After taking the train for more than two days, Cai Fan and others finally arrived in Qinghai, and then got on the car again and set off for the Kunlun Mountain Pass.

Along the way, Cai Fan felt that the bones in his body were about to be scattered, and he also made strict self-criticism of his thoughts about going south and north in those years, and felt that it was more suitable for him to live a salted fish life.

As the car sped on the bumpy road, Cai Fan felt the obvious climate change, not only the weather was cold and wet, but also his breathing began to be a little unsmooth, knowing that it was because the air became thinner due to the increase in altitude, he thought to himself, if he walked in this situation, he estimated that he could only walk two or three times at most. Curiously, he stretched out his head and looked out the car window, it was a desert terrain that was uninhabited.

Just when Cai Fan was thinking in a daze, the car finally stopped moving forward. Getting out of the car and stretching his waist, Cai Fan slowly adjusted his breathing, and when he looked up, he saw the nearby scenery clearly, even if he was used to salted fish, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, what a beautiful scenery!

I saw a group of mountains undulating, the snow peaks stood abruptly, on the east and west sides of the distance, two tall snow peaks were particularly conspicuous, slim and elegant, wrapped in silver, clouds and mist, no wonder the ice and snow of Kunlun Mountain were also called thousands of autumn snow, ten thousand years of ice.

Cai Fan felt that it was actually not bad to go out for a walk at this time, and glanced at Team Li next to him, this police comrade didn't seem to be affected by the climate and environment at all, and his physique was really good, Su Guozhong and the other four people looked similar to him.

As soon as I got out of the car, someone came over to connect, it was the person who came early in the Xuan Shi Hui to take the lead, and there was a man dressed like a herdsman who came with him. After saying hello, Cai Fan knew that the guide who went up the mountain this time was the man dressed as a herdsman, called Ah Da, he was a retired soldier, and he had cooperated with the Xuan Affairs Association before.

On the way, Ah Da, who was driving, was very enthusiastic, and kept introducing Cai Fan and them to some scenic spots and legends of Kunlun Mountain. This journey lasted for more than four hours, but Cai Fan did not feel tired at all, and felt in his heart that Kunlun Mountain really deserved to be the first sacred mountain in China.

When it was already night, it was obviously much higher than the altitude of the pass, and there was a family not far away, which was supposed to be a local herdsman. Ah Da greeted them from afar, and the other party responded enthusiastically, speaking the local dialect of the ethnic minority, Cai Fan didn't understand. Ah Da took everyone into a big tent, which was lit with gasoline lamps, and there were two old men who looked about fifty years old, who looked not very good under the lamp, probably not adapted to the plateau environment here.

Su Guozhong knew these two old men, greeted each other, and introduced to Cai Fan and the others: "This is Lin Lao, this is Zhang Lao, they are both old men of the Xuanshi Society, and the two are also highly accomplished feng shui masters, who are very famous in China, and they are the first to watch the changes in the feng shui of Kunlun Mountain." Then he pointed to Cai Fan and the others and introduced them to the two old men: "This is Mr. Cai, one of the team members who went up the mountain this time, this is Mr. Cai's friend, a policeman, Captain Li." ”

They each nodded and said hello, Lin Lao sighed, and asked with some curiosity: "This Mr. Cai is called Mr. at such a young age, and his attainments in feng shui are not low, right?" How I haven't heard of it. ”

Although the other party's tone was not very good, Cai Fan didn't bother to bother with him, shook his head and said, "I'm not your kind of gentleman, I'm that kind of gentleman." ”

"Oh, I see." Lin Lao nodded, understanding what Cai Fan meant.

Su Guozhong motioned for everyone to sit down and drink hot tea, and asked, "Elder Lin, Elder Zhang, have you seen the feng shui of Kunlun Mountain, have you found any changes?" ”

Zhang Lao shook his head and said: "I haven't noticed a big change for the time being, that is, the feng shui on the side of the death zone is slightly different from the one recorded by another feng shui master who came to check it in 1981, and we can't say why, and the reason is not clear." ”

Su Guozhong was silent for a while, and then said: "That is also the place where the above instructed our team to investigate, that is, the famous Gate of Hell, there are a lot of rumors about this area, ten years ago it was a sensation in the country, it is estimated that everyone has also heard of it, at that time, many forces sent teams to investigate, but there was little progress, and then more people died, and that place also stopped, and now ordinary people will not go there." ”

Seeing that Cai Fan and the others didn't say anything, Su Guozhong continued: "Let me talk about the arrangement, I will lead the team this time, and the team members include Mr. Cai, Captain Li, Ah Da, as well as Zhang Feng, Yang Guodong, and Yu Dazhuang. ”

The other few people that Su Guozhong ordered were three of the logistics personnel who came over together, and these three were all in good health, and they had obviously practiced. Cai Fan knew that they were the same as the Erniu who was killed by the human skin ghost shadow in the ghost building before, and they were all in charge of the Xuanshi Society.

