Zhou Yanbo ran all the way to the Bamboo Valley, and according to Zhou Ji's guidance, Zhou Yanbo searched all the way to the southwest. "Bamboo Valley, the most peculiar place in the Bamboo Forest Mountain, where even the wind cannot enter due to the closed terrain, so that the valley is shrouded in fog almost all year round, and the temperature hardly changes.www.biquge.info However, there are always fixed days of the year when the temperature in the valley drops suddenly and the fog dissipates, but the reason is unknown. Zhou Yanbo was thinking about everything Zhou Ji had told him about Bamboo Valley.

"Generally speaking, people on the mountain will wait until those two or three days to enter the valley, but the people of the Zhou family have to go almost every month, how do they do it?" Zhou Yanbo couldn't help but wonder.

"Well, this little guy is finally going to Bamboo Valley, how can that place come and go casually?" Not far behind Zhou Yanbo, a black shadow was quietly following.

"The distance between the Zhou family manor and the bamboo valley is too large, and because of the obstruction of the terrain, there should be no tunnels, so ...... Could there be any mechanism at the edge of the valley?" Zhou Yanbo thought, he believed that the Zhou family, who could fill the manor with organs, would be very simple to build a mechanism at the edge of the valley.

"Hmm, why did the direction change, what the hell is this little guy doing?" Seeing Zhou Yanbo's sudden change of direction, the black shadow couldn't help but wonder in his heart.

Zhou Yanbo went around the valley and didn't find any organs. "It's not normal, why is there no mechanism, could it be that the Zhou family really went in in the dark?" Zhou Yanbo looked at Taniguchi and became anxious. "Forget it, it's not too early today, let's take a look tomorrow. ”

In the evening, Zhou Yanbo built a fire, sat quietly in front of the bonfire, closed his eyes, and carefully recalled the events of the past two days: the beginning of the test, the duel with Hong and Su Hu and others, the people on the mountain, Zhou Ji's narrative, the gathering place, and the bamboo valley...... Zhou Yanbo carefully recalled everything. Suddenly, Zhou Yanbo opened his eyes and muttered, "Is that so?"

The next day, Zhou Yanbo came to the mouth of the valley and sat there, motionless.

"It seems that this little guy seems to know how to enter the valley, and it is not in vain that he ran around the valley yesterday. The black shadow looked at Zhou Yanbo and said with a smile.

Zhou Yanbo had been sitting at the mouth of the valley, and at noon, Zhou Yanbo stood up and walked towards the valley. At first, there was a thick fog around and it was almost impossible to see, but after walking for nearly an hour, the fog gradually cleared and the surroundings suddenly became brighter. Sure enough, the Zhou family set out from the manor in the morning, entered the valley at noon, went out of the valley at noon the next day, and returned to the manor at night. It is precisely because of the peculiar and complex topography of this valley. The valley is wide on both sides and extremely narrow in the middle, allowing only one person to pass sideways, and the other side is the wind outlet, but the terrain makes it possible for the wind to hover only in the back valley, and there is no trace of wind in the front valley. At noon, both the wind and the fog will weaken, which is suitable for entering the valley. Every autumn and winter, the temperature drops suddenly, making the wind stronger, blowing away the fog in the front valley, so the mountain people take advantage of those days to enter the valley. ”

Zhou Yanbo relied on the sound of the wind to find the connection between the front valley and the back valley, and after passing sideways, he was greeted by a fierce wind, which almost made Zhou Yanbo fall. "It's such a fierce wind" Zhou Yanbo could barely breathe, and he hurriedly walked towards the valley.

"Strange, where is it?" Zhou Yanbo almost searched the back valley, but he didn't find it. When Zhou Yanbo was about to be deflated, he suddenly heard a "boom", Zhou Yanbo walked towards the voice, "Is it the sound of falling stones?" Zhou Yanbo looked down at the gravel under the stone wall, and was about to raise his head to leave, but his eyes were fixed on a place on the stone wall.

"This is ......" There is a strange pattern on the stone wall, like a bird, Zhou Yanbo touched it curiously, suddenly thought of something, pressed it, and sure enough, a secret door appeared next to it.

"Found it!" Zhou Yanbo hurriedly walked in.

"Oh, has this little guy found the secret door?" said the black shadow that had been following Zhou Yanbo all the time.

"It's light!" Zhou Yanbo saw a glimmer of light in front of him, and immediately became excited, and hurriedly ran over.

After walking out of the dark passage, what caught Zhou Yanbo's eyes was a suspension bridge, and opposite the suspension bridge was a green meadow, a quaint building, large but not luxurious. What a beautiful building. Zhou Yanbo exclaimed.

