Chapter Thirty-One Section Twenty-nine
Chapter 31 Chapter 29
Of course, the feeling of being controlled and dominated by others is not good, but according to the current situation, Liu Ping and the others cannot change anything. The only thing they can do is to follow the path designated by the wise man. Perhaps they will be able to be liberated until everything is over.
After the fog was removed, the surrounding mountains were fully visible. Xu Yunde observed carefully for a long time, and his expression became more and more surprised. Finally, he shouted out: "This is the supreme state of the gathering of dragons! Unrivaled in the world, unique... It has never appeared in history. I didn't expect that the Feng Shui of Tianshan is so powerful!"
At this moment, Wang Changgui's face was filled with shock. He nodded and said, "Yes, the dragons gathered together, and the peaks of the Tianshan Mountains were actually hundreds of dragons dancing together, hundreds of dragon veins lived together. I think this is the only place in the world. Brother Xu, what effect would you do if there was a tomb of a king and buried between this Tomur Peak?"
Xu Yunde shook his head and said, "It is impossible. No one in the world can deserve such a Feng Shui treasure land. If a tomb is built here for a far-fetched way, he will be backfired. At that time, the family will suffer and the descendants will be cut off. Even if it is a generation of imperial families, it will decline and it will be rare to have a good end."
Liu Ping said thoughtfully: "Although that said, it is very likely that there is such a person who is buried in the Tianshan Mountains."
Wang Changgui nodded and said, "Girl, this group of dragons is not something that cannot be built tombs, but we must judge the situation and find a place that is not fought against by hundreds of dragons, and it cannot be built in front of the dragon head of the king of hundreds of dragons. From this point of view, there is an ancient tomb hidden under the ancient temple, so the site selection of the ancient temple is very likely to be in the gap where the group of dragons ignores it."
Mary heard this and said, "If there is such a place, I think the most likely one is the Valley of the Dead!"
When everyone heard this, they immediately turned their doubtful eyes to Mary. Liu Ping asked: "The Canyon of Dead? Is the Valley of Death you mentioned before? Why do you think where the ancient temple is located? "
Mary said: "Didn't you say that the entire Tianshan Mountain is a gathering of dragons? The two Tomur Peak are the king of the hundred dragons, that is, the largest dragon vein. The other dragons are facing it. Therefore, behind the king of the hundred dragons, there must be no place for hundreds of dragons to fight. Even the Dragon King himself will ignore it. The Valley of the Dead Souls I mentioned happens to be in this place!"
After listening to Mary's explanation, Xu Yunde said happily: "Okay, Mary, I didn't realize that you are so smart. No wonder you are the ones who are so important to the Tashi family's extermination of cultists are all set up!"
After Xu Yunde praised this, Mary couldn't help but blushed and then said, "Does he be very smart? It's just that you are all too powerful, so my talent is covered by your light..."
Liu Ping laughed and said, "It's gold, it will shine everywhere. Isn't you shining now, Sister Mary? The Valley of the Dead is what you thought of. If we really find the ancient temple there, then it can be said that the problem that has troubled the Tashi family for hundreds of years was solved by you Tashi Mary. In this way, your father will definitely be proud of you!"
After hearing this, Mary said with joy: "Really... But..." Unexpectedly, Mary's joy was fleeting, and she said with a random worry: "But the Valley of Dead is a place of death, a desperate situation that no one can enter. Are we really going?"
Xu Yunde nodded and said, "Even if it is a dragon pond and a tiger's den, we have to make a breakthrough. What's more, our group has been to the Jedi, which is more dangerous than hell. Haven't they all come out alive? It's definitely not a problem to be a mere Valley of Dead Souls."
At this time, Porong walked to Mary, reached out and patted her shoulder and said, "I said Mary, are you afraid, are you? If you really don't dare to enter the Valley of the Undead, just wait for us outside."
Unexpectedly, Mary smiled slightly and said, "Maybe I would be really scared in the past, but since I died once that day, I will no longer be scared of anything. I was just worried for everyone just now. Now it seems that my worries are redundant."
Liu Ping said thoughtfully: "We must enter the Valley of Dead, but before that, it is best for everyone to learn more about this valley. After all, only by knowing your enemy and being close to you can you win a hundred battles! Mary, can you tell us all, why is it called Valley of Dead?"
Mary nodded and then said, "The Valley of Dead is actually the title we have only called in recent years. In the past, that valley has always been called the Valley of Death, which means that once people enter that valley, they will never be able to come out alive. Throughout history, no one has been able to break this spell. A few years ago, our Taxi family organized a team of people to search around Tomur Peak. When everyone approached the Valley of Death, someone saw a thick fog, and seemed to be floating in many dead souls! Those people insisted that these dead souls must be the souls of explorers who died in the Tianshan Mountains over the years. They were unwilling to accept that they had been wandering in the Tianshan Mountains. Later, due to some supernatural phenomenon, they all gathered in the Valley of Death. Therefore, since then, the Valley of Death has added a more terrifying name - the Valley of Death."
