——
In the deep mountains and forests thousands of miles away.
A group of people were sitting under a big tree to rest. It was getting dark. There were several bonfires burning not far away, and meat was roasting on each bonfire.
The only sounds in the woods were the crackling of the fire and the voices of their group of people talking.
"Master, how long do we have to walk?" A middle-aged man, who was a little older, was exhausted and panting. He sat next to a kind-looking old monk who had his eyes closed and was resting. He asked with heavy breathing.
They have been searching for several days, but still haven't found the place the master mentioned.
Moreover, this is a deep mountain forest with many ferocious prey. They originally came with twenty people, but now three or four people have died on the road in just a few days.
If they can't find that place, their manpower will probably become less and less.
"No rush, I've calculated. We should be able to reach our destination tomorrow. Let's all have a good rest tonight." The old monk closed his eyes and kept talking.
The middle-aged man hesitated and said softly, "But Master, you said the same thing last night."
They said the same thing yesterday, but today they walked all day and still didn't reach their destination.
So he was a little skeptical, could he really reach the destination the master had mentioned tomorrow?
When the old monk heard this, his wrinkled forehead frowned and he opened a pair of cloudy but somewhat shrewd eyes.
He looked at the middle-aged man and said, "You don't believe me."
The middle-aged man waved his hands quickly. "I just want to know when we can arrive. That way, we can go back earlier. After all, there are too many prey in the mountains, and everyone is worried about safety."
The most important thing is that most of the people who were bitten to death by wild beasts were the servants he brought with him.
Although the people he invited were very reliable, who wouldn't want to return safely in this deep forest?
"Don't worry, we were delayed for a long time on the road today. We will try to go faster tomorrow and we will definitely arrive tomorrow." After saying that, the old monk closed his eyes again and began to meditate and regulate his breathing.
Hearing the master's confident words, and thinking that if those things really were there, he would be rich.
Although he has enough food and drink now, no one would complain about having too much money.
So when he saw the master closed his eyes again, he didn't say anything else.
Fang Ping, a young and slightly fat man sitting under a tree opposite, took the roasted meat and approached Wang Yue, a bearded, muscular man with a scar at the corner of his eye. He handed him a skewer of meat and asked while looking at the old monk and the others.
"Brother, what on earth are Master Li and the old monk looking for? They've been taking us around the mountains for days, but they won't tell us what they're looking for."
Fang Ping watched them raise the barbecued meat doubtfully, put it to his lips, took a big bite, and shook his head in confusion.
Wang Yue took the barbecue and started eating. When he heard Fang Ping glance over there, he quickly looked away.
"Why worry about so many things? We just need to mind our own business."
They are just escorts. Their only responsibility is to transport things. They have no right to interfere in other people's affairs.
"But it's been several days. If you guys didn't know some martial arts, you wouldn't be able to protect yourself in this deep forest. I'm really worried about you guys."
Although there were no casualties in their team, several people were injured.
Fortunately, they were all minor injuries and nothing serious.
"Alright, forget about all this nonsense. We've been on dangerous escort missions before. Hurry up and grill some more meat for me."
He finished such a small amount of meat in a few bites, and it was not even enough to fill his teeth.
How can this little bit of food not be enough after so long?
"Oh, okay, I'll go right away."
When Fang Ping heard that his elder brother wanted to eat meat, he immediately ran to the fire to grill the meat for him.
Everyone rested here for one night and set off again the next day.
After they walked forward for a while, the compass in the old monk's hand pointed to a location.
The old monk's eyes lit up instantly, and he excitedly shouted to the people in front of him, "It's nearby. Everyone, look for any unusual places around here."
When Mr. Li, Wang Yue and others heard this, they all started searching nearby.
Soon someone shouted, "There is a cave here, come and take a look."
When everyone heard this, they all came over. The most excited ones were the old monk and Mr. Li.
The old monk walked over quickly, saw the cave, took out a blueprint from his arms, walked to the side of the cave, and seemed to be looking for something.
It wasn't long before the old monk discovered a mark on the wall of the cave. The mark was very hidden and small, and someone who didn't know about it wouldn't be able to find it at all.
Moreover, this mark is exactly the same as the mark on the drawing paper in the old monk's hand, except that the one on the wall is smaller. You can tell at a glance that it is quite old because there is a lot of moss and weeds growing on it.
After checking, the old monk laughed happily and said, "Yes, this is it."
"Let's go in and take a look."
If Wen Mianmian and the others were here, they would definitely know this cave, which was the cave where Xiaobai took them to hunt for treasure.
The old monk couldn't wait to go in.
The others followed immediately, but because it was very dark inside, Wang Yue and others got several torches, and it suddenly became much brighter inside.
However, this cave is really deep. After walking for a long time, there was no other way ahead.
Everyone looked puzzled. Master Li looked at the old monk and said, "Master, there is no way out here. Did we find the wrong place?"
Wang Yue, Fang Ping and others also looked inside the cave curiously.
This is just an ordinary cave. Could there be something else inside?
The old monk took out the map from his arms again, squinted his eyes and looked at it for a while, then began to look for it nearby.
After searching for about half an incense stick of time, I finally found a switch and pressed it.
The area where they were standing began to slowly fall.
Wang Yue and the others had not expected that there was a mechanism here. They kept their bodies steady and descended about two meters. There was a long passage below.
The old monk walked in first, and everyone followed quickly.
After walking for about half an hour, they finally arrived at the secret room.
"Haha, we're finally here." The old monk was filled with excitement.
Then he took the torch from one of them and strode in.
Mr. Li also looked delighted, thinking that he was really going to make a fortune this time.
But what they didn't expect was that there was nothing inside.
