To say that Qushan and Chaofeng City are still very close, the straight-line distance is only 800 kilometers.

Therefore, it only took three hours for Zhou Mingyue to arrive in Qushan City, and a lot of time was spent waiting for the plane and boarding.

Zhou Mingyue had no intention of going to Qushan City, but took a bus from the airport to Qushan Scenic Area directly.

But when the bus arrived at Qushan, when his legs just stepped on the ground, he had a premonition that he had come to Qushan and ran in vain.

At this time, it was the summer vacation after the college entrance examination, although the temperature in most areas of Danyang Kingdom soared to more than 35 degrees, but because Qushan was naturally cool, it was still crowded with people, which made Zhou Mingyue feel a little suffocated when he saw it.

He both had the urge to turn around and get into the car and leave.

Of course, the main reason for this is because he didn't feel that Qu Shan had the same aura as Mad Mountain.

Well, even Sishan, although it looks normal on the surface, in fact, he still noticed a little strangeness, but in the end he couldn't find the problem.

But this Zhongyue Qushan is very ordinary in his feelings, and the people who are full of mountains have strengthened this point.

But it's all coming, and it's going to come around in a circle.

Zhou Mingyue went straight to the booked hotel.

The location of the hotel is very good, it is only about two kilometers away from the main peak of Qu Mountain, so standing in front of the window, ordinary human beings can clearly see the wonder of the main peak of Qu Mountain bending down with a telescope.

stayed for one night, and in the early morning of the next day, Zhou Mingyue boarded a plane to Shoushan City.

This time the plane took longer, and three and a half hours later, Zhou Mingyue set foot on the land of Shoushan City.

Compared with Qu Shan, as soon as he approached Shoushan, he had a different feeling in his heart.

A very strange aura pervades the surroundings of this Shoushan, this strange aura seems to be extracting something from people, but it is not very harmful to the human body.

Shoushan Mountain is the highest mountain among the five mountains.

Because of the legend of the Shoushan porous stone, many people have been digging this porous stone for a long time to make a living.

For thousands of years, many places in this Shoushan have been hollowed out.

If it weren't for the fact that Danyang Kingdom enacted a law prohibiting the continued excavation and other activities in Shoushan 20 years ago, with the current advanced excavation machinery, this Shoushan would probably be razed to the ground in no more than 30 years.

It is precisely because of the many legends and stories of Shoushan that this Shoushan Scenic Area is the most famous among the five mountains, so the tourists who come here are also the most.

Zhou Mingyue even saw a lot of foreign tourists during the process of going up the mountain.

Holding cameras and mobile phones, these foreign tourists are constantly taking pictures of the scenery of Shoushan, and their mouths are constantly exclaiming.

There was even someone who asked Zhou Mingyue to help take pictures, of course, he didn't refuse, took the camera with a smile and helped shoot.

By the time we reached the summit from the base of the mountain, it was already dusk.

Zhou Mingyue booked a hotel on the top of the mountain as early as before departure, so naturally there was no need to take the cable car down the mountain.

After a very Shoushan-style dinner, he returned to his room early, and hung a Do Not Disturb sign outside the door.

Standing in front of the window and watching the dusk scene on the top of Shoushan Mountain, Zhou Mingyue was quickly judging in his mind.

There is no doubt that there is indeed a treasure in this Shoushan!

But as far as the mountain is concerned, the treasures of this Shoushan are undoubtedly more hidden.

This can be seen in its external interference.

But now the problem is that it is definitely a big project to dig out the treasures buried in Shoushan!

It is too difficult to do this without being noticeable in Shoushan, which is crowded with people.

Let's find the specific direction first.

Zhou Mingyue rubbed his somewhat sore eyebrows, turned around and sat on the sofa, turned on the TV, and watched the entertainment program with a smile while waiting for the night to fall.

Time passed with the clouds and mist at the top of Shoushan Mountain.

By 2 a.m., the noise of the Hilltop Hotel quickly faded into silence.

