After seven or eight days of driving, the scorching sun was scorching during the day, and the wind and cold were drunk after nightfall.

After all the hard work, they finally arrived at Wuhai, but when Shao Xi and the others looked at the Wuhai in front of them, which was called the Sea of Death, they were all dumbfounded.

In such a place where birds don't poop, will there be treasures?

The surface of the lake seems to be calm and unwavering, and the surrounding area is surrounded by thick salt flowers, which at first glance look like a fairy tale.

There was no grass or trees within a radius of Wuhai for several miles, let alone anything gasping.

Under the blue sky, the whole sea looks like a jewel with silver trim, beautiful but lifeless.

Shao Xi squatted down, grabbed the salt flower on the stone by the lake and rubbed it with his hands, in fact, to some extent, this is not a treasure?

The salt produced in inland salt lakes and salt wells is of better quality than sea salt, but the ancient salt-making process is relatively backward and cannot produce high-quality salt in large quantities.

Otherwise, such a large salt lake with such a high salt content is really a god-sent treasure.

Looking at the endless Wuhai Lake in front of him and the large white flowers and salt flowers around him, Shao Xi began to worry.

The treasure map only shows the location of the treasure, but the surrounding area is empty, where are all the treasures hidden? It can't be at the bottom of this black lake, right?

Shao Xi stood up and looked around again, not to mention the mountain, not even a large stone could be seen, there were not many options for hiding things in such a place.

In Shao Xi's cognition, if the treasure is either buried underground, it is hidden in some valley caves.

Now, all you can see in front of you is this Wuhai, but if such a large treasure is sunk under the Wuhai with such a high salt content, how can these treasures be taken out?

It was impossible for the ancestors of Wuhai Kingdom to not think about how their descendants should find and take out the treasures, so Shao Xi felt that no one would sink such a large fortune into Wuhai with brain cramps.

As for what I saw from the theme of tomb robbery on the Internet back then, it was just some nonsense.

If the ancients could really design and manufacture such sophisticated antiseptic materials and mechanical equipment, there would not have been low productivity leading to large-scale famines from time to time.

However, Shao Xi did not give up any possibility, he turned to Nabihai and asked, "If you were asked to hide something here, where would you hide it?" ”

Nabihai heard from Shao Xi's words that they were looking for something this time, and he didn't know what it was.

Since his employer asked for his opinion, he thought about it seriously and raised his hand to point to the surface of the lake in Wuhai.

"There's nothing in this area, and if you really want to hide anything, the only place is under this black sea.

"But I don't think anyone would do that, and even if they sink something to the bottom, it's impossible to get it out, because no one can dive underwater."

Nabihai's words confirmed Shao Xi's thoughts, and the main reason why Shao Xi thought that the treasure could not be underwater was exactly what Nabihai said.

In a salt lake with such a high salt content, the buoyancy in the water is beyond ordinary people's imagination, and even if some heavy objects really sink to the bottom of the lake, people will not be able to dive.

The huge buoyancy would push people back to the surface, so it would be foolish to sink the treasure to the bottom of the lake, or not to let the treasure be taken out of the lake at all.

In this way, this possibility is basically non-existent.

At this time, Shao Xi felt a little frustrated, sat on the ground, looked at the sky, looked at Wuhai again, looked left and right again, and completely gave up the idea that the treasure would be hidden here.

Isn't that a living hell? It's clearly marked on the map, why can't you see the possibility of the existence of the treasure when you come here? What went wrong? Did you ignore something?

Shao Xi once again took out the map drawn with cloud yarn from his arms, held it in his hand and looked at it again.

You may be in the wrong place, but Nabihai is a well-known guide for the entire Wuhai City.

Shao Xi had also asked him again and again before, and he was very sure that there was nothing wrong with the place where they came now, which was marked by the black dot on the map.

Since there is no problem with the location, what is the problem?

Lao Wu walked to Shao Xi's side and squatted down, looking at the map in front of him with Shao Xi.

Said thoughtfully: "Could it be that this treasure doesn't exist at all, it's just a legend of the royal family of Wuhai Kingdom?" After so many years, no one can prove the existence of this treasure, and it is just a rumor to say that it is not good. ”

Shao Xi shook his head.

