For He Xiaochen's mentions, Zhang Ye also looked weird, but he still put down the stone man's arm, and did not force it, I suddenly wanted to pay attention, so I asked Zhang Ye to take out the broken blade at the scene, and then erected the stone man's arm, and compared the jade block with the broken blade on the spot.

Now there is no equipment and equipment, and the jade block cannot be taken out, and we can only identify it from the appearance, but this comparison, but also found that the broken blade and this jade block, except for a little similarity in color, other aspects are really completely different.

And although the broken blade is of unknown material, it at least looks like a sharp sword made of metal, and the jade block looks like a piece of jade in our eyes, and the two are completely inextricably linked.

This result greatly surprised us, of course, only by the naked eye, may still be one-sided, since Professor Chen said, this jade block and the material of the broken blade is very similar, then maybe there is something similar, but at this moment, we have no other way.

I thought about it for a while, and said to Zhang Ye, it's better to do this, let's put this stone man's arm back into the cave for the time being, and we won't be afraid of losing it anyway, and then tonight according to what He Xiaochen said, go to Mount Tai first to take a trip to see what is going on, and then go to Professor Chen tomorrow and ask him to bring equipment to this Artemisia Mountain and test it on the spot, isn't this the best of both worlds?

At that time, no matter what the results of the test are, I always have a bottom in my heart, and when I see Lao Pan, I can also have an explanation.

Zhang Ye thought about it, and felt that it was more safe, and at the same time he was also very unconvinced, He Xiaochen's words just now stimulated him, although he didn't react on the surface, but I knew that this guy would definitely go tonight.

A few of us went down the Haoli Mountain together, and the old bell sent us back to the hotel, but did not go in, he said that he had something to do, so he would not go with us in the evening.

Zhang Ye didn't say much, I wanted to leave Lao Zhong to have dinner together, it happened that it was not early, but he said that he didn't say anything, saying that he had been out for a day and had to go back to deal with affairs.

In the end, he left alone, and after we returned to the room with He Xiaochen, we casually ordered some takeout, and then began to study today's harvest in the room.

In fact, strictly speaking, today can only be regarded as a blank run, except for finding some seemingly important, but not very marginal clues, there is no substantial progress.

If the stone arm in Artemisia Mountain and the jade block can be identified in Professor Chen's hands tomorrow, then today's doubts will be solved, but Professor Chen didn't see the reason for the jade two years ago, so we don't expect him to see anything special this time, just want him to make sure whether the jade and the broken blade are the same kind of items, or from the origin of the jade block, you can follow the vine and find out the origin of the broken blade.

Because at this moment, no one thinks that what Dai Li was carrying when he crashed was the real Nine Dragon Sword, it was definitely a fake, a pit father's goods, if Lao Pan's guess is true, the truncated blade in our hands is the fragment of the Nine Dragon Sword, then, perhaps, we can find out from this, what is the origin of the giant tripod in the Black Water Demon Cave.

It may even be possible to find out all the secrets in the Black Water Demon Cave from this clue, because we all firmly believe that the real secrets of the Black Water Demon Cave should be at the bottom of the ten thousand corpse mounds, and finding out the origin of the giant tripod and the broken blade is our only way.

By the way, I also asked Zhang Ye, where Zhong Wenkai came from, he gave people a feeling that he seemed to know a lot, including in Xu Laogen's house, when it came to yin and yang feng shui or something, the head was the way, and the bluffing Xu Laogen was stunned for a while.

Zhang Ye thought about it and said, he didn't know what Zhong Wenkai was doing, he only knew that he was very open in this Tai'an realm, opened an antique shop, and Lao Pan was a peer, and he had some business contacts before, but he didn't know the specifics.

Because, Lao Pan has been taking care of business in the past few years, in fact, other people are helping to do it, Zhang Ye said that he is an idle person, lazy to take care of those business things, and Lao Pan will never call him when he is fine.

I believe this, Zhang Ye, let him kill people and set fires, he will definitely not frown, but if he is allowed to do business and settle accounts, he will run as far as he can.

He Xiaochen kept smiling beside me without saying a word, I looked at her, curious, and wanted to ask her where she came from, but it was difficult to speak, but He Xiaochen took the initiative to tell us that this Zhong Wenkai, that is, Lao Zhong, was actually just a feng shui gentleman who walked the rivers and lakes in the past.

I can't help but be surprised, Mr. Feng Shui who walks the rivers and lakes?

He Xiaochen said that Zhong Wenkai opened a small hexagram shop in the local area 20 years ago, helping people look at their faces, draw lots, calculate the passing years, look at feng shui, and make a living from it. Later, by chance, I met her master, got a few treasures, and made a fortune after making a profit, only to find that there was a lot of money to be made, so I changed my career to become an antique shop owner.

And the reason why Zhong Wenkai knew He Xiaochen was naturally because of her master, I suddenly felt very strange when she said this, He Xiaochen always mentioned her master, Zhong Wenkai's career is also because of her master, so who is her master?

