Chapter 15: Revisiting the Coffin Mountain 2 (Part II)
The problem of money was solved, Chen Badai's motivation also came up, Wang Xingguo agreed to visit the ghost gate again, but everyone was more careful at this time, a perfect plan can make the event safe, but at this time, everyone's minds have been made a mess by all kinds of unbelievable situations, let alone make plans.
Xia Ruobing and Sherpa are good at using instruments for activities, but they can't use instruments here, which makes them at a loss, although Mr. Min has some experience in exploration, but he has never encountered such a situation, as for Chen Badai, one of the top ten King Kongs in the outdoor industry in City A, he knows a little bit about everything in his own words, but he is not proficient in anything, and he is not very sure, everyone's eyes are focused on Wang Xingguo, which makes Wang Xingguo a little embarrassed: "Do you want to see me?" Do I have flowers on my face? ”
"You're an expert, our lives are pinched in your hands!" Chen Badai knocked on the table in a unique way, signaling Wang Xingguo to hurry over and think of a way, Wang Xingguo thought for a while: "There is a saying that if you don't enter the tiger's den, you can get the tiger, how we can turn over the information here is useless." ”
"What about the plan?" Xia Ruobing asked.
"Don't think about everything on the periphery, separate the situation of the coffin mountain and solve it, we only need to pay attention to a few points, fog, instrument failure, and inexplicable dizziness...... Perhaps you should also consider the underground cavity ......"
"So how can these problems be avoided?" When Sherpa heard this, he felt that Wang Xingguo should have a way.
"Fast in and fast out can avoid excessive dizziness, but once you get lost, it will drag on for a long time, but it is not ......"
"Can you finish it all at once......" Xia Ruobing was anxious.
"It's not a big area, and the terrain is relatively simple, and one of the easiest ways to orient yourself is to use terrain perception, which means that we just need to pay attention to whether it's uphill or downhill...... As for what direction it is, as long as you can get out of this funnel, it doesn't matter. When Wang Xingguo said this, everyone seemed to understand that everyone was trying their best to orient and locate just now, but they ignored the characteristics of this terrain.
"As for the instrument...... Well, you can't use it anyway, so it's better to free up your weight and bring something else. Wang Xingguo said again.
"What to bring?" Chen Badai asked, since this terrain is relatively simple, it doesn't seem to require much equipment.
"Rope...... Protector ......," Wang Xingguo said slowly.
"What are you doing with this?" Chen Badai was a little unable to turn around.
"Are you worried about the underground?" Mr. Min probably understood.
"I don't know, but I know ropes will work, sixth sense." Wang Xingguo pointed to his head, his brain was actually not idle from last night to now, I don't know why, the underground cavity lingered in his mind repeatedly......
"There is no problem with the equipment, and it will be in hand in three days at most." Sherpa said, "What about our plan?" How do I get in and out? ”
"No plan......" As soon as Wang Xingguo spoke, Xia Ruobing was stunned for a moment, how could a master say such irresponsible words.
"If you talk about a plan, the only plan is to go in and out quickly, the longer you stay, the greater the danger, once there is an unplanned situation, we can only act at the opportunity......," Wang Xingguo said slowly, "We want to think about the situation in the Ghost Gate, it is better to think about how to get to the Ghost Gate Pass first." "It's not that he doesn't want to make a perfect plan, it's that he can't do it at all. This is a big problem, if you can't get to the ghost gate, it's a fool's dream to talk about entering the coffin mountain.
"Uh, did we jump over a cliff from a monkey?" Sherpa asked, hesitating.
The road in Chengzi Village is definitely impassable, and the monkey jumping off the cliff seems to be the only way, but Sherpa's climbing skills are not good, and he is afraid that the expedition will be dragged down.
"Wu Lao once said that there were too many people who died in those years, and they found a shortcut in the canyon to carry people to the Ghost Gate." Wang Xingguo smiled, "I think I found the way he said." ”
Spreading out a high-definition map, Wang Xingguo had already drawn the path of the Yin-Yang Road on it, and in an inconspicuous canyon next to it, Wang Xingguo traced another path, which converged with it in the middle of the Yin-Yang Road.
Mr. Min took the map and looked at it again and again, and asked suspiciously, "Are you sure?" ”
"According to Wu Lao, carrying people up the mountain can save time than Yin Yang Road, only this canyon must have a gap in it that we don't know."
"What if this doesn't work?" Xia Ruobing raised her worries.
"Then I have to take the yin and yang road." Wang Xingguo said with a smile.
"Isn't that a mountain closure?"
"Then sneak in at night, the guards will have to sleep, don't forget what I used to do." Wang Xingguo smiled and cleaned up the things on the table, "Don't shout about this matter, do it quietly." ”
Chen Badai's head shrank, smiled gloomily, and made an OK gesture: "Understood, quietly enter the village, don't shoot." ”
"Let's eat first, I'm in for a treat!" Chen Badai stood up proudly, the customer is God, and it is his bounden duty to serve the customer well - anyway, spend the customer's money!
"Wait, the equipment table specifies a 2.5L high-pressure oxygen cylinder, is this necessary?" Sherpa remembered the problem of equipment, which was usually used for alpine climbing, not at low altitudes.
"You forget, Chen Badai and Mr. Min have both had symptoms of dizziness, I estimate that there will be some problems with the air, which can at least alleviate the symptoms, in case we can't go in and out quickly, we have to have a guarantee." Wang Xingguo saw Sherpa's doubts and explained.
