The raft stopped in front of a wooden stack, and the night had covered the village.

Zhang Qixun and they got off the raft, and in addition to the agreed final payment, Zhang Qixun gave two more.

Lan Baihong thanked the two and rowed back on the raft overnight.

They couldn't be more familiar with the road in Banai Village, so they quickly turned on the light and found the stone road to Agui's bamboo building, and the group looked for it.

Smelling the smell of rice remaining in the air in the village all the way, everyone was hungry, and rushed to Agui's house non-stop, and saw the newly built sentry bamboo platform at the door.

Seeing a group of people coming towards this side from a distance, one of the Huo family members who was on guard asked vigilantly, "What person?" At the same time, he turned the big light on the shelf around.

How do you look at this situation, how it looks like the puppet army guarding the city gate during the Anti-Japanese War, holding a high-power searchlight and preparing for a night attack under the daredevil.

Huo Xiaoli hurriedly put his finger to his mouth and whistled a few times, which was the Huo family's unique contact information.

The two Huo family members who were on guard above heard the sound, looked at it with binoculars, and immediately came down to open the wooden door for them.

Walking in, the fat man swept around the layout for the first time, and saw that there was basically no major change, and the displeasure in his heart eased slightly, he almost thought that the Agui family had made the Huo family a village on the mountain of the green forest.

After Huo Xiuxiu went up the mountain, now the person in charge here is a middle-aged Huo family named Huo Qiji, and the fat man also complained about this name at the beginning, this person is a relatively loyal member of the Baoyan Party.

"Aren't you acting with the head of the house? Why did you suddenly go down the mountain. ”

Huo Qiji asked, glanced at Zhang Qixun and the three of them, realized that the situation might have changed, and immediately put his left hand behind his back and gestured to the person in the dark, signaling the messenger to immediately go up the mountain to investigate.

The person in the shadow of the bamboo building received the order and was about to withdraw from another direction, but when he saw Zhang Qixun turning his head directly to look at him, he immediately stopped his movements, held his breath and stood still, he could feel that Yu Ye was staring at him.

Thanks to Huo Xiaoli for explaining the situation in a timely manner, although Huo Qiji was suspicious, he didn't say anything more, only arranged for someone to go down to boil water and cook for them, prepare the room, and then let the remaining Huo family members go to the place where the discussion was held and wait.

Zhang Qixun retracted his gaze at this time, smiled at Huo Qiji, who was aware of the direction he was looking, and then beckoned the fat two to go up to the bamboo building where they lived before.

Seeing the backs of the three disappear upstairs, Huo Qiji squinted his eyes slightly, gently waved his hand to let the messenger retreat, and then walked to his own room next door, and looked around Huo Xiaoli's face before speaking, "Tell me, what happened." ”

Huo Xiaoli told them the ins and outs of the matter completely, and he dispelled his suspicions about Zhang Qixun.

After resting for a night, early the next morning, Zhang Qixun and them braved the light rain to go up the mountain and rushed to meet Huo Xiangu and them.

It took a day and a night to hurry, and when the clinker arrived at the place, he found that there was no Huo Xiangu in the camp, and after asking the people who stayed behind, he knew that Huo Xiangu sent a team of people to search for them after losing contact with them, so he personally led the team and reopened the mechanism, and led the team into the sealing stone this morning, and it has not come out yet.

It's morning now, Zhang Qixun and the little brother glanced at each other, their expressions were a little dignified, and then they sorted out their backpacks and put a little light equipment in them.

Then he pulled the fat man, avoiding everyone's sight, and said in a low voice in his ear: "Although I don't know where the problem is, there is an error in the operation of the mechanism of the third door, according to the naïve prompt, this mistake is limited to the number of times, my little brother and I will go in and take them out, and you must pay attention to safety when you stay in the camp." ”

When the lynx army attacked last time, the inner ghost who secretly assisted in smashing the tent lamp with a collapsed shoulder has not been found until now, and the situation was critical at that time, and the scene was too chaotic for anyone to notice the inner ghost's actions.

This person is a time bomb, although Zhang Qixun has a few suspicions in his heart, he is not 100% sure.

Some of the people that Huo Xiangu brought when she left were the last time they entered, and some of them were originally left in the camp, although the Huo family members who Zhang Qixun suspected also followed up this time, but it was difficult to guarantee that there would be no other hidden deeper ghosts in the camp.

