My heart is very confused, I have long known that the Gu girl is lurking, and the purpose is ominous, but now that I have found it, I have found even more terrifying information.

"By the way, that Gu Master, did you say he was already here?" After thinking about it, I asked.

If the tattooed man is a subordinate or apprentice of the Gu master, and the tattooed man indirectly dies at our hands, is the Gu master friend or foe?

If it's an enemy, it's dangerous.

Wang Shi doesn't know if it's because of his inadequacy, his strength, or if his essence is not bad, except for the tattooed man, has he killed anyone, but it is difficult to say who Gu Master Miao Jiang has come.

If the tattooed man is a very important person to him, he will kill him and our situation will be extremely dangerous.

Hu Lai sent him two letters, describing the characteristics of the Gu worm on his body, and he should have acted immediately after receiving the letter, so the second letter would be returned by the post office, because there was no such person.

It shows that he has already left the Gu Village at that time, and according to the time calculation, it is enough to go back and forth several times.

"It stands to reason that they didn't come." Hu Lai shook his head and said, "That Gu master has a relatively high status in their Gu village, and the tattooed man should be sent by him to fight the front station after he smells it; Otherwise, Wang may not be able to escape so easily; Wang killed the tattooed man, on the one hand, to get out of everyone's sight, and on the other hand, to kill the Gu Master's eyes and ears to obtain information, even if the Gu Master felt something afterwards, he had to start investigating again. ”

Cao Nan didn't care, and said: "Since it's a Miao person, then let's just be careful, outsiders are so dazzling, it's not so easy to find out the news."

I nodded, and that made sense.

"Okay, this matter can only end here now, take one step at a time, the important thing at the moment is still the matter on the mountain, we have been delayed for two days, tomorrow can not be late, some people are afraid that they have already gone up." Huang Mao diverted the topic and returned to his previous business.

"It's sunny these days, and tomorrow the east will be white, and we'll set off early." Hu Laidao.

Cao Nan and I nodded, Wang's matter is just an episode, and if it is not resolved, it can only be put away, and she will definitely appear again.

……

At noon, the Feng family was finally able to enter the ruins of Wang's house, they searched for a long time, did not find anything about the body, slowly left, went to the ancestral tomb in the afternoon, and began to move the ancestral tomb.

Cao Nan and I knocked on the shift at night, and I was still a little nervous, afraid that the Gu master behind the tattooed man would jump out, but nothing happened.

After knocking on the watch, we slept in our clothes, squinted for two hours, and when the east was white, we rode up the mountain on a tricycle. Although the temperature in the south is not high, it is wet and cold, and the cold wind blows on the body, and the cold body shiveres.

After two hours of turbulence and arrived at the north field, the already frozen snot bubbles came out.

I'm okay, I'm angry, Hu Lai is okay, I'm used to sleeping in the open with insects, Huang Mao and Cao Nan are almost stiff. Cao Nan repeatedly said that next time he was killed, he would not ride these three jumpers and drive a pickup truck.

After getting off the bus, we left the mountain road and began to trek to the main peak of Jinpenling, Jinpen Mountain, and had to rush back to knock on the watch at night, and the time was very tight.

Jinpen Mountain is basically an undeveloped semi-primeval forest area, full of mosquitoes and poisons, but ...... This was all solved by the cold winds of winter.

The leaves of the trees fell, the vision improved, and the mosquitoes, poisonous snakes, locusts, and other things that could eat people disappeared.

We climbed very fast, aiming for the place where the Jinpen Mountain collapsed.

Both Hu Lai and Huang Mao are very experienced in this kind of climbing, and can always lead us to find the easiest way to climb, but even so, we still use ropes and iron hooks, and in many places, there is no road at all.

At eight o'clock in the morning, we finally reached the point where we passed through the foothills and reached the bottom of the mountain.

"Someone is ahead of us!" As he walked, Huang Mao's face changed slightly, but he did not squat down, but walked forward quickly.

We didn't know why, but we immediately followed, and found that a bush in front of us had obvious signs of being chopped, and there were a few broken branches on the ground.

