I will definitely not take action tonight. It would be better to let Ruan Qingzhu be nervous for a while before dying.
Besides, Cheng Yu doesn't have Barrett at his disposal now. But this is not a difficult task. A space folding technique can allow him to cross to Mong Cai. Li Peter is now the mayor of Mong Cai. I don't know if there is someone to take over.
He held the position of police chief. If not, the Barrett at the police station was something Cheng Yu could get at any time. Even if someone took over the police station, with Peter Li's current control over Mong Street, he wanted to take out the Barrett.
Barrett, I think you can borrow it from Cheng Yu.
There won't be any problems.
Regarding Cheng Yu's words, Li Peter would definitely obey him more unconditionally than his immediate superior. Of course, this is not just a matter of weapons. Cheng Yu has not been able to rescue more than 20 irrelevant people, and now he rashly takes action
, who knows whether there will be accidental injuries? Just looking at whether there is a weapon in his hand is not enough for Cheng Yu to distinguish who is a militant and who is an unrelated person. Most of the twenty-two poppy-growing farmers have neither.
There will be weapons. Although after killing Ruan Qingzhu and his militants, Cheng Yu can be arrogant
After entering the village, he could distinguish the irrelevant people through simple questioning, but if he really wanted Cheng Yu to kill the poppy-growing farmers face to face at close range, Cheng Yu would still be a little unable to do it.
This is not to be pretentious, but there is a huge difference between shooting at close range and sniping here, both in terms of perception and inner experience.
Cheng Yu didn't want to become a butcher who had no respect for human life. Of course, the most important point was that the discovery of this secret path made Cheng Yu feel that he was really close to the batch left by the Ji Yao people.
There are treasures. With those treasures, after gradually taking action, it may be possible for Cheng Yu to
The points are so rich that Cheng Yu doesn't want to miss those things.
He was also curious about what Zhu Youtang had given as a reward to his biological mother's tribe, and the discovery of those treasures might also be able to fill some gaps in our country's collections. No matter what the considerations were, tonight was destined to be a success.
It can only be a quiet and peaceful night, even though Ruan Qingzhu may be feeling scared at the moment, always worrying that someone will come out from some corner and stab his heart with a knife.
dirty.
After resting for a while, Cheng Yu continued to walk forward. The terrain gradually became gentler, and it seemed that he had really reached the highest point of the nearby mountains. At least, from Cheng Yu's perspective looking down, he concluded that
This place is at least a hundred meters higher than the open space of Ji's ancestral hall.
The rice is more than enough.
Although the moon was already close to the sky, and the bright moonlight was pouring indiscriminately on the entire mountain peak and the earth, it was only the last quarter moon and its brightness was limited. Cheng Yu still couldn't see clearly what was going on in front of him.
After continuing to walk for more than half an hour, the bluestone slabs under my feet were continuous and the steps no longer existed, except for a slight slope upward.
Cheng Yu could already use the moonlight to see that a pavilion appeared in front of him. It may not be called a pavilion now, because the pavilion no longer exists, and all that is left is the ground paved with bluestone slabs and the broken columns around it.
, there are a lot of broken tiles scattered everywhere, but it is a pavilion
But the top of the pavilion cannot be seen. But it is normal to think about it. After so many years, even the thick wooden pillars supporting the pavilion have almost disappeared, leaving only the stone piers where the pillars were placed, and some extremely small pieces of rotten wood.
Residues. Ancient pavilion
The top of the pavilion is presumably a wooden structure, held together by tenons and tenons, and then covered with tiles, just like an ancient roof. Except for the thick beams in the middle, the top of the pavilion is nothing more than a wooden structure.
It is made of wood as thick as an arm. After at least a hundred years of wind and rain erosion, as well as the bites of insects and ants in the mountains, it is good to have some wood residue left in those wood.
, naturally the outline of the roof cannot be seen. But this at least means that this place was once built by the Ji Yao people. Although I don’t know the purpose of this pavilion, from its dilapidated scene, I can be sure that it will not be Ji’s.
After the Yao people moved away, latercomers built
of pavilion.
The ruins of the pavilion may represent the final mystery of the treasure.
Cheng Yu stepped into the former pavilion. The moon was high and the moonlight was shining all over the top of the mountain. Looking around, there was no higher place than here in the surrounding area. He didn't know how much Ji Qushan had been ruined.
It takes a lot of effort to build such a pavilion here. But no matter what, this pavilion must have significance
Extraordinary, otherwise, why would Ji Qishan go to such great lengths? In fact, Ji Qishan could not complete this pavilion and the bluestone steps below in his lifetime. They may have been built continuously by several generations.
As a result, after all, they were in such a valley, and it was even more important
What is important is to cultivate fields, plant crops, and raise cattle, sheep, pigs, and horses in order to extend the clan, instead of going to the highest point of the mountain to build such an inexplicable pavilion for no reason.
The night was sinking like water, and Cheng Yu could only simply look at it.
In fact, the village can no longer be seen from here, but relying on his own sense of direction, Cheng Yu feels that he should be able to see the open-air Ji Clan Ancestral Hall that he had visited during the heavy rain two days ago.
Although the entire pavilion is located at the highest point of the nearby mountains, the scenery around it is different.
The village should be to the west, or the village is at the foot, and to the west is a relatively open mountain pass. And in the three directions of southeast, north and south, there are still rolling green mountains. Cheng Yu thought for a while, maybe this is how the Ji clan looks at their hometown.
