Chapter 937 The Grave Robbers' Chronicles 25
"This person must really love green pepper fried rice so much that they even wrote their own song about it."
After finishing the rabbit meat in his hand, Gu Wusi wiped his hands with a wet wipe and took the soup bowl that Xingchen handed him.
“Hey, this is the kind of treatment you get with green pepper and shredded pork fried rice,” Black Bear said.
The mutton soup has no gamey smell at all, making it perfect for drinking on a cold day; it can help keep you warm.
Seeing that there was still a lot of soup and mutton in the pot, which the three of them couldn't finish, Gu Wusi asked Xingchen to share it with the others.
On Xie Yuchen's side, they were still eating dry food, and everyone ate the mutton soup without even looking up.
"Thank you, Miss Gu. A sip of hot water makes me feel much warmer."
Black Bear had just started eating his fried rice when he was drinking mutton soup.
He took a sip and then drank it in large gulps: "The young lady even brought a chef with her to the snow mountain. This cooking skill is in no way inferior to that of a master chef."
After Gu Wusi finished the soup, he felt warm all over, but the hall was still very cold.
She clapped her hands, took out a thick blanket and wrapped herself in it: "I can't let my stomach suffer when I'm out here."
"The young lady really knows how to enjoy life, unlike us poor folks."
"Even food and drink can't shut you up."
Upon hearing this, Hei Xiazi made a zipping motion with his hand near his mouth, indicating that he would close his mouth and then concentrate on eating.
After finishing their meal, Gu Wusi told everyone to put out the fire.
"Why, Miss Gu? How can you survive this cold weather without a fire?"
"Destroy them," Xie Yuchen ordered directly.
"Yes, Master Hua."
Although they didn't understand why, they still listened to Xie Yuchen.
Hei Xiazi explained, "If the temperature keeps rising here because of the fire, the alternating hot and cold temperatures can easily cause the pillars next to us to crack."
"So that's how it is."
Even though it was cold at night and people couldn't move around freely, everyone could only endure it.
Gu Wusi didn't have many concerns. She fell asleep soon after lying down, and Xingchen and Ajin took turns keeping watch.
*
At night, Gu Wusi was dozing off in his tent when he was awakened by the sound of footsteps.
She looked outside and saw Xie Yuchen's group of people moving around.
In a quiet and spacious environment, even the faintest footsteps can be heard.
"Where are you going?" another person asked.
"I'm going to take a dump."
"You're busy, don't go too far, come back soon."
"I know."
After waiting for half an hour and the person still hadn't returned, everyone guessed that the person might have gotten lost or had an accident.
Xie Yuchen opened his eyes and lowered his voice to the people he had brought with him: "Go and find someone."
"Yes, Master Hua."
They sent out five or six people to search, but when they returned after a while, they only replied that they hadn't seen anyone.
"Master Hua, Xiao Liu didn't go far. He was just in the hall. How come we can't see him anymore?"
Xie Yuchen didn't speak, but looked at Hei Xiazi, who was neither asleep nor awake: "It's time for you to play a role."
Even though Hei Xiazi had his eyes closed, he knew that these words were being spoken to him.
He sat up helplessly: "Master Hua, I told everyone not to wander around. Working overtime in the middle of the night deserves extra pay."
"I'll add it for you. Go find him and bring him back."
"If the person is alright and just got lost, they might be able to find their way back. But if something happened to them, I won't be able to bring them back alive."
"Bring them back, whether they are alive or dead."
"I'll go take a look." Black Bear stood up and took a few steps, then suddenly turned back.
He walked up to Gu Wusi's tent: "Miss, now that you're awake, why don't you go out and exercise with Master Hei? It's so cold."
"I'm not going. Go somewhere else." Gu Wusi had just sat up to drink some water.
This guy's ears picked it up immediately; they're quite sensitive.
"I'll go with you to find him," Xie Yuchen offered, after all, he was the one looking for him.
Black Bear smiled and said, "Master Hua is truly a good boss."
"Master Hua, let us go." The Xie family members were all worried about Xie Yuchen going and quickly said.
Xie Yuchen made a decisive decision: "Two people come with us, the rest of you stay here."
"But……
"No buts, we'll be back as soon as possible."
Hei Xiazi and Xie Yuchen walked around the hall, and finally stood in front of a mural to ponder it.
After exchanging a few words, they began to pace back and forth, each step taken with great care.
Then, very quickly, everyone watched as the four of them disappeared.
"What happened? Where is he? Master Hua!!"
What kind of mechanism is this?
"Don't shout, they're fine, you just can't see them." Xingchen, who had been woken up, told them to be quiet.
"Miss Xingchen, do you know what kind of mechanism that is?"
"I don't know, just wait quietly and trust your boss."
After Xingchen finished speaking, she went back to sleep.
She had no way of explaining those mysterious arts of divination and esoteric arts to these people.
Back in the day, I could fall asleep while studying, and it was very difficult for people who hadn't encountered it before to understand it.
Gu Wusi had already blocked out the sound and continued sleeping.
With Ah Jin keeping watch at night, she could feel at ease.
About two hours later, the four people who had left returned.
They brought back the man named Xiao Liu, but he was already dead.
"Master Hua, what's wrong with Xiao Liu?"
Xie Yuchen explained, "He had something stuck in his brain. When we found him, it was too late to save him. We found a place to settle him down and took him with us when we went back."
"Yes."
Gu Wusi had already gotten up, and she could hear them talking while sitting at the tent entrance.
The fact that centipedes crawled into their heads indicates that Wu Xie and his group had released the sealed Insect Fragrance Jade.
This fragrant jade will attract these centipedes.
"We should be setting off soon too."
Upon hearing this, Xie Yuchen said, "Let's rest for a while and get ready to go together. We just saw the murals in a passageway. The murals depicted insects."
"Insects? What kind?"
"A dense swarm of centipedes, you know what they are? They specialize in crawling into people's bodies and ears, aren't you scared?" Black Bear said with a wicked grin as he approached.
"If you're scared, you won't come here. Pack your things."
Gu Wusi slung his bag over his shoulder and waited for everyone to get ready.
As the group entered the passageway, everyone was extra careful, knowing there might be centipedes.
After walking some distance, they saw many centipede corpses along the way.
“There are traces of explosives used here.” Hei Xiazi squatted down to examine it.
"It could be Wu Xie and his group. If we follow the trail, we should be able to find them."
After glancing at Gu Wusi, Xie Yuchen said, "The place they're going to should be the same place you're going to."
"Okay, let's go."
Wandering through the passageways, they soon entered another palace.
Upon entering, you'll see a circular platform surrounded by stone pillars, upon which sits a stone sculpture of a large insect.
"Why would there be such a stone sculpture in this tomb? The murals in the outer passageway are also full of insects."
