Liu Qingyuan led us straight into the mountain, and soon we arrived at the entrance of Chaotiangou. The opening was very large, like a fan, and became narrower as we went inward.
After arriving at the entrance, I curiously asked Wang Xiaoran: "Didn't you say that there are many legends in Chaotiangou? Where there are legends, there should be people living there, right? There were no roads on the way we just came, let alone living."
There are probably no people who come here usually. How can there be legends in such a place?"
Wang Xiaoran said: "Who says no one has been here? This is a place where many mountaineers often come. The legend about this place has been passed down for hundreds of years. It is the older generations who come here to collect medicine in Chaogangou.
When I was there, I encountered some strange and weird things, and then it became a legend."
"It is said that hundreds of years ago, there were many precious medicinal materials in Chaotiangou. Later, as more and more people came here to collect medicines, the medicinal materials in this valley gradually disappeared. In recent years,
No one comes here to collect medicine anymore.”
As soon as Wang Xiaoran finished speaking, Liu Qingyuan, who was particularly annoying along the way, also said slowly: "Because this valley is rich in medicinal resources, many of the people who come here to collect medicine are ascetics, so when ordinary people meet here
When practicing Taoism, they would mistakenly think that they are gods, so many legends about gods are spread here, and it is even said that this is the Nantian Gate of Heaven."
As he spoke, Liu Qingyuan raised his head and looked at the sky.
I also looked along his line of sight and found that there was a big cloud in the sky. The cloud was now black and covered the entire Chaogai ditch. From a distance, it looked like a dome.
It seems to be built on the ravine, which is very spectacular.
Judging from the scenery here, it looks like a place where gods live.
Liu Qingyuan continued: "As early as decades ago, our Liu Group was preparing to develop this place into a tourist area. However, we encountered great resistance during the development process. The surveyors sent here disappeared one after another. In the early stage,
Work simply couldn't be carried out, so our development plans were put on hold until my people discovered the fox grave here!"
His people?
In this way, the two tomb robbers were actually Liu Qingyuan's men.
With that said, Liu Qingyuan took out the sapphire fox from his arms and held it tightly in his hands, as if praying or thinking about something.
I looked at Wang Xiaoran, and he smiled and said, "That sapphire fox originally belonged to him, and now it's normal for him to be here."
I asked Liu Qingyuan what the secret of immortality is in the Jade Fox.
Liu Qingyuan smiled and said: "I can't tell you this for the time being. You will naturally know it when I get the method of immortality."
I didn't say anything, and Nangong Fanzong walked directly towards the "gate" of Chaogangou.
I followed closely behind. Wang Xiaoran hesitated and followed.
Just as Liu Qingyuan was about to stop us, Zhang Yifan next to him stopped him and said: "Let them explore the road first. There may be some dangers here. As for the way to immortality, it is in the fox tomb. When we get to the fox tomb, we will let them
Our own people go first."
Liu Qingyuan nodded, and then said to the four bodyguards behind him: "Follow them closely and don't fall behind. Ah Qiu, come here and I have something to tell you!"
That Ah Qiu is the shortest of Liu Qingyuan's four bodyguards, but he has the strongest aura. Although there is a seal, I can't tell his true strength, but he must be the strongest one.
After Liu Qingyuan called Aqiu to his side, he whispered: "I have a gun here. Take it. If they dare to snatch my treasure in the tomb later, you will kill them!"
When I heard this, I was stunned and stopped walking.
Before we even entered the chaotian ditch, our "teammates" started playing dirty tricks on our backs!
Liu Qingyuan thought that we couldn't hear him if he spoke softly, but he didn't know that we were all monks. With such a distance, we could still hear him clearly no matter how quiet he spoke.
Nangong Fancong also stopped like me.
Just when we were about to question Liu Qingyuan, Wang Xiaoran pulled us and continued inside and said: "Ignore them, Aqiu is a sensible person, he is from the Qiu family, he knows a little bit about my identity, and he will definitely not dare to
Those who attack us under the tomb, let’s hurry up and don’t waste time here!”
I didn't say anything, and Nangong Fanzong murmured in a very small voice: "If Liu Qingyuan is under the fox's tomb for a while, and Liu Qingyuan wants to use any means, I don't care what the power behind him is, I will kill him without mercy.
Kill him!"
Wang Xiaoran smiled and said: "If you want to take action against him, then you and Chen Yu will definitely lose points in this case!"
Nangong Fancong let out a "hum" and said, "If you lose your points, you can earn them back, but if you lose your lives, you can't get them back. Besides, I can't swallow this breath!"
The thoughts in my heart are the same as those of Nangong Fan.
But as a last resort, I still don’t want Nangong Fan to be impulsive, because it’s not easy to score, and I don’t want to fail in the 100-star list again.
