Mountain and Sea Treasures

Chapter 115

Sure enough, I guessed right, just as we ran through a forest, all the black cuckoos stopped and stared at us for a long time in mid-air.Only then did they hide into the forest one by one, without being seen at all.

After all this running around, we no longer had the time to think about the formation, and we all leaned against the tree to rest one by one.

"What the hell was that just now?" I gasped and asked, "It looks like a cuckoo, and it also looks like a bat."

"I also heard Zigui singing the night moon, worrying about the empty mountain." Lao Yan muttered: "It's probably a cuckoo, but it's also changed."

"This thing is really refined..." I panted heavily, thinking of the way they stared at us just now, I just felt very human.

But also, birds that know how to drive us away are never going to be normal.

Miss Qiu straightened her messy hair a little to make herself look less embarrassed, and said that Li Bai's "The Road to Shu" seemed to mention a lot of things, could it be possible that she would encounter them one by one?

We have thought about this problem before, but no one thinks it will come true. After all, we have also experienced the hardships and dangers along the way.The few of us were embarrassed when we came here, then Li Bai is a literati, and if we really encountered the things he said, we should have buried our bones in a foreign country long ago.

"It seems to be about the same now." Lao Yan took a few puffs of cigarettes before he recovered a little.

He told us not to take it lightly. Who knows under what circumstances "The Difficult Road to Shu" was written?If all the things mentioned in it have to come to say hello, I'm afraid we won't be enough to play with a few lives.

I thought about the things that appeared in the poems, which were both tigers and snakes. I agreed with Lao Yan's words very much, and I was even more worried.

If we met the fierce tiger described by Li Bai, it is estimated that the few of us would be swallowed one by one.

"It's useless to think about it. Soldiers come and cover it up with soil." I smiled, and I've come to this point. No matter what it comes from, I have to fight hard.

It was too late after such a toss, and we didn't dare to rush on the road again, so we had to pick up some dead wood and set it up to burn a fire for a rest.

"Does Cancong Tomb really exist?" Yazai asked softly, his face was flushed red under the light of the fire: "We have encountered many things along the way, but even bird paths have appeared. Cancong’s tomb has disappeared for a long time. Do you think these things are just illusions? In fact, what is described in "The Difficult Road to Shu" is nothing more than Li Taibai's fantasy."

For some reason, he who firmly believed that we were close to Can Cong's tomb along the way suddenly said this.After all, when he encountered the formation, he still swore that it was the handicraft of the ancient Shu Kingdom, but he changed his mind in such a short period of time.

Lao Yan patted him on the shoulder: "Do you still remember the purpose of 701?"

Yazai didn't reply, of course he didn't need to reply at all, everyone present knew that 701 has only one purpose, that is: defend the national treasure with my mission!

No matter how difficult and dangerous the road is, as long as it is for this purpose, we can keep going.

"We don't get something every time we go out, no." Lao Yan lit a cigarette again: "It should be said that most of the time we go out and get nothing at all. Group after group of people smashed in and turned over one by one. , Most of the time, it was nothing, but the reason why I still insist on it is just not to give up hope every time."

Yazai was silent, wondering if he was moved by his persuasion.

Lao Yan stared at the fire, as if he was recalling something, and his tone was a bit ethereal: "The members of 701 have changed a lot, because they encountered many dangers. Since its establishment, many people just met me and lived in forever. The Cemetery of the Unknown Soldier! But none of us thought of giving up. If even we gave up, many national treasures would never see the light of day, and even be displayed in foreign museums. We knew when we set off this trip that the silkworm Cong Tomb and even the ancient Shu Kingdom are illusory things that exist in legends. Even if there is the Sanxingdui ruins, no one can say how authentic the ruins are, but we still came here because of that glimmer of hope. What you have to do is to use actions to identify, if you can find it, you will be overjoyed, and if you can’t find it, you don’t have to regret it.”

We were fascinated by listening, Lao Yan seldom expresses such emotions, his performance along the way tells us that the Cancong Tomb must exist, but no one knows that he is also disturbed in his heart.

"Oh, I'm getting old, so it's inevitable that I'm a bit verbose." Lao Yan rubbed his face, lay down casually on the ground, and wrapped himself in a sleeping bag: "The old man will go to bed first, you guys watch the vigil."

Miss Qiu shook her head helplessly, then pointed at me and said, "I'll watch the first half of the night, and you watch the second half of the night, so hurry up and sleep for a while now."

"Then what about me?" Yazai leaned over, the depression just now disappeared, and the inexplicable excitement appeared on his face.

Miss Qiu slapped him on the face: "Okay, kids, hurry up and go to bed, don't make trouble."

Yazai pointed at what I wanted to say in disbelief, and I also pointed back: "You fix your injuries first..."

Although his wound from being pecked by the cuckoo a few times was not serious, he was frightened from the moment he got off the cliff, and even this little wound made him very uncomfortable.

Yazai groaned a few times, but in the end he didn't struggle any more, and wrapped himself in a sleeping bag, he slept next to Lao Yan.

Kumbu was not assigned to watch the night, but he didn't go to sleep either. Instead, he got up to let us sleep, and he went for a walk.

go for a walk?

I looked at the forest shrouded in night, and felt eerie. What is there to do in such a place?

Miss Qiu also frowned, staring at Kumbu's back, saying that something was wrong with him.

"Sister Qiu, will something happen to him?" I was a little worried.

Miss Qiu leaned against the tree, her two beautiful legs were bent casually, looking lazy and wanton: "Don't worry, he is the one in the team who will be the least likely to have any accidents."

I thought about it, too, along the way we were injured a lot, and Kumbu was cheated by Tashi once at the beginning, and he was never injured again, so there is really no need to worry.

By the way, Tashi!
I watched the direction where Kumbu was leaving, and suddenly thought of a possibility that Kumbu might be looking for Tashi.

I haven’t seen Tashi since he rescued me and Lao Yan from the dead man, but I always feel that he should always be nearby, although he has repeatedly stated that he is not following us...

And the Shadow Gu planted at unknown time also shows that he has indeed been to the bottom of the cliff, whether he came with us or not, it is enough to show that he is very likely to be nearby.

"Looking for Tashi?" Miss Qiu raised her eyebrows: "This is really interesting!"