It’s a place to pay homage to our ancestors, because this is the only place where our eyes can reach the farthest point when looking to the west. And the hometown of the Ji Yao people - Hezhou, Guangxi,
Isn't it just to the west of Nensi Township?
Time was so far apart that Cheng Yu had no intention of continuing to speculate on the thoughts of those Ji clan members at the time. He found a stone pier that should have been used to place pavilion pillars, dusted off the dust that had accumulated for hundreds of years, and sat down.
Looking around, Cheng Yu wanted to know what the relationship between this pavilion and the treasure place was. Although it was dark at night, Cheng Yu still looked at it carefully bit by bit.
After looking at it for a long time, he couldn't see any clues. Cheng Yu couldn't help but feel a little anxious. Could it be that he had reached the last step and still couldn't find the door to enter?
With a little irritation, Cheng Yu stood up and began to walk around on the flat land on the top of the mountain, which was not that big, to see if there was any entrance to a cave.
After stepping on almost every bluestone slab, Cheng Yu could not find any one that was even slightly loose. He turned his attention to the four stone piers that were originally used to place the pavilion pillars. Although he thought it was unlikely, after all, it was
If the stone piers used to support the entire pavilion could be moved, wouldn't the pavilion collapse first? But Cheng Yu still
I looked at them one by one.
Looking at it, Cheng Yu discovered that these stone piers had another mystery. Of course, the stone piers could not be moved. These stone piers were about half a meter in diameter, more than half a meter in height, and weighed at least four to five hundred kilograms.
, let alone moving, even if you want to shake it, it is difficult. If you are using
With martial arts, Cheng Yu might be able to shake these stone pillars, but now, Cheng Yu can only touch them.
But just by touching it, Cheng Yu discovered that these stone piers seemed to have patterns carved on them. This made him lower his head and look closer, and then he realized that the patterns were actually words.
Turning on the flashlight, in a place like this, Cheng Yu didn't worry that someone at the bottom of the mountain could see the light from the flashlight. He could study the writings on the stone piers carefully.
Unfortunately, due to hundreds of years of wind and rain erosion, most of those writings were blurred, but after looking at the entire stone pier, Cheng Yu also saw a few key words.
There are Yao, there is Ji family, there is Ming Dynasty, and there are some other Chinese characters. Although I can't connect them into sentences and I don't understand their meaning, I can at least feel that the writings on these stone pillars are those of the Ji family of the Yao people.
It was carved by the tribesmen. But probably due to limited tools, the level of carving was also extremely high.
Due to the limited space, the writings on the stone piers were not deep to begin with, and after years of wind and rain erosion, most of them were no longer distinguishable.
Cheng Yu was not discouraged and switched to the second stone pier.
On this stone pier, Cheng Yu saw the words emperor, court, etc., which were still useless, but it also confirmed the connection between the Ji Yao clan and the Ming royal family.
On the third stone pier, Cheng Yu saw the writings such as Soul of the Dead, Hometown, Wind, Go to the West, etc. Although he still couldn't form a sentence, Cheng Yu seemed to feel something.
The fourth stone pier was surprisingly clean. There was not even a word on it, just smooth stone piers. It seems that these writings may not have been carved when they were placed here, but after a long period of time.
Over the years, little by little carvings have been made, which increasingly explains why those handwritings are all very shallow, unlike
It was the reason why the person who built the pavilion did it intentionally. After thinking for a long time, Cheng Yu couldn't combine the scattered handwriting to form a complete meaning, but he had a vague feeling that perhaps the reason why Ji Qishan made it on the hilltop below was
An open-air ancestral hall, and apparently not
It is not a burial ground, perhaps because they did not leave any corpses at all. From the few words seen here, it can be inferred that these Ji clan members all want to return to their hometown in China, so they mentioned their origins.
, will also mention the Ming Dynasty, and even the royal family. And on the third stone pier,
They are souls of the dead and from their hometown. Could it be that at that time, the Ji Yao people performed cremation and then scattered the ashes here, using the wind to help them return to their hometown one day? Of course, all of this was just Cheng Yu's.
Groundless imagination, although it could explain why he could not see any tombs of the Ji Yao people near the entire village, it could not really be treated as fact, and in the end it was nothing more than a mere fact.
Just let your thoughts wander for a while.
Cheng Yu stood for a long time in front of the fourth stone pier, which was facing the northwest. In this direction, the village should be located at his feet.
He stuck his head out and could even see some light penetrating through the gaps between the trees. Such bright light could only be found in the village.
Looking at the time, Cheng Yu found that four hours had passed since he had been going up the mountain. It was now close to four in the morning, and it was already past three midnight local time.
The light in the village below was still going on. It seemed that Ruan Qingzhu really didn't intend to let his men sleep tonight. After searching in vain, Cheng Yu wanted to just go down the mountain several times, but he thought
, it’s meaningless if you can’t go down the mountain by yourself. If you really can’t find any clues about the treasure, there won’t be any new ones in the village tonight.
If there is any progress, it is better to just use the teleportation technique to go back to Wudong from here. Suddenly, Cheng Yu thought, since it is almost four o'clock local time, and it is summer, the sun should rise after five o'clock, close to five o'clock.
The sky will start to light up around midnight, and you may see different things during the day.
