The old scholar knows a lot. When he was young, he worked at the National Museum of China and the National Treasury. With his knowledge and vision, it is more than enough to become a professor of archeology in the History Department of Tsinghua University and Peking University.
As if telling a story, he told me the past life background of the three Xixia national treasures. After the old scholar and Xiao Kai left, he called out the secrets of the three of us in the middle of the night. The place where we were talking was some distance away from the camp.
I already know why he came to Blackwater City.
If the three things the old scholar said were buried in Blackwater City, how could they not come? It is impossible not to come!
The attraction is too great, and the tomb robbers are so good at it. Some things are not a matter of how much they are worth, but some things I really wish I could get my hands on and take a look at before I die.
I have some vague guesses about why Tou Tou left Dou Sprout Zai without saying goodbye to me in Yinchuan, but I dare not say.
After arriving here, Douyazai was the first to speak loudly: "What's going on? Boss, I told you before, we don't want to go back, we've all come here, let's make a fortune together."
I told you to keep your voice down. It’s so loud. Don’t you know that walls have ears?
Dou Sprout covered his mouth and whispered: "It's past two o'clock, everyone should be asleep. Who can hear us running so far away?"
I asked Xiaoxuan to go out to prevent anyone from eavesdropping, and then we had a secret meeting.
Seeing that he couldn't drive away the bean sprouts, he sighed and lowered his voice when he spoke.
"Yunfeng, Yazai, do you know why the earthworker named Ma Deming ran away a few days ago?"
I said you haven't told me the reason for this. Ma Deming said that he came here with Jiu Qingshui. I think he meant that he was scared when he encountered the sand tomb and didn't dare to do anything before running away.
Hearing what I said, he shook his head: "It's not as simple as you think. After all, he is also a geotechnical worker who came here with Jiuqingshui, so he is not that timid."
"Four days ago, we discovered a small underground palace in the desert about thirty miles north of here, and found a total of four valuable things."
"Small underground palace?"
I don't understand. Isn't the boss a quicksand tomb? The small underground palace with just four pieces of goods is a quicksand tomb?
The leader said: "The quicksand tomb that Ma Deming said is true, and we did kill people there. The quicksand tomb is very large, far larger than the Guozhuang Chu Tomb. Because of Alxa's unique wind and sand environment, it makes that
The thickness of the mound of earth covering the tomb has increased more than dozens of times, and it is buried very deep underground.”
"So... Boss, you mean you haven't succeeded in this quicksand tomb yet? Because you encountered difficulties, your group started to look for other targets, so you discovered a small underground palace four days ago, and
I succeeded. Is that what I said?"
I saw him nodding, and immediately asked in confusion: "Why did Ma Deming run if he didn't even touch it? What is he afraid of?"
"Could it be that...the black eats the black?"
The head nodded gloomily.
I took a breath, so to speak, the five or six people who died before...
"Three of them were murdered." After saying this, he looked over at Xiaoxuan.
"That's why I let you go. This time it's not a joke. One of the three people who died was from Jiuqingshui. I don't even know who killed him."
"I, Wang Xiansheng, did not dare to fight for the four things I found out from the underground palace. Yunfeng, you should know that returning to the customs is just superficial cooperation. Once those few things are found, chaos will definitely happen in the end."
After he finished speaking, he raised his head and let me touch his lower back.
When I touched it, I felt a hard lump with a handle.
gun.....
Dou Sprout's face also became serious. He frowned and said: "If this is the case, then we have to stay. I will protect you, and I will kill anyone who wants to harm you first! Who cares about the Jiuqingshui Flying Rat!"
"Haha..." A smile appeared on the head's face.
He put one hand on my shoulder and the other on Dou Sprout Zai's shoulder.
"I won't change my mind on this matter. Yunfeng, Yazai, you two together are less than forty years old. I, Wang Xiansheng, am over seventy years old. There is no harm in fighting. Besides, I have no chance of winning. These nine people
Two of them have secretly formed an alliance with me."
