Chapter 31: The Goddess Peak

It rained for several days, and the hotel lobby manager told that this weather was not suitable for visiting Wushan Scenic Area, and it was easy to have an accident on the steep mountain and slippery road.

Mr. Bao and Daochang Ge came over to chat and drink tea every day, blowing nonsense from all over the world, Secretary Xing had been a leader after all, and the string of class struggle was very tight, no matter how they tried, they never revealed the true purpose of Wushan.

In the room, Er Yahe and You's conscience were anxious, wishing to find the cave called "Zhu Ying's Corpse" as soon as possible, but he was still worried in his heart, Mr. Measurement's words lingered in his mind, this trip was full of dangers, and people would die.

"Meow." Mei Niang suddenly became alert.

"What's wrong? Mei Niang. Er Ya asked in surprise.

Mei Niang jumped on the windowsill, glanced out through the gap in the curtain, and screamed "woo-woo" in her mouth.

Youliang walked over and looked downstairs, his heart suddenly froze, and he whispered: "Sun Yifeng is here!" ”

On the street, Sun Yifeng and Li Lin were standing on the road opposite the hotel, looking upstairs

Why didn't you get rid of them? Youliang hid behind the curtain and observed, and finally saw the corner of the street, and there was an inconspicuous old beggar sitting on the ground, yes, that person was Liu Shisan.

"Erya, we've been targeted." Arara said dejectedly.

"Well, then I'll sneak up the mountain tonight," Erya gritted her teeth and said, "You can just quietly inform Secretary Xing." ”

It was night, the rain had stopped, and the sky was still gloomy, but the clouds were much thinner, and sometimes there was a faint hint of moonlight.

In the room, Secretary Xing hurriedly wrote a few lines on a sticky note.

"Xianggong, what are you doing?" Ke'er packed up and was going to sneak out of the hotel tonight to explore Wushan at night.

"Mr. Bao is very courteous to us, we can't say goodbye and write them a note." Secretary Xing said with a look of shame on his face and pressed the note on the coffee table.

When the time came, the two gently pushed open the door, and happened to meet Erya with a bamboo basket on their backs, and everyone tiptoed downstairs and walked out of the hotel.

There are no pedestrians on the street, the air is moist and fresh, refreshing, and there is a good way to lead everyone out of the city and go straight to the Goddess Peak according to the signs on the tour map.

The Wushan Mountains evolved from hundreds of millions of years ago from submarine reefs and Quaternary glaciers, and strange peaks and rocks abound, which look hideous and terrifying in the dark night. Everyone held hands and climbed along the rugged and muddy mountain road, and they were about to uncover the mystery of the tomb of the medicine king, and they were all very excited.

In the small hostel opposite the Chaoyun Hotel, Sun Yifeng and Li Lin took turns to sit in front of the window to monitor, and Lao Bai said that it was now a critical juncture, and he must not relax at all, and he himself had to come in person. At this moment, it was Li Lin's turn, he rubbed his sore eyes, and stared at the hotel door with all his strength.

"Big brother, they're out." Li Lin suddenly shouted.

Sun Yifeng, who was asleep, was suddenly excited, and hurriedly turned over and got out of bed and leaned over to the window, and sure enough, he saw Youliang and the four of them quietly slipping out of the gate and heading towards Wushan.

"Hurry up and keep up." Sun Yifeng said, the bags are ready to go out with them, anyway, the accommodation fee of the small hotel is paid once a day, and there is no need to delay the time to settle the bill.

The two of them hurried out of the inn and followed in the direction of Wushan.

In the corner of the street, the old beggar, huddled under the porch, slowly stood up, stepped onto his shabby rucksack, and staggered after him.

At dawn, the eastern horizon was white, the wind was light and the clouds were clear, and the weather finally cleared. Due to the continuous rain for many days, the fog between the verdant mountains is steaming and looming, like a fairyland.

"Look, that's probably the Goddess Peak." Arira held a tour map in his hand and pointed to a strange mountain peak in the clouds.

Looking at the peak in the distance, there is a girl's human-shaped stone pillar standing in the clouds of the green peak, the smoke is swirling, such as wearing a thin layer of light veil, especially the veins are affectionate, charming and moving.

"It's so beautiful," Ke'er exclaimed sincerely, "'Once the sea was difficult to turn into water, except for Wushan, it is not a cloud. Take the second flower bush lazy review, half of the edge of the cultivation and half of the king. Keer often hears this famous sentence for the ages, and people today have a lot of emotion when they see the true face. ”

"It's petty-bourgeois." Secretary Xing was quite unimpressed.

Several people continued to march towards the peak with great interest, their trouser legs were wet with dew on the weeds, and no one noticed Sun Yifeng and the others who were following far behind them, only Mei Niang in the back basket behind Erya looked restless.

A large piece of ruins is exposed in the barren grass in front, and the tour map indicates the ruins of the ancient temple of the Tang Dynasty, where a few small squirrels forage for food, and they are not afraid to see the living, and still take care of themselves to pick up dead branches and leaves.

Everyone was tired after walking for most of the night, so they sat down to rest.

"Erya, is the tomb of the Medicine King on the top of the Goddess Peak?" Secretary Xing asked with a gasp.

