There were many tall trees at the foot of the mountain. After Gao Pingsheng landed, he looked around, walked a dozen steps to the west, then drew out his long sword and chopped off one of the big trees.
The long sword was returned to its sheath, and the tree began to slowly fall. Gao Pingsheng stepped aside and calmly avoided it.
After the big tree fell, Gao Pingsheng walked towards the stone wall on the north side.
This mountain peak is very high. After years of wind and rain, a lot of rocks and soil have accumulated at the foot of the mountain. Gao Pingsheng walked closer, put down his baggage sword, and began to move the rocks in front of the stone wall.
Nanfeng peeked from the secret, and Gao Pingsheng found this place accurately from among the vast mountains, which shows that he is very familiar with this place. To be precise, his spiritual consciousness in his previous life is very familiar with this place. The big tree he cut off before Behind the tree was probably the place where the tortoise shells were hidden on the map. Since it was too far away, the stone wall could not be clearly seen, so it was impossible to determine whether it was a tomb or a cave hidden there.
A lot of rocks fell under the stone wall. Gao Pingsheng was pushing and moving them. Nanfeng took the opportunity to look around. Logically speaking, there should be a dragon of a different species here, but for some reason there was no unusual aura around him.
In addition to looking for possible dragon anomalies, Nanfeng is also looking for Fatty and Zhuge Chanjuan. The two set out in the afternoon and should have arrived long ago.
When the two were nowhere to be found, Nanfeng took advantage of Gao Pingsheng's back to emit spiritual energy. As long as the two were nearby, he could see his complexion.
As expected, the two of them were nearby and found the south wind's complexion. The two of them also indicated their location with their complexion. They were on the mountainside of the west mountain, no more than a hundred feet away from Gao Pingsheng.
At this time, it is almost certain that Gao Ping was one of the nine Taoists who studied the Turtle Shell Heavenly Book in his previous life, and he was most likely the one who lived here. Others may also know the location, but after a thousand years, Even if they could find it, they wouldn't be able to find it so accurately.
This person has returned to his former home all the way, and it is definitely not as simple as revisiting his old place. The most likely reason is to come back to get something.
Although I don’t know exactly what this person wants to get, the Turtle Shell Heavenly Book can be excluded first. The reason is very simple. This person has studied the Turtle Shell Heavenly Book in his previous life and is already familiar with it. There is no need to come back to get it again.
Just as Nanfeng was watching intently, the fat man's breath disappeared once again.
Although Nanfeng saw it, he didn't respond. The fat man was asking if he wanted to show up and take action, but the situation was still unclear at this time and he couldn't act rashly.
Although there are a lot of rocks piled up in front of the stone wall, it is not very time-consuming to move them. What is time-consuming is the pile of soil. Gao Pingsheng may not have thought that such a situation would happen before, and he did not bring any household items with him, so he could only cut it with a long sword. Use a wooden shovel to dig.
While waiting, Nanfeng was also thinking about how to deal with this matter. The most stupid thing to do was to rush out now and fight Gao Pingsheng to catch him. But what to do after you catch it? Gao Pingsheng would definitely not accept that method of extorting confessions through torture.
Another way is to show up at this time and try to negotiate with Gao Pingsheng, but Gao Pingsheng does not need the help of the three people. You can't ask him for the Turtle Shell Book on the pretext of helping him dig the soil. Gao Pingsheng does not understand the three people, and he must not The Tortoise Shell Book will not be handed over to them.
After thinking about it carefully, the only feasible way was to wait for Gao Pingsheng to remove the soil and open the cave, then launch a surprise attack, entangle or restrain him, and grab the tortoise shell first.
This method is feasible, but it is very difficult, because the timing is difficult to control. God knows if there are complicated opening mechanisms in this cave. If there is, we can only hope that Gao Pingsheng will open it himself. If he does it too early, the cave may not be opened. . If the action is too late, Gao Pingsheng will enter the cave. At that time, he may close the stone door from the inside, and may also take the opportunity to destroy the tortoise shell heavenly book inside. Gao Pingsheng is the master, and no one knows better than him where to put his things. .
