461 Chapter 461 Siguniang Mountain (21)

We carefully but aimlessly searched the safe area. After a while, we found nothing. The only thing nearby that had some reference value seemed to be the amber monster egg and the ones with carved patterns in front of it. There are no stone bricks, and there is no place that looks like there is a secret passage.

There are still a lot of stone bricks in the safe area, but those stone bricks are all in a mess, and most of them are seriously damaged and look very dilapidated.

I said to my brother and sister: "Logically speaking, if there is a secret passage entrance, it should be hidden in a very hidden place, right?"

Bai Hao said: "This is generally the case, but aren't there exceptions? And if Xiao Qiling hadn't activated some mechanism just now, there would be tentacles and black hair all over this place, and even these floor tiles can't be seen, so here It’s considered a hidden place.”

I looked around and said, "But it doesn't look like there is an entrance nearby, so I still think it's more likely to be on the side of the big tree."

Zhang Qiling looked at me, and Bai Hao asked, "Why?"

I patted my chest and said, "Intuition. Of course, I have a basis for saying this. Think about it, what are the things in this place most afraid of? Who should be here?"

Li Yue said: "Of course the one who came here should be Zhang Qiling. If I'm afraid, I'm naturally afraid of him."

I said "Oh": "Yes, I am just afraid of Zhang Qiling. Since only the patriarch Zhang Qiling can know the family secrets, then naturally only the patriarch can enter the secret passage. Even if others know where the entrance is, without the patriarch The leader cannot break in easily.

Therefore, such a passage opening specially opened for Zhang Qiling must be hidden in a position that only talented people can secure. If it is not secured, there will be traps and other traps that will be very dangerous even if Zhang Qiling tries to break through.

Zhang Qiling has characteristics that no one else has. The most obvious ones are his pure unicorn blood and his superb skills. Both of the necessary conditions are indispensable. So this area must be dangerous and hidden. Then I think it meets these characteristics. The only place left was that tree.

Although this tree is so huge now, even if it was bigger thousands of years ago, it should be much smaller than it is now, and the branches are not so lush. If there is a secret passage, it may be blocked by the tentacles of those branches. Well, I think we should find a way to see the main trunk of the big tree, just in case there is a mystery up there. What, is it reasonable or reliable to think like this? "

Bai Hao raised his lips slightly and nodded, saying: "It is indeed reasonable and reasonable. The investigation on the periphery has almost been completed. If there is a little trouble, let's search the area around that tree carefully."

Li Yue said, "Okay, I'll go talk to them." Then she walked towards Zhang Rishan and the team leader of her brother's group.

We all gathered in the open area in front of the big tree. We all discussed the next plan. They were going to search around the big tree inch by inch from the outside to the inside. They also said that they would make some torches to search the big tree. While walking around the tree, first use fire to burn the black hairy fungi attached nearby to clear away those dangerous obstacles. If the hidden entrance is still not found, then attack the branches that are like vines wrapped around the trunk of the big tree.

These people all moved very quickly. In a short while, they had all the torches ready. They lit the flames and walked towards the big tree.

My brother pulled me to a position he felt was safe, and took out a relatively thick piece of cloth from the bag. I asked him, "What are you doing with the cloth?"

He said to me in a calm tone: "Wait for me here." He turned around and walked to an area with many broken bricks and squatted down.

I watched him spread the piece of cloth on the ground, and then he squatted down, grabbed the gravel bricks from the ground one by one, and put them on the cloth. Soon there was a pile of them, and he patted them. I patted the dirt on my hands, and I felt that he had done a lot of it, which was almost it. Before he got up, he added a few more small pieces, then picked them up, picked them up and walked back.

When he walked up to me, he put the cloth bag on the ground in front of me. I tilted my head slightly and looked at him. He reached out and held something in front of me. When he opened his palm, I saw that it was the size of a chestnut. of gravel, I looked at him doubtfully.

He knelt down and said to me, "Can you grind it up?"

I stretched out my hand to take it and put it in my hand. I gently wrapped my little hand around the broken stone. A faint golden light flashed from between my fingers. The small stone was immediately shattered into fine powder by the spiritual power. I stretched out my hand and took it. She handed him her little hand and asked him, "Is this okay?"

He twirled it with his fingers, looked at the pile of rubble on the cloth on the ground and said to me, "The same goes for those." After saying that, he prepared to stand up.

My first reaction was to find it unbelievable. The stones he got weighed about ten kilograms at least by visual inspection. He actually asked me to turn them into stone powder by hand. Seeing his serious expression, I guess he must have great uses for it. So he asked him softly: "Are you anxious?"

He nodded, and I grabbed a handful of stones and said to him seriously: "Don't worry, leave it to me. I will give you a large bag of stone powder of the same quality soon."

He touched my head and stood up and walked towards the big tree. I admired his back for a while and then began to think about how to quickly deal with this bag of rocks.

The stones picked up by my brother are basically relatively small. It seems that they are selected according to the size that my hand can hold. However, my hand can only completely wrap and hold a stone as big as a chestnut in the palm of my hand at one time. , it would take too much time to break this big bag one by one.

