Chapter 198: The Tomb Keeper of the Qinling Mountains
Tu Youming turned his head and stared at Liang Chen for a long time, and suddenly shook his head with a wry smile: "Brother Liang, you really lift me up, I will be so good, in front of the real grave keeper, it is simply a big knife in front of Guan Gongmen!
"That's right. ”
Liang Chen smiled and nodded: "However, I really hope that Brother Tu is the tomb keeper of Qinling! Because of this, I may be able to talk to you a little bit, so that there will be fewer and fewer wolves in this Qinling area!"
The fat man turned around and returned to the camp, and the camp was surrounded by a ring of fire, and the flames seemed to be the only barrier to stop the wolves in this desolate mountain wilderness.
"They seem to be unable to wait!"
Tu Youming waved his hand and took off a seemingly ordinary trouser belt from his waist, but after a closer look, there was an interlocking steel chain on it, and after glancing at the guy in his hand, Tu Youming smiled and said: "This soft whip has not been used for more than three years, it seems that it can't be avoided this time, and it must be revealed!"
"Hehe! Eighteen weapons all have their strengths, but Brother Tu chose a whip, which is very special!"
Liang Chen smiled, turned to walk up the hill quickly, glanced left and right, and saw that in the dim night, a pair of wolf eyes flashing with ferocious green glow were staring at this side, and the wolf army composed of dozens of wild wolves had begun to gradually narrow the scope of the roundup.
They are very quiet, every step out, as if even the grass on the ground has not been touched, they are very fierce, every step out, are left on the ground a deep wolf paw print, seeing this, Liang Chen and Tu Youming glanced at each other again, Tu Youming immediately turned around and approached in the other direction, and here, Liang Chen lowered his body and focused on touching this group of wild wolves.
As the saying goes, the thief captures the king first, and the reason why the wolves can make a perfect siege action in a uniform manner is because of the precise command of the wolves.
The wolf has human nature, and has super high spirituality!
Their way of living is sometimes more intelligent than that of humans. But after touching round and round, Liang Chen still didn't find the head wolf hidden in the wolf pack, I have to say that this group of wild wolves is really cunning to the extreme. Their hidden abilities are just too puzzling. However, no matter what, these wild wolves could not be allowed to stop their progress.
Since there is no way to retreat, come with real knives and real guns over there!
"Woooooooo
Who knows, just as Liang Chen was about to rush down the hillside with the tiger tooth saber, among the wolves, a thick cry of a wolf suddenly sounded, and in an instant, all the wolf army that was eyeing the tiger stopped abruptly at this moment, but their fearless eyes were still staring at Liang Chen.
However, after about three minutes of confrontation, all the wild wolves suddenly turned around, first fell apart and retreated in all directions, and soon after, they reunited on the distant mountain road and ran away.
It wasn't until the group of wild wolves completely disappeared from Liang Chen's sight that Liang Chen turned his head and saw Tu Youming not far away, also with a confused face.
"What does this mean? How...... Why did it stop all of a sudden?"
Liang Chen asked Tu Youming in astonishment.
Tu Youming frowned at a loss, thought for a moment, and said: "Perhaps, this is a warning, and besides, the eyes of those wolves obviously ate us! The reason why they turned around at the critical moment was obviously because they didn't mean to move us, but this doesn't mean that they won't encounter them again on the next journey!"
"Warning?"
Liang Chen asked again in astonishment, and then nodded silently: "Maybe this is more like a warning from the tomb keeper of the Qinling Mountains, who wants us to retreat in the face of difficulties, alas! I didn't expect that this Qinling area is really dangerous and unpredictable, and every step is a hurdle! I haven't found the shadow of the dragon vein, but I have been given a dismount, and I am afraid that we must be extremely cautious on the next road!"
"Well, since the grave keeper has noticed us and brought us such a play, it is obvious that the other party will not give up, Brother Liang, how do you want to go next?"
Tu Youming seems to have begun to retreat, and he doesn't know how to deal with the terrifying grave keeper hiding in the shadows.
"How to walk? Naturally, it is a down-to-earth walk!"
Liang Chen smiled, slowly put away the tiger tooth saber, and then said: "We are not tomb robbers, and we will not destroy the 100,000 ancient tombs hidden under the Qinling Mountains, we just want to find the legendary dragon vein. It is not easy to take this step, and at this time, no matter what the grave keeper's intentions are, it seems unlikely that he wants me to retreat!"
"Then I have to sacrifice my life to accompany the gentleman, hehe!"
Tu Youming spread his hands, and then tied the "trouser belt" back to his waist, in such a tone, obviously decided to accompany Liang Chen to continue walking.
