Bai Zhi’s intention was very simple. Didn’t Qiao Bo tell Song Ning that he was injured?
Then Song Ning naturally didn't need to tell Qiao Bo what was going on, so as to make him anxious!
Song Ning was angry and didn't want to forgive Qiao Bo so easily, so she immediately took action.
After taking Bai Zhi to pack up, he didn't go to see Qiao Bo, but directly discussed the next itinerary with Zhang Tianyi and Professor Zhou.
"This is where you found the floating corpse..."
Song Ning pointed her finger at a puddle on the map, "But the ancient tomb isn't here!"
"You're all looking in the wrong direction!"
"Wrong direction?"
Professor Zhou and Zhang Tianyi exchanged glances. "Those floating corpses suddenly appeared here. They must have been washed away by the ancient tomb. If the tomb isn't here, where else could it be?"
"If the ancient tomb isn't here, then where did these floating corpses come from?"
"This area of water is a separate area, not connected to other areas..."
"That doesn't make sense!"
Professor Zhou, Zhang Tianyi and Song Ning sat facing each other with their heads lowered. Because they were looking at the same map, Zhang Tianyi and Song Ning were very close to each other.
Zhang Tianyi could smell the faint scent of sandalwood on Song Ning without even looking up.
The sandalwood scent on Song Ning's body is different from ordinary sandalwood. It seems to have a more refreshing smell. It smells light and not greasy, and the fragrance becomes clearer as it travels further.
"What's that scent you're smelling?"
Zhang Tianyi somehow said what was in his mind.
Professor Zhou and Song Ning's attention was on the map, and Zhang Tianyi's move was simply a stroke of genius.
"ah?"
Song Ning tilted her head in confusion and looked over. "What's that fragrance?"
"I don't have any incense here!"
Professor Zhou was also confused. "What's the connection between this incense and the floating corpse?"
"Of course it has nothing to do with it!"
Zhang Tianyi smiled faintly, "I just think Song Ning's fragrance smells good."
"Did you say I smell good?"
Song Ning suddenly realized, "This kind of incense is the sandalwood that my master specially blended for me. If you like it, I brought a lot this time and will give it to you later!"
"The master added several kinds of Chinese medicinal herbs and floral scents to the sandalwood to neutralize the heavy feeling of the sandalwood..."
"And this incense has the effect of calming the mind and spirit, which is perfect for people who suffer from chronic brain damage."
Song Ning said, turning to look at Professor Zhou, "Professor, don't be jealous. I think this kind of fragrance is suitable for young people."
"My master has made another kind of fragrance that I'm sure you'll like."
"When I get back this time, I'll help you make it."
"OK!"
Professor Zhou was delighted when he heard this, "It was worthwhile to have you as a student!"
"That's a must!"
Song Ning raised her chin proudly.
"You just said that the ancient tomb is not here, so where is it?"
Zhang Tianyi calmly turned the topic to the ancient tomb.
At this time, Professor Zhou and Song Ning's minds were both on the ancient tomb, so they naturally didn't speculate too much about his previous question.
But if we allow this topic to continue, that may not be the case.
Although Professor Zhou is old, he has a quick mind and is good at judging people. Zhang Tianyi's thoughts cannot be hidden from him at all.
Song Ning is fine. She is broad-minded and doesn't think too much when encountering things. She is a person with a bad temper.
It’s a pity that Zhang Tianyi didn’t know the term “big straight woman”, otherwise he would definitely know that this term is perfect for Song Ning.
Although she now had a vague affection for Qiao Bo, her heart was not fully open.
It is impossible to see clearly those obscure emotions and loves.
Therefore, when dealing with a straight woman like her, you must not hide your feelings. The best way is to say you like her out loud.
"here!"
Song Ning stretched out his finger and tapped the diagonal corner of the valley where the floating corpse appeared.
Song Ning didn't think much about it. After all, the scent on her body was indeed quite special.
There is only one store, no other branches.
"If I'm not mistaken, the underground waters here should be connected."
"And looking at the direction of the mountains here, there are floating corpses on the ground. The tomb is a fake one!"
“Fake grave?”…
Professor Zhou immediately lowered his head and began to observe the map carefully.
He has been engaged in archaeological work for half his life, so he is naturally familiar with the burial methods of emperors' tombs and the mountain terrain and treasure caves.
I didn’t expect that I would make mistakes nowadays!
"Tell me more about it..."
Song Ning nodded, "Actually, this is all thanks to Sister Bai Zhi..."
"Sister Baizhi brought us here to rest, and I unexpectedly took a walk in the miasma forest..."
"If I'm not mistaken, the miasma forest should be the ancient tomb's burial pit!"
"A burial pit?"
Professor Zhou followed Song Ning's finger and looked over. "Here we do have a tradition of human sacrifice..."
"That's right!"
Song Ning pointed at the miasma forest and asked, "How does the miasma over there form?"
"Originally, there must have been a large amount of corrupted gas, coupled with the unique climate and environment here, which formed the miasma forest we see today."
"Last night, I found a lot of bones and phosphorescent fire beneath the thick mud of the miasma forest. I guess a brutal massacre must have taken place there long ago..."
"That's why so many corpses were left behind, and then allowed to rot, creating this miasma forest."
"That miasma forest is the first line of defense of the ancient tomb."
Song Ning pointed her finger at the mountain to the west of the miasma forest. "This mountain is tall and steep. There are cliffs behind it and a miasma forest in front of it."
"The mountains stretch for thousands of miles on both sides, higher on the left and lower on the right... Does this pattern look familiar to you?"
"The Emperor's Tomb!"
Professor Zhou pointed the magnifying glass in his hand at the mountain behind the miasma forest.
“That’s right!”
Song Ning smiled confidently, "The ancient tomb we are looking for should be here!"
"OK!"
Professor Zhou stood up excitedly, "Tianyi, hurry up and get everyone packed. We're leaving now!"
"not busy!"
Song Ning stood up and grabbed Professor Zhou who was about to leave in a hurry.
"The miasma forest over there isn't easy to navigate, and the enemies hiding in the shadows haven't all shown up yet. We can..."
Song Ning waved her hand, and Professor Zhou and Zhang Tianyi immediately leaned over to listen.
"Are you sure?"
Professor Zhou lowered his voice and looked at Song Ning, "Are you sure that group will take the bait?"
“I’m not sure!”
Song Ning looked at him with a smile, "How do you know if it won't work if you don't try? Anyway, we don't have any other good ideas right now..."
"Can!"
Zhang Tianyi said calmly, "I agree with Song Ning's plan!"
"At the moment, our team does have a bit of a mixed bag..."
"It's normal for them to have other ideas..."
To put it bluntly, someone in their team betrayed their whereabouts and resold information.
If Song Ning could guess it, there was no way Zhang Tianyi didn't know it.
Maybe Zhang Tianyi even knows who sold what information.
“You have good vision!”
Song Ning smiled and wanted to pat Zhang Tianyi's shoulder, but she didn't pay attention to the backpack under the table, so she fell into Zhang Tianyi's arms.
Song Ning's face hit Zhang Tianyi's chest hard, and her face twitched in pain.
"Are you okay?"
"Jobo, why don't you go in?"