"Old Wu, do you believe your junior brother Wei Ping's senior?"

Lao Wu didn't think about it, and replied: "Of course I believe him!" He is the most knowledgeable, the most active, and the most capable of the three of us, and I will not doubt him even if I doubt myself. ”

Hearing Lao Wu's answer, Shao Xi nodded approvingly.

"That's it, even he believes in the existence of this treasure, and even did not hesitate to sneak into the palace of the king of Wuhai and steal the treasure map, and you have seen that map.

"I don't think the ancestors of Wuhai Kingdom will be bored enough to make a fake treasure map for future generations, right? In other words, this treasure is real, and the fact that no one has found it for so many years just shows that this treasure is very hidden.

"You also told me before that if you want to find the treasure, it is not enough to rely on a map, you must crack the clues, so do you have any ideas now?"

Lao Wu looked at the map in Shao Xi's hand and frowned, Shao Xi asked him if he had any ideas, he really didn't have any ideas.

This picture was copied by Shao Xi one-to-one according to the picture that Wei Ping gave them at the beginning, which means that there is no problem with the picture, as for the other old Wu, I really can't say.

After all, he had only heard of this treasure of the Wuhai Kingdom's royal family, and if he really asked him to find any clues, he didn't have any clues.

Just when the two of them were at a loss, Nabihai, who was sitting opposite them, suddenly spoke.

"Young Master Shao, can you raise the picture in your hand a little higher."

Shao Xi didn't understand what Nabihai meant for a while, why did he hold it high?

He was sitting opposite him and Lao Wu at this time, even if he lifted the picture, at most he would only see the back of the picture, why would he let himself hold the picture a little higher?

But at this time, Nabihai was excited, and kept waving his hands to signal Shao Xi to hold up the map in his hand.

Although Shao Xi was a little unsure, he still did what Nabihai meant with a blank face, and slowly lifted the cloud gauze map in his hand.

I saw Nabihai suddenly get up from the ground, run to Shao Xi, and carefully look at the back of the picture.

"This terrain looks so familiar! I seem to have seen it somewhere. ”

Hearing Nabihai say this, Shao Xi was also shocked, and hurriedly turned over the map in his hand.

Because this map is drawn on the original map with cloud veil, the lines depicted on the map can be seen on both sides of the map, and when the map is turned over, it is a completely opposite map.

Shao Xi looked at the reversed map and asked Nabihai with a surprised expression, "Do you know this map?" Does the location on this map really exist? ”

Nabihai wasn't quite sure on his face, but he looked at the map carefully, and after a long time he nodded excitedly.

"It doesn't look exactly the same, but I'm pretty sure I saw this picture a few years ago when I was a guide for a caravan."

Shao Xi suddenly came to his senses when he heard this, and couldn't help but turn his head to look at Lao Wu, at this time, Lao Wu's face also showed a look of joy, and he nodded at Shao Xi.

Shao Xi hurriedly pointed to the black dot on the picture and asked Nabihai, "If you look at this picture, what should be this place?" ”

"It's Jinwu Mountain, surrounded by a large area of the Gobi, and there are generally not many people going there for many years, but some caravans occasionally pass by there in order to take shortcuts in a hurry, and I have only been there once.

"I've heard that there is something very dangerous hidden there, and many people who have been there have not come out of it again, but the only time I have been there has been I have not encountered anything legendary, and I don't know if it is true or not?"

Shao Xi slapped his thigh, there will be no mistake!

Both the name of the place and the legends of the dangerous stuff prove that it is the best place to hide treasure.

As the name suggests, Jinwu Mountain is a place full of gold treasures.

As for the legendary dangerous things, it is very likely that the ancestors of Wuhai Province deliberately created a rumor in order to protect the treasure hidden there, so that people would avoid that place so that the treasure would not be discovered.

And most importantly, there are mountains!

Where there are mountains, there will be caves, and hiding treasures in the mountains is both safe and secret, which is the best choice for hiding treasures, better than such an unobstructed salt lake in front of you.

