Chapter 693: Ancient Town in the Mountains
After listening to Ji Changsheng's words, Professor Sun was delighted at first, and then said.
"The first sentence, digging wells and cutting salt, can be understood as mining salt wells, but what does the second sentence, asking ghosts for money, mean?"
Ji Changsheng thought about it and gave an explanation.
In ancient times when the level of science and technology was backward, mining was an extremely dangerous job, and accidents in mines were very common.
Miners who went down the mine could be buried at any time, which was a life-threatening job.
That's why there is the saying "asking ghosts for money".
Professor Sun nodded repeatedly after hearing it.
"This makes sense, it seems we have found the right direction!"
As the code was cracked, people felt more and more hopeful, and the morale of the team became high.
After more than two hours of trekking, the off-road vehicle came to the end of the country road, and there was no way forward.
Everyone had to get off the car, sort out their outdoor equipment, and follow the youngest sister into the vast mountains.
Along the way, I saw birds singing and flowers blooming in the mountains and forests, and the scenery was pleasant, so I didn't feel sleepy.
After walking for half a day, at noon, the team arrived at the foot of a majestic mountain.
The youngest sister pointed upward.
"This is the famous Wangxia Peak, also known as the Goddess Peak."
"There is an ancient plank road on it, which is the only way to Qingxi Town."
There were originally two other ways to Qingxi Town, but the waterway was impassable due to the high water level and the suspension of ships. The other was a country road, which had been abandoned for decades because no one had maintained it.
Only this ancient plank road can reach Qingxi Town.
Wang Kaixuan's face changed when he heard it.
"It's a plank road again! How come there are planks everywhere? Is this thing against me?"
Although his fear of heights was cured, he still felt a little weak in his heart.
Hu Bayi was about to tease him, and Professor Sun said immediately.
"There are two sentences in the code, 'If the lady doesn't come, the mountains will not open.'"
"Then the mountain-opening lady, is it referring to the Goddess Peak?"
Hu Bayi nodded when he heard it.
"It's possible."
In this way, they are one step closer to the Dixian Village.
Led by the youngest sister, the group walked along the path up the mountain.
Not long after walking, they saw the ancient plank road.
This plank road was built in the pre-Qin period. After thousands of years of wind and rain, it has long been dilapidated. Only some wooden stakes are left on the cliff. Most of the wooden boards and stone slabs originally laid on it have weathered and decayed.
Wang Kaixuan looked down and saw that the mountain stream was surrounded by clouds and mist, and the mountain wind was howling. He didn't know how deep it was. He suddenly felt dizzy and wanted to retreat.
Professor Sun looked at the dilapidated plank road and his face changed.
"How can people walk on this plank road? If you are not careful, you will fall down. Only acrobats can go through it, right?"
The youngest sister took out the rope and smiled.
"City people are delicate. This is nothing. Even if there is no road on the cliff, we mountain people can come and go freely."
After saying that, he threw out the rope and put it on the wooden pile, turning it into a simple cable bridge.
Professor Sun was so scared that he stepped back and waved his hands.
"I have never learned to walk on a tightrope. This is really not possible. Let's find another way."
Even the agile Hu Bayi and Shirley Yang were a little scared.
At this time, Ji Changsheng smiled lightly and waved his right hand in the air.
Skill: Natural force activated!
On the cliff, countless vines suddenly grew, as thick as a person's arm.
The vines coiled around the wooden piles, intertwined with each other, and quickly formed a stable suspension bridge!
"Let's go."
Ji Changsheng stepped onto the green bridge. The tomb-raiding trio was used to this method and was not surprised at all. They followed closely.
Lin Shuangyue saw it for the first time and couldn't help but be very curious. She chased after him and asked.
"How did you do that?"
Ji Changsheng was about to answer, but when he looked back, he saw that the youngest sister and Professor Sun had been petrified on the spot and turned into two sculptures.
They were just ordinary people, and had never seen such a scene before. They were so scared that they couldn't speak for a long time.
Professor Sun wiped his cold sweat, his face full of shock.
"What...what's going on?!"
After being shocked, the youngest sister knelt on the ground and kowtowed several times.
"It's the mountain god who showed up! Thank you for your blessing!"
Ji Changsheng didn't explain, and let them guess randomly.
"Okay, let's go quickly and try to get to Qingxi Town before dark."
Professor Sun naturally didn't believe in any mountain god, but he couldn't explain this strange phenomenon. With full of doubts, he carefully stepped onto the suspension bridge.
The green bridge is more than two meters wide, and there are guardrails on the side. It's stable to walk on it, and the team's speed has increased a lot.
After walking for more than an hour, the youngest sister suddenly stretched out her hand and pointed to the distance.
"We're here. That's Qingxi Town!"
Everyone looked in the direction they were pointed to. They saw a ruined town on the hillside in the distance.
The town was not small. There were 20,000 to 30,000 people living here. There were thousands of houses of different heights left. However, most of the houses have collapsed or sunk into the ground.
No one has lived here for more than 70 years. There are weeds over a person's height everywhere. Birds and beasts are rampant. It's a desolate place.
Hu Bayi took out the telescope and focused his attention on the surroundings of Qingxi Town.
After looking carefully for a while, he sighed helplessly and shook his head.
"All the surrounding mountains have been destroyed. Tianxing Feng Shui doesn't work here. I can only go to the town to look for any other clues."
Ji Changsheng didn't care, and seemed confident.
"Let's go and have a look before we talk."
Everyone quickly got off the plank road, walked through the forest, and walked for more than two hours, finally arriving at Qingxi Town before nightfall.
A closer look revealed that, as Hu Bayi had said, the town was surrounded by collapsed hollows, the mountain was riddled with holes, and there were mines, tunnels, and air-raid shelters everywhere.
The landscape situation is completely destroyed, and Tianxing Feng Shui cannot play its role here.
Wang Kaixuan couldn't help scratching his head.
"Then what's the next step? I'm just digging around without thinking. Even if I dig till my death, I still can't find Dixian Village."
Ji Changsheng looked up and said.
"It's getting dark. It seems to be raining tonight. Please find a house to take shelter from the rain."
Most of the houses in the town have collapsed, but a few have survived.
When Yaomei heard this, she quickly said.
"I know there is a house that is well kept and very large. It is enough for us to live in."
He said, leading the way.
"That house is the old residence of the Feng family, the largest family in the area. However, the Feng family moved away very early and later it was converted into a health center and school."
The old house of the Feng family!
Upon hearing this, everyone who originally thought there was little hope could not help but their eyes lit up.
There will probably be some useful clues left there!
