"I came from the capital to find someone, Twelve Heavenly Officials, seeing the things you did in the cave, I have long been clear about your conspiracy and tricks, take me out now, and see what tricks you have?"

The woman did not have the slightest fear, and looked at me calmly: "Young man, if you are a thief, I advise you to leave now, I will not tell others...... Whatever you steal, you deserve it, so let's go! ”

I was so angry with her, I had never seen anyone so brazen.

"Let's go, come out with me!"

I pulled her up and pushed her towards the stone wall.

I had to expose her, in front of everyone, and let her know that there was still a law in the outside world.

She was honest and obedient, and pressed her hands on the stone wall—

As the stone wall slowly turned, the warm light cast down again.

I heard the hustle and bustle of people, and my mood suddenly became extremely bright.

It is like a traveler who sees light through the darkness, and the nightmare is finally over.

Outside, there are shops and streets, similar to many of the city's specialty streets.

Where we stood, there were counters on the left and right that displayed jade and medicinal herbs, and several waitresses in overalls were entertaining customers and selecting jade combs for them.

Right in front of me was the cash collection counter, on which were cash registers, ledgers, folders, and stationery boxes.

I breathed a sigh of relief, thinking of what Meng Eighteen had said.

This mysterious organization has opened up the mountain, and on the other side of the cave, opened up a craft market, blended into the life of the locals, and became the most perfect disguise.

The woman and I walked out, and the people outside didn't look horrified, still talking about the goods.

"What is this place?"

I quickly put away my knife and retreated vigilantly, beware of a sneak attack.

"Look there, tourist map...... If you can read a map, you know how stupid you are! ”

The woman frowned and stroked her throat gently.

I was very measured and didn't let her get hurt accidentally.

There is a map inserted in the bamboo tube on the table, and on the wall on the right, there is a huge map of Lingnan.

The red dot in the center of the map represents this style street.

It is roughly estimated that the straight-line distance from here to the town of Meng Huo is seven kilometers, and there is a mountain road, which detours 100 kilometers to the north, passing through the foot of the mountain, and can detour back to the town of Meng Huo.

The name of this style street is "Longtou Street", and the name of the town is "Qingyun Town", which is sandwiched by two mountain beams, and is an ancient street in Lingnan that has just been developed in recent years.

According to the map, there is a thousand-year-old Tang Dynasty post station on Longtou Street, and Yang Guifei used to transport lychees by a fast horse for thousands of miles, passing through Longtou Street.

At present, Qingyun Town has a total of 180 households, with a local population of 1,900 people plus a foreign population, making it the most prosperous place on the north-south ancient road.

"Hey, you're really reckless, you can't help but say that you broke in and used a knife and a gun...... Let's go, I won't pursue it, let's go, let's go......"

The woman looked me up and down and pushed me out of the store.

She wore a badge on her chest and a large jade wrench on each thumb of her hands, and although she was in the midst of extreme anger, she still maintained a dignified manners.

I stood on the street, looked left and right, and gradually made a difference between north and south.

In this ordinary mountain town, I suddenly felt a little lost, and I didn't know where I came from.

The crowd next to me came and went, not even noticing my presence.

It's hard for me to understand that after walking through the cave, getting here.

On the other hand, wouldn't it be more convenient to enter directly from the other side of the cave? It's easy to forget what happened to Milan and the mercenaries, who are now locked up in a cave.

I walked forward for a while, and a small stream flowed merrily on the side of the street, and many passers-by picked up their cups and bent down to drink.

I already had a dry mouth and drank two glasses of water like them.

No matter which way you look at it, Qingyun Town is a paradise in the mountains, and those who can reach it are all from exploring along the rugged mountain ancient roads.

I walked along the street and walked all over Qingyun Town.

I sat down on the side of the road, wanting to contact Meng Shibai and tell her what I had seen and heard, and all this must have been beyond her expectations.

He took me to the waterfall of the Nine Rings, and the rest of the matter was out of control.

I had just taken out my phone when I suddenly felt dizzy and slowly lay down......

The crowd around me was shocked and shouted, and my vision became very blurry, and I could only see some shaking shadows, and I couldn't recognize which face.

I heard someone yelling, "Go to the doctor...... Get the doctor here......"

I felt my breathing stop, as if I was entering another nightmare, and I quickly lost consciousness......

When I woke up and lay on a bamboo bed, Meng Shibai sat next to me, holding a magazine in his hand, drowsy.

On the stove next to it, there is a casserole with decoction of herbs, which exudes the fragrance of herbs......

I sat up, and Meng Shibai opened his eyes suddenly: "You finally woke up, this week has scared people to death, and it has also exhausted people to death." I thought you would never wake up again, and you had prepared for the worst. ”

Meng Shiba's face was full of tiredness, and he brought the teacup, which was filled with a thick brown medicinal juice.

I remembered that when I fainted, I was on the other side of the mountain, and now I have a lot to tell her, but as soon as I opened my mouth, she stopped me: "You are very weak now, don't say anything." Four village doctors have been here, and they all think that you are evil, insane, and cannot be trusted for anything you say...... This is Lingnan, and evil things are too frequent. ”

Of course, I didn't fall into the evil spirit, but I spent too much time in the cave to get used to it when I walked into the sun, so I fainted.

