The young man let Lao Liu Tou and Zhang Guozhong into the courtyard, and at this time, a middle-aged woman walked out of the house and looked the two people up and down, "Are you Mr. Zhang and Mr. Liu?" "It seems that this Song Kuan must have explained to his family when he left.

"Exactly, I don't know Mr. Song and Mr. Qin..." The two followed the woman into the house, and found that this Song Kuan didn't seem to be a fuel-efficient lamp, and the messy baby was no worse than the items in Lao Liutou's house.

"He and Professor Qin went to Wang Lao's, for the past two days, I went out every day, and I don't know where I went, but I will definitely come back in the evening, let's sit down first." Zhang Guozhong learned that this Mr. Song Kuan is an expert from the Bureau of Surveying and Mapping of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and Song Kuan's ancestor is the famous Ming Dynasty scientist Song Yingxing (the author of "Tiangong Kaiwu"), and there is a family tree to be found in the family, the young man just now is named Song Lei, who is Song Kuan's son, and Song Kuan also has a daughter who is studying at Stanford University in the United States.

"Bureau of Surveying and Mapping of the Chinese Academy of Sciences?" It was the first time Lao Liu had heard of such an institution.

"Yes, that's my husband's workplace, and the height of Mount Everest is what they measured." The lady accosted, "This time, Mr. Qin brought a photo of an ancient map, and my husband couldn't get it for sure, so in addition to running to the suburbs in the past two days, I went to Wang's hometown." ”

"Elder Wang, who is it?" Zhang Guozhong didn't know anything about Qin Ge's complex relationship network.

"Oh, he is my husband's enlightenment teacher, an expert of the Chinese Geographical Society, and now retired." The lady seems to be from a famous family, and her demeanor and conversation have the temperament of a lady, "Lei Lei, quickly pour tea for the guests..."

In the evening, Qin Ge and a middle-aged man opened the door and entered the house, just in time for Zhang Guozhong to stand in the courtyard.

"Oh! This must be Zhang Guozhong Zhang Zhangjiao! The middle-aged man has a large number of Zhang Guozhong up and down, "Zhang Zhangjiao, look up for a long time!" Professor Qin has already told me about your deeds. This is Liu Fengyan's senior, right? It's like thunder! ”

"Thunderbolt?" Lao Liu Tou was also very surprised by Song Kuan's words.

"Spring Mountain Travel Map, is it your collection?" Song Kuan seems to be an expert, "My master often mentions you, I heard that you will come to my house in two days, and I hope I can introduce you to the second elder!" ”

"Hello, you are... Song expert? Zhang Guozhong didn't know what to call this immortal of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

"What kind of expert is not an expert, just a grass people..."Song Kuan was quite modest, "The two of you came just in time, today we have a major breakthrough!" Several people entered the room, and Song Kuan took out a huge map from a large special backpack and spread it out on the table.

"Look, you two, this is a map of the mountain range based on satellite photos of the Yanshan Mountains." Song Kuandao, "The entire Yanshan Mountain Range, including Xishan, Badaling, and Xiangshan within Beijing, are all here, but we have not found any similarities with the ancient map, only two similarities, which have been ruled out by Professor Qin and me." ”

Looking at this dazzling map, Zhang Guozhong has really gained a lot of knowledge, and it seems that science is indeed unconvinced.

"These days, Wang Lao checked the satellite map of the entire Yanshan Mountain Range and put forward a hypothesis." Qin Ge said, "Elder Wang thinks that the place marked on Zhao Kuncheng's map should be in Wuling Mountain. ”

"Fog Spirit Mountain?" Lao Liu Tou looked at Song Kuan, "There is a world of difference between this kind of hand-drawn map and this kind of satellite photo, your master, can you really be sure?" ”

"Actually, this is just a hypothesis, but Mr. Wang did find the consistent characteristics from it, Senior Liu, you see, here... And here..."Song Kuan took out the large version of the photo of the ancient map and pointed it out to Lao Liu Tou one by one, "There are many similarities here, if it is not Wuling Mountain, then here... And here... There is also a coincidence, but the greatest possibility is here..."

Everyone summed up, and Song Kuan was responsible for raising equipment, and they were scheduled to rush to Wuling Mountain in two days.

Two days later, the four of them chartered a crown taxi and rushed to Xinglong County, Hebei Province, this old crown is said to be a courtesy car eliminated by the previous state guest team, and it feels much more comfortable than the Volga driven by Zhang Guoyi. The driver's surname is Wu, a native of Daxing, and he is very real, and it only costs 400 yuan to negotiate a car for a week, which is much better than the black taxi that Zhang Guozhong and Lao Liu Tou sat in two days ago.

Hebei, Xinglong County.

After finding a hostel, a few people were introduced by the hostess of the hostel, and found a guide, called Li Ruixue, a car owner, and now sells mountain goods for a living, not tall, but very strong, and people are more realistic, I heard that taking a few people into the mountain will earn 200 yuan, and they simply don't even sell the mountain goods, and directly drove the car to the hotel courtyard, urging Zhang Guozhong and his party to set off quickly.

At the foot of Mount Wuling.

