Wu Sangui, the king of Pingxi, built his palace in Kuncheng. If Emperor Kangxi had had different intentions before withdrawing, he thought that one day he would establish himself as king in the south, or he wanted to prevent the Qing Dynasty from settling accounts with him after his fall, so he planned and prepared as early as possible.
But at that time, the Qing Dynasty must have strictly monitored him, so Wu Sangui could only expand his armaments secretly. It makes sense to choose such a deep mountain and old forest to build a military forge. It's just that Li Mo's alien child has a limited transmission distance and cannot clearly see the whole picture in the cave. If he wants to do it, he can only climb the Ghost Mountain.
Nonetheless, this discovery was like a shot in the arm, and this trip was not in vain.
"Brown bear, let's put on protective clothing and prepare to go into the mountains."
Because of my experience, I also prepared three sets of protective clothing this time.
"Xiaojun, use the walkie-talkie to contact other people and ask them to choose a suitable place to camp. The two parties will maintain communication."
"Yes, little uncle."
The three of them put on special protective clothing. Li Mo pulled out a machete and opened a path in front. The thick-backed and sharp machete showed amazing efficiency with the blessing of his strength. The bushes along the way were chopped down one after another. It took the three of them half a day. We successfully climbed the Ghost Mountain in about an hour.
"You all come and take a look."
Li Mo walked to a stone pillar and fiddled with it a few times with a machete to remove the moss on the surface, revealing the skull pattern carved on the bottom. Because the light was not very bright, the three of them felt a little gloomy when they saw the skull pattern.
"The legend of the ghost mountain is true, young master uncle. Then do you think how those poisonous miasmas and the like are formed?"
Chen Xiaojun touched the skull pattern on the stone pillar and asked softly.
Li Mo Yitong looked again and could see everything inside the Zhubingfang cave. This time he looked again and saw boxes of weapons piled deep in the cave. They were basically uniform sabers, and among those piled up There were actually ten boxes in the box containing firearms and long guns, which were the oldest style of shotguns.
Regarding the history of firearms and shotguns, they were obtained from Japanese pirates during the Qi Jiguang period of the Ming Dynasty, and then the court improved them. Such firearms soon became popular among the people, and many landlords and gentry had them equipped to show their powerful force.
In a social environment dominated by cold weapons, the emergence of shotguns has greatly changed the way the army fights. Especially the successful imitation of artillery has also greatly shortened the time to win or lose a tough battle.
The strange boy turned his sight, and deep in the cave he saw piles of corpses. They had all rotted away, and the remaining bones had turned dark gray.
"Let's go up and look for it."
Li Mo continued to climb up the mountain, about thirty meters away. When he looked at it again, it turned out that there was not just one entrance to the cave, but five. Looking at the distribution positions of all the cave entrances, and then feeling the direction of the mountain wind, he had a guess in his mind.
Since it is a military casting workshop, the temperature inside must be very high, but by opening five huge cave entrances, the strong mountain wind will be able to circulate in the cave.
The corpses on the ground were probably the craftsmen of the armory workshop, or they were captured young men.
"Let's go somewhere else."
It is difficult to walk through these primitive mountains. Even if you want to find treasures in the later stage, it will be more difficult than before. The main thing is to clear out all the woods and shrubs in this area. The amount of work is large, and there are many supplies to be transported, and troops will definitely be needed. of assistance.
The three of them drilled for more than 20 minutes, and Li Mo Yitong once again made a new discovery. The entrance to the second cave was almost halfway up the mountain.
There are also many production tools inside, just like hand workshops. Similarly, a large number of corpses and bones were found in the cave, as well as dozens of wooden boxes. Dark gray halos of light were emitted from the wooden boxes, and some even turned into diffuse halos. It can be seen that there are ancient objects in the wooden boxes. Some have high historical value and are very representative.
After continuing to climb for a while, the third cave was discovered. It should be used for daily life. There are many beds and other living facilities in it. Not far away there is a mountain spring flowing down from the top of the mountain. This is a great place for living.
"Uncle Junior, it's getting dark. Why don't you go back the same way and then come back to explore tomorrow? The vegetation here is lush and it's difficult to find clues."
Chen Xiaojun looked up at the sky. The sun was gradually setting in the west, and the light was already insufficient.
"Go forward a few dozen meters and take a look. The environment of this ghost mountain is special. Once there is no sunlight, it becomes eerie. As the temperature drops, miasma in the mountain gradually rises and forms. Although we are not afraid, there is no need to take risks."
