It was already late at night when Zhou Mingrui arrived at the foot of Changbai Mountain by train, so he randomly found a hotel to stay.
Because it is a scenic spot, the prices of the surrounding hotels and hotels are relatively high. But fortunately, this period is not the peak tourist season, so the prices will be relatively lower. This makes Zhou Mingrui breathe a sigh of relief.
At 9 o'clock in the morning, he took the hotel shuttle bus and arrived at the West Scenic Area Visitor Center in 5 minutes.
When I went out in the morning, the sky was clear and the weather was fine. Unexpectedly, when the car entered the mountain gate, it was covered with dark clouds. Soon the windshield was filled with raindrops. The gloomy sky cast a touch of gloom on Zhou Mingrui's mood.
Looking at the violent storm howling outside, Zhou Mingrui had a worried look on his face.
Did Mr. World really have an accident?
…………
Chicago Airport.
"Hurry up!" Elaine said to Old Tang angrily, "It will be too late soon. It seems that the main body is going to the place where the 'world' disappeared."
Old Tang carried his suitcase and followed Elaine helplessly: "What can happen to Brother Fool and the World?"
He didn't believe what would happen to the idiot brother who was a god and a "world" whose strength could defeat the Dragon King.
"The main body is still in a deep sleep. When encountering a dangerous situation, it cannot react at all. And if the main body is forcibly awakened, there will be serious consequences." Elaine explained: "And the world
'It's also very dangerous over there. Even though each of us seems to be able to break away from the body and act independently, in fact there are invisible lines connecting each of us to the body. The state of the 'world' is obviously lost.
Connected”
"What will happen if we lose contact?" Old Tang asked doubtfully.
"Of course it will get out of control." Elaine pointed to her face, "The appearance we usually create with our abilities will definitely collapse and expose our original face. And not only that, it will even fall into chaos.
among.”
As she spoke, Elaine covered her face. When she raised her head again, her face was densely covered with ferocious flesh buds, which looked very terrifying and polluted people's spirits.
Old Tang's skin almost fell off when he saw it.
"No, no, no, take it back quickly. I understand." Old Tang waved his hand quickly.
"By the way, don't you have some kind of speech spirit that can teleport? Why don't you teleport to Changbai Mountain?"
"That's the door's ability... If you want to get to that place, you have to go there before, and then build up the scene of that place in your mind before you can transfer it." Elaine sighed, "I didn't go there.
Passing Changbai Mountain."
Although the main body once visited Changbai Mountain in the old days, Elaine only vaguely remembered it and did not have much impression of Changbai Mountain. Besides, the world is different, what if the location is also different?
"...For this matter, I specifically asked for a month's leave. I didn't even take Constantine with me." Old Tang said with a slight regret, "I thought I could take this opportunity to make a fool of myself.
What’s the teacher’s addiction?”
"You built that bronze door. You should be the most familiar with it." Elaine patted Old Tang on the shoulder, "The key to finding Mr. World lies with you."
"I know...the plane is coming soon."

"Don't go any further." The local tour guide said to Zhou Mingrui helplessly, "If you continue to go inside, it will no longer be an open place in the scenic spot. It is almost an uninhabited area. There are not many people going there.
."
"Ah, it's okay." Zhou Mingrui joked seriously, "My friend is a professional explorer of a scientific expedition team. He is here to accompany others on this scientific expedition mission. It's on that snow-capped mountain.
Come on, I'll meet him."
Zhou Mingrui casually pointed at a white dot in the distance and looked at the tour guide sincerely.
The tour guide looked up and down with some suspicion. This guy looked like he was just an otaku. If it was true that his friend was on a scientific expedition as he said, then this guy who looked like he had never been trained,
Wouldn't it be a hindrance to follow?
"What's your friend's name?" the tour guide asked suspiciously.
Of course Zhou Mingrui would not say Mr. World. After all, anyone who knew the name would know it if they were bounty hunters. He just casually mentioned the name of a liar.
