Li Rui saw that Xu Da was also looking at him, so he explained to the two of them, "I won't take it for now. I'm afraid that there are other people on the mountain, and it won't be good if they suspect us. Let's go up the mountain empty-handed first and see if there are any outsiders on the mountain. At the same time, we can observe the specific environment of the mountain temple and think about the most likely location of the treasure. When the preparations are almost done, I will go down the mountain alone to get the tools. Anyway, this mountain is not high, so it won't take long to go up and down. "
Pusan was indeed not high, only about 100 meters high, and the circumference of the foot of the mountain was about 100 meters. Going up and down from the mountain temple halfway up the mountain was also more than 100 meters, so it wouldn't take much time and effort.
Xu Da nodded happily and stepped toward the foot of the mountain that was full of rubble. In the southeast direction of Pusan, there was a winding mountain road that could allow three or four people to walk side by side. Xu Da was heading toward that road.
Li Rui and Gao Zixuan also hurriedly followed, not daring to waste any time. Li Rui had already been delayed for an hour and a half, and it was almost three o 'clock now, so there was not much time left before the sky turned dark.
The mountain road was not difficult to walk on, but the mountain wind was strong, and the wind was wrapped with the fragrance of all kinds of plants, which was also a beautiful experience. There were all kinds of green plants on both sides of the road, including pine and cypress, as well as shrubs, and jujube trees from time to time. At this time of the year, the sour jujube trees had yet to bear fruit. They had only just started to grow leaves. The whole tree was covered in small green leaves, revealing the vitality of spring. One could also see the fruits that had been borne last year. Now, each and every one of them had already dried into small red lanterns.
After climbing about a quarter of the mountain, they could already overlook Yong Yang Village and the half-hidden river not far from the foot of the mountain. Li Rui also paid special attention to the location of Yong Yang Village and the river. From his angle, the terrain was basically the same as what was engraved on the treasure map.
After confirming this, he was both happy and emotional. The long river of time had always been flowing. The ancients died, and the modern people lived. However, the treasure maps left behind by the ancients and the terrain depicted on the treasure maps did not change much. The modern people could easily find it with the treasure maps. This kind of plot that could only appear in movies or novels actually happened to him. It was really amazing.
He hurriedly told Xu Da and Gao Zixuan about it, even though he was 100% sure of this situation before they set off.
Gao Zixuan purposely stopped and used her eyes to compare the terrain with the description on the treasure map in her hand. Naturally, the result she obtained was the same as Li Rui's. She was overjoyed as she said, "There's a mountain, a small village, and a river. These are the three most obvious points of reference. It must be here. I just don't know if there's a mountain temple on the mountain."
Li Rui smiled and said, "There will definitely be a Mountain God Temple. Don't worry. We will see it after climbing for a while. Don't worry."
As soon as he finished speaking, two pieces of gravel suddenly rolled down from the mountainside, along with a ball of grayish thing. Because the mountain was relatively steep, even though there were slopes and bushes blocking the way, the gravel and the grayish thing still rolled down and finally fell on the road that the three of them were moving forward.
Seeing the gravel falling from the mountain, the three of them all stopped and carefully looked at the mountainside, hoping that no more stones would fall down.
Gao Zixuan cried out in surprise, "Aiya, look, what is that thing? Why is it moving? "
Li Rui stood beside her and looked in the direction that she was pointing. He saw the grayish thing wriggling on the ground and growing bigger and longer. He only looked at it and felt goosebumps all over his body. He thought to himself, "No way, there are demons and ghosts in this mountain?"
However, he quickly dismissed this thought because the grayish thing slowly turned into a big snake and quickly disappeared into the bushes. The snake was not very big. It was as thick as a child's arm and about two meters long. When its body was coiled up, it looked like a bundle of grass rope. In the north, snakes this big were generally not poisonous and were not harmful to humans and animals.
Even so, this snake scared Gao Zixuan so much that her face turned ashen and she stopped moving forward.
"Ah, there is a snake on the mountain, and such a big one."
Miss Gao whispered in fear.
Li Rui said, "Don't worry, this kind of snake is not poisonous and won't bite people. Don't be afraid." Gao Zixuan cried out, "Ah? What if it bites people? "Li Rui laughed and said," If it bites you, you bite me. "Gao Zixuan resentfully rolled her eyes at him and said with her eyes," You wish! "
Although she said that, when the three of them continued to climb up the mountain, they still became more careful. They were really afraid that some stupid snake would jump out and attack them.
At a pass on the mountainside, the three of them found two unique cypress trees on the left and right, like two generals guarding the gate. Li Rui felt that these two cypress trees were very familiar. After thinking carefully for a while, he laughed and said, "I remember now. We have arrived at the Mountain God Temple. After these two trees, we will reach it."
