The Changbai Mountains were first seen in Chinese written records more than 4,000 years ago.
"Book of Mountains and Seas" calls it "Buxian Mountain", the Northern Wei Dynasty calls it "Tutai Mountain", and the Tang Dynasty calls it "Taibai Mountain".
Of course, it is not Li Taibai's "Taibai".
Li Taibai's Taibai refers to the Taibai constellation in the sky, and the Taibai on Taibai Mountain is probably just because the top of the mountain is too white.
Later, during the Liao and Jin Dynasties, it was named "Changbai Mountain" in Chinese.
The word "Changbai" in the Changbai Mountains is not empty, but has a beautiful meaning: stay together forever and grow old together.
Perhaps people at that time believed that the everlasting white snow on the top of Changbai Mountain represented the perfection and loyalty of love.
Although from a scientific point of view, it is just the result of the altitude being too high, the temperature too low, and the snow layer being too thick, making it difficult to melt.
The Changbai Mountains are located in the Pacific Rim Volcano and Seismic Belt, and even its main peak, Changbai Mountain, is a dormant active volcano.
"First Evolution"
However, the geological conditions of the Changbai Mountains have tended to be stable, and there are no frequent earthquakes. The Changbai Mountains have also been in a dormant state.
According to records, the last eruption of Changbai Mountain was in 1702.
That is April 14th, the 41st day of the reign of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty.
It has been more than three hundred years ago.
Of course, this is just a record of ordinary human society.
According to unofficial records:
“On the fourteenth day of April in the forty-first year of the reign of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty, the land of Changbai burst into flames and burst into the sky. Dark clouds covered the sun. Dragons fluttered their wings and soared in the sky. Red rivers flowed all over the land, and mourning birds filled the fields.
There was a strange man who climbed up high and saw him, praying to the dragon to forgive the people.
Long said: "Li people?" Don't you hear the cries of ants? '
The strange man and the dragon fought fiercely.
The evil dragon is clothed in red water, spitting flames from its mouth, and the white water that has lasted for thousands of years turns into a cold spring.
The strange man is nine feet tall, holds an eight-sided sword, and has a Nuo instrument on his face. Green light flows around his body, and he looks like an evil ghost.
For three days and nights, the land for thousands of miles around turned into red. A strange man killed the evil dragon on Changbai Mountain, and the dragon's mournful cry echoed for thousands of miles.
The battle between man and dragon was so powerful that it was like a meteorite falling from the sky, creating a huge depression on Changbai. The clear spring entered it and turned it into a pool. It was so clear that the blue sky could be seen, so it was named "Tianchi". "
Translated roughly, it means: During the Kangxi period, a dragon flew out of the crater of Changbai Mountain, and the lava burned everyone around it.
There is an awesome person who climbed up the mountain to find the dragon. Tell this big troll to stop trolling. People are making you stupid because of your trolling. Just look at the common people at the foot of the mountain.
Long said: "Do you remember how many slices of bread you have eaten?"
Then there was a battle between man and dragon. The man killed the dragon, and the aftermath of the battle between the two even created a Tianchi.
This unofficial history record is not famous, after all, no one believes it.
After reading it, many historians believe that this is just the conjecture of the ancients.
Even if someone saw it, they would just complain that the author was wasting his talent if he didn't write.
It is impossible to think that this is historical fact.
Except for hybrids.
Perhaps it was because the bloodline level of this awakened dragon was not high, or perhaps because the identity of the strange person was unknown. In short, for some reason, this record did not appear in the "Dragon Genealogy" textbook.
However, it is mentioned in "Dragon Chronicles", another must-read book for hybrids.
On April 14, 1702, a second generation of dragons awakened in the Changbai Mountains on the northeastern border of the Celestial Empire. The origin of their bloodline is unknown. They are suspected to be the lineage of the King of Bronze and Fire/the lineage of the King of Earth and Mountain. They were later killed by the local hybrid species ×× (Yan Ling). ·Bronze Throne) beheaded (unconfirmed).
Execution (unconfirmed): The death state of the dragon cannot be confirmed, and the possibility of cocooning cannot be ruled out.
Although there are only a few sentences, it records the truth of the incident in detail, and serves as a wake-up call for future hybrids: Changbai Mountain is likely to have a second generation of dragon species.
Of course, many of the above records were written on the documents Hua Yishu handed to Gu Bei, otherwise Gu Bei would not have known such details.
After all, with his lazy temperament, he would be reckless when performing tasks.
material? intelligence? What's that?
Some people don’t even bother to open their mouths if you don’t feed them food to their mouths.
For example, Gu Bei.
The next page of information is a compilation of existing information.
Starting from August 27, the Changbai Mountains, which are not in the active cycle, began to experience irregular tremors, with amplitudes of magnitude three to four.
