Chapter 587: Incredible Luck
Guo Caiying gave an order, and the exploration team restarted their trip and disappeared into the dark dense forest facing the rising sun.
After entering the jungle, the others began to nap groggily on the back of the bumpy dragon lizard, but Zhang Lisheng raised his opinion noisily, "Miss Guo, I always feel that we are moving forward so blindly, and the efficiency is too low.
Aren't those superpowers you led looking for some secret realm in all sorts of strange ways, maybe we should wait for them to find out before we act..."
As he spoke, the young man's fingers wrote on the back of Guo Caiying's hanging hand: "It seems that those Taoist priests, monks, and mullahs may really be able to help me, thank you so much for coming up with such a good idea, senior sister." β
"Dr. Fu, why do you have so many opinions, didn't I sue you last night, since you have joined the exploration team organized by the official Huaguo, you must abide by the discipline of the official expedition team of the Chinese country.
And we have only one discipline, and that is to obey the orders of our superiors. Guo Caiying pretended to be impatient and interrupted Zhang Lisheng's words on the surface, but secretly wrote in the palm of her lover's hand: "Haha, I'm very smart, but the most important thing is to help you." β
"Oh, Dear Miss Team Leader, your words remind me of the motto of the West Point Military Academy..."For Guo Caiying's slightly naΓ―ve message, Zhang Lisheng shrugged his shoulders with a secret smile in his heart, and was interrupted again before he finished speaking, "Guo Si, my Sinan seems to have reacted!"
"Reaction, what reaction?" Immersed in the message game with her lover for a while, her brain didn't react, Guo Caiying unconsciously looked up at Duan Lianbao, who was flying in the air with a stunned face, and asked.
"Guo Si. I, Si Nan, seem to have found traces of a secret realm. After settling down, Duan Lianbao returned to his calm appearance, turned Si Nan in his hand, summoned a bright projection with a radius of more than ten meters, and pointed to a stone needle that shot out the thickness of a thumb and loomed with smoke.
"Is this so fast?" If it weren't for the fact that although the Taoist True Disciple in front of him was young, his personality was very young and old, Guo Caiying would definitely feel that he was joking with himself, but at this time, he was taken aback.
"It's true. Duan Lianbao replied categorically.
Hear this answer. Guo Caiying's expression was stern. He said to the Buddhist true lineage leader who was standing on a vajra not far away, "Director Li, can you please verify Director Duan's findings?"
"Yes, Guo Si. The big-eared Buddha really came back to his senses, and his face was full of incredible doubts. The mudra changed a few times. After a few seconds, I saw a light head. The armor-clad Protector Divine Statue flashed from the dense forest and rushed into his eyebrows.
The pupils flashed rapidly with phantoms such as the vast jungle, fierce beasts and monsters, blue sky and red sun, and finally froze on a flickering door of light suspended on the surface of the moist bark of a hundred-meter giant tree rooted in a clear water source. The true legend of Buddhism folded his hands and said: "Guo Si, Director Duan's discovery is not false at all.
The Gate of the Secret Realm was perched on a large tree by a waterhole about fifty-three kilometers to the northwest. β
"No wonder there is a proverb that says, 'History is made of coincidences.'" A hint of joy appeared on Guo Caiying's face, turned her head to look at Zhang Lisheng's meaningful smile, and said: "It's really incredible luck to have a harvest just by casting the net, do you say yes, Dr. Fu." β
"That's true, Miss Guo, that's true," Zhang Lisheng forced the shock and joy in his heart, shrugged his shoulders and replied, "Let's hurry up and see if the harvest is the same as I imagined." β
Liu Yiteng, who was next to him, listened to the tone and content of the 'foreign aid' not far away, and frowned inexplicably and retorted: "Dr. Fu, Director Guo said that he was lucky, but he was just humble, but this is actually an open mind..."
"Okay, Liu, don't say polite words, let's go immediately. Seeing the excitement and anxiety hidden on Zhang Lisheng's seemingly plain face, Guo Caiying took a deep breath of empathy, interrupted the words of her subordinates, and commanded the entire team to follow the path guided by Sinan in Duan Lianbao's hand and turned forward.
The jungle twists and turns, although according to the secret method of the true legend of Buddhism, the distance of the secret realm is only more than 50 kilometers in a straight line, but after actually bypassing a swamp, it is difficult to cross a turbulent river, and after two hours, the Huaguo expedition team finally came to the giant tree inlaid with the light gate.
If it weren't for the fact that he had to rely on the magic weapons and secret techniques of Taoist priests and monks to find the exact location of the secret realm, and he acted rashly for fear that Guo Caiying would not be able to explain, Zhang Lisheng would have been impatient with this long journey that was just a blink of an eye for him, and when he saw the gate of the secret realm, he could no longer hold back the eagerness in his heart, and jumped off the woodland before the dragon lizard could stop.
Slowly approaching with wide eyes, the young man saw that on the other side of the gate of light was an island with jagged boulders, rippling rivers and quaint wooden houses.
