When I saw the smoke above the camp, my satellite phone rang. It was Guan Baoling.
"Feng, I have turned down all commercials and film appointments in Tokyo. I will return to Hong Kong Island with Mr. Ye tomorrow. I am really tired during this period. I really want to be alone and quiet. Don't worry about me.
, I will take good care of myself, and wish you can find Miss Su Lun as soon as possible. Don’t forget to come to Hong Kong Island together when the time comes, and I’ll treat you to a starry dinner.”
Her voice was filled with deep helplessness. After getting the news of Su Lun's disappearance, I set off and rushed here as soon as possible. Everyone can see how concerned I am for Su Lun. This will definitely hurt her.
It's just that I didn't have time to take care of her feelings. Only after losing Su Lun did I understand the importance of the other party.
"Definitely, I thank you on behalf of Su Lun. Please tell the tycoon that after rescuing Su Lun, we will definitely rush to Hong Kong Island and invite experts to help him crack the 'black magic'."
The distance between us suddenly stretched to an extreme distance, and Su Lun stood in the middle, becoming an insurmountable mountain and ravine between two people. Between her and Su Lun, I finally firmly chose the latter, and vowed
He will firmly keep his promise and will not be moved by anyone.
The heartbeat and chaos that were once in the glass box were like love, but they were just random things. Perhaps, a real man should stay with the person he loves the most and forget about the person he loves next. In the beginning,
I was fascinated by Guan Baoling's beauty and could not extricate myself. After so many things, it was not until Su Lun fell in the southwest mountains that I suddenly realized that she was the most important part of my life.
When I returned to the Concubine Hall, the lights were on in the north room, and everyone gathered around an ancient Eight Immortals table, with four hot porcelain basins in the middle. I immediately smelled the aroma of braised pork ribs and freshly cooked white steamed buns.
"Mr. Feng, have you seen Witch Longge? How is it? Did she tell where Miss Su Lun went?" Li Kang dropped the steamed bun in his hand and ran over to greet me.
I shook my head slowly, having nothing to say. Mentioning the situation just now would only bring more panic to everyone.
"Then let's eat first. Miss Su Lun is a good person and she will be fine." Li Kang sighed.
The cook in charge of the expedition team's meals once opened a restaurant outside Xianyang City. He only likes big fish and big meat with thick oil and red sauce. This is the third time I have eaten braised pork ribs since I came here. I feel very sick in my stomach.
Seeing everyone happily raising their chopsticks and eating so much, I could only reluctantly pick up a small piece and put it in the small bowl in front of me.
Only halfway through the meal, Jiang Guang suddenly raised his head and shouted: "Who? Which road is it from?" The large porcelain bowl in his hand broke into two halves with a "click", and then he raised his hand and threw it away.
As soon as the light coming out of the door dimmed, a girl wearing a cowboy outfit and a cowboy hat rushed in. She let go with a sneer, and the broken bowl thrown by Jiang Guang hit the ground with two clangs. She raised her hand and wore a brown dress.
The feet of the combat boots stepped on the broken bowls, "click, click, click" and slowly crushed them into pieces.
"Hey, little girl, which road are you on?" Jiang Guang and Jiang Liang jumped up at the same time.
The four hunters stared at the girl's rosy cheeks with fascination. They forgot to move the chopsticks in their hands and opened their mouths in a daze.
I heard the sound of clothes blowing in the wind on the roof, and four night walkers with extremely high dexterity skills instantly occupied the four corners of the roof, controlling our upward and backward exits.
Bakun stood up, wiped the saliva from his mouth, and walked forward with a smile: "Little sister, it's dark and the roads are slippery, are you afraid? We are all famous hunters who have experienced hundreds of battles in this mountain, okay?
Protect you for free..."
This group of mountain people who have never seen the world have never noticed that a set of jeans on a girl is worth 5,000 yuan. It is a top outdoor adventure clothing brand from Europe. Anyone who can casually use it as work clothes must be
You are not allowed to be teased by men at will.
"Ah -" Ba Kun suddenly knocked back, his back happened to hit the corner of the Eight Immortals' Table, there was a "click" sound, and the bones were broken somewhere, and he fell to the ground without saying a word.
I was not surprised by this inevitable result, and noticed that there was a silver moon pendant hanging on the other person's neck, shaking constantly in the light.
Jiang Guang yelled: "You are looking for death!" Then he took a long breath, his stomach bulged high, kicked off the chair, and strode forward. His maternal hard skills were somewhat impressive, but his movements were too slow and he was not lucky enough.
She is pure and 80% no match for her. I guessed the girl’s identity, but I didn’t want to stop the show right away. After Su Lun disappeared, the indifference and insensitivity shown by this group of people made me very annoyed. They should be allowed to
Slightly punished.
Tonight's fried pumpkin with bacon was a bit salty. I picked up the bowl in front of me and took a big sip of the japonica rice porridge. I stretched out my chopsticks wholeheartedly to pick up the fried peanuts on the plate. In fact, this kind of food is not suitable for locals.
