Chapter 93 The Uninvited Guest

Tofu lowered his voice and said: "Let's go too, this old boy has a bad eye, don't let him choose all the good things." In fact, the gold itself is not worth much, and the heaviest piece of gold brick is nothing more than twenty The real value is not the gold itself, but its craftsmanship and antique status. Relatively speaking, gold is not the most precious among antiques.

According to the ranking, bronze is the most expensive in the antique world, and the value of antiques is that the older they are, the less they are in stock, the more expensive they are.Of course, that is from an archaeological point of view.From the perspective of market collection, it also depends on the eye, that is, the buyer's preference.Youdao is gold in troubled times, antiques in prosperous times, antiques, that is, things for rich people to play with their status.Of course, there are also some people who really love antiques. If such people have no money, they can only look at them.

Tofu and I couldn't see where we were, so we hurried over to prevent Feng Gui from picking up all the good stuff.Gu Damei was left alone, high-spirited and upright, with the spirit of killing thieves like us.

Tofu and I leaned towards the golden place, while being on guard, the black shadow who didn't know if it was a human or a ghost, and we don't know where it went, maybe it hid in a dark place again, trying to harm us.I asked Tofu to pick things up, and I stood by myself on guard. At this moment, in the silent tomb, there was a faint voice of people talking.

The voice came very abruptly. After listening carefully, it was the voice of a strange man.

When we heard it suddenly, we stopped what we were doing at the same time, and subconsciously turned our heads to the direction of the source of the sound.I saw that it was the place near the wall of the tomb, where stood a stone gate, and the voice came from behind the stone gate.Accompanied by the man's voice, there was a series of noisy footsteps, which seemed to be quite a number of people.

At first I thought it was Lu Su and the others who spoke, but when I heard the footsteps again, I felt something was wrong, there were far more than three people.Immediately afterwards, another indistinct female voice came. This time I recognized it. It was the voice of Xiaomei Ren.Gu Wenmin's complexion changed, and he stopped being angry with us. He lowered his voice and said, "Is it them? This woman is cruel and ruthless, and there are so many people, we can't confront them head-on."

Tofu asked, "Then what should we do now?"

Gu Wenmin reacted quickly, pointed to the passage we slid down, and said, "Hide in first."

Although Feng Guishou had never met Ren Xiaomei, he was still very clear about the power of her family, and he didn't dare to be careless. The group immediately climbed into the passageway when they came.

The entrance of the passage is located above the tomb chamber, the bottom is long and the top is short, so if you hide in it, even if the people below look up, you can't see us at all, but we can easily observe their actions. Gu Wenmin chose such a place out of desperation, it was a wrong choice .It's just that this passage is very slippery, and we have to work hard to fix our bodies. Hiding here is not a long-term solution.

Not long after I hid in, I heard the creaking sound of the stone door being pushed in the tomb. I looked down quietly along the narrow crack of the passage, and saw that the stone door was pushed open.From behind the stone gate, two women and five men came out one after another, a total of seven people, one of the women was Ren Xiaomei, and the other was older, with a cold expression, and a pistol in her hand, it looked bad dealt with.

Looking at the five men again, they were muscular, their eyes were full, and they were very vigilant. Two of them were armed with guns, and three of them were armed with long knives, and they carried bulging equipment bags on their backs.

Several people entered the tomb, and they were all attracted by the rich funerary objects, which was similar to our previous state.One of the hook-nosed men said excitedly: "Miss Ren really has the ability, this oil bucket is enough for the brothers to eat for a lifetime."

Beauty Ren sneered, with a very pleasant voice, and said, "No prospect. Is this what you've been pursuing for the rest of your life?"

The man giggled, his eyes gleaming with greed: "Brothers who lick blood with knife-edges, don't have the courage of you, Miss Ren."

Beauty Ren refused to accept this, and said: "Take it yourself, don't take too much, there are still things to do next." In an instant, the five men began to pick things in the funeral room.A jade belt that I was looking at was also picked up by the hooked nose. If the situation didn't allow it, I really wanted to beat him up.

