Wen Qingshan waved his hand and said, "After he entered the room, he should have seen the briefcase I put at the head of the bed at first sight, and he must have opened the bag first, and saw that there was so much money inside, why did he not take a penny, and went through the box where I put my clothes?" ”

When Wen Qingshan said this, everyone was speechless for a while, and if you think about it carefully, it is indeed a little unreasonable.

Wen Qingshan said: "This shows that he is looking for something that he thinks is more important than money, or more valuable." ”

"Did he have a crush on my precious compass? It's dangerous! Thankfully, I didn't leave the compass in the room. Huang Yixian rejoiced.

Wen Qingshan smiled: "Hehe, Master Huang said that he laughed, although your compass can be regarded as a treasure, this guy doesn't look like a person who is interested in feng shui yin and yang, but I'm afraid he may not be able to see it." ”

"And what was he looking for?" Huang Yixian was puzzled.

Wen Qingshan glanced at everyone and said, "If I didn't guess, he should be investigating our details!" ”

"Find out what we're talking about? What is there to find out about this, he went directly to the second master of Qi to ask, isn't it clear! ”

"Master Huang, have you forgotten what our real purpose here is?"

When Huang Yixian heard this, he immediately understood what Wen Qingshan meant, bounced up from the chair, and exclaimed, "You mean, that guy is also for the Dashun treasure!?" ”

Wen Qingshan nodded: "It's not impossible!" I don't know if you noticed the tattoo on his arm yesterday, it seems to be a rune mark, I look a little familiar, I'm afraid it's not good. Perhaps, in addition to us, there is another group of people who are also staring at the treasure of Dashun. ”

After listening to Wen Qingshan's analysis, I immediately thought of Bai Xiaowu, and hurriedly asked, "Then do you say that Bai Xiaowu will be in a group with them?" ”

Wen Qingshan glanced at me and said, "This is exactly what I'm worried about, in short, everyone should pay more attention in the future, and don't believe Bai Xiaowu's words." ”

Everyone nodded.

The next morning, we waited in the village committee for a long time, but Bai Xiaowu did not come at the agreed time, and waited until more than ten o'clock, and there was no trace of this guy, Wen Qingshan said: "Since he doesn't come, then don't wait for him, let's go by ourselves." ”

I asked a little worriedly, "But if we don't have Bai Xiaowu to lead the way, can we still find that diagonal hole?" "Actually, I'm more worried about whether we're going to get lost in the hole.

Wen Qingshan smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, I made marks along the way yesterday, and I also used GPS to locate the coordinates, I believe it will not be difficult to find that place." ”

Hearing him say this, I felt a little relieved, so we brought the haode oxygen cylinder cover that had been prepared for a long time, and carried a bag of caustic soda that Wen Qingshan bought from Sanyuan Township yesterday, and rushed to Hukouyan.

After entering Hukou Rock, Wen Qingshan led the way in front, we followed behind, walked for more than half an hour, and felt that it was not far from the destination, but the fat man was already tired, and even I felt a little struggling in my body, after all, I was carrying an oxygen cylinder weighing more than ten pounds on my back, and I was carrying a bag of caustic soda weighing nearly twenty pounds on my shoulder, and it was indeed not an easy job to walk in this rugged cave for so long. What's more, the physical strength of the fat man has never been good.

There happened to be a few relatively flat big stones in front of him, the fat man really couldn't walk, put the caustic soda on his shoulder on one of the stones, and lay on his back on this stone, seeing this situation, Huang Yixian said: "Let's rest here and then walk." Wen Qingshan nodded in agreement, so everyone found a stone to rest and sat down.

I had just sat down for a while when I noticed that there seemed to be a white footprint on the ground not far ahead.

I couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and immediately got up and walked over, and look, it was really a footprint! It seems that someone's sole was stained with some milky white slurry, leaving such a footprint.

I was wondering, Wen Qingshan came over, he followed my gaze and found footprints on the ground, immediately squatted down to check, he pinched a little white paste with his hand, put it in front of his nose and smelled it, and his face suddenly changed.

I hurriedly asked, "Boss Wen, what is it?" ”

Wen Qingshan slowly raised his head and said, "It's caustic soda!" ”

"What! Caustic soda? This...... What's going on, we haven't been here yet! How could it be ......" As soon as I said this, something suddenly came to my mind: "Wait! Could it be that we are lost? Actually, we've already passed through it once? ”

Wen Qingshan waved his hand, frowned and said, "No! This footprint should have been left by someone else! ”

"What do you mean by someone else's stay?" I didn't turn my mind for a while, how could other people leave footprints with caustic soda?

