The white shadow kept running in the jungle, although it was difficult to run in the snow, but the white shadow was very fast, and the black shadow was struggling to chase behind, so he had to take out his crossbow and shout at the white shadow in front of him: "If you don't stop, I will shoot you with an arrow!" ”

The white shadow stopped, slowly raised his hands, but did not speak, just turned to look at the black shadow.

The black shadow looked at the white shadow and slowly approached, "Who are you?" What is your purpose? Who sent you? ”

The White Shadow smiled and raised his head towards the Black Shadow, although he didn't speak, the Black Shadow also understood that the White Shadow was asking the same question.

The black shadow looked at the white shadow, and slowly walked forward, and at the same time carefully followed the place where the white shadow had walked before, he was worried that there would be a trap laid by the white shadow around him, because the white shadow ran straight towards here, and seemed to be familiar with the environment here, maybe this was the retreat route arranged by the other party in advance.

Just when the black shadow was about to walk to the white shadow, he suddenly heard a "click" sound around him, and the black shadow felt the sound of breaking wind coming from the left and right sides, and he subconsciously lay down behind him, and at the same time pulled the crossbow and shot an arrow......

After the black shadow fell and dodged the hidden weapons shot from the left and right, he also found that the white shadow easily raised his hand, grabbed the crossbow arrow shot at him, and then turned and fled.

When the shadow got up to chase after him, he heard the sound of someone stepping on the snow behind him, and he immediately ran towards the depths on the left side of the jungle.

The torture technique in the rear chased through the moonlight that was not too bright, and it was obvious that there were two people's footprints on the ground, both of which were big footprints, and it seemed that the shoe size was between 41 and 43 - not long after the door was kicked open, the torture technique was blown awake, and the moment I woke up, I felt dizzy, and I saw the door that was kicked open, and the footprints on the door, and realized something, and when I found the burning coals in the charcoal pit, I vaguely realized that someone was trying to harm them, and when I got up and walked towards the door, I heard the sound of talking in the jungle, So he doused Yan Gang with water, and without explaining anything, he chased him out.

After chasing for a long time, he didn't see anyone, he found two sets of footprints on the ground, running in two different directions, and also found crossbow arrows in the snow, and searched again, and found a stone with a sharpened edge embedded in one of the trees, and then returned immediately with crossbow arrows and stones, he knew that even if he chased it, he would not get any results.

Inside the house, Tian Lianfeng and He Chenxue were slightly sober under Yan Gang's care, and when the torture came back, Tian Lianfeng was picking his throat and spitting out.

Xingshu looked at Tian Lianfeng and asked, "What's wrong with you?" ”

"Isn't it poisoned? I'm going to spit it out! Tian Lianfeng continued to vomit after speaking.

Xingshu looked at He Chenxue leaning against the window in a daze, and said to Tian Lianfeng: "It's not poisoned by food, it's useless for you to vomit, blow the wind, drink some licorice water, I have it here." ”

"Huh?" Tian Lianfeng was still confused, not knowing what was going on.

After a long time, when the wind was almost over, the torture technique closed the window, but opened a large gap in the door, took out the licorice water that had been prepared in the backpack a long time ago, and drank a big sip of it, and when it was a little better, he took out the vitamin C and distributed it.

"One of us is probably goldenrod, that is, mandala, which is often called sweat medicine, this thing is very common, but the dose should not be heavy, if it is heavy, it is estimated that I will not wake up, drink some licorice water can detoxify, I usually carry it with me, licorice water and mung bean water, and vitamin C, these three can be detoxified." Torture said as he pulled the door open a little more, letting fresh air blow in.

Yan Gang held the crossbow arrows of the torture technique and the sharp stones in his hand, and analyzed: "This crossbow arrow is handmade, you can't buy it, it's a professional, this stone is too, even if you don't have any craftsmanship, even if you polish it, the flight distance is limited, not to mention, the attack power generated will not let the stone be directly embedded into the trunk, but from the perspective of craftsmanship, it is not a person." ”

"Yes, there are two sets of footprints, it seems that one person poisoned us, and when we fell asleep, we were ready to come in and put down the coals, and we closed the doors and windows, which would lead to carbon monoxide poisoning, like an accident, but this killer was stopped by another person, the one with the crossbow." The torturer recalled the scene he had seen earlier, "Then the man with the crossbow chased the killer, chased him to a certain distance, and hit the trap, but the one with the crossbow shot an arrow, and it seemed to miss, no, it was not missed, if the crossbow arrow was missed, it was impossible to throw it on the snow like that, that is, the killer grabbed the crossbow arrow with his bare hands......"