Huo Xiangu opened the second sealing stone, the mechanism has not been closed, Zhang Qixun and the little brother should be able to catch up with them as quickly as possible after entering.

The fat man grabbed him, frowned, and said, "Since there is a limit to the number of times, what if you are trapped inside and can't get out this time?" ”

Zhang Qixun patted him on the shoulder and signaled him to rest assured, "The trial-and-error mechanism of Zhangjia Gulou can't be only this time, and we have at least one more chance to get out." ”

The fat man knew that if he went in together, he would definitely slow down the two of them, so he nodded his head heavily, "Okay, you two should be careful, go early and come back early." ”

After briefly instructing some things, Zhang Qixun and the little brother walked into the cave again, and soon entered the third sealing stone.

The tomb road inside has hardly changed from before, it is still a smooth stone road, but after walking a hundred meters, the two of them found something unusual.

This time the stone path was much longer than the last one, and the two of them found a particularly small fire mark in a very hidden place near the end of the road.

This mark is different from the previous two sealing stones, and the direction of the flame pattern is more complicated, as if it is conveying something.

It is the same as the unique marking function of the Zhang family, but Zhang Qixun couldn't see what this meant, he could only guess that this might be because Zhang Menyu discovered a certain law of passage changes, so he left a mark for himself who entered for the third time to verify his guess.

The next section is still a straight square tomb road, the old traces of artificial repair on the mountain wall are very clear, they advanced about five hundred meters, and found some biscuit packaging bags left by Huo Xiangu when they rested, there are bullet marks on the wall, and there are still spurting spots of blood on the ground, which have spread to the wall.

Apparently something has happened here, and even something so serious that one of the parties used a firearm.

But except for a pool of blood on the side of the wall, there is no corpse here, and this amount of bleeding is not enough to make people lose too much blood and die, maybe this shot was Huo Xiangu took the initiative to let go, the purpose is to temporarily deter, and suppress this small group of people with the serious injury of one of the small leaders.

As long as the person is not dead, the remaining minions will not be able to rebel, not to mention that there are other small forces waiting for an opportunity on the side.

The little brother stared at the pool of blood, the lamp in his hand flickered, then squatted down, took out a warhead from the gap in the stone wall with his fingers, looked at it, and handed it to Zhang Qixun.

Just looking at the spiral scratches on the warhead, Zhang Qixun knew that this bullet was fired by the MP5 in the hands of one of Huo Chushi and them.

It seems that his speculation just now is right, a small part of the Huo family may want to take advantage of the rest to secretly hold Huo Xiangu hostage and blackmail the Son of Heaven to order the princes, after all, the style thunder and the photos are in Huo Xiangu's hands, and only Huo Xiangu knows whether the road is correct or not.

Zhang Qixun sighed softly, the master behind this group of people is not good, he is so uncontrollable, he actually dares to argue with Mrs. Huo in person.

If it weren't for the extraordinary period, after this rain, it is estimated that mushrooms would begin to grow on the graves.

Zhang Qixun softly told his inference to the little brother, "When they entered this time, they didn't bring a lot of equipment like last time, it seems that Mrs. Huo is ready for a second failure." ”

Otherwise, she wouldn't be so anxious, knowing that the little brother had lost contact, she hurriedly took someone in.

This entry is just an experiment she has done, to verify what the problem is, and by the way, to deal with some little minions who are about to be unable to hold back, so as not to get in the way at a critical time.

The little brother nodded, looked at the stone road in front of him with the light on, and said in a low voice, "Let's go." ”

The two of them continued to speed up their pace, and this time they found a lot of scattered wood on the ground of the stone road, which had been scraped off the bark, and the specifications were very uniform, the length was one meter, and the diameter was the thickness of the mouth of the bowl of the usual meal, which was a very regular long cylindrical shape.

Although the wood has dried up, there are no signs of cracking and mildew on it, and it can be seen that it has not been left here for a long time.

"This is the wood of the large-leaved eucalyptus, and the most common tree species in Guangxi is the eucalyptus tree, which grows very quickly, and can grow so thick in three or four years." Zhang Qixun squatted down and removed a few pieces of wood from their original positions, "And you see, there are obvious traces of pressing under these woods, which reminds me of the sleepers laid under the train tracks." ”

The little brother frowned slightly, and said succinctly, "Someone has used them to transport things." ”

"That's right." Zhang Qixun nodded and added, "And looking at those marks, they should still be relatively heavy things." ”

Using these timbers under heavy loads is equivalent to installing rollers on the things to be transported, which can achieve twice the result with half the effort.

