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

At night, the camp was quiet and fireflies were like little green stars flowing in the night sky.

The night is warm and the dark sky is dotted with stars. The moon climbs up to the treetops, emitting bright light and coating the earth with a layer of silver.

The people brought by Xie Yuchen built more tents and lit more fires around the campsite they had chosen before.

The Xie family's men moved away from where they were and gathered in groups of three or four.

Zhang Hanyan, Zhang Qiling, Wu Xie, Fatty, Xie Yuchen and Hei Xiazi sat together, staring at the four balls of mud buried under the flint.

"Sister, are we going into the water tomorrow?"

Xie Yuchen turned his gaze back and looked at Zhang Hanyan. In the distance, the lake under the night sky was quiet and silent, reflecting the stars in the sky.

"Well, tomorrow my brother and I will take Wu Xie and Fatty down to have a look. You and Hei Ye will wait for us on the shore."

"But......"

"Xiaohua," Zhang Hanyan frowned and interrupted Jie Yuchen, "Someone must stay behind, otherwise, if something happens to us underwater, who will save us?"

Xie Yuchen pondered for a moment and murmured, "Okay then."

He stared at the flames in a daze. After a moment, as if he suddenly remembered something, he raised his head and looked at Zhang Hanyan again.

"Sister, is Xiliu also a member of your Zhang family?"

Zhang Hanyan didn't want to hide it from him and nodded directly, "Yes, he is also a member of the Zhang family."

"No wonder... In Beijing, it's extremely difficult to do business with this gentleman. I wonder why he would cooperate with the Jie family..."

"Xiaohua, this matter really has nothing to do with me."

Zhang Hanyan picked up some firewood and threw it into the fire, then brushed off the dust on her hands and looked at him intently.

"The reason Xiliu can cooperate with the Jie family is because of you. It is you who have the ability and strength to make him cooperate with you. It has nothing to do with me.

At first, I didn't know whether Xiliu and Zhang Mo were in Beijing or in the Xisha Underwater Tomb when the fat man said that a man bought the gold and jade clothes brought out of the Qixing Lu Palace.

From his description, I guessed that the person who bought the things was Xiliu, so I asked Fatty to take them to Hangzhou to meet us.

But before that, I had no contact with them at all, so... don't get me wrong, believe in your own abilities, you have been great over the years!"

Xie Yuchen stared at her intently, and from her words and expression, he was sure that she was not lying to him.

Her affirmation brought a bright smile to his face, just like a child who was suddenly praised by an adult, with his eyes shining.

He couldn't help but tense up, nodding his head as she spoke, "Well, I have the ability..."

Zhang Qiling glanced at him indifferently without saying a word. He silently took the wooden stick from Zhang Hanyan's hand and dug out the mud ball thrown into the fire.

"Hanyan, the beggar's chicken is ready."

As he spoke, he used a wooden stick to knock open the mud wrapped around the outside. He used such great force that the mud flew everywhere.

When Hei Xia Zi saw this, he quickly snatched the stick from his hand and said with a smile: "I'll do it, I'll do it."

The Beggar's Chicken was rescued by him from Zhang Qiling's hands. He carefully peeled off the lotus leaves that wrapped it, revealing the beggar's chicken with golden skin inside.

"Wow! I didn't expect the chicken cooked this way to be so delicious. Master Hua, come here, I'll give you a big chicken drumstick!"

Hei Xiazi pulled off a chicken leg and handed it to Xie Yuchen with a smile.

"Thanks!"

Xie Yuchen reached out to take it, and rarely did he say anything back to Hei Xia Zi.

Four beggar's chickens were just enough for six people to share, with no leftovers.

The fat man looked at the chicken bones on the ground and sighed, "Oh, why did you eat them all? I said I would leave some for Yuncai, she likes it very much."

Wu Xie resisted the urge to slap him, took a deep breath, and tried his best to pull the drooping corners of his mouth upwards, putting on a fake smile.

"Hey Fatty, there are only clouds in your mind, right?"

"Yeah! Who else would it be? Are you innocent?"

As soon as the fat man finished speaking, he felt a chill and his whole body trembled.

"Eh... thinking about that scene, it's quite disgusting... do you think it's naive?"

This time, Wu Xie, who couldn't bear it any longer, slapped the fat man on the back, making a crisp sound.

The fat guy was grimacing after being hit by him. He wanted to reach out and rub the place where he was hit, but after trying for a long time, his hand couldn't reach that place.

"You're so naive! You hit me too hard! You almost made me vomit blood!"

Wu Xie snorted coldly and ignored the fat man who was jumping up and down.

Of the six people sitting around the fire, five were laughing and joking, leaving Zhang Qiling alone. He looked at them silently, occasionally chuckling.

The next morning, Zhang Hanyan and Zhang Qiling packed up briefly, took their diving equipment, and dived to the bottom of the lake with Wu Xie and Fatty.

The lake bottom is not completely flat. There are wooden buildings covered with sediments under the steep slopes. The village is built on the south side of the canyon.

The eerie underwater ancient village has about fifty or sixty households, most of which live in stilt houses. The ancient buildings were not built in modern times and their style is very simple and ancient.

The four of them kept checking around the ancient village. There was enough oxygen in the oxygen tanks, so they could stay underwater for a long time.

At the edge of the ancient village, there are many tombstone-like stone tablets, which are covered with rust.

Zhang Hanyan had just swam past the outermost fence of the ancient village when a strange green light suddenly appeared in the deepest part of the village, like a solitary lamp that was lit by someone.

In this deep water, the green halo seems to be a ghost fire lit up from the underworld, hazy.

Wu Xie and Fatty immediately stopped moving forward. They were both startled by the sudden appearance of the light.

Zhang Qiling stared fixedly at the green light flickering in the depths of the ancient village. It was as if something was pulling him and making him swim involuntarily towards the direction of the green light.

Bro?

Seeing him leave, Zhang Hanyan had no choice but to make a gesture to Wu Xie and Fatty, signaling them to follow.

Zhang Qiling swam very fast, and Zhang Hanyan, Wu Xie and the others could hardly catch up with him. They could only see a blurry figure in front of them.

They followed the green light and saw a very large composite stilt tower, which was composed of several stilt buildings combined together.

The outer edge of the tower is made of stone structure, and the flying eaves of the tiled roof are unique to Hui-style architecture. The tower in front of them is not a Yao building at all, but a Han building.

The ancient Han-style building is completely surrounded by stilt buildings. The tiles on the roof are exactly the same color. The ancient building is protected and surrounded by the surrounding stilt buildings.
