Chapter 137: Guanshan Treasure Map II

readx;? The ancient temple had been abandoned for many years, and the main hall had long since collapsed, so John had to arrange six of his men to guard the perimeter, and the rest of the people cleaned up the ruins of the main hall. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Song Zhiming was so strange that he was stunned and arranged for someone to take a vacation outside the ancient temple and set up a few reclining chairs and sun umbrellas, and he himself sat on them and called!

You don't have to think about it to know that it must be a business phone.

Wang Letian resolutely refused to sit on the row of recliners stupidly, pulling Wu Bing and Xu Mu to stand in the corner of the ruins, curiously watching the clean-up work of the group of mercenaries.

Holding a white copper compass, the Taoist walked around the ancient temple, stopping from time to time to look at the direction on the compass.

Xu Mu followed Wang Letian and looked at them for a while, and felt bored, so he walked to the side, standing in the courtyard with withered grass and looking around. Although the area of this ancient temple is not large, it is a typical central axis pattern, and you can vaguely see the original appearance in the ruins.

Not far away, Feng Yuan brushed aside the withered grass and squatted down next to a forty-centimeter-high stone carving. Xu Mu jumped around like a squirrel among the broken walls and rubble, and walked a few steps to the broken pillar beside Feng Yuan, and went with him to see the blue-gray stone.

The stone is divided into two layers, the upper layer is carved with two layers of lotus petals, the petals are very strange and scattered downwards, and the tip of the petal is slightly upwardly curled into a graceful arc. In the middle of the lotus flower, there is also a round hole full of dust. The lower layer is a hexagonal surface, with a height of only 156 centimeters, carved with lions, unicorns, hedgehogs, elephants and other wild beasts.

"Why is this lotus flower downward?" Xu Mu searched his memory bank as he searched hard.

"This is called the Top-Petal Lotus," Feng Yuan stretched out his hand to wipe off the floating ash on the hexagonal surface, and carefully looked at the pair of lions facing each other for a few seconds, "It should not be the base of the pillar, but the pedestal of a certain Buddha statue,"

The courier brother who was squatting on the broken pillar supported his chin with his hand, "This lion who listens to the scriptures and protects the Dharma has a dignified appearance, is it from the Northern and Southern Dynasties or the Tang Dynasty?" The lions of the Qing Dynasty were generally more folklore.

However, according to the teapot, the person who painted the treasure map of Guanshan should be a figure from the late Ming Dynasty, and the things in this temple should not be so early?

"Dignified, that's called piety!" Feng Yuan stretched out his hand and scraped Xu Mu's nose, and a black and gray mark was immediately left on the tip of his white and tender nose.

"Anyway, I think it's pretty dignified. Xu Mu pursed his lips and looked unrepentant.

Feng Yuan glanced at his cat-like face, pulled out a wet tissue from the outer pocket of his backpack, and wiped his hands slowly.

"It's dirty!" The courier brother looked at the black tissue in Feng Yuan's hand with disgust, and after half a second, he jumped up violently, "Your hands are so dirty, you rubbed it on my face just now!"

The head of the house calmly took out another wet tissue and handed it to him, "I thought you cherished it and wanted to keep it for the New Year." ”

Xu Mu: ..................

The mercenaries were very fast, and after forty minutes, the right half of the hall was cleared. After digging less than half a meter under the stone brick under the second pillar in the northeast corner, a square stone door with twig patterns appeared in relief.

Six mercenaries used crowbars and ropes to pull open the stone door carved out of stone, revealing a cold and gloomy hole, and an indescribable smell mixed with heavy dampness came to the face.

Everyone consciously took a few steps back, and as soon as Wang Letian saw the deep hole, the muscles on his body were tense, and Song Zhiming dragged him back quickly.

Feng Yuan patted Wang Letian on the shoulder, "Take it easy, you can definitely do it." ”

The cave in Huangshan left an indelible shadow on Wang Letian's heart, and the real purpose of his visit this time should actually be to overcome his fear.

Wang Dashao shrugged his shoulders uncomfortably and gave Feng Yuan a wry smile back.

Xu Mu and Wu Bing couldn't suppress their excitement, pinched their noses and looked down at the flashlight light that the mercenaries had hit, and the zigzag steps with an inclination of thirty degrees spread down at least twenty or thirty meters one after another. However, looking at the material, it looks like wood, and there are already many signs of decay.

The courier brother sighed quietly, it is estimated that those rich and wealthy gentry did not expect that the things they left behind would be buried for more than four hundred years in a blink of an eye.

They were about to move forward again, when Feng Yuan and Song Zhiming dragged the two of them back one by one, carrying the back collar.

John gestured behind him, and a mercenary dangled down with a microphone-like object, and after a while he dragged it up, and the mercenary lowered his eyelids to look at the values on it, and nodded at John.

"Song, there's no big problem with the air inside, we can go down. John turned to Song Zhiming.

