The years of reselling the haunted house

Before we figured out what was going on, the female marmot quickly jumped out of it again.This time, there was something in its mouth.

The female marmot came up to us with the thing in her mouth, and threw the thing in front of our eyes with a snap.Afterwards, the king marmot mouse left with the cub in its mouth, side by side with the female marmot mouse, and disappeared from our sight.

We were all surprised, and it took a long time to come back to our senses.

"Is this marmot mouse thanking us and giving us something?" Qian Qingfeng asked.

The third uncle has already bent down to pick up the thing that the marmot mouse gave us.

The thing was flat, covered with moss, and looked very damp. It should have been sealed in the tree hole for many years.We all gathered around and looked at the thing carefully.

The third uncle took out a knife, scraped off the moss on the thing, and took out a piece of cotton cloth to wipe the thing.

That thing must have been hidden in the tree hole for a long time. Apart from moss, there are many messy attachments on it.After finally cleaning up the attachment, the thing revealed a bit of its true face. Under the moonlight, it actually reflected a golden dark light.

Chapter 1422 Gold Token

The third uncle was taken aback: "This thing can't be gold, right? No wonder the female mouse gave it to us as a gift."

The sea wolf was also very curious, and urged: "Then wipe it again and see what it is? Why does this thing look familiar to me?"

The third uncle nodded and wiped it again, and the original appearance of the thing was slowly and completely presented in front of us.

Although there were still some things on it that hadn't been cleaned, we all recognized it after looking at it.

This is clearly another token.

"This... this..." Qian Qingfeng looked at it, quickly took the token in his hand, carefully identified it, and said, "Why is there such a token here?"

When we left Shenzhen, we saw this kind of token in Qian Qingfeng's waste collection station.That token was still found in Ma Su's office.There are some strange symbols engraved on it. After researching, Qian Qingfeng concluded that the symbols are a kind of lost characters, and should belong to a kingdom that has also disappeared.

And it is said that in addition to Ma Di's token, such tokens also appeared in the homes or offices of other missing people.

Therefore, in addition to looking for Ma Su and others, our purpose is to trace the origin and function of this token.

That token has been kept in Liang Yue's hands, and the token found in the tree hole is obviously another one.

Although the token is not in our hands, we have all seen the token, and it hasn't been long, so it is still fresh in our memory.The style of the token and the symbols and patterns on it are basically the same as the one in Liang Yue's hand.

In particular, Qian Qingfeng has personally studied this kind of token, and he is extremely familiar with this token.After Qian Qingfeng's confirmation, we also concluded that the two tokens are of the same style.

We all took the token from Qian Qingfeng's hand and looked at it. After Sea Wolf took the token and looked at it for a long time, he actually sent it to his mouth.

When Qian Qingfeng saw it, he hurriedly snatched the token: "Sea Wolf, what are you doing?"

The sea wolf said: "Let me bite it and see if it is gold. If it is gold, it will be worth a lot of money."

I smiled and said, "Brother Wolf, I don't know how many years this thing has been hidden in this tree hole. The things on it haven't been cleaned up yet, so you won't be afraid of being poisoned if you just eat it like this?"

Sea Wolf nodded: "That's right. But I think this thing is really gold, and the weight is not light. It's heavy."

The third uncle shook his head: "Gold and silver are actually not that important. The important thing is, why did this kind of token appear in this tree hole? What does it have to do with the token in Liang Yue's hand?"

Qian Qingfeng said: "At that time, I judged that this token belonged to a dynasty. Now that this token has been found here, it can only show one problem, that is, we are getting closer and closer to breaking the truth of this dynasty. It also shows that it is completely correct for us to take this route.”

Seeing that we were studying this token here, Sea Wolf said impatiently: "I said, why do you guys have such big hearts? What's the situation now? The girls are all lost, so what's the point of researching? Why don't you hurry up? Withdraw, there is still time to find the girl and study these things."

