"Thorn Mountain has been famous for a long time, actually in ancient times!"
Xu Yan and others went all the way up the mountain, and Niu Jinjiang casually introduced the situation here.
"Legend has it that there was an emperor, maybe some kind of prince, who spent ten years with a Feng Shui master before he found this Feng Shui treasure."
"But when we were about to start building the mausoleum, thunder began to thunder in Xiaoxiao Mountain. The thunder sounded like God was angry."
"The workers were all frightened. Later, we invited the steward. The steward said that he heard the words of the mountain god from the thunder, and that they would be in trouble if they dared to damage the mountain!"
"Those in power cannot easily believe such words, so they forcefully open the mountain."
"But there was a flood in the mountains, and the water hit the huge rocks, killing many, many people!"
"Later, after nightfall, they could hear thunder and the cries of many people. Even the emperor or prince started to have nightmares after hearing it once, and even fell ill."
Xu Yan frowned after listening and found that it seemed difficult to extract any useful information from such a legend.
Niu Jingang smiled and said, "There is another version of this legend. It is said that there is a treasure in Trumpet Mountain, and there is a big monster guarding the treasure. The thunder and floods are all caused by the big monster's spells."
"In short, we have found out that many people have tried to visit this mountain range, but something happened to them."
"Slowly, Trumpet Mountain in this mountain range became a restricted area, but it did not become a tomb."
Xu Yan finally got useful information and raised his eyebrows: "Then you won't meet a native master?"
"Haha, yes!" Niu Jinjiang said with a smile: "Tufuzi are the most pervasive, but there are no successful tombs here, so naturally no one comes. This is a good thing."
"There are actually not many places like this, which is why it is somewhat famous among treasure hunters."
"But the mountains here are steep and the terrain is complicated. It has been difficult to determine which mountain Trumpet Mountain is."
Xu Yan was curious when he heard this, "Then how did you find it? Did you go in?"
"We haven't reached the deepest point yet and we were not fully prepared, so we had to retreat first. You just happened to call me."
Niu Jingang said with a smile: "We just found it bit by bit, using a treasure hunter's compass."
"Besides, before I separated from you last time, I had a dream about this location!"
"???" Xu Yan was shocked, but seeing that he didn't seem to be joking, he couldn't help but wonder: "Did you really dream about it?"
At this time, Ergou finally couldn't help it anymore and came up to him and said, "Doctor Xu, we are right, we found that when I am with you, I seem to become a little stronger!"
"So we came to the conclusion that you might have been born to be our mascot!"
"..." Xu Yan had a lump in his throat and didn't know how to vomit.
Why did he become a mascot out of nowhere?
But Er Gou and Lao San clearly had serious eyes, and Hong Lian also turned his head away slightly, seeming to be holding back a smile.
Xu Yan's expression was very strange.
But Niu Jingang pushed the two dogs away, came closer and said with a smile: "Seriously, Dr. Xu, do you understand what's going on?"
"Why are the four of us with you, and our special martial arts will be vaguely strengthened?"
"I didn't understand!" Xu Yan shook his head, this was really weird.
Normally, he shouldn't have any direct relationship with Niujiadong, but his Qi seems to be able to affect the Niu family brothers and sisters. I don't know why.
"By the way, you said before that the person this time is related to your life experience?"
Niu Jingang smiled expectantly and said, "Maybe in the end we will find out that your life experience is actually related to our Niujiadong!"
"..." Xu Yan didn't say a word, but he thought it was absolutely impossible!
There is no overlap between his childhood memories and the situation in Niujiadong!
But it doesn’t matter if Niu Jingang has such expectations, he can think whatever he wants, maybe it will become motivation!
As he went deeper into the mountains and forests, Xu Yan gradually realized how complicated it was here.
There was no ready-made road to walk on, and there were not many traces of where the brothers and sisters had walked before. Almost everything had been re-covered by wildly growing vegetation.
And what’s different from the previous treasure hunt is that here there are real mountains and dense forests.
Even though the five of them are all good warriors, they are still a little short of each other on the road.
After two days of struggling like this, Niu Jin finally pointed to a mountain peak in front of him and said, "Doctor Xu, look, that's Trumpet Mountain!"
