Traveling Through the Grave Robbers' Chronicles: Starting from Meeting You

The next day, the rising sun slowly climbed up from the horizon, and the golden light was sprinkled on the white snow bit by bit.

"Everyone get up! Pack your things, it's time to go!"

Chenpi A's men shouted loudly, waking up everyone who was dreaming.

Everyone hurriedly climbed out of the tent, packed up in a hurry, and moved forward under Chenpi A Si's impatient urging.

"Damn it, they made us go on our way without even giving us a bite of breakfast. The donkeys in the production team are not as miserable as me, Fatty. I am so hungry that my chest is sticking to my back!"

"Fatty, are you kidding me? Look at all your fat. There's no way your chest can touch your back. Hahaha..."

Wu Xie didn't care about the fat man's gloomy face and laughed at him unscrupulously.

Even Pan Zi and Hei Xia Zi, who were walking in front of them, were affected by Wu Xie's laughter. The smiles on their lips dispelled the sadness on their faces.

Fatty looked around him and found that everyone who could hear Wu Xie's words was laughing at him. Even Zhang Qiling, who usually had a blank expression, had a faint smile on his face.

"Well you are so naive, how dare you laugh at your fat grandfather! And your little brother, don't hide it, I saw you laughing!"

Zhang Hanyan watched them playing and laughing, which added a lot of fun to the boring journey.

When the large group stopped to rest again, Zhang Hanyan took off his backpack, took out the food that had been prepared long ago, and distributed it to everyone.

"for you."

Hei Xia Zi looked up at her, reached out to take the things she handed over, and thanked her with a smile.

"Thank you, this thing looks quite appetizing."

"Eating beef cold and eating rabbit legs cold are both a bit spicy, but they can warm your body up."

Hei Xia Zi wanted to say something, but before he could open his mouth, Zhang Hanyan had already turned and left.

He looked at Wu Xie and Fatty beside him and wanted to chat with them, but he found that the two of them had no time to pay attention to him and were wolfing down the food in their hands.

"Hanyan, this cold beef is really delicious. It's chewy and filling. It's much better than compressed biscuits."

"Yes! And this cold rabbit meat in my hand is spicy and very tasty. It's so spicy that it makes me sweat."

Xi Liu and Zhang Mo, who were hiding beside Chen Pi A Si, looked calmly in the direction of Zhang Hanyan and the others, with a hint of envy in their eyes.

Zhang Mo pulled Xiliu's sleeve imperceptibly and whispered, "Xiliu, do you think the food Hanyan gave them is really that delicious? I want to try it, too."

Xi Liu shook her sleeves, brushed away Zhang Mo's hand, and snorted, "It's like who doesn't want to. I once ate food cooked by the Saint in Hangzhou. The taste is still unforgettable to me."

As soon as the words fell, the two looked at each other tacitly, and saw the same bitterness in each other's eyes.

Oh... Life is hard...

The further they went, the thicker the snow became, the fewer trees there were, and the more rocks there were.

The wind and snow were getting stronger and stronger, and the sky and the earth were covered with a vast expanse of white.

Zhang Qiling took Zhang Hanyan's backpack and put it on his back, holding her hand and walking forward step by step with difficulty.

The fat man walking in front wanted to say something to Wu Xie, but as soon as he opened his mouth, the howling wind and snow poured straight into his mouth, forcing him to close his mouth.

The sky was getting darker and the visibility was getting lower and lower, but there was no place around them that could shelter from the wind, so they had to grit their teeth and keep moving forward.

To prevent any accidents, Zhang Hanyan took out a long hemp rope and tied it around each of their waists.

"If anything unexpected happens, pull the rope."

Wu Xie and Fatty nodded in agreement and made an OK gesture to her.

Zhang Qiling held her hand tightly, not letting her out of his sight at all, as if he was afraid that she would disappear in this white world.

No one in the team spoke. Everyone lowered their heads and walked forward in silence, praying in their hearts that they could find a sheltered place as soon as possible.

Finally, before dark, under the careful leadership of Zhang Hanyan, everyone arrived at the hot spring gap that led directly to the bronze door.

"You two, go in and see if there's room for people to rest for the night."

Chenpi A Si pointed at Zhang Hanyan and Zhang Qiling in the team, and his unquestionable tone made Xi Liu and Zhang Mo beside him frown.

Zhang Hanyan and Zhang Qiling looked at each other, took off their equipment, tried to reduce their own size as much as possible, and squeezed into the gap.

The two men continued walking forward for a while with flashlights, until they came to a flap hidden in the stone wall and stopped.

"Hanyan, is this the place?"

Zhang Qiling's two unusually long fingers slowly stroked the uneven stone wall and easily found the mechanism to open the flap.

"Yes, this is it. But we won't take them in from here this time. Let's go out and invite them to come in and rest."

"it is good."

Zhang Qiling and Zhang Hanyan returned to the entrance of the gap again and stood in front of everyone.

"Grandpa Si, there is a lot of space inside. There are several hot springs inside. It's very warm, and the temperature has reached more than 30 degrees. It's very safe."

After hearing Zhang Hanyan's report, Chenpi A'si nodded with great satisfaction.

"In that case, everyone go in one by one, have a good night's rest, and set out again tomorrow morning."

Fatty and Wu Xie rushed into the gap, and after finding a good position, they threw their equipment away and began to study the murals on the stone wall.

While Wu Xie was watching intently, the fat man next to him suddenly reached out and used his fingernails to peel off the murals on the stone wall one by one.

"What are you doing, Fatty? You are causing trouble, do you know that?"

"Don't make a noise, Tian Zhen. Look, this mural has two layers."

The outermost layer of the murals was peeled off in large quantities, and the murals hidden inside were completely revealed to everyone.

The colors of the murals are very bright, using a large amount of blood-like colors. Under the light, they flash like colored glass.

To the naked eye, it looks like the stone wall in front of you is oozing blood.

"Hanyan, what is this?"

"The narrative murals should be about the war between King Wannu of Dongxia and the Mongols. According to legend, it was the war that led to the destruction of Dongxia."

Zhang Hanyan took two steps forward and pointed to a certain spot on the mural. "These large numbers of soldiers wearing leopard skins and armor are the army of King Wannu."

Wu Xie frowned and looked at the mural from beginning to end, then asked in confusion.

"But that's not right. The murals record that Dongxia was destroyed by Mongolia. According to legend, this mausoleum was built by Wang Zanghai for the Dongxia emperor. Judging from the time, it should have been built at the end of the Yuan Dynasty. By that time, Dongxia had been destroyed for hundreds of years. How could there be a place for the Dongxia emperor to be buried?"

Zhang Hanyan had long seen through Wu Xie's determination to get to the bottom of things, and she knew that if she didn't answer his questions, he would probably keep asking more.

She turned her head to look at Chenpi A'Si, who was leaning against the stone wall, looking as if it had nothing to do with him, and said nonchalantly.

"Fourth Grandpa, can you show us the snake-browed bronze fish you got?"

Chenpi A Si, who had been so calm at first, could no longer sit still when he heard her words. He stood up straight like a catapult and stared at her with his cloudy eyes.
