"I seem to understand something..." Liu Yun stared at the direction where the group of people were leaving, his eyes as if they were torched.

"What?"

"You also said that this flood buried everything in the city. Then aren't there many antique treasures hidden under the land where we are standing now?"

"What antique treasures! They are all dead bones! Let's go quickly! They will die if they find out later!" Xu Pingzhou couldn't help but scream, turned around and was about to escape.

"Hey! Don't leave!" Liu Yun pulled Xu Pingzhou with a hand. "Although Kaifeng City has been rebuilt, this Taohuo County is part of him at least, and there are many hidden things! I think those people came for the things underground!" Liu Yun looked confident.

"No... If you say so, then they must have found something in the back mountain?" Xu Pingzhou said tremblingly.

"Yes! And it's not just that they discovered it, but others have also discovered it, so they pretend to be a god and dress up like that, with the purpose of scaring those who don't know the truth!"

"What I said makes sense... Could it be that some treasures are really buried in the back mountain?" Xu Pingzhou finally believed it a little.

"I think...that place may have been the mansion of a nobleman, that is, the royal palace."

"The Prince's Mansion? It's true or false..." Xu Pingzhou couldn't help but exclaim.

"From the size of these people, if they were ordinary bottles and jars, they might not be able to reach their eyes." Liu Yun analyzed in a very reasonable manner. "They went through so much trouble, and it must be because there was something extremely tempting waiting for them!"

"Oh my God... are they considered to be tomb robbers?... This is illegal."

"It's hard to say whether there is a tomb or not, but the things must be buried there."

"Then we are now..." Xu Pingzhou rubbed his hands in panic.

"Of course I'm following now!" Liu Yun was determined.

"Ah! I still have to follow me?" It seems that Xu Pingzhou was already retreating.

"Yes! Keep up!" As he said that, Liu Yun quickly spread the bushes in front of him and squeezed over.

The two of them rolled and staggered from the top of the mountain to this deep and secluded mountain path. In a blink of an eye, their clothes were dirty and messy. The hillside was dense, with weeds, thorns and mosquitoes everywhere. They didn't know what they were stuck on their bodies, but they suddenly became unbearable.

"Look, what a fresh horseshoe print!" Liu Yun stretched out his hand and pointed to the ground.

"It's really alas!" Xu Pingzhou looked surprised.

"If it's a ghost, can you still leave traces on the ground?"

"Definitely not!"

"Let's go! See where these horseshoe prints lead to!" Liu Yun strides forward.

At this moment, the mountains were cold and quiet. A crow was rushing from time to time in the forest. The sound of crows of insects was heard one after another in the grass. The trees whirlwind with the breeze, and occasionally one or two dog barkings slowly floated from the deep mountains.

"Why don't we go back...I'm so scared..." Xu Pingzhou became more and more afraid, his whole body trembled constantly, and his cold sweat had already soaked his clothes.

"It's okay, let's take a look, and don't get involved."

"Then we are wearing this outfit now... why don't we go back and change our clothes and come back again..." In the extreme horror, Xu Pingzhou's legs seemed to be knotted and could hardly walk.

"Come on, I'll support you!" Liu Yun hugged Xu Pingzhou's arm and pushed him forward with force.

The two followed the neat horseshoe prints step by step to the back mountain, and stopped before they stopped in front of a birch forest, and the horseshoe prints disappeared.

"Oh my God! Isn't this the cemetery?!" Xu Pingzhou was shocked.

"Your coworkers were trapped here last time, right?" Liu Yun raised his eyebrows.

"That's right! It's here!"

"Shh! Look there!" Liu Yun grabbed Xu Pingzhou's shoulder and pressed him down, pointing to the birch forest in front of him with his other hand.

"Old man! Isn't that the group of people just now?"

"Yes, it's them. You can open your eyes and see what they are doing?"

Looking in the direction Liu Yun pointed, I saw several tombstones standing in the birch forest. Behind the tombstone were small piles of soil with distant heights, and some paper-man-made flowers were inserted crookedly on the piles. I don’t know who was buried here.

At this moment, those people wearing armored outfits were carrying bundles of black objects that they couldn't see clearly from a carriage next to the forest.

"It should be a tool for breaking the ground."

"Oh my God, are they doing this?"

"It's hard to say." Liu Yun stared at those people with all his attention, not daring to relax at all. "Hey? Look! An old friend is here!"

"Daqiang?...why is he here too?" Xu Pingzhou became more and more excited.

"Collaborate and collude with each other." Liu Yun rolled his eyes.

