Chapter 1 Three Flowers Gather at the Top
On the third day, Zhao Mingding boarded the plane to France, and Amy could only hand it over to Zeng Xiaorou and the others.
For the sake of fairness, Zhao Mingding also gave Amy a house and asked her to choose a place by herself, and she chose Tianhe District. Naturally, the decoration and everything is unified.
The headquarters of Interpol is in Lyon, France, so Zhao Mingding flew directly from Hong Kong to Saint-Tuple's International Airport in Lyon.
Getting off the plane at Saint-Tuple's International Airport in Lyon, André Dusorière was already waiting outside the airport, driven by Matthew Cassowitz, the perpetrator of the incident in Pattaya last time.
"Hello, Barton, long time no see, how are you?" The two were very happy to see Zhao Mingding and shook hands with each other.
"You know what? Everybody misses you so much. Andre laughed, "Let's be honest, I miss your wine." “
"Oh?" When Zhao Mingding heard this, he smiled and said, "Do you still want to drink with me tonight?" ”
"Then for sure, when we meet at night, how can we not drink?" Andre smiled, "But it's okay, I'll treat you tonight." ”
"That's good!" Zhao Mingding said with a smile, "When the time comes, I will pick expensive ones to eat, see if your heart hurts?" ”
"Money doesn't matter, it's your friend that matters." Andre sighed, "Last time in Pattaya, if you hadn't sacrificed your life to save me, I might have died a long time ago." ”
"Let's go, let's talk as we go." Andre waved his head and led the way towards the parking lot.
"Haha, please wait, there's an old friend here." Zhao Mingding looked at his watch, "There are still ten minutes, and George should come out." “
"George Brown, your American friend?"
"Yes, that's right, it's him."
"Haha, are you talking about me?" A voice rang out in the distance.
Hearing this, the three turned their heads and saw George Brown dragging his suitcase out of the exit.
"Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive." Zhao Mingding smiled and shook George's hand that was stretched out from afar.
George shook hands with Andre and Matthew again, and then walked with them to the parking lot.
"Barton, when are you going to go to Mount Lapis to see that cave?" Andrei asked.
"Stay here for one night today, and leave early tomorrow morning, do you think that's okay?" Zhao Mingding turned his head and asked George, "George, if it happens tomorrow, will you go to the Alps with me?" ”
"You're going to see the new United Nations badge you said again, right?"
"Yes!"
"Of course I'm going to stay with you." George laughed.
"You can go as long as you want." Andre patted his chest, "On my ground, everything is arranged for you, and you are satisfied." ”
"By the way," Andre suddenly smiled mysteriously, "do you two want to see our chief?" ”
"I'd like to see you." George laughed, "The more friends, the better." ”
"Okay, then I'll introduce them to you when we get back from the Alps." Andre said, turning to Zhao Mingding, "Then according to your requirements, we will set off early tomorrow morning." ”
At that time, the place where it collapsed was the Radisson Blu Blu Hotel, which sent George and Zhao Mingding to the hotel, and after agreeing on the time and place of drinking that night, the two drove away.
That night, the people who had drunk with Zhao Mingding and George in Pattaya last time came, and because of the fear of the last drink, everyone was very restrained at first, but as the atmosphere continued to rise, everyone finally let go of the amount of alcohol until they got drunk.
Zhao Mingding has never been drunk, so he woke up early the next morning and waited for Andre's arrival.
The Alps are located in the south of Europe, from the southeast of France in the west, through northern Italy, southern Switzerland, Liechtenstein, southern Germany, east to Austria and Slovenia, mainly distributed in Switzerland and Austria, extending in an arc from east to west, with a straight line length of about 1200 kilometers and a width of 130~260 kilometers. The total area is about 207,000 square kilometers.
The Alps are divided into three sections: western, central, and eastern.
The Western Alps are the narrowest and most concentrated mountain ranges, with the highest peak, Mont Blanc (4,810 m), on the Franco-Italian border.
The Middle Alps, between the Great St. Bernard Pass and Lake Constance, are the widest.
The Eastern Alps have a relatively low altitude. The main trunk of the mountain range extends to the southwest to the Pyrenees, to the south to the Apennines, to the southeast to the Dinara Mountains, and to the east to the Carpathians.
The cave is on Mont Blanc, the highest peak in the Alps.
André arrived as scheduled, driving again with Matthew Kasowitz and Roland Barthes, the man who discovered the cave. “
The four of them chatted for a while, only to see George come out sleepy-eyed. Last night, he drank too much and got drunk.
The Alps are 140 kilometers east of the city of Lyon, 140 kilometers by car.
Due to the road, the journey took more than an hour. However, to get to Mont Blanc, you have to climb the mountain. And climbing is a chore.
However, everyone is a trained soldier, and climbing a mountain is a trivial matter.
Following Roland Barthes's instructions, the car drove to a place where it could no longer drive, and then stopped.
