Chapter 616 Going into the mountains!
Chapter 616 Going into the mountains!
At around ten o'clock the next morning, a middle-aged man hurried into a small courtyard outside Fushan Town and reported to Director Zhao in a serious tone, "Report to Director Zhao! Just now, two teams, one in front and one behind, entered Tianmen Mountain from the direction of Fanghukou."
Yang Kaihua, who was standing by, heard the middle-aged man's report and immediately asked Director Zhao without waiting for him to ask, "Director Zhao! How many people are there in each of the two teams going into the mountains? Is the team formed by Zheng Xianhe also among them?"
When the middle-aged man heard Yang Kaihua's question, he immediately introduced to Yang Kaihua: "Captain Yang! The first team to enter the mountain is the team organized by Zheng Xianhe. There are a total of 17 people, plus five pack horses. The second team entered the mountain about 20 minutes after the first team. This team has a total of 13 people, plus two pack horses. However, all the people in this team are strangers, and there is no local guide from Fushan Town."
"Director Zhao! Deputy Captain Yang! Captain Guo! If I'm not mistaken, the second team to enter the mountain should be the Li family members who escaped yesterday. After all, it was the Li family's ancestors who buried the treasure of King Chuang. It's not surprising that the Li family knew the specific location of the treasure in advance, and naturally there was no need to hire a guide from Fushan Town." When Jia Dongming heard the middle-aged man's introduction, he thought of the Li family who escaped yesterday using the tunnel, and said to the three people with a very serious expression.
Yang Kaihua heard Jia Dongming's analysis and agreed with it very much. He immediately asked Director Zhao, "Director Zhao! There is no time to lose! Since Zheng Ming and the Li family have already entered the mountain, should we hurry in as well?"
When Director Zhao heard what Yang Kaihua said, he immediately instructed the subordinates who were in charge of leading the way: "Comrade Lin Pinghui! Captain Yang! Director Jia! Captain Guo, their safety is now in your hands. I wish you a safe journey."
When Lin Pinghui heard Director Zhao's order, he immediately stood up straight, saluted Director Zhao, and replied in a sonorous and powerful tone: "I guarantee to complete the task!"
Soon, Jia Dongming and his group of more than 30 people, led by Lin Pinghui and others, led pack horses and headed towards Tianmen Mountain.
Led by Lin Pinghui, the group followed the path into the mountain and headed towards Tianmen Mountain. Zhou Ming looked at the Tianmen Cave in the distance and couldn't help but exclaimed. He said to Yang Kaihua and Jia Dongming: "Deputy Captain Yang! Deputy Captain Jia! Look over there, it's simply a miracle."
"Captain Zhou! That big cave is called Tianmen Cave. According to legend, the immortal Chisongzi traveled to Tianmen Mountain and was attracted by the wonders. He used his magic to dig out the Tianmen Cave, making it a passage connecting the human world and the fairyland. During the Three Kingdoms period, Emperor Sun Xiu of Wu saw the Tianmen Cave and regarded it as a good omen, so he changed the name to Tianmen Mountain." A policeman from the autonomous region branch heard Zhou Hua's exclamation, and immediately smiled and told everyone present the legend about the Tianmen Cave.
Jia Dongming came from the future. Although he had never been to Tianmen Mountain Scenic Area in his previous life, he was not unfamiliar with it. He smiled and continued, "The scenery here is extremely rare, especially the granite natural bridge landform, which seems to be a bridge connecting the mortal world and the fairyland. In the future, when people's living conditions improve, this place will definitely become a nationally famous scenic spot."
After walking along the mountain road for more than two hours, Lin Pinghui led everyone to stop beside a stream and said to Yang Kaihua with a smile: "Captain Yang! It's almost noon now. Let's rest here for a while, then eat something, and then continue to walk in." Yang Kaihua heard Lin Pinghui's suggestion, reached out to wipe the sweat from his forehead, nodded subconsciously, and replied: "Okay! Then let's rest here and eat something to fill our stomachs."
After Yang Kaihua and the others found a place to sit down and rest, he quickly walked to Lin Pinghui and asked him with a smile: "Comrade Lin Pinghui! Is there any fork in the road we are taking? After all, there is more than an hour difference in the time when we entered the mountain with Zheng Ming and his friends. Will we lose them by then?"
When Lin Pinghui heard Yang Kaihua's question, he smiled and said to Yang Kaihua, "Captain Yang! There is only one way into the mountain at present, but after walking for more than an hour, there will be a fork in the road. As for your concern about getting lost, please rest assured. There are so many people in the two teams ahead, and they are carrying pack horses, so we will definitely not get lost."
After a short rest, everyone started on the road again. Just as Lin Pinghui said, after walking for more than an hour, a fork in the road appeared in front of everyone. Lin Pinghui looked at the footprints left on the ground and the dung of the pack horses, and after careful identification, he led everyone towards one of the roads.
Along the way, the group encountered many forks in the road. Every time, Lin Pinghui would use his tracking technology to find the correct one, which made Jia Dongming admire Lin Pinghui's tracking ability.
Soon the sun went down, and the temperature in the mountains gradually became colder. Lin Pinghui looked at the mountain road that was no longer visible in front of him, and said to Yang Kaihua and others with a smile: "Captain Yang! Director Jia! Captain Guo! According to the footprints left on the ground, we should be only half an hour away from the second team. Now it is almost dark. If we continue on our way, we may encounter danger. So I think we should find a place to camp and continue our journey tomorrow morning?"
After hearing what Lin Pinghui said, Yang Kaihua turned to look at Jia Dongming and Guo Zhigang, and asked them with a smile: "Director Jia! Captain Guo! What do you think?"
When Jia Dongming heard Yang Kaihua's question and thought about the situation in the mountains, he smiled and agreed: "Deputy Captain Yang! It's getting dark now. If we hurry on with torches, we will definitely expose our whereabouts. Why don't we follow Lin Pinghui's suggestion and stay here for one night and continue on our journey tomorrow morning."
"Captain Yang! The road we are taking today has steep cliffs in some places. If we are not careful, we will fall into the mountains. Now it is dark, and it is really not suitable to continue on our journey. For everyone's safety, I think we should stay here for one night and continue on our journey tomorrow." When Guo Zhigang heard Yang Kaihua's question and thought of what he had seen and heard along the way, he also expressed his agreement.
Seeing that everyone agreed with his suggestion, Lin Pinghui immediately introduced them with a smile: "Captain Yang! Director Jia! Captain Guo! There are many wild animals in this mountain. If we camp outside at night, there will be certain dangers. I remember there is a cave in front. Why don't we stay there for a night?"
