After You Yang and the three of them heard this, they all felt sad, and took some more money to give them, and the old couple thanked them a lot, and even said that they had met a good person.

This money was given by You Yang, and he still had some money on him, and it was useless to put it on his body, so he gave it to the old couple, almost 10,000 yuan, which was enough for the lonely old man to live for a year.

In order to thank You Yang and the three of them, the old couple made them another plate of fried bacon, and the old man saw that Chen Dong and the three of them had finished drinking, so they gave them two bottles of sorghum wine.

In the middle of the night, the old couple went to sleep, and You Yang and the three of them barely slept in his son's bedroom.

The next day, You Yang and the three of them got up early in the morning, packed up their things, and according to the signs on the map, they went out of the village and turned around two mountain beams to find Zhuge Tomb.

Of course, whether it is the Zhuge Tomb or not, You Yang and the three of them do not know, and it will be called the Zhuge Tomb for the time being, and it will only be defined after the situation is implemented.

After arriving at the mountains, You Yang and the three found that the road on the mountain was particularly difficult to walk, because the sun could not be seen between the mountains all year round, resulting in silt and water under their feet. Moreover, there was no one walking on the mountain, and almost every step that You Yang and the three of them had to use their machetes to cut off those thorn barbs.

Opening the road is hard work, especially Chen Dong, because he is tall and has long arms, so he has to do the main work of opening the road.

And You Yang and Bai Chen were behind him, so they didn't have to do anything, just follow Chen Dong.

This caused Chen Dong to complain, but fortunately he was not an ordinary person, and he complained for two sentences or honestly opened the way, this time, the three of them walked for a morning, and finally reached the peak of Panlongpo.

After resting for a while, You Yang and the three of them found a flat position, put aside the burden on their backs, took out some beef jerky and the liquor given by the old man, and ate it.

After eating, You Yang took out the map and looked at it, and then took out a telescope from his backpack to watch the situation in Panlongpo.

I saw that the highest mountain reached into the sky, and on both sides it were all steep cliffs, undulating and undulating, and there was no end to it, and it was impossible to tell whether the top of the mountain was gathering white clouds or snow.

Looking at You Yang, who was watching the mountain, Bai Chen asked; "Brother Yang, how are you looking, what is the situation in Panlongpo?"

You Yang said; "There are indeed a lot of clouds and mist here, and they are clearly layered, and there are wisps of green smoke and mist on the mountainside, and the higher you go, the thicker the clouds become, and they are all stopped by the mountains. Together, the main peak of the entire Panlong Slope, like a warrior with a white crown and green armor, stands in the middle of the forest.

The forests and seas under the mountain are vast, and the waterfall forests are in various forms, showing a beautiful native natural scenery. The mountains and rivers near here are about the same as those drawn on the sheepskin map, and in the depths of the valley behind the mountains and forests is the Zhuge Tomb we are looking for. ”

Chen Dong said; "I didn't expect Zhuge Liang to really choose the tomb, standing on the mountain peak here, it's really a glimpse of the mountains, this feeling is great, it's really comfortable."

"Nonsense, this was originally Shuchuan, and it was also the world of Liu Bei and Shu Han back then. For Shu Han, no one knows better than Zhuge Kongming, and it is not unusual that he can find such a coiled dragon vein as a tomb. Bai Chen said.

You Yang nodded and said; "This Panlongpo is the name of the locals, if you explain it in terms, it should be the Panlong Vein, and it is also a Dragon Vein, which is suitable for burying a founding veteran like Zhuge Liang."

Chen Dong took a sip of liquor and couldn't help sighing; "I hope the Zhuge Tomb I went to this time is not fake, otherwise the road ahead is really unpredictable."

You Yang laughed helplessly, what Chen Dong said was exactly what he was worried about, but since they had already come, it was impossible to retreat. And after he and Bai Chen came here, they couldn't calculate what was going to happen. After all, it is impossible to tell fortunes for yourself.

As for Chen Dong, You Yang and Bai Chen didn't calculate, because they couldn't see anything from him at all. It is impossible to predict what will happen to them.

"Okay, it's useless to worry, besides, we haven't seen anything, it's just a monster, and I'll tear him to shreds." Chen Dong said impatiently; "It's useless for us to scare ourselves like this, we'll know when we go."

"Brother Dong is right. If we go to Zhuge Kongming's tomb this time, what we should pay attention to is the mechanism and secret passage in his tomb, as well as the Qimen Dunjia he designed. If not, you have to watch out for brown or other unknown monsters that may come out at any time. Especially you Bai Chen, Brother Dong and I have stunt body protection, don't walk around in the tomb, everything is under the command of me and Brother Dong, lest there be any accidents when you get it, and you will be in trouble. You Yang said.

Bai Chen nodded and said; "Don't worry, I'll listen to you."

