Dream Legend

Chapter 30 Searching for the Touchstone

After dinner, the five members of the Divine Circle Group sat in Wu Shandi's room and summarized the gains and losses of today's search for the touchstone and Jihai Green Stone on Mount Qi. Du Xiaoyong began to speak: "Today's trip to Mount Qi was very hard and hard. Although we did not find the touchstone and Jihai Green Stone, we still had an unexpected gain, a rare yellow meteorite in the world. This shows that as long as you pay the price, you will get a good return. Tomorrow, we will continue to search for the touchstone and Jihai Green Stone on Mount Qi, but we must change today's strategy and clearly divide the work. Tomorrow, Wu Dui, Lin Fan and I will go to the front of the mountain to search, and He Juan and Sun Jingjing will do logistics support work in today's rest pavilion, responsible for ordering lunch and keeping some equipment and items or asking for help when we encounter an emergency. The above are our work plans and arrangements for tomorrow. If you have any opinions, please feel free to raise them." Everyone felt that Du Xiaoyong's work arrangements were very thoughtful, and there was no opinion to raise.

Wu Shandi led Du Xiaoyong and the other five people to head towards Qishan again. They walked to the rest pavilion where they had been yesterday. They left some equipment and items in the rest pavilion and gave them to He Juan and Sun Jingjing for safekeeping. Wu Shandi suggested going to the area where the yellow meteorite was picked up yesterday. They had walked halfway yesterday, but because He Juan happened to encounter the yellow meteorite, they gave up halfway. The terrain in that area is complex, and it is difficult for ordinary people to walk in. There is no ready-made road. If you don't mark it when you come, it is estimated that it will be difficult to find the way back. Yesterday, because of He Juan's burden, Wu Shandi and Du Xiaoyong's speed of advancement was relatively slow. Today is very different. Wu Shandi, Du Xiaoyong, and Lin Fan are all basketball players. They have good physical fitness and no worries. They are still relatively easy to get to. The three of them walked to the place where He Juan fell into the cave yesterday. Wu Shandi pointed at the cave entrance and said to Lin Fan with a smile: "Lin Fan, look, this is the cave entrance where He Juan fell yesterday. The traces next to it are still faintly visible. We must be very careful and never repeat the same mistake as yesterday." Lin Fan joked to Wu Shandi: "Captain Wu, why are you still singing The Sound of the Waves Remains the Same? Can I still board your passenger ship with my old ticket..." Du Xiaoyong glanced at Wu Shandi and Lin Fan without saying anything. Lin Fan joked to Du Xiaoyong: "What are you looking at?" "What's wrong with me looking at you?" Du Xiaoyong replied with a smile. Wu Shandi couldn't help laughing and said to the two of them: "Hurry up and get on your way." The three brothers walked while talking and laughing.

The further they walked, the steeper the slope became. The stones on the ground were uneven, and there was some ice, so it was very slippery to walk on. Fortunately, the three of them wore non-slip spiked shoes, which did not have much impact on them. Wu Shandi's dragon collar energy had already searched the area in all directions without blind spots, and Wu Shandi was looking forward to the appearance of good news. In fact, everyone had been looking forward to good news. Wu Shandi, Du Xiaoyong, and Lin Fan slowly climbed to the highest point of the area. On the other side of the highest point was an almost vertical cliff, which was a bit frightening to look at. If you were not careful, you would be crushed to pieces in an instant. The infinite scenery is on the dangerous peaks, and you can only appreciate the different scenery by not taking the ordinary road. To be honest, at this time, Wu Shandi, Du Xiaoyong, and Lin Fan were in no mood to see any scenery. They wanted to find the touchstone and Jihai Green Stone immediately. The area covered by Wu Shandi's dragon collar energy was getting larger and larger. He searched slowly, and Wu Shandi and the other three slowly followed. Suddenly snowflakes started to float in the sky. Lin Fan said, "Why is it snowing? The weather forecast said that it will be cloudy and then sunny today." Du Xiaoyong looked at the snowflakes flying all over the sky and said to Wu Shandi and Du Xiaoyong, "The terrain of Qishan is complex. It is normal for the weather to be sunny, rainy and snowy. Let's put on our raincoats. If the snow lasts too long, we will retreat. Lin Fan, call He Juan and ask them if it's snowing there?" Lin Fan sent a message to He Juan asking her: Is it snowing there? He Juan replied immediately. Lin Fan said to Wu Shandi and Du Xiaoyong, "He Juan said that the sky is clearing up there." Du Xiaoyong answered confidently, "This snow will not last for half an hour. I guarantee that the sky will clear up in half an hour."

