In the beginning, it was out of selfishness. They wanted to find those antiques and sell them for money. However, some people who knew the law knew that it was illegal to steal antiques and rob tombs, so they directly told the government about it. Afterwards, the government sent an archeological team here.
Although they didn't try to hide it, they didn't publicize it either, so only a few people knew about it.
Gu Ning used her Jade Eyes to check the underground and inside the mountain along the way. Although Su Anyun and the others might have already found this path, their naked eyes couldn't compare with Gu Ning's Jade Eyes. Even if they couldn't find it, it didn't mean that it didn't exist.
Gu Ning didn't come here to find Su Anyun and the others, but to find the tombs herself. Therefore, Gu Ning didn't care where Su Anyun and the others were. However, she still needed to be careful in case she ran into them.
The mountains here weren't very high, and there were only a few that were a thousand meters above sea level. Most of the hills were hundreds of meters above sea level, but they were either covered with grass or rocks, so it wasn't easy to walk on them.
However, it didn't hinder Gu Ning at all.
After walking for about an hour, they walked around a hill, but didn't find any traces of a cave or a tomb, so they continued to walk forward.
Two hours later, three hours later, they still didn't find anything.
When they entered a mountain, they didn't walk far before they heard someone talking, but they were a little far away, so Gu Ning couldn't hear what they were talking about.
Gu Ning used her Jade Eyes and saw a group of around 20 people on the other side of the mountain. They were scattered and searching underground. Some of them were also scanning the ground with instruments.
Although Gu Ning had her Jade Eyes, she still couldn't find it at a glance. Although she didn't need to search inch by inch, she still needed to search piece by piece. Luckily, the area she could see was ten times wider than theirs, and her speed was ten times faster.
Since she knew that they were there, Gu Ning wouldn't go there, so she turned in the opposite direction.
It wasn't early when Gu Ning came to Nanshui Village, and it was winter now, so it got dark before long.
Deep in the mountains, it was not safe at night. There would be snakes, insects, rats, and ants. Therefore, after the sky turned dark, Su Anyun and the others did not continue to search. Instead, they found a slightly spacious place to set up camp, and then took precautions against snakes, insects, rats, and ants.
Gu Ning, on the other hand, continued her search. With the help of the Jade Eyes, her night vision was not hindered at all.
As for snakes, insects, rats, and ants, if she was accidentally bitten, she would be fine as long as she circulated her spiritual energy.
Gu Ning came to another mountain and continued to search for the tomb. Before she could find the tomb, she heard soft voices not far ahead.
"Li Maosong, you killed my brother. Today, I will avenge him."
Hearing Li Maosong's name, Gu Ning was surprised. She immediately used her Jade Eyes.
It was really them. They were Li Maosong, Sun Chao, Zhao Jiangquan, and Guo Yiyang, whom he had met in the ancient tomb last time.
What a coincidence!
Gu Ning wasn't very surprised, because they were gravediggers after all. They spent most of their time searching for tombs, so it wasn't strange that they came here after hearing the news.
However, there were not only Li Maosong and his friends, but also six other men. They were standing opposite to Li Maosong and his friends, and both of them were displeased. Especially the man standing at the front of the group of six. His face was filled with hatred and killing intent as he glared at Li Maosong.
"Du Shouyang, I told you that we didn't kill our third brother. He was greedy for money and didn't listen to our advice. He rushed into the tomb and was killed by a zongzi," Sun Chao argued in anger. They were unwilling to be the scapegoat.
Hearing that, Gu Ning understood that the man named Du Shouyang was the younger brother of Du Shouming, the third brother of Li Maosong and his friends who had just died.
Gu Ning slowly walked over. Although she had only met Li Maosong and his friends by chance, they had been through thick and thin together, so she couldn't ignore it. If they were in danger, she would help them.
"Zongzi? Ha! Do you think I'll believe your nonsense? I think you killed him because you were afraid that he would share your treasures. "Du Shouyang didn't believe in the existence of Zongzi at all.
"Believe it or not, we didn't kill our third brother," Zhao Jiangquan said.
"It doesn't matter whether I believe it or not, because you're all going to die today." Du Shouyang's eyes were more and more vicious. Saying that, he pulled out a gun from his waist and pointed it at Li Maosong first.
Seeing that, Li Maosong and his friends were scared and stepped back out of reflex. Their faces turned pale in an instant, and their eyes were full of vigilance and fear.
Gu Ning was also annoyed. She was worried that the gun would fire at any time, so Gu Ning didn't dare to waste a second, and ran out at once.
Luckily, Gu Ning was already four or five meters away from them, so within two seconds, Gu Ning came to Du Shouyang's side. She grabbed his hand and twisted it. The others only saw a black shadow flashing by, but before they could see clearly what was going on, they heard a loud sound followed by a cry of pain.
Their hearts skipped a beat, and they were all shocked when they saw what had happened.
Du Shouyang grasped his right wrist in pain, but the gun in his hand was already gone, and there was a girl beside him with a gun in her hand.
"You …" Everyone looked at Gu Ning in shock and fear.
How did this girl do it? She was so fast that it seemed like a lightning strike, which wasn't something an ordinary person could do.
Is this girl a kung fu master?
Gu Ning was facing Li Maosong and his friends from the side, so they didn't recognize her. Gu Ning turned around to look at Li Maosong and his friends, and they immediately recognized her. They were both surprised and surprised.
"M-Miss Gu, Miss Gu, it's you!" Li Maosong shouted with excitement.
Since it was Gu Ning, it wasn't hard for them to believe what had just happened, because Gu Ning had killed the bats and the rice dumplings and saved their lives. In their eyes, Gu Ning wasn't only their savior, but also a kung fu master whom they admired.
"Miss Gu, it's really you!" The others were also surprised.
As for why Gu Ning was here, they already thought that she was their colleague, so they didn't doubt that Gu Ning was here.
"Uncle Li, Uncle Sun, Brother Zhao, Brother Guo, nice to meet you again!" Gu Ning greeted them. Li Maosong and Sun Chao were older than her mother, so she called them uncle, while Zhao Jiangquan and Guo Yiyang were younger than 30, but they called them older brothers.
Du Shouyang and his friends were scared when they saw that Gu Ning was Li Maosong's friend and she even had a gun in her hand.
