The group of people glared at Tang Zheng and Professor Qi as if they were lambs waiting to be slaughtered. They wanted to say a few words to keep up appearances, but Tang Zheng did not give them a chance.
Like a fierce tiger coming down the mountain, he rushed into the crowd with a whoosh. With a raise of his hand and a fall of his fist, one by one, they immediately turned into pig heads. Tang Zheng pulled Professor Qi up and shouted, "Let's go!"
The two of them swaggered out of the room, leaving only a mess in the room and the woman who was sitting on the bed dumbfounded.
Where are they?
However, when the two of them came downstairs, they found that the grave robber's car was gone. Without a doubt, the other party must have noticed something and slipped away without stopping.
Professor Qi was dumbfounded. It was as if a basin of ice water had been poured over his head. His enthusiasm turned to nothing.
He stomped his feet in hatred and said regretfully, "It's all my fault. Why should I be so kind? Now that the person and the car are gone, how am I supposed to follow them?"
Tang Zheng's face was sullen as he looked around. Suddenly, he narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at a sneaky person in the distance.
He strode over. The other party immediately wanted to hide behind the counter, but in the end, Tang Zheng dragged him out.
"Boss, you were the one who led the people upstairs, right?" Tang Zheng asked with a fake smile.
8≤，
The boss was so scared that he trembled. He had secretly run upstairs to take a look. When he saw the defeated soldiers wailing on the ground, his blood almost froze.
He knew that this time, he had kicked an iron plate. The other party was not a harmless lamb, but a fierce dragon crossing the river.
He had been running this hotel for quite some time. He served people according to their needs and occasionally used unskilled methods like badger jumping to extort tourists. It was a tried and tested method.
He did not expect to fail miserably this time.
"Sir, I don't know what you're talking about." The boss pretended to be confused and shook his head.
Slap!
Half of the boss's face immediately swelled up. Seeing that Tang Tang Zheng was about to slap him again, the boss was so scared that he shouted, "I'll tell you, I'll tell you everything. It's my fault this time. I shouldn't have hurt you. I'm a bastard …"
Tang Zheng hurriedly stopped his endless nonsense and asked straightforwardly, "Where did that group of people go?"
The boss shrunk his neck and stuttered.
Tang Zheng glared at him. The man was so scared that he spilled the beans. "They went west."
"West?"
Tang Zheng looked at the dark road ahead. There were many cars on it. Looking for the three cars in the dark was like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Professor Qi was filled with regret and hatred. He looked into the distance, his lips twitching.
Tang Zheng also frowned. Without a direction, this group of people would completely lose track of them. How would they find the ancient tomb then?
Seeing that Tang Zheng was silent, the boss was afraid that he would vent his anger on him, so he reminded him, "So you're looking for those people. They're not easy to deal with."
Huh?
Tang Zheng moved his head and asked, "Do you know them?"
"No, I don't." The boss hurriedly shook his head. "But they used to live here. I can tell they're not easy to deal with. Also, they have a smell on them."
"Smell? What smell?" Tang Zheng asked curiously.
The boss stuck out his tongue and said in surprise, "The smell of death!"
Huh?
Tang Zheng was suddenly curious. He could see that the Yin energy on those people was very strong, but he did not smell the smell of death.
Seeing that Tang Zheng was very interested, the boss wanted to make up for his mistake and said, "People in that line of work all have that smell. Normal people can't smell it, but I've been here for so many years. I've met who knows how many groups of people like this. I've long known them."
"Oh, what do you think they do?"
"Excavators." The boss smiled slyly.
Tombstone was also a tomb robber. This boss really had some experience.
"Then do you know where they went? If you can tell me, then I'll let you go. Otherwise, hmph, I'll make sure you spend the rest of your life in a wheelchair. "
"Yes!" The boss was convinced. "I'll tell you. They went to Qinling."
"Qinling?"
"Yes, there are many ancient tombs there. It's simply a paradise for these people. Who knows how many people go there every year. Moreover, many people have poured out treasures from there."
Professor Qi's eyes lit up when he heard the two words' Qinling '. He slapped his head and said, "Why didn't we think that they went in that direction? It must be Qinling. Since they said there's a huge ancient tomb, then Qinling fits the description. "
Tang Zheng knew little about this. Seeing that Professor Qi was so certain, he believed him. He asked the boss with a cold face, "Qinling is so big. Do you know where they went?"
The boss said with a bitter face, "How would I know? If I had the ability, I'd be excavating too."
"You still want to excavate?" Tang Zheng was furious.
The boss knew that things were not going well. He cried out in panic, "I don't dare, I don't dare!" He paused for a moment, then added, "But recently, there have been a few groups of people going there. In the past, there weren't so many people at this time. They must have found something. You'll definitely find some clues if you go there."