"How far is it from here to there? How long does it take to get there? ”

Nabihai raised his head and looked around, roughly discerning the direction, and said with some uncertainty: "From here to Jinwu Mountain is farther than from Wuhai City to here, if we follow our previous footsteps, it will take about ten days to walk, are we going there?" ”

Shao Xi nodded towards Nabihai with great certainty, and said with some excitement: "Yes! We're going there now, and we're going to take the nearest road, as fast as possible, and it's up to you along the way. ”

Nabihai was not as excited as Shao Xi, and even a little reluctant.

You must know that Jinwu Mountain has always been a legendary dangerous place, and if it wasn't for the caravan's reward for a silver leaf a few years ago, he would not have risked leading the caravan to it.

All the people who do business and act as guides in Wuhai know that Jinwu Mountain is like a forbidden land drawn by God for the people of Wuhai Kingdom, and no one dares to break into it easily.

Legend has it that there are man-eating monsters that will be left dead if encountered, so no guide would take such a risk for the sake of a meager reward.

But now Shao Xi and the others are going to that place, and Nabihai is actually unwilling in his heart, but the reward given by Shao Xi this time is too much.

You know, that's two gold leaves!

Moreover, he had already received a piece of gold leaf, and if he regretted not going at this time, he would not only have to return the remuneration to his employer, but also felt that this would damage his reputation as the best guide in Wuhai City.

What's best? The best thing is to have zero negative reviews!

All the employers who have hired him will be satisfied with him, he will dare to go where other guides dare not go, and he will not make mistakes where other guides will make mistakes, and this is the best.

Although Nabihai's heart was a little up and down at this time, he still nodded reluctantly.

He only hoped that this trip to Jinwu Mountain would be as smooth as the last time, and that he would never be allowed to encounter the dangerous thing in the legend.

Shao Xi seemed to see Nabihai's thoughts, and he also knew that Nabihai, as an ordinary guide, was indeed a little embarrassed for him to go to Jinwu Mountain, which was extremely dangerous in the hearts of the people of Wuhai.

But seeing that he finally nodded and agreed, Shao Xi also felt very relieved in his heart, this young man was really honest and kind.

So Shao Xi didn't say a word, took out another gold leaf from his arms and handed it to Nabihai's hand.

smiled and said to him: "This is the remuneration we agreed before, now pay you in advance, if this trip goes well, I will give you two more gold leaves later."

"The reward for this trip is doubled, you just need to lead the way for us with peace of mind, if you encounter any danger along the way, you can leave us alone and run away, we will never blame you."

Nabihai was suddenly a little embarrassed by Shao Xi's words, he just hesitated in his heart, but he didn't want Shao Xi to make such a surprise move.

Double the pay! Four gold leaves! At this time, Nabihai felt that this trip was worth it, even if it was desperate.

And the young employer in front of him was so reasonable, and when he encountered danger, he actually let him go first, which Nabihai had never encountered in so many years as a guide.

At this time, he was moved in his heart, and he had been a guide for several years, and almost all employers were arrogant and stingy to him, and most of them were stingy.

A generous and approachable employer like Shao Xi is the first time Nabihai has encountered it.

Looking at the gold leaf in his hand, Nabihai said gratefully: "Childe, we agreed before that it was two gold leaves, and you will hand over the second gold leaf to me before this trip is over, and you will double the reward."

"We also have our own rules as guides, and we can't increase the price halfway through the negotiated remuneration, which will damage the reputation of our guides.

"Although I am only a poor boy in Wuhai City, this trip is already a huge wealth for me, I understand that you can't be too greedy, and the reward is still two gold leaves!"

Shao Xi smiled and patted Nabihai's shoulder.

"The two extra gold leaves for you are not your reward as a guide, but because you helped me discover the mystery on this map, it is not too much to give you two gold leaves from this point."

Every time Shao Xi gives people benefits, he can always find a reason for the other party to accept it with peace of mind.

A few people packed up and set off again, heading in the direction of Jinwu Mountain, wondering if they could find the treasure they were expecting this time?
