Chapter 528 The Iron Triangle Controlled by Money

"Hahaha, I'm rich, I'm rich, I'm really rich now..." Fatty Wang, his face flushed, pounced on the golden palace complex like a madman.

The others weren't much better off. Their eyes gleamed, their faces flushed, and they excitedly ran towards the stone platform, greedily and in awe touching the golden palace complex again and again.

"Damn, no wonder I only saw bottles and jars all the way here, not a single piece of gold, silver, or jade. Turns out, all the good stuff is here—the artificial mountain is made of Hetian jade..."

Fatty Wang stared at the pond and rockery in the back garden of the palace model, swearing and exclaiming in amazement.

At this moment, Zhang Qiling found the mummified corpse dressed in Ming Dynasty official robes sitting in the model of the golden palace. His pupils contracted slightly, and he jumped directly onto the golden model, extending his "tomb-hunting finger" to probe the detonation mechanism in its abdomen once again.

On the other side, after his excitement subsided, Wu Xie glanced at Gao Dongxu, who was standing on the stone platform, looking up at the sky with a smile on his face. He couldn't help but think of something, and his pupils suddenly contracted.

Silently, he walked up to Fatty Wang, who was about to climb onto the eaves and brackets of the Golden Palace to test the gold's purity with his teeth. With an ugly expression, he scolded in a low voice, "Fatty, that's enough. Just look at it and that's enough. It's not like you can take it out of here!"

"Haha, that's why I say you're so naive. I can't handle you, but Gao Shao can..." Fatty Wang was smiling smugly as he watched Wu Xie retort and mock him when he saw Wu Xie constantly giving him meaningful glances. Fatty Wang's smile slowly froze, his voice grew softer and softer, and finally, his lips twitched a few times as he asked in a low voice, "What do you mean?"

"Before we went into the tomb, Young Master Gao told me that this Golden Palace was one of his goals for this trip... If you don't want to stay here forever, you'd better not make any moves," Wu Xie whispered in Fatty Wang's ear.

Fatty Wang's fat face twitched, his eyes fixed on the exquisitely crafted, priceless golden palace model. He sighed and said with a bitter smile, "My heart aches so much—"

"Some things you might have the life to get but not the life to enjoy. Alright, Young Master Gao won't treat us unfairly." Wu Xie put his arm around Fatty Wang's shoulder and patted him gently, comforting him in a low voice.

"I never expected that Wang Zanghai would actually build a Heavenly Palace on the Clouds—" At this moment, Ah Ning, who had recovered from the shock of the golden Heavenly Palace model and her own greed, looked at Gao Dongxu, who had already withdrawn his gaze from the top of the sky, and said with emotion.

"Hehe, Wang Zanghai didn't have any good intentions in leaving this golden palace model here," Gao Dongxu said with a smile.

"Young Master Gao, what do you mean—" Wu Xie pulled Fatty Wang away from the Golden Heavenly Palace model and came to Gao Dongxu's side, frowning as he spoke.

Gao Dongxu looked at the model of the Golden Heavenly Palace and laughed: "Anyone who comes here and sees the model of the Golden Heavenly Palace will know that Wang Zanghai really built a Heavenly Palace. Then, they will wonder where this Heavenly Palace is? Even the model is made of gold, so how much treasure will the real Heavenly Palace on the Cloud Top have?"
Once the door to greed is opened, no one can close it. Those who raid tombs like us will spend their entire lives pursuing it. Moreover, Wang Zanghai has already left the map of the Heavenly Palace on the Clouds here—”

As he spoke, Gao Dongxu shone the beam of his powerful flashlight toward a wall.

Everyone stared wide-eyed at the sight. Sure enough, there was a huge painting on the wall, painted very realistically. If you looked closely enough, you could see many details.

In Gao Dongxu's painting, there is a snow-covered mountain range.

"This is the northern slope of Changbai Mountain in Jilin—" Wu Xie's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said excitedly.

Everyone, including Gao Dongxu, looked at Wu Xie with some surprise. Fatty Wang exclaimed in astonishment, "Tianzhen, you can recognize the other person at a glance? You're amazing!"

Wu Xie scratched his head a little embarrassedly and said, "It's not that my memory is amazing, it's just that the main peaks of Changbai Mountain are very distinctive. Anyone who has been there should be able to recognize them."

"Really?" Fatty Wang asked with a frown, somewhat disbelieving. Gao Dongxu smiled noncommittally, moved his flashlight, and looked at the second painting.

The second painting depicts a funeral procession, all dressed in traditional Yuan dynasty robes.

"Yuan Dynasty clothing? The person in the coffin in the painting must have been a high-ranking nobleman of the Yuan Dynasty. Then the construction time of this Heavenly Palace on the Clouds is very likely during the transition from the Yuan Dynasty to the Yuan Dynasty. In such a chaotic world, the ability to build such a huge tomb means that the tomb owner must be extraordinary..." Wu Xie analyzed again.

In the third painting, the funeral procession consists entirely of women.

"That's a bit unreasonable. I don't know what the burial ceremonies are like for the Mongolian people, but to have all the funeral processions conducted by women is unheard of," Fatty Wang said, frowning.

There are many other small details like these, and it's unclear whether they were intentional clues left by the sculptor or simply their usual practice.

By now, everyone understood that with these clues, they could find the palace by finding a local villager familiar with the terrain.

However, it was buried under a layer of snow that had been there for hundreds of years. The permafrost was very soft, and if it was dug up carelessly, even a small avalanche could be enough to make someone sleep forever in the snow.

"Young Master Gao, there's a hole in the corner over there—" At this moment, the sharp-eyed Fatty Wang shone his flashlight on the corner and said to Gao Dongxu.

