The route we took this time was quite tortuous. If we wanted to leave here, we had to go back along the original path to the place where the river first branched off.
Fortunately, we were familiar with this section of the journey, so we simply gave up on the ground and went directly to the waterway.
We climbed onto the raft that was originally parked by the river. For safety reasons, we connected the two rafts together to make one large raft.
Liu Han and Sun Cheng acted as boatmen. They waved the boat poles left and right, and successfully rowed the raft back to its original place.
Just in case, I took the purple money and recalculated the position, and the result was that the position of another formation eye was exactly opposite the cave of Chang'e's Colorful Python, just like two dragon heads surrounded by a circular Separated by hills.
After determining the direction, we spent another night repairing where the river bifurcated, and set foot on the other river the next morning.
At first, the two rivers were very close to each other, and even the trees on both sides seemed to be exactly the same. After wandering on it for a long time, I feel like I am still back to yesterday.
After walking for more than an hour, I discovered a different place. This river has a particularly large amount of water. The river is nearly twice as wide as the one on the left, and the raft is very stable on it.
In this case, there was no need to walk from the shore. We just sat on the raft and floated down the current.
There are more and more mountains on both sides. Because of the abundant water vapor, the trees and grass on the shore are extremely lush. The sun shines on the river, reflecting colorful rays from time to time, and small fish occasionally flip up and jump out.
The raft felt like walking in a thick landscape painting. I felt more and more relaxed and started to laugh more.
How could some people pass up such a good opportunity to brag?
The first person to jump out was Hua Monk Hong Gang. At that time, there were not many people who went to deal with Chang'e's beautiful python and demon rabbit, and even fewer followed throughout the process.
Lan Yue, Hong Gang and I are the only three people who understand the situation from beginning to end.
Lan Yue has always had a cold personality. I have long been used to this kind of exorcism and am too lazy to show off to others.
After I came back, I just briefly explained the process to everyone, and then started digging for treasures, collecting corpses, and stewing ginseng...
The details of fighting against the beautiful python and the demon rabbit were never explained to the other team members.
These team members have been itching in their hearts. Taking advantage of their relaxed mood, they all coaxed me to explain it to them.
I was observing the surrounding terrain with Liu Han, and this task was directly assigned to Hong Gang.
This made Hong Gang extremely happy. He had long wanted to raise his own status. Killing monsters with his own hands would be such a face-saving thing! He can also take the opportunity to make his presence felt in front of Ellie.
After following Du Jun for a few days, this guy had completely lost the aura of more than ten years of practice and turned into a wretched and lustful mortal.
"Amitabha! Brothers and sisters, two respected teachers.
"Let me tell you about the feat that Xiaodao and I did two days ago to eliminate demons..."
Hong Gang clasped his hands together, showing a compassionate look.
"I remember that the five of us braved the risk of being crushed into bones by monsters and resolutely embarked on the road to eliminate monsters and defend the road.
"I, Hong Gang, am the direct descendant of the majestic Dalun Temple in Sichuan. I play the role of a vanguard without hesitation. In order to paralyze my opponents, I specially put on the black skin of a dog spirit..."
After Hong Gang said a few words, he began to pose.
He stood in front of the raft, holding his head high and trying to look tragic, but his vulgar expression betrayed him. He looked like a big fat pig roaring in the wind.
However, although his image is not very good, this guy's shameless demeanor of talking nonsense and putting gold on his face already has a bit of Du Jun's charm.
The queen, who has thick lips and is quite smart, told the story in a very ups and downs, and everyone was really attracted to it.
Peter was immediately dissatisfied with the fact that he was in the limelight here.
Peter was calm at first, but as he listened, he began to feel unbalanced.
Why is this guy Hong Gang just bragging about himself, and me?
It wasn't me who climbed up the tree and deceived the beautiful python. How could you have had the chance to kill her twice?
The more Peter looked at Hong Gang, the angrier he became. Just when Hong Gang was speaking the hardest, Peter suddenly said something.
"Teacher, brothers, don't listen to Hong Gang's bragging? He has been pretending to be dead on the ground, and he just carried out a sneak attack!
"If you want to talk about the real adventure, then you have to talk about me, Peter. I think back then I climbed a tree more than ten meters high and had close contact with a beautiful python with a human head. Don't you know how dangerous I was at that time?
"We are almost face to face with that monster!"
Peter may have thought of the beautiful face of Chang'e, the beautiful python, so he couldn't help but stretched out his hands and grabbed it twice in the air.
As a foreigner, the expressions and movements on his face were very exaggerated, and he winked like a curly monkey. In addition, the movements of his hands were inexplicable, which actually diverted everyone's attention here.
"Put it down. I don't know who it is. I was so scared that I wet my pants before climbing up the tree. She also said that she was afraid of heights..."
As soon as Hong Gang saw someone, he picked up his blame. At that time, he raised his voice angrily and spoke Northeastern dialect like Aili.
The two shameless men began to attack each other here. In short, they both said that they were great. It gradually turned into a fight between two old rural women. If no one was there to hold them back, they would definitely roll into the river.
"Hey, hey, stop arguing! Be careful, the current is getting faster and faster, and it seems to be the end ahead!" Liu Han, who had been concentrating on punting the boat, turned around and shouted.
The two living treasures, Hong Gang and Peter, hurriedly stopped fighting and looked up.
At this time, the light began to dim, the river turned around and entered a canyon, and the water flow began to speed up.
"Quickly, everyone sit down and be careful!" Sun Cheng directed them from the side.
After everyone was busy for a while, everyone except me and Liu Han were already sitting on the raft.
Liu Han and I also had solemn expressions. Now the topography of the shore and surrounding areas has begun to match the markings on the treasure book.
If nothing else, the river should lead us to the cave of fake treasure.
I observed the surroundings carefully. The peaks on both sides were steep, and water was constantly flowing down from the surrounding mountains. It was impossible to walk ashore.
This also confirms what Wang Banxian told me at the beginning, that it was a valley that was washed into by the current when he and his grandfather were treasure hunting.
Bang, with the roar of water hitting the rocks, our raft rushed into a circular valley.
This is a basin-shaped terrain similar to the Menggui Valley, with a lush forest in the middle. Mountains and forests crisscrossed by waterways...
But the scenery inside is very rare.
The big river under our feet has separated into countless small channels, flowing forward in a fan shape. At the entrance of the river are caves of various sizes appearing at the foot of the mountain.
"Look, isn't this the valley on the treasure map?" Du Jun also stood up.
The scene in front of me was too familiar, it was exactly the same as the markings on the treasure map that I had seen countless times.
The river at the foot is still the widest, and its direction is also a black hole, embedded in the foot of the mountain.
"Xiao Dao, what should I do? The water is flowing faster and faster. There is no other way." Liu Han turned around and looked at me anxiously.
"Uncle Liu, try to hold the raft steady. There is no other way. Let's get in first."
I called to the others and asked them to lie down on the raft and hold on. The current was too fast and there was no safe place to stay around.
We had no choice but to enter the cave.
