Lin Jiu naturally did not object.
He had come here for the Divine Tree of Qinling Mountains. After waiting for a long time, he finally received Old Itchy's offer. He immediately nodded.
When Wu Xie saw that Lin Jiu had gotten through, she became more confident. After three rounds of wine, when she chatted with Old Itchy, she could not help but start bragging.
In any case, he had mixed up the truth of the tomb fight and made it sound like a miracle. Old itchy was also stunned when he heard it.
However, seeing Lin Jiu and Old Itchy putting their arms around each other's shoulders, Lin Jiu still kept an eye out.
After all, Old Itchy was already dead. What Old Itchy said was just an excuse. No one was telling the truth. Lin Jiu wanted to find the Divine Tree, and Wu Xie was tricked by Old Itchy. As for Old Itchy…
It was even stranger.
From Hucheng to the old forest in the Snake Head Mountain of Qinling Mountains, Lin Jiu and the others had to change cars several times and cross the mountains several times before they could reach that place.
Wu Xie could not figure out how Old Itchy and the others had managed to run into such a deep forest.
They first took a bus to the nearby county town and then went straight to Mount Taibai.
The Snake Head Mountain was still in the depths of the Qinling Mountains. Even though they had reached the Snake Head Mountain, they still had a long way to go before they reached the old forest where Old Itch and the others had found the bronze tree.
Sitting in the car along the way and entering the mountains, Lin Jiu and the others could occasionally hear the sound of explosions.
Because they were surrounded by mountains, once the cannons were released, the intense sound would spread far away, and the echoes would not disappear for a long time.
Wu Xie found it strange and asked the others in the car,"
"Is there still development going on here? But there was no construction team in sight, so why did they set off the firecrackers?”
A local heard Wu Xie's question and explained to him,"
"These people who blew up the cannons came to our Qinling Mountains to dig graves and rob the tombs. They dare to make money from the dead. In our mountains, there are many such things.”
Wu Xie sighed, saying that there were actually so many ancient tombs in Qinling.
However, this was not surprising. Other than the Ancestral Dragon Vein on Mount Kunlun, Mount Qinling was like a divine dragon entrenched in the center of China. The mountains were so large that it was unknown how many treasure caves were hidden. It was only because of the huge number of ancient tombs here.
Since they entered the mountain from here, there were bumpy dirt roads behind them. In addition, it had not rained here for several months, so the potholes on the ground were even harder. The yellow soil lumps were all over the road, and the car would bump three or four times for every meter it went forward.
Wu Xie had bumped her head several times because of the uneven road and the car's ups and downs.
Lin Jiu was slightly better, but his face was pale because he was sitting in the car. He rolled down the window from time to time and then vomited for a while. When he couldn't vomit anymore, he was still retching.
Wu Xie scolded Old Itchy,"
"Why are you so weak? No normal person is like you. You look like a half-dead person who is terminally ill.”
Old Itchy smiled and said,"
"You haven't taken a car for three years, and you're already on such a hard road. If it were you, you would try.”
The car had been bumpy for a few hours. Other than the driver, everyone in the car had vomited.
Lin Jiu was the only one who was still encouraging him, but because of the disgusting smell in the car, he felt a little nauseous.
The car entered Mount Taibai. In the scenic area, the tour guide told everyone not to get lost.
However, Wu Xie had already finished her discussion with the tour guide and said that she wanted to travel freely. The few of them did not follow the scenic spot directly. Instead, they followed a remote mountain road nearby and crossed the mountains. At night, they arrived at a small village to live.
What Lin Jiu and the others didn't expect was that there were a few people they didn't know behind them. There were even a few people who were sitting in the tour bus earlier. They were also carrying bags of equipment and following behind them.
Wu Xie realized that one of them was an old man, the one who had fought with the shop owner over a set of safety ropes when he was buying equipment in the trading market.
It seemed like they were in the same industry.
Wu Xie told Lin Jiu about this.
She had vomited all the way in the car. Now that the mountain wind was blowing, she should feel much better walking on the mountain road, right?
Lin Jiu walked on the mountain road without any hurry. Wu Xie probably just felt a little tired.
However, when she turned around, she saw Old Itchy panting heavily. His face was pale and covered in cold sweat. Under the moonlight, his face was as pale as a dead man's, and there was no light in his eyes.
Wu Xie was really afraid that something would happen to Old Itchy, so she quickly got some water for him to drink.
Old Itchy said to Wu Xie,"
"I…It's nothing…big. Let's…continue…to…go.”
Lin Jiu could tell that something was wrong when he heard him speak intermittently.
Along the way, Old Itchy breathed into the moonlight. His eyes were lifeless as he stared straight ahead, as if he was not looking at the road at all.
Although he was walking with Wuxie, Lin Jiu, and the others, he looked like a human robot that had broken off a little. He just walked stiffly without any signs of life.
They stayed in a village for a day at night. The next day, they continued their journey and finally arrived at Snake Head Mountain.
After entering the old forest, Old Itchy found a place and dug down with a shovel.
After digging for a while, a bronze tree as thick as an arm was dug out.
The bronze tree was obviously sawed down with a hacksaw. Due to the passage of time, there were layers of bronze on it. It looked ordinary, but it was obvious that it was from thousands of years ago.
It was really strange.
Old Itchy was so tired at first that he quickly followed Lin Jiu and the others like a walking corpse.
However, ever since he dug out this bronze tree, he had been holding it in his arms. In the end, he actually became more and more energetic. His voice was loud and clear, several times louder than before, and his tone was also raised a lot.
Not only that, his footsteps were as fast as flying, and his face was ruddy. He was no longer as pale and weak as before.
Wu Xie didn't even know that Old Itchy had sold him out.
Lin Jiu knew that Old Itchy's abnormality was due to the bronze tree, but he did not expose it immediately.
They continued to move forward. At a mountain pass, they set up camp nearby and prepared to rest for the night.
Just as he was done packing up, a commotion suddenly came from the position of a big tree above. A clean bone was even thrown down from Wu Xie's head.
Old Itchy and Wu Xie hurriedly got up from the bonfire to take a look. Lin Jiu knew that it was the monkeys who were causing trouble and wanted to snatch people's bags. He ran out and shone his flashlight. Sure enough, there were already groups of monkeys, and there was a commotion in the depths of the forest...
