The Qinling Mountains are not as steep as the Huashan Mountains, but they are endless, with lush forests and leaves, and it is easy for people to lose their way.
In this vast mountain, if one loses one's direction, it is not alarmist to be trapped to death in the end.
The two had already driven for half a day, and the avenue under their feet turned into a narrow path. In the end, there was no way to go, and there were thorns and vines in front of them.
If Professor Qi came alone, it would have been difficult for him to move forward, but with Tang Zheng, everything became easier.
The Battle Soul Sword is overkill, and with one strike, the thorns retreated, and the two of them easily shuttled through the vast mountains, not a little bit faster than ordinary people.
boom!
Suddenly, a clear gunshot echoed in the mountains and forests, which was extremely ear-piercing. Professor Qi shrank his head, was startled, and exclaimed in a low voice: "There are enemies!"
Tang Zheng looked up in a daze, and in the distance, he saw a figure flickering among the dense forests, and the gunshots didn't stop, sporadic sporadic, shocking people.
"Tomb robber?" Professor Qi also stepped on his feet to look around, smacked his mouth, and asked.
"Ten times out of ten, these people really are desperadoes, they even have their guns ready." Tang Zheng sighed.
"Rampant!" Professor Qi scolded bitterly.
"Let's go, I haven't found any clues about those people anyway, since I met the tomb robbers, I'll follow the clues to see if I can find them." Tang Zheng suggested that Professor Qi is all right, saying: "Wait a while, make a move, ruthlessly." Teach these criminals a lesson."
Tang Zheng smiled, ignoring Professor Qi's bookishness.
After a while, the two passed through layers of obstacles and approached their destination.
The gunfire has stopped.
Tang Zheng and Professor Qi hid in the bushes, not far away was a group of ferocious desperadoes, many of them had guns in their hands, some had machetes and other murder weapons.
There were several corpses lying on the ground, and one leader, Scarface, kicked the people on the ground fiercely, spit, and cursed: "You group of shrimp soldiers and crab generals dare to come to get involved in that ancient tomb, hum, Seek your own death, I will send you to see Lord Hades first."
As soon as the voice fell, he raised the knife and dropped it, leaving a bloody gash on the opponent's neck. The man twitched a few times and died.
Professor Qi was startled and exclaimed in a low voice. The secret was not good, and he quickly covered his mouth, but it was too late, the enemy had already discovered the clue, and the scarred face shouted: "Who?"
The subordinates were already up and down, and they came to the bushes with their guns in hand. The black muzzle of the gun was aimed at the two of them.
"Boss, I caught two people. Stand up, don't move, if you dare to move, I will shoot you to death." The tomb robber roared fiercely.
Tang Zheng cast a consoling look at Professor Qi who was quite frightened, and the two stood up slowly.
Scarface walked over, glared at the two of them fiercely, his small thief-like eyes rolled away, pointed the machete in his hand at the two, and asked, "Who are you?"
"I..." Professor Qi wanted to speak, but was interrupted by Tang Zheng, "We are tourists. We heard that the Qinling Mountains here are beautiful, so we came to see them."
Tang Zheng had already carefully scanned this group of people, but he didn't find the tomb robbers he was looking for, which meant that they were not in the same group.
But the ancient tomb mentioned by Scarface just now aroused Tang Zheng's interest. Could it be that these tomb robbers also came for that ancient tomb
He was going to wait and see what happened, and follow the other party's words.
Seeing Tang Zheng's grand appearance, neither humble nor overbearing, he smiled viciously with his scarred face: "Boy, don't you think that I am a fool, trying to deceive us with such a clumsy lie? Hmph, you are daydreaming."
Tang Zheng didn't take it seriously, raised his eyebrows, and asked, "Oh, then what are you going to do?"
"What should we do? Hmph, you saw what we did just now, so of course I sent you to see King Yama too." Scarface said murderously.
Tang Zheng was unmoved, and said: "I have already met King Yama, and I don't want to see him today."
He was no stranger to King Yama when he fought against King Yama in the ghost world.
The others laughed sarcastically after hearing this: "This kid was scared to death, boss, he just killed him, we still have business to do."
Tang Zheng turned a deaf ear and asked, "Where is the ancient tomb you mentioned?"
"Fuck, I'm the one who asked you. How dare you ask me, damn it, are you really not afraid of death? Then I will help you." Scarface swung the machete.
Tang Zheng frowned, this group of people didn't cooperate, it seemed like they were going to use force.
bang bang bang...
However, a series of intense gunshots interrupted his thoughts. Scarface was shot between the eyebrows, blood flowed out, his eyes widened, and he fell to the ground with his eyes wide open.
The others were beaten up by the sudden attack, but in the end they still couldn't escape the scythe of death, and fell to the ground to die. On the contrary, Tang Zheng and Professor Qi stood where they were safe and sound.
Tang Zheng's expression was composed, Professor Qi's face was pale with fright when he saw so many dead people.
"Professor Qi, with me, don't be afraid." Tang Zheng comforted softly. After hearing this, Professor Qi's violently trembling body stopped slightly.
