The sandstorm had been raging for a long time, and Bai Jing could be said to have mobilized all the strength in his body at this moment. Even his power was enhanced because of this crisis.
When the sandstorm subsided, Bai Jing even felt a long-lost sense of exhaustion.
This was the first time in nearly three years of Bai Jing's life that he had felt this way.
As the sandstorm subsided, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
The sky, which had been gray due to the sandstorm, suddenly brightened up.
Only then did everyone have time to carefully observe their surroundings.
Clearly, it should only be the remains of an ancient riverbed, which dried up many years ago when the water supply was cut off.
Old Sheepskin knelt on the ground and cried out for the protection of the Eternal Heaven.
The others also felt a lingering sense of unease.
The fat man then looked at Bai Jing and asked, "Old Bai, is this the 'Fenfeng' you were talking about? I did feel the temperature rise suddenly when the wind came just now."
Hu Bayi nodded in agreement and said, "Yes, this Burning Wind is too powerful."
However, just as everyone was talking about the foehn wind, Old Sheepskin suddenly sat down on the ground and cried out, "My horse must have been swept away by this wind!"
Bai Jing was still exhausted and had no time to pay attention to Old Yangpi, while Hu Bayi went up to comfort him: "Grandpa, don't worry, let's think of another way later."
Ding Sitian quickly added, "Yes, maybe the horses will run back on their own."
At this moment, the thrush, who had been silent all along, spoke up: "Even if the horses can go back, can we go back?"
Upon hearing this, Old Sheepskin glanced at Thrush, seemingly realizing something. He then stood up, dusted himself off, and walked over to Thrush, asking, "Hey, girl, where do you want to go back to?"
Upon hearing this, Thrush glanced at Old Sheepskin and said in a muffled voice, "What business is it of yours where I go back to?"
Chapter 49 Confirms the Location of the Hundred-Eyed Cave
Old Sheepskin did not answer Thrush's question immediately, but continued to examine Thrush. Finally, after a moment, Old Sheepskin spoke.
"Maybe not. Maybe yes."
Then, Old Sheepskin looked at Thrush with a serious expression and asked, "Girl, do you have any relatives in the Northeast?"
To be honest, the more Old Sheepskin looked at Huamei, the more he felt that Huamei looked like his brother, and at the same time, she was just as beautiful as his sister-in-law.
Therefore, at this moment, Old Sheepskin felt that Sun Qiaoshan had lied before, and that his brother Yang Erdan might not have given birth to a son, but a daughter.
Hua Mei merely glanced at Old Sheepskin without replying. Instead, she walked straight to Hu Bayi and spoke to him, her gaze occasionally drifting towards Bai Jing's direction.
Bai Jing was still recovering and stretching his muscles and bones when he felt he was ready, so he stood up.
Bai Jing immediately spotted Hu Bayi talking to the thrush and realized that the thrush was clearly trying to get Hu Bayi to find the Hundred-Eyed Cave.
Clearly, Huamei knew that Bai Jing was not easily fooled, so she could only see if she could fool Hu Bayi instead.
The result was obvious: Hu Bayi was not easily fooled either.
Suddenly, Hu Bayi turned to Old Sheepskin and asked, "Grandpa, do you know how to get to Hundred Eyes Cave?"
Hearing this, Old Sheepskin sat down, then smiled and said, "Uh, I don't know, I don't know!"
Before Hu Bayi could even speak, Fatty Wang voiced his doubts.
"Hey, didn't you say you'd seen the Demon Dragon, Burning Wind? How come you don't know about it now?"
Upon hearing this, Old Sheepskin feigned innocence and said, "Yes, I have seen the demonic dragon, but I have never been to the Hundred-Eyed Cave. Besides, didn't you just see the demonic dragon? Do you know how to get to the Hundred-Eyed Cave?"
Upon hearing this, Bai Jing almost burst out laughing. There was nothing wrong with what he said. Although the Northern Desert Demon Dragon, also known as the Burning Wind, originated from the Hundred-Eyed Cave, the people here had all seen the Burning Wind, but that didn't necessarily mean they could find the Hundred-Eyed Cave.
After a moment of silence, Huamei looked at Hu Bayi and said, "Logically speaking, this Hundred-Eyed Cave is also a feng shui treasure land. Don't you know how to locate burial sites? This will come in handy."
Hu Bayi seemed to have figured everything out. He immediately looked at Huamei and said in a flippant tone, "I know how to divide gold, and I also know how to locate burial sites."
At this point, Hu Bayi turned to look at Bai Jing, raised his chin, and said, "There's no one more powerful, with a higher level of skill."
When Bai Jing saw Hu Bayi turn to look at him, he knew what the other was thinking and waved with a smile.
Upon hearing Hu Bayi's words, Huamei glanced at Hu Bayi, then turned to look at Bai Jing, and immediately saw Bai Jing waving.
Hua Mei, seemingly lost in thought, turned to Hu Bayi and asked, "Finish?"
Upon hearing this, Hu Bayi remained silent for a moment, then smiled and looked into the distance, saying, "It's easy to do it, but listening to you is difficult!"
Hu Bayi asked himself honestly, and he admitted that he was tempted when he saw Huamei's appearance, but anyone with eyes could see that Huamei needed to go to the Hundred Eyes...
The cave was clearly up to something else, and he couldn't succumb to these sweet-talking tactics.
Hearing Hu Bayi say this, Huamei was also a little confused and immediately asked, "What do you mean?"
