What we say is definitely not an unwarranted connection. Some of the things described in their legends and the materials given to us during this training show that some of the legends of the Heavenly Tribe may be true.
It is said that the earliest birthplace of the Heavenly Tribe was very close to the location where the treasure was hidden.
As for how the leader got into that place? No one knows now.
Maybe we can solve this mystery when we find the treasure.
…
After we entered the mountain, the route ahead was the same as the route Professor Luo and we took last time to the Haunted Valley.
This section of the road was basically worthless, and we soon reached the two bifurcated rivers at the foot of the big mountain.
According to my inference, the two directions of east and west correspond to opposite yin and yang, one is good and the other is bad.
The east end is the ghost town, and the west end is the treasure cave.
But yin and yang are interdependent and unpredictable!
There is life in the ghost town.
Back then, we eliminated the fierce ghosts and zombies, destroyed the formation, and caused the valley to collapse.
I estimate that after ten or eight years, it will become a normal mountainous area and there will no longer be any danger for anyone passing through.
The so-called treasure hiding place corresponding to it on the other end seems to be auspicious place, but it also contains danger.
There will definitely be some gold and silver jewelry used as bait in the treasure cave. These are just to cover up more traps and mechanisms. Grandpa and Wang Banxian almost died in it back then.
If it weren't for the minerals that the country needs there, and if it wasn't somehow related to the cause of my grandfather's death, I would rather wait ten or eight more years and pass in the direction where the ghost town in the east disappeared, rather than take such a risk again.
These inferences cannot be told to other people. They are all college students and have received atheist education. I can't put these on the stage yet, so I just told Professor Lan the truth in the company of Lan Yue.
Professor Lan didn't have much reaction after hearing this. He didn't think I was alarmist. On the contrary, he believed me.
But our current situation is that no matter what difficulties we face, our route this time will not change.
Besides, this line of business is full of dangers, don’t tell me it’s a fake treasure?
Even real ancient tombs, real treasures, and even formal prospecting and archeology are still dangerous.
Professor Lan was very open-minded about this kind of thing and patted me on the shoulder: "Xiao Dao, I know you mean well, but there are some things that we can't do anything about except facing them correctly.
"Recruiting you into the archaeological team is to use your medical skills and Feng Shui knowledge to help us avoid some troubles in advance.
"I already know about this, so you don't need to announce it to the team, so as not to cause unnecessary tension."
I was very touched by Professor Lan’s fearless spirit in his career!
I secretly made up my mind to do my best this time to help the archaeological team complete their mission.
…
At this time, we have truly entered the no man's land in the mountains.
Everyone was in high spirits these two days.
Primeval forests, deserts, and deep seas are known as the three most mysterious areas on earth.
These three places have endless charm and various legends, which are both mysterious and dangerous. They are as intoxicating as a glass of mellow wine, and may also lead to death.
This is the first time that all members of the archaeological team, including Lan Jianguo and Professor Xu, two experts who often participate in archaeological expeditions, have entered such a deep area of the virgin forest.
Whether it’s the ancient trees that block out the sky, the crystal clear forest streams, or the red sunset in the mountains...
Any picture taken at random is beautiful.
Ellie carried a personal camera in her hand and exclaimed every time she walked. In addition to my God, my God... and occasionally a sentence in English.
In just three or two days, this foreign girl used two full rolls of film.
Going further, various precious tree species and rare animals appear one after another, and there are more and more streams and rivers around you.
At first I could still find some grass to walk on, but later there were no roads left at all.
Sun Cheng took us to make two rafts and paddled along a relatively spacious river.
I kept matching the map in my mind.
Cheng Yunying's diary is missing a lot. He did not describe how he got to the valley where he met the monster.
But Grandpa Wang once told us that he and Grandpa were swept into the valley by a river, and then found the fake treasure cave.
Judging from this, the area below us now should be where Grandpa and the others have been, but we don’t know which stream washed them into the valley.
What exactly was the monster that Cheng Yunying and the others encountered?
There was also a sudden landslide, and a vague light and shadow that looked like a dragon...
Countless mysteries are swirling around in my mind.
In the past twenty-four years, Grandpa and Cheng Yunying had found the right direction, and they were both stopped in the valley of the fake treasure.
And the endings of these people were not very good.
Wang Banxian and his wife lost half their lives. Brother Cheng Yunying, one died on the spot and the other died in the mountains for no apparent reason.
Only grandpa was lucky and lived for a few more decades, but before he died, he was grief-stricken and shouted curses and other words...
What's going on?
Is there really a curse in that valley, and everyone who goes in will have bad consequences?
My mood became very depressed.
I have a hunch that this archaeological trip is likely to be the most serious challenge and the most dangerous operation in my life.
The other members of the archaeological team were still very relaxed. The backpacks of several assistants were filled with various precious species and some special soil samples were also found.
By testing the surrounding water samples and soil, Professor Yu also deduced the good news. As long as you follow the river, you will find at least one gold mine.
After another two days of this, the surrounding river slowly narrowed, and more grassland appeared nearby, leaving only the relatively wide river at our feet.
We jumped ashore and walked further along the shore. A large, continuous, tall and lush forest appeared in front of us.
This forest is so big that you can't even see the end of it at a glance. The mountains in the distance seem to be beyond the horizon.
"If we walk a little further, we will reach an area filled with dense miasma. Please be careful!"
Lan Jianguo looked through the binoculars and said to us with a heavy face.
The team members also put away their smiles, checked their equipment, encouraged each other, and walked into the lush forest.
The temperature gets higher as you go further, and the trees in the primeval forest are completely different from what you usually see in the mountains. People who have not experienced it cannot imagine it.
Most of the trees are more than ten or even twenty meters high, with lush leaves and dense grass and vines inside.
When you walk in, the sun is shining brightly outside, but inside the light can only shine through the mottled leaves. In some places, you even have to light a headlamp or flashlight.
We no longer felt as relaxed as before, and we all kept wiping the sweat from our foreheads.
Sun Cheng and Liu Han were in front, waving machetes to clear the way. I gave each teammate a refreshing pill in his mouth, and sprinkled some insect repellent on his body.
The surrounding temperature has reached 17 or 18 degrees.
After walking forward for more than twenty minutes, there was a break in the forest.
When we got out, we all felt the sun was a little dazzling, and the leaders Sun Cheng and Liu Han stopped.
The surrounding silence was eerie, except for the sound of the flowing river not far away.
Looking ahead is a lush grassland that extends for more than a thousand meters. At the end of the grassland is a lusher forest.
When we saw that forest, no one could believe their eyes. The shock at this time was far greater than the time I went to the Ghost Valley.
