On a night with a bright moon and few stars, everyone entered the mountainous area around Tongtian Lake.Because there are no artificially excavated roads and landmarks, this road is not easy to walk.

"Be careful, there are steep slopes, gravel roads, and hidden pits all the way up." Sister Hong walked in the front knowingly, and Qu Wu walked in the second place with her neck hunched.He touched the back of his head and neck from time to time, and turned his head to look back.Under the cover of the moonlight, he glanced at Qin Yue and Wei Zhixiang curiously and in awe.

Qin Yue skipped him and silently looked at the black shadow stretching in front of him.There are many mountains in Qianzhou, and there has been a saying of "eight mountains, one river and one mu of land" since ancient times.Most mountains, like the one they're climbing now, are karst.The few trees that were left were cut to pieces, and the roads were rough and rough.

The wind carried the shouts of people in the distance. It should be the villagers and the search and rescue team who came out at night to look for Fang Luyao and others.But it was clear that they were looking in the wrong direction.It's hard to say that there is no deliberate misleading element in it.

Qin Yue slowed down and said to Sister Hong: "From your accent and the degree of acquaintance with the villagers, what you said about migrating from your grandparents should be true. Can you tell me what happened to all this ?"

He asked very politely, but the expression on his face was clearly not discussing.For a veteran like Sister Hong, this is not just a hint, but a naked/naked/naked threat.

She subconsciously stroked the black marks on her neck, shivered, and replied cautiously: "Actually, our family is the real native of Tongtian Lake."

"Really? You mean, your family is from Qianzhou?"

"Yes. According to legend, my ancestor was the great witch Zhu of the city at the bottom of Tongtian Lake. Later, the city was submerged by floods, so he fled to Yongliang, married a wife and had children, and settled there."

"Since you have settled down, why do you have to come back?" After Qin Yue asked the question, she raised her arms and said, "Wait, don't rush to answer, let me guess. Because you don't have any skills, your ancestors started robbery Something to do with treasure hunting?"

"Yes. The place in Yongliang is dry, and it is difficult to support the family by farming. So..."

Qin Yue pondered: "So it's a handicraft handed down from our ancestors. Let me guess again... You don't find out that the real treasure is actually in Qianzhou from the few words left by your ancestors, so you don't hesitate to let go of everything in Yongliang. Moved back."

He frowned and asked, "Since you have returned to Tongtian Lake since your grandparents, you should have almost discovered the treasure. Could it be that there is really a cornucopia in Tongtian Lake?"

Sister Hong didn't answer right away, but seemed to have been stabbed.She couldn't stop licking her lips, trying to hide her uneasiness, "When my grandpa was born, I didn't have such good equipment as now, so no one knew what was going on at the bottom of the lake. Most of the time later, my parents just guarded Tongtian Lake , making a living by cultivating farms and cultivating fruit trees. Believe it or not, in fact, for a long time, we seem to have gradually forgotten the real purpose of returning.”

"Then why later..." Wei Zhixiang questioned, like an ordinary young man listening to a story full of curiosity.But Sister Hong and Qu Wu looked at him full of awe and fear, more straightforward than their emotions towards Qin Yue.

Sister Hong was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Who would have thought of that? If it wasn't for my mother's strange illness, and the fact that my two elder brothers who were working outside died in car accidents and accidents, my father wouldn't have thought of going back to his old job." , I will not know the secret of Tongtian Lake."

Her face was half hidden in the darkness and half exposed in the light of the flashlight, muttering to herself, "In the end, it's fate. My mother grew up in the neighboring village here, and they have never been to the provincial capital of Qianzhou in their life." The only concern is the harvest of the crops, and whether the children have enough food and clothing. Suddenly one day, she came back from the mountains and went crazy. My father almost turned gray overnight to treat her illness. "

"So he started thinking about Tongtian Lake?"

Sister Hong shook her head, "Not at all. He dug up several nearby ancient tombs and sold them to antique dealers at a low price. Later, the rumors became more and more serious, and our family was not the only one who robbed the tombs to hunt for treasure, and we were always struggling. "

Her eyes were bright, like some kind of nocturnal beast in the mountains, "That's why he remembered the blueprint left by grandpa."

"drawing?"

"Actually, it should be a page torn from a certain book, which records the location of the treasure in Tongtian City. It was written down from memory when the great-grandfathers were alive, and printed by friends in Linhai City. Later, because of the war, the book's The main body is missing, and there are only a few pages left of what my grandpa thought was the most important." She took a small folded piece from her breast pocket.

Qin Yue took it over and saw that it was a few sheets of paper wrapped and protected by oiled paper and plastic film.When it was opened, a description in traditional characters and a simple map were printed on it, unlike the products of recent decades.

He stroked the torn side of the page, raised his head abruptly, and called Guan Yunheng's name overjoyed, "Seeing this, did you think of anything?"

"Nothing." Guan Yunheng stared intently at the things in his hand for a while, then repeated, "It's true that there is nothing."

Qin Yue was like a balloon that had been punctured by someone, deflated in an instant.Lowering his shoulders, he said sadly: "That's right, you don't even remember."