At this time, Cai Fan suddenly asked a little strangely: "Aren't these two old people going?" ”

When Zhang Lao heard this, his face immediately became bloodshot with excitement, and he pointed at Cai Fan with a trembling finger and said, "Young man, do you know how to respect the old and love the young!" We're a lot older, and it's good to be here, but if we do, we'll have to bury ourselves on the ground. ”

Cai Fan scratched his head embarrassedly and muttered in a low voice: "Isn't the feng shui in Kunlun Mountain very good?" It's not bad to bury it. As soon as these words came out, if the two masters were already panting and lacking physical strength, they would probably have to jump up and fight with Cai Fan.

Cai Fan hurriedly apologized and explained that it was an unintentional mistake, and he didn't mean anything else, just curious, so the two masters didn't continue to lose their temper with cold faces.

Lin Lao took a breath, snorted and said: "Young people don't talk nonsense if they don't know much, this is the sacred mountain, where the gods live, do ordinary people dare to bury this?" Even the emperor didn't dare, which emperor in history dared to pay attention here?! And the direction of this dragon vein is also very elegant, not suitable for burying people! ”

Su Guozhong saw that a few people still had to care, so he hurriedly came out to be a peacemaker, so that the two masters would not be angry, and then continued: "The two masters are not suitable for entering the mountain, and they will go down the mountain after tonight, and we will rest here for three days, and the team's guide, Ah Da, will give us a simple training in the mountain, and then we will set off." ”

Now that everything should be said and said, everyone dispersed to eat and rest.

The night here is quiet and clear, and you feel like your soul has been washed by the mountain. Cai Fan didn't sleep very well this night, he missed the dog, and he thought a lot about the old man's master......

As soon as the morning dawned, Cai Fan and a few people from the Li team were screamed, first talking about a lot of places to pay attention to in Kunlun Mountain, including the use of items, precautions for mountaineering, and then familiar with tools, this talk was talked about for a morning. In addition to ordinary tools and items, Zhang Feng and Yang Guodong also brought a shotgun, and they said that they bought it from herdsmen, and explained to Cai Fan that this thing was a bit of a big cover.

Cai Fan didn't understand any of this, but he thought to himself, is this going to fight monsters with a gun? I took it in my hand and tinkered with it a few times, and then handed it back. Ah Da said that unless it was an extremely dangerous moment to enter the mountain this time, no shots were allowed, because the sound of gunshots could easily cause avalanches.

In the afternoon, Cai Fan and Su Guozhong were both practicing walking, and they also drew a lot of talismans on a simple altar. The air here is thin, the physical exertion is much greater than usual, no one knows what they will encounter, how to be fully prepared, spells and charms are what the two of them are good at.

Time was tight, and three days passed quickly.

On this day, a group of six people sorted out their equipment and put on the clothes they were sent out, which were specially customized plastic jackets and plastic hiking shoes for this trip, everyone was a little strange, and Cai Fan asked: "Why are you wearing this?" ”

Ah Da just shook his head and didn't elaborate, only said that it would be useful, and everyone had no opinion, after all, Ah Da had the most experience in entering the mountain, and as for Cai Fan and the others, their eyes were black. Before leaving, Ah Da once again emphasized the things to pay attention to, especially when encountering anything on the way into the mountain, you must listen to his command, otherwise something will happen, which makes Cai Fan and the others a little nervous.

This time, the target location is a canyon in the northwest of the Kunlun Mountains, and beyond that is a no-man's land of several hundred miles. It wasn't until he entered the mountain that Cai Fan felt the difficulty of climbing the snowy mountain, the mountain was high and the road was slippery, the physical exertion was greater than usual, and the climate was cold and wet, the team marched relatively slowly, and several people usually exercised, otherwise it was estimated that they would have to retreat in half a day. Ah Da is extremely familiar with the climate and environment of Kunlun Mountain, and it seems relatively relaxed along the way.

