In the camp, Jin Abacus lit up a bonfire and relied on his good ear to hear all the conversations between the two brothers. He shook his head and smiled.

These two brothers are also talented people. It is absolutely rare in this era to think of smuggling bronzes to Hong Kong for auction.

Jin Abacus turned around and said: "By the way, Bai Yi, remember to leave a signal for your third master. This mountain is too big, I'm afraid they will find the wrong way."

"Don't worry, Senior Jin. With the abilities of Third Master and Hei Master, they can find me even if I don't leave a signal."

Even so, Bai Yi still took Bai Er and the others out for a trip.

Zhou Laoliu and Zhou Laojiu came back and ate the canned beef given by Jin Abacus by the campfire. It was extremely delicious. Darling, they have never eaten such delicious food.

Sure enough, the world of rich people is different.

When this work is finished, they will be able to eat canned beef every day.

After the meal, Jin Abacus was not idle and asked the two brothers a lot about the situation in the neighborhood.

Although the two brothers were not from Qinling, they had often searched for tombs nearby, so they were familiar with this area, and they immediately started talking to Jin Abacus eloquently.

The people, local customs and the history of Qinling Mountains, just say whatever comes to mind.

Jin Abacus listened happily and did not interrupt.

"But, Boss Jin, let me tell you something mysterious, and it has something to do with this bronze branch."

"Oh? Tell me carefully."

Zhou Laoliu said: "Actually, the village where we found the bronze branches was a bit unusual. My brother once secretly saw it. These people also collected a lot of bronze branches and they buried them underground."

"What do they collect bronze branches for?"

"I don't know. It's not for sale anyway. I think they want to melt the bronze branches."

Jin Abacus's face became more solemn, and he asked: "Besides these, what else is unusual about this village?"

Zhou Laoliu glanced at Zhou Laojiu, then approached Jin Abacus and said, "It really does exist. I wonder if Boss Jin has ever heard of the four major sects of tomb robbers?"

"Of course I've heard of it. Are the people in this village related to the four factions?"

"Hey, of course it does matter. I found that the index and middle fingers of these people are very long. It's not just one or two people, but everyone in the village. I heard that among the four tomb robbing sects, only the Faqiu sect practices Faqiu Finger, and their fingers will be abnormal.

..."

Fingers unusually long?

Zhang family?

This was the first thought that flashed through Jin Abacus' mind, but after thinking about it carefully, he rejected it.

According to Brother Tuesday, although this village rarely communicates with the outside world, everyone speaks a Shaanxi dialect, and the village has a history of at least a hundred years.

If it were the Zhang family, the time would not match.

Moreover, he also learned from Ye Bai that there were many Zhang family members who were hiding incognito, but the total number of these people was probably not enough for a hundred people, far from the number of people in a village.

So who are these people? How come the Zhang family is so famous?

Seeing Jin Abacus frowning and thinking, Zhou Laoliu rubbed his hands and said, "Boss Jin, is my news important to you?"

Jin Abacus' train of thought was interrupted, and he patted his shoulder with a smile and said: "Don't worry, brother Xiaoliu, after the matter is completed, I will double the benefits promised to you, so that you will not make this trip in vain."

Brother Tuesday suddenly beamed and said that Boss Jin was very generous.

After resting all night, everyone continued on their way early the next morning.

In front of you are undulating mountains, ancient trees with roots, a row of eaves emerging from the forest, and the smell of cooking fireworks.

"Boss Jin, this is it."

Jin Abacus asked the White Tiger Team and the Qinglong Team to stay behind and take care of them outside the village. He only brought Qing Yi and Qing Er into the village with the brothers on Tuesday.

Walking at the entrance of the village, Jin Abacus's eyes were fixed. The location of this village was well chosen, with Xuanwu in the back and Suzaku facing, with a blue dragon on the left and a white tiger on the right. It was a rare blessed land with four elephants.

A row of lush green bamboos was planted in front of the village, and a stream ran through the bamboo forest.

"Brother Qi, Village Chief Qi, we are back." Zhou Laoliu shouted.

Not long after, the villagers were alerted, and a dark-faced middle-aged man came out with a group of people.

Zhou Laoliu hurriedly greeted him: "Brother Qi, didn't you say that there was a lack of salt in the village last time? This time I specially brought a lot of refined salt, and it was all foreign goods..."

The dark-skinned young man took the salt from Zhou Laoli and turned his attention to the three Jin Abacus.

Jin Abacus wears a pair of sunglasses and a gold chain around his neck, giving him the aura of a rich man.

