Chapter 23: The Aftermath

"How much fire is hidden down here?" Ling Xiaozi looked at the scene of the whole village like a volcanic eruption, and said in a trembling voice.

Flames rushed into the air along the cracks, accompanied by countless poisonous gases, and even the sky turned into a gray color. The entire village took on a distorted appearance, concave from the center of the wellhead. Countless Martian webs are simmering on the cobwebs that cover the earthβ€”the land is approaching a tipping point, and once it is reached, the entire land will collapse into a hell of fire and poisonous gas.

At this moment, a gas mask was buckled on Jiang Xian's face. In the haze, two headlights pierced the gray fog, and Chu Ziyi's urn voice sounded angrily: "Quick!" Get in! ”

There was no need for any nonsense, everyone jumped into the car at full speed. Just when Hong Siniang just hung up on the back of the car, Chu Ziyi stepped on the accelerator, and the jeep drove frantically towards the outside of the village.

"Hey...... Ay! It's okay to let the old lady get in the car! Hong Siniang buckled the gas mask, grabbed the rear armrest of the off-road vehicle with one hand, and hung the spare tire with a small fist in the other. Due to the speed of the car, his medium-long hair, which almost covered half of his face, was blown messy in the wind.

"Don't you know anything about respecting ladies?! Who, fatty! Big Arhat, just talk about you! Get out of the car and get your husband up! ”

The eight-armed Arhat ignored him, but turned on his phone and kept scrolling through something. Ling Xiaozi stretched his neck curiously: "What are you looking at?" ”

"Look at the divorce process and the division of property." The eight-armed Arhat said quietly.

Just as her last word fell, a shocking bang suddenly came from behind her. The shock wave swept away the poisonous fog in the center of the village, and instantly rushed out hundreds of meters in a ring. Everyone looked back and was stunned to see ...... The dry well in the center was gone, and there a swarthy hole appeared, accompanied by a furious pillar of fire that soared into the sky. The ground on all sides seemed to melt, and it fell madly towards the center!

"my grandmother!!" Chu Ziyi's hair stood on end, with the dry well as the center of the surrounding land, along with the entire village, it didn't take ten seconds for all of them to sink into the ground. If they can't get out, they'll have to be buried here forever with this village!

"Hold on!" He stepped on the accelerator and the jeep rushed forward at full speed. However, at the moment of acceleration, the ground in front of him ...... A huge crack appeared.

The land was baked and dried...... Everyone felt chills down their spine. Now the surrounding land is like chocolate, which crumbles when you break it. The scope of the shock wave was greatly restrained in the dirt, so that only the soil in the center of the dry well was rushing upward, and when it reached them, it was desperately sinking downward.

Like a whirlpool.

"Don't stop!!" Jiang Xian shouted desperately: "Rush over!" There is still a chance to rush over! ”

Stop and die!

Of course Chu Ziyi knew, but it was undeniable that feeling his weightlessness made him hesitate for a moment, the ground was sinking at a terrifying speed, and now their car had tilted about ten degrees.

"I don't want to die here!!" He had just loosened the accelerator again, his eyes were red, and the whole car rushed forward at full speed.

Just as the jeep rushed forward, the ground was still sinking, and they could clearly see that the car had sunk twenty degrees in an instant! And it is getting closer and closer to the end of the upturned floor ahead.

At this moment, time seems to freeze.

No one could hear a sound, their eyes only looked at the head of the car, and the jeep's tires spun wildly, like an old cow being chased by a tiger, and let out a piercing scream. 10 meters ...... Five-meter ...... Three-meter ...... One meter!

Brush...... In the next second, everyone felt ...... They flew.

At this moment, almost all of them closed their eyes. You can even feel the wind blowing in your ears, and all that is left is the prayer of your heart.

Boom β€”β€”! With a heavy tremble, the whole car was a foot away from the seat, and was pulled back by the seat belt. Chu Ziyi stared at his reddened eyes and drove forward at full speed.