Zhou Yanbo walked slowly across the suspension bridge, and after entering, he found a person sitting at the door, with a wooden knife next to him.

"Little master, you're finally here. The man said.

Zhou Yanbo smiled slightly: "Yes, I'm here." Uncle!"

Sitting cross-legged at the door was Zhou Yunpeng, who had been waiting for Zhou Yanbo here since the beginning of the test. But what he didn't expect was that Zhou Yanbo only took three days to get here.

"The clan flag is here. Zhou Yanbo spoke first.

"Yes. Zhou Yunpeng responded, "But I'm curious, how did you know that the clan flag is here?"

"It's all up to Uncle Zhou Ji Zhou. ”

"Zhou Ji?"

"Yes, I stayed with him for the night, and it was he who told me something about the manor's past that made me sure the clan flag was there. Zhou Yanbo said lightly.

"Oh, is that so?" Zhou Yunpeng replied lightly.

"Uncle, this test is not only to test my ability, but also to tell me something, right?" Zhou Yanbo approached slowly and sat directly opposite Zhou Yunpeng.

"Oh, you know that?" Zhou Yunpeng looked at Zhou Yanbo with interest, "That's right, this test was created for your first mission, just to tell you the previous history of the manor. ”

"However, you seem to know about it......" Zhou Yunpeng added.

"It's a family defection more than ten years ago, right?"

"That's right! The matter was claimed to have been resolved and a new division had been formed, but in fact, the defection had basically been settled, but no new division had been formed. ”

"Because someone in the Zhou family disagrees, right?" Zhou Yanbo interrupted.

“…… Yes. But how do you know about that?"

"That's because ......" Zhou Yanbo stretched out his arm, suddenly pointed to the secret passage, and said lightly: "He!"

Zhou Yunpeng followed the direction and looked, but there was nothing. "Mr. Zhou Ji, don't hide, come out. Zhou Yanbo said with a smile. Sure enough, a figure appeared at the entrance of the dark road, it was Zhou Ji.

"Should I call you Uncle Zhou Ji, or Grandpa Hai?" Zhou Yanbo said calmly.

"Grandpa Hai?" Zhou Yunpeng was taken aback.

Zhou Ji smiled slightly: "How did you find out? I don't seem to have left any flaws." ”

"Ever since you told me those things, I've been suspicious. An outsider who is not from the clan family, but knows all about some confidential things of the Zhou family, as if narrating his own affairs, isn't it suspicious? Especially the defection contrary to the external claim, even not many people in the Zhou family know about it. ”

"You've doubted me since then?"

"Yes, but only doubts. But after arriving at the gathering place, I was sure that you were from the Zhou family. ”

"What's the matter?"

"In the gathering place of the people on the mountain, I always feel that something is wrong there, but I can't say it, but the words of the owner of the appliance store woke me up, when I was shopping, he called me 'little brother' instead of 'little master', it was these three words, I found out that the people on the mountain didn't know that I was Zhou Yanbo at all, because they hadn't seen me at all, but you recognized who I was at a glance, which shows ...... You are from the Zhou family. ”

Zhou Ji didn't say a word, just looked at Zhou Yanbo silently. Only Zhou Yunpeng swallowed his saliva: "The little young master is a little terrifying in this regard. ”

"Also, you are secretly following me just to find an opportunity to get close to me and tell me about it, and that you are going to somehow make you appear in front of me that night. However, you didn't expect me to appear next to your house, so there was a brief silence when I knocked on the door, and you were the one who threw a stone at the stone wall to remind me when I couldn't find the secret passage just now, right? ”

"Hehehe, little master, you said so much, is there a trace of evidence?"

"Get used to it!"

"What habits?"

"The position where you habitually put food during dinner that night is the position where the Zhou family usually eats and puts food, which outsiders can't learn. ”

Zhou Ji was speechless for a moment, and was silent for a while before he said slowly: "That's right, I am the third lineage of the Zhou family, called Zhou Haizhao." ”

"Sure enough, it's the same generation as my father. Zhou Yanbo muttered.

"Are you really Elder Haizhao?" Zhou Yunpeng gasped.

"That's right, I'm the only one left from the Third Line. Zhou Haizhao's face was expressionless, "The incident of the rebellion back then was obviously that the Zong family did not notice the rights and wrongs, and added a 'trumped-up' charge to the third line. I was not convinced, so I secretly stayed and avenged the third line. ”

"So ...... this test," Mr. Zhou said.

"That's right, this is my chance to avenge my grievances, and I want to borrow your hand to remind the Zong family, don't forget that incident, it was all a good thing they did! ”

"No, you didn't!" Zhou Yunpeng said firmly.
