Searching for an ancient tomb in the vast mountains, but the only clue is this incomplete code word, the difficulty can be imagined.

Wang Kaixuan said immediately.

"You didn't say it was so difficult before, no, you have to pay more!"

"After finding the ancient tomb, there must be at least one treasure for each person. This is the bottom line, and it is not negotiable!"

Professor Sun is a scholar, when he met this rambunctious bastard, he couldn't help but look at Ji Changsheng for help.

"Mr. Ji, the things in the tomb are all precious cultural relics, this..."

Ji Changsheng smiled faintly and said.

"I don't dare to be interested in other cultural relics, only the Dragon Bone Book of Heaven must be shown to me."

Professor Sun breathed a sigh of relief and nodded quickly.

"It's okay to watch it for a while, but after watching it, please hand it over to the country."

Seeing Ji Changsheng's words, Wang Kaixuan didn't dare to pester her any longer, but thought in his heart that after finding the ancient tomb and secretly taking a few treasures, no one should pay attention.

After thinking about it, Hu Bayi said.

"Although there are not many clues, at least there is a clue. Find Qingxi Town first. There should be more clues there."

After everyone agreed, they went back to their rooms to rest.

After resting overnight, the team set off for Wushan early the next morning.

Wushan is a remote southwest county, surrounded by mountains, with large mountains and few people, and traffic is blocked.

Everyone first took a bus, and after getting off the expressway, they changed to a long-distance bus.

After more than eight hours of turbulence, I finally entered Wushan at around five o'clock in the afternoon.

The crowd did not go to the county seat, but got off the car in a small town, which is the closest to Wu Gorge.

There are only more than 1 local residents in the town. Since it is the only way to Wu Gorge, many tour groups stop here. There are many guests, but it is quite prosperous.

Looking up, I saw shops selling small commodities on both sides of the street, as well as some restaurants and inns. The endless stream of tourists brought great business opportunities to the town.

In order to attract tourists, the houses in the town have undergone unified planning and renovation. They are all in the style of antique old houses. There is no modern building. At first glance, it seems to have returned to 100 years ago.

After exploring the streets, everyone found a clean restaurant for dinner.

When ordering food, Hu Bayi and the shopkeeper chatted with each other without saying a word, and handed over a hundred-yuan bill as a tip.

The shopkeeper saw that he was generous in his spending and his conversation was extraordinary, so he decided that he was a rich boss. He was very enthusiastic and knew everything, and introduced the local customs and customs in detail.

After the boss left, Professor Sun said.

"Mr. Hu, our visit to the ancient tomb this time is a private act, so let's keep a low profile."

Hu Bayi smiled and said.

"Old Sun, you are a high-level intellectual, you have spent your whole life in the office, and you don't know the tricks of the world."

It turned out that what he did just now was not to pretend to be a grandson, but to get some words out of the boss.

The profession of Daodou is the same as that of Chinese medicine. It pays attention to the four words of looking, hearing, asking and cutting, but the meaning is different.

The question in it is to inquire about news, which is called "picking up tongue leaks".

Wherever there is a large tomb, there will probably be some relevant legends and stories. Finding the locals to pick up tongue leaks can often lead to useful clues.

When Professor Sun heard this, he showed a look of admiration.

"As expected of Captain Mojin, what did you ask?"

Hu Bayi shook his head.

"Qingxi Town ceased to exist more than 70 years ago. Only people over 90 years old know about it. After eating, let's go around the streets and see if we can find someone who knows."

When everyone heard this, they all felt that hope was getting slimmer. Old people in their 90s were hard to find, and even if they were found, they might not be able to provide useful clues.

But right now there is no other way but to try.

After eating, everyone came to the street, it was already seven o'clock in the evening.

As night fell and the lights came on, the streets were full of tourists who came out for a walk after dinner.

Everyone walked all the way, observing each shop carefully, and when they saw elderly people, they went up to talk to them.

But after walking half a street, there was nothing to gain.

Just when Wang Kaixuan was about to complain, Hu Bayi's eyes lit up suddenly, and he pointed.

"There are probably clues there!"

Others looked in the direction they pointed, but saw a deserted shop in the distance, with a wine gourd hanging at the door, like a wine shop selling wine.

Wang Kaixuan asked curiously.

"Commander Hu, how do you know there are clues there? Is there anything different about this liquor store?"

Hu Bayi smiled slightly, without explaining.

"Go and see and you will know."

Everyone came to the shop immediately and looked up.

This shop is very big, and there is a small antique flag hanging at the door, which says "daily necessities". It turned out to be a grocery store.

Look at the wine gourd again, it is very different from ordinary gourds, the surface is covered with large and small holes, full of holes.

Wang Kaixuan couldn't help asking.

"This gourd has been tied into a hornet's nest, so it must not be able to hold wine. What's the purpose of hanging it at the door?"

Before Hu Bayi answered, Shirley Yang's eyes lit up and she said with a smile.

"Old Hu, you are right, there may be some clues here."

After speaking, the two looked at each other and smiled, and walked in.

Wang Kaixuan muttered dissatisfiedly behind.

"When you have a woman, you forget about your brother. You really forget your righteousness!"

Everyone came to the store together, the space inside is quite large, there are a variety of goods on several large containers, including daily groceries, everything that one expects to find.

It's just that the shop is very deserted. Besides them, there is only one old man dozing off behind the counter.

This old man has a chicken skin and a crane head. He looks at least 80 years old.

Hu Bayi stepped forward and said softly.

"The shopkeeper, there are customers."

Only then did the old man raise his head, rubbed his sleepy eyes, and said casually.

"Whatever you want, let's see for yourself."

After Hu Bayi looked at the goods on the shelf, he smiled lightly.

"Old man, I want three catties of brown sugar, nine sticks of white wax, a stack of yellow paper, and two pieces of red string that are three feet long and soaked in cinnabar."

As soon as these words came out, the old man's expression was slightly shocked, he looked up and down these people, and then said.

"Except for the red rope, there are other containers, the guests can get it by themselves."

Hu Bayi shook his head.

"It's not polite to do it yourself, the shopkeeper will bring it to me in person."

When the old man heard this, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he said in disbelief.

"Where is this guest from? What's the family name?"

When Wang Kaixuan heard this, he felt that this was a bit strange. Instead of directly asking what other people's surnames were, he asked what the family's surnames were. Is there anyone who asks such a question?
Hu Bayi gave Shirley Yang a look.

Shirley Yang stepped forward immediately and said slowly.

"Tea is famous among mountain guests, and guests from all over the world are welcome at the door. They are all from the mountains, so why ask Miaogen."

Only then did the old man show a joyful look, stood up and waved his hands.

"Everyone, please come inside!"
