"The tire seems to have burst." Yue Qing swallowed his saliva and said, "I'll go down and take a look."
Yue Qing got out of the car and saw the flat tire on the left. It turned out to be pierced by a wooden thorn. Yue Qing sighed. After arriving here, the road became narrower and the thorns on both sides became thicker and denser. Looking at the road ahead,
Looking at the road conditions, I knew it was unrealistic to drive all the way to the end. It was just that the tire blew out a little too early. The Yulinchi that seemed so close was actually still far away!
He patted the car window, and Subai lowered the car window: "Are you getting off?"
Yue Qing smiled bitterly: "Put your bag on and go."
Subai smacked his lips, looked at the road ahead, and sighed: "We are racing against time. It's really annoying to lose track at this time."
"Stop complaining. You need to use your legs to walk, not your mouth." Cui Ying urged: "Hurry up."
The five people packed their luggage and replenished their water and dry food. With the help of flashlights, they walked forward step by step. The ground was full of potholes. Because of the previous rain, there was a lot of water. The five people
They always accidentally stepped on water, and when the water splashed away, the muddy water also covered their trouser legs. After a while, the five of them were in a state of embarrassment.
Finally, we arrived at Yulin Pond, but it was completely different from what we imagined. Because of the rain, there was another depression, which was full of mud and dirt. How could it be as beautiful as Gong Yang described?
"Is this what jade looks like when it rains down?" Cui Ying took a breath: "It's really special."
Gong Yang scratched his head in embarrassment: "It's not bright yet, and there's water accumulation due to rain, so it's like this. And it's only the best at dawn."
"Fortunately, we are not here to see the scenery." Su Bai said, "Quickly go down and find your tribe."
Gong Yang immediately led everyone down to the pool. In the center of the pool, there was a huge rock leaning there. Su Bai originally thought this was the sign, but Gong Yang led them over the rock. After thinking about it carefully, it was like this
The obvious signs are too ostentatious. It turns out that the real passage is at the far right end of the pool, Gong Yang.
Squatting there, he took out a whistle and blew it. The sound was long and sharp, which was completely different from the usual whistle. About three minutes later, he heard a "swish" sound, and a hole in the ground opened. Gong Yang looked inside.
He glanced at the man holding the torch, and his voice trembled slightly: "Uncle Six, I'm back."
Gong Yang was young, so he was always worried when he thought about Gong Yan. When he saw the elders in the clan, he couldn't help but feel a little like a child. He felt a little aggrieved inexplicably, and his eyes were red. Fortunately, Uncle Six did not notice this.
Uncle Six was not very old, only fifty. When he saw Gong Yang and the people behind him: "Are they the saviors?"
Su Bai felt embarrassed to be called a savior. Just as he was about to be polite, Uncle Six greeted him: "Come down quickly."
The five of them went down, and Uncle Liu looked at these young people: "We have met before. When the old patriarch was still alive, I served him specially, but I was masked at the time, so you must not recognize him. Only this girl
look unfamiliar."
Yingning was dealing with Gong for the first time. She just smiled sweetly and Uncle Six said, "The girl is very kind-hearted."
Gong Yang was anxious to find Gong Yan, but he urged him regardless: "Uncle Six, take us in quickly."
"Okay, okay, I'll take you in now." Uncle Six complained: "You kid, you are such a hot-tempered kid. You are modeled after your brother Gong Yan."
Everyone followed Uncle Six and walked towards the passage, talking as they walked. Uncle Six asked with concern: "How is Gong Ming?"
"Thanks to Brother Yue Qing and the others, they are now safe and sound and are staying in the imperial capital to recuperate." Gong Yang said: "Brother Gong Ming was very anxious and wanted to come back with me, but he just had an operation and could not work too hard. Uncle Liu, the clan leader
Where?"
"He left after sending us here and has not come back until now." Uncle Liu was not aware of Gong Yan's distress at all.
Gong Yang was about to speak when he was pinched by Yue Qing. He shook his head gently. Gong Yan is the clan leader and the core of the Gong clan. If something happens to him, it will definitely make everyone lose their minds and make people's hearts turbulent. This is still the case at this time.
Hiding it well, Gong Yang swallowed back the words he was about to say and asked instead: "Uncle Six, where did the clan leader go?"
"Went to Beishan." Uncle Liu said: "He said that a mechanism there was broken and he wanted to repair it. I asked a few people to follow him there, but he insisted on going alone and didn't know what happened. Go
It’s been a while.”
Gong Yang lowered his head and remained silent. Uncle Six then asked, "Why are you here at this time?"
"We are here to check the source of the disease." Yue Qing said: "Although Gong Ming recovered after the operation, we cannot rule out that there are still people with potential poison. It is better to confirm."
Uncle Liu said happily: "Yes, it's all thanks to you for the hard work."
After passing through the long and narrow passage, the front became more and more open. When she saw those low houses and the old, young, women and children hiding in the houses fearfully, Cui Ying couldn't help feeling sad: "Is everyone here?"
