Chapter 26 The twenty-sixth first exploration of the devil's lair

"Tao Zhu on Land" Fan Fenyang is indeed worthy of being a great businessman in the Central Plains. There are three businesses in "Jincheng" alone, and the businesses are not small. Fan Fenyang laughed and said, "Brother Ruolun, among the three businesses, the biggest one is 'Fenji' bank, but the most comfortable place is 'Yingyang Restaurant'." Shen Lang smiled and said, "I just ask where is the nearest?" Fan Fenyang: "The nearest one is 'Fenji Cloth Village', but that place..." Shen Lang smiled and said, "Is there a bed there?"

Fan Fenyang said: "Of course there are." Shen Lang smiled and said, "It's good to have a bed." Panda asked: "Is there wine there?" Fan Fenyang smiled and said, "Of course there are." Panda laughed loudly and said, "Wine is fine." The three of them turned across the street and saw the golden signboard of "Fenji Cloth Shop", shining in the sun, but when they got closer, they found that the gate was tightly closed. Fan Fenyang frowned and murmured, "I'm getting lazy...hateful." He raised his hand and knocked on the door, knocking it loudly, but there was still silence inside the door.

Fan Fenyang said angrily: "Could it be that these slaves are all dead?" With a flying kick, the door was cracked - but the door was really strong, and despite the strength of his kick, he still couldn't kick the door open. But Fan Fenyang and Panda'er could already see the situation inside from this crack, they saw that not only was there no one inside, even the counter and the cloth shelves were empty, not even a piece of cloth could be seen. Panda'er laughed and said: "Not only is there no wine here, but there is no cloth here. Brother Fan, you are in the business of buying short and selling short, so it's no wonder that you will get rich."

However, Fan Fenyang's complexion changed drastically, and he forced a smile: "There must be a reason for this... There must be a reason..." I saw that in a shop next door, he had already poked his head out, stared at Fan Fenyang for a while, walked over hesitantly, and said with an apologetic smile: "Who are you looking for?" Panda laughed and said, "Who is he looking for? He is the owner of this store, don't you recognize him?" The man smiled and said, "So it's Uncle Fan... Uncle Fan has too much business, and he doesn't come here once in three years, so how could I recognize him. Zhang Chaogui is Uncle Fan's neighbor..."

Fan Fenyang was impatient for a long time, and finally cut off: "Boss Zhang, does he know what happened to our shop?" That Zhang Chaogui said: "I'm wondering too. In the middle of last night, a few large trucks suddenly came and emptied all the stock in your account. Your staff must be rushing to get the goods, so..." Before he finished speaking, Fan Fenyang and the other three left in a hurry.Fan Fenyang frowned even tighter, but Panda smiled and said, "Such a good business, even the stock is sold out, Fan Fenyang, you should be happy." Fan Fenyang said in a deep voice: "If it's an ordinary business, how can there be any reason to trade in the middle of the night? I think there must be something strange in it."

Shen Lang also frowned slightly, and murmured: "Last night... midnight..." The three of them turned two more streets, and the signboard of "Fenji Bank" was already in sight. Fan Fenyang took the lead and rushed over, only to see that the bank's business was booming, but the gate was tightly closed, and there was no one in the gate. The bank in Shanxi has an outstanding reputation. As long as you have the money notes issued by the bank in Fenji, you can use them anywhere in the world. Because Fenji's bills are always cashed in full, three hundred and sixty-five days a year, twelve hours a day, as long as the money bills are brought to the village, they can be cashed immediately.But at this moment, the "Fenji Bank" has closed its doors, and it seems that it can no longer cash in. This not only shows that the situation is serious, but it is also something that has never been seen before.

At this moment, Panda's face also lost its smile, and Fan Fenyang's expression changed even more. He rushed to the door and shouted loudly: "Shoucheng, open the door." The door finally opened, and the person who opened the door was a well-groomed middle-aged man in plain clothes. When he saw Fan Fenyang, his cautious face immediately showed surprise. This person is Fan Fenyang's right-hand man, and also his cousin Fan Shoucheng. Before the door opened, Fan Fenyang rushed in, jumped into a rage, and shouted: "Shoucheng, why are you so confused? This door cannot be closed even if you die. Have you forgotten? Do you want to remember this?" The signboard was destroyed in your hands?"

Fan Shoucheng stood with his hands down, bowed his head and said, "I know, it's just..." Fan Fenyang said: "Although money is inconvenient, with our reputation, we can transfer it to others. Besides, I know that there are at least tens of thousands of taels in the store. The money tickets we issued this year are no more than that." Fan Shoucheng bowed his head and said: "I know, but... alas! This time not only all the 40,000 taels stored in our store were taken away, but I even moved all the places that could be moved in the city." Fan Fenyang changed his face and said: "How can we have such a large account in our store? Unless someone intentionally sabotaged the situation and collected all the money tickets we issued to cash, but I can't think of anyone who would do that."

