Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Foggy Mountains

The green bricks on the top of the cellar are arranged very neatly, and there are several wooden pillars supporting it in the cellar, which looks quite firm, and when you touch it with your hands, in addition to the rough texture, there is also a finger of dust.

Zhao Zhuo's gaze slowly moved on the top of the kiln, and suddenly, he suddenly made a discovery, and then strode over, and when he walked under a green brick, he smiled and said, "Come and see, I found something." ”

Everyone immediately became excited, and hurriedly walked over, and when they saw the green brick that Zhao Zhuo was pointing to, their eyes suddenly widened.

Jing Yao blurted out even more: "Isn't this a red fork?" ”

It turned out that on the green brick, there was a faint red cross print, this red cross was obviously painted with paint, because the light in the cellar was quite dim, so it was not easy to see clearly, and after so many years, the color has been quite dim.

If it weren't for Zhao Zhuo's eyes that were different from ordinary people, relying on Ji Yuan and the others, it was estimated that they would not find this trace for a year and a half here.

Cui Shiyan came to his senses in an instant and said: "That red fork originally didn't refer to the cellar at all, but this brick in the cellar!" ”

Ji Xiaofan reached out and touched the brick, and found some traces of looseness, so he immediately took out a small knife, and after knocking off the mud on both sides of the green brick, the big green brick fell into his hand.

Feeling the weight of the green bricks, Ji Xiaofan frowned and said, "This thing is not hollow, it's so heavy." ”

Everyone hurriedly looked up at the place where the green bricks were hollowed out, and found that there was nothing unusual, and the hollowed out was also a piece of mud and mud on all sides.

Everyone suddenly became suspicious, this green brick is not hollow, and there is no place to hide things in the depression, so where can this brick hide clues?

Zhao Zhuo thought for a while, took the green brick, slowly brushed away the soil on it, felt the unevenness on the soil, and said with a happy face: "There is something on the brick." ”

Everyone immediately became excited again, Ji Xiaofan opened the mineral water bottle, and after Zhao Zhuo cleaned up the soil on the brick, everyone suddenly found that there was a map carved on the back of the brick!

The brick was apparently fired separately, and the map on the brick was very simple, a boxy house, apparently the Yuan family's big house, and there were several large mountains next to the big house, and on the right side of the house was drawn a road, which meandered to the mountainside of one of the mountains, where there was also a circle.

Ji Yuan said with a happy face: "It's a treasure land!" Shi Dakai's treasure is hidden on that mountain! ”

Everyone nodded, Cui Shiyan gave Zhao Zhuo a thumbs up, and everyone went out of the cellar together, identified the surrounding environment according to the map on the blue bricks, and immediately determined the location of the mountain.

The verdant mountain is behind the stone mountain on the right, not far from Xiping Village, Ji Yuan called a villager of Xiping Village who helped to dig, and after asking about it, he learned that the mountain is called Wushan, and there is a river flowing under the mountain, which is very turbulent, and the terrain on the mountain is also very treacherous.

Saying this, everyone was even more sure that it was the place where the treasure was hidden, although the terrain was treacherous, but for Shi Dakai's army, it could be said that it was easy to hide the treasure inside.

Then he sent Yuan De to hide in the village, so that he could also grasp the movements of the hunters in the village, so as to protect the treasure.

Although the Foggy Mountain is very dangerous, everyone still decided to go to the foot of the mountain to see the situation, if it is very dangerous, then it must be well equipped before they can go up the mountain, but if it is not as dangerous as the villagers say, everyone naturally wants to find the location of the treasure by their own hands.

Moreover, according to the display on this map, the treasure hiding place should be on the mountainside at the eastern foot of the mountain, and the direction is very obvious.

So, under the leadership of the villagers, Zhao Zhuo and his party marched to the east, and after walking for about half an hour, the foggy mountains were already in front of them.

It was not until they got close that they realized that the mountain was indeed as the villagers said, with circles of white mist, and the whole mountain was like a fairyland.

Through the white mist, you can see a large area of primeval forest on the mountain, with lush trees, which contrasts sharply with the surrounding stone mountains.

When they arrived at the foot of the mountain, everyone gasped one after another, only to see that at the foot of the mountain was a winding mountain stream, and under the mountain stream was a turbulent river, and there were a large number of sharp stones on the water surface.

The only road leading to the foot of the mountain is an old wooden bridge, the bridge is only about a hundred meters long, two rather thick ropes are tightly attached to the iron rings at the head of the bridge on both sides, and at the bottom of the wooden bridge are pieces of wooden planks that look quite thick, some of which have been broken to the point of being only half broken.

