Chapter 563 [Old 9 Gate 42]
Then the group came to the last tomb chamber, which meant they had found the exit, but it was also the entrance to the tomb chamber where the treasure was hidden. Everyone stood at the door, and the atmosphere became solemn.
Old Dog Wu frowned and said in a low voice: "I have a feeling that the treasures in here are ominous. We'd better not go in." His eyes revealed a hint of worry and uneasiness.
Zhang Qishan shook his head and said firmly: "No, we have come this far, how can we give up like this? Besides, if there really is a treasure in there, it may be of great help to us." Determination and courage flashed in his eyes.
Er Yuehong looked at Zhang Qishan, a hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes, and then he said resolutely: "No, Master Fo, you can't go in. If anyone wants to go in, I'll go in. After all, I'm alone and have no worries. If something happens, it won't be a problem. Master Fo, it's different for you, you still have Youyou. You haven't been married for long, what if there is an accident?" There was deep concern and worry in his voice.
After hearing Er Yuehong's words, Youyou was deeply moved, but she still insisted: "I'll go. I have a way to get out of this safely." Her eyes were firm and confident, as if she was absolutely sure.
However, Zhang Qishan firmly disagreed with Youyou taking the risk. He held Youyou's hand tightly and said, "No, you can't go." His eyes were full of affection and protectiveness, which made people unable to refuse.
"Sister Jinxi, please keep an eye on Zhang Qishan for me. I will go in alone. That's it." Youyou said firmly. She knew the danger of this mission, but she also knew that she had to face it.
Huo Jinxi frowned and looked at Youyou worriedly: "Youyou, I can't let you in like this! It's too dangerous, and if your brother knew, he would definitely blame me for not being a good sister-in-law."
Youyou smiled and comforted her, "Sister Jinxi, don't worry! I know my limits and won't do anything rash. And I believe that as long as we are careful, we will be able to complete the task. As for my brother, I will explain everything to him in person when he comes back."
Huo Jinxi was still a little worried and continued to persuade: "But..."
Youyou interrupted her, "Sister Jinxi, I know you care about me, but I have made up my mind about this matter. Don't worry, I will definitely return safely." After saying that, Youyou turned around and walked forward.
Huo Jinxi sighed helplessly and could only pray silently for Youyou's safety. She knew that Youyou was a stubborn and brave girl, and once she made a decision, it would be difficult to change it. So, the only thing she could do now was to wait outside and wait for Youyou's return.
Zhang Qishan was about to step into the room when Huo Jinxi stopped him. His face suddenly turned gloomy and he whispered, "Get out of the way."
However, Huo Jinxi did not back down and answered firmly: "No! I promised Youyou that I would never let you go. I will keep my word."
Zhang Qishan's eyes became sharper, and he warned in a serious tone: "Sanniang, don't force me to do it."
However, Huo Jinxi was not afraid at all. He straightened his chest and responded, "No! Either you beat me down, or you stay here obediently."
Zhang Qishan was so angry that his face turned red, but Er Yuehong stepped forward in time to stop him and persuaded him, "Master Buddha, please be patient and wait for a while. If Youyou doesn't come out for a long time, we can still go in in time."
Wu Laogou also echoed, "Yes, Master Buddha, just listen to Second Master."
At this moment, Blackback Laoliu, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up: "I believe her."
Everyone looked at him in surprise, especially Wu Laogou, who asked curiously, "How do you know?" After all, this Blackback Laoliu hardly spoke at ordinary times, and it was really surprising that he took the initiative to express his opinion at this moment.
"Intuition." Blackback Laoliu said.
After a long time, Zhang Qishan still didn't see Youyou come out, and he was very anxious. He kept pacing, looking at the closed door from time to time, and his heart was full of worry and uneasiness. Finally, he couldn't help but want to rush in, but was stopped by Huo Jinxi.
"Master Buddha, you can't go in. I promised Youyou." Huo Jinxi said firmly.
Zhang Qishan frowned and said anxiously, "Get out of the way! My wife is inside, I can't let her get hurt. It's been so long, and she hasn't come out yet, something must have happened!"
Huo Jinxi hesitated for a moment. She knew Zhang Qishan's deep affection for Youyou, but she didn't want to go against Youyou's wishes. She gritted her teeth and tried to persuade him, "Master Buddha, calm down. Youyou is so smart and brave, nothing will happen to her. And she told me not to let anyone go in and disturb her."
Zhang Qishan's eyes became more determined. He clenched his fists tightly and said in a low and powerful voice: "I don't care. I can't just sit there and watch. If Youyou is in any danger, I will never forgive myself."
Huo Jinxi looked at Zhang Qishan helplessly, and couldn't help but worry about Youyou. She knew that Zhang Qishan's love for Youyou was so deep that he was willing to protect her at all costs.
