After Lou Jing and the others refocused on their respective affairs, Xia Yuxin blushed and gritted her teeth and waved her fist at Fang Shi, Fang Shi definitely did it on purpose.

However, Fang Shi said that the old man he met today was a peer, which really surprised Xia Yuxin and was a little unwilling, at that time he just felt that this group of people was a little unusual, and he really didn't feel that this person was a peer, could it be that this old man had reached the realm of returning to the basics?

However, looking at Fang Shi's expression, it didn't seem to be the case, Fang Shi didn't show any particularly surprised expression at that time, so he could only think the other way around, this person's level is not high, and he is good at hiding his breath, so he can avoid his own eyes, combined with the folk customs of this place, Xia Yuxin thought of the answer at once, this person is a wizard!

This also explains the reason why he is catching poisonous insects, perhaps this wizard is also good at raising Gu.

"The man is a wizard?"

Fang Shi smiled and nodded, he had never doubted Xia Yuxin's cleverness, and sure enough, as soon as she mentioned the beginning, she accurately guessed the result.

Xia Yuxin quickly thought of another question: "Even if he is a wizard, why would he be inexplicably hostile to us?" Has he seen who we are? ”

Fang Shi shook his head silently, looked sideways at the already dark sky, and the stars that appeared exceptionally bright in the night sky, and said softly: "Impossible, he didn't see it at all, and he didn't even react to my investigation. ”

"Did you check him in person? How do I not know the way? ”

Xia Yuxin looked at Fang Shi in surprise, she was more concerned about the question in the back, Fang Shi was casting spells by her side at that time. She didn't even notice it. This problem seems to be a bit serious. However, she seemed to have forgotten that Fang Shi was her companion, and the more powerful Fang Shi was, the happier she should be.

"I'm investigating him face to face, using a very secret method, since it is a secret method, it is naturally not easy to be detected, but the object of the probe is definitely easier to detect than you. At least he felt that something was wrong, but this man didn't react at all, perhaps, he was a very forbearant and hidden person. But we don't know him, can he be so deeply hidden? ”

"Maybe he's always been so hidden."

Xia Yuxin glanced at Fang Shi secretly, she was jealous just now, which made her a little embarrassed.

Fang Shi nodded, this was the only explanation, and the other explanation was that he had not systematically studied the cultivation method at all, which was not surprising. The lineage of wizards has always been informal, and many wizards were illiterate in the past. can only be passed on by word of mouth, and the result is that the more it is spread, the more unreliable it becomes, and it will simply be lost after the last.

Xia Yuxin suddenly thought, "Are you sure that the hostility he showed was not caused by your probing?" ”

"No, I did the investigation after that, because I doubted his identity."

Xia Yuxin thought about it again, but she was still puzzled: "Who knows Lu Dao, maybe there is a problem with this person's identity, or there is a problem with his behavior, and he has been on guard after being bumped into by us." ”

Fang Shi can only think like this for the time being, after all, they are strangers, and they may never meet again in the future, so there is no point in bothering about this matter at all.

In the evening, Li Shuya went home to sleep, Lou Jingzhong and Xia Yuxin were gathered in Fangshi's room, and Lou Jingzhong was comparing the coordinate data obtained today, marking numbers on a reprinted treasure map.

The treasure map was originally drawn on a piece of oilcloth, and the person who drew it was very unprofessional, and Aunt Li herself had never been to that location.

Of course, this is not a treasure map, but a road map, a road map to the ancestral shrine of the Li family's Dazhai, which has disappeared. Uncle Li's father was disheartened after his apprentice betrayed him and his daughter could not have children, believing that this was a punishment from heaven, and soon became seriously ill, and he sent his life's experience and the inheritance of his predecessors back to the ancestral shrine, and died soon after leaving this drawing.

According to Aunt Li, according to customs, each generation of formal wizards of the branch of the Li family Dazhai need to go to the ancestral shrine to pay homage before they can officially serve as wizards, and this system is also a kind of exchange, the wizards who return to the ancestral shrine will leave their own experience in the ancestral hall and learn from others' experiences, so there should be many similar codexes and cheats in the ancestral hall.

And these things are undoubtedly a treasure for ashlar.

