Ye Congwen looked back at Yu Yueyue, who had her eyes closed tightly, and couldn't help but think proudly:
No one can know the secret place of my treasure! Just give you two circles and you will lose your way. There are many rivers and criss-crossing roads in this secret land. I, a native, still occasionally get lost, let alone a housebound girl like her.
What's more, in order to confuse her perception, I deliberately went around a few more tidal flats with fast currents. Unexpectedly, the woman was so frightened that she closed her eyes and saved a lot of thought.
"Yu Meiren, why are you closing your eyes? It would be a shame not to see the beautiful scenery?"
Ye Congwen reminded her carelessly, and by the way, he tried to test whether she might be pretending to be stupid and deliberately driving the boat rickety.
"I don't want to see it. Just row your boat and don't be distracted by talking to me!"
Yu Yueyue saw that Ye Congwen was still thinking about joking. He was really not afraid of boiling water! I accidentally capsized the boat. With such a strong current, I'm afraid both of them would die.
"Oh." Ye Congwen glanced at the pale Yu Yueyue, bit his teeth lightly, closed his pink lips tightly, and occasionally squinted his eyes and quickly closed them again. He held the rope on his chest tightly with both hands. He was obviously extremely frightened, but he was just too stubborn to speak out.
After about half an hour, the wooden boat gradually sailed into the gentle river, surrounded by birds and flowers, and a quiet and peaceful atmosphere appeared in front of them.
Yu Yueyue opened her eyes boldly, looked at the environment carefully, and asked timidly:
"Are we at the treasure place?"
"Well, it's almost time. There's still two hours at most."
Two hours is too soon? With the speed you are running at, you may have to cover dozens of miles of waterway. I looked up at the sky and saw that the sun was already slanting in the sky. It was probably eight o'clock. So this guy has been rowing for at least three hours, and the heat is rising from his body, which shows the great physical exertion. He said a little reluctantly:
"You've been rowing for three hours. Why don't you take a rest and start again later. Unfortunately, I don't know how to row. Otherwise, I could help you."
"It's a gentle road now. It doesn't take much effort to paddle. If you want to learn, I can teach you. You can learn it in an hour."
"Really? Then I'll give it a try!"
Yu Yueyue was obviously very interested, but it was human nature to sit stupidly at the stern of the boat for three or four hours without wanting to move.
Ye Congwen stopped paddling and waited quietly for Yu Yueyue to come forward and learn to row.
While teaching her the rowing posture, he taught her some key tips and tricks. With Ye Congwen, a master balancing the boat behind, Yu Yueyue learned it very quickly.
Only half an hour later, Yu Yueyue was able to set sail alone, but the speed was not very fast. However, the water surface was very wide at this time. Yu Yueyue carefully controlled the direction of the wooden boat and drove smoothly. However, she was too nervous and her back leaked. The sweat has soaked the clothes.
Fortunately, she wore a tight-fitting outfit today, with black clothes, black pants, and a black ponytail. She looked heroic.
Seeing Yu Yueyue having a great time playing with great interest, Ye Congwen really didn't want to spoil people's enjoyment, so he let Yu Yueyue paddle for half an hour before he grabbed the oars and ran towards the destination at full speed.
It wasn't until around ten o'clock that the two of them arrived at the Baoshan where Ye Congwen visited last time. Yu Yueyue saw the beautiful peaks surrounded by water from afar. She vaguely felt that this mountain was extraordinary. It must be at least two thousand meters high. It would take no less than ten miles to run around it. , I’m afraid it will be difficult to gain anything today.
However, this guy Ye Congwen has firm eyes, full of confidence, and is obviously very sure. Let's see what is unique about his family's ancestral secrets...
Ye Congwen tied up the cable of the wooden boat and checked it several times before walking up the mountain. While thinking hard about how to deal with it:
If you want to get a place as an apprentice of the Demon Hunting Guard in the Yu Mansion, you have to come up with a method that impresses Yu Yueyue——Yes, it just so happens that the old patriarch is imparting his knowledge of Feng Shui in the past few days! I didn't understand all the nonsense, so I just used it to fool Yu Yueyue.
Ye Congwen handed the basket of tools to Yu Yueyue to carry on his back. He held a compass like a Feng Shui master and muttered:
"The sky and the earth are infinite, the universe borrows the law, surrounds the yin and embraces the yang, the tiger sits on the dragon's plate..."
The more Yu Yueyue listened, the more unreliable it became. Is this treasure hunting or digging a grave for someone, a compass and a sutra reciter?
However, seeing that Ye Congwen was extremely focused, he didn't want to disturb him, so he had to wait quietly behind him with a backpack on his back.
After about three minutes, Ye Congwen put away the compass. He waved his hands and walked towards the forest that was marked last time, while giving instructions:
"Follow me closely, don't get lost, there are poisonous snakes in this forest."
Hearing the poisonous snake, Yu Yueyue was a little scared for no reason. She followed closely and asked in a low voice:
"What you were blabbering about just now sounds like Feng Shui."
"Yo! You cover a wide range of topics! You can hear all this.
However, I advise you not to try to inquire about the secret knowledge of my Ye Clan. The rules of the Ye Clan stipulate that inheritance is passed down from male to female. Unless you become a member of our Ye Clan, no matter who you are or how prominent your family background is, even if you escape to the ends of the world, we will They will also send out top experts to kill people and silence them. "
"It sounds like it's true, why don't you dig up some elixir and show it to me?
