Chapter 151 He is a God
The fat man kicked half a clay pot over to cover the thing, making it less of an eyesore.

"You little rascal, you knew what was inside but didn't say so earlier. And you even said it was an aphrodisiac? You're scared stiff. How did you know that wine could be an aphrodisiac?" As he spoke, the fat man gave Zhang Wuxun a meaningful look and clicked his tongue twice.

Zhang Wuxun felt uneasy under his gaze and quickly stood up. "Where are you looking? I've never drunk this kind of wine before. I've only heard that some wealthy businessmen have paid high prices to inquire about this kind of wine from people in our line of work. Some people have even gone to remote, uninhabited places to get their hands on this wine, but in the end, both those who paid and those who made money lost their lives."

Pan Zi nodded in agreement, "I've seen this kind of earthenware pot before in Nangong, Shanxi. Da Kui and another of our guys took one out. I always thought it was inappropriate, so I didn't touch it, but they didn't care. They drank until they were empty and then discovered what was at the bottom. Da Kui ended up in the hospital for two months because of this."

The fat man clutched his chest, mimicking Xi Shi clutching her heart, and pointed at Zhang Wuxun and Pan Zi, saying with heartache, "You two have utterly broken my fragile heart. It needs compensation to heal."

"Stop covering it up, it's so pretentious," Panzi said disdainfully. "I've been really good to you. If I wanted to mess with you, I'd wait until you licked it before kicking the jar over, and you'd be in for it."

The fat man's face stiffened, he snorted, and turned his back like a child in a huff.

Zhang Wuxun chuckled, and Wu Xiaoxie and the others couldn't help but laugh as well.

Zhang Wuxun reached into his pocket, pulled out a handful of chocolates, gave one to each of Wu Xiaoxie and the others, and stuffed the rest into Fatty's hand.

The fat man immediately laughed again, put his arm around Zhang Wuxun's shoulder and said cheerfully, "Our Muyu is the best, unlike some people."

Pan Zi shook his head, too lazy to pay him any attention.

With this delay, the cold flames were almost extinguished. The fat man shot down a few more, then looked at the stone gates on the left and right walls of the tomb chamber and asked Zhang Wuxun, "Wooden Fish, which way do we go?"

"There's a mark on the door on the left, go to the left," Zhang Wu said.

Shunzi, who had been relatively unnoticed, asked suspiciously, "Did your third uncle or his companions leave these fancy markings to guide you?"

Pan Zi said in a deep voice, "Third Master should be with A Ning's group. It's possible that this mark was left by A Ning's group of foreigners. Of course, it's also possible that it wasn't. In any case, let's be careful and stay alert."

Zhang Wuxun nodded, signaling them to follow behind.

Entering the passageway, it was wide enough for two Jiefang trucks to pass side by side. The fat man said that this was the passageway used by mule carts during the construction, and there were indeed faint tire tracks on the ground.

The temperature inside the passageway was very low, and cold winds blew in from time to time. Panzi explained that this wind was called "natural wind," which the older generation called "ghost breathing." It was often seen in the tomb, but it was not dangerous.

Nobody knows how the wind was generated. After all, people go down into tombs to make a living. As long as they can earn money, who cares about this insignificant wind?

After walking for more than eighty meters, a black stone tomb door appeared ahead.

The fat man became visibly excited and rushed over, only to find that the door was locked; it was sealed with a stone.

There was a hole in the sealing stone. The fat man poked half his head in, shone his flashlight inside, and found that it was still a sealing stone. He immediately became a little deflated.

Zhang Wuxun patted him, telling him to move aside, then lit a cold firework and threw it in. He then crawled through the hole himself and signaled Wu Xiaoxie and the others to follow.

There were three consecutive sealing stones, each with large holes blasted open beforehand, making it easy to pass through.

It was colder in this passage than before, and the group couldn't help but shiver. Ahead was a crossroads, intersecting their passageway with the main tomb passage, where vast expanses of crimson murals unfolded, magnificent and ornate.

Wu Xiaoxie sighed twice, just as he was starting to get into the mood, when the oblivious fat man shattered his composure.

"Wooden Fish, which way do we go next?" the fat man asked.

Zhang Wuxun looked at the deep, dark passageway ahead, pointed to the letters in the corner of the wall, and said quietly, "There might be danger ahead, because the markings have changed. We need to be careful."

The fat man clicked his tongue. "Who the hell knows what these crooked, scribbled symbols mean? Didn't you say there was a treasure room ahead? Maybe it's a hint that there's treasure ahead, and that we should prepare a few more sacks."

Fatty is a pure optimist, and he is particularly good at using his unconventional thinking to lighten the mood in adversity.

After hearing what he said, the others weren't too nervous anymore.

Admittedly, what Fatty said made a lot of sense. They had followed the markings all the way here without any trouble or danger. Moreover, Wu Xiaoxie and Fatty were convinced that the markings were left by Xiao Ge to guide him when he entered this place in the future. There was no reason for anyone to deliberately sabotage themselves.

Knowing that the situation inside was troublesome but not life-threatening, Zhang Wuxun didn't say anything more. Anyway, with Fatty's tomb raiding talisman, they could just burn it when the time came.

"Okay, let's go."

Zhang Wuxun turned his head to look at the passageway shrouded in darkness behind him. His gaze paused for a moment when it fell on a certain spot, then he turned around as if nothing had happened and continued to lead the way.

What he never told Wu Xiaoxie and the others was that the guy they thought would disappear if they went into the tomb was actually following them silently not far behind.

Earlier, when he went to scout ahead to retrieve the Black Gold Ball, the young man suddenly appeared in front of him, which startled him. However, the young man didn't ask anything and even helped him restrain the giant worm covering the lid of the Nine Dragons Coffin. Otherwise, he definitely wouldn't have been able to go so smoothly, let alone return in time to save Wu Xiaoxie.

Zhang Wuxun clicked his tongue inwardly, wondering how the young man had discovered his ability to see in the dark. He had just given him a hand gesture, telling him to continue leading Wu Xiaoxie and the others forward, before turning and disappearing. He probably went to leave a note for Wu Sansheng after seeing the mark.

In the original storyline, when Wu Sansheng was pretending to be unconscious, he secretly slipped a note to Wu Xiaoxie when A Ning's people weren't paying attention. Part of the note was written by Xiao Ge.

Since Xiao Ge chose to keep himself hidden from Wu Xiaoxie and the others, he must have his own reasons, and Zhang Wuxun wouldn't bother to announce them.

No matter what Xiao Ge was going to do, Zhang Wuxun knew that Xiao Ge would rather get hurt himself than hurt others.

When they first met and he encountered danger, he didn't hesitate to cut himself to bleed, even though his body wouldn't allow it.

This is perhaps one of the reasons why countless fans outside the world of tomb raiding love Xiao Ge so much.

Countless people regarded him as a god, and he protected countless people, but he only failed himself.
