Sunken Silver in the Desolate Province [Supernatural]

The story has undergone major revisions. The chapters that aren't locked have been revised. I'll see it through to the end. Synopsis: At the border between two provinces, legend tells of an ancient place called Huangzhou, where the notorious bandit Zhang Chongjiang was buried along with his sunken treasure. Centuries have passed, and the waters of the past have given way to towering mountains. The sunken silver of Huangzhou has long since become a distant legend. Until one day, a woman appeared, claiming to be a descendant of the Zhang family. She said that Zhang Chongjiang had sunk more than gold and silver treasures: he had also buried the secret of an entire map. - Zhou Kan never asked anyone for help. Zhang Yao knew exactly what kind of man he was. In Zhou Kan's own words, he had a few "unnecessary scruples." A man like him seemed destined to have others come begging him for help. And given his poor reputation, Zhang Yao could picture him perfectly: a green-faced, fanged monster who would stop at nothing to get what he wanted. Even when he seemed harmless, he would secretly set traps for people without batting an eye, make them willingly fall into them, then make them beg him to help them out. Even the King of Hell would think twice before getting his portrait tattooed on his back. Besides, Zhou Kan had sought her out with ulterior motives. Yet in the not-so-long time Zhang Yao had known him, she had heard him say the word "please" to her twice. Once, he asked her to leave him behind if she ever found herself in danger. The other time, she was on Zhou Kan's back as he trudged through the mountain rain, forcing himself forward despite his illness. He begged her not to give up on him. "Zhang Yao, stay alive," Zhou Kan said. At the time, Zhang Yao was barely conscious. As he called to her again and again, her awareness began to drift. "What about you?" "I'll survive too." Amid the pounding rain, the man's voice was exceptionally firm. "Because I'm going to get you out of here." Love is instinct, not a choice. Love is loving you even when fate isn't stirring up trouble. - Note: 1. All historical, archaeological, feng shui, and other knowledge in this story is made up. Don't take it as fact.
