Chapter 1000: Suspicion
After four and a half days, our group finally arrived in Dali, Yunnan.
Unlike what I remembered, Dali today is sparsely populated, and it does not necessarily have the crowds of tourist resorts more than ten years ago.
The mute Chen Chong drove the car to a secluded private garage, and Chen Ming and I took the opportunity to get out of the car and look at the deliberate house.
As soon as his feet hit the ground, the kid came back to life full of blood, and his eyes sparkled at me.
"Hehe, I did business once when I was young, tsk, it's really changed now. The first to speak was Chen Ming, this guy was dozing off all the way, and he was in good spirits as soon as he arrived on the ground.
As a result, I sat like a needle cushion for more than four days, and almost no one on the off-road vehicle spoke except for Chen Yongtai's occasional question about how long Chen Chong was.
However, the tall man surnamed Chen is a person who can't speak, and the conversation with Chen Yongtai is basically babbling plus sign language, I can't interject to liven up the atmosphere, and I tried twice and failed.
Indirectly, I also fell asleep with Chen Ming all the way, and now I am groggy and don't want to speak.
I rolled my eyes at Chen Ming, looking at his lively appearance, I don't know if it was because Uncle Yongtai was in the car, a little embarrassed, or really tired.
Chen Ming, who was in high spirits, dragged me and pointed to the endless mountains in front of me, I was dizzy by him, and I wanted to tell him that Lao Tzu had also traveled before, and he didn't know the scenic spots here.
But when I look closely, oh my god, I haven't been to this place before!
"Where is this?"
I blurted out, breaking Chen Ming's palm and looking around. Behind me is the house that Chen Chong entered with the car, built on a sunken cliff with mountains and rivers, and directly opposite is the mountain waterfall.
I took a few steps forward and stood on the edge of the cliff and looked down, only to see the clouds and the lush green trees.
Blinking twice, not only have I never been to this place, but I have not seen such a fairy-like mountain col in Dali in any geographical magazine.
Chen Ming seemed to be frightened by my sudden move, and after a slow beat, he reacted and immediately grabbed me by the back collar and pulled me back.
"You're looking for death!" he glared at me, turning serious, "It's more than 6,000 meters above sea level here, and I won't be able to catch you if you plant it." ”
More than 6,000 meters!!
You're such a fool!
"The Sepang Mountains outside the country are more than 4,000 years old, not to mention the Cangshan Mountains that are lower than it in the territory, bullying me for being uneducated!"
I turned my head and broke him, but only after I finished saying it did I see Chen Ming's eyes full of contempt.
Uh, maybe, I really don't have much culture?
Just when I was struggling with whether I didn't learn geography well when I was a child, Chen Ming raised his hand and put it on my shoulder, and said worriedly, "Dude, sometimes I really doubt how you have the confidence to say that Zhang Xu's kid is uneducated, I see that your family history was not good when you were in the Zhang family......
The next thing is Chen Ming, who thinks he reads very well, and gave me a science popularization of the real first peak of Dali, Yulan Peak.
As soon as I heard this name, I immediately thought of the bar opened by Chen Yongtai in the second ring road, isn't it called Yulan Building?
It turns out that after all these years, this old man still remembers the Miao Jiang girl back then.
I was a little distracted by the name, and I turned my mind to studying.
A long time ago, when there were no national borders, the highest peak of Dali was indeed here. However, later cultivators found that this was the most peaceful point of the intersection of yin and yang, and the collision of the two opposing forces did not cause turmoil, so they decided that cultivating in Yulan Peak could go further.
There are even many enlightened people who have deduced that the highest point of Yulan Peak is the breakthrough point between this world and the outside world.
Hearing this, I was stunned, and couldn't help but ask Chen Ming what basis he had.
But he can't say why, scratching his ears and cheeks, he wants to sublimate my family cultural knowledge, but I was asked as soon as I got started.
"Haha, in fact, those are the world's assumptions, and so far there is no convincing theory. ”
When I raised my chin and laughed at Chen Ming, Master Yongtai walked out of the garage with the big man, with his hands behind his back, with that smiling look, he felt a little fairy.
As soon as he appeared, Chen Ming was like a frosted eggplant, and he sighed and stopped talking.
I noticed that Chen Yongtai seemed to want to talk to him, but couldn't find a place to start. I had no intention of interfering in the Chen family's housework, and it wasn't something that my junior could manage, so I coughed lightly and changed the topic away, and I was really curious about this place as I spoke.
After all, this place has never been seen in any literature, which aroused my strong desire to learn.
Seeing that I was so persistent, Chen Yongtai made a gesture for us to follow him first. Naturally, I have no opinion, I came here to listen to his arrangement, so I pulled Chen Ming and walked over.
The mute man named Chen Chong consciously walked at the end, and I couldn't help but look back at him a few more times, and I always felt that this person was a little strange.
"Just talking about Magnolia Peak," Chen Yongtai said at this moment, interrupting my thoughts.
