In the hot summer, the sun above our heads makes the loess soil scalding hot.

Hu Bayi, Wang Kaixuan, and Jin Wantang sat in a small truck from a fellow villager and staggered to the small fishing village mentioned in the telegram from Wu San Province.

The archaeological team heading to the Xisha Undersea Tomb will gather here.

The three of them got off the car at the entrance of the fishing village, and a cool sea breeze blew not far in front.

Wang Kaixuan wiped the sweat from his forehead and faced the sea breeze: "It's so damn comfortable. I was almost heated to death along the way."

After Hu Ba got off the car, he picked up the compass and observed the terrain of the nearby mountains, acting like a master.

Jin Wantang said worriedly: "Brothers, I have agreed in advance that I can join the team through connections. When the time comes..."

Wang Kaixuan interrupted: "Do things with a high profile and be a low-key person. My uncle Jin, you have said this no less than 180 times."

After getting along with each other for half a month, Jin Wantang has figured out the details of the two people's personalities. Fatty Wang is bold and cautious, and he is greedy for money, while Hu Bayi is just the opposite. He not only has real abilities, but is also good at observing people's words.

Among the two of them, Fatty Wang is the bastard, and Jin Wantang is really afraid that he will cause trouble in the team.

Hu Bayi comforted him: "Don't worry, Boss Jin, I will take good care of Fatty."

"That's good." Jin Wantang nodded and led the two of them into the small fishing village.

There were four security guards at the entrance of the village. Jin Wantang took out the pass sent to him by Wu Sansheng and was allowed to pass.

However, these guards checked the luggage of the three of them very carefully, and even turned out the two red underpants that Wang Kaixuan was carrying.

"Brother, you are going too far. I went to Tiananmen to see the great men and women were not treated like this." Wang Kaixuan kept talking.

The four of them had straight faces and ignored Wang Kaixuan at all.

Wang Kaixuan wanted to speak again, but Hu Bayi glared at him and quickly closed his mouth.

The fishing village is not big. The three of them walked through several small wooden houses and came to a large courtyard. People were coming and going here. Wu Sansheng and a few people were checking the sea chart at the wooden table.

Jin Wantang's eyes lit up and he quickly stepped forward and shouted: "Little Third Master Wu!"

Wu Sansheng turned his head: "Old Jin, you are finally here." Then he turned his attention to Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan behind Jin Wantang.

"These two are the descendants of Captain Mo Jin mentioned in your telegram?"

"Little Third Master Wu, let me introduce to you. This brother is called Hu Bayi. He is proficient in Tianxing Feng Shui and gold-touching acupoints. His grandfather is an authentic gold-touching captain, but he was not awarded the gold-touching talisman.

They are brothers Wang Kaixuan."

Wang Kaixuan was a little angry, why did he introduce it to the point where he ran out of words?

Jin Wantang couldn't care less about Wang Kaixuan's feelings, and continued: "Brother Bayi, Brother Kaixuan, this is the third young master of the Wu family, the general organizer of this archaeological team..."

"My name is Wu Sansheng. Both brothers are older than me. Just call me Sansheng. Don't call me young master." Wu Sansheng stretched out his hand and shook it enthusiastically.

Wu Sansheng recruited four more people, two men and two women, but judging from their dress and demeanor, they were not ordinary people.

"This is Huo Ling, this is Chen Wenjin, this is Jie Lianhuan, and this is Li Sidi. They are all members of the archaeological team. Let's get familiar with each other as soon as possible."

The people in front of him were all members of the second generation of the Nine Gates. Jin Wantang quickly stepped forward to shake hands with them one by one, very enthusiastically.

Wu Sansheng spoke again: "There is also Professor Chen in the archaeological team this time, but he is out for business, so the two brothers will see each other in a few days."

Huo Ling, who grew up in Peking, knew Jin Wantang well and couldn't help but ask: "Old Jin, why are you here too?"

Jin Wantang quickly responded with a smile: "Miss Huo, I'm just here to help with some chores."

Under the leadership of Wu Sansheng, Hu Bayi and others quickly became familiar with everyone.

