Chapter 727: Niukou Mountain
Everyone quickly collected the supplies, or Lao Ruan led the way, and headed towards the Wumu Mountain Opening Bureau, before opening the road, Lin'er released the search Gu,.
The Gu Xun went back and forth every twenty minutes, but every time Lin'er got the information, there were indeed footprints of the stalkers within a radius of twenty miles, but there was no figure of them.
By the time the sun rises in the east and the rainforest enters daylight again, even the footprints of the trackers are gone.
In such a situation, it is indeed difficult to reassure people, not afraid of the sudden appearance of the enemy, for fear that they will hide too deeply, and now I even suspect that the other party may have already set up an ambush circle to interrupt and suddenly kill us when we are most inadvertent.
He Wenqin was more optimistic than me, and when he passed by a hill, he jokingly said: "The people who followed us will not have been confused in the woods, maybe they have fallen into the swamp." ”
Speaking of which, it's not that it's useless, but the probability is very low, in my opinion, since the other party dares to follow up, he must be completely prepared, and it is unlikely that he will get lost so easily.
Along the way, I also found several ideal ambush spots, but the other party never showed any traces, and it would only be a waste of time to set up an ambush rashly.
Every time he walked, Lao Ruan would find a tree and cut it, the knife should not be too heavy, but the knife marks must be obvious enough, and the angle of the knife should also be more particular, so as to make the appearance of secretly leaving traces.
With these codes, it is said that the stalker should follow even if he is a fool, but Ke Lin'er's Gu search just can't find their traces.
Seven days later, the team arrived at the depression I had been looking at, a dead land that had just begun to take shape, the vegetation in it was still vigorous, but it was no longer growing, and the branches and leaves were beginning to fall off in large areas, and when you looked over the rainforest, you could see a large gap between the trees.
Combined with the accumulation of filthy gas in this place, it is estimated that in another three or four years, it will form a swamp hidden under fallen leaves.
Filth can hide our breath, vegetation can hide our presence, and this is a great ambush spot.
Even if the tracker still didn't appear, I still decided to let everyone sneak in, Bai Laogou and Gu Granny made arrangements in the depression, and Lao Ruan left a lot of codes around the depression, as long as the other party went in, we will do it.
But we toiled in the depression for a whole day, and the stalkers still didn't show up.
Now I also muttered in my heart, the people who followed us would not really get lost, I remember that the night when they were stationed by the river, they might have run ahead of us, and it was not completely impossible for them to get lost in the woods without Lao Ruan to show them the way.
He Wenqin raised his hand to wipe the rain and sweat on his face, lowered his body and leaned over to me and said, "We people are all old arms and legs, and it's not a way to stay up like this, I think it's better to withdraw." ”
The dampness and heat of the forest were overwhelming, and now it was raining again, and now everyone's clothes were sticky and muddy. In an environment like this, it is indeed easy to have problems after staying for a long time.
I asked Lin'er to spill out the Gu search to probe the situation, and learned that the stalker still hadn't shown up, so I could only take everyone out first.
Out of the depression, I counted with Bai Laogou again, and decided to go to the Wumu Mountain Opening Bureau to see the situation first.
This depression is two or three miles away from the Wumu Mountain Bureau, and the terrain in this area is undulating, the road is not easy to walk, and the trackers can't walk fast, if they appear, we will have time to come back and set up an ambush.
Out of the depression to the northwest direction, there is a relatively high mountain, Lao Ruan originally wanted to walk around the mountain, I see that the vegetation on the mountain is relatively lush, even if we climb to the top of the mountain, people in the distance can not see us, so let Lao Ruan take us from the side of the mountain to climb to the top of the mountain, so that we can take a closer look at the specific situation of the Wumu Mountain Opening Bureau.
As soon as I got up the mountain, the rain that lasted for most of the day stopped, and I quickly took out my binoculars while the sun was shining.
In fact, there are many kinds of Wumu Kaishan Bureau, and the effect is not the same depending on the layout. The north is a relatively high mountain, the mountain is a relatively gentle vegetation layer to the south, and then to the south, it is a dense forest, from south to north, the terrain is getting lower and lower, but the dense forest blocking the wind outlet suppresses the terrain, and forms a relatively closed feng shui bureau.
When I looked at it in the sky before, I didn't find anything abnormal, but now standing on the top of the mountain, my eyes have moved down compared to when I took the helicopter, and I found that there are two inconspicuous small mountain bags on the north side of the Wumu Mountain Bureau, and those two small mountain bags are pressed at the small foot of the high mountains in the north.
There seems to be a crack at the bottom of the mountain, and I can't see it clearly because the vegetation blocks the view, but I can only see the blue-gray color of the stone in the gap in the vegetation, and I guess there is an underground rift there for the time being.
Lin'er handed over a bottle of water, and I didn't have the heart to reach out to take it, but I just put down my glasses and carefully checked the overall shape of the northern mountains.
