Mountain and Sea Treasures

Chapter 116

Seeing Miss Qiu like this, I became more curious about the relationship between Kumbu and Tashi.

Let's say the two are enemies!None of them had the intention of killing the other party, and even Tashi saved us.

But if the relationship between the two is good!It's really not like it, at least the disgusted expression that Kumbu puts on every time he mentions Tashi is definitely not pretending.

"Go, go, what are you asking so much for?" Ms. Qiu pushed me aside: "Aren't you tired after a day and a night of tossing around, take a rest quickly, and pick up my shift in the middle of the night."

Seeing that she didn't want to talk more, I lay on the side to sleep a little resentfully, but I pretended to be something, and couldn't fall asleep at first.Ms. Qiu, who was watching, laughed straight away, saying that you, a big man, even started to inquire about things, why did you lose your soul when you didn't inquire.

I grinned and said, "Isn't this really a curiosity? You said how the two brothers can get along like this. Didn't they all say that twins have a good relationship?"

When I was young, I heard the grandfather next door talk about it, saying that there is telepathy between the twins, so they generally have a good relationship.

"It's not uncommon. Nanjiang will experience bloody storms every time he changes the Gu king, but this time it happens to be their brother's turn." Miss Qiu shrugged, and then said: "I don't know much, I just know It is indeed because of the battle between Gu kings, there are many strange customs in places like southern Xinjiang, and it is not just a matter of victory or defeat. Well, you don’t need to ask, Kumbu’s mouth is like a clam shell, If he doesn't want to say it, no one can pry it out."

Speaking of this, I would be ignorant to inquire further, so I smiled at Miss Qiu, and then looked at the foggy sky with my arms on my pillow.But it might be because I was too tired, and finally I fell asleep after looking at it like this, and I didn’t see Kumbu come back before I fell asleep.

I fell asleep in the middle of the night, and it was Miss Qiu who kicked me a few times before I woke up. I rubbed my eyes and realized that it was time for the shift change.Kumbu has also returned, leaning against a tree with his eyes closed, wondering if he fell asleep.

"Get up quickly, I'm going to have a beauty sleep." Miss Qiu yawned, kicked my feet impatiently, wrapped herself in a sleeping bag, and fell asleep before she finished speaking.

Only then did I realize that Miss Qiu had worked very hard along the way. Not only did she not rest for a day and a night, she was also poisoned by rats.The reason why she had to stay in the middle of the night should be for my consideration, but I actually fell asleep, and I was a little embarrassed for a while.

I quickly got up, found a tree to lean against, and observed the surroundings vigilantly.There are so many things encountered along the way, who knows if there is something staring at us in the dark?

The forest is very quiet, only the sound of some birds and insects in the distance, but the forest we are in seems to be isolated from the world, except for the rustling of leaves, there is no other sound at all.

"You guys did meet Tashi last time, right?" The sudden voice startled me.

I turned my head and saw Kumbu staring at me with open eyes, without the slightest sleepiness in his eyes, which made me suspect that he was actually waiting for me to wake up.

At first I wanted to complain that people are scary, but I didn’t dare to make jokes when I saw Kumbu’s appearance, so I just nodded: "It seems that you know everything."

I simply told the story of Tashi saving us.

"Guess." Kumbu glanced at me, replied lightly, and then closed his eyes again, which completely stopped my desire to gossip.Looking at him like this, I knew he wouldn't say anything. I didn't have the guts to ask him anything.

Watching the night alone was a bit boring. I took a branch to write and draw on the ground, and made a brief summary of the things we encountered since we entered Taibai Mountain. Finally, I found that although the journey was dangerous, there were no casualties at all. Not bad!Compared with the dreadful days in Lop Nur, this is already the best result.

Fortunately, nothing happened at night. When it was daylight, everyone else woke up. Everyone was refreshed after a night of sleep. They baked some dry food on the spot, and then packed up and continued on their way.

