  I thought to myself, "For half a year, they've been searching for clues about the Tianyuan Coffin. Do they think there's something in Zhangjia Ancient Building?" Fatso clapped his hands and said, "You're right, after they came out of Zhangjia Ancient Building, they directly headed to Qinghai."

  "What's going on?" I asked. Fatso said, "I'll tell you slowly, your Aunt Wen Jin is still somewhat kind-hearted, she was planning to let me off, but I thought if she really found you, what would happen? So I immediately stopped her and was about to negotiate with her, see if we could compromise and just give them half the loot. But guess what, that blind black guy was also there, and a bunch of big men in black clothes, each with a gun hidden under their clothes, suddenly crawled in through the window, one by one pointing at my waist, can you blame me for agreeing?"

  "Then you were coerced by Hei Mangzi?"

  Fat boy gritted his teeth and said, "I've been through thick and thin all my life, but I didn't expect to fall into the hands of that black-glassed man. No matter how thick my skin is, it's not thicker than a bullet, right? So I had to lead them on, anyway, that blind black guy isn't easy to deal with. They confiscated my phone and wouldn't let me contact the outside world. I was thinking that I should at least give you a heads up, so I tore off a piece of cloth from my clothes and hid it, secretly giving it to Ah Gui. It wasn't until we entered the mountains that they returned my stuff."

  "I said: 'Have you really entered Zhang's ancient building again?'"

  Fatso chuckled and said, "I've been to the Zhang family's ancient tower at least once, so I can say I got my revenge. After entering the mountain, I easily shook them off. I reckon they won't figure out for a while how the road suddenly disappeared. I was about to make a run for it when I saw several young people outside the mountain, looking like those who had just returned to the village. Something didn't feel right - what were these young people doing here? Before I could react, that group of people charged up, each with a gun pointed at me. You're naive if you haven't seen that kind of situation before. When I saw it for the first time, someone was using an SX-70 long-range rifle like a toy - damn, that's one per person! Even I've never touched such good equipment."

  "I said, 'Don't be envious, what happened next?' Fatso said, 'What's there to happen next? I, Fat Master, was overturned in the ditch and held at gunpoint by those few kids until evening. Chen Wenjin and a few others suddenly emerged from the woods behind, who knows if they found another passage. Anyway, when they went in, there were ten people, but when they came out, only five were left, covered in blood. I was shocked at the time, thinking that these guys are done for. If they come back alive, won't I be in trouble and get shot?'"

  Then, the fatty also couldn't care about it anymore, with one hand he flipped over one of the young men, turned around and ran, behind him a string of gunfire sounded. The fatty was an old hand, running in a zigzag pattern, which is the most difficult route to aim at. Those few young men were probably temporary recruits, their marksmanship was not accurate, the fatty was grazed by bullets many times but didn't suffer any major injuries. He kept running towards the deep mountains and old forests, finally the gunfire behind him became more and more intense. The fatty suddenly came up with an idea, while running he set fire to the place, it was July or August, the weather was dry, the forest caught fire easily, in a short time thick smoke billowed, inside the forest there were also continuous gunshots.

  But that black blind man was a formidable figure, and somehow he managed to catch up with the fatty no matter how hard he ran. The fatty's heart skipped a beat as he realized that there must be some kind of tracking device on him.

  He ran while throwing away everything he could from his body, but the other side had many people and each of them had a gun in their hand. The fat man had a premonition that this time he was really going to be finished off. He thought about how he would have someone to collect his corpse, so while running, he tried to call me, but the phone didn't work as it should, and every time he dialed, it would automatically hang up. The fat man cursed in frustration and finally sent me a text message. He thought that since the mountain fire had been burning for several hours, the news broadcast should have already started, and once I saw the news, I would understand.

  He was in a hurry and only thought about getting things done quickly, originally he wanted to say: "Naive Wu Xie comrade, come to Bana to collect the body for Fat Master." But he ran so fast that he only managed to send five words, letting me figure out the news myself. He then threw his phone away and rushed off with his head down, shaking off Hei Yanzi and others. Fat Cat entered the old forest, and for a while, there was no danger. He was relieved that he had escaped disaster, gritting his teeth and thinking that he would definitely find the place again in the future. As a result, his head was suddenly hit hard by someone, knocking him unconscious.

  Fatso woke up to find himself in a mountain cave, the sky was still pitch black, he estimated that he had fainted for not too long. Then he saw the hunchbacked person, Fatso let out a strange cry and said: "Ah yo, old brother, how are you still here?!"

  The hunched man stared at him and said, "You've done a good job..."

  Fatso said: "Me, me doing good things? Ah, wronged, I've never done a good thing in my life."

  Then, a gun was pressed against the fat man's forehead, and the fat man was so angry that his lungs were about to explode. He thought that in his life, no one had ever dared to treat him like this, except for zongzi (a type of Chinese rice dumpling). Today, he was being held at gunpoint for the third time, was it because he didn't check the almanac before going out?

