Thinking of this, Chu Tianyi couldn't help but think of another doubt in his heart. remembered when Gu Xiaoqian came to him to ask for the secret box. Assuming that what Gu Xiaoqian said was true at that time, it means that the secret box is indeed in the hands of grandpa. In this way, there are two possibilities, first, the father does not know that the secret box is in the hands of the grandfather, but if this is the case, then the father's motive for coming here to find the secret box and pursue the ancient Xu Kingdom is not established, and the grandfather can't watch his son risk his life to do a meaningless thing.

The second possibility is that the father knows that the secret box is in the hands of grandpa, so his motive for coming here again is very intriguing, and nine times out of ten he came to find out the secret of the secret box.

If it is the second possibility, then the question is back to square one, that is, where did this secret box go?

Chu Tianyi's thoughts turned around, but there was a guess in his mind, it was related to the secret box and his father, but before he could sort it out, Mu Feng walked over and patted him gently, "Hey, what do you want?" ”

"Nothing." Chu Tianyi shook his head and retracted his thoughts.

Mu Feng sat down opposite Chu Tianyi and casually threw a few pieces of firewood into the fire. Chu Tianyi thought for a moment and asked, "Brother Feng, where are we going to the canyon now?" ”

Mu Feng lowered his head and groaned slightly, then took out a map from his pocket, spread it on the ground and pointed it to Chu Tianyi, "This is the location of our first day, based on the speed and distance we have traveled in the past few days, we should be in this position now," he said, and he nodded at the back of the canyon.

Chu Tianyi looked at the map and asked, "That means we will definitely walk to the end of the canyon tomorrow." ”

"If nothing else, it is." Hearing Mu Feng say this, Chu Tianyi was also dumbfounded, he had already encountered a lot of accidents in the past two days, who knows what kind of situation he will encounter tomorrow. He looked at the map on the ground with some distraction, looked at the canyon that ran through it, and the intersecting rivers and the heavenly pond like a pearl, and the strange feeling before appeared again, as if there was something coming out of his mind, but even a layer of window paper could not be pierced.

Chu Tianyi weighed it in his heart, and finally made a decision, he looked up at Mu Feng: "Brother Feng, I want to tell you something." ”

Mu Feng knew that what he was going to say must be very important when he saw his expression, so he nodded very seriously. Chu Tianyi continued: "In my father's message to my grandfather twenty years ago, there is a sentence that I think has something to do with here. ”

"What is it?" Mu Feng was also very interested when he heard it.

Chu Tianyi looked at the bearded and Xiao Meng who had already slept inside, and said softly to Mu Feng: "Wolong plays with pearls, and the ear moon is in the cave." ”

Mu Feng couldn't help frowning when he heard this, "What does this mean?" ”

Chu Tianyi shrugged helplessly, saying that he didn't know either.

Mu Feng lowered his head and thought for a while, and also showed a helpless expression, "I think this sentence does imply a certain meaning, it is very likely that it is just as you guessed, as for the specifics, I can't think of it for the time being." ”

Chu Tianyi sighed, "Okay, then don't think about it yet, maybe you will understand when you get to that position." ”

"Maybe," Mu Feng nodded, and neither of them spoke. After being silent for a while, Chu Tianyi felt that Mu Feng was looking at him, he looked over suspiciously, but found that Mu Feng's expression was a little strange.

Chu Tianyi was a little puzzled, "Why are you looking at me like this." ”

Mu Fengqiang smiled and said with some hesitation: "Tianyi, if we find the underground canyon tomorrow, in case, I mean in case, in case, Uncle Chu is found in it, are you mentally prepared?" ”

Chu Tianyi was stunned for a moment, and then he understood what Mu Feng meant, it seemed that he wanted to give himself a preventive shot before a worse situation appeared.