Hu Lai picked it up, glanced at the incision on it, and said, "The incision is very fresh, it was just cut, and it won't take more than two hours."

"Who could it be?" I wondered.

Huang Mao carefully observed the footprints on the ground and said, "There are at least three people, I don't know if they are together, or they have passed one after another."

"We delayed, but others didn't delay, why did they walk ahead of us, could it be someone from outside?" Cao Nan also said strangely.

"It just rained the day before yesterday, and the mud on the mountain is dangerous, and it is normal for them not to come yesterday, and it was sunny for a day yesterday, and today we are just going up the mountain, so we are not late." Hu Laidao.

I nodded, that's right.

The south is all red soil, this kind of soil is very sticky, if it is not dry, the mud on the feet will be like a snowball, the more sticky, the more sticky, you don't have to go far, the legs will be as heavy as hanging lead.

"Whoever it is, we need to hurry!" Huang Mao Road.

So we sped up and climbed up the mountain as fast as we could, which took more than two hours.

Looking up at the top of the main peak, the clouds cover the fog, the sunlight can't penetrate the area at all, the flowing clouds and mist are like a piece of pure white silk, swaying from side to side with the wind, but never leaving the top of the mountain, making the top of the mountain like a fairyland.

Occasionally, when the clouds open and the fog disappears, you can still see the snow.

The elevation of the main peak of Jinpen Mountain is very high, but fortunately, our destination is not the top of the mountain, but the waist area in the middle, and from a distance, you can see the exposed rocks and patches of crooked trees.

At sunset, we finally reached the periphery of the area.

When I looked at it with my glasses, I found that the collapsed place was very strange, although the rocks were bare, they were not very fresh, and the trees were crooked, but the boundaries were clear and very regular. It doesn't look like it's collapsed, but it suddenly jumps, presenting a scene that doesn't fit in with its surroundings, with no transition in between.

There are trees and shrubs all around, but in the center, it is a bare place of mountains and rocks, not to mention trees, not even roots and grass, which are clearly distinguished, and look very abrupt.

And the center of the area, is a very clear pool, condescending, the pool reflects the blue sky and white clouds, just like a picture scroll, quiet, far-reaching, ancient wells do not wave.

"This ...... It's not like a landslide. Hu Laidao.

"Not really." Huang Mao's brows furrowed deeply.

"But the problem is that there has not been such a place that has been observed before, and can be clearly seen with a telescope at the foot of the mountain; How did it come about? Cao Nan was puzzled.

I also felt very puzzled, these exposed rocks looked a long time ago, the traces of wind and water erosion were obvious, and there was no fresh soil and obvious fractures like the collapse.

"It feels like it came out of nowhere." Hu Lai muttered.

"Wait, shouldn't this place have been covered by a magic circle, and then over time, the magic circle collapsed, so it was suddenly revealed?" Huang Mao guessed.

When Hu Lai heard this, he immediately took out the compass, recited words in his mouth, and shook it a few times in a specific direction, only to see that the pointer on it began to rotate, and there would be obvious pauses in several fixed directions.

"Guess right, there was really a magic circle here, but now it has collapsed, revealing the contents of the magic circle, which is this pool." Huang Mao Road.

"That means there's something in the pool." Cao Nan changed color.

I felt a pang in my heart, since this place was covered by the formation, the era must have been a long time ago, and under the calm waterhole must be the secret that the magic circle wanted to hide.

The earthquake that day, perhaps the movement caused by the collapse of the magic circle, can no longer be described as big, but terrifying, and the earthquake was felt in Jinpen Township on the mountain road for two or three hours.

And the strange thing is that this waterhole has no source and no exit, just lying there quietly, it doesn't feel like a pool, but a pool of amber, which will not evaporate, will not flow away, and will not need a source, and will live forever.

"Shall we go over now?" Cao Nan asked.

"Don't worry, someone comes up before us, let's see." Huang Mao shook his head.

Hu Lai also said: "We have spent a lot of physical strength, just take a break, there must be people around here, and there is a good chance that we have already been discovered."