"Mr. Song, wait a minute. Liao Chen took a step forward, took out a two-inch piece of yellow paper from his blanket, and cautiously flicked his fingers into the hole.

With the lines on it, Xu Mu recognized that it was a yin qi talisman. When this talisman encounters an abnormal aura such as yin qi, it will burn. This is the easiest way to detect ghosts, and of course, it is only effective for ordinary ghosts. When it comes to black and white impermanence, it may not be easy.

John folded his arms, and the circle of mercenaries behind him shrugged their shoulders, all with disapproving expressions.

The yellow paper fluttered down and finally disappeared into the darkness. Only then did Liao Chen say to Song Zhiming, "Mr. Song, there is no problem at the bottom." ”

Seeing Song Zhiming nodding, John waved his hand and let the five mercenaries behind him hang down with ropes to explore the way. After receiving the safety signal from the mercenaries who landed, John threw down the rope ladder and led the second team down.

Vic deliberately stayed by Xu Mu's side, secretly paying attention to his safety on the rope ladder. The courier brother was busy fighting with the soft rope ladder, and he didn't notice it at all, but Feng Yuan keenly raised his eyebrows and glanced at Vic.

Vic generously spread out his hand and lip-synced at Feng Yuan, "Fair competition." ”

Feng Yuan snorted coldly, stretched out his arm to hook the courier brother's waist, "I'll take you down." ”

Without waiting for Xu Mu to react, he hugged Xu Mu and fell down the hanging rope like a meteor, leaving Vic with a look of "you won't have a chance to shoot at all".

Vic:..................

Xu Mu, who was attacked by weightlessness, almost screamed in shame, and hurriedly hugged Feng Yuan like an octopus, Ma Dan, and went to the amusement park in the future, and definitely didn't play any jumping machines!

Four of John's men stayed in the camp, four stayed on the ground to guard, and the remaining twenty-four people were divided into two teams after landing, protecting Song Zhiming and Xu Mu and them.

Wang Letian's face was very bad, and his breathing became heavy. Song Zhiming stood beside him and silently stuffed a piece of chocolate into his hand.

"Are you still three years old when I am now?" Wang Letian glanced at Song Zhiming angrily, and viciously tore open the wrapping paper and wiped out the chocolate.

Xu Mu: ..................

Wang Dashao's nerves, which had been soothed by sweets, miraculously relaxed a lot.

The temperature was a little low, and Xu Mu turned on his flashlight and walked along the narrow passage for a few minutes before his ears were red from the cold. He took out two beanies from Feng Yuan's backpack, Feng Yuan definitely didn't need them, the courier brother put one on his head, and handed the other to Wu Bing. The little fox's humanoid state has no hair, so it should be very afraid of the cold, right?

"It's ugly. Wu Bing looked at the woolen hat that was as yellow as chicken fluff with disgust, and finally folded the brim of the hat and put it on.

Ten minutes later, a deep underground river appeared in front of everyone, and there was a bare stone bridge on the river, which was about 20 centimeters above the water. The rushing river flowed and splashed on the pillars.

The deck of the stone bridge is so narrow that it is barely enough for adults to stand on their heels, and the stones are covered with a thick layer of moss under the long-term water vapor soaking.

Xu Mu wrinkled his nose, he finally knew where the moisture just now came from.

Wang Letian had just taken two steps, his feet slipped, and he was about to be planted in the river. Song Zhiming, who was walking in front of him, grabbed his wrist as if he had eyes behind him, and dragged the person back.

"Hold on to me. Song Zhiming held his arm steadily.

Wang Letian wrinkled his nose in shame, with an embarrassed face, "I just rented this leg this morning, and I am not familiar with it".

Xu Mu, who was standing on the shore, was speechless, it was not a pleasant experience to fall into the water at this temperature.

"Children, watch carefully, and be careful when you cross the bridge later. Yesterday's inch head stepped on the bridge with one foot, and his ridiculous elongated tone at Xu Mu attracted a strange chuckle next to him.

Xu Mu pouted, you better be careful yourself, the master now has a trick to avoid water, and he is not afraid of water at all!

When he walked to the center of the stone bridge, a huge wave suddenly surged under the bridge, covering the bridge deck. The head and feet were in a mess, and they slapped directly into the icy underground river, stirring up waves more than one person high. The people behind him also panicked, and a few seconds later, several more were planted in the river, and in the blink of an eye, they were swept out a few meters away.

Several mercenaries hurriedly threw out the chains and dragged them to the shore.

"Zhou, do you want to go down and take a cold shower?" shouted someone on the other side, and the mercenaries on both sides of the strait burst into laughter. It's okay to protect the target, but it's humiliating for you to fall.

"Damn!" the pale face of the river water was frozen by the river, and he stroked his hair vigorously and scolded loudly.

Xu Mu stepped off the stone bridge steadily, aiming at the group of chicken-like guys, without exception, they all seemed to be the guys who had been stepped on by their husbands yesterday.

Water filth!

The courier brother's heart flashed with these two big words.

