At noon.
To the east of the gloomy sky, there is a stretch of green mountains.
In the mountain forest, Jiang Cheng and his party were walking with difficulty.
Jiang Cheng walked in front, keeping pace with each step while staring closely at the measuring ruler in his leg.
I have been walking in the forest for nearly an hour, and there is still no response from the sky measuring ruler. As time passed, Jiang Cheng felt uneasy.
"Why is the measuring ruler so unresponsive?" Xu Dingjia complained from behind: "Maybe Ren Zhifei said it wrong, maybe it's not in that direction at all."
Chu Xueying said: "Do I think everyone is as unreliable as me?"
"He is unreliable!" Xu Dingjia was furious. He stopped and asked to argue with Chu Xueying.
Jiang Cheng tried to smooth things over and said, "Everyone, please calm down. According to what Bao Hong said, they are not the only Guixu believers. Maybe there will be many people coming that way in the future. Let's not endanger our enemies because of our quarrel." Bring it here."
When Xu Dingjia thought of last night's experience, he felt a little frightened, so he kept his mouth shut.
Jiang Cheng wiped the sweat from his forehead and felt a little frustrated when he saw Fu Fu's unresponsive measuring ruler. Yu Fucuo said to the others, "Let them rest for a while before talking."
Of course Xu Dingjia had no objection, and since he was not doing anything clean, he walked eastward. He stretched his legs to untie the backpack and happily escaped from the various snacks inside. He was very generous that time. He didn't eat it all for himself, but shared the food with the other two people first. Jiang Cheng knew that the road from Donglai was not easy to walk, and he really needed to replenish his strength, so he accepted the snacks that were handed over to him and ate them.
Chu Xueying took the food from Xu Dingjia with a look of disgust, but she was not in a hurry to go east to rest first. Instead, after observing the terrain, she found a hidden position with good visibility, and then began to rest.
Xu Dingjia ate and drank for a while, and his physical strength recovered a lot, and his mood improved. It was as if the quarrel just now had never happened.
Jiang Cheng couldn't help but guess that he just wanted to let that guy have a full stomach, even if he died immediately.
Taking advantage of that moment to rest, Jiang Cheng thought about his experiences since confinement and asked Xu Dingjia: "How much do I know about the ruins?"
Xu Dingjia shook his head and said: "He knew that the ruins were the heritage of the Stranger's ancestors. However, he didn't know much about the Stranger. The cultivators and the Stranger had distrusted each other a long time ago. After that, there were a lot less records related to them, and there are some surviving records in ancient books. I asked him, but it was not as fruitful as asking a stranger."
"A stranger?" Hearing this, Jiang Cheng couldn't help but turn his head and look in the direction of Chu Xueying.
It has to be said that the place Chu Xueying chose was indeed very hidden. If he had not known it in advance, Jiang Cheng would not have found any trace of the wrong party.
"I don't want to ask him if he knows about the ruins from Cui Benshan." Chu Xueying's voice came from behind a bush, "All he knows is that the ruins are related to the plans of the Guixu believers. Those He’s told us all this before.”
Jiang Cheng frowned and said, "The last time Cui Benshan contacted me was seven years ago. It has been so long. Could it be that the Guixu believers had already obtained what they wanted at the ruins? Tianzhicai has not responded?"
"That's wrong, then what are they doing here?" Xu Dingjia said suddenly, and immediately stood up and begged to go back...
"Go ahead, you idiot!" "Chu Xueying said coldly: "How come the ruins are so easy to find! Cui Benshan also said at the beginning that he would know the location of the ruins if he received some kind of revelation. "
"Since he already knows the location of the ruins, why didn't he tell me directly?" Jiang Cheng asked doubtfully.
Chu Xueying walked out from behind the bushes with a very puzzled expression. She recalled carefully and said: "He did try to tell the address at that time. At first, he told the town. It seemed that there was something there. Preventing him from telling the specific location of the ruins, Yongwanzhe, there is no way for him to tell it himself."
"Will there be that kind of cocoa?" Jiang Cheng looked at Xu Dingjia.
Xu Dingjia chewed Chu Xueying's words carefully, thought for a while, and then said: "I said before, did senior brother get some kind of revelation before he knew the location of the ruins. That revelation was probably the signal left by the ancient strangers, or not? It is a kind of information transmission at the spiritual level. The information is complicated and obscure, and it is indeed difficult to express it in words. The reason why he was able to tell me the location of the town was probably because the senior brother had already arrived there, but did not leave immediately. Heading to the ruins. He probably had a premonition that this trip would be very dangerous, so he deliberately turned back and told me what happened."
Chu Xueying nodded and said: "When I said that, he somewhat understood. Since then, he has indeed never seen Cui Benshan again. Could it be said that he has really died in the ruins?"
Jiang Cheng noticed that Cuo Fang's cold face actually showed a trace of disappointment.
"Maybe things are not what I imagined." Jiang Cheng comforted, "Maybe Cui Benshan was delayed due to other things."
"Am I comforting him?" Chu Xueying's tone returned to indifference, and she said: "Save it for yourself. Instead of holding on to such baseless expectations, it is better to be prepared to face the danger. Is that rational?" practice."
The wrong party didn't appreciate it, which made Jiang Cheng feel a little embarrassed, so he had to change the subject and said: "What exactly is in the ruins? Why did Cui Benshan insist on entering it even though he knew there would be danger?"
"He doesn't know either, but since it's not the remains of a stranger, it must be related to the stranger." Xu Dingjia said while thinking.
"Isn't that nonsense?" Chu Xueying said disdainfully.
"Oh? What do I have to say?" Xu Dingjia raised his eyebrows and said unconvinced.
Seeing the two of them quarreling again, Jiang Cheng went to ask: "Have they forgotten some clues about the request? For example, that old Fang!"
"Old Fang?" Xu Dingjia listened, his expression deep in thought.
"Indeed, that old Fang is a little weird." Chu Xueying said: "After he left the hotel, he contacted Shao Fang, and she said she didn't know who Old Fang was."
"Have I contacted Shao Fang?" Jiang Cheng looked at Chu Xueying and asked, "How could I tell those things?"
"Does he need to inform me of everything?" Chu Xueying gave Jiang Cheng a red look and said, "Anyway, how about bringing Dong Lai Bu Sheng? They don't want to continue searching for the ruins."
Jiang Cheng was a little embarrassed by what he said, so he just said: "Did he mean... Isn't Shao Fang a stranger? She should at least know some information about Lao Fang."
