Lin Chuan's words were laced with sarcasm.
Dealing with a woman like A Ning.
There was no better way to make her see the truth.
Lin Chuan asked, "Do you have the antidote?"
Yang Yi nodded.
She took a pill from her cloth bag and stuffed it into A Ning's mouth.
Soon, A Ning on the ground stirred.
It was the sound of sobbing.
Wu Xie said in disbelief, "A Ning, are you crying?"
In his interactions with her, he had always felt that she was a woman of resolute character.
But now, she was actually crying.
Wang Pangzi understood and said, "This chick and that old man must have had a special relationship. She was so loyal, but he just discarded her. Sigh, what a pitiful pawn."
A Ning seemed to have recovered and slowly stood up from the ground.
She no longer had the hostility she had before.
A Ning wiped away her tears and said in a flat tone, "Thank you. You made me truly see his face."
Lin Chuan thought to himself, this removed a hidden danger.
He could continue moving forward.
But at this time, Wu Xie couldn't help but ask, "A Ning, so what's the deal with my third uncle?"
At this point.
A Ning no longer hesitated and said directly, "Your third uncle didn't come."
"What?! My third uncle didn't come?!"
Wu Xie was obviously taken aback and shouted in confusion, "Then why did you guys trick me into coming here?"
"Calm down."
Wang Pangzi put his arm around Wu Xie's shoulder and comforted him, "Well, at least your third uncle isn't here. Otherwise, there would be Jinpo outside, and then some kind of... mermaid, how dangerous."
Wu Xie took a deep breath and calmed down slightly, saying, "That may be true, but... what was the purpose of this?"
A Ning shook her head and explained, "Your third uncle gave us the details of the underwater tomb. The only condition was to invite you in. What he wants to do specifically, I don't know."
At this point, Lin Chuan finally understood.
Why A Ning in the original television show knew about the traps in the tomb.
It was all revealed by Wu Sanxing in advance.
"Dumb Zhang?!"
Just then, Wang Pangzi suddenly shouted.
Lin Chuan turned to look.
Sure enough, he saw Zhang Qiling standing at the door.
Wang Pangzi asked, "Where's the Jinpo?"
Zhang Qiling shook his head, "It ran away."
Lin Chuan said, "Did you encounter the White-haired Drought Demon?"
Zhang Qiling nodded, "That thing cannot be killed."
Lin Chuan said, "I was worried you would kill it. Otherwise, the black phosphorus mermaids down there would run rampant."
Wang Pangzi asked, "Did you find the entrance to the main tomb chamber?"
Zhang Qiling shook his head again.
The next words he said really shocked Wang Pangzi and the others.
"I've been here.
As he spoke, he walked to a wall and gently traced the familiar markings etched on it.
He was certain.
This mark was left by his past self here.
Wang Pangzi asked, "You've been here? When? In a dream?"
Zhang Qiling thought for a moment and finally shook his head, "I don't remember."
Wang Pangzi asked, "Well, you've forgotten when you came here, how come you're already suffering from senile dementia at such a young age."
Yang Yi understood the situation and guessed, "He must have amnesia."
"Brother Lin, am I right?"
Lin Chuan, seeing things had reached this point, said directly, "Twenty years ago, the West Sha archaeological dig, he was a member."
Twenty years ago?!
Hearing this time, everyone present was incredulous.
Even A Ning snapped out of her sadness.
"Impossible!"
"He looks no older than me. How is it possible?!"
Wu Xie's face was filled with astonishment.
"There's nothing impossible."
"Sometimes, what the eyes see is not the truth."
Lin Chuan said.
Wu Xie wanted to ask Zhang Qiling about Wu Sanxing.
But Wang Pangzi interrupted him, "Tianzhen, don't bother, this guy has amnesia."
These guys, their minds are so fragile.
Lin Chuan sighed in his heart.
After that, he finally walked out of the ear chamber.
Outside was a very wide passageway. At the end of the passageway was a stone door, and it had been opened.
The strange thing was that the lamp stands placed on both sides of the passageway were still lit.
Illuminating the passageway that should have been pitch black.
Yang Yi followed him out and exclaimed in surprise, "Are these perpetual lamps?"
Lin Chuan thought of the black-scaled mermaids outside and guessed, "The oil extracted from black-scaled mermaids can burn forever. I think the oil used in these perpetual lamps is extracted from black-scaled mermaids."
Wang Pangzi and the others quickly followed behind.
"There are dragon heads on both sides of this passage. I have a feeling there might be a trap."
"Maybe if you step on the wrong brick, there'll be crossbow arrows shooting out."
"They'll shoot us into a sieve."
Wang Pangzi guessed.
"胖子, didn't you see? The door over there is open. How could there be a trap?"
Wu Xie shone his flashlight in front of him.
"I opened it."
Zhang Qiling said.
Wu Xie was speechless. He knew Zhang Qiling's skills. If there was a trap, he wouldn't have stepped on it.
Seeing their cautious appearance, Lin Chuan said directly, "Let's go, just don't step on the round bricks on the ground."
Yang Yi keenly noticed something wrong with the mechanism above and reminded, "Brother Lin, Fatty's right. The dragon heads on top have arrow ports. We should be careful."
Lin Chuan explained, "The crossbow trap in this passage is a lotus head. It won't harm anyone. It's just the tomb owner's way of showing off."
Hearing Lin Chuan's explanation, A Ning realized that it was surprisingly consistent with what she had learned from Wu Sanxing.
"You seem to have been here before?"
A Ning asked.
"No, this is my first time here. Of course, you might not believe me."
Lin Chuan wasn't lying.
But what he said, obviously, the others were skeptical of.
Only Yang Yi said, "Brother Lin, I believe you."
Lin Chuan smiled.
He was wondering about Yang Yi's eyes.
She seemed to be able to see many things.
The group walked through the passageway, past the stone door, and into a tomb chamber.
A coffin was placed in the tomb chamber.
When Wang Pangzi saw this, his eyes lit up.
"Dumb Zhang, you're so patient!"
"Such a coffin made of golden nanmu wood, you could actually resist opening it?!"
"We're rich! We're rich!"
"If we sell this, it would fetch a fortune."
Zhang Qiling didn't pay any attention to him.
He turned on his flashlight, examined the surroundings, and then slowly spoke.
"When I came out, it wasn't this one."
