Chapter 355: The ever-changing clouds and rain are really annoying
A few days passed in the blink of an eye, and the residents of the temporary camp had changed. Only then did Shirley Yang return with the Muchen Bead she had stripped out.
"What kind of Muchen Bead is this?" Wang Kaixuan asked in surprise as he looked at the eyeball-like jade beads in the container in front of him.
At this moment, Chen Ziyan and his party were all sitting around the table, looking at the Muchen Beads placed in a special container in the center.
The shape of this Muchen Bead is close to an ellipse. It looks like a giant jade eyeball, but its crystal clear texture makes it look extremely extraordinary. Its natural lines are like burning flames. No wonder there is a phoenix.
Another name for courage.
"Yes, I have carefully compared it according to the records left by our ancestors. This is indeed the Muchen Bead we are looking for." Shirley Yang said with certainty.
As for identifying the authenticity of Muchen Pearl, she, a descendant of Banshan, undoubtedly has the most say.
It can be said that apart from those who had personally come into contact with the Muchen Bead, only the Banshan family, who have been tirelessly pursuing the Muchen Bead for thousands of years, are the most familiar with this thing.
After all, the Bishan lineage has been studied for thousands of years. Even if we haven't seen the actual object, we have already clarified its characteristics based on the various classics collected.
Otherwise, the next generation would not know each other when they met, and the pursuit of thousands of years would become a joke.
"Master Chen, now that everything is ready, should we set off?" Hu Bayi withdrew his gaze and asked.
Although he didn't know what the overall situation was now, he vaguely discovered something based on the unusual behavior at the Crescent Hotel. He felt that since he could move on to the next step, there was no need to stay here too long.
Although he never said anything about the ghost cave curse, he never let it go. It would be great if it could be lifted earlier.
"It's really time to go." Chen Ziyan nodded lightly after hearing this, and then looked at Chen Yulou beside him: "Uncle, are you going to Lao Jin's place, or are you going directly back to your hometown in Xiangyin?"
Chen Ziyan does not plan to take his elders with him this time. Although there is a temporary camp on the other side of the snowy area, according to what Sheng Shengman means, there will probably be a storm.
Although he recognizes the strength of the Crescent Hotel, who can say for sure about this kind of thing? Since he already knows it, there is no need to get involved.
"I'd better go back to my hometown." Chen Yulou thought for a while and said with a smile.
He also knew the specific situation and the profound meaning behind Chen Ziyan's two choices.
In fact, when he came with him this time, in addition to being worried about the tomb of King Xian, he also wanted to conduct a practical inspection.
Now that his nephew has shown himself excellent abilities, there is no need for him to follow him anymore, so he simply chose to return to his hometown in Xiangyin.
Seeing that Chen Ziyan had made a decision, Chen Ziyan said to Hu Bayi: "Old Hu, I think it's better to ask Sister Sitian to help me and send the old man off then."
Because the meteorites in Worm Valley are relatively important, Ding Sitian, as the temporary person in charge, also needs to be responsible for escorting, so Chen Ziyan plans to let her serve as a bodyguard, so that there is no need to send puppets to escort Chen Yulou, and he can concentrate his efforts.
Prepare for the adventure ahead.
"That's no problem. I'll tell her tonight." Hu Bayi immediately agreed on behalf of Ding Sitian.
Early the next morning, Chen Ziyan and the others welcomed the joint archaeological team, and immediately handed over the tomb of King Xian to the other party, while in the afternoon they saw off Ding Sitian and Chen Yulou.
Seeing that the work here had been basically completed, the few people were too lazy to stay any longer. After packing up, they set off to Gazebuqing overnight.
After entering the Gazebuqing area, the clerk of the Crescent Hotel, who had been waiting for a long time, drove several people to the temporary camp that had just been built.
This temporary camp is not used for the one at Caiyun Inn. There are no locals around. It is located directly on a wasteland next to an uninhabited area.
When the car approached, Chen Ziyan saw the neatly arranged camping tents on the wasteland from a distance. What was surprising was that simple walls were arranged around the periphery of the temporary camp, and a watchtower was built at each of the four corners.<
/p>
After getting off the car, Chen Ziyan actually saw a circle of trenches hidden around the perimeter of the wall.
Because of the slope of these trenches, if they hadn't been right in front of them, they probably wouldn't have been able to spot them.
