Chapter 117 Is the mountain underground?

Zhang Jiayong and Zhang Xian arrived at the exit of the supermarket. Not long after, they saw Zuo Xiong carrying a big bag and a small bag. Not only him, but also a large bag and a small bag in the hands of Lu Dandan and Zuo Xiong's two subordinates.

Lu Dandan showed a helpless face. She was going to buy a woman's necessities, but Zuo Xiong regarded it as a coolie.

"Brother Xiong, are you... too exaggerated?" Zhang Jiayong widened his eyes. Through the transparent plastic bag, Zhang Jiayong saw a set of barbecue seasoning boxes and some fresh food gift boxes.

"Hehe." Zuo Xiong just giggled foolishly.

"Don't be in a hurry? I think you are like a trip and having a picnic." Zhang Jiayong said speechlessly.

"My boss said that this matter can be slow, and there seems to be other progress in the laboratory, so it is rare to come out this time, so I don't have to have fun?" Zuo Xiong explained.

"So that's it, okay. But Zhang Xian and I saw an ancient map, which may be helpful for us to find the correct location of Devil Mountain." Zhang Jiayong nodded and said.

"Then buy it." Zuo Xiong said.

"It costs ten million." Zhang Jiayong said.

"Ten million. Ten million? What kind of ancient map is a fucking ten million? At an auction, Magellan's navigation map only sold more than one million US dollars. Can this map be comparable to Magellan's navigation map?" Zuo Xiong reacted and said in surprise.

"Yes, it's a bit expensive, so I'm not discussing this with you?" Zhang Jiayong said.

Zuo Xiong narrowed his eyes and noticed Zhang Jiayong's cunning eyes. He immediately understood and said, "Do you want me to pay?"

Zhang Jiayong was a little embarrassed, but he didn't expect to be knocked out by Zuo Xiong. However, there was nothing surprising about the old fox like Zuo Xiong who was knocked out by his insight.

"Let's go and take a look. I'm really curious about what ancient map is so expensive. This boss is afraid that he wants to slaughter the customers." Zuo Xiong analyzed.

Zhang Jiayong took Zuo Xiong back to the antique shop, but at this time, there was a group of people in the antique shop, all carrying khaki mountaineering bags, which looked like an expedition team. This group of people were standing in front of the display cabinet where the ancient map was stored.

The boss was waiting on the side. When he saw Zhang Jiayong and the others coming in, he just glanced at him in a faint way.

"Boss, I want this ancient map." Zhang Jiayong vaguely felt that the group of people also took a fancy to the ancient map, so he hurried over and said to the antique shop owner.

"You want it? But these friends want it too." The boss said in a difficult situation, but there was a hint of pride in his eyes, thinking that you didn't buy it just now, now there is another group of people competing for this ancient map with you!

The group of people were generally men around thirty years old, and they looked at Zhang Jiayong, the "child".

"What do you want to do with this map?" Zhang Jiayong asked with a smile, saying hello.

Unfortunately, these people ignored him and directly gave him a bank card. The antique shop owner took the bank card and felt happy.

"I'll give you a discount and I'll charge you 13 million." The antique shop owner smiled and his mouth was grinning at the corners of his ears.

"No, boss, why did you sell it for 13 million? You sold it to me before, but it only costs 10 million.

Ah!" Zhang Jiayong said.

The antique shop owner said intimately that it was broken, blaming himself for his broken mouth for breaking up the charges, and he also secretly annoyed that he did not consider Zhang Jiayong here.

"Boss?" One of the group of people frowned slightly. Obviously, he was very dissatisfied with the boss's different quotation.

"This...then I will charge you 10 million." The boss said awkwardly.

"No need, this map is not necessary." The man who spoke looked like the leader. At this time, he took the bank card from the boss and then took the others away very simply.

The boss looked at the people leaving, gently slapped himself, then turned to look at Zhang Jiayong, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and said, "Little brother, this map is 10 million, no, how about selling it to you nine million?"

The boss was not in a hurry to sell this ancient map, but I don’t know what happened. Recently, many copies of ancient maps have been circulated, and many people have purchased them. Now there are more and more copies of ancient maps on the market.

The ancient map displayed in this display cabinet is actually a sample, and the real complete map has been collected by the antique shop owner.

However, with the emergence of ancient map copies, the real ancient map is depreciating, because the correct routes on the ancient map have been exposed, and the ancient map has lost some of its value.

"Five million." Zhang Jiayong said.

"Five...five million? No, the minimum is eight million!" The antique shop owner shook his head.

"Five million." Zhang Jiayong insisted.

"Seven million, the lowest is seven million!" The antique shop owner once again cut the price.

