Six miles in a straight line, we took a detour, and walked almost ten miles, to a hotel located southeast of the small park where we had cast the spell. The hotel's parking lot is open to the public, but the price is quite expensive.

After parking the car, I looked at the time, and it was already twelve o'clock. Sweeping outside, I saw that there were quite a lot of cars parked here.

"Master, let's wait in the car." I said.

"Hmm." Master looked at me and Xiang Feng, smiled, and said gently, "You two sleep, I'll just keep watch." I fought the man that night, and if he was in this hotel and came out then, I would have been able to recognize him..."

I said in my heart, it's okay, keep your spirits up, so you can deal with those bastards... I slept until early in the morning, and when I woke up, I saw Master still sitting silently, staring out the window. This Ya'an deserves to be called the 'Rain City', I don't know when, it rained outside, and it was foggy.

I covered my mouth and yawned.

"Let's sleep a little longer," Xiang Feng said, "I estimate that even if they are in this hotel, they won't come out until ** o'clock." ”

I rubbed my eyes, smiled at the wind, "Don't sleep, Master sleep for a while." ”

Master smiled and shook his head.

"Then I'll go buy something to eat." I said.

The master thought for a moment and said, "It's okay, go and come back quickly." ”

"Your leg doesn't hurt anymore?" Xiang Feng asked.

"It's okay..."

My leg still hurts when I walk, but it's much better than before. I took out the atlas from my bag and put it over my head, got out of the car, and I limped out into the street in the rain. Probably due to the rain and the fact that it was too early, I walked along the street for a long time, and I didn't see a single breakfast stall or shop. After walking for a while, I finally came across an old man pushing a cart with a shed, selling tea eggs, and boiled corn. I bought three corns and six tea eggs with great interest, and after wrapping them, I was about to walk back when the rain began to fall heavily.

I dragged my 'stump leg', screamed, and limped to the door of a ready-to-wear store across the street to take shelter from the rain. After a while, the rain finally subsided. When I was about to leave, a black car stopped at the uncle on the other side, and then a man got out of the car...

I glanced at the man casually, raised my feet and walked away, and as soon as I took a step, I suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly stopped, and looked at the man again... Although the distance is a little far, and through the rain, the back of that person still makes me feel familiar, a bit like the boss Cao I dealt with Old Man Yang at the beginning...

When the man turned around and walked into the car, I looked at his face, it was that Boss Cao! … It's really a narrow road, I can't help but clench my fists... I looked at the car, and saw that there was still a person sitting in the passenger seat in the car, I couldn't see clearly, I didn't know who it was...

After Boss Cao got into the car, I didn't come back to my senses until the car left. Just then, a taxi came by, and I rushed down the steps and stopped it.

"Master, keep up with the car in front! …”

Boss Cao's car was not very fast, followed him all the way, turned a few corners, stopped and stopped, went out of the city, and walked about twenty or thirty miles, then Boss Cao's car was parked at the gate of a scenic spot...

"Where is this?" I asked the driver.

"This is Mengding Mountain."

"Mengding Mountain?"

I looked out the window into the distance, and saw the outline of the mountains looming in the misty rain, like an ink painting.

Boss Cao stood at the ticket booth, as if he was buying a ticket. After a while, Boss Cao turned around, beckoned, and the man in the car walked down. Because his back was on me, I couldn't see the man's face clearly, in short, it wasn't the Boss Zhou of ×× Villa, because he wasn't that tall.

Boss Cao took a bag and two pairs of trekking poles from the car, handed them to the man, and then drove away. Soon, Boss Cao walked back, and after meeting with the man, the two walked into the scenic spot...

I said in my heart, could it be that Boss Cao and this person came here early in the morning to come to the mountain to play? … I got out of the taxi, also came to the gate of the scenic spot, looked inside, and said, since I came, I might as well follow up to see, so I also bought a ticket to go in.

Entering the scenic spot, there are many staggered stone roads, and from a distance, Boss Cao and the man are walking on one of the stone roads, and I also followed.

The scenery of this Mengding Mountain is very quiet, and there are tea trees everywhere. Since it was still early and it was raining, there were not many tourists. I didn't dare to get too close for fear of being discovered. While paying attention to the two people in front of me, so as not to lose them, I watched the scenery on the mountain, but I saw the tea trees, the branches and leaves that had been drenched by the rain were shiny green, as if they had been removed from the painting. Looking up, the cascading stone steps stretch to the heights, hidden in the rain and mist, like leading to the clouds. Take a deep breath of cool fresh air, and your whole body is filled with an indescribable sense of pleasure...