The little white cat jumped off the stone bridge with a light step, and walked proudly past the group of shivering creatures with its tail cocked. Hmph, small punishment and big commandment!

The road was much wider, and after more than half an hour, everyone was stopped by a tall and wide stone gate.

The stone gate is a gate stone type, about five or six meters high, carved from a single boulder, perfectly embedded in the stone wall, and there are many fist-sized door nails on the door panel.

There are two stone beasts on both sides of the stone gate, the body of the beast is three or four meters high, the eyebrows are horizontal, the tiger body has nine human faces, and the claws and fangs are carved vividly, as if the next moment, it will rush down the stone platform and tear people apart. Many people were suppressed by these two fierce gods and vicious stone beasts.

Feng Yuan lowered his eyes thoughtfully, Xu Mu stared at the stone beast and was stunned, carving ...... Much like the Enlightened Beast.

"Don't be afraid, they're just fake, they won't come back to life. Vic walked up to him and said gently.

Xu Mu blinked at Vic in surprise, then shook his head, "No, I'm not afraid. ”

Even if I live, I'm not afraid, I'm friends with the Enlightened Beasts.

However, his words seemed to be reckless in Vic's eyes. The other party smiled, his expression was clearly disbelief, but he didn't say anything more in order to maintain his self-esteem and thoughtfulness.

Xu Mu: ..................

At this time, Song Zhiming had already found the door opening mechanism according to the mark on the map, and after he pressed a certain door nail, the stone door made a rumbling sound and slowly rose up in the dust.

In the light of the flashlight, a spacious bluestone avenue appeared in front of everyone. Each stone slab is about 60 centimeters square, and is occasionally carved with a dragon pattern.

With a wave of his hand, the two mercenaries in charge of clearing the way stepped over the threshold and walked in.

"Let them stop before the sixth row of bricks. Song Zhiming looked at the treasure map and spoke, there was a mechanism between the sixth and twelfth rows.

John immediately relayed this to the two mercenaries.

"Third left, second right, fourth left, third right, third right, second left. Song Zhiming concisely read out the safe path.

The air in the cave was tense and oppressive. The two mercenaries tensed their nerves and cautiously walked forward as instructed, when suddenly, the man walking behind stepped on the raised markings. He swayed, and although he steadied himself, the short machine/gun on his backpack slid down.

The "whoosh" machine gun smashed into the stone slab next to it, and the slate suddenly flipped over, raining down rows of arrows. The mercenary next to him subconsciously jumped to the side to dodge, but once again touched other mechanisms.

A puff of green smoke "snorted" out, and two rows of long/spears were inserted horizontally on both sides of the stone road, and the guns/heads flashed with cold light, and they poked at the two mercenaries, and they were about to be tied into hedgehogs.

The mercenary who had first knocked out the machine gun had a look of despair in his eyes.

"Hold your breath!" "Hold your breath!" A frightening figure swept towards him, picking up one of the guys and throwing it out, and then turning over and kicking the platoon leader/gun on the left.

His toes were a little on the barrel of the gun, and his waist drew an elegant arc in the air, and he landed in the safety area of the thirteenth row in a dashing manner, it was Feng Yuan.

One of the two mercenaries who survived the catastrophe was lying on the floor not far away with his arms crossed, and the other stared at the barrel of the gun that was still trembling less than half a meter from his waist, his back stiffened, and he gasped for breath.

The mercenaries in front of the door were all stunned, staring at Feng Yuan, hell, could it be that weak chicken who saved Charlie and Wei?

Impossible, right?

How did he do it?

Cuntou clenched his fists, his teeth chattering, "I don't believe it, this kid must be cheating." ”

Fu Zhu tilted his head and glanced at him, fool, let's go!

Vic bumped into the bald head next to him, "I'm dazzled, isn't I?"

The bald head smiled awkwardly and scratched the back of his neck, "I seem to be dazzled too." "Delusion, delusion for sure. Those mechanisms must have been out of use for a long time because of their age.

The mercenary holding his arm was poisoned by the gas, and John and the other mercenary had to help him treat his wounds urgently.

When Xu Mu passed through the stone road, Feng Yuan was looking at it with a solemn expression carrying a half-section of the gun.

"What's wrong?" the courier brother habitually came to his side, and Song Zhiming and Wang Letian also walked over together.

Feng Yuan raised the cut of the gun in front of Xu Mu, "Do you recognize it?"

The fracture of the barrel of the gun seemed to have several layers, and the flowers were slightly disappointing outward.

The courier boy shook his head, he had a conflict with the guy in the weapons shop, and he learned the least about weapons.

Feng Yuan stretched out his hand to remove the outer layer of patent leather and showed it to Xu Mu and Song Zhiming, "This technique is called Jizhu Muqi (pronounced the same as Bi), there are a total of five layers from the inner layer of wooden poles to the outer layer of lacquer, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive to do. Would a man in a hurry to hide a treasure ask a craftsman to use something so complicated in a mechanism?"
