Bone phase diagrams do not just need to be simply spliced together to make a map. These nine diagrams represent the Jiuding version of Shanhaijing. The content is complex and includes various substances of landscape, animals and plants. They were originally formed independently. The painting, if Wei Dong had not discovered that some of the lines could be connected to form a big picture, no one would have imagined that there was a map hidden in it.

Now, Wei Dong uses a red pen to outline the hidden lines that can be connected. He ignores the other complicated lines that are used to cover up. He just looks at the picture drawn by the red pen. He sees the continuous mountains, among which There are rivers and valleys, gorges and abyss, like a vast expanse of mountains.

"Look at the valley in the middle," Luo Yao pointed to the valley-like line on the map, "I'm very familiar with this shape, this is the Nalingele Canyon in the Western Plains.

"A few friends and I have traveled to the West Plains by car. When we did the strategy before going there, we thoroughly studied the terrain of the place we were going to. And the reason why I am so impressed with the Nalingele Canyon is because it is surrounded by It is called the 'Valley of Death', and it also has a nickname, called... 'Gate of Hell'.

"From its name, you can know that the Nalangele Canyon is not a good place to go. There are many strange rumors about it, and that people and animals have no return after entering.

"My buddies were so daring, they drove in there, and they all ran out of fear after a while. I didn't dare to go in anyway. I heard from them that not long after I drove in, all the wireless devices disappeared. There was no signal, and the compass was out of order.

"They dared to drive in for a while, and suddenly the sound of dark clouds rolled in. They said that they had never heard such a terrible thunder in their lives, and they felt that the whole sky was pressing overhead, as if it would split at any moment. A huge thunder came and smashed them into ashes.

"They didn't dare to drive inside, so they ran out in fright. I've been waiting for them at Taniguchi. When they told me about the thunderstorm, I didn't believe it, because I was outside the valley and the sky was clear from beginning to end. It was all sunny, no wind, only white clouds, and no thunder.

"We all thought this was too weird, so we gave up the idea of entering the valley again. Later, a buddy was very curious and wanted to use the drone we brought to take aerial photos of the situation in the valley. We shared three drones in total. , As a result, the three drones lost control after flying into the valley and never flew back.

"Brothers and sisters, if this map really points to this place, I think we might have to prepare for the worst."

Luo Yu's words cast a shadow over everyone's hearts, Zhu Haowen used a notebook to search out the map of Nalingele Canyon and showed it to everyone: "Luo Yu is right, this map of Shanhaijing points to the place. It's the Nalangele Canyon."

"I also remember seeing the statement that Nalingele Canyon is one of the four no-man's-land areas in my country that is as famous as Lop Nur, and it is also one of the five famous death valleys in the world." Gu Qingqing said.

"When I was young, I went to support teaching in the Xiyuan area," Yue Cen said slowly, "I traveled around in my spare time, and I also heard rumors about Death Valley from local herders. It is said that the valley is rich in water and grass, and it is a paradise for animals, but But the herdsmen refused to enter the valley to graze.

"I also wanted to go into the valley to have a look. Unfortunately, no herdsmen were willing to lead me into the valley, and I mentioned that a geological expedition team entered the valley to investigate the valley more than 30 years ago. In midsummer, the heat outside the valley is unbearable, but a blizzard suddenly falls in the valley.

"The expedition found a herdsman's body in the valley. There were no scars on his body. When he died, he was holding a loaded gun in his hand, and his face was full of horror.

"Fortunately, the expedition came out of the valley without a hitch. It was claimed that the so-called anomaly in the valley was due to the excessively strong underground magnetic field. It is said that the magnetic anomaly in the valley is very obvious. The deeper the valley, the higher the magnetic anomaly. .

"It now seems that the magnetic anomaly there, in addition to natural geographical reasons, may also be inseparable from the event of entering the painting. I remember you said that there are magnetic anomalies in the painting of "Reboot", such as tropical and temperate zones. , the plants in the cold zone grow chaotically, then there will be traces of the occurrence of snowfall in midsummer, thunderstorms in midwinter, and failure of electronic equipment in that valley.”

"Listening to what Sister Cen said, it seems that the painting "Reboot" has already given us relevant hints." Ke Xun touched his chin and said, "Since it is certain that the map points to this Nahele Canyon , then no matter how dangerous it is, we have to go."

Luo Meng looked at him hesitantly: "Do you really have to go? We didn't set a time limit for this time, and we didn't have any tickets in our pockets, nor did anything strange happen in the past ten days... Can we not go? Or can we go in a few months at night?"

"Grandma has said that it's a blessing or a curse, and there's no way to avoid it," Ke Xun patted him on the shoulder, "Whether we go early or late, we can't avoid this trip. And I don't think the whole thing happened. This is the end of it, and the picture push will not be so kind to give us a buffer of a few months. Although there is no clear time this time, I think that once we exceed the time limit, it is likely to suffer a direct backlash, or even Maybe you don't even have an early warning. Rather than being caught off guard, it's better to take the initiative in your own hands. What do you mean?"

"I agree," Zhu Haowen said. "It should be sooner rather than later. The sooner this matter is over, the better. Even if the final result is death and no life, it is better than dragging on like this. Sudden death is better than slow death. some."

"Brother Wen'er, what you said makes me even more uncomfortable..." Luo Meng said depressedly, clutching his chest.

