At the bottom of the abyss, the three of them walked around but did not find anything valuable. It seemed to be just a place that was cut open by a huge force.
After that, they returned to the mountain peak and looked around the world. The more they explored, the more puzzled they became. They did not know what happened here or when it happened.
In short, the three of them could feel that the changes in this world should have happened a long time ago.
From some of the traces, it was far older than the Wu Dynasty. However, they did not know if Shang Song and his wife had anything to do with it.
"Take care of that board." Niu Youdao, who was standing on the cliff and thinking for a while, suddenly turned around and reminded.
Yuan Gang understood what he meant. Wu Chang might come here in the future. If the two boards were not taken care of, anyone with some experience would be able to tell that someone had been here before.
Yuan Gang was experienced in dealing with such things. He turned around and carried out the task.
Niu Youdao searched the ruins of the mountain peak and finally found a broken stone pillar. He started to polish, carve and carve.
Yun Ji, who was looking around, walked over and saw him doing this. She looked at him and asked in confusion, "What are you doing?"
"Making some small things." Niu Youdao was focused and replied casually.
Yun Ji looked carefully at what he was doing. She could not understand what he was doing. She only saw two words carved on it: Treasure Tomb!
Looking at the patterns he had carved, they were pictures of people moving something to bury. Combined with the name "Treasure Tomb", as the name suggested, they were burying some kind of treasure.
Yun Ji was surprised. She did not expect him to know such exquisite craftsmanship. However, the more she looked, the more confused she became. She could not help but ask, "What are you doing?"
Niu Youdao: "You will understand."
Not long later, Yuan Gang returned and asked, "Daoye, this is?"
Niu Youdao: "For you."
Yuan Gang was stunned, "For me?"
As they spoke, Niu Youdao had finished. He got up and patted the stone pillar, "Take it."
He looked around again, "Looks like this is it. It should not be a big problem. It is not suitable for us to leave for too long. Let's go back."
Yuan Gang didn't say anything else. He carried the stone pillar on his shoulder and pursed his lips.
The three snow-feathered birds that had landed in the distance all flapped their wings and flew towards the three of them. The three of them jumped onto the birds and flew into the sky …
After flying over thousands of mountains and rivers, he once again arrived at the edge of the desert and saw the conspicuous high platform on the ground.
As they approached, Niu Youdao jumped down, followed by Yun Ji.
Yuan Gang rode the Snow-Feathered Bird and swooped down.
Niu Youdao landed on the top of the pyramid and Yun Ji followed him down. When the Snow Feathered Birds swept past, Yuan Gang took advantage of the momentum and landed beside the two of them. He let out a long howl towards the sky and the three Snow Feathered Birds took a detour and rose into the sky, leaving just like that.
After sending him off with her gaze, Yun Ji turned around and saw that Niu Youdao was reaching out to check the notch on the ceiling again. She was alarmed and said, "What are you trying to do now? Haven't you been struck by lightning enough?"
Niu Youdao rolled his eyes. He couldn't be bothered to respond to her and continued to feel around.
However, Yuan Gang could tell from his hand that he was making measurements.
After a while, Niu Youdao stretched out his hand for the stone pillar and placed it on the top of the square stone. He drew his sword and started carving on the broken end.
Yun Ji and Yuan Gang did not understand what he was doing at first. When they saw the outline of the carving, they understood that this fellow was making a joint according to the notch.
Was he going to erect the pillar on top of it? Yun Ji's eyes flickered. She thought of the carvings on the stone pillar and the two words' treasure tomb '. She suddenly understood and asked in surprise, "Niu Youdao, who are you trying to harm this time?"
The reason was simple. If anyone came here and saw the carvings on the stone pillar, they would mistakenly think that this high platform was a place where treasures were buried and would have to open it by force.
As for the consequences of opening it by force, it was clear what would happen when Niu Youdao was struck by lightning.
Yun Ji said, "Who are you trying to lure here and use the power of this formation to kill them?"
Niu Youdao sneered as he worked, "I have nothing better to do. Who do you think I'm trying to lure?"
Yun Ji said, "Wu Chang?"
Niu Youdao said, "There is no need to lure Wu Chang. He knows the way to come in and he also knows what this high platform is. This trick is useless against him. It is also not convenient to tell the other nine saints. Otherwise, no matter who comes in, they will have to go through the monkey. This is sending the monkey to the gates of hell. "
Yun Ji was suspicious, "Then why are you doing this so mysteriously?"
Niu Youdao said, "Sister Yun, I find that you are becoming more and more like a matchmaker. It is better to make more preparations just in case. "
Yun Ji still did not understand.
After finishing the work on the stone pillar, Niu Youdao held the stone pillar upright, and slowly inserted the adjusted tenon into the groove. When he let go of it, the size was just right, and the stone pillar, which was about three feet long, stood steadily on the square stone at the top of the tower.
After confirming that there were no problems, Niu Youdao pulled up the stone pillar. With a sudden push, the stone pillar immediately toppled over.
Yun Ji and Yuan Gang were stunned as they watched the stone pillar tumble down the steps of the tower. Finally, due to inertia, it fell into the desert.
The two turned to look at Niu Youdao, not knowing what he was doing.
Niu Youdao said to Yuan Gang, "Remember where it landed."
