The next day.
The sun had just risen, and the Western Car Market was already bustling with activity.
The steamed dumplings that had just come out of the oven were steaming hot. There were vegetable vendors who greeted them warmly, vendors who were selling date cakes, and passers-by who were riding two or eight poles shuttling through the crowd...
As far as the eye could see, it was filled with the atmosphere of the city. It was like a different world from the high-rise buildings and heavy traffic in Beijing a hundred years later.
Hu Bayi, who had just dreamed of the red spot curse, suddenly woke up. He got out of the van with a tired expression and frowned as he looked into the market.
"Old Jin, why did you spend so much time buying ginger?”
Hearing this, Fatty Wang, who was beside him, sipped the yogurt in his hand and shouted at Big Golden Tooth, who was arguing with the vegetable seller not far away.
"What's wrong, Master Jin? Did you buy the ginger? Why are you still quarreling?!”
Who knew that Big Golden Tooth didn't seem to hear him and continued to speak anxiously to the vegetable vendor.
"Hey, you're thinking of restocking after selling out your ginger. Who doesn't eat ginger when cooking?! Hurry up and stock up!"
Seeing this scene, Hu Bayi and Fatty Wang were also somewhat puzzled. They hurriedly pulled the somewhat anxious Big Golden Tooth over.
After asking, he found out that the ginger in the market had been sold out in advance, not to mention that they needed two to three hundred catties of ginger.
Hearing this, Hu Bayi was a little surprised and couldn't help but ask.
"Do you know who did it?"
"I've heard that not only the ginger from Xidan, Dongdan, Chaonei, and Chongwenmen were sent to an antique shop called Mute House.”
Big Golden Tooth said as he patted the folding fan in his hand, puzzled.
"The weirdest thing is that this Mute Antique Shop seems to be a newly opened shop in our Panjiayuan!”
Hearing this, Fatty Wang's eyes widened as he spoke.
"He's sincere. Isn't he going against us?”
As he spoke, he couldn't help but look at Big Golden Tooth and question him.
"I say, did you f * cking spill the beans about us buying ginger at Kunlun?”
Upon hearing this, Big Golden Tooth immediately disagreed.
"No, don't accuse me wrongly. I'm the kind of person who doesn't keep my mouth shut. It's not like we've been handing it over for a day or two!”
Hearing this, Hu Bayi's eyes revealed a thoughtful look. He felt that this was too much of a coincidence.
Although he would be able to buy the ginger in a few days, the red spot curse on his body in his dream was like a death talisman, making him anxious all day long.
Besides, they were both in Panjiayuan, so he had a feeling that the Mute Antique Shop's purpose was very likely the same as theirs.
Hu Bayi immediately made his decision.
"Let's go and see who is behind this Mute Antique Shop.”
…………
Panjiayuan.
In a short while, Fatty Hu Ba, Wang and Big Golden Tooth drove the van and stopped in front of the mute antique shop.
After getting out of the car and looking at the antique shop in front of him, Big Golden Tooth immediately slapped his fan and couldn't help but say.
"Hey, isn't this the antique shop that held a funeral? The shopkeeper seems to be a young man with the surname Su. Why did he call it such a strange name?!”
"That's true. Why do you think their family bought so much ginger for nothing?!”
As the three of them were talking, they heard a car horn beside them. A black crown car stopped right next to their van, which was particularly eye-catching.
The car door opened, and a man in a black suit, shiny, and shiny, with a big back hair and aviators, also walked into the antique shop.
He took off his sunglasses and greeted Hu Bayi.
"Hello, Mr. Hu, I'm Dong!”
This person was the lackey of the Xiangxi corpse-carrying man, Uncle Ming. The purpose of his visit was naturally to visit Su Chen, who had purchased ginger in advance.
Hearing this, Hu Bayi was stunned for a moment. He was sure that he had never seen the other party before and could not help but be curious about the other party's identity.
