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

In the early morning, the whole world is cool. The sunlight shines through the light mist and shines on the grass and trees. The dewdrops on the leaves also reflect crystal light.

"Oh my god, when did this person appear? What does this mean? Is this a miracle?"

The fat man's scream successfully woke up the others. Wu Xie crawled out of the sleeping bag, rubbed his eyes, and looked at Chen Wenjin who was tied up.

He stared at Chen Wenjin's face intently. The more he looked, the more familiar the face seemed to him.

He recalled the group photo taken by the archaeological team at the Xisha Wharf more than ten years ago, in which the face of one of the people slowly overlapped with the face in front of him.

"You are... Chen Wenjin! Aunt Wenjin! Who tied you up here?"

As he spoke, he walked quickly forward, preparing to untie the ropes tied around Chen Wenjin.

"Wu Xie, we agreed beforehand that if you untie the rope, you will be responsible for the consequences..."

Zhang Hanyan sat on her knees, lazily supporting her chin with her hand, looking at Wu Xie with a half-smile as he put his hand on the knot.

"What do you mean?"

Wu Xie asked in confusion.

“It’s nothing, I just want to tell you that if you untie her rope and she runs away, my brother and I will definitely go after her.

My brother and I are leaving. Are you sure you guys can handle the things in this forest?"

Her words made Wu Xie suddenly retract his hand that was already on the knot. He thought of the giant python and pheasant neck he encountered yesterday and couldn't help shuddering.

Under Chen Wenjin's pleading gaze, he smiled embarrassedly and pulled the knot that was about to loosen tighter.

“Hehe… I’m sorry, Aunt Wenjin, those snakes are so scary. If the little brother and the others leave, we will definitely suffer.

Um... I know you are my third uncle's girlfriend, when you see my third uncle, you can complain to him however you want."

The fat man looked at Wu Xie with a serious expression and smiled, silently giving him a thumbs up.

"Innocent, on the right path!"

"roll!"

Wu Xie rolled his eyes at him and started packing his things.

After a busy period, Aning took the initiative to help Chen Wenjin up, picked up the rope that was specially left open, and led her to walk in the middle of the team.

With Zhang Hanyan and Zhang Qiling in front and Wu Xie, Fatty and Pan Zi behind, there is no need to worry that she will break free from the rope and escape.

Half an hour after they set off, a red smoke suddenly floated into the air ahead.

The direction from which the smoke rose was in the center of the basin, deep in the swamp.

"This is the signal from Master San and his team! Red smoke, bad, Master San and his team are in trouble!"

Wu Xie grabbed Pan Zi who was about to run forward and asked anxiously, "What does this color mean? How do you know he's in trouble?"

“Before Fatty and I went to look for you, I made an agreement with Master San to use the color of the smoke to determine whether it was safe or not.

Yellow means there is danger ahead, orange means stop going, and red... means you must not get close!

"Little Third Master, you can't go any further. Go back. I'm going to find Third Master to make sure he's safe."

"Are you kidding me?" Wu Xie yelled angrily, "I've come all this way and you want me to go back? Besides, it's so dangerous here, how can you go find him by yourself?"

During their argument, the signal smoke in the distance gradually became thinner, slowly drifting in the air and could no longer be seen.

"Stop arguing! Let's go together. No one should think about leaving the team. If something happens to someone who leaves alone, my brother and I will have to go to rescue them with great effort!"

After Zhang Hanyan finished speaking, she took Zhang Qiling and turned to leave, no longer paying attention to the people following them.

She turned around and headed towards the direction of the signal smoke. When the people behind her saw that they had really left, they looked at each other and could only jog to catch up.

The deeper they went into the jungle, the quieter it became. They didn't even hear a bird singing.

Faced with this strange phenomenon, the people walking behind Zhang Hanyan and Zhang Qiling became more cautious and highly alert.

"Tian Zhen, look at Brother and Han Yan, look quickly!"

"What's wrong? Isn't it right in front?"

The fat man stared at him speechlessly and said helplessly, "Look at them, they are just like taking a walk in their own backyard, not nervous at all..."

Wu Xie rolled his eyes at him, "Isn't that nonsense? If you and I had their abilities, we would definitely walk forward like we were strolling in our own backyard!

but......"

Wu Xie quietly walked up to Fatty and spoke in a voice that only they could hear.

"Maybe this really is their back garden!"

"What do you mean?"

The fat man's pupils suddenly shrank and he nervously swallowed two or three times. His intuition told him that what Wu Xie was going to say next would definitely be a shocking secret.

Wu Xie looked at Aning and Chen Wenjin who were walking in front of them, and took out the dragon vein map from his pocket and handed it to Fatty.

The fat man opened the neatly folded papers in confusion. The places they had walked together formed a complete dragon vein.

The Tamuta Palace of the Queen Mother of the West is located right on this dragon vein.

"Tian Nai, where did you get this thing?"

"This picture was found in Chen Wenjin's notebook at the Golmud Sanatorium. Han Yan also has one of these pictures. Moreover, the one she has is quite old.

Fatty, do you know? Han Yan told me that every place on this map has the work of the Zhang family.

So, you say, when they go to these places, is it like visiting their own backyard? "

"No wonder!" The fat man showed an expression of sudden enlightenment, "No wonder Han Yan is so comfortable every time we go to the tomb, as if she already knew what we would encounter."

The fat man thought for a moment and looked at Zhang Qiling in front of him, "But, aren't you and Han Yan from the same family? And you're the clan leader. Why don't you look like someone who knows these things?"

Wu Xie shook his head, "I don't know either. I'll ask Han Yan when we get out. Of course, that's if she's willing to tell us."

"it is good!"

The two of them ended their whispered conversation and put the dragon vein map away again.

When it was getting dark, they saw a temple hidden in the jungle. The temple was a whole, huge, multi-story building.

The columns and walls of the temple are painted with ancient reliefs from the Western Regions.

They stood on a high place in the temple and looked around. At a glance, they saw more than a dozen large tents connected together on the flat area of ​​the temple.

"That should be Wu Sanxing's camp. Let's go over and take a look."

Aning pulled the rope that tied Chen Wenjin and walked straight forward. The others followed them one after another and approached the camp.

There were no signs of fighting, no blood, and no one in the camp.

They found a burnt-out ball of smoke in a huge bonfire in the middle of the camp, from which the red smoke was rising.

"So, my third uncle was here this morning, but now he's gone. All of them are gone? Where would they go?"

"They've already gone in."

After Zhang Hanyan finished speaking, she pointed to a large stone nearby. It was getting dark, and the words carved on the stone were becoming increasingly unclear.

Everyone took out their flashlights and shone them on the stone. A sentence was engraved on the stone:

We have found the entrance to the Palace of Queen Mother of the West. There is no way back once you enter. This is a farewell forever!

My wish has been fulfilled, and I have no regrets. This place is dangerous, so leave quickly and don't stay!

"What does he mean by this? It's ok that he took people in, but what does it mean that he also left these words that sounded like a will?"

After being stunned, Wu Xie carefully identified the handwriting on the stone. After confirming that it was Wu Sanxing's, his face became expressionless and he could not tell any emotion.