Fan Shoucheng said: "No outsider came to tear down our platform." Fan Fenyang said: "There are no outsiders, but what's going on?" Fan Shoucheng smiled wryly and said, "The one who came to pick up the money is Miss Seven." Fan Fenyang was stunned for a moment, took three steps back, sat down on the chair, and murmured: "She...it's her again." Fan Shoucheng said: "This girl came to pick up the silver, dare I not give it... She not only took the silver away, but also emptied all the silk in the cloth shop. As soon as I asked her, she rolled her eyes If you stare, you want to beat someone up."

Fan Fenyang stumbled and said, "This aunt really hurt people." Panda Er and Shen Lang who were on the side couldn't help being moved by it. Shen Lang couldn't help asking: "Did she come in person?" Fan Shoucheng said: "If she didn't come in person, it would not be so easy for me..." Panda Er said: "She came alone?" Fan Shoucheng looked at his appearance, and although he was unwilling to answer, he didn't dare not to answer. He nodded indifferently, and said lazily, "Well, alone." Panda Er said: "She can move it by herself?"

Fan Shoucheng said coldly: "If you have money, why worry about not being able to hire a carriage?" Fan Fenyang couldn't help sighing, and couldn't help but stumbled: "This girl, I knew she was a troublemaker, and now she has got so much money, plus Wang Lianhua, alas! But I don't know what trouble I will cause gone." Fan Shoucheng said with a bitter face: "There is nothing wrong with asking for money, but she took those cloths... well, I really don't know what she is going to do. Even if she needs to change eighty pieces of clothes a day, she doesn't need those clothes." Lots of cloth." Panda smiled bitterly and said: "Although Wang Lianhua's behavior is unpredictable, this girl's behavior is even more unpredictable. I, Panda, really admire it." Fan Shoucheng suddenly shouted: "So you are a panda!" Panda was taken aback again, and said, "Yes, I am Panda, you...how are you?" Fan Shoucheng let out a sigh of relief, and said with an apologetic smile: "It's nothing, it's just...it's just that Seventh Miss left a letter asking me to give it to a panda boy, Xiong Daxia. I didn't expect it to be Your Excellency." Panda laughed and said, "Of course you wouldn't expect that I don't have the appearance of a hero." Fan Shoucheng didn't dare to say any more, he took out a letter from his pocket, and said, "Miss Seven repeatedly reminded me that this letter can only be given to Hero Xiong alone, and Hero Xiong can only be read by him alone, otherwise...she will have to deal with it." I'm welcome." Panda Er said: "You are so afraid of her." Fan Shoucheng blushed, and murmured: "I...I..." Panda laughed loudly and said, "Don't be shy, let me tell you, not only you are afraid of her, but I am also afraid of her. There is almost no one here who is not afraid of her." After receiving the letter and looking at it, his complexion immediately changed, and he couldn't smile anymore. Fan Fenyang couldn't help asking: "What is written in the letter?" Panda looked at Shen Lang, touched his head, and said, "This..." Shen Lang said with a smile: "Could it be that there is something in the letter that scolds me, why don't you let me read it." Panda smiled bitterly and said, "Cough...this...cough cough..." Shen Lang said: "After all, you are an honest person. She knew that you would show me the letter, so she scolded me in the letter just to let me see it." Panda Er sighed: "In addition to scolding you, this letter also has more shocking news." The letter said: 〖Brother: My little sister poked out from Wang Lianhua's mouth. The Happy King has already entered the pass, and his whereabouts seem to be near Taihang Mountain. Brother, please pay attention. Shen Lang is mean and ruthless, hypocritical and hypocritical, the eldest brother should not make friends with him, otherwise he will be abandoned by him one day.Don't tell him this news, let him be deceived and endure hardships, the younger sister will be the happiest. Little sister Qiqi bowed her head and bowed down〗 After reading the letter, Fan Fenyang said with a wry smile: "If I didn't know her handwriting, I would really think that this letter was written by a wild man, alas! It doesn't look like the words of a boudoir girl." Panda laughed and said, "But the words are fluent, just like talking to her." Suddenly remembering all the hateful things about her, she immediately lost her smile and said loudly: "She doesn't speak like a girl, but like a robber." Shen Lang's face was solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "No matter what the words and sentences she wrote, the news is always surprising. The 'Happy King' has suddenly entered the customs. You and I really have to pay special attention." Panda Er clapped the table and said: "It's best for him to enter the customs. Didn't