An hour later, the crowd gathered at the foot of the mountain on the left.

Everyone was tired, sweating profusely and panting.

Li Wuchang looked at the guards who were in charge of searching the middle cultivated land and the forest, and said in amazement: "What's wrong with you, you're covered in mud?"

These people seem to have rolled in the muddy field, and the rest of the place is black and yellow mud, and it also emits a rancid smell, and it looks even more embarrassed when it is exposed to the sun.

A guard smiled bitterly: "The cultivated land below looks dry, who knows that it is almost the same as a swamp, I almost can't get out when I step into it, I just accidentally stepped into it, they helped me make it like this." ”

Jiang Minglun was surprised: "It's really a swamp?"

The guard nodded, "It's not as outrageous as the swamp, but it's not much better, those few cultivated fields are like this, the small forests in the middle of the cultivated land don't see anything special for the time being, the ground is very hard, but there are a lot of gravel in it, and there are some bamboos, some durable miscellaneous trees, and all kinds of thatch, this kind of place is very common in the north of Fangling." ”

Li Wuchang sighed: "No wonder there are so many pieces of cultivated land but no one cultivates them, dare to be like this!"

Speculations such as the deliberate demons of those who have intentions, the ancestral property of large families, and the plague seem to be a bit unreliable.

It is already remote, even the land is swampland, and there are many gravel lands in the mountains, and it is difficult to even grow sweet potatoes and other things, but there are some fruit trees and medicinal herbs in the mountains, but it is a pity to pick them up and sell them to?

If you want to survive here, it's not easy.

Jiang Minglun asked, "Have you ever explored those small ponds......?"

The guard nodded, then shook his head again, "I've explored, but there are lessons from the past of cultivated land, so we made the long pole to explore the way, which is softer and muddy, I'm afraid it's really dangerous, and I can't get out if I fall into it." There are no inlets or outlets in several small ponds, but the water in them is not stagnant, and the water flowing down from the waterfall on the opposite side goes into the river, but the river is only at the foot of the mountain, and there is no small hole leaking. ”

Li Wuchang will understand.

It should be the groundwater that is bubbling up.

"Mo Tong, what about the mountain you are searching for?" Li Wuchang looked at Mo Tong.

"It's very ordinary, similar to many mountains and forests in the southwest of Feng Yi, gravel ground, some fruit trees, others are pine trees and miscellaneous trees, and there are some thatched houses in the forest, it should have been a long time, and it will fall down after touching it with a little strength. The only thing that feels strange is that there is a place where there are groups of graves, at least hundreds, which look like small dirt bags because they are in disrepair......" Mo Tong recounted.

"Oh?"

Jiang Minglun's face was solemn, "There are also patches of graves?"

Motong exclaimed, "Is there the same mountain you are searching?"

Jiang Minglun nodded, roughly talked about the situation on the mountain on the left, and then sighed twice: "Muddy ground...... How can there be so many people? There are more than 200 graves on the two mountains alone, strange!"

Li Wuchang looked at the other guards and asked, "What's the situation with the waterfall?"

The guard replied: "The waterfall is very high, there are twelve or thirteen zhang, there is a big pool below, about two zhang deep, very clear, behind the waterfall is a stone wall, there is a gap in the middle, because the water flow is very wide, it is also very urgent, and I did not go in to explore it for the time being." Above is the convergence of two small rivers, and the river is formed by the convergence of streams from all over the place, and then the specific situation in the past is not known, only know that it is a dense forest, very deep kind, and there are several zhang high trees inside, covering the sky, and the situation on the periphery of Nanshan is somewhat similar. ”

"That's it!"

Li Wuchang nodded, and summed up with his fingers: "That's the graveyard, the swamp, the waterfall, and the dense forest above...... There are more suspicious places around, and the workload is not small, especially the dense forest behind the waterfall, let's talk about it, how to start?"

Mo Tong spoke: "If you want me to say, dig up the graves on the two mountains first, and then talk about the others, maybe you can find some clues." ”

This idea is consistent with Jiang Minglun.

It's also the easiest to get started.

Everything else is easy to do.

Li Wuchang smiled and said: "Okay, you Motong, looking at your eyes shining, I thought you were a thief who specializes in tomb robbing!"

Mo Tong's face was ashamed: "This is a tomb robbery, if we want to rob the tomb, we have to rob the emperor's tomb, what good cemetery can there be in this mountain wilderness? If it weren't for the fact that this place might have been left by King Fangling, I wouldn't have paid attention to it." ”

Jiang Minglun said disdainfully: "When I returned the emperor's tomb, I was stunned because I had something to do with the ancestral tomb of the Zhang family, and I still can't figure it out...... I don't know which bastard did the good thing?"

Mo Daodao: "Who else can there be?" It should be Lu Xuandong's kid!"

A guard said: "Why is my heart a little hairy...... In this wilderness, there are graves, swamps, and a very beautiful waterfall, and there is always a smell of strange things, so there won't be a monster or any ghost or god suddenly appearing later. ”

Everyone laughed and cursed.

Li Wuchang said happily: "Unusual is more indicative of a problem." ”

The guard said, "I think it's better to go to the swamp first, I always feel uncomfortable digging graves, the dead are the greatest!

Mo Tong cut a snort and said, "I don't see that you kid is still a kind person? I always like to cut off other people's heads when I fight, and when I go down with a knife, it seems that you are the one who gets excited when I see the blood soaring several feet high, right?

The guard raised his hand in surrender: "Okay, okay, I'm not kind, I admit I'm a little scared." ”

Li Wuchang got up and said, "It has nothing to do with kindness, but if you can not disturb the deceased, try not to disturb it...... Let's go to other places first, there is more than one suspicious cemetery, go to the swamp to see. ”

Everyone followed a path to a small forest in the middle.

This kind of small forest is in the center of the main cultivated land, there are five in total, each of which is about twenty or thirty zhang square, if the whole cultivated land is compared to a lake, then these small forests are like small islands in the lake.

Kobayashi really doesn't seem strange on the surface.

Jiang Minglun used a knife to chop off a bamboo, cut off the branches and leaves, and took it and began to explore the swamp on the side.

Point to the east, pick to the west.

The rancid smell soon dissipated.

The aquatic plants and mud have been mixed together for a long time, and it is the same taste.

After a while, Jiang Minglun shook his head, "Damn, this is really a piece of muddy land, worse than the muddy land in the north of our Erzizhuang, I estimate that even if a large number of people come to dig it, it will take a lot of effort, and it will definitely be larger and more dangerous than the original artificial lake project." ”

Mo Tong also held a bamboo, knocking east and west.

"I don't think there's anything mysterious in the swamp, this little island...... This little forest should have a mechanism!" Mo Tong said in a low voice.

When everyone heard this, they were all in good spirits.

Mo Tong continued: "I have studied a little underground passage, and there is a passage under Feng Yicheng, and I have also participated in the construction. When Feng Yicheng was attacked by the Hanshui Gang, Minister Wang was knocked out and taken away by me. ”

At the beginning, Wang Wanhong had the intention of martyrdom, but in the end, he was indeed knocked unconscious by Mo Tong, and then ran away from the underground passage.
