I don’t know if Duan Yunyou listened to his words, but he still held a torch to look at the carved murals.
Guardian Zuo Gong Ziting waited impatiently for a while, but when there was no response, he couldn't help but call out, "Gang Leader."
Duan Yunyou finally responded and said softly, "I didn't say that Kirin ginseng could grow here."
"Uh..." Gong Ziting was stunned, even a little unbelievable, and said in surprise: "Gang leader, I couldn't have heard this wrong. You clearly told me that you occupied this place to find Qilin Ginseng."
Duan Yunyou, who was moving the torch to look at the painting, nodded slightly, "That's right."
Gong Ziting's eyes widened. He didn't know what the gang leader meant by his inconsistent words, so he had to remind him again: "Gang leader, this really doesn't look like a place where Kirin ginseng can grow."
Duan Yunyou was silent, and finally raised his chin towards the mural, "There may be clues here. What we dug was not the ginseng, but the carvings in the temple."
Gong Ziting was stunned again, and his eyes finally focused on the carved murals on the wall. However, the traces of the vicissitudes of time on them were too obvious. It was so long that the stone carvings were blurry and it was impossible to see clearly what was said in the murals. What is it.
But he also understood the meaning of the gang leader, and said in confusion: "Gang leader, do you mean that this mural contains clues about Kirin ginseng?"
Duan Yunyou nodded, "Maybe."
Gong Ziting looked suspicious. He felt that the gang leader was not telling the truth and seemed to be hiding something from everyone. He immediately questioned: "Gang Leader, this temple must have been abandoned here for at least thousands of years. Qilin Ginseng has appeared in this world. How long? It’s only about a hundred years old. How can this mural record something from thousands of years ago?”
Duan Yunyou smiled, "There are no absolutes in this world."
Gong Ziting: "The gang leader doesn't mean to say that Kirin ginseng was just discovered late, but it was already alive, right? I feel that no matter how early it is, it will never go anywhere. This kind of spiritual thing that gathers the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, if it has been cultivated for thousands of years, Nian, I have already conquered the world, and I will not run away in fear when meeting someone."
Duan Yunyou turned around, narrowed his eyes slightly, and stared coldly at the protector in front of him.
Gong Ziting felt a little embarrassed by his look, avoided his gaze and lowered his head slightly.
Duan Yunyou stared at this subordinate for a long time, hesitating whether to tell something or not. He didn't want to say it, at least not now, but there were some things that he simply couldn't do by himself and needed the help of these subordinates. See you all later. If there is no benefit, I'm afraid it won't be in vain.
The gangs here in Tianji Mountain are not those gangs in the outside world, unlike the gang leaders in the outside world who can have the final say alone.
He must at least get the support of these backbones in the gang. If even these backbones are passive and slow in their work, then the people below will naturally be even less able to control them.
After much hesitation, Duan Yunyou handed over the torch in his hand.
Gong Ziting was puzzled, but he still took the torch.
Duan Yunyou reached into his clothes and slowly took out an oil paper package. He opened the oil paper and revealed a parchment book. Under the firelight, there was a faint word "Tianji Mountain Map Making Notes" on the cover, because the book was dark in color. , almost confusing the handwriting.
One look at the style of this thing and I knew it must have been from many years ago.
Gong Ziting was puzzled and asked: "Gang leader, what is this?"
Duan Yunyou: "I got this accidentally a few years ago. It was probably the notes left by cartographers sent by a certain force a long time ago during the field survey in order to make a map of Tianji Mountain. As for what year this was I don’t know the record left by He Yue. There is no date or month on it, but this thing should have existed for many years.”
Gong Zitingdun's eyes shone, "Could it be that Qilin Ginseng was recorded?"
Duan Yunyou shook his head, opened the parchment, and turned directly to the record on the middle page. He handed it to him, and let him read it for himself. The meaning was obvious.
Seeing that the gang leader was so trusting, Gong Ziting bowed respectfully and stood behind him. Holding a torch in one hand, he stretched out his other hand to take the book and read its contents carefully against the light of the fire.
After reading this article, it probably means:
On the eleventh day of an unknown year and month, the person who left the note and a person named "Zhuo" walked into the desert and suddenly encountered a strong wind. The wind and sand filled the sky, making it difficult to distinguish the east from the north and the north from the north. The two of them enjoyed it. It's cool, sit back to back, and wait for the wind and sand to stop.
After the howling wind and sand continued for a while, the two suddenly discovered that there seemed to be an abnormal shadow appearing in the desert. So the two got up to look, only to find that it was an abandoned temple, buried tilted in the sand, which should not be visible normally. This time it showed up due to strong winds.
There are stone sculptures of Kirin on the left and right outside the abandoned temple, and the word "Kilin Hall" is also written on the plaque on the gate of the temple.
The two then entered the temple to take shelter from the wind, but they saw the majestic and towering statue of the god as if it was reclining. The four walls of the temple were exquisitely carved, with many bionic pictures of unicorns carved on them, which seemed to record the daily life of unicorns in the fairy world.
The two of them planned to leave when the wind stopped, but it was already dark after the wind stopped, so they planned to spend the night in the temple first.
Unexpectedly, in the middle of the night, it actually started raining in this damn desert, with thunder and lightning, and raindrops dripping in the damaged temple.
What the two of them didn't expect was still behind them. Suddenly, a thunderbolt of bright light hit the temple, causing the temple to buzz.
An astonishing scene also appeared at this time. The hall suddenly burst into hazy light, and a huge and majestic mythical beast appeared in the light, which was Qilin.
