Chapter 244 Ancient Tongjing



Chapter 244 Ancient Tongjing

When Chen Wenjin and the others came back for lunch, Cheng Feng mentioned the Golmud Sanatorium.

Chen Wenjin and Huo Ling were also filled with emotion.

If it weren't for Cheng Feng, the same situation that happened to Li Sidi and that female researcher could very well have happened to them.

Confused, Yang Xueli and A Xiang then quietly inquired about the Xisha archaeological team.

Through Huo Ling and Chen Wenjin's explanation, they roughly understood what had happened.

They couldn't help but marvel at how fascinating such a small archaeological team was.

First, the real team was replaced with a fake one, then two real players infiltrated the fake team.

Two real team members were betrayed by their own teammates, who mistook them for fakes. Fortunately, Cheng Feng's unexpected intervention occurred.

Otherwise, Chen Wenjin and Huo Ling would definitely be in big trouble.

"Li Sidi's transformation is complete; he has become one of those sea monkeys from the underwater tomb."

Should we go see this old acquaintance after we finish eating?

Cheng Feng put down his chopsticks and asked Chen Wenjin and Huo Ling.

The two women shook their heads. They knew exactly what sea monkeys looked like; even old acquaintances were just imposters.

There's really nothing to see here.

"I didn't expect that group from the underwater tomb would be imprisoned nearby. I should have made contact with them."

Chen Wenjin said with some regret.

Cheng Feng looked at Chen Wenjin in surprise and asked:

"What's the point of associating with a group of people who are constantly on the verge of turning into monsters?"

Chen Wenjin slowly wiped the corner of his mouth and said:

"If possible, I would like to try to develop a corpse beetle pill that can be used without falling into a deep sleep."

After all, species on par with the Meat Fungus and the Tai Sui are extremely rare.

Cheng Feng felt a little helpless after hearing this. Among the four women in the family, Ah Xiang and Chen Wenjin had the most thoughts.

One of them was quiet and didn't say a word, while the other thought too much but had the ability to execute.

"You don't need to worry about this. I can guarantee that you will get everything you need."

Cheng Feng didn't speak too bluntly; Ah Xiang was still there, and he didn't want to cause any unnecessary trouble.

The three women nodded silently, while Ah Xiang looked at them blankly.

After lunch, the four women strolled off to work together.

Cheng Feng then went to the underground warehouse after dinner to start construction.

The three-story space is deep enough, but its width needs to be expanded.

Xiaoman and its two companions huffed and puffed as they dug in the soil, while Cheng Feng followed behind, collecting the piles of dirt they threw out like a wealthy landlord.

To ensure structural stability, Cheng Feng would occasionally retrieve logs from the imaginary space as supports.

We'll use these pieces of wood to prop things up for now. There should be better pillars in Gutongjing; we'll see if we can get some more when we get there.

Days passed by, and during that time Chen Wenjin and Huo Ling also went to Golmud once.

Some research materials that had not been destroyed were found in other rooms.

I now have a general understanding of the onset cycle and various reactions of the Corpse Beetle Pill.

Then the four of them held a small, open meeting in front of Cheng Feng, expressing their intention to build a research institute.

The equipment was funded by the family, and Yang Xueli used her connections abroad to import it.

The recruitment of talent will be handled by the Huo family and the New Moon Hotel.

Cheng Feng didn't stop them, just letting them pass the time when they were bored.

Finally, after half a month, Cheng Feng received the news from Inner Mongolia as soon as possible.

"Another suspected grave. Something's not right. Genghis Khan used the traditional Mongolian burial methods."

There's no reason to set up so many decoy tombs, because this burial method itself makes it very difficult to pinpoint their exact location.

After reading the message, Cheng Feng frowned and said.

Chen Wenjin, who had handed him the intelligence, took it and looked puzzled after reading it.

"The brothers in Group One shouldn't lie to us. Why would there be a false tomb? If it's a cenotaph, that would make some sense."

"No, I intend to go and see for myself. I suspect that the fake tomb they discovered might actually be real."

However, some anti-theft measures went unnoticed.

After Cheng Feng finished speaking, Chen Wenjin moved closer to him, took Cheng Feng's hand, and said:

"Old Cheng, I think we should trust the abilities of our team and give them some more time!"

Cheng Feng raised his hand and pinched Chen Wenjin's cheek, saying:

"I think you just don't want me to go out, not that you trust your brothers."

Chen Wenjin didn't flinch, her eyes fixed on Cheng Feng, and she said gently:

"I was worried you'd make a wasted trip; you'd be better off resting at home."

Cheng Feng did not reply, but kept staring into Chen Wenjin's eyes.

Gradually, the two drew closer and closer until they were completely pressed together, taking advantage of the fact that the other women were not home.

Cheng Feng declared war on Chen Wenjin in broad daylight, possessing extraordinary perception abilities and completely unafraid of being caught in the act of adultery.

After being persuaded by Chen Wenjin's incredibly persuasive pillow talk, Cheng Feng decided to trust his teammates.

At the same time, they sent messengers to carefully investigate this newly discovered suspected tomb in order to see if they could find any hidden clues.

He himself transforms into a diligent little bee at home, frequently visiting various gardens to collect nectar.

Through these years of farming, Cheng Feng gradually came to understand one thing.

That means the immortal species really can't have offspring, otherwise, given the frequency with which he cultivates the land, his three children would have already given birth.

Before they knew it, the year was coming to an end, and Cheng Feng decided to set off for Gutongjing after the New Year.

This time, Chen Wenjin and the others did not try to dissuade them, and just like last time, they offered to go together.

"Gutongjing is located in the desert, and the environment there is not good for women's skin."

Are you sure you still want to come along?

The ancient city of Tongjing is located in the Badain Desert in China, and legend has it that it was composed of three small lakes.

Shaped like a tripod, it was discovered by an unlucky man in the late Qing Dynasty.

After leaving the desert, he mentioned it to people, and a large number of folk archaeologists and artists went to search for it.

But in the end, they found nothing and did not find the three desert lakes that the man had mentioned.

Later, in the 1960s, it was spotted again when a plane flew over the desert.

They also dropped a flag at the location, but when they searched for it from the ground into the desert, they found nothing.

But in fact, the ancient city of Gutongjing was discovered by a force hundreds of years ago.

This power was the Wang family, founded by Wang Zanghai, who lived in the ancient city of Tongjing for hundreds of years.

It wasn't until modern times that they left the ancient city of Tongjing and went abroad to develop their influence.

The excavation project of Gutongjing, which was overseen by Zhang Dafoye, took place after the Wang family left.

This plan also resulted in a significant reduction in the power of the Nine Gates, with almost half of their elite forces lost in the ancient city of Gutongjing.

In the end, only Zhang Qishan and Zhang Rishan escaped from Gutongjing.

One noteworthy thing about Gutongjing is the resonance sound produced by the wind blowing through all the buildings.

This voice contained the secret to immortality, and Zhang Qishan discovered this secret.

They organized a team to repair the ancient city of Tongjing, but in the end, they awakened the sleeping Black Flying Serpent, also known as the Black-haired Snake.

This led to the tragic deaths of all members of the Nine Gates in Gutongjing.

On May 1, 1991, Labor Day, while the workers were on holiday, Cheng Feng and his family of five set off for the Badain Jaran Desert once again.

Before this trip, Chen Wenjin and her team made extensive preparations for being away from home.

The tasks he was responsible for were divided into several parts and handed over to the elite disciples of the Unloading Ridge Sect.

With such absolutely loyal subordinates, their family has the confidence to roam freely.
