When the bald man heard that I was going to kill someone and dissect the body, he panicked: "Young man, let me explain! We really have hidden that thing. If you kill us, we will lose all trace of it! We didn't come here at all, did we? We didn't come here just to end up dead."

“We came here for the competition. The person who received the token should naturally return to the competition venue in Fengmen Village as soon as possible. Do you think I would believe your nonsense and think that you hid the token here?”

I didn't believe the bald man's nonsense at all: "I bet your stuff is hidden inside one of your bodies. If you don't want to tell me, I'll do it myself. If I lose the bet, I'll accept it!"

As soon as I finished speaking, I raised the arrow in my hand and made a gesture as if to stab the bald man in the neck.

"Don't!"

When the bald man saw me raise my hand, he finally panicked and replied breathlessly, "I confess! I did wrap the thing in the gibbon's intestines and hide it inside my body! I'll give it to you!"

Hearing the bald man say that, I gripped the spear tightly and unbuckled his belt at the same time: "Take out the thing, and I guarantee you'll live."

In this environment, any promise from a stranger is worthless. I knew very well that the bald man didn't believe me, but he had no choice but to comply.

The process of him retrieving the token was too disgusting to describe here.

After he opened up a section of his intestines, he took out a jade pendant and handed it to me: "This is the token we found in the tree."

I covered my palm with my clothes, took the jade pendant and glanced at it. The material was similar to the tokens we had received before, except that the pattern on it was not a dragon, but a creature that looked like an alligator snapping turtle lying on a rock.

The pattern is of Xuanwu, one of the Four Divine Beasts. Considering the tokens we received before, the thing Fengmen Village asked us to find this time should be the jade tablet corresponding to the Four Divine Beasts.

After his hands were tied again, the bald man looked at me pleadingly: "Brother, we only participated in this competition to enter Fengmen Village, and then we were planning to retire from this life of crime! You've seen it yourself, at our age, we have elderly parents and young children to support. If we die outside, our families will be completely ruined! I hope you can keep your promise and let us leave! I assure you, since you've taken this thing, I will never chase after it. I just want to live!"

I didn't respond to the bald man's words: "I overheard your conversation earlier and know that your purpose in entering Fengmen Village is to sell a batch of goods, is that right?"

Upon hearing this, the bald man's expression turned somewhat grim. After a brief hesitation, he said in a deep voice, "If you let us go, I can agree to give you this shipment!"

"Haha, what are you thinking?"

I smiled at the bald man: "I just wanted to tell you that you can sell your goods even without going into Fengmen Village."

The bald man was taken aback, seemingly not understanding what I meant.

I got straight to the point: "After you withdraw from the competition, you can go to Liulichang in Beijing and find Ding Mazi, the owner of Hongboxuan Antique Shop. Just say that you are friends introduced by Mr. Duan. He will definitely accept your items and give you a reasonable price!"

The bald man's companion looked at me warily: "Hey buddy, we've already handed over the token. You're not trying to set us up, are you?"

I was speechless: "With your IQs, how did you even get the tickets to Fengmen Village? You already promised to give me the stuff. If I wanted to scam you, why would I go through all this trouble? I just didn't want to take your stuff for free, so I showed you the way. If you don't believe me, then forget it!"

The bald man still couldn't believe it: "Our things are from the Wei and Jin Dynasties. Are you sure he would really dare to accept them?"

I was amused by their conversation: "The Wei and Jin dynasties are nothing but a joke. Judging from your appearance, I thought you had dug up Qin Shi Huang's coffin!"

Thanks to my status as a successor of the Four Gates, I have always been in high-end circles since entering the martial arts world. I have handled many rare treasures that are hard to find in the world. If those things were to circulate on the market, any one of them would be enough to put the entire sales channel in jail for life.

This is why, apart from some top experts in the field, the most popular tombs are from the Qing Dynasty, because items from Qing tombs are easier to sell, and even if problems arise, the punishment will be lighter.

I'm just curious how people like Big Baldy, who don't even have sales channels, managed to get in touch with a top-tier black market like Fengmen Village.

It was learned through inquiry that Big Baldy and his group were all self-taught, having just formed the team five years ago.

Originally, the people in their group were all migrant workers who worked outside, but they were later brought together by a man called "Boss Bai".

When they first met Boss Bai, Baldy and his gang knew nothing. Boss Bao recruited them because he valued their special skills while working on the construction site. For example, some were good at digging holes, some were very strong, and some were knowledgeable about mechanical devices when they were carpenters.

After gathering these people together, Boss Bai asked them to work for him, promising to train them and pay each of them a monthly salary of 20,000 yuan.

Baldy and his gang didn't have stable jobs to begin with, but seeing how generous Boss Bai was, they all became his subordinates and started working for him. And the project Boss Bai trained these people to do was tomb raiding.

Even so, no one had any intention of backing down, after all, they were all out working for money.

After two years of training, they began to work with Boss Bai, and their monthly salary rose to 30,000 yuan a month.

For tomb raiders, a monthly salary of 30,000 yuan is insignificant, but for migrant workers like Baldy, it is an astronomical sum.

In order to keep these people firmly by his side, Boss Bai only let them do the work, and didn't let them have any contact with things like feng shui, geomancy, or shipping.

Two months ago, Boss Bai received a big job: to help an old man dig up a Wei-Jin tomb. However, after they succeeded, they got lost in the mountains and were trapped there.

Because of the lack of supplies, many people in the group starved to death. On his deathbed, the old man began to talk nonsense, took out the entrance ticket to Fengmen Village and told them that he dug up this Wei-Jin tomb in order to get the things inside to enter Fengmen Village.

Later, the old man starved to death, Boss Bai also starved to death, but the bald man and his group of five survived by a twist of fate.

Having lost Boss Bai as their long-term source of income, they also lost their source of wealth.

After discussing it, the group decided to sell the burial goods they had brought out from the Wei-Jin tombs, divide the money among themselves, and then retire from their life of crime to become wealthy men.

And so, they took the jade token left by the old man and impersonated him to participate in the treasure-hunting competition in Fengmen Village. Moreover, thanks to the knowledge they had accumulated from tomb raiding over the years, they successfully passed the first test.

These people were all from farming families, with exceptional physical strength and endurance. In order to earn money and reunite with their families, they put in all their effort to win and enter Fengmen Village to sell their goods. Some even sacrificed themselves to distract the border guards. As a result, these two unjustly arrested me as soon as they got the tokens.