The majesty of the divine beast in the glorious blessing is really terrifying. The neck whiskers move automatically without wind. With a glance, the cold aura of being aloof and contemptuous of all living beings scared the two of them to death.
The two of them thought that their lives were at risk, but when the Qilin kicked up its hooves and roared to the sky, as if it was going to fight against the thunder, they realized that something was wrong.
It looks good when roaring towards the sky, and its momentum is amazing, but the roar has no sound.
After calming down, the two people discovered that the sacred beast Qilin was actually standing at an angle, and the angle of inclination was the same as the temple's inclination.
The two suddenly realized that it was an illusion of light and shadow.
The two tried to reach out and touch it, and found that there was indeed nothing in the void. At this moment, the light and shadow dimmed, and the image of the unicorn disappeared together.
Later, the two wanted to find out why such a fantastic scene appeared in this temple. Unexpectedly, they stayed for one more day, because the temple was buried again by the wind and sand. Due to the circumstances, the two had to leave first and prepare. Will explore again later.
The records about the temple seemed to end here. There was no follow-up content. Gong Ziting flipped through it again and found that the following pages were all blank.
He couldn't help but look around and saw the towering statue of a reclining god that matched the records in his notes. However, it was already mottled beyond recognition and lost its majesty. He could only see that it was a standing statue, seemingly holding a hand. Bowl.
There are also sculptures scattered throughout the hall, none of which are exquisite at all, they are all blurred.
In addition, the so-called Qilin Hall plaque in the records has long since disappeared, and the two Qilin stone sculptures outside the hall have also disappeared, both disappearing in the years.
But one thing is for sure, this should be the place mentioned in the note.
He turned over the notes unwillingly, then raised his head and asked, "Is this the end of the notes?"
Duan Yunyou nodded, "It should be."
Gong Ziting looked at the blank pages at the back, and felt that it didn't seem to be a fraud, and he didn't see any signs of being torn off. He was quite surprised and said: "How come the record is missing here? Isn't it necessary to survey the topography of Tianji Mountain? "
Duan Yunyou shook his head, "I have also thought about this matter. I don't know what exactly happened to cause the note to stop. It is difficult for future generations to figure out what happened endless years ago. I am afraid that only the person involved knows best."
After finishing speaking, he reached out to take the note back, wrapped it in oil paper again, and put it in his arms.
Gong Ziting watched eagerly. He actually wanted to see what was recorded in the front of the note, but he was embarrassed to ask for it and it was inconvenient to ask for it. However, he remembered something and said as if he finally understood: "No wonder the gang leader created Feiying After the gang, I like to explore the desert, and it turns out that I want to find this temple."
Duan Yunyou snorted as if he was self-deprecating, "I always thought this temple was still buried under the desert, but I didn't expect it to have been exposed long ago and became the home of the Scorpion Gang. It's such a profound change that cannot be done by human beings, but by God. "
Gong Ziting asked strangely: "Didn't the notes record the route along the way?"
What he meant was that by deducing from the records, it should be easy to locate the general location, and there would be no need to search around randomly like before.
Duan Yunyou: "A hammer in the east and a hammer in the west. There is no route at all. The person who left this note probably just wrote down what he thought should be written down."
Gong Ziting nodded slightly, and he understood that he might have recorded some things that he found meaningful or interesting, but he still frowned and tried to ask: "Gang Leader, I read the whole article, but I didn't see the difference between this and finding the Kirin Ginseng." Doesn’t it matter, are we just taking too much luck by spending this time?”
In his opinion, it was all in vain.
Now that the secret has been revealed, Duan Yunyou no longer concealed it from him, and lightly reminded: "The elves of plants and trees turned into humans, and they naturally became humane because they were close to people. Suddenly, a unicorn, a magical beast, appeared. Of the way, where do you think it can get close to the divine beast Qilin? I've thought about it, except here, I can't think of anywhere else it can go to get in touch with the related things, unless it comes down from the fairy world."
After saying this, Gong Ziting probably understood, "So you want to find clues from the murals?"
Duan Yunyou nodded: "Since the records say that there are carved bionic pictures here, we should be able to judge a bit about Qilin's living habits based on the carvings. The carvings on the top are blurred, but the ones buried below may not be. Clear away the accumulated sand and have a good look. one time."
Gong Ziting now fully understood, but he still had doubts. He looked around and said, "If you can understand the path of Qilin here, it must grow here. But let alone ginseng, any plant is not suitable to grow here."
At this moment, two people broke in urgently outside the hall. Right Protector An Tianyin came in with a man wearing Scorpion Gang clothes.
If Yu Qing saw him, he would recognize him as one of the people left behind by the Scorpion Gang.
The two of them also flew to Xianbi. An Tianyin reported urgently: "Gang leader, Brother Tong has brought an emergency. He said that Xu Fengji has brought fifty or sixty men to prepare for a sneak attack on us."
The man wearing Scorpion Gang costumes is named Tong Zaitian.
Duan Yunyou frowned slightly and asked him, "Aren't there only about twenty people left? Where did the fifty or sixty people appear?"
Tong Zaitian said: "Cao Dingkun went to Kuailei City and recruited a group of new people in the name of looking for Qilin Ginseng."
"Qilin Ginseng?" Duan Yunyou and Gong Ziting both lost their voices.
Tong Zaitian: "He didn't know any clues about Kirin Ginseng. He just made it up to trick people into joining the gang."
Duan Yunyou and Gong Ziting looked at each other, feeling speechless.