The third uncle listened and shook his head: "Sea wolf. Even if Liang Yue is here, she must want to find out about this token. Since we got this token by chance, if we leave here, I'm afraid the clues will be lost." Much less. My opinion is, first find out the situation here, at least figure out the origin of this token, and then leave here."

I nodded: "I agree with the third uncle's opinion. Since this token appears here, it is very likely that this area is related to that so-called dynasty. Ma Di and his group's target is also likely to be here."

Sea Wolf glanced at Qian Qingfeng.

Qian Qingfeng also said: "Hailang, you know, Chairman Wu is kind to me, I have long made up my mind to bring the girl back safely. Therefore, I am no less worried than you when the girl is missing. But Li Yang is right. , this place is very likely to be very close to the clue of the token, if we leave without finding anything, even if we find the girl, the girl will definitely blame us."

Sea Wolf had no choice but to wave his hand: "Okay, okay, what you said is right. Then look for it quickly, where are the clues?"

We know that Hailang's character is like this, and he has been very anxious about Liang Yue's disappearance. Naturally, we don't care if he says something out of line.So we focus on this token again.

The third uncle held up the token and cleaned it up again. This time, the original appearance of the token was basically revealed.And besides what we have already discovered, no other clues have been found.

I looked around, and after the marmot mouse king left here with his wife and children, he never appeared again.Presumably, it should not appear again in the future, and the relationship between it and us should have come to an end.

And the site still has the remains of those spike vines we burned.

I thought about it, and walked to the old locust tree where the female marmot mouse took out the token.On the tree, there is a big tree hole, and a basketball can be stuffed into the hole.

The female marmot mouse and the young marmot mouse were trapped in this tree hole.

I turned on the torch and took a picture inside.The tree hole should have been formed for many years, the space inside is larger, and there are many broken leaves.

As he approached the tree hole, he could immediately smell an unpleasant stench.

At the top of the tree hole, drops of water are dripping down.The water drops fell to the bottom of the tree hole and quickly seeped down.I don't know where this drop of water comes from, is it the sap of this old locust tree?Or a natural dew?

Apart from these, nothing else was seen in the tree hole.

Therefore, I think that the reason why the two marmot mice were trapped here and survived should be that they have been taking this kind of water drops to maintain their lives.

Thinking of this, I had an idea.

Those vines are entangled with this old tree, and the tree hole should have been sealed for a long time.Although the two marmots didn't know why they came here, they could imagine that it definitely wasn't just a day or two.Because of the foul smell, I suspected it was the feces of these two marmots.

They need to live here for at least a few days to develop such a strong taste.

However, the female marmot I saw just now was still moving very quickly, and her voice was also very loud, and it didn't look like she hadn't eaten for many days.And the little marmot mouse did not starve to death because of not eating.

Obviously, it was the drops of water dripping from the tree that provided enough energy for the two marmots, one big and one small.

Chapter 1423 Four Tokens

If this is the case, is this kind of water drop also a good thing?I took out a bottle of mineral water from my backpack. I drank this bottle of water on the way to and from Mobei by car. After drinking it, I stuffed the empty bottle into my backpack.This came in handy, I put the bottle in the tree hole to catch the dripping water.

The speed of this water drop is not slow, but it will take a while to fill a bottle of water.So I left this tree and walked to several other old locust trees.

The spike vines twining around the three old locust trees were also ignited, and they have fallen off now.

I walked to another tree and unexpectedly found that there was also a tree hole of similar size on this old locust tree.

I felt strange and looked at the other two trees.

As a result, the four old pagoda trees growing in the land under our feet have a tree hole in their bodies.

"Third Uncle, come and have a look."

I hurriedly told a few of them about this discovery, and summoned them.

"What's the situation, why is there still a tree hole?" Sea Wolf asked.

Qian Qingfeng pointed to several other tree holes and said, "Everyone, look for them and see if there is anything else hidden in them."

My third uncle, Sea Wolf, and I each went to an old locust tree with flashlights, and went to check in the tree hole.

The flashlight shines in the tree hole, and the situation is similar to the first tree hole.It's just that there are no marmots living in these three tree holes, so there is no such foul smell.I found a branch and rummaged through it.

