Collection of Huaxia: The beginning shocked Qin Shihuang

Chapter 655 Diary

Zhuo Yan smiled very much. He looked at Lin Yi and said, "Mr. Lin, don't worry, I will definitely not help you!"

Lin Yi looked at Zhuo Yan with a smile and said, "I hope so."

Lin Yi looked at Xie Yuanming and said, "What do you want to say?"

Xie Yuanming shrugged and said, "I'm just here to join in the fun."

Gu Yuquan walked over with his hands behind his back, looked at the three of them with a smile and said, "With you boys, I'm not alone."

A group of five people prepared to go to the Qinling Mountains together. Gu Yuquan had been there many times and knew the way. After getting off the car, he led the people along a small road.

Along the way, the wild ecology of the Qinling Mountains feasted everyone's eyes. After reading some materials about the Qinling Mountains, Lin Yi told everyone what the strange flowers and plants along the way were.

As they talked, they talked about Gu Yuquan's friend. Gu Yuquan replied, "My friend is a Taoist priest on Qinling Mountain."

"He lived in seclusion on the Qinling Mountains in his early years, and he would come down every three months, or his son would send him some daily necessities, and sometimes, I would also send him some food."

"We've known each other for many years."

Gu Yuquan seemed quite emotional, Zhuo Yan said with a smile: "Does the hermit still need someone to bring food?"

Gu Yuquan also said with a smile: "So, we used to say that he is a fake hermit."

"Then what's so good about being a hermit? If you're a fake hermit, it's just an escape." Hu Mingyuan said.

"For some people, escaping is the best choice." Lin Yi said.

Zhuo Yan curled his lips and said, "It should be a coward's act to escape, how could it be the best choice."

As he spoke, he put his hands on the back of his head and strode forward. As soon as his back foot stepped into the grass behind him, he stepped directly into the hollow and adjusted to the hollow under the grass.

The three of Lin Yi hurried to the edge of the hollow, and shouted inside: "Zhuo Yan!"

Joo-yeon responded below.

"Master Lin! I'm fine!"

Zhuo Yan quickly climbed up along the entrance of the cave, still holding an old diary in his hand.

This diary has been around for a certain period of time, and it seems that it has been in this hole before, so the cover is covered with moss, the pages inside are extremely damp, and many of them have blurred themselves.

Zhuo Yan handed the diary to Lin Yi and said, "I found this diary on the rock inside. I don't know who it is."

Hu Mingyuan asked: "Apart from this diary, is there anything else?"

Zhuo Yan shook his head and said, "I looked around, but I didn't see anything else."

Xie Yuanming poked his head out to look at the notes in Lin Yi's hand, and Gu Yuquan also looked at them. Lin Yi looked at the contents of the diary and said, "It's the diary of a geographer, or an explorer."

"Look, the geological survey about the Qinling Mountains."

Zhuo Yan looked over and said, "Tch, I thought I could take a risk."

Lin Yi smiled and said, "Aren't we taking a risk?"

Hu Mingyuan looked at the diary and said, "Shouldn't things like diaries be carried with you? Why are you throwing them here?"

Zhuo Yan's eyes lit up, and he said, "Maybe something happened to this adventurer that prompted him to lose his diary?"

Lin Yi flipped through the diary, saying that this is a diary rather than a record book for address investigation. This record book records the author's journey in detail, and the date of inscription is in the last century.

In other words, the author, like Xu Xiake, walked through the Qinling Mountains bit by bit with his own feet, and investigated many things about the Qinling Mountains.

Lin Yi took a general look, and found some blurred writing, the things recorded in it were completely indistinguishable from some modern Qinling materials.

It's hard to imagine that in the last century, someone was able to walk all over the Qinling Mountains on their own feet, and explore things about the Qinling Mountains bit by bit.

Lin Yi felt admiration in his heart, and said, "This is Mr. Xu's spiritual successor in modern times."

Xie Yuanming looked at the notes and said, "With such perseverance, why did you leave the diary in this place? Could it be that this scholar is a person with perseverance, but also a daredevil?"

Zhuo Yan said with a smile: "It is possible, at least it seems that this person is a daredevil."

Zhuo Yana was flipping through the diary. There was nothing else in the diary except it was worn out. Such a thick diary had words written on both the front and back, but there was no place where the author's name was written, even if it was a diary. There are no abbreviations.

Gu Yuquan looked at the notebook, then looked at the young men in front of him, and said with a smile: "Okay, let's start an expedition in the Qinling Mountains this time."

Lin Yi looked at Gu Yuquan and said, "Teacher, will this delay your meeting with your friends?"

Gu Yuquan said with a smile: "No, no, a man should face the blue sea and twilight the sky. If we don't do anything with this notebook, then it won't work. Just follow the scholar's way and let me see it." ,Um?"

Gu Yuquan looked at it and said, "This scholar's route seems to be where my friend lives in seclusion."

Lin Yi looked at the route. The scholar did not leave his name on the title page, but he left a simple route map. The location of this route map is at a position in the East Liang of the Qinling Mountains.

"That's quite a coincidence, let's go and have a look together." Xie Yuanming said.

Zhuo Yan cheered happily, he was 100% interested in these things because of his young age.

"Great! Let's take a look, maybe we can find some clues to identify the owner of this diary."

Lin Yi nodded, several people planned the route, and set off for the first location, Taixing Mountain.

On the way to Taixing Mountain, Lin Yi and the others saw some Taoist priests living in seclusion on the mountain.

Lin Yi casually asked about this matter, and showed the diary to several hermit Taoist priests.

The Taoist priests took a look and said: "We don't know, but I heard from the old Taoist priest a long time ago that there were indeed many explorers who came to the Qinling Mountains before, because there were too many people, and the old Taoist priest didn't remember how many." .”

A few Taoist priests looked at me and I looked at you, and they all expressed that they didn't know much.

After Ji Dong and others thanked them, they continued to walk forward. With his rich knowledge and experience, Ji Dong identified some traces of bonfires from a long time ago on the road, but he had no way to determine whether these bonfires were from that era.

It was getting dark at this time, and several people set up camp in the forest. Lin Yi sprinkled some medicinal powder beside the tents of several people to prevent some birds, beasts, insects and ants from entering by mistake.

But staying overnight on the Qinling Mountains is not just about keeping out bugs and rats and the like, it's also about keeping out some of the larger animals that are attracted to firelight.

Lin Yi and Hu Mingyuan took turns to watch the night outside the tent.
