Author: Solitary and brave yet gentle

Chapter 488 Treasure?

This seems somewhat contradictory.

According to the information currently known to Chen Ziyan, the development of the original timeline should be like this. Because of the sudden appearance of nephew Li, the black-haired snakes sleeping underground caused a riot. Wu Laogou, who found this critical point, drove himself to bring

The dogs hunted the nephew and solved the crisis.

But this does not explain why when Wu Xie arrived here later, nephew Li was still there.

It can be seen from the situation at this time that the riot of the Black Haired Snake is definitely related to Nephew, and the personnel staying here will definitely not let this go unchecked in the future.

etc!

Chen Ziyan remembered another thing, that is, when Wu Xie arrives here in the future, the underground facilities for mining snake mines will be in an abandoned state.

Thinking of this, Chen Ziyan suddenly realized one thing, that is, he had always preconceived the idea that the Folklore Affairs Bureau existed in the original plot of the stolen pen.

But now that I think about it carefully, I find that this mysterious special organization seems to have never appeared in my memory, at least not in the world of ghosts blowing lamps or the world of stolen pens.

"That is to say...I was wrong about many things from the beginning, and I ignored this crucial point."

Chen Ziyan reviewed the plot lines he knew from the beginning and found that the changes did not occur after he appeared. In fact, the changes had already occurred long ago.

At the same time, Chen Ziyan also realized that the world he was in now was probably not only a fusion of two different tomb-robbery worlds as he imagined, but it was also very likely to incorporate other world views.

Just like this mysterious Folklore Affairs Bureau, it may come from this.

"Master Chen, what should we do?"

At this moment, Li Wu's questioning voice pulled him out of his thoughts.

Only then did Chen Ziyan realize that everyone else was looking at him. He did not panic, but said naturally:

"It's better to choose a day than to hit it. We will start this matter later. We will first get rid of the nephews hiding around and see if it has any effect."

Although he didn't hear what everyone said before because he was distracted, it was not difficult to deduce the cause and effect based on Li Wu's words.

"Okay, I'll make arrangements later." Li Wu naturally had no objection.

He was eager to kill his nephew right away. In the short term, this thing posed a greater threat to him than the black-haired snake underground.

If it weren't for these strange nephews, his power wouldn't have shrunk to what it is now.

"By the way, Brother Chen, when you just went down, I found two people outside."

Just when Chen Ziyan wanted to end the meeting, Yingzi, who was observing, suddenly said something that no one expected.

"Two people? Who are they?" Chen Ziyan asked.

Yingzi said: "A boy who looks about 17 or 18 years old, and a little girl who is a few years old."

A boy and a little girl?

Chen Ziyan narrowed his eyes slightly, and he probably guessed the identities of these two people.

Thinking of this, he said to Yingzi: "Take me to see it."

Although I already have a guess in my mind, it still needs some verification.

Yingzi nodded, got up and walked outside, and the others followed her to a nearby tent.

There were only two people in the tent, it was the boy Yingzi mentioned and the little girl.

Chen Ziyan glanced at the young and old, then looked at the young man standing in front of the girl and asked: "What's your name? Where are you from? What do you want to do here?"

He didn't mean to pave the way and started asking directly.

"I...my name is Lin Zhongzhong, and I live in a nearby village. I came here..." The young man hesitated a little, but after looking at Chen Ziyan, he still said it: "I came here to find the abandoned

of coal mines.”

"Abandoned coal mine?" Chen Ziyan glanced at the little girl behind him: "The coal mine is not a safe place. Are you looking for a coal mine with such a young child? Aren't you afraid of something happening?"

He didn't believe Lin Zhongzhi's words, even the punctuation marks. This guy was not an honest person.

Moreover...the reason for looking for a coal mine is really unconvincing.

Lin Zhongzhong fell silent after being bombarded with so many questions by Chen Ziyan.

Chen Ziyan glanced at him, and then said to Yingzi: "Yingzi, take the child out first. I want to have a private chat with this little brother Lin."

After hearing this, Yingzi immediately walked over and wanted to hug the little girl.