we want to find him in the first place? Now that he has come to our door, wouldn't it save us a lot of trouble?" Shen Lang sighed: "But things are not so easy." Panda Er said: "What's not easy, we already know his whereabouts..." Shen Lang interrupted: "Even though you and I know his whereabouts, Wang Lianhua's whereabouts are unknown, and Zhu Qiqi's mind is unpredictable..." Panda Er said loudly: "These things can be put aside for the time being." Shen Lang smiled wryly and said: "Even if these things can be put aside for the time being, will you and I alone be able to defeat him? What's more, all the guests under his door are excellent players, how can you and I despise him." Fan Fenyang immediately continued: "Exactly, I've heard for a long time that under the 'Happy King', not only the four envoys are amazing in martial arts, but also accompanied by thirty-six riders, and none of them is weak..." The panda yelled: "It turns out that you are all afraid of him, good! good...everyone is looking for him before he comes, but when he really comes, everyone is afraid that he will escape quickly." Shen Lang smiled and said, "Who said he was going to escape?" Panda said: "Since we don't want to escape, let's go to Taihang Mountain." Shen Lang pondered for a long while, then slowly said: "It is imperative to go to Taixing, but you have to promise me one thing." Panda Er said happily: "When will I not agree to your business?" Shen Lang said: "Okay, when you arrive in Taihang, even if you see the 'Happy King' and his party, you must not act rashly without my consent." Panda clapped his hands and said, "Okay, it's a deal." Fan Fenyang said: "Little brother also..." Shen Lang said: "Brother Fan, it's better not to go." Fan Fenyang smiled slightly, and said: "Although my younger brother is timid, he is not a person who is afraid of things..." Shen Lang said: "Little brother, how dare you treat Brother Fan as a coward, it's just that the 'Happy King' came here with the momentum of thunder, and my brother and Brother Mao are just chatting as detectives. It's not so easy, if Brother Fan can stay here to plan and dispatch, the younger brother will not have to worry about the future. Besides, the whereabouts of Zhu Qiqi and Wang Lianhua still needs to be inquired by Brother Fan here, otherwise how can the younger brother rest assured ?” Fan Fenyang pondered for a while, then said: "Since that's the case, I have no choice but to obey." The panda was gearing up, looked up to the sky and said with a smile: "Happy King, Happy King, I, Panda, can finally see you! I want to see if you are born with three heads and six arms, and what amazing tricks you have!" Taihang Mountain has been a place haunted by powerful and powerful people since ancient times. It is unknown how many heroes who have smashed the rivers and lakes have been created in that majestic and steep mountain. The gourd at Panda's waist was filled with luscious Shanxi Fenjiu, and he and Shen Lang walked at the foot of Taihang Mountain for two days, but there was still no sign of "Happy King". He had already drained the wine in his gourd, and he said anxiously: "There is hardly a ghost here, there is no such thing as a 'Happy King', we don't want to be deceived by that ghost girl again." Shen Lang said: "The Taihang Mountains are continuous, the mountains are vast, and they are more than a thousand miles away. There are even more secluded places in the mountains. How can they be covered in just a few days." The panda said: "But since there are so many people in the 'Happy King' and his party, they will never hide in the crevices of the rocks or the corners of the mountains. How can we not even see the shadow?" Shen Lang smiled and said: "The more people and horses in his group, the more cautious his actions will be. You and I need to hold our breath, so what's the problem if it's just a tour?" Panda sighed: "It's good to go sightseeing with you, but..." Patted the gourd on his waist, sighed, sat down on the stone, smiled wryly: "Without wine, I can hardly walk." Shen Lang said: "But you know, although wine can make people forget many things, there are also many things in the world that need to cheer up and do." Panda said: "What's the matter?" Shen Lang said: "You come with me." The two of them walked for a while, and came to a mountain depression. Shen Lang looked up at the steep mountain peak in the misty white clouds, lost his mind for a while, and said slowly: "Can you see this mountain peak?" Panda'er laughed and said, "Even though I'm addicted to alcohol, I can still see." Shen Lang said: "Above this mountain peak is the place where the 'Taihang Thirty-Six Sharp Knives' used to gather together. When these thirty-six heroes became famous in the past, they were really majestic." Panda said: "I've heard of the reputation of Taihang's fast knives. I heard that these thirty-six people