Luzhou.
Meng Mountain was located in the northwest of Linyi. It was a branch of the Taiyi Mountain Range. The ancient tomb that Third Uncle Wu Xie had discovered this time was in the depths of Meng Mountain.
Chen Cang packed his things and explained the situation to his father before taking the train to Linyi.
After getting off the train station, Chen Cang saw Wu Xie standing outside the train station with a backpack on his back. He was obviously waiting for him.
When Wu Xie saw Chen Cang come out, he immediately revealed a happy expression and kept waving at him.
"Chen Cang, here!"
Chen Cang walked over and said with a smile,"How long have you been here?"
"I came over early this morning. Let's go quickly. Third Uncle and the others are waiting for us!”
"Mm, okay. Lead the way."
Wu Xie drove a small car and brought Chen Cang to the depths of Meng Mountains.
In the car.
Chen Cang and Wu Xie chatted.
"Wu Xie, can you tell me more about this ancient tomb?”
"Uh, actually, I don't really know. This ancient tomb was discovered by my third uncle.”
Wu Xie chatted as he drove.
"My third uncle's name is Wu Sansheng. I was the closest to him when we were young, but ever since something happened, I feel that my third uncle has changed a little.”
"Changed? What do you mean?"
Chen Cang asked with interest.
"Sigh, actually, I can't explain it clearly. Third Uncle used to like a woman. I called her Aunt Chen.”
"But when I was young, Third Uncle and Auntie Chen went to a place, and Auntie Chen never came back. From then on, I felt that Third Uncle's personality had changed a little.”
Wu Xie sighed." It must be because Auntie Chen's disappearance was a huge blow to him.”
"A mysterious place?"
"Yes, where exactly? I don't know."
Chen Cang was deep in thought. It should be the Xisha seabed tomb.
"As for this ancient tomb, it was discovered by Third Uncle's people by chance. We found some bronze artifacts inside. There are some words recorded on the bronze artifacts. These words are exactly the same as the words on the silk book.”
" That's why I wanted to invite you over to explore this ancient tomb with us. Perhaps we can unravel the secrets on the silk scrolls of the Warring States Period…"
The two of them chatted for a while and soon arrived at a shallow beach surrounded by mountains.
A small river was flowing slowly.
There were a few figures on the riverbank.
"Chen Cang, look at those figures on the shore. They are my third uncle and the others.”Wu Xie pointed at the figure on the shore and said.
"Let's go and meet up with Third Uncle and the others.”
The two of them quickly walked to the shore.
Chen Cang soon saw Third Uncle Wu Xie and the others.
Third Uncle looked to be in his thirties and had a beard. He was dressed in grayish-black clothes and looked very ordinary.
However, Third Uncle's eyes seemed to be able to see through people's hearts. Clearly, he was an experienced person.
Behind Third Uncle, there were three other people.
One of them was a burly man holding a double-barreled shotgun.
There was also a muscular bald man.
Finally, there was a young man carrying a sword case on his back. He looked to be in his twenties and was dressed in black. He looked very silent and aloof.
Chen Cang understood in his heart that this should be that stuffy Zhang Qiling.
Suddenly, Muffled Oil Bottle seemed to have sensed something.
A pair of eyes that were like lightning stared fixedly at Chen Cang.
He seemed to have sensed the aura of his own kind?
Chen Cang's heart turned cold. He felt a threat.
This was an expert!
Chen Cang secretly became vigilant.
As expected of the legendary stuffy oil bottle. His martial strength was definitely at the top of the tomb raiding world.
"Little Third Master is back?" The burly man with the shotgun grinned.
"Yes, Pan Zi, is the boat not here yet?”
"This old man said that we still have to wait a little longer.”
Pan Zi pointed at an old man in front of him.
The old man was riding a cow. He was the guide that Third Uncle and the others had found.
"Third Uncle, this is the friend I told you about. His name is Chen Cang. He's very knowledgeable about ancient characters.”
Third Uncle carefully sized up Chen Cang and suddenly laughed.
"Little brother, welcome to join us.”
The bald man suddenly laughed.
"Little Third Master, are you joking?”
"Does he look twenty years old?”
"You even have research on ancient characters?"
"Has he finished university?"
"Da Kui!"
Third Uncle stopped him and turned to Chen Cang with a smile.""Little brother, don't take it to heart. Da Kui's personality was a little straightforward and he said whatever he wanted. In fact, he did not have any bad intentions.”
Chen Cang smiled." It's fine. I'm just here to learn from Wu Xie. I still have to rely on the big guy to enter the tomb.”
Third Uncle immediately laughed.
"Haha, little brother, since you're Wu Xie's friend, you can call me Third Uncle from now on.”
In fact, what Third Uncle was most afraid of was those people who were old in the sky and old in the earth. It was enough for them to know him clearly.
"Yes, Third Uncle."
Wu Xie also walked over.
"Chen Cang, let me introduce you.”
He pointed at the burly man with the hunting rifle." This is Pan Zi, my third uncle's right-hand man.”
"And the bald guy next to us, we call him Da Kui. Although he's a little straightforward, he's a very good person.”
" Don't underestimate them," Wu Xie said proudly." Pan Zi and Da Kui are both Rank-1 martial artists!”