It's neither big nor small. If you pay a little attention, it will basically not kill anyone, but it may develop into a large earthquake.
Moreover, the main peak, Changbai Mountain, also began to frequently emit billowing black smoke, with the possibility of erupting at any time.
Gao Lian, the two heads of the Northeast Division of Nadutong, is a B-class mixed race.
Sun Wu was originally an ordinary person who worked for the Eagle Team and was responsible for intelligence work. Now he has also learned the Xingqi method and is considered a half-finished alien.
They originally thought this was just an ordinary geological activity, so they did not notify the headquarters and special forces. Sun Wu contacted the local inspection team to evacuate the people, and Gao Lian led people from the Seismological Bureau to conduct on-site surveys.
When the seismological bureau's test results came out, Gao Lian and Sun Wu knew that something was seriously wrong.
The seismological bureau did not detect any plate activity. In other words, the earthquake was abnormal.
So the messages were uploaded and analyzed layer by layer.
Finally, the intelligence team of the special forces discovered the above records about the awakening of dragons in Changbai Mountain in ancient books.
Originally, the matter should have ended here. After it was confirmed that it was related to dragons, the task should be assigned to the northern branch of the four major divisions of the special forces. The Tiger Captain (former Tiger King) in charge of the northern branch would lead his team. Go to slay the dragon.
This mission originally had nothing to do with Gu Bei.
Until another piece of information was submitted.
I don’t know when a secret sect began to spread in Antu County near Changbai Mountain.
The Christian name of this sect is unknown, its origin is unknown, its doctrine is unknown, and even the statues of gods enshrined in the church are a blur of appearance.
The spread of this sect was extremely covert at the time, but its spread was extremely wide. It is estimated that the sect's power has covered half of the three eastern provinces.
If it weren't for the large-scale relocation of Baihe Town residents due to the resurgence of dragons, the employees of Nadutong discovered that there were a large number of statues of unknown origins in the transported goods.
It is estimated that when this sect spreads across the country, neither Nadutong nor the special forces may be able to discover their existence.
So the mission was urgently reassigned, from the special forces to the hands of Gu Bei.
Of course, Gu Bei's main task is to investigate an unknown sect. He can't just kill the next-generation species while investigating, right?
So the superiors arranged a partner for him.
The green train finally arrived at the station, and Gu Bei put the information he had read over again into his backpack.
"Mingfei, let's go, get off the car."
After greeting Lu Mingfei, Gu Bei took the lead and walked towards the exit.
Although it didn't look like much, to be honest, Gu Bei couldn't stand it anymore after sitting on a hard seat for three days.
"Boss, wait for me."
Lu Mingfei quickly packed his things and followed Gu Bei.
Due to earthquakes and volcanic activity, the citizens of Baihe Town have almost moved away. Naturally, at this time, there will be no one who will come back with equipment to broadcast the volcanic eruption.
Except for two kinds of people.
One is risking one's life for the sake of fame.
The other is stupid.
Well, from a certain perspective, these two types of people are actually the same.
Gu Bei and Lu Mingfei got out of the car, and the station was empty.
It is obviously the peak tourist season in Changbai Mountain, but apart from the staff, there are only a few people wandering around the station.
One of them stands out.
The woman looked to be in her twenties, wearing a leather jacket and hot pants, and her breasts were extremely exaggerated.
The legs were not very long, at least not as long as Mai Shutoku's life-threatening height of 1.8 meters, but they were slender and strong and looked like they could break a street lamp.
He is about 1.7 meters tall, with rosy eyes and willow-leaf eyebrows. Lu Mingfei's favorite black hair hangs straight down to the waist but does not appear to be too long, swinging just right behind the woman's back.
The woman looked at her watch, raised her head, locked her eyes with Gu Bei and Lu Mingfei, and then walked straight towards them.
"Gu Bei, we meet again."
The woman stopped in front of the two of them and stretched out her right hand towards Gu Bei. The combination of her charming voice and her clothes made her look like a girl next door pretending to be a bad hottie, which was extremely awkward.
But it was this voice that suddenly awakened Gu Bei's memory: "Tiger...Tiger King?!"
The woman grinned.
That's right, King Tiger, the former captain of the Tiger Squadron of the Special Forces and now the head of the Northern Branch of the Dragon-Slaying Force, is the woman in front of him.
She is also Gu Bei's partner in this mission.
After all, it involves the resurgence of dragons and there are abnormal events at the same time. As expected, this mission will be carried out jointly by the two parties.
"I am no longer the Tiger King. My name is Gu Haitang. Speaking of which, we are still the same family. You can call me Sister Gu or Sister Haitang."
Gu Bei stretched out his right hand and shook it with Gu Haitang: "Hello, Sister Haitang."
