Tang Dynasty detective

Chapter 80
The words of the 'ghost image' obviously showed that he knew that Li Canghai was here to hunt for treasure, so he suddenly attacked the killer.

Li Canghai got goosebumps all over his body when he thought of the eerie and haunted buildings buried deep underground.

"Could it be that this treasure is related to the ghost building?" Li Canghai thought to himself.

"Young Master, Young Master?" Seeing him covered in cold sweat, Xue Xuan hastily called out a few times.

"Miss Xue, I want to ask you for help with something." Li Canghai said with a serious face.

"What's the matter, son, but it's okay to say." Xue Xuan said with a smile in her eyes, tenderly.

Li Canghai's eyes rolled around, he glanced around, and suddenly stretched out his right hand and pressed Xue Xuan's chest.

That's right, it's on Xue Xuan's left breast!
Xue Xuan was stunned for an instant. She stayed there for a full cup of tea before her body began to tremble violently.

"Dirty!"

Xue Xuan's pretty face turned red instantly, she was ashamed and annoyed, she raised her hand and slapped Li Canghai's chest, sending him flying several feet away.

Li Canghai only felt that his chest was hit hard by a hammer. He opened his mouth in pain and spat out a piece of blood, and then directly hit the crooked dead tree in front of the ruined temple. He almost passed out from the pain.

Xue Xuan was trembling all over, she looked at Li Canghai's eyes, wishing to tear him to pieces.

"Man, there is no good thing!" Xue Xuan said bitterly, biting her lip.

With tears in her eyes, full of endless disappointment and sorrow, she walked up to Li Canghai step by step, raised her plain hand, and patted him down.

Li Canghai closed his eyes resignedly, and after waiting for a long time, he found that Xue Xuan's palm was not photographed, but stopped in mid-air.

"Don't let me see you again!" Xue Xuan still couldn't get the killer down. She bit her lip, left a cold sentence, and then disappeared around the corner.

"Xue...Miss Xue, misunderstanding, this is all a misunderstanding, please listen to my explanation!" Li Canghai got up and shouted embarrassingly.

"Misunderstanding, it's really a misunderstanding!" Li Canghai drooped his head, shook his right hand vigorously, and breathed out depressedly.

And behind the collapsed earthen house not far from the ruined temple, two pairs of eyes were staring at him.

"This kid is so daring, he even dares to tease the well-known 'Qin Demon' in the world, tsk tsk."

"Hey, who's to say no, but looking at Xue Xuan's figure, it makes people have an irresistible urge!"

"Go, report this matter to the left envoy."

Two men in black hidden in the mist whispered behind the earthen house for a while, and then disappeared.

After the two left, the corners of Li Canghai's mouth suddenly turned up, his eyes shone with restraint, and he showed a strange smile in the direction of the earthen house, and hurried back to the inn.

In the inn, Di Qing had already woken up, but Li Canghai didn't bother to explain to her, so he dragged her and ran outside.

At this time, the sun had not yet risen, and the sky was gloomy. The two quickened their pace and soon arrived at Cuiyun Peak.

Cuiyun Peak is hundreds of feet high, and you can have a panoramic view of the Yiluo River and the Yiluo River.

Most of the people who come to Mang Mountain to view the scenery will choose Cuiyun Peak, and bring a few or five friends, or write poems with pens, or drink and paint, which can be described as giving advice and carefree.

However, few people choose to come to view the scenery in the early morning, so there are no pedestrians on Cuiyun Peak.

When the two climbed to the top of the mountain, thousands of golden lights had already churned in the sea of ​​clouds.

Li Canghai climbed to the highest point, and searched carefully on the top of the mountain, and found a huge boulder with a radius of Zhang Xu on the east side of the mountain.

The boulder stands abruptly on the mountain peak, and a few old sycamore trees grow sparsely around it.

"Found it!" Li Canghai whispered with difficulty concealing his excitement.

Di Qing watched Li Canghai jumping up and down like a monkey from the moment she went up the mountain, and found it very amusing. She asked curiously, "What did you find?"

"The key to solving the mystery of the treasure!" Li Canghai said, counting the time and squinting his eyes.

Di Qing's eyes widened immediately, and she said in surprise, "You said you found a way to solve the mystery of the treasure?"

The clues she knew were basically the same as what Li Canghai knew, but she couldn't figure out the pattern and the meaning of the poems that Di Ying said, but Li Canghai found the solution in such a short period of time. The key to the puzzle, it's just incredible.

Li Canghai took Di Qing to the boulder, and explained to her, "Do you still remember the poems your second brother said?"

"The phoenix sings, at that high hill. The phoenix tree is born, at the rising sun. Mourning at Mangye, hurting his death, fluffing his feathers, and being ordered to grow."

Di Qing nodded. She had been chanting these few words over and over for the past few days, even dreaming about them when she was sleeping, so how could she not remember them.

"But so what?" Di Qing was puzzled.

"I couldn't figure out the meaning of it at first, but when I heard that there are phoenix trees in Cuiyun Peak, I figured everything out." Li Canghai narrowed his eyes and looked at the rolling sea of ​​clouds in the east, paused, and said: "The first four sentences The meaning of the words is to find a high mountain where you can see the morning sun and have sycamore trees at the same time. Only when you find the right place can you crack the key."

Di Qing glanced around. The location of this boulder was indeed in line with what was said in the poem, but there didn't seem to be anything unusual around here, which made Di Qing very puzzled.

"There are only some rocks and dead trees around here. Could it be that this is the key to the puzzle?" Di Qing asked suspiciously, pointing at the surrounding gravel.

Li Canghai stared intently at the sea of ​​clouds in the east. The light of the rising sun penetrated the sea of ​​clouds, reflecting a magnificent scenery like colored glass.

With the surge of the sea of ​​clouds, a round of red sun protruded from the sea of ​​clouds, and in an instant, the golden light shone all over the universe.

"Ah! Canghai, look at the stone!" Di Qing suddenly exclaimed.

Li Canghai looked down, and found that with the sunrise, a huge shadow appeared on the boulder where the two were standing.

The shadow looked very fuzzy, like a big bird soaring with wings spread, and from the shape, it looked very much like the legendary phoenix.

After a stick of incense, the shadow began to change, gradually fading from the bird's tail to the bird's body until it disappeared.

But the bird shadow did not disappear completely, but left a high and a low, encircling wing shadow on the stone surface. This shadow stayed for half a stick of incense before completely disappearing.

"I understand, that's how it is, that's how it is!" Li Canghai looked at the shadow of the wings on the ground, and suddenly figured out everything, and he burst out laughing excitedly.

"What do you understand?" Di Qing was a little puzzled. She looked up just now, and there was no bird flying in the sky. Where did this shadow come from?

Li Canghai couldn't hide his excitement, and explained: "This bird shadow is actually formed by using the patchwork shadows of these sycamore trees and the uneven stone surface. It is not a real bird shadow. The surface of these sycamore trees looks normal. , but under a certain angle of light, shadows will appear, and these shadows will be reflected on the stone surface, complementing the uneven surface of the stone surface, and the bird shadows we see will appear."
