Hu Bayi looked serious.
"Boss, is there a way to fix this?"
"Not sure for now, but it's worth noting that we should try not to split up."
Zhang Tian said, his gaze fell on Zhang Qilin, Zhang Tian was mainly worried about Zhang Qilin getting separated from them later.
That way, the divination would be accurate to some extent.
Zhang Qilin didn't speak, just nodded lightly.
"As for the rest, I won't say more. Everyone be careful of danger."
As Zhang Tian spoke, Shirley Yang frowned.
"Mr. Zhang, is it really that mystical?"
Shirley Yang, having studied in the US, had experienced the underwater tomb and was still curious and skeptical about such fortune-telling.
Hu Bayi nodded.
"The boss's divination is very accurate."
"It's basically never been wrong, no need to doubt it. Second Brother, let's go get our gear ready."
Hu Bayi said, and Zhang Qilin nodded.
"The things we need have already been organized. We can set off anytime."
Zhang Qilin said softly, his voice low. This was the first time Shirley Yang had heard Zhang Qilin speak.
Sometimes he wouldn't speak even during meals.
"Second Brother, you silent type, you finally spoke. So, Second Brother, when do we leave?"
Fatty was a bit happy, as Zhang Qilin speaking more was quite a relief for him.
"Tomorrow."
After uttering two words, Zhang Qilin said no more.
Zhang Tian nodded.
"Alright, we'll head directly to the desert tomorrow."
As Zhang Tian spoke, the others had no objections.
They had all wanted to go to the ancient city for a long time, so how could they have any objections?
Besides, it was spring, and the weather in Xinjiang should not be too hot, which would be more convenient.
Zhang Tian was quite eager to see Zhang Qilin bravely venture into the ancient city of Jing Jue. From the previous tombs, Zhang Qilin had performed like he was cheating in the tomb of the Ghost Lamp.
"Then everyone get ready. Second Brother, let's go buy some gasoline. I don't think there's a train from Beili to Xinjiang, right?"
Zhang Tian said, he planned to drive.
The construction of the railway around the Taklamakan Desert in Xinjiang was in 2014.
But now it was the 19XXs, and China was generally still poor. Even if they were to build a railway around Xinjiang, it would probably be in the next few years.
Therefore, the most convenient mode of transportation would be a car.
"Drive there?"
Zhang Qilin asked with some confusion.
But he didn't show it.
"Yes, the most convenient mode of transportation is a car, but the route might be very long."
Zhang Tian thought to himself, he wasn't very familiar with the route.
After all, road construction was a luxury in this era, let alone highways.
Zhang Qilin was indifferent. He nodded and followed Zhang Tian.
"Are they brothers?"
Shirley Yang looked at Zhang Tian and Zhang Qilin as they left and couldn't help but ask.
"We are all brothers."
Hu Bayi said earnestly, his eyes serious.
In Hu Bayi's eyes, they were brothers closer than blood, having gone through life and death together.
Fatty nodded with rare seriousness, while Shirley Yang was somewhat puzzled.
She didn't understand this kind of camaraderie. In the US, everyone yearned for freedom, and there were very few true brothers; most relationships were based on mutual interests.
"I've refined a lot of Youming Pills, and I've used up all the Bian Hua."
Zhang Qilin spoke from the side, feeling that the medicinal ingredients were used up too quickly.
He hadn't paid attention and then they were gone.
"Perhaps we can find other medicinal ingredients when we go to the ancient city this time. Don't worry. But have you refined any pills to increase cultivation?"
Zhang Tian pondered and asked.
Zhang Qilin shook his head slightly.
"We don't have those medicinal ingredients. We only have Snow Lotus Pills and Youming Pills for now."
Zhang Qilin said as he walked.
Then, as if he remembered something, he spoke again.
"The model of the Heavenly Palace we saw in the underwater tomb before, it has been appearing in my mind recently."
As he spoke, Zhang Tian frowned slightly.
It seemed that Little Brother wanted to go to the Cloud Top Heavenly Palace.
Speaking of which, Zhang Tian realized that he seemed to have an endless supply of tombs to rob.
One after another, waiting for him to rob.
It was like choosing his favorite toys, lined up waiting for him to pick.
"There will be opportunities."
Zhang Tian patted his shoulder.
Then, the two of them arrived at the nearest gas station.
Zhang Tian directly bought several barrels of gasoline.
If he hadn't considered that the car couldn't hold more, Zhang Tian would have bought more, as there weren't that many gas stations in this era.
"Sigh, if only I had Master's butt-hiding storage ability."
Zhang Tian sighed inwardly.
Then, they each carried two large barrels of gasoline and headed back towards the Siheyuan.
The gasoline barrels were about a meter high, and Zhang Tian carried them effortlessly.
This attracted many astonished glances.
Zhang Qilin was somewhat confused as to why Zhang Tian was buying so much gasoline, but he didn't ask further.
Soon, after organizing the gasoline, Zhang Tian went to buy a few spare tires and a set of car repair tools.
By the time everything was done, it was already evening.
Zhang Tian brought Zhang Qilin back to the Siheyuan. In the courtyard, besides Hu Bayi, there was also a young man and another stout man.
"Hmm? Young Master Wu, have you changed your mind?"
Seeing Wu Tianzhen, Zhang Tian smiled.
"Yes, I agree. Next time Master Zhang goes to Japan, take me with you. I want to go too."
Wu Tianzhen said earnestly, and Zhang Tian nodded.
"Good, then let us contribute to China together."
As Zhang Tian spoke, both of them smiled.
However, when Wu Tianzhen saw Zhang Qilin, he felt a strange feeling in his heart.
Zhang Qilin had fed him blood before and saved him repeatedly. Wu Tianzhen still remembered it.
But at some point, Zhang Qilin had disappeared. Who knew that the last time he saw him, he had already gone to Zhang Tian's side.
"Then I respectfully accept. Master Zhang, we'll be going now. We'll be in touch."
Wu Tianzhen did not choose to stay any longer, as they were not that familiar with each other.
His staying would seem a bit strange.
"Boss, why did you buy so many car repair tools?"
Fatty asked, looking at what Zhang Tian was holding.
"It might come in handy later."
"By the way, Old Hu, where is Miss Yang?"
Zhang Tian looked around and didn't see Shirley Yang.
"She's gone to get ready. We'll meet outside Beili City tomorrow."
With that, Zhang Tian nodded, and everyone began to prepare.
Zhang Tian also went home for a quick visit.
After telling his mother and father that he and Zhang Qilin were going on a trip, Zhang Tian felt that everything was ready.
With the experience from last time, Zhang Tian bought a snake, dogs, and chickens in advance, so they could drink some blood before entering the tomb.
Soon, the next morning.
Zhang Tian drove a German-made military off-road vehicle out of Beili City.
At the rear of the off-road vehicle, Zhang Tian had also modified a compartment.
This way, they could carry more things.
The off-road vehicle roared to the entrance, kicking up a cloud of dust. At this moment, Shirley Yang was already waiting with a large backpack.
Zhang Tian looked around; only Shirley Yang was there.
Professor Chen had clearly not come.
At this moment, Chen Xi, seeing this scene, was stunned.
What was going on? Grandfather wasn't going with them?