Even the most excited tourists fall asleep at this time in the sudden drop in temperature.

A dark shadow burst out of the open window, grabbed the bulge in the building with both hands, and then disappeared into the night sky like a large bird quietly over the low wall.

At half past four in the morning, there are already early visitors washing up, and the reason why they get up early is to watch the rare sunrise scene at the top of Shoushan Mountain.

And Zhou Mingyue had already returned to the room at this time.

He didn't find the treasure, but more than two hours were not wasted.

At least he was sure that there was no treasure within thirty meters of the mountain top!

Of course, it would be too much time to probe one by one like this.

So he sat down in front of the computer and used the computer in the hotel room to look up some information.

For example, from the beginning of the record, the specific origin of those Shoushan porous stones, and so on.

But then again, it's undoubtedly a tough job.

It is difficult to find this information online.

But fortunately, Zhou Mingyue found a certain "mouse" who secretly resold Shoushan porous stone.

Well, merely enacting legislation to prohibit the excavation of Shoushan porous stone did not cure the root cause, so Danyang State also banned the trading of Shoushan porous stone later.

This is tantamount to severing the roots of the corresponding interests.

Of course, no one does the business at a loss.

It is precisely because Shoushan porous stone no longer continues to be produced, but the price of previously excavated stones has skyrocketed.

As it stands, this Shoushan porous stone is almost as famous in the collecting world as jadeite.

In this way, the gray chain of secretly digging and buying and selling Shoushan porous stone naturally appeared.

After pushing off the room, Zhou Mingyue went straight down the mountain and came to the door of a bar in the downtown area of Shoushan City.

At this time, the bar is naturally not open.

But when he knocked on it, it opened.

Before he could speak, the man who opened the door pulled him in.

If you want to say that with Zhou Mingyue's current strength, the other party can't let him move half a step, even if he tries his whole body, he can't make him move half a step.

But Zhou Mingyue was still relieved and let the other party pull in.

"You're a big cockroach?"

There was no light on in the bar, and the other party's face was in the dark, and he asked eagerly.

"I'm a cockroach, you're a ground mouse?"

Zhou Mingyue complained a little about the other party's nickname, of course, the nickname he gave himself was not much better.

"I am, come with me!"

The ground mouse didn't give Zhou Mingyue a chance to talk at all, pulled him all the way and ran wildly, left the bar straight through the back door, and then turned east and west, and only after more than ten circles around the shantytown did he stop and go up to the third floor of an old residential building.

After opening the door, there was a disgusting smell in the living room, probably because it was feet, moldy instant noodles and the stench that gathered after not taking a bath for a long time.

Zhou Mingyue almost vomited.

Four men sat on the living room sofa, playing cards in a circle, and the coffee table was piled with beer bottles, moldy instant noodles and cigarette butts, and on the living room floor were either fruit peels or cigarette butts.

To be honest, if Zhou Mingyue lived here, he would probably have to flee with a wolf.

Carefully avoiding the thick phlegm at the door, Zhou Mingyue followed the ground mouse into the house.

The eyes of the four men turned from the cards, and they all stared at Zhou Mingyue, as if they were getting off the horse.

"You're not going to be handcuffed, are you?"

The slightly stronger man at the head, but also with a big belly, and a shirtless man, asked in Jianghu dialect.

"I'm just a buyer, and I'll buy it when it's available."

Zhou Mingyue lifted the suitcase in his right hand and gestured, there was money in it.

Well, there is indeed money in it, the 100,000 yuan I took from the bank before, not much, but it is enough to buy a small piece of porous stone.

After all, this porous stone is not a real jadeite, and its real value lies in the number of holes on it and its naturalness, rather than weight and color.

The man in charge didn't say much, got up and went to the room to rummage a few times, then came over with a box and handed it to Zhou Mingyue: "Inspect the goods." ”

Zhou Mingyue opened the box, and there was a palm-sized stone lying inside, with some holes scattered on it, which looked strange.