Chen Wenjin and Huo Ling also took the initiative to send the luggage of brothers Hu and Wang into the house.

Seeing this, Hu Bayi's previously worried heart was relieved. These people from the Nine Sects didn't seem to be difficult to get along with.

Little did they know that Wu Sansheng had already told his companions about Hu Bayi’s identity.

Hu Bayi's grandfather was Ye Sanye's younger brother, so he was naturally considered a member of the Nine Sects.

"Lao Jin, some supplies will be delivered later. Go to the entrance of the village to help." Wu Sansheng said.

Jin Wantang felt a pain in his heart, knowing that Wu Sansheng wanted to get rid of him, but there was no strange color on his face, so he quickly responded with a smile: "Little Wu Sanye, I'll go right away."

Everyone gathered in front of the chart again, discussing the sailing direction and things to pay attention to.

Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan were new here, so they just listened and watched without interrupting.

At this time, Wu Sansheng suddenly asked with a smile: "Brother Bayi, I heard that your grandfather studied under the Yin Yang Eye Master Sun Guofu. I wonder if Brother Bayi can learn the means of catching monsters and subduing ghosts."

We were having such a good conversation about going to sea, why did we jump to the question of catching ghosts?

When Hu Bayi was testing himself, Wu Sansheng paused and said, "Perhaps my talent is dull, but my grandfather did not pass on these skills to me."

"That's such a pity. I also want to see what ghosts look like." Huo Ling covered her mouth and chuckled. The ringing laughter attracted Wang Kaixuan's eyes.

Wang Kaixuan's eyes were straight, as if he had lost his soul.

Huo Ling blushed and lowered her head slightly. Why did this fat man look so unashamed?

"Lao Hu, haven't we encountered a fox demon before? Why don't we tell everyone about it." Wang Kaixuan bumped into Hu Bayi's shoulder and said softly.

Although the voice is soft, everyone can hear it.

"Fox demon? Tell us quickly." Jie Lianhuan, the most impatient one, urged.

Hu Bayi had no choice but to tell the story of when they were ten years old and encountered a fox demon attacking the village.

"...The fox demon has the face of an old lady, which is very scary. It can also swallow inner elixirs. It has been cultivated for hundreds of years, and it has groups of fox children and grandchildren under its command..."

Huo Ling couldn't help but ask: "Wow, how did such a powerful fox demon die in the end?"

"I heard from my grandfather that the fox demon was killed by his senior brother with thunder. Unfortunately, I was asleep at the time and did not see my master."

Hu Bayi's tone was rather regretful. The golden bamboo talisman given to him by the master had saved him many times. He had always wanted to meet this master, but now that so many years have passed, the master should have died long ago.

Alright.

"Brothers Sansheng, I am a master from nine sects. You must have heard of me, but I wonder if there are any descendants alive? I want to pay a visit." Hu Bayi looked at Wu Sansheng and asked.

Wu Sansheng looked strange and did not say much: "Of course there are descendants of that person, and you will see them soon."

After the story was told, everyone began to discuss business again, and now the most critical issue was before everyone.

Although they can determine that the Xisha Undersea Tomb is in a certain area of ​​the sea, they cannot determine the specific location.

"Brother Bayi, I heard that you are not only proficient in the method of touching gold and fixing acupoints, but also know the art of Tianxing Feng Shui?"

Hu Ba nodded: "Boss Jin asked me to come here to solve this matter. However, the ocean is different from the land. Hundreds of years have passed, and the sea has changed so much. I don't know whether Tianxing Feng Shui can be used."

"Brother Bayi, what is Tianxing Feng Shui? Can Captain Touch Jin know this skill?" Huo Ling couldn't help but ask. Although she came from the Huo family, she had never been to the tomb a few times.

Wu Sansheng explained: "Celestial Feng Shui is not actually a special skill of the gold-touching school captain, but a unique skill of Zhang Sanye's sect in the late Qing Dynasty. The ancients were good at observing the sky and studying the changes of the stars to speculate on the good and bad luck, and chose