Snow flakes were falling in front of them. How could the three of them have the mood to appreciate such a beautiful scene? Wu Shandi tried to activate the energy of the dragon and phoenix collar and send it out to search at the same time. Wu Shandi seemed to feel that the energy was more sufficient and stronger, and his body felt more relaxed, and the energy was more freely sent and received. Wu Shandi received the feedback information from the dragon and phoenix collar energy. There was a search target under the cliff in front, and the search target was round in shape, with a diameter of about three meters, and it was exposed on the surface. Wu Shandi couldn't believe that there was such a large touchstone or Jihai Green Stone. Wu Shandi happily said to Du Xiaoyong and Lin Fan: "The information feedback shows that there is a search target under the cliff, with a diameter of about three meters. Is there such a large piece of touchstone?" Du Xiaoyong was a little skeptical when he heard Wu Shandi's words. From the previous data, there was indeed no such a large piece. Could the search information be wrong? Du Xiaoyong replied: "Let's find it and see it with our own eyes, so that it will be clear to the world." Wu Shandi nodded to agree with Du Xiaoyong's words.

It's easier said than done. Under the cliffs, you have to climb over the cliffs to find it. It's impossible to go down directly. Only by going around the mountain can you reach the search target. Du Xiaoyong said to Wu Shandi and Lin Fan: "We now know the location of the search target. We can only go around the mountain and find ways to get under the cliffs. It's just a matter of time. Captain Wu, can you measure the straight-line distance from our current position to the search target?" Wu Shandi used the energy measurement feedback information of the collar to show 1,500 meters. Wu Shandi told Du Xiaoyong: "About 1,500 meters." Du Xiaoyong gestured on the map with a pen, took out a draft book and listed a function formula to calculate how many kilometers it would take to go around the mountain? Du Xiaoyong quickly concluded that it would take 20 kilometers to go around the mountain. Du Xiaoyong showed the calculation results to Wu Shandi and Lin Fan. Lin Fan was shocked and said, "Twenty kilometers, so far. How long will it take?" "It's not far, actually. We calculate it based on walking six kilometers per hour, which will take about three and a half hours. It's 9:40 am now, and we expect to arrive before 1:30 pm. Some downhill sections will be faster." Wu Shandi really admired Du Xiaoyong's use of mathematics so profoundly. Du Xiaoyong also instructed Lin Fan, "Lin Fan, send a message to He Juan and the others, tell them that we will not go back to the rest pavilion for lunch, we will move towards the target, and the location is..." Lin Fan sent a message to He Juan according to what Du Xiaoyong said.

The snow continued to fall. Wu Shandi, Du Xiaoyong and Lin Fan followed the route planned by Du Xiaoyong. Wu Shandi used the energy of the dragon and phoenix collar to locate the route so as not to deviate too much. First, they had to cross a small stone mountain. The stones along the way were rugged and uneven. It was snowing again. The snowflakes fell on the stones, which were wet and slippery. If they were not careful, they would fall and there was a risk of falling down the mountain. Wu Shandi, the third person, was not afraid of difficulties and continued to climb up. Because it was an uphill road, he naturally walked very slowly, but safety was the first priority. Just as the three of them walked to the middle of the slope, the snow suddenly stopped. After a while, the sky cleared up, and the stone mountain was particularly charming under the sunshine. They finally climbed up the stone mountain, but it was more difficult to go down the mountain. As the saying goes, it is easy to go up the mountain but difficult to go down the mountain. Because of the slippery reason, when going down the mountain, the body will lean forward due to the center of gravity. The feet must be braked hard, otherwise they will rush down the slope. Du Xiaoyong quickly asked Wu Shandi and Du Xiaoyong to stop, and broke off a few branches from the tree to make three rough crutches, one for each person, so that they could use the branches to support themselves when going downhill, so that they would not rush downhill in danger due to the lack of brakes. Relying on the simple crutches made by Du Xiaoyong, the three of them walked down the stone mountain steadily.

