Chapter 169 Baipi Village

When Bai Mingshi heard that Feng Nian and others agreed for him to join, he told them a lot about this ancient tomb.

Waisha Town has been the favorite cemetery chosen by princes and generals since ancient times, because it has aura and can bless future generations. The origin of Waisha town's aura is actually because of this crystal tomb.

For a long time, the crystal tomb is just a legend. It is said that there is a crystal coffin inside, as long as you lie in this coffin, you can live forever.

"What's wrong with the crystal coffin?" Feng Nian didn't care about the tomb, but the crystal coffin. After listening to Bai Mingshi's words, she suddenly understood why so many people wanted to go to the grave.

Bai Mingshi was stunned for a while, normally, other people would pay attention to this crystal tomb, only Feng Nian immediately noticed the problem of the crystal coffin in the tomb. This girl is not easy!

But soon, he responded, "There is aura in the crystal coffin, so it has become the object of competition."

Feng Nian nodded, indicating that she knew, and let everyone go to rest, and set off for the crystal tomb tomorrow.

Originally, Bai Mingshi thought that Feng Nian would ask him about the situation in the crystal tomb, but he didn't expect that she didn't ask a word. But he didn't say much, and then returned to the room Yan Sheng had prepared for him to rest.

An hour later, Feng Nian got Bai Mingshi's information from Wei Zhen, and it was almost the same as what he said, he did have a younger brother named Bai Mingsheng, a student of archeology at Waisha University, who had just passed away not long ago.

In this way, the situation is exactly the same as what Bai Mingshi himself said. Bai Mingshi also said that the reason why he wanted to go to the tomb was to find out what happened to his brother Bai Mingsheng in the tomb that day.

"I asked Lei Jiewen to help retrieve the video of Li Hangao being taken away. Those people are very cunning and have been hiding from surveillance, so their whereabouts have not been found yet." Wei Zhen saw Feng Nian showing a tired look. With a clear look, he said softly, "Go to the meeting."

Feng Nian nodded obediently, and after exchanging good night with Wei Zhen, she returned to her room.

In the early morning of the next day, Bai Mingshi actually took out the map he had drawn himself, and showed everyone the approximate location of the crystal tomb. Perhaps because he was worried that Feng Nian and others would not believe him, he even took out Bai Mingsheng's notebook. The writing on the notebook was neat and there were no stains on the notebook. It could be seen that Bai Mingsheng was a book lover.

Feng Nian glanced lightly, "Did your brother mention it to you, what's in the tomb?"

Bai Mingshi showed a frustrated expression, "No, if I knew, I wouldn't follow you to the grave to find out the truth."

Feng Nian and Wei Zhen looked at each other, and then made a decision to let Yan Sheng and Xue Xiang stay in the hotel, and the others went to the crystal tomb together.

This was the result of the discussion between the two of them last night. Feng Nian originally disapproved of Wei Zhen going in person, but he insisted on accompanying Feng Nian. Unable to resist Wei Zhen, Feng Nian made an appointment with him that he must not be injured when going to the tomb; if something was wrong, he would run away as soon as possible.

A group of people drove two cars and stopped at the northwest side of Waisha Town.

There are few people here now, and at a glance, there is only one village.

"There are only old people and children left in the village, and the young and middle-aged have all gone out to work." Bai Mingshi explained to everyone, because no tombs have been found on the northwest side, so it is not very lively on weekdays. There are quite a few vacant houses in the village, which can also be rented from the people in the village to rest.

To get down to the crystal tomb, you must pass through this village. Knowing that the vacant houses in the village can be rented, Feng Nian proposed to ask Bai Mingshi to rent a courtyard from the people in the village so that everyone could rest. Because it is still early before dark, they can also take a look around first.

Bai Mingshi followed his advice, went to negotiate with the people in the village, and rented an empty yard at the end of the village.

After everyone put down their backpacks, Feng Nian asked Bai Mingshi to accompany her around, and Zhang Zhizhan accompanied her.

The three of them walked quietly on the village road in this village. It is said to be a village road, but it is actually a road paved with yellow sand. If you walk a little harder, there will be waves of yellow sand on the edge of your shoes.

"What's the name of this village?" Feng Nian asked suddenly.

"Baipi Village," Bai Mingshi replied.

"Is it called Baipi Village because Baipizi is enshrined?" Feng Nian pointed to a place not far from the village that looked like a mountain temple.

Before Bai Mingshi could answer, Feng Nian had already gone straight to the small temple.

Pushing open the dilapidated wooden door, the temple was empty, but there was a faint smell of incense in the air, and a white leather statue was placed in the center. Below the statue, there are several plates containing offerings such as apples and buns.

When it comes to yellow skin, many people know about it, but few people know about white skin. In fact, white skins are similar to yellow skins, but they are covered with white hair, which is very rare and more powerful than yellow skins.

Bai Mingshi saw that Feng Nian had already seen the white skin enshrined in the temple, so he knew that there was no need to explain too much, so he just smiled and said, "Yes, that's how the name of this village came about."

Feng Nian took a look inside the Baipizi Temple, and found that he had already seen the end of it, so he turned around and stepped out of the temple. Although the temple is dilapidated, there are still people who come to worship Baipizi in the temple, which shows that Baipizi still occupies a very important place in the hearts of the villagers.

"Unfortunately, I haven't seen the real Bai Pizi yet. It would be great if I had the chance to meet him." Feng Nian paid special attention to Bai Mingshi's expression when he said this, but Bai Mingshi's expression didn't show anything exception.

After walking around, Feng Nian and the others returned to the yard they rented.

In the yard ~lightnovelpub.net~ some simple food has been cooked early. Because it was outside, everyone had some food in their backpacks. Lao Ma simply cooked a pot of instant noodles with the kitchen utensils in the yard, and served them with a few pieces of canned meat. That's it for lunch.

Taking advantage of the time when Bai Mingshi was being helped by the old horse, Wei Zhen whispered to Feng Nian, "No one else has been to this village except us."

Wei Zhen's words showed two possibilities. One is that the people who took Li Hangao went to the grave in the middle of the night last night; the other is that they did not stay in Baipi Village. Feng Nian was inclined towards the second possibility, because unless that group of people was fully prepared, it would be impossible for them to go to the grave immediately so hastily.

Since the group who took Li Hangao did not rest in Baipi Village, does that mean that there is another way to the crystal tomb besides the road of Baipi Village? But back then, if there were other paths, why did Bai Mingsheng record Baipi Village in his notes?

Feng Nian looked out of the yard, and in the few houses adjacent to their rented courtyard, although there were frequent cooking smokes, there was no one in sight. The villagers all closed their doors tightly and did not step out of the house. The people in this village seem to be avoiding them on purpose, are they afraid that they will ask questions?