"And you are?"
At this time, Dong pointed at the inside of the Mute Antique Shop and explained.
"I am the same as you. I am here to find Manager Su for ginger.”
"After you're done, why don't you go see our boss? He's been wanting to visit you.”
……
Seeing this scene, the shop assistant in the mute shop saw that it was just as shopkeeper Su Chen had expected. Two groups of people came to the door and said according to the instructions.
"Please wait for a moment. This one is going to look for the shopkeeper.”
In a short while.
He heard steady and powerful footsteps coming downstairs.
Su Chen came to the front of the crowd in his red dragon robe. The black satin was as dark as the night, and the buttons on the lapels were as red as blood. The sleeve of his right hand was embroidered with a dark red dragon. The dragon's body curled up and spiraled up the sleeve.
The dragon's mouth was facing his collar. At first glance, it looked like it was alive, as if it was going to bite off his neck in the next moment.
This strange and lifelike embroidery made people feel that he had an indescribable mysterious temperament, but they couldn't help but feel a little awe.
Seeing this scene, both Fatty Hu Ba and Dong from Hong Kong felt an invisible pressure.
Especially when the other party's gaze was as sharp as a blade, it made them feel as if they had been seen through and there were no secrets to speak of.
More importantly, the other party seemed to have expected them to come and had already instructed the waiter in the shop.
At this moment.
Su Chen did not hide anything when he saw the legendary tomb raiding iron triangle.
After all, the acquisition of ginger was only to attract people from all walks of life. The next step was the main event.
He couldn't help but look at Hu Bayi, who was the backbone of the Iron Triangle.
"Brother Hu, I am Su Chen.”
"As the saying goes, a river has two shores.”
Upon hearing this, Fatty Wang, Big Golden Tooth, and Dong were all dumbfounded, not understanding the meaning behind his words.
Only Hu Bayi's expression changed slightly. He was shocked.
He knew very well that what Su Chen was talking about was the incision in the reverse combat industry, also known as the lip code, which was convenient for secret communication between peers.
The other party's words probably meant: They were all in the same trade, and all of them had skills passed down from their ancestors, so they had revealed their identities.
However, this was also in line with his previous guess.
This young man called Su Chen was also from the reverse combat industry, and it was very likely that he knew that they were about to head to Kunlun to search for the ruins of the Demon Nation.
Hu Bayi thought for a moment before cupping his hands and returning the greeting.
"Little Brother Su is too polite. You carry firewood on the mountain and light a fire at the foot of the mountain. You can light a candle and touch a golden lamp. May I ask Yuan Liang, where did you divide the mountain armor and how many gates did you dismantle?”
Seeing that the other party had a plan in mind, he decided to openly reveal his identity as a gold-looting officer and ask about the other party's identity and methods.
However, for some reason, he felt that the other party seemed to know their whereabouts very well.
Facing Hu Bayi's scrutiny, Su Chen was still calm and composed, his face expressionless.
"I haven't ascended the throne hall, and I have nowhere to find the Dragon Tower. We are both Yin soldiers at the end of the Han Dynasty.”
After saying that, he took out the treasured seal that belonged to Hairmound Heavenly Official.
Heavenly Official Blessing, No Taboos!
Su Chen was very clear that they did not know each other. At present, the only thing that could make the other party pay attention to him was probably this Hairmound Seal.
After all, Tianguan Qiu and the gold-looting lieutenant were once of the same lineage, and they had some connections.
In an instant.
The air was stifled.
Whether it was Hu Bayi, Fatty Wang, Big Golden Teeth, or Dong who had not spoken, all of them widened their eyes in shock.
They looked at the Hairmound Seal that had reappeared in front of them in disbelief!
In particular, Hu Bayi and Fatty Wang were wearing golden talismans on their chests. They were emitting a burning sensation, as if they had resonated with the Hairmound Seal for more than a thousand years!
