Six Ways of Fumo

Chapter 402 Guide Wu Jie
"It used to be called Si Tomb Town. Everyone calls it that. I don't know the origin. If you want to know, ask the local old man after you get off the car." The driver turned the steering wheel and replied absentmindedly.

Li Qingdong rolled his eyes at the driver in the back seat and remained speechless.

Si Tomb Town and Si Tomb Mountain, as the name suggests, there should be four famous large tombs.I originally wanted to ask about it, but the driver didn't know anything about it, so I had to give up and wait until I got off the bus to ask.

In about an hour, the driver drove Ding Ermiao and others to Si Tomb Town.

When I got off the car, I saw that this town was actually very prosperous, with two straight streets crisscrossing each other. Although it was afternoon, there were many pedestrians on the streets.

In the open area, looking south, you can see the towering green mountains, lush and green, towering into the clouds.

"What should we do now?" Gu Qinglan asked Li Qingdong, dragging the suitcase.

Under the current situation, I didn't dare to ask Ding Ermiao and Wu Zhanzhan for their ideas. Their condition was not suitable.

Li Qingdong pushed up the reading glasses on the bridge of his nose, looked around, and said: "Find a place to stay first, and then make plans."

Because we still need to calculate the specific location, we must have a quiet place. We can't just squat on the street and click on the abacus, right?

There is a hotel in the town to provide accommodation, and the four of them found a hotel at the southernmost end of Cross Street.After entering the room to rest for a while, Li Qingdong took out the celestial disk and continued to calculate.

"Why is it that the closer I get to my destination, the harder it is for my celestial disk to work?"

After counting for three hours, Li Qingdong raised his head and said with an irritated look: "Look, these abacus beads are not very obedient now. They are not as handy as before."

Wu Zhanzhan was extremely irritated and frowned angrily: "If it slips at a critical moment, I think this secret disk will be smashed!"

"Junior sister, the Tianji Disk cannot be used here, which further shows that there is something strange here. Don't be too anxious, don't lose your temper. Let's calm down and search slowly, and we will definitely find out."

Gu Qinglan also helped to deal with it, saying: "Er Miao's words make sense, Zhan Zhan, relax."

Wu Zhanzhan took a few steps, then turned back and asked Li Qingdong: "What direction is it roughly, have you calculated it?"

Li Qingdong shook his head and said: "When we arrived at Si Tomb Town, my heavenly disk had almost no effect at all, and I couldn't calculate anything. The general location...according to the calculation in the county seat, it should be in the mountains in the south."

"Well, I'll go into the mountains to look for it!" Wu Zhanzhan picked up his shoulder bag and was about to set off.

"Junior sister!" Ding Ermiao stopped Wu Zhanzhan and said, "Let's talk about it, let's go together."

Seeing that everyone tried to dissuade him, Wu Zhanzhan had no choice but to give up, threw his backpack back on the bed, and looked at Li Qingdong angrily.

Li Qingdong sighed and waved: "Let's go find a car and go to Si Tomb Mountain to have a look. Just take it one step at a time. The secret disk cannot be used, and I have no idea."

So, a few people checked out of the hotel, had a simple lunch in the town, found a van, and wandered to the foot of Si Tomb Mountain.

With no way to enter the mountain, the driver left Ding Ermiao and others at the foot of the northern foot of Si Tomb Mountain and turned around.The four of them stood on the desolate mountain roadside, looking at the cloud-covered and fog-shrouded mountains in front of them, and they had no idea.

Going into the mountains to look for the bodies of Qiu Sanqian and Long Shuanghuo like this is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Li Qingdong took out the secret disk again and squatted on the roadside to calculate.

But the miracle didn't happen, and the Tianji Disk still couldn't be used.In fact, every time the abacus beads are moved, it takes a lot of effort.

Gu Qinglan took out her GPS locator, looked at it for a long time and said, "The magnetic field here is weird, and my locator seems to have been interfered with..."

Li Qingdong raised his head, slapped himself, and said: "No wonder my heavenly disk cannot be used. It must be related to the magnetic field here. The handwriting of the founder Lin Fengjiao said that the heavenly disk is made of meteorites. Maybe there is something underground here Meteorite mines, or other things, interfere with my heavenly disk!"

Ding Ermiao glared at Li Qingdong, and said: "There will be meteorite mines underground? Even if there are, they won't form mines. I think you won't even be able to eat or sleep if you leave the Tianji Disk."

After that, Ding Ermiao looked at his compass, but it was not affected and everything was normal.

Everyone climbed a few steps higher, looked around, and saw what seemed to be a village not far to the east.

"Go to the village over there first, and inquire about the situation in the mountain and the history here." Gu Qinglan pointed and said: "Then, it's best to find a guide and take us into the mountain together."

Wu Zhanzhan was anxious and said: "I think it's better to go directly into the mountain and search as we go. I'll just stay on the mountain for a while at night and find a place to rest, and then continue the search tomorrow. If I can't find Master's body, I won't go out."

Ding Ermiao shook his head and said: "Junior sister, when you came from Shangsi County, you said you would listen to everyone's arrangements. Now I don't agree with blindly entering the mountains. I'd better listen to Sister Lan and ask about the history here first. Maybe we’ll find some clues.”

It was hard to go against the will of the people, so Wu Zhanzhan had no choice but to compromise and take the lead towards the village to the east.Ding Ermiao took Gu Qinglan's suitcase and put it on his shoulder, beckoning everyone to go together.

The mountain road was difficult to walk, and the seemingly short distance actually took half an hour.

After entering the village, standing at the end of the village and looking around, you can feel the depression in the village.Because today happens to be Sunday, but there are no children playing in the village.

Presumably, like all villages, the young and middle-aged people have gone out to work, leaving nine out of ten houses empty.

I walked through several doors without success.Either the door is locked and no one is there, or there is a language barrier and communication is impossible.

In the southwest border area, various ethnic groups live together, and the dialects of the Dai and Jingpo people are incomprehensible at all.

When we walked to the east of the village, we finally met a Han family.

The head of the household is Wu Jie, a hunter, a man in his 30s, with dark skin and a strong build.There is a couple at home with two children, a boy and a girl.

After Li Qingdong said a few words, Wu Jie politely invited Ding Ermiao and others into the room.

Li Qingdong said that he was a professor of archeology, and he brought three students to the mountains for archeology. He said that there was a major topic in the mountains, a national key topic, that needed to be studied.This guy wore glasses and had a long beard. He said he was a professor, but Wu Jie believed him.

"Brother Wu, my surname is also Wu, and my name is Wu Zhanzhan. We were a family 500 years ago." Wu Zhanzhan got straight to the point, took out 5000 yuan in cash, put it on the Eight Immortals table at Wu Jie's house, and said:

"We have to go into the mountains to investigate some things, and we need a guide. If the eldest brother is willing to help, the 5000 yuan is regarded as a deposit. After we leave the mountain, I will give you another [-] yuan. I hope that the eldest brother can help."

Seeing Wu Zhanzhan being so wealthy, Wu Jie was surprised and a little at a loss. He said, "Sister, I'll take you into the mountains. It's okay, but you have to see where you go. There are some places you can't go in this mountain."
