Chapter 94 A Tree
"Yes, this is what I'm looking for. Little girl! Sell it to me!"
Sell? Bai Yangfan looked at the masked mule in confusion. Why did he feel that his words were so hypocritical?
He was dressed like this, and yet he came to her house in the middle of the night and dragged her out of bed just to buy a silver hairpin in her hand?
Can't you wait until tomorrow daytime?
joke.
If you want to take it, just take it. Who are you pretending to be for?
"Take it! Forget about whether you sell it or not. It's not worth much anyway."
Bai Yangfan was not lying. This thing was really worthless. At this time, not to mention silver, even gold would not be worth much.
"Okay, I'll take it. I only have twenty dollars in my pocket, and I'll leave it all to you. It's a deal we both agreed to."
He took out the money and threw it on the table. Mule put the silver hairpin in his arms, opened the door and ran away.
As soon as he left, Lu Jingheng followed him out. They had already arranged for someone to guard the place outside, and they could leave the rest to them. He was most worried about Bai Yangfan's safety. Even though he knew that with her skills, she wouldn't necessarily suffer any harm, he was still a little worried.
"Yang Fan! Are you okay? Did that man do anything to you?"
"No, I'm fine." Bai Yangfan put away his trembling expression and returned to his usual calmness. "He took the things away."
"I know." Lu Jingheng looked at the calm woman in front of him and told her, "I've arranged for people to guard outside. They know what to do. You have a good rest. I'm going to go out and take a look."
Bai Yangfan didn't say anything, just nodded slightly and waved his hand to tell the dog man to leave quickly.
Lu Jingheng looked at Bai Yangfan deeply, turned around and walked out of the room, considerately closing her door.
As soon as he left, Bai Yangfan was worried about his brother, so he picked up Qihang, put him on his bed, and slept with him.
The mule won't come again, but I still feel uneasy.
Whether Lu Jingheng and his men can keep up with the mule and find what they want depends on their own abilities.
After that, Lu Jingheng was not seen for two or three days. Bai Yangfan guessed that Mule must have not found the tomb of King Li yet.
If he found it and got it out, Lu Jingheng would definitely come running to tell her. Judging from the man's recent behavior, he wanted to tell her even how many steps he walked in a day and how many times he urinated.
If there is any progress, he will definitely come and tell him.
Bai Yangfan's guess was spot on. Mule took the silver hairpin and sneaked back to the county town. He found the people he had brought with him and immediately returned to the mountains of Liujia Village.
Lu Jingheng and his men followed very secretly without being discovered.
Mule was still young at that time, and the current situation in China was turbulent, so he thought no one would pay attention here. He walked into the mountain in a swagger, and according to his previous memory, he soon arrived at the door of King Li's tomb.
Lu Jingheng, who was following from a distance, had to sigh at Bai Yangfan's meticulousness. She had predicted that once Mule got the things, he would be eager to come to the tomb.
Sure enough, it was exactly as she had guessed, without any difference.
The strange thing was that after they arrived at the entrance of the tomb with the silver hairpin, they did not dare to rush in. Instead, they kept kneeling and worshiping the hairpin, muttering to themselves, and some of them were even singing and dancing, no one knew what they were doing.
After nearly two hours, he finally aimed the silver hairpin at the round hole in the middle of the tomb door and inserted it in. He gently rotated it, and the tomb door opened with a "click".
Mule and his men cheered.
Lu Jingheng was also amazed. It turned out that Bai Yangfan’s grandmother was really related to the tomb of King Li.
The Bai family is the guardian of the tomb.
The strange thing is why no one else in the Bai family knew about this? Did Grandma Bai only tell Bai Yangfan?
It's not impossible.
Otherwise, where did Bai Yangfan get all his martial arts skills from?
I guess no one knows about the burial, only Bai Yangfan knows what happened.
The moment the tomb door opened, Bai Yangfan clearly felt a change in the space, as if the door of a house was pushed open.
Seeing that there was no one around, Bai Yangfan entered the space. He didn't know when a dark corridor appeared in the foggy place.
She couldn't see clearly where the other end of the corridor was.
The tree disappeared. She didn't know where it went. She looked everywhere but couldn't find it.
The strange space made Bai Yangfan feel very surprised.
How could it suddenly change? Where is the end of the corridor?
I walked over bravely, and the white mist rolled away from both sides of the corridor, and the tree was looming at the other end.
Bai Yangfan was originally planning to walk over, but after thinking about it, he decided that it was meaningless.
Even if I go there, there's just a tree there. What's so interesting about it? I might as well go out and read a book.
There is nothing in this space except a tree of unknown species.
She looked around and saw only that tree, so she was too lazy to look.
She didn't expect anything from this space, she just hoped it could be used as a container to store some things she wanted to carry with her.
After leaving the space, Bai Yangfan went out to look around to see where his brother was and who he was playing with.
Now that Mule has appeared, she feels uneasy. Her biggest wish is to take good care of her brother and accompany him to grow up safely.
Seeing her brother with Liangliang, she gave him a few instructions and went home.
The mule opened the tomb door with a silver hairpin, and a dark corridor appeared. Several people walked through it without caring about anything.
Arrived at the second tomb door.
There is a groove on the door that looks like a tree.
The mule was completely dumbfounded. How could there be another door? Could the key to this door be a tree?
Lu Jingheng, who followed quietly behind, also saw it and felt that the mule's silver hairpin had lost its function.
I can open the first door, but not the second.
How could there be such a tree in the world? It fits perfectly into that groove.
Obviously, the person who designed this mechanism was just joking, it doesn't make sense.
Unless the tree is made of gold, silver, jade or other stones, it is impossible for such a tree to exist.
Leaving two people here to watch, Lu Jingheng planned to go back to Liujia Village. Unexpectedly, he got lost when he came out and kept going around in circles.
It took us more than two days to finally find the way. Fortunately, everyone had prepared dry food and water, otherwise we would have starved to death or died of thirst.
Fortunately, Mule and his men were still in the tomb passage studying how to open the second door and had not come out. If they had come out and met them, a fierce battle would have inevitably broken out.
When he walked out, Lu Jingheng looked at the direction and seemed to have comprehended some secrets.
Next time I come, it will definitely be much easier to get in and out.
It will never be as embarrassing as today.
He promised to do it.
