Due to this accident, the three of them had to change their itinerary. Although Qin Ge was strange, he was also a reasonable person. He was the one who caused the trouble this time, so he had no complaints.

Xizi Village is about two days away from Yuanba Town by mountain road, but if you go directly over the mountain, it will be much closer. You only have to climb two mountains to get there, but there is no road at all in the deep mountains. The further you go, the more difficult it will be to travel.

After walking all morning, even Old Liu Tou began to breathe heavily.

"Headmaster Zhang, are you...really planning to go find that lunatic?" Qin Ge was very puzzled by Zhang Guozhong's decision.

"Yes, I promised Village Chief Li."

"Then where are you going to look for it?" Qin Ge looked behind him and saw the endless mountains. The few shabby houses in Xizi Village were only as big as a fingernail.

"Climb to the top of the mountain and see where the dirt may be hiding in the mountain!" Zhang Guozhong gasped as he climbed up, "Mr. Qin... If you feel tired, you can wait for me here with my senior brother, and I will go and see clearly.

Come down." Although Zhang Guozhong only "understands" the Feng Shui theories of Sutu Sect and Zhongge Sect, it is not difficult to find a "Juyin Pond" or "Death Place".

Old Liu Tou was not polite. When he heard Zhang Guozhong's words, he immediately found a stone and sat down, wiping his sweat and complaining, "You are a brat, how can you tell the village chief how to deal with bumping in?"

It's going to kill my old bones..."

Zhang Guozhong climbed to the top of the mountain and looked around. To be honest, this was the first time that Zhang Guozhong looked down from such a high place.

Emotional people would like to recite a few poems to express their feelings at this moment.

Just as I was feeling a little emotional, the spot facing the mountain immediately caught Zhang Guozhong's attention.

Originally, Zhang Guozhong thought that even if he had the ancient map, he would not be able to find the location of Jiutai, because these mountains all looked the same in his eyes. But at this moment, Zhang Guozhong took out a pair of mountain maps that Lao Liu had copied based on the ancient map.

That mountain nook is the "Xingshu Terrace" among the nine terraces.

"Are you sure you read it correctly?" Qin Ge expressed doubts about Zhang Guozhong's ability to read pictures.

"Look, there is a gap in the middle of the two mountains here. This is called Luosu Cliff in the Sutu Sect. The Sutu Sect believes that this kind of landform was formed by the collision of falling stars in the sky. And in the formation of the Zhongge Sect,

In Fa Zhong, this Luosu Cliff is the channel for the flow of yin and yang between mountains. It is also marked in the map. Look..." Zhang Guozhong pointed to the mountain gap on the map, and both Qin Ge and Lao Liutou came up."

Here... even if it is not Xingshu Terrace, it should be the place where Li Erzhuang set his path. The yin energy of several mountains is silent in this mountain gap. From the top of the mountain, this is the only place where something may be buried!"

In fact, Qin Ge has never been here, he just heard his father describe it. He believed it when Zhang Guozhong said it. The three of them climbed towards the top of the mountain together. At this time, Zhang Guozhong suddenly realized it and began to curse in his heart, these two people.

Lazy donkey, you came up with me a long time ago and now you are here, you made me climb up twice, damn...

"That's right, it seems we don't have to go to Yuanba..." On the top of the mountain, Qin Ge looked at the mountain with a telescope, then took out a small notebook from his arms and looked at it to confirm that this was the place marked on the map.

It looked close, but it wasn't close when I climbed up. When I got to the bottom of the mountain, it was already dark.

"Guozhong, the yin energy is too strong at night. Let's sleep here overnight and start again tomorrow morning!" Old Liu Tou was already panting at this moment.

Zhang Guozhong took out the dry food and Qin Ge took out his sleeping bag and set up camp outside Shanhuozi.

The three of them agreed to take turns on duty at night to guard against wild beasts and other things.

"You two...turn on the safety like this and aim at the target...understand?" Qin Ge held a pistol and showed Zhang Guozhong how to use the pistol. Old Liu Tou was so disdainful that he pulled out the dragon scale from Zhang Guozhong's waist.

He threw it with all his strength, and with a bang, the dragon scale was inserted into a tree trunk, and more than half of the blade was deeply inserted into the tree trunk.

