After Lou Jingzhong and others returned to their respective affairs, Xia Yuxin blushed and gritted her teeth and waved her fist at Fang Shi. Fang Shi definitely did it on purpose.

However, Fang Shi said that the old man he met today was a fellow traveler, which really surprised and unwilling to do so. At that time, he just felt that this person was a fellow traveler and did not feel that this person was a fellow traveler. Could it be that this old man had actually reached the state of returning to nature?

However, looking at Fang Shi's expression, it seemed that this was not the case. Fang Shi did not show any particularly surprised expression at that time, so he could only think about it the other way around. This person was not of high level and was good at hiding his breath, so he could avoid his own eyes. Combined with the folk customs here, Xia Yuxin thought of the answer at once. This person was a wizard!

This also explains the reason why he is catching poisonous insects. Perhaps this wizard is also good at raising poisonous insects.

"That man is a wizard?"

Fang Shi nodded with a smile. He never doubted Xia Yuxin's intelligence. Sure enough, as soon as she mentioned the beginning, she accurately guessed the result.

Xia Yuxin soon thought of another question: "Even if he is a wizard, why is he inexplicably hostile to us? Has he already seen our identity?"

Fang Shi shook his head silently, looked at the dark sky and the stars that looked particularly bright in the night sky, and said softly: "Impossible, he didn't see it at that time, and he didn't even respond to my investigation."

"You have investigated him in person? Why don't I know?"

Xia Yuxin looked at Fang Shi in surprise. She cared more about the problem behind. Fang Shi was casting spells beside her at that time. She didn't notice it. The problem seemed a bit serious. But she seemed to have forgotten that Fang Shi was her companion. The more Fang Shi was, shouldn't she be happier?

"I investigated him in person, using a very secret technique. Since it is a secret technique, it is naturally not easy to detect, but the object being investigated must be more easily noticed than you. At least it will feel inappropriate, but this person has no reaction at all. Perhaps, he is a very tolerant and hidden person. But we don't know him, so can he hide so deeply?"

"Maybe he's always been so hidden."

Xia Yuxin secretly glanced at Fang Shi. She was jealous just now, which made her feel a little embarrassed.

Fang Shi nodded. This was the only explanation. Another explanation was that he had never systematically learned the method of practice. This was not surprising. The inheritance of wizards has always been inconsistent. In the past, many wizards could only pass on word of mouth. As a result, the more they passed on, the more they became, the more they became, and in the end they were simply lost.

Xia Yuxin suddenly thought: "Are you sure the hostility he showed was not caused by your investigation?"

"No, I investigated it later, because I doubted his identity."

Xia Yuxin thought about it again, but finally couldn't understand it: "Who knows, maybe there is a problem with this person's identity or his behavior, and we were alert after we caught it."

Fang Shi can only think so for the time being. After all, he is a stranger and may never meet again in the future. It is meaningless to bother with this matter.

In the evening, Li Shuya went home to sleep. Lou Jingzhong and Xia Yuxin were gathering in Fangshi's room. Lou Jingzhong was comparing the coordinate data obtained today and marked the numbers on a reprinted treasure map.

The treasure map was originally drawn on a piece of oil cloth, and the person who drew the picture was very unprofessional, and Aunt Li had never been to that place herself.

Of course, this is not a treasure map, but a roadmap, a roadmap to the deceased ancestor witch ancestral hall of the Li family, which had already disappeared. Aunt Li's father was discouraged after his disciple betrayed and his daughter could not have children, thinking that this was a punishment of heaven. He became seriously ill soon after. He sent his life experience and the inheritance of his predecessors back to the ancestor witch ancestral hall, and soon left this drawing and died.

According to Aunt Li, according to customs, every generation of formal wizards in the branch of Lijia Dazhai need to go to the ancestor witch ancestral hall to pay tribute before they can formally serve as wizards. Moreover, this system is also a kind of exchange. The wizards who return to the ancestor witch ancestral hall will leave their experiences in the ancestral hall and learn from others' experiences. Therefore, there should be many similar notes and secrets in the ancestral hall.

And these things are undoubtedly a treasure for Fangshi.

"Fangshi, I observed it today. What should I say about this map? It's basically a map-blind work. He thought he had drawn obvious marks, but the distribution of these peaks on the satellite map is not unique at all. There are countless similar places, and we can't guarantee whether the correct proportions he drew. Judging from the current situation, following this line, we have at least twenty goals."

Fang Shi smiled and reached out and drew a semicircle on the map: "Remove both the southwest directions, and we only leave the northeast directions, and then how many more?"

Lou Jingzhong took out another copy and re-drawed it according to the old picture in his hand: "There are six suspected places, provided that the proportion of the old map is correct. If the proportion of his lines is still wrong, then there will be more possibilities. In addition, why do we need to remove the two directions of the southwest?"

