Chapter 028 Entering the Tomb
Wu Xie felt like there was a lump in his chest, unable to move it up or down, feeling extremely uncomfortable. Ultimately, he decided to ignore his uncle, who was asking for a beating, and took another piece of bread and stuffed it into his mouth.
After taking a bite, Wuxie was instantly conquered by the soft and glutinous texture.
The outer layer made of glutinous rice has a faint medicinal fragrance, is soft and chewy, and tastes slightly bitter, but it dilutes the sweetness of the red bean paste inside very well.
"Hmm~ Bro, where did you get this pastry? It's so delicious!"
Wu Xie's face instantly lit up with an expression of bliss and intoxication. He felt that this pastry was much better than the ones at Louwailou, and should be on the same level as the Xinyue Restaurant. Unfortunately, the food there was too expensive, and he had only eaten there twice before with his second and third uncles.
"Um."
Zhang Qiling simply replied with a single word, his face expressionless. Wu Xie felt a little disappointed that he hadn't gotten any relevant information from him. He was thinking about buying some when he had money.
However, Wu Sanxing inexplicably felt a sense of pride from this one word. He looked at Zhang Qiling with a strange expression, feeling that something was wrong with him.
But it wasn't the kind of thing that was wrong, as if he had been replaced by someone wearing a human skin mask, but his expression and mental state seemed a little strange. However, he didn't say much, perhaps it was his private matter.
The group walked on the mountain for a while and came to a camp full of tents. However, the camp was empty at this time and had a sense of depression.
"Third Master, look, there's a camp here!"
Da Kui shouted at Wu Sansheng in a fuss. Wu Sansheng rolled his eyes at him and spoke in a bad mood.
“I see, I’m not blind!
This should be the base of the group of foreigners who arrived before us.
Pan Zi, go see if there is anyone else inside."
"Okay, Third Master."
Pan Zi nodded in agreement, opened the lid of every tent and looked around, but didn't see a single person, so he came back to report.
"Third Master, there's no one in the tent. The labels on the things these people use have been torn off, but if you look closely, they're all foreign goods. They're definitely the group of foreigners who came before us."
Wu Sansheng looked around the largest tent and then at the fire outside that had long been extinguished.
"That group of people just left not long ago. They must have found a place to go down first."
"Ah? They went down first and took away all the good stuff. Wouldn't that mean our trip was in vain? Why don't we stop wasting time here and go back quickly to find another tomb."
Da Kui's somewhat brainless words made Wu Sansheng regret for the Nth time why he brought him here. His performance was even worse than Wuxie who knew nothing!
"No! Even if it's a waste of time, we have to go in and take a look. What if there are treasures?"
This was Wuxie's statement, which was misleading by Da Kui's words.
Wu Xie was simply thinking, he had begged his uncle for a long time before he agreed to take him here. What if the next tomb didn't want to take him? So he had to go down this time.
Hearing this, Wu Sansheng couldn't help but reach out and touch his face, feeling a strange pain. He glanced at Wuxie with a puzzled expression, and finally spoke, unable to bear it any longer.
"You two shut up! Young man, go... find the entrance to the tomb. That group of people are camping here, and the entrance should be right next to it."
Faced with those two funny guys, Wu Sansheng just felt a headache and called Zhang Qiling to check the entrance quickly. The sooner they went down to the tomb, the sooner they would be done.
Perhaps because the leader hired by that group of foreigners was not skilled enough, Zhang Qiling did not find the hole that the group dug, but found the main entrance of the tomb.
Taking the Luoyang shovel out of the bag, Wu Sansheng asked Pan Zi to hit from here downwards, and found that the soil brought out from below was actually blood red.
Then, when the story of Wu Sanxing's bloody tomb came out, Wuxie, whose thoughts had already shifted from scientism to mysticism, was shocked.
What is this Blood Corpse Tomb? It sounds like it’s super powerful!
Thinking of what Zhang Moyu had said to him, Wu Xie suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart. With the previous experience of seeing Mao Mei two years ago as a lesson, Wu Xie remained quiet for a rare time and did not clamor to leave.
When Wu Sansheng saw this, he found that Wuxie had become less reckless and curious!
This won't work. The stage is already set up, but Wuxie doesn't take the bait. How can the show go on?
There was no other way, Wu Sanxing could only perform a solo, analyzing the pros and cons by himself, and finally making the next decision.
Go to the tomb!
Those who were doing this were veterans, so they dug the hole very quickly and soon found the complete tomb wall.
Pan Zi was about to use a shovel to knock down the tomb wall when Zhang Qiling next to him suddenly reached out to stop him.
"Don't move."
After saying that, Zhang Qiling stretched out his five fingers and touched the wall. After feeling it for a while, he retracted them and used his two unusually long index and middle fingers to reach into the gap between the bricks and pulled out a brick.
Not far behind them, Zhang Moyu, who was standing on a tree branch, relied on his good eyesight to look over here and saw the place clearly. He fell silent when he saw this scene.
It’s true that the Zhang family’s pulse-fingering magic finger is impervious to water and fire, and is invulnerable to swords and guns.
But isn't this skill used to assist in diagnosing illnesses and testing for poisons? When did it even allow one to demolish walls with bare hands?
The scene was so stimulating that Zhang Moyu directly imagined a naughty child smashing walnuts with the imperial seal.
Zhang Qiling's behavior also stunned Wuxie, who was watching the fun nearby. He looked down at his own hands and then at Zhang Qiling's hands.
There was a layer of white wax behind the wall. After the other person pulled out a brick from the wall, only two fingers were covered with dust, and not even the skin was broken!
After struggling for a long time, Wuxie still felt that it was unlikely that he could hit the stone wall with his bare hands and still be safe and sound.
In the end, it was just a guess that this was because the wall was buried deep underground and had been eroded and corroded for too long, becoming almost as hard as a block of soil.
Before Wuxie could take action to confirm his idea, Wu Sansheng, who had already planned it, stopped Pan Zi and asked him to take the needle and tube out of his bag.
Zhang Qiling took the thing without any surprise on his face, heated the syringe and inserted it to draw out the strong acid inside.
"Uncle San, you've been prepared for this."
Wuxie's sudden words made Wu Sansheng's face freeze. Afraid that Wuxie would think about it further and find something wrong, he spoke quickly.
"What do you mean by well-prepared? I'm fully equipped and prepared for a rainy day. Okay, enough talk. Pan Zida Kui, clean up the entrance and test the air to make sure it's ok. Then we'll go in."
After confirming that there was enough oxygen, Wu Sansheng led the group in front. Wu Xie, who was following behind, poked the stone wall when passing by a brick wall, imitating Zhang Qiling's previous action, thinking that his action was very subtle.
As a result, the stone wall did not move at all, and Wuxie almost cut off two of his fingers because of excessive force.
Wuxie's eyes widened instantly, and because she didn't want to embarrass herself for such a stupid thing, she suppressed her anger and tried not to scream.