"Who is it again?" Professor Qi asked timidly.
"Of course they will know when they come out." Tang Zheng said nonchalantly, in this hail of bullets, it would not be difficult for him to escape. But he didn't want to reveal his strength right away, moreover, the group who attacked suddenly was stronger, he wanted to see who the hell was.
There were rustling footsteps in the woods, and more than a dozen people came out.
Tang Zheng's pupils shrank suddenly, and he was secretly happy that the target had appeared.
He found the tomb robbers he was following in the crowd, but they were obviously not leaders, and one of them, an old man in his fifties with a goatee, caught Tang Zheng's attention.
Because, he is very different from other people. Everyone else has a strong Yin Qi, but he is the same as ordinary people, and there is no Yin Qi at all.
However, the occasional fierce light in his eyes still made Tang Zheng judge that this man was not an ordinary person, the so-called biting dog doesn't bark, this old man is that biting dog.
Much more powerful than other seemingly vicious people.
"This man seems to be the leader of the tomb robbers, but he doesn't have Yin Qi. How can a person who has been digging into the tomb for many years not be haunted by Yin Qi? Does this old man have a way to resolve it?"
Enough to dispel Yin Qi, this is extremely unusual, Tang Zheng put away his underestimation.
The tomb robbers surrounded them, and more than a dozen guns were pointed at the two of them. One of the grave robbers whispered something in the old man's ear. The old man showed surprise, and his eyes passed Tang Zheng, and turned around on Professor Qi.
Huh
Tang Zheng glanced at the other party curiously. The person who whispered to other people in the hotel was also the tomb robber just now. Could it be that he really discovered something
The old man came straight over, looked at Professor Qi with burning eyes, and said: "The famous Professor Qi Shaowen is here, what a surprise!"
ah!
Professor Qi let out an exclamation, and the other party actually saw through his identity, which was... so unexpected.
Tang Zheng suddenly realized that it was no wonder that the tomb robbers in the hotel had escaped. It turned out that someone among them had seen through the identity of Professor Qi. Professor Qi was the Big Dipper of the archaeological world, and it was not too unusual for the tomb robbers to recognize him.
Because of Professor Qi's prominent status, the tomb robbers must have regarded him as an official, thinking that the police had already spotted them, so they ran away without stopping.
Seeing that Professor Qi was so surprised, the old man looked around and shouted: "Friends from the police, are you trying to arrest my second son Wu? Then please show up, what's the point of hiding?"
There was no response in the dense forest, Wu Er Er frowned, and said, "Could it be that you just showed up when you were about to see blood? Professor Qi is the Big Dipper of the archaeological world. If he makes any mistakes, you can't afford to worry about it." Walk."
Still no response.
Professor Qi shouted, "What nonsense are you talking about? Where did the police come from?"
Huh
Second Wu stroked his goatee and said with flickering eyes, "So you are acting alone?"
"Why do we act alone, we are two people." Professor Qi said angrily.
Second Wu glanced at Tang Zheng, and said, "Would it be of much use to lead a student?"
Obviously, he regarded Tang Zheng as an ordinary student. In fact, when Tang Zheng was quiet, he really had a bookish air, and it was not surprising that Wu Er Er was mistaken.
Professor Qi blushed and said, "What's the matter with two people? Facing you group of tomb robbers, two people are enough."
"Hahaha… "
A group of people laughed unscrupulously, looking at Professor Qi as if they were fools.
Tang Zheng has been watching with cold eyes, this second Wu is not simple, he is ready to attack, wipe out this group of people, and then ask about the whereabouts of the ancient tomb.
"Professor Qi, you have been following all the way, you must have heard the wind, right? Hehe, you came at the right time. This time, God helped me. I didn't enter the center of the ancient tomb last time. This time, with you, we have another With such thorough preparations, it will definitely be a success." Wu Laoer changed the subject and said mysteriously.
"What do you mean?" Professor Qi asked solemnly.
"Of course I recruited you to join the gang. Professor Qi, with your knowledge, how about I share 10% of your profits after the matter is completed? This is much more money than doing research." Wu'er Er said seductively.
Professor Qi was furious. This was simply a humiliation to him. He did research to inherit Chinese culture, not for money.
This group of people is tarnishing his character.
He was about to yell loudly, but Tang Zheng grabbed his hand and said, "Professor Qi, 10% of the profit is quite a lot. Aren't we short of research funding? Isn't this solving our problem?"
While talking, he blinked at Professor Qi secretly.
"Haha, your student is a smart person, and one who understands current affairs is a gentleman. Who in this society can't live with money." Wu Er Er said approvingly.
Professor Qi wasn't an idiot either, he immediately understood Tang Zheng was going to pretend to be a gangster, and then follow them into the ancient tomb.
Professor Qi is not a pedantic person, and besides having Tang Zheng as his companion, he is also quite courageous. He took a deep breath and said as if forced to say: "Okay, but 10% is not enough, 20%!"
"Okay, it's a deal!" Wu Er Er agreed without blinking, sneering in his heart, after the matter is completed, you will die, and you want 20%, huh, dreaming!