As a result, the tour guide showed a clear look: "It turns out he is leading the team. Yes, this scientific expedition team happens to be performing tasks in Changbai Mountain these days. If so, I will feel relieved."
As the tour guide spoke, he patted Zhou Mingrui on the shoulder: "Be careful. Although the terrain here is not too dangerous, you still have to be careful. After all, accidents can easily happen in the deep mountains and old forests."
"?" Zhou Mingrui was stunned for a moment.
Is the liar's name he reported so famous? It's really a scientific expedition team...
Could it be that the statement they made about their mission to the outside world was that they went to Changbai Mountain for scientific research?
This is not impossible.
After all, when a hunter performs a mission, he must not clearly state what he is going to do. Generally speaking, he has a clear identity.
"Okay." Zhou Mingrui nodded and patted the mountaineering equipment he bought around him in the morning. "I'm ready."
The tour guide looked at the snow mountain he was pointing at and said with some emotion.
"That snow mountain is quite famous. It's called Little Saint Snow Peak. It's one of the mysterious Three Saint Mountains. Legend has it that the Three Saint Mountains were a snow mountain in the prehistoric era. When Dayu was controlling floods, he passed by here and chopped it with a magic blade.
After two clicks, one mountain turned into three. There is also a legend about this mountain. It is said that thousands of years ago, this Changbai Mountain was ruled by an evil dragon."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Evil dragon?" Zhou Mingrui was stunned for a moment, and asked curiously, "Is it also related to the evil dragon?"
Zhou Mingrui wouldn't be surprised if any of the famous scenic spots are related to Dayu. After all, the myths and legends in many places, in order to pursue antiquity and mystery, often push the date back to an earlier era.
There were many of them in Dayu's time.
But when it comes to evil dragons, it's a bit like Western myths and legends. Zhou Mingrui felt a little strange.
The tour guide cleared his throat, deliberately put it off, and said mysteriously:
"After going up to these three snow-capped mountains, the surrounding scenery you see is completely different. For example, on the Little Saint Snow Peak, you can see the Three Saints and the Great Saint, but on the Great Saint Peak, you can only see
It is very strange that there are no small holy peaks in the Three Holy Peaks. The most peculiar thing is still on the Three Holy Mountains. In addition to the two large and small holy peaks on both sides, you can also see the three holy peaks behind the Three Holy Mountains and
Far away from it, there is a snow-capped mountain that is more majestic than the Three Sacred Mountains, called Tianti Peak."
"That mountain is shrouded in clouds and mist all year round, and its true appearance is hidden. Legend has it that there is a ladder to heaven on the mountain. Once you walk up the ladder and enter the gate of heaven, you can go directly to the heavenly palace, which is the passage between the human world and the fairyland. If the sky is high and the air is cool, you can go straight to the heavenly palace.
You can see a rainbow-like glow appearing between Tianti Peak and the Holy Mountains, which is like a fairy brush painting, beautiful and strange."
"And this Tianmen, according to legend, was made by the evil dragon. If there was not already a Tianmen Mountain, I guess this place should be called Tianmen Mountain."
"Who is that evil dragon?" Zhou Mingrui was intrigued by the tour guide.
"According to legend, a long time ago, there was an evil dragon covered in flames. Suddenly one day, he heard that if a heavenly gate was built in Changbai Mountain, he could successfully ascend to heaven, so he came to Changbai Mountain.
, and occupied all the villages and towns around Changbai Mountain in a very barbaric manner. The raging fire burned the farmers' houses and fields, and also damaged the exquisite and luxurious palaces."
"People at that time were forced by the evil dragon and had to leave their homes."
"At that time, there was a country around Changbai Mountain. The princess in it was very kind. She looked at the people who were forced to leave their homeland and the displaced people. She felt very sad. So she declared to the world that if any warrior
If you can defeat the dragon, then marry him."
"Finally, a brave man stepped forward and took the princess to fight against the evil dragon. However, he did not expect that the evil dragon was very powerful. During the fight against the evil dragon, the brave man was accidentally killed by the evil dragon."
