Chapter 228: Chuzhou General and Underground Tunnel!

Xiao Chang, who transformed into a local scholar, immediately attracted a lot of attention. They had all seen Lin Fan's methods. This abnormal behavior made some smart people secretly ponder the deeper meaning behind it.

A courageous person walked up to Lin Fan, clasped his hands together, and said, "Excuse me, Young Master Lin, I'd also like to dig for treasure nearby. I wonder if that would bother you?"

Ever since Lin Fan killed Murong Tianguang, many people have privately called him Young Master Lin.

On the one hand, Lin Fan is indeed young, and on the other hand, Murong Tianguang is too domineering and his style of doing things is extremely overbearing.

Many people had been unhappy with him for a long time, and they felt that Lin Fan had done a great job in eradicating evil and eliminating villains, and was simply a hero in the martial arts world.

This person was very smart, but he was just standing outside the circle drawn by Lin Fan. His own strength was not that strong, and he couldn't grab anything by following others into the underground palace, so he came here to try his luck.

Lin Fan waved his hand indifferently. As long as it didn't affect him, it didn't matter.

The man was immediately overjoyed, and imitated Xiao Chang, drawing his sword and starting digging on the spot, which attracted many people to watch the fun.

As time passed, Xiao Chang dug down for dozens of meters. Apart from stones and soil, he could not see anything else. He was covered with dirt and looked like a farmer who had just finished farming.

The young man outside the circle was not digging as fast as Xiao Chang, but he had already dug more than ten meters deep, and the piles of earth on both sides were as high as a hill.

Inevitably, some people around him laughed at him, sarcastically saying, "Look at this fool! Young Master Lin has a keen eye for talent, so there must be something profound behind it. Who do you think you are? You want to imitate him?"

"Humph! This person's own strength is too weak to dare to go down to the underground palace to search for treasures. He only dares to take shortcuts. I don't know what sect he belongs to. He doesn't even have the ambition to make progress.

They didn't dare to provoke Lin Fan, but they had no taboos about mocking the young man next to them outside the circle.

The young man turned a deaf ear and continued digging downwards, swinging his sword as he pleased.

But the more he did this, the louder the people's mockery became. The boy's face turned red, but he could only lower his head.

"If you dare to make a sound again, you will be killed."

Lin Fan on the side frowned, and just waved his hand casually. Suddenly, a force spread across dozens of meters and directly collapsed a stone wall not far away.

Many of those people were immediately scared away, and no one dared to offend Lin Fan.

But there were also a few people who were still resentful and stayed where they were, wanting to see Lin Fan and the young man make a fool of themselves. They all kept silent and were even more wary of Lin Fan in their hearts.

Suddenly, a crisp "ding" sound broke the silence.

The young man's face flushed, and he excitedly waved the sword in his hand quickly, digging up a layer of loose soil and revealing a bronze tripod.

He didn't take out the bronze tripod right away. Instead, he clasped his fists towards Lin Fan and asked, "Is this the bronze tripod that Young Master Lin is looking for?"

Lin Fan smiled and shook his head slightly, thinking that this person was a wonderful person.

This young man knew when to advance and when to retreat. If this tripod was really the treasure that Lin Fan was looking for, he would not be able to escape death even if he ran as fast as he could. It would be better for him to offer it to him and even do him a favor.

"Brother Lin! I dug something up!" Xiao Chang poked his head out of the deep pit and greeted Lin Fan.

A hint of joy appeared in Lin Fan's eyes. He jumped to the side of the deep pit and saw a corridor under the soil. It was so deep that the end was not in sight.

The young man came over holding the bronze tripod, glanced at the underground tunnel, and immediately looked away. He understood that he shouldn't look at everything.

Lin Fan glanced at the bronze tripod and said, "This is a medicine tripod from the pre-Qin period. The tripod itself is not important. What's important is what's hidden inside."

The young man immediately understood Lin Fan's meaning. He opened the medicine cauldron and took out a very small box. With extremely quick movements, he put the box into his arms.

Lin Fan was reminding others that there were many eyes watching, and that at a critical moment, the bronze tripod could be used as a cover.

The young man clasped his fists towards Lin Fan again, and said gratefully, "Thank you, Young Master Lin, for your guidance! I am Wang Tianming, the son of the Chuzhou General. If you need me in the future, please let me know."

The General Zhechou held a high position in Beimang and was in charge of the military of an entire state. However, Wang Tianming's background was questionable. He was not the General Zhechou's legitimate son, and his biological mother was just a concubine in the Zhechou mansion.

Both his status and resources were very low, and his own talent was not amazing.

This time, he was able to enter Dongshan because of the opportunity his mother had sought so hard. If he returned to Chuzhou without achieving anything, his and his mother's life would definitely become more difficult.

But at this moment, Wang Tianming's eyes were shining brightly, and the box in his arms was the key to changing his destiny!

When the people around saw that Lin Fan and the young man had delivered the goods, their faces changed drastically. They didn't expect that there was really a treasure buried underground.

Some people were impatient and wanted to go over and dig out something, but were stopped by the people next to them.

The man glared at the bronze tripod in Wang Tianming's hand, licked his lips and said greedily, "Since someone helped us dig out the treasure, how can we not accept it?"

Just as Lin Fan expected, Wang Tianming was weak, but now he was carrying a treasure. He was like a three-year-old child walking in a busy city with gold bricks, and became a fat sheep in the eyes of others.

"Boom boom boom!"

A series of muffled sounds came from the underground tunnel. Lin Fan grabbed the two people beside him with one hand each and fled away at a rapid speed.

Xiao Chang and Wang Tianming were both unable to react. When they opened their eyes again, they were already dozens of meters away.

When they looked at the place again, they saw countless gray-white miasma rushing out from the ground. It was foul air that had accumulated for hundreds of years, and the cold and gloomy air in it was extremely terrifying.

Those who were about to attack Wang Tianming had just rushed to the mound, but before they could react, they were covered by the overwhelming miasma and screams were heard everywhere.

The screams of those people lasted only a few seconds before they died down. They were completely dead.

Lin Fan waved his hand lightly, and a gust of wind blew away the miasma. There were only a few dry and pale corpses on the pile of earth, as if they had been buried in an ice cave for a long time. They were the people from before.

When Xiao Chang saw the dead bodies, he shuddered all over. If Lin Fan hadn't rescued him, his fate would have been no different from those corpses on the ground.

Wang Tianming's reaction was even stronger. When he thought about how he had just brushed past death, his legs began to tremble uncontrollably and he dared not move forward.

Lin Fan saw what he was thinking and said, "There are dangers lurking everywhere underground. The elixir in that box is quite good, one of the most valuable treasures in the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum. Since you've already found it, there's no point in continuing to explore. You should just go down the mountain and leave Orange Island."

Wang Tianming bowed deeply to Lin Fan and said with heartfelt gratitude, "I will never forget this kindness. If you need me in the future, I will be willing to brave all the hardships!"

Lin Fan nodded calmly, then led Xiao Chang into the underground tunnel. A rolling cold air hit them in the face, as if they were in a cold cave, and the temperature around them dropped rapidly.

"It's a little more troublesome than I thought. Something is stirring inside."

Lin Fan raised his brows slightly, and an inexplicable look flashed in his eyes.
