Chapter 326 Treasure Hunt
The middle-aged man took the small wooden plaque and ran away happily. Someone else ran over to worship the God of Land and soon got another small wooden plaque with a map engraved on it.
"This God of Land is really magical!" Li Xuan stared with his eyes wide open.
Wang Lu laughed and said, "Although the Earth God doesn't hold a high position among the gods, his abilities are truly remarkable. He knows everything that happens in the land under his jurisdiction, including what valuable items are buried underground. He also knows where there are dangers and taboos. He can be said to be omniscient and almighty in the area. In ancient times, the Earth God was also known as the Kitchen God. He was a truly great god with a very noble status."
The three men were not in a hurry. After everyone had finished worshipping, Li Xuan walked to the statue of the God of Land, knelt down with a plop, and kowtowed.
Sure enough, Li Xuan also got a small wooden sign.
"How about it, you two? Do you regret not being born in Luoyang?" Li Xuan showed off the small wooden sign to the two of them.
"The Earth God is the most merciful. If I beg him, maybe he'll give me a map." Wang Lu said as he walked to the Earth God's statue, bowed slightly, and said, "Earth God, please be merciful and give me a map."
"If praying is useful, then what's the point of having a household registration book? And you're too insincere. You don't even kowtow, you just pray. What's the use...ah..." Li Xuan curled his lips, but just as he finished speaking, he saw a small wooden sign growing out of the ground. He immediately opened his mouth wide and was speechless.
Wang Lu happily took the small wooden sign and said to Zhou Wen, "Pray for it too. Maybe the Earth God will be merciful and give you a map too."
Zhou Wen thought about it and it made sense. After all, Guide Prefecture where he was born was not far from Luoyang. Maybe the jurisdiction of this land god was relatively large and could also extend to them?
Even if there is no map, there is no loss in saying goodbye.
Zhou Wen followed Wang Lu's example and came to the statue of the God of Land. He put his hands together and bowed slightly to the statue of the God of Land.
"It's okay that Wang Lu is lucky, but I don't believe that you can get the map like this." Li Xuan said.
Zhou Wen bowed at this time, but suddenly he heard the sound of stones rubbing against each other, and saw that the statue of the God of Land moved three feet sideways out of thin air.
"What's going on?" Li Xuan stared with his eyes wide open, and Wang Lu also looked surprised.
Zhou Wen didn't know what was going on, but when he saw a wooden sign growing on the ground, he reached out and picked it up.
"It seems that the old land god thinks I'm a good person and gave me a map." Zhou Wen took the wooden sign and said to Li Xuan with a smile, "It seems that your Luoyang household registration is of no use."
"It's really a ghost." Li Xuan took a look at the statue of the land god that moved three feet sideways, and was extremely shocked and confused.
No matter how you look at it, it seems that the statue of the God of Land was afraid to accept Zhou Wen's worship, so it was moved away.
Wang Lu also looked at the statue of the God of Land and Zhou Wen with some confusion, and was obviously confused as well.
The three of them left the Earth God Temple and were about to go to the main hall to take a look, but they saw a group of soldiers entering the City God Temple and told them that the place had been blocked by the military and asked them to leave in an orderly manner.
The three of them had no choice but to leave the City God Temple. Li Xuan looked at the wooden sign in his hand and saw that the map on it was very vague, with only a rough outline of rivers, mountains and terrain. Then he put a red dot to mark the location of the treasure.
If you are not a local from Luoyang and are not familiar with the Luoyang area, it would be difficult to find the location marked on the map.
"You definitely can't tell the location marked on the map. Let me help you check it out." Li Xuan said to Zhou Wen and Wang Lu.
Zhou Wen and Wang Lu gave him the wooden sign. Li Xuan was really knowledgeable about the place and quickly helped them find the location. He also marked it on the mobile phone map so that they could go treasure hunting conveniently.
"Should we go treasure hunting together, or dig separately?" Li Xuan asked.
"Let's go together. These places are outside the city. It's safer to go together." Zhou Wen said.
"Okay, mine is the closest, let's go dig mine first." Li Xuan said, and summoned his companion pet mount.
Zhou Wen only had the Poison White Shadow to ride, but that thing looked a bit strange in broad daylight, and Li Xuan's bull-shaped mount was relatively large, just right for taking Zhou Wen along.
Wang Lu summoned her tiger and followed behind on the tiger.
The three of them walked through the city, attracting the envious gazes of many ordinary citizens.
After leaving the city, in a small wood in the suburbs, Li Xuan dug for a long time and dug a big hole about four or five meters deep. Finally, he dug up something.
It was a ceramic jar that looked like it had been buried for quite some time. Li Xuan held the jar and said excitedly, "Could there be gold hidden by the ancients in it?"
"It's possible, there might be jewels inside. Open it and take a look." Zhou Wen was also a little curious and urged Li Xuan to open it.
Li Xuan did not hesitate and opened the jar directly. He saw that it was full of copper coins, which were rusted beyond recognition. He took out one and squeezed it, and the coin broke into pieces due to decay.
"How could this happen?" Li Xuan was extremely depressed.
"Don't break them. Those copper coins should be antiques, right?" Zhou Wen said.
"Antiques are valuable in peacetime, but in this era, who would spend money to buy antiques? Those who have money would buy dimensional crystals and companion eggs. Besides, the quality of these copper coins is too poor, they are almost out of shape." Li Xuan said.
But it was a gain after all, so Li Xuan put the jar into his bag. The jar was not big and fit perfectly into his backpack.
Next, they went to dig Wang Lu’s treasure map. Her treasure map was not far from here. With Li Xuan, a local expert, following them, the three of them quickly arrived at the destination.
It was next to a stream. Wang Lu rummaged around a few times and turned over the pebbles. Suddenly, he found a gem as big as a longan. It was crystal clear and looked like a cat's eye.
"It's so beautiful." Wang Lu liked it very much. He washed it in the stream and played with it in his hand.
Zhou Wen's map location was in the woods next to the mountains. The three of them walked for more than ten miles to get there. There was a dimensional area nearby, so the three of them walked carefully and even took a detour to avoid an extra-dimensional area.
"This is it." Li Xuan checked the map and pointed to a patch of grass.
Seeing that there were only some weeds there and nothing else, Zhou Wen prepared to go there and dig for treasure to see what he could dig out.
Who knew that just as Zhou Wen approached there, a puff of white smoke suddenly burst out from the bushes, scaring Zhou Wen and the other two. They could not help but fly back and stare vigilantly at the place where the white smoke was emitted.