"Six million, forget it if you don't." Zhang Jiayong said.

"Success, six million is six million!" The antique shop owner gritted his teeth and agreed to Zhang Jiayong's offer.

After paying the money, the antique shop owner went to the back and took out the complete ancient map he had collected, and handed it to Zhang Jiayong with the small black piece of paper.

"Oh, I don't know what happened these two days. Many people are collecting ancient maps everywhere, and many copies of the correct routes of ancient maps have been exposed. The ancient maps are not worth much." The owner of the antique shop said when he handed them over to Zhang Jiayong.

"Someone collects ancient maps? Boss, has there been more than one ancient map?" Zhang Jiayong frowned.

"There is indeed only one real ancient map. My one is true, but there are also many ancient maps from other eras. However, for some reason, the routes and markers on these ancient maps were exposed and made into many copies. I wondered, my ancient map has never been exposed, so how could anyone know the routes drawn above?" The owner of the antique shop said depressedly.

"Boss, do you mean there is a copy of your map outside?" Zhang Jiayong stared at the antique shop owner and said. What Zhang Jiayong was interested in was the route and landmark above, and he was not interested in historical value at all.

"Ah!" The cold sweat appeared on the forehead of the antique shop owner again. He didn't expect that he would let it go again.

"Forget it, I bought it all." Zhang Jiayong shook his head speechlessly. Anyway, it was not his money spent, so if you were cheated, you would cheat. And, what if there is anything special about the authentic ancient map?

However, judging from the news revealed by the antique shop owner, it seems that

It’s a bit unusual inside. Someone is actually collecting ancient maps. Is this a pure hobby or has other purposes?

However, judging from the fact that a large number of ancient map copies have been circulated, it should have other purposes. Is there someone looking for something?

Or are there some particularly powerful forces looking for Devil Mountain?

Zhang Jiayong felt that no matter what, this time, I would have to be more careful when going to Devil Mountain and beware of the sudden intervention of some other forces.

After everything was ready, Zhang Jiayong and his team officially embarked on a journey to find Devil Mountain. Their first destination was a large prairie 30 kilometers away from Mengchuan County.

Zuo Xiong had been here before, but he had not gained anything. However, Zhang Xian still suggested to come here first, because referring to the map, he felt that the Devil Mountain was very likely to be here.

"Are you sure you are here? I have been here before, and if a mountain is on this prairie, it will definitely be abrupt and conspicuous. How come it can't be seen?" Zuo Xiong said.

However, Zhang Xian didn't say much, but just ordered the driver to drive the car and continue around the grassland for a few times. During the whole process, Zhang Xian kept his eyes closed, as if he was sensing something.

Zhang Jiayong suddenly realized that Zhang Xian should have used spiritual energy to explore the familiar aura. Zhang Xian had been here before, but as long as he had come, he would leave clues. Some things that were invisible to the naked eye could not be easily erased even if time could not be used to erase them.

He drove around the outer periphery of the entire prairie several times, crossed and penetrated several times, and the tires almost crushed every inch of the prairie. Unfortunately, Zhang Xian just shook his head in the end.

The next destination is another big prairie, which is almost all grassland. It took several hours to go on another prairie, but there was still nothing to gain.

The first day of exploration was unsurprisingly without any gains, but everyone had a good attitude. After all, if Devil Mountain could be found so easily, Zuo Xiong would have found it long ago.

The next day, they set their target in an abandoned mining area. Zuo Xiong has also been here and even sent precision machines to dive deep into the mining area. It is really necessary to find Devil Mountain if they dig three feet into the ground, but Zuo Xiong did not find it.

"I feel it, I feel the familiar breath." As soon as he entered the mining area, Zhang Xian opened his eyes and stared at the interior of the mining area with his eyes glowing.

"Devil Mountain is here? But I have been here before, there is no mountain here at all!" Zuo Xiong said.

"I don't know if it's Devil Mountain, but it does have a familiar aura." Zhang Xian said.

"Can you feel exactly where you are?" Zhang Jiayong asked.

"Drive forward!" Zhang Xian showed the driver the way, the car moved forward all the way, and finally arrived at the mine.

Everyone got out of the car and walked to the abandoned mine. It was dark and holey inside. I wonder how deep it was. Is Devil Mountain inside? It’s underground? It’s a bit incredible!

"Are you sure it's here?" Zhang Jiayong asked, pointing deep into the mine.

"The familiar aura I feel is here!" Zhang Xian nodded affirmatively.

"I sent someone down to check it out before. It was an abandoned mine with nothing. And how big a mountain is? Although this mine is quite large, it may not be able to hold a whole mountain, right?" Zuo Xiong questioned.