can cut flies with their knives, and the one with the slowest knives once made a bet with someone in Luoyang. The copper coins were thrown on the ground, and he was able to cut all seven copper coins in half before the copper coins fell to the ground." Shen Lang smiled and said: "Exactly. You don't know how fast the person with the fastest sword skills is?" Panda shook his head and said, "I don't know, just tell me." Shen Lang said: "I don't know either... I simply can't think of it." Panda couldn't help laughing. The two laughed at each other for a long while, and the panda said again: "I heard that these thirty-six sharp knives, although their sword skills are as fast as lightning, are all big robbers who kill without blinking an eye. Except for the thirty-six people who kill each other twice a year. Outside the party, the rest of the time is spent committing crimes, and it is said that the money they have robbed is already higher than the Taihang Mountains." Shen Lang said: "That's why a peerless hero was alarmed and vowed to get rid of the thirty-six people... Well, there is a stone over there, have you seen it?" Panda followed him and saw Fang Qingshi at the foot of the mountain. This bluestone is smooth and bright, like fine copper, but there is a crack in the middle, from top to bottom, straight to the bottom, as if it was cut open by someone with a knife. Shen Lang said: "That peerless hero, counting on the time when his thirty-six people will gather, alone with his sword, when he arrives in Taihang, he will challenge his thirty-six people on this bluestone." Panda'er moved and said, "What a man, how courageous." Shen Lang said: "Naturally, the thirty-six sharp knives were not to be outdone, and went down the mountain to face the battle. The peerless hero didn't talk too much, so he drew out his long sword and slashed at the bluestone." Panda'er lost his voice: "Did he cut this boulder in half with one sword?" Shen Lang said: "That's right, this bluestone is where he used his sword to show off his power. The Taihang group of knives were naturally overwhelmed, and they all drank their blood as an oath, and they stopped from now on. That peerless hero also had a pity for his talents, so he let them go. These thirty-six people are worthy of being heroes, and they never left Taihang Mountain in their entire lives." Panda clapped his hands and laughed loudly: "It's a pleasure, it's a pleasure, it's much more enjoyable to hear such a pleasure than drinking... What else can you tell and listen." Shen Lang smiled and said: "There are so many heroes in the Central Plains, and there are heroes in Taixing... As long as you want to hear it, you can't finish talking about this kind of thing in three days and three nights. Quickly cheer up and follow me." As the two of them traveled along the way, every peak, every strange rock, and even every strange tree in the Taihang Mountains seemed to have a legend. Panda listened intently, sometimes laughed heartily, sometimes sighed, sometimes flew into a rage, sometimes filled with grief and indignation... These colorful legends of heroes, these colorful heroes, uttered in Shen Lang's mouth, seemed to come back to him alive. In the past two days, the panda not only forgot about the wine, but even the "Happy King". Before they knew it, they had circled the Taihang Mountain half a circle. At noon that day, the two of them swallowed a meal of dry food indiscriminately with the mountain spring with crushed ice.Although there is sunshine, the cold wind in the shade of the mountains is still as cold as a knife. Panda's clothes are still open, because the blood in his chest is hotter than fire.He opened his clothes, stood facing the wind, laughed and said: "Today you and I are talking about the heroic victories of those heroes in the past. A hundred years later, I wonder if someone will talk about the deeds of you, Shen Lang, and my panda?" Shen Lang smiled and said, "Even if someone says it, you and I won't be able to hear it." Panda Er said: "I can hear it. At this moment, the heroes and ghosts of the Taihang Mountains may be listening to you and me talking. They only hate that I don't have wine to toast them." Shen Lang smiled and said: "You think of wine again...here, look at the cliff over there..." Panda Er said: "What's the story there?" Shen Lang said: "That's where the 'Taihang Three Wild Goose' committed suicide." Panda frowned and said: "Suicide is a daughter's behavior. A man should not give up his good life easily even if he encounters something that cannot be resolved... This 'Taihang Sanyan' didn't dare to stand up and fight. On the contrary, if you think about it like a woman committing suicide, you can’t be considered a hero.” Shen Lang said: "If other people commit suicide, it is not a heroic act, but the suicide of the 'Taihang Three Wild Goose' really shocks the world and weeps