Chapter 586: The withered bones of the two forces!
Regarding the fact that Hu Ming went out and brought Aning back with him...
Luo Que and the others naturally wouldn't say much.
And Zhang Rishan, a hundred-year-old monster...
He looked at Hu Ming meaningfully and smiled...
Until the next morning, Zhang Yueshan still cast meaningful smiles at Hu Ming from time to time.
"The Chen family's place is just ahead..."
"On the surface, the Chen family mines the tree jade here for health, but in fact... you should understand what I mean, right?"
Arriving near the Chen family, Zhang Rishan said softly.
"We are all sensible people, do we need to be so boring? What do they do for a living... Do we need to guess more?"
Hu Ming said noncommittally.
"Whether it's fighting upside down or mining trees and turning them into jade, the Chen family has not been comfortable here over the years. Life has been very difficult. As long as it's money-making work, they are willing to do it!"
"Murder, arson, robbery, smuggling, and even selling unique products. As long as there is a lot of profit, they will not miss any of them!"
An Ning, who was next to Hu Ming, smiled lightly and talked about the information she had investigated in Miandian these days.
"There is one more thing worth noting. Do you still remember the excavated bronze door I mentioned yesterday?"
"According to reliable intelligence, Chen... seems to have known that there were certain secrets buried under this land for a long time. After leaving Changsha City, he settled here directly."
Speaking of the time when the Chen family left Changsha City, Aning looked at Hu Ming with a smile on his face.
Those unclear and confusing accounts back then...Hu Ming was probably one of the reasons that forced the Chen family to leave their hometown.
"These are all minor. If it hadn't happened back then, even if Chen Pi died normally, the successors of the Chen family would have moved the clan here."
"Decades ago, Lord Buddha commissioned Chen Pi to build a special... tomb! Yes, the entrance is the bronze door. The secrets underground here are closely related to Lord Buddha."
"Back then, Chen Pi and Buddha made an agreement not to touch the underground secrets, but the rest of the Chen family..."
Having said this, Zhang Yueshan sighed with a hint of regret.
"They are greedy, have insufficient qualifications, and lack ability. Their ambitions are as high as the sky, and their lives are as thin as paper. They don't have that life, but they covet things they shouldn't covet."
"Without him, it's just the way to death."
"Even if we don't come here today, believe it or not, that reckless man Chen Jinshui will bury the entire Chen family in it just to dig up things underground here."
Hu Ming made a summary for Zhang Rishan, which was insightful and concise, and pointed out the biggest problem of the Chen family to the point.
"That's right, that's what happened. After Chen Pi left, there was no one in the Chen family who could take the lead alone. Chen Jinshui... He was a little less ambitious. He had ambitions but didn't have the matching mentality and means.
"
Zhang Rishan was silent, Hu Ming was right, this was a typical mismatch of virtue.
If you don't have the ability or the qualifications to make a fortune, it's really just a recipe for death.
To people like Hu Ming and Zhang Rishan, Chen Jinshui's self-righteous scheming was really just a child's trick, making people laugh.
This is why Zhang Yueshan, as the president of the Nine Gates Association, acquiesces to Hu Ming's next plan.
Instead of letting a rat droppings spoil the pot of soup sooner or later, wouldn't it be better to kill the rat as soon as possible?
While talking, Hu Ming and others had already walked out of the dense forest.
Before our eyes, the surface showed signs of decay and pits.
If you look closely, you will see that the traces of these potholes are still very fresh, and they probably happened within the past two days.
"After the Chen family dug out the bronze door, they immediately sent people to open it and explore it. Strangely, an earthquake occurred due to unknown reasons."
"These potholes in front of us are all caused by ground collapse caused by earthquakes... What's even more strange is that inside these potholes, they are all..."
Aning pointed at the pothole in front of him and said softly.
Before he finished speaking, Hu Ming had already jumped into the nearest pothole that was nearly three meters deep.
"Corpse..."
Aning looked at Hu Ming's movements and sighed.
Hu Ming squatted in front of the body at the bottom of the pit and turned the face-down body over.
This is a corpse that has been eaten by underground microorganisms and only a pair of withered bones are left...
Strangely, the corpse's original nostrils, mouth, ears, eyes, and seven orifices were all tightly stuffed with soil that was different from the loess here.
"Bring them all up!"
Hu Ming borrowed strength from the edge of the pothole, jumped up after a few ups and downs, and gave instructions softly.
After Luo Que and others placed all the bones in the nearby pit together, Hu Ming checked them one by one.
"All of them were buried in this place after their orifices were blocked with soil and suffocated to death."
"There are also these tools...Judging from the time of decay, Zhang Yueshan, do you think this is because your Buddha used this place as a bait, or...the Chen family does not follow the rules?"
Hu Ming glanced at Zhang Rishan and asked softly.
"Both...these people are clearly not members of the same force."
Zhang Yueshan narrowed his eyes and said softly.
"What a coincidence, I think so too!"
Hu Ming nodded and said: "Let's go, what we want is inside the bronze door, don't waste time."
"The problem is, this is the Chen family's territory. We entered without telling you. As the president of the Nine Gates Association, I can't take the lead in tearing up the non-aggression agreement, right?"
"We'd better go say hello to the Chen family."
Zhang Rishan stopped Hu Ming and said awkwardly.
Sometimes, the so-called agreement is actually nonsense, and the great significance of its existence is to tear it up when necessary.
But Zhang Rishan's position is too sensitive, even if it is just to show off and convince the public, he has to lead by example...
"You go ahead, I'll just take people to the bronze door and wait for you."
"Luo Que, take a few people to follow Zhang Rishan... Just in case, I mean just in case, if our President Zhang breaks down with the Chen family, please help!"
"However, I estimate that there is a high probability that that guy Chen Jinshui will ask us to help him go to the ground to explore the treasures inside!"
Hu Ming said that he didn't like those boring conversations, so he just waited for them at the door.