However, although the little girl was very young, a child from a poor family had already taken charge of the family, and her mind had matured earlier. She clung tightly to the clothes of the young man in front of her. Although she did not make a sound, her whole body was full of resistance.

Yingzi didn't want to be too rough with the child, so she subconsciously looked at Chen Ziyan.

Chen Ziyan also expected this, and he said to Lin Zhongzhong: "Little brother, we will not harm you, and we have no reason to harm you, but your current situation is not safe, and your child is too young, some

It’s better she doesn’t know about things.”

Lin Zhongzhi maintained his silent posture at first, but when Chen Ziyan said, "You kid," his body shook uncontrollably. After hesitating for a moment, he came back to his senses and gently touched the little girl.

He raised his head and said softly: "Xixi, can you and your sister go out and wait for me first?"

The little girl nodded obediently: "Okay."

After Yingzi took the little girl away, Lin Zhongzhi looked at Wushuanggui and Huahu behind Chen Ziyan, as well as Li Wu and Wu Laogou who had been examining him.

Although he didn't say it out loud, the meaning in his eyes was already obvious. Didn't he say he wanted to talk alone?

Chen Ziyan smiled when he saw this: "I did say that I wanted to talk to you alone, but I didn't say that you would talk to me alone, right?"

This was very unreasonable. Not only did Lin Zhongzhi, the person involved, not know what to say, but Wu Laogou and Li Wu also had their mouths twitching slightly.

But what the two people didn't know was that Chen Ziyan didn't want to talk to Lin Zhongzhi alone, but he knew better that if the two were not present, there would definitely be trouble in the future, so he let the two stay here.

Lin Zhongzhong looked deeply at Chen Ziyan and asked in a low voice: "What do you want to talk about?"

Chen Ziyan did not rush to inquire. Instead, he pulled over a few folding chairs and said, "Sit down first. We are not interrogating. Relax."

Li Wu and Wu Laogou sat down unceremoniously. Lin Zhongzhong was lying if he said he was not afraid, but his temperament was far more mature than his apparent age, so he also sat down.

After seeing Lin Zhongzhong sit down, Chen Ziyan asked again: "I hope you can tell the truth, what is the purpose of coming here."

Lin Zhizhi pursed his lips and said, "I really came here to find the abandoned coal mine."

Then, without waiting for Chen Ziyan to refute, he took the initiative to tell the whole story.

Lin Zhongzhong told Chen Ziyan and the others that his family lived in a village a few hills away from here. There was a dirt road at the bottom of the mountain not far from here. Trucks carrying coal passed by there every day. He usually took Xixi secretly.

Go pick up cinders to support your family.

But recently, the coal trucks seemed to have disappeared. Lin Zhongzhong suspected that the coal mines here had been mined, so he wanted to come and have a look. If he could find the abandoned coal mines and the remaining cinders inside,

It is definitely a huge fortune for him.

"General Manager Li, Fifth Master, what do you think?" After listening to Lin Zhongzhi's explanation, Chen Ziyan looked at Li Wu and Wu Laogou.

This reason was the same as what he had seen in his previous life, but it was obviously false, so he wanted to hear the opinions of these two people.

Especially Wu Laoge, the person involved in the original plot. Strictly speaking, neither Li Wu, the manager of the Folklore Affairs Administration, nor Li Wu, the head of Xiling, are people who have never appeared in the original plot.

"There are no coal mines here, not even a hundred miles away." Li Wu said without hesitation.

As the general manager of this place, he didn't know what was being transported in those cars. Although the residue that might have fallen looked like coal, it was not cinders at all, and it had no function that cinders should have.

"I have no experience in mining, but I have dealt with mine owners several times. Those people are not easy to deal with. If it were me, I would not bring a child to do this. After all, it is just

A mine that may be abandoned." Wu Laogou looked at Lin Zhongzhi and said with meaning.

Although this guy tried his best to justify his words, he has always lived in the countryside. Now there is no network like the later generations, and he can know the world's affairs without going out, so his words are full of loopholes in front of the old Jianghu.

.

Especially Wu Laogou, a man who has traveled extensively and dealt with all kinds of monsters and monsters, he pointed out a lot of loopholes in just a few words.