I asked her curiously, but she refused to say anything, just smiled and shook her head, and then got up and went back to the room, so that we could call her later.

He Xiaochen's mysterious mystery made me more and more curious, after she left, I asked Zhang Ye again, but he didn't know, and finally I asked impatiently, saying that you really want to know, turn around and see Pan Ye, ask him to know.

I asked Lao Pan where he went, why he came here all day, and there was no news of him, Zhang Ye rolled his eyelids and said, Pan Ye does things, who dares to ask more?

I didn't say anything about this sentence, pinched my nose and lay down to rest, thinking crankily in my heart, and after a while, it gradually got dark.

According to the previous agreement, Zhang Ye and I packed up our things, went out lightly, called He Xiaochen, and began to go to Mount Tai at night.

This time it was He Xiaochen who led the way, called a car after leaving the hotel, ran along the provincial highway from the east of Tai'an City for a long time, and came to a place like a small town, and then turned to the west, stopped after walking a short distance, got out of the car and looked, this place was originally called Chaicao River, He Xiaochen pointed to the front and said, this is the East Royal Road, from here up, is the back mountain of Mount Tai.

Only then did I know that what she said about Mount Tai was the back mountain of Mount Tai, which was a bit fresh, but Zhang Ye snorted in his nose and said: "Behind this Mount Tai, although there is little development, it is also a tourist area, what tricks can you have?" ”

He Xiaochen squinted and smiled: "Now I won't tell you more, I will let you see and understand, what ordinary people can't see, hum, when the time comes, your legs will be weak, don't blame me." ”

"Weak legs? Hmph, let's see which of the two of us has soft legs first. Zhang Ye glanced at He Xiaochen up and down, straightened his chest, and snorted disdainfully.

This remark is a bit imaginative, I hurriedly interrupted: "Okay, okay, my legs are soft first, let's save some effort, quietly go up the mountain, don't shoot." ”

"Shooting? Don't worry, I'll be fine with this. Zhang Ye said and threw away the short knife in his hand a few times, waved his hand, and said: "Let's go, today I will open my eyes and see what secrets are still in this Mount Tai that ordinary people can't see." ”

At this time, the moon was in the middle of the sky, the three of us didn't say much, and began to climb the mountain along the path, He Xiaochen led the way, we followed behind, all of them hurried without saying a word, in the dark night, only heard the slight breathing of a few of us, and the rustling sound made from nowhere, which came out among the surrounding cliffs and trees.

The scope of Mount Tai is very large, but the scenic spots developed are concentrated in the southwest, and the road we take belongs to the back mountain part, not to mention the development of scenic spots, even some mountain roads have not been made.

After only a little climb along the stone steps at the foot of the mountain, the road ahead became more and more deserted, and the road under our feet became more and more difficult to walk, either a dirt road or a path in the bushes, this feeling was like climbing the Great Wall in the wilderness, the road was steep, the cliffs were steep, and accidents could happen at any time.

It is estimated that the locals went up to the mountains to collect medicine or hunt, otherwise they would not have been able to come up at all.

And in order to avoid trouble, we didn't even turn on the flashlight, otherwise the people below would see someone climbing the back mountain at night, which would be inconvenient for our actions.

This also caused difficulties in climbing the mountain, although the sky was bright and the moon was high, and I could see the road clearly, but after all, the mountain was difficult to walk, and after walking for a while, I found that I began to be unable to keep up with them, and sure enough, I was the first to have weak legs.

This road is becoming more and more difficult to walk, many places even have to pass through the narrow mountain beams, Zhang Ye and He Xiaochen walked quite easily, but I suffered, and I don't know how He Xiaochen found this place, there will be no ordinary tourists here at all, and it is estimated that it will be discouraged from looking away.

Just walked and stopped, passed through a lot of strange peaks and strange rocks, steep cliffs, when we reached a cliff, He Xiaochen finally stopped, it was almost midnight.

It is a stone platform the size of a basketball court, scattered with countless boulders, like a terrace jutting out from the middle of the mountain, with cliffs on three sides, and behind the stone platform, there is a huge stone wall, and there is a path on one side of the stone wall that leads to other places, but it is also very steep, and by the moonlight, you can faintly see that it seems to be a forest.

At this time, the moonlight sprinkled on the stone platform, the ground was silvery, the scenery was actually very beautiful, and at the same time it presented a very peculiar feeling, when I stepped on the stone platform, somehow, it seemed to have the illusion that time had stopped, and there was a moment of blankness in my mind.

Standing on the stone platform and looking into the distance, surrounded by faint mountains, under the moonlight, there is an ethereal feeling of nothingness, dotted with the sound of insects in the middle of the night, but the heart is indescribably shocked.

"Here we are." He Xiaochen exhaled and said, I was puzzled and asked, "What's so weird here?" ”

He Xiaochen didn't speak, looked up at the sky, and stared at the surroundings as if he was silently calculating something, and then suddenly pulled up the two of us and hid behind a boulder.

"Don't make noise, they're coming."
