Looking at the rat of such a size, the average person is probably frightened. As it ran with the bell in my mouth, I quickly raised my foot and stepped on its tail hard, swinging the crowbar in my hand with all my might. The almost one-meter-long rat was smashed and turned over, and the bell in its mouth blurted out. It didn't have time to retrieve the lost bell, and when it turned around, it saw the crowbar in my hand slamming down with the sound of the wind, and the big mouse squeaked a few times, and fled away in despair.

This time, I couldn't stop it, and in the blink of an eye, the big mouse disappeared from sight. As soon as it fled, the entire ghost village suddenly seemed like a bunch of bubbles, dissipating invisibly, and only a whistling wind could be heard blowing continuously. I hurried over a few steps and flicked the bell on the ground with a crowbar. It was a rusty brass bell, and its voice seemed to have a magical power that could disturb people's minds. Although the outer shell of the copper bell is stained with green rust, if you look closely, you can still see the imprint of a leaf in the rust.

I plugged the bell tightly with a strip of cloth to prevent it from making any sound, and looked in the direction of the big rat fleeing, this big mouse with a leaf bell, what does that mean? Does it mean that it also has something to do with the ethereal natural way?

Looking back now on the previous war, I feel very uncomfortable. I survived, so for me, that battle was infinitely sharpening, but what if I died? The big rat is not 100% kind, but is just forcing me to transform.

Naturally, I suddenly remembered what the black evil spirit had said to me. If I am strong, I am the lord of the world, and if I am weak, it is better to die. At this moment, I couldn't tell whether it was a test of kindness or a torture of malice.

Lao Fuba and I then ran back to the car, and the ghost village disappeared, but this was a slaughterhouse where many people had died in the past, the terrain was slightly low, and there was a raised hill on each side, one high and one low, which is called the Yin Land in Feng Shui, and the Yin Qi gathers but does not disperse. When we ran to the car, we could still feel a faint noise nearby, and shadows flickering and moving, but there were no big rats to haunt these dirty things. I got in the car to see Wang Qianjian, his breath was a little weak, fortunately he was burly, his yang energy was heavy, fainting was fainting, and he would definitely not die. If he doesn't wake up, Lao Fuba and I won't fiddle with the car, cure patience, etc. The night faded little by little, and when the sky was about to dawn, Wang Qianqian shivered, opened his eyes violently, and was about to smash it with a wrench.

"Don't, don't!" Lao Fuba hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop: "See it clearly and then smash it." ”

Wang Qianqian recovered from the ignorance of the first awakening, rubbed his eyes and looked around, the sky was bright, and everything near the ghost village was temporarily dormant. He breathed a long sigh of relief, dropped the wrench, and told us that materialists cannot be defeated by anything, and that it turns out that all demons do not exist, and even if they do, they will retreat. I sat in the back seat of the car, and the exhaustion after a few twists and turns became more and more unstoppable, and I smiled faintly.

As soon as the morning dawned, the journey went smoothly, and Wang Qianqian led us directly from here to the mountain pass more than 300 miles south of Golmud. This season, the snow has melted on the big river beach, but the mountains behind the pass are still covered with snow. Lao Fuba came from the mountains, and he said that in winter, the mountains are covered by heavy snow, and the climate is bad, and the weather will not be thawed until at least the end of March and April of the following year.

"I can't get in, just take a look outside the mountain pass."

The three of us stayed outside for a long time, and Wang Qianqian was going to send us back to Golmud and then to Xining, but I politely refused. It just so happened that he was also in a hurry to return to the team, so he said goodbye here. As soon as the king walked forward, Lao Fuba and I came closer to the side of the mountain pass, and on the other side of the mountain pass was the vast mountains and seas, and there was no end in sight, and there was a deep dead silence, as if all life had been extinguished, and no one had set foot in it for 11,000 years.

"Not a single one." Lao Fuba was used to this bitter cold environment, but he didn't like to be lonely, looked at the quiet mountain pass, and said, "How many years has no one been here?" ”

"Not necessarily." I squinted, and my heart tightened, for I saw a rotten horse's head in the melted snow behind the pass, and the horse's hollow eyes were looking at it, and although it was a dead thing, it made me feel faintly uneasy.

This road, it won't look so smooth.

The two of us prepared here for a while, and then quietly entered the mountain pass, and as soon as we entered the mountain pass, the little Taoma showed a very clear route. It refers to reliable routes, all shortcuts in the mountains. This little pottery horse is the same era as the Xuanhuang Ancestral Bird, and he has lived in the Kunlun Mountains for a long time in the past, so he knows a lot of things. Just give it a belly and it will not only provide a route, but also some instructions. The Kunlun Mountains, which are now empty and silent, were not the case many years ago, although there is no legendary cave of the gods, but there are civilizations far from the interior, and there are several ancient kingdoms that have disappeared in the long river of history.

