Chapter 36 Fake Death
Qifeng Mountain, that is, the last time Ling Miaoyin found the skeleton, Chen Yutian stood behind a rock on this mountain, carefully looking at a pile of boulders not far in front of him. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Mr. Gongsun, is this really the location of the treasure land?"
Gongsun looked at the map in his hand and nodded slightly: "If the map drawn by Brother Xue is not wrong, this should be the treasure location referred to on the map." ”
"But, no matter how you look at it, it just looks like a pile of rocks, where is the gate of the treasure place?" Huo Yuan was extremely puzzled.
Gongsun shook his head slightly and put away the map, "I don't know about this." But one thing is for sure, this is where the treasure is hidden......"
As he spoke, he looked not far from the pile of rubble, where a group of men and horses were slowly approaching.
Everyone looked over, only to see more than a dozen people rushing towards the pile of rocks, the first one was supported by two entourage, his face was slightly pale, it was Wu Fa who had just met last night!!
"It's them, it looks like they're not mistaken!!"
Xue Tianhan looked at those figures, except for Wu Fa, there was only one familiar face here, that was Zhuo Lin, who escaped from prison last night and attacked Chen Yutian.
However, Wang Tong and the evil shadow of the master of the Gang Qi Separation Realm are not here.
In addition, he also saw Xuan Xi who was captured.
Xuan Xi was not only tied up with five flowers at this moment, but also had people cover his mouth with a white cloth, and was pushed and shoved forward by two characters who looked like they should be in the Wuyi shop.
The group walked up to the pile of rubble and stopped.
Wu Fa looked at the pile of rubble in front of him suspiciously, then at the map in his hand, and then at the pile of rubble, and the doubt in his eyes was even worse.
Obviously, he couldn't believe that the pile of rocks in front of him was the place where the treasure was hidden on the map!
"Helper, what's wrong?" asked Zhuo Lin.
Wu Fa shook his head and threw the map in his hand to Zhuo Lin, "According to the instructions on the map, this is where the treasure is hidden, but I can't find it at all, where is the entrance?"
Zhuo Lin took the map and looked at it carefully, "Maybe there is some mechanism! Look, isn't there a pattern of a mechanism on the back of this map?"
As he spoke, he pointed to the back of the map.
Wu Fa took a closer look, and sure enough, he saw that there was a strange-shaped mechanism pattern on the back of the map.
"Very good...... Wu Fa waved his hand excitedly, "Brothers, the entrance to the Treasure of Protecting the Country is near here, everyone look carefully to see if there are any mechanisms or anything like that around here." ”
As soon as he gave the order, all the gang immediately dispersed, searching for the entrance to the treasure land nearby.
There was one of them, and the direction he was searching for was exactly the direction where Chen Yutian and the others were hiding.
He searched very carefully, refusing to let go of even a single grass or tree on the mountain, and as time passed, he got closer and closer to the grass where Chen Yutian and the others were hiding.
In the same way, as time went on, the man's patience gradually ran out, and he no longer searched carefully inch by inch as before, but took a rough look and left.
Therefore, he did not find Chen Yutian and the others hiding here.
"Sneeze ......"
However, just as he was about to leave, a sneezing sound suddenly came from the grass!
The man suddenly became alert, he drew the knife in his hand, and little by little he approached the place where the sound had come from. Soon, he was there......
But just when he wanted to dig through the grass to find out, Wu Fa's voice suddenly came from the boulder pile: "Come on! I found the mechanism!!"
The man was slightly startled and looked in the direction of the boulder, and at the same time, a hand suddenly stretched out from the grass and struck the man on the neck without warning......
The man fell straight to the ground and rolled into the grass......
A moment later, a man dressed in the same clothes stepped out of the grass and returned to the group as if nothing had happened......
This is just a small episode, especially for Wu Fa.
All his attention at the moment was focused on the mechanism he had discovered, and he wouldn't have noticed the gang that had come back so late.
"Haha...... Finally found it, this treasure of protecting the country will soon belong to our Jianghuai League...... In the near future, even the world will be the ...... of our Jianghuai Alliance Haha......"
He smirked, if it weren't for the map, he would have had a hard time finding this hidden portal.
