57. The exact location of the Otherworldly Gate
When the two of them came close enough to her, Gu Yuexi's heart trembled suddenly, because the two people in front of her, one was her father Gu Shaotang, and the other was Gu Grano, who had some connection with her father.
After a closer look, she instantly understood that this place was the Rose Mountain Villa in the northern suburbs of Gangtok, the capital of Zhe Mengxiong, after all, she remembered the general layout of the mountain villa, as well as some special scenery around the villa.
In this way, the scene at this time should be the first meeting between my father and Gugrano, that is, one day at the end of December 1979.
However, there is also an inexplicable point, that is, in Gangtok, in December, the temperature tends to drop below 0 degrees Celsius, so it is impossible for the flowers in the mountain village to bloom at this time.
"Did Gugrano lie to me? Or is there something inexplicable about this illusion? Gu Yuexi whispered while trying to walk briskly towards the two, thinking about revealing the truth as soon as possible.
Strangely, this time, the scene in front of her did not change, and she was able to carefully observe the conversation and behavior of the two and the wind and grass around them.

"Mr. Gugrano, the hill in front of me, called Mount Murga, is said to have begun the reign of the Namgar dynasty on February 24, 1642, when Pongchug, the head of the Bodhiya tribal confederation, held a citizens' assembly and proclaimed himself King of Tsemengchon at the meeting." Her father glanced at the sun setting in the west, then explained slowly.
"I see, but in the limited world of our Zen people, he is a devil from the snowy mountains, not a king of great talent as you say." Gugrano was silent for a moment, then spoke his true thoughts.
"It is true that man is a combination of good and evil, and even though Ponchug invaded the western part of Assam with his army, he also allowed the Rebcha people to free themselves from the combined rule of the Gurkha and Bodhians and establish their own state." Father nodded, with a serious expression.
"Mr. Gu, what kind of relationship do you have with Emperor Zhe Mengxiong, some people say that you are friends with him, but some people question this, thinking that you and him are just a cooperative relationship." Gugrano stopped at the top of the hill and looked at the cascading peaks bathed in the glow at the end of his sight, asking him a little puzzled.
"To each according to his needs, as I and you do." The father nodded slightly, and replied quite naturally, but the calm on his face quickly faded and was replaced by a look of pain.
"Mr. Gu, what's wrong? What's uncomfortable? Seeing this, Gugrano hurriedly grabbed his arm, supported him, and sat down on a chair beside him.
"Don't get in the way, when I was traveling far away a few days ago, I was accidentally bitten by a mad dog." The father smiled slightly awkwardly, and then explained lightly.
"Oh, I see." Gugrano saw him frowning and rubbing his legs, knowing that he could not afford to lose time, and planned to end the meaningless conversation and close the deal as soon as possible.
"The location of the Otherworldly Gate, how accurate is geometry?" Seeing that he hastily took out a thick, yellowed piece of brown paper from the backpack he was carrying, his father asked curiously.
"Seventy-eight out of ten, its location was finally determined by me based on the descriptions of dozens of villagers nearby, although I dare not guarantee 100 percent, but the general location can still be determined." Gugrano unfolded the vellum paper and placed it on the stone table in front of his father.
"Well, yes, you go to 15 Rabad Street early tomorrow and find a guy named Neverovsky and get paid." My father briefly checked the information on the sketch, then folded the brown paper neatly and put it away.
"Mr. Gu is really cautious." Gugrano said casually, then turned around and said goodbye to him.
"Remember, the way you came." Seeing him disappear from sight, my father stood up coldly, said such a nonsensical remark, and then lowered his head and fell into endless contemplation.

As the night wore on, my father and everything around him began to become illusory, followed by a slightly old room and a group of black dwarfs armed with swords.
Seeing this, her heart instantly rose to her throat, and at the same time, instinctively retreated, trying to avoid this group of unknown dwarfs.
But what she never expected was that at this moment, she was actually tied up by these little guys!
In a short time, a burly gray creature appeared out of thin air in the middle of the group of dwarfs, it looked very much like a gray wolf at first glance, but it was standing and walking, and on the bridge of its nose, there was a rather sharp eye as big as a brass bell.
"Order, kill this traitor who is passive and slacking off and eating inside and out." The next moment, the gray wolf actually spoke, and stared at her with those three sharp eyes.
"Yes." Immediately receiving the order, all of her men drew their long and short swords and slashed at her neck.
Seeing this, her forehead was covered with beads of sweat for a moment, and her hands and feet trembled, but because the rope tied to her body was a little loose, she broke free of the rope before the opponent's sword touched her body.
......In her haste, she managed to dodge the attacks of the four dwarfs beside her, but unfortunately, she didn't notice the two "pocket" throwing knives flying from behind her and was stabbed in the shoulder.
Looking at the red blood stains on her palms, she had to run to the darker place, and at the same time she kept her eyes open to see if there was a passage around her to leave here.
Luckily, in a slightly cramped room at the end of the hallway, she saw a dark hole and a dilapidated wooden ladder.
"There is salvation." Holding on to the rough ladder, she gripped the rough ladder tightly and crawled quickly towards the entrance to the cave.
But at this moment, behind her, there was a sudden burst of fierce and rather chaotic gunfire.
Subconsciously turning her head, she saw several familiar figures smashing open a broken window and launching a surprise attack on the unprepared dwarf.
"Mr. Li? Araujo? Far? She couldn't believe it for a moment that they had come to her side at this juncture.
"Girl, are you alright?" Wang Wenyuan accurately killed several dwarfs who surrounded him, and then leaned down, looking at her haggard face and shocking scars with some distress.
"It's okay, you're not ......" She wanted to ask about the wound on his back, but she saw a fierce guy standing behind Wang Wenyuan impartially.
"Wenyuan, be careful." Without hesitation, Gu Yuexi raised her foot and kicked the gray wolf's stomach fiercely, forcing it to take three steps back, buying him precious time to turn around and shoot.
The next second, he held his breath, turned nimbly, and pulled the trigger when he met its slightly frightened eyes.
"We're working well together." She couldn't help but smile, and then sat down on the ground, as if she had exhausted all the strength in her body.
Wang Wenyuan, on the other hand, stood there in a daze, with a hint of strange emotion flashing in his eyes inexplicably.