"Fang Shi, I observed it today, what should I say about this map? It's basically a map-blind work, he thinks he has drawn obvious markings, but the distribution of these peaks is not unique on the satellite map at all, there are countless similarities, and we don't dare to guarantee whether he drew the correct proportions, from the current situation, according to this line, we have at least two dozen goals. ”

Fang Shi smiled and stretched out his hand to draw a semicircle on the map: "Remove the southwest and southwest directions, and we only leave the northeast and east directions, and then how many more?" ”

Lou Jingzhong took out another copy and retraced it according to the old map in his hand: "There are still six suspected locations, provided that the scale of this old map is correct, if the proportion of his lines is still wrong, then there are more possibilities." Also, why do you want to remove the southwest direction? ”

Fang Shi pointed to the only two Chinese characters on the map and said, "Because the direction of the characters determines the north and south of the map, isn't this line in the northeast direction?" ”

"But who said that this map should go up north and down south? Does the person who draws the map know the rules of the map? ”

"How do you know that he doesn't understand?" Xia Yuxin asked rhetorically: "In fact, this map was written more than forty years ago, and it should have been possible for him to come into contact with modern cartographic concepts at that time. ”

Fang Shi shook his head with a smile: "No, you are mistaken, the person who drew this picture is a strict warlock, so he follows the principle of front and south, back and north, left and east, right and west, you see where the door of the building representing the ancestral hall above is facing?" ”

"Up!"

"That's right, it's facing south, so you rotate the map one hundred and eighty degrees, and that's the map rule now, the route is northeast."

"But that's not necessarily, is it?"

"There is also a corroborative evidence, that is, the pattern representing Lijiazhai also has a gate, this gate is the gate of Lijiazhai, facing east, do you see if it is on the left hand side on the map?"

Lou Jingzhong saw that it was so, and Xia Yuxin also nodded convincingly: "Yes, it should be like this, Fang Shi, how do you see it?" ”

"Look at it a few more times and you'll see it, Aunt Li said that his father is a real wizard, and he must act as a wizard, so it should be normal to use the traditional method of remembering."

Lou Jingzhong smiled bitterly: "The drawing method of the front and south and the north and the left and the west and the east has long been used, and it is really a shame that they can still persist until modern times." ”

"It's normal to be polite and ask for the wild." Xia Yuxin pursed her lips and said, "Then we are going to start exploring these six possible locations next?" ”

Fang Shi looked at the six routes that overlapped on the satellite map, and said with a wry smile: "There are no ready-made roads in these places, and it takes three to four days to walk, so I'm a little worried!" ”

"Worried about what? We're not ordinary people, and the biggest guy in the mountains is a wild boar, so I don't think there's anything to worry about. ”

Fang Shi shook his head, and Lou Jingzhong also said solemnly: "It's not that I'm afraid of those, but poisonous insects and the like, staying overnight in the wild, these things are more threatening, and the other is the ability to deal with emergencies, so be more prepared, at least prepare enough antidote and snake venom." ”

Fang Shi also said: "The situation is as bad as possible, there are not only natural growth of poisonous insects here, but also artificially cultivated variants, today we have seen, there are many types of poisonous insects, and we are going to go to an inaccessible place, I think it is better to be safe." ”

Xia Yuxin looked at Lou Jingzhong and Fang Shi, and saw that both of them looked very serious, and she didn't say anything anymore, safety first is right, this is not the fully developed Qingcheng Mountain, but the barren mountains and mountains that are rarely populated, and danger is everywhere.

The next day, the transport company's caravan was about to leave the mountain, and Lou Jingzhong made another list, listing a lot of drugs and serums, and ordering a batch of food, making it look like he was ready to stay for a long time.

Fang Shi found the boss of the pack team alone, and the two of them avoided the crowd and muttered for a while before parting.

When the pack team was sent away, Fang Shi and they also packed up their things and set off again, this time they were going to spend the night in the wild, Uncle Li knew that they were going to spend the night outside, and enthusiastically borrowed a hunting dog from the village, saying that there were hunting dogs guarding the safety at night.

When passing through the gate of the village, a group of children rushed past them, the children turned back curiously, most of the eyes were focused on Xia Yuxin's face, and some bear children sang nursery rhymes in dialect, seeing Li Shuya's ugly face, they knew that these children were scolding Li Shuya, probably jealous that Li Shuya could be with this beautiful big sister.

Fang Shi pursed his lips and smiled, ignoring Li Shuya, who gritted his teeth, and walked with Xia Yuxin talking and laughing, and soon bypassed the hillside and couldn't see the village behind him.

The joyful hound contrasted with the dejected plum bud, which lasted until noon, and after a hearty lunch, the plum bud returned to his usual liveliness.

Fang Shi didn't ask, but Li Shuya himself came over after playing with the hound for a while.

"Sir, is Pengcheng easy to find a job? I've watched Pengcheng on TV, it's such a big and beautiful city, and I want to see it too. ”

"What, you don't want to stay here anymore?"

Li Shuya nodded vigorously: "I don't want to, I'm going to find my parents." ”

Fang Shi looked at Li Shuya, shook his head regretfully, and said, "You can't find a job at your age, I want to go to your parents, wait until you are sixteen years old." ”

Li Shuya's face suddenly fell: "Sixteen years old? Four years to go! It's been a long time."

Fang Shi patted him on the shoulder: "Four years is very fast, the question is are you ready to go to that bizarre world?" ”

Li Shuya looked at Fang Shi in confusion, that world? Isn't that world different from your own world? (To be continued......)