"Back then, we all fainted after entering this cave and smelling a strange fragrance..." Zhang Qiling said with a frown.

Everyone frowned and looked at the cave entrance, then at Zhang Qiling, whose eyes showed an unusual hesitation, as if he was considering something.

He spoke again, saying, "I might have to go in again."

“No way.” Wu Xie was shocked. “Aren’t you just going to your death? If you lose your memory for another twenty years, everything will be meaningless.”

Zhang Qiling glanced at Wu Xie, then said calmly, "I am different from you. For you, what happened here is just a bizarre experience, but for me, it is a huge knot in my heart. If I don't untie it, even if I remember everything, I will never have a good life."

Wu Xie became anxious upon hearing this and repeatedly said no, but seeing Zhang Qiling's unmoved expression, he could only look at Gao Dongxu and hurriedly asked, "Young Master Gao, what do you say?" Gao Dongxu looked at Zhang Qiling and smiled faintly, "There's no rush. Let's all rest for a bit, change our clothes, eat something, and after I clean this place up, we'll go together."

As for that strange fragrance that can even anesthetize you, we'll just wear gas masks then.

Upon hearing Gao Dongxu's words, Wu Xie felt as if he had found a pillar of support and immediately laughed, "That's right, Brother, Young Master Gao said he would accompany you on the trip, so just wait a little longer, wait for Young Master Gao to clean... wait, Young Master Gao, what do you mean by cleaning it thoroughly?"

Everyone looked at Gao Dongxu, who had a faint smile on his face, and heard him say calmly, "Of course, we'll scrape the ground three feet deep and leave not a single tile behind."

. . . . . .

Everyone's lips twitched, their faces darkening as they stared at the golden palace model: ten colossal pillars of golden nanmu wood, each over ten meters tall, and more than fifty egg-sized luminous pearls on the ceiling... How long would it take to clean this up!

"Ahem, Young Master Gao, the ceiling is at least twelve or thirteen meters high, there's nothing here to step on... Besides, the oxygen here might not be enough for us to stay for too long..." Wu Xie said with a wry smile.

Before Wu Xie could finish speaking, Gao Dongxu released a pile of supplies from his spatial storage in the open space.

A bunch of oxygen cylinders, diving suits, tents, various foods, blankets, clothes, and also a handheld chainsaw and a pickaxe...

The entire room fell silent, everyone staring wide-eyed at the huge pile of supplies in front of them.

"I'll provide the tools. Cut down a pillar, one million. One hundred complete gold bricks for paving, two hundred thousand..." Gao Dongxu looked at the group calmly and began to state the wages that made their mouths twitch and their mouths gulp.

"Cheers!" Fatty Wang was the first to succumb to the temptation, clapping his hands and shouting with delight.

Wu Xie glanced at the silent Xiao Ge, while Zhang Qiling looked at Gao Dongxu and said, "I can help you pry open the luminous pearl from the top of the sky."

"One hundred thousand per pill," Gao Dongxu said with a faint smile.

Wu Xie stared wide-eyed and gaped at Zhang Qiling, his mind completely shattered.

Zhang Qiling looked at Wu Xie and said calmly, "I'm short of money too."

"..."

"Ahem, I'm quite skilled at sawing wood, don't even try to take the pillar from me..." Fatty Wang coughed twice, then quickly ran forward and claimed a chainsaw.

"Fatty, you really can't eat all this by yourself. Each pillar requires three people to hug it. With your size, do you think you can climb up and saw the top?" Jiang Zisuan said with a sneer.

"Hehe, Xiao Jiang, let's team up and split it 50/50." Fatty Wang immediately chuckled and stepped forward, putting his arm around Jiang Zisuan's shoulder.

“Six-four—I’ll take six, you take four. If that doesn’t work, I’ll go find Wu Xie.” Jiang Zisuan glanced at Fatty Wang and said coldly.

"Fine, June 4th it is. I'll take the loss..."

Seeing the Wang Jiang duo immediately reach an agreement, and Zhang Qiling receiving the nail gun thrower from Gao Dongxu, Wu Xie's lips twitched, and he said with a wry smile, "Looks like I'll have to resort to tearing up the floor tiles..."

"Hehe..." Looking at the four people being dominated by Gao Dongxu, A Ning couldn't help but giggle. It was truly something else that they were having so much fun while tomb raiding.

"Snapped--"

"What are you doing? Ugh~~~"

Ah Ning, who had been hit by PG, blushed and gave Gao Dongxu a charming glare, then said in a trembling voice, "I'm so angry."

"Stop laughing, come with me to set up the tent." Gao Dongxu looked at A Ning's shy, slightly flushed, and alluring face, and couldn't help but feel a little hot-tempered, saying with burning eyes.

Seeing Gao Dongxu's familiar, burning gaze, Ah Ning trembled inwardly. Her mind in turmoil, she whispered in a voice only the two of them could hear, "There are so many people here, don't do anything rash..."

Gao Dongxu wrapped his arm around the blushing Ah Ning's slender waist and whispered intimately in her ear, oblivious to everyone else, "If you don't want to be bullied, then convince me with your words..."

"Pooh--"

With her pretty face flushed crimson, Ah Ning immediately spat out a shy retort, her voice trembling as she coquettishly said, "You're dreaming..."

Watching the two flirting, Fatty Wang chuckled bitterly and muttered, "It's so good to be rich. Unlike us poor folks, we toil away on the ground to earn a meager living. And now, even underground, we have to work hard to make a living..."

"You can find such a lucrative job on the ground?" Jiang Zisuan glanced at the sarcastic Fatty Wang and said sarcastically.
