Tomb Raiders start to enter the Lu Palace

Chen Hao didn't want her to worry, so he replied: "I'm fine, our trip this time will go smoothly, don't worry, Muchen Bead will definitely be in his hands."

At this time, a tea seller in the car, wearing ethnic costumes, came over to talk to the crowd, asking where they were going, and if they could drop by, he could take them to a nearby hotel.

When everyone saw this, they told him to go to the Snake River Valley to catch butterflies. It happened that the tea dealer was also going there to collect tea, so he got out of the car with everyone to go there.

While everyone was chatting, the car suddenly shook violently, everyone was startled, and then stopped, as if something was pressed under the car.

The driver opened the car door and looked under the car, and then yelled bad luck there, as if he saw something very bad.

It happened that everyone was sitting near the back row. When they poked their heads out of the car window, they saw a green stone figurine under the car crushed by the tires.

The stone figurines were very disgusting. There was only a stone shell on the outside, and the center was completely empty. After being crushed by the car, countless dense white bugs that looked like cicadas were exposed. Many of them were not dead and were still crawling. Creeping, the scalp of the person watching it tingles.

Xue Li frowned and said: "This stone figurine seems to be something from the Han Dynasty, and Xian Wang happened to be in that period. Could these things belong to him?"

Chen Hao nodded and said: "That's right, these things are dedicated to the king. Now that we have arrived at his territory, we can naturally see his things."

After seeing the stone figurine, the people in the car all seemed restless. According to the locals, encountering this kind of thing indicates death and disease, which is very ominous. Buddha, just ask for the peace talisman.

The driver beckoned a few locals to go down, moved the disgusting stone figurine aside with a shovel, and continued to drive away.

The tea dealer may be doing business or has other purposes. He chatted with everyone about the local customs and customs along the way, and everyone actually got a lot of tricks from him.

From the mouth of the tea dealer, I learned that Zhelong Mountain is high and densely forested, with many poisonous insects, snakes and ants, and the valley is humid and hot, and the miasma lingers all year round. None of the locals dare to go there.

When everyone heard this, they thought this was a good thing. After all, the target of tomb robbery was too great, and the more deserted the place, the more free they could do it.

The driver slowed down after hitting that disgusting stone figurine, perhaps in their opinion, they would encounter some trouble when hitting such an ominous thing, so they drove more smoothly.

After bumping around for a few more hours, they finally arrived at the place. They followed the tea dealer for half a day on the mountain road and came to an inn at the foot of Zhelong Mountain to stay.

Chapter 393 The Colored Cloud Inn

This inn was their last supply station. Because of the remote location, there were not many people living in the entire inn. It was a typical tall wooden building. There were plenty of rooms. Everyone chose one at random and lived in it.

The proprietress of the inn is a young woman in her 30s who runs the inn with a girl of eighteen or nineteen.

Coincidentally, when everyone came back, they came back with the proprietress and the little girl. On the way, they helped them carry their big and small bags back to the inn. The proprietress was very grateful to them.

When everyone returned to the inn, it was already past 9 o'clock in the evening. The proprietress personally cooked a sumptuous dinner for everyone. They ate all their local specialties, such as cured rabbit meat stewed vermicelli, wild pheasant chicken and smoked bamboo shoots , smoked pork fried mountain mushrooms and so on.

After a meal, the relationship between the people became much closer. They learned that the young woman was a young widow, her husband died in the war, and the eighteen or nineteen-year-old girl was her husband's younger sister, named Peacock.

The peacock is a girl from a minority ethnic group. She is slender and has a pair of big eyes, wearing local characteristic costumes. She looks lively and lovely.

Fatty's interest came all of a sudden, he always wanted to show off in front of the girl when he had nothing to do, but Peacock ignored him, instead he secretly looked at Chen Hao from time to time, his face turned red all of a sudden, and he quickly turned his head away.

Everyone told the proprietress that they came from the capital to catch butterflies as specimens to fill the vacancy in the field of domestic insects.

Peacock listeners were going to Zhelong Mountain to catch butterflies. They frowned slightly and said: "If you want to catch butterflies in the valley of Zhelong Mountain, there is only one way, which is to drain water from the water hole at the foot of Zhelong Mountain. But the water The cave was haunted and many people died, so you should not go..."