It took more than a day for the six of them to climb a snowy peak, and finally reached the edge of the target location, not to mention the hardships.

Ah Da told everyone to stop, and then said, "Further this canyon is the death zone." Then he pointed to the other side, "Over there is the snow-capped mountain line, and there are troops stationed on several mountains over there." ”

When he got here, Cai Fan felt less cold, but the air was more humid. And you can still see a little popularity behind you, but looking into the canyon, although the scenery is still spectacular, but suddenly people don't appreciate it, just on this side you already feel the silence inside, surprisingly quiet, and there is an inexplicable strange atmosphere permeating people's hearts, making people feel heavy and depressed, it seems that even the wind is heavy.

Cai Fan looked at Su Guozhong, Su Guozhong was also looking at him, both of them felt something unusual, but Zhang Feng and the others were not very obvious.

It is worthy of the rumored death zone, Cai Fan thought to himself, but it is also very strange, what are you doing here? Just take a look?

Ah Da told everyone to rest on the spot, wait for him to see the situation before going in, and then walked to the side and looked at the sky, and then looked at his watch, and he didn't know what he was looking at.

Su Guozhong waited for Cai Fan and them to sit down before telling the next thing, this time they must go to the place where the files in the Xuan Shi Guild are recorded, and try to explore it as much as possible if possible.

Cai Fan's heart sank, it was really inexplicable, isn't this a pit person? Obviously, they were regarded as pathfinders, but when they thought that the old man had probably been here, they didn't say anything, and Mrs. Zhao also entrusted him to find the old man's traces, so he couldn't just go back.

Su Guozhong was also bitter in his heart, took out an old map from the plastic bag, opened it and looked at it, and then glanced at Cai Fan, thinking that I would not come to this ghost place because I had to follow you.

Team Li looked very quiet, and he didn't know what he was thinking, Cai Fan found that he didn't talk much along the way, so he asked: "Eh, Team Li, I see that you didn't say much all the way, are you okay?" ”

Team Li shook his head and said, "It's okay, it's the first time I've come to this kind of place, I'm not used to it, but Master Cai doesn't have to worry about me, I didn't just suffer from this when I was training before I became a police officer." ”

Cai Fan nodded and didn't say anything, but Team Li looked at the canyon in the distance quietly and thought, how can there be a breath in this place that can only have a gap between yin and yang, is there a crack leading to the underworld? No, if there is a crack in this kind of place, no one can seal it, something is wrong, something is wrong......

After more than half an hour, the six of them continued to set off. As the team walked inside, Cai Fan really felt the breath of death along the way, the dead and silent environment, the animal bones that can be seen everywhere, among which there are even human bones, which seem to be of different ages, scattered mountaineering items can occasionally be seen on the ground, as well as rotten firearms, etc., in addition, not a single living person is seen. And not to mention living people, not even living creatures, although the vegetation in the canyon is richer than on the snow-capped mountains, and there are different colors in the eyes, but it can't offset the feeling of breathlessness.

Such a situation inevitably made Cai Fan feel frightened, and the team, including Ah Da, stopped talking, and all of them became nervous.

Su Guozhong whispered, "What the hell is this place? It's too evil. Others thought so, with a hint of curiosity in addition to nervousness and depression.

kept hurrying, the road was almost the same, the quiet atmosphere made Cai Fan a little numb, except for listening to the places where Ah Da reminded him from time to time, and occasionally listened to Zhang Feng and Yang Guodong chatting quietly, no one said a word otherwise.

After walking for almost half a day, Cai Fan felt a little tired, and was about to ask everyone to stop and rest for a while, but Ah Da suddenly raised his hand to signal everyone to stop. Cai Fan and the others were startled by Ah Da's sudden movement, and looked around nervously, only to see that a strange white fog began to rise in front of them at some point, and it was drifting towards everyone. Ah Da quickly lowered his voice and said: "Let's all lean together and don't move, don't leave the place, don't make a sound, you will see something in the fog for a while, and you will hear strange sounds, but don't shoot, don't move." ”

Such a reminder made others wonder, but seeing that Ah Da, who was quite relaxed before, suddenly became so nervous, and the strange white mist gradually shrouded the group, I couldn't help but feel that my heart was beating faster, and my mouth was dry.