"Those monks" Erya was in a trance, her eyes were confused, and she fell into contemplation, and her questions were not answered.

"What happened to those monks?" Arira asked.

"Dead."

"Dead?"

"Well, I saw a raging flame on them, smiling and turning to ashes." Erya muttered.

"Still smiling?" Arira wondered.

"It's been 1,300 years, and they've finally completed their mission," Erya yawned, suddenly sobered up, and said in surprise, "It seems like I had a dream just now, did I fall asleep?" ”

"Maybe." Arira replied.

"Let's go." She stood up and took the lead towards the summit of the goddess.

After a while, a huge strange stone appeared in front of it, like the head of an old ape, and even the facial features could be seen, and a few tufts of weeds grew sparsely on it, like hair.

"Heaven and earth are created, and the mountains and rivers of the motherland are really magnificent." Secretary Xing exclaimed loudly.

Turning the "old ape's head", a dilapidated cave suddenly appeared in the barren grass, surrounded by crisp bamboos, and the rocks collapsed and fell off, and half of the entrance had been submerged, like an abandoned mining pit.

Erya ran a few steps and shouted in surprise: "This is it." ”

Arira's gaze stayed on the top of the entrance of the cave, although it was very old, but after careful identification, he couldn't help but feel a burst of excitement in his heart, and he saw that the three official characters carved on the rock were "Zhu Ying's corpse".

Everyone stood at the entrance of the cave and looked inside, it was pitch black and I don't know how deep, the wind was gusting, and even the skin felt numb.

"Let's go inside." Er Ya took the lead and walked into the cave.

Inside the cave is a long and narrow lane, you can't see your fingers, the cool breeze is blowing, and everyone carefully follows the second girl.

After walking for more than half an hour, the front suddenly opened up, and there was a spacious stone hall, which was several times larger than the one in the Rim River, and a faint ray of light scattered through the rock cracks on the top of the stone hall, and it was hazy and barely visible.

On the ground stand nine tall stone figures, standing in different corners of the stone hall, the shape is simple, the clothes are similar to Wu Pan, and it seems that they are also statues in ancient times.

"Ten Witches of the Drums!" Arara snorted softly.

"Is this what Professor Guan said about the 'Ten Witches' feng shui puzzle that Wu Xian can trap the soul?" Ke'er whispered tremblingly, for fear of touching some hidden mechanism.

"Don't be afraid, what ten witches, they are all feudal dross, now it's the twentieth century, the atomic bomb exploded, the spaceship went into the sky, these can't stand scrutiny in the face of science." Secretary Xing tried his best to comfort him.

"That witch can emit mist." Kerr reminded him.

"Let's not move," Arry turned to Erya and said, "Have you seen the 'Ten Witches' in the cave that day?" ”

Erya nodded, her eyes searching the ground.

"What are you looking for?" Youliang was surprised.

"The monks burned to ashes in front of these statues."

Arira silently looked at the ancient stone statues, the first male witch held a straw in his hand, and behind him there was a snake holder, a medicine pot and various utensils, and one of them was an elderly woman, with long hair and braids, holding something like salt in her hand.

"Here are nine stone statues, plus the Wu Pan of Gongchuan, it should be the 'Ten Witches', but where is the feng shui puzzle?" Arira was puzzled.

At this moment, Erya walked to a stone wall and stopped, looking up, with a very attentive expression.

When they walked into the cave, they were all looked at by Sun Yifeng and Li Lin, who were following behind, and the two of them were secretly happy in their hearts, the tomb of the Medicine King that they had been searching for for many years might be about to come to fruition.

The old blind man lurked in the grass, silently watching.

After Youliang and others walked out of the hotel gate in the middle of the night, the front desk attendant on duty immediately dialed the internal line, and after a while, Mr. Bao and Ge Daochang hurriedly went downstairs.

"Mr. Bao, the four guests you want me to pay attention to have just left the hotel and left the city in the direction of Wushan." The waiter said respectfully.

"Thank you." Mr. Bao pulled out a brand new 100 yuan bill and stuffed it into his hand, then turned and walked out of the hotel.

In the dead of night, he had a gut feeling that something was wrong.

"Daoist Ge, look at the blind old beggar in front of you." He gestured.

"Well, this man spends his days on street corners, and he doesn't go out to beg, and besides, he walks lightly, and is very dexterous in avoiding stone steps and trees, and he doesn't look like a blind man at all." Daochang Ge also found that things were far from being as simple as he imagined.

"It seems that it's not just the two of us who are interested in the Medicine King's Tomb." Mr. Bao said thoughtfully.

"Keep an eye on the old beggar and go." Ge Daochang snorted, and the two immediately followed.

At dawn, the sanitation workers on the streets of the county were already sweeping the roads, and the number of elderly people who were exercising in the morning gradually increased.

A dirty taxi with a Shaanxi license plate came and stopped in front of the Chaoyun Hotel, and an old man wearing glasses with a low brim got out of the car, holding a briefcase under his arm, the sky was hazy, and his face was not very clear.

He stood there silently and looked around, opened his mouth and stretched out his pink tongue to spin in the air, then sneered and went in the direction of Wushan.
