Mountains and seas close at hand

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

□□□□Shooting three bullets in a row, the black shadow fled back into the old forest as if frightened, and disappeared without a trace.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, still in shock.

Although the black shadow flashed past, except for Song Banyan, the others could still see it clearly.That thing was as big as a calf, with broad cheekbones like a hippopotamus, a wide and curved mouth with sharp teeth, like a deformed wolf.It has stubby legs, hooves instead of claws, and a lizard-like tail.

Bai Xunhua helped Song Banyan up, untied the torn backpack, lifted up the hem of his clothes to look, and saw a purple-red blood spot the size of a bowl swelled up.

Song Banyan came back to his senses, and the corner of his mouth twitched in pain: "Oh...I'll fuck you..."

"Don't move." Bai Xunhua took out the ice patch from his bag, "There is no bleeding, just apply cold compresses for a while and it will be fine."

Song Banyan leaned on her shoulder with drooping eyelids: "It's a pity, the body is delicate and weak, and it's easy to fall down, and it's bad luck."

"Sister, you are lucky enough. Fortunately, this bite was on the bag, otherwise you would be like that corpse." Maowazi picked up the things scattered on the ground, and walked over holding them in his arms.

Song Banyan gave him a sideways glance: "What are you talking about, you unlucky child? There is a wooden box in the grass over there, what kind of eyes are there, hey, be careful of the talisman under your feet."

The guide ran after the black shadow for a hundred meters without seeing anything, and walked back from the forest with a cold face.He is holding the SVU sniper rifle in his hand, which is the shortened version of the SVD with no support structure. The SVD is the first specially designed military pistol in history, and it is still in service in the Russian army. It is the most convenient weapon for hunting guides.Considering that there are more emergencies in the expedition this time, the guide changed to the short-distance SVU.

The guide with the gun seemed to be a different person, cold and serious, with blazing fire in his eyes.

He said regretfully, "Run away."

"It's better to run, let's run too." Maowazi picked up the small wooden box, opened it and found that it was empty, and asked quickly, "Sister Song, there is nothing in it."

The small wooden box was obtained by Bai Xunhua in the ancient Shu cave, and there was never anything in it.After Song Banyan licked it that day, he stuffed it into his bag.

"It's just empty."

"Oh, it's all packed, let's go."

The guide grunted with his Adam's apple, suppressed his excitement and said, "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

Bai Xunhua straightened Song Banyan's clothes, got up and asked the guide, "Do you know what that is?"

The guide shook his head: "I have been hunting in Mongolia for seven or eight years, and I have never seen one before."

Bai Xunhua pondered for a while: "That thing is very similar to the An's beast I saw in the book."

Song Banyan smiled and said, "An Shi is thin? What a beautiful sustenance."

"An's Beast, also known as the Mongolian An's Beast. It has not been extinct for a long time." Bai Xunhua looked at the sky and looked into the guide's eyes. "If you don't go back, you should worry about the camp."

The guide didn't speak, turned off the insurance, and took the lead to walk in front.

The sun could not be seen, and the sky was hazy and white, making it difficult to know whether it was morning or evening.Gradually gloomy gray-blue was superimposed on the sky, and the light in the forest suddenly dimmed.The hard-soled hiking boots trampled on the accumulated leaves, making a loud and dull echo in the stagnant air.

"It didn't bleed."

The guide suddenly said something.

Maowazi stopped breathing and opened his mouth.

"Go back and talk."

Bai Xunhua's voice was calm and unhurried.

Song Banyan raised the corners of his lips: "If it comes, it will be safe. I don't know if that An's animal meat is edible, whether it is good or not, do you think it should be roasted or stewed?"

Guan Xiong walked at the back, listened to her question, opened his mouth to speak.

"Steam it? I guess the meat won't taste good if it's roasted too long." Maowazi licked his lips, "The skin of that thing is like a crocodile, I don't think it's delicious. I ate crocodile with my sister, back then... ..."

Guan Xiong closed his mouth and looked at the few people in front of him.It's like a child standing at the entrance of an alley, seeing other children licking their lollipops, and smiling contentedly along with them.