Tang Zheng and Professor Qi looked at each other. Professor Qi nodded, apparently agreeing with this person's point of view.
Seeing this, the boss looked at Tang Zheng expectantly.
Tang Zheng threw him to the ground and fiercely said: "I'm warning you, if you dare to do this kind of thing in the future, your inn will be your end."
As soon as he finished speaking, the boss saw a ray of light shoot up into the sky and land on top of the hotel. Then, everything returned to normal.
He saw the two people get into a car and drive away.
The boss patted his chest with lingering fear and spat. He curled his lips and said, "You're scaring me? Do you think I'm scared? You're a dragon crossing the river, but there are always small shrimps. If I don't trick them, they'll have nothing to eat …"
The last word turned into a scream, but it was quickly drowned out by a loud rumbling sound.
The scream came to an abrupt end. He stared with a pair of dead fish eyes at everything in front of him. His mind was blank, and his whole body was trembling. It was as if there were countless swords hanging over his head.
The hotel collapsed. It was a mess. The group of big men were crying and screaming as they struggled to climb out of the ruins.
Since they had a destination, Tang Zheng and Professor Qi were not in a hurry. In order to save time, the two did not look for another hotel to stay. Instead, they drove straight to Qinling.
Qinling was a huge mountain range that stretched from east to west in the middle of Hua Xia. It was like a huge dragon lying on the earth of Hua Xia. It was also known as the dragon vein of Hua Xia civilization.
Along the way, Professor Qi tirelessly filled Tang Zheng in on the knowledge of the Qinling Mountains. There had always been many ancient and great tombs in Qinling.
However, due to the restrictions of the terrain, the mountains were too steep. There were also many unknown ancient tombs buried here. This caused the tomb robbers to run rampant. They even used gunpowder to open the mountains and blow up the tombs, destroying countless cultural relics.
Professor Qi sighed and said hatefully, "If we catch all these tomb robbers, it will definitely be a great merit for the inheritance of Hua Xia culture."
Tang Zheng did not comment. This was a whimsical idea. Human nature sought benefits and avoided harm. If there was profit, there would definitely be people who lost their humanity and took risks.
After more than a day of trekking, the undulating mountains gradually appeared in their sight. This mountain range was not as dangerous as Mount Hua, but it had another kind of charm. The undulating mountains were more shocking than the hundreds of thousands of mountains in southern Yunnan.
Professor Qi got out of the car, put his hands on his waist, and pointed at the mountains in the distance. He said, "Look, this is the dragon vein of Hua Xia. It's so beautiful!"
"Professor Qi, is there any basis for the dragon vein?" Tang Zheng asked on a whim.
"This is a ruling method of the ancient kings. They deliberately increased the mystery of Qinling. How can there be dragons in this world? Of course, there is no dragon vein," Professor Qi said firmly.
Dragon!
Tang Zheng immediately saw the flaw in Professor Qi's words. There were dragons in this world, so the dragon vein might not be a groundless rumor.
What exactly was a dragon vein?
Tang Zheng could not help but have this question in his mind.
But in the end, no one could answer this question.
Close to Qinling, there were many more villages, hotels, and restaurants. There were obviously more people. In recent years, the tourism industry had developed, and many explorers had come to conquer this mysterious mountain range.
Tang Zheng and Professor Qi decided to find a place to stay for the night and recharge their energy, especially Professor Qi. After all, he was old. After such a long journey, although he was still very excited on the surface, it was difficult to hide the deep fatigue between his brows.
Moreover, he could also use the rest time to inquire about the whereabouts of the grave robbers.
The two chose a hotel that seemed to be more reliable to stay in. After eating at the restaurant next door, Tang Zheng left Professor Qi to rest in the room and walked out.
However, this time, just in case, the two of them only booked a standard room. Tang Zheng could only endure Professor Qi's snoring for the time being.
Strolling through the village, Tang Zheng saw that there were quite a few foreigners. The inns and restaurants were filled with quite a few foreigners. Some of them were clearly backpackers, while others made Tang Zheng frown.
These people were more or less tainted with some Yin energy. Although they were dressed as backpackers, how could they escape Tang Zheng's sharp eyes?
He walked around the village vigilantly, but he did not find the group of grave robbers. However, he saw a few other groups of grave robbers.
This was really a paradise for grave robbers, a disaster area for Hua Xia civilization.
After a night of silence, Tang Zheng endured Professor Qi's bombardment. Professor Qi once again regained his vigor and kept urging Tang Zheng to quickly enter the mountain. Since the group of grave robbers was not in the village, then they must be impatient to enter the mountain.
If the grave robbers had arrived a step earlier, who knew how many cultural relics would have been destroyed.
