Xue Panzhi's gossip red mansion

At night, everything is silent.Three furtive figures walked forward among the weeds. Except for the stars in the sky, it was so dark that there was no other light.The three of them walked slowly in the dark, the ground was full of bumps, and they were afraid that they would fall carelessly.

A gust of cold wind blew, Wei Ruolan trembled a bit, he lowered his voice and asked the two people around him, "Why do we stay up in the middle of the night and come to this crazy mountain? Don't we all check during the day? Have you been there once?"

"Because some things can only be seen at night, let me ask you, did the things that fell into the cave mentioned by Daoling all happen at night." Xue Pan looked around, his eyesight in the night. Yes, I came here to find a place different from the daytime.

Wei Ruolan thought for a while, the many incidents of falling into the cave happened at night, it is possible that when the night fell, something shocking happened in this barren mountain.Thinking of this, his back shivered as if someone was drifting behind him, and he turned his head abruptly, startling himself.He was so busy that he tugged on one of Xie Shi's sleeves, and couldn't even speak fluently, "You, you, you said that there is no ghost here, are you here specifically to find this thing?"

Xie pulled out his sleeves angrily, "It's not that I want you to stay in the small building, if you don't have the guts to follow me for something."

"Let me stay in that place alone, wouldn't it be more scary. Today is the busiest day of the exchange meeting. Except for the old people, everyone has gone, and I'm in a panic." Wei Ruolan was talking , suddenly a group of faintly bright things came out of the corner of his eyes, his heart trembled, and he blinked his eyes. There was indeed a faint green light in it, but it was so small that it would not be noticeable without looking carefully.

Wei Ruolan stretched out her hand and rubbed her eyes vigorously, and found that the light was still there, like a wandering spirit in the night, and now he directly grabbed Xue Pan on the other side, and told him to look to the right without saying anything, There was a sound of forehead in his mouth, I don't know if it was panic or accident.

"Fifth brother, that's right there!" Xue Pan looked around and saw the target they were looking for, "Let's go quietly, if someone comes out, we will be knocked unconscious."

Wei Ruolan didn't realize it for a while, what the hell is going on, who can explain it to him.Xue Pan and Xie didn't have that kind of spare time at this time, when Wei Ruolan took back the ingot of silver, they realized that the crux of the matter must be in Madman's Ridge, there must be a strange place for people to enter and exit.

Most people would not find this secret passageway, because according to the local rumors, this place is a terrible place, and no one would come here to play.Except for the annual exchange meeting, people have to take a shortcut to pass here.But people usually come during the day, and there are almost no people at night.Then the other party should take advantage of the night to do something. If someone accidentally discovers it, then take advantage of the situation and act as if the person who discovered the secret fell into the hole.

"Brother Wei, you don't need to panic like this. Except for real ghosts, most of the places with a bad name are there to hide an ulterior secret. This is exactly the case with Madman Ridge."

While talking, Xue Pan found the place where the light was shining. It was on the outer wall of a stone cave. There was a small light there. It should be painted with some kind of fluorescent paint. There were no special lines, as if it was to tell people There is a cave here, "Let's leave a mark first, it's too inconvenient to explore at night, come back tomorrow morning."

Back in the small building, Wei Ruolan couldn't wait to ask her own doubts, regardless of the weeds and mud on her coat, "Can you two tell me what happened tonight? Why did I Picked up a piece of silver in Madman Ridge, are you going to investigate at night?"

Xie picked up the teacup, this Wei Ruolan looked smart, why couldn't he turn around, "What are you doing here, the Chinese New Year is coming soon, why don't you go back to Wei's house."

Wei Ruolan didn't wait for the answer, but instead attracted disgust, and couldn't help feeling angry, "Brother Wu, can you stop stabbing people like this! I don't know what you are going to do, but I also helped, right? This clue is I found it, so don’t keep me in the dark.”

"I didn't intend to hide it from you. You didn't guess it yourself." Xue Pan said nonchalantly. It started with the disputes between the Gu family and the Bai family, Zangliu village and other Miao villages. They all want to grow in Qianzhou, so they can control the money and power here. At present, the chieftain here is facing the other two Miao villages, the Gu family. It also overwhelmed the Bai family, but Dao Ling raised a question, how did they make a fortune, you must know that this is not a coastal area, and there is not so much business."

Wei Ruolan is not really stupid, he took out the piece of silver he picked up in his arms, to gain a firm foothold in one place, the right time, place and people are all indispensable, and he has also heard about the weakness of the Bai family.But this alone is not enough for the Gu family, a foreign family, to develop to this point in the past few years, unless they have a strong backing. "Can you tell me who is behind the Gu family?"

