Wu Yu Saves the World

Chapter 195: Grave Robbers' Chronicles Qi Yu 77

Wu Xie and his group hiked deep into the mountains, and every step they took seemed heavy and firm.

They passed through the dense jungle, crossed the rugged ridge, and finally came to a place.

Wu Xie stopped and fixed his gaze on the mountain in front of him. There was an indescribable shock in his eyes.

The mountain before them was exactly the same as the one they had seen in the murals in the underwater tomb, as if time had stopped here, reappearing the scene from thousands of years ago before their eyes.

Wu Xie took a deep breath and turned to ask Shunzi beside him.

"How can we get over this mountain?"

Shunzi frowned, his expression looking somewhat solemn.

He pointed to the mountain and said in a deep voice.

"This mountain is called Sansheng Mountain. The road to the top is not easy to walk on. You see, there is a probe light every ten meters on those high hills. It stretches from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain. It is all a military restricted area. And there are so many sentries that we can't get through at all."

After hearing Shunzi's words, Wu Xie and the others looked at each other in bewilderment, feeling an inexplicable sense of loss in their hearts.

However, at this moment, Uncle Chen suddenly raised the telescope in his hand and looked towards the Little Holy Mountain in the distance.

An excited look appeared on his face and he spoke loudly.

"Everyone, look at that little holy mountain! It's long and steep, covered with snow all year round, and surrounded on three sides. It's just like a rare three-headed old dragon!"

Upon hearing this, everyone raised their telescopes and looked, and saw that the small sacred mountain was indeed as Uncle Chen had described, with a winding path like a giant dragon coiled on the ground.

Wu Xie's heart moved, as if he had thought of something, and he spoke after thinking for a moment.

"From the perspective of Feng Shui, this is indeed the place where a group of dragons sit. The three mountains are all dragon heads. If there really is a great treasure hidden here, then there must be secret passages leading to the main room under the small dragon heads on both sides."

"You mean, we can reach Sansheng Mountain directly from underground?" Fatty Wang's eyes lit up and he said excitedly.

Wu Xie nodded, a determined look on his face.

"That's right! If we can find that secret passage, we can bypass the military restricted area and reach the top of Sansheng Mountain. In this way, we can not only avoid the patrol of the sentries, but also find the treasure faster."

Everyone agreed upon hearing this and began to discuss the next action plan.

Wu Xie and his group walked on the vast snowfield, treading on the thick snow, and moved firmly towards the direction of the Little Holy Mountain.

Every step they took sunk into deep snow pits, consuming a huge amount of their physical strength.

As the altitude gradually increased, the temperature became colder and the wind was as sharp as a knife, almost piercing through their clothes.

The long trek made everyone's legs gradually lose strength, and every step felt like dragging a heavy lead block.

Finally, many people could no longer hold on and fell to the ground, gasping for breath. Their bodies seemed to be surrounded by ice and snow, cold to the bone.

Night fell quickly and the group had no choice but to stay where they were.

Everyone quickly built tents on the snow and made a fire to keep out the cold.

Uncle Chen sat by the fire, holding a compass in his hand, brows furrowed, as if thinking about the next route.

Seeing this, Wu Xie walked over and handed Uncle Chen some dry food, urging him to eat something and take a rest first.

He asked curiously, "Fourth Uncle, what have you been thinking about? Do you have any ideas about Yunding Palace?"

Uncle Chen raised his head and looked at Wu Xie, with a complicated light flashing in his eyes.

He said in a deep voice: "You will understand the matter of Yunding Palace when you get there."

Wu Xie was not willing to give up and continued to ask: "I heard that you have a snake-browed bronze fish. It was my uncle who told me. How did you get this bronze fish? What is its relationship with Yunding Palace?"

Upon hearing this, Fourth Uncle Chen took a deep breath, as if recalling the past.

He slowly said, "I got the snake-browed bronze fish by accident in Wofo Ridge in Guangxi. There is an ancient stone pagoda there, and I found it by chance. After entering the stone pagoda, I found that it was full of stone statues and there was nothing valuable. However, surrounded by the stone statues, I found an eight-tone treasure box. When I opened the treasure box, the snake-browed bronze fish was lying inside."

Wu Xie listened with great interest and asked further.

"Uncle, can you tell me the whole process of discovering the snake-browed bronze fish? I'm curious if there are any secrets that we don't know about."

However, Uncle Chen shook his head, his eyes revealing a hint of reservation and vigilance.

He said calmly: "There are some things you shouldn't know now. When the time is right, I will tell you."

Although Wu Xie was a little disappointed, he also understood that Uncle Chen had his own concerns.

Late at night, everything is quiet, only the breeze gently blows across the earth, bringing endless chill.

Wu Xie lay in bed, tossing and turning, but couldn't fall asleep.

He stood up, put on his military coat, and decided to go out for some fresh air.

He walked through the dim corridor and came to the sentry post outside the camp, only to see Shunzi standing there straight, his eyes sharp, guarding the peace of the camp.

Wu Xie walked forward and asked softly, "Shunzi, it's so late, why are you still standing guard?"

Shunzi turned around and saw that it was Wu Xie, so he smiled.

"Brother Xie, why are you out too? I'm used to it. When I can't sleep at night, I come out to stand guard and wake myself up."

Wu Xie nodded, sat on a rock next to Shunzi, and the two began to chat about family matters.

Shunzi told Wu Xie that he grew up in this mountain since he was a child and knew every tree and blade of grass here very well.

His father was also an experienced guide who had led countless tourists safely through this forest.

However, an accident many years ago caused his father and a group of tourists to mysteriously disappear, and their whereabouts remain unknown to this day.

Sunja took a deep breath and continued.

"Back then, my father took a group of tourists up the mountain, taking a route similar to ours this time. However, none of them came back. So many years have passed, and I have been looking for the answer. This time I am taking you into the mountain to find out what happened back then."

As Wu Xie listened to Shunzi's story, he couldn't help but feel sympathy and respect.

He patted Shunzi's shoulder and comforted him.

"Shunzi, I understand how you feel. In fact, I am similar to you, and I am also looking for the truth. But this is not a reason to trouble us, but a motivation for us to strive forward."

In secret, Qi Yu, who was invisible, heard what Wu Xie said and shook his head speechlessly.

Her cheap brother can't even give some spiritual chicken soup. How is he going to find a wife in the future?

If that doesn't work, teach him to use money?
