"There are bloodstains here. There should have been a fight, but we can't tell what the specific situation was through the scene. But if the two died together and there was no third party involved, the bodies of the two should still be here, but
There are no bodies of the two people here now."
The thin man continued.
"That makes sense."
The short-haired man nodded in agreement, and then asked, "Brother, what should we do next?"
"Reptilian spirits are too hard to find, and we don't have the Golden Insect God Card or the Talisman in our hands. Only by finding Qin Guoqiang can we unlock the secrets of Huangshan."
The thin man said.
Hearing the words of the thin man, Zhang Fan couldn't help but frown. He didn't expect that he also knew that Qin Guoqiang had the talisman in his hand?
Where did he know this?
Could it be that Lao Xie also told him?
"Brother, do you think you would scare Qin Guoqiang if you suddenly appeared in front of him?"
The short-haired man said half-jokingly.
The thin man glanced at the short-haired man, snorted coldly and said: "At first, this guy and I came here together with the black gold key to unlock the secrets of Huangshan. After failure, we went to the Yunnan-Guizhou area together and met the Miao people.
Ku Rong, after Ku Rong told us how to unlock the secret of Huangshan, he gave me the golden insect tablet and the talisman, but not him.
A few days after that, he killed me, but I was lucky enough to survive. Obviously, he wanted to monopolize the treasure here, no way!
He asked Lao Xie to come with him this time, just because he liked Lao Xie's honesty. If something happened, he would ask Lao Xie to take the blame for him. If he got the treasure, he would not give it to Lao Xie, and Lao Xie would not say anything.
I still don’t know what this old boy is thinking, but after I catch him, I will definitely eat his skin and his flesh!”
When he said the last two sentences, a cold murderous intent flashed in the eyes of the thin man.
After hearing these words, Zhang Fan completely understood the situation. He didn't expect that there were so many things going on between these people.
"Brother, as the saying goes, there is no smoke without fire. The news that the black gold key can unlock the secrets of Huangshan Mountain has been spread. I feel that using the black gold key should be able to unlock the secrets of Huangshan Mountain."
The short-haired man said.
"I don't deny your statement, but the two of us have been searching here for so long and still haven't found a way to use the black gold key to unlock the secrets of Huangshan, so we can only find another way out.
When I came here last time, before I left here, I placed the Black Heart Key in a pit to the north of Shanxia Village. I went there to look for it two days ago, but couldn't find it.
There are rumors from the outside world that the black gold key is in the hands of the twins, and now that the twins are in the hands of the leader of the Jinfeng Sect, the black gold key may have fallen into the hands of the leader of the Jinfeng Sect.
However, even if he gets the black gold key, I feel like he won't be able to unlock the secrets of Huangshan for a while. After all, we have been looking for so long before and still haven't found a way to unlock the secrets of Huangshan."
The thin man said, "What's more, a strong man below the fifth level of the third realm can't enter the mountain gate at all. He just happened to be stuck here."
"Brother, my friend called me this morning. He said he had found out a way to use a black gold key to unlock the secrets of Mount Huang."
The short-haired man said.
"oh?"
The thin man raised his eyebrows and asked, "What can I do?"
"He told me that inserting the black gold key into the hole in the trunk of a pine tree near Jiulong Waterfall can open the first lock that holds the secrets of Huangshan Mountain."
The short-haired man said.
Hearing this, Zhang Fan was slightly shocked. Where did the friend of the short-haired man get this news?
The thin man glanced at the short-haired man. Judging from his expression, it was obvious that he didn't believe it. However, he still asked symbolically, "What next?"
"He said that after you open the first lock, the pine tree will guide you to the location of the second lock."
The short-haired man continued, "He also said that although the secrets of Huangshan Mountain were integrated around the Jiulong Waterfall, the third lock was not arranged around the Jiulong Waterfall, but was placed in a cave filled with corpses behind the Herringbone Waterfall.
Here, after opening the third lock, there is a fourth lock. As long as the fourth lock is opened, the secrets of Huangshan will be completely revealed."
After hearing what many men said, the thin man laughed dumbly and said, "I think what you said is really unreliable. There are so many pine trees around Jiulong Waterfall, and there are so many pine trees with holes in their trunks.
How to determine which one it is?
Also, making a lock on a pine tree sounds a bit weird.
This tree will grow, and as the tree grows, the holes will also become larger. Twenty years have passed since the secrets of Huangshan were integrated. Can the little black gold key from back then still be useful?
I feel like I can't.
Therefore, I think these statements of yours are not credible or credible."
The thin man shook his head one after another.
The short-haired man glanced at the thin man, scratched his head and said, "That's the same thing. If that's the case, just pretend I didn't say anything."
"I know all your friends. They are not as strong as you and they don't have any big backers. How could they know such secret information?
They are just fooling you and cheating you out of some money, so don’t have any contact with them in the future, it’s useless!”
The thin man continued, "For us, the most important thing right now is to find Qin Guoqiang."
"I know, brother."
The short-haired man responded.
"We have been observing carefully along the way, but we haven't found any useful clues, let alone Qin Guoqiang. It seems that we won't find any clues from here today. Let's go back."
The thin man looked around and said.
"Are we not going to go any further?"
The short-haired man asked.
"We're not leaving. I just looked in the distance and there were no signs of fighting. Let's not waste time here."
The thin man replied.
Afterwards, the two of them embarked on their return journey.
After the two of them walked away, Zhang Fan pushed aside the gravel at the entrance of the cave again, and Grandpa Xiao Qian returned to Zhang Fan's side.
"They left?"
"Well..." Zhang Fan nodded, and then continued, "Let's set off to the Herringbone Waterfall."
"Let's go to the Herringbone Falls?
Why?"
Grandpa Xiaoqian asked. The Herringbone Waterfall was considered the place where Grandpa Xiaoqian’s nightmare began.
"Let's talk as we walk."
Zhang Fan said as he emerged from the white tiger spirit's cave.
Then, the two of them walked towards the Herringbone Waterfall together. Zhang Fan and Grandpa Xiao Qian repeated what the friend of the short-haired man said.
