Chapter 123 Space in the Mountainside
"Whether it's there or not, when you come here, you have to look for it."
Even so, Wang Guan did not rush to search. Instead, he sat down and drank water to regain his strength.
After resting for half an hour, he took out a small shovel and worked hard to cut through the thorns. He opened a small passage and reached the center of the mountain col.
Standing in it, Wang Guan looked around, but couldn't see anything unusual about the entire col.
At this time, Wang Guan lamented that he was not the legendary gold-touching captain. Otherwise, with the Dragon Seeking Technique and the technique of dividing gold and fixing acupoints, he might be able to find the specific location of the buried treasure at a glance.
"Fortunately, there is still one last trick." Wang Guan breathed out, concentrated on it, activated his special ability, and slowly scanned the surroundings with his own body as the center.
A stream of Qi penetrated into the surface like water, one meter, two meters, three meters... When it reaches a depth of four or five meters, it can no longer be detected. This is because the mud layer in this mountain col is relatively loose.
If it were that kind of hard mud, I'm afraid it wouldn't be able to penetrate to such a deep depth.
While scanning, Wang Guan could clearly see rocks, grass roots, earthworms and other things buried underground, but there was no trace of the legendary treasure.
Soon, three minutes passed. Wang Guan felt exhausted and felt a little dizzy on his forehead. Knowing that the critical point was reached, he quickly closed his special abilities and closed his eyes to rest.
Since the upgrade of his special ability, this feeling of weakness and exertion has rarely happened. After rubbing his eyebrows and resting for more than ten minutes, Wang Guan felt a little better.
"It's purely self-inflicted."
Wang Guan laughed to himself, if there were no treasures here, he would be in big trouble.
After a few more minutes, he continued to use his special ability and started searching again. For most of the next half day, Wang Guan repeated this over and over again, constantly expanding the scanning range. Starting from the center of the mountain col, he moved in four directions: southeast, northwest and northwest.
spread.
Every time he used his special abilities to search, Wang Guan would tell himself that this was the last time and he would definitely be able to find the treasure. However, every time, his wish failed and he was very disappointed.
However, in the process of using special abilities, exhausting himself, resting, and continuing to use special abilities, Wang Guan found that his special abilities seemed to have improved somewhat. The time limit for using special abilities had doubled, and it was visible
The range also extends to a depth of six to seven meters.
Therefore, the further back he went, the more relaxed Wang Guan felt, giving him the feeling of an unexpected surprise and a worthwhile trip.
Of course, there is an old saying that when the human heart is insufficient, the snake swallows the elephant, which shows that there is no limit to human greed. Wang Guan also has this mentality to a certain extent, hoping that double happiness will come to his door, while improving his special abilities, he can also find treasures smoothly.
However, the final result made Wang Guan very disappointed.
From the bright morning sun to the sunset and dusk now, not counting the time it took to get here, the process of searching for treasures in the col was about seven or eight hours.
Wang Guan's hard work can be described as overcoming thorns and thorns. He opened up several trails among the weeds and thorns in the mountain col, and carefully searched the entire mountain col, covering an area of nearly a hundred square meters in the southeast, northwest and northwest.
However, in the entire col formation, in addition to sand, there were only weed roots, gravel, earthworms, sandworms and the like. Not to mention treasures, not even a pheasant or hare was seen.
"Sure enough, I was deceived." Wang Guan sighed, but he didn't give up. He turned on his special ability again and started searching again. This time, he scanned for ten minutes and exceeded the limit. Unfortunately, he still found nothing.
At the end, Wang Guan felt his eyes go dark, the sky was spinning, his body swayed, and he almost fell. When Wang Guan's body was shaky, he was like a drowning man, waving his hands in a panic, and firmly grasping a piece of weeds.
That's why I didn't fall down.
Finally, Wang Guan came back to his senses, opened his eyes and found that he had reached the bottom of a mountain. At this time, he was leaning against a mountain wall, grabbing a few weeds growing on the wall with both hands.
, so he didn’t fall to the ground.
"Mountain wall..."
For a moment, Wang Guan trembled, and suddenly he had hope again. Guanggu searched in the strata, but he forgot that in the chaotic situation at that time, how could there be so much time for someone to dig for the treasure?
Buried in a pit.
If there are already caves in the mountains and mountain walls, it would be relatively simple and easy to just put things inside and seal the entrance of the cave.
Of course, this is just Wang Guan's speculation, and he also knows that this is the last glimmer of hope. If there is no treasure in the mountain, then he can go back home in despair.
After resting for a while, Wang Guan walked to the empty area of the mountain col and carefully looked at the five mountains surrounding the mountain col. This was his last attempt. No matter what the result was, whether he could find the treasure or not, he had to leave and go to a nearby mountain village.
Stay overnight.
