According to what Hong Gang's ancestors said, the Kingdom of Heaven is in the deep mountains and old forests of the northeast, and that direction seems to be not much different from the route we are traveling.
Moreover, the handwriting left by his ancestors not only pointed out the specific location of the Kingdom of Heaven, but also had even more outrageous records that upgraded the Kingdom of Heaven to Heaven.
This part of the record has a somewhat mysterious color. It is said that the Kingdom of Heaven is hidden in a mysterious place. The road leading there is full of dangers, and you have to go through various tests along the way.
At the final hurdle, he has to pass the test of two evil dragons.
Legend has it that the two evil dragons are the patron saints of heaven. They live in a cave, and that cave is the only way to heaven.
There you have to accept the test of the evil dragon. Only those with firm beliefs and pure minds will pass the test.
After completing the final test, you can step on the passage to the Kingdom of Heaven. That passage is in the cave. Those who pass the test will kneel down and pray devoutly, and they will be called by the Kingdom of Heaven.
The kingdom of heaven is the earthly stronghold corresponding to heaven, and its mission is to guide believers to ascend to heaven.
This kind of rumor is just nonsense. There are dragons, heaven, and ascension?
This is a combination of Chinese and foreign fantasy novels.
Every time Hong Gang mentioned this, no one believed it, only he believed it, and he said shamelessly: He is a person with a pure heart and firm beliefs.
As long as we find the cave where the evil dragon is waiting, he will fly to heaven. At that time, he will not forget to help us.
Who would believe this delusion?
The person who is most opposed to this statement is Ellie.
In Ellie’s words: “You are a typical misappropriator of our Western theological property rights. Heaven is a Christian term, where God and angels live.
“What Amitabha, the Western Paradise, do you believe in!
"If you want to ascend, find a few bald guys like you to hang out with. Don't drag us along."
Today, Hong Gang took advantage of my enthusiasm for telling stories and told him about the kingdom of heaven, evil dragons, and ascension, but he was scolded by everyone.
This attack made Hong Gang doubtful about his life. He quickly drank two sips of white wine to calm down his shock, and then went back to the tent to sleep drunkenly.
With the leader in charge, others one after another also went back.
When I returned to the tent, I kept thinking about what Hong Gang said. Others may not believe it, but when Hong Gang told me about it for the first time, I had a feeling that these things were not necessarily made up by his ancestors. , is likely to have some factual basis.
Before we came here, we discussed it with Aunt Gu. Aunt Gu originally didn’t believe in the legends of the Kingdom of Heaven, and now she still thinks they are all false.
But through this period of research, she and I both came to another conclusion. Could it be that some people have seen the Qing Dynasty treasures and visited the Demon Temple, mistaking it for a paradise filled with gold?
If so, many doubts can be solved.
The cave guarded by the evil dragon that Hong Gang mentioned may be the entrance to the fake treasure cave that Grandpa and the others visited, or it may be the monster valley that Brother Cheng Yunying visited. Doesn't Cheng Yunying's diary show that he saw a dragon? ?
But where do dragons come from in this world?
The transformation of the earth into a dragon is nothing more than borrowing the name of a mythical beast. In fact, it is a mutation produced by a snake, which is completely different from the legendary dragon.
And the curse that grandpa mentioned? Are they going to the same place?
There are some things I still can't figure out.
With more and more questions, one can only hope that this time the archaeological team will find the right place.
…
In the next two days, we kept walking in this mysterious forest. After a few days of freshness, everyone got tired of the endless forest.
This sameness of scenery makes everyone tired and lonely.
Only then did we realize the hardships of archaeological exploration. No wonder many people have desert phobia, deep sea phobia, and wilderness phobia.
The feeling of being far away from the world is really terrifying. A team of more than a dozen people seems to have been abandoned by the world, walking alone in the end of the world.
Now Liu Han is a guide in name only. He has advanced instruments for identifying directions, communication equipment that can send signals to the headquarters, plus a large amount of military compressed food...
Liu Han felt that he was slowly being eliminated by the rapidly developing society, and he became more of a wilderness survival instructor.
We walked over and over again, and on the seventh day, we found that the various instruments in our hands gradually failed, the various pointers kept rotating, and the signals were chaotic.
Sun Cheng and I realized something was wrong and hurriedly asked Professor Lan to stop everyone.
"Don't be afraid, this may be a geological problem, or it may be caused by the underground magnetic field."
Professor Xu behaved very calmly.
He wiped his myopia lenses, opened his eyes and looked around carefully, took some soil from the ground, and took out his small instrument to test it.
After more than ten minutes, Professor Xu came to the conclusion that there was indeed something wrong with the magnetic field in this place. Not only was the positioning instrument temporarily out of order, but the signal instrument for communicating with the outside world was also temporarily unavailable.
Professor Xu's words cast a haze over everyone's hearts.
According to what he said, during the following period of time, we will be truly abandoned by mankind and will have to face all the difficulties in the future alone.
To put it bluntly, even if we all had an accident in this primeval forest, no one outside would know about it in a short time.
Fortunately, Professor Xu and Lan Jianguo are both experienced archaeological team members, and this kind of thing has happened to them before.
According to Professor Xu's estimation, this special situation will not last long, and it may be fine after passing this forest.
But my heart is always heavy. I have my own judgment. I think this is more because we have entered a special Feng Shui realm and the surrounding five elements are chaotic.
This kind of chaos will not only interfere with various precision instruments, but may also have an impact on our thoughts and behaviors.
And evil spirits often appear in such places.
To be on the safe side, around four o'clock in the afternoon, I suggested that everyone quickly find a place to camp first, and then seize the time to discuss tomorrow's itinerary.
According to estimates, the current location should be in the middle of the forest. The wiser choice is to speed up, abandon most of the land exploration, quickly take the raft and take the waterway, and rush out of the forest as soon as possible.
According to the available data, the miasma in this forest takes about more than a month to dissipate, and the longest cannot exceed forty-five days. We cannot waste all our time here.
When we discussed it together in the evening, I told everyone my thoughts and asked for everyone's opinions.
The result is two different sounds.
Du Jun, Lan Yue, Ai Ai, Liu Han, and Hong Gang all agreed. They all suggested giving up the investigation in the forest and leaving here quickly by taking the waterway.
But Professor Lan, Lao Xu and these professionals with professional backgrounds have exactly the opposite opinion.
What Professor Lan said is very reasonable. Whether it is inspection or archeology, no area should be left alone.
The virgin forest is so big, useful minerals or species resources may appear anywhere. Isn't our purpose here to investigate?
If we give up such a large area, how will we explain it when we go back?
You can't just back off at the slightest sign of trouble. Isn't this really a ghost or monster that pops up?
Besides, we also planned a route before coming out. We will go through this forest to the end of the map, and we will return in the other direction.
So as long as we can get out of this forest, even if it suddenly becomes miasmatic, it will not affect us.
Just when we couldn't argue, dark clouds gathered in the sky, and then it started to rain. Then the rain became heavier and heavier. We had no choice but to get back into the tent and wait until tomorrow.
