Just as Guo Kaiqing and the head of the border garrison were handing over food, several police officers from the public security bureau brought a young man to find Guo Kaiqing, and Guo Kaiqing was a little puzzled when he saw this person.

"How did you find here, who told you that I am here."

The man was none other than the waiter at the hostel, as soon as he saw Guo Kaiqing, he burst into tears, crying and sobbing, "Brother Guo, my cousin died, he died in the hot spring next to his house, the police have come to see it, there are no obvious injuries, it is said that he drowned." ”

After Guo Kaiqing heard this, he was taken aback, he had only been gone for a few days, why did his cousin die.

"And how did you find here?"

"My cousin came to me after you left, saying that if something happened to him one day, he asked me to come to you, and gave me the address here, and I couldn't find you when I got here, and it happened that the police at the train station thought I had lost something, and as soon as I mentioned you, they helped me find here."

"Oh, let's go back and rest first."

Under the arrangement of the head of the local garrison, Guo Kaiqing and his entourage lived in the army's logistics guest house.

After lunch, the waiter pulled Guo Kaiqing to his room. The god said mysteriously, "Brother Guo, this is a letter left by my cousin, I haven't read it, he said it's very important to you." ”

Guo Kaiqing opened the letter and saw that the handwriting on it was very neat, and it was written by a literate person.

"Brother Guo, when you read this letter, it is possible that I have had an accident, after the hot spring talk the day before yesterday, I felt a lot, I finally made a contribution to the motherland, although I expected my fate, but I also have to tell you another important thing, this is a path to the Y country, the locals call it the poisonous dragon path. This is what I discovered in the 60s when I was transporting food to country Y, and once when we were about to return home from our mission, we were ambushed by the soldiers of the United States. All the trucks were scrapped, and I escaped by luck, and under the guidance of the locals, I found this poisonous dragon path, which is to follow this path, and I returned safely to China. I've never told anyone about the location of this trail before, and now that the two countries are at war, I wanted to tell you when you come back, which is also my second contribution to the country, but it may be too late. I am no longer there when you read this letter, and I will tell you the ~~~~~~ in detail in order to hand over this secret to the Order. ”

When Guo Kaiqing saw this, his hand holding the letter trembled very much, and the waiter on the side didn't know the situation, "Brother Guo, you have nothing to do." ”

"Oh, it's fine. I have accepted this letter, what are your plans? ”

"I'm going back to the hotel, and if you have anything to do in the future, you can go back there to find me. I knew that you were a member of the country, and I knew at first glance that you were an upright person, and I would be useful in the future, just say. ”

"It's good. What happened to my cousin's remains? ”

"On the third day of my cousin's death, I was cremated, and my cousin said that she would first be in the bone room, and after asking my cousin's ex-wife and son. If you deal with it again, your cousin's son is the only bloodline he has in the world. ”

"It's okay, I have five hundred yuan here, you take it back, give it to your cousin, let her take care of her body, as long as I am free, I will go back to see her."

The next day, under Guo Kaiqing's arrangement, the waiter left in a car.

Guo Kaiqing thought that his cousin's letter was a very important clue, and he immediately returned to the garrison area with Zhang Wenzhi and others and reported to the chief.

After listening to Guo Kaiqing's story, the chief couldn't help but shed tears.

"I immediately notified the local public security organs to strictly investigate, it has been more than 30 years since the liberation, and there are still enemy agents in their activities, a big living person, saying that he will die a whole death, this cousin is worthy of being a party member - worthy of being a real revolutionary soldier, I want to report his situation to Lu Shang, and let the big chief give him an explanation."

"Chief Xie Lu, can I return to the original army next?"

"It could have been, but not now."

"Are there any new missions?"

"Yes, a division commander on the front line broke up the people of country Y on the way back to China for a combat meeting, although there was radio contact, but they didn't know where they were, it just so happened that you have a poisonous dragon path to country Y, so leave this matter to you, then who, you cooperate with him."

"Chief, my name is Zhang Wenzhi, not whoever I am."

"Okay, Staff Officer Zhang Wenzhi, I order you to cooperate with Guo Kaiqing's work and go to country Y to rescue the head of the meeting."

"Guaranteed to get the job done."

Guo Kaiqing and Zhang Wenzhi walked out of the chief's house, still called the two officers of the security department who were on duty last time, and the group of four people set off with some dry food.

