Chapter 230: Heavenly Burial Cliff Shock
It seems that Zhou Yunlong doesn't know about leaving the king's tomb, but Zhou Fenghu seems to know some inside information.
After being silent for a while, he spoke: "I don't hide it, I do know something about leaving the king's tomb, grandfather, father and second uncle have indeed been planning the legendary tomb of the king over the years, and they have indeed taken out a lot of things from the tomb of the king one after another......"
"What? Take something out. Did you open the tomb of the king many years ago?"
Ye Yi and Ye Xiaoling were both surprised, they thought that the key to the king's tomb was in Father Ye's hands and had not been opened, however, things seemed to be a little different from what they imagined.
Zhou Fenghu nodded and said, "Speaking of this matter, in fact, there have been twelve or thirteen years! At that time, I also tried this, and my grandfather, father, and second uncle disappeared for a period of time at the same time, but the time was very short, only three or four days. ”
After a pause, Zhou Fenghu continued: "Later, I learned from my father that they were actually going to explore an ancient tomb, but unfortunately, they only opened the Ming Tomb with all their efforts, and the dark cave has not been able to be opened, and all they got were something less precious. ”
Ye Yi frowned and asked, "Where is the location of the king's tomb?"
Zhou Fenghu smiled bitterly, shook his head and said: "I don't know, I was young at the time, and my father also mentioned it casually, and didn't elaborate, and when I grew up, my father never mentioned this matter, and even the name of the tomb of the king was learned by accident later." ”
"Then what else do you know besides these?" Ye Xiaoling asked urgently.
Zhou Fenghu hesitated: "As far as I know, it seems that it is not only my uncle and our Zhou family who participated in the excavation of the tomb of King Li, but also two other families, one is the Wu family in Falling Moon City, and the other is the Gu family in Yaori City, the strength of their two families is not weaker than my Zhou family, and even a few points stronger." ”
Zhou Yunlong was also worried about the disappearance of his grandfather, father and others, and suddenly said: "In this case, if we want to determine whether Grandpa and they have gone to the tomb of the king, we only need to send someone to Falling Moon City and Yaori City to inquire about the situation of the two of them." ”
Ye Yi and Ye Xiaoling also agreed with this statement, after all, everything is speculation now, and only when the direction is determined can we continue to investigate.
"No need, come back!"
Seeing that Zhou Yunlong was about to arrange manpower, Zhou Fenghu stopped and asked him to sit down, and said slowly: "When I returned home three days ago, I asked people to check it for the first time, and at the same time, the head of the Wu family in Falling Moon City disappeared, and the ancient family in Yaori City said that the head of the family had something important to go to the outer mansion, and the time of return was uncertain. ”
"In addition, the elite Xuan cultivators in the two families have been taken away a lot, and no one knows where they have gone. ”
Zhou Yunlong looked shocked, and felt a little unacceptable about being concealed in the dark: "Big brother, you ...... Why didn't I ever hear you mention it? So, you knew about Grandpa and they went to the tomb of the king? Why didn't you tell me?"
Zhou Fenghu's face sank, and he said sharply: "Why don't you think I told you? Liwang's tomb is a royal tomb, and secretly digging up the king's tomb is a serious crime to exterminate the nine clans. ”
"One more person knows, the more risk of leakage, I believe this is also the reason why grandpa and father never want to mention it to us, and since I know this, even I don't dare to trace it in the slightest, I tell you about it, in addition to a little more risk, what use can it be?"
Zhou Yunlong's mouth moved, but in the end he was speechless, in the face of such a huge risk, there is really no room for personal likes and dislikes, the eldest brother as the eldest son and grandson of the Zhou family can't know, let alone him.
The stakes are very high, if they had come two days earlier, or Ye Yi and they didn't know about leaving the king's tomb at all, then Zhou Fenghu would definitely choose to keep his mouth shut and would not reveal half a sentence about leaving the king's tomb.
But now that so many days have passed, all the people have not returned, which is obviously a problem, and Ye Yi and the others themselves know some inside information about the king's tomb, so there is no need to hide it.
Before leaving, the old lady Zhou and the others left an explanation that they said that they would come back in three or five days, but now it is obviously beyond the expected time, there must be something wrong, and if they want to know what happened, they must first find out where the tomb of the king is located and dig it out.
However, no one knew the exact location of the king's tomb, and things were a little frozen.
In the end, it was Zhou Fenghu who spoke: "Actually, these days, I have been deducing the location of the king's tomb based on some of the past actions of my grandfather and father, and I gradually have a guess in my heart. ”
Ye Yi asked, "Where is that place, and on what basis did you infer it?"