ghosts and gods." Panda said: "Oh?" Shen Lang said: "These 'Taihang Three Wild Goose' were originally sworn brothers, but the three of them were wandering separately, and it was rare to get together on weekdays. On this day, Xueyan suddenly brought several altars of fine wine, and at the same time, he also brought Silver Goose and Tie Goose here... ...This precipitous cliff was the place where the three of them became sworn brothers in the past. Seeing that he suddenly asked them to come here, Yin Yan and Tie Yan must have a reason, so naturally they had to ask him clearly." Panda said: "What did the snow goose say?" Shen Lang said: "He didn't say anything, he just opened the wine jar and drank heavily with his brother for three days and three nights. At midnight on the third night, he suddenly knelt down." Panda Er wondered: "What is this for?" Shen Lang said: "It turned out that when he was young, he had killed a person arbitrarily, but this person treated him with insignificance. He regretted this matter all his life and felt uncomfortable. I don't know how much painstaking effort he has spent in cultivating this person's offspring..." Panda son sighed: "This snow goose can be considered conscientious." Shen Lang said: "What he did was to atone for the crime, so even though he tried his best, he did not let that person's descendants know about it. Who would have thought that when the young man grew up, he would actually seek revenge from him and would only want to take his life." Panda'er sighed: "Father's feud is irreconcilable, so it's no wonder that boy... But, since this snow goose has repented and begged for forgiveness, that boy should let him go." Shen Lang smiled wryly and said: "Even so, he knows that hatred is as heavy as a mountain, and it can't be explained by words. Besides, he is definitely not a villain who takes kindness and respects himself." Panda'er was moved and said: "So what happened to him?" Shen Lang said: "He actually made an appointment with that young man and came here to meet him." Panda Er said: "He was afraid that the matter could not be explained, so he invited his brothers together, and even knelt down to ask for help... Hmph, what kind of a hero is this?" Shen Lang sighed and said: "You are wrong. He knelt down to his brother, just begging his brother not to help at that time, and begging his brother to tell the details after seeing the end of this grievance. He asked his brother to tell People in the world, he fights fairly, and dies when he loses. He not only wants to teach the young people to be famous in the world, but also wants others not to seek revenge for him." Panda Er said: "Ah, so that's the case, will his brother agree?" Shen Lang said: "His brothers are also Yi Lie boys. Although they were embarrassed in their hearts, they all agreed. When the sky was twilight, the boy had already rushed over." Panda Er said: "Has he ever made a move?" Shen Lang sighed: "He didn't say a word, he just took the shot. That Xueyan was already determined to die, although he also fought back, but it was just a show, within thirty moves, he was hit by the young man Killer." Panda'er lost his voice: "Where's his brother?" Shen Lang said: "His brother promised a thousand gold, but he really stood by and watched him, never helping him, and watched him die at the hands of that young man. The young man laughed wildly, saying that his blood debt was over, and he was about to walk away. That Tie Yan was the most Sexuality, finally, couldn't help but tell the hidden story." Panda'er moved, "Then... so what about that young man?" Shen Lang said: "The young man was naturally stunned. I saw Yin Yan and Tie Yan, after finishing speaking, they suddenly drew out their knives and slayed themselves at the same time. They really did not want to be born on the same day, but wished to die on the same day. The young man stood in front of the corpses of the three of them for three days and three nights without saying a word. At that time, it was the severe winter, and the ice and snow had already condensed on him, gradually freezing his eyes, nose, and gradually I froze his mouth, but he still didn't move... Sigh, this young man was finally frozen to death." Panda'er was already stunned by hearing it, trembling uncontrollably, after a while, suddenly roared, jumped up, and hissed: "Their spirits are still there, they must be far away on that precipitous cliff, I have to go up and see Look." Shen Lang didn't hold him back, and the panda rushed straight up. The snow on the cliff has not yet fallen, and the cold air is about to condense into fog. The panda stood there in the white mist, as if it was just like the boy in the past, standing there dumbfounded, not moving. Shen Lang smiled and said: "The grievances and grievances of the past are like dreams. The heroes of the past have all turned into dust. The grievances and