"Isn't the bottom of the cliff too big?" Yazai complained as he walked, "Look at the mountains on both sides. If we continue walking like this, will we get out?"

I looked into the distance with the binoculars, and then shook my head: "I can't get out, the bottom of the cliff is obviously sealed, and there are mountains on the front, back, left, and right sides. If I want to come over, I'm afraid there is only one bird path. Of course, There is no certainty, there may be other paths that we have not discovered, but it must be more difficult than walking the bird path."

Lao Yan raised his head and looked at the top, and said with emotion that the cliff surrounded by mountains in all directions is a hopeless situation, and the fog on the upper layer is too thick, even if the plane flies over it, he might not be able to find this place, it can be called a top secret .

"So if there is no tomb in this kind of place, it's really a waste..." Miss Qiu let out a hey.

Lao Yan stroked the stubble growing on his chin, and agreed with Miss Qiu's words.

But this place surrounded by mountains in all directions is really not small. We had been tossing all day yesterday, and we walked for a long time today, but there is still no end. The most important thing is that the feeling of being watched is becoming more and more obvious.

"Let's take a break." Lao Yan took out the kettle and took a sip of water, then sat down on the ground: "Chang'an, can you see anything?"

I studied it with a telescope for a while, and then said: "Have you noticed that the road we walked is in the shape of a dragon?"

The bird path can be said to be a dragon's claw, the east of the bird path is the dragon's head, and the west part I guess is the dragon's tail.

Lao Yan snorted, and ignored the fact that the tree was full of silkworms, he climbed up the tree with a binoculars, pondered for a while and said, "Don't say it, it's really interesting, this dragon hidden yes."

"That's right, the dragon hidden in the mountain, although it is not comparable to the Kunlun dragon vein, but it is also an excellent burial place for emperors and generals! So if the tomb of Cancong really exists, it should be in the dragon's head." I gestured.

Lao Yan jumped down from the tree and nodded: "That's right, but the distance between the faucets is not too close."

I smiled and said, "This is Cancong's tomb, it's lucky to have walked all the way."

"Good awareness." Miss Qiu put one hand on my shoulder, and pointed the flagon in the other hand: "If there is Cancong Tomb, we are really lucky."

"What do you mean?" I turned to look at her, only to feel that her tone was a bit wrong.

Miss Qiu took another sip of wine and said worriedly: "Since the excavation of the Sanxingdui site, the archaeological community has been looking for traces of the ancient Shu kingdom. Apart from the Sun God Bird, there is no other stronger proof, and the degree of danger..."

She paused at this point, even if she didn't say what happened next, I would know that even though she encountered many dangers along the way, these dangers are really not worth mentioning compared to the discovery of Cancong's tomb.

I squeezed between my brows: "Now there are two possibilities, one is that there is no Cancong tomb here at all, and the other is... there is a more terrifying existence in the tomb!"

This is a truth that all tomb robbers understand. Generally, the higher the level of danger encountered on the road, the more relaxed the inside of the tomb, and if the level of danger encountered on the road is low, then the inside of the tomb may be extremely dangerous!

Of course, this is not an iron rule. It can only be said that most tombs follow this rule, and it can be regarded as a kind of hermit in the city.Sometimes there may be a large tomb in a seemingly inconspicuous place, and you can enter it without any effort, but whether you can come out is another matter.

"The traces along the way can't be fake. The sun god bird alone is enough to show that even if there is no Cancong tomb here, there must be the existence of the ancient Shu Kingdom. Then..." I glanced at everyone: "We will go to the next step." I'm afraid the road will be even more difficult!"

Except for Yazai, no one else took it seriously.I patted my head, thinking that they were all experienced in many battles, I couldn't help but feel that I was making too much fuss, I am afraid that I am the most tender among these people.

"Let's go. I wish it would be more difficult. This proves that we have found the right place." Lao Yan put his backpack on his back and said with some expectation.