Hu Bayi didn't answer Huamei's question, but instead smiled and asked in return, "That's the question I should be asking you."
Upon hearing this, the thrush fell silent.
Seeing that Hua Mei didn't speak, Hu Bayi turned to look at Bai Jing, who was doing stretching exercises.
Hua Mei turned around and looked at Bai Jing.
Hu Bayi's meaning was clear: he didn't have the final say; Bai Jing was in charge, and he would only go if Bai Jing told him to.
Seeing this, Huamei looked at Hu Bayi and said, "Are you saying that I couldn't find the Hundred-Eyed Cave without you guys?"
Hu Bayi smiled but remained silent.
Seeing this, the thrush turned around and prepared to leave.
The next moment, Bai Jing laughed and said: "The Shaking Dragon Classic says: High mountains must be recognized by star peaks, and dragons on flat land have different names. Peaks are named after stars to take their category, and the mountains take shape when the stars shine down."
The key to finding dragons in mountains lies in the two characters "Dragon God": God represents spirit, and Dragon represents substance. Don't assume dragons only dwell in high mountains; they vanish on flat land.
"We're currently on the vast grasslands, and to be honest, there isn't even a decent high mountain. But the Hundred-Eyed Cave is arguably the only treasure trove within this area of several hundred miles. So, finding the Hundred-Eyed Cave is easy in some ways, but difficult in others. Without our guidance, you might not find it even after three to five years."
Upon hearing this, Huamei turned her head to look at Bai Jing, and then at Hu Bayi.
Hu Bayi laughed and said, "My family's Sixteen-Character Yin-Yang Feng Shui Secret Technique says that the essence of dragon, cave, sand, water, and direction must be Qi. Whether it is finding the dragon, catching the cave, observing the sand, seeking water, or determining the direction, the purpose is to find auspicious Qi and avoid inauspicious Qi. Only in this way can we find a true Feng Shui treasure land."
As soon as Hu Bayi said this, Huamei immediately looked at him.
The others looked at Bai Jing and Hu Bayi with some curiosity.
Especially Ding Sitian, this was the first time she had heard of these things, and her face was naturally full of curiosity.
Old Sheepskin, upon hearing Bai Jing and Hu Bayi's words, murmured in a daze, "Tomb Raider Captain?"
When Lao Yangpi was young, he and his younger brother Yang Erdan saved Partridge Whistle, who was stealing from the Tang Dynasty Imperial Palace in Shaanxi. Later, through Partridge Whistle's introduction, he joined the Unloading Ridge bandits.
Therefore, Old Sheepskin was quite knowledgeable.
Naturally, the four schools of tomb raiding—Faqiu, Mojin, Banshan, and Xieling—based on their motives and methods, are still very clear to the public.
He had already met the leaders of the Unloading Ridge and Moving Mountain factions.
But unexpectedly, he met the successor of the Tomb Raiders.
What Old Sheepskin didn't know was that one of the two people in front of him was a tomb raider, and the other was a future official tomb raider who would hold the tomb raiding talisman.
While Old Sheepskin was thinking about these things, Bai Jing had already determined the location of the Hundred-Eyed Cave.
With the help of the compass, Hu Bayi moved just as quickly and soon located the Hundred-Eyed Cave.
Bai Jing and Hu Bayi exchanged a glance, then smiled and pointed in the same direction: northeast.
Old Sheepskin saw that everyone had determined the location of the Hundred-Eyed Cave and had already decided to go there.
Immediately, Old Sheepskin, still unwilling to give up, asked again, "Are you really planning to go to the Hundred-Eyed Cave?"
Upon hearing this, Thrush glanced at Old Sheepskin and said indifferently, "Then you can go back!"
Upon hearing this, Old Sheepskin seemed even more conflicted.
Chapter 50 Journey
Hu Bayi smiled and looked at Huamei, saying, "If you want to find the Hundred-Eyed Cave, you have no choice but to follow me!"
Seeing this, Bai Jing laughed and called out, "Fatty, Yanzi has set off!"
After Bai Jing shouted these words, Yanzi and Wang Pangzi quickly followed, and Ding Sitian, who was already by Hu Bayi's side, naturally went along as well.
Finally, it was Old Sheepskin's turn. Old Sheepskin hesitated for only a moment before speaking, "Wait a minute, I'm angry too, I'm angry too."
It's clear that Old Sheepskin was very reluctant to go to Hundred Eyes Cave unless absolutely necessary, but now that Bai Jing and the others were going, he had no choice but to go as well. Most importantly, that Huamei might be his brother Yang Erdan's daughter.
After some hesitation, Old Sheepskin had no choice but to keep up with the others.
Bai Jing and Fatty walked in front, while Ding Sitian followed behind Hu Bayi. Hu Bayi explained the contents of Feng Shui to Ding Sitian along the way, and also gave a brief introduction to the tomb raiding industry.
Ding Sitian listened to the fat man boast about the Huang Xiangu Temple and the Ghost Yamen they had visited in Northeast China, and Ding Sitian became excited.
It has to be said that humans fear danger, yet they also crave thrills.
This is one of the interesting things about humankind.
Immediately, Ding Sitian asked, "Hu Bayi, what is tomb raiding, and what is a giant zongzi?"
Upon hearing the word "zongzi," Yanzi immediately spoke with a hint of understanding: "Daodou is tomb raiding, and a big zongzi is a corpse in a tomb. My grandfather told me that there are 360 professions in this world."
While every profession can produce an expert, there are 72 traditional industries that have formed their own systems, each with its own lineage, origins, and founding masters.
