"There is a bit of drought here this year, and there is no snow all winter, if it was this time of year in previous years, the mountains would have been closed by heavy snow, and it is not easy to get in."

On the way here, Qiao Yuanjing heard them say that Fu Xiaojun was a local and knew the local situation very well, so he was not surprised to hear him say this.

They walked into a brick and earth house, which looked old, but it didn't look shabby, it was very bright and tidy.

The hostess had already prepared the meal, and when she saw them coming in, she hurriedly greeted them: "Coming?" Sit in the fast house. ”

Zhai Mo greeted her familiarly, and then introduced her, Qiao Yuanjing knew that she was Fu Xiaojun's aunt, so she also joined them and shouted: "Aunt Yun." ”

During the meal, they tacitly did not mention the matter of the mineral veins, and finished the meal in silence, Aunt Yun obviously didn't know why they went into the mountain, she seemed to be a diligent working woman, set the meal for them, and went to work again.

After eating, they said goodbye to Aunt Yun, and were told by Yin Yin again before walking to the mountain behind the village.

The mountain they had to climb was a wild mountain, and they had to climb several hills to reach the place where the group was stationed.

Zhai Mo handed Qiao Yuanjing a trekking pole and said, "We are a little short of time, this can save some effort." ”

Qiao Yuanjing took it and thanked him.

When entering the mountain, Fu Xiaojun opened the way first, and Zhai Mo followed last, faintly protecting Qiao Yuanjing in the middle.

The mountain road is a little narrow, and it is not easy to walk, but fortunately, Qiao Yuan is light and healthy, and there is no problem along the way.

Their feet were not slow, but by the time they reached their destination, the sun was already setting in the west.

The group was stationed in a valley with tents set up next to a fire that was not particularly burning, and three men were busy in the middle of the tents.

One of the short-haired girls, hearing the sound of their feet stepping on the dead grass, followed the sound and looked over, then her eyes lit up, and she put down what she was holding and came out: "Captain, you are here." ”

The other two also put down their things and came out.

Zhai Mo introduced it as usual, these people seemed to be easy-going, and even welcomed Qiao Yuanjing's arrival.

Regarding this, Qiao Yuanjing had dinner and listened to what the short-haired girl said.

"We are here, we have been staying for half a month, seeing that the Chinese New Year's Eve, everyone wants to go back early for the New Year, two days ago the captain heard Wang Jiu mention you, and went out from here to pick you up overnight."

The short-haired girl is named Zhou Zhijun, who looks thin and small, but in fact she is the descendant of Maoshan art, that is, the legendary Maoshan Taoist who can catch ghosts and subdue demons.

"Did you find any other clues?"

"No, we people say that we have a heritage, but only we know that we are all half-hangers, like our orthodox Mao family Taoism, which is almost lost." Zhou Zhijun sighed, her palm-sized face turned red against the backdrop of the bonfire.

"Didn't you say that you found traces of the formation?" Qiao Yuanjing turned his head and looked at Zhai Mo.

"Traces of suspected formations, we don't particularly understand this aspect, it's all speculation."

Qiao Yuanjing nodded thoughtfully.

When she came in, she found that there was indeed a fluctuation of the formation, and it was the fluctuation of the formation shock, that is, the formation was not broken, but was interfered by some external forces.

Qiao Yuanjing brought up this idea.

Immediately, someone replied: "Impossible, within a radius of ten miles, we have all investigated, and there is no abnormality." ”

Is there no anomaly?

Qiao Yuanjing looked around, it was already late at this time, even if she had the inheritance of the Heavenly Eye, her vision was greatly affected, and she could only wait for dawn to look again.

"Okay, everyone rest early, get up at dawn tomorrow, and go to investigate again." Zhai Mo got up and said.

The others had apparently gotten used to it and went back to their tents.

"Yuan Jing, this is yours." Zhai Mo patted the tent that had been set up next to him, and said with a smile: "Constant temperature tent, new technology." ”

Qiao Yuanjing thanked with a smile.

……

When it was dawn the next day, someone had already gotten up to wash, and Qiao Yuanjing also got up.

When the first rays of dawn shone through the sparse branches into the valley, Qiao Yuanjing was already standing on a small mound.

While she was pondering, there was a sound of footsteps behind her, and Qiao Yuanjing came back to her senses and saw Zhai Mo standing beside her.

"I think we've all overlooked a problem." Qiao Yuanjing's voice was not loud, but it shocked Zhai Mo: "What's the problem?" ”

"The layout is very strict, and the tolerance margin is very small, so when the formation stone is displaced, the formation will be affected."

"So?"

"Look over there." Qiao Yuanjing pointed to the cliff on the side: "This should be caused by geological movements." ”

Zhai Mo's eyes lit up: "You mean, the geological movement caused the displacement of the array stones, which caused the formation to oscillate?" The more he thought about it, the more he felt that the mountain range they were in was the Nanshan Mountain Range, and the geological movement had always been active, and Qiao Yuanjing's statement was completely defensible.

Qiao Yuanjing nodded: "This is just speculation, I still need to confirm it." ”

There is more than one formation that can have such an effect, and although there are already some guesses, it is better to confirm it.

She needed to find the location of the Formation Stone to determine what kind of formation it was. How big is the whole array? And then you can think about what's next.

Qiao Yuanjing walked to the edge of the cliff and felt the most obvious shock. Then he pointed to a certain layer of soil on the cliff.

"It is necessary to determine the age of this soil layer, and the height of this cliff every year." Qiao Yuanjing looked at Zhai Modao.

Everyone was helpless, Qiao Yuanjing had eyebrows as soon as she came, Zhai Mo was very happy, and quickly gathered everyone and told Qiao Yuanjing what he guessed.

The others were also clearly in good spirits, and they were afraid of spending time in this place indefinitely.

The pressure from the top is also increasing, and everyone feels very aggrieved to stay here, so Qiao Yuanjing saw the problem as soon as she came, and all of them were very happy.

These people are carefully selected by their teachers, and they are very strict with their character, and they are influenced by some traditional concepts, so they have deeply imprinted the virtue of humility in their bones, and they are not jealous of the virtuous.

Therefore, their cooperation was very positive, and after Zhai Mo finished speaking, they discussed it babblingly.

"We don't have any research on these cultural layers, so we need to find archaeological experts."

"It is estimated that it is enough for archaeological experts to come, where can I find the trajectory of human activities in the deep mountains and old forests here?"
