Chapter 454 New World: Overturning Worldviews
"...Once you arrive in Pingyi County, check into the best hotel in town. Keep an eye out for a group of foreigners led by a young woman. I'll have Fusheng meet you there as soon as possible..."

Gao Dongxu decided to arrange for Fugui and Fusheng to go to Mengshan in advance to keep an eye on A Ning and Wang Pangzi's group, who would be leaving Qixing Lu Palace ahead of time.

According to the plot, Aning hired Fatty Wang, who was known as a tomb raider, to go into the tomb before Wu Xie and his third uncle's group.

By planning ahead, we have more options. Whether we follow behind Aning and her group or Wu Sansheng and Wu Xie, we can play the role of the oriole stalking the cicada.

After hanging up the phone, Gao Dongxu frowned and pondered for a while, then decided to take control of Da Jin Ya, Jin Wantang, the key figure who opened the curtain of the Daomu Biji and drove the plot forward.

We also need to verify whether this big gold tooth is related to Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan.

It's important to know that the original Tomb Raider Chronicles was a fan fiction of Ghost Blows Out the Light, so many key characters were created using the same person.

This time, Da Jin Ya used a copy of the Warring States silk scroll to lure Wu Xie into a trap, which was actually hired by Jude Kao, a foreign troublemaker who was obsessed with immortality.

Therefore, Jin Wantang, the big gold tooth, is undoubtedly an extremely crucial figure. Since that's the case, then of course we should meet him!

I picked up my phone and called Brother Qi.

"Brother Qi, do me a favor. Immediately send a few men to the Xiling Seal Engraving Society to arrest an antique dealer nicknamed 'Big Gold Tooth' named Jin Wantang. Yes, he should be inside the Xiling Seal Engraving Society right now. Don't go in to arrest him; wait until he comes out, walks a bit further away, and then arrest him and take him into custody... This guy is a cunning old fox, and also a broker. I'll get there as soon as possible... Hehe, okay, thanks."

Hearing Brother Qi's quick agreement, Gao Dongxu smiled and hung up the phone.

I believe that once he meets Big Gold Tooth, he will be able to clarify many questions and doubts.

Meanwhile, Da Jin Ya, who was chatting and exchanging pleasantries with Wu Xie at the Xiling Seal Engraving Society, was unaware that Gao Dongxu had already set his sights on him.

"Meng Chao, see the guests out—"

Meng Chao, who was deleting text messages at the counter in the outer room, was startled by Wu Xie's sudden shout from the inner room, where Wu Xie was discussing business with the old man with the gold teeth. However, after hearing the words "send the guest out," Meng Chao breathed a sigh of relief, realizing that he was feeling guilty after all.

Meng Chao rushed into the inner room and saw the old man with the big gold tooth, his face flushed red, saying, "Why are you kicking people out of the conversation all of a sudden?"

Wu Xie glanced at Meng Chao who walked in, and said with a sneer to Big Gold Tooth, "My old man has already gone to the West last year. If you want to find him, go back and cut your wrists!"

"I'm telling you, you little brat, you always have such an unpleasant way of speaking." The old man with the gold teeth grinned slyly. "It doesn't matter that the old man is gone. I didn't say anything. At least take a look at what I brought."

Seeing Wu Xie's impatience, Meng Chao said, "Take a look if you want, but I can't say for sure whether it's true or not."

Then, Meng Chao saw the old man with the big gold teeth pull out a piece of white paper from his pocket. Meng Chao's lips twitched involuntarily, while Wu Xie was so angry he laughed and said, "A photocopy..."

The old man with the gold tooth chuckled and said, "Of course, you can't carry that treasure around everywhere, it'll break if you shake it."

He handed the photocopy to Wu Xie, while glancing at Meng Chao standing at the door.

Meng Chao immediately and tactfully withdrew from the inner room and returned to the counter in the outer room, straining his ears as much as possible to eavesdrop on the conversation between the two, but he couldn't hear anything.

However, less than ten minutes later, the old man with the big gold tooth hurriedly came out of the inner room, as if he needed to urinate urgently. He didn't even glance at Meng Chao before quickly walking out the door.

Interestingly, Meng Chao then saw Wu Xie quickly walk out and run to the door, seemingly to chase after the old man with the big gold teeth.

"Born in the Year of the Rabbit? How come it ran so fast? Where did it go...?"

Meng Chao stepped out from behind the counter, walked to the door, looked around, and asked, "Boss, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing." With that, Wu Xie took the photocopy and walked to the counter, laid it flat on the counter, took out his phone, took a few pictures, folded the photocopy, and handed it to Meng Chao, saying, "The old man left in a hurry and forgot to take it. If he comes back looking for it, just give it back to him."

"Okay." Meng Chao took the stacked photocopies and looked at Wu Xie, asking, "The business deal didn't go through?"

"What a load of bull, this old man is just trying to make fun of me," Wu Xie said irritably as he walked into the inner room.

Meng Chao, holding the photocopy in his hand, his eyes gleaming, walked behind the counter, sat down in a chair, and gently unfolded the photocopy. He saw a pattern on the paper: a fox-like face with two three-dimensional eyes that seemed to have been etched out of the paper.

