Inner Mongolia.
Ox Heart Mountain.
The old Party Secretary's house.
“You came, you came, why bring so many things.”
The old Party Secretary was very enthusiastic when he saw Hu Ba Yi and Wang Pang Zi carrying large and small bags.
“Just some small things, they are not worth much.”
Hu Ba Yi smiled, put down the gifts and said, “Old Party Secretary, this is Lu Feng, our friend, he bought most of these things.”
“How can this be, come, come, have a seat.”
The old Party Secretary was surprised and delighted, his fondness for Lu Feng increased.
Lu Feng was in no hurry, so he chatted with Hu Ba Yi and the old Party Secretary in the room: “Old Party Secretary, how come we haven’t seen any young men along the way?”
Hu Ba Yi and Wang Pang Zi were also curious.
“Some time ago, someone discovered a Liao Dynasty tomb behind Ox Heart Mountain, and a team of archaeologists came. They took all the men to work.”
Hu Ba Yi and Wang Pang Zi froze, they looked at each other and showed a look of shock, sure enough, as Lu Feng said, there was a tomb discovered on Ox Heart Mountain.
Lu Feng glanced at Hu Ba Yi and continued, “What about those jars and bottles in the village?”
“They were handed over.”
“Handed over?”
“Yes, all handed over. After those jars and bottles were handed over, each household received several bags of rice.”
Several bags of rice?
Wang Pang Zi's mouth twitched unnaturally.
Even a single piece could have provided several bags of rice for the whole village. They handed over everything and only received a few bags of rice, that was a wad of cash!
Lu Feng spoke again, “What about the nearby villages?”
“All the villages within ten miles have handed them over.” The old Party Secretary said.
“I see.”
Hu Ba Yi and Wang Pang Zi looked at each other. As Lu Feng said, they wouldn't be able to find any antiques in Ox Heart Mountain.
However.
Fortunately, Lu Feng knew there was a tomb here and wouldn't come for nothing.
The night passed without incident.
Lu Feng got up early and practiced Tai Chi by the river.
An hour later.
Hu Ba Yi and Wang Pang Zi came to the river.
“Lu Ye, what are you doing?” Wang Pang Zi asked.
“Practicing.”
Lu Feng knew it was Hu Ba Yi and Wang Pang Zi without turning around,
“Practicing?” Wang Pang Zi looked at Hu Ba Yi with a puzzled expression, “Lao Hu, you’ve seen a lot, can you tell me about this?”
“It seems to be Tai Chi.”
Hu Ba Yi had seen a move or two, but couldn't be sure.
“This thing is good for health, but if you really fight someone, it’s just a fancy show, not practical at all.” Wang Pang Zi said.
Lu Feng didn't argue.
He slowly finished his practice.
“Hu Ba Yi, Wang Pang Zi, I plan to go to Wild Man Ravine today.”
“Today?”
“Are you looking for the tomb?”
“Yes.”
“Are you sure the tomb is in Wild Man Ravine?” Wang Pang Zi questioned.
“The feng shui pattern of Wild Man Ravine is good. As long as you find the place with twin peaks embracing the moon, the tomb is not far away.” Lu Feng said.
“Twin peaks embracing the moon?”
Hu Ba Yi's eyes flashed with a glint, “I didn’t expect Lu Xiong to understand feng shui.”
“I know a little bit.”
Lu Feng waved his hand.
“What is twin peaks embracing the moon?” Wang Pang Zi curiously asked.
“The ancients emphasized absorbing the essence of heaven, earth, sun, and moon. The feng shui pattern of twin peaks embracing the moon is like someone opening their arms to hold the moon. This pattern is a feng shui treasure land.” Hu Ba Yi explained.
Wang Pang Zi suddenly understood and curiously asked, “What feng shui pattern is the Liao Empress's tomb then?”
“How would I know, I’ve never seen it.” Hu Ba Yi said.
“It's Nine Dragons Guarding the Jade Lotus.” Lu Feng said.
“This feng shui pattern sounds amazing, it’s worthy of being the Empress’s tomb.” Wang Pang Zi was in awe, “Unfortunately, we’re too late.”
Hu Ba Yi was surprised.
Seen in a dream?
Wasn't the content of this dream a bit much and a bit detailed?
He felt that Lu Feng was not as simple as he appeared.
“Let's not talk about this, let's have breakfast first.”
“Yes, yes.”
……
……
“You guys are going to Wild Man Ravine?”
“Yes.”
“There are bears, wild boars and other wild animals in Wild Man Ravine. Besides, you're not familiar with the mountains. You can’t go there, you’re bound to get lost.” The old Party Secretary advised.
“We just want to hunt, we won’t go too deep.”
“We’re so many people, we’ll run if we encounter a wild animal, right?”
“Old Party Secretary, just give us directions and we’ll go.”
“Alright, I’ll find a hunter to protect you. At least you won’t get lost in the mountains.” The old Party Secretary couldn't persuade them, so he changed his mind.
Hu Ba Yi and Wang Pang Zi simultaneously looked at Lu Feng. After all, they were going to rob graves. The fewer people who knew the better.
Lu Feng didn't refuse: “I heard there's a female hunter named Ying Zi?”
“There is such a person.” The old Party Secretary said.
“Then her.”
“Alright, I’ll ask someone to find her.”
Half an hour later.
A spirited girl appeared in front of Lu Feng.
“Let me introduce you. This is Ying Zi, a member of the Oroqen ethnic group. She's a deer hunter. She knows the mountains very well.” The old Party Secretary said.
“Brother Lu, is this the person you specifically asked for? A little girl, can she do it?” Wang Pang Zi was amused.
“What’s wrong with being a girl? You guys wouldn't be able to get out of the forest if you relied on yourselves.” Ying Zi was very unhappy when she heard the fat man's words, “Besides, there are no men anyway.”
“Hey, you’re quite arrogant!”
Wang Pang Zi was unhappy.
“Alright.”
Lu Feng glared at Wang Pang Zi: “Don’t look down on Ying Zi, she is familiar with the mountains. With her, we won't be wandering around in the mountains.”
“If you said so, I have no objection.”
“I have no objection either.”
“Then let’s get ready to leave.”
Ying Zi couldn’t help but look at Lu Feng a few more times. She thought Hu Ba Yi was the one who was in charge, but didn't expect him to listen to the younger Lu Feng.
And Lu Feng didn't look down on her because she was a woman.
They brought dry food and water.
Four people, four horses, and four giant mastiffs, they set off for Wild Man Ravine.
They walked along the river.
It was dusk when they finally entered Wild Man Ravine.
Ying Zi found an open space and looked at Lu Feng, “We’ll set up camp here tonight. Is it okay if we take turns standing watch?”
“No problem.”