Xu Da said, "There are always people on the mountain." Li Ruiqi said, "How do you know?" Xu Da pointed to the sheep dung beans on the road and said with a smile, "At least there are people who go up the mountain to graze the sheep. Look at these sheep dung beans, they are quite fresh. I guess they were left behind when the sheep passed by this morning. I just don't know if they are still on the mountain. " Li Ruixin secretly praised her. She was indeed a member of the secret service. Her observation and analysis skills were very high. He said, "Let's go and take a look."
The three of them passed through the two cypress trees. After walking for more than ten steps, they saw a pile of ruins under the mountain wall not far ahead. It was like the Old Summer Palace that was burned down by the Eight-Nation Alliance in history books. Broken fences and broken walls, broken tiles and broken tablets. Wasn't this the "legendary" Mountain God Temple?
Li Rui laughed and said, "That's right. I came here to play when I was young." Gao Zixuan disdainfully said, "What's there to be happy about? It's not like we found the treasure. Cut the crap and hurry up and find the treasure. " Li Rui laughed and said, "Don't be anxious. Let's go and take a look at the environment first. Then we can look for the treasure."
The three of them walked towards the ruined Mountain God Temple. The closer they got, the clearer the details of the various locations became in their line of sight.
At the end of the road, there was a mountain wall facing the east. It was more than twenty meters high. The mountain wall was steep and uneven. The upper part was straight up and down, but the lower part was more and more convergent. When they reached the mountainside, it had formed a huge cave with three sides open. The cave was the size of two rooms. In front of the cave was the Mountain God Temple. Of course, the temple had been destroyed. Now, only the foundation was left. Through the four stone platforms scattered around the four corners of the cave, it could be deduced that the Mountain God Temple had cleverly made use of the existence of this cave. It only used the north, south, east, and half of the roof to build such a large temple with three rooms.
It was a pity that this temple, which was a combination of manpower and natural craftsmanship, had been destroyed for some unknown reason. The two walls on the east and west had completely collapsed. Not even the bricks were left. Only a small part of the north wall near the cave was left, and it was only about one meter high. The other parts had all disappeared. The ground clearly showed the unearthed foundation. Other than that, there was nothing left. Not far from the front of the temple, there were a few broken tablets on the ground. The style was simple and unadorned, and the surface was full of traces of time. Only these few broken steles could vaguely prove that this Mountain God Temple was the real body.
When Li Rui came here to play as a child, he didn't know anything. Now that he revisited the old place and saw the Mountain God Temple again, he was very emotional. He couldn't help but admire the wisdom and determination of the ancients. Although the mountainside terrain was relatively flat, there wasn't a large enough flat area for them to build a temple. They were actually able to use a part of the mountain wall and half of the valley to perfectly build such an enormous Mountain God Temple. The mountain wind couldn't blow, the sun couldn't shine. Even if it was raining heavily, it could only wet a part of the wall … Even if they were epoch-making master architects, it wouldn't be enough to express the level of their architectural art.
While he was feeling emotional, Xu Da had already walked around the ruined temple. When he returned to his side, he shook his head and said, "No one, no one."
Gao Zixuan shouted excitedly, "Isn't that the best time to make a move?! Let's hurry up and find the treasure, haha. I didn't feel it when we came, but now I feel excited. "
Xu Da asked, "How do we find it?" Li Rui said, "Let's first walk around the Mountain God Temple and check the place where the treasure is most likely to be hidden. If we can find something, that's the best. If we can't find anything, let's stop and analyze first. Let's see where the treasure is most likely to be hidden. "Xu Da said," Okay, let's walk around first. "
At this time, Gao Zixuan suddenly frowned and said, "Wait, I need to pee." Li Rui didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He said, "You're really a lazy donkey. We haven't even started to look and you're already peeing." Gao Zixuan didn't hold back. He lifted his leg and kicked his calf. He said with a straight face, "Stop talking nonsense. Hurry up and find me a toilet."
Xu Da laughed when he heard this. He ignored the two and went to the cave where the Mountain God Temple was located to look for the treasure.
Li Rui looked around and found that it was very spacious. Other than the cave where the Mountain God Temple was located and half of the northern wall, there was almost no place to hide. He said, "Why don't you go to the cave to pee?" Gao Zixuan glanced at Xu Da who had already walked past. He said in a low voice, "No, Xu Da is already there. How do you want me to pee? Besides, aren't we going to look for the treasure later? If I pee all over the ground, won't you feel ashamed? "Li Rui said in a low voice," Of course I won't. Why would I? I can't wait to like it. "Gao Zixuan glared at him and scolded," Stop talking nonsense. Hurry up and find me a toilet. " Li Rui said, "Since we can't go to Xu Da's place, we can only avoid him. How about this, I'll take you outside to the two cypress trees to pee." Gao Zixuan nodded and pushed him out. He seemed to be in a hurry.