Lao Baba and I were not familiar with this place at all, and we didn't know the name of the snow peak on the way, so we just followed the guidance of the little Taoma. The road here is far more winding than the most difficult road on the river beach, and the snow begins to melt, but in some places you can sink half into the snow as soon as you step on it. It took about six or seven days to make such a difficult journey, and it was very deep in the mountains. The route guided by the little Tao Ma was interrupted, and he had to continue to ask, and after this questioning, the little Tao Ma revealed two words in addition to the normal route.

"Seven tricks." Lao Fuba looked at the prominent handwriting on the little Tao Ma and said, "What do you mean?" ”

The legendary Lord of Kunlun is the Queen Mother of the West. Some people say that the Queen Mother of the West is really there, but it is not a god, but it is the leader of a huge tribe in Kunlun. The two words of the Seven Tricks displayed on the little Tao Ma should refer to the Seven Tricks of the West Queen Mother's subordinates, that is, the Seven Tricks Ancient Kingdom. The Western Queen Mother in the Kunlun Domain was supposed to be in a matriarchal clan society at that time, and women occupied a dominant and dominant position within the tribe and the state. The Kunlun states had very little contact with the mainland, except for the Zhou Dynasty's King Mu of Zhou and the Xiongnu who had some contacts with the Kunlun countries, and the rest were blank in historical materials. After the Kunlun Kingdoms disappeared, everything they had was buried in the Kunlun Mountains, and only some of the relevant information of the Seven Ancient Kingdoms was leaked. In the twenties of the last century, a Swedish archaeologist found some tribal relics in Mongolia that may have come from the ancient Xiongnu, and after research, he determined that these relics involved a mysterious country, that is, the ancient country of Qiqiao from Kunlun.

The Seven Tricks Ancient Kingdom was very small, and the only mission of this ancient country was to find jade and jewelry for the Queen Mother of the West, the leader of the kingdoms at that time, the jewelry was used for decoration, and the jade was used to make ritual utensils. The discovery of this Swede caused a sensation in a small area, and some people felt that the records of the ancient Huns were true, that the ancient kingdom of Qiqi once existed, and that before and after the decline and disappearance of the Western Queen Mother tribe, many jade jewelry that should have been offered were left in the territory of the ancient kingdom of Qiqi, which naturally caused a series of explorations and searches. Until the eve of liberation, archaeologists and explorers from various countries went deep into Kunlun.

No one knows the specific location of the Seven Tricks Ancient Kingdom, and in such a large area of mountains, the environment is extremely harsh, and all the surveys and searches have basically returned. But the little Tao Ma knew everything about Kunlun, and the handwriting on it made me realize that the place we were in now was probably very close to the legendary Seven Tricks Ancient Kingdom.

At that time, I was not interested in things like jewelry and jade, because there was no practical use for me, so the Seven Tricks Ancient Kingdom only gave me more knowledge of wild history. We continued to follow the designated route, the route was basically valleys and flatlands that could be walked between the mountains, and the two of us went around a sunny hillside, and the snow at the foot of the mountain melted somewhat, and while going around this slope, I saw at a glance that in the snow, there was a man leaning against the stones at the foot of the mountain, as if resting.

I didn't expect to meet people here, so I was surprised and a little nervous, because I didn't know the origin and purpose of the other party. I walked with Lao Fuba for a moment, but after two more glances, I suddenly felt that the man was not resting, as if he was dead.

Sure enough, when we got closer, we realized that this person was indeed frozen here after he died. I don't know if this is someone who came to find the legendary Seven Tricks Ancient Country, the climate in the Snow Peaks is too harsh, and sometimes it really causes altitude sickness or hypothermia, and I can't get up again when I sit down.

The man was covered in a layer of ice, and the backpack behind him was solid and frozen with stones, and I wasn't going to touch him, but the old man saw a gun next to him.

"Bring us the gun, we can defend ourselves." Lao Fuba bowed and shook the man frozen at the foot of the mountain, and then ran to get the gun, the gun and the stone were frozen together, and it was so hard that it could not be broken even if he tried hard, so Lao Fuba picked up a stone and smashed it from the butt of the gun. But just a few hits, at the same time, we felt a terrifying wave of waves, as if facing a sea that was about to blow a hurricane. Formation craftsman intermediate.

"What's going on!" Lao Fuba straightened his waist, looked around, opened his eyes in a daze, pinched the stone and said, "Who did you provoke?" ”
