Chapter 537 Are You Grave Robbers?
Hu Bayi and Shirley Yang came closer to take a look, then walked back to discuss with everyone what to do next.
Looking at the entrance to the mausoleum right in front of them, no matter what the reason, everyone wanted to go in and take a look.
However, due to safety concerns, Hu Bayi did not dare to let everyone in rashly. After much discussion, they finally decided that he, Shirley Yang and Rosen would be the pioneers, go in and take a look before deciding whether to let everyone in.
Out of trust in Rosen's ability, everyone agreed readily.
"You two, let's go." Hu Bayi walked forward with a flashlight in one hand and a gun in the other, and ordered: "After we go in, we must be careful, especially don't touch any mechanisms."
As he spoke, he swept the front with the flashlight and said, "Be especially careful of those strange snakes with long crowns on their heads."
Seeing Rosen and Shirley Yang nod, Hu Bayi was the first to lower his head and crouch, and got into the tomb of the Queen of Jingjue from under the half-opened gate, mumbling a prayer: "Ancestor, bless you."
Rosen heard it carefully, but didn't react much. After all, he knew Hu Bayi's background.
But Shirley Yang subconsciously glanced at him, her eyes flickering, and no one knew what she was thinking.
The three of them walked forward in the darkness, two in front and one behind. After walking for an unknown amount of time, Shirley Yang suddenly asked, "Do you think we are already in the tomb of the Queen of Jingjue?"
"It's very possible." Hu Bayi said, "There is no such form of tomb in the Central Plains, but someone came in before and helped us. If there is an ambush, there should be traces left."
"Old Hu, Mr. Luo, I have a question for you." Shirley Yang suddenly said, "You don't know how to rob tombs?"
"No." Rosen denied it without even thinking about it.
"How is that possible?!" Hu Bayi was shocked for a moment, and then he hurriedly asked: "Why do you think so?"
"I'm just guessing." Shirley Yang pretended to be casual and said, "I just asked casually when I thought of it. I think you know the long-lost secret technique of dividing gold and locating tombs, and you are not unfamiliar with various ancient tombs at all. You are familiar with them as if they were your backyard. You really look like a tomb robber."
"All these skills of mine are inherited from my family..." Hu Bayi originally thought that she had seen through something, but now that he heard that she was just making random guesses, he quickly began to explain.
He thought he had covered it up well, but Rosen, who was watching from the sidelines, knew that he was now full of flaws.
Especially his current eagerness to explain, which more vividly illustrates what it means to try to cover up something only to make it more obvious.
"Old Hu, stop talking. My ears are buzzing." Rosen didn't want to hear his poor cover-up anymore, so he interrupted him and looked at Shirley Yang and said, "In fact, in my opinion, you are more like a tomb robber."
"Why do you say that?" Shirley Yang asked calmly.
"You said before that the reason you wanted to find the Ancient City of Jingjue was to complete your father's unfinished business, right?" Rosen asked.
"That's right." Shirley Yang nodded.
"What you said may be partially true, but it is not completely true," Rosen said.
"What do you mean? I don't understand." Shirley Yang was secretly shocked, but pretended to be confused.
"No, you know very well what's going on, you're just pretending to be confused." Rosen shook his finger and said, "I guess what you are going to do now is indeed what your father wanted to do but failed to do, but it is definitely not just to find the Jingjue Ancient City."
"Brother Luo, I'm a little confused by what you said." Hu Bayi said, "If it's not for the Jingjue Ancient City, then why is she spending money and taking risks? What is she trying to achieve?"
"He is plotting something that is very likely only found in the Jingjue Ancient City and not outside." Rosen looked at Shirley Yang and smiled, "Am I wrong?"
When Shirley Yang heard this, the blood in her body seemed to freeze and she felt a chill from the inside out.
She opened her mouth and wanted to deny it, but when she was stared at by Rosen's bright and sharp eyes that seemed to be able to see through all her thoughts easily, she finally didn't dare to lie.
"Ms. Yang, what exactly do you want?" Hu Bayi was not stupid. He immediately knew that Rosen had guessed right, so he asked immediately.
"I'm sorry I can't tell you." Shirley Yang said to Hu Bayi with a guilty look on her face, then looked at Rosen and said, "What about you, Mr. Luo, why are you here? Do you want to carefully select a priceless treasure from the Queen of Jingjue's burial objects as a gift for Diana?"
"I was wondering who told them about my wife." Rosen looked at her and said, "It turned out to be you."
"I'm sorry, I just spoke too quickly and didn't mean to disclose your privacy." Shirley Yang bowed and apologized.
"I accept your apology, but I hope this is the last time." Rosen looked at her and said, "Do you understand?"
"I understand." Shirley Yang nodded, her palms already full of cold sweat.
"That's good."
"Hey, come and take a look." As he spoke, Hu Bayi used the high-intensity flashlight in his hand to shine the light down at the end of the slope beneath his feet.
Wherever the light passed, all you could see were red, blue, yellow, green... it was truly colorful, all various kinds of gold, silver, and jewelry.
Hu Bayi said in a lost voice: "There are so many valuable things here. Maybe the tomb of the Queen of Jingjue is here."
"Have you ever wondered why the gold and silver here haven't been taken away?" Rosen said. "Those thieves who come here to steal things in the name of exploration are all greedy."
"Could it be because of the curse of the black desert that Anliman mentioned? No matter who it is, as long as they dare to take a little, they will be buried forever in the black desert along with these gold and silver treasures." Hu Bayi suddenly took a breath and said, "Brother Luo, could that be true?!"
"Very likely." Rosen nodded.
"I don't think these curses are a problem for us. After all, Professor Chen and the others are archaeologists and they will definitely not touch these things." Shirley Yang turned her head to look at Hu Bayi and said, "On the contrary, Fatty, you have to keep an eye on him."
"What do you mean?" Hu Bayi was furious when he heard this. "So we are thieves in your eyes? We may be poor, but we have great ambitions. I can guarantee with my head that as long as I don't let Fatty touch these things, he will definitely not touch them."
"As for you, when the Eight-Nation Alliance invaded China, you Americans were among them, right? I get angry when I mention these things." Hu Bayi said indignantly.
“Speaking of Fatty…” Shirley Yang glanced at him and said, “Look at how serious you look.”
"What's wrong? Am I wrong?" Hu Bayi asked.
"Let's go." Shirley Yang was too lazy to argue with him and turned around and left.
"What's going on?" Hu Bayi looked at Rosen.
"Don't ask me, I don't understand it either." Rosen waved his hands and pretended to be confused even though he knew the truth.
