Thick clouds shrouded the moon, and the surroundings became dark, except for a faint light from one of the cabins of the small boat, which flickered like a ghostly fire.

"Haomei once said that he would go back to the boat and rest before setting off. From this point of view, she may not have set off yet, probably preparing, right? It must have been Old Man Yang who ran back and reported Haomei. That's when she decided to leave early. But, even so, Mrs. Li Yue, you are still a step too late. ”

Although Bai Lang thought so, he never dared to relax in the slightest, and pedaled the car harder. The night breeze was very cold, and there was a bone-chilling cold, which blew Bai Lang's ears painfully.

The bicycle sped through the night. After 30 minutes, it started to go downhill, and suddenly, the wheel hit something. The collision was so fierce that Shirarou couldn't hold it anymore and fell out, unable to get up immediately. At that moment, two men came out of the grass and walked towards them.

Bai Lang was taken aback, forgot the pain, and hurriedly climbed behind the rocks of the hill to hide. After a while, the two men took out their flashlights and said as they shone around:

"Huh? Why not! Where the hell did that guy fall?"

"I think it's going to be that guy, and there's nothing wrong with that. Pulling up a thick rope on such a downhill path is sure to trip him up. ”

Bai Lang was very familiar with the voices of these two people, and he was sure that it must be Tan Jihong and Ma Quan.

"It's hard to fathom! Where did it fall? This sudden fall was indeed enough for him to bear, and he probably fell half to death and fainted. In short, we have to find him. ”

Shirarou quietly climbed down the hill and ran into the weedy woods.

His face was covered with blood, and his clothes were punctured. But he had to endure the pain, holding his breath and hiding in the grass.

"Strange, why is it nowhere to be!"

This is Tan Jihong's voice. At this time, someone in a carriage under the hillside spoke: "No need to look for it, it's important to hurry, come back!" This is the cow ridge.

"It's a shame that we may have been discovered. This guy is cunning and may have fled now. ”

"I'm glad that his bike can't be ridden and we can go with peace of mind. No matter how long his legs were, he would never catch up with the carriage. Tan Jihong, smash his bike!"

Tan Jihong and Ma Quan destroyed Bai Lang's bicycle before returning to the carriage.

When Bai Lang saw the carriage walking away, he stood up and galloped in the direction of the carriage. He was furious, and it wasn't all because of the 1,000-odd gems, and he didn't want to lose to these people in his heart.

Besides, it was he who decoded the profound code words, but now he was used by his opponent, and he was really unwilling.

Hakuro was determined to defeat them, so he ran after the carriage. In fact, he was more than 100 meters away from the carriage that Niu Zhang was riding.

Bai Lang was not willing to fail, because he still had hope, and this hope was enough to lift his spirits, that is, Niu Zhang and Hao Mei, none of them knew where the granite was

Of course, Bai Lang didn't know. However, since everyone does not know, even if the carriage arrives first, it will take a lot of time to find the granite.

Thinking of this, Bai Lang's spirits were even more perked. He shook off his two big feet and ran desperately after the carriage.

When I was approaching the apricot shop, I saw a person carrying a wind lamp in front of me. Niu Zhang sat in the carriage and did not signal to stop, and the carriage passed at great speed.

Bai Lang didn't want to stop, but just as he was about to pass, he suddenly found that the person carrying the wind lantern was actually an old monk, and he seemed to think of something in an instant and stopped suddenly.

"Amitabha."

"Amitabha."

The monk also replied kindly.

This monk is from Kyoko Putennoji Temple, and he came to the village next to him because he was doing business, and now, he is about to go back. Bai Lang met the old monk on the way, and the two chatted as they walked. Shirarou professes to be a person with a keen interest in archaeology.

"I heard that there is a big rock around here, have you heard?" Bai Lang asked tentatively.

"Oh, you're probably talking about a rock around here called the 'Queen Mother' Rock, right?"

When Bai Lang heard the words 'Queen Mother', he couldn't help but be happy in his heart: Isn't this the noble lady he told Haomei last night that the 'Queen'?

This statement, since even the old monk has affirmed it, must be true and reliable. Bai Lang secretly rejoiced in his heart at this latest discovery. He continued to ask the old monk for advice:

"I heard that the rock is in the village of Xingzipu, is it true?"

"Yes, it's only 4 kilometers from here, but there's no secret in it. It is just a stone pile made up of some small stones, and almost all of them are buried in the soil, and the highest point is only about 10 meters away from the water surface of the Huangfu River. ”

"I heard that the land is publicly owned by the village, right?"

"It was like that five or six years ago, but now it's been bought by a guy named Deng Huashuang. He was going to build a dock there. ”

In the end, Bai Lang asked the old monk again:

"I was running so fast, I just wanted to go there. Excuse me, is there a shortcut to get there?"

The kind old monk introduced a shortcut to Shiraro in detail.

Bai Lang repeatedly thanked the old monk, and then he began to run desperately again.

"Well, this time it's a win. Those guys won't know about the path, and even if they did, they wouldn't be able to walk in a wagon. Besides, they didn't know that the rock was in the land that Deng Huashuang bought. ”

Bai Lang was in good spirits, and he was extremely relaxed at the beginning. Therefore, before 3 o'clock, Bai Lang rushed to the land that Deng Hua bought twice. He got into the fence at the boundary, struck a match and observed the situation around him, and when he knew the direction, he ran over. After a while, he came to what appeared to be a freshly built embankment, and he walked along the bank of the Huangfu River.

On this side of the embankment, he didn't find the rock either. At this time, the eastern sky was already white, and the sky was about to dawn.

Bai Lang had no choice but to sit down, and he would talk about it after dawn. That granite must not be far from here, and the more than 1,000 gems may be at his feet.

"Niu Zhang and Haomei have finally been defeated by me!"

He seemed to have obtained the more than 1,000 gems, and a smile of victory appeared on his face.

As the sky gradually brightens, the water surface of the Huangfu River is white, the sound of the waves crashing on the shore is clearly audible, and the breeze blows the dense reeds, making a loud noise.

Shirarou stood up and walked upstream along the embankment. The scenery around him gradually became clearer, and he carefully observed everything around him as he walked. After walking about 30 steps, Shiraro noticed a slight bulge in the ground in front of him, and through the weeds, he could see several protruding gray rock tops.

"That's right! It must be there!"

Bai Lang screamed, and then ran there.
