"I also saw in the family history that my ancestor was named Wang Quanyi. He was a soldier, and it seems he held quite a high position, called Wei Commander. At that time, he received a mission to guard against the rebels in this area."
"The family history records just these details, but I heard from my ancestors' tales that the emperor had given him some orders to find treasures in the mountains. However, you know, there are caves and crevices everywhere in those mountains, filled with all sorts of things. Once you go deeper, you might encounter some strange occurrences."
"At that time, my ancestor led troops to capture many people from here to search for a way into the mountains, claiming they were looking for an entrance. Later on, they captured many craftsmen because it seemed they discovered a large tomb in the mountains, but the entrance was sealed shut. So they needed these people and craftsmen to go in and open the tomb."
"I heard that when they opened the tomb, many strange things happened, and quite a few people died. My ancestor was demoted because of this incident and later stayed in this area, forming our Wang clan!"
Bai Yujing nodded after listening: "Is there more?"
Wang Dekai immediately replied, "That's all I know!"
Bai Yujing then asked, "Don't you have any records about how to navigate through the caves? Didn't anyone mention how to get through?"
Wang Dekai thought for a moment: "No, but I remember my grandfather saying that when they found the tomb, it was during the rainy season. There was a flood, and flash floods appeared in the mountains. My ancestor ordered those soldiers and the captured craftsmen and laborers to build boats to navigate through the Underground River. There were monsters in that river, but they eventually found the large tomb!"
Qian Jia immediately interjected: "Building boats? How could there be such a large Underground River underground? You're just talking nonsense!"
Wang Dekai quickly responded: "That's what my ancestor said! It's been so many years; who knows what's true or not? None of us have seen it!"
Bai Yujing stood up, picked up the gun from the table, threw it to Qian Jia, and walked toward the door. Wang Dekai couldn't help but wipe his cold sweat as he watched Bai Yujing and the others walk away. He couldn't help but curse under his breath but felt even more cowardly; this kind of person is typical of bullying the weak and fearing the strong. When faced with someone like Bai Yujing who didn't care about anything, he felt helpless and dared not go out to spread rumors or pick fights. Bai Yujing's earlier harsh words clearly showed he didn't take him seriously. However, Wang Dekai knew that this type of person typically acted rather than talked; if he did something wrong, who knows if the Special Investigations Unit would come knocking on his door to arrest him.
After Qian Jia went outside, he started nagging at Bai Yujing: "You guy actually pretended to be from the Special Investigations Unit! Even we ourselves wouldn't casually draw our guns; we are organized and disciplined!"
Bai Yujing immediately said, "Just to scare him a bit. This guy is a typical old trickster; even if we give him ten thousand, he would dare to ask for a hundred thousand. If we give him a hundred thousand, he would want a million. Plus, he will definitely hold back some information and wait to trick us later. If we don't show him some toughness, how can we get the results we want?"
"You guys are too soft; your actions are really inefficient. That gun of yours, how long has it been since you used it? It's almost rusted!"
Qian Jia properly engaged the safety on the gun and replied, "Do you think everyone is like you? The look in your eyes just now and your movements were so sharp that I thought you were really going to shoot!"
Xiaojin also patted his chest in agreement with Qian Jia. Bai Yujing quickly shifted the topic, "Alright, that's enough for now. We finally got some useful information from him."
Qian Jia nodded thoughtfully, "Back then, Wang Quanyi found Bai Wang Tomb through the Underground River, and he even employed craftsmen to build boats. This means there must be a significant Underground River underground in this area. I'll check the geological water resources around here when I get back; we should be able to find this Underground River!"
Bai Yujing thought for a moment, "I feel like we're getting somewhere!"
Qian Jia looked at Bai Yujing and asked, "What do you mean?"
Bai Yujing replied immediately, "Wang Quanyi must have found the entrance from inside a cave and then built boats to reach Bai Wang Tomb via the Underground River. Have you heard about Leopard Pool from Zhou Jun? He mentioned that every rainy season, the water in Leopard Pool rises dramatically due to the influx from the Underground River. It seems similar to what Wang Dekai just described!"
"Back then, during the rainy season, Wang Quanyi must have encountered heavy rainfall that caused the river to swell and triggered a flash flood. That's how he discovered the route leading to Bai Wang Tomb, mobilizing craftsmen to build boats to navigate through the Underground River."
"This Underground River likely exists beneath Leopard Pool. If we dive in, we should make some discoveries!"
Bai Yujing said to Qian Jia, who nodded in agreement, "You're right. However, it's also possible that beneath Leopard Pool, there's only a tributary of an Underground River, not the main channel. These underground rivers are usually very complex. If we enter at the wrong spot, it could be just as dangerous as drilling into that cave. We should first check the geological water resources of Bai Wang Mountain, then combine that with the location of the cave; it should be easy to find the route and entrance that Wang Quanyi and his team discovered back then."
After considering it, Bai Yujing felt that Qian Jia's approach was more prudent. "Alright, you go find someone to handle that. I'll go find Zhou Jun to prepare some supplies; this time we might need to dive and drill into the ground, so we'll need some essential equipment!"
As he spoke, Bai Yujing furrowed his brow and said, "Moreover, did you hear what Wang Dekai just said? When the Bai Wang Tomb was opened back then, many people died, and some strange things appeared. I suspect there might be dangers inside, so we should be cautious!"
The two parted ways. When Bai Yujing found Zhou Jun waiting by the roadside in his car, Zhou Jun immediately asked, "How did it go? Did you find anything?"
Bai Yujing nodded, "Although we weren't given a clear location, we have some vague clues. However, based on the information we gathered earlier and cross-referencing it, we should be able to find the correct entrance!"
Zhou Jun exclaimed in surprise, "So you're saying the Bai Wang Tomb really exists?"
Bai Yujing replied irritably, "You've been with me and even found Atlantis's Spaceship; why are you still surprised? You should have seen enough of the world by now; don't let this little scene astonish you!"
Zhou Jun shook his head, "I've adventured all over the world and faced many dangers and extreme experiences. But this place is my hometown. I never expected there would be an ancient kingdom's king's tomb so close to where I live. My family has lived here for generations and never heard of it or knew about it!"
Bai Yujing nodded, "Alright, you know the situation this time. You have more experience; see what we need to bring. Let's prepare everything together!"