Yuan Gang did not know what he meant but knew that he must have a reason for doing this. He compared the position of the stone pillar and after confirming it, nodded, "I will remember."
Niu Youdao swept away the stone debris that was left at the scene. With a leap, he descended from the sky and landed lightly on the sandy ground. Then, he picked up the stone pillar that was already mottled and weathered. Once again, he worked hard and aged the stone pillar.
Yun Ji and Yuan Gang came to the side to watch.
After watching for a while, Yun Ji wondered, "Your technique looks like that of an old hand. Did you learn stonemasonry in the village?"
Niu Youdao grunted, "More or less."
Yuan Gang's lips curled up forcefully.
When he was done, Niu Youdao stood up with the support of the pillar and stared at Yuan Gang, "With you here, I am most worried about Lv Wushuang. I do not know how much she knows about the situation here but I know that she will definitely think of a way to deal with you. With her influence and power, many things are hard to predict and perhaps impossible to guard against. Now that you are not by my side, I may not be able to take care of you. However, I still hope that you can listen to my advice! "
"It is still the same words that I have repeatedly said to you. Those who are too strong are easy to break, those who are too soft are invincible! Brother, you don't need to fight head-on with everything. If you're forced to a point where you have no other choice, remember to size up the situation. If Lv Wushuang finds you, do not make unnecessary sacrifices based on your bravery. Do not easily fight to your death. Remember that there is a way out here that may save your life! It is easy to die, but it is not easy to live. Once the situation is suitable, do not hesitate to submit to her and make a living. Do not let me come here for nothing. Do you understand? "
Yun Ji understood and was moved. She was in awe as she realized that this man was really worried about this brother.
Yuan Gang's cheeks tightened and he nodded.
"Then remember this well. Remember the location of this thing!" Niu Youdao suddenly shouted and slapped with his palm.
Bang! With a swoosh, the stone pillar was smashed into the sand by his palm, and there was no top.
Yuan Gang stared at the position where the stone pillar sank and then looked back at the base of the pyramid. He counted the position and distance between the stone stronghold and the burial ground. Finally, he turned back and nodded, "I will remember it!"
Niu Youdao waved his hand, "Let's go back!"
…
In the military tent, Luo Zhao personally explained the current situation to Yu Cang and the others in front of the map.
Outside the tent, Guo Xingshan strode in and quickly reported to Yu Cang, "Master, the spy reported that Ximen Qingkong is here!"
"Oh, so fast?" Yu Cang turned around and was surprised. "Has he recovered from his injuries?"
Luo Zhao stopped and looked. He had heard about some of the things that happened in Qi Capital.
Guo Xingshan said, "I am not sure."
"How many people came?"
"Just him alone!"
"Alone?" Yu Cang paced with his hands behind his back. "He is so impatient. It seems that we were going in the wrong direction from the beginning. We should have let him know that Xuan Wei is dead. A corpse is enough to control him!" He stopped and turned back, "General Luo, someone who is not afraid of death is coming. Be careful and don't get hurt."
He turned back and shouted to Guo Xingshan, "Inform the people along the way to let him come!"
"Yes!"
More than ten miles away from the camp, a horse galloped like the wind. Dressed in a gray cloak, Ximen Qingkong, with a face full of scars, galloped alone.
He contacted the spies of the Fog Manor in the vicinity and found out the location of the enemy's main camp. He rode alone.
There were countless gentle slopes on the grassland, and the terrain was uneven. He galloped like a shadow. Occasionally, he could see Qin army patrols. The closer he got to the Qin camp, the more frequent the patrols became.
The place where the army had gathered gradually appeared in his sight, getting closer and closer.
Outside the camp, there were rows of barricades. Yu Cang, who was standing on a slope inside the camp, looked at them and smiled. The person who was saved by the Ghost Doctor had come to him so easily.
"Make way!" Yu Cang shouted.
The guards at the gate received the order. A group of people ran out and moved the barricades to the side.
Just as they moved, Ximen Qingkong had already charged in on his horse.
Luo Zhao, who was watching from a slope far away, sighed. "How brave!" There was a hint of pity in his tone, as if he was pitying a brave man.
The horse's speed gradually came to a halt at the bottom of the slope. Ximen Qingkong, who was sitting on the horse's back, looked around expressionlessly, and found that it was heavily guarded.
His gaze finally fell on Yu Cang's face. Before it fell on Yu Cang's face, it lingered on Dugu Jing's face for a while.
Yu Cang laughed loudly. "Brother Ximen, I've been waiting for you."
Ximen Qingkong: "Where is Xuan Wei?"
Yu Cang: "Where is the thing I want?"
Ximen Qingkong: "I want to see her first!"
"No problem!" Yu Cang waved his hand, and someone immediately carried a board. The board was covered with a piece of white cloth, and it was obvious that there was a person under the white cloth.
The person was carried in front of him. Yu Cang personally lifted one end of the white cloth, revealing a person's face. It was the lifelike Xuan Wei, who had her eyes closed.
The board tilted slightly, revealing her face to Ximen Qingkong.
Yu Cang's palm grabbed at Xuan Wei's lips. Xuan Wei slowly opened her mouth, and a crystal clear pearl floated in the air.
