Chapter 225 Chen Wenjin's plan
"Strange behavior... probably not, but he took two phone calls during the trip and checked the time several times while flipping through a map. He seemed to be telling that woman named An Ning something like, 'Hurry up,'"
"Okay, thank you Xiuxiu." Xie Yuchen thanked him with a smile, and then spoke again.
"By the way, what's the situation on your side? Wu Sansheng probably wants you to get involved, what does your grandmother say?"
"Before we left, Grandma originally just asked me to come over to check on the situation and bring my aunt home if possible. But she later sent me a message to change her mind. She asked me to take the others to send my aunt back and then go with the homeless third brother. She said it would be best to clarify everything so that we can have an explanation or something."
This explanation was really funny. Huo Xiuxiu felt that her grandmother was still treating her like a child and couldn't even come up with a decent excuse.
The meaning is vague, and the words are half said and half hidden. What else is there to explain?
If she really wanted an explanation, grandma should have gathered some thugs and knocked on the door of the Wu family to force them to give an explanation!
Huo Xiuxiu pouted and complained, not understanding what her grandmother was thinking. However, Xie Yuchen, who had witnessed the wickedness of human hearts since childhood and had a deep understanding of human nature, vaguely guessed something.
As for what happened back then, everyone in the Nine Gates knew it all tacitly and tried to make light of the matter. They pretended to be ignorant and got through all these years.
Huo Xiangu might have cared more about her daughter and family in the past, but she is old now.
People's thoughts change, and the older they get, the more afraid they become of death.
Maybe now she also wants to explore the vague path to immortality.
“Then you should follow Wu Sansheng first, but that person can be unreliable sometimes, so you have to protect yourself and don’t get hurt.
If nothing goes wrong, our team will be able to reunite before entering the place we are looking for."
When saying this, Xie Yuchen also glanced at Zhang Moyu and received a nod from him.
“If anything happens, you can call me directly.
"During this period, talk less and do less, keep a close eye on Wu Sansheng, and be careful not to be led into a trap by that old fox. He has no moral principles and loves to trick the younger generation."
"Okay, Brother Xiaohua, I get it. Don't worry, I'm actually pretty good too~"
Huo Xiuxiu said playfully, and then hung up the phone before Xie Yuchen could start another round of lecturing.
Brother Xiaohua is excellent in every way, except that he is too nagging to people he knows.
Putting the sweet troubles behind her, Huo Xiuxiu had a pretty smile on her face. She looked at Wu Sansheng and Aning who were walking towards her and spoke sweetly.
"Uncle Wu San, Sister An Ning, thank you for your help. Did you find what you were looking for?"
They helped to catch the forbidden version of Huo Ling that was crawling around the house, so Huo Xiuxiu naturally had to reciprocate and show some concern for them.
Anyway, it's just verbal humanitarian concern. If she really wants to help, the few people she brings with her can't be of much help.
"The porcelain plate with the map was found, but a corner is missing. I don't know if it can be used."
Wu Sansheng gave her his signature smile of an old fox, looking very amiable. No one knew that every word he said now had been rehearsed in his mind in advance.
Until now, Wu Sansheng is still conscientiously following the plot he designed, planning to use this porcelain plate to trick Aning into finding the guide from that year, and then use the guide's name to trick people into going to the Palace of the Queen Mother of the West.
As for why it is said to be a scam, it is because there is indeed a map on the porcelain plate, but the road on it requires the use of the direction of the river to distinguish the route, and it can only be used during the rainy season.
It is only January now, and the rainy season in Tamudra will not last until May, and it only lasts for a few days.
They couldn't use this map. The person who could really serve as their guide and lead them in was Chen Wenjin, who had settled here several years in advance.
She had also taken the Corpse Turtle Pill that year and almost turned into a half-human, half-ghost forbidden woman like Huo Ling. However, she was luckier than Huo Ling. By chance, she found a way to suppress the Corpse Turtle Pill.
Chen Wenjin had come into contact with meteorite jade and discovered that it could suppress the abnormal changes brought about by the Corpse Turtle Pill. By relying on this restraint and slowing down the speed at which the Corpse Turtle Pill transformed the human body, she was able to live with a clear mind until now.
However, perhaps because the changes were still deepening, or perhaps because of her peculiarity, she gradually discovered that she had an inexplicable feeling towards the Queen Mother of the West Palace.
It seemed as if someone told her that there was a way to solve her problem in the Queen Mother of the West's palace.
She wanted to get in, even if there was only a glimmer of hope, she would try her best to find a way to survive.
After witnessing her former good friend Huo Ling gradually becoming alienated and losing her sanity, she told herself in her heart that she must never become a monster like Huo Ling!
Rather than becoming a forbidden woman, she would rather die on the road to survival.
The Palace of Queen Mother of the West is very dangerous and special.
Chen Wenjin knew that she definitely couldn't get in by herself, and she needed someone to lead her in, clear the mines for her, and clear the obstacles.
Wu Sansheng knew that they would not be able to get in without someone leading the way. They needed someone to lead the way, otherwise they would not even be able to find the place.
In this way, the two of them can be said to be in love with each other. After they got in touch, they became accomplices and hit it off immediately.
This is different from Wu Sanxing who is still trying to justify himself, making excuses for himself, worrying about the route, and making up lies.
Zhang Moyu and the others didn't care about the route at all.
Even if the map is no longer valid for more than a thousand years, so what? The Zhang family never looks at maps when looking for a place!
Either rely on intuition or metaphysics, or you can try your luck.
At this moment, the team includes Zhang Moyu and Zhang Benling, two top masters of metaphysics and divination. It is no exaggeration to say that they can find the Palace of Queen Mother of the West even with their eyes closed.
After being stuck in traffic for half an hour, Zhang Moyu and his friends felt bored and didn't want to continue waiting aimlessly, so Zhang Moyu simply waved his hand and changed the route!
Three luxury RVs broke away from the convoy, lined up, and sped across the open space covered with gravel and dead branches. They changed direction and drove into the distance, then sped away in front of the other onlookers who were still stuck in the traffic.
According to the original plan, they wanted to go to Golmud City to rest first, and by the way, meet the restless Wu Sanxing and An Ning's brothers, and then enter the Tamutuo Basin to find the place they were looking for.
Now it seems that since Wu Sansheng is deliberately blocking their way and stalling for time and doesn't want to see them for the time being, it's better to change the route...
Head straight to the Tamudra Basin!
Having ruined Wu Sansheng's plan and escaped the inexplicable traffic jam, the group felt instantly relieved.
