"Sorry, I'm late. In the face of the Giant Whale Gang who came out of town to greet him (although most of it was just a coincidence), Pan Long showed apologies, "Occasional adventures, penance in the mountains, forgetting the years." ”

Ren Fengtao smiled all over his face: "It's a good thing to have an adventure, and the rest of you can cultivate for more than a year in one breath, I want to meet it too! Where will you complain about anything, you will only envy you, brother!"

"Let's go, let's pick up the wind and wash the dust for you today, we won't get drunk and go home!"

Having said that, Pan Long still didn't drink a drop of alcohol, and even ate some foods with a light taste and not easy to poison.

He still remembers that he is now playing the role of "Ah Fei, the lone swordsman", a person who is quiet, cautious, and wary of the whole world, and definitely not the kind of person who will easily eat and drink in a restaurant.

The Whale Gang had seen his style last time, and they didn't think it was strange. It's just that the guys in the store watched him sit at the banquet, but only drank water, and only ate simple to simple food such as baked bread, and couldn't help but be very curious, and looked at him several times.

"For the past two years, we have been looking for traces of that treasure, and now we are almost five or six points sure. "After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Ren Fengtao began to talk about business, "Now all that is missing is the key token to open the treasure." With your help, brother, this summer solstice, we will definitely be able to open the treasure and see what kind of things the big man left behind a thousand years ago. ”

Pan Long nodded, he hoped for it too.

He asked, "Why are there so many people in town?"

"Brother, you don't know anything, and you don't know who it is, and you spread the news of the treasure. In the past few years, before the summer solstice, a large number of Jianghu people will come to the Tiannu Gorge area, some of them live in the opposite town, and some live in this Qiaonan Town. It's actually pretty good now, but on the day of the summer solstice, almost all the people on the Tongtian River are ......"

Ren Fengtao sighed: "When we open the treasure, there may be a trouble!"

"It's just a few boxes, what's the trouble?"

Ren Fengtao was stunned for a moment and asked, "Brother, do you think that the treasure is just a few boxes?"

"Isn't it?"

Ren Fengtao shook his head: "Of course not! That's the treasure left by the big people in the early years of Great Xia, no matter what, it can't be just a few boxes!"

Pan Long frowned and asked, "Could it be a secret realm?"

"I think it's a secret place. Ren Fengtao smiled, "It's not impossible for someone like that to move mountains and seas." What's so strange about cutting a piece of space and turning it into a secret realm like a cave and a blessed earth?"

"Why?"

"If it were you, would you be willing to let someone you don't like get the treasure you left behind?"

Pan Long shook his head: "It's better not to." ”

So he must have set up a treasure place full of traps and traps, except for those who can pass his test and get his approval, even if others have gained, they are only corners. ”

Ren Fengtao said with a smile: "Just like the treasure hunting stories that often appear in "Seeking Immortals", every time Han runs and runs, doesn't he have to go deep into the secret realm to find treasures? ”

"That's just the story. ”

"Stories don't have to be completely made up, they have to be based on facts. Ren Fengtao said, "First of all, there is such a treasure, and then someone can make up such a story." It's like when you make a god idol, at most, it's just half human, half beast, or add a few extra hands, a few legs, a few eyes, or something, but someone really makes something out of nothing and fabricates a strange idol that has nothing to do with reality?"

Pan Long thought for a while and nodded: "Reasonable!"

"Haha, anyway, brother, you have a good rest, there are still three or four days before the summer solstice, if you are bored, you can play in the town. Remember to recharge your energy, on the day of the summer solstice, let's go treasure hunting together!" Ren Fengtao waved his hand, looking high-spirited, "This treasure has been buried for thousands of years, and it should be time to reappear in the sky!

The meal was eaten from one o'clock at noon to more than three o'clock in the afternoon, and finally Ren Fengtao got drunk and was carried away by the giant whale gang.

Pan Long stayed in an inn next to the helm of the Giant Whale Gang, the conditions of this inn can only be regarded as mid-to-upper-class, and it is better to be clean and safe - most of the ordinary people who go to the rivers and lakes will not choose to live next to the gang, mainly because they are afraid that the fish in the pond will be harmed when the rivers and lakes are vendettas.

He entered the inn, but he didn't know that inside the helm of the Giant Whale Gang beside him, something important was being discussed.

