Xia Xiaoyu looked at the strange looks of this group of people and was very confused.
This is not a look of hostility, hatred or anger, but a look full of excitement.
Xia Xiaoyu couldn't understand why they looked at him like this when he clearly didn't know these people.
"I've met my benefactor!"
Including the old man, everyone in the group saluted Xia Xiaoyu.
"What?"
Xia Xiaoyu was immediately dumbfounded, his face full of doubts.
He had no idea what was going on and why these people called him benefactor. He didn't remember that he had saved these people before, so how could he be called a benefactor?
"I don't care if you don't remember us, but the person who saved us is your master!"
The old man looked at Xia Xiaoyu and said.
"My master?" Xia Xiaoyu was startled.
Could it be that these people in front of me are people who have been saved by Master?
"Can you tell me what's going on?" Xia Xiaoyu looked at the old man and asked.
What happened tonight really shocked him.
There are so many people living in the tunnels of Miaojia Village. From the looks of them, they must have not left here for a long time.
He felt that there must be a very secret story here, which was probably related to his master and the imperial mausoleum at that time.
The old man looked at Xia Xiaoyu and introduced himself: "My name is Yuan Yi. We are all mausoleum protectors, and we were all saved by your master!"
Then the old man introduced the names of this group of people to Xia Xiaoyu.
These people are special personnel recruited by the country. They were sent here twenty years ago to silently guard this imperial mausoleum.
This is their mission.
However, more than ten years ago, for some unknown reason, all of them were infected with a serious disease, and all of them were facing death.
At that time, Xia Xiaoyu's master Chen Yunhe came to Miaojia Village and cured them. This group of people have always been grateful to Chen Yunhe.
Although they cannot leave here, they still know very well about the outside world, especially about Chen Yunhe.
Including Chen Yunhe’s only disciple, Xia Xiaoyu.
In fact, since Xia Xiaoyu stepped into Miaojia Village, Yuan Yi and others had already received the news.
Naturally, they also understood Xia Xiaoyu's purpose of coming here.
In the past twenty years, they have dealt with too many people who came secretly to steal the imperial mausoleum, including tonight.
The emergence of Changsun Junde and Ouyang Hong was also under their control, but they did not act rashly.
But they didn't expect that Xia Xiaoyu would go up the mountain late at night and kill Changsun Junde's giant snake.
At the same time, they also discovered that a group of killers were coming.
In the end Yuan Yi decided to go and rescue Xia Xiaoyu.
"You mean to say that as early as twenty years ago, the country secretly protected this place?"
Xia Xiaoyu was shocked when he heard this.
He originally thought that this place was just an imperial mausoleum, and that these so-called tomb keepers were the same as Miao Qin and others, but he did not expect that the country would be involved.
"Yes, this imperial mausoleum is very important!"
Yuan Yi smiled bitterly and explained: "To be honest, we only know what we want to protect, but only your master knows where the emperor's mausoleum is, including those in Miaojia Village.
The tombkeepers, they don’t know where the emperor’s mausoleum is!”
"They don't know either?"
Xia Xiaoyu frowned and couldn't help being stunned.
If Miao Qin doesn't know, then what are they guarding?
And what kind of imperial mausoleum is worthy of the country sending such a group of people to spend such a long time to protect it?
No, how does master know where the imperial mausoleum is?
Since he knew, why didn't he say it?
Xia Xiaoyu was very puzzled.
"Yes, they don't know. The only one who knows now is your master."
Yuan Yi said, "There is also a map. If I guessed correctly, you should have gotten that map, but it is useless. If you have a map, you must have a way to get in."
"You mean, my master has been there before?" Xia Xiaoyu's eyes widened in shock, and words could not describe the shock in his heart.
Yuan Yi nodded, "Yes, and it is said that the reason why we were sent here was proposed by him and the Dragon Guard. Logically speaking, we can also be considered a member of the Dragon Guard."
Xia Xiaoyu was shocked again. Although he knew about the Dragon Guard and was the leader of the Dragon Guard, he didn't know that such a person existed in the Dragon Guard.
"Something bad is going to happen!"
Suddenly, a man ran in in panic and shouted loudly: "Miaojia Village has been flooded by mudslides!"
Miaojia Village was flooded by mudslides?
When Xia Xiaoyu heard this, his expression changed drastically. He rushed to the person in an instant, grabbed the person, and asked loudly: "Is everything flooded? Have the people inside run out?"
Qin Zimo, Qin Ziyi, and the Xia family's bodyguards are all in the village. If the Miao family village is flooded, wouldn't they be in danger?
The man looked at Xia Xiaoyu doubtfully, feeling that Xia Xiaoyu was unfamiliar, but still answered truthfully, "It's almost completely flooded!"
Then, he told the horror story he saw.
This mudslide was like a huge tsunami, swallowing up the small Miaojia Village in just a moment.
"How could this happen? Zimo and the others..."
Xia Xiaoyu's frown deepened, his whole body was trembling, and his hands were shaking.
In the cave, Yuan Yi and others looked at Xia Xiaoyu with deep sympathy in their eyes.
Although they live in the mountains, in order to protect the imperial mausoleum, they are very familiar with the situation in Miaojia Village. Once a stranger arrives, they will investigate it immediately.
How many people came with Xia Xiaoyu, they naturally knew very well that if there were no accidents, Xia Xiaoyu's family would have been submerged by the mudslide at this time, and the situation would be more serious than bad.
Xia Xiaoyu's face was full of pain, and he looked at Yuan Yi anxiously: "Mr. Yuan, take me out!"
Miao Qin and others were keeping vigil at the Miao family ancestral hall. If a mudslide occurred, they should know about it and might notify Qin Zimo and others.
And based on the vigilance of Xia Tian and the others, it would definitely happen to them, and they might have evacuated to a safe location before the mudslide came.
There is still a glimmer of hope in Xia Xiaoyu's heart. He wants to go back as soon as possible. Even if Qin Zimo and others are buried, it may still be too late for him to go back and save them now!
"Okay, then I will arrange for someone to take you out!"
Yuan Yi looked at Xia Xiaoyu in his heart, and then arranged for someone to take Xia Xiaoyu away.
About five minutes later, the two came to an exit.
"This is the top of the mountain, Mr. Xia, do you need help?"
The person arranged by Yuan Yi opened the exit and asked softly.
They have rules. In order to ensure their whereabouts are concealed, they will only take action when someone threatens the imperial mausoleum.