Not only about the book found in Liu Lan's room, but also many... Guan Yunheng no longer remembers.Although Qin Yue reminds herself of this from time to time, she still forgets occasionally.

He thought that he was subconsciously rejecting this matter.

He rubbed the rough surface of the paper with his fingers, trying to calm down, "We have seen the rest of this book."

The previous prophetic dream was not in vain.From the Guan family's old house, although the road is dangerous, all things are connected at an incredible speed, just like a wonderful coincidence arranged by man.

For a moment, he thought of Xiao Qi's prophecy, and Ye Ming's pitiful expression.

If things were going as expected, did that mean he was, after all, doomed?

"Brother Yue? Brother Yue? What's wrong with you?" Qin Yue heard Wei Zhixiang ask.

"No. I just feel that the whole thing is too interesting." Qin Yue turned to sister Hong, "Since you already have the blueprint, why didn't your grandfather find the treasure?"

Sister Hong recalled: "My father said that he put together the wrong way, so he looked in the wrong direction. The brothers who went with him all fell into the abyss and all died. He was also seriously injured because of this. He became disabled, had problems, and was not good at walking. Not long after, my grandma also drowned in the lake. He suddenly lost his temper and never mentioned treasure hunting again."

"I see." If it wasn't for this accident, many things in the future would not have happened.Time is luck and fate.

Sister Hong led the crowd to a huge wind-eroded rock on the hillside and stopped, "It's inside."

She ran her hands along the base of the stone until she found a raised groove.There is an entrance directly in front of the wind-eroded stone, which is a descending step.

The steps are covered with thick dust and the original color cannot be seen clearly.A string of messy footprints trampled on, winding straight down towards the bottom.

Qin Yue asked her: "how many people are there in total?"

"About 20 people."

"Including the four people from the program group?"

"I'm really not sure about this. Because I only caught two women. As for the men, I don't know if they are inside or not."

Qin Yue saw that her expression didn't seem to be fake, so she didn't continue to ask, "Aside from you, who else is the leader?"

Sister Hong hesitated for a moment, and replied hesitantly, "It's my cousins."

"It's a good family business." Wei Zhixiang sighed, and Sister Hong's expression suddenly became quite awkward.

She obediently guided them to continue down.

At the bottom of the steps, there is a dark corridor, and both sides of the corridor are relatively primitive rocks.The rocks are very wet and covered with a layer of moss.

Going forward, they can see large and small stalactite pillars hanging upside down from the top of their heads.When the light of the flashlight shines on these stone pillars, it refracts the reflections of the stars.

obviously.This channel is dug along the underground river and caves in combination with the local landforms.According to its scale, it cannot be completed overnight.

This place is very "clean", without any traces of ghosts, spirits, or monsters, which is abnormal in any place.And there are often traces of a few flying birds and bats in such caves, but at least there are no corresponding discoveries so far.

While looking at the surrounding environment, Qin Yue said: "It seems that this is the ruins left by the ancient Tongtian City. It shouldn't be the first time you came here.

Is it because there were not enough people before or did not find a way to get in? "

"All of them. I only reconnected with my cousins ​​in the last few years. They have been hunting for treasures at home and abroad. They have their own team and have a lot more people than us. Otherwise, even if the objects are dug up, they won't be able to deal with them. "Ms. Hong replied in a low voice, and then pointed to the gradually thinning stalactite pillars in front of her, "Here we are, right in front."

In addition to the bright and cheerful scene, the end of the road suddenly became very noisy.They saw a group of heavily armed people, each carrying a military backpack and wearing high-top leather boots, gathering in twos and threes around the fire, drinking water and eating dry food.

As soon as they saw Sister Hong, the three leading men immediately stood up, followed by an honest-looking man, "Why are you here? How are those people? Are you still looking around? These people what's going on?"

Receiving Qin Yue's warning eyes, Sister Hong restrained her nervousness and pushed Qin Yue and the others forward, "Don't mention it! I could have gotten through it smoothly, but I met Qu Wu who came out of the water! If it wasn't for me The reaction is fast, the truth has been revealed!!"

She spoke half-truths and half-false words, and she became more confident as she went to the back, and finally kicked Qu Wu, "If you don't believe me, ask him!"

Qu Wu staggered a few steps, barely stood still and said with a smile, "Who knows. I just got up, and I was not used to it, so I was beaten up by these boys."

He flipped up the sleeves of his diving suit and showed the bruises on his body to the three men, "Look. I told Sister Hong that I have to pay more this time!"

The oldest man snorted coldly and said, "Stop talking nonsense, what do we want?"

Qu Wu threw the bag of things from the lake under their noses, "Here, it's all here. Anyway, this time we have to increase the price!"

The men ignored him, and only said to Sister Hong: "Since they want to come and die, they should be tied together with the first few people. Just right, who knows what's inside?"

Qin Yue thought to himself, it really is the same as what he guessed before.These people didn't deal with Fang Luyao and the others immediately because they were prepared to let them in from the very beginning!