Yan Gang shook his head: "It was the moment when the person with the crossbow shot an arrow, but was caught by the other party, at that time you appeared, and the person with the crossbow had to flee, trouble, there were really two groups of people tracking us, and one group of people wanted to kill us, and the other group of people seemed to want to protect us?" ”

"No, not protection, another group of people may want to rely on us to find Qimen." Torture sat there rubbing his forehead and analyzed.

Yan Gang said: "Maybe, but depending on the skills, they are all tricky guys." ”

Tian Lianfeng on the side drank licorice water and gradually came to his senses, and after listening to the words of the two, he subconsciously looked out of the door, and he didn't know what to say, but He Chenxue was still like that, I don't know if he was scared to the extreme, or if he was indifferent to everything.

After a long time, the silence in the room was broken by He Chenxue, and He Chenxue asked, "Have you seen the appearance of those two people?" ”

"No, I only saw one of them, I don't know if it was to protect us or kill us, that person was wearing black clothes, yes, it should be black, although it was only for a moment." Torture Shu gulped down licorice water, he was still a little uncomfortable, the licorice water really didn't taste good.

"Rest, you two need to sleep, otherwise you won't be able to travel during the day." Yan Gang looked at Tian Lianfeng and He Chenxue, "You sleep, I and the criminal boss take turns to keep vigil, sleep, it's okay." ”

With that, Yan Gang stood up and walked outside the house, where the torture technique sat and waited for the two to fall asleep, then he got up and came out, looked at Yan Gang who was drinking glutinous rice wine at the door, and asked, "What do you think of tonight's events?" ”

"The thing I'm most concerned about now is that He Chenxue's guide is a bit weird." Yan Gang said in a low voice.

"What do you mean?!" The torture is incomprehensible.

Yan Gang pointed to the road when he came: "I was born as a scout, and the first thing I know is the terrain, and I am not too familiar with the Xiaobeihu Forest Area, but I know it." I was calculating the distance along the way, we walked from the place where we got off the bus all the way to here, in fact, we walked for about three and a half hours, three and a half hours, from the direction we crossed, in fact, we crossed the northern forest area of the Xiaobeihu forest area from the side, but when we walked here, I got lost, I don't know where we are. ”

Xingshu looked at Yan Gang, and after thinking for a long time, he still shook his head to show that he didn't understand.

Yan Gang drew on the palm of his hand: "For example, if the Xiaobeihu forest area is a circle, we are supposed to walk towards the center of the forest area, but in fact, according to the direction we traveled on the road, that is, the direction indicated by He Chenxue, we started to walk in the northwest direction, then to the north, and then to the east, in fact, walking in this way is equivalent to returning to the original position where we started, I definitely didn't look in the wrong direction, I began to wonder why we went back, but I didn't say it, I wanted to see where this woman wanted to take us, but I didn't expect it, but I came to this place, and the terrain here is very strange, there are very few mountains, but it gives people a sense of oppression, I have never seen such a place in the Xiaobeihu forest area on the map. ”

The torture technique understood, nodded and said, "This is like He Chenxue telling us that Shen Dongjun went to that mountain col back then, but he didn't know where he was, is that meaning?" ”

"I guess so." Yan Gang looked around, "If I was asked to go back and walk out, I would probably be confused, this is the first time I have encountered this situation, last time in the primeval jungle of the Golden Triangle, I didn't get lost." ”

Xingshu nodded, of course he knew that if people like Yan Gang would get lost, then it would not be too much for others to be blind in this environment.

Yan Gang thought about it again and said, "Why did He Chenxue hide so many things? Also, do you really believe that she doesn't know what happened to Shin Dong-joon here back then? Moreover, I feel that she should know about this room, which is not such a simple warehouse. ”

The torture technique was silent, and his mind was also in a mess, and he couldn't figure out a clue, especially after being poisoned, he was even worried that he would hallucinate, so he had to let Yan Gang be on duty, and he went into the house to sleep for a while, who knew that as soon as he fell asleep and opened his eyes again, it would be early the next morning, Tian Lianfeng and He Chenxue both woke up and packed up their things after breakfast.