I don't know what's in it, so I searched for it with the attitude of giving it a try.Who knows that I flipped inside a few times, and suddenly something was pushed out.

That thing looked like a token to me, and I hurriedly reached out and touched it out.

"Look, it seems to be another token." I shouted holding the token.

As a result, almost at the same time, Third Uncle and Sea Wolf also found out, and they both shouted.

The three of us each took what we found and gathered together, and found three more tokens that were similar to the first one.

We were all excited about this discovery and immediately started cleaning up the three tokens.

After laborious wiping, the three tokens also revealed their original appearance.

Sure enough, this was another three mysterious tokens.The above symbols and patterns remain the same.But it is different from the first token.

The first is the color. Among the three tokens, one is silver, one is bronze, and the other is iron blue.

Putting it together with the first token, four colors of gold, silver, copper and iron suddenly appeared.

Qian Qingfeng picked up a few tokens, weighed them, and said: "Gold, silver, copper, and iron have different specific gravity densities, so there are differences in weight. These should be the tokens made of these four metals. Four trees There is a token hidden in each of them, which is really incredible. Who would put this token in?"

I looked at the four trees and asked, "Mr. Qian, didn't you say that this token belongs to a dynasty that has disappeared? Could it be when that dynasty was still alive, or was it left by that dynasty?" The person who came down deliberately hid this token here?"

Qian Qingfeng nodded: "Of course it is entirely possible. I even suspect that someone deliberately planted these spike vines next to these old locust trees."

I followed Qian Qingfeng's train of thought, and suddenly understood his intentions, and continued, "Mr. Qian, you mean that someone deliberately hid the four tokens in the four old trees at that time. In the tree hole of the locust tree. And they were afraid that the token would be discovered, so they planted some spike vines beside it. Because they knew that the spike vine would grow slowly, and not only would it give the old locust tree It entangles and blocks the tree hole, and will attack people and animals passing by. When the wolf fang vine grows, it becomes the most competent protector of these four tokens."

The third uncle nodded after hearing this: "This is indeed the most reasonable explanation for what we have seen so far. It seems that the weight of these four tokens is very heavy."

Of course I know that the weight that Uncle San mentioned does not refer to the weight of the tokens, but the function of these tokens.Imagine that the person who hid these four tokens at that time must have no way to keep these tokens by himself, so he had no choice but to do so.As a matter of fact, this method of hiding tokens is indeed effective, and this token was not found by us until today.

And the reason why we can find these tokens is definitely a coincidence.Just imagine, if there is a deviation in any link in the middle, it will cause us to pass by these four tokens.

First of all, we are going to come to this devil forest, of course we have to thank Sanjin.After arriving here, I will meet the marmot mouse king again, and just in time for the female marmot mouse to be trapped in the tree hole again.And the marmot mouse king is full of aura and knows how to lead us here to rescue the two trapped marmot mice.

After we got here, we were almost entangled to death by the wolf tooth vine.

Thanks to my steamer arm, we saved the day.After successfully eradicating the wolf tooth vine, the two marmots were rescued.If the sea wolf still maintained its previous temper and killed the marmot mouse king with one shot, I'm afraid it would not have induced the female marmot mouse to take a token from the tree hole and give it to us.And once we left, naturally we couldn't find the other three tokens.

Of course, it is impossible for the female marmot to know what this token is all about.I guess it recognized that the texture of the token is gold, knowing that we humans like gold, so it gave us the token as a thank you gift.

So, all of this, when I think of it, seems to be telling a fantasy story.

However, even knowing this, we still don't know anything about the things behind that token.We just got more physical objects, from one token to four more tokens.

The third uncle said: "Anyway, since this token is the same as the one found by Ma Di's office, there must be a lot of stories in it. We will definitely find more clues if we continue to investigate. The four of us first put this Take the token with you, and continue to look down."

Qian Qingfeng nodded: "We happen to be four people. I suggest that we take these four tokens with us so that we can keep them."