Chu Tianyi wanted to laugh and pretend to be calm, but he didn't laugh at all when he grinned, so he had to take a deep breath, "Actually, in the past twenty years, I have already planned for the worst, don't worry, even then, I will be fine." ”

"I'm also talking nonsense, Uncle Chu must have his own natural appearance," Mu Feng put away the map as he said, "Rest, we have to continue tomorrow." ”

Chu Tianyi got up and walked to the position in the back and sat down against the stone wall, and looked at Mu Feng, who was still sitting by the fire, "Alas, Brother Feng, I see that your state today is much better than a few days ago, and your physical strength is okay." ”

"Hold on," Mu Feng smiled bitterly, and then he added, "However, I myself found that my cough seemed to be better. ”

"Probably because the air here is moist and clean, which has the effect of nourishing the lungs." Chu Tianyi said as he wrapped his clothes tightly.

Mu Feng looked at the secluded Grand Canyon outside the cave, "My biggest wish is to earn enough money to build a house in the mountains." ”

"Why build a house?" Chu Tianyi asked strangely.

"Of course, it's to find a whole bunch of beautiful women to come and be company! It's lonely to live alone. Mu Feng laughed out loud as he spoke.

"I've probably found the root of your cough." Chu Tianyi closed his eyes as he spoke, probably too much physical exertion, and he had already fallen asleep before he could hear what Mu Feng answered.

Mu Feng looked at the sleeping Chu Tianyi, then at the sleeping bearded and Xiao Meng on the other side, and then walked to the offering table, he raised his head and looked at the strange stone statue above with some distraction......

Early the next morning, Chu Tianyi was awakened by the dazzling sunlight at the entrance of the cave. He looked up and found that the other three people were still asleep, and their positions were relatively close to the inside, so the sun couldn't shine, Chu Tianyi couldn't help but sigh that he was still too inexperienced, and he didn't choose the right place to sleep.

He looked at the time, it was already more than eight o'clock in the morning, he didn't expect to sleep for so long, it seemed that he was really tired yesterday.

Chu Tianyi stood up, moved his waist and legs, and walked to the entrance of the cave. Outside, the crisp chirping of birds and the dew on the leaves were verdant, and it was a fresh, natural and thriving scene. Except for the giant crater a little farther away, it still reminds people of some unpleasant things.

Chu Tianyi touched his stomach, and a faint feeling of hunger came. He looked at the fire at the entrance of the cave and didn't know when it had been extinguished. Only a few faint sparks still draw sinuous curves on the firewood.

He took the lighter out of his pocket and prepared to light it. But just as he looked down, he suddenly found that there was a footprint left on a soot next to the fire. And this footprint is obviously not left by humans, the soles of the feet are very thick, and there are even traces left by the meat pads.

Chu Tianyi hurriedly returned to the entrance of the cave and looked around, but did not find anything abnormal. But when he withdrew his gaze, he was surprised to find that the two climbing ropes that had been hanging outside the entrance of the cave were gone.

He hurriedly climbed the hole with his hand, leaned out and searched up and down, but still did not find it.

"I'll go!" Chu Tianyi withdrew his body and couldn't help but scold, "What's the situation!" ”

Mu Feng's voice was awakened, and he immediately raised his head, "Tianyi, what's wrong with you?" ”

"I'm fine," Chu Tianyi said a little anxiously, "It's that the climbing rope we hung outside is gone!" ”

"Huh?" Mu Feng quickly stood up and walked quickly to the entrance of the cave, he also leaned out and looked, his face was also full of doubts, "How can someone in this barren mountain and mountain range steal the rope!" ”

"It's not just this," Chu Tianyi pointed to the footprints beside the fire, "Brother Feng, look at this, it seems that there are not just the four of us here last night!" ”

Mu Feng's face changed suddenly, he looked at the bearded man and Xiao Meng who had not yet woken up, and shouted loudly: "Hey!! Wake up!! Don't TM sleep! ”

The two of them woke up immediately, Xiao Meng rubbed his eyes, and looked up at us a little blankly, "What's wrong?" What's wrong? ”

Chu Tianyi pointed to the footprints on the ground, "You can come over and take a look." ”

The two of them walked up, and Xiao Meng couldn't help but gasp when he looked at the footprints, "What is this?" ”
