Chapter 349 Old Zhang
Hu Jizhou, who has been in the underworld for many years, is well versed in how to deal with people!
He looked at the old man who was being laughed at by everyone.
With a tone half contemptuous and half questioning, he asked, "I remember there's an ancient Jingjue city site 150 kilometers north of Niya County? Didn't the archaeological team from the capital go there to investigate? Could it be that some ordinary person, more capable than the experts, has discovered another massive tomb?"
Hear the words.
Everyone in the teahouse burst into laughter!
"What kind of a big shot is Old Zhang? He's just an unhappy old fellow!"
A middle-aged man in his early 40s waved his hand and said:
"Hey! Don't listen to that old man Zhang's nonsense! His father was a tomb robber...but when he was a child, his father went to the Taklamakan Desert and never came out!"
"The experts who were investigating the ancient city of Jingjue even listened to him and went to the Taklamakan Desert to check it out! There was clearly nothing there!"
"I see you three are from out of town, right?"
Hu Jizhou and the other two nodded.
The middle-aged man said in a serious tone, "I advise you not to listen to that crazy old man... Last time, a few young people just wanted to get excited and believed his nonsense! They're probably in kindergarten now!"
Hu Jizhou was about to speak.
Old Zhang suddenly couldn't stand it anymore and slammed the table.
Then he stood up suddenly and said, "My father is not a tomb robber! He's just curious about the ancient tombs! Those young people died because they didn't listen to me! The experts didn't believe me either... They didn't even go into the Taklamakan Desert with me!"
however.
Old Zhang's hysterical shouting was ignored by everyone.
"So what do you want? Let these three young men accompany you to find your father? Let me tell you...it's been decades! Old Zhang, you're older than your father, it's time for you to let it go."
Everyone's advice was like a knife stabbing into Old Zhang's heart.
He was speechless.
I had no choice but to pay for the drinks and leave the teahouse.
Hu Jizhou and the other two looked at each other when they saw this.
He paid for the tea, lowered his hat, and followed her out of the teahouse.
The three of them followed Old Zhang along the winding road and finally stopped in front of a two-story Western-style building.
Old Zhang turned around and said, "You three are coming with me... If you have anything to say, just say it now! I'll be going home for a nap if it's any later."
Hear this.
Hu Jizhou and the other two just walked out from the corner of the alley.
Meng Yu bowed and said, "Old Senior, we have no ill intentions."
Hu Jizhou was more tactful.
He stepped forward and said, "I'm Hu Jizhou, a tomb robber. We came to Niya to rob tombs, but we can't find any, and we're not familiar with the Taklamakan Desert. We'd like to find someone to lead the way."
Meng Yu:?
Li Mengzhe:?
Isn't this right?
Are you going to tell me everything right away? Don't you want to test it out a bit?
however.
Old Zhang was not surprised at all.
He nodded: "Come in with me!"
...........
Inside Old Zhang’s house.
Hu Jizhou took a sip of the water and said, "Senior, have you known for a long time that we are tomb robbers?"
Old Zhang was silent for a moment before saying, "You three have dark circles under your eyes, each one heavier than the other. Your nails are cut close to your fingers, yet they're still covered in mud. You carry maps in your backpacks, pretending to be tourists, yet you're particularly interested in burial mounds, unique terrain, and places with historical legends."
"You have 'I'm a tomb robber' written all over your face! And you're asking me if I know you're tomb robbers?"
Li Mengzhe and Meng Yu both blushed.
Hu Jizhou didn't care.
But his tone gradually became respectful: "Old Senior... What's the basis for your claim that there are ancient tombs in the Taklamakan Desert?"
"The Niya River originates from the Kunlun Mountains, and the Taklamakan Desert is located to the north of the Kunlun Mountains. Looking at the map, the Taklamakan Desert looks like an eye, and the Niya River is its tear."
"After the Queen of Subi wiped out the ancient kingdom of Jingjue, she filled up the Niya River, turning the Taklamakan Desert from one with water in front and mountains behind into one with mountains behind and no water."
"The yellow sand that obscures the sky, coupled with countless casualties from the war... The Taklamakan Desert has become a natural ghost eye! The Queen of the Subi Kingdom built the mausoleum in the hope of transforming her own body into a ghost mother! Thus achieving physical immortality!"
Qin An put down the map in his hand.
His pupils trembled... He looked at the high and low sand dunes in front of him with some disbelief.
