Chapter 7: Half-mountain
Drive all the way from the lost city to the place where there is an airport, go straight to Kyoto, and then fly from Kyoto to Qingcheng. Entering the territory of Inner Mongolia, Fan Li saw the white clouds floating below him and the blue sky above his head on the plane, and felt that this was the fairyland where Freidem was staying. He just looked out the window and came to Qingcheng infatuated, got off the plane, stepped into Qingcheng, couldn't wait to see the prairie, but unfortunately walked out of the airport to see high-rise buildings, from Qingcheng to West Wuzhumuqin Banner also need to pass through Xilinhot, more than six o'clock in the afternoon, they walked out of Xilinhot Airport, looking up is the blue sky and white clouds.
"Suddenly I think it's strange, Inner Mongolia is so big, should we go to Half-mountain or find Nisna first."
"I think it's better to find Half-mountain first." Jialan looked up at the sky. "Innocent blue, I really want to live here for the rest of my life."
They spent the night in a hurry in Xilinhot, and the next morning they chartered a van and went straight to Half-mountain in West Uzhumuqin Banner. This so-called Half-mountain is actually called Banla Mountain locally, it may be that Ni Ziqiong thinks that Banla Mountain is not good, and it has a duplicate name, so it is called Half-mountain. In the photo, this half-mountain is not a mountain in the actual sense, but a small hill. It is said that when Genghis Khan's soldiers marched here, they were stopped by a mountain, and he howled angrily, raised his battle axe, and split the mountain in half, so that there was such a hill shaped like a cliff.
To be honest, the feeling that Xilinhot City gives Fan Li is that the air is fresh, it is rare to breathe such fresh air in such a small city, and it is not possible to see the blue sky and white clouds when you look up in such a small city. It is said that autumn is the beginning of the silence of everything in the north, but today is the middle of August, and the wild is still green and yellow, and there are still countless mantis chirping. The driver raced all the way to the West Wuzhumuqin Banner, and then drove over to the position of Banla Mountain. After about an hour, yurts and buggies appeared in front of me.
It turned out that this was still a tourist area, but because the weather became colder, the staff here were withdrawn, and the yurts around were also tied with big dogs. Soon, a hill suddenly appeared on the prairie of the Flat River, the right side of which was cut off by Qi Shasha, and the left side was very gentle, and such a slope and road condition should take less than half an hour to reach the top.
The driver said that many people have fallen to death in this place, there is no danger of Huashan here, and there is no weirdness of Qinling, so many tourists are relieved to climb to the top of the mountain boldly, and there will be a tragedy. Fan Li's got off at the foot of the mountain, and he gave the driver 10,000 yuan, and agreed to meet in this place a day later, and he would pay another 10,000 yuan. The driver happily instructed them for a while, and then drove away.
Because of the small number of visitors in the autumn, the yurts have become decorations, with only a few people shaking around, and there may be the remaining garbage pickers, who go around to the split side of the half-mountain and set up improvised tents. There was grass everywhere, and there was a very hidden stream in front of it, surrounded by tall reeds, and the water in it was cold and biting, and there was no shadow of fish and shrimp.
Fan Li's dream was seen this time, although it was not as full of poetry as in a dream, but it was also an eye-opener. After all, for today's world, such blue skies and white clouds and clean air have become a luxury. He looked at the yurts with big dogs on a leash, and if he had come earlier, would he have been able to taste the herdsmen's favorite hand-grabbed mutton?
Milk tea, roasted whole lamb, finger lamb and ...... A series of dairy foods, thinking of this, Fan Li's mouth was already drooling, and he looked at the top of the tent in a daze. He liked the feeling of freedom so much, and it would be perfect if there was an eagle flying in the sky.
"Jialan, you said that the people in this place will directly cook the mutton, sprinkle a handful of salt and eat it, will the mountain taste be very strong?"
"For me, it's good meat, as for the mountain taste, it shouldn't be too heavy, after all, these are sheep, and the meat quality of sheep is better than that of goats, at least better than goat meat in the central region." Jialan took out a roasted sausage and handed it to Fan Li, but he waved his hand.
"I remember when we went to the grave together, because of the long distance, in order to save food, you also ate raw meat, just like those wolves, pounced on a sheep and tore the meat on it, it looked fragrant!"
Jialan smiled and shook her head. "You won't miss the taste of raw meat, Ye Yuning wasn't a chef at the beginning, you haven't discussed the taste of raw meat together."
"How can we have that spare time."
"yes, I'm busy rolling the sheets." Jialan, a poisonous snake, is also said to be such a beautiful scenery, but which pot is not opened. Fan Li really missed Ye Yuning, and finally relieved the painful past through this round-the-world trip, and her sentence made his heart sink for a while.
Fan looked up at the sun that was about to set and pointed to the west. Sure enough, the last rays of the sun of the day hit the broken wall, staining the entire yellow-brown broken wall red. Fan Li and Jialan hurriedly put on their backpacks, pressed the tent under the stones, and carefully looked at the boulder next to the broken wall.
"So many boulders, which one is it?" Fan Li said.
"Wait a little longer." Jialan replied.
Just before the sun had completely set, a scorpion-like shadow suddenly appeared on the cliff ahead. Jialan and Fan Li hurriedly ran over and looked at the scorpion carefully. The shadow barely looked like a scorpion, with its head rushing down, two large claws that seemed to point to the ground, and a tail behind it, which could not appear as delicate as eight legs. Fan looked at the place where the scorpion was pointing and found that there was only one boulder. Jialan stroked the stone wall, looking for the mystery above.
