The old man surnamed Ding entered the house alone, and after making Sanqing and the others wait for nearly half an hour, he finally came out of the house, and then handed a yellowed piece of paper to Sanqing.

Sanqing took the paper, thinking that it was just a rough road map drawn by the old man, but when he saw the map drawn on the paper, he couldn't help but be startled. I saw that the palm-sized piece of paper was densely filled with things, and the whole map was vivid, not only the route to Jinjiling and the mountains, rivers and villages along the way, but also the names one by one, and even the specific distance between the various places was clearly marked. This is simply a strategic map.

"When I was young, I fought devils, and I was specifically responsible for pathfinding and drawing maps, so I got used to it. The old man saw Sanqing's doubts, so he took the initiative to explain.

"It's hard work!" Sanqing hurriedly thanked him, and he also admired this old man in addition to thanking him.

"Okay, there is no need to say polite words, hurry up and get on the road, it is late and you can't come back before dark, and I have recently heard that there are things on the mountain that are not visible at night to scare people!" said the old man with a wave of his hand.

So, Sanqing and his party set off on the road. Lin Yangming took the initiative to choose to stay, he sincerely wanted to stay and accompany this old man more. In this way, Soul Haoxuan naturally became the new driver, he came to the truck that had unloaded things, pulled Sanqing and Lin Danhong, who refused to stay, out of the village, and went all the way west according to the map. Every mountain and river encountered along the way, as well as the location of the villages and the roads between them, were exactly the same as those marked on the hand-drawn map.

As indicated on the map, after driving through eleven villages of various sizes, they came onto a winding path that was narrow enough to barely fit a car, and after another twelve or thirteen miles, there was no road but the endless mountains.

At this point, the three of them abandoned the car and walked up the mountain, and then they did not know how many mountains they had climbed, and a mountain appeared in front of them, only half of the mountain to be exact.

"You see, that mountain, as if it has been cut off by someone, hey, no, it can't be Jinji Ridge! It has really been dug up!" Lin Danhong, who was the first to discover this scene, pointed to the mountain and said with a look of surprise.

When Sanqing heard this, he immediately looked in the direction she was pointing, and when he saw the mountain that had been more than half cut off, he frowned, and then said with a smile: "It seems that the old man is right, this mountain is going to be dug into the ground." It's just a pity that they should have dug in the wrong place!"

"According to what is marked on the map, the real Jinji Ridge is not here, but about five miles to the west! However, their spirit of moving mountains is still worthy of admiration!" After seeing the mountain, Soul Haoxuan suddenly ran out and said with a slight mockery.

"It turned out to be an impostor, but this mountain is also pitiful, and it was made a scapegoat for no reason, and it was dug up like this. When she saw this mountain, Lin Danhong's heart was actually extremely worried, she was worried that this mountain was really the Jinji Ridge, and she was worried that there was no golden rooster in the Jinji Ridge or that it had been dug up. After listening to Soul Haoxuan's words, she was instantly relieved, smiled again, and made a joke.

"Well, if Grandpa Ding is right, then this mountain is an impostor, and now we can't control it, let's go to the main owner first!" Sanqing interrupted her and said sternly, no one raised any objections, so they continued to follow the route on the map, bypassing the "headless mountain" and walking west for another five miles.

By this time they had walked into a dense forest, a place where no one cared. All kinds of tall trees shade the sky and the sun, and the only feeling of walking in this forest is cold. So much so that Lin Danhong could only curl up and slowly follow behind Sanqing and Soul Haoxuan. Sanqing and Soul Haoxuan were afraid that she would lose it, so they slowed down without a trace.

"It's the place!" the three of them finally reached the end of the map, and Sanqing stepped down, whispered, and then began to look around.

Within a radius of about a mile, the trees are sparse and strangely shaped, each one like a stunted child, and even though it is still the height of summer, they are full of withered yellow leaves. And it was surprisingly quiet, without the slightest hint of insects and birds in the woods. It felt a bit like the haunted town before, but when Sanqing closed his eyes, he felt a vigorous vitality, not the lifelessness and monstrous resentment of the town.

"Is there something wrong? I think it's weird here!" Soul Haoxuan said as he glanced around.

Sanqing shook his head, walked to a big tree that was bent like a bow and arrow, and said: "Maybe there is a golden rooster buried underneath, and the golden rooster is dead but not stiff, absorbing the nutrients that belong to the trees, so these trees have grown like this!"

Soul Haoxuan lowered his head and thought about it, and felt that it seemed to make some sense, so he stopped talking.

However, after Lin Danhong listened to Sanqing's words, he immediately walked to Sanqing's side, stomped his feet lightly, and then asked, "Are you making it up?"

"You've found out!" Sanqing raised his eyebrows and stuck out his tongue.

"I knew it!" Lin Danhong said proudly.

Soul Haoxuan on the side was pale, secretly complaining, and even began to doubt his IQ, he actually believed it!

"However, if nothing else, the golden rooster is really under this tree!" Sanqing suddenly said in a deep voice, and successfully attracted Lin Danhong's attention.

"Then what are you waiting for, quick, dig it out, dig it out and we'll get rich!" Lin Danhong said excitedly with an impatient expression.

"I'm afraid it's not that easy, first of all, we didn't bring tools, don't look at me, I didn't bring a sword, and I can't dig by hand!" At this time, Soul Haoxuan also walked over, and said faintly.

"It's useless to bring tools, I'm afraid this thing can't be used to dig!" Sanqing said mysteriously.

"Can't dig it, then what should we do, we can't wait for the rabbit to come out on its own!" Lin Danhong said in frustration.

"Mountain people have their own tricks!" said Sanqing with a slight smile.

"It's almost the same as pretending to be a ghost?" Soul Haoxuan scoffed at Sanqing's behavior.

"What, don't accept it, don't accept you!" Sanqing immediately responded.

&n

bsp;“ Okay, okay, you two enemies, can you stop first, get the golden rooster out first, and you can fight it!" Seeing Sanqing and Soul Haoxuan arguing, Lin Danhong hurriedly ran to the middle of the two to make peace.

"Hmph!" Soul Haoxuan snorted coldly, then walked to the side and leaned against a dead tree. But just as he was steady, the tree broke away from the position where Soul Haoxuan was leaning with a "click", and then smashed to the ground and turned into powder.

Soul Haoxuan's center of gravity was unstable for a while, and he sat on the ground, which made Lin Danhong, who was still full of stern sù play a peacemaker a second ago, immediately blossomed.

But Sanqing and Soul Haoxuan both frowned in unison