Chen Ziyan clapped his hands gently: "The fifth master is worthy of being an old man, every word is precious."

Then he looked at Lin Zhongzhi: "There is no need for you to waste your efforts. It is not difficult to guess whether it is true or false. I hope your next answer will not challenge my patience again."

After finishing speaking, Chen Ziyan seemed to have remembered something: "Perhaps you can treat this as a transaction and use the information you know to come to me in exchange for what you need, money or other things."

Chen Ziyan also suddenly thought of this method. Lin Zhongzhi took the risk of bringing his daughter to this ghost place. He must have his purpose, and he might be able to lure her with benefits.

For Chen Ziyan now, things that can be solved with money are not a big deal, let alone how much money it may cost.

If you can use money to get what you want, that would be great.

money?!

Hearing Chen Ziyan's next words, Lin Zhongran's expression changed slightly. He looked at Chen Ziyan and asked, "Is what you said true?"

He is very aware of his current situation. The people in this camp are all well-armed and obviously not good people. But if he can use the information that is of no use to him in exchange for enough money, that would be the best thing.

.

Isn't it just money that he took the risk to come here this time?

"Of course it's true."

Facing Lin Zhongzhong's questioning gaze, Chen Ziyan nodded firmly.

"call--"

Hearing this, Lin Zhongzhi's stiff body leaned back and breathed a sigh of relief.

Chen Ziyan and the others didn't rush him, they just waited quietly.

They had a hunch that the young man who suddenly appeared in front of them might bring them important news.

After nearly half a minute like this, Lin Zhongzhi, who had calmed down, slowly spoke:

"You are right, I came here not to find a coal mine, but to find a treasure."

After saying the word treasure, Lin Zhongzhi looked at Chen Ziyan and made his request: "I will give you the information about the treasure, and you will give me a sum of money."

"No problem." Chen Ziyan agreed happily: "As long as your information is valuable, I will give you a price that is enough to provide you with food and clothing for a lifetime."

He likes this kind of deal.

"I believe you." Lin Zhongzhi said: "I don't know much about treasures. I only read them in ancient books I accidentally found at home. They just said that there is an ancient tomb buried in this area, and there is a lot of value in it.

Liancheng’s funerary objects.”

Then he took out a simple bronze bell from his arms, handed it to Chen Ziyan, and continued:

"This is the key to finding the treasure. Just ring the bell and the tomb guardian beast will appear to lead the way."

"Gravekeeper beast?"

Chen Ziyan looked at the bronze bell in his hand and asked doubtfully:

"Have you ever seen a tomb guardian beast?"

Lin Zhongzhi shook his head: "No, there is no way to ring this bell. I'm just here to try my luck."

"Can't it shake?"

Chen Ziyan curiously shook the bell in his hand and found that no sound was made.

He turned the bell upside down and found that it was sealed with a beeswax-like substance, making it impossible to shake it.

Chen Ziyan played with the bronze bell in his hand. He knew very well in his heart that what Lin Zhongzhong said was not a lie, but he knew even more clearly that this guy did not tell everything he knew.

For example, he said he was looking for treasure, but he knew very well that he was here to rob a tomb, but he brought his young daughter with him. This is definitely not without reason.

If there is a shortage of manpower, wouldn't it be a better choice to bring his wife? Besides, the little girl can't be of much help to someone as big as him.

To put it bluntly, children are a burden in this kind of thing.

However, Chen Ziyan didn't plan to continue questioning. What Lin Zhongzhong gave was enough. It was estimated that the things he concealed were probably related to the little girl. Even if those things were useful, he didn't want to know.

"Your information is very valuable, just treat this bell as a gift, and I will fulfill my promise." Chen Ziyan said softly.

Lin Zhongzhi didn't say anything, just nodded slightly.

He can't do anything now, he can only rely on Chen Ziyan to be a man of his word.

"Master Chen..." Seeing that Chen Ziyan wanted to end it, Li Wu wanted to say something.

What Chen Ziyan could see, how could he not see it.

"Manager Li, let's end this matter here." Chen Ziyan raised his hand to stop Li Wu's next words and said in an unquestionable tone.