grievances in the world are nothing more than that. Why do you have to suffer so much?" Panda Er said blankly: "I... oh..." Shen Lang focused his eyes on him, and said slowly: "Could it be that this story touched some hidden pain in you?" Panda Er suddenly said: "Did you know that I also have a sworn brother?" Shen Lang said: "Oh..." Panda Er slowly said: "Others are so considerate and loyal to his sworn brothers, no matter what Xueyan does, his brothers can understand his difficulties, but I..." Shen Lang said: "Could you be sorry for your sworn brother?" Panda Er sighed leisurely: "My sworn brother, just because he was sorry for me, I hated him to the bone. In fact, he also had his own difficulties, and I should have forgiven him..." Shen Lang was silent for a while, then smiled slightly and said, "Your sworn brother is probably a woman." Panda'er was shocked, and said, "You... how do you know?" Shen Lang said: "Although you didn't tell me, I already guessed it. Since Zhu Qiqi has called you brother, otherwise... you wouldn't be easily acupointed by her." The panda lowered its head and sighed: "I knew that I would never hide anything from you. I should have told you at the time, but I..." Shen Lang smiled and said: "What's the problem? People... No matter who they are, they should have some secrets that don't need to be known by others, even if they are as close as husband and wife or brothers." The panda suddenly looked back, focused on Shen Lang, and said: "Do you have some secrets that others don't know?" Shen Lang said slowly: "Of course there are." Panda Er looked at the man in front of him who was astonishingly talented, with the wind and spirit like jade, with unfathomable martial arts, and his loyalty to the sky. He stared blankly for a while, and murmured: "Shen Lang, you are indeed a mysterious figure." Shen Lang smiled and said: "That's right! I have more secrets than anyone else." Panda Er said: "In today's world, does anyone know your background?" Shen Lang said: "I'm afraid...it's unique." Panda Er sighed: "If it were someone else, who would dare to make friends with him if his background was so secret? You... But you seem to be different from others." Shen Lang smiled and said, "What's the difference?" Panda Er said: "In any case, I always feel that even if you are unwilling to reveal your family background, what you are hiding is definitely not a crime. You...you seem to have something special that can be trusted." Shen Lang smiled and said, "Thank you." Panda Er said again: "But your smile is too elusive. Sometimes you smile very brightly, but I feel that there seems to be pain in this smile. Why don't you express your pain..." Shen Lang smiled slightly, turned his head away, and said nothing more. The panda was also silent, and the cold air on the cliff seemed to be getting heavier. Suddenly Shen Lang let out a soft cry and said, "Look, what is this?" Panda looked up and saw that the cold mist had been torn apart by the sun. His eyes pierced through the cold mist, and there was a mountain valley below. There is still snow in the mountain depressions, and the spots on the snow are messy. Not only are there ruts and horse tracks, but there also seem to be some strange things. It's just that the panda's eyesight can't see what it is. Shen Lang said: "Let's go down and have a look." He leaped down from the cliff, his clothes fluttering like a fairy. Panda laughed loudly and said, "It's so easy, I'll try it too." He gritted his teeth and jumped down, but felt that there was something pulling downwards under his feet, he took a deep breath and couldn't lift it up anymore. He wanted to change his body shape, but the strength of the pull below seemed to be getting heavier and heavier, and it was too late to say it, and finally fell heavily on the snow with a "bang". Shen Lang rushed over and said, "What's the matter?" Panda laughed and said, "Fortunately, my panda's body is made of iron, otherwise it would have fallen apart...but...it's strange, why does it look like someone stabbed me in the butt?" He struggled to stand up, only to find that something like an awl had been pierced into his buttocks, and when he pulled it out, it turned out to be a piece of chicken leg bone. The chicken bone was frozen by ice and snow, it was really as sharp as a knife. Panda frowned and said, "Unfortunately... there are chicken bones here." Shen Lang said in a low voice: "Not only are there chicken bones, I'm afraid there are other things." The two of them walked around in this snow-covered valley, one behind the other. I saw that on the snow in the valley, there were not only scattered horse tracks and ruts, but also piles of embers and some broken tiles. Panda picked up the tile, looked at it, and said, "This is a piece of wine glass." Shen Lang said: "Look at this porcelain, this wine glass is extremely expensive, even if you are