"Behind the Garanshiya Sutra is the Half Moshana Sutra," Wang Taiming continued. "Most of this sutra has been lost, and the existing materials in the Cultural Relics Bureau have not been sorted out! However, Elder Tian and I knew that under the Ancient Lotus Pond of the Golden Buddha Temple, we could still find the engraved version of this scripture. Hence, we followed them to the Ancient Lotus Pond and extracted a portion of the pond water! "
"Come on, what time is it?" Zhao Yu urged impatiently. "Hurry up and tell me, what clues did you find?"
"Finally, according to the hints on the treasure map," Tian Dongmin quickly answered, "we found the words' Jade Stone Slope '!"
"Jade Stone Slope?" Zhao Yu frowned and asked, "What does that mean?"
"Put together, it should be the General Ridge's Jade Stone Slope," Tian Dongmin said. "There's a valley at the southern and northern foot of the General Ridge respectively. I reckon that this Jade Stone Slope should be a specific place in the General Ridge! However, the ancient book did not mention it. Daoist Zhang and the rest also asked some of the villagers nearby, but they also did not know! "
"But," Wang Taiming added, "we know that the valley at the south of the General Ridge was called Deer Tail Slope in ancient times. So, based on this speculation, this Jade Rock Slope is most probably the north of the General Ridge!"
Zhao Yu's eyes lit up and he quickly asked, "What about the third one? What does the third one say? "
"Thousand Year Pine!" This time, Wang Taiming gave the answer straightforwardly. "I found it on a stone tablet in the museum. It's the incomplete Sutra of Fortune and Longevity."
"Thousand-year pine?" Zhao Yu rolled his eyes, "In that case, as long as we find a thousand-year-old pine tree on the northern slope of the General Ridge, wouldn't that work? But … you … don't look like you've found the Golden Buddha statues? If the Golden Buddha statues were found, how could the two of you still be alive? "
"Yeah! It was this Millennium Pine Tree that saved us! " Tian Dongmin lamented, "They searched the entire north of the General Ridge, but they couldn't find the Millennium Pine. We suspect that this Millennium Pine might have already been cut down by someone, or it might have already died and is nowhere to be found! "
"That's true!" Zhao Yu felt the same way. "It was already a thousand-year-old pine tree during the Ming Dynasty. The possibility of it being alive today is not high!"
"Because of this, the Taoist priest and the rest didn't hesitate to hack into the Forestry Bureau's website and got the plant distribution map of the General Ridge area. He wanted to find out where tall and ancient pine trees could grow. Unfortunately, our Forestry Bureau has not reached such a level of detail, and there are no detailed records! "
"Oh, because we didn't find the pine tree, so we didn't find the treasure!" Zhao Yu asked. "What happened after that? Are there any other clues? "
"There were a total of six clues on the ancient jade. After the General Ridge, the Jade Rock Slope, and the Thousand-year Pine Tree, we didn't find the fourth clue! That scripture has now been completely lost. It's impossible to find it in a short period of time! " Wang Taiming replied, "But we found the last two. The fifth one is the Crescent Moon Pit, and the sixth one is the Raindrop Stone."
"Oh?" Miao Ying could not help but frown. She did not expect that there would be three more clues behind the Millennium Pine! From this, it could be seen that it would be quite difficult to find this treasure.
Zhao Yu felt the same way. He shook his head and said, "That's troublesome! If it's the Crescent Moon Pit, it could be a huge pit. There is such a huge pit beside the Millennium Pine Tree, and they buried the treasure under a stone that looks like a raindrop! But, after a few hundred years, the pit should have been buried long ago, right? "
"We thought so too," Tian Dongmin said. "But, Qiu Cheng is such a smart person. He would definitely look for a safer place. Why would he bury such an important treasure in a pit?"
