Chapter 2 End of hibernation

 After settling the bill, the three of them walked out of the food stall.

Walking all the way to the corner to cover the food stall, Wu Xiaoxie couldn't hold back anymore and asked: "Muyu, what's wrong? Why did you leave so suddenly?"

Zhang Zhuoxun pulled him and hid behind a car on the side of the road, leaning out his head to look over there. When Lao Itch saw this, he also imitated the two of them.

Zhang Shuxun, who has night vision, could easily see a person wandering out from the door of the food stall. After a few glances in the direction where the three people left, he lowered his hat and walked over.

Zhang Zhuxun whispered in Wu Xiaoxie's ear: "Did you see the person over there wearing a gray jacket and a black hat? He was the one sitting at the table next to us just now. You two were talking too loudly before, and they were staring at you.

Come on us."

Wu Xiaoxie was startled and looked over there with squinted eyes, "Are they also scouring the sand?"

"It's almost the same." Zhang Zhuoxun nodded, "The man just wanted to ask if we were tomb robbers. I tried to put him off, but it seems that they have not let down their guard."

"I can feel the evil spirit on their bodies, and the earthy smell is also very strong. They are definitely not ordinary goods."

The old itch was anxious, "Well, what should we do?"

Wu Xiaoxie cursed, "Then let's go back to the hotel quickly."

The man in the black hat was less than ten meters away from them and was about to reach the corner.

Zhang Zhuoxun nodded, crouching and dragging Wu Xiaoxie around the car, and the three of them walked back to the hotel through another path.

Zhang Zhu asked Wu Xiaoxie, "Did you rent a standard room or a single room?"

"A single room." Wu Xiaoxie said, "What, you want to live with me?"

Zhang Zhuoxun said "hmm" and walked upstairs.

"Hey..." Wu Xiaoxie stretched out his hand halfway, then quickly took it back and spoke to the front desk, then hurriedly ran up and opened the door for Zhang Zhu who was standing in the corridor, "Why do you have to live with me?"

Ah, are you afraid of the dark? Here it is, 203."

Zhang Zhuoxun waited for him to open the door with the key and walked in first. He wanted to check the corners out of habit, but then he realized that pinhole cameras in this era were not as common as later generations.

"I'm not guarding you because I'm afraid you'll be in danger. You're such a noob that if someone sells you, you still help count the money." Zhang Zhuxun put his bag on the table, sat on the chair with his arms folded, and looked at Wu

Xiao Xie, "That one of yours called Lao Itchi, you two haven't seen each other for many years. Can you believe it? Why is he looking for you this time?"

Wu Xiaoxie chuckled and pulled a chair over to sit down, "I've always been itchy because I was a child. We grew up together, but later he was caught by the police for reselling antiques and spent three years in jail."<

/p>

Seeing the unkind look in Zhang Zhuoxun's eyes, Wu Xiaoxie quickly added, "But he is looking for me this time for a tomb in the Qinling Mountains. You also know that my half bucket of water is not good, so I had to find someone to take us down."<

/p>

"And he has gone into that tomb before and marked it. He also took a bronze bell from it, which is exactly the same as the one we saw before, just a few sizes smaller." Wu Xiaoxie said.

Zhang Zhu saw that he was talking excitedly and could not bear to attack him, "Tell me in detail."

Wu Xiaoxie told Zhang Shuxun how Lao Itch came to find him and what he had learned temporarily.

Zhang Zhuoxun nodded after listening, "Okay, let's go there. I have all the equipment ready. We will set off before 12 noon tomorrow. Let's rest first."

After saying that, he took out four sets of disposable sheets from the backpack (space), threw two sets on Wu Xiaoxie's bed, "One set and one cover."

(The naive fat guy thought that Zhang Shuxun had to rely on a medium such as a backpack to take out things from the treasure box. Zhang Shuxun didn’t explain it. The key is that it’s hard to explain)

Wu Xiaoxie had already experienced Zhang Zhuxun's mysophobia and hypocrisy, so he didn't say much. He spread one sheet on top of the original sheets, covered himself with another sheet, and put a quilt on top.

Zhang Zhuxun was woken up by the system prompt. When he saw that the time was past eleven o'clock, Wu Xiaoxie had already gotten up and left.

[Beep - The plot of the Qinling Sacred Tree begins]

[Release mission: Protect Wu Xiaoxie’s successful entry and exit from the Qinling Tomb]

[Task reward: materialization ability (intermediate level), additional reward: danger perception ability (elementary, perception range 100 meters)]

[Hey, you're alive, I thought you were going to let me go this time.]

[The system will not ignore the host]

[Okay, I won’t talk to you anymore, let me first explain what happened last time and where did my memory go? It’s just a small ball, why do you have to control my body.]

The system is silent.

Zhang Zhuxun was impatient, [Say quickly, don’t pretend to be dead.]

[That memory cannot be returned to the host for the time being, and the host’s ability cannot escape intact]

[I’ll be fine if I’m not injured.]

【Sorry, I tried my best】

Zhang Shuxun understood, [So you really went to a very dangerous place, and then you exhausted your energy and died, right?]

The system is silent again.

[Does that mean you can control my body at any time in the future and do things against my will?]

The system quickly replies [:No]

[Host consent required]

Zhang Zhuxun sneered, [Okay, I won’t bullshit you anymore, just pass this plot to me.]

He didn't ask the system about the materialization ability, because he knew that asking would be in vain. The dog system could only pretend to be dead.

After digesting the plot, Zhang Zhuoxun got up and packed a backpack for Wu Xiaoxie, who happened to be back with lunch.

The three of them had lunch together, checked out of the room and went out.

Lao Itch hired a car and the three of them got in. Zhang Zhuoxun took Wu Xiaoxie and sat in the back seat.

Lao Itch stared at the bulging backpacks of Zhang Shuxun and Wu Xiaoxie for several times, but because Zhang Shuxun kept a cold expression, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed and didn't dare to ask any more questions.

The biggest feature of the winding mountain road is that it has seven twists and turns, so Wu Xiaoxie successfully suffered from motion sickness.

Zhang Zhuoxun asked him to take motion sickness medicine and then cover his eyes to sleep, leaving a palm-wide slit in the car window for ventilation.

After driving for half an hour, an explosion sounded in the distance, waking Wu Xiaoxie.

"What happened? There was an earthquake?" Wu Xiaoxie rubbed his eyes and looked out the window.

The driver spoke in Mandarin with a strong local accent, "The three bosses must be from out of town. Someone is blowing up a tomb. They always do this every once in a while."

Wu Xiaoxie was surprised, "This tomb robber is so bold? Doesn't the police even care?"

The driver said "Hey", "What's the matter? The mountain on the opposite side is different from here. Although there is only the Jialing River between them, there is not even the most basic road over there. Unless you can put on your wings and fly over, otherwise

Even if you are as powerful as a policeman, you still have to travel for a day and a night, and by the time you get there, those people will be gone."

Lao Itch stammered: "Listen, listen to this, this movement, is it too much explosives?"
