Chapter 32673269【Zhelong Mountain】
After the ship arrived in Zhanjiang, Xiang Nan, Hua Ling and the old foreigner went to Zhang Xianghua, chairman of Guangdong Province.
Because Xiang Nan is well-known on Wall Street and has contacts with U.S. congressmen and senior officials, he can naturally use their connections to build a big banner.
After Zhang Xianghua learned Xiang Nan's identity, he was very excited and agreed to Xiang Nan's requests one by one. He immediately dispatched vehicles and manpower to take Xiang Nan and the others to southern Yunnan.
At that time, although the country was still relatively chaotic, with bandits, bandits, and road bullies emerging one after another, it was difficult to cure them. However, because of the pass issued by the chairman of Guangdong Province and the **** of an army of hundreds of people, Xiang Nan and others still had surprises along the way. No risk.
After ten days of hard work, we finally arrived in southern Yunnan.
After arriving in southern Yunnan, Xiang Nan and the others bid farewell to the army and took horses to Zhelong Mountain. Along the way, he changed his clothes, kept his name anonymous, and kept a low profile. He only said that he was a businessman and did not dare to reveal his true purpose.
After all, they are going to fight against each other this time, and the so-called money and silk are so attractive that they will inevitably be coveted.
Fortunately, Xiang Nan has traveled all over the world and has seen all kinds of caravans, salt gangs, and tea gangs, so they dress up so that no one can tell that they are tomb robbers from the United States.
…
Hungry and thirsty along the way, we stayed overnight at dawn and walked for another ten days, finally arriving at Zhelong Village at the foot of Zhelong Mountain.
Xiang Nan knew that Zhelong Village was the descendant of the ancient Dian Kingdom. The purpose of building villages here was to protect the treasures in the mountains.
They also know a secret road leading to Zhelong Mountain. Entering Zhelong Mountain through the secret road is much easier than climbing through the snow-capped mountains.
After all, Zhelong Mountain is 3,300 meters above sea level and is covered with thick ice and snow all year round. Crossing the snow-capped mountains is extremely difficult and is far less convenient than walking on a secret trail.
After the three people arrived at Zhelong Village, they began to use the salt, needlework, cotton cloth, etc. they carried with them to exchange tea, furs, medicinal materials, etc. with the villagers.
Of course, on the surface it was to do business, but in fact it was to inquire about information, because Xiang Nan did not know very well where the secret passage of Zhelong Village was. He didn't have that much time to search, so the skilled artist was bold enough to go directly to the village to inquire about the news.
In addition, they have been on the road for ten days, so they should take a good rest and replenish their energy. After all, after entering the Worm Valley, they had no time to rest.
Because he brought the goods that were urgently needed in the village, and because Xiang Nan didn’t intend to make money, he just wanted to inquire about information and have a rest, so he was very fair in doing business, so he was naturally warmly welcomed.
Not only did many villagers come to them to exchange goods, but when Xiang Nan proposed that he could stay in the village for one night and leave tomorrow, the villagers readily agreed.
…
That night, Xiang Nan and others stayed at the patriarch's house in Zhelong Village.
The patriarch’s name is Ruobu, and his eldest son is called Enkuan. He is quite strong and has been destined to be the successor of the patriarch.
When Xiang Nan saw him, he knew that he was exactly the patriarch in the drama version of "Yunnan Worm Valley". He had brains, courage, and strategies, and had caused a lot of trouble for the protagonist group.
Of course, this is also because Hu Bayi, Wang Kaixuan, and Shirley Yang have good intentions and do not dare to hurt others. If the residents of Zhelong Village dared to cause trouble for them this time, he promised to let them know why the flowers were so red.
Anyway, this is a period of war, and it is not a big deal if millions of people die. Zhelong Village is located in a remote place, and no one comes here all year round. Even if everyone in the village dies, there won't be any waves.
Turning around, Xiang Nan and the others pretended to be on the road. In fact, after leaving Zhelong Village, they tied their horses in the dense forest and followed the three of them around the road back to Zhelong Village. They saw a stream behind the village. After walking three miles along the stream, I saw that the stream merged into a cave.
“Brother, there really is a secret passage.” The old foreigner said in surprise.
“Senior brother, you are so smart. How did you know that there is a secret passage leading to Worm Valley?” Hua Ling asked curiously.
“Simple. In ancient times, there was no transportation equipment as good as today. If all the stones and wood needed to build a mausoleum had to be transported across the snowy mountains, how big a project would it be?
Don't say that King Xian is just the emperor. Even if he is Qin Shihuang, he may not be able to do it by gathering the strength of the whole country. So there must be a secret passage that can transport materials more conveniently. "Xiang Nan explained.
When the old foreigners and Hua Ling heard it, they all thought it made sense.
…
The three men immediately cut down the bamboos on the shore and tied them into bamboo rafts.
With Xiang Nan’s manual skills, building a bamboo raft is a piece of cake. Soon after the bamboo raft was built, the three people propped up the bamboo raft and sailed into the secret passage.
I saw that this is a limestone cave. There is a huge difference in height. The wide part can drive a large car, and the low part is only more than one meter high. There are many lava rocks formed over thousands of years, with all kinds of strange shapes.
Xiang Nan knew that there were two forked roads in the cave. One was a dangerous road with corpses hanging there, and it was full of dangers and narrow escapes. The other was much safer, and there was basically no problem as long as the boat didn't capsize.
So Xiang Nan specially punted the boat at the bow to ensure that the bamboo rows moved slowly and steadily to avoid going the wrong way. When the time comes, those corpses, water wasps, saber-toothed vipers, and blue-scaled pythons will all be no fun.
“Be careful, be careful, follow my rhythm and take your time.” Xiang Nan shouted, leading the way.
Although it was hard to see anything in the cave, luckily Xiang Nan prepared a strong flashlight. In addition, he has clairvoyant eyes and can see in the dark, so he will not become blind.
“Brother, why is it so cold in this cave?” Hua Ling sat in the middle and asked while maintaining balance.
“It’s probably because the melted ice water from the snow-capped mountains flows into this stream.” Xiang Nan explained.
“Brother, is there really the Muchen Bead in King Xian’s tomb?” the old foreigner asked.
“There must be one, don’t worry.” Xiang Nan reminded.
While speaking, the speed of the water flow changed and suddenly sped up a lot.
Xiang Nan knew that several underground undercurrents merged into this stream, causing the water speed to suddenly increase.
If the control is not good, it is easy to be washed into the fork by the current.
So he immediately reminded the old foreigner and Hua Ling, "Be careful, the current is accelerating, slow down the boat."
He had already seen through his clairvoyance eyes that there was a fork ahead. Because there is a big gap between the fork and the original river channel. Therefore, the water flowing toward the fork is relatively fast, and if you are not careful, the bamboo rafts can easily be led astray.
When Xiang Nan saw the outfit, he immediately used bamboo poles to prop up the front to control the speed of the boat. Don't be led astray by the rapids.
His strength is more than a thousand pounds, and no matter how strong the water flow is, it will still be unable to defeat him. Coupled with the hard work of the old foreigner and Hua Ling, the speed of the boat finally slowed down and it was not deflected by the rapids.
