Chapter 373 There is a big tomb, there is a big tomb
Madam Bai nodded slightly and responded readily:
"You guys work hard, and if you do a good job, you'll be paid. If you need anything, just let Huangmao buy it.
Take a look at this imperial green jadeite first."
The old man squatted down and gently held the jade in his hands. He looked at it carefully for a long time and said slowly:
"Madam, this is a rare and fine material! If it were in Bianjing, it would definitely sell for a high price.
If I were given this piece of material, I could make more than twenty bracelets of different sizes, and there would be some left over for other small items."
Madam Bai looked at him and said, "Then give it a try! And these stones, try to untie them."
The old man nodded quickly and said, "I understand. Just leave it to me!"
Lin Wanwan fell asleep as soon as she came back. Mrs. Bai and Zhao Qiaoniang took advantage of this time to start preparing medicinal herbs.
Zhao Qiaoniang's hands kept moving, and her fingers nimbly manipulated the medicinal herbs.
"Mom, do you think these herbs can be sold for a good price if they are really taken to Bian Jing?" She frowned slightly, with a hint of uncertainty in her voice, and looked at Mrs. Bai who was concentrating on giving instructions on the side.
Madam Bai reached out and gently patted Zhao Qiaoniang's shoulder. "Of course they can be sold for a good price. Now is a year of famine, and the epidemic has also affected Bianjing. These medicinal herbs are in short supply."
After a while, she spoke again: "Mom, are we going to Bianjing this time?"
Mrs. Bai looked at Zhao Qiaoniang with eyes full of love:
"Yes, I want to go back to Bianjing this time. I don't know what's happening to my fellow disciples.
By the way, we should find some opportunities to buy some farms and shops to lay the foundation for our future foothold in Bianliang.
It is definitely not possible for all of us to go to Bian Jing at once, so I want to bring people over slowly.
And this mountain stronghold is our retreat, it is relatively close to the Longhu Gang.
Not only can you do business, but if anything happens, you can hide in the Longhu Gang."
Zhao Qiaoniang nodded, and the group prepared the medicinal herbs until very late.
Lin Wan was sleeping soundly when he suddenly felt his whole body shaking violently.
She sat up in shock and saw her lying in a basket. The pacifier growled softly, which scared her.
"Pacifier, what are you trying to do? Where are you taking me?" Lin Wanwan was speechless. She turned around and saw not only a pacifier, but also candies, custard buns, milk tea, cheese, milk caps, and two Ferghana horses...
Since everyone was already there, Lin Wanwan looked at them and asked, "What are you going to do?"
Milk tea laughed and said, "We plan to go rob a tomb..."
Lin Wanwan rolled her eyes and said, "How do you guys manage to rob tombs? Who came up with this stupid idea?"
The toffee looks at the pacifier, the pacifier looks at the custard bun, and the custard bun looks at the milk cap.
Lin Wanwan stared at the little monkey milk cap and said:
"Just tell me how you guys manage to rob tombs? It's not as easy as you think.
Even if we really intend to do this business, we should at least know the direction, right?
Are you going to wander around in the mountains like a headless fly?
"Can anyone tell me where the ancient tomb is? Even if we know its approximate location, how can we find it accurately?"
Milk tea gurgled and said, "There's a big tomb, there's a big tomb..."
Lin Wanwan looked at it and said, "Why is there a big tomb? Did you find a big tomb?"
"Gah... Wanwan is so smart... Wanwan is so smart..." Milk tea flapped its wings happily.
The night was as dark as ink. Pacifier led Lin Wanwan and rushed all the way. On the other side, Cheese led the other animals and followed closely.
After traveling for more than an hour, they stepped into an extremely desolate mountain area.
Here, the mountains are rolling, weeds are growing wildly, the night wind is howling, and the shrill cries of nightingales can be heard from time to time, which is particularly terrifying in the silent night.
Even though Lin Wanwan has always been brave, she couldn't help but feel a chill down her spine and her hair stood on end at this moment.
They hid in a patch of grass, and just as they hid themselves, they heard human voices coming from not far away.
"I don't know what kind of treasures we can find in our tomb this time." A hoarse voice broke the silence of the night.
Another voice followed immediately: "This tomb is quite large. Even if the deal fails this time, we can still make a lot of money here."
"Ah, what happened last time was really speechless. They were supposed to give us the iron ore, but they thought they were robbing us.
But for some reason, the horses suddenly felt some kind of stimulation and ran away.
It’s really strange that there’s still no trace of him. "
"Do you think this was done by those people from the Four Gods Village?" someone speculated in a low voice.
"Impossible." The hoarse voice from before sounded again, with a very firm tone:
"Even if they have the guts, they don't have the ability.
Those horses were frightened and ran away right under our noses. How could the people from Si Shen Mountain Stronghold be so capable as to rob the horses without making any noise?
I think there might be some evil spirit in the mountains that has offended those animals."
Lin Wanwan, who was hiding in the bushes, listened for a long time and finally understood.
It turned out that these people were from the previous Parthian Empire. I thought they were just ordinary businessmen, but I didn’t expect that they were also tomb robbers.
This time they came in large numbers, about one or two hundred people, scattered around, holding various tools and digging non-stop.
Suddenly, a loud cry broke the silence: "It's been dug up! It's been dug up! There really is a tomb here! The rumors are true, we're going to make a fortune this time!"
The crowd instantly became excited, and excited whispers rose and fell.
A young voice asked anxiously, "Boss, tell us! What kind of tomb is this?"
The man called the boss was tall and strong, with a hideous scar on his face that looked particularly terrifying in the moonlight.
He looked up at the sky, cleared his throat, and said:
"This is no ordinary tomb. It is the tomb of the most corrupt official in the Southern Chu Dynasty. When he was in power, he plundered the people's wealth and accumulated mountains of gold, silver and treasures.
He was a tyrant during his lifetime, and after his death he wanted to take all his wealth into his coffin."
The man paused and said:
“It is said that his tomb contains countless rare treasures, and the night-shining pearl buried with him alone is as big as a fist.
There are also various gold and silver utensils, each of which is inlaid with priceless gems.
When he fell from power, many treasures were not found by the court and must have been buried here.
As long as we find it, we will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of our lives!"
A man with a pointed chin and monkey-like face, his face flushed with excitement, his voice trembling slightly with excitement: "I'll go down first. I just want to see what's in here. I'll go down and explore the way first!"
Before he finished speaking, he couldn't wait to jump into the black hole that had just been dug.
Seeing this, the others did not want to be left behind and jumped down one after another.