a rich family, you may not easily take out this wine glass to entertain guests for tea." Panda Er said: "But this person used it to drink in the mountains, and it broke." The two looked at each other before walking forward. Shen Lang suddenly picked up something from the ground and said, "Look!" Panda already saw that what he picked up was a bead ring, the pearl was about the size of a longan's eye core, with a soft luster and delicate carving. Shen Lang sighed: "The value of just this earring is enough for an ordinary person to live for a year..." Panda Er said: "But this person didn't take it seriously at all, even if he lost it, he didn't care." The two looked at each other again, and walked faster. Where the snow faces the sun, there are dozens of deep holes the size of a sea bowl, six in each row, several feet deep, and the distance between each row is at least ten feet away. Panda frowned and said, "What is this?" Shen Lang pondered and said: "It seems that this must have been left when they camped and piling." The panda was moved and said: "With such a big and deep hole, the wooden stake must be as big as the beams and pillars of ordinary people? The wooden stake is already so big, isn't the tent even more terrifying?" Shen Lang said in a deep voice: "Even if it is the residence of a Mongolian prince, it is nothing more than that." Panda Er said: "But this person spends so much time sleeping in the open." The two looked at each other, and both of them stopped, you looked at me, I looked at you, although they stopped talking, they both already knew it in their hearts. Happy King! So grand, so extravagant, who else but Happy King. Panda Er murmured: "Sure enough, Zhu Qiqi never lied to me, as expected he has come." Shen Lang said: "Look at the situation, not only is he accompanied by thirty-six riders, but he also has a concubine with him. He came here in such a big way, doesn't it mean he doesn't want to go back anymore?" Panda'er gritted his teeth and said, "He wants to go back, but he can't." Shen Lang stared at a white cloud in the sky, remained silent for a while, and said leisurely, "I don't know if Jin Wuwang has come yet?" The "Happy King" is really powerful, and he doesn't know what method to use, and he doesn't know what secret path he is taking. Panda Er and Shen Lang chased the rutted horse track on the snowy ground, and Fang Zi chased out of the valley, but the rutted horse track suddenly Miraculously disappeared completely. There were no traces of sweeping on the snow. Panda'er said bitterly: "This fellow is indeed an old fox. He is so powerful, yet he is afraid of being followed, even in such a ghostly place." Shen Lang sighed: "Such a heroic figure naturally refuses to miss a single step in his actions. Even if he is not afraid of being followed by others, he still has to do so." Panda said: "Why? Did he meet a ghost?" Shen Lang said: "Wherever this kind of person goes, no matter what he does, he always tries his best to spread a lot of mystery and fog around him, so that no one can figure it out." Panda'er gritted his teeth with hatred, and said: "No wonder I often hear people say that the more so-called 'heroes', the more villainous, the more suspicious they are, and even the closest people around them will be suspicious. We need to do something." Shen Lang sighed, "Exactly." Panda walked around on the snow with his head lowered for two times, then suddenly raised his head and said, "But the snow doesn't seem to have been swept by people, and under such circumstances, they will certainly not go back..." Shen Lang nodded and said: "People can go backwards, but with so many horses and chariots, it is impossible." Panda Er said: "Then why did the rutted horse tracks suddenly disappear?" Shen Lang said slowly: "I have encountered this situation once before, it was outside the tomb, and they followed the original footprints back..." Panda said: "The second time is on that mountain?" Shen Lang said: "That's right, that's when he suddenly walked into the tunnel." Panda said: "Yes! That's why it's so strange. Horses and chariots can't go backwards, and there is absolutely no tunnel here. Could it be that they flew into the sky?" Shen Lang focused his eyes on the snow field, and saw the deep sun shining on the snow field, like a white and shining mirror. Panda couldn't help but said: "There is nothing weird here, can you see something else?" Shen Lang was silent for a while, then slowly said: "I just saw it." Panda Er wondered, "What did you see?" Shen Lang said: "You said that there is nothing weird in this snow field, yes, it is because there is no weirdness in this snow field, so there are strange things." Panda frowned, smiled wryly and said, "God, what you said is really hard to understand." Shen Lang said: "Can't you see something special about this snow field?" Panda looked left and right, looked forward