"What's the situation? I've walked this road no less than ten times, and I've never encountered a wolf attack, how can I ...... this time? No, I have to add money, it's too dangerous, and this is my last career as a guide!"
Qu Miaomiao suddenly brought the topic to the honorarium.
But the fat man stretched out his hand and knocked on Qu Miaomiao's head: "Add you big-headed ghost! You still know that you are a guide? When we were all keeping vigil before, you slept like a pig, and it was good not to let you return the money!"
"I ...... I'm also a human being, and I shouldn't sleep at night? How can I blame me for not sleeping like you old men, who are so energetic?"
Qu Miaomiao tilted her head, and suddenly grinned and said, "Forget it, let's settle it out, okay?" Now that the wolves have retreated, we can sleep peacefully!"
I didn't wait for Qu Miaomiao to get into the carriage again, but was stopped by Liang Chen: "I can't sleep anymore, the wolves are besieging and not attacking, I'm afraid it will obstruct our trip again, and there will be more trouble, we must rush to Taibai Mountain as soon as possible! If we don't sleep tonight, we will probably be able to rush to Taibai Mountain before dark tomorrow, and then find a hotel at the bottom of the mountain to rest, and it's not too late to get a good night's sleep!"
"I agree with Brother Liang's arrangement!"
"I agree!"
"I ...... I don't agree, okay?"
Qu Miaomiao opened her hazy sleepy eyes, but when she saw the result of the three-to-one vote, she had to reluctantly accept it.
After being harassed by the wolves, everyone almost got up in spirit, never closed their eyes all night, after dawn, they began to take turns to nap, the mountain road was rugged and difficult, many areas were not favored by the road builders, and the desolate place seemed to be so desolate and uninhabited since ancient times.
It wasn't until the afternoon of the next day that everyone finally saw the huge Taibai Mountain towering between the clouds in the distance. It's just that after you really enter the mountains, you will find that those seemingly close peaks are at least one or twenty miles away if you really want to get closer.
When the sun became softer and softer, when the last trace of the afterglow of the sunset gradually fell into the mountain, Liang Chen and his party finally came to a small resting point at the foot of Taibai Mountain.
This area belongs to the construction land of the tourist area, during which there are many fast hotels and inns, adjacent to Taibai Town not far away.
At night, no one climbs up Taibai Mountain, perhaps for safety reasons, and the road into the mountain has almost been blocked. Liang Chen and his entourage found a nearby farmhouse to rest, and everyone first ate and drank a lot, and then went back to their rooms to rest. Prepare to go into the mountains early tomorrow morning to look for dragons.
Standing in front of the window of the nearest room near Taibai Mountain, Liang Chen quietly stared at this huge peak, which was still two or three miles away from the foot of the mountain, but the mountain peak was majestic and tall, as if it was close at hand.
"Liang Zi, I really don't understand how you decided that the Imperial Dragon Vein came from this Taibai Mountain?"
The fat man took a bunch of cold beer, opened his mouth and poured a large sum, and then looked at Liang Chen puzzled.
"Qinling Hengduan Mountain, the mystery of this poem, I am afraid is the word Hengduan, originally in this Qinling Mountains, there is no Hengduan Mountain, so I expect that the meaning of this Hengduan is a metaphor. ”
Liang Chen said lightly: "You take a closer look at this Taibai Mountain, can you see something?"
"Well, no matter how you look at it, isn't it a mountain? What does this have to do with the word crossing?"
The fat man shook his head in bewilderment.
"Take a closer look!"
Liang Chen frowned, but seeing that the fat man still couldn't see why, he had to sigh lightly and explained: "This Taibai Mountain is the main peak of the Qinling Mountain Range, if you look at it from a distance, it looks like an Optimus Prime straight into the sky, but since the mystery is on the word traverse, you might as well look at it from a different angle, Taibai Mountain looks over, can you still see all the peaks behind Taibai Mountain?"
"Oh...... Not to mention, really!"
The fat man hurriedly tilted his head, looked along the main trunk of the peak of Taibai Mountain, and immediately nodded heavily: "Taibai Mountain is the highest peak, so no matter what mountains are behind it, it is as if it does not exist! In other words, this Taibai Mountain seems to have cut the Qinling Mountains horizontally! Liang Zi, I really admire you so much, you can crack such a difficult mystery!"
"Hehe! What's the use of just seeing such a mystery?"
Liang Chen smiled bitterly, and then said: "I still can't figure out what the second sentence 'see dusk the next day' means, and if I make the first mistake in my calculation, then every step after that will be wrong, even a big mistake." After all, this is looking for the Imperial Dragon Vein, and the mystery in it is not something that ordinary people can crack, whether I can get lucky enough to find the right answer is still an unknown!"
