Explore Changbai Mountain

Chapter 375

Because Jiuyi Mountain is the location of Zhaoling, there are some hotels at the foot of the mountain, and there are villages and towns in the distance.In order to deceive others, Liu Cong asked the convoy to stop there temporarily after finding a relatively hidden col at the foot of the mountain.Guo Huaxing stepped out of the car, looked up at the last rays of the setting sun, and nodded.

I have to say that Liu Cong is very accurate in controlling the time spent on the road.When the convoy arrived at the foot of Jiuyi Mountain, it happened to be just after dark. Counting the climbing time, when the team reached the top of the mountain, it should be the best time for stargazing.

Because there are many mausoleums of the Tang Dynasty on Jiuyi Mountain, many places have been planned. If all the people in the team go up the mountain together, the target will be too conspicuous.In addition, according to the previous speculation, it is very likely that the holy place of Taoism is not on Jiuyi Mountain, so Guo Huaxing only ordered a few people to go up the mountain with him to watch the stars, while the others stayed in place and waited for the results of the stargazing.

Guo Huaxing did not choose a large number of escorts. Apart from Chen Ziyang and Liu Cong, there were only Zhen Hao and two team members in charge of protection.Yang Lei felt sore all day because of the car ride all day, and he insisted on going with Chen Ziyang to learn more. Guo Huaxing did not refuse, so a group of seven started hiking.

"Just take these few people up the mountain, what if people from the Dragon Digging Association ambushed halfway." Looking at the silhouette of Jiuyi Mountain in the night, Chen Ziyang said worriedly.

Ever since he saw how streamlined the team was this time, Chen Ziyang had been a little worried.After all, the Dragon Digging Society has already known about the Taoist holy land, so they will definitely do everything possible to obtain the iron book, so as to obtain the specific location of the Qing dragon vein treasure.

On the contrary, although the equipment of my own team is also good, but none of the supporting equipment that can give people confidence such as Tyrannosaurus rex trucks or Desperate Saburo is not brought.

"Don't worry, although there are many masters in the Dragon Digging Association, there are not many Taoist disciples. This time we have to go through the seven tests of Taoism. If people from the Dragon Digging Association ambushed us halfway, If they want to seize the first opportunity, then they are fools.

We have analyzed before that although the Dragon Digging Association is also very powerful, they have no way to crack the Taoist holy land by themselves. The chance for them to obtain the iron book is to seize it after we have it, or after we have one by one. After cracking the seven tests, we will snatch it when we are about to get the iron book, so the possibility of them ambushing on the way is very small.

Another point is that as early as a few years ago, when we learned that the first step in finding the Taoist holy land was to gaze at the stars in Jiuyi Mountain, we had already started preparations.It can be said that Mr. Chen has deployed almost half of his power around Jiuyi Mountain. Over the past few years, these people have been carefully preventing the infiltration of the Dragon Digging Society.

So far, although it is very likely that some spies from the Dragon Digging Society have entered the range of Jiuzong Mountain, their large troops should not have arrived here, and we are still very safe. "Liu Cong said very confidently.

In order to avoid revealing their whereabouts, the seven people did not use flashlights at all, and all used night vision goggles to check the road ahead. Fortunately, the vegetation on Jiuyi Mountain is not lush, and the road is relatively obvious, which did not cause much trouble to the seven people .

After climbing along a raised ridge for a long time, Chen Ziyang felt like walking on the back of a dragon. It has to be said that the terrain of Jiuyi Mountain is indeed very rare.The ridges he could see were almost the same thickness and slope, and the distance between them was almost the same. Even if it was designed artificially, it would be impossible to design it so neatly.

The slope of the ridge of Jiuyi Mountain was relatively steep, and the team did not go far after walking for more than an hour. Yang Lei was tired and out of breath, and Chen Ziyang also felt very awkward.

Although Chen Ziyang didn't consume much physical strength and didn't feel very tired, he felt that his eyes were very uncomfortable.It is green to see things with the night vision device. It is a fresh feeling to wear the night vision device once in a while, but walking with it all the time puts a heavy burden on the eyes.

Now Chen Ziyang felt that his eyes were dry and astringent, and there was some pain. He obviously felt that the frequency of his blinking had increased a lot.Hearing that Liu Cong in front told the team to stop to rest, Chen Ziyang hastily pushed up the night vision goggles on his helmet and rubbed his eyes vigorously.