"Whew......" Ling Xiaozi collapsed in the co-pilot seat like a detachment, and he only now felt that time had returned to speed. Everything in front of him gradually took on a real picture, and he could clearly see that they were now running on the only dirt road leading to the village.

This rocky, uneven dirt road is so solid to the touch at the moment.

What about the back?

He couldn't help but look back, and was shocked to find that the entire village was shrouded in flames and gray mist. Vaguely visible, at the edge of the village, is a circle of bottomless ravines.

"I'm a good immortal......" He wiped a cold sweat, turned his head in this position and asked, "What to do next?" ”

Jiang Xian also turned his head to look at the back, and pulled Hong Siniang up by the way. After a long time, he turned around and sighed: "Find a place to stop first." ”

"Stopping?" Ling Xiaozi was stunned and said, "There may be a secret passage to the Mausoleum of the First Emperor down here, so you won't go?!" ”

Jiang Xian didn't answer him, but beckoned, Ling Xiaozi jumped on the car door knowingly, leaned on the car door less than a centimeter, and lay down like a little dragon girl sleeping with a golden lock. And Jiang Xian stepped into the co-pilot seat.

Chu Ziyi glanced at the other party and didn't speak.

Jiang Xian didn't speak, took out a cigarette and lit it, then pulled the car up to the drawer, took out a pair of sunglasses and brought it on. Only then did he say: "Whether you want to explore or not, it depends on how Mr. Chu and his boss communicate." ”

Chu Ziyi's lips moved, and his eyes did not look at Jiang Xian. After a few seconds, he said, "What do you mean by Mr. Jiang?" ”

Jiang Xian pushed his sunglasses and said lazily: "It's not interesting to ask knowingly." ”

Chu Ziyi raised his eyebrows, and finally smiled bitterly: "Mr. Jiang, I just worked for the Shenzhou Auction House. I can't do anything like this when something like this happens. ”

Before he could finish speaking, a blunt object was already pressed against his right side of his chest and abdomen. Jiang Xian looked directly into his eyes and said in a deep voice: "If you can't do it, then I'll do it!" ”

"You either go or stay. Pick one. ”

The muscles of Chu Ziyi's cheeks trembled: "Mr. Jiang, this is not in accordance with the rules. ”

The people in the back row were laughing and laughing, and the people in the back row were getting divorced, as if they didn't see what was happening in the front row.

Chu Ziyi gritted his teeth: "Mr. Jiang, you should know who the four surnames Song, Ye, Xu, and Deng represent." The establishment of the Shenzhou Auction House, to put it bluntly, is to monitor the national antique market after the 00-year purge of the archaeological community...... If it's a three-prince-level Qin tomb, I don't have to say, it's no problem to give up your body and bones to accompany your uncle. But ......"

He grinded his teeth and said from between his teeth, "This may be the secret passage of the Mausoleum of the First Emperor!" ”

"It's not something I can do at all, Lord! I must report it immediately! This is my duty, to take people's money and eliminate disasters with people. You can't abandon me, can you? That's a bit immoral. ”

"And then?" Jiang Xian's fingertips pressed a sheathed knife against Chu Ziyi's chest and abdomen: "Shenzhou report to the top, and then the archaeological team enters?" The Chinese Academy of Social Sciences intervened ......"

"Mr. Jiang!" Chu Ziyi finally couldn't help but say loudly: "You're not bad for money!" I can't get along with this tomb and the top! The four bosses are the heavens of today's Chinese antique industry! If you anger them, no one wants to mess around in this business! ”

Jiang Xian grabbed the other party's collar and pulled the other party over. Chu Ziyi subconsciously braked. The car swerved to the side of the road with a shrill hiss. Jiang Xian forced him to look at him, and said word by word: "Do you know the legend of the mountains and seas?" ”

Chu Ziyi's throat moved: "You know, you will die at the age of 25." Cursed ......"

