Gu Guan quickly forgot about the previous episode. The few of them chatted and laughed as they followed Second Uncle's convoy to Pingxia Beach.
After a few hours of driving.
The convoy finally arrived at the location of the ancient tomb.
Pingxia Beach was located along the coast of Min Province. It had the largest beach area in the country.
The tidal flat they were currently in was one of them.
Everyone got out of the car and set up camp on the soft sand in the salty sea breeze.
Very quickly.
The camp was completed.
Fatty and the little brother ran to help with the equipment and prepare for some work before the tomb.
Guguan and Wuxie were chatting by the beach.
Soon, the two of them heard Mu Xuehai's trembling voice," You can't go down, no…you can't go down! They died here."
Gu Guan raised his eyebrows." Let's go take a look."
Wu Xie was also curious about this crazy Mu Xuehai, so he nodded and the two of them walked towards Mu Xuehai and Second Uncle.
"Second Uncle, he looks very afraid.”Wu Xie asked about his second uncle.
Second Uncle said," The more afraid he is, the more it means that we have found the right place.”
After Second Uncle finished speaking, the three of them looked at Mu Xuehai at the same time.
Mu Xuehai, who was standing by the beach, was facing the sea. He looked flustered and extremely afraid. He pointed into the distance and said," The Emperor…The Emperor made paper figurines with sesame seeds as eyes. The paper figurines can't be seen when the sesame seeds are fried!”
He paused for a moment and became extremely excited. He broke down and shouted," Mute Emperor! The mute emperor is down there!"
Wu Xie was curious." Second Uncle, what is he talking about?”
Second Uncle answered," The mute emperor, he started to say this when he was near the beach. It's probably related to him going crazy.”
Second Uncle waved at Er Jin, who was supporting Mu Xuehai, and Er Jin pulled Mu Xuehai back to the camp.
Second Uncle looked away and pointed his finger at the sea." Legend has it that Pingxia used to be called Haitan Island. A mute lived on the island. He liked to make paper soldiers and paper horses and treated them as his own army, so the people on the island called him the mute emperor.”
" The Mute Emperor's wife died of dystocia, leaving behind a very beautiful daughter. The two of them depended on each other for survival. Unfortunately, good times didn't last long. At that time, the Emperor fancied the Mute Emperor's daughter, so he sent troops to snatch her away. The Mute Emperor had no choice but to sit by the sea and wash his face in tears.”
When he said this, Second Uncle's tone was obviously much more serious. Gu Guan and Wu Xie knew that this was the main point.
Second Uncle continued," One day, when the mute emperor was crying by the sea, dark clouds covered the sky and thunder rumbled! An immortal floated over from the sea. He saw that the mute emperor was pitiful, so he gave the mute three pieces of paper. He asked the mute to cut out the house on the first piece of paper, the granary on the second piece of paper, and the clothes on the third piece of paper. After the three pieces of paper were cut out, the mute would be able to live a carefree life.”
Wuxie said," Isn't that good?”
Second Uncle smiled." But the mute emperor didn't think so. He resented the emperor for stealing his daughter. So, he cut a mountain out of the first piece of paper to block the wind and waves on the sea. He cut out a big bow, divine arrows, and horses to deal with the emperor. However, he was clumsy, so he didn't know how to cut the eyes of the soldiers and horses. He took the sesame seeds in sister-in-law's pot to use as eyes. The third piece of paper cut out a dustpan, a mortar, and a hammer for sister-in-law to use.”
Gu Guan raised his eyebrows." This mute is quite bold."”
Second Uncle nodded and continued to narrate the last part of the story." Mute picked up a big bow and divine arrows and shot them towards the Emperor's throne room, but coincidentally, the Emperor did not attend morning court that day, so he escaped this disaster. The Emperor was furious and sent troops to look for Mute. Mute threw out a paper army of thousands of soldiers and horses, but because sister-in-law's sesame seeds had been fried, all the soldiers and horses were blind. The Mute Emperor was defeated, and he folded a paper boat and disappeared on the sea with sister-in-law. This Mute Emperor was also known as the King of the South Sea.”
As soon as he finished speaking.
Fatty and the little brother walked over. Fatty said happily," Second Uncle, what's up? Why did he bring his sister-in-law along? Are you telling dirty jokes again?"
Second Uncle showed a disgusted expression." Go, go, go. Don't make things difficult for me."”
Everyone laughed.
After the banter, Second Uncle said," So far, we haven't found the exact location of King Nan Hai's underground palace. However, we've found the right beach. Now, we're just missing a precise location.”
Fatty frowned when he heard that." Then how long will it take us to find it? Do we have to dig with our hands? How long will that take?"
Second Uncle said," Don't worry. I've already invited an expert. Once he's here, we can find the location of the underground palace.”
Fatty was surprised." There's such an expert? Who is it, Second Uncle? Tell me.”
Second Uncle was already prepared. He took out a file. Fatty took it and exclaimed," Liu Sang, this grandson!？”
Wu Xie was puzzled." You know him?”
Fatty said," Yes, I do. When I was playing cards in Panjiayuan, this grandson picked a fight with me. I could recognize him even if he turned into ashes. This grandson knows how to explore tombs. He uses an ancient method called listening to thunder to explore tombs!”
