Chapter 48 The oriole is behind
Although Xie Lianhuan was afraid of poisonous snakes, he knew that the plan had to continue.
So, suppressing the urge to rummage through every nook and cranny of the tomb, Jie Lianhuan sat down in a corner of the tomb.
Apart from him, the other two team members who vomited were able to walk with difficulty, but their steps were still unsteady.
After all, they were an archaeological team, and they couldn't be like tomb raiders who would leave as soon as they saw no valuable antiques.
So everyone began to busy themselves in the tomb.
Someone took a drawing board and sketched the patterns on some of the porcelain vases.
Someone wrote down what they saw in a notebook.
"Sansheng, you haven't been feeling well since this morning. Take a break now."
Chen Wenjin noticed that the fake Wu Sansheng was not behaving properly, so he went over to comfort him.
Jie Lianhuan sighed inwardly, feeling only regret, because in his view,
The real Chen Wenjin had already died during that funeral procession in Banna.
This archaeological team suffered numerous misfortunes, with members of the Xie family taking their place at the time.
Now, because Chen Wenjin and Huo Ling are behaving too normally, Jie Lianhuan suspects that the archaeological team has been replaced by his own people again.
Even so, the play must continue, otherwise all the hard work of many people will be wasted.
"I'll take a nap. Remember to call me if anything happens."
After Chen Wenjin agreed, Xie Lianhuan leaned against the tomb guardian beast and closed his eyes to doze off.
At this moment, Cheng Feng was squatting by the pool. At first, some people thought that Cheng Feng had discovered something and came over to take a look.
But there was nothing in the water, so he cursed under his breath and went to observe elsewhere.
In fact, Cheng Feng was releasing the Pure Land Āgama into the water.
A whole day has passed, and the task of eliminating the water monkeys and forbidden women is still not complete.
He had no choice but to increase the dosage. As long as the water monkeys continued to live near this underwater tomb, he refused to believe they could escape the pursuit of countless snakes.
"Cheng Feng, you've been squatting here for ages, what are you looking at?"
Unable to contain her curiosity, Huo Ling also came to Cheng Feng's side and looked into the water.
Cheng Feng pointed underwater, signaling Huo Ling to look carefully.
Then Huo Ling saw a black figure with red stripes swimming downwards.
"Why are you looking at snakes instead of looking at all those burial objects in the tomb?"
What no one noticed was that when Huo Ling mentioned the water snake, Wu Sansheng, who seemed to be fast asleep, twitched his eyelids.
After a while, the taciturn young man suddenly spoke:
"There's some noise outside, I'm going to check it out."
Chen Wenjin opened her mouth to say something, but before she could utter a sound, Zhang Qiling swiftly disappeared from the tomb chamber.
The young man's actions brought a hint of worry to Chen Wenjin's eyes.
She glanced back at Wu Sansheng, who was still fast asleep, and was about to try to calm things down when Li Sidi spoke up as well:
"I heard something too, let's go check it out!"
Apart from Cheng Feng and Huo Ling, everyone else chimed in.
With Zhang Qiling leading the way, the others also became restless.
"Everyone……"
Chen Wenjin was a little anxious, but everyone was already heading outside.
She hurriedly tried to wake Wu Sansheng, but Wu Sansheng seemed to be fast asleep and did not move at all.
"Sister Wenjin, let him rest here. There's no danger anyway."
Chen Wenjin looked up at Huo Ling and Cheng Feng who had stayed behind, and finally nodded in agreement.
Having made her decision, Chen Wenjin no longer hesitated and left the tomb with Huo Ling and Cheng Feng.
As soon as the three of them left the tomb, they only saw the back of the last person. They followed Zhang Qiling to the back hall.
Huo Ling and Chen Wenjin immediately tried to follow.
The three of them jogged to catch up with the others, and by the time Chen Wenjin and Huo Ling entered the tomb door leading to the rear hall...
Cheng Feng suddenly grabbed the two of them.
The two turned around at the same time, both about to ask a question.
Cheng Feng quickly covered their mouths again and shook his head slightly to signal them not to speak.
Seeing that the two understood his actions, Cheng Feng slowly withdrew his hand.
"Don't speak, walk quietly and follow me. I'll explain later."
After Cheng Feng finished speaking, he pulled the two of them and started to walk back.
They exchanged a glance, and finally, after Chen Wenjin nodded slightly, they followed Cheng Feng quietly.
Cheng Feng led the two women into a side room and gestured for them to turn off their flashlights.
In the darkness, Chen Wenjin frowned, unable to understand what Cheng Feng was up to.
But she remained calm and confident that she had ways to deal with unexpected situations.
Although Huo Ling did not have the same composure as Chen Wenjin, she was still intelligent, but she became wary of Cheng Feng in her heart.
Just then, footsteps were heard, and the light of a flashlight came on.
Cheng Feng raised his hand to his lips, signaling the two to be quiet.
After the footsteps faded into the distance, Cheng Feng turned on his flashlight.
"Was that Sansheng guy just now? You dragged us away to stay just for that?"
Chen Wenjin looked at Cheng Feng and asked expressionlessly.
Cheng Feng didn't keep them in suspense and said directly, "You're wrong. This person isn't Wu Sansheng, but Xie Lianhuan!"
"If that's the case, could the body found on the road be Wu Sansheng?"
Chen Wenjin remained calm and didn't question or deny anything like most girls would.
They immediately began analyzing the situation based on what Cheng Feng had described.
"No, that corpse wasn't either of them; it was just a sacrifice they made to hide behind the scenes."
After silently processing the information Cheng Feng had revealed, Chen Wenjin continued:
"Cheng Feng, how did you find out about these things?"
Cheng Fengdao:
"Actually, four people arrived here early last night: Wu Sansheng, Xie Lianhuan, Qi Yu, and me!"
A few things happened during that time, and I learned quite a few interesting things.
Huo Ling had been listening attentively, and after Cheng Feng finished speaking, she asked in a low voice:
"Cheng Feng, even if what you said is true, why did you only tell us this one thing?"
Cheng Feng looked at the two of them meaningfully and said, "Because you are the only real ones here."
The two women didn't understand what Cheng Feng meant, and were about to ask him further when Cheng Feng added:
"Let's go, or we'll miss a good show."
After saying that, Cheng Feng walked out of the side room.
Chen Wenjin and Huo Ling quickly followed Cheng Feng.
The archaeological team, who had already arrived at the rear hall, were now facing extreme danger.
They were surrounded by snakes, but fortunately, Zhang Qiling was in the group, so no one was lost yet.
"There are more and more of these strange snakes! Everyone, let's think of something!"
The group had their backs against a wall, but their path was blocked by a swarm of snakes.
Zhang Qiling held an entrenching tool in his hand, and there were already more than a dozen snake corpses at his feet.
“Use signal flares; these snakes are afraid of light.”
After Zhang Qiling finished speaking, someone in the group took out a signal flare, lit it, and threw it into the snake swarm.
The Pure Vision Agamas, which had quickly gathered together, began to scatter and flee in all directions.
Zhang Qiling took this opportunity to lead everyone into a tomb passage.
Meanwhile, Xie Lianhuan, who plays Wu Sansheng, has already arrived at the Eight Gates Mechanism by waterway.
Because I was well prepared for this trip, although I encountered many Pure Vision Agamas, I managed to avoid them all without any serious danger.
