Chapter 217: The Road to the Heart of the Earth
He looked at the man who rushed out of the door.
Listen to the sound of the locomotive being started at the door.
Liu Xinyue narrowed her eyes thoughtfully.
Seeing Liu Xinyue's expression, Ai Xin understood that she had obviously discovered something.
So she led her teammates to the corner of the courtyard of the Lin Zegongba Monastery and kept a little distance from the red-haired woman.
Then he leaned over to Liu Xinyue and whispered, "What did you hear in that ear?" ”
In this small half a day, she has seen a lot of Liu Xinyue's abilities.
It can only be said that this is worthy of being a gifted person.
The so-called ability to listen to the sound of all things can really hear all kinds of voices that should not exist.
The sky, the earth, the air, the lakes, the mountains, even joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness.
Whether it is material existence or spiritual emotion, whether it is animals or plants, this Liu Xinyue can always hear their "voice".
"Although he only listened to it for a while, the voices of too many different emotions such as madness, piety, nervousness, shock, and confusion came from him."
"He seems to really think Shambhala exists."
Liu Xinyue whispered to the two beside her.
From the previous discussion of a man and a woman, Liu Xinyue understood that this man was an explorer who insisted on the existence of Shambhala.
Shambhala is a legend that has been passed down for thousands of years in the western region of China and even in the entire Himalayas.
Legend has it that it is the Pure Land of Bliss, a paradise, an underground civilization that has been hidden for thousands of years, and the ultimate destination that transcends life and death.
Legend has it that there is a mysterious and powerful power there, and the ultimate answer to all living beings.
However, since modern times, countless explorers, both official and non-governmental, have proved one thing with a lot of effort in this highland land: Shambhala is just a legend.
It's ethereal and ethereal.
Just like the ideal country, utopia, peach blossom paradise, and Eden, it is the expectation and fantasy of human beings for an ideal society, and the desire and yearning for a blissful place beyond life and death.
This is just a legend that entrusts longing, and it is never real.
"Vons Maynard, male, 32 years old, from Kansas, USA."
"He has been inspired to become the world's greatest explorer since he was a child, proficient in freehand climbing, wingsuit flying, empty-handed combat, downhill skiing, and has conquered the world's highest mountain, Mount Everest, several times."
"Such a person, who lacks experience, courage, knowledge, and physical strength, and has even been on the verge of real death so many times, it seems that he should not be a person who can easily become a demon."
As he spoke, Dryve pulled out a tablet out of nowhere and handed it to the two newcomers in front of him.
The tablet is recording the life information of the man who ran out just now, which is given by the intelligence system of Eternal Day.
As the third-in-command of the Lunar Scientific Research Division, he has been proficient in most modern technologies in the six months since he came to this world.
It is also quite proficient in the use of tablets.
The two girls took the tablet and looked at the various information recorded on it.
It can be seen from it that this vons Maynard is indeed an elite and once entered the talent database of Eternal Day.
In the database of Eternal Day, there is a simple psychological profile of this person.
It can be seen that this guy is not a person who will easily indulge in hallucinations and psychological breakdowns.
The several near-death crises caused by rope failure, loose spikes, and locked umbrella bags did not make it difficult for this vons Maynard to get out for a long time because of psychological problems.
However, judging from the information in the tablet, there is one point worth noting.
The vons Maynard appears to have been missing for more than three days, and the redhead went to report the incident two days ago.
However, when dealing with the aftermath of the sandstorm, the officials of PL County went to help search for Kailash Mountain for two days but could not find it.
Finally left here yesterday.
There are not many people who went missing in the sand barrier incident, and the PL County officials do not have so much manpower, and they also need to take into account other areas.
"So now it looks ......"
"An anomaly may have occurred."
Ai Xin narrowed her eyes with a hint of excitement, they were here to investigate the anomaly.
Isn't such a situation now an anomaly?
An experienced explorer suddenly disappeared in the wind and sand a few days ago. After coming back after three days, you seem to be crazy? As if he had hysteria, he emphasized that he had really seen Shambhala.
Could there be something hidden in this?
Either the explorer has experienced the great horror between life and death, and the whole person is still immersed in the hallucinations of the near death.
Or did the explorer really see the legendary Shambhala during the three days he was missing?!
Which is more likely?
Ai Xin didn't know, and she wasn't sure.
