Chapter 376 The fickle 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 peeled off.
"What kind of Muchen Bead is this?" Wang Kaixuan asked in surprise as he looked at the jade beads that looked like eyeballs in the container in front of him.
At this moment, Chen Ziyan and his party were sitting around the table, looking at the Muchen Bead 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. In general, no wonder there is another name for phoenix 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 the authenticity of the Muchen Pearl, she, the descendant of Moving Mountain, undoubtedly has the most say.
It can be said that apart from those who have personally come into contact with the Muchen Bead, only the Bishan people 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 have not seen the actual object, we have already clarified its characteristics based on the various classics collected.
Otherwise the next generation will not know each other when they meet, and the pursuit of thousands of years will become a joke.
"Master Chen, now that everything is ready, shouldn't it be time for us to 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 of 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 best 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?"< br>
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 Shengluo means, there will probably be a storm.
Although he recognized the strength of the Crescent Hotel, who could say for sure about this kind of thing? Since he already knew it, there was 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.
Actually, he came with him this time not only because he was worried about the tomb of King Xian, but also because he 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 there then."
Because there are meteorites in Insect Valley. More importantly, as the temporary person in charge, Ding Sitian also needs to be responsible for escorting, so Chen Ziyan plans to let her serve as a bodyguard. This way, there is no need to send a puppet to escort Chen Yulou, and she can concentrate on the next adventure. .
"That's no problem, I'll tell her tonight." Hu Bayi immediately agreed on Ding Sitian's behalf.
In the early morning of the next day, Chen Ziyan and the others welcomed the joint archaeological team. They handed over the tomb of King Xian to the other party immediately, and sent Ding Sitian and Chen Yulou away in the afternoon.
Seeing that the work here was 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 four corners were erected respectively. A watchtower.
After getting off the car, Chen Ziyan actually saw a circle of trenches hidden outside 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 say.
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 thought this was good.
I don’t say that Slow Voice’s routine is a complete copy of his, but the basic ideas are 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 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.
It's okay for him to eat food that's hundreds of years old now, 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 slowly and had already brought Yin Nanfeng to greet them.
Looking over the people behind the two women, Chen Ziyan found that the manpower here was no longer the same group as last time. It seemed that more powerful men had been transferred.
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. , it is said that he is the only person in this area who has 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 herdsmen 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 died or left here. Now only this one is left. People have experience of going into the mountains." The voice replied slowly.
"That's it..." Chen Ziyan was used to rubbing his chin, and he was a little undecided for a moment.
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 reminded him 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 it were not for the foresight brought by his previous life, Chen Ziyan would not think there was a problem.
And this is the genius 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: "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 all the supplies. If they come to carry you, just find 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 was really a problem in the first year 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." Sheng Sheng 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 accustomed to acting cautiously.
Although having one more guide will cost more, it is nothing to her.
After two days of repairing in the temporary camp, Chen Ziyan and the others, led by two guides, entered the uninhabited land of the 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 It is to draw a moving line in the wasteland.
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 habitation within a hundred miles, there is no shortage of natural creatures, with flocks of birds soaring in the sky, and all kinds of beasts. It also appears from time to time.
If you look around, you can see the endless mountains in the distance. The snow-capped peaks meet the blue sky. For a moment, it is difficult to tell whether they are snow-capped mountains that have not melted for many years. , or clouds piling up on the horizon.
I just feel like there is some secret hidden in such a weather, and there is an indescribable sense of mystery.
After traveling for five days in the 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.
The additional guide hired by Chen Ziyan and the others was called 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 unlucky. "It's a signal. Do you want to go into the mountain at another time?"
"An ominous signal?" Wang Kaixuan turned to look at him and asked curiously: "Brother Sangbu, what do you mean by this?" "
"It is said that when a black bird lands on the lake, a white devil will appear," Sambu said with a very taboo expression. It seemed that he didn't want 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 about migratory birds falling into the lake, but about migratory birds falling into the lake. There are generally two reasons why migratory birds leave without warning. One is that there are avalanches 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 later." At this time, Chu Yi suddenly said.
Then he told everyone that not only would the altitude gradually increase on the road ahead, but there would also be many ancient glaciers under the snow layers. There were only a few depressions that could be passed safely, so they had to pass through this area in one go. , trying to reach the "Zanggu Valley" before dark.
"Zanggugou? Is there anything special about this place?" Shirley Yang, who had been quietly looking at the information in her hand, asked after hearing this.
After she got the information collected by Lei Xianming from Chen Ziyan, she began to sort it out, and 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 directly Asked.
"Zanggugou is an unknown place, 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, so even the most courageous people will not be fine. Run there." Sang Bu said solemnly before Chu Yi could answer.
After he finished speaking, Chuyi explained to everyone: "Sangbu is right, Zanggugou is indeed a strange place, filled with the bones of wild beasts, but the matter of Man Yue's suicide is not No one has seen it, I just heard it from the stories of old people from many generations ago.”
Although he has never seen the process of the beasts committing suicide, the bones scattered all over the ravine cannot be faked.
This is why he plans to repair at the entrance of Zanggu Valley and wait until tomorrow to cross there.
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.
Of course he knew the reason, but how could he say it casually? There was no way to explain where he got it.