There are not many strange things about the stones and rivers on the island, but the wooden houses with square pedestals, pointed roofs, and wooden houses carved with countless lifelike strange beasts and birds on the eaves of the long and hundreds of meters have a solemn beauty that shocks the soul and makes people subconsciously want to kneel down and worship.
There is a vague secret realm behind the induction light gate is likely to be Tiantai Mountain, and the things he wants are in the huge wooden house, Zhang Lisheng's face showed a color of ecstasy, and he muttered in a distracted voice: "It's transferred, it's really transferred, even this kind of 'small chance' thing that is smaller than the probability of ten elastic balls in Lianzhong can be touched by me, it's incredible." β
"Dr. Fu, are you also very interested in this secret realm?" Seeing that the wooden house behind the light gate was also photographed, Guo Caiying, who was in a trance, suddenly broke into Zhang Lisheng, who was strolling and stepping on the thick rhizome of the giant tree protruding from the ground, immediately sobered up, jumped off the dragon lizard, and ran to the young man's side to raise his voice.
"Yes, although the emergence of another world has broken countless scientific conventions, it is still unimaginable to see this kind of miniature world prototype with your own eyes.
The contents of this gate of light piqued my curiosity, and they apparently attracted the attention of a naturalist more than the Amazon jungle. Zhang Lisheng came back to his senses, took a deep breath of sober air, and said: "I must go in and study these rocks and trees carefully to see if I can find the corresponding reference on the earth." β
"Well, actually, I'm curious, so let's go in and have a look. Guo Caiying took the opportunity to nod and say, but just as she was about to take a step, Duan Lianbao had already fallen from the sky and blocked in front of her, "Guo Si, this secret realm gate is too strange, you can't go in and take risks." β
"Strange," Guo Caiying was stunned, "Director Duan, what do you mean by this?"
"Guo Si, you also know that no matter how long civilization has been passed down, no matter how mutations there are, there will always be traces to follow," Duan Lianbao replied thoughtfully: "And the wooden house in this secret realm feels like it has nothing to do with the natives of the Amazon jungle at a glance, but it is like, like my ancient Chinese creation, this is really inexplicable, if you rush in and have an accident, we can't afford to take responsibility." β
Guo Caiying opened her mouth and was speechless for a while, and suddenly heard Zhang Lisheng next to her say: "Oh, Mr. Director, maybe you neglected the study of geography because of practicing superpowers.
In ancient times, the five existing continents on Earth were cemented together and were called 'primitive lands', and it was only later that geological movements led to their split.
In other words, in ancient times, if our ancestors were strong enough to hunt and gather, it was entirely possible for them to have branches to survive in the Amazon region, not to mention how could the people who lived in this so-called 'secret realm' be ordinary. β
"Dr. Fu, I'm not having an academic discussion, but to prevent Director Guo from taking risks," Duan Lianbao frowned secretly, and for the first time he seriously looked at the explorer's 'foreign aid', and suddenly felt that the more he looked at it, the more a nameless anger rose from the bottom of his heart, and he couldn't help but say sharply: "As the person in charge of security work of the exploration team, this is my duty. β
"Oh, I'm sorry Mr. Director, I respect a professional who earnestly fulfills his responsibilities," Seeing that the Taoist priest who had dealt with him several times in front of him showed a very stubborn expression, thinking about Guo Caiying's special identity, Zhang Lisheng shrugged his shoulders and said: "Although you don't let Ms. Guo in, but I..."
"As an expatriate hired expert for the exploration team, your safety is also the responsibility of our security personnel, but the job you have to do is to explore and research, so you can go in, but with other researchers. Although Duan Lianbao had inexplicable anger in his heart, he still said with a blank look.
"But Mr. Commissioner, my employer is not you. Zhang Lisheng pursed his lips, turned his head to look at Guo Caiying beside him and said, "Miss Guo, the opportunity to prove my worth has come, now you only need to nod your head, and you can know that the two ounces of gold are not in vain." β
"Dr. Fu, I was too impulsive just now, Duan is right, it may be very dangerous after entering the light gate, it is best to be properly prepared..."Guo Caiying replied with a deliberate smile.
"You graduated from 'Stanford', I am a Ph.D. in natural resources from Pennsylvania State University, although we are young, we both have basic rational judgment, and we all know that it is impossible to be properly prepared to enter this so-called 'secret realm'.
But just like the Amsterton moon landing, even if you know that the chance of dying in space is more than half of the time, someone has to do it, because there will always be a warrior who takes a small step for the whole of humanity, and this is the 'scientific spirit'.
Even if the word 'science' has now been turned into a joke by the gentlemen and ladies around you who fly in the air in defiance of Newton's laws of gravitation, there are still people who believe in it. Zhang Lisheng said solemnly.
"Well, Dr. Fu, although your scientific spirit is Don Quixote, I have decided to respect it. After being silent for a while, Guo Caiying's expression became stern again, looked around, and shouted to the Chinese scientists in the exploration team: "Are any of the experts in our group willing to enter the 'secret realm' in the first batch with Dr. Fu?" (to be continued......)