It is said that it is equivalent to a sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner. For a long period of time in winter, they only lived on pickles and rice, with no meat or fresh vegetables at all. Their life was extremely isolated.
"I'm here to find him." The girl pointed to me. She wore a wide Tibetan silver bracelet on her left wrist. A large and bright oval red agate embedded in it gave off a circle of moving red light.
"Who do you care about? If you dare to act wild in front of me, I will teach your family a lesson first -"
The girl swayed and was already at the table, staring at me coldly: "Hey, someone wants to see you, come with me?"
After saying this, Jiang Guang roared angrily, covered his chest with his hands and staggered back to the corner. He was speechless and just coughed heavily.
I glanced at the anchor-shaped embroidered logo on her hat, and my eyes met her wild eyes inadvertently.
"Someone wants to see you!" She waved her hand and slapped the table. Immediately all the dishes started clinking, and half a plate of peanuts was spread all over the table.
"Little sister, if you have something to say, you have something to say..." Li Kang had just stood up when the girl slapped him in the air, causing him to scream strangely and fall over. He covered his cheeks with his hands and did not dare to say any more.
The girl's moves were as fast as lightning, and her accent was not local, so she stunned everyone.
"Are you here for a treat? Or are you here to fight?" I put down my chopsticks and stood up.
On the earthen bed in the side room, lying silently was Schiller, the once arrogant biologist, but now he is almost a vegetative state. I hope he can wake up as soon as possible and tell me what happened -
But I also hope to meet Fei Ying, if he can tell more shocking news.
"Feiyue?" I smiled and called her name.
"As a treat, if the guest disobeys, beat him until he does." She still sneered, straightening her proud little nose, and behind her thin lips were two rows of neat pearl-white teeth.
"Can you go?" She rubbed the red agate on her left wrist with her right palm and looked at the people standing aside slowly and disdainfully.
Feiyue is Feiying's sister, a famous heroine in the underworld in the southwestern border of the mainland, but many people have only heard of her name but have never seen her in person.
I nodded, and Li Kang couldn't wait to shout: "Mr. Feng, don't go, it's a dark and windy night, it's too dangerous. Besides, Miss Su Lun's whereabouts are unknown, and she's still waiting for your rescue..."
Feiyue swayed and slapped Li Kang hard on the face.
Li Kang spun twice like a funny top, coughed twice, spat out three bloody teeth, and blinked in fear: "Woman, please forgive me, Heroine, please...please..."
"When I'm talking, it's best not to interrupt casually. God has given everyone one mouth and two ears, which means everyone should listen more and speak less. Do you understand?" Feiyue's cold and arrogant gaze looked from everyone's face.
Passing by, the Jiang brothers lowered their heads submissively and did not dare to stand up and challenge him again.
I didn't want the situation to escalate further, so I briefly told Li Kang: "Take good care of Mr. Schiller, I'll be back soon."
Li Kang nodded repeatedly, no longer daring to speak. Judging from Su Lun's gentle attitude towards others, he must have spoiled these people. Someone like Fei Yue should really come out to discipline them.
Feiyue gave a long laugh and walked out of the door proudly.
The sky was gray, and although it was not a dark night, fog was rising in front of us, covering everything, and the visibility was no more than ten meters.
The four people who were hiding on the roof jumped down and turned on four powerful flashlights at the same time, shining directly to the south.
Feiyue took the lead and flew south, using all her strength in Qinggong. I don't know whether she wanted to test me or deliberately show off in front of me. I didn't want to say anything, but just followed her slowly and quickly identified the direction.
There is only a winding path to the south of the Concubine Hall, which leads to the depths of the mountain, which is the direction of "Orchid Valley" and "Ladder to Heaven". At this time, we are heading to Orchid Valley, and we will be out within fifteen minutes.
After walking for nearly two kilometers, there were fewer and fewer grass roots under our feet, and most of them turned into bare rocks.
An orange-red anti-fog light suddenly lit up in the thick fog. Feiyue breathed a sigh of relief and slowed down.
"Who? Password?" came the sound of someone pulling the bolt of a gun.
"Return from catching snakes." Feiyue's answer was really funny. It seemed that he had caught me as a "snake".
After advancing twenty meters, a small camp of tents appeared in front of them. Two sentries armed with submachine guns were crouching behind the boulder with indifferent faces, chewing gum in their mouths.
"Where's the boss?" Feiyue strode forward.
"The boss is in the main tent." One of the sentries replied respectfully and looked at me indifferently.
The air is filled with the burnt smell after the campfire is extinguished, and of course the aroma of snake repellent spray is inevitable. Although it is still early for the Waking of Insects, many animals in this jungle that are already infested with snakes and insects do not follow the natural "hibernation"
According to the rules, if you don't pay more attention, you will inevitably be killed by the snake's kiss in the end.