"I'll be good, but I'm exhausted. Liu Cong, why don't you just let the helicopter transport us up? If it's not enough, can't you get a few motorcycles? Do you have to walk up?" Yang Lei said to Liu Cong while beating his sore calf.

"You don't understand this. According to Taoism, a real star master needs to bathe and change clothes before stargazing. Now that the conditions are not allowed, this link is removed, but stargazing still has a very strict requirement. That's where stargazers must hike up for stargazing.

If the observatory is built on flat ground, the stargazers need to step up step by step. If the place for stargazing is on a mountain, then starting from the foot of the mountain, the stargazers need to step up one step at a time. to the place of stargazing. "Liu Cong said to Yang Lei while looking around vigilantly.

"What kind of broken rule is this? Isn't this tormenting people? If one day you get a reminder that you need to watch the stars on Mount Everest, then the stargazers will not be exhausted."

"If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense. From the point of view of Taoism, star masters and hexagram masters have some requirements before stargazing and divination. That's because whether it's stargazing or using hexagrams to deduce, they are all stealing secrets.

These requirements are nothing more than to show to the sky that the stargazers and deducers are very sincere. As for whether they can spy on the secrets of the sky, it depends on the will of the sky. "Chen Ziyang pinched the bridge of his nose and said. After resting for a while, his eyes felt much more comfortable.

"You say that Zhang Taixu is really wicked enough. Since he has left something about the Taoist holy land, can't he say more? But only more than 100 words are left. Until now, let's continue to link. I don't know what to do." Yang Lei was really tired, he just couldn't relax, and kept complaining.

Just when Yang Lei wanted to continue to talk, suddenly a cold light flashed by his side, as if something hit his side.Yang Lei was so frightened that his hands trembled, and he hurriedly looked to his side.

Beside Yang Lei, less than five centimeters away from him, a two-foot-long poisonous snake was twisting its body, and even the tail of the poisonous snake slapped Yang Lei's thigh.

Yang Lei jumped up as soon as he was high, and rushed to the side, avoiding the poisonous snake from a distance. At this moment, he realized that the snake's head had been nailed to the ground by something like a small silver dagger. This snake is not going to survive.

Seeing this small silver-white dagger, Yang Lei remembered that the dart that nailed the snake's head should be the kind of dart that Zhenhao had wiped before. It seemed that Zhenhao's dart saved his life, otherwise it would be very dangerous Maybe this poisonous snake will bite him when he is not paying attention.

After seeing all this, Chen Ziyang hastily cast his eyes on Zhenhao, his eyes were full of gratitude.But when Chen Ziyang saw Zhenhao, the gratitude in his eyes turned into surprise.

Zhenhao was ten meters away from Yang Lei, and the night vision goggle on his helmet was propped up, so it was not drawn to his eyes, that is to say, in such a short time just now, this Zhen Hao found the poisonous snake ten meters away in the dark night without any light source, and accurately threw the dart in his hand, and it stuck on the snake's head.

Although Chen Ziyang can vaguely see the surrounding scenery without the night vision device, he can only see three or four meters away at most. Ten meters away is completely pitch black, and he can only vaguely see some Shadow silhouette.

But this Zhenhao not only saw the poisonous snake ten meters away, but also accurately threw a dart and hit the snake's head. The skill and eyesight of this flying target is really well-deserved, no wonder Jin Huang praised him so much.

Ignoring the surprised eyes of the two, Zhenhao walked slowly to the place where the poisonous snake was, reached out and grabbed the dart, and lifted it together with the poisonous snake.Then he pulled the dart from the viper's head, swiped downward, cut open the viper's body with the dart, squeezed out the snake gall with two fingers, threw it into his mouth and swallowed it.

After wiping the darts on his black special combat uniform, Zhenhao threw down the dead poisonous snake, and continued to warn his surroundings with a nonchalant expression.

"Nonsense, you kid, get out of here, don't let the bloody smell on your body pollute my Taoism, if anything goes wrong with stargazing, I'll screw your kid's head off." Seeing Zhenhao kill Poisonous snake, Guo Huaxing, who was standing aside, scolded angrily.

