Qin Lan was extraordinarily efficient, and at about four o'clock in the morning the next day, an off-road convoy appeared in front of the courtyard.

The stakes were so high, I didn't play any more, and I took the morning and got into the middle car together.

What I didn't expect was that the person driving the car turned out to be Zhao Jinhuan.

When I saw Zhao Jinhuan, even I was surprised, "You're not dead?" ”

When he saw me this time, Zhao Jinhuan obviously became much more in awe.

He smiled bitterly and said, "Professor Li, to be precise, I am a person who has died once. ”

"Last time I was on the southern slope, I didn't know what kind of demon I was in, but I saw countless hideous evil spirits slaughtering me."

"In desperation, I jumped off a slope more than ten meters high and almost fainted from the fall."

"In a blur, I saw a woman in a white dress, holding a jade bottle and sprinkling a few drops of dew on me, and I didn't know anything if I didn't have it."

"When I woke up again, I had already appeared on the wasteland more than ten miles away, and the original ancestral Guanyin jade pendant also had a crack in the center of my eyebrows."

Only then did I notice that Zhao Jinhuan had a red rope hanging around his neck, which should be the belt of the jade pendant.

But on the same day, when Zhao Jinhuan left, he obviously showed a certain appearance of death, and there were no auspicious signs on his body, how could there be an extra life-saving jade pendant out of thin air?

I asked, "Can you lend me your heirloom?" ”

Zhao Jinhuan's expression was a little strange, his eyes rolled weirdly, and then he grinned awkwardly and said, "I'm sorry Professor Li, this thing is the treasure of my whole family, even my wife can't touch it." ”

Qin Lan was puzzled, "You don't even have a girlfriend, where is the wife?" ”

Zhao Jinhuan just smiled and didn't answer.

I always feel that Zhao Jinhuan is a little weird, in the past, he was obscene and yin, and he was very attentive to Qin Lan.

Today, his whole person's aura has changed, which makes me a little unpredictable, and I can't guess.

It's a pity that I couldn't get my body back, otherwise no matter what secrets Zhao Jinhuan hid, I would be able to see the truth at a glance.

While the car was driving, I lowered my voice and said to Qin Lan beside me, "Although there is no evidence, I think Zhao Jinhuan is strange, you try to stay away from him." ”

Qin Lan didn't take my words seriously, but said nonchalantly, "There are a total of three off-road vehicles on this trip, and there are twelve security personnel sitting on it, even if Zhao Jinhuan really has any crooked ideas, he doesn't dare to attack the idea of cultural relics in front of us." ”

Qin Lan obviously misunderstood what I meant. Zhao Jinhuan was sitting in the front, and it was inconvenient for me to say too much, so I could only find an opportunity to explain again......

It is the time when the summer solstice rainstorms are frequent, and before the sun can come out, the sky and the earth are overcast again.

Since more than five o'clock in the morning, the thunder has been rolling, and then the wind is howling and the rain is pouring, and only a white expanse can be seen in front of the off-road vehicle.

To be on the safe side, driving on steep mountain roads is like a turtle crawl, and the driver must be fully focused.

At the beginning, there was a road, and the back was a dirt road that was washed away, but fortunately, the off-road vehicle was powerful, and even if half of the body was submerged in water, it could be driven through.

In some of the collapsed sections of the road, the first two cars in front took out the folding steel plate from the trunk and walked a section to pave a section, which was a particularly difficult journey.

After staying in the car for six hours, even when I was a little drowsy, Qin Lan suddenly happily pointed to the mountain tunnel not far away, "This is Lao Niukou!" Less than an hour further on, we will be able to reach our destination, Panshigou. ”

I stared at the black mountains, which were trapezoidal, low in the middle and high on the sides, and long tunnels, which looked a bit like a cow with its mouth open.

In Feng Shui, the shape of the ox is auspicious. Legend has it that Lao Tzu went out of the west to Guguan, and when he ascended to immortality, he rode a green ox from time to time.

But the mountain where the "cow" is located in front of him is blue-black, and the surrounding vegetation is luxuriant, but this mountain is bare, almost no grass.

Due to the heavy rain, the surrounding mountains are surrounded by clouds and mist, but this mountain, which resembles a cow, does not have it, but instead swallows mist out of the cow's mouth.

When things go wrong, there must be demons, and I was wary of saying, "Stop the car and walk forward with a flashlight." ”

"Okay."