But she understands that she has seen the reality of the world, and understands that there is a powerful organization like Eternal Day hidden behind the scenes in this world.
In her judgment, there is the possibility that Shambhala is real.
So......
"How about we split up? Ask the red-haired woman and the explorer what happened in between. ”
Ai Xin offered her own proposal.
In this regard, neither Dorif nor Liu Xinyue refuted it.
I don't know the reason for the irregular failure of the Gate of the Secret Realm, and the investigation of this area by Eternal Day is also to check whatever it is.
All kinds of animals, people, strange geographical phenomena......
In short, everything that makes the members of Eternal Day feel strange and wrong can be seriously investigated.
After all, no one knows what the Gate of the Secret Realm is affected for.
"Then I'll take Liu Xinyue to catch up with that vons Maynard and ask about the situation, and you can stay here and talk to the monk and the red-haired woman here."
"You put away this axe, it can protect you at a critical moment."
"Then we got in touch right away."
As he spoke, Drif handed Akhin a miniature axe.
The axe is not big, only more than ten centimeters and looks like a hanging ornament. However, it was actually a storm axe carefully crafted by the dwarven king, and now it was only in a shrunken form.
As the patriarch of the two newcomers, Dorif is also the captain of this temporary team, so he naturally has to be responsible for the safety of the two.
Ai Xin took the axe and put it in his pocket.
Then he nodded at the two people and watched the two leave the Lin Zegongba Temple.
As for herself, she turned her head to look at the room not far away.
The red-haired woman entered the room in a huff after arguing with Vons Maynard.
After a long silence, Ai Xin came to the side of several monks standing in the courtyard.
The red-haired woman didn't look easy to approach, but the monks beside her shouldn't have a hard time talking.
After a little communication, Ai Xin probably understood some information about the two people after they came here.
The information recounted by the red-haired woman when she went to the authorities to report her disappearance was similar to the one she had recounted.
They arrived at the Limzegongpa Monastery before the wind and sand came, ready to climb Mount Kailash to explore.
As a result, when the wind and sand arrived, that vons Maynard happened to be outside exploring.
The red-haired woman and the monks couldn't get out of the temple because of the huge wind and sand.
After that, vons Maynard disappeared.
Ai Xin understands that this is normal, and she has experienced that kind of wind and sand herself.
It's probably good to be missing, but it's really desperate to meet a sand wolf in the wind and sand.
In the days that followed, the authorities searched for a while but found nothing.
In order to take into account the need for manpower in the rest of the region, the disappearance was finally left alone.
After all, I've been to all the places I can go, and normal people can't go up to the rest of the places.
Despite the fact that Mount Kailash is only 6,656 meters above sea level, it is more than 2,000 meters lower than Mount Everest, but it is still an unconquerable existence.
There are many people who have conquered Mount Everest, but there is still no one who has successfully climbed Mount Kailash.
This peak is hundreds or thousands of times more difficult than the summit of Mount Everest, because it is so smooth and steep that there are few points to climb.
Even if we discard the influence of possible religious and cultural obstacles, Kailash is still a mountain that is difficult for humans to climb.
And this red-haired woman is naturally unwilling to give up.
I was just getting ready to pack my gear and go hiking this morning.
At this time, Vons Maynard returned in dusty and ragged clothes.
At that time, vons Maynard was very strange in the description of several monks.
It can be said that he is like two people when he first came to Lin Zegongba Temple.
Compared to Vons Maynard when he first came to Linzegomba Monastery, he suddenly came back this morning without the calmness in his eyes when he first arrived.
According to the monk, after Vons Maynard returned this morning, the red-haired woman was excited to put down the equipment she was going to continue up the mountain to search.
Vons Maynard, however, was clamoring to take the red-haired woman up the mountain to the blissful land that led to the ultimate answer.
After that, that kind of quarrel broke out.
Ai Xin listened to the whole process from the monk's perspective and slowly narrowed her eyes.
As with the results of their analysis based on the data, in the eyes of the monks, it was felt that that Vons Maynard had changed a lot.
From calm to chattering and crazy.
In this case, it is likely that the spirit has been greatly stimulated.
It could be the great terror between life and death.
Or maybe he saw something somewhere that surprised him.
Maybe that thing was Shambhala, something that interfered with the Gate of the Secret Realm.
But Ai Xin still stuck to her point.