Although Lu Mingfei didn't know what Tiger King was, it didn't stop him from imitating him: "Hello, Sister Haitang."
Gu Haitang smiled. Unlike her voice, her smile matched her outfit very well, with a carefree and fiery feeling.
It's not that Gu Haitang's voice is not nice, the soft and soft feeling is good alone. After all, Gu Haitang is also good-looking.
It can only be said that it doesn’t match.
Gu Haitang's appearance matched his attire, and his appearance matched his voice, but his voice and attire were completely different.
As long as Gu Haitang changes his clothes, he will be perfect.
Gu Haitang naturally didn't know why Gu Bei was slandering her, or maybe she knew, but didn't care.
The voice is natural and she has no control over it, but what kind of clothes she wears, what kind of things she does, and what kind of person she becomes is her own business. Others can point fingers, and she can also cut off other people's hands and feet.
"Come on, I'll arrange a place for you to stay."
"Um."
Gu Bei and Lu Mingfei took their luggage and followed Gu Haitang out of the station.
"By the way, why don't you two come by plane? If it doesn't work, you can take the high-speed train? Why take the green train?"
Hearing Gu Haitang's inquiry, Hua Yishu's face appeared in Gu Bei's mind again, as well as the uncontrollable upward curve of the corners of her mouth.
"Well, to see the scenery along the way and visit the great rivers and mountains of the motherland, that's right."
"Oh I got it."
Gu Haitang nodded and didn't take it seriously.
Lu Mingfei looked at Gu Bei with a resentful look in his eyes, thinking that you have visited the great mountains and rivers, and I am almost exhausted from the trouble.
Gu Haitang's car was a low-key Huayu, but what didn't match its low-key appearance was its beast-like performance and Gu Haitang's wild driving skills.
Gu Haitang drove Gu Bei and Lu Mingfei to Huayu to remove the wires. There were sparks and lightning all the way. The twenty-minute drive was compressed into five minutes without violating traffic regulations.
Just outrageous.
Gu Bei's face turned pale as he held the car door. He swore that this was the first time since he returned from Tokyo that he hated riding in a car.
Lu Mingfei: "Ugh——"
Well, Lu Mingfei can no longer make a speech.
The accommodation that Gu Haitang arranged for the two of them was not a hotel, but a B&B with a quiet environment in Antu County, which was especially suitable for sitting alone in the dark.
However, Lu Mingfei, who had gone through torture, was no longer in the mood to pay attention to the environment. After a brief wash, he fell on the soft bed.
Gu Bei wasn't much better. If it weren't for his strong cultivation and physical strength, Gu Bei would probably have trouble walking.
The female driver is so scary.
Gu Haitang didn't stay long and left after a few words of warning.
"Although dragon slaying and investigating the mysterious sect are two separate tasks, we are jointly executing them this time, so we must work together."
"We are already looking for the eggs of the next generation, but there is currently no whereabouts. However, the volcanic activity in Changbai Mountain has been too frequent recently. We predict that the "eggs" should be under the magma. If this is the case, then only We can wait for the dragon to revive before killing her. After all, we don't have the ability to search deep into the magma. "
"The investigation related to the mysterious sect has not made much progress. I will have someone sort out the existing information and send it to you later. As for any questions about the investigation, you can contact me at any time. The Western Branch of the Dragon Slaying Force is available at any time. Provide support, after all, there is no dragon to slay now, I have been idle..."
Although the last two sentences were beeping quietly, Gu Bei still heard them.
After a few casual remarks, Gu Haitang was sent away.
However, before leaving, Gu Haitang muttered a few words: "You are a young and strong man, why are you so weak..."
Gu Bei:......
Do you think my listening to the wind's roar is just for show?
Also, don’t you think about whose reason this is?
All in all, the two parties who met for the first time got along quite happily... probably.
Gu Bei was so stunned by Gu Haitang's driving skills that he doubted his life. At one point, his Liuku Immortal Thief might be a decoration. Otherwise, why would he still feel vomiting after it was clearly digested?
Feeling unwell, Gu Bei took a shower and then threw himself on the bed, following in Lu Mingfei's footsteps.
The two slept in darkness until the moon and stars became scarce and the branches entangled themselves in the night sky.
There was a rustling sound, and in the darkness, something seemed to fly past the two people's beds.
On the bed, Gu Bei suddenly opened his eyes, and a strange light bloomed in his eyes.
Of course he wasn't a golden boy, after all, Gu Bei's dragon blood had been removed by him.
The pair of eyes are black and white. The black eye is no different from an ordinary person's eye, but the white eye is surrounded by pitch black whites.
Yin Yang boy? Not really.
This is just a little trick developed by Gu Bei based on Qi, which can make the night look like day.
Scanning the room, Gu Bei saw a moving little thing lying on the table next to him.
That's...a mouse?