"For the past few days, the Taoist priest and the rest searched the entire valley," Wang Taiming said. "No matter if it was the Millennium Pine Tree, the Crescent Moon Pit, or the Raindrop Stone, they didn't find a place that matched the conditions! So, they planned to go to the south tomorrow to check! Who knew that such a tragic thing would happen so early in the morning! So many people died! "
"Oh yeah," Miao Ying quickly asked, "What happened this morning? That explosion … "
"Sigh!" Tian Dongmin sighed. "The Taoist priest was very careful. No matter what, he would always leave a way out for himself!
"As the process of treasure hunting might require breaking rocks, they brought a lot of explosives with them!
Every night, when they set up camp, they would bury a bag of explosives with stones at the perimeter of the camp, just in case. "
"This morning, while we were still in a daze, we heard that someone had surrounded the Taoist priest's campsite, and from the sounds of their voices, they were probably the police!
"At that time, we thought that we were going to be saved! Because the police came very suddenly, and the Grave Robbers were sleeping soundly. When they were caught off guard, they should have been able to subdue them! "
"At first, it was really smooth. The police should have guns, and they quickly surrounded the Grave Robbers!"
"At that time, our tent was near the river, which was quite far from there. Wang and I wanted to run out and call for help, but there were people guarding the tent, so we didn't dare to move."
"Then, the police started shouting for the Grave Robbers to raise their hands above their heads and lie down on the ground. In the end, after a few shouts, the explosives suddenly exploded! Then, gunshots were heard, and the two sides started fighting.
"Unfortunately, the explosion caught the police off guard, and the fight ended very quickly!" Tian Dongmin said dispiritedly. "When we went out, we saw a horrible scene. The police were all killed!"
"At that time, the two of us realized that we wouldn't be able to live for long! But, we never expected that the two of you would be able to save us from such a dangerous situation. It's really … really … "
Oh no!
Hearing this, Zhao Yu felt gloomy again. It seemed that Fu Jianxing and the rest had really died in the hands of the enemy. Although he didn't like Fu Jianxing, he still felt uncomfortable when he heard that Fu Jianxing had died.
No matter what, Fu Jianxing was an outstanding detective. It was not worth it to die in the hands of a bunch of Grave Robbers!
"About this Taoist priest …" Miao Ying asked again, "What else do you know? Where is he from? What's his real name? "
"This person was found by Lao Dong, but I don't know his exact name!" Tian Dongmin said. "But, I heard from Lao Dong that this Taoist priest's hometown is in Qinshan, and he started his family in Qinshan. Later on, he moved to another city to develop. Although Lao Dong said it vaguely, I could tell that this Taoist priest should be very famous! "
"That's right …" Wang Taiming said. "Not only this Taoist priest, but when the Grave Robbers spoke, they all had Qinshan's accent!"
At this point, the four of them saw the tent not far away. Miao Ying quickly took out Zhao Yu's phone and tried to call for help.
But, Zhao Yu was still thinking hard about something …
Through the two old experts' explanation, he now knew the whole story of the Tomb Murder Case. But, he didn't know why, but he felt that he had missed out something!
Be it treasures or grave robbers, he had a feeling that he could find something important from the narration of the two old men!
Especially the mysterious Taoist priest. Although he had never seen him before, Zhao Yu felt that he had seen him before. Could there be something else in here …?
Just as Zhao Yu was thinking, the phone that Miao Ying was holding suddenly rang.
Huh?
The sound was a little special. It wasn't the ringtone of a phone, nor was it a text message or WeChat message.
"Holy sh * t!" Zhao Yu suddenly recalled and quickly said, "It's a walkie-talkie!"
It turned out that the phone that the police station gave out had a walkie-talkie function. In places where the signal wasn't good, it could be used as a walkie-talkie within a small range.
And, the beeping sound meant that someone was using the walkie-talkie to call them!
"Hey?" Zhao Yu's eyes beamed and he quickly said, "This … Could it be that Fu Jianxing … is still alive?"
Miao Ying quickly pressed the answer button. In the end, with a buzzing sound, there was a low and gloomy voice that came from the other side.
"Hello, hello … You really picked up, hehehehe …"
Huh?!
