Chapter 18: The U-Shaped Canyon
After Zauhar's redrawing, several broken lines on the map were connected with the black dots, so that the black dots should be between a "U" shaped canyon, and this map at this time is already somewhat similar to the detailed map of the Tianshan Medicine Garden that the second uncle got in the iron box.
What surprised me was that it was not the former mercenary Liang Ruoyi who figured this out, nor the connoisseur Seventh Master, but a hunter guide, Zauhar.
"Well, that seems right." The seventh master touched his chin and said with a smile: "No wonder I felt that something was wrong no matter how I looked at it before, from the general outline, it can be the right number, but if you take a closer look, it is not right, it turns out that the reason is here!" ”
Everyone was also happy, but I know what these people are thinking - since this map of the Tianshan Medicine Garden has found clues, can the other other maps that are also sketchy be completed in this way?! The answer should be yes, so that the other maps can be completed quickly, and it will be much easier to find the top ten secret realms.
"I have a plan." Zawhar pointed to the map and said, "I don't know if you can refer to it." ”
"Yes!" The pig head nodded and said: "You are most familiar here, we believe you in these strokes just now, as long as what you say makes sense, we will listen to you." ”
The pig head was excited, so he rushed to speak, and when he said that he was already a little unconfident in the back, he looked at the seventh master, and saw that the seventh master nodded to him slightly, and then he finished speaking.
"Okay." Dhaulhar looked around, saw that no one else objected, pointed to the map and continued: "From the map, we are now on the outskirts of the 'U' shaped valley, and this is the first time I have seen a map here. But I can roughly estimate that the valley is so large that if we walked in this way, we might miss something and it wouldn't be very efficient. My idea is that we are divided into two teams, one team walks straight and enters from this mountain pass, and the other team goes around from the west side and enters at another mountain pass, and our two teams are encircled, Miss Liang saw that there is a military walkie-talkie in her hand, the effective distance is tens of thousands of meters, and the mobile phone in this mountain has no signal, which is just right to use the walkie-talkie. In this way, we divide our troops into two ways, and whichever side finds the shortest way first will notify the other side. First, the efficiency will be high; Second, in this kind of place, the fewer people, the higher the security, and besides, you all have kung fu. How is it? ”
Zauhar said a lot, which sounded quite reasonable, and I thought about it, and thought it was feasible, so I nodded slightly.
"That's a good idea." The seventh master nodded and said, "The key is, Zawuhar, you are the only guide......"
"It's fine." The cloth bag monk, who had never spoken along the way, said coldly: "It won't be too dangerous." ”
Everyone looked at each other, but they forgot that this old monk had lived in seclusion in the western mountains for decades, and he should be familiar with these places. However, this idea always felt that something was wrong, and everyone was looking at each other, and no one could pay attention to it.
"Actually, the point I want to say above all is that-" Zawuhar took a deep breath, his coffee-colored face already wet with mist, "This place, the longer it drags on, the more unsafe it becomes, at least many years ago, I saw brown bears and snow leopards on the periphery, and there must be other beasts inside." If you don't know kung fu or kung fu in general, I won't bring you here, and now even if you encounter a few beasts, you can at least protect yourself, but after a long time, if you are targeted by many beasts, even if you have twice as many people, it will not be enough for them to eat. ”
Monk Budai had expressed his attitude just now, and now Liang Ruoyi nodded after a deep groan: "I also agree with this method." ”
The toad also said on the side: "I agree. ”
I looked at the second uncle, the pig's head looked at the seventh master, and after seeing the two of them nodding their heads, we also nodded, indicating that there was no objection.
In this way, the team was quickly divided: Liang Ruoyi took me, the second uncle and the Budai monk, and Zawuhar took the seventh master, the pig's head and the toad, eight people in two groups, and the distribution was completed.
Our group went forward, and Zawhar's group went around and went that way.
Everyone discussed, it was already more than six o'clock in the evening, and after entering the canyon, we could not go deeper, so we would rest on the periphery for one night first, and continue to move forward early tomorrow morning.
After inspecting their belongings, the group split into two groups and walked forward.
Liang Ruoyi and the Budai monk walked in front, and my second uncle and I consciously and slowly fell behind. At this time, the fog around him gradually thickened, and the sky was already dark, and the visibility was less than ten meters, and four flashlights illuminated the vast fog in front of him, as if walking in a fairyland.
"Second uncle, do you also think that Zauhar has been here before?" I saw that Liang Ruoyi and Monk Budai were three or four meters away in front, so I asked softly.
The second uncle nodded: "Everyone said it themselves, they came many years ago, but they didn't go in." Are you wondering why he didn't go in, but he could see the omissions on the map at a glance? And fill it exactly quickly? ”
"Wow!" I pretended to be surprised: "Second uncle is amazing! That's what I really doubted. Don't you doubt it? ”
"The focus of my suspicions is different from yours." The second uncle said while stepping on the stone under his feet: "He grew up at the foot of the Tianshan Mountains since he was a child, although he has never been to this terrain, but he should know it very well, compared with the actual terrain, the hole is too big, he can easily see it, it is not strange." ”
I wrapped my clothes and shivered: "It's so cold at night...... Second uncle, what do you suspect? ”
"What do I suspect?" The second uncle glanced at the two people in front of him: "This Zawuhar probably knows what is in this canyon, otherwise, he wouldn't have to share our share." If you look at him, shotguns, pistols, crossbows, daggers, all of them, like a great enemy, a hunter like him who has no kung fu can venture into this place, which means that there must be something in it that he wants. Perhaps, in his heart, that thing is more important than his life! ”
I understand what the second uncle meant, when Zawuhar proposed to share our share before, I just thought that he knew that the things in it were very valuable, so he put forward this condition, and now that the second uncle said this, I also think that he probably knows that it is the Sun Moon Lotus, and this thing, he also needs it very much, so when neither side has made it clear, he put forward this condition.
"In that case, we're at a loss." I smiled wryly.
The second uncle waved his hand: "It can't be regarded as a loss, but what I can't figure out the most is why Zauhar divided us into two teams......"
I was stunned: "Is this also a question?" He said it very clearly, isn't he afraid that the longer it drags on, the more unsafe it will be? ”
"Do you think so?" The second uncle looked at me and asked.
I nodded: "I think it's reasonable, I don't think there's any doubt." ”
"I wonder if this is a conspiracy?" The second uncle grinned: "This way, it is very quiet, because it is all grassland Gobi, there is no shelter, at least until now, I haven't found anyone tracking over, or rather, Li Shuangyue or Chai Lao Wu and they came before us." And this Zaul, although I don't see any suspicion so far, I always feel that he is trying to defeat each of us......"
As soon as I heard this, I suddenly smiled bitterly: "Second uncle, you are too conspiracy theory, I think this Zawuhar is just a snowy mountain hunter, you want to destroy us all?" Unless he asks someone to buy it! ”
Speaking of this, I was also puzzled, and lowered my voice and asked, "You don't really think that Zauhar was bought, do you?" ”
"Possibly." The second uncle waved his hand and said no more.
I looked forward and saw that Liang Ruoyi and Monk Budai had stopped, pointed to the place where the flashlight was shining and said, "You see, we have reached the mountain pass, and further on, we will enter the 'U' shaped canyon, let's rest in this stone cave for the night, and wait for news from them." ”
