Chen Ze and others made a hole in the snow near the edge of the stone and buried all the pieces of paper in the soil. Chen Ze also took some soil to seal the entrance of the hole.
“What are you doing?” The disciple of the Huo family asked in confusion upon seeing this.
“I am going to take these pieces of paper out to study.” Chen Ze said.
Chen Ze said, wrapping the rope of his backpack around his waist and hanging it on his chest.
Chen Wenjin, Wang Bing and Yao Xin also drew gourds in the same way and tied them around their waists.
"Okay, let's go!" Chen Ze greeted everyone.
"Wait!" The Huo family disciple stopped Chen Ze, "Boss, I will carry these pieces of paper for you!"
Chen Ze: "Thank you!"
The disciples of the Huo family rushed to carry the cowhide envelopes filled with notes.
"Boss, do we want to take these notes away?" Chen Wenjin picked up one of the notes and said.
"Take it!" Chen Ze did not object.
"Then let's go deeper and see what conspiracy the owner of this tomb has." Chen Wenjin was eager to give it a try.
Along the way, Chen Wenjin was still studying the notes, but the further inside, the more surprised Chen Wenjin became, because she found that the content on the note overlapped with what she had read before.
Finally, Chen Wenjin found an introduction to the tombs of the Tang Dynasty.
“This is the manuscript left by Li Taibai, a famous tomb robber in our country’s history. It is said that he was Li Shimin’s favorite student of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty. Li Taibai once stole the coffin from the mausoleum of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty and stole Many priceless treasures came out, including "Jiuzhou Chronicle"
"I have read this manuscript. It only records the process of tomb robbing. It does not record the specific location of the tomb. It does not explain the specific location." Chen Wenjin handed the manuscript to Chen Ze.
After Chen Ze got it, he also read it carefully.
Chen Ze looked very carefully, reading every piece of paper carefully, and even used a magnifying glass to carefully observe the words written on it. Chen Ze felt that he could get a clue to Li Taibai's tomb.
Half an hour later, Chen Ze withdrew his gaze.
"How's it going? Did you find any useful information?" the Huo family disciple asked expectantly.
"Not yet, but I have a hunch that Li Taibai's tomb must be at the top of the mountain." Chen Ze said solemnly.
“The top of the mountain!” Chen Wenjin murmured.
"That's right!" Chen Ze nodded, "Let's explore along the hillside toward the front. Compared to the bottom of the mountain, the scenery on the top of the mountain will be more charming."
"Okay! "Chen Wenjin nodded, she also wanted to end this mission as soon as possible.
Time flies, and Chen Ze and his party successfully reach the top of the mountain. On the other side of the mountain is a cliff. Chen Ze estimates that the top of the mountain is the center of the entire tomb.
There are just a lot of weeds piled up on the side of the cliff, and these grasses grow vigorously.
And there are obvious signs of being cut at the roots.
Chen Ze looked around and found that there were many footprints of human activities on one side of the mountain top, but these footprints were very scattered. Some footprints were fresh, while others were already several years old. .
"Did these people never leave after they arrived?" the Huo family disciple guessed, looking at the messy footprints.
"This place is not suitable for resting. You need to rest where you are. I will go down to see the situation first." After Chen Ze said that, he jumped into the cliff alone.
Chen Ze fell very fast, but because Chen Ze wore protective clothing, the impact of the fall did not cause much damage to Chen Ze.
But even so, Chen Ze's body still suffered a huge shock, which caused Chen Ze's energy and blood to surge. A mouthful of reverse blood was held in his throat and almost spurted out. Chen Ze held it back. This situation must be done as soon as possible. Find a place to stay, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous. Chen Ze also saw the footprints of other people on his way down, but they were not clear and they all descended in a hurry.
After Chen Ze descended five or six hundred meters, he finally found a slightly flat stone as a buffer. Chen Ze chose to stop falling without hesitation and climbed up.
While Chen Ze sat down to catch his breath, he also checked his equipment.
"I'm going to pinch you, I'm scared to death!" The Huo family disciple said with lingering fear as he looked at the scene in front of him.
It turns out that just when Chen Ze fell down, a plant below suddenly became extremely large and directly blocked Chen Ze's vision, causing Chen Ze to lose his sight.
And just when Chen Ze descended to less than ten meters away from the giant tree, the giant tree seemed to come alive. It actually extended its branches and leaves, forming a vine that wrapped around Chen Ze's head. Legs.
Fortunately, Chen Ze reacted in time and kicked off his legs to avoid it, otherwise Chen Ze would have been in trouble today.
However, all this made Chen Ze realize that there is something weird about the cliff on the top of the mountain, but he doesn’t know what the weird thing is now, so Chen Ze needs to understand the environment first.
After staying at the top of the mountain for a few minutes, Chen Ze finally cleared his mind.
First of all, the rocks here are very hard and covered with moss, and there is a black ore mixed in the cracks in the rocks.
Secondly, although the plants under the rocks are tenacious, they will soon wither under the stimulation of the rocks.
Finally, there are many ferns growing under the rocks, which also explains why this mountain is called "Ghost Viewing Sorrow". This mountain is a ghost mountain.
"Boss , do you think Li Taibai will dig his grave so that ghosts will worry about it?" asked a disciple of the Huo family.
"Who knows? But no matter which possibility, we have to confirm it. I want to see what this Li Taibai is hiding." Chen Ze stood up and patted the dust on his clothes.
"Boss, let's go over there and have a look!" Yao Xin said, pointing to the mountain peak on the right.
“Hmm!”
Everyone followed the direction pointed by Yao Xin, and Chen Ze discovered that the height of this mountain peak actually reached seven or eight thousand meters, which was simply terrifying.
Chen Ze was worried at first that it would be difficult to dig Li Taibai's tomb, but he did not expect that Li Taibai would build his tomb at such a high place.
After walking for two hours, everyone finally found a cave on a steep mountain wall.
"This cave entrance is not naturally formed. It seems to have been dug out by people later." Yao Xin said, pointing to a raised mountain on the mountain wall.
“It seems someone has been here!” Chen Wenjin said.
“I’ll go down and take a look first!” Chen Ze said and prepared to slide down.
“Wait for me, boss, I’ll go with you.” Yao Xin said.
"Okay!" Chen Ze replied. Since Yao Xin wanted to go down with him, Chen Ze would go with him.
"Wen Xin, just stay outside and be careful!" Chen Ze warned.
“Yeah!” Chen Wenjin expressed understanding.
Chen Ze took Yao Xin's hand and slid down. This was a slope. The slope was not particularly steep, so it did not affect the two of them from sliding down. However, the space below was relatively narrow, only for the two of them to slide down.
Soon the two arrived at the entrance of the cave.
The entrance to the cave was very shallow, and Chen Ze stepped on a stone platform and walked in.
“Holy shit, what the hell is this?” Yao Xin said in surprise as soon as she stepped into the cave. (End of this chapter)
