As soon as it was dawn, I was still in a daze, when a rapid slamming of the door rang out, instantly pulling me back to reality.

It was the two middle-aged men who brought us into the village yesterday.

They were full of anger and said that you were not welcome here.

At the same time, he glanced vigorously at the five-clawed golden dragon.

What does this mean?

Could it be that they found out about our handling of the tanned corpses?

Sun Xiao squeezed out a smiling face uneasily, greeted him, muttered, and added a few gestures to ease the tense faces of the two people.

Still, they kept their faces black.

first pointed to the door, then pointed in another direction, and finally yelled at Sun Xiao for something.

I can see it.

They're driving us away.

Sun Xiao glanced back at the five-clawed golden dragon, and the expression on his face was not wonderful.

After a brief packing and carrying our bags, we left the village under the watchful eyes of two sturdy men.

Seeing that no one was coming, Li Di was puzzled: "The people in this village are so weird, why are they full of hostility towards us after one night?" ”

Hearing this, I grinned.

"Why don't you understand? It must be our amiable and respectable Uncle Long who went out to make trouble last night. ”

Li Di turned his head to look at the five-clawed golden dragon and asked, "What did you do when you went out last night?" ”

The reckless five-clawed golden dragon didn't care at all: "What bad thing can I do?" It's just that I was hungry and went out to find something to eat. ”

Sun Xiao said in a timely manner: "You, it's really our Uncle Long, you went out to find food, turned over the kitchen of the entire village, and finally hit the swamp miasma, and ran to the grass ghost mother-in-law's house to steal medicinal tea, and was discovered by the Gu raised by others......"

……

According to the notes, the next step is to find a place called "A Line of Heaven".

But where that place is, there is no record in the notes.

It seems that Sun Xiao's old friend has also lost his way in the dense forest.

However, there are notes at the end.

"The so-called first line of heaven is that there is a gap between the two peaks, just like the whole mountain has been split in half with an axe, the stone walls on both sides are flat, exposed, and there is no grass, the width is about one meter, and the narrow place has to be sideways to pass. According to my speculation, the tomb of King Dian is in the first line of heaven, because there are traces of a large construction there, but I have been back and forth many times, and finally failed to find the entrance, which is a big regret for this life! ”

Seeing this, I can understand the helplessness and regret of Sun Xiao's old friend.

At this point, we were already deep in the forest.

But where is the silver lining?

The ancient trees are towering, covering the sky and the sun, and the vines and weeds are growing wildly, and it is difficult for us to even get off our feet, and it is even more difficult to find a line of sky.

Fortunately, we have the ancient divine beast of the five-clawed golden dragon as our company.

I just looked at it.

It immediately consciously incarnated into its own body and flew up in a circle.

It didn't take long for it to fly back to us, screaming excitedly that it had found it.

Then he flew us to another place.

Two peaks rise high into the sky.

There is a narrow gap between the peaks that leads to a secluded and deep place.

A glimmer of heaven, this name is really apt.

The five-clawed golden dragon flew directly with us.

At this point, we were completely on our own, and there was no more information to refer to in our notes.

The forest of the queen of heaven is even more ancient and deep, any tree has to be hugged by several people, and vines and weeds are even more entangled.

At a glance, it is infinitely blue.

We have five days left.

How difficult is it to find a cave entrance in such a primeval forest for five days?

But what's the solution?

Without stopping, our group searched for the architectural traces recorded in the notes.

Half a day later, we didn't develop at all, and we were all embarrassed by the blood cuts on the vines.

After all, Sun Xiao is old and in poor health.

His face was sallow, and the sweat on his head hadn't stopped since he entered the forest.

Seeing that he was struggling to walk, I proposed to rest several times, but he refused.

I know he's afraid of holding us back.

"Didn't the notes say that there were traces of a lot of construction? Why didn't we find out? ”

Li Di was at a loss.

Sun Xiao comforted her and said, "We've only been here for less than a day, how can we find it so easily?" My old man has been wandering around here for half his life. Let's find out. ”

With this trick, it was found that it was dark.

Just when I was frustrated and thought that I would not gain anything, the five-clawed golden dragon suddenly jumped up to a big tree, pointed not far ahead, and shouted at us, "Look, the trees here are so strange. ”

What can be so strange about trees?

Aren't they all trees?

I muttered and ran at it.

When it saw me running over, it jumped down from the tree, pointed to the other side, and said, "You see that the trees over there are all straight and upward, and they are densely packed for Mao, one next to the other?" Still in a circle? ”

When I looked closely, the trees here were indeed strange, huddled together one by one, like conjoined babies, many of them had been crowded and deformed, and looked much smaller than the trees in other places.

What's going on?

"This is cedar wood, this kind of tree has a long growth period, not a few hundred years into a tree, it has a hard texture, does not rot in water, anti-corrosion and heat preservation, dedicated to high-end buildings." Sun Xiao heard my conversation with the five-clawed golden dragon, and also followed, and when he saw those trees, he sighed, "Haha, we've found the right place." ”

Sun Tong stroked the tree and laughed excitedly, laughing at me confused, I said, "Old Sun, how do you conclude that we have found the right place?" Just because these trees are cedar? ”

Sun Tong shook his head and said: "Naturally not, you look at these cedar trees, the reason why they grow into clumps is because they have been cut down by people." ”

After a pause, he continued: "After it was cut down, new branches came out of the roots, and over time they grew into what they are now. ”

Li Di's brain was brighter than mine, and she immediately thought of something, and continued: "So, here are the traces of the great construction recorded in the notes?" ”

Sun Xiao nodded, unable to hide the joy in his heart, and said excitedly: "It seems that the tomb of King Dian is near here." ”

I was both happy and nervous to hear this.

The four of us circled around the cedar wood.

The area is very large, and it looks like there are thousands of trees.

The more I looked at it, the more puzzled I became: "In ancient times, dignitaries and nobles liked to open a mountain as a mausoleum and dig the ground for a tomb, generally looking for a favorite mountain, hollowing out the interior and burying it in, not much wood is needed at all, what is the use of cutting down so many trees?" ”

Sun Xiao was in a very good mood at this time, he smiled and said: "You haven't had much contact with many tombs, maybe you think that the tomb only needs to dig the mountain, but in fact, the funeral ceremonies of each dynasty are different, in the tombs of the Han Dynasty, there is a mausoleum structure called 'boxwood', while digging the mountain, you also need to use a lot of wood, and the alias of boxwood is cedar wood." ”