"Then the princess was very angry. She pulled out a very sharp sword from the warrior's body and killed the dragon directly. During the battle between the princess and the dragon, the princess used the sharp sword to split the mountain into
Three of them were built, thus forming the current Three Sacred Mountains."
"..." Zhou Mingrui.
After hearing this myth and legend, Zhou Mingrui couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
At first, he thought it was the traditional story of a brave man fighting an evil dragon for the princess, and then the brave man killed the evil dragon and finally married the princess.
But I didn’t expect that the final ending would be for the princess to kill the evil dragon?
What the hell is this?!
"..." Some of the cats and insects sitting in Zhou Mingrui's body listening involuntarily fell silent after hearing this myth and legend.
Then he silently answered the call on Elaine's side and told Elaine the story exactly as it was.
They finally figured out that the evil dragon in myths and legends was Old Tang, but that princess...
When Elaine heard this strange legend, she was stunned for a long time, and then couldn't help but turn her head and look at the decadent uncle next to her.
"Do you know the legend of Changbai Mountain?"
"What?"
Old Tang was puzzled.
So Elaine once again told Old Tang the strange legend.
"..." Old Tang.
He was really shocked by this weird myth and legend. What kind of mess is this?
Old Tang couldn't help but look through his past memories, and then he was completely stunned.
"If...probably...maybe..." Old Tang replied hesitantly, "That princess is actually me..."
"???"
Elaine stared at the bearded uncle in front of her with wide eyes. Combined with the image of a princess that she had previously known, she felt that her worldview had collapsed for a moment.
Two suspicious blushes appeared on Old Tang's face: "That evil dragon covered in fire is actually Constantine."
"Didn't I say it at the beginning? I built a Nibelung in that place, and then used bronze doors on both sides as entrances. I have always been dependent on Constantine. When I was building, Constantine
I’m also watching from the sidelines.”
"Then I used the Nibelung as a temporary stronghold and placed Constantine here. After that, I went down the mountain. Similar to what Gongsun's men did, I also found a human empire and blended in.
Among them, disguise yourself."
"Then one day, Constantine was accidentally seen by others when he came out. The people around him were so scared that they ran away. After the emperor knew about this, he indeed recruited warriors from all over the world to fight the dragon."
"Then another human and I took this mission along the way. Of course, for Constantine's safety, I killed that human halfway. Then I came to Constantine alone. I pretended to fight.
After a while, they faked signs of a fight and took Constantine away."
"Maybe it was at that time that those three mountains were left behind."
"Let me state it in advance, there really were no such messy princesses at that time. There was no title for princess at that time. It was in the early Western Zhou Dynasty. I mixed up with the Emperor of Zhou, established meritorious deeds, and became a grand duke, so at that time
People do call me 'gong', but I'm not really a princess!"
Old Tang explained with some collapse.
"These are all weird myths spread casually by future generations. They have nothing to do with me at all."
"Pfft hahahahaha!" After listening to Old Tang's explanation, Elaine let out a wild laugh, clutching her stomach and even getting cramps from laughing. People on the left, right, and behind the plane couldn't help but look sideways.
Old Tang's face was almost as dark as the bottom of the pot.
…………
Zhou Mingrui once again carefully studied the task given to Mr. World, then raised his head and looked at the white snow-capped mountains in the distance.
"If you go by the latitude and longitude coordinates, then it is indeed near here."
Zhou Mingrui recalled what the tour guide told him about the legend about Tianmen: "Is it possible that Mr. World's mission is about this Tianmen? Indeed, if it was a long time ago, the technology of that era was not enough to smelt iron, so it was cast
The Tianmen should be made of bronze."
"And Mr. World's mission is related to the King of Bronze and Fire..."
"Maybe it's in the Tianmen? But whether there is a Tianmen or not is still a mystery..."
Zhou Mingrui muttered quietly while walking towards the Tianti Mountain.
