Stealing the Pen: Kirin's Primordial Lotus

Because of the snake mother found on the mural last night, Wu Xie and his companions were a little dazed tonight, and they all had dark circles under their eyes early the next morning.

"Tian Zhen, do you think this dilapidated temple has any connection with the Queen Mother of the West?" The fat man was sitting there cooking today, and he became absent-minded whenever he thought of the existence of a snake mother.

"Maybe it's possible. Since my third uncle wrote that, it means that the road they found can ensure that we will never find it." Wu Xie thought carefully about the fat man's words.

"Mr. Hei, how much do you know about the Kingdom of Queen Mother of the West? Can you tell us about it?" Wu Xie looked at Hei Xia Zi who was leisurely standing aside.

Wu Xie had been with Hei Xia Zi for so many times that he knew that this person must have something special to be invited by his uncle. Although he was very embarrassed by his insistence on money, his uncle had not yet paid the balance, so he directly put the account in his uncle's name.

Hearing Wu Xie's question, Hei Xiazi smiled slightly: "The Kingdom of Queen Mother of the West... This country is the same as the ancient Jingjue Kingdom that was exposed two years ago. They were both the rulers of the Western Regions at that time. However, in the legend, Queen Mother of the West possesses the art of immortality, and her country is full of various strange creatures and treasures. However, these are all legends. Who knows what the real Kingdom of Queen Mother of the West looks like?"

Wu Xie frowned: "Heiye, please tell us something we don't know."

"You saw it when you came down before. Most of the Kingdom of Queen Mother of the West is now submerged in water. So to find the entrance to the Kingdom of Queen Mother of the West, actually..." Hei Xia Zi suddenly stopped talking when he talked about the key point and made a five gesture to Wu Xie.

Wu Xie waved his hand, "Money is not a problem. My Third Uncle is so rich anyway, how can my Wu family do without you? It's all in my Third Uncle's name. If he doesn't give it to you, I'll go to my Third Uncle's shop and snatch it away for you."

Hei Xiazi was so elated after hearing Wu Xie's empty promise, "Okay! With your words, Xiao Sanye, I will definitely tell you everything I know!"

Hei Xiazi approached Wu Xie with a flattering look on his face, "Do you know why Chen Wenjin asked Dingzhu Zhuoma to tell you that she would wait for you at the entrance for only ten days?"

Wu Xie pondered for a moment, then said, "The weather in the desert is changeable, but it never rains. The reason why Queen Mother of the West is so lush and green must be because Queen Mother of the West once built a perfect water storage system underneath the country."

Hei Xiazi clapped his hands, "Bingou, you got it right. The Western Regions in the past were not the desert we see now. In the past, it was a place with abundant rain and lush grasslands. Under the Kingdom of Queen Mother of the West is the most complete water storage system in the Western Regions. Therefore, other countries have to submit to the Kingdom of Queen Mother of the West, where women are in power, because of water problems."

"Later, the Kingdom of Queen Mother of the West disappeared overnight, but the surrounding countries suffered from the lack of a guide. Gradually, the underground water storage system of the Kingdom of Queen Mother of the West became unusable because no one had repaired it for many years, but the rainwater was preserved. This created the oasis area in the desert today." Hei Xiazi explained why most of the Kingdom of Queen Mother of the West was submerged in water.

Wu Xie finally understood the meaning of what Chen Wenjin had said. "So Aunt Wenjin said she would wait for us at the entrance, because she was waiting for the rain. The rainwater will flow into the core of the Kingdom of Queen Mother of the West through the well-preserved water storage system. So as long as we follow the direction of the water flow, we will be able to find the core of the Kingdom of Queen Mother of the West."

Hei Xiazi nodded in agreement.

The fat man stirred the porridge in the pot and said, "Since we already know how to get in, let's come and eat first! After dinner, we will clean up and go find the water flow."

Wu Xie nodded in agreement. Then he turned to look at Hei Xia Zi and asked, "Hei Ye, thank you for answering our questions!"

The corners of Hei Xiazi's mouth slightly raised, revealing a confident smile: "Little Third Master, after all, I, the blind man, have received the deposit from the Third Master, so this little thing is still easy."

Wu Xie felt relieved. He believed in Hei Xia Zi's ability. After all, he must be more than an ordinary character if he was invited by his uncle. In the next journey, he needed to rely on Hei Xia Zi's power to protect himself and others.

At this time, the fat man suddenly shouted: "It's time to eat! Come and try my cooking!" Everyone sat together and started to enjoy breakfast. Although the future was uncertain, at this moment, they still enjoyed the warmth of each other's company.

After breakfast, Wu Xie and others packed their backpacks, walked out of the ruined temple, and under the guidance of Hei Xia Zi, found the still flowing water.

The four of them walked along the water. Finally, before night fell, Wu Xie heard the familiar voice of his uncle.

Pan Zi was about to ask the person on the other side, but was stopped by Wu Xie. The group of pheasants they met before imitated human speech so that they could not distinguish them. Who knows if there is also a group of pheasants holding a meeting behind the bushes?

Wu Xie pulled out the dagger from his leg, and took Pan Zi and Fatty, with Hei Xia Zi leading the way in front. He walked over carefully, parting the grass and leaves to look over.

Wu Xie saw through the gaps in the grass that his third uncle was sitting among a group of strangers, none of whom he knew, and the young man in the lead looked down on his uncle.

What puzzled Wu Xie was that his third uncle was not a good-tempered person. How could he sit there so calmly even after being pointed at and scolded?

Pan Zi had always been loyal to Wu Sansheng, so he could not bear to see this scene. He immediately rushed out and asked, "What group are you from? How can you talk to Master San?"

"Where did you come from, little Karami? How dare you interfere with your grandfather?"

The young man waved his hand, and a large group of people stood behind him. Some of them held wooden sticks, some held iron sticks, and some held stones.

Hei Xia Zi is best at using guns. It is easy to see that some of these people, although not holding any weapons in their hands, have bulges on their waists.

"Master San, the blind man finally found you. You are really a good runner. We have been chasing you for so long but haven't seen any trace of you." Hei Xiazi was the first to step forward and greet Wu Sansheng, intending to explain that they knew Wu Sansheng and were Wu Sansheng's men.

"Uncle San, you've deceived me so much!" Wu Xie also complained at the right time.

Wu Sansheng no longer sat down, but stood up and walked in front of the young man and Pan Zi. He first reached out and pressed the gun in Pan Zi's hand down, then turned around and looked at the young man.

"It's my fault too. I forgot to tell you. That's my nephew. He was instigated by someone to come to this desert alone. I was worried about his safety, so I asked my bodyguard to protect him and bring him here." Wu Sansheng first explained their identities and purpose, and then said, "Mop, please let it go for my sake. We are all here to look for treasure. Fighting like this will only hurt the relationship."

Mop made a snort but did not refute Wu Sansheng. He just said something harsh when he sat back, "Old man, let me tell you, if you don't lead us to find the treasure, then we can only stop here. I brought so many brothers here, how many things have we encountered along the way? We are all here for wealth, not to die."

Although Wu Sansheng was furious in his heart, he still had a kind expression on his face, indicating that they were not far away and he would definitely lead them to find the treasure.

Hei Xiazi watched the whole process and stood aside, saying sarcastically, "Master Wu San, it seems that you are really down and out! I don't know if I, Master Hei, can still get the final payment. Your nephew even wrote you a bad check for 50,000 yuan."

After hearing what Hei Xia Zi said, Wu Sansheng turned around and looked at Wu Xie. Wu Xie scratched the ground with his feet, looking at the sky, the earth, and the fat man, but not at Wu Sansheng.
