Chapter 412

Although Old Pizi has been dead for a long time, I haven't forgotten a single thing he taught me. Once we arrived, we checked Huo Yinyang’s sister into a hotel, then took the two of them through the streets and alleys to start scouting for any information related to the Ancient Tomb. I had already made up my mind: even though we had arrived ten days early, we would absolutely not enter the Ancient Tomb until the Nine Stars in a Line phenomenon appeared. The three of us posed as antique dealers, venturing into the villages surrounding the town to fish for news. To our surprise, there were quite a few genuine treasures in the villages around here. What was critical was that many of these items were strikingly similar to the artifacts we had seen in the Ancient Tombs we’d explored in the past—things like bronze tripods and various bone-based ritual implements. Sometimes, these items would appear in clusters, with several pieces surfacing at once. By the end of our first day, we had seen over a hundred such items.
