A few days later, Ding Sicheng gathered the five members of the Poplar team, handed the map to Poplar, and told them that he had once again invited the Red Gate Lord to accompany them.

Poplar was naturally overjoyed, and felt that with the Red Gate Master with him, no matter how difficult things were, he could get twice the result with half the effort.

However, the Red Gate could not come until the afternoon, and Poplar and the others could only stay for one more day, and they also took advantage of this day to rest and prepare.

Because the map shows that the "Immortal Palace" is hidden in Lantian County at the northern foot of the Qinling Mountains, so early the next morning, the group waited for a van to drive to Lantian County first, and then found a way into the mountainous area.

There is no shortage of high mountains and rivers in the Qinling Mountains, but in the territory of Lantian County, it is already an extension of the southern part of the Qinling Mountains, so there are no particularly high mountains and particularly steep terrain. Along the way, I feel that the scenery is beautiful and the scenery is pleasant.

But it is not easy to find the "Palace of Eternal Life", first of all, the map shows the same place names and topography from 2,000 years ago, and Ding Sicheng can only determine a general range according to his own understanding;

Secondly, according to the map, this "Immortal Palace" was not built in a feng shui treasure land backed by a mountain like other royal tombs, but like the tomb of Wang Jiutang, it itself was built into a small hill.

However, in this stretch of the Qinling Mountains, there are countless large and small hills, and if you want to find the "Immortal Palace" in it, it is almost like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Therefore, the first day passed in a few people constantly climbing over the mountains and mountains, and in the evening they found nothing, and several people felt physically and mentally exhausted, so they could only lie down and rest early.

The next day, there was still nothing, and in the evening, several people took the map drawn by Ding Sicheng and looked at it carefully, and they all felt that the general direction was not wrong, and the key was to determine the target in more than a dozen large and small mountains in this large area.

Tie Niu suddenly had a whimsical idea and said: "The Wang Jiutang tomb we found before is itself a tomb, or let's take a closer look at which mountain looks like a round tomb tomorrow, then it will definitely be the target we are looking for!"

His words caused several people to laugh. Bai Yang said: "You can't say that there is anything wrong with this method, but after all, more than 2,000 years have passed, even if it was built like a round tomb back then, two thousand years later, it may not still be like a round tomb!"

Everyone else nodded in agreement.

Tie Niu scratched his scalp, and suddenly said: "Lao Bai, didn't you say that Chu Changhe took the initiative to contribute this map, is it likely that there is some conspiracy?

"No!" Poplar shook his head at once, "If there were, I would have told you a long time ago! and...... Uncle Ding and I both think that Chu Changhe should have found the Palace of Immortality, but it's just ...... They didn't have the skills to get in, so they deliberately contributed this map. So...... Assuming that they really have a conspiracy, they will only guard near the Immortal Palace, and there is no need to follow us. ”

Tie Niu was speechless for a while, and only after a long time did he scold: "These bastards, since they want us to enter the curtain, they should come out and show us the way!"

At one sentence, several people couldn't help but laugh.

Poplar suddenly raised his hand and made a silent gesture.

The group immediately held their breath.

Poplar turned his head sideways and listened for a long time, but finally shook his head and said, "Maybe there was a sound of wind and grass, but I was too nervous!"

All at once the crowd relaxed. But I didn't want to be at this time, someone smiled and said, "I can't imagine it, I can't imagine it, you kid can actually hear my voice!"

Poplar jumped to his feet in surprise, and everyone else followed.

It was already dark, but at the same time as several people stood up, several pillars of light were projected towards the source of the sound.

There were a few big trees there, and the closest one to Poplar and the others was only five or six meters away.

It was from behind the nearest tree that a figure slowly turned out.

He was obviously a tall man, dressed in a very traditional black practice uniform, and his head and face were also covered with black scarves, revealing only a pair of eyes on the outside.

So much so that Tie Niu was shocked and blurted out, "The man in black?"

He naturally clenched the iron rod in one hand, and the others naturally tensed up.

Among them, Hongxing and Ding Lingling have seen the man in black, but Chen Xiaopang and the master of the red door have never seen each other.

But the two of them also heard a lot about the power of the man in black from the mouth of the poplar iron cow, so the two of them also entered a state of full-body alert in an instant.

The man was disdainful of the crowd, and even the iron bull only glanced at it slightly, and quickly shifted his gaze to Bai Yang's face, and said, "Your kid's kung fu is really progressing so fast, you can actually hear my voice!"

The horror in Bai Yang's heart can be said to have reached the extreme, and he had to take a breath to keep his composure, and asked: "Who is Your Excellency? Listening to what Your Excellency meant, I should have met me, but with Your Excellency's skills, why don't I have any impression at all?"

"Lao Bai, isn't this a man in black?" the iron bull shouted again.

"Shut up first!" Poplar replied with a frown.

He has always spoken softly to Tie Niu, and it is extremely rare to have such a big reprimand as today.

However, although Tie Niu was a little stunned, he didn't feel annoyed at all, but obediently closed his mouth, waiting to see what trick Poplar and the "man in black" were playing.

The man did not answer Poplar's question, but said, "I remember...... You're archaeologists, aren't you? Going around this area for the past two days, maybe you're also looking for Qin Shi Huang's Palace of Immortality?"

Bai Yang became more and more surprised, and said in a deep voice: "It turns out that Your Excellency has been paying attention to us for two days, but who is Your Excellency, and what is the purpose of appearing in the middle of the night!"