The villager who led the way is named Zeng Xian, in his thirties, who is the most familiar with the mountain terrain in the village, and is also the son of the previous village chief, according to him, the bridge has been hundreds of years old, and it has not been repaired for so many years, but if you want to enter the mountain from Xiping Village, there is only one such road.

This statement couldn't help but make everyone look at each other, and they were all a little uneasy, obviously this treasure was in front of them, but it was blocked by a broken bridge.

Unlike everyone who worries about the safety of crossing the bridge, Zhao Zhuo pulled the rope hard, feeling that the rope was quite strong, and stepped on the plank again, and found that it was also quite hard.

Although he can't fly like the martial arts master in the movie, his physical fitness is several times higher than that of ordinary people.

This mountain stream is also about ten meters high, plus there are so many raised rocks on the cliff, even if he really falls, he can use them to slow down the speed of falling, not to mention, there is Mo Ling by his side.

As long as Mo Ling dragged underneath or held himself, this would also slow down the fall.

Therefore, this road that seemed extremely dangerous did not look so unbearable to Zhao Zhuo, he held the ropes on both sides with both hands, stepped on the plank, and slowly walked towards the opposite side of the bridge.

When the footsteps left the land and were completely on the bridge, the whole bridge slowly swayed, the ropes were stretched straight, and the planks made a "crunch" sound.

This voice immediately alarmed everyone, and when everyone turned around, they were all taken aback, no one expected that Zhao Zhuo would actually get on the bridge like this.

However, no one dared to alarm him, lest he be distracted.

At this time, the wind in the mountains gradually blew, and the bridge shook even more, but this did not affect Zhao Zhuo's march at all, no matter how the bridge swayed left and right, his body was straight, so that the shaking angle of the bridge would not be too large.

He easily stepped over the planks, like a thrilling aerial performance, and when his feet landed on the other side of the bridge, the crowd burst into cheers.

Jing Yao only felt that her palms were sweating a lot, and Cui Shiyan praised it: "Senior brother, your movements are too fast, I haven't seen it yet." ”

Zhao Zhuo smiled and said, "Then senior brother, why don't you come and try it too?" The bridge is actually quite strong, and I'm here to help hold the rope in place so that the wobble doesn't shaki too much. ”

After all, Cui Shiyan is in the archaeological business, dealing with ancient corpses all day long, and his courage is naturally much higher than that of ordinary people, when he heard Zhao Zhuo say this, he said very simply: "Senior brother is not afraid, I can't stay here to watch the excitement as a senior brother, okay, I'll come here!" ”

Ji Yuan reminded in a low voice: "Curator Cui, you have to be very careful!" ”

Cui Shiyan said with a smile: "Old Ji, don't worry, the junior brother walked quite steadily just now, since the ropes and planks are fine, then there must be no problem to cross the bridge." ”

Cui Shiyan strode to the edge of the bridge, holding the rope tightly, stepping on the plank step by step, because Zhao Zhuo was controlling the rope on the opposite side and stepping on the plank at the head of the bridge, the whole bridge barely shook much.

When Cui Shiyan landed safely on the opposite side, he suddenly laughed, and Ji Xiaofan also shouted at this time: "Brother Zhao, it's my turn next!" ”

Compared with the caution of everyone, Ji Xiaofan was a little more fearless as a young man, and after getting on the bridge, he strode over, and the speed of crossing the bridge was much faster than that of Zhao Zhuo and the others.

The three of them crossed the bridge, and Ji Yuan suddenly laughed and said, "Then it's my turn next." ”

Seeing that Ji Yuan was actually going to cross the bridge, Ji Xiaofan couldn't help but worry: "Grandpa, you better stay on the other side, let's go up the mountain!" ”

Ji Yuan said with deep meaning: "If I don't pass, I will regret it for the rest of my life." ”

When everyone heard this, they didn't say anything more, whether it was as a scholar, or a museum director, or a collector, or an appraiser, if they gave up the opportunity to find Shi Dakai's treasure and uncover a historical secret, they would indeed be in this kind of regret for the rest of their lives.

It is precisely because of this belief in unlocking the secrets of history that the bridge is not so scary.

Fortunately, this bridge is indeed very strong, Ji Yuan is not like the average scholar who stays in the office, he also does tai chi, and his body is much tougher than that of the old people of the same age.

Ji Yuan crossed the bridge safely, and Zhao Zhuo and the others were relieved, after all, if the bridge was really broken, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Jing Yao said at this time: "You guys hold on to the rope, I'll come over too." ”

Everyone couldn't help but look at each other, and then let out a hearty laugh, the temptation of this treasure is so great, even the reserved Jing Yao can't stand it.

A group of five people crossed the bridge safely, Zeng Xian was also curious, and followed the bridge, although I don't know why a few people went up the mountain, but these museum people went up the mountain regardless of the danger, it will definitely not be just fun.