Peacock's sister-in-law also hurriedly persuaded: "Yes, many people died of ghosts over there in the early years, and now no one dares to go in. Moreover, the valley is full of poisonous miasma, and there are many poisonous insects, snakes and ants. You just catch a few outside here. Butterfly, go back, don't risk yourself."

The goal of everyone this time is to sacrifice the king's tomb and get back Muchen Bead, how could they turn back after a few words of persuasion?Naturally, you can't listen to them, and you insist on going no matter what they say.

Seeing this, Peacock and her sister-in-law had no choice but to give up. They took out a Jianwei air gun from the house and gave it to everyone for self-defense.

This Jianwei air gun is fired with medium-sized steel balls. It was used for hunting when Peacock's brother was alive. Now it is loaned to them for free without a deposit.

The air gun with a medium-sized steel ball is actually pretty powerful. It may not be good for hunting wild boars, but it is more than enough for hunting wolves. Everyone thanked Peacock and the others and brought the air gun over.

The fat man was very dissatisfied with the gun. He fiddled with it a few times and said, "It's okay to shoot rabbits or wolves, but you can't do anything with wild boars and man-bears. Is there a powerful one?"

Hu Bayao: "Intercontinental missiles are powerful, can you fucking handle them? It would be nice to have such a gun, you can be content."

After eating, everyone sat in the small courtyard of the inn and looked up at the starry sky. In the dark night, Zhelong Mountain, which is more than 3000 meters above sea level in the distance, presented a majestic black shadow under the moonlight.

In the valley of that mountain is the mausoleum of King Xian. They are already very close to their destination, and they will be able to get there tomorrow by walking on the mountain road for half a day.

After running around for several days, everyone was very tired. After a hasty bath, they went back to their rooms to rest and sleep.

There was no electricity in the inn. After blowing out the candles, Chen Hao fell asleep and fell asleep, but at this time someone knocked on the door.

"Ah Hao, are you asleep? There are some things I want to ask you..."

Sydney's voice came from outside the door.

"What's the matter?"

Chen Hao asked.

"Can I come in and talk?"

Chen Hao had no choice but to get up, opened the door, and let Xueli in.

Xueli said with a pretty face, "Thank you for the elixir you gave the professor. After he took it, his mental state improved a lot. Your elixir works really well!"

"The professor is a pillar of the country. I am very pleased that we have helped him. That's why you came here?" Chen Hao asked.

Xueli glanced at him resentfully, and said coquettishly: "Can't I chat with you if I have nothing to do? Am I so unwelcome by you?"

Chen Hao: "... If there is anything, you might as well just say it."

"Are you still worried about the fact that I used you to go to the ancient city of Jingjue last time?" Xue Li asked.

Chen Hao said calmly: "No, I won't argue with a woman."

Xueli pondered for a while, and then said: "For what happened last time, I can only say sorry to you! But I have no choice, because I want to solve the mystery of my own life experience and the cause of my father's death too much. "

Chen Hao nodded, expressing his understanding.

Xue Li asked, "How sure are you that you will find Muchen Bead this time?"

Chen Hao said: "I'm [-]% sure, don't worry, we will definitely find Muchen Bead and undo the ghost eye curse on you."

Sydney said: "I hope so. I have a premonition that this plan will not be so smooth, and I have to thank you for taking care of us along the way..."

In the early morning of the next day, Chen Hao got up early, brushed his teeth and had breakfast, woke up everyone one by one, took his equipment, and set off for the river at the foot of Zhelong Mountain.

Peacock also followed with a hatchet, and helped everyone chop a few thick bamboos. After roasting for half an hour, two bamboo rafts were made.

These local bamboos grow very thick, each about the thickness of a human thigh, and after being dried by fire, they are very buoyant, and their toughness has also been greatly improved, which is more than sufficient for carrying people and equipment.

Chen Hao took out 200 yuan from his pocket, stuffed it into Peacock's hand, and said: "Girl, go back, you keep the money, we will be back in a few days."

"Ah... so much money, you only stay for one night, we can't charge so much money, let's settle the bill together after you come back, you must come back safely."

Peacock quickly returned the money to Chen Hao. The local people are simple and honest, and they will take as much as they should, and they will never take advantage of others.