Do you think I'm stupid for trying to dig out the elixir with just a compass and a bamboo board? "
Yu Yueyue couldn't help but retort when she saw Ye Congwen's habit of speaking without restraint.
"Wrong! What do you, a layman, know? The compass is used to determine the direction. Whether there is any elixir in the soil depends on the fortune teller.
But it’s just me who’s stupid. Why am I telling you so clearly to an outsider? Gods and Buddhas bless you, ancestors, don’t be offended. I almost got tricked by this woman! "
Ye Congwen ran up the mountain as fast as he could. Yu Yueyue was so angry that she rolled her eyes. This guy was obviously talking nonsense. He ran away if he couldn't continue, so he could only crawl up behind him.
After climbing for about 20 to 30 minutes, the two came to a dark place. A giant tree hundreds of meters high stood in the sky, with lush branches and endless leaves, blocking out all the sunlight. It was already noon, and the sun was blazing in the sky, but not a ray of sunlight penetrated through. It was so dark that it was as if you couldn't see your fingers.
Yu Yueyue was not as nimble as Ye Congwen, not to mention that she was carrying a backpack, so she hurried in and followed her. After taking a few steps, she suddenly realized that something was wrong. The sun was shining brightly one second, and she fell into the ground the next. Like a cave.
Not only was it completely dark and nothing could be seen, but even the temperature was much lower. There were gusts of wind inside, which combined with Ye Congwen's weird behavior before, made him suddenly break out in a cold sweat.
"Ye Congwen! Where are you?"
"It's so dark inside that I can't see you!"
"Stop teasing me, otherwise I'll fall out with you!"
Yu Yueyue walked away while talking, but no one answered. My heart skipped a beat and I wanted to go back. Unexpectedly, it was dark in front and dim in the back. I lost my way for a while and didn't know what to do.
"Take out the luminous pearl from my bag."
Ye Congwen's voice sounded probably less than ten meters away from him.
"Thank God for the blessings of gods and Buddhas. Don't be offended, ancestors. This guy is still around!"
Yu Yueyue consoled herself in her heart. Hearing the voice, my anxious heart finally calmed down.
Following Ye Congwen's instructions, Yu Yueyue rummaged in the backpack for a long time and finally found a small wooden box. When she opened the box, a faint blue light slowly emerged. Through the blue light, Yu Yueyue secretly observed the scene in the woods.
It was empty and flat, with nothing but a thick layer of fallen leaves on the ground, not even weeds.
Suddenly his eyes turned to a face, looking at him quietly, with cold eyes and white teeth. Yu Yueyue was so frightened that she screamed, threw away the night pearl and wanted to run out.
"What's the ghost's name? It takes you a long time to find a luminous pearl!"
Ye Congwen grabbed Yu Yueyue's hand and cursed angrily.
Yu Yueyue heard the voice and recognized the person, knowing that it was Ye Congwen standing next to her. This time, she no longer cared about the image. She hugged Ye Congwen's arm and wanted to get her head into it, while patting Ye Congwen's The chest begged for mercy:
"Stop teasing me, okay? I'll do whatever you say from now on, okay? I'm almost scared out of my mind by you!"
Ye Congwen was confused. He didn't know where he had offended her, but this was not the time to play around with her.
It had only been a day since I came here, but this giant tree suddenly sprouted green leaves overnight, blocking out all the sunlight. Even the markings I made last time were nowhere to be found?
It can be described as extremely weird! Is there really a monster haunting me?
I took a look at the surrounding area with the luminous pearl, and found that it was all covered with thick fallen leaves. Could it be that this strange tree lost all its dead leaves overnight and became covered with green leaves?
Fortunately, he always brought the Luminous Pearl with him, mainly because some elixirs grew too deep and often had to dig holes to investigate, so Ye Congwen deceived the luminous pearl he often played with from the old patriarch, so that he could stay up late at night to read the funeral. Sutra’s reasons. Otherwise, I'm afraid today will be in vain.
"You hold the Night Pearl for me, and I'll use the hoe to explore the situation."
Yu Yueyue had calmed down at this time. With Ye Congwen standing in front of him alive, and the sun hanging high in the sky, there shouldn't be anything weird or ghostly happening. However, for the sake of safety, she still followed him. Relatively safe.
Ye Congwen picked up a small hoe and dug up the thick fallen leaves on the ground. He dug out the soil with force, picked up a piece of soil and brought it to Ye Mingzhu. He took a closer look and saw that it was still yellow, white and black soil.
"The location is right, why has it changed so much!"
Yu Yueyue saw Ye Congwen's strange question and asked the reason in confusion.
"When I came yesterday, this big tree had withered yellow leaves, but all of them turned into green leaves overnight. Do you think it's strange?"
"You couldn't have mistaken the place. The peaks here all look very similar. They all look exactly the same to me."
Ye Congwen didn't make any answer. He reached out and pulled out a branch with a red thread among the fallen leaves in front of him. He gave it to Yu Yueyue and asked her to look at it carefully while whispering:
"I wrapped the red rope on this branch yesterday. It was around two o'clock in the afternoon. At that time, it was as bright as day and could be seen everywhere."
