However, when they slept until midnight, Ye Wudao and the others heard a few gunshots in the distance, and since it was night, the gunshots were still relatively clear and audible, and they woke up the three of them at once.

If it was a hunter, what kind of neurotic hunter would hunt in the middle of the night? The gunfire just now was definitely unusual, but because the gunfire was far away from where they were, and it was night, Ye Wudao and they didn't know what was going on at all.

After three gunshots, the mountain returned to tranquility, it was more like someone hunting wild beasts, but Ye Wudao was sure that it would definitely not be the hunter's shot just now.

At this moment, there was a camp in the north of Ye Wudao, and I saw Song Yuhan's third uncle Song Tianqi and a few people roasting around the bonfire, and there were some wild boar meat roasting on the fire.

There was a man in camouflage with an automatic rifle in his hand, and it seemed that he had caused the gunshot, and it was supposed that a wild boar had accidentally broken into their camp, so he shot and killed him.

The wild boars in the 100,000 mountains are not ordinary small wild boars, these wild boars are huge, even the buffalo of the farmer can be easily bitten to death by these wild boars, just now the man in camouflage clothes fired three shots at the wild boar, which killed the wild boar that accidentally broke into their camp.

It turned out that Ye Wudao saw Song Tianqi in the car the day before yesterday, it was not that he was dazzled, that person was indeed Song Tianqi, but I don't know why he appeared in this 100,000 mountain.

"Third Master Song, this beast was really big enough just now, even the army was almost overturned by him, and the strength of this beast is afraid that it will not be hundreds of catties. ”

A fat man sitting by the campfire, wearing a pair of small glasses on his face, looked at the squeaky wild boar meat that was roasted on top of the fire, and said to Song Tianqi with some palpitations.

"You have to be as careful as possible, it's not safe in this mountain, and there are soldiers, try not to shoot if you can, I don't want to cause any trouble, you know?" Song Tianqi said to them.

"I know, Song Sanye, I'll pay attention next time. The soldier put the gun away and pulled a sharp dagger from inside his boot in response.

Inside the tent, there was a slender woman wearing a tight-fitting sports vest, studying a drawing in her hand, and she was drawing a strange symbol on it with a pen.

At this time, Song Tianqi bent down from outside her tent, walked to her side, looked at the drawing in her hand with her, and asked her, "Dr. Lan, how is the drawing cracked? Is there any new progress?"

"Third Master Song, take a look at this pattern, this pattern I deciphered from this ancient drawing, it is the same pattern I have seen in the holy scriptures. ”

Lan Xin opened a thick book, she turned to a page and handed it to Song Tianqi to see, only to see that there was a hand-drawn pattern on the page, this pattern was circular, the outer edge was a large circle, and the middle was a small circle, the small circle looked like a fire, and the big circle had seven zigzag lines connected to the small circle.

"This pattern looks like some kind of ancient totem, maybe it has something to do with the mysterious power we're looking for this time," Lan Xin said.

"Dr. Lan, this is not a totem, nor is it mysterious, this is a seal. The more Song Sanye looked at it, the more he felt that this pattern was a little familiar, and suddenly he seemed to think of something and said to Lan Xin.

"What stamp?" Lan asked, puzzled.

In March 1914, Yuan Shikai secretly sent his confidant Hong Fang to lead a force into the 100,000 Mountains to find the mysterious power to help him consolidate the position of president, but until Yuan Shikai died, Hong Fang did not appear. ”

"It is rumored that at that time, Hong Fang did not help Yuan Shikai find the so-called mysterious power at all, but went overseas. There is also another version, saying that Hong Fang and the troops he led have all died in the 100,000 mountains, and this pattern is the stamp stamped in the secret letter written by Yuan Shikai to Hong Fang back then. ”

Song Tianqi said.

"Third Master Song, I remember that the Great President's seal doesn't seem to be like this?" Dr. Lan said with confusion.

"Hehe, this is not the seal of the Great Presidential Palace, this is the seal of the Yuan family, it's normal for you not to know, because this matter was kept secret at the time, and few people knew about it. Song Tianqi said.

"Song Sanye, does that mean that Hong Fang did bring people into this 100,000 mountain back then. Lan Xin obviously also knew Song Sanye's ability, and there was nothing to doubt that Song Sanye could know about these secret things back then.

"I don't know, but I think our goal should be the same, okay, Dr. Lan, the wild boar meat outside has been roasted, do you want to come out and eat some?" Song Tianqi said to her.

"No, I'm not hungry, I'll have to study it a little longer. Lan Xin is already obsessed with this story, and she intends to continue to uncover more secrets.

"Alright then, Dr. Lan, remember to rest early, we'll have to go early tomorrow morning. Song Tianqi said a word to her and left her tent.

Song Tianqi did not come to travel to these 100,000 mountains, but to find clues to that mysterious thing, what he didn't know was that Ye Wudao was also collecting medicine in these 100,000 mountains.

At dawn the next day, Ye Wudao and the others packed up their things, and under the leadership of Lao Huang, after two hours of trekking through mountains and rivers, they finally came to the leprosy valley that Lao Huang said.

The entrance to this leprosy valley is all a dense maple forest, at a glance, it looks like a red ocean, it looks so strange and beautiful, but it feels so weird, because this season is not the season when the maple leaves are red, and according to Lao Huang, the maple leaves of this maple forest are like this all year round.

There must be demons when things go wrong, often the more beautiful the place, the more dangerous it is, if some people don't know the roots, as soon as they come in, they will often be confused by this beautiful maple forest.

Because there is a miasma in this maple forest, the more you go inside, the more dense the miasma becomes, and even people can't see the direction clearly, and it is easy for people to get lost in this red maple forest and lose their lives.

Lao Huang had strayed into this place once last time, causing him to almost die, and it still makes him palpitate, he looked at this maple forest and was really a little worried, and he didn't really want to go in, but when he thought of the triple pay, it could be worth his income for several years, and he gritted his teeth, took out the juice he had made before, and smeared it on his nostrils, and then squatted down, and smeared some on his old hound's nostrils.
