Chapter 278: Tell a joke, we are here for tourism
"Brother Wuxie, you are so amazing!"
Knowing that Wuxie was not the kind of person who would brag, Nan Xihe immediately believed it when he nodded in agreement.
Although I feel that what they said about swimming back from the sea is a bit exaggerated, the fact that they swam in the sea itself shows that they have full confidence in their swimming skills.
Wuxie gave him an awkward but polite smile, then quickly went down with the rope.
When Wuxie saw the following situation, he knew that his uncle was lying to him again.
Without even thinking about it, he immediately ruled out the possibility that Wu Sansheng had not heard clearly, and defined the incident as Wu Sansheng deliberately spreading false information.
After landing safely, Wuxie looked at the water that had just reached his ankles, veins popping out on his forehead. He felt that they all looked like fools for the serious discussion they had had earlier.
There were also several people who came down before him, each one of them had bad intentions, and no one thought of passing on a message to them.
While waiting for the remaining few people to come down, Wuxie walked up to Wu Sansheng with a forced smile and greeted him warmly and friendly.
The area they had just come down from was quite spacious. After walking a few hundred meters, the road began to have many forks of varying widths.
The one leading the way now is Zhang Benling. He keeps turning the Kirin gold coin in his hand and tosses it from time to time, but he doesn't use his brain to tell fortunes, he just simply senses good or bad luck.
They now have maps, and the map they interpreted from the human-faced bird stone sculpture is very detailed.
Because Zhang Benling, who was walking in the front, looked relaxed, Wuxie and the others also relaxed. They even had the mind to observe the milky white and translucent fish with degenerated eyes that appeared from time to time in the water, as well as the strange-shaped mosses growing on the rock walls.
As the group walked further and further away, Wu Sansheng became increasingly anxious.
He also had a general understanding of the layout of the Queen Mother of the West Palace from Chen Wenjin. The direction they were heading in now was getting farther and farther away from the main tomb chamber of the Queen Mother of the West Palace.
Wu Sansheng didn't know whether the Zhang family members had deliberately led them astray, or whether the leader hadn't figured it out or had some other purpose.
He wanted to take all these people to the main tomb chamber, but he had no suitable reason.
He couldn't explain why he knew the way.
After hesitating for a long time, Wu Sansheng decided to start with Wuxie.
Although his eldest nephew has made a lot of progress recently, with so many years of experience and the friendship between the two of them, he is definitely easier to fool than other people.
"Nephew, I've heard other people mention the Tomb of the Queen Mother of the West before, but the path the young man leading us took seemed a little off.
This doesn't seem like the way to the main tomb chamber. Do you want to go ask?"
Wu Sansheng was secretly encouraging Wuxie to help him investigate the situation, but ended up getting a puzzled look from Wuxie.
"Why do we need to go to the main tomb? We are not here to fight."
Wu Sansheng was stunned when these words were spoken, and Aning, who came to hitchhike, also felt nervous.
"Nephew, don't be ridiculous. Now that you're here, what else could you be doing if not playing the game? Are you here for tourism?"
Wu Xie thought about it. Zhang Qiling said he was taking people to relax, Zhang Moyu said he was here to clean up the mess left over from the previous mission and settle a score with a big snake, and Hei Xiazi said he was here for a trip at his own expense...
Well, his third uncle might not believe it, but they probably came here just for tourism, and everything else was just a side trip.
"Aren't you here to look for the Queen Mother of the West Palace?"
Aning raised her eyebrows, and the ambiguous light in her eyes became deeper.
The boss gave her a lot of information before she set off. The Queen Mother of the West Palace held the secret of immortality and countless treasures. With money and immortality right in front of her, she didn't believe these people would not be tempted!
Considering the current situation, she had reason to guess that this group of people were deliberately guarding against her, wanting to find an opportunity to carry her to the Queen Mother of the West Palace and monopolize the things there.
"Of course not. I don't know the details. Don't worry about what we're here for. Just follow us."
Wuxie, who really didn't understand the situation, could only vaguely skip the topic and then gave the two of them some instructions.
"What's so interesting about the Queen Mother of the West Palace? It's definitely dangerous there, and we probably won't be able to bring anything good out of it. It's not worth the risk.
You'd better not even think about it, especially don't go there alone without saying anything in a fit of rage. It's very dangerous here. It's okay to be with the bosses, but if you go alone, something might happen."
Wuxie kindly told them a little more.
In fact, it would be a lie to say that he was not at all attracted by the Queen Mother of the West's underground palace, but he really did not have the urge to explore it.
When he and Fatty Wang confirmed their itinerary, they discussed the situation here in detail with Zhang Moyu.
After asking this question, I learned that the underground palace of Queen Mother of the West had been explored by the ancestors of the Zhang family a long time ago, and all the valuable things, which were magical and could be called treasures, were taken away.
There were only some ordinary antiques, gold and silver jewelry and other things left inside.
Although these things are valuable, they are at most of a higher age and are not really rare.
As two people who have seen countless antiques, they have little interest in these things. It is really not worth it to take the risk of being hunted by various non-human creatures such as Zongzi and Ghost.
Wuxie had said so much, Wu Sansheng had no choice but to stop talking. The three of them continued to walk side by side with their own thoughts.
Zhang Benling in front suddenly felt a malicious intent directed at him. His hand stroking the Qilin gold coin paused for a moment, and his other hand hanging at his side gestured to the others.
The next second after Zhang Qiling saw his gesture, he seemed to inadvertently shift his gaze and glanced at Zhang Ruiping next to him.
Zhang Ruiping nodded imperceptibly, left the team and walked towards a dark fork in the road nearby. Zhang Moyu and Zhang Haishe did not want to alert the enemy, so they kept shining the flashlights in their hands forward without turning the light around.
Hei Xia Zi thought they had discovered something unexpected. Thinking of what Zhang Moyu said that they might have to deal with a giant snake that was about to transform into a dragon, he was a little worried about Zhang Ruiping, who didn't seem to be very skilled.
After Zhang Ruiping walked ten meters, Hei Xiazi also followed him with light steps.
Because of the water under their feet, no matter how careful they are, the water will splash and ripple, which will alert the people hiding.
So after walking a distance and getting close to the other party, Zhang Ruiping suddenly changed to a very fast pace and successfully caught the woman who had been following them and spying on them in the dark.
