There was a faint sound, and I saw a bluestone slab crack open, revealing the box inside.

It was a box of some years, probably because it was often opened, so even the vermilion lacquer on it was mottled and faded, and it looked more and more dilapidated.

There was a lock on it, but it was not locked, and Zhang Chenglin opened it with a light lift, revealing a sheepskin map inside.

This time, not only Qin Huaiyu, but even Zhang Chenglin was stunned.

Because it's just an ordinary map.

The only advantage is that this map is very well drawn, and even the trees, mountains and rivers are marked.

Zhang Chenglin frowned at me, while Qin Huaiyu asked hesitantly, "Master, are you looking for this?"

Hearing this, Zhang Chenglin couldn't help but shake his head.

He tried to find out how the man had connected to his family, but found nothing. Now the fish has not been caught, but the bait has been lost, which makes Zhang Chenglin a little irritable.

At this time, Qin Huaiyu heard a puzzled voice and said, "Why would he hide such a map?"

Zhang Chenglin flipped the map over and looked at it, but he didn't see anything famous, and frowned: "I don't know." ”

It's just that after he finished speaking, he saw Qin Huaiyu in surprise and said, "Hey, isn't this the map of Zhaoyao Mountain?"

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Chenglin also paused slightly and asked, "What mountain?"

Why did it sound so familiar?

Sure enough, the next moment, Qin Huaiyu said: "No, Master, look, it says that it is Zhaoyao Mountain, and the sister-in-law of the Dong family lives there." ”

It was in the lower right corner of the sheepskin map, a few words that were extremely small, and because of the darkness of the night, Zhang Chenglin didn't notice it.

But Qin Huaiyu noticed, not only that, she also said: "The day before yesterday, the sister-in-law of the Dong family told me about this place, so she was more impressed. ”

At that moment, Zhang Chenglin felt that he had caught some clues, and immediately asked, "What did she say here?"

These days, Dong Lin's family basically rested for a day, and he had to take people to the mountains to dig medicine for three or four days, and he only left yesterday, so now he is not in the city, but in the nearby mountains.

Fortunately, Qin Huaiyu had only heard it, so he remembered it really, and when he heard Zhang Chenglin asking, he immediately told the rumors he heard that day.

"It is said that this swagger mountain was not called this at first. It's just that more than 100 years ago, a group of bandits who fell into the grass occupied it and designated it as their nest to make waves here. The bandits were all rampant and vicious, burning, killing and looting. Not only that, but they also changed the name of the mountain to Zhaojiao, which means that where they are, even the mountain needs to act domineering and high-profile. Since they went, the people have never had a good life for a few days, and the local government once wanted to take care of it, but these people are so powerful that even the people in the government are helpless. ”

When Qin Huaiyu said this, he paused, his expression full of disdain: "Fortunately, this group of rampant bandits did not stay at ease for long, and they got retribution. At that time, a general of the imperial court returned to the court victoriously, and when he passed through this place, he learned about the style of that group of bandits, and immediately took the elite soldiers and strong generals to take the nest of that group of bandits. ”

The bandits got retribution, and after the ambush, the local people lived a normal life. But after this incident, they hated those bandits to the core, and even felt that this swagger mountain was not good. Therefore, this place name was simply left behind, in order to warn future generations, those who act too rampantly, sooner or later will be punished.

After hearing Qin Huaiyu's words, Zhang Chenglin frowned slightly and asked, "That's all?"

Hearing this, Qin Huaiyu nodded and said, "These are just rumors, and the truth and falsehood are not credible in the first place." But that day, the sister-in-law of the Dong family talked about it a little more interestingly, so I listened to it a little bit. It's just Master, why is this map so swaggering?"

For some reason, after hearing Qin Huaiyu's story, a thought suddenly flashed in Zhang Chenglin's heart.

Bandits, generals, occupy mountains, encircle and suppress......

It's just that these scattered thoughts don't take shape in his mind, as if some clues have been pulled down by him, but they can't be connected together.

In the end, Zhang Chenglin just said: "Let's go back first, and we'll talk about other things later." ”

The official who died tonight was obviously a hidden stake that had been buried many years ago. But the problem is that although this Dengzhou City has not been smooth in previous years, there is nothing special that can attract attention. The mastermind behind the scenes, why did he bury a nail here?

Swagger Mountain......

How could an ordinary mountain range be collected by this person, and it was still so finely collected, as if it was afraid of being discovered.

Although these many mysteries have not yet been solved, one thing is certain, there must be something else on this map.

It's just that this is really not a good place to study, so you still need to go back first, and then think about it slowly.

It was clear that Zhang Chenglin was very calm when he spoke, but Qin Huaiyu heard the implication that the wind and rain were coming.

She nodded obediently and said, "Okay, then let's go back first." ”

After she came over today, except for the clarity of the one thing, everything else was confused. Originally, he came to find out the truth, but now after watching Zhang Chenglin's series of operations, Qin Huaiyu felt that the mystery in his heart had not been solved, but it was getting bigger and bigger.

For example, Zhang Chenglin's kung fu that has never been revealed, such as his weird drugs, and why he is so familiar with a strange courtyard.

When he was in the courtyard, Zhang Chenglin's performance was indeed that he had never been to this courtyard. But he was very familiar with what kind of mechanism would be set up in it.

It's like, somewhere, it's an instinct, and people apply it.

So even if I change places, this instinct is still there, and the things inside have not been forgotten.

This thought was just a flash, and Qin Huaiyu felt that his thoughts were very. In his past and present lives, he has never heard of Zhang Chenglin having anything to do with anything else, what are you suspicious of?

She restrained her mind, but her heart was full of problems.

But now is not a good time to ask, so Qin Huaiyu didn't say a word after leaving with Zhang Chenglin.