"Below, there may be a clue to the curse!!" Jiang Xian stared at him: "No matter who stops me, I must be the first to go down!" ”

Chu Ziyi took a deep breath, bit his lip and looked at the sky: "The archaeological team of the Academy of Social Sciences can still find ...... when they enter."

"I can't trust them!" Jiang Xian said in a deep voice: "Don't lie to yourself. You don't know what my curse is, and if you find something related, the first thing to report is the scientific research institute! When it's my turn here, I'm afraid Lao Tzu will have already been cremated! Are you a three-year-old when I am a three-year-old? ”

He let go of his hand, and Chu Ziyi slammed into the car door with a calm face. Jiang Xian said quietly: "Moreover, I don't believe in their craftsmanship. ”

"This cemetery mechanism has been fully activated, and there are only a handful of masters in this line of work in the Archaeological Bureau. It's all a group of consultants who go to the elderly, and one of the young Zhuang factions is not there! Can they go to the ground? Even if they all come, they won't be able to pass this level! ”

"Mr. Jiang." Chu Ziyi looked at Jiang Xian deeply for a long time, as if he had made up his mind, and said in a deep voice: "With all due respect, I'm afraid you really need the Shenzhou Auction House." ”

"Oh?" Jiang Xian raised his eyebrows and asked quietly.

Chu Ziyi breathed a sigh of relief and said solemnly: "You don't often be active in the government, and you don't know the government's processes. I bet that a wildfire of this magnitude will be seen by the Forestry Department right away. Immediately after that, the Foping County Government will immediately stop your actions! ”

"Without government approval, you are tomb robbers. The state can arrest you at any time. And this matter, only Shenzhou Auction House can handle it! ”

"Also, this tomb is so dangerous, do you need to add more? Do the people we brought back from the well need first aid? What clues does he know? So, you have to go to Foping Hospital, and if you tear your face with Shenzhou, you can't get this support, I'm afraid you will be arrested as soon as you step into the hospital. Also, you will need to spend at least a month to purchase all the equipment. ”

He paused, cautiously tentatively, "If I'm not mistaken...... In five or six months, Mr. Jiang, you will be 25 years old. ”

Jiang Xian blinked, and suddenly said, "What do you want?" ”

Chu Ziyi stopped laughing. He bowed slightly gracefully, and the business was very peaceful, as if he had thought about it a long time ago: "I want to go in with you." ”

"Also...... Please also ask Mr. Jiang to help me choose a less important, but expensive plaything. ”

In an instant, everyone opened their mouths slightly and looked at Chu Ziyi unexpectedly.

Facing a complicated gaze, Chu Ziyi said very calmly: "The world is crowded, and it is all for profit. If it weren't for the state's monitoring, we wouldn't be able to do what we do, so why would I succumb to China? Guys, don't you really think that I'm happy to work in Shenzhou, right? ”

"If you can pump your hands, why don't you smoke them?" He sighed faintly: "In this life, I have poured too many fights, and it is time for me to be positive and virtuous and enjoy my old age in peace." ”

After a moment of silence, Hong Siniang chuckled: "This is 'taking people's money and eliminating disasters with others'?" Boss Chu, it's ...... angry."

"Know the current affairs and understand the variables." Ling Xiaozi also gave a thumbs up: "Boss Chu, when did you start thinking about this matter?" ”

Chu Ziyi didn't hide it: "Just now, after we escaped. ”

"It was also determined that Mr. Jiang was determined, so I dared to bet on this." He looked at Jiang Xian: "It's up to me to contact Shenzhou, it's still this matter." But the people you are looking for are completely different. ”

Jiang Xian seemed to have re-acquainted himself with Chu Ziyi, nodded with a smile and looked at the other party, and stretched out his palm: "Words are out." ”

"It will be fruitful." Chu Ziyi raised his eyebrows and said, and at the same time stretched out his hand.

Syllable! The two hands were clasped together.
