"You are poisoned because of some gas you inhaled?"

Xiao Yi judged.

Zhuang Qianlong was stunned and admired Xiao Yi even more.

"Yes."

Zhuang Qianlong nodded, a hint of fear flashing across his face.

"It was a miasma, a miasma I had never seen or heard of before..."

"miasma?"

Shen Wei was a little confused.

"Well, speaking of it, in more than 30 years of tomb raiding, this is the first time I made a mistake and nearly lost my life. If I didn't have some experience, I would have never returned."

"Why, did you see a ghost?"

Shen Wei asked hurriedly.

"..."

Xiao Yi rolled his eyes. This guy was obviously afraid of ghosts, yet he wanted to see a ghost.

"I thought we had entered the inner tomb, but it was actually a tomb within a tomb."

Zhuang Qianlong shook his head and continued.

"us?"

Xiao Yi frowned.

"Yes, I found two helpers. I knew that this time the danger would be much greater than before, but..."

Zhuang Qianlong was a little dazed.

"One of them disappeared in the tomb, and the other died in the colorless and odorless miasma. I... I didn't even have time to drag the body out... After being infected, I fled with my last bit of will."

"It seems that this tomb is somewhat unusual."

Xiao Yi said slowly.

"It's very unusual! In fact, from all the previous clues, the tomb is indeed very large, but at most it is the tomb of a prince or noble from a few hundred years ago. I didn't expect the situation this time to be so complicated and hard to figure out..."

Zhuang Qianlong told Xiao Yi and the others everything that had happened before and after.

Even though he didn't enter the core, Shen Wei's face was full of excitement. This was not like reading a novel, but came from the mouth of a real tomb raider.

"What? You sealed the passage?"

Shen Wei frowned.

"Well, it's not just for my own escape, but more to avoid being noticed by other tomb raiders."

Zhuang Qianlong responded.

"In such a confused state, you were able to retain your sanity and escape unscathed. You are truly an amazing person."

Xiao Yi sighed.

"If he was really a great man, he wouldn't have returned empty-handed and even lost the lives of his two brothers."

Zhuang Qianlong felt a little lonely.

"Can the passage be reopened?"

Shen Wei continued.

"It's very difficult, but I had a second plan at the time, which was a second path, but by comparison, it was not as safe as the one I chose before."

Zhuang Qianlong said.

“Well, that’s called professionalism.”

There was no disappointment on Shen Wei's face.

"It seems that Mr. Shen is very interested."

Xiao Yi spoke.

"Brother Yi, don't you think there must be some priceless treasure in here? Otherwise, why can't even Lao Zhuang enter?"

"Yeah, he can't even get in, so why should you?"

"I……"

Shen Wei was speechless.

"With my current health, I'm afraid it's hard for me to endure any more torture. For the first time in more than 40 years, I know what 'fear' means."

Zhuang Qianlong spoke again.

"That place gives me the feeling that it is definitely not an ordinary royal mausoleum. It could be an imperial mausoleum! Or even more complicated!"

"The Emperor's Tomb? Damn it, how can you find the Emperor's Tomb?"

Shen Wei was a little bit unconvinced.

"Over the thousands of years of Chinese history, there have been more than a few dozen emperors."

Xiao Yi reminded.

Hearing this, Shen Wei was also stunned, and felt even more eager to try. Of course, he was not doing it for money, it was purely for fun and the desire to explore the unknown.

"Lao Zhuang, just take care of yourself. I will help you with the next thing."

Shen Wei said excitedly.

"I say, Lao Zhuang, your conditions shouldn't be like this, right?"

Xiao Yi took another look at the apartment. It wasn't very big.

"Young Master Xiao, you don't know that in our line of work, we have to keep our heads on the line. We might die any day, so we usually don't buy anything or save money. Besides, many of the clues I mentioned require a lot of money to find."

Zhuang Qianlong explained.

The two nodded and understood.

"How about this, I have a few unused villas, you can pick one to live in. Given your current situation, you need someone to take care of you."

Shen Weidao.

"Mr. Shen, this..."

Zhuang Qianlong wanted to refuse.

"Don't let his kindness down. Besides, he has his own purpose, right?"

Xiao Yi raised his eyebrows and looked at Shen Wei.

"Mr. Shen, even if I go back one day, you...I..."

Zhuang Qianlong didn't know what to say.

"I am responsible for my own safety. It has nothing to do with you. Besides, I am also practicing ancient martial arts now. I am not weak."

Shen Wei certainly understood Zhuang Qianlong's concerns.

"hehe."

Xiao Yi suddenly laughed.

"Brother Yi, I'm not as contemptuous of others as you are."

Shen Wei rolled his eyes.

That is, he has no temper towards Xiao Yi. If it were someone else, he would have turned the table over long ago.

"You are still a newborn... A calf is not afraid of a tiger. You are a real tiger. I understand that you want to gain experience, but didn't you choose the wrong place? What if there really are some powerful ghosts?"

Xiao Yi attacked.

"Ghost...ghost? I'll leave it to you, Brother Yi."

Shen Wei smiled.

"If it's a beautiful female ghost, I'll take responsibility..."

"Who told you I was going?"

Xiao Yi pondered it and felt a little itchy in his heart. What he was interested in was whether there was really any rare treasure in it.

What if there is some magical artifact?

Even if it is not among the top ten divine weapons, are there other divine and spiritual weapons?

"Looking at your expression, I'd never believe that you don't have any ideas."

Shen Wei smiled.

"Ha ha……"

Xiao Yi laughed.

The three chatted for a while, and Zhuang Qianlong thanked Xiao Yi and the others again, while Shen Wei arranged proper accommodation for him.

Xiao Yi returned to the company and picked up Su Yan after get off work.

On the way, the cell phone rang.

"Father-in-law."

Xiao Yi answered the phone.

"Is Xiaoyan with you?"

Su Mingyu asked.

"Yes."

Xiao Yi glanced at Su Yan from the corner of his eye, and the latter obviously noticed something as well.

"Father-in-law, just speak frankly. I won't hide anything from Xiaoyan."

Xiao Yi's tone was firm.

Su Mingyu’s inner thoughts: Do you believe what you said?

Su Yan’s inner thoughts: Don’t you feel embarrassed when you say this?

"Ahem...are there any clues?"

Xiao Yi coughed dryly and asked.

"Port City!"

Su Mingyu said directly.

"Where? Hong Kong?"

Xiao Yi was startled.

"What's your reaction?"

"I'm going to Hong Kong City tomorrow. What's your reaction? What's going on?"

“An alien species has appeared over there, but there aren’t many clues, so we can’t be sure that the headquarters of the Taiping Society in China must be in Hong Kong City.

However, it must be said that due to its special nature, the flow of people in Hong Kong is indeed somewhat different from that in the mainland, and it is also a fertile ground for certain external dark forces.

I guess Mr. Gu will call you to see if he has anything..."

Su Mingyu said slowly.

"Gangcheng...If the domestic headquarters really exists in a metropolis like Gangcheng, it would be a bit troublesome."

Xiao Yi frowned, not because he had no confidence in solving the problem, but because he was worried that it would cause casualties and impact on a larger scale.

"Well, besides that, I'm a little worried that they will secretly collude with some external forces. Then you will have to face more than just the Taiping Society, especially since you are in the open."

Su Mingyu said seriously.

"It doesn't matter if I'm in the light, but aren't you still in the dark?"

Xiao Yi smiled playfully.