Qing and Qing are wearing casual clothes, one on the left and one on the right.

"Who are these people? Why did you bring outsiders in?"

"Brother Qi, let me introduce to you. This is Boss Jin, a big businessman in Hong Kong. Next to him is his bodyguard. Boss Jin is a very famous patriotic businessman and a native of Shaanxi. He fled to Hong Kong during the war. Now he is

After getting rich, I wanted to go back to my ancestral homeland to have a look. We walked the mountain road for two days and planned to have a rest in this village..."

Jin Abacus has also traveled across the country, and has lived on both sides of the Yellow River for many years. He speaks Shaanxi dialect very well: "Brother Qi, when I return to China this time, I just want to see the great rivers and mountains of the motherland..."

After some explanation, the dark-skinned man nodded slightly, seeming to believe the identity of Jin Abacus and others.

"My name is Qilin. There are few outsiders in our Qijia Village, so there is no place for outsiders to live in the village."

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. We brought a camping tent. This bamboo forest is fine. Brother Qi can let us rest." Jin Abacus said hurriedly.

Qilin nodded, took the refined salt, led Brother Zhou into the village, and left the three golden abacuses hanging outside the village.

Qing Er couldn't help but said: "Senior Jin, our excuse is full of flaws, these people probably don't believe it."

Jin Abacus shook his head: "Can you make up a suitable excuse for our dress? Besides, our goal is the big tomb with the bronze branches. As long as this village is not a tomb-guarding village, no matter what secrets it hides, it will be the same."

We don't care."

Qing Er added: "I think Xuan, if Zhou Laoliu is not telling lies and the people in this village are also collecting bronze branches, then they probably know the location of the big tomb. Let's not miss it..."
p>

"What are you saying to be dejected? Let's ask Brother Tuesday to take us to the place where the bronze branches were found in the evening."

Seeing that Qing Yi didn't say anything, Jin Abacus asked: "You have a delicate mind, have you noticed anything?"

"Senior Jin, these people are not weak in skills, and they deliberately hid their hands under their sleeves just now."

Jin Abacus nodded: "I also discovered that Faqiu Finger is a unique skill of the Zhang family. This village probably has something to do with the Zhang family..."

As night fell, Jin Abacus and the three of them set up a tent near the bamboo forest. On Tuesday, the brothers came out of the village after eating and drinking, and brought the three of them some special bacon.

Looking at Zhou Laoliu's drunken appearance, Jin Abacus knew that the two brothers might have revealed the true intention of their trip.

Now let’s see how the people in Qijia Village react.

......

In Qijia Village, everyone gathered in a room.

"These people are here for the Bronze Tree. Should we use some means to drive them out?"

"I think it's better to leave this matter alone. These people don't know how to live or die. Let them go."

"No, Boss Jin has a prominent status in Hong Kong. If he disappears in the Qinling Mountains, he will probably cause even greater trouble, and the village will not be able to live in peace."

Everyone was talking a lot.

Qi Wangchuan, the head of Qijia Village, coughed and suppressed everyone's voices: "Be quiet for a while. I will handle this matter. You can go back and rest first."

"Village Chief..."

"Okay, it's too late, let's all go back."

Everyone left sparsely.

After a while, someone came to report: "Village chief, Zhou Laojiu took the three people out to find the bronze branches, and Brother Qilin has already followed."

......

The moonlight seems to be covered with a layer of fog, and the light is unclear.

Jin Abacus and others walked in the sparse forest, lighting up with flashlights.

There are gradually more and more rocks nearby, and there are potholes everywhere.

At this time, Zhou Laojiu tripped over something and almost fell down, but Qingyi stepped forward and helped him.

"Brother Lao Jiu, how far is it?"

"Boss Jin, we're almost there. I tripped over this thing last time." Zhou Laojiu also looked drunk, but he was still conscious.

Jin Abacus used his flashlight to shine a light on the stumbling block, which turned out to be a thick root of a banyan tree.

But there seems to be something wrapped inside, which is a little higher than the ground.

Jin Abacus signaled, Qing Er stepped forward and dug out a small stone man covered with moss from under the root of the banyan tree.

The workmanship of the stone man is rough, the facial features are blurred, and the clothing has never appeared in the Central Plains culture. The age is extremely remote. Preliminary estimates suggest that this thing seems to be from the same era as the bronze branches.

Jin Abacus threw the little stone man into the ring space and urged Zhou Laojiu to continue leading the way.

After walking through the forest for about half an hour, everyone came to a gap between two mountains.
To be continued...
