Chapter 12 Mr. Palm Eye

Sure enough, it was late at night, Tang Xiaohao was carried back again, but I didn't know the person who carried him back this time, but when he saw his bloody bag, it seemed that he had kowtowed again. According to Mr. Tang, the person who sent him back was from the in-laws. The silly boy almost knocked out a big hole in the ground at his house. Although the in-laws were so angry, he couldn't bear to see him no matter what. After he was unconscious, he found someone to carry him back.

Witnessing a separation of life and death with my own eyes, I feel mixed feelings, with regret and deep touching, the dead are gone, and the living should live well, and remembering is the best way to keep it in my heart. By the second day, Tang Xiaohao had returned to normal.

Looking at Mr. Tang sitting in the living room, Tang Xiaohao held it in for a long time before bowing his head and said, "I want to move into the archaeological team to live for a while. Besides, there is an archaeological discovery recently that our team needs to help. I...I'm going."

Mr. Tang glared at Tang Xiaohao and said, "If something happens, you will know how to escape. If you want to numb your busy work, I won't stop you. But you may not know more about your recent work situation. A recent archaeological discovery requires a lot of people, but where did you put me, the old man, and have you taken it to your heart?"

Tang Xiaohao sighed lightly and said, "Dad, I know you are an irreplaceable Mr. Palm. You need your attention to digging the ancient tombs, but your body can still withstand the tombs. Anyway, Yu Han, who just came to the team, is proficient in ancient and modern culture and has some research on tomb funerals. With him, there should be no big trouble. You can stay at home with peace of mind."

"Nothing." Mr. Tang glared and said, "Mr. Palm Eye does not rely on his knowledge and culture. He has no problem with research. When he sees real things, he is not blind. I have also seen the topographic map of the ancient tomb. It is very complicated. It is definitely not something that a raw melon seed who has just read two years can be seen. I have just experienced a great disaster. If something happens to you, who will I, the lonely man, count on, to go?"

Tang Xiaohao was anxious when he heard this: "Don't mention that matter, okay? But where can I find Mr. Palm? Why don't you recommend one to me and I'll invite you, but don't blame me if you can ask me for it."

I was shocked. The father and son were fiddling... Sure enough, Mr. Tang turned his head and stared at me, and smiled and said, "On the seventh day of the lunar month, you have helped our Tang family a lot. I shouldn't bother you anymore, but the archaeological team really lacks manpower. With your Maoshan technique, I must be more than enough to be a stern master. Oh, I'm just such a son. If he has another one... please don't refuse, just help me this time, okay?"

It turns out that Mr. Tang is here to stay for me for so many days. Oh, why didn’t I realize it long ago? When asked, I stammered and didn’t know what to say: “This…”

Tang Xiaohao also said immediately: "Mr. Chuqi, I know that your Taoist Dharma is mysterious. It is really a pity for you to be a master of the palm. But our archaeological team is about to set off to the scene. If something really happens... Don't worry, I will apply to the superiors for the rewards, and it must be twice as high as when my father was in office. Look."

I smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Hao, you misunderstood. It's not because I don't pay for it. It's all the same for me. It's just that I have a mission and can't delay it."

Seeing me saying this, Tang Xiaohao hurriedly glanced at Mr. Tang beside him. Mr. Tang hesitated for a moment and said, "I know you are looking for your Maoshan treasure. If you are willing to help this, I will start contacting archaeologists from all over the country today and spreading a big net out. Be sure to find out the clues you are looking for in a short time. After spending most of your life in the archaeological circle, you should believe that I still have this appeal."

I rubbed my hands and laughed: "I appreciate Mr. Tang's kindness, but it is the responsibility of my disciples who are in the sect to find the treasure of the mountain. I cannot promote it too much. It's better to go with the flow."

Tang Xiaohao shook his head helplessly and said, "Okay, since Mr. Chuqi insisted on doing this, I dare not force it. But this time, the Shanxi delegation may be destined to have more twists and turns."

"Shanxi." I asked curiously: "I just visited Shanxi a while ago. I don't know where your archaeological site is."

