Later on, I didn't pay much attention to Wu Ji.

He had clearly given others hope, but now he had appeared again.

Perhaps Wu Ji was worried that I would be disappointed in the end, so on the way, he would occasionally instill all sorts of benefits into me by becoming my new disciple.

Not only did he earn money, but he also cultivated. Furthermore, when there were any difficulties, he would take care of them with Old Half-immortal's help, and not only that, he did not need to think about them himself.

I rolled my eyes at him in disdain. This comforting words didn't make my heart feel any better!

Even though Wu Ji and I were at odds on the surface, in reality, from the bottom of my heart, I still hoped that I could truly become a Dao-disciple.

It was because the unofficial disciple seemed to have a relatively more free and independent consciousness, rather than becoming a carrier, allowing others to plagiarize and control him.

Now that he had a plan in mind, he did not feel that time was passing too slowly. He even forgot about his exhaustion at the moment.

He followed Wu Ji's footsteps and moved forward slowly. By the time he stopped, the sky had already begun to darken.

Wu Ji stood at the moment, looked around, and started calculating something, after a while, he took out his palm-sized compass and walked around.

I was worried that he was lost in his thoughts, so I followed closely behind him, holding him in check the compass and calculating with my fingers, not understanding a single thing.

It was only after a long time that I found out that Wu Ji had used a very unique set of Wind Water Secret Technique.

"The place we're looking for should not be too far away." He snapped the compass shut.

"Then, before the sky is completely dark, we'll find our destination tonight?" Knowing that the secret we were looking for wasn't too far away, I started to get anxious.

Wu Ji also agreed with my suggestion, saying that it would be easy for a change to occur at a later time, it's good for them to find him as soon as possible.

Actually, we all know about one thing but we didn't say it out loud. If we were to camp outside tonight, once we meet another Mountain Elk or another Giant Worm, based on our current exhaustion levels, it would be difficult for us to deal with them.

Besides, we don't have much food left, so it's better to finish the fight quickly.

Knowing that my destination was right in front of me, even though my legs hurt and I was too tired to even lift a single step, I clenched my teeth and quickened my pace.

However, even after the sky had turned completely dark, we were still unable to find anything special.

Beneath our feet were thick dead branches and fallen leaves, and above us was a vast canopy of trees, surrounded by innumerable plants that we had seen or not seen before, but it was the same as the ones we had seen on the way here. There was nothing strange about it.

But Wu Ji thinks that we have reached our destination.

"But there's nothing here. Could it be that the thing we're looking for is really the tomb buried underground?" I asked, guessing.

Wu Ji shook his head. He said that this place was not suitable for burial, so the possibility of an ancient tomb was not high.

As he spoke, he circled around us, even touching the thick trunk as if he could find some sort of mechanism.

The passion that had been burned to nothingness was now completely shattered by the reality before him.

The secret place in my heart, far from reality! Furthermore, looking at the scene before him, it would be nice to say whether or not there was actually such a secret location.

I was too tired, so I suggested that we rest here for the night and maybe find some clues when the sun came up.

Wu Ji did not object, we found a suitable place and started a fire, I saw him holding a compass and was secretly measuring something. From time to time, he would even say, "No, that's not right. It should be here."

"Maybe there's some kind of barrier here. It wasn't all in the previous TV shows, so there must be some special way to find the entrance to this secret place." So don't be in such a hurry. " Seeing how focused he was, he was a little worried that this fellow might have a Qigong deviation.

I'll still go to sleep first at night, Wu Ji as usual.

When one's body was exhausted to the extreme, there would instead be an indescribable excitement, causing one to be able to sleep very lightly. With just the slightest movement of the Feng Shui Grass, one would be able to wake up immediately.

After sleeping for a while, he heard a sound and woke up. He got up and saw that Wu Ji was digging with Luo Yang's shovel.

In the middle of the night in this old forest, Wu Ji was digging without sleeping, which made me feel as if a cold breeze was blowing behind me.

"Wu Ji?" I tried to call him.

He was still digging, turned a deaf ear to my voice.

I slowly got up and tried calling out again, "Wu Ji!"

This time, he stopped what he was doing and slowly straightened up. He slowly turned around and looked at me, but his expressionless eyes were dull. He used a stiff mechanical voice to say, "Found it!"

I cried out in shock and struggled to get up. Wu Ji was sitting cross-legged beside me, looking at me in shock.

So it was a dream!

I wiped off the cold sweat on my forehead and could no longer fall asleep. I sat up and drank some water, then told Wu Ji about my strange dream.

After listening, Wu Ji didn't find it strange. Instead, he asked me with interest where he had dug in his dreams.

"Why do you ask?" I don't understand.

Wu Ji said: "I'm sure this is just a prediction."

Although I thought he was talking nonsense, I got up and grabbed the flashlight, and we found the place where he had dug in his dream.

"There's nothing here." I looked around a little disappointed.

Wu Ji calmly replied with a smile, "Silently, since you're dreaming of digging holes, I should give it a try."

After saying that, he swiftly caught up with Luoyang City and dug out a shovel of the land that I pointed to.

Because the surface is covered with dead leaves and twigs all year round, some places will become algae lagoon after being soaked and rotted by the rain, and some places will have a layer of soft soil with a thick growl.

The terrain we are currently in is the second type.

There was at least thirty centimeters of loose soil and mud.

"A lot of things are getting soaked under this mud." I was a little disappointed.

What happens in the movie, the hero digs in with his shovel, you'll find a layer of earth, which means there's something underneath, but all you encounter is mud.

But Wu Ji was not discouraged and continued to dig in one spot.

He was strong and fast. In a short moment, he had dug a pit of about one meter square.

I thought he was being a little superfluous, wasting his strength on nothing.

But very quickly, I dispelled that thought, because as Wu Ji dug deeper and deeper, we saw a bizarre and terrifying scene.

At first, I thought I was mistaken, but Wu Ji used his spade to dig a few times. Both of us could see clearly that in the one meter square pit in front of us, there were a few bones.

"Why is there someone here?" I found it hard to believe. Why would someone bury themselves here in this deep forest?

According to what we've heard, no one has been here for years.

Just as I finished my sentence, I suddenly remembered the geological survey team that my aunt mentioned! They had only entered the Xiao Xi Kou for two years or so. Could this be someone from the geological team?

Wu Ji did not answer, but continued to dig in the direction of the skull. As expected, as Wu Ji dug longer and longer, we saw a complete set of human bones!

Only then did Wu Ji speak, "It shouldn't be the people from the geological team, they have only been in the Xiao Xi Kou for around two to three years, but this white bone seems to have been dead for a long time, the clothes and fabric on their body are already more or less completely torn."

It was the first time I had ever seen a real human skeleton, and I was afraid it must be there, and I felt terrible, but all the things we had been through on the way here were a little numb.

Furthermore, the excitement and fatigue mixed together, making me unable to be afraid.

Wu Ji jumped down the hole and used his dagger to pick up a piece of fabric that hadn't completely rotted away yet. By the light of the lamp, we could clearly see that it didn't look like a clothing that a modern person was wearing, but instead looked like a cloth that looked like it had been worn for seventy years.

But it could be roughly inferred for now that these people might be the same people from back then. Those who tried to destroy Ox, Ghost, Snake and God in the seventies, and who didn't go out after forcefully breaking into the Xiao Xi Kou, could also be those villagers who followed along like the Xiao Xi Kou to search for him later.
