Chapter 27: Underground Palace

Watching Hu Bayi and two people enter the Qianjin Gate, Wang Kaixuan asked Zhang Linda: "Brother Zhang, are we brothers?"
Zhang Lin glanced at the other party and said, "No!"
"Hey you..." Wang Kaixuan said angrily: "Our group has experienced so much, such as the big glacier, the fire ladybug... and the army ants... we have been through life and death, sharing weal and woe... this life-long friendship, aren't we brothers?"
Zhang Lin put away the iron sword he was cleaning, looked at Wang Kaixuan helplessly and said, "What do you want to say?"
Wang Kaixuan pointed to the underground river: "That water is used for rats to bathe, and you didn't remind us?"
"In the desert, if there is no water, let alone rat bathing water, you will drink excrement. What do you mind?"
"Instead of worrying about this here, you should go help Professor Chen and the others and finish the sampling as soon as possible. When Hu Bayi and the others come back, we can leave."
When Wang Kaixuan heard this, he pursed his lips and said, "I can't do what they do." After saying that, he went to the river to wash his hands.

But it was said that Hu Bayi and Shirley Yang entered the Qianjin Gate, and they walked a long way and were still in a cave.
The two walked along the passage for a long time. When they turned the corner, they found a passage with no end in sight. Hu Ba said, "Why is this not the end yet?"
Shirley Yang was also confused after hearing this, and couldn't help but guess: "Do you think we are already in the tomb passage of Queen Jingjue's tomb?"
Hu Ba glanced at Shirley Yang, nodded and said, "I'm really not sure!" He took out a diffuser rod from his backpack and threw it forward. The light of the diffuser rod illuminated the distance, and the two of them discovered it.
As expected, they were in a corridor similar to a tomb passage.
Hu Badi said: "The tomb passages in the Central Plains are rarely this long, but fortunately, someone has already entered before us. If there is an ambush, there should be traces left. This saves me the trouble."
Hearing this, Shirley Yang turned to look at Hu Bayi with a serious expression and said: "Old Hu, I want to ask you something. You have to answer me truthfully. Are you a tomb robber?"
Hu Bayi was surprised when he heard this. Seeing Shirley Yang looking at him with a half-smile but not a smile, he immediately pretended to be hurt by being doubted by someone he trusted and said: "How is that possible? How could you think like this!"
Seeing Hu Bayi's appearance, Shirley Yang shrugged and said, "I just made a guess. I asked in passing as I thought of it. I think you know the long-lost secret technique of dividing gold and fixing acupoints, and you don't know anything about ancient tomb construction."
It's not unfamiliar, it's as familiar as your backyard, really like a tomb robber."
Hu Ba listened one by one and quickly explained: "Didn't I tell you before? These are all skills passed down from our ancestors. My grandfather used to be a famous Feng Shui master in our area. He always gave advice to others.
Yin Mansion. Later, my father joined the army and learned nothing. Instead, he came to me and later became this hobby."
Shirley Yang nodded lightly, but still looked unbelieving. Hu Bayi continued to fool around: "Don't you understand me yet? I just like to study." As he said this, he also talked about sex, saying that he also
Like to study.
Seeing this, Shirley Yang confirmed that Hu Bayi was the tomb robber.
Hu Bayi thought he had deceived him, but little did he know that the gold-touching charms hanging around his and Fatty Wang's necks had been discovered by Shirley Yang, and now it was just a confirmation.
Seeing Hu Bayi walking forward, Shirley Yang followed behind and continued to ask: "What about Zhang Lin who came with you? Is he with you?"
"Zhang Lin?" Hu Bayi frowned and said, "I'm not going to lie to you. As for Zhang Lin, Fatty and I really don't know his origins. We only knew him a few hours earlier than you did.
If we are familiar with him, it can only be Da Jinya who introduced us.
Before meeting him again, the big golden tooth told us some things about him. This man came from Bashu. He is very mysterious and has extraordinary skills."
"Big gold tooth!"
"Yes, don't you recognize Big Gold Tooth?" Hu Bayi said in surprise: "He introduced me, Fatty, and Zhang Lin to your archaeological team."
Shirley Yang said: "I funded this archaeological team, but because of the relationship between Professor Chen and my father, Professor Chen is in charge of the personnel. I have only met him once under the leadership of Professor Chen in Panjiayuan, and I am not very familiar with him.
Why, does he know Mr. Zhang’s origin?”
"He?" Hu Bayi shook his head after hearing this and said, "It may be a mystery. I heard Da Jinya himself say that it was a coincidence that he met Zhang Lin.
It seems that it was because when he was selling antiques a few years ago, he sold a batch of fake goods to a Dongying businessman. Later, when the Dongying businessman tasted them with his friends, he discovered that he had bought fakes.
Although the antique business pays close attention to money and goods and does not accept credit, the Dongying businessman lost face in front of his friends because of the fake goods of Big Gold Teeth. He was so angry that he found some thugs to cause trouble for Big Gold Teeth. At that time, Zhang
Lin happened to be passing by and gave him a hand, so Da Jinya got to know him and helped him open an antique shop opposite his own shop. What is the name of that shop: a serious antique shop."
"A serious antique store?" Shirley Yang asked curiously: "Why did you choose such a strange store name? Do you think other antique stores are not serious?"
Hu Bayi smiled and said: "I don't know what he thinks, but don't tell me, this name is impressive at first glance. Fatty and I just took a casual look when we went to Lao Jin's store. The name of Lao Jin's store
I can't remember it now, but I took a look at the name of the store at that time, and hey! I still remember it, and when you ask me, I remember it.
But why are you asking about him? You don’t suspect that he is a tomb robber, do you?"
Shirley Yang laughed when he heard this and said: "No, I just think he is quite mysterious and I am a little curious.
You see, how much he helped us along the way. If it weren't for him, you and the fat man might have ended up in the Great Glacier, and that magical talisman, aren't you curious?"
Hu Bayi muttered: It's really curious, even more curious than my grandfather's story.
"What did you say?" Shirley Yang didn't hear Hu Bayi's murmur clearly. She only vaguely heard the word "grandpa" and asked.
Hu Bayi, who knew he had made a mistake, laughed and said: "Nothing, I just want to finish exploring the tomb passages quickly and then go back quickly, otherwise they will inevitably worry if they are outside after a long time."
When Shirley Yang heard this, she nodded suspiciously. Her intuition told her that Hu Bayi was hiding something, but now that time was tight and it was difficult to go into details, she didn't ask further.
The two quickened their pace and soon came out of the tomb passage. What was in front of them was a broken cliff.
"We've reached the end, there's no way ahead!"
Hu Bayi took a flashlight and saw that except for the cliff in front of him, there were cliffs all around. There was no way to go. If he wanted to move forward, he could only use a rope to go down below to find it.
Shirley Yang looked at the remaining cliff in front of her that had obviously been deliberately destroyed and said: "I think the queen's coffin is down there. After the Jingjue people buried Queen Jingjue, they destroyed the road so that no one could
Disturbing Queen Jingjue’s peaceful sleep again.”
Hu Ba heard this one by one: "That's just right. Let's go back home. Let's go back!"
When Shirley Yang heard this, she ignored Hu Bayi who was about to leave, took out the fireworks stick, lit it, and threw it off the cliff.
Chapter completed!