Everything has pros and cons. Although this method is feasible, it also has a lot of disadvantages, that is, once he takes action, Gao Pingsheng will immediately regard the three of them as enemies, and it will be impossible to deal with it peacefully. In other words, there is only one chance. It's over if you can't grab the tortoise shell.
It took a full hour for Gao Pingsheng to clean up the soil under the stone wall. He dug further under the stone wall for a while, then put down the shovel and jumped up.
Fatty and Zhuge Chanjuan were located on the mountainside. Gao Pingsheng was located at the bottom of the mountain and could not see them. However, if Gao Pingsheng climbed to the top of the cliff above the stone wall, he might find them.
Fortunately, Gao Pingsheng did not go up to the top of the cliff, but fell to the stone slope above the stone wall.
After a brief observation against the stone wall, Gao Pingsheng shook his head, floated to the ground, and swept eastward with his baggage sword.
Since Gao Pingsheng brought the borer given by Zhuge Chanjuan, Nanfeng was not worried that he would never return. Moreover, judging from Gao Pingsheng's previous actions, he probably went out to look for a handy tool.
After Gao Pingsheng left, Fatty and Zhuge Chanjuan came over to meet Nanfeng.
"What did this guy do?" The fat man sighed and rubbed his hands. He hid in the snow in the cold weather and felt uncomfortable.
"Maybe he went out into the mountains to look for something handy." There was wine in Nanfeng's bag, so he took the wine flask and handed it to the fat man.
"Go and take a look?" Zhuge Chanjuan pointed at the stone wall.
"Don't worry yet." Nanfeng shook his head. It had snowed before. If he went to check, it would be easy to leave footprints.
"This person probably lived here before." Zhuge Chanjuan said.
Nanfeng nodded. The area that Gao Pingsheng had previously cleared was originally a cave, and the Taoist might have lived there before his death.
The fat man took a few sips of wine and returned the flask to Nanfeng. "It's already midnight. He will definitely not be able to come back tonight. Let's find a place to stay first."
Nanfeng waved his hand, "There are two ways at the moment. One is to find a place to stay, wait for him to come back tomorrow night, and then rush out to entangle him the moment he opens the cave. Others take the opportunity to enter the cave to look for tortoise shells. There is another The way is to open the cave and find the turtle shell before he comes back."
"Just tell me what to do." The fat man said.
"This cave may not have a mechanism, but is permanently closed. There is also a possibility that it has been too old and the mechanism is broken and cannot be opened, otherwise there is no need for him to stop halfway." Nanfeng analyzed.
"It's really cold," the fat man urged impatiently, "Whatever you want to do, hurry up and don't be nagging here."
"I'll go over first to check on the situation, but don't go there." Nanfeng began to take off his shoes.
"What are you doing?" the fat man asked doubtfully.
"Don't leave any footprints." Nanfeng replied casually.
"Is it necessary? Why don't you take off your pants too." The fat man pouted. They were already waiting on the mountainside before Gao Pingsheng came. They had been freezing for half the night and were filled with resentment.
Nanfeng ignored him and rushed towards the stone wall. On the way, he borrowed strength from a fallen tree and landed near the stone wall.
The stone wall in front of me is very smooth, and its color is slightly different from the mountain. Although it is closely connected with the mountain, it is not completely integrated. The stone wall itself is about three feet long.
Under the stone wall, there is a human-excavated earth pit. This pit was dug by Gao Pingsheng before. It is about three feet deep. The north side is still a stone wall, and the bottom of the stone wall has not been dug.
Through this hole, it is not difficult to find that Gao Pingsheng had previously tried to dig a gap under the stone wall to enter the cave, but failed.