After all, Wang Guan was not a real donkey traveler. He only carried enough water and dry food in his backpack. He did not dare to sleep in the wild mountains without a tent.
Although there are not many venomous snakes and beasts on the mountain due to human logging, the bites of mosquitoes are even more severe. Moreover, it is winter now and we are in the mountains. Without bedding, the first half of the night may be bearable, but the second half of the night will be painful.
It's so cold that I can't sleep. I'm afraid I'll get sick from the cold, which will be even more troublesome.
After looking at it, Wang Guan found that among the five mountains surrounding the col, four were relatively small, and only the mountain in the middle was majestic and towering, and was most likely to contain caves.
At this moment, Wang Guan no longer hesitated, turned on his special ability, and started searching bit by bit from bottom to top.
At the beginning, he didn't find anything, but when he reached the mountainside, Wang Guan felt that his precious energy loosened, as if he had penetrated the rock and came to a space.
"As expected."
Wang Guan was surprised at first, and then overjoyed. When he was about to activate his treasure energy and continue to explore the space, he found that his energy was slowly drying up.
At the same time, the sun was about to set on the top of the mountain, and the sky had become dark. Wang Guan had no choice but to sigh helplessly, put away his special ability, firmly remember the position, and then reluctantly returned along the original path.
It was much easier to leave than to come. Because the traces of coming up were still there, Wang Guan just walked back along them.
Soon after, Wang Guan came to the village with only twenty or thirty households. At this moment, the entire sky was dark, there was no moon, but a few stars could be seen shining in the sky.
Wang Guan knocked on the door of a house with a shy face. The people in the mountains were simple, and he was very surprised to see Wang Guan. Fortunately, in recent years, donkey travelers often traveled across the mountains and ridges, and occasionally came to this mountain village.
That family also had experience in this area. Instead of turning Wang Guan away, they welcomed him warmly. However, the conditions of the family in the mountains were definitely not very good and there were no spare rooms for him. Wang Guan also expected this.
, borrowed a straw mat and laid it on the floor in an empty area of the hall.
One night, Wang Guan basically lost sleep. Not only because of environmental problems, but also because he was thinking about the cave in the mountains.
At this time, he was already 90% sure that there must be treasure hidden in the cave. However, he was not afraid of ten thousand, just in case. Who knows whether the cave was formed by accident, maybe it was empty and contained nothing.
.
That's it, Wang Guan was worried about gains and losses, tossing and turning. Finally, he fell asleep in a daze.
However, it seemed that not long after, Wang Guan heard the sound of a rooster crowing.
Hearing the noise coming from the side, Wang Guan woke up. When he opened his eyes, he found that the sky outside was still dark and the sun had not come out yet. He took out his phone again and saw that it was only half past five in the morning.
However, at this time, more than 20 families in the mountains had already gotten up, boiled water, washed, and started making breakfast.
The family where he stayed overnight also got up early to work. Wang Guan was too embarrassed to sleep too much, so he got up and washed his face and brushed his teeth. Applying cold water to his face made him wake up completely.
The family was very enthusiastic and made a breakfast for Wang Guan. Although it was not very rich, just simple white rice porridge with pickled pickled vegetables, Wang Guan ate it very well.
Then, Wang Guan packed up his things and prepared to leave.
Originally, he wanted to leave some money for accommodation expenses, but the family insisted not to do so. In desperation, Wang Guan rummaged through his backpack and gave some unused gadgets to the children of that family as gifts, and then he was grateful.
Leave.
After leaving the mountain village, Wang Guan walked in a hurry, running and climbing. Finally, twenty minutes later, he came back to the mountain col. Then, he walked to the halfway point of the mountain.
After that, Wang Guan turned on his special ability, and the precious energy penetrated into the space in the ground and was slowly detected.
Paying careful attention, Wang Guan saw that the space was a winding tunnel. The tunnel was very long and he didn't know where it led. However, there were several corpses scattered near the exit of the tunnel.
Seeing the situation, Wang Guan was a little shocked, and his special ability was also interrupted. However, after calming down his frightened mood, he felt an indescribable ecstasy in his heart, feeling that he was 100% in the right place.
After looking around and finding no one there, Wang Guan started digging without saying a word.
"Click, click..."
The small steel shovel sank into the soil easily, which showed that this layer of soil was relatively loose. Moreover, the excavated soil was also mixed with many dead branches and leaves. This made Wang Guan more certain that this layer of soil was artificially filled up.
.
"Bo!"
After digging more than one meter deep, Wang Guan felt that the shovel was empty, and a fist-sized hole immediately appeared in front of him. Then, a pungent smell of decay also wafted out from the hole.
Seeing this, Wang Guan hurriedly shoveled a few shovels to enlarge the hole, and then hid aside.
After another half hour, the stuffy air in the tunnel had dissipated. Wang Guan, nervous, uneasy, excited and joyful, carefully climbed into the hole...