  The hunchbacked man was about to speak when a gunshot suddenly rang out from the woods. He trembled and shouted at Fatty, "Don't move!" Fatty smiled wryly and said, "I'm tied up like a rice dumpling, I couldn't escape even if I wanted to."

  The hunchbacked man glared at him fiercely, turned around and walked out with his gun. The fat man heard no movement, quickly got up from the ground, and struggled hard to untie the rope. Finally, he couldn't untie it, so he rubbed it against a stone, not knowing how long he had been rubbing. The hunchbacked fake "Zhang Qiling" never came back. The fat man felt the rope loosen, but before he could rejoice, the entrance of the cave was blocked by people. He looked up and saw Hei Mangzi and his men, as well as Chen Wenjin.

  This time, Chen Wenjin's attitude wasn't as good as before, and it was unknown what she had encountered in the Zhang family's old building. Her originally pale face looked even more haggard. Suddenly, Hei Mangzi rushed up, not using his gun, but instead hooking his mouth and then violently smashing his gun into Pangzi. Pangzi wasn't one to be easily bullied, and immediately fought back. The two of them wrestled, exchanging punches and kicks, their bodies flushed red from the fight. After a while, Chen Wenjin spoke up: "Alright, Comrade Xiao Pang, stop!"

  The two of them stopped moving at the same time, Fatso wiped the blood off his face with a vicious swipe, looked at Hei Wu's bruised and swollen face, and sneered, "Aunt Chen, do you have anything else to say?"

  "Let's talk business."

  Fatso grunted and said, "Fat master is a businessman, if it's about making a deal, that can be discussed. But if it's something else... humph!" Hei Xiangzi smiled, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, and sneered, "This deal, you have to accept whether you want to or not."

  Fatso chuckled and said, "Blind guy, what's your business here? Where did you come from and where are you going to stay? In the Western Queen Mother's country, you were a big shot, looking like a human being. Now, all of a sudden, you look like a dog. I, Fatso, really don't get used to it."

  Hei Xiazi sneered and said, "Fatty, it's useless to just brag with your mouth." Fatty was a person who could talk endlessly about things he liked, but when it came to people he truly disliked, he wouldn't even bother saying a word. After Hei Xiazi finished speaking, Fatty ignored him and turned to look at Chen Wenjin, saying, "Auntie Chen, let's discuss some business."

  Chen Wenjin's serious expression slightly eased, and he said, "Xiao Pang, don't worry, I have no ill intentions. This time, in the Zhang family's ancient building, I really saw something that can't be ignored. I'd like to ask for your help."

  "Ask me for help? Ah, Aunt Chen, Mrs. Chen, you're a big shot, what can I possibly do to help you?"

  Chen Wenjin smiled and said, "Since ancient times, the inverted fight has been passed down in one vein. The Northern School has Mo Jin Xiao Wei, while the Southern School has Fa Qiu Tian Guan. Mo Jin Xiao Wei has the skill of searching for dragons and exploring caves. You have inherited the Northern School, so I'd like to ask for your help."

  Fatso immediately came back to his senses and stared at Chen Wenjin with a sly smile, saying: "Are you asking Fat Master to use his dragon-seeking skills?"

  Chen Wenjin smiled and said, "The Mò Jīn lineage is a single transmission, I've thought it over and over, this trip is perilous, but I can only entrust you with it." Pángzi listened and understood in his heart that the blind man and his group must have grasped some clues, they just needed to use the skills of Mò Jīn Xiào Wèi. Although Pángzi had self-proclaimed himself as Mò Jīn Xiào Wèi, he was actually a half-baked expert in his early years, his skills in searching for dragons and exploring caves were not entirely useless, but only superficial, what use could he be?

  But Hei Mangzi and his men did not immediately open fire, apparently because of Mo Jin's presence. It seemed they needed some special skills to find the tomb they were heading for. He didn't say whether he had those skills or not, but instead said: "Aunt Chen, we've been through thick and thin together, and I'm sworn brothers with your nephew. But even among close friends and family, business is business... what's in it for me?" Although Fatso spoke these words, his true intention was to stall for time, thinking of how he could slip away from this group of people.

  But then Chen Wenjin's next sentence made Baozi's heart skip a beat: "In that treasure trove, there is endless gold and silver, inexhaustible wealth, and... Zhang Qiling's..." Baozi's heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously asked: "What?"

  Chen Wenjin smiled slightly and changed the subject, saying: "I suppose you haven't seen him for a long time?" The fat man nodded, thinking to himself: Little brother went to Qingtongmen, how can I see him?

  "Want to know where he went?" she asked others, but they might not know. However, the fatty happened to know, but he didn't say it out loud either. Instead, he followed Chen Wenjin's words and said: "Oh, little brother has been missing for over a year, do you know where he went?"

  "He went to the ultimate place, and he will never come out again." The fat man lost control for a moment and cursed: "Bullshit, little brother can come out in ten years." Chen Wenjin's face changed, and he said lightly: "So you know."
