"Damn, is this a deep forest? Am I going to get lost?" Chen Ze felt very uneasy. Along the way, he hadn't heard any people, not even the chirping of birds or insects.

After resting for a while, Chen Ze decided to find some water to drink first. It was absolutely impossible to be without water in this remote wilderness, so he had to replenish his water.

Although it was already evening and the sky was getting dark, Chen Ze could still determine the direction with the help of the moonlight. After identifying the direction for a while, Chen Ze ran towards the left front.

Just when passing through a canyon, Chen Ze saw someone in the canyon.

Chen Ze held his breath and sneaked in through the gap to take a look. He found that both sides of the canyon were full of corpses. Chen Ze estimated that there were at least hundreds of them.

Chen Ze took one look and prepared to run away.

"Who? Get out!" someone suddenly shouted from the other end of the canyon.

Chen Ze was so scared that he ran away. Not long after he ran, he found that there were people on both ends of the canyon. These people were very strong and each of them had a weapon in his hand.

"Stop!" The man chased for a distance, and when he saw Chen Ze continuing to run deeper into the canyon, he stopped and shouted.

But the deeper they went into the canyon, the more corpses there were.

Chen Ze didn't care about all that and ran deeper into the canyon at a faster pace.

Even Chen Ze encountered some skeleton soldiers.

"What the hell is this place? Why are there so many corpses? Is this an ancient tomb?" Chen Ze looked around in surprise.

"No way? Is there really a treasure in that coffin?" Chen Ze thought doubtfully.

Chen Ze saw a pile of white bones and immediately squatted down to check.

"Wow, this bone is very hard!" Chen Ze discovered that a piece he picked up at random was actually made of metal, which made Chen Ze very excited.

These skeletons must be from humans who were buried here. Since these people could be buried here, it proves that they were very powerful, and the weapons they left behind must be extraordinary.

Chen Ze picked up a sword, a brick, a bow and arrow, and a shield.

Then, Chen Ze also found a lot of iron chains, copper hammers and bronze drums among the skeletons.

"What are these for?" Chen Ze picked up the copper hammer and knocked on it. "Hey, the sound is quite heavy!"

Chen Ze picked up a bronze tripod and took a look, and found that there was fire inside.

"Fuck, gunpowder weapons!" Chen Ze was excited, this was a good thing.

Chen Ze picked up another axe and three fireballs.

Chen Ze also saw an axe and a flag. Chen Ze picked up the flag and smelled it, and found that it was tainted with the smell of death.

Chen Ze picked up the flag and saw three words written on it: "Temple Sacrifice!"

Chen Ze: "Fuck! So that's how it is, this is the symbol of temple sacrifice." Temple sacrifice is the official title of the Southern Song Dynasty and is a profession similar to that of wizards and monks.

According to historical records, this was built by Xu Fu, the imperial teacher of the Southern Song Dynasty, for Emperor Huizong of Song, who died of tuberculosis at a young age.

Xu Fu put Song Huizong's body into a furnace and burned it until it was completely burned. Then he used gunpowder to blow up the bones, turning them into ashes that scattered throughout the city of Bianjing.

Later generations of the Southern Song royal family all believed in Xu Fu's magic, because Xu Fu was the second person in the Southern Song Dynasty to practice Taoism.

After Song Huizong's death, his body was blown to pieces, making it impossible to piece together his complete remains.

In order to make up for the loss of the royal family, the later emperors of the Southern Song Dynasty sealed Song Huizong's ashes and cenotaph together in the temple for future generations to worship.

The big flag stuck in the soil is the flag used exclusively for temple sacrifices. It is a magical instrument engraved with various spells and mysterious patterns.

Chen Ze carefully studied the pattern on the flag, and then put it away. After all, this thing is very valuable. As for the three gunpowder firearms, Chen Ze felt that he should not be short of gunpowder. When he encountered a suitable opportunity in the future, he would sell them for some money.

In this way, Chen Ze walked forward a few more kilometers.

Finally, before it got completely dark, Chen Ze found a pool of clear spring water.

Chen Ze jumped into the spring water, felt the cool temperature and felt very comfortable.

After taking a bath, Chen Ze sat by the spring to rest.

The location of this spring is quite remote, so there is no other movement for the time being.

Just when Chen Ze was resting, he vaguely saw a hint of red on the other side of the spring, which made Chen Ze immediately alert.

Chen Ze stood up and walked slowly and carefully towards the red color.

Soon, Chen Ze came closer.

"Huh? Is there someone here?" Chen Ze found a person lying in the spring water. Chen Ze looked at the person lying on the ground.

The man was wearing a tattered robe, his body was covered in dirt, and his face was dirty, so it was impossible to tell what he looked like.

Chen Ze hesitated. After all, the person was lying in the spring. If he was a dangerous monster, approaching him rashly might cause accidental injury.

However, Chen Ze took a look at the man's arms that were exposed above the water and found that his skin was a healthy wheat color, so he should be a normal person.

“Help…Help…”

Just as Chen Ze was hesitating, the man in the water suddenly asked for help.

"Damn it, you're pretending to be dead. Just wait, I'll come to save you right away." Chen Ze couldn't help but complain when he saw the man's miserable condition, but his feet unconsciously stepped into the water.

After Chen Ze walked in, the man slowly raised his head, and then Chen Ze saw the man's face clearly.

Chen Ze was stunned for a moment, because Chen Ze knew this person and had a very deep impression of him.

"Why is it you? Why the hell are you here?" Chen Ze asked, pointing at the dirty guy.

"Who are you? Do you know me?" The man was also stunned.
Because Chen Ze's expression told him that Chen Ze should know him.

"I'm Chen Ze, don't you recognize me?" Chen Ze looked at the strange face in front of him with shock, because Chen Ze was sure that he had never seen this face before.

"Chen Ze? My name is Li Bai." The man answered, but his face was still pale, showing his weakness at the moment.

Chen Ze was even more confused after hearing what Li Bai said. He scratched his head, looking confused. "No, your name is Li Bai. Why are you here? Weren't you taken to the bottom of the cliff?"

Li Bai shook his head. "I was thrown down halfway. There were three people, each riding a horse with a package and running away. The remaining person picked me up, but he fell off the cliff while holding me, and then their teammates threw me down."

Chen Ze: "???"

"How do you know those three people have packages?" Chen Ze asked puzzledly.

Li Bai smiled bitterly, "What do you think?"

Chen Ze: "???"

"When I woke up, my arm touched the bag. I guessed that I was abandoned in the wilderness, so I decided to look for it along the river. I found a stone tablet by the river with the words 'Dragon Veins in Shu' written on it. Then I walked along this road and walked into the canyon."

Li Bai told the story in a leisurely manner, while Chen Ze was stunned. (End of this chapter)
