Chapter 6: An unexpected discovery: Tomb of the Empress Dowager of Liao
The girl nodded happily: "It's me."
Hu Bayi also laughed heartily: "Is it really you? I haven't seen you for seven or eight years. You have grown so tall? You are a big girl now, right?"
The girl blushed and lowered her head.
"Oh, by the way, let me introduce you to it."
Hu Bayi let Fatty Wang and Xu Feng move aside.
"This is Fatty Wang. He's my childhood friend. You can just call him Fatty."
The girl looked at him for a few times and called out, "Fat Brother."
"He is Xu Feng, a good brother I met recently. You can call him Brother Xu."
The girl also looked at Xu Feng a few times.
Suddenly he said, "Look at your delicate skin and tender flesh, maybe you are not even older than me, why should I call you brother?"
Xu Feng was stunned.
Hu Bayi stepped forward quickly and said, "Yingzi, don't talk nonsense. He is handsome, but he is indeed older than you. Oh, by the way, Master Xu, I really don't know how old you are?"
Xu Feng didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Twenty-three."
Hu Bayi immediately spread his hands to the girl: "Look, she's already 23 years old."
The girl then reluctantly called out "Brother Xu".
Hu Bayi introduced the girl again: "Her name is Yingzi. She was a little sister I adopted back then. I didn't expect that she has grown up so big in the blink of an eye."
Fatty Wang joked, "Old Hu, I didn't expect that someone as rough as you can have such a pretty sister."
Hu Bayi laughed and cursed: "Get lost!"
Talk nonsense for a while.
Hu Bayi asked, "Yingzi, where is your father?"
Yingzi: "My father is still in the mountains. He probably won't be back until tomorrow."
"I have also been going into the mountains these past two days, otherwise I would have definitely come down to see you."
"Brother Bayi, what do you want from my father?"
Hu Bayi: "Hi, we want to go into the mountains and find a guide."
Yingzi immediately volunteered: "Guide? I can be one."
Fatty Wang laughed and said, "Yingzi, can you do it? The place we are going to is quite dangerous. We may have to spend the night in the mountains. Don't be scared and cry, little girl."
Yingzi looked at him unconvinced, turned around, walked to the wall, and took a longbow from the wall.
Then he bent his bow and drew his arrow.
Aiming at Fatty Wang.
Fatty Wang's hair stood on end instantly.
"Oh my God!"
He subconsciously squatted and rolled.
When he looked up from his prone position on the ground in a somewhat embarrassed manner, he discovered that Yingzi's arrow had not been shot at all.
Just trying to scare him.
Xu Feng and Hu Bayi both laughed out loud.
Fatty Wang got up with a dusty face and laughed awkwardly: "Yingzi, how can you joke like that?"
Yingzi also snorted proudly.
After discussion, the three finally agreed to let Yingzi join as a guide.
Before departure.
Xu Feng pointed at the axe and asked, "Yingzi, the shape of this axe is quite strange. It looks like a weapon, not an axe for chopping wood."
Yingzi took a look and said, "I don't know either. My father picked up that axe in the mountains. The handle was broken at the time, so my father made a new one and put it on. It's quite sharp and very handy for chopping wood."
Xu Feng said casually: "I think it's a pity to use it to chop wood. It just so happens that your fat brother doesn't have a suitable weapon. Why don't you give it to your fat brother for self-defense."
"Sure, it's just an axe!"
Yingzi is very generous.
Xu Feng said to Fatty Wang, "Brother Fatty, Yingzi gave you such a good weapon, you must thank her."
Fatty Wang was reluctant at first, as axes and the like were not his style.
But Xu Feng came close to him and said, "This axe is a real magic weapon, priceless."
Fatty Wang's eyes lit up instantly.
"Well, forget it, now that you've said that, it wouldn't be nice for me to refuse."
"The axe is the axe."
……
"Brother Hu, are you also here to look for the tomb of the Empress Dowager of the Liao Dynasty?"
Yingzi asked in surprise, carrying a hunting rifle on her back.
Along the way, listening to the conversation between the three people, especially Fatty Wang, who was a big mouth and could say anything, Yingzi quickly understood the purpose of their visit.
Hu Bayi felt a little embarrassed.
I don’t know how to answer.
Instead, Xu Feng grasped the key point in her words and asked, "Are there any other people looking for the tomb of the Empress Dowager of Liao?"
Yingzi nodded: "Yes."
"The rumor about the tomb of the Empress Dowager of Liao has been circulating here for hundreds of years. Almost every year, people come to look for it, including government officials. Archaeological teams have also been sent to look for it, but none of them have found it."
