Mountains are deep mountains, and forests are old forests.
Most of the natural villages are self-contained villages in remote and barren areas, and there is of course a big gap in living standards between the administrative areas planned by the government.
The transportation is inconvenient and the population is not dense, which also leads to the lack of development efforts. Around this kind of village, most of the original landforms are quite intact, and even some more remote places may not even have roads for driving, and can only be entered by animal-drawn carts or on foot.
A group of people walked on the mountain for almost an hour, and the surrounding trees gradually became dense and lush, and the originally flat mountain road gradually became overgrown with bushes and grass, which greatly increased the difficulty of walking.
It's okay that the others are all young people. The fifth master may be old. Even with the support and care of four young lads, he is still tired and out of breath.
"I'm getting old, and my legs and feet are not as flexible as when I was young." In the end, the fifth master led people to stop at the entrance of an abandoned mine, and wiped his forehead with emotion: "If it used to be..."
Forget it, let's not talk about the past. Ye Shuang couldn't help but roll her eyes. She had heard the words "thinking of the past" five or six times along the way, and it still didn't count as similar synonyms.
After a few words of perfunctory agreement, Ye Shuang first coaxed Fifth Master to express his interest in thinking about the past, and Ye Shuang first went to the entrance of the cave to peek inside—it was black and smeared, and the visibility could not exceed ten meters.
"Is the ammunition hidden here?" Ye Shuang turned to ask the others.
One of the young people glanced at Master Wu, and after receiving a nod from the other party, he came out and replied, "It's inside. This is a black mine. No one knew about it when it was first mined, and the tunnels that were opened are also intricate. Yes, people who are not familiar with the road can make themselves dizzy... It’s not convenient to go in and walk. No one dares to do it casually in this kind of place, and it’s hard to say if you fill it in yourself.”
With geographical advantages and limited firepower, one can imagine how difficult it would be to forcibly transport and smuggle arms inside.
If it weren't for the local snake and his own people, it would be impossible to fish out things from here.
The young man had been prepared for a long time. When he was talking, he also took out a strong flashlight from his travel bag. As soon as the switch was turned on, he took the lead to get in and illuminate the road ahead: "Don't look at the desolation outside. In fact, there are traps inside. Yes. They’re all wild things. They’re very rough, but if you don’t know the way, you’ll get caught if you’re not careful. It’ll be hard to figure it out when the time comes.”
Sure enough, Ye Shuang went in behind, followed the young man's path with his eyes, and found several unnatural ground and mountain walls under the strong light of the flashlight. Although I can't see what kind of doorway is arranged. But it's also tricky to think about.
After Wu Ye walked on the flat road, he was obviously much more relaxed than when he was climbing the mountain just now. Even the original heavy breathing has calmed down a lot. He walked in the tunnel with his hands behind his back like a stroll, without paying much attention to the ground environment, and he seemed to be quite familiar with this place.
Han Chu didn't have a flashlight, but he had a cell phone. After turning on the light, it is no problem to illuminate the foot: "What kind of mine is this?"
Fifth Master teased him: "What kind of mine do you think it looks like?"
"...It's hard to say." Han Chu frowned, and the lights shone around him: "From the layout, it looks like a coal mine."
Fifth Master hadn't said anything yet, and the young people around him were already laughing. Ye Shuang was also happy: "Brother Han guessed wrong. The air smells wrong here."
Some of the young people gave Ye Shuang a strange look, but they didn't think there was anything wrong with the other party's strong sense of smell. At most, he felt that he was very talented, and then he nodded and said, "It's really not a coal mine." He couldn't help laughing and said, "Actually, it was a mistake. There was a big boss who hired someone to find out, and he found it here. There is a mine, but he didn't have a license at the beginning, so he hired someone to dig it secretly... In the end, you probably guessed it, the digging was messy, and nothing valuable was dug up at the end, so the boss lost all his money. return."
The fifth master also laughed hard: "This is also the old Huangli calendar. There used to be a lot of scumbags in the Tao. The Eight Immortals crossed the sea and each showed their supernatural powers. It is only natural that someone was tricked."
The unlucky boss at the beginning was actually tricked into it by someone. The so-called mining was just a cover, and the real purpose was that the opponent hired a godly disciple to punish his competitors.
Although Fifth Master was not involved in this scam, he was already well-informed on the road, and he also heard some inside information about the transaction afterwards.
"But it's nothing to worry about. It's impossible to fill this place up after it's been dug out. The old man just thinks it's not bad to use it to deceive people, so he just arranged it casually, making it a coal mine to bluff people. .” Master Wu laughed.
True and false, false and true. What the Qianmen are best at is fooling around, and it is not surprising that they come up with such a method.
The geographical advantage of the mine is on the one hand, and the other most deterrent is its identity—who dares to light an open fire in a coal mine
Therefore, as long as people who entered here, at least one important means of force would be considered sealed. Afterwards, of course, you can only fight with your bare hands. Apart from the level of hand-to-hand force, the fight is also about who knows the path in the cave better...
The young man in front of the road pursed his lips and smiled: "Master Wu hasn't talked about this with outsiders for decades. Please keep it a secret after the two of you go out. Although it's not worth anything, we will be more scruples." layers of protection."
Han Chu was speechless: "... there are no other ways here, right?"
Fifth Lord smiled: "I told you about the trap, I told you about the way of confusion, what else do you want to know? The old man is here for the elderly, and he didn't do a lot of tricks around him. Let's keep some cards for future use."
Han Chu and Ye Shuang looked at each other, but they didn't ask any further questions. Changed the topic and chatted casually for a while, and while talking, it didn't take long to reach a dead end.
The young man walked to the wall at the end of the road, turned around and rushed to the people behind him to laugh.
Ye Shuang frowned and thought about it, and followed the weak wind to look up to the top of her head thoughtfully: "On...?"
As soon as the voice fell, a rope ladder hung down from the three-meter-high ceiling above everyone's heads. The top of the wall is close to the wall. In the dark corner, a person leaned out half of his body, and was looking at Ye Shuang curiously while pulling the rope: "This is the first time anyone has seen this, Fifth Master?"
Fifth Master was also surprised, looked Ye Shuang up and down for a while, and then said solemnly: "Eighth Master can't make much money in that line of business, do you want to mix with me instead?"