Zhou Fenghu didn't rush to speak, but took out a map of the topography of Ziyang Mansion, and said slowly: "There is no doubt that it will take three or four days to complete the back and forth plus excavation, then it can basically be determined that the tomb of the king is in Ziyang Mansion, not in the outer mansion." ”
"In the past few days, I've been wondering why the Wu family and the Gu family can participate in the excavation of the tomb of the king of Liwang, is it the tomb of the king that several families discovered at the same time? Or is it because grandpa is not strong enough to take out the treasure in the tomb of the king of Li, so they need to cooperate with allies, or some other reason. ”
"The three cities of Luoyue, Yaori, and Tianning are adjacent, to put it bluntly, my Zhou family's business territory is adjacent to their Wu family and Gu family's business territory, and there are some conflicts on weekdays, if there is a choice, I believe that grandpa and father will never choose to cooperate with the two of them. ”
"Except for some very small probabilities, the remaining possibilities are that the tomb of the king was discovered by the three families at the same time, or in other words, the location of the tomb of the king is in the common coverage area of the three forces, and if either party wants to move, it is difficult to hide the eyes of the other two. ”
After that, Zhou Fenghu pointed to a huge group of mountains on the edge of Tianning City on the map, and analyzed: "This is the Heavenly Burial Mountain Range, which happens to be in the common influence coverage of the Wu family of Falling Moon City, the ancient family of Yaori City, and the Zhou family of my Tianning City. ”
"Moreover, many years ago, there was news that there was a small mine in the Tianfu Mountain Range, and the mineral rights were in the hands of my Zhou family, Wu family, and Gu family, which was a very small part of the overlapping business of our three families. ”
"But the problem is that for so many years, there are so few minerals mined, but the three families still firmly occupy the mine, and even spend a lot of money to gradually move out the residents in it for more than ten years, which is obviously strange. ”
Saying this, Ye Yi and Ye Xiaoling really listened to the more they listened, the more they felt that the so-called tomb of the king was mostly in the range of the Heavenly Burial Mountain, although the scope of the Heavenly Burial Mountain was still very large, but at least there was a range to search.
was discussing whether to send some reliable people to investigate, and suddenly there was a rush of footsteps outside the courtyard, although Ye Yi and the others were talking about things, but their spiritual sense had been released, and the wind and grass within ten zhang could not hide from them, so they quickly stopped at the moment.
Seeing an old servant hurriedly breaking in from outside the courtyard, Zhou Yunlong's face suddenly darkened, and he said in a deep voice: "Didn't you say it? We have important matters to discuss, and without the order of me and my eldest brother, no one is allowed to approach this small courtyard within ten zhang." ”
The old servant was stopped, and he was suddenly startled, and bent down and said urgently: "The second young master is angry, the old slave has something important and must report to the eldest young master immediately." ”
"What can't you wait for us to ......?"
Zhou Yunlong was about to get angry, but was stopped by Zhou Fenghu waving his hand, his face was dark, his eyes were burning at the old servant, and he asked directly: "Did I explain what happened to the place where you live?"
"Something has indeed happened...... the old servant nodded hurriedly, and was about to speak, when his eyes fell on Zhou Yunlong and Ye Yi, and he immediately swallowed the words back.
Zhou Fenghu looked around and said slowly: "Just say it! At this time, there is no need to hide it from them." ”
The old servant responded: "An hour ago, a large entrance to the ancient tomb of the underground palace appeared in the Heavenly Burial Cliff in the center of the Heavenly Burial Mountain Range, causing a great chaos, and the news was not sealed, and it is estimated that it will spread soon. ”
"What?"
Ye Yi's faces changed in shock, and Zhou Fenghu said with a calm face: "Didn't I explain to you earlier? Once there is any change in the Heavenly Burial Mountain Range, immediately block the news with all its might, how can the news spread so quickly? What the hell is going on?"
The old slave hurriedly explained: "At first, the earth dragon turned over, and the entire Heavenly Burial Mountain rumbled and shook for a full quarter of an hour, and many people nearby were attracted to it, because the scope of the tremor was too wide, our people couldn't stop it at all. ”
"Later, after determining that the epicenter was in the Heavenly Burial Cliff, our people wanted to go to block it, but the Heavenly Burial Cliff was affected by the turning of the earth dragon, and the Heavenly Burial Cliff collapsed out of a huge underground palace entrance, and soon after, there were Yin corpses rushing out of the underground palace one after another, biting people when they saw them, some of the Yin corpses were extremely powerful, and some were not under the imperial qi realm, the scene was chaotic, and our people could only retreat if they couldn't hold it. ”
"According to the entrance of the underground palace, it can be judged that this is a large underground palace tomb, its specific age has not yet been determined, many people present have seen it, and the news is estimated to spread soon. ”
After the old servant finished reporting, Zhou Fenghu waved his hand and retreated, and Ye Yi and the others in the courtyard looked at each other, and they were a little stunned for a while.
“......”
“......”
Especially Zhou Fenghu, just now he was still listing various reasons to explain how likely he judged the tomb of the king to be in the Heavenly Burial Mountain Range, but before he finished speaking, the news was hammered, which made him always feel a frustration in his heart that his fist hit the cotton.
Now there is no need to look for it, it can be directly determined that the so-called tomb of the king should be in the Heavenly Burial Cliff of the Heavenly Burial Mountain Range.
Although now everyone doesn't know what the origin of this new underground palace tomb is, and even many people don't know the news of the appearance of the underground palace tomb in the Heavenly Burial Cliff.
But this news can't be hidden for long, and soon countless people will come to chrysalis, once the specific style of the royal mausoleum is spread, the imperial court will definitely make some moves, and the city lord's mansion in several cities near the Heavenly Burial Cliff may not be enough to suppress many outlaw Xuan Xiu who are attracted by the ancient tomb burial goods, but it won't be long before the Ziyang Mansion Lord's Mansion knows the news, and will definitely send a master to take over.
The whole process only took about one day, so now they had to rush to the Heavenly Burial Cliff immediately to rescue Father Ye and the people of the Zhou family who might be trapped inside before the Ziyang Mansion Lord's Mansion took over the Heavenly Burial Cliff.
