Chapter 66 Taihang Mountains, the third young master of the Huo family
"Professor Zhang, this is a map I accidentally saw from an ancient book. You are well-informed. Do you know what place is drawn on this map?"
Professor Zhang took the map, adjusted his glasses, and studied it carefully.
"This map... seems a little familiar to me?" After a while, Professor Zhang said with some uncertainty.
Jiang Hua's eyes lit up.
"Professor Zhang, do you know where this place is?"
"I also forgot a little bit."
Professor Zhang frowned and said: "It seems that I have seen the mountains and rivers recorded on this map before."
"Well, you wait for me here for a while, I will check the information, and I will tell you after I find it..."
"Well, I'm sorry to trouble you, Professor Zhang!"
About an hour passed.
Professor Zhang came over with a map.
"I remembered that when your teacher and I went to inspect the Taihang Mountains together, we almost died at a place called Huaxing Mountain."
"What's wrong?"
Jiang Hua said doubtfully.
Professor Zhang continued: "Your map is very similar to the Huaxing Mountain I visited. We were still young at the time and wanted to climb over Huaxing Mountain to conduct field survey and mapping work."
"Unexpectedly, we saw a huge wild boar on Huaxing Mountain. You may not believe it, but the size of that wild boar is comparable to that of an elephant."
"If we hadn't carried firearms at that time and shot in time to scare away the wild boar, I'm afraid we would have had to explain where it was."
Professor Zhang still has lingering fears when he recalls the past.
"A wild boar bigger than an elephant?"
Jiang Hua was stunned for a moment. Isn't this a monster?
"What? You don't believe it?"
"No, Professor Zhang, do you mean to say that the Huaxing Mountain depicted on this map is the same?"
"It shouldn't be wrong. I'm 80% sure."
"Thank you very much, Professor Zhang!"
A bag of tea appeared in Jiang Hua's hand.
"Professor Zhang, here are some tea leaves. Thank you for your help today!"
Professor Zhang was stunned for a moment.
"Take your things back..."
"Professor Zhang, these are just some tea leaves, not anything valuable."
Jiang Hua smiled and said: "Besides, you are my teacher's friend, so these tea leaves should be treated as filial piety to you!"
Professor Zhang thought for a moment.
I don’t think this tea is anything valuable.
There was simply no rejection.
"Okay, I'll accept the tea."
"You can also come and chat with me when you have nothing to do in the future."
"Okay, Professor Zhang, I'll take my leave then."
"Yeah."
Jiang Hua left the School of Geography with the map in hand.
He had a smile on his face.
I didn’t expect this trip to go so smoothly.
He immediately knew where the treasures of heaven and earth were hidden.
"As expected of Professor Zhang!"
Jiang Hua praised.
Professor Zhang traveled all over the country that year.
This is simply a living map!
If you don’t understand anything in the future, you have to come over and ask Professor Zhang.
"Well, next time I come over and get some more tea for Professor Zhang..."
……
In the Jiang family's study.
An extremely angry voice came out.
"Little bastard, where are my tens of thousands of tea leaves? You didn't even give me a little bit left?"
"The traitor! What a traitor!"
"Wait until you come back and see if I don't break your legs!"
……
"Taihang Mountains?"
Jiang Hua fell into thinking. The Taihang Mountains are an important geographical dividing line in eastern China.
It starts from the Xishan Mountain of Beijing in the north, extends to Wangwu Mountain in the south, borders the Shanxi Plateau in the west, and the North China Plain in the east. It runs from northeast to southwest and stretches for more than 400 kilometers.
It is the eastern edge of the second ladder of Chinese terrain and the eastern boundary of the Loess Plateau.
The most important thing is that the Taihang Mountains are not far from the capital, only a few hundred kilometers away.
Jiang Hua touched his chin and pondered slightly. "I can go to Huaxing Mountain and get back in just two or three days."
"Yes, let's do it!"