At this time, there were no more people around, and only the people in the yurt who watched the venue were left, and these people got into the yurt early because of the drop in temperature.
"Is it because of the stones?" Fan Li stared at the stone, then took out a flashlight and looked carefully at the boulder in front of him, he found that the place where the stone and the ground were not tightly connected, according to previous experience, this stone should be a mechanism, if you push it away, there will be a secret passage or something like that.
"Here, take a hand!" Fan Li's hands were on the stone, and Jialan understood and worked hard with him. Sure enough, under the joint force of the two of them, the stone trembled slightly, and only felt that there was a pop under his hands, and a gap was revealed between the stone and the earth, and the surrounding sand began to leak in.
"Sure enough, I guessed correctly, go on!"
They pushed the stone away, and a tunnel appeared in front of them, and Fan Li said that he was about to jump down, but Jialan patted him on the shoulder and motioned for her to take the lead. In terms of fighting ability and agility, she is far inferior to Jialan, and she can also do witchcraft, so Fan Li has no reason to refuse.
It was a very low tunnel with a dirt road inside, and it looked like it had been improvised by tomb robbers. Jialan and Fan Tanuki walked in with their waists, so Jialan couldn't use a bow and arrows, so she could only drag the longbow with one hand and hold the wooden arrow with the other. Fan Lifu turned the Soul into a flashlight and shone it forward, and the straight blue light kept hitting forward, and a turn appeared in front of him.
They walked for about an hour, and kept this position, Fan Li only felt a sore back, and he sighed that he was really old and useless. At this time, the light in front of him suddenly spread out strangely, and the four walls that should be there became open.
The two slowed down and stepped cautiously on it. An exit gradually appeared in front of her, Jialan looked inside with a flashlight, and then nodded at Fan Li, she threw out the bird skull bracelet, closed her eyes and meditated for a while, and then boldly walked out.
"Wow!" Walking out of the tunnel, Fan Li lifted the spirit, the blue light illuminated his eyes, and rows of boxes similar to those in the policewoman's lair appeared around him, he opened the box and took a look inside, and found that there were all small test tubes inside, but these test tubes were different from Ye Yuning's, and they contained black things.
Fan Li carefully pinched out one, and through the blue light, he found that the black thing inside was like smoke, and it was still floating, as if there was an air current at the bottom blowing smoke and dancing.
"That's what it is...... Magical energy? Jialan also took out one and looked at the test tube carefully.
"There's enough ...... here Tens of thousands. Fan Li looked at the box in front of him and said.
"Ni Ziqiong just wants us to see this, and then report it to the 'ant nest'? There must be a reason why Qin Ziyang hid these things in the first place. ”
"She shouldn't report it to Lan Pa, I can't guess her mind now, it seems that she is on Qin Ziyang's side, since she was tricked by Ye Yuning last time, I have begun to be wary of these female agents, they are all unusual and suspicious."
"Fan Li, look here." Jialan said, Fan Li followed the voice and walked over, and found that there was a bookshelf next to Jialan, which contained a lot of documents, all of which were printed with the logo of "ant nest", which made him recall the documents left by his grandfather.
Fan Li opened a document, which read "Assessment of the Danger of Magic Energy", followed by a lot of experimental data, and finally wrote in a series of Chinese: The preliminary conclusion is that magic energy can simulate the DNA of any living being, and can obtain DNA coding sequences, independently produce new sequence recoding, and can also rearrange DNA modifications, and even directly change the modification of new proteins without being limited by translation pathways, produce proteins with different functions, and then express different traits.
Of course, Fan Li couldn't understand the meaning, so he picked up another book, which was still a risk assessment of magic energy, and some of the properties of magic energy were written in detail later, which were the same words that Fan Li couldn't understand, but he understood the last paragraph, and finally wrote this paragraph: If you use magic energy to transform the soldier's physical ability, changing the nature of the translated protein without changing the DNA can achieve the desired purpose, but the consequences of such an act are still inconclusive, and it may have a devastating effect on the soldier's body. Fan Li flipped through the other reports, all of which were evaluations of magic energy, most of which expounded on the shortcomings of magic energy in all aspects, and none of the reports introduced where magic energy came from.
"It seems that this Qin Ziyang is afraid that the 'ant nest' will use the magic energy to start a war, so he secretly sealed the magic energy." Fan Li concluded.
"Then her original intention is good, if this magic energy project is a new star plan for the 'Ant Nest', then the failure of this plan means that Qin Ziyang has lost its practical significance to the 'Ant Nest', which led to a series of things that happened later." Fan Li continued. "But I'm still strange, it was said before that Qin Ziyang can establish an emotional connection with animals, which is one of Qin Ziyang's advantages, if she can manipulate insects like cockroaches as spies, then the value of the 'ant nest' is still very great, why bother to lose her leadership position because of a magic energy plan."
"Such a complex organization as the 'Ant Nest' must have secrets that they don't know, even if we know it, it won't help, I think it's better for these magic powers to stay here, once it comes out, more people will want to study it, and then it won't be something that Qin Ziyang can deal with alone." Jialan reinserts the tube into the box.
"Makes sense." Fan Lixi nodded at Jialan and put down the test tube, when a thunderclap suddenly sounded in his ears, causing him to faint immediately, Jialan grabbed Fan Li, but the test tube in his hand slipped to the ground, and with a crisp sound, the black substance inside splashed out.
"Damn it!" Jialan pulled Fan Li's back step, at this time, Fan Li's cough, he woke up, and the black smoke in front of him rushed to him like lightning, he only felt that his eyes were dark again, and the whole person lost consciousness.
