That night.
In the mountains and forests, the leaves rustle.
A group of people is moving forward at high speed.
"Master Sato, how far are we from the Han King's Tomb? We should be almost there, right?"
A Japanese woman, panting, asked a man with an eagle-like face who was holding a compass.
The hawk-faced man nodded. "Ambassador Koizumi, according to my great-grandfather's notes, the Han King's Tomb is less than fifty li from here. Let's rest for a while and reach our destination in half an hour!"
Koizumi Mami nodded, sat down against a nearby rock, then glanced at a timid figure in the group and shouted, "Shinichi Kameda, get over here!"
Shinichi Kameda rushed over and bowed obsequiously, saying, "Ambassador, what are your orders?"
"Give me a leg massage!"
"Okay!" Shinichi Kameda quickly knelt down beside her and gently massaged Mami Koizumi's calves.
The other fully armed Japanese men, armed with submachine guns, stood around patrolling and scanning the area.
Koizumi Mami said to the group, "You guys should take a break too. We'll have a lot to do once we get to the Han King's Tomb!"
Sato Saya quickly said, "Yes, you guys should rest too. Don't worry, I've already shaken off the people who were following us with a feng shui formation. They can't catch up with us!"
Hearing him say that, the Japanese men relaxed their guard a little and sat down to rest.
Koizumi Mami took out the package from her back, patted it, and said, "Master Sato, do you think this replica of the Nine Dragon Jade can really replace the real one? Is there anything else fishy about that Nine Dragon Jade?"
Sato Saya shook her head. "Ambassador Koizumi, I have studied the Lu Ban Book of the Great Xia for many years. I am quite certain that this thing is just a mechanism. As long as Mr. Kameda can replicate it to 90%, I believe it can definitely replace the original!"
Koizumi Mami glared fiercely at Kameda, "This time it all depends on you! If your imitation can't replace the real Nine Dragon Jade, hehe, I'll leave you in the Han King's tomb to be his eunuch!"
Shinichi Kameda shuddered and hurriedly said, "Hey! Ambassador Koizumi, please trust my skills. I've seen the photo. I made a one-to-one replica based on the photo left by Master Sato's great-grandfather! I can't say it's absolutely identical, but it's definitely 99% accurate!"
Hearing his assurance, Koizumi Mami nodded in satisfaction.
At this moment, Koizumi Mami suddenly remembered something and asked Sato Saya, "By the way, Master Sato! Our Japanese Imperial Palace has many treasures, why is Tianhuang so interested in this Nine Dragon Jade?"
She was very curious about this matter. The Sato family was one of the most prestigious feng shui families in Japan, and Sato Sawa was an important member of the Sato family, serving as a feng shui master in the imperial palace.
The fact that the Empress personally sent him here shows how much importance she attaches to this matter.
Sato Saya shook her head and said, "This matter was originally top secret, but since Ambassador Koizumi is the Empress's cousin and not an outsider, I'll tell you the truth!"
At this point, Sato Saki's expression turned serious, and she said in a deep voice, "The reason why Tianhuang is so determined to obtain the Nine Dragon Jade is because she received a revelation from Amaterasu!"
"A revelation from Amaterasu?"
Koizumi Mami was a little confused.
Amaterasu, the creator goddess of Japan, holds a similar status to God in the United States.
Although she had worshipped Amaterasu Omikami since childhood, Koizumi Mami was a materialist at heart and did not believe in any gods.
However, she couldn't help but ask, "Master Sato, what revelation did Amaterasu give to Tenhou?"
Sato Saya's expression was solemn as she slowly said, "According to the revelation of the Great God, a catastrophe that will exterminate our race will occur in our Japan!"
Upon hearing this, Koizumi and the other Japanese men all tensed up.
"A catastrophe that led to the extermination of a race..."
Koizumi suddenly realized something, and her pupils constricted sharply. "Could it be..."
Sato Saya nodded, confirming her idea, "That's right, Mount Fuji is going to erupt! At the latest, it will erupt in two years, and the smoke and fire will cover the entire island, destroying Kyoto in an instant!"
Sato Sawa added, "According to the revelation of Amaterasu, if we want to avert this disaster, we must find the Nine Dragon Jade in Daxia! Because the Nine Dragon Jade is a water dragon in disguise, only by bringing it to the main island can we suppress Mount Fuji and prevent this disaster!"
"I see!"
Koizumi Mami suddenly realized, and couldn't help but murmur, "I never imagined this mission would be so difficult. This isn't just a simple tomb raiding mission, but a mission to save the millions of our compatriots on this island!"
Sato Saka nodded emphatically, "That's right! So, this time, our tomb raiding is a do-or-die situation! We're willing to sacrifice our lives!"
Koizumi Mami nodded, but then she suddenly remembered something and hurriedly said, "Master Sato, one of our people went missing earlier. He has most likely fallen into the hands of the Fengtian Army. Our purpose has probably been exposed!"
Sato Saya said confidently, "Ambassador Koizumi, don't worry, I've already used an array to shake them off. They won't be able to find us. Besides, there are illusions around the Han King's Tomb. The Great Xia's method of finding auspicious burial sites has long been lost. No one will be able to find it!"
"That's good, that's good!"
Hearing him say that, Koizumi Mami was finally relieved, and the group immediately got ready to continue their journey.
What they didn't notice was that right above them, on the high cliff, stood two tall figures dressed in black.
Naturally, it was Lin Yu and Feng Jiu.
At this moment, Feng Jiu slowly lowered the binoculars and said to Lin Yu, "Young Marshal, they have already set off. I estimate they will go straight to the Han King's Tomb this time!"
Lin Yu smiled dismissively: "This Sato idiot, he's obviously a complete novice. Finding a dragon's lair and pinpointing a burial site requires understanding the surrounding mountains, and he can't even do that. He's so slow and hesitant, otherwise we wouldn't have caught up with him!"
After saying this, he looked around, his gaze seemingly piercing through layers of mist.
Fifty miles away, a majestic gourd-shaped mountain peak stood tall in the night.
...
Half an hour later.
Koizumi Mami and the others finally arrived at the foot of the gourd-shaped mountain.
Sato Saya said excitedly, "This is it! My great-grandfather recorded in his notes that this mountain is called Immortal Gourd Peak, and the Han King's tomb is at the foot of this Immortal Gourd!"
He took his compass and immediately headed towards the foot of the mountain. After a long while, he finally pinpointed a location.
There is a pile of stones here. Although it has been weathered for many years, it can still be vaguely seen as a marker.
Sato Sawa's old body trembled, and she quickly said, "Ambassador Koizumi, this pile of stones is a mark left by my great-grandfather. They once dug a tomb-raiding tunnel here. As long as we can reopen this tunnel, we can go down into the tomb!"