"Otherwise my dad will beat me to death when I get home...
Jiang Hua scratched his head slightly and muttered: "Dad, just drink less tea. When the tea tree bears fruit next year, I will buy you more..."
"Well, let's leave a note for Dad."
"Lest his old man worry..."
Taihang Mountains.
A group of people was walking towards the mountain.
"Everyone, be careful."
"There is a wild boar monster there."
The leader, who pretended to be a big man, said.
Next to him was a young man with a fair complexion, probably in his twenties.
"Uncle Tian, are there really spiritual fruits there?" the young man asked.
"Xiao An, don't worry, our outer disciples of the Huo family saw this in person, and there is a wild boar demon bigger than an elephant!"
The young master's name is Huo Wen'an, and he is the third son of the Huo family of the old Jiumen in Changsha...
The leading man in well-dressed clothes is called Tian Hongyue!
He is an elder worshiped by the Huo family.
Even though he may seem ordinary, he is actually a first-class warrior.
In this era, those who can become warriors are those with great perseverance.
Therefore, even though Tian Hongyue is a foreigner of the Huo family, his status in the Huo family is very high.
This time, someone discovered a spiritual fruit in the Taihang Mountains, and there was a wild boar demon guarding it.
Tian Hongyue immediately decided to lead his people to kill the wild boar demon and obtain the spiritual fruit.
The value of spiritual fruit is really too great.
Huo Wen'an asked: "Uncle Tian, if there is a wild boar demon, does it mean there is a spiritual fruit?"
"This is not necessarily true, but since it can become a monster, the wild boar must have an extraordinary destiny."
Tian Hongyue explained: "So generally, the treasures of heaven, materials and earth will be guarded by monsters.
"Oh."
Huo Wen'an nodded in understanding.
"Uncle Tian, is that monster powerful?"
"Can you beat it?"
Tian Hongyue pondered for a while and said: "I may not know that some monsters are very powerful and some monsters are very weak."
"And in this day and age, monsters have become less and less common. I only saw them once when I was young."
Huo Wen'an was a little worried when he heard this.
"Uncle Tian, what if you can't defeat the wild boar demon?"
Tian Hongyue burst out laughing, "Xiao An, you must remember that we are humans, not animals."
"The biggest difference between us and the beasts is that humans have smart brains. No matter how powerful that wild boar demon is, there are so many of us here with a lot of firearms."
"It can't escape even if it has wings!"
Hearing this, Huo Wen'an felt relieved.
"Uncle Tian, is this spiritual fruit very precious?"
"Haha, of course."
"Xiao An, you haven't heard the news from the capital, right?
"What news?" Huo Wen'an asked curiously.
"There is a Crescent Hotel in the capital. Speaking of which, this Crescent Hotel has something to do with our Laojiumen. Back then, the Zhang family's old Buddha married Yin Xinyue, the daughter of the Crescent Hotel, and it created a lot of stories!"
"Crescent Hotel? I heard grandma say that!"
Huo Wen'an's eyes lit up.
"Well, a few days ago, the Crescent Hotel held an auction. At this auction, a total of three spiritual fruits were auctioned."
"Do you know how much those three spiritual fruits are worth?"
Huo Wen'an shook his head.
"Haha, the first one sold for 1.8 billion, the second one sold for nearly 2.3 billion, and the third one sold for 2.7 billion!"
Huo Wen'an's eyes widened.
"Is this so expensive?"
Tian Hongyue saw Huo Wen'an's expression and nodded with satisfaction.
"Yes, spiritual fruit can prolong life. As long as we can obtain this spiritual fruit, we can extend your grandma's life by several years."
Huo Wen'an's eyes lit up and he said firmly: "Uncle Tian, then we must get this spiritual fruit."
"Well, Xiao An, don't worry."
Tian Hongyue said with a smile: "Only we know that place, others may have never heard of it..."
A group of people continued to walk forward.