Chen Dong looked at the main peak in the deepest part of Panlong Mountain and said; "I want to go to the valley on the other side of Panlong Mountain, I heard the old couple say that we have to climb over this mountain, there is a tunnel under this mountain, and we can pass through the mountain by the river, so we don't need to go over the mountain. However, the old couple said that there were a lot of dead people over there, and they were often haunted. ”

"If there are ghosts, it's easier to deal with." You Yang said, then took out the map, and the three of them looked at it together.

There are two routes marked on the sheepskin map, one is to cross the tuyere on the Panlong Slope; The second is to go around Panlong Slope along the Snake River, a route that crosses a dangerous primeval forest between the mountains, and although it is not far in a straight line on the map, anyone who has entered the primeval forest should know that it is actually ten or twenty times longer than the expected journey, and there are swamps in some places, which is simply a green hell.

These two routes are not easy to walk, in comparison, only the Panlong Mountain above two thousand meters above sea level is more feasible, but without a guide, venture over the mountains without any traps, it is not a joke, and if you don't succeed, you will all fold on the mountain.

At this time, Bai Chen said; "Last night, the old couple said that at the bottom of Panlong Mountain, there are many caves as dense as spider webs, the legend is that the ancestors dug in ancient times, and there were rebel bandits who occupied it to fight against the officers and soldiers, and the officers and soldiers were helpless against the complex terrain in the mountain, so they had to build all the holes with stones to death, and the people inside were trapped in it. In the future, whenever the villagers here put their ears on the rocks of Panlong Mountain, they would hear the cries of despair in the mountain. ”

Of course, this story is just a legend circulated among the local folk, as for which dynasty and which generation the cave was built, who built it, what it was used for, who the bandits in it were, whether it was the local ethnic minorities who resisted oppression and exploitation, rose up, or what, no one can say clearly to this day.

But it wasn't until recent years that someone quarried stones and discovered a cave with lava rocks and an underground river, which runs through the mountains and flows into the Snake River at the other end of Panlong Mountain, which is deep enough to exercise bamboo rafts, and with this waterway, there is no need to worry about getting lost in the criss-crossing caves.

Because the terrain is gentle, the water flow is not urgent, you can put the drain down the river when you go, it is very labor-saving, and when you come back, you need to spend some effort to hold the pole back, in short, it is much more convenient than turning over from the mountain.

In the end, the old couple also told You Yang and the three of them that although it was a shortcut to the main peak of Panlong Mountain, there were many strange-shaped corpses on both sides of the cave, and no one knew when they died in it.

There have been a few times when people have passed through the cave, but there is a lot of miasma in the valley over there, and there is no one there, so there is no point in going there, and no one has been there for a while. If you want to cut corners, you need to be more careful.

……

You Yang and the three of them discussed it and decided to go to the cave at the bottom of the mountain, set up a bamboo raft and go down the river to the valley of Panlong Mountain.

The three of them hit it off, and they didn't want any idea of continuing to climb the mountain or crossing the river around the mountain. Packing up his baggage, You Yang put his arms around Bai Chen's shoulders, looked at Chen Dong, the two nodded, and used light skills to fly directly from the top of the mountain.

A few minutes later, the three of them were in the woods below the top of the mountain.

Bai Chen's first attempt to fly was shocked and frightened, but more excited.

At this time, You Yang said to Chen Dong and Bai Chen: "The clouds in the sky are getting thicker and thicker, I'm afraid it's going to change, let's hurry up and make a row, and strive to rush forward to the mountain before it rains." ”

At the moment, the three of them didn't delay any longer, You Yang and Chen Dong carried machetes, each went to find the fat bamboo to cut down, and Bai Chen was responsible for cutting off the branches of the bamboo with a knife.

If the bamboo row needs to be used for many years, it will be quite troublesome to do, and the bamboo needs to be scalded with hot oil before it can be used as a raw material, and there are some other additional processes, and You Yang and the three only need to use it once or twice temporarily, so it completely eliminates those unnecessary troubles.

After Bai Chen finished getting the bamboo outside, he went to the cave to explore the depth and flow of the waterway, and estimated that only six large bamboos with the thickness of human legs were enough to carry the three of them plus all the equipment.

After this busyness, You Yang and the three of them finally made a small bamboo row, and then dragged them into the cave with ropes, and the three of them entered with their front feet, and thunder rumbled and showers fell outside their back feet.

This is a limestone cave, as soon as you enter the cave and walk down obliquely for more than a dozen steps, you can see that there is a river at your feet, but it is more suitable to say that it is a deep stream than a river, it is nearly a meter lower than the ground, the water depth is about more than three meters, the water flow is very slow, the first half is hidden underground, until the terrain in the cave is low.

The cave is very wide, You Yang used the wolf's eyes to shine into the depths of the dark cave, the height difference inside is very large, the wide place can open a tank, the low place is only more than a meter high, there are many lava rocks formed for more than a thousand years, all of which are strange.

This is only the entrance to the cave, and the environment inside will be more complicated, and it seems that if you want to put a row through the cave, you need to lie on your stomach to pass through some sections. Except for the sound of the murmuring water, the whole cave is unusually quiet, and the sound of rain and thunder outside is not heard here at all, like a completely isolated underground world.
