Tomb Raider: The comprehension is against the sky, and the achievement is indestructible

Chapter 73: Da Jin Ya, a cadre in the capital, and Chen Yulou, the leader of the thieves in Xiangling

When the militia platoon leader saw that Su Mo and the other two were outsiders, his expression suddenly changed:
"Who let them in?"

The old man who led Su Mo and the others here suddenly shrank his head and didn't dare to speak at all.

Su Mo walked over with a calm smile and said:
"Platoon leader, we are from the Beijing Archaeological Institute. We know Professor Sun. We came here because we heard that he got into trouble. Professor Sun is a talent in our Chinese archaeological community. If something happens to him, it will be a huge loss and will definitely alert the central government. This matter is of great importance. Please cooperate!"

Not only did Su Mo speak in an official tone, he also borrowed the name of the Beijing Archaeological Institute and even accused the central government of alarming the government, which made the militia platoon leader panic.

Although the militia platoon leader felt a little flustered after hearing this, he still looked at Su Mo with some suspicion:
"Are you from the School of Archaeology? Do you have a letter of introduction from your employer?"

Su Mo didn't have a letter of introduction, but luckily Da Jin Ya took out a gold-stamped business card from his pocket and handed it to the militia platoon leader:
"We came in a hurry and didn't have time to issue a letter of introduction, but this is my business card. You can go to the capital to ask about our Master Jin's reputation!"

Da Jin Ya traveled the world, and his scheming and vision were definitely not comparable to that of the militia platoon leader. In addition, this business card was originally intended to show off to those people from Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, or overseas. Not only was the black background and gold stamping very exquisite, it gave off an extraordinary temperament at first glance, and the name printed on it was also very scary:

President of the Beijing Ancient Culture and Tradition Research Association, Chairman of the Panjiayuan Huayi Ancient Culture Company, Special Consultant of the Beijing Archaeological Institute...

A series of titles, although most of them were just names without substance, made the militia platoon leader feel uneasy.

He was a militia platoon leader who was only useful in this stone tablet shop, but he had never seen so many people from the capital with the title of "leader". He was immediately very uncomfortable and felt like he was sitting on pins and needles:
"So you are the cadres from Beijing. I am sorry for neglecting you just now. Since you are all from the School of Archaeology and know Professor Sun, please go and have a look!"

Su Mo and his companions followed the militia platoon leader into the coffin shop, but saw that the entrance to the underground cave in the coffin shop was dark and they didn't know how deep it was. There was a cold air coming out from inside.

Several militiamen stood nearby and didn't dare to get close. The villagers watching nearby were talking about the matter. Some said that this place was connected to the underworld, so when the old shopkeeper slapped the coffin, the little ghost under the coffin could hear it and then arrest people for him.

Others say that this place is connected to the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea. If you go in, the Dragon King will be furious and a flood will occur here.

Anyway, there is everything to say.

The militia platoon leader meant to select a few brave militiamen to accompany Su Mo and the others.

Su Mo glanced down and said:

"I think it's a bit dangerous here, so the three of us will go down, and Mr. Jin will stay here with you!"

He used the Taiyin visualization method to look at the cave and found that there was indeed some evil aura underneath. However, it would be useless to have too many people in such a place. Instead, they would become a burden. Moreover, it would be inconvenient to have many things done by having militiamen, so he stopped the militia platoon leader's proposal.

The militiamen heaved a sigh of relief when they heard that they didn't have to go down. At this moment, they suddenly heard someone outside the door shouting:
"This cave is definitely not an ordinary place. Don't be reckless and let me pass!"

When they heard the sound, they turned their heads and saw an old man squeezing through the crowd. He was wearing a black cotton jacket, holding a bamboo stick, and a pair of double-lens blind glasses on his face. He was indeed blind.

When Huba saw someone was making trouble, he couldn't help but get a little angry:
"What is this crypt? If you can't explain it clearly, get out of here and stop messing around here!"

The blind man looked arrogant and sneered:
"How dare you, ignorant youngster, speak so arrogantly? This underground cave is a den of dragons and tigers. If you don't have my guidance, you will go in vertically and come out horizontally!"

Hubayi and Fatty Wang were so angry that they wanted to yell at him, but Su Mo recognized the blind man as Chen Yulou, and immediately pulled him over, smiling and whispering:
"Old man, do you think there must be an ancient tomb underneath, with many artifacts in it, so you want to share some of the glory with us pangolins?"

The blind man was startled when he heard this, then lowered his voice and said:
"So you are the tomb raider! I thought you were officials, but I didn't expect to meet someone like you here!"

"To be honest, I was also a strongman in the past, but when I was young, I was robbing tombs in Yunnan, so I lost my eyes. Since then, I can only wander around and tell fortunes! Today I heard that there is a cave here, and I thought I could get some lucky tools to support my retirement, but unexpectedly I met someone in the same field!"

"If you can help me, I have a copy of 'The Eye of the Earth' here, and I will give it to you!"

The blind man was none other than Chen Yulou. He was poisoned by miasma in Yunnan that year and his eyes were invaded by poison gas. He had no choice but to gouge out his eyes. He even lost his position as the leader of the Xiangling thieves. From then on, he could only wander around the world and make a living by fortune-telling.

He had been wandering in Shaanxi for some time. He was the one who had driven away the drought demon in Li Chunlai's village before. Now that he had arrived at Shibeidian and heard that a hole had been dug out there, he thought there must be an ancient tomb here, so he wanted to come and fish in troubled waters.

Su Mo knew his identity, but he couldn't reveal it for the time being. He then smiled faintly and said:

"No problem! To be honest, you are the strongman who removes mountains, and I am the Taoist who moves mountains. There are two tomb raiders beside us. We are all colleagues who move mountains and rob tombs. It is hard to say whether there is an ancient tomb or funerary objects underneath. But since you are the strongman who removes mountains, no matter whether there are funerary objects underneath, you will get a share of the benefits!"

Blind Chen was delighted when he heard this, and then he said loudly:
"Everyone, these guys are all officials from the capital, experts who have been through all kinds of hardships. You guys just maintain order outside and let them go down to take a look. They will naturally be able to rescue the two old officials!"

"This underground cave is extraordinary. When the first emperor traveled, he saw immortals making elixirs here. Emperor Gaozu of Han, Liu Bang, also hid here from the court's pursuit. It can be said to be the place where dragons rise and the place where immortals live! You must cooperate well with these officials from the capital..."

With Su Mo's promise, Blind Chen spoke eloquently, and the onlookers and militiamen around him nodded frequently.

The militia platoon leader even brought a few rifles and gave them to Hubayi and Fatty Wang so that they could go down and defend themselves.

With Big Gold Teeth and Blind Chen fooling around outside, everyone had no doubts about Su Mo and the others, and they all cooperated unconditionally. After Su Mo and the others made some preparations, they immediately started to enter the dungeon.
