Regarding my doubts, Long Jiu nodded and said: "You are absolutely right! There are indeed many people watching you, but the reason why I let you two come here to see me openly at this time is actually to let you
They know."
Wen Qingshan and I were both a little surprised when we heard this.
"Jiu Ye, didn't you say that it was going to be done in secret? If that's the case, why did you deliberately let them know?" I asked doubtfully.
Long Jiu smiled slightly and said: "They only know that you two came to see me, but they don't know why. But I think they will definitely strengthen their surveillance on you two. In this way, we can build the plank road openly and secretly visit Chencang."
Long Jiu put the tea cup in his hand on the coffee table and said, "We can do this. I will go to Xi'an this afternoon. You two will go back to prepare first, and then rush to Xi'an to join me."
I was slightly startled and asked in confusion: "Why are we going to Xi'an? Aren't we going to Hukou of the Yellow River?"
Long Jiu smiled and said: "Haha, let's go to Xi'an first, let them think that we are going to visit Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum again, and then a golden cicada will escape from its shell and head from Xi'an to the mouth of the Yellow River without anyone noticing."
"How does Lord Jiu plan to escape from the other party's close surveillance?" Wen Qingshan asked.
Long Jiu replied: "You don't have to worry about this. I have made arrangements. Just rush to Xi'an tomorrow!" After Long Jiu said this, he took out two tickets and handed them to us: "This is from Hunan tomorrow morning."
Direct flights from Saudi Arabia to Xi’an.”
Wen Qingshan took the ticket with both hands and said: "Since Master Jiu has already made a corresponding plan, we can just listen to Master Jiu's arrangement!"
After bidding farewell to Longjiu, Wen Qingshan and I left Biyuxuan. After returning home, we started preparing various equipment. Knowing that we were going to search for King Yu's Divine Cauldron, Jianjian also clamored to go with us, but was
I refused. On the one hand, I vaguely felt that going this time would be very dangerous, and I didn’t want Jianqian to be in any danger. On the other hand, I was worried that if Jianqian went with him, it would disrupt Long Jiu’s plan.
After all, he still had to take the lead in this matter.
Because I wouldn't let Jianjian go with me, Jianqian looked unhappy. I was worried that he would leak the news, so I repeatedly told him not to tell anyone where Wen Qingshan and I were going, even if Huang Yixian called and asked.
explain.
That night, Wen Qingshan and I packed everything up and rushed to the airport early the next morning.
At about three o'clock in the afternoon, we arrived in Xi'an. As soon as we walked out of the airport, we saw Ah Bao waiting for us. We followed Ah Bao into a Buick commercial vehicle, which took us to the hotel.
The hotel that Longjiu arranged for us to stay in is located in the downtown area. Abao told us that the reason why we chose this hotel is because the transportation around the hotel is well connected, which makes it easier for us to leave without anyone noticing.
After arriving at the hotel, Abao asked Wen Qingshan and I to stay in the room and rest. We waited until after 11 o'clock in the evening. Abao suddenly knocked on the door and asked us to go out with him.
Naturally we understood what he meant by "turning around", so we followed him downstairs. We got into the Buick business car again. In fact, Wen Qingshan and I had put our luggage in the car.
, the vehicle circled around the hotel for a few times and then headed straight to the outskirts of the city.
I didn’t know where Ah Bao was taking us two, so I asked curiously: “Brother Bao, where are we going?”
Abao said with a smile: "Of course we are going to Hukou, where Master Jiu is waiting for you two!"
"What!? Let's go to Hukou like this?" I was a little surprised.
"How should we go if we don't go this way?" Abao asked with a smile.
"I thought we were going by plane!"
"It's easy to reveal your identity by flying, and the distance from Xi'an to Hukou is actually only more than 300 kilometers. Let's drive faster and we can get there in less than three hours," Abao said.
Wen Qingshan turned his head and looked at the back of the car through the car window, and said worriedly: "Brother Abao, how are you sure that we have escaped the surveillance of the cult members and the Dragon Shield Bureau?"
Abao replied: "You don't have to worry about this. We have arranged several Buicks that are exactly the same. Not only are the models the same, but even the license plates are exactly the same. We just walked around the city a few times just to confuse their eyes. Wait for them
We had already arrived at Hukou when they realized they had lost track of us. Even if they were looking for us, it was unlikely that they would be able to find us and drive the entire 300 kilometers."
After listening to what A Bao said, Wen Qingshan couldn't help but praise: "As expected of Master Jiu, everything was planned very carefully. In this way, we can get rid of the surveillance of people in the cult."
The car sped along the highway. After almost three hours, we arrived at Hukou Town, where Hukou Waterfall is located. Hukou Town is located in Ji County, Linfen, Shanxi. When we arrived at the town, it was already past twelve o'clock in the morning.