After walking up for a while, I came to a temple called 'Tengai-ji', and there are many towering ginkgo trees planted around the temple. I didn't enter the temple, I don't know what was going on inside, I hid behind a tree and watched about a meal, Boss Cao and the two walked out of the temple, and when the two of them went away, I continued to follow.

In this way, after walking for more than an hour, my 'sick leg' was a little unsupportable, and I retreated in my heart, not knowing whether to continue to follow... Master and Ah Feng don't know if they are the one who took the bronze man. The reason why we came to Ya'an was not to recapture the bronze people, nor to deal with Boss Cao and other bastards, but to find out the whereabouts of those ancient relics. So, no matter what the situation is, you can't be surprised now. Although, according to what the old man of the dead ghost in the 'Ghost Realm' said, relying on the bronze man, you can summon those Ran people, but whether this method is reliable or not, no one dares to guarantee it, I always feel a little suspenseful...

After hesitating like this, I walked forward again, and when I raised my eyes, I suddenly found that Boss Cao and the two were gone! … I rubbed my eyes in amazement, where did these two people go? …

Looking at it from a distance, a gazebo stood on the west side of the stone path, and Boss Cao and the two of them seemed to have disappeared from that gazebo... What a hell of a life!

I gritted my teeth and endured the pain in my legs, walked quickly to the gazebo, stood in the middle and glanced around, and nothing unusual happened. When I came to the edge of the pavilion and looked down, I saw two figures moving in the fog below, vaguely Boss Cao and the two of them...

I wondered in my heart, this pavilion is very steep down, full of rocks and trees, there is no road at all, where are they going? … At this time, I suddenly realized that these two people came here not to enjoy the mountains and rivers at all, but to have something else!

After the figures of the two disappeared completely into the mist, and after waiting for a while, I left the pavilion and walked down the slope of the mountain. I walked very slowly, in addition to the fear of falling down the mountain, there was also the fear of kicking the rocks and being discovered by the two below...

So I walked down for more than half an hour to a large tree that was very dense and leafy on the slope of the hill. When I was about to go around the big tree, I suddenly saw two people squatting on a small platform on the lower right, it was Boss Cao and the two of them...

I leaned against the tree, calmed down, listened carefully, and vaguely heard the two of them seem to be talking about something, but the sound couldn't come up, I couldn't hear it clearly...

I waited patiently for about ten minutes, and one of them stood up, judging from his figure, it was the person who followed Boss Cao. He didn't know what he had taken out of his bag, and after a while, I smelled the smell of burning incense...

I was wondering, all of a sudden, my eardrums 'buzzed', and then I had an indescribable feeling, everything around me, the air, the scenery, seemed to have all changed, but I couldn't tell where it had changed! … I know, something might be going to happen... I looked away from the two people below, twisted my neck, and looked at the fog near and far, and suddenly, I saw a black behemoth rising from the fog below! …

I almost screamed out in shock, but fortunately it was fast, and I stretched out my hand and covered my mouth... The thing below went up little by little, and because it was wrapped in fog, I couldn't see what it looked like, but I could vaguely distinguish it, it seemed to be a man in strange clothes, wearing a strange headdress, riding some kind of animal, and holding a long weapon in his hand...

Suddenly, the 'image' stopped, and my heart suddenly hung in the air, not knowing what was happening, and all of a sudden, this strange man suddenly raised the weapon in his hand and pointed to a certain place in the west...

I don't know when and from which route Boss Cao left. By the time I came to my senses, they were gone, and the 'man' with the weapon in the fog was gone...

When I came out of the Mengding Mountain Scenic Area exhausted and returned to the main road, it was already afternoon. I stopped a taxi, and as soon as I got in the car, I received a call from Xiang Feng.

"Hey, Ah Leng, where have you been, I couldn't get through on the phone before..."

"It's hard to put into words, where are you?"

"I'm at the hotel."

"Where's Master?"

"Still guarding near the hotel, that person hasn't come out, have you encountered something?"

"I'll go back and tell you..."

Back at the hotel, I told me about my experience in Mengding Mountain, and listened to Xiang Feng, and my brows gradually twisted.

"You mean, you see a man in the mist dressed in strange clothes, riding a monster, and holding a weapon?"

"Hmm."

"Give me the map."

Xiang Feng grabbed the map and found Mengding Mountain.

"Ah Leng, look..."

Pointing to a line of latitude to the wind, I looked over: thirty degrees north latitude...

(More than a year later, a netizen, when using Google Maps to browse Ya'an, inadvertently ran across Mengding Mountain, and saw a huge armor-wearing 'person' and a 'unicorn' pattern in the shade of the mountain, and then went on CCTV's "Exploration and Discovery", and what he found was the place where the pattern was displayed on the map was the location where I first saw the 'image'...)