Just when the two were at a stalemate, Youyou finally came out. She looked a little tired, but her expression was still firm. Zhang Qishan immediately let go of Huo Jinxi's hand, rushed to Youyou, and hugged her tightly in his arms.
"Youyou, promise me that you won't take risks again. I'm so worried about you. You haven't come out for such a long time. I'm really afraid that something might happen to you..." Zhang Qishan's voice was choked with sobs, his eyes full of heartache and love.
Youyou felt Zhang Qishan's warmth and care. She patted his shoulder gently and comforted him, "Don't worry, I'm fine. I just encountered some troubles this time, but I have solved them. In the future, I will be more careful."
Zhang Qishan gently stroked Youyou's hair and said softly: "No matter what happens, we must face it together and not bear all the pressure alone. I love you, Youyou."
Youyou nodded with emotion, she knew that Zhang Qishan really loved her and cared about her. At this moment, she felt extremely happy.
Youyou hugged Zhang Qishan tightly and said gently: "Okay, husband, don't worry, I'm fine now, right? Look what I brought you?" As she spoke, she carefully took out a piece of debris from her pocket.
Er Yuehong took it and looked at it curiously, and said in surprise: "Could this be the legendary meteorite copper fragment? It is said that it has a mysterious power that can confuse people's minds."
Youyou nodded and replied with a smile: "Yes, that's it."
Wu Laogou quickly reminded him, "Second Master, why don't you put the thing down quickly? What if it accidentally confuses your mind?"
Youyou waved her hands and explained with a smile: "Don't worry, that thing has lost its ability to confuse the mind. I have eliminated it."
Zhang Qishan looked at the piece of meteorite copper and said with deep emotion: "This is a treasure that our Zhang family has guarded for generations. There are three pieces in total. One is in this ancient tomb, another is hidden in the Zhang family's ancient building, and the last one is in Baiqiao Village."
"Since this thing belongs to the Zhang family, let's give it to you, Master Buddha. It's useless for us anyway." said Wu Laogou.
"Thank you." Zhang Qishan thanked.
"Then let's go out first and meet up with Chenpi and the others." Er Yuehong said.
So, everyone went out from the new exit found here, and then found Chenpi, Banjie Li, Qi Tiezui and others who had been waiting outside for a long time.
Qi Tiezui saw Zhang Qishan and the others and said, "You guys finally came out. We have been waiting for several days."
"What? It's been so long!" Er Yuehong said in surprise.
As everyone walked out of the mine, the warm sunlight shining on their bodies made them feel as if they were in another world.
"Yes, after we separated from you, not long after that we met an American with a group of Japanese coming in. Fortunately, we were smart and took the opportunity to hide, otherwise we would not have seen you." Qi Tiezui said.
"The Japanese also went down to the tomb with us? Are they planning to follow us and catch the 'ripe fruits'?" Er Yuehong said.
"I guess it was Jude Kao and Tanaka Yoshiko who went into the tomb. By the way, did you see the Japanese coming out?" Youyou asked.
"No, but didn't you meet them?" Chen Pi asked.
"No." said Youyou.
"Are they still in there?" Zhang Qishan frowned, feeling a bad premonition. He stared at the dark mine, as if he wanted to see through the darkness to see the truth inside.
"If they are still inside, the situation will be complicated." Er Yuehong's voice revealed a trace of worry. He knew the dangers and secrets in this mine very well. If those people were still inside, the consequences would be disastrous.
"No matter what, we have decided not to let them get out alive." Zhang Qishan's tone was firm and resolute. He knew that only in this way could the secrets hidden in the mine be prevented from being leaked.
"Let's blow up the mine. This will prevent some people from plotting against it." Youyou suggested. There was a hint of determination in her eyes, as if she was full of disgust for the mine.
"Okay, adjutant, go prepare the explosives." Zhang Qishan gave the order decisively. He already had a plan in mind. Blowing up the mine would not only stop those people from taking action, but also protect the secrets hidden in the mine.
"Yes." Zhang Rishan responded and turned to leave. Not long after, he returned to the place with a few people and some explosives.
Zhang Qishan took the explosives and carefully checked the quality and quantity of each package. He buried the explosives in various corners around the mine in turn to ensure that the mine could be completely destroyed.
"Everyone, move away!" Zhang Qishan shouted. He didn't want anyone to get hurt, especially in such a dangerous situation. Everyone retreated until they were far away from the mine.
After confirming that everyone was safe, Zhang Qishan lit the fuse. The fuse burned quickly, making crackling sounds. He clenched his fists tightly, waiting for the moment of explosion.
Finally, the fuse burned out, causing a series of violent explosions. Flames shot up into the sky, accompanied by billowing smoke. The entire mine was shaken, and the ground began to tremble.
After the explosion, the entrance to the mine was buried under a thick layer of soil and could no longer be entered. Zhang Qishan looked at the scene in front of him and felt relieved.