Tang Xiaohao's eyes lit up and he hurriedly agreed: "When talking about this archaeological discovery, it would be a bit evil. If it weren't for some news from the locals, we still don't know that there was a royal tomb from the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty in Tongyao Town, far away in Shanxi."

"What," I almost had something exploded in my head at the same time. I stood up suddenly, stared at Tang Xiaohao and asked, "Shan... Tongyao Town, Shanxi, is it Fulong's Cave?"

Tang Xiaohao did not mean to joke, and immediately nodded, "According to the information reported back, the location of Tongyao Town is an excellent Feng Shui dragon cave, but it is unclear what specific acupoint is. Regarding the cemetery in the dragon cave, the locals said that it was Li Yumei, an external official, who was later seized by Zhuang Guojiu, who was powerful for a while, that is, Zhuang Guojiu was buried inside. Speaking of which, nothing strange happened in that cemetery for nearly a hundred years. It was just a few months ago that the cemetery collapsed as a whole, and there was no warning. It is inferred that it may be that the craftsman made a flaw in that year, or it may be that some wild animals touched the mechanism inside. In short, the entrance to the passage of the cemetery was completely blocked."

My whole body trembled slightly. Isn’t the cemetery that Tang Xiaohao mentioned the place where the master died?

After a pause, Tang Xiaohao continued: "The local excavation equipment cannot reach the ability to operate in the mountains at all, but it is not easy for our equipment to enter. We set out from Yanjing more than ten days ago, and now we are barely able to install the excavator."

"Excavator." I frowned: "What is an excavator."

Tang Xiaohao was stunned and said, "It is an excavation equipment that replaces manual labor. It has not been done before. It started to be independently developed and produced by the Fushun Excavator Factory in China two years ago. There are currently no more than ten units in China. Our archaeological team has one of them, a mechanical single-bucket excavator."

I thought about it, if the excavation equipment could really dig the cemetery, wouldn't I be able to find the master's body?

The blood in my body was boiling, and I walked forward excitedly and said word by word: "Brother Hao, when can I get started working?"

Tang Xiaohao and Mr. Tang looked at each other, and their eyes widened in disbelief. Mr. Tang asked in shock: "Seventh day of the lunar month, you... aren't you... why are you... able to go to work at any time? As long as you are willing to be this Mr. Zhang, I'll be relieved."

Since I promised to be this Mr. Palm, my heart has never calmed down again. My mind is full of recollection of the scene in Tongyao Town, as if everything was just happened yesterday, so clear. The appearance of the master and the moment of farewell are all vivid in my mind...

If I could find my master's body, I could bury him well, which was worthy of my master's kindness. Thinking of this, my eyes were slightly hot, and I could no longer suppress my sadness. A tear fell inadvertently.

When Tang Xiaohao took me to the Archaeology Institute, Lu Tie and others were loading the car. When they saw me, they already understood the general idea, but Tang Xiaohao still made a grand introduction: "Mr. Chuqi will be our temporary consultant from now on. I will even listen to his words, and everyone should cooperate with Mr. Chuqi's work."

The temporary consultant, to put it bluntly, is Mr. Palm. The so-called Mr. Palm. In the archaeological team, it is the position of the tomb. In the eyes of antique dealers, it is the one who identifies the authenticity of antiques. Therefore, Mr. Palm indirectly also controls the fate of everyone behind him.

Lu Tie and others are roughly familiar with me, but more of them must have felt a sense of inexplicable awe of me. After saying hello to me, they continued to work hard on their hands.

Tang Xiaohao helped me get a name for the archaeological institute, which is a symbol of my formal work. In fact, the descendants of Maoshan rarely surveyed tombs for others, and were even disgusted by the act of robbing tombs. The Palmologists among the tombs are generally driven by interests. The righteous people mostly seek dragons and explore caves for good people to benefit the people. For example, now, since the Fulong Cave has collapsed, it will definitely attract the attention of many people. If the serious archaeological institute does not maintain the national treasure and ancient tombs, will it be left to the tombs and robbing? Therefore, this time, being a Palmist is also a matter that benefits the country and the people.

It was still the old yellow military truck. Tang Xiaohao and I got on the car, and several other team members also sat in the car one after another. Then, the car started and headed towards Shanxi Province.
