When he came to Lanzhou this time, Yu Fei flew directly from Xi'an and did not bring the Dragon Soul Sword with him. For this reason, Li Qiang specially found a sharp military machete for him. After all, he could not use a gun.
Although such an ordinary military machete would probably not be of much use if he really encountered someone from the ghost realm, it was still better than using his bare hands. Besides, without something in his hand, Yu Fei always felt empty.
Bo Xinwen asked the base to arrange several off-road vehicles for them. This time Li Qiang also brought seven or eight special operations team members including Haizi and Tieniu. Together with Yu Fei and others, they formed a team of more than ten people. He took a few off-road vehicles and drove to the target area defined by Bo Xinwen based on the longitude and latitude coordinates he recorded.
About twenty minutes later, the convoy drove out of the prairie and arrived at a hilly area covered with shrubs. There was no existing road in this area, and the car could only bump around the bushes between the hills.
Not far forward, a dense forest blocked the convoy's path.
Unable to continue driving, everyone had to get out of the car. Bo Xinwen took out the GPS locator and took a look. It seemed that he had just arrived at the target area. He couldn't help but frowned and said: "It turns out that the dragon is in a forest. Hovering in the sky, this place is really a good hiding place. It seems that we have found the right place. Everyone, please be careful,"
The group was about to step into the woods, but Master Aoki suddenly stepped forward and stopped everyone: "Wait a minute, something is wrong here,"
When everyone heard Master Aoki say something was wrong, they thought he had discovered something and quickly raised their guns. Bo Xinwen looked around alertly and asked: "Master Aoki, what do you think is wrong?"
"Look carefully, what kind of trees are there in this forest," Aoki said.
When Master Aoki asked, everyone raised their heads and looked into the woods. They were all surprised. All the things growing in the woods were locust trees. It was just that the leaves of these locust trees were different from the locust leaves in other places. In comparison, the color appears darker, dark green, and the leaves seem wider.
The locust tree, also known as the ghost tree, can gather the yin energy of the earth. Therefore, the heavier the yin energy, the more luxuriant it will grow. And this entire forest is actually a locust tree, and the diameter of the trunks of many trees is It is more than one meter tall and has lush branches and leaves. The fact that such a large locust tree forest can be grown shows how heavy the yin energy of this place is.
"Who would plant so many locust trees in a place like this," Luo Zi said in confusion.
Master Aoki shook his head and said: "I'm afraid these locust trees were not deliberately planted by anyone, but grew naturally."
"Why do real people think so," Bo Xinwen asked.
"Locust trees like shade. Generally speaking, it is better to choose a place with a shady Feng Shui climate for planting Sophora japonica trees. However, if you look at this place purely from a Feng Shui perspective, not only is it not shady, but it is sunny, which is not suitable for the growth of Sophora japonica trees. If you plant Locust trees generally don’t choose this kind of place,” Aoki said.
Luo Zi laughed at the side and said: "Haha, this is why you, the Taoist Master, know Feng Shui. But maybe the person who planted the locust tree doesn't understand Feng Shui. He just saw that there was an open space here, so he planted the locust tree here. Who knows..." Before he finished speaking, he seemed to have thought of something: "Wait a minute, Taoist priest, you just said that this place is not suitable for the growth of locust trees, but how can these locust trees be so lush?"
Master Aoki smiled: "From a purely feng shui point of view, this place is indeed not suitable for planting trees, but the earth's energy is not only related to feng shui. The corpse energy emitted by the dead, or some evil things emit. The evil spirit will also have an impact on the earth's energy."
Bo Xinwen couldn't help but be startled: "Master, you mean that there is something sinister buried under this place."
"If there is not a mass grave under this land, then I am afraid that what is buried is not just an ordinary evil thing, but an extremely evil thing," Aoki said.
"The most yin thing, could it be... the Xuanming Divine Stone?" Yu Fei naturally thought of this most precious treasure in the ghost world. If it were said to be the most yin thing, I'm afraid there would be no one like it in the world.
And when the words "Xuanming Divine Stone" came out of Yu Fei's mouth, everyone was shocked. Everyone has been looking for the whereabouts of this Xuanming Divine Stone, and they all know how powerful it is and how powerful it is. The Yin Qi can even affect the aura of heaven and earth, and once caused an earth-shattering earthquake. Now this evil thing may be hidden here.
Everyone had a look of fear on their faces, and even Bai Yiqing looked quite nervous.
For a moment, no one spoke. After a long while, Master Aoki slowly spoke: "It may not necessarily be the Xuanming Divine Stone. Judging from the size of the stems of these locust trees, there should be hundreds of them in this forest. "
When Master Aoki said this, he turned to Tieniu standing next to him and said, "Give me your shovel."
Tieniu quickly took off the military portable shovel from his back and handed it over. Master Aoki took the shovel, walked to a big locust tree, and shoveled it toward the ground.
"Taoist Master, are you trying to dig up the bones of soldiers from thousands of years ago?" Luo Zi joked upon seeing this.
Master Aoki did not answer. After shoveling the ground, he squatted down, picked up a handful of soil and smelled it.
After a while, he stood up and said to everyone: "There is a corpse energy hidden in the soil here. Maybe it is really a mass grave. And if you look at this soil, do you find anything special? ,"
Everyone looked at the soil at the excavation site. The soil was dark brown, and there was nothing unusual about it. However, Bo Xinwen seemed to see the clues. He frowned and said: "How can there be black soil here? ,"
"What's wrong with the black soil?" Yu Fei asked puzzledly.
Bo Xinwen smiled slightly: "Brother Yu doesn't know that Lanzhou is still located within the scope of the Loess Plateau. The soil in most areas is yellow. Black soil is very rare. I didn't expect to see a large area here."
Master Aoki said: "This black soil is not naturally generated, but is formed by the corpse energy here over the years. I estimate that it is all loess only a few meters away from here. You follow me,"
As he spoke, Aoki took the shovel and walked back to the bushes. When he shoveled it down, what he brought out was indeed loess, which was completely different from the black soil under the locust tree.
Luo Zi couldn't help but sigh: "This is really the case. It seems that this forest has nothing to do with the Xuanming Divine Stone. It must be like what the Taoist Master said, this place used to be a mass grave in ancient times."
