Chapter 815
Everyone packed their bags and continued to move forward. Yesterday's heavy snow made the originally steep mountain road even more difficult.
Everyone's progress was obviously much slower than yesterday.
However, there are also benefits to being slow. From time to time, they can find a precious black frost snow lotus along the way.
The guide is knowledgeable and has been to Nanyis Snow Mountain countless times, but he has only dug up black frost snow lotus a few times. The number dug by Meng Haisheng and his team is even more unheard of.
"Boss Meng, I have a feeling that we will definitely find the tomb of the medicinal material merchant this time."
"My luck has always been good."
Meng Haisheng smiled faintly. Since his rebirth, his luck has always been pretty good.
After a whole day of trekking, the guide originally planned to lead everyone to camp on the hillside he had been to before, but when he got there, he found that the hillside had been submerged by snow, forming a new small snow mountain.
Faced with this situation, the guide was a little dumbfounded and felt very confused, and even didn't know how to move forward.
"Boss Meng, the avalanche has changed the topography of the mountain. I am not sure which way to go now. What do you think?"
The guide looked at Meng Haisheng at a loss. He did not expect the avalanche to be so severe that it directly covered the entire mountain.
"Let's go around first and observe the surrounding terrain before making a decision."
Meng Haisheng estimated the distance on the map based on their speed.
If his estimate was not wrong, their current location was very close to the tomb.
"Everyone, pay attention to safety. This piece of snow is not solid. Everyone, pay attention to your feet and don't step on it."
Lin Jinyan reminded everyone with concern.
Danger is everywhere on the snowy mountain. Everyone must be alert at all times.
Meng Haisheng and his team went north along the mountain range, while Lin Jinyan led some team members to detour to the east, where the avalanche exposed the soil under the ice and snow, making it relatively safe to walk.
Climbing the mountain with heavy luggage is quite tiring for most people. After just over an hour, everyone was already exhausted and panting.
Meng Haisheng put down his backpack and let everyone rest on the spot. He and Lin Jinhui looked around to see if they could find any clues to the tomb.
"Second brother, do you think the rumor that only half of the tomb of the Chinese medicinal materials merchant is exposed is reliable?"
"It shouldn't be the case. Who would build a half-built tomb and leave it alone? Wouldn't that be equivalent to exposing the treasure to tomb robbers?"
Meng Haisheng thought so too. The tomb was on the snowy mountain. Once an avalanche occurred, wouldn't the tomb be completely exposed?
As the two were talking, Meng Haisheng saw from a distance a black frost snow lotus swaying in the cold wind among a pile of rocks.
"Second brother, look, there is another black frost snow lotus in front."
Meng Haisheng hurried forward and took a closer look. He saw that there was an exquisite pattern engraved on the stone next to the black frost snow lotus.
He took out a mountaineering pick and carefully dug out the black frost snow lotus, and continued to dig the stone next to it.
As the stone was gradually dug out, Meng Haisheng noticed that the snow country characters were vaguely engraved on it.
Lin Jinhui on the side was quite excited: "Could this be the entrance to the legendary tomb of the medicinal material merchant?"
Although he felt that this was a bit strange, he still hoped that this was the tomb they were looking for.
Meng Haisheng had no experience in digging tombs, but someone in the team was proficient in this.
He immediately released a flare in the air, signaling Lin Jinyan to lead the others over.
While waiting, Meng Haisheng knocked around with a mountaineering pick, trying to find a hidden mechanism.
Who would have thought that when he used the pickaxe, he actually dug a big hole in the mountain wall.
"Second brother, our luck is really great. So many people came to the snow mountain to look for the tomb, but they all returned empty-handed."
"It just so happened that we encountered an avalanche when we came here, and all the snow above the tomb was washed down the mountain, which exposed the tomb."
"And this black frost snow lotus, by chance, grows at the entrance of the tomb."
"If I hadn't experienced it myself, I wouldn't have believed it was true."
Meng Haisheng was very excited at this time. Although climbing the snow mountain was difficult, it now seems that everything is worth it.
Meng Haisheng and Lin Jinhui continued to dig the entrance of the cave, and gradually, the tomb passage was revealed.
They knew nothing about the opposite side and did not dare to act rashly.
After a while, Lin Jinyan and his people finally arrived.
"Master Song, please help me see if this is the tomb of the medicinal material merchant."
Meng Haisheng said excitedly.
Master Song saluted him, took a strong flashlight, and entered the tomb passage first.
About a quarter of an hour later, Master Song returned along the original route.
"From the murals and texts, the owner of this tomb is indeed a businessman, but we are not sure if he is the one we are looking for."
"Is there any danger in the tomb passage? It is said thatThe tomb of the herbal medicine merchant is only half built, this one looks quite complete. "
"I don't know the details yet. I just walked to the location of the stone door. I wanted to try to open the stone door, but it has been frozen. It is difficult to open it with human power, I am afraid I can only use explosives."
Lin Jinyan frowned and said worriedly: "Will using explosives here cause an avalanche?"
"Will using explosives here cause an avalanche?"
"As long as the power of the explosives is properly controlled, it should not cause an avalanche. The last avalanche has shaken all the snow on this mountaintop down. "
Hearing the guide say this, Lin Jinyan said no more and immediately led the team into the tomb passage.
Lin Jinyan is still very good at using explosives.
Lin Jinyan is very skilled in using explosives. In less than half an hour, the explosives were set up.
For safety reasons, everyone moved to a higher place to prevent the explosives from triggering another avalanche.
Accompanied by a muffled sound, Meng Haisheng felt a vibration under his feet, and then quickly returned to calm.
Lin Jinyan personally led the team to check the blasting effect of the explosives.
"No problem, the stone door has been blown open." Lin Jinyan shouted to Meng Haisheng outside the tomb passage.
As soon as the voice fell, Lin Jinyan subconsciously turned sideways, and a bullet flew past his chest.
Meng Haisheng and others standing on the high ground immediately lay down and looked for the surrounding rocks as cover.
"You bunch of bastards, you killed my team. Today, in view of your help in finding the tomb, I will let you leave your bodies intact. "
A group of fully armed men walked out of the forest not far away.
Meng Haisheng judged from their accents that they should be people from a small country near the Nanyis Snow Mountain. If he hadn't carefully distinguished, he wouldn't have understood what the other party was saying.
Looking at their attire and the weapons in their hands, Meng Haisheng guessed that this group of people should be a group of tomb robbers, and they were probably the same group as the ones they met before.
Meng Haisheng was not someone to be trifled with. He and his bodyguard exchanged glances and responded quickly.
The weapons in the hands of those men were relatively backward from the Snow Country, which showed that they were not strong opponents. Meng Haisheng's weapons were all the most advanced equipment purchased from abroad.
Although the other party had an advantage in numbers, Meng Haisheng had powerful weapons and confidence, so he was not afraid.