After hearing this, Liu Ping nodded slightly and then said, "I saw many floating ghosts in the fog? Could this be some special natural phenomenon? For example, a mirage? Or a projection of some wild animals on the ground?"
Mary shook her head and said, "It is impossible. Since the appearance of the dead soul, our family of Tashi has found many foreign scientific teachings to explain this phenomenon. They used very clever scientific methods, but they never came up with a definite answer. In the end, the matter had to be terminated. But an old French professor told me before leaving that there are many things that humans cannot answer in this world, such as whether human souls really exist... In his opinion, the dead souls seen by our family's expedition team are likely to be real ghosts!"
Xu Yunde nodded and said, "I didn't expect that the foreign big nose actually believed in the existence of the soul. It seems that the big noses are not useless."
After Xu Yunde said this, Mary seemed to ask in confusion: "Mr. Xu, what do you mean... Are there really ghosts in this world? Have you seen them with your own eyes?"
When Xu Yunde heard this, he burst into laughter. Seeing this, Mary was even more puzzled and asked Liu Ping curiously, saying, "Sister Liu, why does Mr. Xu laugh? Is my question very childish?"
Liu Ping shook her head and said, "It's not that your question is naive, but that you ask Brother Xu this question. It's really a question. It's true that Brother Xu has seen ghosts with his own eyes, but also often deals with ghosts. Do you know that in the inland, Brother Xu has a nickname?"
Mary shook her head and said, "I...I didn't know Mr. Xu before, of course I don't know."
Liu Ping smiled and said, "He is called the Corpse King! He is the number one master in the tomb robbery world. How could a person who digs graves and digs have never seen a ghost?"
"Ah?" After hearing this, Mary looked even more shocked. She said, "Mr. Xu is actually a tomb robber? He is so powerful, is he still short of money? If he is really short of money, then come to our Tashi family and stop robbing tombs. I promise to give you the best treatment!"
When Guo Hai and others heard this, they couldn't help laughing: "Miss Mary's proposal seems to be good. The Corpse King is a guardian for someone. I believe no one in the world dares to yell at the Tashi family anymore. If anyone is dissatisfied, he will lead two zombies over and yell. What can't be settled?"
Xu Yunde laughed and scolded: "Don't make fun of me, I went to the Taxi family to be a guardian. How many of you really want to do this?"
Marie said: "Mr. Xu, are you looking down on our Tashi family?"
Xu Yunde waved his hand and said, "Of course not, but I am not in the tomb robbery industry because I am short of money, but for many other reasons. In short, it is hard to describe it. I can't explain it clearly to you for a while. Maybe you will understand it when you grow up or go to our inland."
After hearing Xu Yunde's words, Mary nodded thoughtfully and said, "Yes, I really should go to the inland for a walk, even Brother Zhou said so!"
"Okay!" Liu Ping smoothed out in time and said, "It's getting late. Since we have set our next stop to the Valley of Dead, it's time to clean up and prepare to go down the mountain."
Everyone nodded, then took a few more glances at the scene on the highest peak of Tianshan Mountain, then returned to the snow ditch, packed their bags, and went down the mountain after Mary pointed out the direction of the Valley of the Dead.
The Valley of Death in the Tianshan Mountains is located in the southwest of Tomur Peak, surrounded by mountains, like a huge deep well. If you want to enter the valley, the shortest way is to bypass a huge ridge more than five meters high and then climb down the cliff on the back of the ridge. Of course, this cliff is also the gentlest area around the Valley of Death.
Mary's suggestion was that before dark, everyone arrived at the leeward slope of the ridge. There was a cave that was discovered by the ancestors of the Tashi family. The entrance of the cave was at the lower wind vent, and spending the night there in winter is a very good choice.
After everyone was determined to pay attention, they accelerated their pace. After all, everyone has been tired of sleeping in the open for days. Now that they have a warm and comfortable cave, they are still very attractive to everyone.
What is most gratifying is that since entering the mountain, the weather has been very good for several days, and there has not been a strong wind or blizzard. This is undoubtedly a great luck for Liu Ping and others! In Mary's words, it is the favor of the goddess of ice and snow.
In short, Liu Ping and others had their own ideas and walked down the top of Tomur Peak without any danger along the steep mountain wall. At about 4,000 meters, they finally reached the huge ridge that Mary mentioned. Then, the group continued to move southwest along the slightly gentle ridge. In the middle, they saw a large group of red deer, argali, and northern goats under the snow line. Because the valley looked around the mountains and the cold air flow could not blow in, it was relatively warm. The wild animals were still wandering on the snow line, and even brown bears appeared from time to time. They must have been attracted by the large group of herbivores.
