Zhou Tao, Xiong Bingshuo and the others came to a position about twenty miles east of the Tianyuan Sect, Xiong Bingshuo observed the surrounding environment and found that the surroundings were sparsely populated.

Xiong Bingshuo saw two deep rut marks on the road, so he squatted down and observed the rut marks.

"Xiong Gongzi, the road here has not been repaired for a long time, and the vehicles coming and going are almost all driving along the rutted prints, and I can't see anything at all. Zhou Tao said to Xiong Bingshuo.

When Xiong Bingshuo heard this, he got up and pointed to the road and asked Zhou Tao: "Dare to ask Zhou Daxia, where does this road lead?"

Zhou Tao replied: "Follow this road for more than ten miles to the river. ”

When Xiong Bingshuo heard this, he thought: So that the group of people can take a boat to the upper reaches of the river, or they can take a boat to the lower reaches of the river, and they can also cross the river, it seems that the traces of that group of people are indeed difficult to detect.

"Thank you Zhou Daxia for your hard work in bringing us here. Xiong Bingshuo said to Zhou Tao.

Zhou Tao arched his hand and said, "Gongzi Xiong is polite." ”

"Zhou Daxia, I'm going back to Xuzhou, does Zhou Daxia need us to send you back?" Xiong Bingshuo said politely.

"No need, I'll just go back by myself, Xiong Gongzi walks slowly, and has a smooth journey. Zhou Tao arched his hand and said.

"Okay, Zhou Daxia, let's say goodbye, please take care. Xiong Bingshuo said to Zhou Tao.

"Take care, everyone. Zhou Tao arched his hand and said.

Xiong Bingshuo and the others turned around and prepared to leave, when Xiong Bingshuo suddenly thought of something, so he turned to Zhou Tao and said: "Zhou Daxia, the fish intestine sword and even the treasure, the person who gets it is likely to hide the news, and it may be difficult to find out the news of the fish intestine sword." However, that group of people will definitely divide the other property looted in the Tianyuan Sect, and it may be easier for your faction to start from this aspect. ”

Zhou Tao raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and said, "Yes, thank you Xiong Gongzi for reminding me." ”

"Zhou Daxia is polite, and please let Zhou Daxia notify us as soon as there is news of that group. Xiong Bingshuo said again.

"That's for sure. Zhou Tao replied.

Zhou Taomu also turned around and left after sending Xiong Bingshuo and the others to ride north.

After Xiong Bingshuo and the others walked away, one of Xiong Bingshuo's senior brothers asked Xiong Bingshuo in confusion: "Thirteenth junior brother, why don't you say that group of people just set fire to the Tianyuan Sect and destroy the corpses?"

Xiong Bingshuo replied: "First of all, that group of people did not leave any traces that could easily reveal their identities, and secondly, if that group set fire, it would definitely attract people around them, and then it would be easy to cause trouble." ”

"I see. The questioner suddenly realized.

When Xiong Bingshuo and the others were about to go to Chaohu Lake, Xiong Bingshuo saw that it was getting late, so he thought in his heart: We should be about to catch up with the eldest brother and them, but now it is late, if we continue to move forward, it is likely that we will miss the eldest brother and them, so we will rest for one night and wait for tomorrow after dawn before leaving.

Xiong Bingshuo stopped his mount when he thought of this, and the others stopped their mounts when they saw Xiong Bingshuo stop.

Xiong Bingshuo immediately said to everyone: "Senior brothers, senior brothers, it is getting late now, in my opinion, we should camp and rest on the spot, and it is not too late to set off tomorrow." ”

"Hmm. There was no objection.

It was night, the moon was scarce, and two men in black came to the forest on the west side of Chaohu Lake.

The two men in black stopped at a small mound in the forest, then took out the tools they had with them and assembled them.

After they assembled the shovel, one of the men in black took the shovel and explored on the mound, while the other man in black with a sword at his waist let off the wind.

After about half an hour, the man in black with the sword asked the man in black who was looking for the tomb with some impatience, "Can you do it? Why hasn't it been so long?"

The man in black who was looking for the tomb resignedly said, "Go back to your lordship, you will find it soon." ”

"It's best to find it quickly, and if you can't find it, I'll throw you into Chaohu Lake to feed the fish." The man in black with the sword said fiercely.

After another quarter of an hour, the man in black who was looking for the tomb used a shovel to bring up some dirt buried deep in the ground, and after carefully distinguishing it, he suddenly showed joy, and happily ran to the man in black with a sword and said, "My lord, I have found the location of the tomb." ”

The man in black with the sword was overjoyed when he heard this, and said, "Let's go, dig up." ”

"Yes. The man in black who was looking for the tomb respectfully responded.

The two men in black then began digging the robbery hole, and it took them only an hour to dig into the tomb.

"You go down first. The man in black with the sword shouted to the man in black who was looking for the tomb.

The man in black who was looking for the tomb said in embarrassment: "My lord, please wait, the tomb has just been dug up now, and it is full of poisonous gas, and the tomb must be ventilated before you can enter it." ”

"How long will it take?" asked the man in black with the sword frowning.

The man in black who was looking for the tomb replied cautiously, "It will take at least a few hours." ”

The man in black with the sword thought that the man in black who was looking for the tomb could not die until he completed his mission, so he said, "Anyway, we must get something before dawn." ”

"Don't worry, my lord, we'll get it before dawn. The man in black who was looking for the tomb patted his chest and assured.

Then the two men in black sat down to rest, the man in black who was looking for the tomb squinted and took a nap, while the man in black with a sword did not dare to close his eyes.

A few hours later, the man in black with the sword walked up to the man in black who was looking for the tomb, kicked the man in black who was looking for the tomb awake, and said to him, "It's almost dawn, hurry down to the tomb." ”

"Yes, sir. The man in black who was looking for the tomb rubbed his eyes.

The man in black who was looking for the tomb then went down the thief cave with a rope to the tomb, and after a while, the man in black who was looking for the tomb did not feel anything unusual, so he shouted to the outside of the thief cave: "My lord, come down." ”

When the man in black with the sword heard this, he also went down the rope into the tomb.

As soon as the man in black with the sword entered the tomb, he saw the outer coffin placed in the middle of the tomb by the light of the oil lamp lit by the man in black who was looking for the tomb, and the man in black with the sword knew that they had entered the coffin.

"Looks like you're really got two hits. The man in black with the sword couldn't help but praise the man in black looking for the tomb.

"Hehe, the villain eats on this. The man in black who was looking for the tomb said with a smile.

"Open the coffin. Saber's black-clothed voice said softly.

"Yes. "The man in black who is looking for the tomb should arrive.

The man in black who was looking for the tomb immediately took out the tools to open the coffin and walked to the wooden coffin painted with red and black lacquer patterns.

A few quarters of an hour later, the lid of the outer coffin was pried open, and the two men in black worked together to lift the lid of the outer coffin aside, revealing the inner coffin.
