Ling Bai ran away overnight, which forced Ah Huai to change his plan.
Only one of the two originally scheduled experts remained.
At the breakfast table, Ah Huai started to talk about the business.
"Brother Zhang is here to destroy copper, right?"
I nodded as I drank my porridge.
Shao Xiaolong said skillfully: "That thing does exist, and it is very evil. I guess only people in your field are interested in that thing."
"When others see it, they wish they could hide away thousands of miles away."
I looked sideways and asked, "Does Brother Shao also know about Sha Tong?".
Shao Xiaolong: "In fact, some people who have visited the tomb have seen it more or less, but few know them."
"I saw it once, and I did something stupid at that time."
Under my curious gaze, Shao Xiaolong smiled ashamedly and said:
"That is the most dangerous and mysterious tomb I have ever been to."
"That time, more than ten people from our team went down, but only three people came up in the end."
"Four people disappeared on the way down, and then we encountered some things we had never seen before one after another. It can be said that there were heavy casualties."
"The most ridiculous thing is that we didn't even see the main tomb chamber, and several people were almost dead until we got to the front room of the tomb chamber, where I saw a small piece of bronze. The first time you saw that thing, you knew it at a glance. Know that it is nothing special."
"It is like a natural ice cube, always maintaining a temperature of about ten degrees. The whole thing looks like a blood-stained copper block. Its body is a copper lock on a corpse."
"A few of us became greedy when we met. If we can take this copper lock out, this trip will not be a loss."
"The copper lock is both a treasure and a disaster. Our team is originally composed of scattered tomb robbers. When the disaster comes, they all go away. The captain also died before, so after encountering this copper lock, greed has covered people's hearts."
"We started fighting among ourselves over the copper lock and killed each other. In the end, another friend and I took the copper lock out with our lives."
"But after we left the tomb, the color of the copper lock suddenly changed. Before, it was scarlet all over and felt cold to the touch. But in just five hours after we left the tomb, the copper lock changed from a treasure to worthless rotten copper."
"We took the copper and asked people to test it several times, and the results were all ordinary copper. Later, we found an expert who knew the magic of evil copper. That thing is only a rare thing in the tomb, and it will soon turn into rot after leaving the tomb. copper".
"A piece of rotten copper, let us people fight each other, do you think it's ridiculous or not?"
"Although I am curious about how Taoist Zhang will preserve this evil copper and what use it is to you, I will not ask. Since it is the request of Brother A Huai, and Taoist Zhang is a disciple of the Four-pupil Heavenly Master of Fulong Mountain, I have This experience will naturally help."
I sincerely thanked Shao Xiaolong again, and at the same time said in a personal manner: "Brother Shao, help me once, Zhang San will remember it in his heart."
After the breakfast table was cleared, Ah Huai took out a map and spread it flat on the table.
The topography of the entire river was drawn on light yellow rough paper, and several places on the map had been marked by him in advance.
Ah Huai pointed to a place and said, "After I learned about Daozhang Zhang's needs, I immediately started investigating."
"Brother Zhang wants evil bronze. Evil bronze can only appear in thousand-year-old tombs. Such large tombs are generally either included by the state or have been visited by insiders."
"Of course, I know very little about the circles outside Jiangxi. I can only try to find it in Jiangxi."
"I have visited several places on this map. The age is very likely to be close to the demand. Considering the degree of danger and the difficulty of getting down to the tomb, I can only say that this tomb has hope."
His finger landed on a mountain called Qianling, surrounded by deep forests:
"There is a large tomb here. Brother Shao and I have initially entered and inspected it, but have not gone in depth. According to our experience, this place is very likely to contain evil copper."
"So I would like to ask for Brother Zhang's opinion on whether to try here. If it doesn't work here, then we can only set our sights outside the river, but then time will not be guaranteed. Several months, or even a year or two.”
I said calmly: "Then just listen to Brother Ah Huai. Since I came to Jiangxi, I naturally trust Brother Ah Huai."
"You said there is hope in that place, then we will give it a try."
Ah Huai showed a comfortable smile. He liked this feeling of being trusted very much: "Okay, I will start preparing in the next two days."
"Actually, if it weren't for Brother Zhang, even Brother Shao and I wouldn't have the confidence to enter this tomb. There had been some intruders targeting that tomb before. I waited outside the tomb for half a month, but in the end the group still didn't. come out".
"Brother Shao and I almost lost our lives several times when we went to check out the points. If we don't pay attention to details, we will lose our lives."
"Now that Brother Zhang is here, this trip will be much smoother."
Brother Shao was full of expectations: "Daozhang Zhang is a disciple of the Four-Eyed Celestial Master, how could those tricks and tricks escape his eyes?"
I showed them a confident smile that reassured them, and I was somewhat sure of this in my heart.
If you have Chongtong with you, you will indeed be more handy than them. Even traps and other things cannot escape Chongtong.
For inverted combat, the double-pupil bUg has some kind of mechanism or hidden weapon trap. As long as you can see it, there is a way to solve it.
This is what I am good at. If I really can’t do it in the future, I will still be able to pursue this career.
After that, Ah Huai told me about the tomb and its approximate location.
The time for burial was determined to be in the evening one day later.
In their line of work, it is important to go to the tomb at night while the rooster crows. This has been passed down from ancient times.
I heard Ah Huai say that this rule was originally because tomb robbers were afraid of being seen robbing tombs during the day.
Robbing graves all the time at night gradually evolved into a taboo.
And these young people also silently abide by this taboo.
The preparations for going to the tomb, emergency supplies, tools, medicines, etc. were all prepared by Brother Shao. As a veteran, he was naturally familiar with the process.
Without Ling Bai, there were only three of them and one corpse, and Qin Yan would also follow. "
I didn't ask much about this. It was pointless to ask. Tan Yan was not alive and had nothing to worry about.
It is more reasonable for Qin Yan to go to the tomb than for these people. Isn't it unreasonable for the body to go to the tomb?
The result of going to the tomb does not depend on the number of people. No matter how many people there are, if the means are not good enough, you will still not be able to get out in the end.
One afternoon later,
Ah Huai drove Shao Xiaolong and Qin Yan to Qianling Mountain in his Wuling chariot.
In Ah Huai's words, this Wuling is sometimes much easier to use than those off-road vehicles, and it's also cheaper.
You can use it and throw it away, build it as you like, and you won’t feel bad if you lose one and buy another one.
At about eight or nine o'clock in the evening, we stopped in the wild forest.
Because cars can't drive on the road behind, we can only rely on walking.
Each person carried a big bag, and Ah Huai took Qin Yan's place, so he carried two bags.
I removed the plaster on my left hand in advance, and the recovery speed was surprisingly fast.
After more than two hours of walking and climbing, we finally arrived at the spot on the Ahuai River that Shao Xiaolong had set out in advance.
That place was a bumpkin suddenly appeared in a forest.
But the earth bag has been opened, and the dark hole leading to the unknown is punched on the side of the earth bag.
There are footprints of different depths and shallowness on the surrounding ground, and rotten leaves are pressed down by the footprints...
Ahuaihe Shao Xiaolong's face changed drastically when he saw it.
Ah Huaiwen said angrily: "Damn it, someone got there first!"
"The one who fought backwards went in!".