Wuling Mountain is the main peak of Yanshan, with an altitude of 2118 meters, it is not a national nature reserve at this time, most of the wild mountains have not yet been developed, except for the small mountain road that some mountain people have stepped on, there is basically no serious road. Halfway up the mountain, Zhang Guozhong put up a pergola and glanced around, "Mr. Song, how can there be a temple here?" ”

"Yes, I grew up in this mountain, and I have never heard of a temple on the mountain." Li Ruixue also followed.

"Zhang Zhangjiao, don't worry, there is still a day of mountain road from our destination, and it is too early to draw conclusions..."

After walking for about two hours, a few people came to a slightly leveler stone field, and it was getting late, and several people were ready to camp on the spot.

"Further ahead is Longtan, and we mountain people rarely go in." Li Ruixue said, "If you want to find that place, it's in Longtan, I don't know exactly where it is, we have to find it together." ”

"Master Li, are you sure you've never seen a temple in the mountains?" Zhang Guozhong wondered.

"No, this is a wild mountain, there is a temple, and there must be a monk, right? Several of us are in good shape, and we are tired from climbing the mountain this day, you say that if this monk lives in the mountain, how can he come out? What to eat? Li Ruixue analyzed vigorously, "Also, the place on the map, according to me, is not a mountain, but water..."

"Water? How could a temple be built in water? Qin Ge also sat down.

"Didn't I say there is no temple?" Li Ruixue sat down cross-legged, put the map under his feet, took out the baked cakes and pickles from his bag, and ate them in a big gulp, "This place on the map, if I am not mistaken, it should be Spoon Ridge, just in front, you can get there at noon tomorrow, you look at these two roads, from Spoon Ridge, this is not a road, it is water, and the bottom is Bailongtan, these two roads are called Bailonggou, they are all water, who has ever seen which monk repaired the temple in the water?" ”

"Didn't you say, I don't know?" Old Liu Tou spoke, "Why are you so sure?" ”

"I don't know, it's better than you haven't been, right?" Li Ruixue was not happy when she heard this, "I don't go into the mountains much now, but I grew up in the mountains since I was a child!" I still remember this thing...! But..."Li Ruixue seemed to remember something again.

"But what?" Old Liu Tou asked.

"The legend in this mountain is haunted, my cousin, when I was a child, I went up the mountain with my uncle to dig medicinal herbs, said that I saw three old monks standing in Longtan, I was scared enough, and told my uncle, my uncle didn't see anything, but my cousin just looked at the monks and smiled at him, and then my uncle also felt evil, and the medicine was not dug and came back, I don't know what the connection is with you about that temple..."

"Monk? In the lake? Zhang Guozhong thoughtfully......

The sky was getting darker, and Li Ruixue was too interested in Qin Ge's sleeping bag, "This thing... Okay... Brother Qin, where did you buy it, is it convenient to give me one? "Find a place, this will be given to you...!" Qin Ge was also happy, anyway, it would be quite troublesome to bring this thing back. "Medium! Brother Chong Qin, you said this, I have to help you find it even if I don't eat! "Li Ruixue is beautiful enough, why don't you invite Qin Ge out to lie down by yourself now.

As soon as everyone fell asleep, they were suddenly woken up by a piercing scream in Longtan, Li Ruixue and Song Kuan didn't feel anything, Zhang Guozhong, Lao Liu Tou and Qin Ge were in a cold sweat, this sound was nothing else, it was the "funeral" that I had heard in the Bashan Treasure Cave, that is, there was a sound of the French style that had not been cleaned before, and the evil thing reappeared.

"Zhang Zhangjiao!" Qin Ge hurriedly climbed out of his sleeping bag and pulled out a military dagger, "This voice, it seems to be..."

At this time, Song Kuan also picked up a stone casually when he saw this, looked around, and saw that there was darkness all around, and there was nothing.

"Zi Shi..." Zhang Guozhong looked at the sky and pulled out the dagger, "Why did we have something to do as soon as we came?" Master Li, has there ever been such a voice in the mountains before? ”

At this time, Li Ruixue was already scared into a paralyzed mud, "There is... Yes... I heard the old man say that this is Lord Yama blowing the trumpet, and as soon as this sound comes out, it means that Lord Yama wants to accept people... Mountain... There are dead people in the mountains... Let's hurry... Fast... Let's run..."

"The old man knows?" Zhang Guozhong looked around, and at the same time made do with Li Ruixue, "Has the old man heard it?" ”

"No... It's not just the elderly... Last time... A few people from my village came to the mountains to collect medicine... I heard this..."Li Ruixue kept drinking and drinking to strengthen his courage, "Four people... Only... Just ran back a... In less than three days... rotten to death..."

Zhang Guozhong took out his flashlight, looked at the map carefully, and found that he was still quite far away from the strange line, "This may not be that Zhao Mingchuanbu... It may be Zhao Kuncheng... Don't be afraid, that guy doesn't have much oil and water...! In fact, Zhang Guozhong said this, just to embolden everyone, after all, Zhao Kuncheng has been knocked down by himself and Lao Liu.

"What's that!?" Song Kuan seemed to see something, and couldn't help but take a few steps back, and bumped into Lao Liu's body.

Following Song Kuan's hand, a few beams of flashlights looked in the direction of Longtan, only to see a little white shadow under the tree about thirty or forty meters away.

"There seems to be something there..."Zhang Guozhong said, "Senior brother, you are here to protect everyone, I'll go over and take a look..." Zhang Guozhong picked up his bag and walked towards the big tree not far away.
