"I kind of understand." On the way to the General Ridge, Zhao Yu shared his opinion with Miao Ying. "There should be clues about the Golden Buddha in the Buddhist scriptures! The grave robbers have been searching hard! For example, the exact location where the Golden Buddha was hidden, the correct way to open the door, or how to crack the traps inside! "
"Come on! Have you watched too many movies? National treasure? " Miao Ying retorted. "Other than the possible location, everything else is just nonsense! Look, there isn't even a road in the mountain. The prefect had twelve Golden Buddha statues with him. How could he have the ability to build a treasure house and traps?
"He was just a prefect, not an emperor, general, or minister. He didn't have that ability!" Miao Ying said. "Plus, he was worried that the secret of the Golden Buddha statues would be leaked, so he wouldn't have brought too many people with him! In my opinion, they just found a secluded place to bury the Golden Buddha statues! "
"That makes sense, but nothing is absolute in this world!" Zhao Yu raised a different opinion. "The world was in chaos. The prefect, who had the army and power, might not be weaker than a lord. Or, he might have built a secret room to hide the Golden Buddha statues, then killed them … Kacha kacha, it's all like that in the TV series! "
"I told you, you've watched too many TV series!" Miao Ying said. "The map shows that the General Ridge is eight kilometers long! There are valleys on both the north and south sides. We don't know if the treasure is hidden on the mountain or at the bottom of the valley. The scope is too big! "
"Don't worry, we'll cross the bridge when we get there!" Zhao Yu said optimistically. "After we get there, maybe we can find something new! If we can find a stone tablet or a place, maybe we can narrow down the scope again! "
"Oh …" Miao Ying seemed to have understood something. "The words' General Ridge 'only appeared in one of the scriptures. The grave robbers found so many scriptures, which means that there are new clues in the other scriptures! According to the clues in these scriptures, we can finally find the Golden Buddha statues … But … "
"Yeah!" Zhao Yu said worriedly. "This is exactly what I'm worried about. The grave robbers came at least five days earlier than us, and they have more detailed clues. So, the possibility of the Golden Buddha statues being stolen is very high!"
"Indeed!" Miao Ying agreed, but she did not admit defeat. "But, no matter what the outcome is, we have to find out the truth! Just like what you said, even if we can find traces of the tomb robbers, it's still a gain! "
"Yes!" Zhao Yu patted Miao Ying's shoulder. The two of them strengthened their confidence and continued to walk deeper into the forest.
After a few hours, just as they were about to approach the General Ridge, the rain finally started to pitter patter. Fortunately, the two of them had brought along their raincoats for emergency use, so they did not have to worry about getting wet from the rain. However, the temperature in the forest suddenly dropped to a low point, and they felt a little chilly.
At that moment, Miao Ying's phone suddenly received a text message from Zhang Yaohui. Unexpectedly, this text message was sent more than two hours ago, and she actually only received it now.
Zhang Yaohui's text said that he had tried to call Miao Ying and Zhao Yu, but his calls never went through, so he sent them this text.
Zhang Yaohui told Miao Ying that through their secret investigation, they had found clues about the civil aviation helicopter and got the detailed coordinates.
It turned out that the only helicopter that entered the mountain was indeed rented by Fu Jianxing and the others.
Fu Jianxing and the other four police detectives from Moyang Branch took the helicopter and flew into the mountain. At that moment, the helicopter had already returned, but Fu Jianxing and the others stayed in the mountain.
It was obvious that they stayed in the mountain for the tomb robbers and the Golden Buddha statues.
Miao Ying checked the coordinates that Zhang Yaohui sent over. In the end, the coordinates happened to be in the General Ridge area. However, they entered from the west end of the General Ridge, while Zhao Yu and Miao Ying were in the east of the General Ridge.
What Zhang Yaohui sent over was the coordinates that the helicopter landed on. Fu Jianxing and the others arrived earlier than Zhao Yu and Miao Ying, so they were unable to predict their whereabouts!
Pitter patter patter …
Deep in the mountain, old forest, bad rain … The scene was exactly the same as Zhao Yu and Miao Ying's feelings. They wondered if there would be any discovery in the upcoming trip to the General Ridge.
As the "Qian" hexagram was opened at an untimely time, Zhao Yu was even more worried than Miao Ying. He wondered if the mountain rain would really cause a natural disaster.