"I'm sorry, Master Guo, the incident happened suddenly just now, I didn't think about it that much, I just thought about saving people." Zhen Hao said with his head down.

"Hmph! If something like this happens again, I'd rather let him die here than delay my important event." Guo Huaxing ignored Zhenhao's explanation, raised his head and looked at the sky with displeasure and said.

Yang Lei rolled a blank look at Guo Huaxing, obviously trying to upset Hao Ming for his savior.Liu Cong also patted Zhenhao on the shoulder to comfort him.

Although what Guo Huaxing said just now was a bit harsh, Chen Ziyang could understand it.This time, the matter of finding the Taoist Holy Land was so important that almost everyone put in all their strength, hoping that this operation would be successful.

And what Maoshan Star Master feared most before stargazing was bloody aura.The Maoshan star master who was tainted with blood is tantamount to blaspheming the heavens. It is very likely that he will not be able to see through the sky when watching the stars, which will lead to the failure of the star watching. It is no wonder that Guo Huaxing is so angry.

At this time, Chen Ziyang realized that although Guo Huaxing was old, his physical strength was really weak.Compared with Yang Lei who was out of breath, Guo Huaxing was not flushed and out of breath, and was calmly staring at the stars in the sky.

"Usually, Guo Zhenren is still very amiable, and always talks and laughs with us, but this time the matter is really important, so don't mind.

Guo Zhenren has been preparing for this day for several years, and he doesn't want to make mistakes in the first level he is responsible for. Seeing the awkward atmosphere, Liu Cong smoothed things over, whispering in the ears of Chen Ziyang and Yang Lei.

"Liu Cong, you think too much. I won't have any objections to Guo Zhenren. We are all descendants of Maoshan. I can understand what happened just now. If it were me, I would be very unhappy. You talk more Let me tell you something about Master Guo."

"By the way, I just remembered that you two have a similarity. You can open Yin-Yang eyes, and this real Guo also has a very unique ability. He can open star eyes."

"Star Eye!" Chen Ziyang said in surprise.The reason why he was so surprised was because he knew that compared with the yin and yang eyes that he could open, the people who could open the star eyes were even rarer.

If one in a thousand people has the wisdom root to open the yin and yang eye, then there may not be one in a hundred thousand people who can open the star eye. It is no wonder that Guo Huaxing will become the star master of Maoshan, no wonder he can take on the responsibility The important task of opening the first test of the Taoist Holy Land.

"It's getting late, let's continue on the road." Guo Huaxing said to everyone.

Because of the previous events, the atmosphere along the way seemed a little awkward, but everyone rarely talked to each other, so it didn't affect anything else.

The team stopped and went, and after walking for several hours, a group of seven people finally climbed to a sub-peak of Jiuyi Mountain.Jiuyi Mountain is more than 1000 meters above sea level. It is not an easy task to climb to the main peak, and the time is not allowed, so Guo Huaxing chose this side peak as his place for stargazing.

Although this is not the main peak of Jiuyi Mountain, it does not affect the stargazing. The vastness of the stars cannot be affected by a square inch.

The altitude of this sub-peak is not low, and the surrounding field of vision is also very wide. If you watch stars here, you will not be blocked by the main peak at all, and you can see the entire starry sky at a glance.

Although Chen Ziyang had seen Instructor Liu stargazing before, he really didn't know anything about stargazing.After looking up for a long time, Chen Ziyang couldn't find out which seven stars Zhang Taixu mentioned was referring to the gathering of seven stars, so he could only watch the excitement from the sidelines.

After performing some religious rituals, Guo Huaxing stood on the highest point of the Vice Peak with his hands behind his back, looking up at the starry sky without saying a word for a long time.

At this time, in Guo Huaxing's eyes, there are a few stars in the sky that are in a line shining with a faint purple light, and from the main peak of Jiuyi Mountain, there is also a purple aura slowly rising and melting into it. into the purple light emitted by the stars.

"So that's it, that's it. The purple energy pierces the sky, the seven stars line up, Liu Cong, what is the southeast direction?" Guo Huaxing asked excitedly.

"Southeast direction? The southeast direction should be Xianyang, and the east-southeast direction is Xi'an."

"That's right, that's right! Ziqi comes from the east and goes west. The Taoist holy land is really not on this Jiuyi Mountain. Let's go northwest, where the Ziqi gathers."