"I also think it's better to go earlier," Wu You said. "Taking advantage of the auspicious atmosphere of the Chinese New Year, I feel that there will be fewer demons and demons..."

Seeing that everyone has no objection, the trip to Nalingele Canyon is finalized.

"This time we go, it is very likely that we will touch the core of the whole incident," Mu Yiran said, and everyone is very clear about the implication of this sentence. Death Tour, "Be sure to be well-prepared. This time we're going straight to the drive, and I need to bring some gear, so I can't use public transportation."

"Yes, we don't have to spend many days in Nalangele Canyon, tents, bedding, clothes, drinking water, medicine, these things need to be fully prepared, we can only drive our own cars." Shao Lingdao , "Let's take a look first, who can provide a car. I have a car. Although there is no problem with running long distances, the items that can be held are limited and can only be used for passengers."

"I'll just drive my big G." Luo Yu said.

"Don't say G, let's civilize you, me and him." Ke Xun said.

Luo Yan: "..."

Everyone:"… "

"I can provide a Land Rover SUV." Yue Cen said.

"Wow, Sister Cen, so you are also an invisible rich man!" Wu You exclaimed.

Yue Cen laughed: "I'm still far from being a rich man, but my hobby is similar to that of radishes. I usually prefer to travel in the mountains and waters. I save a little money and spend it on buying a sturdy, capable car. The long-distance car and the toll ticket are on it. But I still can’t live without a wheelchair and can’t drive. I need someone to come home with me and drive the car over.”

"I'll go. I don't need to go home anyway. I can just go to your house and buy clothes." Fang Fei said.

"There's no need for the sedan," Mu Yiran said, and said to Shao Ling lightly, and then told everyone, "I'll provide two off-road vehicles, plus Sister Cen and Luo Yu's two cars, four are enough. "

Shao Ling: "..." I feel discriminated against. Can you admit that you are a boss

"We'd better discuss what needs to be prepared," Qin Ci said. "Let me prepare emergency medicines and simple medical equipment that may be needed."

"Give me the tents, blankets, stoves, and cooking utensils for camping," Luo said. "My buddies have several ready-made sets. I can borrow them from them."

"Then let me prepare the food." Gu Qingqing said quickly and actively when he saw that everyone was working hard and had something to offer.

"I'm coming too!" Wu You thought the same as her.

"I don't have anything to help you prepare. Leave the cooking to me." Li Xiaochun patted his chest.

Everyone added a few things that needed to be prepared and made a list. Everyone copied a copy, made arrangements for picking up people, agreed on the time and place of the gathering, and then disbanded on the spot. home, start preparing.

Mu Yiran didn't go back to Z City with Ke Xun because he had to prepare a car and equipment. He made an appointment to drive to pick him up when the time came, and they separated temporarily at the airport.

Ke Xun and Wei Dong returned to Z City without much delay, and immediately prepared and purchased the required items according to the list.

Ke Xun also took the time to go to a law firm and made a will for himself. The content is that if he dies, the gym will be handed over to his buddies who are not in a good family. He also bought insurance for himself. If so, the beneficiaries of the compensation are written by Weidong's parents - the old couple treated him like Weidong for so many years.

Finally, the house and all the property in the house will be handed over to the relevant departments for auction or second-hand transactions, and all the proceeds from the auction and transaction will be donated to the orphanage in this city.

Then I went home and reluctantly deleted the few T-based action movies on my computer.

In fact, apart from some simple daily necessities, there is basically nothing to deal with at home.

After Ke Xun packed up the clothes, bedding and supplies he needed to bring, he put the remaining clothes, shoes, quilts, mattresses, cleaned cooking utensils, microwave ovens and other small appliances into the cardboard box. Seal it with adhesive tape and attach a piece of paper that reads: Please transfer it to the second-hand recycling public welfare department for disposal.

The few pieces of furniture in the home, such as refrigerators, washing machines, tables and chairs, sofas, carpets and other items, are also attached with paper with the same content.

Finally, Ke Xun took out the photos in the closet, put them in the album, and stuffed the album into the luggage that he was going to carry this time.

The day before his departure, Ke Xun turned on the computer, imported all the photos stored in the computer into the mobile phone, then emptied all the hard drives, and finally logged into his Weibo and posted a blog post.

Keji has a shit shoveling officer: One of the reasons I like Weibo is that when we have to leave this world one day, it will leave traces of our existence in this world for us.

When I was bored, I once thought about what kind of epitaph should be written on my tombstone to make the last B of my life beautiful and complete.

For example, it seems from the Internet that "life is like a wave, I will disappear like dewdrops", or "forgive me, I can't get up", or learn from Marilyn Monroe, leave a measurement of your own and the size of your penis.

But it was only today that I discovered that the thousands of words I had imagined were all as light as dust in the face of death, powerless and useless.

I thought that the habit of feeding my teammates with chicken soup, beating chicken blood, and shouting some slogans that broke the table in the second index because of the love I had developed as a captain for many years would make me have a lot of things to say to myself at this moment.

However, I found that in all these rich, magical and profound languages, in the final analysis, there are only three simplest words, which are what I really want to say in my heart.

If Weibo can leave traces of my visit to this world, then I hope that the last traces I will leave for this world are these three words:

I love you.

I love you, Dad.

I love you mom.

I love you, my shit shovel, my love.

I love you.