Ren Fengtao, who was still drunk and unconscious just now, was smoked with a hangover secret medicine and came to his senses. I vomited at the basin once, and drank sobering tea again, and soon the whole person was in good spirits, as if he had never been drunk at all.

"Ah Fei is here, and our plan can be implemented. He said with a serious expression, "Inform the chief rudder that the 'fishing' plan can be executed." ”

"I'm always a little worried. Deputy Helmsman Yu said, "Those gangs that have had a holiday with us will really be desperate to send a large number of masters over and fall into the trap?"

"Of course!" Ren Fengtao showed a confident smile, but there was murderous intent in his eyes, "The treasures left by the big people in the early years of the Great Summer are likely to have a few treasures that can temporarily exert the power of the Immortal Buddha. As long as we get our hands on these treasures, they will be wiped out. ”

"In that case, do they have any other choice? Of course, they can only snatch the treasure with all their might, and even if they can't get it, they can't let us get it. ”

Several of the surrounding gangsters nodded their heads one after another.

As early as after receiving the information about the treasure, the Whale Gang had already made several corresponding plans. When Ren Fengtao met "Ah Fei" and determined that the jade pendant carried by the lone swordsman was likely to be the key to unlocking the treasure, they even modified these plans and drew up a final version of the plan.

That plan is called "fishing."

To put it bluntly, it is to use treasure as bait to lure those gangs that have conflicts with the Giant Whale Gang, so that they can send a large number of masters to hunt for treasure. Wait until you get to the treasure, and with the help of the traps in the treasure, you can kill all these masters to weaken the power of those gangs.

If you can successfully eliminate a large number of masters of rival gangs, it is likely that the next step is to launch an offensive against these gangs. Even if they can't be completely eliminated to prevent future troubles, at least they will be beaten and injured, and they will not be able to breathe for several years or even more than ten years.

This is the key reason why Ren Fengtao is so interested in treasures.

The treasures left by the big men in the early years of the Great Summer are of course very good, and of course they are very curious, but Ren Fengtao is also a helmsman who divides the rudder, how can he make a big deal just for his own curiosity?

For him, treasure hunting is only secondary, the main thing is to take advantage of the opportunity to clean up those rival gangs!

For this plan, he has been preparing for a long time. Whether it is the release of the news in the early stage or the performance for two consecutive years, it is to enhance the credibility of the "Treasure of Tongtianjiang" and make those rival gangs convinced.

The treasure is real, of course, but most importantly, how much does the enemy value this treasure?

Judging from the current situation, those hostile gangs have really attached great importance to this treasure, and this year they have sent a large number of masters to entrench in the town north of Tianlu Bridge, and in terms of strength, they have even far surpassed the south branch of the Giant Whale Gang.

But Ren Fengtao was not worried, but happy.

The more people come, the more you can pit!

He couldn't wait for all the masters of those gangs to go out, and when the time came, they all followed him into the treasure, and then none of them could get out!

When the time comes, what choice will those gangs have but to surrender?

If he can do this big thing, he Ren Fengtao will definitely be able to take a big step forward in the Giant Whale Gang, and he will be transferred from the rudder to the chief rudder and serve as the protector of the Dharma, which is probably a logical thing.

(If you become a Dharma protector at the age of 35, you can become an elder at the age of 45, if you are lucky...... It's not like I don't have the opportunity to become the leader of the Whale Gang!)

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile all over his face, as if he had eaten and drunk.

In another place in Qiaonan Town, in the guest room behind the Wangjianglou Hotel, the ethereal son Jiang Bei was reading.

He sat near the window, holding a book in his hand, and read it carefully. The demeanor is peaceful, the posture is elegant, and it is full of elegant temperament, which looks like an immortal who has come out of the picture scroll.

Suddenly, he turned his head to look out the window.

A small pale yellow bird flapped its wings and flew in with a clear chirp.

He smiled, walked to the window, and reached out his hand.

The little bird seemed to be completely unafraid of people, and flew directly to his hand, which he gently grabbed, and turned around, only to see a small paper roll tied to the bird's belly.

Unwrapped the scroll, it was a letter written in code.

Jiang Bei read the letter with a smile, nodded, and patted his hand lightly, and the thin piece of letter paper turned into powder, and disappeared without a trace as soon as the wind blew.