Next to an abruptly erected radio antenna, there was a gray tent with a tall curtain. A thin man, with his back to us, stood attentively in front of a huge military map, folding his arms and using his hands from time to time.
The pencil inside is poking at the picture.
The four people accompanying him had already left. Feiyue suddenly turned around and smiled at me: "Mr. Feng? I have admired your name for a long time!"
It seems inappropriate to say polite words now, but I still smiled calmly: "Thank you, I am just like you."
The person in the tent turned around suddenly, his eyes suddenly shining: "Feng, is that you?"
Two years ago, I saw Feiying once in the villa of the Egyptian Scalpel. Compared to that time, he had obviously gone through many changes. The wrinkles on his forehead, nose, and cheeks were dense and dense, each one deeper than the last.
The only thing that hasn't changed is those eyes like cold stars.
He held my hand firmly: "Feng, you arrived in time, great!"
From his smile, I felt a hint of anxiety, and I ignored the pleasantries: "What happened? Flying Eagle, tell me everything immediately. Did Su Lun contact you to be the follow-up force for her expedition?"
We haven’t seen each other for two years, so maybe there should be a long set of red tape before we officially meet, but we are people from the world and we are in an extraordinary period, so everything can be omitted.
Fei Ying frowned, turned around and ordered: "Fei Yue, pass the order and move forward in twenty minutes."
Feiyue looked at me, raised the corner of his mouth, and revealed a sly smile: "Brother, is it possible that as soon as Mr. Feng arrives, all your worries will be solved? I really can't see what he has.
Is your ability worthy of being so valued by you?" She took off her cowboy hat, shook her short hair, and strode towards the tent on the side.
In the small courtyard of the Concubine Hall, I never made a move, which must have disappointed her. A girl of her age is always arrogant, how can she understand the principle of keeping a low profile and biding time?
"Feng, you are right. Su Lun did ask me to be her backup, but I neglected my duty. I'm sorry for Brother Scalpel. He only has this one sister. If there are any shortcomings under my hands, I will die a hundred times."
None of them can atone for the sin, so I hope you will come and we can solve this problem together. How about we talk about everything as we go?"
Feiying's way of doing things has always been the same, always putting "mission" first.
I nodded and pointed to a huge red circle on the map: "Did Su Lun go to that circle?"
The red circle is full of dense crosses, and the words "Lan Gu" and "Tianti" are marked next to the two triangle symbols.
I browsed the same map countless times, so I immediately judged that this place is about 60 kilometers away from the entrance of Langu, and it should be a little more than 100 kilometers to reach the so-called "Ladder to Heaven". If we march overnight, we can reach it within 20 hours.
Can we make it to the entrance?
I didn't find any means of transportation in the Eagle's camp, so I could only calculate the distance on foot.
"Yes, that's the circle. She once told me that I only need to escort her past Langu from a distance. She will take care of the journey to the ladder by herself. I have seen that arrogant American young man. He
It’s so naive to think that you can conquer this jungle valley with a map and compass——”
Half an hour later, we had already set foot on the path heading south. The forty members of Feiying's command were divided into eight combat groups, forming a circular formation and advancing rapidly. Looking at the skills of these people, they were all well-trained.
He is a former SWAT team member, and most of his actions are completely in the style of the American SWAT team.
"This group of brothers all came from hiding in the border area. They have had complicated experiences. At least 30 of them are Nepalese national border guards. They couldn't stand the high pressure, so they escaped. I gave them money and a place to stay, so I felt at ease.
Come down." Feiying explained to me concisely and concisely.
I made an "understandable" gesture, and then turned to the main topic: "Flying Eagle, please tell me about Su Lun's disappearance. This is what concerns me the most."
According to Jiang Guang's explanation, they followed Su Lun and Schiller and headed south from the Concubine Palace. After walking about thirty kilometers, they encountered a stone wall with cursed scriptures written on it. The four hunters were frightened out of their wits.
, everyone stopped, and only Suellen and Schiller were left, riding two donkeys, carrying water and food and moving forward. Five hours later, a donkey ran back carrying the unconscious Schiller.
Su Lun disappeared.
It sounds like a simple process, but when Jiang Guang talked about the "cursed scriptures", the Bakun brothers turned pale again and remained silent in response to my questioning. No matter how much money was offered to tempt them, they would not let go.
"We kept a distance of 600 meters from the expedition team, and only used high-power telescopes to monitor everything in Su Lun. The connection between us is the 'Bird of Paradise' wireless walkie-talkie that the US infantry just equipped in early 2005. The straight-line communication distance will be
Over fifteen kilometers, the walkie-talkie on her body was always on, so after arriving at the stone wall, I heard every conversation they had."
He took out a piece of paper from the pocket of his down jacket, which was filled with various shorthand symbols.
"The curse comes from the Ash Cult, which should be a branch of the ancient Miao border voodoo. Ba Kun said,