The torture technique got up, rubbed his eyes, and felt that his spirit had recovered a lot, and when he was about to go out to wash, he suddenly found that the shadow of the heavenly monster above was reflected in the charcoal pit, and the moment he saw the shadow, the torture suddenly thought of Tian Yunhao, who died back then, - Tian Yunhao was tied into an "X" shape before he died, and the heavenly monster on the top of his head was also tied to his limbs into an "X" shape, but Tian Yunhao was erected in the corridor, and the heavenly monster was belly to the ground and back to the sky.

"How can there be a shadow?" The torture technique moved away and looked at the top of the heavenly monster, that is, the top of the beam, and at this time, the other three people also noticed that the torture technique was wrong, and they all walked over.

Tian Lianfeng raised his head and said, "What are you looking at?" ”

Torture pointed to the charcoal pit and said, "Do you see that shadow?" It's like an irregular X, similar to what your grandfather Tian Yunhao looked like when he died, but the location is different, and the top of the beam is obviously sealed, how did the shadow come out without light penetrating? ”

He Chenxue touched a pillar in the room and said, "Climb up and take a look?" ”

"I'll go." Yan Gang said that he was going to go up, but the torture stopped him.

Torturer straightened out his clothes and brought his own pocket with his tools: "I'll go, if I find something on it, I can easily identify it." ”

After climbing up the pillar, he came to the side of the so-called celestial monster, looked at the top of the beam, and changed his position for a while, only to find that there was a circular hole in the beam, and the light shone through that hole.

At this time, Tian Lianfeng suddenly shouted below: "That shadow is disappearing!" ”

Torture looked down at the charcoal pit, and sure enough, the shadow was disappearing, he immediately straightened up, felt the hole, and sure enough, grabbed a diamond-shaped black crystal stone from there, and then jumped down, and went straight out of the door to look at the sunlight outside.

"Black Diamond?!" Tian Lianfeng stood behind the torture technique and said with great joy, "I've made a fortune!" ”

"It's citrine." He Chenxue explained on the side, "It's a brown crystal, not a diamond." ”

Yan Gang didn't understand, just looked at the three of them from the side.

Torture looked through the sunlight: "Yes, it's citrine, this kind of crystal structure citrine is not something we can find in China, I have seen a similar one before, slightly smaller than this one, it is made in Africa, and it was purchased by a Middle Eastern sheikh for a high price of fifteen million dollars." ”

Tian Lianfeng was regretting that it was not a diamond, but as soon as he heard the words "15 million", his eyes immediately lit up, and he asked, "What about this one?" This one is even bigger, it must be worth more than that, right?! ”

The torture technique was handed to He Chenxue: "Miss He, you are an expert, what do you think?" ”

"D-grade crystal, it's worthless, there are too many flaws on the surface of the crystal, and there are traces of artificial polishing, there are a lot of cloud-like impurities and unknown inclusions in it, even if it's citrine, it's worth 1,800 at best, it's not a good thing." After reading it, He Chenxue returned the citrine to the torture technique, "But looking at the impurities and the grinding marks outside, it can be judged that the person who did this is to put this citrine on the roof, when the sun rises at a certain time in the morning, the sunlight happens to shine down from the side, and it can be diffused from the bottom through the refraction inside the crystal, so that the shadow of the heavenly monster can be cast into the charcoal pit, although this citrine is not valuable, but it is a rare treasure to rest on the beam, after all, other crystals cannot produce refraction, Diffusion and projection are the three roles. ”

The torturer put the citrine in his pocket, looked at the charcoal pit and said, "It seems that the shadow of this heavenly monster is indeed a symbol, maybe there is something buried under the charcoal pit." ”

As he spoke, the four of them entered the house and gathered around the charcoal pit, the charcoal thrown down by the killer last night in the charcoal pit had been cleaned up by Yan Gang, and all that was left in it was the thick charcoal ash from before, but when the torture technique reached out and touched it, it felt that the charcoal ash was surprisingly cold, as if it had been frozen in the refrigerator.

"The charcoal ash is cool." As he spoke, he touched all parts of the charcoal pit and found that it was very cold, and then touched the edge of the charcoal pit and found that the temperature of the floor at the edge was not so cold, so he took Yan Gang's dagger and inserted it in the charcoal ash, this insertion did not matter, and found that the charcoal ash was very deep, and the dagger was completely inserted, and it did not reach the grip, and it had not yet bottomed out.

