Chapter 75: Finding the Key
Chu Jingtian knew that most of Cang Ye's words were said to him, and he instantly understood Cang Ye's intention to say the word 'map' with his mouth shape before. し
Immediately, he asked very cooperatively: "Your Royal Highness, do you have a map of the mountains near here?"
Hearing this, the eyes of more than 100 people lit up, and it is likely that the 'gold, wood, water, fire, earth, wind and thunder' refers to the name of the place where the key is hidden.
"Well, this brother has a good idea. Cang Ye nodded appreciatively, "I haven't asked yet, this brother has a big name?"
"Chu shocking!"
"Good name, I think Brother Chu is resourceful, so please come to me, we can discuss anything at any time. Cang Ye said matter-of-factly.
"Yes, Your Royal Highness. Chu Jingtian was also extremely cooperative, and after the words fell, he took Yemo to Cang Ye's side.
And the others, seeing that Chu Jingtian was so valued, cast envious eyes one after another. But it can't be helped, who made the map the first to think of it.
It's just that they don't know that this is directed by Cang Ye at all, in order to pull Chu Jingtian to his side justifiably.
"Brother Chu, this is the map, you take a look at it first. Cang Ye said, took out a map and handed it to Chu Jingtian.
Chu Jingtian took the map and looked at it.
This is a complete map of the mountains, but at the bottom of the map, there is a circle circled by a red pen, which is supposed to be the hiding area of the key.
Chu Jingtian carefully looked at a small area within the red circle, wanting to find the place name or clue about 'Jinmu, Water, Fire, Earth, Wind and Thunder'.
But he was disappointed.
He looked at the area, but he didn't find any place names with the words 'gold, wood, water, fire, earth, wind and thunder' in it.
Chu Jingtian's brows furrowed, "Could it be that his guess is wrong?" So...... What does gold, wood, water, fire, earth, wind and thunder represent?"
"If you can't think of it, don't be in a hurry. Cang Ye said: "It's been three days since I got this map and hints, but I still haven't figured it out. ”
Chu Jingtian looked at the map again, and after confirming that he had memorized all the areas in the red circle, he passed the map to others, hoping that others would find out.
Half an hour later, the team stopped as they walked into the red circle.
Along the way, everyone looked at the map, but no one could provide clues, not even ideas.
Not far from them, the teams of several other princes also stopped there, and it seemed that they had not found any clues.
Only the second prince, Canglin, stood there alone.
He had sent out all of his men, and was rummaging through the mountains to find the key.
Chu Jingtian glanced at the second prince Canglin with a strange look, and that guy didn't know what to think.
Just look for it, whether he can find the key, not to mention, even if he finds it, can he keep it? How many other people will watch him get the key?
"What do you think?" Cang Ye asked softly to Chu Jingtian beside him.
Chu Jingtian's eyes narrowed slightly.
The range of a hundred miles is not small, and hiding seven keys in such a large area is similar to throwing seven needles into the sea.
Therefore, he judged that the hint of 'gold, wood, water, fire, earth, wind and thunder' must have played a vital role, but they have not yet been able to unravel the meaning of this prompt.
Looking at his surroundings, Chu's shocking gaze suddenly stopped on a mountain peak in the distance.
That peak was nothing special, but it was the highest mountain within a hundred miles.
With a move in his heart, Chu Jingtian said softly: "Anyway, staying here is staying, why don't we go to the highest mountain peak and have a look?"
"It's fine. Cang Ye responded, then waved his hand, stayed with a team of people, and walked forward.
Not far away, several other princes saw Cang Ye's actions, and they also took action with their men and horses. I don't have a clue, but it's impossible to find the key by standing there all the time.
The mountain road was rugged, and more than a hundred people formed a long dragon, which just gave Chu Jingtian and Cang Ye the opportunity to whisper.
Moreover, the two of them are behind Yemo, and they are not worried that someone will eavesdrop.
"This trip to the secret realm is full of dangers, and the reason why I didn't tell you is that I don't want you to come in, but I didn't expect you to come anyway. Cang Ye said lightly, his voice a little heavy.
"Becoming Chu Longwei is the only way to solve our crisis at the moment. Chu Jingtian said.
He understood that Cang Ye didn't tell them, he really didn't want them to get involved in this dispute.
"Hey...... How can it be so simple to seize the reserve!" Cang Ye sighed, as if he was a little helpless.
"You can't be without confidence!" Chu looked at Cang Ye playfully, "For this, you have left me and Yemo to "escape", if you can't seize the reserve, you will be too sorry for us." ”
Through this incident, Cang Ye's weight in Chu Jingtian's heart increased again.
