The middle-aged man took the small wooden token and ran away happily. Another person ran over and paid their respects to Earth Lord. Soon, they received a small wooden token with a map engraved on it.
"This Earth Lord sure is magical!" Li Xuan's eyes widened.
Wang Lu said with a smile, "Although Earth Lord doesn't have a high status among the immortals, his abilities aren't weak. He knows everything that happens in the land under his jurisdiction. He also knows what good things are buried underground. He also knows where there are dangers and taboos. It can be said that he's omniscient and omnipotent in an area. In ancient times, Earth Lord had another name — Kitchen God. That was a true god with a very honorable status. "
The three of them weren't in a hurry. After the people were done paying their respects, Li Xuan walked to the statue of Earth Lord and knelt down with a plop. He kowtowed.
Indeed, Li Xuan also obtained a small wooden token.
"Gentlemen, how is it? Do you regret not being born in Luoyang?" Li Xuan flaunted the wooden token to the two of them.
"Earth Lord is the most benevolent. If I beg him, he might give me a map?" As Wang Lu spoke, she walked to the statue of Earth Lord and bowed slightly. Then, she said, "Earth Lord is benevolent. Please give me a map as well."
"If begging is useful, what's the point of having a household register? Besides, you are too insincere. You don't even kowtow. What's the use of just paying your respects … Ah … "Li Xuan curled his lips, but just as he finished speaking, he saw a small wooden token grow out of the ground. He immediately gaped, speechless.
Wang Lu happily took the wooden token and said to Zhou Wen, "Why don't you take a look as well? Who knows, Earth Lord might be benevolent and give you a map?"
Zhou Wen thought about it and realized that it made sense. After all, he was born in Guide City, which wasn't far from Luoyang. Perhaps this Earth Lord's area of control was relatively large, allowing him to control them?
Even without a map, there was nothing to lose by paying his respects.
Zhou Wen mimicked Wang Lu and came in front of Earth Lord's statue. He pressed his palms together and bowed slightly at the statue.
"It's fine if Wang Lu's luck is good, but I don't believe that you can get the map like this," Li Xuan said.
Just as Zhou Wen bowed, he suddenly heard the sound of rocks rubbing against each other. He saw the statue of Earth Lord move three feet horizontally.
"What's going on?" Li Xuan's eyes widened as Wang Lu wore a look of surprise.
Zhou Wen didn't know what was going on, but when he saw a wooden plaque grow out of the ground, he reached out to pick it up.
"Looks like the Lord of the Land thinks that I'm a good person, so he gave me a map." Zhou Wen took the wooden plaque and said to Li Xuan with a smile, "From the looks of it, your Luoyang household registration isn't of much use."
"What the hell." Li Xuan looked at the Earth Lord statue that had moved three feet horizontally and was alarmed.
No matter how he looked at it, it seemed like the Earth Lord statue didn't dare accept Zhou Wen's bow, so it moved away.
Wang Lu also sized up the Earth Lord statue and Zhou Wen in puzzlement. Clearly, she was puzzled.
The three of them left the Earth Lord temple and were just about to head to the main hall to take a look when they saw a group of soldiers enter the Town God's Temple. They told them that the area had been sealed by the military and that they were to leave in an orderly manner.
The three of them had no choice but to leave the Town God's Temple. Li Xuan looked at the wooden plaque in his hand and saw that the map on it was very general. It was only a rough map of the rivers and mountains. Then, he pointed a red dot to mark the location of the treasure.
If one wasn't a Luoyang local and was familiar with the Luoyang area, it would probably be difficult for them to find the location marked on the map.
"You definitely won't be able to tell the location marked on the map. Let me help you take a look," Li Xuan said to Zhou Wen and Wang Lu.
Zhou Wen and Wang Lu handed him the wooden plaque. Li Xuan was really well-versed in the area, so he quickly helped them find the location. Furthermore, he marked it on the map on his phone, making it convenient for them to search for treasures.
"Are we going to dig for treasures together or separately?" Li Xuan asked.
"Let's go together. These places require us to leave the city. It's safer to go together," Zhou Wen said.
"Alright, mine is the closest. Let's dig for mine first," Li Xuan said as he summoned his Companion Beast mount.
Zhou Wen could only ride White Shadow of Poison, but it looked a little strange in broad daylight. As for Li Xuan's ox-type mount, it was relatively large, so it was perfect for Zhou Wen.
Wang Lu summoned her tiger and followed behind on it.
The three of them passed through the city, attracting the envious gazes of many ordinary citizens.
After leaving the city, Li Xuan dug for quite a while in a small forest in the suburbs. He dug out a hole that was four to five meters deep and finally found something.
It was a ceramic jar that looked like it had been buried for years. Li Xuan hugged the jar and said excitedly, "Could it be gold hidden by the ancients?"
"It's possible. There might even be jewelry. Quick, open it." Zhou Wen was also somewhat curious as he urged Li Xuan to open it.
Li Xuan didn't hesitate as he opened the jar. He saw that it was filled with copper coins that were already rusted beyond recognition. He took out one and squeezed it. The copper coin shattered due to the corrosion.
How did this happen? Li Xuan was extremely depressed.
"Don't damage it. Those copper coins should be antiques, right?" Zhou Wen said.
"Antiques are valuable in peaceful times, but in such an era, who would spend money to buy antiques? Those who have money would buy dimensional crystals and Companion Eggs. Besides, the quality of these copper coins is too poor. They're almost out of shape, "Li Xuan said.
However, it was still a harvest. Li Xuan put the jar into his bag. The jar wasn't big, so it fit into his backpack.
Next, they dug up Wang Lu's treasure map. Her treasure map wasn't far from here. With Li Xuan, a local expert, following them, the three of them quickly arrived at their destination.
It was beside a small stream. Wang Lu flipped the pebbles a few times and immediately discovered a gem the size of a longan. It was crystalline like a cat's eye.
"How beautiful." Wang Lu liked it very much. She washed it in the stream and played with it in her hand.
Zhou Wen's location on the map was in the forest beside the mountainous area. The three of them walked more than five kilometers before arriving. Furthermore, there were dimensional zones nearby, so the three of them walked rather carefully. They even deliberately circled around and avoided a dimensional zone.
"It's here," Li Xuan said as he pointed at a patch of grass after checking the map.
When Zhou Wen saw that there were only some weeds and nothing else, he prepared to dig for treasures to see what he could dig up.
To his surprise, just as Zhou Wen approached, white smoke suddenly spewed out from the grass. It gave the trio a fright as they couldn't help but retreat and stare warily at the spot where the white smoke was emitting.
