Liu Feng felt that Qian Mu would never deceive him. He discovered the salt fields, but he did not mine them himself. There must be other reasons.
As for why he was asked to go mining, Qian Mu did not say, so Liu Feng did not know.
Check carefully before you go.
After that, the two chatted about various things for a while. When they were talking excitedly, Song Linger came back with Qian Tian.
The two of them had nothing to do, so they chatted while shopping. They had already walked around the city, carrying a lot of bags in their hands.
Especially Song Ling'er, who was carrying a lot of things.
Liu Feng guessed that Song Ling'er must have prepared this for her sisters at home.
"Sir, I just went to the city gate and found a few mountain names. I've already found out everything."
"I left two mountain people who are familiar with the conditions in the mountains with us to serve as our guides."
"But we can't let them follow us for nothing, so I promised to give them money."
"It's a small matter. Just give me as much silver as you like."
"Sir, I'll give them fifty copper coins. Do you think it's too much?"
Liu Feng laughed immediately. Song Ling'er was really so heartwarming.
Fifty copper coins, this is too little, it’s not a lot at all, it’s simply too cheap.
It’s such a cheap thing, so why not let these two mountain people cooperate with them in the future.
Now that he already had a guide, Liu Feng planned to set off early, enter the mountains early, and finish his work early.
The few of them then said goodbye to Qian Mu and came to the city gate. When they arrived, Liu Feng found that two honest villagers were waiting there.
One of them looked to be in his forties, wearing boots made of animal skins and carrying a bow and arrow on his back. He seemed to be a hunter.
One of them looked younger, in his thirties. He had a bamboo basket on his back with a hoe in it. However, this hoe also had a special function, with a hoe on one side and an axe on the other.
He also had several cloth bags of different sizes, ropes and other items hanging around his waist. It seemed that he was a hunter who made a living by hunting.
Liu Feng was very satisfied with these two people. Such a guide was exactly what he wanted.
"Gentlemen, I appreciate you being my guides. But first, please take a look at this map. Have you ever been to this place on the map?"
"Look around here, do you know what's going on?"
Liu Feng asked Chen Buyi to take out the map and spread it out in front of the two of them.
The two men came over to take a look, their faces changed instantly, and then they said in unison:
"This is the Black Tiger Cave."
From their surprised looks, Liu Feng could make a basic judgment that this place was probably not simple.
And both of them were able to exclaim at the same time.
This means that quite a few of the mountain people around here know about this place.
"What is the Black Tiger Cave?"
"Have you ever been there?"
Liu Feng immediately asked curiously.
When Song Linger heard this, his expression turned a little ugly.
Obviously, not only the surrounding mountain people knew about this place, but Song Linger had also heard of the legend of the Black Tiger Cave.
"Sir, you can't go to this place. It's very evil."
"Yes, this place is absolutely not to be visited, and we dare not go there."
The two mountain people looked at the map and couldn't stop shaking their heads.
"Sir, if you go to this place, I will return the money to you now."
"This place is too weird. We dare not go there, let alone lead you there."
Liu Feng raised his eyebrows.
What's so weird about this? It's just a cave. Could there be something scary going on?
Besides, Liu Feng himself does not believe in these superstitious things in this world.
All kinds of monsters and demons are not within his consideration.
If you really believe it, it is when you are in a desperate situation, and it is very effective.
"Tell me clearly what's going on in this place."
Liu Feng asked again.
It is not uncommon for him to start something great but not finish it.
However, the two mountain people had a very secretive expression about this place. At this moment, they just kept their mouths open and did not dare to speak for a long time.
This aroused Liu Feng's curiosity even more. Not to mention the salt fields or anything, this place was enough to make him interested.
"To be honest, there has always been a legend in our mountain that this place is the entrance to hell. It is said that there are countless soldiers and countless corpses inside."
"Before, some brave mountain people entered the cave to look for some things to exchange for silver, but without exception, they all disappeared."
"That's why these mountain people are so afraid of this place. They believe that deep inside the cave is the entrance to hell. It's what they call a forbidden place."
Song Ling'er told the legend she had heard. Although she was a woman, her thinking was more advanced than those of the mountain people.
Liu Feng and Chen Buyi looked at each other.
That’s not right. Qian Mu said that when he gave him the map.
There are people going to that place, and this place is a place that the Heaven and Earth Society will abandon.
Therefore, it can be inferred that Qian Mu must have sent a spy to this place, and this spy came back alive.
If that’s the case, don’t these legends about gods and hells become self-defeating?
Of course, there is also a possibility that Qian Mu knew about these legends about the Black Tiger Cave a long time ago, and his purpose in doing so was to let Liu Feng go there.
Find out what this place has to offer.
So, whether there are salt fields in this place is two different issues?
But Liu Feng thought about it and realized that given the current situation, what exactly was in this place? This was completely unknown.
On second thought, he couldn't think of any reason why Qian Mu would harm him.
"General, do you think there might be ghosts in that place?"
"Yes, yes, you big-headed ghost, what are you thinking about?"
Liu Feng sneered and slapped him in the face.
"Okay, you two, don't worry. This place is so dangerous that we don't dare to go there."
"Our purpose for entering the mountains this time is very clear: to purchase medicinal herbs. This is the route map we prepared for collecting them."
"Just follow these instructions and lead the way for us. Don't worry about anything else."
The two mountain people immediately breathed a sigh of relief and calmed down secretly.
However, their homes in the mountains were not in the same village, so they finally decided that each of them would take half of the route.
The hunter took the small path home first, because compared with others, the hunter's physical strength and speed advantages were more obvious.
Halfway through the journey, Liu Feng and others rested for a day, checked the medicinal materials, and then continued the rest of the journey under the guidance of the hunter.
Because Liu Feng brought Song Ling'er with him when he went out this time, and it was also Liu Feng's first time entering this mountain, the group did not move very fast on the mountain road.
At the end of the day, I only met three people digging herbs, and I didn't collect much.