When the five climbed up the ridge and watched the bonfire rising from the camp, they all breathed a sigh of relief.The walkie-talkie also had a signal, and Bai Jimo's voice came out amidst the noise of "Kaka hiss".

"Everything is fine at the camp."

"Okay." Bai Xunhua turned off the walkie-talkie, "Let's go."

Song Banyan looks back at the valley, the vast forest under the moonlight is like an ocean of forests.Under the seemingly calm sea, there are many murderous intentions hidden.When a stone falls, it may be that the waves are raging, swallowing the sky and the earth.

The sky is full of stars, so dense, so low, hanging precariously above the head.

The huge silhouette of Mount Burkhan Khaldun stands tall and black in the boundless world like an ancient god Titan, silent, looking down, and watching with cold eyes.

The mountain wind roared, the beasts echoed, the pine forest wailed uncontrollably, and the ancient battle songs resounded and wandered among the mountains.

"Crackling."

A twig exploded in the campfire, sending sparks flying.The hot soup in the pot rolled with the rising flames, making the sound of "gulu gulu" to lure everyone.The flame flickered, flickering on and off, licking tired and solemn faces.

"Ha—ow." Song Banyan stretched his waist, rubbed his eyes and poked his head out of the tent, "Why don't you call me for dinner?"

The crowd sitting around the campfire woke up. Doctor Qin and Xi Feilan, who were in charge of dinner, served rice and soup, turned over the grill and opened the cans, and greeted everyone to eat.

Song Banyan extravagantly opened a bottle of mineral water to wash his face, walked to the campfire and sat down energetically, studying the food with great interest: "Have mushroom soup today? I like it. I want more mushrooms."

Xi Feilan filled a bowl full for her: "If it's not enough, add more."

Song Banyan smiled and said, "Thanks to the beauty."

She is the only one in the whole camp who has leisure and leisure.Even the guide, who usually talks a lot, seemed to be seduced by An's beast, and he was in a daze while holding a can of fish in black bean sauce.The rough old man Steve wiped his gun silently without saying a word, Maowazi was worried about his sister Ji Bao, and stared at the off-road vehicle with a cold face.Guan Xiong was standing beside the off-road vehicle, the sound of chanting and the smell of burning sandalwood could be heard from inside the vehicle.

Bai Xunhua closed the notebook, stood up and walked out.Song Banyan immediately picked up the bowl and followed Bai Xunhua to the back of Dongfeng warrior.

Bai Xunhua glanced at the mushrooms in her bowl, Song Banyan quickly said: "The taste is not satisfactory, you should eat."

Bai Xunhua couldn't help laughing, and his heart felt lighter: "I didn't ask you this. What did you find next to the plane?"

Song Banyan said: "I didn't find anything, but I figured out a problem. I originally wanted to find Bai Jimo. Isn't this Ji Bao's illness?"

Bai Xunhua was about to speak when he saw Maowazi standing by the campfire suddenly stood up.The two looked towards the off-road vehicle, and saw Bai Jimo open the door and come out.Song Banyan waved at him: "It's a coincidence."

Bai Jimo looked like he had just been fished out of the water, his forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, his face lacked blood, and his steps were fluttering.But his posture is tall and straight, and his bearing is not diminished.

Just as he was about to speak, Song Banyan raised his hand to stop him: "Don't be polite, just get straight to the point." She stayed with the guide for two days, and she had a taste of Beijing in her mouth.

Bai Jimo took out a towel: "Say it."

Song Banyan twitched his mouth: "You should say it. What kind of deal did you negotiate with the mentor? The strength of Xu Tianfu and the mentor's power changes, apart from Xu Tianfu's deliberate intentions, I am afraid that you are the reason."

Bai Xunhua listened to her seri's slow words, but she didn't seem aggressive, as if she didn't care as always.The corners of her mouth are naturally raised, she smiles before she speaks, coupled with her gentle appearance, she is a good-tempered girl no matter how you look at it.

Even those eyes have a warm luster.

