My Way

Chapter 52 Dark under the lamp

the next day.

At noon.

Inside the library.

Ling Wuyuan put down the White Crow Gang's gang history document in his hand with a little disappointment.

After reading it over and over again many times, he still didn't see any text related to the black observatory.

There was no intention to even mention it.

This situation can only explain two situations.

Either the White Crow Gang really didn't take that thing seriously and just considered it as a pure decoration.

Or maybe the White Crow Gang has some kind of taboo about it and wants to deliberately conceal some information.

However, since the White Crow Gang had the guts to place it directly on the top of the mountain for everyone to see, without even the slightest intention of physically covering it up, there is little chance that the truth of the matter is the second guess.

The White Crow Gang probably really just treats that thing as some kind of decoration.

Deep down, I don't think that thing is worth caring about.

No one even bothers to record the information...

Faced with such a situation.

Ling Wuyuan felt both relieved and helpless.

I feel at ease. Judging from the reaction of the White Crow Gang, they probably really don't know about the treasure, otherwise, they would not have done this. The treasure must still be there.

Unfortunately, the White Crow Gang accidentally blocked the treasure hunters' path. You moved all the main landmarks of the treasure away. It would be a miracle if others could find the treasure according to the information on the treasure map...

Given the current situation.

The trio with the explosive equipment would probably not find the treasure even if they searched for a lifetime, let alone several years or decades...

If Ling Wuyuan hadn't accidentally seen the black observatory while moving things.

He couldn't find anything here either.

After all, who would have thought that the main landmark of the treasure was moved from the lakeside to the top of the mountain?
At this moment, after confirming that the gang history documents of the White Crow Gang are completely useless and cannot provide him with any valuable information at all.

Ling Wuyuan directly changed his thinking, gradually transforming his thinking from the evidence-collecting method to the exhaustive method and empathy method.

He tried to put himself in the shoes of the guy who had moved the black observatory to the top of the mountain.
-
Question one.

If you were that person, what would make you move things to the top of the mountain?
Answer: Probably because I think the appearance of the thing is okay.

The black color and the mysterious pattern make it very suitable as a decoration.

Question 2.

That thing weighs at least dozens of tons.

Although for high-level practitioners, the weight is not too heavy, but it is still a bit heavy and troublesome to carry. After all, you have to carry it to a mountain thousands of meters high. As a person with some status, would you work yourself to death just because that thing is suitable to be used as a decoration?

A: Probably not.

Therefore, the original location of the Black Observatory should not be too far from White Crow Mountain at least.

Question three.

Based on the above information, we can roughly deduce that the lake where the Black Observatory was originally located should not be too far from Baiya Mountain. Therefore, we can use Baiya Mountain as the basic center point to search the surrounding lakes from near to far, and simply use the elimination method to screen the target.

So, where is the lake closest to Baiya Mountain?
Answer: There is a lake in the town at the foot of Baiya Mountain, and that lake is actually right next to the dormitory where Ling Wuyuan lives. He can see the lake every day, and from time to time there are some fishermen fishing there.
-
'No way? '

'What is the darkest light?'

After thinking about it over and over again.

Ling Wuyuan scratched his head feeling a little annoyed.

Although he felt that the matter was a bit too coincidental, Ling Wuyuan still silently decided at this moment to explore the lake next to his dormitory at night.

Normally, he often practiced in the bamboo forest beside the lake.

But as for the lake itself, he had never conducted any exploration at all.
-
That day, around one o'clock in the morning.

Ling Wuyuan listened to the chirping of cicadas and crickets around him, and after confirming with his own dim vision that there was indeed no one around, he quietly took off his clothes and slowly swam towards the lake.

Although he hadn't swum for many years, and the last time he swam was in his previous life, after getting familiar with it for a while, he quickly adjusted his state and headed for the deepest part like a fish...

Even though it was dark, the view in the lake could only be described as pitch black to ordinary people.

But for Ling Wuyuan, who can see freely as long as there is a little light, all this is not a problem at all.

Even the dim moonlight.

It was still enough to provide him with light at the bottom of the lake.

Ten meters, twenty meters, thirty meters, forty meters...

After Ling Wuyuan dived to a depth of about 45 meters in the lake, in this pitch-black environment, he touched the mud at the bottom of the lake and saw many fish, shrimps and even water snakes in the lake.

Look around.

The largest creature around was a freshwater fish about a meter and a half long.

And looking at the other person's free swimming posture.

An idea suddenly appeared in Ling Wuyuan's mind for no reason.

"Sure enough, the reason why those fishermen came up empty-handed has nothing to do with the environment. There are plenty of fish here..."

then.

Having already hurt the Air Force fisherman, he looked around to see the rest of the situation around him, carefully examining the many things buried in the mud at the bottom of the lake.

While walking on the bottom of the lake.

While constantly kicking away the accumulated mud and debris.

Carefully observe whether there are any buried statues at the bottom of the lake.

More than half an hour later.

After two rounds of surfacing to breathe.

Ling Wuyuan finally found his ultimate goal somewhere in the middle of the lake.

It was a brown stone statue that was buried in the mud at the bottom of the lake, with only its head exposed.

It has been buried at the bottom of the lake for who knows how many years and looks extremely old.

The overall color almost blends in with the silt at the bottom of the lake.

There are even a lot of aquatic plants growing on the surface.

It can be said that it comes with a ghillie suit and camouflage color.

If his eyesight wasn't good enough, Ling Wuyuan really wouldn't be able to see it.

however.

The first moment he saw this thing, Ling Wuyuan had only one thought in his mind.

'Grass! '

'It's really dark under the lamp!'

'The treasure is hidden right at the door of my dormitory! ! '

Thinking about how he had been constantly inquiring about news over the past year or so, he was suddenly both surprised and upset.

There was no hesitation.

He immediately began to dig frantically at the thick lake mud surrounding the statue, trying to completely dig out the bottom of the statue...
