Chapter 835 - A Word Is a Certainty
Three hours later, the plane took off.
From Los Angeles to the Kunlun Mountains, nearly 3,000 kilometers, it takes 4 hours to fly.
Mingkong Divine Palace sat beside Song Li, his expression quite serious.
"Song Li, the road is far away, I need to briefly tell you about the situation, this matter involves a wide range of things, to start from more than 30 years ago, when I was studying in Yanjing, I was fortunate to follow Professor Lu in the archaeological field of Yanjing to go out to investigate. ”
Song Li didn't really want to hear it, but for his own sake and Zixuan's sake, he had to listen to it.
Mingkong Shrine had a clear idea and roughly talked about the events of the year.
According to the Mingkong Shrine, Kunlun Mountain is the first sacred mountain in China, spanning four provinces, and Professor Lu got an ancient book that contained information about the day of the eclipse of the moon, as well as a map of the possible location of Kunlun Wonderland.
At that time, Professor Lu organized a scientific expedition team of ten people and set off for Kunlun Mountain.
The first place they arrived at was a place called Mujia Village, which is very close to the Kunlun Pass, where herders graze their cattle all year round and are quite familiar with the environment.
Professor Lu hired a guide named Amu and showed him the map.
Amu nodded repeatedly, he said that he knew where the map was located, and as long as he made simple preparations, he could set off for the mountain.
Under the leadership of Amu, the group trekked along the way and soon arrived at the location.
It was a rather strange canyon, and Amu said that the place Professor Lu was looking for was in the canyon, but it wasn't that he wouldn't go into it no matter what Professor Lu said.
That canyon is quite famous in the local area, known as the Valley of Death, and none of the cattle and sheep animals that enter it can get out alive, and it belongs to the forbidden land of the forbidden land.
At that time, the scientific expedition team was also divided into two groups, and one group felt that as scientific researchers, they should have the spirit of hard work, and they had to go in and break through regardless of whether they had gained or not.
The other group are conservatives, who are not guided and unwilling to venture in.
The two sides argued for a long time, and finally the minority obeyed the majority and decided to go in and take risks, but once in danger, they had to withdraw as soon as possible.
The expedition team marched along the canyon without a guide, and the carcasses of animals could be seen at any time along the way, and what was even more terrifying was that the team had not gone far before they saw the skeletons of herders, and a rusty double-barreled shotgun was placed next to it.
Probably because of too much pressure, a team member suddenly went crazy and ran in the direction of the north side of the canyon, Professor Lu and others just chased over, a vision appeared in the sky, lightning and thunder, and a lightning bolt hit the team member impartially, instantly splitting him into charcoal.
This caused great panic, and most of the people demanded a retreat.
Professor Lu had no choice but to lead the people back, but when they retreated to the periphery of the canyon, they found that the sun was still shining outside, which was in stark contrast to the inside.
Mingkong Divine Palace came back to his senses and looked at Song Li.
"Due to the deaths, the scientific expedition was forced to end, and everyone found nothing, and I was directly repatriated to China for some reason, and this delay was 30 years. ”
Song Li smiled, quite calm.
"Mingkong Divine Palace, I don't think it's necessarily nothing, otherwise you wouldn't have taken me to Kunlun, the day of the eclipse of the moon is coming, we can't look for the entrance to the forbidden land like looking for a needle in a haystack, did you find anything at that time." ”
Mingkong Jingu laughed, quite satisfied.
"Song Li, you are really smart, you are right, I did find something, but I won't tell you now, when we arrive at Death Valley, you will naturally know, take a good rest, get off the plane in a while, some toss. ”
Song Li stopped talking, and held Zixuan's hand tightly.
He didn't want to go to Death Valley, especially with Zixuan, take 10,000 steps back, even if he really opened the gate of the fairy world, no one knew what would happen, Zixuan was still young, and she still had a beautiful life waiting for her.
Song was quite distressed, but there was nothing he could do, he was such a precious daughter, he didn't know how much he had suffered since she was a child, he really didn't want to see her hurt.
Four hours later, the plane landed on time.
The three of them walked out of the airport hall before and after, and soon several men came to greet them.
The man in the lead is 1.8 meters tall, with bulging temples and a mustache, and at first glance he is a master from the cherry blossom country.
The name of the person who came was Matsushita Yasutake, who directly belonged to the Jingu Guard, and was only under the jurisdiction of the Mingkong Shrine, and even the Tokugawa family did not know his existence, which was the real hole card of the Mingkong Shrine.
"Lord Shengong, according to your orders, all the necessary supplies have been prepared, there will be heavy rain in the afternoon, we must rush to Mujia Village at the foot of Kunlun Mountain as soon as possible. ”
Mingkong Divine Palace nodded and motioned for Song Li and Zixuan to get into the car.
The group got into the business car, bumped all the way, and headed towards Mujia Village.
After driving for more than two hours, it was getting late, and I finally dared to enter the village before the rainstorm came.
Mujia Village is not big, and it only takes ten minutes to turn around.
Mingkong Shrine was familiar with the door, walked to the westernmost residence, and knocked on the door heavily.
A short time later, an old man in his sixties opened the door.
"Who are you?"
Mingkong Shrine smiled faintly and looked at the old man.
"Mr. Amu, don't you know me, more than 30 years ago, I stayed in your village with Professor Lu, and asked you to be our guide. ”
Amu suddenly realized, nodded again and again, and invited everyone into the room.
"You are Mr. Mingkong, why did you come to Mujia Village again, and you brought so many people over, could it be that you want to go to Kunlun Mountain again." ”
Mingkong Shrine nodded, his eyes like torches.
"Mr. Amu, you're right, we need a guide, and I hope you can take us on a trip to Death Valley, and the price is not a problem. ”
Amu shook his head again and again and looked at the Mingkong Shrine.
"Mr. Mingkong, it's not a matter of money or money, I'm too old to be a guide, you better find someone else, I really can't help." ”
Amu refused, quite decisively.
Mingkong Shrine knew that Amu was afraid in his heart, so he could only continue to increase the price.
"Amu, this way, you just need to take us to the gate of the canyon, 50,000 yuan, in your place, this should be considered a very high guide fee." ”
Amu still shook his head, unwilling to lead the way.
At this moment, the door to the north opened, and a big boy in his early twenties ran out, his name was Cheng Rongshui, he was quite handsome, and it was Amu's grandson.
"Grandpa, why don't you go, 50,000, if you don't go, I'll go, Mr. Mingkong, you're adding 50,000 to me, not to mention the canyon, even the Valley of Death, I dare to take you in." ”
Cheng Rongshui is quite arrogant and full of self-confidence, he grew up at the foot of Kunlun Mountain since he was a child, what kind of place has he never been, just a trip to Death Valley, it's nothing.
Mingkong Shrine laughed and grabbed Cheng Rongshui's hand.
"One word is decided, 100,000 is 100,000, and we will set off early tomorrow morning. ”
