Chapter 332 Refusing to Drink the Water He Gave Me
Huangfu Zique handed his phone to Mu Zhen so she could admire the results of his remote aerial photography.
Mu Zhen's eyes lit up.
It looks so beautiful from a distance!
The jungle was almost entirely submerged in white mist, revealing steep and towering mountain walls, as if everyone were in the depths of a fairyland with clouds and mist, a truly magnificent sight.
"Let's start here!" Emperor Tianhuang marked out a relatively flat area.
This place not only offers a wide view, but it's also the area he determined, based on the map, to be the most likely location for hidden treasure.
Otherwise, with big trees everywhere, why is it that only low weeds grow in this area?
Everything happens for a reason.
People obediently followed instructions and began to operate the system.
Some people are responsible for testing the soil, while others are responsible for detecting metallic substances.
"Is this thing really going to work? Is it too small?" Mu Zhen squatted down and fiddled with the instrument that an expert had placed next to him.
It looks like a metal detector, quite advanced. Although many technologies in this world are inferior to those of China, some technologies far surpass them.
Like the glass cutter that Mu Yunfei visited his house every night.
His alertness was developed from a young age; if the sound wasn't so faint, he could wake up immediately even when he was sound asleep.
But that cutter was no ordinary weapon. You see, he later replaced the door with a bulletproof one, but it still couldn't stop that kind of cutter.
When we return to China, we should take all these technologies with us.
If I can be of use to the country, then I will be someone who has the country as my backer in the future!
The middle-aged expert didn't answer Mu Zhen's obviously pointless question; instead, he used a stick to scan the ground thoroughly.
The two young men next to him were responsible for turning on the computer and analyzing the data transmitted from various detectors.
Yun Dan followed Long Yuan and the others, pretending to be doing something very professional with their unprofessional eyes, all of them discussing with great enthusiasm any place that might bury someone.
Only the four members of the Grey Wolf team did not rush to take out their equipment for on-site testing.
Instead, they climbed up a low slope with five middle-aged experts. The experts ignored them and naturally separated from them after climbing up.
After getting away from the experts, one of the men in the treasure-hunting team, wearing a black eagle mask, took out a notebook from his bag.
Upon opening the cover, the three large characters "Madame Di" immediately come into view.
The so-called general's wife was named Di Qiu, and at that time people generally referred to her as Madam Di.
It's a thick book, with each chapter filled with dense writing, mostly containing words like 'Liushutun' and 'Tianchi Mountain'.
"Ha! Back then, our grandmaster and his shrewd schemes were all it took to track down the treasure-hunting team of the Western Jiang tribe."
For over a hundred years, they have conducted a thorough search every five years.
If they knew that their real treasure was thousands of miles away from that place,
"Won't he be so angry he'll jump out of his coffin?"
The dwarf fox rolled its eyelids under its mask and said, "Tch! Didn't we also search for it for over a year?" As it spoke, it unfolded a map, on which was drawn something exactly the same as the treasure map in Mu Zhen's hand.
"I knew it back then, Tianchi Mountain is all sand, where are the lakes? It turns out that generations have been doing useless work." The man wearing the brown lion mask shook his head helplessly.
The gray wolf observed the terrain for a while, his brows furrowing deeper and deeper as he looked, his clear and wise black eyes scanning the mountains below back and forth.
The slightly chubby dwarf fox scratched his head: "But look over here, there's no lake anywhere. There's just a stream coming down from the mountain over there."
It led to a small river, less than one percent the size of the lake depicted on the map… Hey? Gray Wolf, what are you looking at? You seem so lost in thought, have you discovered something?”
The gray wolf stood with his hands on his hips, his back straight and his posture agile. When he heard the question, he still stared down without blinking and shook his head slightly.
"Tell us what you've found quickly, don't waste everyone's time. We're going on a sea trip with some people in two months."
"Yes, if we can really find the treasure for Emperor Tianhuang and his group before those experts do,..."
As long as we don't break the law, maybe if we find another treasure, we can directly cooperate with the royal family.
This is essentially getting a get-out-of-jail-free card; after all, if you walk by the river long enough, you're bound to get your shoes wet eventually. Although we're not antique dealers...
But some things are really hard to sell.
The three of them looked at the gray wolf at the same time.
Grey Wolf shook his head absently, still lost in thought: "I really didn't find anything related to Madam Di's treasure. It just feels like this place looks familiar, like I've seen it somewhere before."
But I couldn't remember where I'd seen it before.
His gaze swept over the surrounding mountain peaks, the thick fog covering the forests, and the stream in the distance, not daring to miss a single spot.
"I thought it was something else. Haven't I been looking at maps of this area a lot lately? Maybe I've been looking at them too much, and you dreamed about me last night."
That's why it feels familiar yet also like something from a long time ago; that's perfectly normal.
I often felt that the landscape of Tianchi Mountain was familiar, and then I realized that it was the same place I had dreamed about before. The short fox waved his hand in boredom and walked away.
The wolf didn't argue with him; only he himself knew best whether it was a dream or not.
He must have seen this place before.
Instead of searching for Lady Di's tomb, he simply pulled up his trousers, sat on a stone slab, and began to recall the past.
He had a premonition that as long as he remembered where he had seen this place before, the burial site of Madam Di would likely also come to light.
Steep mountain peaks, perpetual fog, and a dragon-shaped stream...
The combination of the two elements is not unusual, but what is unusual is the year-round fog, which is also the case in Guanxia Mountain in winter, making it quite rare.
Is that why his memory is so clear?
He must have seen this place before he was ten years old. His memory has always been very good, so it's impossible for it to be so blurry if it weren't so old.
I didn't realize this when I looked at the photos here, but now that I'm in the mountains, I find this scene so familiar.
"Look at the people you found, it's almost noon and they haven't taken any real action."
"Are you sure you're not wasting your money?" Huangfu Zique handed a bottle of water to Mu Zhen.
Realizing that his teasing tone was too obvious, he immediately whispered in the other person's ear, suggesting that they bring out the small giant pit to help them find it together.
Mu Zhen glanced coldly at the bottle of water, showing no intention of taking it, and instead pushed it away with her finger.
[I swore a solemn oath that if I ever drank water from this kid again, I'd change my surname to his!]
Huangfu Zique twitched his lips. What kind of nonsense was this guy thinking?
Can we compare now to then?
Besides, wasn't it Sun Beilei who put the medicine in? And she asked to drink it herself, so what business is it of his?
Besides, even if he did have some ideas, he wouldn't do them here, would he?
Mu Yunfei had already said that he would be sharing a tent with him that night.
He's guarding against him like he's guarding against a thief; he's almost suffocating because of Afei!