Observing the situation below, Nanfeng jumped up and landed at the place Gao Pingsheng had been looking for before. When he lowered his head and looked down, he immediately found clues. The stone wall below originally belonged to the upper mountain. It was man-made and fell down to seal the entrance of the cave. It was also used to prevent theft of the tomb. The Broken Dragon Stone has a similar function. The entire stone wall is about three feet long, two feet high, and about five feet thick.
At that time, the stone wall should have fit well with the mountain, but as time went by, the heavy stone wall began to sink, and a gap of about three inches appeared between the stone wall and the mountain.
Nanfeng tilted his head sideways, trying to observe the situation inside through the gap, but the angle was limited, and he could only see that there was a large space inside, but could not see the specific situation inside.
After observing, Nanfeng waved to the two people in the distance.
Zhuge Chanjuan and Fatty arrived with ease.
"There is a cave behind this stone wall." Nanfeng put on his shoes. "There are two ways to enter the cave. One is to widen the gap above and get in. The other way is to dig down and dig in from under the stone wall. , Master Ba and I will go out immediately and buy tools and come back early."
"There is another way." Zhuge Chanjuan pointed to the top of the stone wall, "This stone wall is five feet thick. You can drill a hole, put on a rope, and drag it from a distance. The three of us work together and we should be able to pull it down. .”
"That's a way." Nanfeng nodded. Lao Bai could transform into a huge ferocious beast and was very powerful.
"How thick did you say this stone wall was?" the fat man yelled from below.
"About five feet." Zhuge Chanjuan said.
"Five feet, I thought it was five feet." The fat man jumped in front of the stone wall with two hammers, lunged, and swung the hammers vigorously.
With one hammer blow, the stone wall shook violently.
"Don't be reckless, be careful." Nanfeng floated to the ground and shouted to stop him.
It was a good thing that he didn't shout. When he called Fatty, he became more energetic. He hit with another hammer with his backhand, causing stone fragments to fly. Fatty had eight golden bodies to protect his body, and he did not avoid the sharp stone fragments. He swung the hammer continuously and smashed it wildly.
"Get out of the way, don't break down," the fat man waved his arms and kept talking, "You are afraid of wolves in front of you and tigers in the back, just like a girl."
The fat man had eaten Turtle-backed Beetle, which gave him great strength and the help of spiritual energy. When the hammer came down, the stone chips flew everywhere. The two of them raised their arms to block it and stayed away from it.
"Don't hit randomly, just hit the same spot." Nanfeng reminded.
"It's quite a simple thing, but it's more complicated when it comes to you. What's the difference when you hit it?" The fat man continued to swing the hammer.
Seeing him making a mistake, Nanfeng didn't bother to pay attention to him. Zhuge Chanjuan said from the side, "It saves more effort to hit the same position."
She shouted in vain. The fat man didn't listen to him and just smashed randomly. In a moment, two gaps were made in the huge stone wall. Then with a roar, the two gaps were connected, and a path was opened with brute force. aisle.
Although the fat man was tired, he felt very proud. He turned around and looked at the two of them, "See, it's that simple."
As soon as the fat man finished speaking, there was a clicking sound behind him. The stone wall was smashed by him, and horizontal cracks appeared from the gap. At this time, it was rapidly breaking along the cracks.
When he noticed that the upper stone wall was showing signs of collapse, Nanfeng hurriedly shouted a warning, "Get out of the way."
The heavy stone wall fell very slowly in the early stage, but once it began to tilt very fast, Fatty heard the warning from the south wind and panicked and wanted to run away. However, the stone wall fell so fast that he could not dodge and escape.
Nanfeng and Zhuge Chanjuan were far away, and even if they tried to rescue her, they could not reach her. The heavy stone walls collapsed and the ground shook.
After a brief moment of astonishment, Nan Feng came to his senses and ran towards the stone wall, shouting sadly.
"I'm not dead yet, why cry in mourning." The fat man's voice came from under the stone wall.
"Don't be impulsive in the future. We will suffer a lot." Nanfeng raised his hand to wipe the sweat. He was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat.
"Don't say this, dig me out quickly..."
