Looking at this rune-like ancient Xia script, Li Mingyu frowned, he could still understand the general meaning.

There are not many runes, about two or three hundred, and the format is similar to the poetry style of the ancient Xia script. The general meaning of the content is that God (Haotian God) is the embodiment of the Tao, representing the will of the world, and all things are equal in his eyes, whether they are human beings, animals and plants (heaven and earth are unkind, and all things are dogs), and you swear with blood and oaths under the gaze of God, keep your oaths, never flinch and betray, until the strength of life, and those who violate the oath will not be tolerated by heaven and earth...... Wait a minute!

The text in the blank space below is written by Chu Wenxin, about the content of the oath between Li Mingyu and the two brothers Zhou Wen and Zhou Wu. Apparently Zhou Wen wrote it before he was ready to trade with Li Mingyu. In the oath, the price to be paid by Zhou Wen and the labor to be paid by Li Mingyu were written lightly, and what made him more satisfied was that it was written that the price paid by the two brothers Zhou Wen and Zhou Wu was much more than Li Mingyu's payment.

"I'm not mistaken, this should be the God Blood Deed used by monks to form alliances with each other in the ancient Xia era, it should not be very precious in the ancient Xia era, but after four or five thousand years after the flood of the last days, it should be an extremely rare treasure, that is, there may still be one or two copies in those great families. I think you only have this blood pact on you, but before you come, how do you know that I will definitely agree to the transaction, if I refuse, such a treasure as the God Blood Pact will not be wasted. Li Mingyu frowned and said puzzled.

Zhou Wen smiled bitterly and said: "How can I be sure that you will definitely agree, but I am also desperate except for you." And whether you believe it or not, I had a gut feeling before I came that you would agree to it nine times out of ten. ”

Li Mingyu hesitated, but still bit his finger and wrote his name below the names of the Zhou brothers. The moment he had just written his name on the contract, the words on the God's blood contract came to life, as if they were walking on the animal skin like tadpoles, and then the blood flashed, and the words on the deed were gone.

Li Mingyu was taken aback by such a surprising method, and then he found that the qi was different from before, some of the same, faintly the qi of him, Zhou Wen and Zhou Wu, and the two brothers were connected together.

Zhou Wen saw that Li Mingyu signed the deed, and his heart was relieved, and he showed a faint smile and said: "After signing the blood contract, the fate of the three of us is related, knowing that the contract is reached, the blood contract will automatically lose its validity, or one of the three of us will die, and the contract will be counterattacked, as for the fate of the blood contract, I haven't seen it, but it's ......." Speaking of this, his smile gradually faded, and instead showed a hint of coldness, and pulled off a pair of his right arm.

"Hiss!" Zhou Wu looked at his brother's arm, the pupils in his eyes contracted, and he hissed deeply, revealing a look of fear.

Li Mingyu couldn't help but stare at him, and a chill of anger felt in his heart.

It turned out that on the dark skin of Zhou Wen's arm, at this time, he was dissatisfied with the same runes as blood red, looking hideous and terrifying, as if a blood-colored poisonous snake was entrenched on his right arm.

"This is an oath blood curse, all three of us have it, as long as the content of the contract is not reached, this blood curse will remain on the body and cannot be unbroken, and once one of the three of us dies, the blood curse on the other two will be eaten at the same time, as for the end, it is estimated that life is better than death!" Zhou Wen said coldly.

Li Mingyu's expression remained unchanged on the surface when he heard this, but he secretly felt cold in his heart, and he couldn't help but regret it a little, he didn't expect that this God's blood contract was so vicious in binding on the oath-taker. He still tried his best to suppress the negative emotions of regret, now it is too late to regret, the blood contract has been signed, and the only way to get rid of the constraints of the blood curse is to kill Xiao Zhuoyan as soon as possible.

As for using other methods to evade or transfer the blood curse, Li Mingyu also thought about it, but if this divine blood contract could be solved so easily, the monks of the ancient Xia period would not use it to make an oath.

Li Mingyu said lightly: "Okay, the blood contract has been signed, according to what you said, how can the three of them, at least before the blood contract is dissolved, it can also be said that they live and die together, hurry up and take out the elixir and the price you need to pay." ”

"I concealed the content of the blood curse in the blood contract, don't you think I cheated, so you really don't get angry?"