I nodded, and asked him if he was a cultivator who thought that this place could break through the space and go to other worlds, so he used a formation to block this place, so that no one knew.
Unexpectedly, Chen Yongtai shook his head with a smile, saying that it was not about cultivators, but that he had people do it after the establishment of the Great Xia Kingdom.
"Why is that, is it good for them?" I was stunned.
Chen Yongtai paused and said meaningfully, "Do you remember the thirty-three forbidden areas in the Great Xia Kingdom? ”
I was shocked, a little confused, even Chen Ming, who had been silent, was surprised, staring at Chen Yongtai's back burningly.
At this time, the road under your feet began to be uneven, and there was a tendency to gradually slope downward, and at the same time, the surrounding atmosphere was not as fresh as it was in the house just now, mixed with an unpleasant smell.
Some...... Like an evil spirit?!
"What the hell is this place?"
I stopped abruptly, grabbed Chen Ming, who was headless and brainless and rushed forward with one hand, and put the other hand on the talisman seal in my arms.
The matter of the evil spirit has already been settled with Hades before, and there can be no omission.
Even if there are so many lucky ones who escape, they can't avoid the pursuit of the ghosts under the king of Hades, how can they end up here, and the number is not small from the smell, and the feeling is even more obvious when they come against the wind.
At this time, Chen Ming also sensed that something was wrong, and directly unsheathed his long sword, and the sharp tip of the sword pointed directly at Chen Yongtai's back heart.
However, the old man of the Immortal Wind Dao Bone did not move, but opened his mouth to let Chen Chong stop. I had a loud alarm bell in my heart, and when I turned around, I was surprised to find that the mute man was actually holding a gun in his hand and pointing it at Chen Ming.
The distance between the pitch-black muzzle and the back of Chen Ming's head was less than three centimeters, and the most important thing was that Chen Ming's kid hadn't noticed it yet, and looked back at me a little blankly.
“...... Forget it, Chen Ming, put down your sword. I sighed, stared at Chen Chong's index finger that held the trigger, and motioned to Chen Ming with my eyes.
This time I met a master, and the strength of the dumb man felt no less than me.
Chen Ming and I glanced at each other, our mouths were full of bitterness, and we didn't know what Chen Yongtai had in mind. Chen Chong saw Chen Ming put down his long sword, and also withdrew his pistol at the same time.
My person in charge concluded that the pistol was definitely loaded with bullets, and it must have been specially designed to deal with our special ammunition.
Could it be that I bought it with the Great Xia Kingdom? At present, there is only this channel.
Just when I was secretly speculating, Chen Yongtai looked at the two of us, "Don't get me wrong, I don't mean anything else, it's just that this matter is not easy to explain." ”
He motioned for us to follow him, and I realized that he was going to take us down the mountain.
"I'm guessing you've already thought about it, yes, the evil spirits here are the ones you ran out of the underworld when you were fighting the underworld. The characteristics of Magnolia Peak not only attract the guys of the human world, but also have an irresistible temptation to those ghosts. ”
There was silence for a long time before Chen Yongtai began to explain to us. According to what he meant, the Great Xia Kingdom listed this place as a hidden forbidden area at the beginning, more because of the special attributes of Yulan Peak, and the Xia Clan didn't seem to let people know that there was still this place.
And the formation here is actually not arranged, but naturally bringed.
Those who were among the first to discover this place only wanted to ascend to the Tao themselves and get rid of the shackles of space, and of course they didn't want others to know about it.
So naturally, no one knew about it except for the cultivators who first discovered it, and seeing that there was no mention of this place in the geographical documents published by the Great Xia Kingdom, it was natural to turn a blind eye.
It can be said that the interests of many parties are satisfied, and everyone unanimously chooses to remain silent.
Over time, with the death of the cultivators who truly knew the mysteries, there were only a few people left who truly understood.
What's more, ordinary cultivators generally can't sense it, and only when they go deep into the realm will they find the difference, plus there are not many people who know it, so there are not many people here who know about it.
Chen Ming will know that it is because the ancestor of the Chen family has inadvertently walked in once in his early years.
As for Chen Yongtai, I can only say that this old guy has a lot of secrets, and after talking about it for a long time, he gave me a science popularization, never mentioning how he found this place, and he bought a house so arrogantly.
Not to mention the strange aura on the mute Chen Chong, all in all, this old guy's words don't seem to be fully believed.
Even if Chen Lao strongly recommends it, after so many years have passed, who can guarantee that it will be the same as it was back then?
In the past few years, I have long seen the ugliest thing that is not the human heart.
I lowered my eyes and did not react to what Chen Yongtai said, but asked him how to solve the problem of raising a little ghost.
“...... Uncle Shi, you also know that the reason why I came here with you is to unravel the spell on Xia Feiyang's body and find the spellcaster, you have been talking to me about some things, don't you take my Zhang family too seriously?"
My tone was flat, but the talisman in my hand was already in my hand.
"You, you, it's the same as Old Chen said, it's not easy to fool. ”
Chen Yongtai smiled, as if he was a little helpless.
