Xu Buzhi sighed deeply, "I just hope that Miss Xi will do her best." ”

Xi Duyun nodded, "That's right." ”

The book was back in his hand, and Xi Duyun didn't read it carefully, but found a way to lead water from a low place to a high place from above.

Now that the dam is going to be repaired, the construction will start in the spring, the weather is gradually becoming very warm, and there is not much time left for him, and he has been extremely irritable in the past two days, perhaps because he can't receive news from Qi Lichen, and he doesn't know how his progress is going.

Qi Lichen looked at the deep mountains in front of him.

There is a reliable source that the people who left this batch of treasures have been to this place, and here the mountains are stacked with green, the fog barrier covers the mountains, and it is indeed a good place to hide treasures, and some local residents say that there are man-eating monsters on the mountain, and they can't come back once they go.

The places marked on the mysterious pictures seem to be here.

It's just that where the specific location is, I'm afraid we have to find it again.

It has been half a month since I was separated from Xi Duyun, and the last time I communicated was three days ago.

It's a simple homely saying, and it makes people feel comfortable when they look at it.

This time I went into the mountains, and I am afraid that there will be no communication for several days.

Qi Lichen settled his mind, his teacher has a saying that is right, once you have a weakness, you will not be too decisive in doing things, and your mind will be affected.

He looked at the pictures and texts, those incomprehensible symbols, as if there were rules to follow, he turned his head and asked Bai Ze and said, "Do you think this looks like a map?" ”

Bai Ze took a closer look, "The lines on it are indeed a bit like a route, but where is the end and where is the starting point?" And where is the map? ”

Qi Lichen looked at it carefully, the pictures and texts were combined, and the small gaps between the words were indeed like a road map, and the twelve pictures and texts were arranged, and finally he found that there was a small dot at the bottom, in the shape of an opening, like an entrance.

But where does this entrance correspond to?

Can the picture behind this dense pattern be connected to this mountain?

Qi Lichen asked for a map of the mountain to coincide, but found that some of them could be overlapped, but most of them could not be overlapped.

Bai Ze looked at some of the places that could coincide, frowned slightly and said, "This shouldn't be a coincidence, but why can't most of them coincide?" ”

Qi Lichen also felt strange.

He did find out that it was no coincidence that those overlapping places were not coincidental, and that some of the mountain roads were so tortuous that they were difficult to see in other places, and I am afraid that they could only be seen on this one mountain.

The mountain is shrouded in fog, and the trees are as high as a big umbrella to cover the sky, so it is easy to get lost when you enter the mountain if you don't determine the route in advance.

He suddenly thought of a very serious problem, "This treasure was left a long time ago, it is very likely that the world has moved, and the path has changed, and this map seems to have been newly drawn by officials sent by the emperor two years ago." ”

Bai Ze suddenly realized, "I see, so are those ancient roads from before difficult to find?" ”

"Since those ancient roads have not been recorded on the new map, it is very likely that these ancient roads have disappeared, and the emperor cares about this place, also because there are rich products here, and there are not many people in the mountains, I don't know, if anyone can still know the roads in the mountains." Qi Lichen said in a deep voice.

Bai Ze looked into the distance, "Shall we leave today?" ”

Qi Lichen shook his head, "The situation in the mountains is unknown, let's set off tomorrow, the big guys have a good rest tonight, and set off tomorrow, Bai Ze, see if the dry food is enough, this time, I don't know how long it will take, I have to be prepared for a long-term battle." ”

Bai Ze nodded, "I'll go and prepare." ”

After a night's rest, they were ready to go up the mountain. 118

Found the small dot that seemed to be the entrance, and after entering from the inside, there was an ancient road, which was not shown on the current map, the ancient road had been covered with thorns and weeds, but a few green bricks could be seen under the weeds, which had also been broken.

Qi Lichen took out the secret text and looked at it again, but unfortunately the specific location of the treasure was not marked on it, I am afraid that only by unraveling what is written on this secret letter can it be possible to know where the treasure really is.

"Pavilion Master, are we going to take the ancient path or ......?" Bai Ze asked.

After a night's rest, all of them were in good spirits, and it was not difficult to clean up these ancient roads and follow them.

Qi Lichen frowned slightly, "If you follow the road on this dense pattern, it is very likely that you will be able to know where the treasure is, but you can open the road in front of us, there are thousands of roads, we don't have time to spend energy on opening up the road, now that so much time has passed, although those people in the rivers and lakes have been deceived by our fake news, they have not gotten anything, and sooner or later they will come back to their senses, we have to act as soon as possible, we can't waste all our time here." ”

Bai Ze nodded, "Huang Xu said that the plan was successful, and the prime minister and King Mujun secretly had a disagreement, but we haven't found King Mujun's people yet." ”

"The prime minister has received the most news, since he didn't share all the news with King Mujun, if King Mujun wants to find us, I'm afraid it will take a while, we can take advantage of this time to find the treasure as soon as possible." Qi Lichen said, closing the map.

Bai Ze beckoned everyone and went down the new road.

As you go up the mountain road, you will see a small village, in the col, looking down from above, this small village has about a dozen families, but each family is a high-walled compound.

Bai Ze felt a little strange, "Why are the walls of every house in this place so high?" ”

"Probably to defend against foreign enemies." An attendant answered quickly.

"What kind of foreign enemy is defended against in the mountains." Bai Ze glanced at him and shook his head.

"It's noon." Qi Lichen looked at the sun in the sky, probably because of the high altitude and the fact that it was noon, it was extremely hot.

"It's time to eat, the brothers are hungry, Pavilion Master, shall we make some fire and roast the dry food hot, or go to the village below?" Bai Ze asked.

In the past few days, in order to hurry, even if they passed by any good restaurants, they didn't go in, and the brothers' stomachs were short of oil and water.

Qi Lichen thought about it, the road conditions were not clear, and he was not in a hurry at this time, so he said in a deep voice: "Everyone is tired, so go into the village to rest and rest." ”

When Bai Ze heard this, he hurriedly said, "Thank you, Pavilion Master." ”

Qi Lichen asked everyone to prepare for departure.

It took another stick of incense to reach the village, probably because it was not yet the season for farming, and there were almost no people in the village.

The wall was too high, two people high, and I couldn't see what was going on inside.

It was time to eat, but there was basically no smoke in the village, and the whole village seemed very quiet, quiet and terrible.

Bai Ze was a little puzzled, "Shouldn't all the people in the village move out?" ”

"No, look at this courtyard wall, it's so new, and the soil on it hasn't dried yet, how can it be uninhabited?" Qi Lichen shook his head.

Bai Ze didn't know why he always felt a little strange in his heart, "Then I'll knock on the door." ”

With that, he walked straight to the door of a house and knocked on it.

But after a long time, no one came.

"Is there really no one?" Bai Ze just muttered, and when he was about to leave, the big dream squeaked open, and an old face poked out of the door, "Who?" ”

Bai Ze was startled, and only after settling down did he realize that this was an old man.