"This can definitely be a positional battle!" Hu Bayi is a knowledgeable person. Seeing the layout of the temporary camp, he couldn't help but said.
This can no longer be explained by sufficient preparation!
"It seems that someone is targeting them, but if you think about it, no one who dares to take action at this time is a weak opponent." Chen Ziyan thinks this is good.
The routine of Sheng Shengsheng is not entirely copied from his, but the basic idea is absolutely the same. It can be said that this is a repeat of the same old tricks, and it is basically impossible to hide it from those who are interested.
Under such a premise, anyone who dares to tease the tiger's beard must at least have a certain skill, so the adequacy of preparation cannot be overstated.
After all, the last cooperation was very comfortable, and Crescent Hotel also demonstrated its abilities. Chen Ziyan did not want to lose such a happy partner because of any accident.
What's more, he also wants to establish a good long-term cooperative relationship with him and collect the precious medicines he needs from the Crescent Hotel's channels.
On the way to Gazebuqing, Chen Ziyan had already begun to eat the ancient ginseng provided by his system. The feeling of his body getting stronger at a speed visible to the naked eye made him a little addicted.
Whether there are medicinal supplements that have been used for thousands of years is still one thing. Even if they are available, he cannot get them, so Chen Ziyan sets his sights on medicines that are more than a century old.
After all, it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality.
Now it's okay to let him eat food that's hundreds of years old, but the type that was decades old was really tasteless.
So Chen Ziyan set his sights on the Crescent Hotel. He was not good at collecting drugs, but the Crescent Hotel would definitely be fine.
Chen Ziyan and the others had just finished looking at the appearance of the camp when they were notified inside, and they had already brought Yin Nanfeng out to greet them.
Scanning his eyes over the people behind the two women, Chen Ziyan discovered that the manpower here was no longer the same group as last time. It seemed that more powerful men had been brought in.
After greeting each other, everyone came to the tent and slowly told Chen Ziyan and the others that all the materials and equipment needed to enter Kunlun were ready. She also helped find a guide nearby, which was said to be in this area.
The only person who has ever entered Karamir.
Chen Ziyan didn't think too much about it at first, but when he heard that the guide was a typical Kham man and his Chinese name was Chu Yi, he instantly remembered that this was the guide in the original plot.
But it makes sense when you think about it. There are not many herders living around here, and there are even fewer who have entered Karamir. No matter who is responsible for this, this person should be the first choice for the guide. But after thinking about this, Chen Ziyan suddenly remembered something and couldn't help but ask: "Is he the only one around here who has entered Karamir?"
"Yes, I have inquired about this area. Several people who entered the mountain for adoption have also been there before, but those people have either passed away or left here. Now only this person is left.
Experience in the mountains." She replied slowly.
"That's it..." Chen Ziyan was accustomed to rubbing his chin, and he was a little undecided for a while.
Although this was the guide in the original plot, he always felt that things were a coincidence. Didn't this make it clear that he had no choice?
This made him think of the Wang family. When they dealt with the Nine Sects, in addition to deploying undercover agents, they mainly relied on this kind of secret guidance.
If he hadn't had the foresight brought by his previous life, Chen Ziyan wouldn't have felt there was a problem.
And this is the brilliance of the Wang family, the subtle and silent means of moisturizing things are always hard to detect.
This also made Chen Ziyan entangled. If this first day of junior high school was really arranged by the Wang family, it would not be a good thing for them.
But they really need a guide for this trip. After all, this time they are heading to a snow-capped mountain, and familiarity with the terrain is very important.
After thinking about it, Chen Ziyan said slowly to the voice: "You should have a list of guides. Please help us choose one from the list. Well... we need a lot of animals this time. After all, we need them to carry the supplies. Just look for them.
Someone who is good at taking care of livestock."
In order to prevent the worst possibility from happening, Chen Ziyan thought it would be better to bring a spare one.
And even if there were problems in the first grade of junior high school, at least there would be other guides around, and he would not dare to guide them randomly.
You must know that in that kind of uninhabited no-man's land, malicious guidance is tantamount to deliberate murder!
"No problem, I'll contact you later." Shengsheng glanced at Chen Ziyan slowly and agreed happily.
She could see the intention of this move, but she didn't think too much about it. She just assumed that Chen Ziyan was used to acting cautiously.
Although having one more guide will cost more, it is nothing to her.
