Strange to say, according to Jiang Xiaoshu's speculation, there should be a downward-facing cave here, but there were only dense trees here. After a few people searched around, they found no entrance at all.

Just as the three of them were looking for the entrance around the big tree, there was a faint cry from deep in the dense forest:

"Brother Jiang...Brother Jiang...are you there?"

"It's Zhu Shaoxia!" Liu Lingwei jumped for joy, and when she was about to open her mouth to shout, a hand stretched out and firmly covered her mouth.

She turned her head angrily and saw the serious expression on Jiang Xiaoshu's face.

Jiang Xiaoshu whispered in her ear:

"Liu Lingwei, from now on, we will start taking action. Do you still remember the three chapters of the original agreement?"

Liu Lingwei didn't know why he was suddenly so serious, but she still remembered the three chapters of the agreement, and she nodded in confusion.

Jiang Xiaoshu still covered her mouth:

"Remember, every step we take next is very important. If you are not careful, you will be killed. I want you to follow me and Sheng Yujin closely, and not make a sound, do you understand?"

Seeing Liu Lingwei nodding again and her expression becoming serious, Jiang Xiaoshu put down his hand.

After putting her hands down, Liu Lingwei closed her lips tightly and straightened her face. Sure enough, she didn't make a sound.

It seems that after several experiences, the reckless young lady at the beginning has really begun to look like a person in the world. Jiang Xiaoshu thought of this and gave Liu Lingwei a thumbs up.

Then Jiang Xiaoshu rushed over there and said:

"Brother Zhu, we are here."

"Ah! Is it Brother Jiang?"

"It's me."

"Is everyone okay?"

"Hello everyone, please come over and join us first."

"good."

Then there was a commotion in the woods in that direction, and Zhu Yujin rushed towards the group.

"Hoo!" A moment later, a man poked out from the bushes in front of the group, it was Zhu Yujin.

His face was full of exhaustion, his body was covered with grass clippings, and his clothes were torn to pieces by thorns.

"Brother Zhu, you..." Seeing Zhu Yujin's appearance, Jiang Xiaoshu was a little surprised and went to greet him.

"It was sister Yi Ling who released me." Zhu Yujin's face was gloomy and he kept the story short:

"The people in the village said that you had committed a serious crime and that I would be imprisoned. Then they tied me up. I was tied up tightly and thrown into the room. I knew that you must have been wronged, but there was nothing you could do and you were wondering.

At the last moment, sister Yi Ling came to the place where I was imprisoned and released me, saying that you had arrived in a forbidden area and asked me to come to you quickly... Fortunately, fortunately, everyone was fine, and I was not late after all.

"

Jiang Xiaoshu asked:

"Brother Zhu, are you still willing to believe us now?"

Zhu Yujin nodded firmly:

"The characters of all of you are very good, and they will never do anything that is harmful to nature; what's more, your father has been very kind to me. Brother Jiang, you are his flesh and blood, and I will not let you be in danger regardless of circumstances or reason.

.”

When Liu Lingwei heard this, she glanced at Jiang Xiaoshu, as if to say:

"Look, if your father hadn't done good deeds back then, we would be in a miserable state today..."

Jiang Xiaoshu ignored Liu Lingwei's teasing eyes, walked forward and took Zhu Yujin's hand:

"Just now, I thought you were here to capture us, but I didn't expect...Brother Zhu is still willing to help in times of crisis. I, I really don't know what to say."

"You're welcome," Zhu Yujin patted Jiang Xiaoshu and then asked:

"What are your plans now?"

Jiang Xiaoshu pointed to the north:

"Anyway, the river is blocked by water now, and it's impossible to get down from there. We have no choice but to find another way."

Zhu Yujin frowned:

"Brother Jiang, with all due respect, this southwest mountain is very tall and surrounded by dense forests and full of miasma. If you want to go down the mountain, the only way to get down is the five wind and rain bridges in the north..."