I originally thought that A Bao would find a hotel for me and Wen Qingshan to stay in first, but I never thought that the car made almost no stops along the way and drove directly to the Hukou Waterfall of the Yellow River.
Not long after the vehicle got off the highway, I vaguely heard the roar caused by the impact of the waterfall. Abao told us that not far ahead was the world-famous Hukou Falls of the Yellow River.
Since it was already midnight and it was very dark tonight, I looked out through the car window and could hardly see anything. I couldn't help but wonder, how could we conduct exploration in such darkness? But I didn't have much.
Q, since Long Jiu said that everything has been arranged, he must have taken this into consideration, so just follow his arrangements.
As we got closer and closer to the waterfall, the roar became louder and louder. I felt that the waterfall seemed to be not far from the car, but the car did not stop, but drove downstream along the river.
I couldn't help but wonder, so I asked, "Brother Bao, where are we going? Aren't we already at the waterfall?"
Abao smiled slightly and said, "You will know when we get there."
The car drove along the river for about two or three kilometers and gradually moved away from the waterfall. Only then did I realize that there seemed to be a construction site a few hundred meters ahead. The lights were on at the construction site. Although it was already very late,
But it seems to be still under construction.
"How come there are still people building houses by the Yellow River?" Wen Qingshan muttered in confusion.
Abao smiled and said: "Brother Wen San, that's where we want to go."
Wen Qingshan was slightly startled and asked, "What are you going there for?"
"What you two don't know is that the construction site is actually just a cover. We have dug a cave there that leads deep underground. This cave leads directly to the dragon body rock below the Yellow River channel."
After hearing what Abao said, Wen Qingshan smiled and said: "Haha, it seems that Master Jiu has already made preparations."
We arrived at the construction site quickly. After getting off the car, Abao led us to a row of simple board houses on one side of the construction site. As soon as we walked to the door, two people walked out of the board houses. I stared
At first glance, it was Long Jiu and Long Jiansheng.
Long Jiu saw the two of us and said with a smile: "This arrangement was too hasty. You two have been busy traveling today and should have had a night's rest first. However, I am worried that once the cult members find out that we are not in the hotel, they will definitely look for us everywhere.
In order to avoid a long night and many dreams, I can only ask you two to work hard, please don't blame me."
I immediately said: "As long as we can find King Yu's Divine Cauldron, it doesn't matter if we have to work hard!"
"Come with me, you two!" Long Jiu said, leading Wen Qingshan and I towards the end of the row of wooden houses.
The door of that board house was closed tightly, and there was a huge copper lock hanging on the door. I couldn't help but wonder, because the doors of other board houses were basically open, and some even had their doors open.
No, only this wooden room is actually locked, and I don’t know what is stored in it.
Long Jiu turned to Abao and said, "Open the door!"
Abao didn't say anything, he immediately stepped forward, took out a bunch of keys from his waist, and quickly opened the door. Out of curiosity, I stretched my neck and took a look inside the wooden house, and couldn't help but take a bite.
Surprisingly, in the center of the wooden house, there was a large hole with a diameter of nearly two meters.
"Master Jiu, could this be the cave leading to the dragon body rock?" Wen Qingshan turned to Long Jiu and asked.
Long Jiu nodded and said: "Ever since I discovered the existence of such a rock under the river bed of Shili Longcao, I have had people dig this secret passage. It was not until two months ago that this secret passage was completed."
After listening to what Long Jiu said, I walked to the entrance of the cave and looked down. The cave extended deep underground at a 60-degree angle and was bottomless. I turned around and asked Long Jiu: "Master Jiu, this
How deep is the hole?"
"The length of this hole is one hundred and thirty meters, and it goes more than forty meters underground, reaching directly to the dragon body rock." Long Jiu replied.
"However, Master Jiu, didn't you say before that the dragon-body rock is completely integrated and has no flaws? In that case, how can we enter it? Is it possible to blow it open with explosives?" I asked.
Long Jiu said with a smile: "Although the composition of the rock is close to limestone, it is very hard. The workers tried to use iron drills to chisel the rock, but the iron drills bent and failed to leave any traces on the rock mass.
There is only a trace of traces, so it may not be easy to forcefully break the rock with the help of external force. If I use explosives, I am afraid that the cave will collapse, but I will not be able to blow it open."
"Then how do we get in!?"
Long Jiu said: "I think we can enter the dragon body through the dragon's mouth, but there seems to be a seal at the dragon's mouth. I don't know how to open it yet."
When I heard this, I couldn't help but sigh: "Hey! Even Master Jiu doesn't know how to open that seal, so how can we possibly know it!"
Long Jiu smiled slightly and said, "That's not necessarily the case! Maybe only you two can open this seal!"
