Chapter 173: March
"Conspiracy? What do you mean? Qiu Weilong was surprised.
"In the past few months, because of the robbery of the Blood Furnace, we have been trying to divert the attention of these people, so that they will lose the trace of the Blood Furnace, but there have been constant disputes, think about it, why is that?" Wang Shaoting said.
"Why?" Qiu Weilong hadn't experienced those things, so of course he couldn't think of it.
"I suspect that someone wants this to happen, and that they want everyone to fight over the Bloody Furnace. As for whether the Blood Rock Furnace can make people immortal, it is unknown. ”
Wang Shaoting's answer didn't make Qiu Weilong react much, but it surprised me, who was listening!
I have always had this layer of speculation, but it is the first time I have heard it from Wang Shaoting. This guy is already silent, especially in front of the fast-talking Rui Wei, he rarely expresses his opinions, but it is clear that he understands everything in his heart.
"What do you mean......"
"Yes," Wang Shaoting said, "if someone really had such a mind, they would definitely not see the Blood Rock Furnace disappear." It can be said that the closer we get to the mountain, the closer we are to the truth. ”
"And then?"
"Weilong Mountain was destroyed because of the Blood Rock Furnace, and the mastermind behind this is the enemy of Weilong Mountain, and even the death of my father may have something to do with this, I want to find out this person personally." Wang Shaoting's tone was full of determination.
I listened, and my heart was mixed. To be honest, I have always had a lot of apologies for him before, after all, the Blood Rock Furnace belongs to the Tao family, and their Wang family was innocently involved, I didn't kill Boren, but Boren died because of me, and I also felt deeply responsible for the death of Old Man Wang. So this time I went to Buxian Mountain, I also considered excluding him and Rui Wei, and didn't want them to follow me to the adventure.
But now listening to him say this, I feel comforted in my heart, although he is young, he can see the pros and cons so thoroughly, he is assertive and responsible, I really don't believe in the wrong person.
Qiu Weilong was obviously also moved by his words, and said after a while of silence: "Then, if there is anything that my brother can help, you must tell me." ”
"Hmm!" Wang Shaoting heard the approval in the eldest brother's expression, and his tone was full of joy.
When the dust settled, I felt that there was no need to listen to it anymore, so I turned around and was about to leave, but I heard Qiu Weilong say: "When I see you again this time, I feel that you seem to have changed a little." ”
Wang Shaoting seemed a little surprised when he heard this, and asked, "Is it?" How I didn't think so. ”
"Haha," Qiu Weilong smiled, "It seems that there are more words, and your previous face is so cold that it is almost frozen stubble, but you don't like to laugh as much as you do now." ”
Hearing him say this, I couldn't help but laugh secretly. When I first met Wang Shaoting's work, his cold and stuffy temperament really tortured me enough, and it seems that I have been getting better recently.
"Tao Zhihuan doesn't seem to be the same as before, are you influenced by him?" Qiu Weilong said.
I couldn't help but be stunned by this.
“…… Probably. Wang Shaoting was silent for a few seconds before replying, and then asked rhetorically, "Isn't it good to smile more?" ”
"Of course, haha!" Qiu Weilong said with a smile.
The next morning, when I woke up, Wang Shaoting and Qiu Weilong were gone, and when they walked out of the cave, the cold air was pressing, and they could already exhale clumps of white gas from their mouths. Looking around, I couldn't help but admire. The name of this mountain is a thousand pillars, probably because there are stone pillars that stand abruptly everywhere, and the clusters are like sharp swords pointing to the sky. This kind of landform is really rare in the north, and it should be unique to this area of volcanic groups. In fact, even the Tianchi of Changbai Mountain itself is actually a former volcanic crater.
Now these stone pillars are covered with a thick layer of frost, and the mountains are white, and it is like entering a fairyland.
After asking the people guarding the entrance of the cave, I learned that Wang Shaoting and they set off early in the morning to patrol the mountain.
Patrolling the mountains? Wang Shaoting, this is still the second master of Xiangma! I thought to myself as I walked down the mountain road.
As soon as he walked not too far, he saw Wang Shaoting, Wu Lian, and Qiu Weilong walking up together, Wang Shaoting pointed to the mountain and said, "Look, the slope here is too big, compared to the Rolling Stone Formation, the quicksand formation will have a better effect......
Qiu Weilong and Wu Lian echoed and nodded again and again.
After doing it for a long time, it turned out that I came to guide the city defense work. Hearing this, he must have personally arranged the mechanism of the bayonet in front of Weilong Mountain.
After a few people met and made a noise, Wulian told me that everything I had prepared for us was ready, and the guide was found, and we could set off after breakfast.
Later, I told Rui Wei and Yue Ningmei about it, and they were equally happy.
"I can't think of how this nerd can be a ringing horse." Rui Wei looked at Wang Shaoting, who was having a good conversation with the two bandit leaders, and whispered to me.
"He's a loud horse in front of others, and he's a nerd in front of you." I say.
"Huh? What do you mean? ”
"It's not interesting, anyway, he did a great job this time, otherwise things wouldn't have gone so well." I laughed.
Rui Wei raised his eyebrows, noncommittal. But I also knew that she was just hard-mouthed, and I already knew in my heart that that nerd was not an ordinary person.
When we were about to set off, we saw our guide, a thin man, with shaved cheeks, a little dull eyes, and not very talkative, and Wu Lian said that we could call him Uncle Quan.
Later, I saw the supplies that had been prepared for us, a good horse for each person, a burden, which contained a small amount of dry food and ropes, small hoes, fire sickles and other necessities, a warm and easy to move clothing, but some of the things I had purchased in the town before, and Uncle Quan told us to give them all up.
"It's useless." He just said it succinctly.
Ullah added to him: "When you enter the mountain, you will not even be able to ride a horse, but you will have to climb the mountain with your hands and feet, and you will have to throw away too many things when you bring them." ”
This is understandable, after all, in this era, Changbai Mountain is still a wild mountain, I'm afraid there is not even a decent road, if you really climb up the mountain, the lighter the body, the better.
So a group of five of us said goodbye to Qiu Weilong and Wulian, left Qianzhu Mountain, and went straight to the direction of Buxian Mountain.
"Uncle Quan, which direction shall we go up the mountain then?" I asked as I walked down the road.
"West." He replied.
"And how long does it take to climb up?" I asked again.
"Two days."
"Will there be wild beasts on the mountain?"
"Yes."
Well, seeing that I couldn't talk at all that day, I also gave up. But this Uncle Quan really seems to be very familiar with this place, and when he replenishes the water on the way, he just grabbed the soil on the ground and pinched it, shrugged his nose and sniffed it, so he took us all the way to find a natural spring. When you go into the jungle to find food, you know what you can eat and which is poisonous. Looking at the places that he can't get through, he can also find a suitable path by observing the traces of the beasts. It really gives us a lot of peace of mind to have such a person as a guide.
The biggest concern is always the weather. The morning was clear and clear, but in the afternoon it was gloomy, and the air was wet and cold, as if it were going to rain to a rhythm.
Now, if it rains at this temperature, it will rain and snow, and soon the road will become extremely slippery, and you don't have to think about horseback riding, and even whether you can reach the mountain smoothly on foot will be a big problem! (To be continued.) )