Bai Xunhua still remembered that Song Banyan seemed to be a different person when it came to Dean Zeng, and now he never did again.Sometimes she is also faintly afraid, fearing that she will become Song Banyan's insignificant.

"How much have you lied to us?"

Bai Xunhua woke up from his trance, calmed down quietly, and waited for Bai Jimo's answer.

Bai Jimo was silent for nearly 5 minutes before slowly opening his mouth: "Bai Ye is very suspicious, and suspicious people have few openings and few helpers. This means that it is very difficult and easy to defeat him. He has lived for too long, so long that he is already very old. It is difficult to control himself. The mentor just helped me solve a few competitors."

Song Banyan smiled: "The important point."

"Bai Ye has accumulated it for many years. I have two documents in my hand. One part is about modern biological research. I gave it to Ji Xian. The other part I don't understand. It may belong to a civilization that has disappeared. I gave it to my tutor." Bai Jimo Looking at Song Banyan, he said relaxedly, "It's better to exchange a piece of bread for an expensive heirloom."

Song Banyan also looked at him, and smiled slightly: "Our grievances are wiped out."

Bai Jimo was taken aback for a moment, he couldn't believe it.He breathed a sigh of relief: "Bai Ye mentioned that since the Republic was established in Cornwall, the mentor has never left a step. Bai Ye must have investigated the Republic, but I didn't find any information. I suspect that they have a secret connection, maybe someone They are allies to a certain extent, so it is inconvenient to leave evidence even if they investigate.”

Song Banyan asked: "Has Bai Ye mentioned Xu Tianfu?"

"Bai Ye said that he is a thief if he grows old and never dies." Bai Jimo smiled mockingly, and squinted his eyes as he looked at the bonfire in the distance, "Bai Ye is different from Xu Fu, he indulges in pleasure. Blood is really amazing, We are different from everyone else, we are the same, and we are also greedy for the false temperature of this world."

Bai Xunhua snapped his fingers, and Bai Jimo was taken aback. He lowered his head and smiled, like a big boy who made a mistake and was discovered by his sister.

Bai Xunhua asked: "Mentor, Xu Fu, Bai Ye, what do they have to do with the Purple Mountain air-raid shelter?"

Bai Jimo replied: "Bai Ye never mentioned the Zijin Mountain Air Raid Shelter, I don't know more than you. But when I gathered Bai Ye's forces, I found that he had sent someone to find Xu Tianfu, but the domestic situation was turbulent at that time, and several people came to him one after another. He never returned. I don’t know if he was shot by a secret agent or by Xu Tianfu. But one thing, it seems that Xu Tianfu was protected at first, and then lost his asylum, but he disappeared. Anyway, he was never found. It's Xu Fu who takes everything in black and white."

Song Banyan fell into deep thought: "Seeing that plane today, I remembered Xu Tianfu said that when he came down from the North Korean battlefield, he was summoned by a chief to carry out the Zijinshan air-raid shelter plan."

"Do you suspect that the chief is the boss?" Bai Xunhua analyzed along the way, "If it was him, it would make sense for the Zijinshan air-raid shelter project to come to an end."

Song Banyan tilted his head: "You said, what were you researching in the Zijin Mountain air-raid shelter at that time?

"Jiuding." Bai Xunhua's tone was firm, "In those days, it was only possible for the country to invest such a huge amount of manpower and material resources at any cost and keep it secret."

Bai Jimo said, "Does that mean that there are really nine tripods? Otherwise, why did the teacher and Xu Tianfu come to Dayuan Treasure?"

What he didn't say is that there is another possibility, that is, the Dayuan treasure has been dug away by Zhu Yuanzhang, and Jiuding was buried in the Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum.Only then did the Zijinshan air-raid shelter plan come into being.

Like this, is the Trident crash a kind of providence?

How many Jiudings are there?Have you been brought out by the police?Are you still in Trident?Or has it been taken by Soviet KGB agents?

Song Banyan raised the corners of his lips: "We should have known, we would have known."

The author has something to say: An's beast: named after Andrews, the leader of the expedition.So far, only one complete skull fossil and sporadic tooth fragment fossils have been found.
