The road was quite calm, and after driving for nearly two days, I finally came to Nanhu City to meet Huang Qirui.

"Chairman Huang, when are we leaving?" After resting in Nanhu City for a morning, Wang Lihong asked directly after seeing Huang Qirui.

Huang Qirui said to Wang Lihong: "That's it, you can call me Huang Dong in the future, and I will also call you Lihong, so as not to look so angry, we will set off this afternoon." ”

Wang Lihong thought for a moment and responded, "It's okay." By the way, Huang Dong, where is this dragon clan? ”

Huang Qirui said with a solemn expression: "Changbai Mountain." ”

In the afternoon of the same day, Wang Lihong and his party began to set off, and Huang Qirui brought two helpers with him. This one named Ah Biao is a strong man with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, short hair, several tattoos all over his body, likes to laugh, and looks a little straightforward. The other is called Tietou, this person has a little longer hair, and he looks a little scholarly, but his eyes are very cold, and his figure is not burly and strong. These two people should be the people Huang Qirui trusts more.

This time, Wang Lihong came on Huang Qirui's special plane, and they went directly to Jilin first. After half a day of preparing in Jilin, he set off directly.

This Changbai Mountain was called Buxian Mountain before the Zhou and Qin Dynasty, and the name Changbai Mountain was adopted by the Jin Dynasty of the Liao Dynasty, and finally the Jurchens named it "Changbai Mountain".

Changbai Mountain is the highest peak in Northeast China, known as the "Roof of Northeast China", located in today's Jilin Province of China and Samjiyon County, Lianggang Province, North Korea. The main peak of Changbai Mountain is actually a dormant active volcano, which is said to have erupted many times during the Qing Dynasty, and the Changbai Mountain Range is best known for its Baiyun Peak at an altitude of 2,691 meters.

The ecosystem of Changbai Mountain is relatively complete, the natural environment is complex and diverse, the climate on the mountain is unpredictable, and the plant species are rich and colorful. With the increase of altitude, three vertical climate zones are formed: the middle temperate zone, the cold temperate zone and the alpine cold zone. The main climatic characteristics are: long and cold winters, with particularly low temperatures at the summits; Summers are short and cool. 1,200 meters or more than 1,400 meters in spring and autumn, this scene is extremely funny.

How to say it, that is, you were originally climbing the mountain, it turned out that you were still in the spring, it is estimated that you will feel a little hot, especially crawling, you feel more and more cold, at this time I want to see if you have brought thicker clothes.

There were three Land Rovers in the group, one for Wang Lihong and Emily, and one for Huang Qirui. Ah Biao and Tie Tou one.

"Huang Dong, how should we go?" Wang Lihong and his entourage came to the lowest layer of the climate zone of Shangbai Mountain, looking at this dense broad-leaved forest, Wang Lihong really didn't know how they should go.

Three Land Rovers were parked at a three-way intersection, waiting for Huang Qirui to give orders.

Huang Qirui pointed to the dirt road on the right and shouted to Wang Lihong, "Follow me." ”

After deviating from the main road, they have been traveling on this primitive dirt road that is completely unsuitable for driving, and thanks to this Land Rover, it is really powerful, and the other cars are estimated to have been paralyzed long ago.

The terrain here is very complicated, and the road is difficult to find. It's not easy to walk, there are dense woods everywhere, and those fallen leaves and dead branches have completely covered the road, Wang Lihong and they feel as if they are wearing in the forest. It's basically just to walk wherever you see it, and where there is a road to speak of. Because of this, they can only travel during the day and stop at night to set up tents and rest.

They've been driving for three days. Now it's off the beaten track, and it's basically a few locals, or some medicine farmers or something who can walk through the forest. It is completely impossible for others to walk in such a remote place, and tourists take the main road to see the scenery.

"Everyone, from tomorrow onwards, the car will not be able to drive, and the road below will be completely up to us." Huang Qirui said to Wang Lihong and others on the edge of the tent.

Now the weather on May 6 is really annoying, this forest feels a sultry heat, such a large forest is said to be cool, but because the place where they are now is very remote, the terrain is a little low-lying, so there is no wind, so it feels a little stuffy.

And what is the most annoying thing in this mountain forest, that is, mountain mosquitoes, these mosquitoes are big and poisonous, and a bite is directly a big red envelope in table tennis, itching for a long time. It's better to be in the car during the day, but everyone should pay attention to it at night, because there is another terrible thing in this place, and that is the Siberian tiger.