Now, I hope that Meng 18 can help me find some people to rescue Milan first.

I drank the cup of herbs, and suddenly my mouth was full of bitterness, and my tongue was numb.

"Ye Tian, you have been talking nonsense every day for the past week, and there is not a word that people can understand. I advise you to hurry back to the capital and never come to Lingnan again. ”

I have experienced very strange things, if Meng Shibai is not willing to listen, no one will understand.

I grabbed her hand and forced her to sit down and listened to me describe all the details of entering the waterfall.

I thought I had said it clearly, but Meng Shibai always had a confused expression on his face.

When I finished speaking, she began to shake her head: "There is no place in the mountains, neither Qingyun Town, nor Longtou Street. According to what you described, the map is less than ten kilometers away from here in a straight line, and you can see it as long as you climb over the mountain beam, and I can assure you that there is nothing there. ”

I described the scene on that street again, and Meng Shibai laughed: "You just had a nightmare, and then you fainted, and were rescued by passers-by, fortunately, you told Meng Huozhen's address and my name in a coma, and they sent you over." Anything strange can happen in the valleys of the Lingnan region, so no matter what you say, whether it's right or wrong, it will be regarded as nonsense by others, and when you get better, leave immediately and never come back......"

I argued repeatedly, and in the end, Meng Shibai was silent, but her expression showed that she couldn't listen to a word of my words.

It's a pity that I don't have a map on me, so I can't prove the existence of Qingyun Town.

But according to common sense, Meng Shibai should indeed know the situation on the other side of the mountain, not to mention, the ancient road is smooth from north to south, and you can reach Meng Huo Town by bypassing the foot of the mountain, which is undeniable.

Meng Shibai opened the drawer, took out a map, and spread it in front of me: "Ye Tian, take a good look, the mountain is still the mountain, and I don't know where the exit of the cave is?" There is no so-called ancient road and Qingyun Town, if there is, why should I take you to the Nine Links, wouldn't it be easier to enter directly from there? ”

I looked at this map of Lingnan, which clearly marked the address of Meng Huo Town, but there was no other road within 10 kilometers of the surrounding area.

This is not possible, my mind is clear, I did see the woman, and the tourists coming and going on the street, and the waitress in the shop is real, otherwise why would my memory be so clear?

I said again that I drank the water in the creek, and Meng Shibai clapped his hands violently: "Ye Tian, you probably haven't done your homework in advance, in Lingnan, you can't drink any surface water, you don't know how many poisonous insects pass by above, you can return to the West Heaven with a sip, there are so many examples in the past, have you forgotten?" ”

It dawned on me that this was indeed a very terrible mistake, and that it was against common sense to see others drink water and follow their example.

Maybe it was really dizzy and confused at that time that I made such a low-level mistake, and my fainting may have been caused by drinking water.

We discussed for most of the day, but Meng Shibai didn't believe what I said, she thought that when I entered along the waterfall, I was threatened with poison gas and eventually hallucinated.

Leaving the mountain from a small road, I returned to the mainland and lay directly in the middle of the main road.

"This is a lost battle, you are not suitable to explore in Lingnan at all, it is better to go back quickly, don't lose your life here. As for your partner Milan, and those mercenaries, you simply don't have the power to save them. ”

Our discussion broke up unhappily, and Meng Shibai not only denied what I had seen and heard, but also insisted that my body had already developed a condition and that I must not go out again.

I repeatedly looked at the map provided to me by Meng Shibai and tried to use a pencil to depict the location of Qingyun Town.

The terrible thing is that the site is in the middle of the mountain, only rocky and dense vegetation, and there is not even a house.

In order to corroborate her words, Meng Shibai also showed me the drone videos taken by some adventure enthusiasts.

There are no villages within a radius of 40 kilometers except for the town of Muang Huo.

"Ye Tian, this is science, don't believe your fantasies, there is no Qingyun Town there at all...... Everything you see inside, including the person standing up in the coffin, doesn't exist, it's because you're under the influence of the poisonous gas in the mountains and have a deadly hallucination. ”

If it was an ordinary person, they would agree with her, after all, there are too many similar examples in local legends in Lingnan.

Some people were affected by the poisoning gases of the mountain and lived in a coma for several years until they died of terror.

The hallucinations produced by this poisonous gas are not mirages, but they are more terrifying than mirages, making a person constantly hallucinate, as if living in another world.

I gradually believed in Meng Eighteen's judgment, but the plan to rescue Milan had to be carried out, otherwise, I would not be able to explain to the Eight Sages King.

I repeatedly told Meng Shibai to pay a very high price and asked her to find fifteen mercenaries for me.

I just hope to find Milan and take her out of Lingnan, and this matter will turn the page.

Those mercenaries stay here all year round and have heard all the strange things in the mountains, and a small part of them have seen them with their own eyes, so they are only interested in my money, and it doesn't matter what I say or what I see.

One of them pointed out sharply: "Find your partner, we will evacuate immediately, no matter how many people still need to be rescued, it is another business, if it goes well, we can enter the cave in forty-eight hours and come out." ”