Fang Shi pointed to the only two Chinese characters on the map and said: "Because the direction of the characters determines the north and south of the map, isn't this line in the northeast?"

"But who stipulates that this map is going up, north, and south? Does the people who draw maps understand the rules of the map?"

"How do you know he doesn't understand?" Xia Yuxin asked back: "In fact, this map was created more than 40 years ago. At that time, he should have been exposed to modern concepts of mapping."

Fang Shi smiled and shook his head: "No, you've made a mistake. This person who drew the picture is a rigorous sorcerer, so he follows the principle of front, south, back, north, left, east, right and west. Look at where the building door representing the ancestral hall above faces?"

"Face up!"

"Yes, it's facing south, so you rotate the map by 180 degrees. This is the rule of the map now, and the route is in the northeast."

"But...this isn't necessarily true?"

"There is another proof, that is, the pattern representing Lijia Village also has a gate. This gate is the gate of Lijia Village, facing east. Do you see that on the picture are on the left?"

When Lou Jingzhong saw that, it was true, Xia Yuxin nodded in conscience: "Yes, it should be like this, Fang Shi, how did you see it?"

"You can see it after reading it a few more times. Aunt Li said that his father is a real wizard, and he must act with a wizard to demand himself, so it should be normal to use the traditional method of recording pictures."

Lou Jingzhong smiled bitterly: "The painting method of front, south, back, north, left, west, right and east is no longer needed, and it is really a pity that they can still stick to the modern times."

"It's normal to find the rituals." Xia Yuxin curled her lips and said, "So we will start exploring these six possible locations next?"

Fang Shi looked at the six routes overlapping on the satellite map and smiled bitterly: "There are no ready-made roads in these places, and it takes three to four days to walk. I'm a little worried!"

"What are we worried about? We are not ordinary people. The biggest guy in the mountain is a wild boar. I don't think there is anything to worry about."

Fang Shi shook his head, and Lou Jingzhong also said solemnly: "It's not that you are afraid of those, but poisonous insects, and spending overnight in the wild, these things are more threatening. In addition, they have the ability to deal with emergencies. When you prepare more, at least you have enough antidote and snake venom serum."

Fang Shi also said seriously: "Try to consider the situation as bad as possible. The poisonous insects here not only grow naturally, but also artificially cultivated variants. Today we have seen that there are many types of poisonous insects, and we are going to be in a place where people are rarely visited. I think it is better to be safer."

Xia Yuxin looked at Lou Jingzhong and Fang Shi. Seeing that both of them looked serious, she stopped saying anything. Safety first is yes. This is not the fully developed Qingcheng Mountain, but the deserted wilderness, and danger is everywhere.

The next day, the transportation company's carrying team was about to come out. Lou Jingzhong made another list, listing a lot of drugs, serum, etc., and added a batch of food to make a look like it was ready to stay for a long time.

Fang Shi found the boss of the pack team alone, and the two of them avoided everyone and muttered for a long time before they separated.

After seeing off the pack team, Fang Shi and the others packed their things and set off again. This time they were going to spend the night in the wild. Uncle Li knew that they were going to spend the night, and enthusiastically borrowed a hunting dog from the village, saying that there were hunting dogs to guard the safety at night.

When passing by the gate of the village, a group of children rushed past them while playing. The children turned around curiously, and most of their eyes were gathered on Xia Yuxin's face. Some naughty children were singing nursery rhymes in dialects. When they saw Li Shuya's ugly face, they knew that these children were scolding Li Shuya, and they probably were jealous of Li Shuya being able to be with this beautiful elder sister.

Fang Shi smiled with his lips and ignored Li Shuya, who was gritting his teeth, and walked with Xia Yuxin talking and laughing. He quickly walked around the hillside and could no longer see the village behind him.

The joyful hunting dog formed a strong contrast with the dejected Li Shuya. This situation continued until noon. After a hearty lunch, Li Shuya returned to her usual liveliness.

Fang Shi never asked about it, but Li Shuya himself played with the hunting dog for a while before coming over.

"Sir, is it easy to find a job in Pengcheng? I have seen Pengcheng on TV, which is such a big and beautiful city, and I want to go and see it."

"Why, don't you want to stay here?"

Li Shuya nodded vigorously: "I don't want to, I'm going to find my parents."

Fang Shi looked at Li Shuya, shook his head regretfully and said, "You can't find a job at your age. I want to go find your parents. Let's wait until you are sixteen."

Li Shuya's face suddenly collapsed: "Sixteen years old? Four years left! It's been a long time..."

Fang Shi patted his shoulder: "Four years are coming soon, the question is, are you ready to go to that bizarre world?"

Li Shuya looked at Fang Shi in confusion. That world? Is that world different from his own world? (To be continued...)