Not only did he not escape from the battle, but he also came to participate in the seizure of the prince without Chu Jingtian, which shows that Cang Ye is also the kind of person who enjoys happiness and hardship.
Being able to meet such a person is a blessing that must be cherished.
"I really don't have confidence!" Cang Ye's expression was a little heavy, "You should have also learned the information of the seven of us, in terms of strength, I am the weakest of all, and in terms of strength, I am also the weakest of all." ”
Speaking of which, he turned his head to look at the group behind him, "I don't even know why these people joined my camp. Perhaps, they didn't think I could take the reserve at all, and I just joined to be able to enter the secret realm and look for some opportunities. ”
Chu Jingtian could see that Cang Ye really didn't have any confidence in seizing the prince.
He immediately encouraged: "Things are man-made, as long as you work hard, you have a chance, you can't give up now." Besides, even if it's for me and Yemo, you have to work hard, don't forget, the Qingqing King is still waiting for us outside, if we can't become Chu Longwei, then we can only escape. ”
Cang Ye glanced at Chu Jingtian, "Perhaps, it was a mistake for me to show you my identity just now, maybe it would be better for you to join the camp of the Great Prince." ”
". Chu Jingtian scolded in a low voice, "Instead of thinking about these useless things, you should think about how to find the key." ”
"Aren't you looking for this?" Cang Ye pointed to the mountain peak in the distance, and at this time he could clearly see the face of the mountain peak.
It was a rocky mountain, and the slopes were full of jagged rocks, with only a few sparse pine trees, showing their tenacity.
However, Wangshan ran a dead horse, and if they wanted to get to the peak, they were afraid that it would not be a short time.
"By the way, these people of yours, have you ever believed it?" Chu Jingtian asked softly.
"It's hard to say. Cang Ye once again showed a hint of helplessness, "You should know about the affairs in the palace, even the guards who have grown up with me since I was a child, I dare not guarantee that someone has planted a spy by my side." ”
Chu Jingtian sighed a little, this is the sorrow of being a royal child, while enjoying the glory, wealth and noble status, but also losing the family and friendship that ordinary people can enjoy.
But he is helpless about this, and no one can change the birth of a person. He immediately said: "When we reach the foot of the mountain, let everyone separate, and don't let people follow us." ”
Cang Ye looked at Chu Jingtian with some strangeness, "Do you already know something, how do I feel that you seem to be very sure that you can find the key." ”
Chu Jingtian shook his head, "I'm not very sure, I only have some ideas, but just in case, let's keep everyone apart, if you find the key, it's best not to let others know." ”
"Good. Cang Ye replied and didn't say anything more. A group of one hundred and fifty-one people walked quickly towards the highest mountain within a hundred miles.
According to the markings on the map, that peak is called Tianming Mountain.
After more than two hours, the group finally arrived at the foot of Tianming Mountain.
At this time, they had already walked a short distance, and the teams of the other princes were completely invisible.
According to Chu Jingtian's opinion, Cang Ye asked everyone to disperse to find the key.
And he, following Chu Jingtian and Ye Mo, walked quickly towards the top of the mountain.
For this scene, Cang Ye's guards all felt a little strange, and they felt that Cang Ye seemed to trust Chu Jingtian and Yemo more than they did.
And the other forty or so students of Canglong Academy who joined Cangye's camp were a little envious that Chu Jingtian and Yemo could be so respected.
However, no matter what they were thinking, they didn't dare to disobey Cang Ye's order, and immediately searched around the mountain peak.
Tianming Mountain was only nearly a thousand meters high, and it took Chu Jingtian and the three of them less than ten minutes to climb to the top of the mountain.
Just looking at the bare mountaintop, Chu Jingtian's brows furrowed.
The top of the mountain was a palm-sized place, and you could see it at a glance, but there was nothing, and they didn't find anything.
"Nothing!" Cang Ye said with some puzzlement.
"Looks like I'm wrong. Chu Jingtian smiled bitterly and explained: "This Tianming Mountain is the highest peak within a hundred miles, standing here overlooking the surroundings of a hundred miles, there is a feeling of dominating the world, so I think there may be a key hidden here." ”
"But now it seems ......" Chu Jingtian spread his hands and didn't say any more.
Who knows, Cang Ye's eyes lit up, "Don't say it, I think it's really possible?" Let's look around this mountaintop." ”
After the words fell, the three of them immediately looked for it around the top of the mountain.
Chu Jingtian's eyes looked carefully along the slope down the top of the mountain, and he always felt that only in this way could he meet the feeling of condescension.
Looking down the edge of the mountain, he turned slowly, but he found nothing but a jagged rock and a few pine trees.
It's just that the more he looked, the more Chu Jingtian felt that he must have ignored something.
But what exactly is being overlooked?