Li Mingyu shook his head, "Complain about you, why complain about you, people are selfish, of course you will hide the beneficial side of the blood contract." Besides, I promised to trade with you, and even signed a blood contract, didn't I promise to help you kill Xiao Zhuoyan. If this operation fails, all three of us will die, and one more blood curse is nothing. ”

Zhou Wen looked at Li Mingyu deeply, as if he had only met him for the first time, and said solemnly: "Brother Li is really a believer, it seems that our brother is still a gentleman with the heart of a villain." ”

"But we didn't take the elixir and another treasure that I promised you, how could we carry such a thing with us, but put it in a hidden place. Zhou Wen shook his head and said.

"I didn't bring it with me, I hid it in a secret place, it won't be in the territory of Dachu!" Li Mingyu frowned, and said to the two of them dissatisfied.

Zhou Wen smiled bitterly and said: "How is it possible, the thing is hidden on Funiu Mountain, but although Funiu Mountain is not big, without the guidance of the two of us, you can't find it if you dig three feet into the ground." ”

After a pause, he continued, "Since you have signed the blood contract, then we will take you to get the treasure now!"

Li Mingyu waved his hand and said: "It's too late to get the treasure, the reason why the two of you came to Dachu, especially Qinghe County, which is close to the East China Sea, is because when Xiao Zhuoyan went to Cihang Jianzhai to welcome his relatives, he would also pass by Qinghe County." You two brothers came to Qinghe County early to prepare in advance, so that you can find a good place and time to ambush and kill each other, right? ”

Zhou Wen and Zhou Wu showed a look of surprise, first, they didn't expect Li Mingyu to be so calm, and he was still so calm and steady when he saw that the elixir and treasures were about to arrive. The second is that he didn't expect his mind to be so meticulous, and it was inferred through clues that the two brothers came to Qinghe County to ambush and attack Xiao Zhuoyan.

The two brothers glanced at each other, nodded, and then Zhou Wen said: "That's right, since you have signed the blood contract, we are already people in the same boat, so there is nothing to hide." Cihang Jianzhai's gate station is on Cihang Mountain, one of the seven overseas immortal mountains in the East and the South.

Cihang Xianshan, far away from the mainland, if you want to arrive, you have to take a huge sea ship to cross the sea. And the only port in Chu State where there is a huge sea boat to go to sea is Fubo Port in Donghai County. However, if Xiao Zhuoyan wants to start from Jianmen County to reach Donghai County, no matter which route he takes, he must pass through Qinghe County. ”

After listening to the words of the two brothers Zhou Wen and Zhou Wu, Li Mingyu showed a thoughtful expression, thought for a while, and said, "You want to ambush each other in the first-line gorge!"

Zhou Wen and Zhou Wu both showed surprise at the same time, obviously Li Mingyu guessed correctly again.

Li Mingyu shook his head and explained: "There is nothing rare about this, from Qinghe County to Donghai County, the nearest road is the one in the first line of gorges. Although the marriage with Cihang Jianzhai has become a fact, but just in case, if there are any changes and twists and turns, Xiao Zhuoyan will definitely hurry up when he greets his relatives, and there is a shortcut road in the first line of gorges, how can he be willing to take one or two times the time to detour the long way!"

Zhou Wen, Zhou Wu, thinking about what they thought before, it was even more impossible to think of it with Li Mingyu's delicate mind, so they all nodded.

Zhou Wen thought for a while and said, "Brother Li, it has been less than ten days since Xiao Zhuoyan arrived, in such a short period of time, is there enough confidence to feel the sense of qi?" ”

Li Mingyu pondered for a moment before he spoke: "I don't dare to be able to feel the sense of qi in such a short period of time, in short, let's do our best, if we can't do it with the elixir, we can only say that the three of us should die." ”

Zhou Wen, Zhou Wu, the two of them didn't know what Li Mingyu was talking about, and they also sighed at the same time and said, "It's only like this!"

……

Funiu Mountain is composed of more than a dozen small hills, the high one is seven or eight hundred meters, and the short one is only two or three hundred meters.

However, the mountain is not high, there is a fairy name, it should not be said that the grass and trees are prosperous, lush, although there are no tall trees and ancient trees, but there are still a lot of ordinary trees, plus there are a lot of hazelnuts, mushrooms, fungus and other wild foods and cherished herbs in the mountains, as well as all kinds of hares, pheasants, roe deer, irrigation and other game, so there are still a lot of medicine pickers and tiger hunters, into the mountains to collect medicine or hunt.

