We were probably talking along the way, so we reached the other side of the mountain without even realizing it.
"Professor Li, you see this area is larger than the top of the mountain, but it is now covered by trees and weeds, and we cannot go deep to look for suspicious clues."
Mo Lin pointed forward and said, the terrain here is gentler, almost like the steps it once was. Looking up from a height, there is a huge lake near the foot of the mountain, and beyond that are patches of farmland, with private houses standing between the farmland.
"Mo Lin, you and Master Jingchi stay here. I'll go down and take a look. Give me the stick in your hand."
"Professor Li, I'll accompany you. It's not spring yet, and there won't be any venomous insects or snakes on the mountain for the time being. But if you accidentally fall, you'll be easily bruised. We can go there together to take care of you."
"No need, Master Jingchi needs your care here. I'll be back as soon as I go. It won't take more than twenty minutes."
"Professor Li, then be careful."
Li Mo nodded, took the stick in his hand and walked downhill. Although there is a forest of trees, the trees here are not strong enough, and the cold winter has just passed, and the ground is covered with dead branches and leaves. Stepping on it, the whole person seemed to sink slightly downward.
The main reason why Li Mo didn't let Mo Lin follow was because he didn't want him to be confused. As long as he scans the strange children, if he really finds something, he can also tell others that he has found a clue. As for what the clue is, no one knows, so I can't just say it casually.
After he went more than thirty meters into the forest, the strange boy began to explore, covering a hundred meters of ground under observation. After looking around for a week, something strange appeared on his face. There was indeed nothing on the ground that looked like the remnants of ancient buildings.
】
Are you looking in the wrong direction?
Li Mo Yitong was exploring underground this time. There was a layer of soil on the surface that was easy to penetrate, but after more than two meters there was a layer of stone, which was more difficult to penetrate with his eyes.
He walked aimlessly and casually, and after about ten minutes, he stopped. The strange boy penetrated his sight and suddenly entered a hole. In the darkness, a yellow halo suddenly rose into the sky and turned into countless circles of light.
The illusion I saw before appeared again, the sound of Buddha sounded, and there was a faint golden Bodhisattva sitting in the void. Li Mo's originally excited heart suddenly calmed down. He looked around the cave with his clairvoyant eyes, and more bright haloes rose, all proving that there were many Buddhist treasures in the underground cave.
It's a pity that his strange child was blocked by the light, making it difficult to see clearly what shape the ancient object was.
He had encountered the yellow halo once before, and guessed it was from the dynasties before the Sui and Tang Dynasties. After the Han Dynasty, China once again experienced chaos and dispersion, from the Three Kingdoms period, the Jin Dynasty, the Sixteenth Kingdom period, until the Northern and Southern Dynasties period before the Sui and Tang Dynasties.
What kind of Buddhist treasures are in the underground caves can only be known by digging them out.
Li Mo withdrew his clairvoyant gaze and looked at his surroundings again, already feeling confident. It's just that it's very difficult to bring the underground Buddhist treasures back to light. First, all the trees here must be eradicated. This will not take a day or two.
Moreover, such a costly action will inevitably arouse confusion and resentment among many villagers. This matter needs to be carefully considered before going back.
Mo Lin and Master Jingchi breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Li Mo finally returning. He said it would be over in twenty minutes, but it was actually more than half an hour, almost forty minutes.
"Professor Li, let me give you a hand."
Mo Lin pulled Li Mo up from the slope and carefully patted the dirt on his body from the leaves.
"Thanks."
Master Jingchi looked at Li Mo calmly: "Donor Li, have you discovered anything?"
"I went down to check for a week and indeed found something. However, to confirm my suspicion, I am afraid that all the trees below need to be cut down. This matter cannot be rushed. I will think about it before talking about it."
"Amitabha, good, good!"
Master Jingchi clasped his hands together again and bowed three times to the flat ground below.
It was past twelve o'clock when the three of them returned to the foot of the mountain.
"Boss, Uncle Mo's family has already prepared meals and set up three tables at home. He called the town's family banquet master to come over. I gave the money, but Uncle Mo insisted on not taking it. He also asked me if I looked down on him, so I..."
The brown bear said a little embarrassed.
"It's okay, I know what's going on."
"Also, there are a few responsible people coming to town."
"You didn't ask, what are they doing here?"
The brown bear shook his head: "I asked, but they were vague. They probably came here specifically for you. Professor Liu is chatting with them. I will come over and wait for you to come down the mountain."
Uncle Mo came over on his bicycle. He was a Jing Chi master who brought fast food.
"Donor Li, I'm waiting for news from you."
"Okay, I won't leave just yet."
When Li Mo returned to Uncle Mo's house, he thought that his master was exploring the background of the people in charge in the town. Unexpectedly, when he arrived at the door, he saw Jiang Tianzhuo surrounded by several strangers. Each of them had a look on their face. The fawning smile said something.
"Professor Li, you are back."
When Qiao Yin saw Li Mo, he immediately stood up and shouted. The five people who were talking to Jiang Tianzhuo immediately turned their heads and looked over. One of them walked quickly to him, stretched out his hand from a distance and said, "Professor Li, welcome."
Maybe it was Mo Lin's words before that made Li Mo hate the person in charge of the town, so he subconsciously turned aside and stared at him with a slight frown.
The brown bear's eyes were sharp, and he immediately blocked the way and said with a cold face: "Back off."
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became weird. The person in charge of the town was also a parent official, and he also had great prestige in the local area. But in front of people like Li Mo, they are nothing.
"Sorry everyone, our boss is hungry and waiting for dinner. If you have nothing important to do, please go back first."
The brown bear not only refused to give them face, but also directly wanted to drive them away. As soon as he said this, more than ten people stood up with a roar, and their sharp eyes locked on them.
The five people in the town were dumbfounded, and then their faces turned blue and white.
"Then we won't disturb Professor Li. Let's go first."
The five people walked away in disgrace.
"Bah, a bunch of guys occupying the latrine and not taking a shit."
Mo Lin spat and cursed at their backs.
"Xiao Mo, after all, they are the people in charge of the place. I'm afraid it's not good for you to be so disrespectful."
Yanagawa Kei asked him to sit down quickly. He just said it casually without any intention of blaming him.
"Professor Liu, even if I gave them a thousand courages, they wouldn't dare to trouble Professor Li. You didn't see how much they fawned over Jiang Tianzhuo, and they almost knelt down to lick his shoes."
Qiao Yin smiled and didn't pay attention to those people.
Li Mo then figured out something and looked at Jiang Tianzhuo, who was sitting opposite: "Where does your father work?"
"The third person in charge of Shaanxi."
This Xiao Jiang is really a master without showing his appearance, and his father is actually in a high position.
"How do they know you?"
"The man I wanted to say hello to you just now is from the county. He is an official. He used to be my father's clerk, so I got to know him."
Jiang Tianzhuo made it clear that it was impossible to hide his identity, but he didn't expect it to be exposed so quickly.
"Eat first. I have something to tell you after dinner."
"Did you find anything in the mountains?"
Yanagawa Kei asked curiously.
"Somewhat discovered, but not confirmed."