"I didn't want to show up, but you kid heard me, so I came out to warn you a few words!" the man replied lightly.

"What warning?" asked Poplar.

"Don't look for the Palace of Immortality, that won't do you any good!" the man said, always keeping a cold stance.

Bai Yang's heart moved, and said: "Listen to Your Excellency, could it be that Your Excellency has already entered the Immortal Palace? With Your Excellency's ability, wouldn't it be ...... A subordinate of a big boss, right?"

The man's eyes flashed. Poplar couldn't see the look on his face, but he could know that the words seemed to make the man angry.

"It seems that Your Excellency ......"

Poplar spoke again, but was interrupted by the man's sneer.

"I'm too lazy to talk nonsense with you, anyway...... Whether you're an inverted bucket or an archaeologist, trying to open the Palace of Immortality is harmful!...... It's not just your group that wants to open the Immortal Palace, I'll ignore you for the time being, let's see how many of you guys fight each other first!"

He smiled as if he was leaving. Bai Yang hurriedly said: "Your Excellency, ......"

As he had said these two words, he saw a black shadow flicker, and the man disappeared into the darkness like a puff of smoke.

With such kung fu as Poplar, he didn't have time to follow him, and his mouth opened wide for a while, and he couldn't breathe for a long time.

However, the master of the red gate took a breath first and said: "Is this really a man in black? No wonder you say that with the kung fu of the head of the mountain Taoist Qiu, he can't pass one or two moves in the hands of the man in black, and sure enough, this person's kung fu is so high that it is simply ...... It's terrifying!"

"He's like...... It doesn't sound like the man in black, does it?" Iron Bull asked.

He had met the man in black many times, and after listening to this man and Poplar for a long time, he could naturally tell the difference.

Hongxing and Ding Lingling were difficult to distinguish, so they could only look at Baiyang.

But seeing Bai Yang's brows furrowed, he nodded slowly after a long time: "Yes, he is not a man in black, but his kung fu will not be under the man in black!"

"No!" Iron Bull jumped up suddenly, "The man in black has taken a lot of immortal medicine, how can it be...... Is there anyone else who can be as capable as the man in black?"

"You just saw how fast he left, I even think that even the man in black may not be able to go as fast as him!" Bai Yang responded with a wry smile, "What's more, he was close to us to a distance of five or six meters, I actually couldn't hear it clearly, and I thought it was the sound of the wind and grass, this ability may not be able to be done by the man in black!"

Several people looked at each other, and all of them felt chills all over their bodies.

Because they can't resist a man in black, and another person with similar skills to the man in black appears, then they can really be said to be dead and have no place to be buried.

"Poplar, what do you think of this person...... Are you friend or foe with us?" Ding Lingling suddenly spoke, "I always feel ...... He wouldn't be one of the men in black, and he wouldn't look like ...... Chu Changhe's subordinates! First of all, it is impossible for Chu Changhe to subdue such a capable person; secondly, Chu Changhe handed over the map to us, hoping that we could find the Immortal Palace, how could he let this person come here at night to warn us not to try to open the Immortal Palace?"

"I think what Lingling said is very reasonable!" the Red Door Lord nodded in agreement first, "This person seems to know Poplar, Poplar, think about it, among the people you know, who is capable...... Closer to this person?"

"No!" Poplar shook his head with a wry smile, "This person's ability is so great, if I have met him, how can I not be impressed?"

"Maybe you've met him, but you haven't seen him show his skills!" Chen Xiaopang interjected, "Lao Bai, think about it, do you have ...... Someone who makes you feel suspicious?"

Poplar lowered his head and thought about it, but finally shook his head.

"There really isn't such a character!"

"Then do you think this person is friend or foe?" Hongxing also asked.

Ding Lingling had already asked this question before, and when Hongxing asked it again, Poplar had to think about it carefully, and finally shook his head blankly.

As Lingling said, I also feel that this person should not be from the Men in Black, but ...... Whether he was friend or foe, I can't remember where I've seen him......, so I'm not sure!

Poplar frowned and muttered for a long time, while the others were all silent, waiting for him to finish.

"I always felt ...... This person seems to really don't want someone to open the Palace of Immortality, so he ...... If we insist on finding the Immortal Palace and try to enter it, he will most likely appear again to stop us!"

"It should be so!" the Red Gate Lord nodded again, "He mentioned that not only is our team looking for the Immortal Palace, but he also said that we should fight each other first, and when we are done fighting, he should show up to deal with us!"

"Then what should we do now?" Tie Niu asked, naturally looking at Poplar, "The other team of people he said should be what Lao Bai said...... The people who are already waiting for Chu Changhe near the Tibetan Immortal Palace, right?"

"Very likely!" Poplar nodded, "So anyway, let's continue to search as planned! I always feel that this person is definitely not a thief like the man in black, otherwise with his ability, he would have been ruthless to us just now! So, when he appears again, let's communicate with him again!"

Others, naturally, have no opinion. Unexpectedly, as soon as Bai Yang's words fell, he heard a sneer in his ears, and it seemed that the man had not gone far.

Bai Yang hurriedly shouted: "If Your Excellency has not yet left, please show up, let's talk again, shall we?"

Several people were silent, quietly listening to the sound of the poplars, echoing in the silent mountain forest.

It's a pity that for a long time, there was no movement, and it seemed that the man was really gone this time.