The two bulging hills at the foot of the mountain are connected in the middle, and from a distance, they look like a protruding bull's nose. At this glance, the mountain looks like a cow's face with a sharpened head, and the crack under the mountain is like a slightly open cow's mouth.
Thinking of this, I immediately took out the rhinoceros skin that I had taken out of the wooden pendant before, unfolded it and looked at it, and the words written on it came into view very clearly: "Inverting Niukou Mountain, Eight Town Dragon Boxes." ”。
The mountain in front of you is Niukou Mountain!
I suddenly became excited, and I couldn't help but shout at the white old dog: "The old mansion of the Jin family must be near here!" ”
He Wenqin and Bai Lao Dog ran over like a gust of wind, and I held a rhinoceros skin in one hand and pointed to Niukou Mountain with the other for them to see.
The old white dog looked at the rhinoceros skin and the mountains in the distance repeatedly, and after a while asked me, "Where did you get these feng shui inheritances?" ”
I smiled and said, "Part of it is from the family, and the other part is from Ma Sanbao." ”
"Ma Sanbao?" Bai Laogou was a little suspicious: "Is that Ma Sanbao in the Northeast?" But I remember that he was a fortune teller and didn't know Feng Shui. ”
"It's not him."
I don't know who Ma Sanbao is in Bai Laogou's mouth, but I am very sure that the Ma Sanbao he said and the Ma Sanbao in my mouth are definitely not the same person.
Ma Sanbao is the name used by Zheng He.
He Wenqin couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart, and urged me to quickly take him to find He Jiayun's whereabouts, but now everyone is very tired, I can only appease He Wenqin first, and let everyone eat something first, and rest in place for an hour.
Later, I found out that just thinking about it without any basis could not sort out the ideas at all. After everyone had rested, I decided to go to Beishan to check the situation first, and maybe I could find something.
Between the low mountain where we are located and the Niukou Mountain, there is a wet swamp covered by vegetation, which is very difficult to walk, but fortunately, Lao Nguyen has a lot of experience and can often find hidden swamps, so we can reach our destination safely.
There is indeed an underground rift valley at the foot of Niukou Mountain, and the valley walls on both sides of this rift valley seem to have been artificially polished, and there is not even a place to borrow strength on the bare wall, and it cannot go down at all.
He Wenqin was a little anxious, and repeatedly asked me if the old house of the Jin family was under the rift, and I could only tell the truth: "I can't be sure for the time being, let's take a look around now and see the situation." ”
I guess if I had told him openly at that time that the Jin family's old mansion was at the bottom of the rift, he would have jumped straight down if he couldn't figure it out.
Not kidding, He Wenqin does have such ability.
In order to save time, all the soldiers were divided into two routes, Lao Ruan and He Wenqin and I investigated the situation around the rift valley, and Bai Laogou and they went up the mountain.
The north bank of the rift was a bare rock, there was nothing to see, and the south bank was a large area of vegetation as far as the eye could see, and it was impossible to see if there was something buried underneath.
Lao Ruan was in charge of opening the way in front with a machete, and I followed behind him, carefully checking the situation around me while chanting the five words "Reverse Niukou Mountain".
How to reverse Niukou Mountain? Could it be that we can turn the whole mountain over?
After walking for about two or three hundred meters, Lao Ruan suddenly stopped, raised his knife and pointed at a low tree in front of him and shouted: "There seems to be a road there!" ”
He Wenqin was anxious, took a vertical step, instantly surpassed Lao Ruan, and went straight to the front.
Look at He Wenqin's light body kung fu, more powerful than Lao Chen of Shantang, Lao Chen's body style is exquisite, once the cloud step is deployed, the body shape is unpredictable like a ghost, He Wenqin's light skill is more agile and elegant, as soon as the footwork is opened, it is like a floating cloud falling into the forest, and it is difficult to find its trace with the naked eye.
Lao Ruan couldn't help but exclaim: "In the past few years, Lao He's skills have become more and more refined. ”
He Wenqin has already disappeared, I was afraid that something would happen to him, so I gratefully pulled Lao Ruan to chase after him.
To say that Lao Ruan's eyes are really sharp, I walked forward more than a hundred meters, only to see a stone road covered with ferns, the end of the road was blocked by a vine branch, He Wenqin was holding it at this time, cutting the vine branch little by little.
He Wenqin heard the footsteps of me and Lao Ruan, and turned around and shouted: "There is a doorway here, and it seems to be a secret passage inside!" ”
I glanced towards the place covered by the vine branches, and then moved my gaze upwards to the distant mountain, the road was due south and north, and my eyes moved straight up, just in time to see the tip of Niukou Mountain.
Inverting Niukou Mountain...... I seem to understand the meaning of these five words.
"That's it!" He Wenqin suddenly screamed with joy.
When I looked over to him, I saw that a gap had been cut in the vine branches, and a two-meter-high arched doorway came into view.