Huang Yixian and Cheap also came over and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Wen Qingshan stood up and said with a solemn expression: "I'm afraid someone has already gone to that oblique cave before us!" ”

"What!?" Huang Yixian was taken aback.

"Let's not talk so much, let's go to that diagonal cave and have a look!" After Wen Qingshan finished speaking, he walked forward quickly, and we hurriedly followed him.

And the fat cow didn't know what was happening, he was still lying on his back on the big rock panting, I walked a few steps before I thought of him, turned my head and shouted at him: "Fat cow, you wait here, don't go around!" After saying that, I didn't care if he heard it, so I quickly followed.

The further we walked, the more white footprints appeared on the ground, and it seemed that someone had been here last night, and they had brought caustic soda, which meant that they might have entered the diagonal hole!

Finally, I came to the diagonal hole, and sure enough, the smell of hydrogen sulfide that smelled of rotten eggs was gone, but instead there was a pungent smell of caustic soda.

Huang Yixian said to himself: "Who is it? I also came up with this method to remove the poisonous gas in the cave! ”

Wen Qingshan frowned and said, "It must be Bai Xiaowu!" It seems that our guess is correct, there is indeed another group of people who are also looking for treasure, and Bai Xiaowu is also one of theirs! Yesterday he deliberately said that he was willing to take us in search of the treasure, but in fact it was to take advantage of us, and after learning the way to enter this oblique cave, he took the first step into us, and came with his accomplices in the evening. ”

"This guy didn't come today, could it be that they found the treasure last night!?" I couldn't help but chuckle in my heart.

Wen Qingshan pondered for a while, raised his head and said, "I'll go down and take a look, you help me pull the rope!" With that, he put the oxygen mask on his face.

Just in case, he threw another bag of caustic soda into the hole, and then took out a bundle of rope from the bag, tied one end to a large rock, and the other end to his waist, and let us hold on to the rope, and he went into the diagonal hole, and slowly slid down.

After about a minute, the rope was completely straightened and could not be lowered any further, Wen Qingshan shouted at the bottom, "Is the rope not long enough?" I'll untie the rope now and go in and see, you guys are waiting outside. ”

After saying that, the rope that had been straightened suddenly loosened, and it seemed that he had untied the rope.

The cheap asked me in a low voice: "Brother, Boss Wen won't be in any situation, right?" ”

"Definitely not, he is so experienced, how can there be anything!"

"What if those guys are still down there?"

"Don't worry, ordinary people are not Boss Wen's opponents!" I'm not worried about that.

However, after waiting for a while, Wen Qingshan had not come back yet, and I shouted at the diagonal cave: "Boss Wen! ”

But there was no response.

"Boss Wen shouldn't have an accident, right!?" I couldn't help but be a little worried, Huang Yixian looked at the two of us and said, "I'll go down and take a look, you two are waiting up there." ”

When I heard this, I hurriedly stepped forward to stop him and said, "Uncle Shi, let me go down!" You are not in good health, but there is hydrogen sulfide poison gas below, which is very harmful to the elderly! And if something happens, you don't know what to do. ”

Huang Yixian was stunned by what I said, I took the opportunity to put the oxygen mask on my face, and quickly got into the inclined hole, sliding down the rope.

After a few seconds, Huang Yixian reacted and scolded loudly on it: "Stinky boy! Are you talking about Lao Tzu being old, weak, sick and disabled! But then he said, "Be careful, what's the matter, come back quickly!" ”

"Got it, Uncle Shi!"

The inside of the inclined cave is very smooth, as if someone has deliberately polished it, and if there is no rope, it is estimated that it will slide straight down. I slid slowly down the rope, and in a few moments I reached the bottom of the hole. Raising my eyes, I couldn't help but be stunned, there was an artificially made stone cave below, not only the cave wall was very smooth, but also a few meters away in front of me, there was an artificial stone step extending from Xiangshang, but from the position where I was standing, I couldn't see the situation above the stone steps, I immediately understood, no wonder I called Wen Qingshan He didn't respond, it is estimated that he didn't hear it at all.

I raised my legs and was about to walk forward, suddenly I felt that something was not right, looked down, I couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, only to see that in front of my feet, is a pool about two meters wide, boxy, I just looked ahead, I didn't even notice that as long as I took another step forward, I would fall into the pool. I hurriedly retracted my legs.

The pool is full of yellow slurry, and the surface has been sprinkled with a thick layer of soda lime powder, which has been penetrated by the liquid in the pool and has also turned orange-yellow.

After a moment of pause, I realized that the yellow slurry was probably the thing that emitted hydrogen sulfide gas, and if I didn't guess, it was most likely liquid sulfur. That is, this is a pool of sulfur!
