Siheyuan: tomb robbing? I am serious about hunting.

Hu Bayi stood up, walked to the bookshelf and started searching.

After a moment, he pulled out a thick thread-bound book.

He opened the book and flipped through it, carefully comparing the patterns on it with the symbols in the book.

After a while, he raised his head and said, "If I'm not mistaken, this should be Xixia script."

"Xixia script?" The fat man came closer, eyes wide open, "What is that? How come I have never heard of it?"

Chu Tian also became interested and asked, "Old Hu, what dynasty was this Xixia? Was it very powerful?"

Hu Bayi smiled and shook his head. "It's not that powerful, but a little weird. Xixia was a dynasty founded by the Dangxiang people. It lasted less than two hundred years before it was destroyed by the Mongols."

"The Xixia people are a bit weird. They like to do weird things. Their writing is also original. It is completely different from our Chinese characters. Therefore, very few of them have been passed down and not many people know them."

"Do you know Old Hu?" Chu Tian asked, with a hint of admiration in his tone.

Hu Bayi raised his chin proudly, "Of course, don't you see who you are, Brother Hu! Back then..."

"Come on, you're bragging again!" The fat man interrupted him mercilessly, "Tell me quickly, what does it say?"

Hu Bayi rolled his eyes at the fat man, cleared his throat, pointed at the booklet and said, "I took a quick look. It seems that what is recorded here is a place called 'Black Water City'..."

"Blackwater City? What is that place?"

When Hu Bayi saw Chu Tian asking, he began to show off his knowledge.

"This Black Water City is not simple! It is located in today's Ejin Banner and was a border city of the Western Xia Dynasty. After the Western Xia was destroyed by Mongolia, Black Water City became a forgotten corner and was gradually buried by sand and became a legendary 'ghost town'."

The fat man was listening with great interest and couldn't help but interrupt: "Ghost town? Are there a lot of ghosts there? Then we won't have to deal with ghosts this time, right?"

Hu Bayi rolled his eyes at Fatty and said unhappily, "Fatty, could you please stop interrupting me? Let me finish what I'm saying!"

The fat man shrank his neck, not daring to interrupt again, and listened obediently to what Hu Bayi continued to say.

"The reason why this Black Water City is called Black Water City is because there is a Black Water River outside the city. The water in the river is as black as ink. I don't know why, but it's quite spooky anyway."

"When Genghis Khan was on his western expedition, the people of Heishui City were so bold that they dared to confront the Mongolian cavalry. As a result, they were surrounded by Genghis Khan's army."

"The Xixia people are really tough. At this time, they still dare to go against the Mongols. Isn't this courting death?"

"Who says it's not true? But the Xixia people are really ruthless. They would rather die than surrender. In the end, I don't know what method they used, but they actually changed the course of the Black River outside the city and directly flooded the entire city. They would rather perish together than let the Mongols get a grain of food."

When Hu Bayi said this, there was a hint of admiration in his tone.

"Damn, this is too cruel!" The fat man was stunned and couldn't help but exclaimed.

"It is said that there are treasures of Xixia hidden in this Black Water City, as well as many Xixia classics, but these are just legends, no one has ever seen them."

"And this Black Water City is very evil. It is said that the resentment of the Xixia people who were drowned back then has not dissipated to this day and has been lingering in the city."

"Then shall we go?"

When the fat man heard this, his calves trembled a little.

"What are you afraid of? Brother Tian is here! Besides, we are going to look for treasure, not to die. What are you afraid of?"

"Old Hu, according to what you said, the owner of this tomb is very likely someone from Blackwater City back then?"

Hu Bayi nodded, "Well, it's very possible. Think about it, the burial objects in this tomb are all in Xixia style, and there are also books written in Xixia language. Who else could it be except the people from Blackwater City?"

"But... the village I'm in now is in Gansu, quite a distance from Mongolia. How could this tomb be buried there?"

Hu Bayi patted Chu Tian on the shoulder and said, "The movement of the earth's crust is very rapid. Over hundreds or thousands of years, anything can happen!"

The fat man was stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help asking, "Old Hu, do you mean that this mountain ran here by itself?"

Hu Bayi rolled his eyes at the fat man and said unhappily, "The earth's crust is moving, the mountain plates are shifting. Millions of years ago, the land we are standing on might have been in the sea! What's so strange about that!"

"Besides, there are so many strange things in this world. Some things cannot be explained by science!"

"Besides, think about it, maybe the people of Blackwater City fled all the way to Gansu to avoid the Mongols' pursuit, and finally chose to settle there!"

Although Chu Tian found it a little unbelievable, after thinking about it carefully, it seemed to make some sense.

"In that case, let's go to the tomb! I really want to see what secrets are in this tomb!"

Hu Bayi and Fatty also nodded and started to go back to the house to pack their things.

In less than half an hour, the three of them went out quietly, carrying large and small bags.

……

A few hours later, the three of them arrived at the cave that Chu Tian had visited yesterday.

"This is it."

"Brother Tian, ​​if you hadn't led the way, ordinary people wouldn't have been able to find this place!"

"I just discovered it by chance. Move the branch away quickly."

"Okay, Brother Tian, ​​don't do it. Let us do the rough work."

After saying that, the fat man began to clear the branches at the entrance of the cave.

After a while, a dark cave appeared in front of the three people.

Chu Tian was the first to enter the cave. He had walked through it once yesterday, so he was very familiar with the terrain here.

Hu Bayi and Fatty followed closely behind, holding flashlights and carefully observing the surrounding environment.

The cave was dry, dusty and had a musty smell in the air.

Hu Bayi and Fatty followed closely behind, afraid of being left behind.

After walking for about ten minutes, the view suddenly opened up.

"Oh my God! This...this is too big!" The fat man couldn't help but exclaimed.

"This place...why does it feel like a factory?" Hu Bayi looked around and said in confusion.

"That's right, this used to be a Japanese arsenal." Chu Tian said lightly, scaring the fat man.

The fat man's eyes lit up and he rubbed his hands. "Holy crap! Arsenal? Are there any guns in here? Cannons? Grenades or something?"

Chu Tian smiled and shook his head. "I have hidden all those things, but... when we get there, I will give each of you a gun and bullets."

"real?!"

When the fat man heard this, he jumped up excitedly and hugged Chu Tian's neck.

"Haha! Great! I have a gun too!"
