Book 1: Chapter 87

The composition of those murals was very peculiar and I figured they had been painted on the ceiling of the South Sea Kings tomb. I hadnt paid any attention to them before. There were several silver rivers painted on the murals with ships sailing on them. From time to time, there were dragon towers and halls painted above the river, as well as wharf cargo stations. I covered my mouth. At that time, I had been shocked by Uncle Three's reappearance and made a huge mistake in not noticing that there was something wrong with the walls.

If I had noticed this at the time, I wouldn't have gone to Yang Daguang's ancestral grave and couldve gone directly to the South Sea King's tomb. I wouldnt have had to blow the mud up or be beaten by Uncle Two.

But after thinking about it, I realized it wasnt necessarily a bad thing. I comforted myself as I connected all the causes and effects. Uncle Two probably realized that I wasnt in a good state after I didn't find something strange with the reception rooms walls. Then, I made at least ten wrong decisions right in front of him.

I continued looking through the information. On the seashore by Pingtan Islands Liushui Town, Uncle Two and the others had found a hole near Xianren Well (1). The hole was the air outlet of an underground river, which led all the way into the underground river system.

I picked up my e-cigarette and noticed that Liu Sang hadnt been in the team at that time. It seemed that his appearance was related to Uncle Two's next plan. He probably only went down into the South Sea Kings tomb with us just to get close to his idol.

Before entering the South Sea Kings tomb, Uncle Two had noticed that there was something wrong with the pigment on the reception rooms murals.

I suddenly thought of Liu Sang. In addition to listening to thunder and looking for underground tombs, Liu Sang also had a powerful ability: he could chase thunderclouds. Was it as I thought and Uncle Twos next job for him was to chase thunderclouds?

When I thought of this, I decided to check the weather forecast. Unfortunately, it wasnt going to storm in Hangzhou any time soon. I decided to put the idea aside for now and continue looking through the information. Uncle Two had taken a lot of close-ups of the next mural. I looked carefully and found that I wasnt supposed to be looking at these close-up details of the mural, but at the numerous pencil marks that were there. These marks were the result of someone carelessly copying the mural.

Uncle Two's note read: This was the only mural copied back then.