"Poison Dragon Path", this is an ancient road, according to legend, it has existed since the Three Kingdoms period. It is located in a secluded place, through the depths of a natural cave, through primeval forests, and finally to the border of country Y. Before liberation, this road was a "horse gang", in order to avoid the entanglement of bandits, the only way to go.

After the liberation, our country exterminated the bandits near the border, and gradually the road between the two countries became safe, and no one remembered this "poisonous dragon road" anymore. Uncle Cousin's letter detailed the location of the natural cave, and the two officers of the security department who accompanied him were also experts in pathfinding, and they soon found the exact location of the mountain.

Walking to the foot of the mountain, Guo Kaiqing said with emotion, "Brother Zhang, look at it, such a good scenery, if you are in peacetime, you must take a few photos of it, now it's okay, the two countries are at war, and the war is linked together, I really don't feel in the mood." ”

"That's the way it is, the people of country Y haven't fought enough for more than 20 years, and now they are all soldiers, and when we get over there, we have to be careful, I heard that their children will shoot, and don't die under other people's guns for no reason."

"Staff Officer Zhang is right, I have traveled back and forth to country Y many times, everyone should be careful, there are enemies everywhere." One of the officers of the Security Department, who usually doesn't like to talk, spoke, which surprised Guo Kaiqing.

"Brother Zhang, everyone has been together for so many days, and I haven't asked the two of them yet?"

Zhang Wenzhi smiled, "These two are comrades from the Security Department of the Southern Xinjiang Military Region, and they are usually people around the chief, so it's hard to say the name, let's talk about the surname, this surname is Wang." The surname is Zhu, you can call them Officer Wang and Officer Zhu. ”

Guo Kaiqing saw that the two of them were much more mature than themselves, so they called them "Brother Wang" and "Brother Zhu".

The group walked to the middle of the mountainside, and a huge temple appeared in front of them.

"Why didn't I see a temple at the foot of the mountain, Brother Zhang, did you look at it?"

"I didn't look at it either. Why don't you go in and have a look? ”

The four of them were all dressed in civilian clothes, and Guo Kaiqing was still wearing his pure leather "forward hat", so the four of them didn't care about it and walked straight into the "mountain gate".

Walking to the front of the main hall, the pairs on both sides of the gate aroused the interest of Guo Kaiqing and others.

I saw that on the left side of the book is "Heaven and earth open up, yang is clear for the sky, and yin is turbid for the earth". On the right is "The number of days is extremely high, and the number of places is very deep." Pangu is extremely long". The horizontal batch is the "ancestor of China".

"With such a big breath, whose temple is this?" Guo Kaiqing asked puzzled.

"This is Pangu Temple." Zhang Wenzhi replied.

Seeing that there was no one in the entire temple, the four of them walked straight into the main hall. I saw that sitting in the middle was a large statue several meters high, and the wide statue of the god was painted with colorful paintings that could not be understood. Guo Kaiqing felt creepy after watching it. Pull Zhang Wenzhi to come out.

Zhang Wenzhi was puzzled, "Don't you say you want to take a good look, why are you going to go out when you come in, are you afraid that the ghosts and gods will not succeed." ”

"I have a sense of foreboding. Let's hurry up. After Guo Kaiqing finished speaking, he walked straight out of the mountain gate. Seeing that Guo Kaiqing had no intention of looking at it again, everyone walked out.

Come out of the mountain gate. Guo Kaiqing and the others have been looking for the natural cave mentioned by their cousin, but after searching for several hours, they have never found it, so they sat on the big stone and nibbled on the dry food they brought.

"Brother Guo, you didn't take the wrong path, why did you turn around and can't find that place." Zhang Wenzhi said bluntly.

"Uncle Cousin's letter is here, you can see for yourself." Guo Kaiqing handed his cousin's letter to Zhang Wenzhi.

After Zhang Wenzhi read it, he passed it on to the other two officers of the Security Department, who were insiders, and after reading it, they did not speak, and they may still be thinking about it.

After the last speech, Director Zhu spoke, "I expected that the cave was still in that temple, and my cousin's letter did not mention that temple, so the temple must have been built later, so let's go back there and have a look." ”

Although Guo Kaiqing is bold, he is not afraid of the living, but afraid of ghosts and gods, so he is a little hesitant.

