Kuafu Mountain is located near Wuqiangxi Town, Yuanling County, commonly known as "Zhuguo Cliff" or "Zhujia Mountain", facing Yuanshui in the south and Taoyuan in the east, its highest main peak is 918 meters above sea level.

After Ai Qing and the others got off the plane, they were greeted by a special person sent by the company, and the task was to be low-key, so it was not a luxury car, but a gray van with a dusty body and a small advertisement on the window, and the handle on the door was half broken, and it had to be buttoned open with a fingernail.

As soon as the car door opened, the cool air rushed out from inside, accompanied by a burst of smoke and dust, and the four people standing in front of the car door couldn't help but shudder, and the dragon girl saw the messy environment in the car, and her body took a step back.

"Sorry, I'm sorry, this car always runs on the country road, it's dirty, please don't be surprised. The receptionist propped up one hand at the car door, not feeling that his decoration was out of place with the four people in front of him.

If it weren't for the fact that this was arranged by the intelligence agents in the company, the four of them would have suspected that this was a black car picking up smuggling customers here.

Since it is a pre-arranged itinerary, there is no way to temporarily change the car or route, and I don't know if the company deliberately embarrassed a few people.

Ai Qing glanced at the driver, took the lead in the car, sat in the corner of the car, put the backpack behind her feet, pressed down the brim of the hat with her hand, and kept analyzing the nearby landform and the location of their target this time.

The two of them, Lone Dragon and Ghost, one rude and the other withdrawn, were not pretentious, and stepped into the car, Lone Dragon sat next to Ai Qing, and Ghost Shadow sat in another corner.

There were two rows in the back of the van, there were seven seats, and after the three men went in, there were also a few suitcases that they carried with them, which directly filled all the seats, leaving the lonely dragon girl standing outside the car.

"Girl, take the co-pilot. The sloppy uncle who received them was also their driver, surnamed Hu, because he often drove the line, so he was called Master Hu by the locals, not an insider of the company, so he didn't know the identity of the dragon girl, and the name of the dragon girl was very casual.

The dragon girl glanced at Ai Qing, who was in a daze out of the window, and sat thoughtfully in the co-pilot, which was also the cleanest place in the car except for the driver's seat, but she was still extremely disgusted, hugging her shoulders and looking depressed.

The sound of the engine after the van started was comparable to that of a tractor, and the dragon girl searched for a long time by her side without seeing the seat belt, and finally found a finger-thick hemp rope under her feet.

"Girl, that's the seat belt, fasten up, let's go. The uncle stepped on the accelerator, the front and back of the car arched, and the four wheels seemed to be limited in speed, no matter how hard he tried, the speed of the car could not be raised.

The car swayed left and right towards the road, the speed gradually increased, at 80 kilometers per hour when the owner did not move, reached the limit of what it could bear, no wonder Master Hu's car skills are stable, this speed is not enough to take off, can it be unstable?

"Master, are you a local?" Ai Qing shouted, overpowering the sound of the engine.

"yes, I've been here for more than forty years. ”

"You've been in this car for more than 40 years, haven't you?" the dragon girl put on a light yellow mask after getting into the car.

"No, no, we bought this car the year before last, but it ran more. ”

Master Hu's words have a strong local accent, and there is a special flavor in the ears, which is very down-to-earth.

The dragon girl said in disgust, "This is enough to break. ”

Master Hu laughed with him and did not answer, in order to alleviate the embarrassment, Ai Qing continued to chat with him.

"How far is that from where we're going?"

"This is the city, and we have to go to Yuanling County, then to Wuqiangxi Town, and finally to Kuafushan Village, we will arrive about tomorrow, and we will stay in Yuanling County for one night tonight." ”

Ai Qing is not as restrained as the other three people, she has been chatting with Master Hu all the time, most of them are about the landform, historical background, folklore or something around here, how to say that Master Hu is also an old driver, and Ai Qing's questions can be described as fluent.

After talking, Ai Qing learned that Master Hu was born and raised in Wuqiangxi Town, and used to be a farmer, but later with the development of science and technology, many farm tools have been updated and tended to be automated, and the time in the field has been relatively reduced a lot, so he did a job similar to that of a tour guide.

As long as outsiders come here to travel, the locals will recommend Master Hu to them, he is a good person, enthusiastic, knows a lot, and drives steadily.

In Master Hu's introduction, Kuafu Mountain is actually not as famous as imagined, although the scenery is very beautiful, but the geographical location is too remote, and there are no other particularly famous tourist attractions nearby, so the whole mountain is supported by the myth of Kuafu.

