The next day, Broken Chen got up on time at seven o'clock, woke up Wu Xie and Lao Qi, and the three of them each carried more than 20 kilograms of equipment and dry food, and began to march towards Qinling.

The Qinling Mountains are known as the largest dragon veins in China, and the Qinling Mountains in Shaanxi Province are distributed in the form of peaks and waists, with several mountain ranges on the east and west wings. Mountains and basins are alternately arranged, and there are many rivers that cut deep into the mountains. Eight hundred miles of Qinchuan since ancient times is a famous place of cultural relics and historic sites, especially on the north slope there are many imperial tombs, and the tombs of other dignitaries and nobles, rich and gentry are even more countless, so this is always the place where tomb robbers flock to it.

Wu Xie and Lao Qi had been to Qinling a few times before, but every time they came, they followed the tour guide, and they couldn't recognize the road at all. Not to mention Broken Chen, he has hardly traveled since he was a child, and the mountains in tourist attractions seem to him to be basically the same, and it is completely impossible for him to lead the way. So after discussing it, the three of them decided to follow the tour group first.

After getting on the bus, it takes about three hours to drive through the Xibao Expressway to Changyang Mountain in Baoji, Shaanxi, and then turns to the source of the Jialing River.

Usually take a straight road, this mountain road takes a small turn in five seconds, a big turn in ten seconds, and it didn't take long for Wu Xie to be dizzy, and his head was on the seat in front of him, only to feel that his internal organs were churning.

The old itch is even worse, he has been in prison for three years and has not been in a car, he is about to vomit out of his gall and sweat along the way, and he still says something in his mouth: "Old, useless, when I walked this road three years ago, I could still talk to the girls on the side, but I didn't expect that this time I couldn't even open my eyelids." ”

Wu Xie was also tossed enough, and when he heard the old itch complaining, he couldn't help but scold: "Why are you so fucking nonsense!" Who told you not to go on the highway, you have to take the sheep intestine winding mountain road, and now I regret that there is a fart. Lao Itch didn't have the strength to argue with him, and waved his hand to show that he didn't want to talk.

Broken Chen didn't have any effect, but this trip was really uncomfortable.

There is no way, the inverted bucket itself is a chore, from beginning to end you have to suffer and suffer, and you will lose your life at every turn, who makes this a high-risk industry that is not visible.

At this time, an explosion suddenly came from a distance, which shook the window glass and caused a commotion among the people in the car.

Wu Xie looked out the window and saw that the mountain opposite was covered with dust. Old Itch was also taken aback: "What's the matter?" It's an earthquake! ”

A middle-aged man who looked like a local in front of him turned around and said with a smile: "Two people from other places, don't you know this?" It was someone who was blowing up the tomb, and there were always two or three shots a day in this season. ”

Wu Xieqi said: "In broad daylight, this tomb robber is so bold? ”

The middle-aged man grinned, revealing a mouth full of yellow teeth: "The mountain opposite is not the same as this mountain, don't look at the Jialing River in the middle, there is a winding mountain road on our side, but there is no place to walk there." Even if you call the police now, it will take at least a day and a night for the police to get there, unless you can grow wings and fly over, otherwise you can only stare dryly. ”

Wu Xie was speechless: "There is still such a thing? ”

The middle-aged man looked at the place of the explosion and said with a smile: "This is also the characteristic of our place, especially now that this season is the most, and we caught a bunch of them two days ago." Now there are fewer and fewer ancient tombs, and it will be a good toss in a few years, and there may still be a little in the mountains, but the road is too difficult to walk, and the government can only let it go. But looking at the movement just now, I'm afraid that there is too much explosives. ”

The middle-aged man was very enthusiastic, and he couldn't stop the topic as soon as he opened it, so he chatted with Wu Xie and Lao Itchy.

Broken Chen listened quietly on the side, thinking about the origin of the bronze divine tree in his heart. It stands to reason that a low-risk world like Tomb Robbery Notes shouldn't have an artifact of the level of zài, but it does.

And according to the records in the original book, the existence of this bronze sacred tree is definitely not short, the earliest can be traced back to the Shang Dynasty more than 3,000 years ago, and even earlier Xia Dynasty. However, it was absolutely impossible for the metallurgical technology at that time to cast such a huge bronze vessel, so it is likely that this bronze sacred tree had already existed before that. Based on this conclusion, the origin of this bronze god tree may be said to be in the ancient flood era.

That era was the origin of all myths and legends, and many legendary stories of saints and immortals began to appear at that time.

"Could it be that this bronze sacred tree is an artifact left behind by some saint?" Broken Chen thought with some uncertainty. If it were before, he would never believe that there would be saints, gods, and Buddhas in this world. However, since the experience of encountering the god of death, he has learned that in some areas that ordinary people are far beyond reach, there are indeed gods who only circulate in legends, and they each control a world, which is undesirable and unattainable for human beings.

