Ye Bai replied: "It is indeed a treasure place, but I don't care whether the tomb is big or not. I didn't come up the mountain to see Feng Shui."

Jin Abacus has a sore face. If it’s not about Feng Shui, then why did you drag me up?

Mr. Jin, won’t it be nice for me to rest down there?

"What are you looking at?"

Ye Bai explained: "The ancient tomb has been hidden under the lake for so long. It will not be exposed for no reason. Something must have caused the vibration of the terrain to shake the ancient tomb out."

Feeling soreness in his legs and feet, Jin Abacus simply took off his shoes, pinched the soles of his feet and asked, "Then what did you find?"

Ye Bai pointed forward: "There are some discoveries. Look at the mountain in the middle. I have seen Changsha's mineral resource distribution map before. If I remember correctly, that mountain is a mine."

Jin Abacus couldn't help but said: "You have seen such a confidential thing as the mineral resource distribution map. You are really capable. But since it is a mine, explosives must have been used, eh? Do you want to say that the bottom of the lake is shaking because of the mine?

Caused by mining?”

"Yes!"

Ye Bai nodded and continued: "But the mine on the map has long been abandoned. If my guess is correct, someone re-developed this mine privately and used an inappropriate amount of explosives, causing the ancient tomb to be shaken out.

”

Jin Abacus shook his head: "No, we asked the village chief before, and he said there was nothing weird during this period, there was only a woman sinking into the lake. If the explosives made too much noise, people in their village would definitely notice it."

Jin Abacus seemed to have thought of something again. Regardless of the smell on his hands, he slapped his head suddenly, stood up and said in shock: "You mean the people in this village are the ones who mine privately."

Ye Bai showed a look that showed you are not stupid, and said with a smile: "If the people in the village are mining, they will definitely conceal this matter, and have you never wondered why there are so few adult men in the village?"<

/p>

Putting all this together, Jin Abacus couldn't help but sigh: "You are really thoughtful, kid."

"But who are Zhang Qishan and Er Erhong in Changsha City? Can inviting them here help you?"

Seeing Jin Abacus and having doubts, Ye Bai introduced the nine forces in Changsha City.

After hearing this, Jin Abacus was full of praise: "I really didn't expect that Changsha would actually think of uniting all forces. This is much more promising than working alone. Moreover, one of these two people is a representative of the official forces, and the other is an ancestral tomb robber.

The aristocratic family is indeed suitable to help."

The mountain road behind was difficult to walk, and when Ye Bai saw what he wanted, he no longer insisted on moving forward.

After the two of them went down the mountain and returned to the village, it was already noon.

The village chief set up a large table full of wine and food at his home, including freshly slaughtered domestic chickens and ducks, and entertained everyone very politely.

There were many children outside the door who smelled the aroma of meat. They crowded at the door and looked at them pitifully.

"Go, I will leave the remaining village chief for you later. Don't disturb the guests while they are dining here."

After the village chief drove the children away, he poured wine and food for everyone, and repeatedly asked everyone to deal with the water ghost in the lake as soon as possible, otherwise they would never dare to let the children run around again, let alone go into the lake.

Ye Bai and Jin Abacus looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

After resting for a while at noon, I saw Zhang Qishan and Er Erhong finally arriving with dozens of waiters.

The two of them also learned about the general story from Qi Tiezui on the way here, but they were both a little confused.

With Ye Bai's ability, even if there are many sharks in the lake, it shouldn't be a difficult problem to solve.

Call the two of them over, and the harvest under the tomb will be divided a lot.

Ye Bai also knew that it was not easy to invite the two of them here. This was mostly due to the common respect between Qi Jiuye and him.

So he pulled Zhang Qishan and Er Erhong together and first told him what he had guessed about mining.

"This matter is of great importance, and I can't make the decision. They are mining privately, and their crimes can be big or small." After hearing Ye Bai plead for the people in the village, Zhang Qishan shook his head and said.

"Since it can be big or small, there is room for maneuver. If they confess honestly and actively admit their mistakes, Zhang Qishan lets them go. It doesn't matter if they are punished lightly for minor crimes."

Seeing that Ye Bai was telling the truth, Zhang Qishan looked at the villagers who were watching them in the distance. They all looked sallow and thin, and felt unbearable.

If they really couldn’t survive, who would work as a village to do such a thing?

Zhang Qishan took a deep breath and said: "Okay, I will solve this matter."

The three of them called the village chief over and asked about the mining. At first the village chief refused to admit it, but he couldn't stand Ye Bai's questioning and soon told the truth.

The village chief also knew that the village had committed a serious crime. He burst into tears and finally knelt on the ground and begged the three of them to let the village go.

The people in Qi Tiezui in the distance were puzzled, so Jin Abacus told the villagers about the secret mining. The people sighed and didn't know what to say.

Finally, Ye Bai and Zhang Qishan promised that they would not punish them severely and would arrange jobs for them outside the city to make a living, and then they supported the village chief.

At this moment, there was a loud bang and the ground was shaking. Everyone was a little unsteady on their feet.

"What happened?"

"Look at the center of the lake, there is movement!"

Everyone quickly looked at the lake, only to see a huge vortex appearing in the center of the lake, constantly swallowing everything, and it seemed that even the lake water was constantly disappearing.

The water level of the lake dropped at a speed visible to the naked eye, revealing the black silt at the edge.

"My dear, what happened?"

"Isn't it a dragon that absorbs water?"

Everyone gathered around the lake. Although they were afraid, they were more surprised.

Only Ye Bai looked ugly.

The sound just now was very familiar to him, it was the sound of explosives.

Jin Abacus saw Ye Bai's strange color and couldn't help but ask: "What's wrong, apprentice, have you seen anything?"

"This is water pouring in from the lake!"

"Pouring back? Where does it go?"

"What else can there be under lakes and mountains?"

Jin Abacus suddenly opened his eyes: "You mean, the mine?"

Ye Bai nodded: "If my guess is correct, the villagers wanted to use explosives to dig a hole. As a result, they used too much explosives and blasted the bottom of the lake. Now the lake water pours into the mine."

"Then...can anyone still survive?"

Ye Bai shook his head: "If such a large amount of water is poured in, I'm afraid no one will survive."

The conversation between the two was quite loud. When the village chief heard this, his face turned pale, he lost consciousness in an instant, and fell to the ground with his head tilted.

Sun Guofu hurriedly stepped forward to pinch the man and took his pulse. After a while, he sighed and said, "The man is gone."

Ye Bai felt sad in his heart and looked at the women and children in the village standing on the other side.

At this time, they didn’t know what was happening, but they were all attracted by the huge momentum in the lake, showing surprise and smiles.

Ye Bai just felt so powerless.
