For dinner, everyone ate for more than two hours before it finally ended, Qin Jue's craftsmanship was very good, and everyone finally feasted. A hundred catties of wine, a third of which was killed by a few people, and they were a little high, especially Xuanwu, who drank to the end and called the old man brothers, which caused everyone to roll their eyes.

After dinner was over, everyone went back to the wine shop in a leisurely manner, still Xuanwu and Che Fox were in the same room, and Qin Jue and Gao Yue were in the same room.

After taking a cold bath, Qin Jue lay down and rested, he drank a lot, especially the sorghum wine had a lot of stamina, which made his head dazed all the time. On the other side, Xuanwu and Che Fox had already fallen asleep, and the snoring was louder than thunder, but even so, Qin Jue still slept peacefully.

Gao Yue came back from washing, and was so noisy by the movement next door that she couldn't sleep, at this moment, she saw two figures at the door, she hurriedly stretched out her head to look, it was officially the shopkeeper and the guy, this snoring was really earth-shattering, they were all woken up when they fell, this snoring sound was like a pig's bark, and the two of them hurried over to take a look.

Pushing the door in and seeing the two people who were asleep, the two were slightly stunned, sighed, and retreated again.

Gao Yue couldn't laugh, she glanced back at Qin Jue, and saw that he was also sleeping heavily, with a wicked smile, she slowly uncovered her thin pajamas, reflected her flawless body in the moonlight, and walked towards Qin Jue step by step.

Early the next morning, everyone set off, according to the previous arrangement, Zhuge Lu led a few people to Yunmengze, originally Qin Jue planned to go by himself, but he couldn't bear the request of the three of them, so they set off together.

"Steaming clouds and dreams, shaking Yueyang City. From Meng Haoran's "Looking at Dongting Lake for Prime Minister Zhang", Yunmengze was originally the name of ancient Daze, located in Hubei and Hunan, but there are differences here. Entering the mountain forest and walking out of the mountain road for more than ten miles to the southeast, there is a cliff that comes into view, and there are a few crooked neck pine trees standing on the edge of the cliff, which have been rooted in the cliff after the baptism of wind and rain.

On the cliff, the clouds are shrouded, stacked and surrounded, it looks quite a feeling of nine heavens; the gap between the cliff walls on both sides of the strait is less than ten meters, but it is bare, there is not even a stone to settle on, and even more, it seems to have been washed by rain all the year round, the edge of the cliff is very smooth, the grass and trees do not grow, and the thick clouds make people not see the bottom at all.

"Master, this is Yun Mengze!" Pointing to the cliff, Zhuge Lu's face became a little more solemn.

This is a strange place, not only is it a strange sight of clouds stacked, but more importantly, people have gone in to explore it several times before, but all the people who entered the bottom of the cliff did not come out again.

There was once an old man here, with a stone roughly estimated the depth of the bottom of the cliff, according to the echo of the stone landing, the height of the cliff is at least more than 1,500 meters, it is difficult to go down to the bottom of the valley, plus many years ago there was an ape man injury incident here, there was a lot of uproar, so no one here is willing to explore at all.

So it's always been a mystery here, and no one knows what's at the bottom of this cliff. However, according to the old man Zhuge Menliang, there were really some people who came out of the bottom of the cliff and entered Qishan Fort, and one of them was quite similar to Qin Jue's appearance, and he may be the purpose of Qin Jue's trip. Although she had already guessed this, Zhuge Lu didn't ask much, she knew that this was not a battlefield that belonged to her.

Nodding, Qin Absolute Xuanwu waved his hand, signaling that he could start.

Before leaving, Xuanwu was completely prepared, so before setting off today, he deliberately returned to the gunship and carried all the ropes and belongings.

Soon Xuanwu put the rope in and checked the strength of the anchor pile, then turned around and smiled at Qin Jue.

"Boss, get ready. ”

"Very good!" Qin Jue nodded, turned around and instructed Zhuge Lu: "Xiaolu, you can also go back, go back and clean up with Xinchuan, and when we come back, we will go back to Jinghua with me." ”

The girl nodded, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she held back.

"Master, then take care of yourself, and I'll go back. ”

Reluctantly looked at everyone's words, and his expression was full of worry.

After waving goodbye, Qin Jue didn't stop, jumped off the cliff, didn't even tie the lock on the rope, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Seeing this, the three Xuanwu were also anxious, hurriedly made preparations, and then slid down the rope.

Qin Jue's skills are very good, and his calculations are also very accurate, at the beginning, every ten meters, he pulled the rope to buffer it, and let the speed of his fall be reduced. After passing through three or four clouds in succession, there was still no bottom below, and gradually he lost his patience and changed to a rope of fifty meters.

And the three Xuanwu people in the back were not in a hurry, and slowly descended.

Half a minute later, Qin Jue finally saw the bottom of the cliff, and at this moment he had descended a thousand meters. But fortunately, the rope prepared forward was long enough, and it had already fallen to the bottom of the cliff, but the lower it was, the greater the swing of the rope, especially when the four people descended together, and the position of the rope kept changing, which also he had to pay attention to.

The speed slowed down again, and he slowly descended to the bottom of the cliff. At this moment, the bottom of the cliff is full of miscellaneous rocks, and it looks like a small mound. And on the rocks, there are still these two piles of white bones scattered, maybe this is the people from the village, maybe because the cliff is too high, these two people obviously fell to death.