"Right, you know about martial artists, right?"
Chen Cang was a little amused and said," I know. I didn't expect that the two big brothers were actually legendary martial artists. Then I'll still have to rely on the two big brothers to protect me in the future."”
Pan Zi smiled but didn't say anything.
Da Kui said happily," Haha, kid, don't worry. You're Little Third Master's friend. I'll take care of you in the future!"”
Obviously, the two of them had praised him.
Da Kui felt very pleased.
At this time, Chen Cang pointed at the stuffy oil bottle and said,"Wu Xie, who is this little brother?”
Wu Xie also looked at the stuffy oil bottle curiously.
He shook his head." I don't know either.”
At this time, Third Uncle walked over and said," This little brother was recommended to me by my friend. He's very experienced in going to the tomb. I only know that his surname is Zhang. I've tested him many times along the way. He's either sleeping or in a daze. I don't know his background either.”
Da Kui, who was standing at the side, was clearly getting impatient.
"That old man, why hasn't the boat you mentioned come yet?”
The old man riding the green bull did not speak. He was smoking a pipe when a dog suddenly appeared in the river and rushed over with water.
"Old man, are we going to ride this dog for the next journey?" Da Kui laughed.”
The old man smiled." This dog is here to deliver a message. If you want to cross the river, there's only one boat around here.”
The old man got off the cow's back and called the dog affectionately,""Donkey Egg, come here!"
When the dog heard the old man's words, it rushed to the shore and shook its fur. Then, it lay beside the old man and stuck out its tongue.
"Hey, old man, didn't you say that this dog sent a message? Why isn't that ship coming over yet?" Pan Zi asked the old man.
"He's the only boatman in the entire village. He can come whenever he wants, and no one can do anything to him.”the old man said helplessly.
"Why is he the only one on the boat?" asked Third Uncle curiously.”
"Ha, you outsiders don't even know.”
The old man chuckled." There's a cave in front of the river. People can be eaten in the cave. The Mountain God will only give him face in this area. If anyone else enters the cave, they will definitely not be able to come out."”
"What is it? The cave eats people?"
Third Uncle, Wu Xie, and the others were shocked.
"Hehe, this is all hearsay. As for whether it's true or not, we don't know.”the old man explained.
Third Uncle's eyes flickered. Cannibalism in a cave?
Could it be related to the ancient tomb?
Da Kui felt a little bored. He thought for a moment and clapped his hands."Donkey Egg, come here!"
The dog was really obedient and ran over.
Da Kui picked it up and smelled it. His expression changed immediately.
He quickly placed Donkey Eggy on the ground.
Da Kui walked to Third Uncle's side, pulled him to the side, and whispered into his ear.
"Third Master, that dog smells like a corpse.”
"Corpse stench?" Third Uncle's expression changed slightly." Are you sure?”
"Yes!"
" When I was a miner, the mine cave collapsed and many people died," Da Kui said with certainty." I still can't forget the smell of the dead."”
Third Uncle also took a closer sniff and found that there was indeed a very strange stench on the dog.
At this moment, Wu Xie wanted to squat down and tease Donkey Eggy.
"Mmm, it's so smelly. How long has it been since this dog last bathed? The smell of urine on its body is too strong.”
Wu Xie immediately walked away from Donkey Eggy.
The old man's expression changed slightly and he chuckled.""Donkey Eggy is used to being wild and running around everywhere. He has a foul smell on him and definitely can't compare to you city people.”
The old man whistled, and the dog jumped into the river and ran back.
"Hehe, I'll get Donkey Eggy to go back and urge him.”
Chen Cang was deep in thought. He had smelled that stench long ago. It was definitely not a foul smell.
It seemed that there was something wrong with this old man and the boatman!
Third Uncle gathered everyone to discuss.
"That dog smelled like a corpse.”
Wu Xie was shocked and his hair stood on end.
"Ah, it can't be?"
Third Uncle said seriously," It can't be wrong. Everyone, be careful. I think that cave is a corpse cave. There might be some unclean things inside. Pan Zi and Da Kui will bring them in later."”
"Wu Xie, Little Brother Zhang, and Little Brother, the three of you should be careful. There's something wrong with this old man.”
"Yes, Third Uncle, I understand."
Wu Xie and Chen Cang nodded.
As for the stuffy oil bottle, she remained cold and silent.
However, everyone was already used to it.
He didn't say anything.
Third Uncle, Pan Zi, and Dakui had been in the martial world for a long time. They were very experienced in the martial world.
They were carrying heavy backpacks filled with tools such as archaeological shovels, foldable shovels, ropes, bandages, and so on.
After a while.
Not far away, a small boat sailed over.
"He's here."
The old man smoked his pipe and pointed at the boat.
When the boat approached, a middle-aged man stood at the bow of the boat. He was wearing clothes made of coarse linen and had an extremely ordinary appearance. He would not be recognized in a crowd.
The middle-aged boatman shouted.
He stopped the boat on the shore and called everyone to board.
Third Uncle put all his luggage into the boat and negotiated the price. He sat on the side of the boat and watched the middle-aged boatman hold the boat.
The small boat slowly moved and sailed towards the depths of the mountain...