Xu Yan looked over and saw that the overall shape of the mountain was indeed like a big trumpet, and the valley formed by the depression in the middle was like the hollow part in the middle of the trumpet.
This made Xu Yan sigh with emotion at the uncanny craftsmanship of nature. It is hard to imagine how this mountain shape was formed bit by bit.
"Let's go quickly. Look at the weather, it may rain again soon!"
Niu Jingang exhaled and said with a smile: "There are caves on both sides of the valley when you enter. You can shelter from the wind and rain, and you can also take a rest. Make good arrangements!"
Xu Yan glanced at the sky and couldn't see any clues, but he would not doubt Niu Jingang's judgment. After all, he was a professional treasure hunter and must be very experienced in this area.
After spending a lot of effort to reach the huge valley and stepping into it, Xu Yan couldn't help but sigh again.
This place is said to be a valley, but in fact the middle area is very wide and gradually narrows towards the depth, finally forming a huge trumpet shape.
The vegetation on both sides is also very lush, but the middle is relatively flat. I don't know if it is an illusion, but there is an inexplicable coolness when entering it, and it feels gloomy.
Niu Jingang and others began to look for a suitable cave to rest. After all, they wanted the people behind the place, and there was no guarantee when those people would follow. Of course, they had to find some more secluded locations.
Xu Yanze habitually activated the qi-watching technique again and observed the qi movement of the entire Xiaoxiao Mountain.
At first glance, I didn’t think there was anything wrong with it, but the energy gathered around it really met Niu Jingang’s and others’ standards for a feng shui treasure land.
But upon closer inspection, Xu Yan suddenly felt dizzy!
After careful analysis, he discovered that there was a strange bloody smell in the middle of the bell-mouth canyon!
The smell of this blood is very light, but it is distributed very widely.
It's like it was once thick and thick, but has become thinner over time.
Xu Yan frowned, wondering if all the legends were true? Is there really something magical about this trumpet mouth, so much so that it killed many people and created such a dynamic?
But this kind of thing is really difficult to explore and distinguish. Xu Yan observed carefully and couldn't find any key points in the distribution of blood energy, so he simply stopped thinking about it.
He hesitated for a moment and thought it would be better to mention Niu Jingang to someone else. After all, if he said it now, it would be a bit disturbing to the morale of the army.
They have to stir up trouble and wait for an opportunity to deal with the half-step master. The pressure is already high enough.
The mountain rain came quickly, but fortunately Niu Jingang had already found a hidden cave, which was enough for a few people to rest.
As soon as a few people hid in the cave, the rain became heavier and heavier, and soon it poured down like a torrent.
"Brother Niu, when you looked at the sky before, it was clearly sunny, how did you tell it was raining?" Xu Yan looked at the rain for a while and turned back to ask curiously.
Niu Jingang smiled and said: "Do you think it's my special martial arts that work again?"
"Actually, it's a bit intuitive, but it's mainly because I asked about it. At this time of year, there is a lot of rain!"
"Coupled with some experiences of walking in the wild, such as rocks returning to the tide, I came to this conclusion."
Seeing Xu Yan suddenly nodding, he said seriously: "Doctor Xu, what specific news does that person have? What regulations do you have, let's talk about it now?"
The cave is three to five meters above the ground. Xu Yan was looking down at the ground of the canyon. He shook his head when he heard this: "Don't worry, you must be tired from traveling back and forth. Let's rest first and take a nap before talking."
Niu Jingang and the others didn't have any objections, so they just took a rest first.
But Xu Yan was still looking at the rain curtain at the entrance of the cave, or to be precise, looking at the canyon ground.
Rain, a very normal natural phenomenon, was viewed by the ancients as a kind of intersection of yin and yang between heaven and earth.
This view holds that when it rains, the qi of the heaven and earth are out of order!
In many cases, such as health maintenance and spiritual practice, it is necessary to avoid heavy rainy days.
Xu Yan didn't think anything of it before, but at this moment, he discovered that the energy of the canyon was obviously changing!
And, it seems to be getting more and more confusing!
This made Xu Yan feel very uneasy, but he didn't understand why this was happening.
Is it possible that some big monster will jump out of Trumpet Mountain?