"Mr. Qin, I know that guns are powerful, but against certain things, guns... are not easy to use...!" Old Man Liu said as he walked to the tree pole, struggled with one hand, and pulled out the dragon scales again with a crack.

Even Qin Ge secretly admired the explosive power of pulling out the dagger in these two actions, weighing several hundred kilograms at least.

The three of them discussed that Qin Ge would be on duty in the first half of the night, and Zhang Guozhong and Lao Liu would be on duty in the second half of the night. When Qin Ge was on duty, the sleeping bag would be given to Lao Liu.

Just when Zhang Guozhong was sleeping soundly, he was suddenly awakened by a crisp gunshot, "What's wrong!?" Zhang Guozhong's first reaction was to pull out the dragon scale dagger from his waist, turn over and stand up.

"Shh..." The gun in Qin Ge's hand was still smoking, and he turned on the flashlight and motioned furtively to Zhang Guozhong not to speak.

"What's wrong?" Old Liu also woke up and struggled for a long time to get out of his sleeping bag.

"I saw him..." Qin Ge whispered.

"Who did you see?" Zhang Guozhong asked quietly.

"That madman..." Qin Ge shined his flashlight, and suddenly the trees shook.

"Don't shoot!" Zhang Guozhong held the gun in Qin Ge's hand, "I'll go take a look."

Zhang Guozhong took out another flashlight from his bag, held the dragon scale tightly in one hand, and walked slowly towards the bushes.

"Guozhong! Wait for me!" Old Liu Tou took out the compass and shined it with a flashlight, but the compass needle didn't respond at all. (The compass is actually a special magnetic needle, similar to a compass, but much more sensitive than an ordinary compass.

It responds to both biological magnetic fields and electrostatic electromagnetic fields, but the amplitude is very subtle.)

"No response..." Old Liu Tou lowered his head and looked at the compass, "Did you see it wrong?" Old Liu Tou turned around and asked Qin Ge.

When he turned around, Old Liu Tou almost threw the disk in his hand. A figure stood behind Qin Ge. It could be seen from his body shape that it was Li Erzhuang!

"Master Qin is behind you!" Old Liu Tou shouted. Qin Ge was shocked and without even looking, he rolled forward and immediately turned back, only to see Li Erzhuang rushing toward him with a roar.

Qin Ge was not as kind as Zhang Guozhong. He fired several shots at Li Erzhuang, but the shot hit Li Erzhuang's chest as if it hit a cotton jacket. It had no effect at all. Qin Ge's hands also shook. This was the first time in his life that Qin Ge had shot Li Erzhuang.

I was really scared for the first time because the thing in front of me was so evil.

Just when Li Erzhuang was at most 1 meter away from Qin Ge, a cold light went straight to Li Erzhuang's chest. Li Erzhuang's reaction speed was countless times faster than that of ordinary people. He slipped away and the flying knife grazed him.

The knife passed through his ribs, but the knife seemed to have hurt him. Li Erzhuang screamed again, quickly ran towards Shanhuozi, and disappeared into the darkness.

Zhang Guozhong ran over quickly. At this time, Qin Ge still maintained the posture of shooting just now, and the hand holding the gun was trembling slightly.

"I shot him at least 4 times..." Qin Ge's tone has completely changed. At this moment, Qin Ge's suspicion of supernatural things has completely collapsed like Zhang Guozhong did back then.

"What should we do now?" Old Liu Tou also ran over with a compass, "We can't sleep anymore, this madman is very dangerous to us." Qin Ge wiped his sweat.

At this moment, Zhang Guozhong was also in a dilemma. Now it seemed that the possibility of capturing Li Erzhuang alive was extremely slim.

The three of them just kept their eyes open until dawn. Although it was summer, the night in the mountains was still very cold, and they didn't sleep. In the early morning, the three of them decided to let Zhang Guozhong be on duty. The two old people took a nap first and prepared to wait until the sun rose at noon.

Go into the mountains when you are most energetic.

Although it was noon, it was still very dark in the mountain cave. The three of them were like special forces. Zhang Guozhong was in front with the dragon scale, Lao Liutou was in the middle with the compass, and Qin Ge was behind with his gun in hand, marching slowly in the mountain cave.