"No! It's not just him! They are here too! Um...what are you doing!" If Liu Yun hadn't blocked Xu Pingzhou's mouth in time, he might have called out.

"Look at it! If they hear it, we will be done!" Liu Yun seemed a little angry.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry! It's all my fault for being so excited..." Xu Pingzhou immediately became depressed. "I really didn't expect that they would be such a person."

That's right, what Xu Pingzhou said was exactly the workers who were trapped here last time.

"You know people but not your heart. Have you never heard of this sentence?"

"Why.."

In the birch forest.

"Hey! Come and dig quickly!" One of the tall people in a foreign outfit shouted at the other people beside him.

"Yes!" After receiving the order, the other few quickly pulled out several Luoyang shovels and pickaxes from the black objects placed on the ground.

"Qianzi! Take them there and dig from the right side!" Then the man issued an order to Daqiang and others.

"Okay!" Unexpectedly, Daqiang was so well-behaved and obedient at this moment.

"Brother! What should we do now?" Xu Pingzhou looked confused.

"Watch the changes!" Liu Yun was calm.

A moment later, there were waves of dull sounds of digging the ground in the forest.

"Everyone hurry up! It will be dawn in a while!" The tall leader wandered back and forth among the mounds, closely following the movements of the group.

"You said it's so hard for them to do their work in dressing like that! Can they stretch out?"

"It's not just to cover up the eyes. After all, there are a few places in front of and behind the mountains, and there are still some residents living in the mountains. But I think the main thing is to seek a little psychological comfort. In the middle of the night, who is not afraid of coming to such a gloomy place! Wearing like this makes you look a little scary, so that you can not only strengthen your courage, but also better integrate into the atmosphere."

"No wonder Mr. Wu had told us before, asking us not to come up the mountain, saying that there were unclean things inside..." The more Xu Pingzhou thought about it, the more he felt that the world was so sinister.

"Mr. Wu? That powerful uncle?"

"Yes!" Xu Pingzhou seemed to suddenly think of something, "Is he too..."

"Who is right?"

"Ding Ding Ding..." Suddenly, the sound of digging soil became sharp, as if something had been dug.

"What! I've dug six feet, why are there still so many stones?" Daqiang's group became impatient in an instant.

"Just dig with force! What's the point! Didn't you just dig so deep last time? "The leader looked unhappy, "What's more, this is not an imperial tomb or an ancient tomb of powerful ministers. There are no hidden weapons in the mechanism, so you'll be fine!"

"Hey! Come here quickly! See what I dug up!" The guy next to him suddenly shouted to everyone happily.

"Come on! Let me see it!" As soon as he heard the call of the gang, the leader rushed up impatiently.

"Everyone brings the flashlight!"

Under the lights, you can clearly see a multi-layer hollow round jade with bright luster and patterns appearing in the dense and dark soil. Once this object is shining with light, it immediately flashes with silver light, shining like a gem under the moonlight, making everyone around applaud.

"Damn it! They are stealing national cultural relics..." Xu Pingzhou was indignant.

"Wait!" Liu Yun suddenly noticed something strange in the air. "Did you smell anything?"

"Well... it seems like it smells rotten... It smells so bad..." Xu Pingzhou couldn't help but cover his nostrils.

"Ah Ya" A crow whine suddenly came from the forest, and then the sound of flapping its wings, heading south quickly.

"Boss! There's something going on!"

"I heard it, I heard it! Why are you panic?"

"Are we discovered?" Daqiang gasped and was nervous.

"Searching a bird! Even if someone comes, you will be scared to death when you see us?" The leader looked helpless.

A cool breeze blew, the forest began to shake violently, the branches swayed and rustled, and the leaves fell one after another, circling and flying in the air with the wind. A chill suddenly rose on the ground, forcing the blood vessels until the bone marrow.

"Brother Zhang... I have old men and young men... Just let me go..."

"Yes, yes, please let us have a way out."

"Please! Brother Zhang..." It was obvious that the group of people also noticed something strange around them.

"Look at you! Everyone is suspicious! They all said this is our territory! Whoever comes will die! Don't talk nonsense! Hurry up and dig it for me!" The leader suddenly became anxious.

"Xiao Tang! Hurry up the jade for me! Why are you still rubbing against it??" The leader pointed to the jade artifact in the pit, and became more and more angry.

"You smell it...what does that smell..." Daqiang stretched out his hand and gestured in the air for a few times. In an instant, a chill was irritated and the stomach juice began to surge.

"It smells so smelly..." Everyone covered their mouths and noses one after another, frowned.

"Listen!" Suddenly, heavy footsteps came from the outside of the forest.

"What's that sound?"