and back, but still couldn't see where the snow was so special—there were no marks on the snow. He could only smile wryly and shook his head, saying: "If there is something special about this snow field, I think I'm blind." Shen Lang sighed, and said: "Do you see that this snow field is very clean and tidy?" Panda said: "Yes! It's too clean." Shen Lang said: "But it has been snowing for two or three days, so this snow has also been there for two or three days. This place is a deep mountain, but after two or three days, how can this snow land be so clean?" Panda Er said: "Mmmmmm, not bad." Shen Lang said: "Not to mention ordinary snow, it is impossible to be so smooth... This snow field is almost like a painting, it can be used as a mirror." Panda couldn't stop nodding, and said, "Yes! Makes sense..." Shen Lang said: "So you should understand." Panda'er smiled wryly and said, "I still don't understand, this...what the hell...but...well, you better tell me quickly." Shen Lang smiled slightly: "It's just because this snow field was paved artificially." Panda lost his voice and said, "It's made artificially!" Shen Lang said: "That's right, they swept the rutted horse tracks on the ground first, and then brought fresh snow from other places and paved it manually." Panda sighed: "What a boy, you are willing to put in so much effort." Shen Lang said with a smile: "Anyway, it's not him who does the hard work." Panda Er said: "Now I finally know that there are three ways to eliminate footprints in the snow and hide and track them. It's a pity... I will never use them in my life." The days are short, and the blink of an eye is dusk. Shen Lang and Panda Er chased through three more mountain depressions. Panda's eyes were really cat-like, wide open, never letting go of a clue, but he didn't find even a clue. The stars are rising and the night is getting darker. Panda sighed a long time, and said dejectedly: "Another day has passed... It has passed in vain." Shen Lang said: "This day has not passed yet." Panda Er said: "But it's already dark." Shen Lang smiled slightly and said, "What's wrong with it being dark?" Panda sighed: "We can't find any clues during the day, so it's dark..." Shen Lang laughed and said: "I can't find it during the day, but there is hope when it gets dark." Panda'er straightened his eyes and said with a smile, "Don't really think I'm a cat, you won't see clearly until dark." Shen Lang said: "Although Happy King has a lot of tricks, but when it gets dark, will he not light the lamp?" Panda was startled, clapped his hands and laughed loudly: "That's right! Sure enough, it's easier to find him when it's dark. As long as he lights up the lamp, we can see it no matter how far away... No matter how powerful he is, if he wants to find it in this dark It's not easy to hide lights in the mountains." The two cheered up and walked forward. The wind howled softly, the stars were dim, and in the vast mountainous area, the silence was as dead. Panda could hear nothing but his own breathing. He couldn't hold back anymore, and murmured: "Could it be that we are chasing in the wrong direction?" After it was time for a cup of tea, Shen Lang walked more than a hundred zhang away, but Shen Lang didn't answer, but suddenly, he smiled and said: "Look, what is that?" light!无边的黑暗中，赫然有了一点灯光。 熊猫儿不等他再说第二句话，早已扑了过去。沈浪寸步不离跟在他身后，沉声道：“对付此人，切切不可大意。” 黑暗中的灯光总是难辨远近，有时那灯光明明瞧着很近，却偏偏很远；有时瞧着很远，却又偏偏很近。 沈浪一句话说完，熊猫儿还未答话，那灯光已赫然到了眼前——只见一块巨大的青石上，摆着盏孤灯。 灯光有如鬼火般闪烁不定，青石上的残雪，也不知被谁打扫得干干净净，但四下却连鬼影也瞧不见一个。 虽然没有人，熊猫儿还是不禁心跳了起来——他虽然心跳了起来，还是一步步走了过去。 灯，金光闪闪，竟是黄金所铸。 熊猫儿咬牙道：“好小子，连灯也是金子做的。却不知他留下这样一盏灯，在这里又是在耍什么花样。” 沈浪面色凝重，缓缓道：“他这盏灯是留给咱们的。” 熊猫儿突地住足，道：“留给咱们的？莫非是诱人的陷阱？” 沈浪道：“他若以为这小小的陷阱也能害得到咱们，他便不是'快活王'了。” 熊猫儿皱眉道：“这话我又不太懂。” 沈浪道：“像他这样的枭雄人物，决不会轻易低估对方的实力。” 熊猫儿拍掌笑道：“不错，尤其对方是沈浪，他纵未见过沈浪，也谈听说过沈浪的名字。他若以为略施小计便可害得到沈浪，他就是呆子了。” 沈浪微微笑道：“正是此理。” 熊猫儿忽又皱眉道：“但……但话又说回来了，他又怎会知道是沈浪在找他？” 沈浪沉声道：“瞧他的行事，说不定早已在此山中遍布暗哨，说不定……” 熊猫儿道：“无论怎样，待我先去瞧瞧。” 他谨慎了半天，终于还是忍不住原来的脾气，不等沈浪再说话，一个箭步，就窜了过去。 金灯下，竟压着张纸，上面写着：“沈浪！你要找我么？好，沿着这条路来吧。” 这简简单单十几个字旁边，竟画着幅详详细细的地图，说明了这条路通向哪里，路是如何走法。 也注明了他的驻宿之地。 熊猫儿苦笑道：“好小子，居然还怕咱们找不着他，居然连地图都画出来了。” 沈浪叹道：“此人行事，当真是人所难测。” 熊猫儿道：“但……这幅地图会不会是假的？” 沈浪沉吟道：“极有可能，他故意留下这地图，要你我上当。我等若是真的按图而行，说不定非但永远找不着他，反而离他越来越远。” 熊猫儿道：“但他并不怕咱们，又何必如此？” 沈浪叹道：“所以此图也极有可能是真的。” 熊猫儿沉吟着道：“这地图若是真的，咱们若是照着图走，他便可从从容容等在那里，从从容容布下各种陷阱……这样，咱们岂非等于自己送上门去？” Shen Lang said: "Exactly." 熊猫儿道：“但咱们虽然明知如此，不照这张图走也不行呀……若不照着这张图走，却叫咱们走哪条路？” 沈浪长叹道：“这正是此人的厉害之处，他正要令我们左右为难，举棋难定。单只这一点，他便已占了上风。” 熊猫儿道：“这可真是叫人头疼……照着图走既不行，不照着图走也不行。我看见这纸条时，本以为是件很简单的事，哪知却越想越复杂，越想越想不通。早知如此，不去想它反而好了。” 沈浪说道：“世上有些事正是如此，越想得多，顾虑越多，于是就做不成了；若是不想就做，反而说不定能做得通。世上有许多轰轰烈烈的大事，正是不想就做而做出来的；若是仔细想过，便不会做了。” 他这简简单单几句话中，正包含着许多极高深的哲理。熊猫儿听得连连点头，拊掌大笑道：“说得好！说得好！我真想不到你也会说出这种话来。只是……只是咱们此刻偏偏已想过了，那又当如何是好？” 沈浪微笑道：“纵然想过，咱们也可当作根本未曾想过的。” 熊猫儿大喜道：“既是如此，咱们不管三七二十一，就照着图走吧。我本已从你那里学会，无论遇着什么事，都先动脑筋想一想，如今我却又从你那里学会，若遇着无可奈何之事，还是不去想的好。” 沈浪笑道：“但你却也要等到想过之后，才会知道什么是无可奈何之事，是么？” 熊猫儿凝思良久，终于拍掌道：“不错，这道理我总算想通了。” 这道理骤听似是完全矛盾，其实却完全统一。