When Liu Lingwei heard this, she was about to speak, but she remembered Jiang Xiaoshu's previous warning that she couldn't speak, so she swallowed her words back.

Jiang Xiao wrote:

"Since you can't get out, just go in."

"Huh?" Zhu Yujin was a little confused.

With a clatter, Jiang Xiaoshu unsheathed his long sword, and then he turned his sword back and cut off a big tree behind him.

Zhu Yujin was caught off guard and was surprised:

"Brother Jiang, you!"

The big tree collapsed behind him, and Jiang Xiaoshu raised his eyebrows at Zhu Yujin:

"Brother Zhu, is there a hole leading to the ground on the tree stump behind me?"

Only then did Zhu Yujin see that the center of the remaining stump of the big tree was indeed empty. A dark hole was revealed in front of everyone. It was bottomless and led straight into the heart of the mountain.

Looking at his surprised eyes, Jiang Xiaoshu grinned:

"How's it going? Very cool, right?"

Zhu Yujin was speechless:

"Brother Jiang, how do you know there is a secret passage under this tree?"

"I happened to see a map before, which showed that the entrance to the Miao King's Tomb is right here." Jiang Xiaoshu said, pointing to the surrounding trees:

"You see, this tree has the best lighting position, but it is much thinner than other trees."

A few people took a look and found that it was indeed the case. Zhu Yujin didn't understand the logic for a while and asked:

"What does this mean?"

Jiang Xiaoshu did not look back and said with a smile:

"Sheng Yujin, see if there is a hollow in the middle of the severed tree trunk?"

Sheng Yujin’s voice came from behind:

"Yes."

"That's right," Jiang Xiaoshu nodded with satisfaction:

"I guess this hole was dug about ten years ago. The digger dug the hole from the top of the tree to the ground. The tree appeared to be intact on the surface, but it suffered great damage on the inside. So after ten years,

, naturally they grow slower than other trees.”

"Wouldn't it be troublesome to dig a hole like you said?" Sheng Yujin asked curiously.

"The trouble is a bit big, but the usefulness is not small." Jiang Xiaoshu turned around and walked to the entrance of the cave:

"Except for a very smart person like me, who would have thought that the entrance would be in the center of the tree? Even if someone is lucky enough to get here and search around, they won't be able to find anything. Isn't this a very powerful way to hide from others?

?”

Zhu Yujin also walked to the entrance and sighed:

"I have long heard that Brother Jiang is a rare genius in the world. I had always been a little skeptical before. But when I saw it today, it was really breathtaking..."

"Hehehe, it's just a false reputation. Brother Zhu deserves the award." Jiang Xiaoshu smiled and hugged his fists.

"Who would dig such a tunnel?" Zhu Yujin asked.

Jiang Xiaoshu put away his smile and said seriously:

"A group of people with ulterior motives. I don't know the identities of these people now. All the strange things that happened after we came to Miao Village, and even the strange things before we came - the inexplicable evil spirits, the sudden change of temperament of the Central Plains people

What happened to Liu Lingwei, and the injustice suffered by Sheng Yujin and I... are all inseparable from them!"

Zhu Yujin nodded silently.

Jiang Xiaoshu continued:

"And this gang of evil thieves did more than just this. Brother Zhu, do you still remember what I said about the purpose of coming to Miao territory?"

"Remember, Brother Jiang, you said that you came to Miaojiang to investigate the truth behind the mysterious deaths of Doctor Si, Divine Calculator Zhang, Qianmianhou..." Zhu Yujin naturally remembered this incident, and then he was shocked:

"Could it be that the group of evil people at the end of this tunnel were actually involved in this matter?"

"It was because one of their previous operations was discovered by me, so I followed the clues and came here."

"So that map was also obtained at that time? Then you followed the location of the Mingmen point and found the entrance?"

"good."

Zhu Yujin was very angry:
To be continued...