This vons Maynard has had many near-death experiences in his profile, but he still explores like a nobody.
This time, there is a high probability that it will not be a different person because of any near-death experience.
It's just that her analysis is unfounded.
Next, let's see if Dorif and Liu Xinyue find anything.
……………………………………
It won't be difficult to keep up with the vons Maynard who came out of the door.
After all, Maynard's physical and mental state is not very good, and even if he used to be an experienced explorer, he is not much better than a toddler.
Even if you drive a locomotive, you don't dare to go full speed when you are shaky.
And Dorif and Liu Xinyue naturally don't need to say much.
Dreif is the king of dwarves at the beginning of the third-level spiritual power level, even if he has water at the third-level spiritual power level, he is still a third-level spiritual power level.
Liu Xinyue relied on her extraordinary talent and was crammed to improve her physical fitness, although it was difficult to improve for a long time, but it can also be said to be a little superman.
So it didn't take long for the two of them to catch up with Maynard, who was riding away on a motorcycle.
Maynard, who drove the locomotive, only felt that he was dazzled for a while, and he went from sitting on the motorcycle to being carried by someone.
Then it was gently placed on the stone.
And on his locomotive, at the moment there is a strong man of more than two meters.
This made Maynard, who was already nervous, feel like his brain was down for a while.
What happened?
Am I not riding a motorcycle?
How did you get directly taken down?
"Whew, no wonder you're always carrying me, it's fun to carry people."
Liu Xinyue crossed her waist and got down from the stone she was standing on, and couldn't help but feel refreshed.
And Dryf also drove the locomotive for two laps, and then stopped steadily in front of the two and said, "Vons Maynard, right?" You're in trouble! ”
With that, Dreif pulled the locomotive to a steady stop and got down.
When I walked towards Vons Maynard, I didn't forget to sneak a peek at the locomotive.
Good boy! Kawasaki H2R? This must not be more than 700,000?
As a dwarf who loves to strike iron, Dorif has always loved these wild and cool mechanical artifacts since he came into contact with the technology of this world.
Although Yong Day's monthly salary can easily buy a Kawasaki H2R, this money is still not enough for him who has a collecting habit.
"I ...... What's wrong? ”
Maynard was a little confused.
Looking at the combination of a man and a woman he had seen in Lin Zegongba Temple in front of him, he really didn't know what to say.
He was tempted to ask how these two men caught up without driving?
But looking at the empty and barren scene around him, he still swallowed back such doubts.
The nervousness made him shiver a little.
It was really miserable for a few days of disappearance, and he survived the three-day coma by relying on the nutrient solution, and then he only replenished a little nutrient solution after running back to Lin Zegongba Temple, and his body was still very weak.
So in the face of such a sudden situation, it is normal for him to feel trembling.
It's definitely not that I'm afraid of being thrown into the wilderness.
Maynard thought so.
"Tell me about Shambhala."
Dryve smiled and asked straight to the point.
Such a straightforward question.
It made Maynard subconsciously recall everything he had experienced before.
His eyes suddenly became a little frightened and a little reverent.
And Liu Xinyue also stood aside, quietly strengthening the use of power to listen to the voice of all things.
"Voices" began to come from the man in front of him.
She heard tiredness, hunger, thirst, soreness......
I also heard nervousness, fear, and confusion......
and piety, fear, shock, yearning......
Under the interweaving of countless complex emotions.
She continues to perceive deeply.
An even more incomprehensible voice was heard.
It was definitely not from the man's voice, but from something that the man had come into contact with.
[In the space of reincarnation, there is a balance between the indescribable weight and the unbearable lightness. 】
[Gaining and losing, sadness is joy, and a dynamic of life occurs. 】
Liu Xinyue tried to use her ability to listen to the voice of all things, skipping the incomprehensible voice.
And after skipping this "voice".
She faintly traced back to the source and saw a picture:
It is a deep, seemingly endless path to the center of the earth. 】
[I don't know how long I have been going, but I found an unremarkable wooden portal at the end of the road.] 】
[There is a dying old man sitting quietly by a portal. 】
Just a glance at the old man.
There are countless "voices" whistling.
In the midst of this, Liu Xinyue faintly heard something, but it was as if she hadn't heard anything.
The next moment, the old man's eyes suddenly opened and Liu Xinyue's thoughts of continuing to listen.
Her ability to hear the voice of all things was cut off.