Of course, his feelings were different from those of normal humans, and he could feel some special aura contained in this porous stone, as well as relevant information that came to his mind.

----------

A stone tainted by the breath of longevity has a small amount of power that interferes with the lifespan of a living being.

----------

A very short introduction to the information.

But Zhou Mingyue's eyes couldn't help but light up.

This porous stone really has some doorways!

No wonder those legends come out!

There's a reason for that.

But then again, the power possessed by this porous stone is at most to interfere with the life span of an old man who is about to ascend to heaven at the age of sixty or seventy, and for young and strong youth, its effect is very poor.

As for Zhou Mingyue, there is almost no threat at all.

Of course, even so, it is a rare treasure in this technological society.

Otherwise, it would not have been possible to fetch such a high price just because of its beautiful porous shape.

Well, it's just that the power of this porous stone is not easy to manipulate, and if you are not careful, you will cut off your lifespan, but the gains outweigh the losses.

In short, this stone is genuine.

Zhou Mingyue unlocked the code of the suitcase and handed it to the man in charge for inspection.

Seeing the money in the suitcase and counting it quickly, the men couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Obviously, the deal was successful, and they could spend some time again.

Otherwise, just squatting here, drinking beer, eating instant noodles, really wants to die.

But just as Zhou Mingyue turned to leave, a hand reached out to his shoulder: "Brother, stop, there are still things that haven't been clarified?" ”

There is no doubt that after receiving the payment of 100,000 yuan, these men had thoughts in their hearts that they should not have.

This is not surprising, if you can leave the porous stone behind, it is equivalent to making another extra profit.

After all, even if it is used as a prop for the next transaction, it is fine.

But what they never expected was that when the leader man put one hand on the other party's shoulder, and the rest of the people surrounded him, the leader man moved.

He flew to the wall in an instant, banged, hit his head and bled out, and slid down against the wall.

After that, the men who surrounded him probably couldn't tell the difference between the southeast and the northwest, and they were pushed to the ground by Zhou Mingyue one by one, lying unconscious on the ground.

Only the ground mouse that led the way, Zhou Mingyue didn't hit him for the time being, but when he saw the other party walking towards him, the ground mouse instantly knelt down, lying on the ground and kowtowing again and again, not even daring to say a word.

"Alright, I'll ask you something."

Zhou Mingyue spoke, and saw that the other party seemed to be a little stunned, so he slapped him to his senses.

To say that the rat was so frightened that he honestly told everything, but the most crucial information, where the porous stone was dug up, he did not know.

In desperation, Zhou Mingyue could only bring a basin of cold water and pour it on the head of the man in charge to make him sober.

Fortunately, he had considered this problem before, so his shot was not too heavy.

Otherwise, this living room would have been littered with corpses.

After understanding his situation, the man in charge said everything he knew very happily.

The porous stone was not dug up by him, but he snatched it from someone else.

"Lead the way!"

Zhou Mingyue said viciously, but he was worried that the man in charge or the ground mouse would come out after the moths came out, so he went to the kitchen and brought out a rusty bone chopping knife from the kitchen.

This boning knife is so heavy that even rust does not affect its heaviness.

Seeing Zhou Mingyue coming out with a bone chopping knife, both the man and the ground mouse were stupid at this time, thinking that Zhou Mingyue was going to kill people and kill them, and chop the two of them to destroy the corpses.

But the next moment, Zhou Mingyue's left hand grabbed the back of the bone chopping knife, grabbed it gently, and then threw the bone chopping knife in front of the two of them.

I saw that the bone chopping knife was shocked to leave a few clearly visible finger prints, and the finger prints were almost going through the entire back of the knife.

This bone chopping knife seemed to have lost its due hardness in front of Zhou Mingyue's fingers and turned into tofu.

In this way, where did these two people dare to have any crooked thoughts, they went out honestly, took a taxi, and rushed to the suburbs with Zhou Mingyue.

