Hearing the words spoken by the other party, Han Zhen's pupils shrank suddenly, and he quickly stopped the knife that was hitting him.

However, looking at the hands that were clutching his forearms like mummies, Han Zhen still reluctantly used his strength to break free of the other party's restraints.

"You said you know the way out?" Han Zhen asked suspiciously. He was still a little doubtful. Looking at the miserable appearance of the other party, it didn't look like he could lead him and Lu Liang out of this underground palace.

After Han Zhen threw away his hands, the mummy-like man sat up with difficulty. When he heard Han Zhen's question, he quickly responded in a hoarse voice: "I know, I can show you the way.

But you must take me out with you."

At this time, Lu Liang, who had been standing behind Han Zhen, couldn't help but ask: "Who are you? How do you know how to get out? Why should we trust you?"

Lu Liang asked three questions in a row, but saw that the thin man sitting on the ground just looked at him blankly, with no intention of answering.

The little Taoist priest continued to ask angrily: "If you don't answer my question, then you have a ghost in your heart? Maybe you are a ghost. You asked us to take you with us. I don't plan to take the risk of bringing an unknown guy."

The skinny man's withered face twitched slightly, but there was no trace of life on his face. Lu Liang and Han Zhen couldn't tell if there was any change in his expression.

I just heard him continue to say in a drake-like voice: "It's not convenient for me to say my identity, but you can rest assured that I am also a person trapped here. I also know that you are not ordinary people, so I beg you.

Take me out. Only I know the correct way to move through this underground palace. If you don't take me, you will never get out."

After hearing what the other party said, Lu Liang wanted to say something else, but Han Zhen became impatient. He stood up from the ground and picked up the mummy man in his hands.

Han Zhen lifted the other person's thin body like a chicken and said, "Okay, stop talking nonsense and tell us how to leave. I'll just take you with me. With your small body, I'm not afraid of anything you hit."

Wrong idea."

Although the mummy man was being held by Han Zhen with one hand, looking at him in an uncomfortable position, he was overjoyed when he saw that the other party was willing to take him with him. He struggled in Han Zhen's hands and nodded, saying: "Okay! Okay!"

Let me tell you, what you went ahead was wrong. If you want to get out from here, you have to go back first."

Seeing that the other party really started to point the way, Han Zhen walked along the same path as he wanted.

Lu Liang originally wanted to say something, but seeing that it was Han Zhen who was carrying that guy, and it was Han Zhen who would be the first to suffer misfortune, he simply followed him.

The two people who came there turned out to be three people when they returned. The three people returned along the same road they came from. They walked for about half an hour and passed three forks in the opposite direction. They were all Lu Liang.

The markings made Han Zhen and Lu Liang convinced that the path of this underground palace would not change on its own.

Finally, when they returned to the fourth fork in the road, the mummy man held in Han Zhen's hand signaled the two of them not to go back any further, but to walk towards a road that had been enchanted by Lu Liang.

The road after that was completely unfamiliar, and the three of them passed several intersections, all choosing a direction to go on under the guidance of the mummy man.

The three of them walked for a while. Lu Liang looked at the endless bluestone tunnel in front of him and couldn't help but say again: "This

How can the underground palace be so big? The entire mountain range is not that big, right? Are you sure you can actually walk out in the direction you pointed at?"

The second half of the sentence was asked to the mummy man in Han Zhen's hand, but the other party did not answer aloud. Instead, the old god was held in Han Zhen's hand and he closed his eyes to rest.

Along the way, the other party would only open his eyes when passing a fork in the road to check the road, then point out the direction for the two of them, and then close his eyes again without saying a word.

When Han Zhen saw that the other party was silent, he shook the arm that was holding him and said loudly: "You are also a back-fighter, right? Is this why you hide your identity? Don't worry, we are not the police. We did this to you.

I’m not interested in the crow of cocks and dogs, but you can tell me how you know the way to this underground palace?”

When the mummy man heard that Han Zhen revealed his identity, his body trembled. He opened his eyes and looked up at Han Zhen who was holding him up. He hesitated for a moment before saying: "Yes! I am in the business of fighting.

Yes, but don’t worry, I have no intention of harming you. We are grasshoppers on a rope now. If you can’t get out, I can’t get out either, right?”

Han Zhen still avoided his question when he saw the other party. He shook his arm and continued: "Tell me, how did you people end up in this barren mountain and wilderness? How did you survive and find a way out?"

. The most important thing is, if you really know the way out, why don’t you go out on your own and ask the two of us to take you with you?"