André instructed everyone to put on their climbing clothes and shoes, put on hats and protective gear, and then followed Roland Barthes to the summit of Mont Blanc.
The small villages in the Alpine mountains are almost entirely isolated countryside surrounded by high mountains. Occasionally, you can meet some villagers standing on the side of the road and looking at them curiously. In such a place, it takes a lot of effort and effort to live a prosperous life.
The cave, fortunately, was only halfway up Mont Blanc, but even so, everyone was so tired and out of breath that they walked for a long time to arrive.
Mont Blanc, the highest peak in the Alps, is located at the junction of Haute-Savoie in France and Valle d'Aosta in Italy, with an altitude of 4,810 meters, and is the highest peak in Western Europe.
Mont Blanc attracts a large number of tourists every year for skiing and mountaineering.
Two of the most famous towns near Mont Blanc are Courmayeur in Valle d'Aosta, Italy, and Chamonix in Haute-Savoie, in the Rhône-Alpes region of France, which also hosted the first Winter Olympic Games.
Visitors can take the cable car up the mountain, which takes you past Courmayeur and Chamonix.
Roland Barthes was able to discover the cave only by chance during his last mission to Mont Blanc and climb with his target.
At that time, the target pursued by Roland Barthes panicked, climbed all the way up the mountain, found the cave, and hid in it, but in the end, Roland Barthes pulled it out, solved it, and destroyed the abyss.
Afterwards, Roland Barthes conducted a careful search in the cave, and found nothing but the pattern, so he was deeply impressed, and when he saw the picture shown by Andre, he immediately thought of this incident and the cave and the pattern in it.
Zhao Mingding heard him say this, so he opened his perspective eye, only to find that the bone in the middle of his forehead really also had the pattern of the new United Nations badge.
It seems that the pattern of the new United Nations coat of arms carved in the cave has a mystical power to reproduce it to the bone in the middle of the forehead of the person who sees it.
Zhao Mingding guessed that perhaps, that mysterious power was the light he had absorbed.
Everything that follows is basically a process.
Zhao Mingding asked Roland Bart to go into the cave to make sure that the pattern was still there, and then come out to tell himself.
After Roland Barthes entered the cave to confirm that the pattern was still there, he came out to tell Zhao Mingding that the pattern was still there, and at this time, the pattern on his forehead bone disappeared.
So, Zhao Mingding went into the cave.
The situation in the cave is very similar to the two caves that Egypt and Song Debiao took to see, from the entrance of the cave to the location of the pattern, about 30 meters.
The stone wall at the carved pattern is relatively smooth, as if polished, and is about two meters above the ground. Next to the medallion, there is also an old-fashioned key, and the size is exactly the same as in Egypt and the cave of Song Debiao.
Zhao Mingding walked to the pattern, looked at it, and felt that his eyes lit up, and the new joint badge pattern and the old-fashioned key pattern actually emitted millimeters that could not be seen by the naked eye. The light grew brighter and brighter, as if attractive, attracting each other, and finally became one, like dew on a lotus leaf, becoming crystal clear.
The light of the dew drops became brighter and brighter, more and more dazzling, and finally flew towards Zhao Mingding's forehead, at this critical juncture, I saw a small dragon head poking out of Zhao Mingding's Yintang acupoint, a mouth, and spit out a small fire bead, the fire bead rose in the wind, flew towards the dewdrop, wrapped it, and then returned to the mouth of the little dragon, the little dragon held the fire bead, shrunk his body, and retracted back into Zhao Mingding's body. That dew drop was also swallowed by the Heavenly Beast Imperial Venerable who turned into a fire bead in the mouth of the little dragon.
However, this time, the small flame bead became a little larger than the previous two times, almost the size of an egg, and the color of the little dragon's body was one step closer to substance.
A cool breath spread throughout Zhao Mingding's whole body in an instant, like drinking a glass of ice water after standing under the hot sun for half a day on dog days, and it was extremely comfortable.
At the moment when the dew was enveloped in the fire, the pattern on the stone wall dissolved at a speed visible to the naked eye, like chalk writing on the blackboard, which was erased by an invisible hand.
On the stone wall, where the pattern was originally carved, immediately became clean and empty.
This mysterious light, Zhao Mingding is already a kind of mysterious energy, it has great benefits for the Heavenly Beast Imperial Venerable, the Little Red Dragon, and himself, especially the Heavenly Beast Imperial Venerable and the Little Dragon are even more beneficial, and they are almost about to become one with him.
Zhao Mingding was immersed in joy, and suddenly felt that the little dragon in the dantian traveled around the meridians of his body nine hundred and eighty-one times in an instant, and then, he opened his mouth and spit out, and spit out an egg-sized fire bead from his mouth, and three silver rays suddenly shot out from this fire bead, straight to his top door acupoint, joint, the whole cave was bright, bright as day, within three breaths, the light was extinguished, and everything returned to normal.
Faced with this kind of disappearance, Zhao Mingding suddenly remembered a word: three flowers gather at the top.