"Are you sure you want to know?" Xie put down the teacup lightly, and asked Wei Ruolan without waiting for a trace of ups and downs, "The more you know, the deeper you get in, do you have the courage?"

Wei Ruolan heard that if he really didn't have anything else, he still had courage.Even if not, their Wei family and Xue family have obviously reached a cooperation agreement, and this Wu Xun who doesn't know his real name in front of him, who has no right to make decisions in his family, who has the right to refute, a grasshopper on a rope, Sooner or later you will know. "I'm a little worse than you, but I'm still good compared to others. I even dared to go to the wasteland just now. Am I still afraid of this?"

Xue Pan didn't seem to see that Xun was an undercurrent to Wei Ruolan, but he said frankly, "Historians, Jinling historians, you should know."

"Ahem——" Wei Ruolan almost didn't choke, saying that it was the Xue family, he believed it, but the Shi family, although they had two marquises, that family was really not very rich. "You mean that the historian supported the Gu family. This is a little ridiculous. When the third son of the historian was not dead, he did do business, but they didn't win much. His two older brothers were from martial arts. Thanks to ancestor Yu Ze."

"Drink your tea slowly, you can choke on this matter, do you want to listen to the rest." Xue Pan was not surprised by Wei Ruolan's reaction, because this is the world's view of historians, but Daoling and the others found out This is not the case. Historians not only helped the Gu family gain a foothold in the southwest, but they also probably had an intersection. "When the remnants of the previous dynasty were in trouble, the Shijia brothers came here to fight. It is not surprising that they have people here. What you should be surprised about is that if the Shijia really wades into this muddy water, what about the money? It was hidden by the Shijia Is it there, or has it been embezzled elsewhere?"

Yes, what about the money?Could the silver ingot they were looking for outside the cave be left behind by them? With this question in mind, Xue Pan went to Madman Ridge again in the morning. It was because of his good sense of direction that he was able to find the silver ingot he found last night in a piece of barren grass. cave.Sure enough, during the day, the pigment on Shiyan is very inconspicuous, almost the same as Shiyan's true color.

This trip he brought back two pieces of news, one good and one bad.

"The good news is that I tapped the cave carefully and found a location similar to a mechanism passage."

"What about the bad news? You won't be discovered, right?" Wei Ruolan was afraid that Xue Pan would be exposed by accident. It can be said that they went deep into the lonely mountain without any support.

Xie gave him a sideways look, "It's not you, how could you make such a mistake, is there only going out but not going in?"

Xue Pan nodded, because Xie knew him well, they knew what the other was thinking with almost a glance, "That mechanism can only be opened from the inside, I guess the other end should be in several other Miao villages."

This result made Xue Pan a little disappointed. They had already guessed who the other party was, but they couldn't grasp the substantive evidence.

Wei Ruolan lowered his head in disappointment, so their clues were still broken, he inadvertently complained, "Why are there so many tunnels in this place? We entered here from the stone road, and there are still tunnels in Madman Ridge." Secret way, I don’t know who made it.”

Xun tapped his fingers on the table. The names 'Zangliu Village and Guidaoling' are not like the names of Miao Village at all. In Miao Village, some of them call it Xiong Xiong, some call it Debang, none of them have a deep sense of Taoism."

There is something wrong with what Xie said. Apart from Cangliu Village, they have inquired about the names of the other two villages, namely Pengju Village and Nanming Village. This is even more related to Zhuangzi.There is no Sinology in the Miaodi, so how could such a name be used?

Xue Pan secretly speculated that the establishment of the Miao Village might have something to do with the cultivators.There are no practitioners in this world.He never forgot that The Book of Stones was originally a book with a touch of fantasy, and the psychic treasure jade really appeared in Jia's house.These have little to do with them, but in this way, so many tunnels can be traced. Those caves have been built for a long time, just like the tunnels in the mountains they passed through when they entered this place, not a 200 The way it was built over the years.

"Fifth Brother, do you think these old atlases about authenticity are in the Miao Village's own classics, but they don't know? Most people regard such stories as legends, and no one believes its authenticity. However, Pengju Village and Nanming Village may have found the entrance and exit by mistake, so they can transport some things secretly."

Xie thought about it, this kind of thing happened often, the legends in the past may not be true, but people today have never encountered them again, so he took it as a joke, "If it is true, we will be able to find the secret path On the other side, let Daoling sneak in and have a look."