"I hope there won't be any accidents when I get to the Bronze God Tree, but I guess it's unlikely, so the damn guardian consciousness won't let it go, it's really troublesome." Broken Chen rubbed his temples with a headache.

Wu Xie saw that Duan Chen's face was a little sad, and asked him, "Are you okay?" ”

Broken Chen shook his head to indicate that it was okay, then leaned his head against the glass window and continued to be in a daze. Wu Xie didn't care, and continued to chat with the middle-aged man. But Lao Itch has been secretly observing Broken Chen, and he doesn't know what idea he is playing in his head.

The car drove for another hour and finally arrived at the foot of Taibai Mountain. Wu Xie and Lao Qi, who were still full of confidence when they came, were like frosted eggplants at this time, completely wilted, and had no strength to continue into the mountain. I had to stay in the small farmhouse hotel introduced by the middle-aged man, and I was going to rest for the night.

The three of them returned to the room after dinner, and Duan Chen sat alone by the window, holding the ancient sword brought out of the tomb of King Lu, and slowly wiping it. This ancient sword is quite easy to use, but after being sucked away by the jade armor, it is no longer as sharp as it begins.

Wu Xie also sat to the side with nothing to do, learning from the appearance of Broken Chen, and carefully wiping his short-handled ancient knife. Ever since he killed the sea monkey in the underwater tomb, Wu Xie had almost always carried a short-handled ancient knife with him, as he had gradually felt the benefits of his growing strength.

Lao Itch flipped through the map alone, kept writing and drawing on it, planning the route of tomorrow. When he came three years ago, he was led by a veteran of his peers, but this time there was no one to lead the way, so he could only rely on him to grope around with his memory little by little.

It's a pity that because of the side effects of materialization, Lao Itchy's memory is declining, and he forgot a lot of things about the operation three years ago, and he didn't decide how to take the specific route for a long time.

"Alas... It seems that you still have to go to the cottage and find the local villagers to guide the way, otherwise you will be miserable if you get lost in the mountains. The depressed old itch put down the map, turned his head to look at Duan Chen and Wu Xie, and found that they were still wiping their weapons there, and secretly scolded the two of them for their abnormal brains.

Lao Qi walked to the window, about to open the window to breathe, when he saw that a few people outside were a little familiar, and hurriedly patted Wu Xie and said softly: "Old Wu, look, who is that person below?" ”

Wu Xie glanced out the window and saw five people coming in from the courtyard of the farmhouse under the window, which was indeed somewhat familiar. On closer inspection, they found that one of them was the same old man they had met at a roadside stall in Xi'an.

Wu Xie muttered in his heart: "Why are these people here too, shouldn't they really tell Lao Itch, they are also here to step on the plate?" ”

Lao Itch closed the curtains, leaving only a gap, and then whispered: "These guys are also big bags and small bags, and they are like thieves with us, should they have heard us talk in Xi'an at that time, and wanted to follow us to find a chance to cut off their beards?" ”

Wu Xie didn't answer, but carefully observed the people through the gap in the curtain, and saw the proprietress here walk out, and welcomed them into the hotel with a smile.

"It's not like, you see the proprietress talking and laughing with them, it seems to be very familiar, it is estimated that these people often come here, and they are regular customers. It shouldn't have been chasing us, maybe it just happened to meet us. Wu Xie asserted.

"That's not good, they've already heard us speak in Xi'an, if they let them see us here, they won't suspect us, right?" Old Itch is still a little worried.

A broken Chen who didn't open his mouth put down the ancient sword in his hand, walked to the window and glanced at it, thought for a while and said, "They came just in time, let's just follow them quietly tomorrow." ”

Old Itch retorted without even thinking about it: "These people are all outlaws, and it is completely inappropriate to kill people!" If they are discovered, they may be killed, which is too risky. ”

Broken Chen glanced back at Old Itch, knowing that he didn't want to make any extraneous branches, but Broken Chen had his own plans, so he insisted: "These people often come to Qinling to fight, they must be familiar with the way, and we can avoid detours if we follow them." ”

Lao Itch still wanted to persuade again, but Wu Xie next to him smiled: "When did you kid become such a mother-in-law, I think what Duanchen said is right, these people are all veterans, and the tomb they are looking for is definitely not a small tomb, as long as we follow them, maybe picking up a leak will be enough for us to gain this trip." And it's all deep mountains and old forests, so we don't want to be found so easily if we are careful, even if we do, we just need to run quickly. ”

Lao Itch heard Wu Xie say this, and he didn't have anything to refute for a while, so he could only ask what he meant with his eyes, and Duanchen didn't answer, just stretched out his hand and pointed to his head.

The old itch raised his eyebrows, closed his mouth in understanding, and acquiesced to the plan to follow.

Wu Xie looked strange, and asked the two what kind of dumb riddles they were playing, and they were fooled by the old itch.

After making a plan, the three of them quickly got their things ready, then set their alarm clocks and went to sleep. Because I have to follow those people on the mountain road in the next few days, it is estimated that there will be no way to rest well, so I have to recuperate as much as possible now.