Qin Lan took out the walkie-talkie and turned it on, but the walkie-talkie made a screeching noise and was completely ineffective.

"The car in front, stop!"

Qin Lan opened the window and roared at the top of his voice, but the wind and rain were so loud that the car in front of him couldn't hear it at all, and drove directly into the dark hole.

After passing through the tunnel, we will turn the corner, and when the car enters, we will not be able to see the itinerary again.

Qin Lan wiped the rain from his face, "Don't worry, when they find out that we haven't followed, they will reverse the car themselves." ”

We pulled over to the side of the road and waited silently......

About thirty minutes later, Qin Lan took the mobile phone with no signal, turned around in place, and said with some anxiety, "What are these people from the Security Department doing, let them open the way, and they didn't even find out that the people behind them were lost!" ”

Suddenly, from the calm old cow's mouth, I felt a vague yin qi, mixed with a faint fishy smell.

I said, "Don't move around in the car, I'll go in and have a look." ”

"Professor Li, I'm not at ease if you go in alone. Otherwise...... Wait? Qin Lan said with some concern.

On the contrary, Zhao Jinhuan's expression was calm, "It's just a cave." If you really don't feel at ease, I'll accompany Professor Li on a trip. ”

"Okay, you come with me."

I'm not afraid. Instead, he was worried that after he left, Zhao Jinhuan, who behaved abnormally, would be unfavorable to Qin Lan.

Zhao Jinhuan, who has always been timid as a mouse, followed me into the tunnel without shirking this time.

Strangely, after entering the tunnel, I walked for fifteen minutes to the end, and when I came back, I didn't notice anything unusual.

Don't...... The first two cars, already arrived at their destination in advance?

When I returned to the car, I found that Qin Lanqiao's face was pale, and the hand holding the phone was trembling.

She only had a mobile phone with a single signal, and received the latest news - seven scientific expedition personnel in Shizuishan sent an emergency distress message at 4 a.m., but there was no more news.

There was another message, which came from 10 minutes ago.

The two escort vehicles sent an emergency signal, Lao Niukou still has an unknown danger, and asked the rest of the people to evacuate quickly and wait for the large army to investigate.

Qin Lan said with a trembling voice, "The road behind is collapsing, and the rescue vehicle may not be able to arrive at any time, what should we do now?" ”

I said, "Look at the sky, the rain will continue to fall intermittently for a few days and nights, and we can only enter the nearby villages." ”

"But ......"

Before I could persuade him, Zhao Jinhuan on the side smiled and said, "With me and Professor Li here, you don't have to be afraid." ”

Qin Lan stared at Zhao Jinhuan with a strange expression for a long time before he reluctantly nodded.

She probably also sensed that Zhao Jinhuan was very wrong today.

Zhao Jinhuan started the car calmly and slowly drove into the tunnel.

The tunnel is winding, and even if there are lights, it can't illuminate too much, so you can only slow down and drive forward a little bit.

In the gloomy tunnel, occasionally one or two frightened bats pounced on the car window, causing Qin Lan to shrink on my shoulder.

I said, "Calm down, or you'll be in real danger and you'll only drag me down." ”

"I'm sorry."

Qin Lan stared at me resentfully, and finally straightened his sitting posture.

Her demeanor and demeanor made me very familiar, as if I had returned to the Qin family villa and spent time with Qin Lan......

Just when I was dazed, Zhao Jinhuan, who was driving, suddenly pointed to the front of the tunnel, "Look what it is!" ”

Ten meters ahead, I saw a group of guys wearing colorful shrouds and hideous faces on their heads!

However, the picture only flashed by because the tire exploded with a bang, and even if Zhao Jinhuan slammed the steering wheel, he also hit the stone wall.

"Hell!"

Qin Lan was so frightened that he squatted under the seat and didn't dare to move, Zhao Jinhuan jumped directly from the broken car window, took out the ordnance shovel from the trunk, and handed me the crowbar.

"Professor Li, if you encounter something later, I hope you can protect yourself."

Cho Kim Hwan smiled brightly at me, and I intentionally or unintentionally aimed the crowbar at his head......

We froze in place for a while, and were slightly relieved to find that the person wearing the grimace had not appeared.

Qin Lan got out of the car and asked in a trembling voice, "What about the group of evil ghosts?" ”
