Chapter 95: Poor Mountains and Bad Waters
No one cared about the little fat man's thoughts. This guy had no sense of existence except for providing everyone with videos of goblins fighting every day. The car drove all the way, and even lunch was just a casual lunch at a highway service station. It was just after noon when the car got off the highway and followed the national highway to a small county town in Shucheng.
As the car drove northwest, Zheng Wen explained to Zhang Dadao, "The place we are going to is called Changgangtou. It took me a lot of effort to find out that there was a prominent family in Hefei during the Southern Tang and Five Dynasties, and their home was there. You can tell from the name that there should be a fight."
Zhang Dadao rolled his eyes and said disdainfully, "There are at least 500 people with this name. I think it's a waste of effort."
Zheng Wen nodded and said, "This place is not a place that is rarely visited by people. It is normal if there is no one. Don't worry about it. We have prepared many places this time. Liuzi and Datou have already gone to several places where fighting is most likely to occur. We are just doing this on the way."
Zhang Dadao had never cared about what Zheng Wen and his team had done, and had no idea how many places they had found. However, the fat guy's work these days was not in vain. He said, "I think the most likely place is the Zanglonggang. Didn't the county annals say that an emperor was buried there?"
Zhang Dalu said happily: "Are you stupid? Such things can't be found in any county. They would like to say that there is a god buried there! Where did so many emperors come from for them to bury? Where is the hell is that place?"
Zheng Wen nodded and said, "Although county annals are mostly full of bragging, I think this place does have some stories. It is said that during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, an emperor of Former Shu took his treasures and wandered there. After his death, a loyal man built a large tomb and then built a village to guard the tomb. The place is in Sichuan."
Zhang Dadao rolled his eyes in disdain and said, "You're talking nonsense. I still don't believe there's really an emperor's tomb waiting for you to dig!"
Zheng Wen shook his head and said nothing. The little fat man took out his notebook, opened a topographic map and handed it to Zhang Dadao, saying, "Take a look. This is a topographic map that I found with great difficulty. It's not very detailed! But it's probably near Changgangtou."
Zhang Dadao was so angry that he threw the laptop onto the fat man's belly and cursed, "You call this not detailed enough? This is not detailed at all, okay? What the hell is this? Have you ever seen someone use Google Maps to read Feng Shui? What are you talking about without details?"
When Zheng Wen heard this, he became anxious and said quickly: "Is this not possible? What should we do? All we can find are like this, and it was not easy to get it! I specially found a few friends who study geology and got the research data from them."
Zheng Wen said directly: "I said that Brother Tianshi doesn't have such great ability! Look at the novels, they can find out that there is a fight underground just by looking at the scene. How can you need a topographic map? I think this matter is unreliable, let's break up!"
Zhang Dadao looked at him with contempt and said, "What do you know! Let's break up, is your last name Zhu? Or is your name Wuneng nicknamed Bajie? What don't you understand! With the topographic map of the time, the possibility of success is higher, you know? We can still see it without it, but there may be some errors. You just put in more effort, if you really have it, you can still find it. Who am I~" Zhang Dadao was about to brag.
Zheng Wen turned the car, braked, and stopped the car in a forest by the road. He interrupted Zhang Dadao and said, "Get out of the car. We are here ! Let's take a look at the situation first. If we can confirm that there is a fight, notify them to come over."
Zhang Dadao got out of the car with displeasure, saying, "Looking at the situation, you don't think there's a fight here! Why don't we just go to a few more possible places ? It's just a waste of my time. If I had known, I would have charged per visit. We have to share the risk of investing in this technology. It's really not worth it."
Zheng Wen got out of the car, looked around, and pointed to a small mountain road in the distance and said, "Go up there and see when you're higher up."
Zhang Dadao took a look and saw that the path was covered with grass and trees, which obviously did not seem to be frequented by people. He also saw that there were many ridges nearby, and a dry river on the side, revealing the pebbles under the riverbed. He shook his head and said, "Don't climb! Just look at this place and you will know that the feng shui is really bad. The mountains are poor and the water is bad. The mountains are like knives. The wind is like an arrow. There is a noisy road below the mountain. It is impossible to bury a person. If you die, I will bury you here. You can try it. How much do you like to live in a lively place like this! If a large truck comes at night and you lie here, you will not be happy even if you dream about it."
Zhang Dadao saw that the mountain was high and the road was dangerous, and knew that climbing up was not an easy task, so he immediately started to make up a long list of reasons. Zheng Wen was also a little hesitant, and the little fat man hurriedly said: "Brother Zheng, he is lazy and doesn't want to go up. There was no road here thousands of years ago."
When Zheng Wen heard this, he also felt that it made sense, and hurriedly advised Zhang Dadao: "Dadao, this is related to our financial future, you have to be careful. It's too perfunctory to say it's not possible without even taking out your compass to check. It's reasonable to spend money without putting in effort, and other places won't be much easier!"
Zhang Dadao saw that he couldn't be lazy anymore, so he could only glare at the little fat man and said, "Forget it, I'll just listen to you and go up to take a look, so that you can give up. But this fat man has to come with us!"
The little fat man was also dumbfounded when he heard this. With his body size, it was obvious that he was not a diligent person. Just looking at the height of the mountain, the fat man felt weak all over. If he was asked to climb up, he would probably collapse halfway. The little fat man glanced at Zheng Wen and suddenly became very serious. He nodded and said, "I think with Brother Tian's ability, he can see almost everything even if he doesn't go up the mountain! I don't think it's necessary to go up the mountain."
Zheng Wen shook his head, looked at Zhang Dadao and said, "Master, I suddenly feel that what you said makes a lot of sense. He will definitely be of great use if he goes up there!"
The little fat boy was in despair, but Zheng Wen and Zhang Dadao had joined forces, so he had no chance of resistance and could only be dragged up the mountain by the two of them. The mountain was not that high, and although the little fat boy was holding them back, the three of them still reached the top of the mountain after two hours. Zheng Wen was a country boy, so he was naturally strong, and although Zhang Dadao was lazy, he was also in good shape.
Only the little fat guy was holding back, he stopped every three steps. If it weren't for Zhang Dadao and Zheng Wen pulling and kicking him, the little fat guy would probably still be lying halfway up the mountain. The end of the mountain road is actually not the top of the mountain, but an open space near the top of the mountain. Going further up is impossible because it is too dangerous.
When they got there, Zhang Dadao took out the military compass and started gesturing around. The fat guy collapsed on the side and complained, "Sure enough, I'm not suitable for doing such physical work! I think I'd better just live stream from now on. I won't do this no matter how much money I make !"
Zheng Wen kept an eye on Zhang Dadao and said, "You've got to take advantage of us! You've also been exercising with us. Otherwise, with your condition, you'll have cardiovascular problems in a few years!"
Zhang Dadao heard this and said, "That makes sense. Fatty, you look like someone who will die young. If you don't work hard, you won't live long."
The little fat man rolled his eyes and said stubbornly: "I believe your lies. If I die young, it's all your fault. If you do this a few more times, I'll be exhausted to death!"
