Dian is another abbreviation for Yunnan, and it is also an ancient country.
In the area near Dianchi Lake in eastern Yunnan Province today, the ancient Dian Kingdom (278 BC - 109 BC) was a slave empire established by ancient ethnic minorities in Yunnan.
It flourished on the shore of Dianchi Lake and flourished from the Warring States Period to the Western Han Dynasty. Because it was located in a corner of the southwest and far away from the sight of the Central Plains, the ancient Dian Kingdom had been lost in the dust of history for a long time, appearing mysterious and bizarre.
According to documentary records and archaeological discoveries, the ancient Dian Kingdom existed for more than five hundred years in history.
In 109 BC, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent troops to conquer Yunnan. The King of Dian surrendered to the Han Dynasty. Emperor Wu gave the King of Dian a gold seal and a jade slip that concealed a great secret. It is clearly recorded in historical materials:
"A generation of Dian king ordered him to rest in the Dian Mountains again. A vision came from the sky, and he was buried with dozens of carriages and horses, as well as maids and countless slaves."
The seal of the King of Dian, made of pure gold, was unearthed alone in Shizhai Mountain, Jinning two thousand years later.
However, the whereabouts of the real ancient tomb of King Dian and the jade slip containing the great secret have not yet been found.
And that group of tomb robbers led by the Nine-Headed Buddha, which has the most advanced technology and equipment in the country, their goal this time is the tomb of the King of Dian on Mount Dian!
Zhao Man's driving speed is consistent with her personality. She can go faster and never be slower for a second.
Originally, she had done a very good job in her previous job, but because she couldn't stand it, her boss kept taking new interns to drink, so she got angry and exposed her leadership on the Internet, which caused a lot of publicity.
On the day when the leader stepped down, Zhao Man submitted his resignation letter and left gracefully.
Zhao Man, who lost her job, could have relied on her substantial family resources to start her own business, but she did not hesitate to devote herself to the work she loved most, which was the protection and excavation of cultural relics.
After working for a period of time, she learned that the Nine-Headed Buddha and other famous tomb robbers were going to Dian Mountain to steal the tomb of the King of Dian, so she volunteered to apply to the leader for her to be responsible for the cultural relics protection task this time.
The leaders of the Cultural Relics Bureau do not trust Zhao Man. Although her background and resume can give her a lot of points, after all, she has just joined the Cultural Relics Bureau not long ago, lacks work experience, and it is a long way to Mount Yunnan, so many things may happen.
An uncontrollable accident made the leader completely uneasy about letting a girl lead the team.
Although Zhao Man repeatedly promised and even issued a "military order", she still did not gain the trust of the leader. She was only added to the action team to protect cultural relics. The captain was Peng Changsheng, the older deputy director of the Institute of Ancient Culture.
Serve as the leader of this cultural relics protection operation team.
Zhao Man has always had a strong personality. Although she did not gain the appreciation and trust of her leaders this time, she has secretly made up her mind that no matter what, she must go all out to complete the cultural relic protection task of this trip to Mount Yunnan!
Because the difficulty and risk of this mission are very high, and the other group of tomb robbers are not only cunning and insidious, but they are also masters who lick blood from the edge of the knife and are willing to risk their lives when encountering trouble.
Then Zhao Man thought of Zuo Shisan. If he, a Taoist master of the Dragon and Tiger Sect, was involved in this action to protect cultural relics, the so-called Nine-Headed Buddha and others would not be afraid.
But what Zhao Man didn't expect was that the current Zuo Shisan was just like the one who moved Liu in the past.
…
Although Zuo Shisan and Zhao Man have different missions, their destinations are coincidentally the same.
Zuo Shisan, who was in the Taoist temple, told An Rushuang and Fatty about the plan to set off with Zhao Man. As soon as Fatty heard Zhao Man's name, he stopped playing the game and immediately became energetic:
"Brother, please help me say hello to Zhao Man. The last time I added her on WeChat, I didn't get through. She was rejected several times."
Zuo Shisan was a little surprised because he couldn't figure out why Zhao Man refused Fatty's friend requests many times.
“Fat man, what’s your WeChat name?”
"Aixinjueluo-Yi Jun." the fat man said.
"Oh my god, with a name like yours, it would be weird if someone passes the exam." Zuo Shisan said, taking out his phone and recommending Zhao Man's WeChat account to Fatty.
Fatty added Zhao Man as a friend through Zuo Shisan's recommendation, and he was approved within a short time.
After Fatty got Zhao Man's WeChat account, he was so excited that he almost jumped:
"Brother, please come over quickly and help me think about it. How should I start my first sentence with the goddess?"
"Think about it for yourself, I have never chased a girl." Zuo Shisan said.
The fat man looked contemptuous:
"You want to chase her, and see if your wife doesn't break your legs."
After Fatty got Zhao Man's WeChat account, he sat aside and studied how to find a topic to chat with the goddess in his heart, trying to leave a better impression.
After the fat man left, Zuo Shisan was sorting out the equipment they needed for this trip. An Rushuang walked out of the house and said to Zuo Shisan:
"Thirteen, I'm going out to the town to buy some things. I'll be back soon."
"Rushuang, I'll go with you!" After what happened to Ye Long last time, Zuo Shisan was now particularly worried about An Rushuang going out alone.
"Okay!" An Rushuang smiled and walked to Zuo Shisan and took his arm.
The two came to the market in a nearby town. An Rushuang took out a list she made and started buying: a waterproof map of Yunnan, various repellent drugs, waterproof boots, binoculars and several sets of raincoats, etc.
Waiting for many outdoor products...
When Zuo Shisan saw the items purchased by An Rushuang, he secretly sighed that Rushuang had thought carefully.
This time when they go to Yunnan Mountain, they will definitely have to pass through the Valley of Death and a tropical rain forest. Insect repellent and waterproofing are particularly important.
Now that all my cultivation has been lost, these external protections are particularly important.
Although An Rushuang has become an ordinary person and no longer has the thousand years of Taoism she had before, her IQ and mental perception are far beyond those of normal people.
In particular, her mental perception can even predict the items they will need for their actions and even what will happen next. An Rushuang's strong mental prediction ability has reminded Zuo Shisan many times before, so that he can prepare things in advance.
Be prepared to save the day.
After the purchase was completed, the two returned to the Taoist Temple.
Zuo Shisan received a text message from Zhao Man. In the text message, she told Zuo Shisan the time of departure tomorrow and the meeting place.
Because they also brought a lot of contraband during this operation, they could only drive there by themselves.
Zuo Shisan and others made all preparations that day, rested early, recharged their batteries, and prepared for tomorrow's departure.
——
Early in the morning, under the early morning sunshine, the three of them once again counted the equipment needed for the operation. After all the equipment was correct, they loaded it all into the vehicle and were ready to set off.
Before departure, Zuo Shisan rejected Li Cuicui's request to go with them.
There was no shortage of food and drink in the Taoist temple, enough for her and Taotie to live here for a long time.
The three of them got in the car and set off early, heading all the way to the meeting point mentioned in Zhao Man's text message.