"Gang Leader Wu, don't get carried away, you need to know, the most relaxed time is often the time when the danger is the easiest to approach......"
A white-bearded old man pushed the reluctant Xuan Xi forward, he looked at Wu Fa and reminded.
Wu Fa glanced at the old man and didn't say anything, this person was a confidant around the alliance leader, and he was not easy to offend.
"What you have taught you a lesson! Then, please ask the special envoy seniors to open the door of this treasure land!"
"What's so hard about that?"
The white-bearded old man sneered, and then came to Xuan Xi, and couldn't help but say, he grabbed Xuan Xi's right wrist with one hand, took out a knife with the other, and waved it lightly at Xuan Xi's jade hand.
A wound suddenly appeared on Xuan Xi's right palm.
Xuan Xi didn't dare to look at his wound in pain, and turned his gaze to look at the face of the white-bearded old man to divert his attention.
However, just as she could see the white-haired old man's face, her pupils suddenly shrank to the size of a pinpoint, and her face showed a ghostly expression.
At the same time, Chen Yutian and the others, who were hiding in the dark and watching here, were also taken aback when they saw the appearance of the white-haired old man!!
Chen Yutian only felt that his brain was roaring, like countless thunderbolts exploding, and his mind was even more blank, as if he had completely stopped thinking.
"How...... How...... Could it be him?"
He looked at the white-bearded old man who was dripping Xuan Xi's blood on the mechanism in disbelief, how could he not believe that he would actually be here, and see ...... again That face!
See you again, that face that is both familiar and unfamiliar!!
In his memory, this face should not have appeared again at all!
Because, its owner, in Chen Yutian's memory, has already become a corpse!
And it should be the first moment when Chen Yutian came into contact with this case!
That's right, the white-bearded old man in front of him, his appearance, is clearly the old housekeeper of the palace who died tragically in the study with the old king when he was celebrating his birthday in the palace!!
He didn't die?
Chen Yutian looked at the white-bearded old man, and the scenes that happened in the Xianwang Mansion that day came to mind.
On that day, after the murder, almost everyone's attention was focused on the tragic death of the old Xianwang, and no one paid close attention to whether the old butler, who died tragically in the study with him, really lost his breath.
If this person was just faking his death, then why did he do that?
Why did he appear next to Wu Fa and others?
"Also, Wu Fa Fangcai, it seems that he is calling him an envoy......" Chen Yutian pondered for a long time, and a trace of disbelief but incomparably bright gleam flashed in his eyes!
The stringing of these clues was enough for him to draw the final answer to this series of questions.
Although, the answer itself is really hard to believe.
But, no matter how unbelievable, the answer that remains after all possibilities have been ruled out......
That's the truth!!
"Hmph...... That's amazing...... From the very beginning, he played everyone in the palm of his hand, what a Jianghuai alliance leader......"
Chen Yutian looked into the distance and slowly muttered to himself.
......
......
A drop of blood quietly dripped from the wound on Xuan Xi's right palm!
Tick...... The blood beads gently dripped down on the mechanism, making a crisp sound like a pearl falling into a jade plate.
The mechanism flickered slightly, and soon, cracks the thickness of fingers began to appear in the boulder pile in front of him, and as the cracks appeared, the ground shook incessantly, as if an earthquake was coming.
The cracks on the boulder pile are getting bigger and bigger, and finally they shatter in a burst of shaking!!
In the place where the boulder pile was broken, a buried stone gate appeared!
Thundered......
The stone door suddenly opened automatically, revealing a dark hole in everyone's surprised gaze.
The shaking of the ground then stopped.
Wu Fa looked at the stone cave and knew that the treasure of protecting the country must be hidden inside, so he waved his arms excitedly and laughed: "Haha...... Brothers, let's go, the treasure of protecting the country is in front of us......
As he spoke, he walked into the cave with a fire fold......
The rest of the gang, along with Xuan Xi, the white-bearded old man, and Zhuo Lin, also walked in.
Of course, Xuan Xi was still pushed in by the white-bearded old man.
After they went in for about a stick of incense, Chen Yutian and the others walked out of the darkness and entered the stone cave......
The place suddenly returned to its former tranquility.
However, it didn't take long for a black shadow that was difficult to see with the naked eye, and it floated into the stone cave......