So the question is, who is laying all this wood here, and what are they transporting?

The two of them walked along the wood again, and found that in some places where there was no wood, there were still indentations on the ground, that is, the original wood in these open spaces was taken away by them directly after they finished transporting things.

And what about the remaining remnants of wood?

Zhang Qixun pondered for a while, and suddenly spoke, "Little brother, do you think that Chen Wenjin's expedition team lingered in Banai for so long, was it really just for archaeology?" ”

The little brother pursed his lips, thought for a while, and finally shook his head, his memory recovered sporadically, but it was still incomplete, and the memory fragments in his mind lacked a key string that could connect them together.

Zhang Qixun said in a deep voice: "I think that although Siguniang Mountain suffered heavy losses at the beginning, the people behind the organization must have gotten some clues from it, so they reorganized the young people of the new generation of Jiumen to look for Zhangjia Ancient Building in Banai in the name of archaeology." ”

"In the two years that Banai was entrenched, they should have found the entrance to the ancient building, and then used the code obtained from Siguniang Mountain to unlock the sealing stone, and brought in the wood prepared in advance, the ultimate purpose was actually to send something into the Zhangjia Ancient Building."

"But something happened in between, and their plan failed."

The people behind it may have gotten the wrong password from Siguniang Mountain like them, but they didn't know about it, they just wanted to find a way for the Zhang family to live a long life from the Zhangjia Ancient Building, and at the same time, Zhang Qishan knew that if they wanted to enter the Zhangjia Ancient Building, they had to be under the leadership of the Zhang family patriarch.

So in that era, "it" relied on its own power to search for Zhang Qiling, who disappeared after Siguniang Mountain, all over the country.

The collapsed shoulder is the closest replacement to Zhang Qiling that Zhang Qishan found.

Later, under the guise of archaeology, the group searched for traces of the existence of ancient buildings everywhere in Banai, during which they must have found Milota in the middle of the mountain, and the iron pieces fished up from the bottom of the lake were tools to deal with Milota.

However, in the process of searching, the health of the person who wanted to obtain the method of immortality deteriorated sharply, and he was about to return to the west, and it was urgent to enter the Zhangjia Ancient Building.

And when they finally found the entrance to the ancient building, that person had already passed away, so the original plan to find the secret became a funeral.

When Chen Wenjin and the others went to explore, the team that stayed outside was greedily killed by Panma, and in the lake of abandoned corpses, Xie Jiuye took the opportunity to fill the vacancy with his own people.

Because it was a wrong password when they entered, Chen Wenjin and they encountered a strong alkali trap in the ancient building, and almost all the troops were wiped out, only a few Chen Wenjin escaped from the underwater passage of the ancient building by mistake.

Due to the urgency of time, they did not find that the outside team members had been replaced, and in the same way, Panma thought that the person he killed had come back to life, and Xie Jiu Ye had a little trick, and he was already frightened and tight-lipped about what had happened at that time.

Fake Zhang Qiling was seriously injured by strong alkali corrosion, and was abandoned by them in the ancient building, and finally escaped in a thrilling way, but it has been tacitly regarded as death, and since then he has been hiding in the mountains, cooperating with Panma, using his familiarity with the terrain and environment, to murder people who try to enter the ancient building of Zhangjia, and the crooked dried kernel corpse on the tree in the valley is evidence.

With the experience of the first exploration, Chen Wenjin and the others entered the ancient building for the second time, and at the same time laid rolling logs to transport the leader's coffin into it, hoping to replace the coffin of the ancestors of the Zhang family.

In the process, the fake archaeological team suddenly attacked, snatched the leader's body and sealed it with molten iron, burned all the materials, and then began to flee with the corpse.

Immediately, after it found something unusual, it began to hunt down Xie Jiuye's team from all over the world, and in 1979, Xie Jiuye and they fled to Hangzhou, and were hunted and killed in the largest range, and they had to ask Wu Laogou for help.

It happened that at that time, Wu Sanxing was exploring a hidden imperial tomb of the Southern Song Dynasty under Hangzhou in the name of building a shop, and Wu Laogou simply used a trick to shed the golden cicada and hide the corpse in the imperial tomb.

Without any worries, Xie Jiu Ye began to fully confront its forces.

Thanks to the big guy for the reward, more than a super big heart·· *