Yan Gang immediately reached out and touched it, raised his eyes and looked at the torture technique, "Why is the charcoal pit so deep?" Generally speaking, 20 centimeters is about the same, and the deepest can't be more than 40 centimeters, right? And it feels like the charcoal ash is getting closer and closer the down. ”

As he spoke, Yan Gang stretched out his hand and inserted it down, then pulled it out and said, "The volume of the hand is too large to be inserted too deep, the density of the charcoal ash below is too large, and it is even cooler than the one above, so it is a little frozen hand." ”

"There's something down there." Torture rubbed his forehead and said, "It feels like a hole." ”

"Holes?" Tian Lianfeng subconsciously retreated, and He Chenxue was still expressionless, not surprised or pleased.

Yan Gang said: "Yes, it should be a hole, if it weren't for a hole, the charcoal ash wouldn't be so cold, but it stands to reason that if there is a hole, the charcoal ash should be warm, because the hole is warm in winter and cool in summer." ”

The torture technique touched the charcoal ash: "There must be something else added to this charcoal ash, so people standing on it will not cause the charcoal ash to collapse." ”

As he spoke, he stood in the charcoal pit, and then jumped, the charcoal pit did not sink, and there was no feeling in the slightest.

"What about pouring water?" Tian Lianfeng suddenly said a word at this time, and after saying this, the other three people all looked at him.

Tian Lianfeng smiled awkwardly and asked rhetorically, "Am I saying stupid things again?" ”

"It's not." Xingshu shook his head, "People are rare to be confused, you are rare to be smart, pouring water is a good way, next to the river, there are utensils in the house, go get some water." ”

Subsequently, Xingshu, Tian Lianfeng, and Yan Gang took large bowls, pots and other objects and walked towards the river, and each took another bowl for the convenience of getting water.

Walking to the river, when the torture technique put the bowl into the river to scoop water, the moment he put the bowl into the river, he saw that the texture on the surface of the bowl in his hand was a little familiar, he subconsciously cleaned it, picked it up and looked at it, and then said: "These bowls are antique porcelain of the 'Republic of China'." ”

"What?" Tian Lianfeng also looked at the bowl in his hand, "Is it worth it?" ”

"If it's a set, it's probably worth tens of thousands of dollars." Xingshu looked at these bowls and said, "It seems that it should be a part of the bowls that flowed out of the so-called palace porcelain fired in Jingdezhen during Yuan Shikai's restoration, these bowls cannot be a complete set, the workmanship is not so fine, the texture is a little weird, it is made of residual materials, but the painting skills are first-class, if you are not an expert in porcelain, ordinary people will really think that it is ancient porcelain, because the painting on it is too fine." ”

"So, the person who built this house was from outside? Or was it built during the 'Republic of China' period? Yan Gang turned his head to look at the room.

"I don't know, maybe, it's not a problem to build the wood of this house for hundreds of years, look at the utensils and objects inside, it also looks like the 'Republic of China' period, but it's unlikely, how many years have it been since the 'Republic of China'? Isn't it that this house has not been found in the wooded area all this time? Torture shook his head, "Forget it, let's get the water in first and pour the charcoal pit on it!" ”

Yan Gang said at this time: "I'll go in first and ask the woman, and ask her where we should go next." ”

The torture technique knew what Yan Gang meant, and did not object, and entered the house with water, and after entering the house, Yan Gang put the water on the side of the charcoal pit, looked at He Chenxue and asked, "Miss He, after we settle the matter of the charcoal pit, where will we go next?" In which direction? ”

He Chenxue said lightly: "I don't know about it here, my grandmother told me that it will be the end of my life, and she doesn't know the rest of the things, Shen Dongjun didn't say it." ”

Really! Xingshu glanced at Yan Gang, in fact, Yan Gang had predicted this before, because since last night, He Chenxue has said very little, and he doesn't say anything about his plans for the next day, it seems that he is taking one step at a time.

"It seems that under this charcoal pit, maybe it's our next step!" Torture picked up the pot and looked at the people around him, "I'm starting to pour water." ”

Everyone nodded, and the torture began to pour water into the charcoal pit little by little, once the water entered the charcoal pit, the charcoal ash immediately dispersed, and then formed a hole in the center, as the torture poured more and more water into it, the charcoal ash in the charcoal pit became less and less, and gradually the charcoal pit also became a square cave that could enter and exit a person!

The moment the cave appeared, a cool air came up from below, and the four of them couldn't help but shiver, Tian Lianfeng subconsciously touched his arm and said, "I'll go, why is it so cold?" ”

As soon as Tian Lianfeng finished speaking, everyone heard a "buzzing" sound around them, and then felt that the whole room was shaking slightly, and then there was a "click" sound from the window......