The three of them advanced another thirty meters. Li Mo suddenly paused while walking. He finally discovered the ultimate goal of the trip. A cave appeared on the upper side of the mountain, but the cave had collapsed, as if it had been blown up by gunpowder, blocking the long and narrow cave.
The cave was filled with boxes of valuables. What the strange boy saw most were all kinds of gold and silver jewelry, some of which were re-melted and cast into pieces of gold and silver bricks.
Li Mo Yitong continued to explore in depth. After penetrating forty or fifty wooden boxes, haloes of various colors suddenly appeared in front of his eyes. The most recent ones were from the early Qing Dynasty, with most of the treasures from the Ming Dynasty, and treasures from the Tang, Song, and Yuan dynasties. There are quite a few.
Calculating the time, Wu Sangui was transferred to Yun Province in the 16th year of Shunzhi of the Qing Dynasty. At that time, he was secretly operating in the mountains, and he probably had different intentions. After all, the sky is high and the emperor is far away. How can he keep his word when he is someone else's slave? So cool.
】
"Li Xiaoxiao's ancestor was once assigned to assassinate Wu Sangui in Yun Province. It seems that something is wrong now." Li Mo thought about it in his mind and seemed to have figured out something, with a smile on his lips.
There was a huge space behind so many wooden boxes. Li Mo saw that there seemed to be an altar. When he saw the remains of nine giant pythons hovering on the altar, he couldn't help but feel doubtful. What kind of tricks was Wu Sangui doing back then? He actually built an altar deep in the cave and captured nine giant pythons and killed them as blood sacrifices.
When his alien eyes looked towards the middle of the altar, he saw a eucalyptus table placed there. The material was actually made of golden nanmu, and it was inlaid with gold, silver and gems. The most important thing was that the two ends of the table were actually Each carved a wooden dragon with teeth and claws, which is extremely luxurious.
The dragon wither can only be used by the royal family, and it represents the supreme imperial power. This shows how Wu Sangui's self-confidence was inflated after he became the vassal king at that time, and his ambition was obvious.
But this only made Li Mo a hundred times more surprised. When he saw the sword enshrined on the table, his eyes suddenly blurred, and the dark gray world shattered instantly. A giant white dragon descended into the gray world with incomparable sacred golden light, and the whole world was filled with brilliant golden light.
An indescribable pressure came towards him, and the giant white dragon seemed to want to swallow him whole. Li Mo wanted to move his feet and escape, but he couldn't control his body. The huge desire of terror dragged him into the dark hell.
Uh uh uh--
Li Mo's throat made a dull sound of being strangled. At the critical moment of life and death, a supreme divine sword fell from the sky and pierced the golden world. It was like the creation of the world, slashing at the white giant dragon and cutting it into pieces. Two cuts.
The white dragon fell, and the sword became more noble and sacred.
Li Mo sat down on the ground, breathing heavily.
"boss."
"Little uncle."
Brown Bear and Chen Xiaojun quickly stepped forward to help him up.
"Get out of here quickly."
Li Mo said a little weakly.
"Brown Bear, you carry the boss on your back and I'll clear the way."
Chen Xiaojun led the way, while the brown bear followed behind with Li Mo on his back.
Li Mo was really weak at the moment. The vision was too terrifying. The sword enshrined on the altar was unimaginably big. The emperor called himself a dragon, but the sword cut off the dragon. The meaning behind it is unimaginable.
"Boss, how are you?"
"Don't worry, I'm fine. It's not poisoning, it's just that I haven't eaten well these past few days and consumed too much. I'll be fine when I have a good meal outside and replenish my energy."
Listening to Li Mo's voice that sounded like he was about to run out of breath, Chen Xiaojun looked solemn and said anxiously as he led the way: "Uncle Master, please stop talking first. Let's meet up with the others."
Chen Xiaojun has contacted people outside and asked them to wait outside Guishan.
When the three of them hurriedly walked out of the ghost mountain, Wu Sanbing's face turned pale with fright, thinking that something had happened to Li Mo.
"Mr. Li, Mr. Li, what's wrong with you? I told you it's not safe inside and there are dangers everywhere, but you just don't listen. What should I do? The fastest we can get out of the mountains is tomorrow evening."
Sanbing was running around in circles.
Li Mo took off the protective mask on his head, looked at Wu San Bing with an equally pale face and smiled: "Brother San Bing, I suffered from hypoglycemia and collapsed suddenly. If you have any delicious food on you, give it to me first. Let me take a bite to soothe my stomach."