This Siberian tiger is a national first-class protected animal, but to be honest, this guy is really fierce. The average weight of adult male Siberian tigers in the wild is 1890 kilograms, and the largest even weighs 300 kilograms, with a body length of about 1.89 meters. The average weight of an adult tigress is 123 kilograms, and her body length is 1.78 meters.

Adult Siberian tigers have thirty teeth, and the strength of these teeth is quite explosive, and if they do attack, they can bite off a solid wooden stick the size of an arm.

In the evening, Ah Wei and Tietou are sorting out their minds, because everyone will start hiking and climbing the mountain from tomorrow, so many necessary things still have to be prepared first, such as shovels, machetes, pathfinder iron rods, food and water, hooks and ropes, etc., as well as those first-aid medicines.

Taking advantage of the fact that there was still a little bit of time, Wang Lihong asked a question that he had wanted to ask Huang Qirui for a long time. He asked: "Huang Dong, since this Dunjia was discovered by you and another colleague, why is it suddenly taken out for auction now, shouldn't it be handed over to the National Museum?" ”

Huang Qirui said calmly: "That's because there was an emergency at that time. ”

"What's the situation?" Wang Lihong asked.

"Because my archaeological partner, Professor Wang Zhichu, was killed, Dunjia's whereabouts have not been known since." Huang Qirui was still a little embarrassed and regretful when he thought of this, because this Wang Zhichu was also his teacher, and the two had been working for many years, whether it was at work or in personal relationships, the relationship between the two has always been good.

"Actually, I've always been curious, how did you find that Panlong tribe at that time?" Wang Lihong then asked, because he wanted to figure out a lot of things.

"That's because of a map." Huang Qirui replied simply.

"What picture?" Wang Lihong broke the casserole and asked to the end.

"It was a map that we couldn't decipher at all, and there were several scribbled patterns and words on it. There are only a few hastily sketches that resemble mountains and rivers, and there is a picture of a dragon-like figure with a few lines of ancient characters next to it, which are neither oracle nor cuneiform, and we have not seen them before. Later, we recruited Professor Zhang Songya, who specializes in ancient characters in China, and he told us that those were Chinese beggar scripts, which were very rare in the Yanhuang period. After unlocking this map, it is the address of the Panlong tribe, and we also learned the story of the legend of the Three Kings Beast when we arrived at the Panlong tribe. Huang Qirui told Wang Lihong everything he knew, as well as the origin of some of the things he discovered.

Wang Lihong now began to have a general situation in his mind, and finally clarified some thoughts, but he didn't fully believe what Huang Qirui said. Because there are still some loopholes in his statement. First of all, when they solved this unidentified map, why didn't they go with the archaeological team, but went to the Panlong tribe with their partners. Second, how did they know the relationship between Dunjia and the Three Kings Beast.

Wang Lihong knows very well that these so-called ancient tribes, if you are an outsider and have no certain relationship, if you don't catch and kill you, you will be expelled directly, and it is impossible to sit down with you to drink tea and chat and tell stories, because the things they guard are too important, not to mention easily believing that outsiders let you steal things, it is very dangerous for you to even get close.

One more thing, why did they steal this thing at that time? As a professional archaeologist, it is taboo to steal and steal. Adultery is the same as a shameful crime, how could they make such a mistake without knowing the background of this Dunjia, that is pure nonsense. The only explanation was that one of the two of them must have known the origin of this thing, so they instigated the other person, and finally both of them became thieves.

According to Wang Lihong's guess, the possibility of the latter is absolutely high, because as soon as they got Dunjia, Wang Zhichu was killed immediately, so this is obviously what the insider did. There is only one other person who can do these two things, one is Huang Qirui himself, and the other is Zhang Songya, who is responsible for helping them interpret the map.

But there is another question between the two, that is, who killed Wang Zhichu and then stole Dunjia?

Wang Lihong analyzed it, if Huang Qirui did this, then Dunjia must be in his hands, why did he spend more than 20 million yuan to buy it back this time. Nima doesn't spend it like this even if she has a lot of money, and it's too high-profile, so everyone knows it. The only possibility left is Zhang Songya, but that Zhang Songya has never missed face, not to mention that if he robbed this thing, then why did he take it out for auction, isn't that. If you really lack money, you can sell it directly on the black market, dare to do this thing of killing, and sell a piece of cultural relics is a bird.

Thinking about it, Wang Lihong still feels that there are some mysteries that can't be solved, but now is not the time to think about this, now it's better to figure out the matter of the beast king mark on his body first, if there is really a third-party force, then wait for later. Since the other party knows about this thing, it will naturally not be so easy to let go. Now that Huang Qirui's daughter has been kidnapped, it means that the other party wants to use Huang Qirui's hands to get the information and things he wants. (To be continued.) )