Next to the pile of corpses was a small stream no more than a meter wide, and the water was so light that it seemed that small fish were swimming again. It's just that Qin Jue was looking out from a high place, and he never found a village or a house, and there was not even a trace of human activity.

Sighing helplessly, Qin Jue's face was slightly cold. He frowned and muttered in a low voice: "If the Zhuge family really lives in seclusion here, I'm afraid this is just a portal, and the real Zhuge family is probably even more hidden." ”

After another half a minute, Qin Jue landed, he breathed a long sigh of relief, and looked up, at this moment, the three of them had only walked half the distance. Shaking his head slightly, he lit a cigarette and began to look around.

Strange to say, the bank of the creek was originally a wetland, if someone really moved here, they would definitely leave footprints, but Qin Jue searched for a long time and didn't find it. Especially the two pairs of white bones, which had already been beaten by the wind and rain, were a little black and yellow, and some scattered stones were pressed on them at will. It is obvious that this is the rubble that the mountain rain washed away from the cliff wall.

There were many signs that there had been no one here for a long time, and if this was the only way out of the valley, it meant that they hadn't been out of the valley for at least a few decades.

This news was not good news for him, the north and south passages under the valley were covered by fog, and it was impossible to see clearly on both sides, and there seemed to be large mountains and forests. Now all he has to do is choose a direction to continue the investigation.

Puff puff......

With three soft sounds, the three Xuanwu finally reached the bottom of the cliff.

"Damn, don't you have any hair? Boss, this old door beam won't be lying to us, right? Why didn't I send him so much wine?" Xuanwu complained and said, not paying attention to his feet, only to reach a white bone, maybe his weight was too heavy, and he directly stepped on the white bone's arm.

Seeing this, Xuanwu hurriedly retreated, arched his hand, and smiled awkwardly: "I'm sorry, I didn't see it." ”

"If you trample someone's hand off, the apology is over, be careful that people turn into ghosts and come to you. Gao Yue chuckled, her face slightly red.

Somehow, Qin Jue found that Gao Yue was strange today, and his face had been flushed since the morning, and it had been the same until now. If he hadn't seen her and there was nothing wrong with him, he would have thought that this girl had a fever.

"There are woods in front of and behind here, and you can't even see the shadow of a village, which direction should we go?" asked Gao Yue, puzzled.

"Why don't you calculate a hexagram first?" Che Fox asked softly, as if asking Qin Jue's opinion.

But at this time, Qin Jue was looking up at the cliff, frowning, as if thinking about something.

"Xiao Qin Qin, what are you thinking?" Gao Yue asked in a low voice.

Qin Jue smiled softly: "I was thinking that the bottom of this cliff is so deep, if the Zhuge family really lives under this cliff, then how did they go up? How did they come down? We also checked the rocks on the top of the mountain before, and there were no signs of damage, and there were no traces of ropes or chains. ”

Perhaps reminded by Qin Jue's words, everyone glanced at each other, and their faces were puzzled.

"Could it be that the people of this old family can fly off the wall, or have some climbing mechanism in their hands?" Xuanwu said in a low voice, his face also gloomy.

"I'm afraid it's impossible to fly the eaves and walk the wall, presumably it's the latter, according to legend, Zhuge Liang originally made wooden oxen and flowing horses, presumably they must have some mechanism in their hands, so that they can move freely on such a steep and smooth stone wall. Che Fox stroked his long beard and said solemnly.

"I think this is the only explanation, it's just that the bottom of this cliff is so big, where should we go to find the Zhuge family?" Gao Yue continued to ask, originally thought that the bottom of the cliff was the lair of the Zhuge family, but I didn't expect that the bottom of the cliff was so accessible, there was no shadow of a village at all, and it seemed that if we wanted to find the Zhuge family, it would take a lot of effort.

"In that case, let's go forward in two directions. Qin Jue shook his head slightly and breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Xuanwu, you and the Taoist priest set off to the south, Gao Yue and I went north, everyone is five kilometers dangerous, once you find anything, don't startle the snake, hurriedly call the other party, if there is still no news, come back along the way, and then come back here." Let's go!"

With that, Qin Jue took Gao Yue and set off north, while Xuanwu and Che Fox headed all the way south.

The steep cliff wall stretches for 100 meters before it comes to the end, and then there is an endless mountain forest. The mountains are dense with trees and trees, as if you have walked into a primeval forest, except for this small stream that stretches forward without an end in sight. This situation is very common in the Qinling Mountains, Qin Jue has grown up in such an environment since he was a child, and naturally knows that if the village is hidden in the woods, it will be difficult to find.

Looking at his watch, it was already past eleven o'clock at this time, if there was really a village, I was afraid that the smoke would soon ignite, so Qin Jue focused more on mid-air, wanting to see where the smoke was rising.

The two walked forward quickly, and sometimes there was a howl of wild boars, accompanied by a few bird chirps, and the breeze gently blew, making the leaves rustle, and the temperature at the bottom of the cliff seemed to be much cooler, perhaps because more heat was blocked by this towering tree, and it was quite interesting to walk under this green shade.

It's a pity that Qin Jue didn't have the slightest mood to appreciate the beautiful scenery, his brows kept frowning, and his mind was spinning quickly, trying to find some clues.
