Siheyuan: Tathagata's Palm suppresses the entire courtyard!

She walked to the window, looking at the courtyard in the rain, her mind racing. She knew her father's words made sense, but she also didn't want to hide anything from Niu Tinggui, who had always trusted and supported her.

The next morning, Jia Xiaoying and Niu Tinggui were handling business as usual in the company. Niu Tinggui noticed that Jia Xiaoying was a little absent-minded and asked with concern: "Xiaoying, did you not get enough rest last night? You look a little tired."

Jia Xiaoying forced a smile: "Nothing, just thinking about something."

Niu Tinggui nodded: "If there is anything I can help you with, just let me know. We are a team and we will face all challenges together."

Jia Xiaoying felt warm in her heart and nodded: "Thank you, Brother Tinggui. I will remember it."

Covert Operations

Enter the cave

After several hours of arduous journey, Xu Xiaofeng and Yang Shumao finally arrived at the location marked on the map. It was a hidden cave, the entrance of which was covered by dense vegetation and was difficult to be found.

"It's here." Yang Shumao said, pushing aside the vegetation and leading everyone into the cave.

The light in the cave was dim, and the air was filled with dampness. Everyone walked forward carefully with flashlights. The road in the cave was narrow and winding, and the ground was slippery. Everyone walked forward cautiously step by step.

Unexpected discovery

After walking for a while, Xu Xiaofeng suddenly found a ray of light in front of her. She was delighted and quickened her pace. When she got closer, she found that the light came from a small room. There was an old wooden box in the room, which was covered with a thick layer of dust.

"There may be important clues hidden here." Yang Shumao said, motioning everyone to stop.

Xu Xiaofeng carefully opened the wooden box and found it was filled with various ancient items, including some ancient books and a parchment map.

"This is the second map grandpa mentioned!" Xu Xiaofeng said excitedly.

Rescue Operation

Yang Shumao carefully examined the map and found that it marked a more secret location, which might be the final hiding place of the family heritage.

"We must go to this location as soon as possible. The people from 'Black Rose' may have known our whereabouts." Yang Shumao said.

Xu Xiaofeng nodded: "Yes, Uncle Yang, we can't delay any longer."

Several people quickly packed up their things and continued to move forward according to the instructions on the map. The road in the cave became more and more complicated, but everyone still maintained a firm belief and moved forward step by step.

The final test

After a long and arduous journey, Xu Xiaofeng and Yang Shumao finally arrived at the final location marked on the map. This is a hidden underground cave with an ancient stone door in the cave, which is engraved with mysterious runes.

"This is where the family heritage is hidden." Yang Shumao said, carefully studying the runes on the stone door.

Xu Xiaofeng walked forward and found a complicated mechanism on the stone door. She turned the mechanism gently according to her grandfather's instruction, and the stone door made a low roar and slowly opened.

Family legacy

Behind the stone door is a spacious basement with many treasure chests and antiques. Xu Xiaofeng and Yang Shumao walked into the basement and found that one of the treasure chests was engraved with the Xu family crest.

"This is it." Xu Xiaofeng said excitedly. He opened the treasure chest and found it was full of gold, silver, jewelry and some ancient documents.

Back to the company

As dawn gradually broke, Yang Shumao and Xie Zhiqiang returned to the company exhausted. People began to appear on the street, and the morning light shone through the glass windows into the office, bringing a hint of early morning coolness. Xu Xiaofeng followed them with tired steps, her eyes full of worry and anxiety.

Discussion in the office

Back in the office, Yang Shumao and Xie Zhiqiang spread out the map and a lot of scattered information on the table and began a detailed analysis.

Yang Shumao frowned and pointed at the map and said, "Based on the clues we have so far, this map seems to be hiding more information. Lao Xu must have discovered some important secret."

Xie Zhiqiang nodded: "We have to find more clues to completely solve this mystery."

Xu Xiaofeng sat aside, exhausted, but still trying to stay awake: "We must find grandpa as soon as possible, otherwise I'm worried that there will be greater danger."

New tasks

Yang Shumao took out a small notebook from his pocket, flipped through a few pages and said, "We need to sort out the existing information and see if there are any clues that have not been uncovered."

Xie Zhiqiang nodded: "Then I will check the surveillance videos around the warehouse to see if I can find anything unusual."

"Okay, I'll contact my old friends here to see if they can provide more information." After Yang Shumao said this, he picked up the phone and started dialing a number.

Xu Xiaofeng's Discovery

While Yang Shumao and Xie Zhiqiang were busy, Xu Xiaofeng sat alone at her desk, feeling lost. Her eyes involuntarily fell on the scattered documents on the desk, and suddenly, she noticed a yellowed photo.

The photo showed several people standing in front of an ancient building, with a beautiful valley in the background. Xu Xiaofeng looked at the photo carefully and felt that the valley was somewhat familiar.

She picked up the photo and walked over to Yang Shumao: "Uncle Yang, look at this photo. Do you think there is anything special about this valley?"

Yang Shumao took the photo, looked at it carefully, and frowned: "This valley does look familiar. I seem to have seen it somewhere."

Xie Zhiqiang also came over: "The people in this photo seem to be Lao Xu and some of his old friends. They often went on adventures together when they were young. This valley might be a place they have been to."

Explore new clues

Xu Xiaofeng said excitedly: "We may be able to start from this valley and see if Grandpa has left any clues."

Yang Shumao nodded: "This is a good idea. We can first check the exact location of this valley and then decide on the next course of action."

Several people began to look for information about the valley in maps and materials. After some effort, they finally found the specific location of the valley. The valley is located in a remote mountainous area outside the city, where few people go but the scenery is picturesque.

Getting ready

After determining the target location, Yang Shumao and Xie Zhiqiang began to prepare the necessary equipment. They packed the necessary food, water and first aid supplies, and also took the map and the notes left by Mr. Xu.

Xu Xiaofeng was also ready, her eyes full of determination: "This time, I must find grandpa."

Yang Shumao patted her shoulder and said with a smile: "Xiaofeng, don't worry, we will definitely find Lao Xu."

Heading to the Valley

The group drove to a remote mountain area outside the city. After several hours of bumpy ride, they finally arrived at the valley entrance marked on the map.
