Chapter 32: Ghost Fire! Heavenly Star Feng Shui, Old Hu Is Ashamed!
With water.
The archaeological team no longer left, setting up camp and planning to rest here.
“Gurgling!”
Over the bonfire.
A boiling kettle, steaming with heat, exuded a fragrance.
This was a vegetable soup that Shirley Yang had specially prepared for Han Li to express her gratitude, using organic vegetables.
In the desert.
Water is precious, meat is precious, but vegetables are even more precious!
Not to mention vegetable soup!
Hao Ai Guo and the others kept licking their cracked lips, their mouths dry, unable to even swallow saliva, only able to make their throats ache…
They hadn't had water yet!
Because the more than ten camels were still drinking water.
Moreover!
Even if they could drink water…
They could only eat the remaining steamed buns to fill their stomachs.
After being exposed to the wind and sun for a while, the steamed buns had not been properly preserved, and they were quite hard and tasteless to chew.
Even soaking them in water to eat…
Seeing Han Li and his group enjoying their delicious food, their hearts ached!
They were probably just going through the motions, like eating sand!
No one paid any attention to Hao Ai Guo and the others.
When An Li Man took out fermented mare’s milk to entertain them, the atmosphere reached a point of harmony.
Old Hu puffed on his cigarette, feeling this was the kind of atmosphere that a team should have.
However!
Because Hao Ai Guo and the others had just finished drinking water, he didn't speak up, wanting to avoid disrupting the unity.
“Everyone has eaten and drank enough, and rested well, right?”
At that moment.
Han Li suddenly spoke up, unexpectedly.
The group was stunned and looked at Han Li, who rarely took the initiative to speak.
Shirley Yang narrowed her eyes slightly!
She was a foreigner and had learned a lot of team management knowledge on Wall Street.
She quickly realized…
This represented the fact that the right to speak for the team had been completely transferred to Han Li!
Han Li began to exercise his authority and command the team!
Shirley Yang did not object.
On the contrary, she was delighted!
As long as Han Li could lead her to find the ancient city of Jingjue, she would promise him…ahem, give him money. It wouldn’t be a problem.
Facing the gazes of the group, Han Li said calmly, “I have some good news to tell you…”
“There's a high chance that this well leads to an ancient tomb!”
“It might be related to the ancient city of Jingjue!”
As soon as these words came out.
The camp suddenly fell silent!
There’s a tomb…below the well?
How did he figure that out?
Old Hu frowned, clearly not believing that it would be so coincidental…
He looked up at the sky where the stars were gathered.
The stars shone brightly in the darkness, forming a guiding map for people to explore.
“No…”
Old Hu gasped.
Upon hearing this, the Fatty beside him said, “Did Han Xiao Ge misjudge?”
“No!”
Old Hu suddenly stood up, looking at Han Li in disbelief:
“It’s true… it does fit the theory of Heavenly Star Feng Shui, this place is indeed a treasure land!”
The moment he finished speaking.
Old Hu’s gaze remained fixed on Han Li, feeling disbelief!
Before.
He had given out the “Sixteen-Word Yin-Yang Feng Shui Secret Technique,” and Han Li had flipped through it quickly at the time…
He thought Han Li didn’t understand!
But now——
If he didn’t understand the “Sixteen-Word Yin-Yang Feng Shui Secret Technique,” he wouldn’t be able to see it at all!
Moreover!
An absurd thought arose in Old Hu’s mind!
Han Li probably not only understood it, but his understanding of the “Sixteen-Word Yin-Yang Feng Shui Secret Technique” was probably deeper than his own 20 years of experience!
Because!
He had stared at the stars for a while!
He used the ‘results’ to deduce the celestial phenomena, only to confirm that there was indeed a large tomb under the well!
Otherwise.
If he were to deduce it himself, he would need to use his family’s compass and other tools to find the truth!
Everyone knew that Old Hu was proficient in Heavenly Star Feng Shui.
Now that Old Hu had confirmed that it was true!
It meant that Han Li wasn’t making it up!
There was indeed a large tomb under the well, and it was a tomb related to the ancient city of Jingjue!
This news immediately made everyone excited!
They were worried about where to go next to find the ancient city of Jingjue!
The clue had just been delivered to their doorstep!
“It’s really like searching for a needle in a haystack!”
Professor Chen sighed.
The group immediately took their flashlights and walked towards the well…
Just now when they were fetching water, it felt fine.
But now, looking down into the well, they felt a sense of eeriness.
The well, with no light source, was bottomless, darkness swallowing up all light!
“I'll go down first!”
Old Hu volunteered to take the lead!
“Together!”
Han Li took the initiative again.
Because.
He took the initiative to suggest it because he wanted to go down first!
He wanted to obtain the opportunity to unlock the inheritance of Han Tianzun from this ancient tomb of the Prince of Gu Mo!
The dark and dilapidated bottom of the well!
Before reaching the water source at the bottom of the well.
Han Li and Old Hu discovered that there were stairs on the walls of the well…
The stairs led to an ancient, carved wooden door.
After confirming that there were no hidden weapons or traps, Old Hu shook the rope to signal safety.
Those above received the signal and slowly descended along the rope.
When everyone had gathered at the bottom of the well, there was a sudden rumbling sound!
Everyone was startled!
The Fatty took his searchlight and shone it towards the source of the sound, discovering that Han Li had pushed open the ancient wooden door!
This stone door with carvings, was easily pushed open by Han Li…
The Full-Level Elephant Armor Technique gave him the strength of an elephant god!
This heavy stone door was no different from a regular wooden door in his house!
“Ah!!”
At that moment!
Ye Yi Xin screamed!
Behind the tomb door, one after another, small flames ignited!
Everyone was immediately frightened, their faces pale!
“Ghost… ghost fire!”
Chu Jian’s fingers trembled as he pointed at the flames floating in the darkness, his body involuntarily trembling.
“Old Hu, isn’t it ‘Ghost Blows the Lamp’? How did it become ‘Ghost Lights the Lamp’?”
The Fatty’s eyes widened.
“Don’t be afraid.”
Professor Chen said in a deep voice.
He looked at the students with a sense of disappointment.
“This is a method used in the past, using white phosphorus that ignites when it comes into contact with air, causing it to light up suddenly!”
He explained to them.
Scientifically explaining it had a calming effect.
The archaeological team, following Han Li and Old Hu one after another, entered.
Wang Fatty, as always, brought up the rear.
When he reached the door, he pushed against the stone door with one hand.
But he found that the stone door was so heavy that he could not budge it even with all his might!
Thinking about how Han Li had just pushed it open…
Effortlessly!
Wang Fatty felt a little dazed and confused!
“Damn it, Han Xiao Ge really is worth two… no, five, ten people when he takes action!!”
