Imperial City Investigative Department

Chapter 57 The Truth (Part [-])
Wu Chen rushed into the col, what he saw made him even more angry!

The scene where ghosts flourished in the mountain col no longer exists, there are a few scattered here and there, although the number is quite a lot, it is a world of difference compared to the previous scene!
"I was sincere to you, and you lied to me! You're all leaving tonight, aren't you?"

The old voice sounded again: "Finally, my heart softened."

Wu Chen looked over and saw an old man in a white robe floating in the middle of the mountain with his back to Wu Chen.

"What have you got to lose by telling the truth to me?"

"I've been a human being, and there are very few people who are credible. I just want to leave."

"I haven't asked you where the underground entrance is yet! I want to keep some important questions. You can be at ease in your heart, but you are lucky. You have already thought about plotting against me. You are gone. I have not finished my errands. You will be punished, what good will you get if you go there? I don't believe that the good and the bad will be the same after the past!"

Wu Chen was really angry. He always wanted to subdue ghosts with virtue, so he came here one after another, and took several night shifts in a row, just to send them all away. I was sincerely moved, and then asked what to say, but I almost fell for it without thinking about it.

"Hey, the entrance is easy to find. When we are all gone, you can find it if you come in and look carefully. The mechanism has been destroyed. You don't need to worry about what will happen after you touch it. The col will not change its position again, although I didn't say when it can be emptied. The mountain col, but there are no difficult things left for you, but some things still depend on chance."

Wu Chen scratched his forehead. He didn't expect to clean up the mountain tonight. It turned out to be a bit sudden. He couldn't remember what else to ask. After thinking for a while, Wu Chen suddenly raised his head and asked, "Who built this place?" ?”

"Where did you ask?"

Wu Chen was stunned for a moment, and immediately found the crux of the problem, he quickly asked: "Didn't a group of people build the place where the treasure is hidden underground and the mechanism in the mountain depression?"

"Because they knew that there was such a mechanism in this mountain col, they were valued by Qi Xuan, and they hid the gold and silver treasures underground. Like those people now, they dug through the tunnel to hide the treasure, so I said that if those people dug it right, There must be traps waiting for them, and if you can go down from the entrance in the mountain depression, you will not encounter them."

"Didn't you say that the col and the treasure are two places? We can also find the treasure when we go down from the entrance of the col?"

"That's why I say it depends on the chance."

"It's as if I didn't say it! According to what you mean, Qi Xuan and those people were not allowed to enter the mountain col?"

"The various changes in this mountain col have existed for a long time, and no one can explain it."

Wu Chen scratched his forehead and asked, "Then how can we find the hidden treasure?"

"Whether you can find the underground treasure depends on the ability of the person behind you besides chance."

"What is the entrance in the col for?"

"I only said that it leads underground and is very close to the place where the treasure is hidden."

"How long have you been in here?"

"I can't remember clearly, it will be there in 500 years."

Wu Chen gasped, "I've caught up with Brother Monkey!"

"This mountain depression is so strange that many people want to find out. I am one of them. People at the foot of the mountain say that there is a mountain god living on the mountain. Don't disturb them without authorization. Otherwise, you will be punished. But most people think that they are an odd number. He is a person favored by heaven, and then they all come in."

"But there were no ghosts at the beginning, why did you die?"

"It's been a game from the beginning...and people are more terrifying than ghosts."

"Slowly, fewer and fewer people know about the strangeness of this mountain col, but Qi Xuan still found this place, so he thought of using the original weirdness of the mountain col to protect his belongings, waiting for his descendants to have a chance Activate it again... and then we will come."

"Get out, Zishi will be here soon, and I can finally leave here."

"Are you sure the exit will definitely appear?"

"There are a lot of difficult things in the world. If you figure it out, they are actually not difficult to solve. For hundreds of years, the more people who think they have learned something, the more they want to break through the formation outside the mountain depression. They all come in, but you are different. I came up with this method, but even if I could think of this method at the beginning, I am afraid that no one can do it, so everything is a chance! Besides, the formation method is also old."

Wu Chen didn't say anything else, he cupped his fists at the white-clothed old man, turned around and walked out of the col.

As soon as he came out, he went straight to Gu You and said seriously:

"You go back immediately and tell Si Zun that the col will be clean at the end of the ugly night tonight. The ghost gang has dug a tunnel underground, and there is an exit outside the col. Once the col is clean, they will know if there is any movement. Then It is very likely that a large number of people will come out of the tunnel, and there is still time to find the exit and block it! You just report back like this when you go back, and Si Zun will know how to deal with it. Remember, don’t be smart and make changes!"

Gu You's face was serious when he heard it at first, but he was a little annoyed when he heard the last sentence, and said, "I'm not that unbearable! I'm leaving, I'm afraid the ghost gang will show up again soon..."

Wu Chen waved his hand and said:
"It's all a chance! Besides, it's useless for them to kill me now, and my death at this time will not affect Si Zun much, so I won't implicate you. Go and dispatch troops as soon as possible. After clearing away all the members of the Ghost Mandrill Gang and blocking the exit, you can calmly go underground to find the treasure, and you tell Si Zun that the underground entrance in the mountain depression is not the underground entrance of the treasure, so let's go."

Gu You also knew that the matter was of great importance, so he didn't dare to delay, and led a small group of people to get on the horse and whip away immediately, without even saying a word to Gao Er and Xu Da.

Wu Chen called Senior Two and Xu Da to him and said:
"You also know that I will fall to the ground after a while. I am worried that the Ghost Mandrill Gang will make a final move when they see Gu You leading people away. They don't know that I am useless at this time, and they will still try their best to kill me. You guys Don't worry about me, just take care of yourself, remember, I can't die!"

Sophomore and Xu Dazhong nodded.

"and also……"

Before Wu Chen finished speaking, the beam of light appeared, and Wu Chen collapsed to the ground in pain.

Senior Two and Xu Da seemed to be used to this scene, so they didn't take a second look at Wu Chen, but stared around guardedly with their long swords in their hands.

Not long after, Wu Chen heard the sound of clashing swords and shouts. The members of the Ghost Mandrill Gang were silent, and those who could shout should be those soldiers in armor. Only from the sound, they should be The wailing sound after being hit by the sword.

Wu Chen wanted to divert his attention so that he wouldn't feel so much pain when he thought about other things, but just thinking about the second year of high school and Xu Da, the pain of bursting blood vessels pulled him back to his body, and he wanted to groan in pain. He didn't even have the strength to hum twice.

Although Senior Two and Xu Da believed Wu Chen's words and knew that Wu Chen would not die, they still subconsciously guarded Wu Chen's sides, fighting with the grimacing man in black who desperately wanted to kill Wu Chen.