After two days of repairs in the temporary camp, Chen Ziyan and the others, led by two guides, entered the uninhabited wilderness with many ravines.
On the road from Gazebuqing to Karamir, due to the problem of communication conditions, yaks can only be used to travel. The yaks stretched in a line carry people and materials and move forward slowly, as if they are painted in the wilderness.
A moving line.
The Northern Tibetan Plateau is located inland, and everyone is still heading northwest, so the climate is getting drier and colder. Especially at this time, the temperature is the most unstable period of the year, so the walking is not very smooth. The ever-changing clouds and rain are really annoying.
However, there is no lack of fun along the way. Although this is a desolate no-man's land, with no human beings within a hundred miles, there is no shortage of natural creatures. Birds soar in the sky in groups, and various wild beasts appear from time to time. p>
If you look around, you can see the endless mountains in the distance. The snow-capped peaks are connected with the blue sky. For a moment, it is difficult to tell whether they are the snow-capped mountains that have not melted for many years or the snow-capped mountains piled up on the horizon.
Cloud.
I just feel that in such a weather, there seems to be some secret hidden, and there is an indescribable sense of mystery.
After traveling for five days in uninhabited land, the group finally arrived at the mountain pass, but the area became even more deserted and deserted. Only in a lake at the mountain pass were some migrating black-necked waterfowl stopping here. p>
The additional guide hired by Chen Ziyan and the others was named Sangbu. He was younger than the first grader, but his thoughts were more superstitious. After seeing such a scene, he immediately said: "Bosses, this is an unlucky sign. Do you want to
Let’s go into the mountains at another time.”
"An ominous sign?" Wang Kaixuan turned to look at him and asked curiously: "I'm talking about Brother Sangbu, how do you say this?"
"It is said that when a black bird falls on the lake, a white devil will appear." Sambu said with a very taboo expression, apparently not wanting to mention it here.
Wang Kaixuan couldn't help curling his lips when he saw this, but before he could say more, Hu Bayi took the initiative and said: "I have heard about this. In fact, it is not talking about migratory birds falling into the lake, but about migratory birds leaving without warning.
, there are generally two reasons for this. One is that there is an avalanche in the mountains, which frightens the birds, and the other is that a cold wave is coming, so migratory birds that are sensitive to the climate will leave early."
"Bosses, let's take a rest in front of you later." At this time, Chu Yi suddenly said.
He then told everyone that not only would the altitude gradually increase on the road ahead, there would also be many ancient glaciers under the snow layers, and there were only a few depressions that could be passed safely, so they had to pass through this area in one go and try to get there before dark.
Arrive at "Zanggu Valley" before arriving.
"Zanggugou? Is there anything special about this place?" Shirley Yang, who had been quietly looking at the information in her hand, asked.
After she got the information collected by Lei Xianming from Chen Ziyan, she began to organize it, and she also found a Bible left by a Portuguese priest.
This Bible is actually a text map, which is very helpful for their actions, and the name Zanggugou happened to appear in it, so after hearing it mentioned in the first year of junior high school, Shirley Yang asked about it directly. p>
"Zanggugou is an unknown place. It is filled with the bones of wild beasts. Every year, a large number of yellow sheep, bison, and Tibetan horse bears commit suicide by jumping off the cliff there. Therefore, even the most courageous people will not be fine.
Run there." Before Chu Yi could answer, Sangbu said solemnly.
After he finished speaking, Chuyi explained to everyone: "Sangbu is right. Zanggugou is indeed a weird place, filled with the bones of wild beasts, but no one has ever seen Man Yue's suicide. It's just that
Just listening to the stories of old people from many generations ago."
Although he has never seen the process of suicide by beasts, the bones scattered all over the valley cannot be faked.
This is why he plans to repair at the entrance of Zanggu Valley and wait until tomorrow to cross there again.
When Shirley Yang heard this, she subconsciously looked at Chen Ziyan. She knew there must be something hidden behind this kind of legend, so she wanted to see if Chen Ziyan had the answer.
"This kind of phenomenon of wild animals committing suicide in groups has happened all over the world, but it is usually dominated by sea creatures, and they are of the same group. I have never heard of animals from different groups mixing together and committing suicide together.
"Yes." Chen Ziyan saw Shirley Yang's questioning eyes and shook his head slightly.
He naturally knows the reason, but how can he say it casually? There is no way to explain where he got it.
