Chapter 26 Entering the Ghost Prison

  "We'll hand the three-eyed Buddha over to someone trustworthy and have them take it for carbon-14 dating. Meanwhile, we'll rush to the Old Master Temple waters to meet with the big shots of the Zong Tian Group and see what they're up to. I wonder if the boss will show up in person?" Jin Tianhang said. "Your idea isn't bad, but where do we find this trustworthy person?" Lan Xinlin blinked her eyes. "How could you forget him? He's definitely someone we can trust." Jin Tianhang slapped his own forehead. "Ah, how did I forget?! Let's contact him right away!" Huang Zhen looked at the two with a confused expression, having no idea what they were talking about.

  Lan Xilin picked up her phone, but hung up before the call went through. "I almost forgot, there's a mole by his side. If the mole hears the phone call, wouldn't the Three-Eyed Buddha fall into the hands of the Zongtian Group?" Jin Tianhang said, "You're right, this matter can't be taken lightly. We need to think of a foolproof plan." Huang Zhen interrupted, "What's going on? Tell me and I'll come up with a solution." Lan Xilin still had her guard up against Huang Zhen, "Thanks, but it's better if we handle this ourselves. Who knows if you'll switch sides at the last minute and join the Zongtian Group again?" Huang Zhen felt wronged, turned his body to the side, and even covered his ears with his hand.

  "I've got an idea," Jin Tianxing said in Lan Xinglin's ear. "We can use a courier company to send the information about the Zongtian Group and the Three-eyed Buddha's head to Captain Han. He'll receive it soon." "Let's do that," Lan Xinglin patted Huang Zhen's shoulder, saying, "The two of us will go take care of something and come back quickly. You wait here for us, and when we get back, we'll go explore the Old Master Temple Water Domain together." Huang Zhen said, "You two hurry up, time is almost running out." After the two walked away, Jin Tianxing asked, "Are you just going to leave him alone? What if he runs away?" "His words can't be fully trusted or distrusted. Maybe he's a spy sent by the Zongtian Group. If he runs away, it means he has a guilty conscience." Jin Tianxing sighed, "I hope this ends soon. I'm really tired." "It'll be over in just one or two days. The mystery will be solved," Lan Xinglin said with a bright smile. "How can you be so sure?" Jin Tianxing teased, "In my opinion, women's intuition is a mysterious thing that's both true and false, seemingly empty but actually having roots and evidence. It's really hard to figure out." Lan Xinglin was surprised, "When did you become a philosopher?" Jin Tianxing shook his head, saying, "Life forced me to!" The two found a courier company and repeatedly instructed them to hand-deliver the package to Captain Han. When they returned to the small park, Huang Zhen hadn't left but was sleeping on the grass. Hearing their footsteps, he quickly sat up from the ground. Jin Tianxing joked, "Your reaction is pretty fast." "It has to be," Huang Zhen said. "If not, I would have been killed by the Zongtian Group's people long ago and wouldn't still be alive today." Lan Xinglin said, "Time is running out. Let's set off soon." When the three arrived at the Old Master Temple Water Domain, it was already past four o'clock, and the sun was about to set. The sky was somewhat dark, with leaden clouds covering the air, making people feel a bit oppressed. The nearby small mountains had no vitality, shrouded in gray mist like eerie clouds. Normally, there were no fishermen fishing in this water domain, especially when the sun was setting. But today, over a dozen people were strolling around the lake shore.

  Here is the translation:

  Huang Zhen pointed far away at those people, "See? They're all from the Zong Tian Group. Their feet are right above the Ghost Tomb." Lan Xinlin asked, "What are they doing?" Huang Zhen lowered his voice and said, "They're confirming the entrance to the underground palace. It looks like something will happen tonight." Jin Tianxing took a few steps forward but was pulled back by Huang Zhen, "What do you want to do?" "From so far away, we can't see what they're doing clearly. Of course, we need to get closer and take a look." "We can't get any closer. If we go further in, we'll be discovered." Lan Xinlin also said, "Let's be careful. We don't know if it's really Zong Kuo himself who has come. Even Long San and Lin Tianxue haven't appeared yet." Jin Tianxing sat down on the ground, "Then let's wait." After sunset, the three of them took advantage of the darkness to move forward a few hundred meters. There were five or six more people by the lake, digging a hole and burying something. After they finished, everyone retreated far away. With a loud bang, a huge cloud of dust rose up from the shore. Lan Xinlin said, "A silent explosion. It looks like the Zong Tian Group is really going to take action." When the dust settled, a large pit with a diameter of about five meters appeared on the ground. Five or six burly men began to clear away the dirt and rocks. As the light gradually grew darker and the visibility became blurry, Huang Zhen asked in a low voice, "At their speed, they'll reach the Ghost Tomb in less than an hour. What should we do?" Lan Xinlin looked at Jin Tianxing, "What's your plan?" Jin Tianxing was hesitant for a moment. Huang Zhen chimed in from the side, "The Ghost Tomb is so mysterious. If we miss this opportunity, we'll regret it for our whole lives." Lan Xinlin scolded him, "No one asked you to speak. Just stay on the sidelines." Jin Tianxing was torn. If he went down, the Ghost Tomb was full of unknown dangers and mysteries. If he wasn't careful, his life would be in danger. But if he didn't go down, Luo Yi might be below, and he wouldn't be able to rest easy for the rest of his life without figuring out what happened to him. Just as he was hesitating, two off-road vehicles arrived at the lake, and seven or eight people got out of the cars.