As we continued walking forward, I looked back at Ah Qiu. He quickly put away the gun. The expression on his face was very calm. I couldn't tell what he was thinking, and I didn't know.
Will he follow Liu Qingyuan's instructions soon?
After walking for a while, I asked out of curiosity: "Are all the people from the Liu family who joined the Shizong family protected by the Qiu family?"
Wang Xiaoran shook his head and said: "Of course not, only a few important people will have people from the Qiu family with them. This Liu Qingyuan is one of the future successor candidates of the Liu Group. In recent years, he has developed many projects, providing
The Liu Group has made a lot of money. By the way, is there a computer genius named Zhao Xiaoyu in your village?"
I curiously asked Wang Xiaoran: "Do you know him?"
Wang Xiaoran shook his head and said: "It's just a casual relationship. An information company invested by Liu Qingyuan asked Zhao Xiaoyu to join it as a technical investor. That guy is very powerful. He might be able to design powerful things to counter my machine skills.
Woolen cloth."
So, Wang Xiaoran and Zhao Xiaoyu have already been in contact.
Next, Wang Xiaoran did not continue to talk about Zhao Xiaoyu, but brought the topic to the gutter: "As we walked, we explored the surrounding situation to see if the spiritual energy around us was sufficient, and whether there were any Taoists from hundreds of years ago.
What relics are left behind?”
At this time, I couldn't help but guess: "Didn't Liu Qingyuan talk about immortality? The most common thing here was medicinal materials. The monks who came here basically came here for the convenience of collecting medicines and refining elixirs. Then Liu Qingyuan obtained the method to produce elixirs.
Could it be related to the elixir?"
When I made such a guess, Wang Xiaoran nodded and said: "It is very possible, but based on what Liu Qingyuan just said, the clues are in the fox tomb. Our top priority is to find the fox tomb first."
The further we walked into the ditch, the thicker the thick black clouds above our heads became, and the darker the light in the ditch became. Fortunately, the ground was covered with thick snow, and the color of the snow made us
The ravine became less dark than expected.
It is said that this is a ravine, but Chaotiangou is larger than some valleys. Although we did not find any rare medicinal materials along the way, we can still feel that the spiritual energy here is much more abundant than the surroundings. This is also a good place for spiritual practice.
It’s such a beautiful place, why aren’t there any ascetics practicing here?
Thinking of this, I asked Wang Xiaoran.
He said: "The spiritual energy here does not seem weak, but it contains mottled miscellaneous air, or even turbid air. To use an analogy, the spiritual energy here is like inferior and poisonous spiritual energy. Although the amount is large, it can
But it is not suitable for practice. If you practice here for a long time, your practice may be eroded by the turbid air here and ruined. If you are unlucky, you may go crazy and lose your life."
Originally, I was planning to use the spiritual energy here to absorb and exhale, but now that Wang Xiaoran said this, I immediately stopped all actions at hand.
After walking in this ravine for about half an hour, we couldn't see the entrance anymore when we turned back.
Likewise, we can't see the end of the ditch, and we can't tell how deep it is.
At this time, I couldn't help but turn around and ask Liu Qingyuan how far away he was from his destination.
While sniffing with his nose, he said: "In ten minutes at most, we will see a huge earth bag, and that earth bag is our destination."
Sure enough, as Liu Qingyuan said, within ten minutes, we really stood in front of a huge earth bag. The earth bag was nearly fifty or sixty meters in diameter and about the same height. It was covered with a thick layer of snow.
From a distance, it looks like a huge lump growing in the ravine.
After arriving here, Liu Qingyuan was very excited. He threw himself directly on the dirt bag, hugged him affectionately, and said slowly: "I'm finally home!"
Back home?
What's the meaning?
When Liu Qingyuan said this, a strange look flashed in his eyes. I also subconsciously checked Liu Qingyuan's situation. Except that his body was covered with fox fur, there was no dirty thing on his body. How could he say that he was home?
Is this fox grave his home?
At this time, Zhang Yifan walked up to Liu Qingyuan, helped him up and said, "Boss, let's get ready to enter the tomb. It's getting late!"
Liu Qingyuan then stood up and said: "This is our destination this time, the fox tomb. The sapphire fox in my hand was dug out of this tomb. There is a robbery hole in the southwest corner, and we will go in from there."
!”
When he said this, Liu Qingyuan was obviously impatient.
I tentatively checked the situation of the fox tomb, and then asked Wang Xiaoran if any of the travel friends who came here to play were missing?
Wang Xiaoran said: "Anyone who comes here for fun is generally not in any danger, but those who come here with a purpose will be in danger."
"We are the ones who come here with a purpose, so we are in danger now!" (To be continued)