I touched the piece of cloth my brother used. In fact, it was a large piece of soft leather. I suddenly had an immature idea, but I thought it was the simplest, fastest and most effective way to remove them. Way to get it done.I just did it, carefully picked up the corners of the leather cloth, and gathered them together bit by bit like a bun, wrapping all the gravel in it. I took out a spiritual rope from the bag and gave it to It was tied tightly and sealed, and then he held the bundle with one hand, and began to pat the leather ball-like stone bag gently with the other hand.

Over there at the big tree, Gou Wuye was looking leisurely at the tree without knowing what he was looking at.

Not a few steps away, Qi Tiezui was pulling at the branches that were wrapped around the big tree, rapping on them with his knuckles a few times, and then said after him: "Listen, there's a bang bang sound."

Zhang Rishan reminded him: "Be careful."

Before Qi Tiezui opened his mouth, Fifth Master Gou said in a casual tone: "Just touch it randomly. If it starts moving after a while, be careful of it hitting you."

Qi Tiezui couldn't help but rolled his eyes, and then said: "I can't see how to cut the branches here. The moving tentacles just now were like beef tendons, but they were easy to cut, but these hard ones It’s like an iron bar.”

Zhang Rishan said: "This thing is difficult to handle, but we have to find a way to solve it. It depends on the situation. The entrance may be hidden here in the tree, but whether it is below or above. You can only see the clues if you open it. Don't worry, the clan leader will not let you hide it." The whole tree was stripped of its branches.”

Zhang Qiling held a torch in one hand and touched the branches wrapped around the tree trunks from time to time. Bai Hao came over and asked him, "How are you doing?"

Zhang Qiling just shook his head, and Bai Hao turned to look at the tree, peering in through the gaps between the overlapping branches, and said, "The wrapping is too thick and you can't see anything. Where did you open the mechanism just now?"

Zhang Qiling took a deep breath and said slowly: "There is an iron chain on the branch opposite that can be pulled."

Bai Hao nodded thoughtfully, "Oh," and then heard the sound of hitting the ball. He turned around and said, "The task you gave her?"

Zhang Qiling also slowly turned his head and looked in the direction of the sound, and saw Xiao Xun with a serious expression. One look at him and he knew that this clever little ghost must have thought of some good way to get twice the result with half the effort and was working hard to complete the task.

Bai Hao looked at Xiaoxun and then at Zhang Qiling, who was staring at Xiaoxun intently. He smiled slightly and said, "Our little Xun is cute, isn't he."

Bai Hao observed Zhang Qiling's reaction with his brother's eyes, and saw that his eyes stayed on Xiaoxun for another moment, and then he kept his expressionless and stiff body, twisting himself back to the direction of the big tree, and became stunned.

Bai Hao said to him: "Did you feel itchy after watching it?"

Zhang Qiling reached out to touch the branch as if nothing had happened, and continued to explore until his fingers did not move at all.

Bai Hao said: "Actually, for two people, the difference in time is not very important, right? Boys, take the initiative when expressing, don't express nothing, just say a few words, it's okay. Yes, brother will help you find a solution regarding memory."

Zhang Qiling touched a branch as if nothing had happened, as if he was not listening to Bai Hao at all. Just when Bai Hao was about to sigh, Zhang Qiling suddenly said to him: "I will, thank you."

Bai Hao smiled instantly, thinking that the boy's words were a little brief, but the answer was clear and obvious.

As I patted it, the leather bag gradually became smaller, changing from hard to soft. I patted it for a few times and then shook it. When I could no longer hear the dull and crackling sound made by the stones hitting the leather cloth. When there was a grunting sound, I grasped the straps of the bag with both hands, picked it up and shook it.

After shaking it for a few times, I was exhausted, but I gritted my teeth and endured the pain in my arms and insisted on shaking it a few more times, because when it was opened, the stone residue that had not completely turned into fine powder would run to the top. Come on, I'll squeeze it a few more times and we'll be done.

After a while, I was immersed in doing the final finishing work. A man came over and said to me: "Qilin, the patriarch asked me to come and see how this is doing."

I stayed alert at all times when I was alone. I raised my head and glanced at this person. I don’t know why, but the first thing I felt when I saw him was that something wasn’t right about the way he looked at me.

His head was slightly lowered and his eyes were slightly raised. It was clear that he was not looking at people directly. There was a trace of fear in his eyes. The look on his face when he spoke also made me feel that he was not helping to convey the message. Moreover.

For things like sending messages, usually if my brother can't get over by himself and has to send something to me, he always asks Brother Bai Hao, Sister Liyue or my other brothers and sisters to come to me, even if it's not them, I'll let someone I know come.

I glanced at Sister Liyue, who was searching for the entrance with Zhang Rishan and the others. My brother was on the other side of the big tree with Brother Bai Hao, and Brother Bai Hao was just standing next to him. If he really wanted to find me, he would directly Just call Brother Bai Hao to come. There is no reason to call such a person here. What's more, someone has attacked me before. They will leave me alone and will not bring a stranger to my side. There must be something wrong with this person. .