"Brother Guo, are you scared and don't dare to go, or you can sit here for a while."

"No, just go, go now." Guo Kaiqing didn't wait for others to say anything, he took the lead and walked into the mountain gate again.

At this time, there seemed to be someone in the courtyard, Guo Kaiqing stepped forward to look at the person, "Shi Fu, why didn't we see you when we came in just now." ”

"Young man, you didn't want to see me when you came in just now, and of course you won't see me." It was a Taoist priest who spoke, he looked to be over fifty years old, he was a little ignorant, and Guo Kaiqing didn't want to talk nonsense with him.

"Shifu, how many years has this temple been here, and was there one before?"

"What is this called, this temple is an ancient temple, with a history of thousands of years, don't look at this is the border between the two countries, let me tell you, as early as a thousand years ago, there was the existence of Chinese culture, then Y country still belongs to China, we can be called the same ancestry, the god in the temple is Pangu the Great, indicating that this is not a barbaric place mentioned in history textbooks."

"Oh, Shifu, let me inquire about something, do you know that there is a natural cave on this mountain?"

The old man looked at Guo Kaiqing, "What are you doing, why do you want to inquire about this, you all seem to be soldiers, aren't you?" ”

Guo Kaiqing wanted to say something, but Officer Zhu on the side showed his ID and handed it to the old Taoist.

"It turns out that you are an officer at the deputy regimental level, disrespectful and disrespectful, are you going to country Y?" Lao Dao read the military ID card while looking at Guo Kaiqing and the others.

As soon as Guo Kaiqing heard that Lao Zhu was an officer at the deputy regimental level, his face turned white at the moment, it seemed that the people who came with him were not ordinary soldiers, he was a deputy company, and the other three people, he expected that they were all his leaders.

"We were on a mission, and the road was pointed out by a senior, and we walked around the mountains for hours, but we couldn't find where the natural cave was."

"It's all for the sake of the country, so let's go with me, I'll lead you." Saying that, Lao Dao led the way in front, and Guo Kaiqing and the four of them followed behind.

At the back of the main hall, there is also a large hall, which is not high, but it is also very large. After Guo Kaiqing and the others followed the old road, they found that the "Yan Emperor" was enshrined here. Because they had a task, they didn't ask much about the situation, and walked straight to the back of the statue, only to find that there was an iron "charity box" behind them.

Lao Dao smiled, "It's under the box, I won't take you there, you can go down by yourself, the light down is ruthless." ”

Guo Kaiqing and the others pushed open the box, and a clear tunnel appeared in front of them. After a few people went down, they descended the stone steps and the stone steps were very wide, and there was a bright light in front of them, and they walked forward, and the wider and wider, and after walking for about ten minutes, they walked out of the cave.

After leaving the entrance of the cave, Guo Kaiqing looked back, it turned out that when he looked at it from the entrance of the cave, it was very accurate that it was a natural cave, but when he looked inside, there was no light, he expected that it must be because of the stone steps, and what his cousin said must be the route he saw when he came back from country Y, it may be that after he came out of the hole, he did not explain the matter of the temple.

Guo Kaiqing They looked further, it was really a dense primeval forest, Zhang Wenzhi recognized, this is all some precious wood, take out a tree out, are extremely noble, they continue to move forward along the path, fortunately this road seems to be a lot of people have stepped on, it is simply "a big road leads to Rome", there is no need to think about whether to turn or not, the most out of the forest.

Just as Guo Kaiqing and the others were out of the woods, bursts of gunfire rang out in the distance, which made Guo Kaiqing judge that it was about a thousand meters at most, Guo Kaiqing told everyone to speed up their pace, it must be the chief who is in danger.

The gunfire came from far and near, Guo Kaiqing and the four of them ran wildly, they didn't know how many guards there were in the head of the road, if the chief made a slight mistake, their mission on this trip would fail. Just as they were getting closer and closer to the gunshot, the gunfire suddenly stopped, and they only heard a number of people in the distance, communicating in Y Mandarin, and Lao Zhu on the side could obviously understand their words.

"These devils of country Y, they are saying that the enemy is running out of bullets, and the one who takes the lead must be a big official, otherwise it is impossible for those soldiers to defend him desperately and block his guns." (To be continued......)