With that said, Qian Qingfeng handed us the four tokens of gold, silver, copper and iron respectively, and each of us took one.I know Qian Qingfeng's intentions. If we do this, even if something happens to one of us, we won't lose all these tokens.

We received the token, and in order not to miss any clues, we searched our environment again.

As a result, we found that a lot of bones were found just outside the four old locust trees.

Chapter 1424 Passing the Mountain Pass

Judging from the shape of those bones, there are animal and human.

It is conceivable that the attack power of these vines has caused many people and animals to die when they passed by.

Before that, San Jin once said that as far as he knew, many people had entered the Devil's Forest, but after entering, they all escaped death, and very few people could get out.

I think, among these people, some of them must have found this place, and they were attacked by this kind of spike vine until they died.

Beside the bones of those people, there are still a lot of leftover equipment, which looks very miserable.

But fortunately, Liang Yue and the others were not found here, indicating that they did not come here.

We originally wanted to follow the mouse king to find clues to Liang Yue and the others, but the goal was not achieved, but we found four mysterious tokens.

It's just that as we have been separated from Liang Yue and the others for longer, our hearts have become more and more tense.

Since stepping into this so-called Devil's Forest, we have experienced a lot in just two days.The siege of golden thread toads, the underground undercurrent, and this time the wolf's tooth vine, every place is full of dangers.I don't know what will happen to Liang Yue's group, and the group of Chuanshanjia and Sanjin.

It is no exaggeration to say that if there is a slight mistake here, the price paid is definitely the price of life.

Although we have also found more and more clues, such as strange footprints on the ground, these mysterious tokens, and the stone forest shrouded in mist discovered by the sea wolves and so on.

However, the value of these clues is still insignificant compared with life.

But now that we have solved the immediate trouble of wolf tooth vine, the next step is naturally to return to the right path.The most urgent task is to find Liang Yue and the others first, and the next step can only be made after reconciling with the team.

The reason why we came here is based on the discovery of Liang Yue's exclusive flying knife on a tree.

Therefore, we deduced that Liang Yue might have chased the marmot mouse king to this side, but when we chased here, due to the wolf tooth vines blocking the way, even at the end, Liang Yue and the others were not found here.

From this, it can be deduced that it might be the mouse king who also wanted to lure Liang Yue and Zhong Xiaofeng to this side.Perhaps in the heart of the marmot mouse king, we are all the same person, we all have extraordinary abilities, and we can get rid of these wolf-toothed vines, so as to rescue the two trapped marmot mice.

We thought we were going the same way as Liang Yue, but in fact we didn't know what happened in the middle. Liang Yue didn't follow her all the way, so we deviated from the way we took her.

Then it's time to make a choice again for our next action.

Sea Wolf's opinion is still to return to the original camp. He said that there must be some details on the road that he didn't notice. If he checks carefully, he should be able to find clues to Liang Yue.

And by observing the surrounding environment, in addition to these few old trees, we also found a mountain pass.

These old trees grew under several cliffs. The cliffs were steep and stretched out, and there seemed to be a lot of fog in the distance.Only a faint mountain pass was exposed, and we shone it with a flashlight, but even such a strong flashlight could not penetrate the darkness in the mountain pass.

The third uncle kept staring into the mountain pass, obviously he and Sea Wolf had different opinions on the next action.

Sure enough, the third uncle stared at the mountain pass for a while, then turned around and asked Qian Qingfeng: "Mr. Qian, do you think the so-called Devil Forest is also connected to the mountain and the mountain pass?"

The third uncle's inexplicable question first stunned Qian Qingfeng, and then replied: "It's normal to be connected to the mountain. Our location should not be far from the real Jiayuguan. Jiayuguan is known as the most magnificent pass in the world. It is connected to the mountains, with the mountains as the trend, located in the Hexi Corridor, sandwiched between the Qilian Mountains and the Beishan Mountains, and there are many passes through the mountains with canyons and dangerous slopes forcing the way."

The third uncle nodded, pointed to the mountain pass in front of him, and asked again: "Then you said, which mountain and river should this mountain pass belong to?"
