Just one day ago, Ji Changsheng informed Wuxie and Fatty to go to Guilin, Guangxi, and told them that the destination this time was Banai, but he did not say anything about the ancient building.

When Huo Xiangu mentioned the Banai Ancient Building, Fatty and Wuxie were stunned.

"What ancient building?"

Huo Xiangu glanced at them and smiled faintly.

"It seems that Mr. Ji has not told you the destination of this trip."

"It doesn't matter. I asked you to come this time. In addition to your marriage with Xiuxiu, I have something else to tell you."

Wuxie asked carefully.

"What is it?"

Huo Xiangu replied.

"You have been with Mr. Ji for several months. I heard that you are already his confidant."

"Please tell Mr. Ji that we are going to the same place. I have something to ask him."

Wuxie asked with some doubts.

"How do you know we are going to the same place?"

"What if it's not?"

Huo Xiangu smiled indifferently and looked at Fatty.

"A few months ago, I sent someone to the New Moon Hotel in Beijing to buy something, but this fat guy set the sky lantern on me."

"That thing fell into Mr. Ji's hands. From then on, I knew that Mr. Ji also wanted to go to that ancient building!"

Wu Xie and the fat guy looked at each other and asked again.

"We bought a lot of things that time. Which one do you mean?"

Only then did Huo Xiangu explain.

That thing was an ancient design drawing, which was said to be left by the Yangshi Lei family.

This drawing is the design drawing of the Banai Ancient Building!

The starting price at that time was 600,000, but before anyone else bid, it was bought by the fat guy at a sky-high price of 100 million.

It's not that Huo Xiangu can't come up with 100 million, but she knew that this thing was what Ji Changsheng wanted, so she didn't dare to fight for it, and could only watch the drawing fall into the hands of the fat guy.

But she didn't gain nothing. At least she knew the whereabouts of the drawing, and from then on she kept an eye on the whereabouts of Ji Changsheng and his group.

This time, when going to Banai, Guangxi, Ji Changsheng deliberately spread rumors to lure out the Wang family and launched a large-scale operation. He only needed to write the words "I'm going to Banai" on his face.

Huo Xiangu easily found out their whereabouts and took a special plane to Guilin in advance to wait for Wuxie.

After hearing this, Wuxie suddenly realized, but there were still some things he couldn't figure out.

"Why do you want to go to that ancient building?"

"What is the use of this design drawing?"

Huo Xiangu answered the second question first.

"The ancient building was designed by the Yangshi Lei family. They were royal architects hundreds of years ago, and their mechanism skills are the best in the world!"

"The ancient building is full of mechanisms and dangers. If you rush in, you will die without a burial place!"

"Only by relying on the design drawings of that year can you avoid the mechanisms and enter the ancient building smoothly."

When the fat man heard this, he immediately showed a disdainful expression.

"What the world's best mechanical technology, I think it's all just bragging."

"I don't know how many times more dangerous the places I've been to, I can walk through the dragon's den and tiger's lair without any damage!"

"Even if there are no blueprints, I can still kill seven in and seven out!"

Huo Xiuxiu next to him immediately showed a look of contempt and said.

"You brag without a draft paper, and you talk nonsense!"

The fat man was immediately dissatisfied.

"Do you know the Xisha Undersea Tomb, the Cloud Palace, and the Snake Swamp Ghost City?"

"I've been to all those places."

"You little girl is ignorant, and I won't bother with you because you are my naive wife."

Huo Xiuxiu laughed and said.

"If it weren't for Mr. Ji, you might not have a hair left."

When these words came out, the fat man seemed to have an egg stuffed in his mouth. No matter how thick-skinned he was, he couldn't brag anymore.

Huo Xiangu laughed.

"Even Mr. Ji paid a lot of money to buy the design drawings, which shows how dangerous the ancient building is."

"Our Huo family made a fortune by robbing tombs. We have not lost our skills in this area, so we are half experts."

"But if there are no drawings, I dare not rush in."

"So, I want to ask Mr. Ji to take me in."

Wu Xie thought about it and nodded.

"I can go and tell Mr. Ji, but why do you want to go there?"

"If this is not made clear, Mr. Ji probably won't agree."

He knew Ji Changsheng's temper very well. Anything that Ji Changsheng took a fancy to, no one else was allowed to interfere!

Huo Xiangu's face dimmed, sighed, and replied.

"Please tell Mr. Ji that I have no other purpose in going there, just to find someone."

"No matter what is in the ancient building, I will not touch it, it all belongs to Mr. Ji."

Wu Xie couldn't help asking one more question.

"Who is so important?"

Seeing this, Huo Xiuxiu quickly answered for her grandmother.

"It's my aunt, her name is Huo Ling."

"More than 20 years ago, she went to the Banai Ancient Building and disappeared."

"We believe that there must be important clues in that ancient building."

Wu Xie finally understood what was going on. It seemed that Huo Xiangu had been looking for her daughter for many years. This reason made him unable to refuse.

"Okay, then I'll talk to Mr. Ji, but I can't guarantee whether he will agree."

As he said that, he called Ji Changsheng.

After hearing the whole story on the phone, Ji Changsheng was not surprised at all. He had known what Huo Xiangu was going to do.

He did not agree directly to the Huo family's request, but asked Huo Xiangu to talk to him directly.

Huo Xiangu had heard of Ji Changsheng's name a long time ago, and had been thinking about how to climb this big tree. Today was her first time to talk directly with Ji Changsheng, and she seemed very excited.

"Mr. Ji, hello..."

Ji Changsheng interrupted her and said.

"I know you have been looking for Huo Ling's whereabouts. You don't have to go to Banai. I know where Huo Ling is."

When these words came out, Huo Xiangu was stunned at first, and then she was very excited, her hands were shaking.

"Really! That... That's great!"

"Mr. Ji, can you tell me Ling'er's whereabouts?"

Ji Changsheng's tone seemed a little heavy.

"Please be prepared, I'm not going to tell you good news."

Huo Xiangu is an old man over 80 years old, with rich life experience. When she heard this, her heart skipped a beat.

A bad premonition came to my mind.

"Please tell me, I can handle it."

Ji Changsheng said after a slight hesitation.

"More than 20 years ago, she was no longer alive. Her body is in a sanatorium in Golmud, Qinghai."

More than 20 years ago, Huo Ling had become a forbidden woman and was no longer a human being.

Ji Changsheng was not lying. It was just that he was beheaded by the young man not long ago and left this world completely.

Although Huo Xiangu was mentally prepared, she still felt a black screen in front of her eyes and almost fainted.