"But it's hard to find...... Sherpa was a little embarrassed.
"That's your problem." Wang Xingguo smiled, he believed that Sherpa would definitely be able to find it, but it would take time, but now there is time.
Everyone was tired for several days, and at this time it was a major decision, and everyone wanted to rest for a while after eating, and Mr. Min said that he wanted to go for a walk in the town and went out alone, and everyone didn't think much about it, and went back to their respective rooms to make up for sleep.
Mr. Min walked to the town's market, there were not many people in the market around noon, and the vendors were all looking for a place to sleep, Mr. Min took out his mobile phone in his pocket and dialed a number.
"Min, it's ...... early morning" was a grumbling voice in the microphone.
"Aren't you singing every night?" Mr. Min smiled, "We were kicked out by the people of Chengzi Village. ”
"Great, I'll just say you're wasting your time there, what treasure can a bunch of exorcised wizards have."
"I judged that Coffin Hill was a wizard's burial ground, and I would have found the entrance." Mr. Min's words brought Dick up to his senses, "Are you sure the wizard's golden mask is in Coffin Mountain?" ”
"There is a high probability that it will be, and the senior people in Loulan will not bury it there casually." "But even if it's not there, there's a lot of information about Loulan, and the temple in Chengzi Village has a lot of statues of Lu Wen and special ones." ”
"Hah!" Dick sneered, "Min, it costs money to engage in academics, and only treasures make money." ”
"I have my plan, I'll go into Coffin Mountain again." Mr. Min didn't want to discuss the value of those words with Dick.
Dick didn't want to discuss it, because in his opinion, the dead words were worthless, and no collector would pay a dime for a symbol that they couldn't read on the rotten bamboo slips, and archaeologists were interested in the material, but they couldn't get a dime! Then the question is simple, only the glittering treasures, the exquisite works of art, and the historical value they carry, are the hard currency that makes collectors pay a lot of money!
"By the way, Tchaikov seems to be interested in Tinianti, Min, don't waste too much time on Coffin Mountain." Dick reminded.
Mr. Min walked to a vendor, which was a small stall selling masks, he picked up a mask and looked at it, heard Dick's reminder, and said, "I thought you didn't have time to take care of Loulan's affairs." ”
"I have time to spend time drinking, and of course I occasionally find time to have a few drinks with clients." Dick laughed.
"Is Sharjah willing to transfer those materials?"
"That damn Indian tyrant, cunning as a hateful hyena, but at least for now, he rejected Tchaikov's terms."
Mr. Min thought about it in his heart for a while, and put down the mask in his hand: "I will finish the matter of Coffin Mountain as soon as possible." ”
"Don't put your life there." Dick laughed, "You're one of the few Loulan experts in the world. ”
……
Wang Xingguo and others stayed in the town for a week, Xia Ruobing added the new Lu Wen into the comparison table, and successively interpreted some of the spells of the Chengzi Village Sect Temple, Chen Badai and Wang Xingguo were not idle, took the time to explore the road, and made preliminary preparations, Mr. Min and Xia Ruobing exchanged a lot of information about Loulan that they knew, Mr. Min's understanding of Loulan surprised Xia Ruobing, and some of the information in his hand was not necessarily mastered by even authoritative experts. But Mr. Min just understated how he knew about these Loulan materials: I have a lot of friends in antiques.
The equipment needed for this day also arrived, Wang Xingguo checked it, although most of the 6mm rope is used to make auxiliary ropes, but its tensile strength is enough, in order to reduce the weight of people to get in and out quickly, Wang Xingguo decided to use the auxiliary rope abnormally to make the main rope. Sherpa really has some channels, and even has prepared other equipment used with 6mm ropes, which are usually not easy to find, especially the 2.5L high-pressure oxygen cylinder, which is expensive, but fortunately with Mr. Min's strong funding, this oxygen cylinder is enough to provide a person for 8~10 hours in the high mountains, and in low-altitude and high-temperature areas, Wang Xingguo is estimated to be able to use it for 16 hours - if everything goes well, this time is enough to get in and out of the ghost gate, even if it is not smooth, At least I have 16 more hours to survive.
Wang Xingguo's plan is very simple, these days the road exploration has basically figured out the situation, guarding the ghost gate is basically a group of two, mainly composed of sending people back, these people are not professional soldiers, they are more of a symbolic meaning here to watch, it is impossible to be vigilant all the time, for Wang Xingguo, it is easy to sneak in, but you have to sneak away with four ordinary people, Wang Xingguo's grasp is not full. Entering the mountains at night, Wang Xingguo also has to consider the danger at night, he prefers to walk the small canyon, so that he can move during the day when the visibility is high, if it is really as Xia Ruobing said, this road is not passable, then the Yin and Yang Road will be considered as a backup plan.
Wang Xingguo plans to set off before dawn tomorrow morning, send people back to the Yin and Yang Road, carry the dead man's legs and feet fast 5 hours to reach the Ghost Gate Pass, according to Wu Lao's description, the shortcut to copy the canyon is about 4 hours enough, except for the delay caused by some uncertain factors, Wang Xingguo plans to arrive at the Ghost Gate Pass within 8 hours, and then spend the night near the Ghost Gate Pass, enter at dawn, and it is best to withdraw before it gets dark.