According to Du Xiaoyong's route map, after descending the Stone Mountain, they had to pass through a pine forest. The three of them came to the pine forest. The dense pine trees blocked out the sun, and the ground was covered with a thick layer of pine needles. It was very soft to step on. Wu Shandi was worried that he would sink. Wu Shandi used the energy of the dragon and phoenix collar to navigate, and the signal of the search target was getting stronger and stronger. Wu Shandi knew that they were very close to the destination. It would take about half an hour to arrive. Du Xiaoyong took out the navigation route map he derived with mathematics, compared it to find the towering cliffs, and told Wu Shandi and Lin Fan: "There are about three kilometers left. If everything goes well, it will probably take half an hour to reach the destination. Let's take a good rest here, eat something to replenish our energy, and then sprint for the final victory." Lin Fan listened to Du Xiaoyong's words and said to Du Xiaoyong with a smile: "Xiaoyong, you are a living navigation. You know where to go, as if you have been here before. It's really not confusing to follow you." "Lin Fan, eat more to fill your stomach, don't talk nonsense, eat enough so that we can hurry on." Du Xiaoyong urged Lin Fan, and Lin Fan quickly devoured the bread. After a rare few minutes of rest, the three of them continued on their way and walked out of the pine forest. Not far ahead was the bottom of the cliff. To reach the bottom of the cliff, they had to wade through a two or three meter wide river. For basketball players, it was too easy for them to jump over it as soon as they started running.

The energy of Wu Shandi's dragon and phoenix collar showed that the search target was within reach. Wu Shandi moved forward according to the energy navigation. Du Xiaoyong and Lin Fan followed closely behind him and walked along the upstream of the stream. When they reached the end of the upstream of the stream, they were under the cliffs. It turned out that this stream was an underground river that gushed out from under the cliffs. The cave entrance was about 1.5 meters high and 4 or 5 meters wide. It was winter now, and the river was not deep. The river on both sides of the cave entrance was dry. Wu Shandi pointed to the cave entrance and said to Du Xiaoyong and Lin Fan: "The search target is inside. Get your flashlights ready and let's go in." Because the cave entrance was only about 1.5 meters high, the three of them had to crawl in one by one. After crawling about 20 meters, they found that the cave height had increased by 4 or 5 meters and the cave width was more than 10 meters. The further they went inside, the wider it became. The river gradually disappeared. It was really a different world. Wu Shandi led Du Xiaoyong and Lin Fan to continue moving forward. The light of the flashlight shone on the cave wall not far ahead, and they found that the end of the cave was in front. The flashlight shone on the ground, which was shining black. There was a large pile of black stones with a diameter of about three meters. The target location of Wu Shandi's dragon and phoenix collar energy search was here. This pile of black stones was the touchstone. This pile of stones was the touchstone, estimated to be more than ten tons. When the three of them saw so many touchstones, their minds went blank, followed by a burst of surprise.

Lin Fan suddenly laughed out loud: "Hahahahahahaha, we're rich..." The sound of Lin Fan's laughter echoed in the cave and scared Wu Shandi and Du Xiaoyong. Du Xiaoyong scolded Lin Fan loudly: "Lin Fan, are you crazy? You scared us to death by doing this all of a sudden." Lin Fan smiled embarrassedly and said, "I'm too excited. I really can't control my emotions. Sorry." Wu Shandi took off the cloth bag on his body and said to Du Xiaoyong and Lin Fan: "Hurry up and pack the touchstones. Pack as many as you can." Lin Fan saw so many touchstones and murmured to himself: "I can't pack so many touchstones. I can't carry too many if I pack too many." Du Xiaoyong also realized this problem and said to Wu Shandi and Lin Fan: "Captain Wu, Lin Fan, let's pack three small cloth bags and each of us carry one small cloth bag. If we pack too many, we can't carry it and the bags can't bear it. What's more, we still have a few hours' journey. We can get the ones left tomorrow or next time. Just think of it as our big treasury." Wu Shandi and Lin Fan agreed. In order to hurry up and get down the mountain before dark, the three of them each carried a small cloth bag of touchstones out of the cave. Don't underestimate these three small cloth bags of touchstones, which are worth tens of millions.

Qishan Mountain, as the sun sets, is glittering with golden light and exceptionally beautiful. On the small path of Qishan Mountain, there are three porters carrying cloth bags on their backs. Walking on the rugged stone road, they can hear shouts and singing from time to time. Wu Shandi, Du Xiaoyong and Lin Fan, carrying small cloth bags of touchstones, strolled in the mountains and forests, strolling leisurely, not feeling tired at all. What they are carrying on their shoulders are not heavy stones but glittering touchstones, which makes them full of strength. Wu Shandi and the other three, who He Juan and Sun Jingjing had been looking forward to, finally appeared. Seeing that the cloth bags they were carrying were bulging, they naturally knew that they had harvested a lot today. He Juan and Sun Jingjing were overjoyed and sang a song "True Hero": "I once had a dream in my heart..." Everyone's face was filled with happy smiles. The dream of the Shenquan Group was finally going to come true, and the Shenquan Company was about to open. After waiting for so long, everyone's own dreams were finally going to be realized, and everyone's first pot of gold in their lives would be realized. When dreams come true, happiness will follow!