Without hesitation, I took out my phone, took a few photos of the photocopy, folded it up, put it in the counter drawer, and sent the photos out at the same time.

As for Big Gold Tooth, whom Wu Xie chased after but didn't see, he was currently crying and complaining to two police officers who were specifically waiting for him at a nearby security post, "Hey, hey, be gentle, be gentle... It's a misunderstanding, comrades, it's a misunderstanding, you've arrested the wrong person..."

The young policeman twisted Big Gold Tooth's arm behind his back, while another policeman took out handcuffs and asked as he handcuffed him, "Are you Jin Wantang? People call you Big Gold Tooth?"

"Huh?!" Big Gold Tooth turned around in surprise to look at the two police officers and asked, "Can you tell me what crime I committed?" "That's for you to answer. Come on, come back to the station with us and think carefully about why they're only arresting you and not anyone else—"

"How should I know... I'm innocent, I'm truly innocent! I need to see a lawyer, you can't just arrest me like this..."

"Pfft-"

The two policemen almost couldn't help but laugh. They pulled Big Gold Tooth into the police car, one driving and the other escorting the incessantly talking Big Gold Tooth.

"Meet a lawyer? You've been watching too many movies. This is China—"

Big Gold Tooth twitched his lips and said with a mournful face, "Gentlemen, uncles, what have I done wrong? Please explain yourself. You can't just arrest people for no reason."

"A good guy?" Both policemen couldn't help but sneer. A good guy? Would a good guy get their boss to personally call and arrest him?

Gao Dongxu, who had already returned to Dijingyuan, took out his phone, which had received a new text message, and saw that it was a photo sent by Meng Chao.

Gao Dongxu smiled slightly as he looked at the rubbing in the photo. He naturally knew that this was a map of the Seven Star Lu Palace.

Calligraphy and painting are the detailed geographical locations of a place written down. In fact, they are a kind of code. They have a strict format. As long as you draw what is written in accordance with its format, you will have a complete map.

Unexpectedly, Meng Chao actually managed to get his hands on the map, which brought a satisfied smile to his face. He sent a text message back, telling Meng Chao to take care of himself and continue to lie low.

Inside the villa, Gao Dongxu called Leng Feng, Erpang, and Fusheng together to start assigning tasks.

"We have news from Xiao Chao," Gao Dongxu said to Leng Feng.

Leng Feng was taken aback for a moment, then his eyes lit up and he said, "There's an operation?"

Erpang and Fusheng exchanged a glance, wondering what the boss and Leng Feng were talking about.

Gao Dongxu looked at the three of them and said with a serious expression, "What I am about to say involves the mystical side of this world. I have told you about it before, and now you have the opportunity to witness it with your own eyes."

Next, I'm going to visit an ancient tomb from the Warring States period. Two other groups are eyeing this tomb: one group consists of foreigners, and the other is made up of generations of tomb raiders…

Tomb raiding?!
Leng Feng, Erpang, and Fusheng were all stunned for a moment, then their eyes widened, their faces filled with astonishment, surprise, and confusion as they looked at Gao Dongxu, as if to say, "Boss, don't joke around. Who are you to go tomb raiding?"

"Hehe, surprised, isn't it?" Gao Dongxu took out cigarettes, tossed one to each of them, lit one for himself, exhaled a puff of smoke, and said indifferently, "Indeed, with my status and wealth, I have no need to do such despicable and immoral things."

However, I go into tombs not just for the burial goods, but for the mysterious and rare treasures, and even, perhaps, the secrets of immortality.

"Immortality?!"

Leng Feng and the other two exclaimed in unison, their faces showing disbelief and a "boss, are you kidding me?" expression.

"You've been with me for a while now. Do you think I'm the kind of unreliable person?" Gao Dongxu asked the three of them.

The three of them shook their heads solemnly. At the same time, they all got goosebumps and looked at Gao Dongxu with slightly rapid breathing. Now they finally realized that their boss had opened a door to a whole new world for them.

"Of course, as far as I know, the so-called immortality is indeed unreliable. Most people end up turning into zombies or blood corpses. So I don't pursue immortality. However, those ancient people who had the ability to pursue immortality were either emperors or kings. In their ancient tombs, in addition to countless priceless burial objects, there were also some rare treasures with special powers or effects."

This time, the information I received was that two groups of people wanted to visit the ancient tomb of a Warring States king, and this king had a very mysterious experience in his lifetime. ..." Gao Dongxu recounted the story of King Lu Shang's encounter with the snake, killing the snake to obtain treasure, and the ghost seal controlling the underworld soldiers.

"Gudong-"

Leng Feng and the other two couldn't help but swallow hard, dumbfounded.

Even Leng Feng, who was thought to have the strongest mental fortitude, asked with a grim expression, "According to what you're saying, boss, does that mean many myths and legends might actually be true?"

“That’s right.” Since Gao Dongxu was going to take them into the tomb, he had to prepare them mentally beforehand so that they wouldn’t be terrified and at a loss when they saw ghosts, zombies, or blood corpses.

"At least, as far as I know, the Queen Mother of the West is a real person, and the pursuit of immortality began with her..."

"The Queen Mother of the West?!"

Leng Feng and his two companions were completely dumbfounded, their eyes wide open, unsure of what to say.