Luckily, although it was raining, it wasn't too heavy. It was just that the sky was covered with dark clouds that blocked the light, making it difficult for them to move forward.
The two of them moved forward in the rain. Their feet stepped on the mud, and it was extremely difficult for them to move forward.
Finally, after they crossed the last short hill, they finally arrived at the entrance of the General Ridge.
The General Ridge was about a hundred meters high. In the rain and fog, it was like a sleeping giant dragon, winding and winding.
Zhao Yu and Miao Ying adjusted themselves in a cave that could shelter them from the rain. Then, they walked towards an unknown valley on the south side of the General Ridge.
At the bottom of the valley, there was still the tributary of Qin River. Due to the rain, the murmuring stream water had now become rapid.
Miao Ying confirmed that they had already entered the area where the old experts encountered the flood. As the mountain flood came suddenly, the old experts couldn't remember the exact location, so they could only find a rough area.
What Zhao Yu and Miao Ying needed to do was to search upstream to see if they could find anything. Of course, in order to prevent the flood, the two of them continued to move forward at a place that was further away from the river.
They walked and walked …
They walked until five o 'clock in the afternoon, but they didn't find anything. There were no footprints, no human figure, not even a decent animal. It was as if they had entered the primitive world.
After walking for such a long time, the two of them were extremely tired. So, they found a safe and leeward corner to set up camp. Originally, they could have built a fire at a place that was sheltered by a rock.
But, for safety reasons, they didn't do so.
As it was drizzling outside, after the tent was set up, Miao Ying didn't reject Zhao Yu at the door, but allowed him to share a room with her.
But, what surprised Miao Ying was that Zhao Yu pondered for a long time at the door. He didn't come in, but went to the side of the rock to find a dry place to set up his sleeping bag.
"Captain Miao, I think I should stand guard for you! You sleep first and have a good rest … "
Although Zhao Yu said it sincerely, Miao Ying thought that Zhao Yu was just being angry with her, so she ignored him. But, she didn't expect to find Zhao Yu still outside after she fell into a deep sleep at midnight!
The rain was still pouring down. Zhao Yu wrapped his body in his sleeping bag, but his eyes were fixed on the forest in the rain. He was afraid that there would be an accident.
But, it was dark in the forest, so he couldn't see anything. He could only hear the sound of the rain hitting the leaves.
Tsk tsk …
That doesn't make sense.
Zhao Yu couldn't hold it in anymore. What is the system doing? It was already midnight, and the ending notification hadn't been heard. There was no new adventure. What is going on?
Does the Qian hexagram mean that nothing happened?
Is that possible?
Although he was highly suspicious, Zhao Yu's vigilance was at its highest. Through his various experiences in the past, he understood more and more that fortuitous encounters would occur unintentionally, and they were often very sudden!
Although everything seemed to be calm, Zhao Yu had a bad feeling that a storm was about to come.
"Zhao Yu, are you crazy?" Miao Ying shouted from inside the tent with a flashlight. "It's the middle of the night. Do you want to freeze to death? Come, come in quickly! "
Hearing Miao Ying's shout, Zhao Yu couldn't help but shiver. He suddenly realized that his naked face was almost frozen, and he couldn't even speak.
I can't take it anymore!
Zhao Yu then realized that his body couldn't take it anymore, so he quickly carried his sleeping bag into the tent.
"Ouch …"
Zhao Yu was shivering from the cold. He quickly arranged his sleeping bag next to Miao Ying and got in again.
"Tell me, what should I say about you?" Miao Ying didn't know the inside story and was still complaining about Zhao Yu. "You really want to save face! I didn't let you in, but you came in, and when I let you in, you didn't come in … Hey … "
Zhao Yu didn't wait for Miao Ying to finish and quickly hugged Miao Ying with his sleeping bag. His teeth were still chattering, and he mumbled, "I'm freezing, I'm freezing …"
Although she was hugged by Zhao Yu, he didn't do anything inappropriate, so Miao Ying didn't argue with him. When Zhao Yu had calmed down, he gradually felt sleepy, and in the end, he fell asleep with Miao Ying in his arms.
Just like that, the two of them slept for a long time, but were suddenly woken up by a deafening explosion!
Boom …
The deafening sound was earth-shattering, and even the tent shook.
Ah?!
Zhao Yu was shocked and woke up instantly!