It's just that recently, the mountain people, hunters and medicine pickers near Funiu Mountain, but few of them dare to enter the mountain, because not long ago, a group of strongmen who fell out of nowhere occupied the long-abandoned cottage on the mountain, and the nearby mountain people could hear the shouts (sounds made during exercises) in the cottage from a distance, and the mountain people were even more afraid.

In the back mountain of Funiu Mountain, there is a mountain cave, and the nearby mountain people call it the Funiu Cave, and when the mountaineers and hunters and medicine pickers enter the mountain, they all like to take shelter from the rain in the Funiu Cave, or spend the night. However, because of the fear of the strongmen in the barberry village, there are very few hunters, medicine pickers and mountain people who dare to enter the mountain, so there have been no visitors to the barberry cave for a long time.

But today, three more people are here.

One of them is a mysterious man wearing a black mask with only one pair of eyes exposed, and the other two are two young men who look very similar.

That's right, these three people are Li Mingyu, as well as Zhou Wen and Zhou Wu.

Looking at the low cave in front of him, which would not exceed the height of a ten-year-old boy, Li Mingyu couldn't help but pull his lips, revealing a puzzled look, "This is the Barberry Cave? You hid the elixir and treasures in this cave!"

He looked at the front of the cave again, the chaotic footsteps and the imprints of various beasts, "This cave is not a hidden place, not to mention those hunters who come into the mountain, mountain people who collect medicine and other passers-by, even small beasts should be frequented!"

The implication is very obvious, this barberry hole is really safe.

Zhou Wen said with a smile: "Brother Li, you can rest assured, the more dangerous the place, the safer it is, because of this, there are often people here, and they are very familiar with this cave, so it is even more unthinkable that someone dares to hide the treasure in this broken cave." As long as this cave is not turned upside down, even if the other party knows the existence of the treasure, it will not be able to find it, not to mention who would have thought of it!"

After speaking, he looked at Li Mingyu with meaningful eyes. The look in his eyes was clearly saying, aren't you a lover who is also very surprised and didn't expect it?

Although the entrance of the Funiu Cave is very low, but after the three of them bent down and walked for a while, it suddenly became wider, and the inside of the cave was at least the size of two ordinary rooms, and the height was more than three meters.

In the cave, there is a pair of firewood ash in the middle position, as well as a lot of dry firewood, and hay spread on the ground, which should be left by the hunters and the mountain people who collected medicine in the cave overnight, used to make fire, used for overnight, and there are still a lot of beast feces left in the corners of the surrounding walls, obviously in addition to people think, there are wild beasts here from time to time to spend the night.

Fortunately, the environment in the cave is very dry, and there should be a vent, so the air can be exchanged and circulated with the outside world, so although it has a little peculiar smell, fortunately, the smell is not very strong.

Li Mingyu briefly inspected the cave, although the interior of this cave is not small, but it is very empty, there is no place to cover, not to mention, there are not many sundries, and I really haven't found any pieces that can hide things.

He set his eyes on the two brothers, Zhou Wen and Zhou Wu, and signaled that it was time for the two of them to make a move.

Zhou Wen and Zhou Wu glanced at each other, Zhou Wen stepped forward and came to the place where the hay was placed, which was used by the mountain people and passers-by to rest, Zhou Wen picked up the hay, revealing the sandy and damp ground, which looked little different from the surrounding land. After that, he took the shovel from Zhou Wu's hand, dug it up quickly, and dug it to a depth of one meter, which should have dug into the sand and gravel layer, and sand and pebbles began to appear. After Zhou Wu cleared out all the stones little by little, Li Mingyu couldn't help but stare at it, and a black cloth was actually exposed underneath, and after cleaning up the pictures pressed on it, it was really the same as Li Mingyu thought, it was a black cloth package.

Li Mingyu didn't expect that the Zhou brothers would really hide things this week, and after digging a pit and hiding the package, not only the soil layer above was restored as the surroundings, but even the sand and stone layer below was restored like the natural one.

In this way, ordinary people know that the treasure is hidden in the cave, and it is difficult to find it unless the cave is dug up.