"Is it okay to have ready-made fruit wine?"
"Can."
Wu Sanbing handed the bottle of fruit wine he was carrying to Li Mo, who took it and drank three sips, then laughed and said: "It tastes good."
"Uncle Junior, eat some high-calorie dry food."
Chen Xiaojun also took out a piece of compressed biscuit from his backpack. Eating one can quickly replenish physical energy.
"Seeing that you are all nervous, I told you it's okay, so we'd better find a place to camp."
The sun still sets completely at one point, and darkness has enveloped the mountains. Fortunately, those who had not entered the mountain had already set up a camp outside, with bonfires lit and some food prepared.
Li Mo arrived at the camp and had a quick bite before crawling into the tent and falling asleep.
"Mr. Chen, will Mr. Li be okay?"
Wu Sanbing asked worriedly while holding a bowl of noodle soup.
Chen Xiaojun looked at it carefully, and then motioned for everyone to keep their voices down: "It's okay, my junior uncle will never joke about this. Come on, you guys are keeping vigil around in shifts, mainly to pay attention to the approach of bonfires and wild beasts in the mountains."
"yes."
The seven security guards were immediately grouped into groups to be on guard. If you don’t say it at this time, how long should you wait? As long as the task is successfully completed, you will be qualified when you return, and the bonus will not be small. This is a clear rule in Safe Shield Company. No matter how long you have been in the company, only when you go out to work with your boss, it means that your personal strength is recognized. This is called gold plating.
When he woke up, Li Mo was full of energy.
"Mr. Li, you are finally awake."
Li Mo washed his face with water and said with a smile: "The air in this mountain is good, the environment is good, and sleeping is sweet. Brother San Bing, let's pack up and prepare to return the way we came."
"Okay, Mr. Li, I heard what Mr. Chen said last night. Although I didn't find any useful clues this time, I went into the mountain and saw the carved skulls with my own eyes. Now I believe in the legend of the ghost mountain. ?”
Li Mo took a bottle of water from the brown bear and drank it in one breath, and then said: "It is indeed very oozing. That was what I saw when I went in during the day. If it was at night, I used a flashlight to illuminate the scene. It's called very penetrating, and the faint of heart will definitely be scared to death."
"As long as everyone is in peace, then we will leave the mountain and return to Xiaowu Village."
It is difficult to enter the mountain, as you need to find the way all the way, but it is much easier to return. A group of people walked and walked, and finally walked out of the mountains in the last ten minutes as the sun set. Everyone looked exhausted and smelled bad.
After all, the smell of medicinal powder is pungent, and when mixed with the sweat along the way, the smell is sour.
"Little uncle."
Chen Xiaoyan quickly ran to his side to support him, then her nose twitched, she covered her mouth and ran away again, which was even faster.
"Uncle Master, what kind of disaster did you encounter when you entered the mountain? Why do you smell so weird all over your body?"
Good girl, I didn’t directly say it smelled bad, but described it as weird.
Li Mo glared at her curiously: "Why don't you go get more clean water? I want to take a shower first."
"Oh, I'll do it right away."
When Chen Xiaoyan ran away, Li Mo smelled his clothes and almost vomited. Mud, I can hardly stand it. It's pungent and a bit fishy. It was really difficult for that girl just now.
The full moon was in the sky and the stars were hanging high. Li Mo was lying on an old wicker chair in Wu Sanbing's house. He sat at the door and looked up at the vast starry sky. He felt how small he was for a moment.
"Mr. Li, are you still not sleepy?"
Wu Sanbing brought a bowl of fruit wine: "After one bowl of our fruit wine, you will sleep well."
"I slept so soundly last night, could it have something to do with the fruit wine you brewed?"
"Haha, I don't dare to brag, but it has helped me sleep a little bit. How about another bowl?"
Li Mo waved his hand. They were used to drinking it and could drink it as water, but he couldn't.
Chen Xiaojun came over at this time, took out a thick envelope from his pocket and stuffed it into Wu Sanbing's hand and whispered: "Brother Sanbing, this is the reward my junior uncle gave you, totaling 30,000. Don't refuse. , and don’t make it public, lest others hear any jealous thoughts.”
"This is too much. I can't accept it. I absolutely cannot accept it."
How dare Wu Sanbing accept it? Thirty thousand is a lot. He only led the team into the mountains for three days, and he didn't think about any reward at all.