He took out a bright red fruit and fed it to the bird, and when the bird had eaten the fruit, it cried a few more times, flapped its wings and flew away.

Jiang Beimu sent the bird to fly away, and only sat down again until he could no longer see its trace.

He picked up the book again and continued to read, but his expression was no longer focused on reading, but frowned, obviously thinking about something.

After a long time, he seemed to have solved a problem, smiled, became peaceful and quiet again, and regained the appearance of the prosperous beauty.

Pan Long rested for a long time, went out early the next morning, and came to the helm of the Giant Whale Gang.

He told the Whale Gang that he wanted to find someone who was familiar with the nearby geography and took a look around the area to familiarize himself with the terrain.

"Is it necessary?" Ren Fengtao went out to run errands today, and the deputy helmsman Yu Zecheng stayed in the rudder to be on duty, and listened to his request, the thin Yu deputy helmsman asked in wonder, "We have long been familiar with the nearby terrain, not to mention that this is the territory of our giant whale gang, as long as there is a treasure, we will have our manpower to respond, don't be afraid." ”

"Be prepared. Pan Long said succinctly.

Deputy helmsman Yu didn't argue, thought about it for a while, and transferred two people to him.

These two people are a pair of uncles and nephews, the uncle is called He Jixiang, and the nephew is called He Ping. Both uncles and nephews are dark and thin, and their stature is slightly short, but their eyes are bright, their movements are vigorous, especially their breathing is extremely long, I don't know if it is watery or deep internal force?

Among the two, He Ping is a self-acquaintance and talks a lot, and before they left Qiaonan Town, he made the origin clear.

Both of them are residents of Qiaonan Town and have lived here for generations. As Pan Long guessed, they were born fishermen, and they have been fishermen for generations.

The water around the Tiannu Gorge of the Tongtian River is turbulent, and it is not a safe thing to be a fisherman here, not only does it require excellent water quality, but also extreme familiarity with geography and hydrology to avoid danger and even gain something.

"The entire Giant Whale Gang, needless to say, those masters, we can't compare, but among the ordinary gangs, if you want to talk about the familiarity with the area of this Tiannu Gorge, our uncle and nephew are called the second and third, and no one dares to call themselves the first!" He Ping said confidently, "What do you want to know, young man?" If we don't know, then no one knows. ”

Pan Long nodded, asking if there was a suitable location nearby for an ambush.

"Ambush?" He Ping thought for a moment and said, "Our Yizhou is mountainous, although it is not like Yunzhou where mountains are next to each other, but it can be regarded as full of mountains. Of course, the same is true on both sides of the Tiannu Gorge. It's so easy to find a few places to ambush people...... Shaoxia, it's hard for me to answer this question. Because I can come up with at least twenty or thirty suitable locations for an ambush just by a cursory thought. ”

Pan Long frowned and asked, "What about near the treasure?"

He Ping immediately replied: "That place has a wide field of vision, and we have been working hard to excavate that area in the past two years, and now it is difficult to hide it, let alone a person, even if it is a fly." If you go on a treasure hunt, you don't have to worry about being ambushed at all. ”

Pan Long was slightly stunned and asked, "There's no place to ambush?"

"Definitely not!" He Ping patted his chest and promised, "If you don't believe it, I'll take you to take a look, and you'll understand." ”

Soon, they followed the banks of the Tongtian River to a place with surprisingly open terrain.

It can be seen that the trees here have been deliberately cut down, and the traces of excavation on the ground have probably removed a lot of stones that obstruct the view, and even ...... Even the weeds were cleaned up.

As He Ping said, the field of vision here is not ordinarily broad, and if you want to ambush here, you must have the ability to hide underground.

Seeing this scene, Pan Long smiled and nodded, as if he was relieved.

But in his heart, he wondered more and more.

The terrain is so open that the treasure hunt is not completely exposed?

It is conceivable that when the treasure appears, the tourists who gather here will definitely flock to it, and then the treasure will be as crowded as the vegetable market.

In this case, even if they have a token, they may not be able to grab the treasure.

Could it be that Ren Fengtao really just wants to get happiness from the "treasure hunt", and as for whether he can get the treasure, he doesn't care about it at all?