"Half a month ago, a group of people, carrying a lot of equipment, also came to look for the tomb of the Empress Dowager of Liao."
“It was my father who took them into the mountains.”
Xu Feng frowned: "Where are those people? Did they find the Queen Mother's tomb? Or did they leave?" Yingzi shook her head: "I don't know. After my father took them to a valley, they asked my father to come back."
Xu Feng, Hu Bayi and Fatty Wang looked at each other.
His face looked somewhat solemn.
"Are there only three of you looking for the Queen Mother's tomb?"
Yingzi asked curiously again.
"I see that others come to look for graves in groups of many people."
Xu Feng smiled and said, "Quality is more important than quantity."
"Although there are only three of us, we are all elites, which is enough."
……
Trekking through mountains and rivers all the way.
It took a whole day to walk.
Finally, they arrived at a mountain waterfall.
The whole mountain looks like a cow's heart, with nine white waterfalls rushing down the mountain, which is very spectacular.
Xu Feng and Fatty Wang were both stunned.
Hu Bayi was delighted: "Yes, this is it. This is the Nine Dragons Jade Lotus."
"Look, these nine waterfalls on the mountain, if there is one more or one less, or if there is not such a large flow of water, it cannot reach the pattern of Nine Dragons Covering Jade Lotus."
"Nine is the largest single-digit number and has the connotation of supremacy."
"Also, if the water flow of the waterfall is small, it's not a dragon, it's a snake."
"This feng shui pattern is extremely rare. There must be a large tomb here."
Fatty Wang said in ecstasy: "We found the tomb of the Empress Dowager of Liao?!"
Hu Bayi shook his head: "Not yet, we just confirmed that there is a tomb here."
"The next step is to determine the location of the tomb by dividing the gold. We need to find the location of the tomb by looking at the positions of the stars in the sky and the ups and downs of the mountains and rivers on the ground."
He looked at the compass in his hand, and suddenly pointed to a valley not far away and said, "Yingzi, what is that place?"
Yingzi frowned slightly and said, "It's called Lamagou. Legend has it that there are wild men in it and it's haunted at night."
Fatty Wang is a naturally fearless and reckless person.
After hearing what Yingzi said, he kept shaking his head: "There are no ghosts in the world, they are all tricks played by people, Yingzi, you have to believe in science!"
Instead, Xu Feng frowned slightly.
He knew best that there really were ghosts, gods and evil beings in the world.
Especially in those thousand-year-old tombs, zombies, ghosts, monsters, and strange insects appear in endlessly.
The only thing that puzzled him now was.
How did they find the tomb of the Empress Dowager of Liao? !
In the original work.
Hu Bayi and Wang Pangzi were indeed heading for the tomb of the Empress Dowager of Liao.
But after arriving here, we found out that an earthquake had cracked Niuxin Mountain.
Then the villagers discovered a large tomb like a palace in the belly of the mountain, which contained all kinds of rare treasures. The villagers carried away a lot of good things, which later alarmed the government. Not only did they send an archaeological team, but they also took away all the good things the villagers had moved away.
In the end, Hu Bayi and Wang Pangzi had to run to Yerengou to look for the Kwantung Army fortress.
Then, we found the tomb of the Jin Dynasty general.
This plot...why is it so confusing?
"Were we really going to find the tomb of the Empress Dowager of the Liao Dynasty?!"
"what to do?!"
"My target is the tomb of the Jin general!"
"I'm a novice, and I wanted to challenge the easy mode, but why did I get the hell mode?!"
"Could this be the protagonist's halo?!"
Xu Feng had a headache.
……
The waterfall on the top of the mountain falls down the mountain and forms a lake, which then splits into several streams and flows in several directions.
Several people walked to the lake.
A puff of water vapor blew in my face.
Xu Feng observed the lake carefully, and some text information flashed before his eyes.
"Ok?"
Xu Feng immediately shifted his gaze back to the water he had just been looking at.
It's close to the lake.
The lake water is very clear.
You can clearly see that it is a slope made up of several stones. Deep in the slope, it is pitch black and you can't see the bottom.
A green grass grows between the gravel on the slope.
And what's amazing is that.
There are many aquatic plants growing on the slope, densely packed and very lush.
But only around that green grass, within a radius of one meter, there was no grass at all.
The grass grew very well and produced several green fruits the size of soybeans.
Maybe because of the floating water surface, he couldn't see clearly. The text information was blurry and kept flashing.
Xu Feng was suddenly surprised.
What kind of plant could actually contain information on treasure identification?