While talking, two more forks appeared in front of the three of them.

The mummy man pointed to a road on the left and said, "This way."

Then, he swallowed, as if he had made up his mind, and said bitterly: "We have all been fucking tricked!"

Han Zhen walked in the direction the man pointed and listened quietly to his narrative.

Through this person's narration, Han Zhen had a rough understanding of the experience of this group of people.

They were originally a group of tomb thieves who traveled across the country to commit crimes. Due to their large number of people, they looked down upon ordinary small graves and tombs, so they mostly committed major crimes.

The number of crimes naturally attracted the attention of the police. Once the few core members gathered together, they simply ran away with some things dug out of the grave.

Several people ran all the way from Huaibei to City Z. They originally planned to sell a few valuable things and then stay anonymous.

But when I was selling something in an antique street in City Z, I met that person.

"That's an antique shop owner. He looks about thirty years old, but he is blind. Naturally, the things we deal with in this business are all shady stolen goods. Generally, we don't dare to deal with them unless they are recommended by acquaintances. But because

We escaped here, and we would look for some acquaintance somewhere for a while. The three men were anxious to exchange things for money, so they took the risk to go to the local antique shop to try out the goods, and ended up meeting that person."

When the mummy man mentioned the owner of the antique shop, there was an unknown meaning in his tone, which made his already hoarse voice even more difficult to distinguish.

Han Zhen also asked curiously: "You said you were tricked here? Is that the person who tricked you?"

"That's him. This man is very strange. He is obviously a blind man, but there is no assistant in the store. Firstly, the third rascal thinks that he is blind and thinks it is safer. Secondly, he also sees that there are few people in his store, so he takes the risk to test it.

, I originally planned to sell a few pieces of goods at a discount, and first let a few brothers produce them for a period of time.

The living expenses will come out, who knows..."

At this point, another fork in the road appeared ahead. He had to interrupt his narration and pointed the direction to Han Zhen before continuing.

According to his description, the blind boss just touched everything the San Laizi took with his hands before giving a quotation. All the prices were basically the prevailing prices, and there were no mistakes or omissions. The most important thing is that this

People didn't even ask where the things came from, they just transferred the money to the poor guy.

In this way, San Laizi felt that this person was an expert, and that such a person who dared to accept things without asking where they came from either had a background, or the business he was doing was not clean.

So after going back and discussing with everyone, everyone felt that they could establish a relationship with this person, so they simply took the things out of him.

The second time, the eldest brother and the other two of them brought some real things to the door. This does not mean that the things last time were fake, but the things this time were more valuable than the last time.

Quite a few, and they also deliberately mixed a few fakes into it, just to test that person.

When they arrived at the small shop at the corner of the antique street, they met the blind boss and explained their purpose. As expected, the other party did not disappoint everyone. Not only did he easily give the valuation of each item, but also the fakes.

I identified it on the spot.

They, who have been digging into graves all the time, naturally have a certain knowledge in the appraisal of antiquities. Their eldest brother also wanted to have a good relationship with this person, so he naturally used cultural relics and antiques as an entry point to have a long talk with him.

After this conversation, these tomb robbers who had not studied for a few years were deeply impressed by the antique shop owner's profound knowledge.

From then on, several people became familiar with the boss. After that, they came here several times to sell some dirty things.

Every time, the boss would readily transfer money on the spot, and no matter how much the items they were selling were worth or where they came from, as long as the items were genuine, the boss would accept them without hesitation.

After several repeated attempts, the thieves all felt a sense of admiration for the other party's heroism and talent.

However, this group of people had the intention of getting rid of the last batch of things in their hands. Naturally, the remaining things in their hands will eventually be sold out.

Finally, the day has come.

In the early morning of this day, the eldest brother among the group of people took the two younger brothers he brought with him when he first went to the antique street. They carried a wooden box to the antique shop at the corner of the antique street.

As soon as I walked in, I smelled the aroma of tea in the store. It turned out that the blind boss was sitting behind the counter making himself a pot of green tea.

The tea is good tea, and you can tell by the aroma it emits. But the people who came here have no intention of tasting tea. First of all, the last thing today is the most valuable thing in the hands of these people. It is worth more than what the boss had before.

All the objects in this shot add up to a higher value.

Secondly, after today's business is completed, all the inventory in their hands will be sold out, and the days of hanging their heads on their belts are over.

Thirdly, through these interactions, the bandit leader developed a somewhat sympathetic and close relationship with his boss. Thinking that he might never come here again after today, he felt a little lonely.