"Stop!" When the mountain gap was getting narrower and narrower, and when they were almost at the end, Old Liu Tou shouted, and the three of them stopped. The compass pointer in Old Liu Tou's hand was trembling slightly.

Old Liu Tou slowly walked towards the cliff on the left side of Shanhuozi. The closer he got, the harder the pointer trembled. At the foot of the cliff on the walkway, Old Liu Tou raised his head and looked up. There was a crack on the cliff about ten meters above the ground.

, probably less than a meter wide.

"This is it!" After saying this, Old Liu Tou put the compass into the bag behind him and was the first to climb up the cliff.

It is said to be a cliff, that is to say, from an angle, the cliff is overgrown with weeds, and there are many places to grab hands and step on. With the skills of the three people, they quickly climbed to the crack. Qin Ge took out his flashlight and looked inside. The crack

It was not deep, so the three people climbed into the crack. Sure enough, there was a one-meter-square hollow with stairs.

The three of them turned on their flashlights and held all the guys tightly. It was no better than in the wild at this moment. If Li Erzhuang jumped out from here, there would be nowhere to run.

The stone steps went down for more than ten meters and led into a natural cave. The front was pitch black. When I shined a flashlight, the light beam disappeared into the endless darkness, and water drops kept dripping from the top of my head.

"Don't come in!" Old Liu Tou waved his hand, and the three of them stopped at the door of the steps. Old Liu Tou took out a small yellow flag from his bag and planted it on the ground. Then he took out seven copper coins from his arms and used a

The needle pricked his finger, the copper coins were stained with blood, and a strange pattern was placed around the yellow flag.

As soon as Old Liu Tou's seven copper coins hit the ground, the pole of the yellow flag snapped in two, and Zhang Guozhong and Old Liu Tou's beads of sweat fell off at the same time.

"What's wrong?" Qin Ge didn't pay attention to the cold sweat on Zhang Guozhong's forehead, but concentrated on the broken yellow flag pole. Instead, he found it very interesting. This was the first time he saw Zhang Guozhong and Zhang Guozhong since he began to believe in supernatural phenomena.

Old Liu Tou artificially created supernatural phenomena, thinking that breaking the flagpole destroyed something.

"Qin...Master Qin...this cave...can't be entered..." Old Liu was stumbling, barely able to speak a complete sentence.

"Why?" Qin Ge thought Old Liu Tou was joking.

"We'll explain it to you later, now let's go!" Zhang Guozhong said as he helped Old Liu Tou put away half of the yellow flag and the copper coins on the ground. His movements were as embarrassing as the Kuomintang's escape back then, turning around to get out of the cave.

"Headmaster Zhang, are you kidding me too much?" Qin Ge realized that Zhang Guozhong and Old Liu Tou didn't seem to be joking.

At this moment, Zhang Guozhong and Lao Liutou had already put their things in their bags and turned to walk up the steps.

With the efforts of three generations, I have finally stepped into the legendary treasure of the Later Jin Dynasty. I am only one step away from the He family's imperial seal in my dream. The answer to China's greatest eternal mystery is right in front of me. How can I

Can you just retreat?

Thinking of this, although the terrifying scene last night was still in his mind, Qin Ge still gritted his teeth, pulled out his pistol, and stepped into the cave.

Zhang Guozhong and Lao Liu were halfway up the steps and felt something was wrong. When they looked back, Qin Ge was gone.

"Alas! This man!" Zhang Guozhong turned around helplessly.

Old Liu Tou knew Zhang Guozhong's temper, and now he had the courage to follow him.

"Mr. Qin!!" Zhang Guozhong shouted loudly at the entrance of the cave with all his strength. The cave was dark and there was no reply.

"Master Qin! Master Qin! Oh my dear grandfather...!" Old Liu Tou stomped his feet anxiously, neither retreating nor advancing. Logically speaking, Qin Ge should be wearing a flashlight, and based on time, at most

After walking for more than ten meters, the cave was completely dark with no light at all.

Zhang Guozhong pulled out the dragon scale with a searching sound, "Senior brother, wait for me when you come out of the cave, I will go in to find him!"

"Guozhong! You... ugh!" Old Liu slapped his thigh, reluctantly picked up the folding shovel, turned on the flashlight, and walked into the darkness with Zhang Guozhong.
Chapter completed!