"They were scattered before, but now everyone is gathered together and acting collectively." Uncle Liu said: "The young people are now preparing tools in front. No one knows when we will need to evacuate. Everyone, please sit here for a moment.
Come on, I'll get you some water."
"No need, Uncle Six." Yue Qing said, "We need to go to Gong Yan immediately. How to get to Beishan?"
Uncle Liu glanced at them suspiciously and asked cautiously: "Did something happen?"
"There is something very important. We need to find him immediately to confirm." Yue Qing said seriously: "Maybe he can help us find the person who planted the poison."
"Oh, in that case, don't delay. There is a shorter way."
The closest road Uncle Liu mentioned was the ropeway, but it was an old ropeway. This place was transformed into a scenic spot in the 1990s. Unfortunately, it was abandoned due to factors such as poor management and inconvenient transportation. The ropeway is usually in rugged terrain.
Carrying passengers or cargo up and down the mountainside mainly uses steel cables suspended in mid-air. Now the cable car has been cleared away, leaving only the steel cable. To pass through the steel cable, you need to hold the pulley with both hands and slide down!
Standing on the top of the mountain, you can see this long ropeway, extending from the top of the mountain to the other side of the mountain. You can't see the end at a glance. Su Bai felt the wind blowing under his feet. Looking down,
My heart trembled: "It's so high!"
"Don't look at your feet, just stare at the sky." Uncle Liu said, "This steel cable is very strong, nothing will happen."
Looking at the rusty steel cable, Suber felt very suspicious: "Really?"
"It's true, I'll go down first, you guys follow me." Gong Yang was already used to it. He held the pulley with both hands and flew out lightly. Subei heard a harsh grinding sound, and Gong Yang was in this "squeak" The sound of "squeaking" went away. Both Yingning and Cui Ying were very excited, especially Yingning. She couldn't wait: "It looks like fun, I want to start too!"
Su Bai pulled Ying Ning and said, "Girl, be careful."
"You have to be careful." Yingning blinked: "Have you forgotten who I am?"
Subai's scalp tightened. This was true. As soon as he let go, Yingning and Cui Ying slid down one after another. Now only Subai and Yue Qing were left. Yue Qing said: "You go first, and I come second."
Subo felt a little helpless. It was better to have someone behind him than no one. He wiped his sweat, grabbed both sides of the pulley with both hands, closed his eyes, kicked his feet, and his body flew into the air. It actually felt like flying out. Not bad, Su Bai got brave enough, so he opened his eyes, and it felt like he had an extra pair of wings when traveling through the mountains - it was so beautiful. However, this feeling did not last long, and Su Bai felt that the two arms were no longer his own. , his hands also became numb, and he had to take a deep breath before he could hold on to the pulley tightly and support it to the end!
When Gong Yang saw Sub Bai coming down, he stood there in advance and stretched out his hands to help Sub Bai stabilize his body. Sub Bai's feet touched the ground and his body fell towards Gong Yang: "Oh my god, I've lost half my life!"
With two red marks on his hands, Subai kept blowing on his palms. When Yue Qing came down, Yue Qing didn't even hesitate: "Go find Gong Yan."
"This is Beishan." Gong Yang said: "If the clan leader comes here for the purpose of organizing the organization, I know where it is. Come with me."
Gong Yang led four people towards the "herringbone" shaped mountain. The herringbone mountain is actually formed by two mountains leaning together. The center of the herringbone is a hollow section. After passing through, you can see a Glade: "This is it. Look, the mechanism has been restored."
"Yes, there are still footprints on the ground." Yue Qing said, "Thank God for the rain."
The group of people followed the messy footprints to the north of the herringbone mountain. The footprints disappeared when they got there. Su Bai was stunned for a moment: "Is this here?"
"Is there something wrong?" Cui Ying asked.
"It's in my mind." Everyone understood the meaning of Subai's words - Dragon Vein Map! This is one of the passages to the Dragon Vein!
Subai's expression darkened, and after going around and around, he returned to the original point - the strongest dragon vein!
Yue Qing said: "There are echoes of footsteps and breathing. It can be seen that the space is quite special. It should be a closed and long passage. It may be consistent with this place. Let's go in and take a look first."
Subai frowned and asked Gong Yang: "How to get in?"
Gong Yang moved the rocks protruding from the top, and exchanged the third one from the left and the fourth one from the right. The passage was opened: "Just go in from here. There is nothing in here. I usually pile some tools that are not needed for convenience. Traps have been set up around here. Not many people have come here recently, and the institutions are rarely taken care of. If it hadn't happened before, the clan leader wouldn't have thought of restoring the institutions."
"Let's talk after we get in." Yue Qing had already gotten in.
Su Bai thought of one thing. Gong's own people rarely come to this place. If the chance of outsiders entering here and kidnapping Gong Yan is not high, then the previous judgment can be further verified. Someone has been mixed up long ago.
Come in, most likely follow them here, and then take Gong Yan hostage. Gong Yan rang their phone for help!
