Chapter 405 Under the Sun
After discussion, everyone agreed to rest first before continuing the exploration.
After a full six hours of sleep, the team set off again.
They climbed up the cliff face step by step, and finally, as the morning light shone through the cave entrance, everyone saw the exit they had longed for.
"Look, everyone! We're not far from the cave entrance. If we keep pushing, we'll be able to have breakfast in the sunshine."
Wu Sanlue encouraged the crowd with obvious excitement.
Wu Xie and the others echoed each other, and although they hadn't reached the outside yet, their expressions had already begun to relax.
Fortunately, Cheng Feng cleaned up the Venus Umbrella properly, and there were no unexpected incidents on the rest of the journey.
After more than ten hours of climbing, everyone finally reached the land one by one.
Under the rising sun, the green trees, grass, blue sky, and white clouds captivated everyone for a long time.
Wu Xie even threw himself down on the grass, immersing himself in the lush green grass.
Only at this moment did everyone realize how precious and diverse life is.
“Send two brothers out to scout out what this place is like, the rest of you set up camp here.”
After regaining his composure, Cheng Feng began to explain the next task.
Two disciples of the Unloading Ridge Sect volunteered to take on the reconnaissance mission, and then the others began to clear away the fallen leaves around them, intending to set up the camp first.
The two disciples of the Unloading Ridge Sect returned to the camp around noon.
"Chief, we found a village more than ten kilometers away. It's inhabited by the local Keriya people. We're already in the Kunlun Mountains."
After listening to the report from the disciples of the Unloading Ridge Sect, Cheng Feng looked at the distant, layered snow-capped mountains.
Indeed, only the ancestral dragon vein could produce such a magnificent sight.
What did you bring back?
Hei Xiazi noticed the cloth bags carried on the backs of the Xieling disciples and asked them curiously.
The disciples of the Unloading Ridge Sect took off the bag, opened it, and revealed the pouch inside and another package of mutton.
"I bought local food from the locals, thinking of giving everyone a change of pace."
As he spoke, he opened the bag containing the mutton, and a rich aroma began to spread throughout the camp.
Soon, Chen Wenjin and the others came over, drawn by the smell.
"Lamb and naan, it seems we've arrived in Xinjiang."
As Chen Wenjin spoke, Cheng Feng had already taken out enough mutton and naan for the group of them.
Then he had two disciples from the Unloading Ridge Sect take out the rest and distribute them to the other brothers.
Zhang Haixing and A Ning got to eat again, but Wu Sansheng and his group weren't so lucky. After all, their stamina was limited, and they couldn't possibly take care of everyone.
After finally getting directions to the village from the two, Panzi took Wuxie and Xiaohua to buy supplies.
"I've already contacted the boss and they should be able to deliver the supplies to us in about a day."
While eating, Aning made a point of mentioning it to Cheng Feng.
Their status as foreign businessmen allowed them to access many resources in the country, such as helicopters, which were the fastest way to replenish supplies for everyone in the Kunlun Mountains.
"Our people should be a bit faster than your boss."
Huo Ling responded casually.
As a local strongman who has been operating in Golmud for decades, Cheng Feng's Xieling gang is now a behemoth.
Even without considering Cheng Feng's nuclear weapon, the sheer size of this force is enough to deter some people from making any rash moves.
"After you finish eating, move around a bit, but don't go too far. This place is deep in the Kunlun Mountains, and there might be danger."
Cheng Feng didn't let the topic continue and changed the subject.
Seeing this, the two women didn't say anything more and each went their separate ways.
In the afternoon, Panzi and his group finally returned to the camp, accompanied by many locals.
They carried loads on shoulder poles, filled with plenty of food and clean water.
Old Master Wu had been in the digging business for many years and was extremely wealthy, so he didn't care about this little bit of money at all.
Wu Sansheng was also good at interpersonal relationships; he even specially sent a lot of food to Cheng Feng.
However, Cheng Feng returned them all, which only conveyed one message.
Below, they can be a team, but once they're outside, they become individual fighters.
For normal people, the more friends the better, but for people like Cheng Feng, the fewer friends the better.
If you really get to know him well, and he begs you for a chance to live, will you give it to him or not?
Words spoken out of kindness have become rampant and uncontrollable.
If you harden your heart and refuse, you will inevitably suffer the sadness of losing a friend.
Wu Sansheng clearly understood what Cheng Feng meant, so he stopped refusing and distributed the excess food.
Later, during a casual conversation with the locals, Wu Sansheng learned about the sky burial pit.
The locals have a custom that has been passed down for thousands of years, in which the deceased are buried in the sky, supposedly to receive blessings from the gods.
Wu Xie and the others shook their heads as they listened, unaware that the corpses thrown down became food for the Venus Umbrella.
However, every cloud has a silver lining, and every cloud has a silver lining. It is because of these foods that normal people are not bothered by Venus umbrellas.
"Hey fellow villager, are there any old or historic places around here?"
Wu Sansheng asked the local man with a smile.
"Hey, Pengyou, you've come to the right person! There's a very old temple nearby!"
The locals were very welcoming, because Wu Sansheng said they were a professional archaeological team belonging to a certain department.
A targeted investigation is underway into the ancient culture of the Kunlun Mountains.
After several rounds of deception, the locals were completely fooled by Wu Sansheng, this old fox, and immediately agreed to take them to see the temple.
Of course, the guide fee also accounts for a large part of this.
Later, Wu Sansheng found Cheng Feng and told him about this.
Cheng Feng felt it was unnecessary and declined the idea of going along, but still asked Zhang Qiling and Hei Xiazi to go with him.
Even if I'm careless, I'll have these two generals to back me up.
After they set off, Cheng Feng took out a map and drew a long line on it.
They traveled more than 600 kilometers from the Black Light Lake Grassland to the Kunlun Mountains, although it seemed like just a matter of a few taps on the gas.
But this was a dark and sunless underground place, and for more than thirty days, all they could see were black stones.
"Yang Lianzhenjia is indeed quite capable; this black dragon vein was clearly attracted there."
It shares a similar concept with the ascension path in imperial tombs.
If Lu hadn't acted erratically, he would never have deliberately created a black dragon vein stretching hundreds of kilometers to the Second Mausoleum of the World.
Therefore, this road could only have been lured there by Yang Lianzhenjia, the builder of the tomb, through special means.
After the emperors in the imperial tombs achieved immortality, they traveled along this dragon vein all the way to Kunlun, which is known as the Immortal Path.
If Cheng Feng saw his tomb in this state, he would definitely send Yang Lianzhenjia to his grave in a nine-generation banishment.
The tomb was filled with corpses and all sorts of strange-looking zongzi (sticky rice dumplings). Was this road not leading to hell?