No way, no matter how backbone they are, no matter how much they are rats in the gray area, they are also people.

In their opinion, how can people compete with monsters?

There is no doubt that Zhou Mingyue, who easily almost pinched out a few holes in the back of the knife, is a monster!

I found the right person on this trip.

Zhou Mingyue soon found the true owner of the porous stone, an old farmer who looked covered in slag.

This old farmer is honest on the surface, but in fact he is engaged in the activity of stealing and digging porous stones.

Of course, it's normal for a guy like him to be bullied by ground rats.

Just casually make a report phone call can scare the old farmer half to death.

After all, the old peasant is a well-known figure in the local area, and he is half-cut into the ground, where can he escape to?

If Zhou Mingyue went alone, the old farmer would definitely not pay attention to him, and even pretended to be deaf and dumb.

But with the arrival of two guys who knew everything about him, the old farmer could only honestly take Zhou Mingyue to his own excavation site.

Well, if you want to talk about this theft and excavation location, Zhou Mingyue really didn't expect it.

It is a cave located on the outskirts of Shoushan, not even within the scope of the scenic area.

The old farmer had been digging in this cave since 20 years ago, and had dug a long underground passage.

The porous stone was excavated at the time of the formation of the underground passage.

Looking at the cave that was almost invisible covered by vines, Zhou Mingyue also had to sigh at the old farmer's shrewdness, cunning and persistence.

To say that most people really don't have that idle time, so much time to spend on this.

Zhou Mingyue asked the old farmer and the two ground mice to walk in front, so as not to have any traps inside.

Although even if he is buried in the ground, with his current physique, he will not die for more than ten days, but if thousands of tons of stones are really thrown down, then he may really have to give up this body, and even the life magic of the Eyeless Stone may not be able to repair the body under the pressure.

Of course, if the old farmer is willing to die together, he has no choice but to admit it.

The underground passage is very low, everyone can only walk bent over, and there is no torch to illuminate, and some are just flashlights in the hands of old farmers.

Of course, with Zhou Mingyue's current eyesight, even without that flashlight, he can probably see the environment in the passage clearly.

The sandstone structure, mixed with some small particles of quartz crystals, looks a little gorgeous under the reflection of the flashlight.

But as he continued to move forward, Zhou Mingyue could feel that the special aura became more and more intense.

There is no doubt that this time he stepped on shit, and he was lucky enough to find the location of the longevity stone for the first time.

You know, he had planned to delay in this Shoushan City for a few more days, and find a few more poachers to ask for directions.

No matter how long the underground passage is, no matter how difficult it is to walk, it finally comes to an end.

Here, you can faintly see some of the holes left in the stone.

Obviously, this is where porous stone comes from.

Zhou Mingyue looked at the old farmer and the other two, and suddenly made a move to knock the three unconscious.

What he was going to do next was not meant to be seen by outsiders.

After knocking the three men unconscious, he dragged the three men far from the end, and when he returned to the end of the passage, he immediately lifted the pickaxe brought by the old peasant, and suddenly exerted his whole body, and dug down the stone wall fiercely.

The pickaxe suddenly sank into the rock wall, digging a piece of sandstone down.

However, as Zhou Mingyue's movements became faster and faster, the pickaxe could no longer withstand the destruction of the huge force, and the iron handle suddenly broke after making a crisp sound.

Even the pickaxe was broken, Zhou Mingyue was also very helpless, he had to activate the bloodline, turned his hands into claws, and grabbed towards the stone wall.

To say that under the protection of the power of the bloodline, both hands can easily grasp the stone wall, and pull down the mountain rocks at a faster speed.

It is at least five or six times faster than with a pickaxe.

But this is also a huge drain on the power of the bloodline.

With Zhou Mingyue's current strength at the peak of the Great Knight, in just ten minutes, the light and flames on his body dissipated. Diagram of the Avenue of the Heavens