There are countless other myths and folklore about Kuafu Mountain, such as the Kuafu clan, which is said to be the descendants of the Kuafu clan back then, and lived in seclusion in Kuafu Mountain, but no one has ever seen it.

The summit of its highest main peak is above the floating clouds all the year round, the clouds and mist are shrouded, and the top of it is not visible, but because the mountain is too steep, the soil is loose and slippery, and the trees and vegetation are dense, so it can only be seen from other peaks and cannot be climbed.

With the spring breeze, the car drove all the way to the rest stop in the suburbs before stopping, the dragon girl and the lone dragon both slept in the car, the ghost wore headphones, always looked out of the window, and did not say a word, colder than Ai Qing.

When I arrived at the rest stop, it was already half past four in the afternoon, and it was more than two hours' drive to Yuanling County, where to stay tonight, Master Hu had already arranged, according to him, it was the best hotel in the county, of course, it was a hotel, not a hotel.

Master Hu walked out of the toilet at the rest station with his stomach straight, took a few breaths of fresh air, and sat on a bench at the door.

The other three people in the car also stepped out of the car, and this rest stop is located in the wilderness, surrounded by flowers and trees dressed in green, just to welcome the arrival of spring.

Hou Yan and the three people in the company were not very familiar with each other, so they didn't talk, but walked to Master Hu's side, took out a box of cigarettes from his arms and handed it to Master Hu.

Master Hu took out two from the box, handed one to Hou Yan, lit it in his mouth, and then put the rest into his pocket.

This is also a small detail of traveling, the general tourist needs to travel to remote places, it is inevitable to need to charter a car, send the driver a pack of cigarettes, not only to enhance the relationship between the two, but also the driver will be more responsible for your travel, many only locals know some precautions, he will tell you a non-falling.

"Brother Hu, you always run this line, you must have been to Kuafu Mountain, right?" Hou Yan's title to Master Hu directly changed to Brother Hu.

"Hehe, of course, my ancestors were from the village of Kuafu, and they always went. Master Hu obviously prefers Hou Yan's name, and he is closer to him without honorific titles.

This task must be fully responsible for Ai Qing in the body, so far he has not interfered, but it does not mean that he does not know anything, according to the written information and what Ai Qing recorded on the Eagle Eye, plus Ai Qing's explanation, his understanding of the task is even more detailed than the other three in the car.

"Is this Kuafu Mountain really changed by Kuafu in ancient times?"

"It's just a legend, a story about putting a child to sleep. ”

Hou Yan's face showed a slightly sad face, his eyes looked into the distance, the introduction of their mission goal "Jiuxi Pupil Wheel" was changed from Kuafu's eyes, so if the origin of Kuafu Mountain is just a legend, then where did this thing come from.

"Have you ever heard of this thing?"

"What kind of dove?"

"The dove is also called the Hui Ri Disk. ”

Hou Yan said as he pulled up the picture of the exchange day plate from his mobile phone.

Master Hu stared at the photo in front of him, but he didn't have a trace of impression in his mind, in one word, strange.

"I haven't seen it, I've lived here for almost fifty years, and I've never heard of it, did you remember the wrong location?"

In Master Hu's thoughts, as long as it is something that he has not talked about or heard, it will never appear in this field.

Hou Yan looked at the picture and hesitated, when Tiandao Company sent the task, it only gave the name of the target, and the other clues were even more pitiful, and there were many irrelevant speculations, which were useless at all.

The pictures and news of this exchange day plate are obtained from the only news on the Internet, and it is a piece of information from three years ago, so their understanding of the exchange day plate is almost zero, as for whether this thing really exists near Kuabu Mountain, no one can give a positive answer.

"Are there any buildings in Mt. Kwafu?"

"There are a lot of buildings, all of which were built according to myths and legends to attract tourists, what sculptures, inscriptions, I don't know which one you are referring to. ”

"Is there a Taoist temple?" Hou Yan then asked.

Master Hu became curious about Hou Yan's question, because he didn't play cards according to common sense at all, and the questions he asked were all unknown to Master Hu, which made him, a person who was nearly fifty years old, actually a little uncomfortable in terms of face.

"Young man, where is there any Taoist temple in this mountain, how can you ask something I don't know?" Master Hu's tone was slightly dissatisfied.

"Brother Hu, don't be angry, I don't mean anything else, I just asked casually, since you don't know, it seems that I may really be in the wrong place. ”

Hou Yan took out another pack of Chinese cigarettes from his arms, and this time stuffed them into Master Hu's pocket with his own hands to apologize.

"That said, how can there be something here that I don't know?"

His confident answer made Hou Yan a little unable to get off the stage.