On the other end, Beauty Ren and the older woman were unmoved, they whispered to each other, their voices gradually lowered, and for a while I couldn't hear what they were saying, only vaguely heard a few words, Talk about organs, loopholes, and what to do.

The route of Ren Meimei's group is obviously different from ours. They didn't fall into the ghost mirror. Probably my luck is really at work, and any dangerous things have happened to our group.There is a folk saying that people's luck can be changed with the help of external forces, for example, doing more good deeds can improve one's luck.But as the saying goes, good people don't live long, and evils last for thousands of years. In my case, I really don't know whether it will work or not.Maybe if you do too many good things, you will die sooner.

After a while, the voices of the two gradually increased. It seemed that there was some dispute, so she let the little beauty say: "We have avoided several dangerous places along the way, and there is no danger. However, the information left by the ancestors is passed on by word of mouth. , It is inevitable that there are omissions, according to the previous statement, open this door, there is a jade bridge and waterfall behind the door, behind the waterfall is the main tomb, how did you come to this funeral room?"

I can understand it, we have had a hard journey together, not to mention, this beautiful woman indeed has the clues left by her ancestors, and she avoided the dangerous place all the way to get here.For a while, I could only sigh with emotion, saying that I couldn't blame others for this matter, I could only say that I didn't have a good ancestor.But now it seems that there is something wrong with the clue, and the lead is wrong.

After Ren Xiaomei finished speaking, the older woman answered, "There should be a mistake in the information, but it's okay. Since this is the funeral room, it shouldn't be too far from the main tomb."

Beauty Ren looked around, obviously very puzzled, and said: "Apart from the place where we came, there is no secret door here, could there be some mechanism?" She said, beckoning to one of the men.The man was skinny and ordinary in appearance, but it was worth noting that his ten fingers were slender and thicker than ordinary people, and he also had a pair of mechanical hands.

Seeing this, I couldn't help turning my head to look at Feng Guishou. He shook his head, leaned into my ear, and said in a low voice: "Second-rate character, don't worry about it."

The organist had no choice but to stop picking after receiving the order, and turned to explore the surrounding tomb walls, looking for secret passages, and returned in vain.Ren Xiaomei said angrily: "Trash!"

The older woman frowned and said, "Xiaoling, you should calm down your temper."

Ren Xiaomei snorted, and said: "Feng Jiangyi is a good hand on the road, but it's a pity that he became a lackey for old man Zhao."

Feng Guishou next to me suddenly became short of breath, and spat in a low voice: "You son of a bitch." When I saw his expression, I immediately understood that Feng Jiangyi probably meant him.So I lowered my voice and asked: "Is there any mechanism in this tomb? If you were you, would you be able to find it?" Feng Guishou calmed down and whispered: "I was just focusing on picking things before and didn't pay attention, but if there is a secret way , That's nothing to worry about. The kid just now can only say that his kung fu is not up to scratch."

The organist who was scolded looked a little annoyed, but he probably obeyed others, so he didn't say much, and turned his head to continue picking things.Then the older woman frowned and educated Ren Meimei, saying: "Ren Ling, your temper is getting worse and worse. Although these people work under us, don't forget, without these people, Ren The family is just an empty shell, if you don't restrain your temper and offend everyone on the road, the Ren family will not tolerate you."

Only then did Ren Ling restrain his expression. Although Ren was not angry, his tone became much better, and he said, "I have received news that we are not the only ones in this tomb. It's time to fight, two days earlier than us, but we haven't gone out yet."

The older woman said: "Have you checked out who Wei Nanjing brought?" She called out the name of Zhangyanwei Nanjing, and she seemed to be familiar with all the people on the road.

Ren Ling said: "Ghost hand Feng Jiangyi, smiling fox Luo Ren, and Lu Su."

"Lu Su?" The older woman was taken aback, and said, "Old man Zhao even invited him?"

I've heard Feng Guishou mention Lu Su, this man is skilled in steel knives, he is gentle and refined, and he is not annoying after hearing the description, why is this woman so frightened when she mentions him?Could it be that there are other backgrounds?
Thinking about it this way, I couldn't help but look at Feng Guishou, motioning for him to give an explanation.
