He looked into Ye Chen's eyes.
Old Shen took a deep breath and said slowly, "30 degrees north latitude is a mysterious and strange line of latitude. This area has always been a disaster area for tsunamis, earthquakes, and volcanoes."
He paused as he spoke to this point and proceeded, "What's more strange is that the Bermuda Triangle that's known as the Death Triangle, the Egyptian pyramids, the world's highest peak, Mount Everest, the Sphinx, the Yangtze River, the Nile River, and the Mississippi River are all located on this line of latitude precisely."
Di Jing could not help but interrupt upon hearing that.
Di Jing couldn't help but interject, "I've read an explanation in a book. It's said that the Egyptian pyramids were built by aliens, and this latitude line is the door to another dimension. That's why there are so many wonders."
"You can't believe everything that the book says, but you have to believe it too."
Old Shen shook his head lightly and said, "Anyway, there are many things waiting for us to explore and uncover. It's also the mission of our geographical investigation team. However, I don't think we'll be able to see it in our generation."
"Old Shen, have you ever thought that you'll realize that the world you live in is so small one day?"
Ye Chen suddenly said, "For example, humans can unlock more potential, move mountains and fill seas. They can even pursue immortality."
"You're getting more and more ridiculous."
Dai Wei scoffed, "If humans can really move mountains, wouldn't the billions of people in the world be in chaos? Besides, if everyone is immortal, will the Earth still be able to bear it? "
"Old Shen is talking about something that really exists, but you're talking about this." Di Jing shook her head.
Ye Chen smiled calmly and did not explain.
Old Shen, on the other hand, said while seeming to be in deep thought, "What Mr. Ye said is possible, but it's too far away. I've heard rumors about Kunlun before. It's said that Kunlun is the Queen Mother of the West's palace. Many mysterious things have happened in recent years. For example, someone saw a man in flames flying out of the forest with his own eyes. Also, a Tibetan Bell Goat made a bunch of lions surrender, and a female monkey gave birth to a baby boy who could talk …"
"Old Shen, someone's confused, and so are you," Dai Wei said while pointing at the mulberry.
"The legend of Kunlun is just a legend after all. The reason why there are so many rumors is purely because of the ignorance of the local people. Coupled with the media hype, it's never been proven."
"Maybe I'm really confused!"
Old Shen laughed out loud and did not continue the topic.
Ye Chen's expression changed slightly. He was interested in Kunlun. When he had returned to Earth, he had landed on the ancient altar of Mount Tai. In other words, it was the ancient altar that had led him to this realm.
Mount Tai was known as the head of the Five Sacred Mountains. For thousands of years, it had left behind too many legends. Confucius climbed Mount Tai and conquered the world. Secondly, the emperors of all dynasties had a long-cherished wish, which was to hold a ceremony on Mount Tai. For example, the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors.
Naturally, that ancient sacrificial altar had been passed down from ancient times.
Since Mount Tai was so mysterious, Kunlun, which was the number one sacred mountain in China, would naturally not be inferior.
As he was thinking about this, the sky gradually darkened, and the car entered a small town.
Dai Wei parked the car by the roadside and said after turning his head, "Old Shen, it's getting dark. Moreover, the car is running out of gas. Why don't we spend the night here and continue our journey tomorrow?"
"But is there a hotel here?" Di Jing furrowed her brows and looked around. After all, it was just a small town. She didn't think it was safe.
As if sensing her worry, Dai Wei smiled confidently. "Don't worry. Nothing will happen. Even if something does happen, you still have me, right?"
He glanced at Ye Chen and Iron Tower wryly as he spoke to this point. He said in a strange tone, "Moreover, there's Mr. Ye and his bodyguard."
"Alright then, Xiaodai. You've been driving for a few hours. You can rest for a night." Old Shen nodded and finally made up his mind.
After that, the few of them continued to look for a few more hotels, only to find that they were all full. Finally, they found a small hotel near the outskirts of the city.
There seemed to be a funeral in front of the house. There was a black and white photo hanging in the room on the first floor. The photo was of a pretty woman. Judging from her appearance, she was less than 30 years old when she died.
The hotel owner was a middle-aged man with a birthmark on his face and a mouth full of yellow teeth. He looked at Ye Chen and the rest after Dai Wei told him the purpose of their visit. He said after some hesitation, "We can let you guys stay here, but we only have three rooms left."
As soon as he said that.
Di Jing's expression changed instantly.
There were a total of five of them, including a single lady like her. How could three rooms be enough for them?
The hotel owner left a sentence for them to think about it and then left.
"It's simple!"
Dai Wei smiled and said, "I'll stay in one room, Di Jing will stay in one room, and Old Shen will stay in one room. As for Brother Ye and your bodyguard, you can sleep in my SUV if you don't mind."
Di Jing thought that the suggestion was great, but she still thought it was inappropriate, so she did not say anything at the moment.
Ye Chen took a good look at the small hotel. Just when he was going to speak, Old Shen, who was standing aside, said, "How about this? Xiaodai and Xiaodai will stay in one room, and Mr. Ye and I will stay in one room. I'll sleep on the floor."
Just when Dai Wei was going to agree to it after hearing what Old Shen said, Ye Chen suddenly said, "Are you guys sure you guys want to stay in this small hotel? If you trust me, it's best that you guys don't stay here. I'll drive, and we'll continue to the north. "
"What do you mean?"
Dai Wei thought he was complaining about the hotel, so he said with a grim expression, "It's not like you didn't see that. We've searched the entire town, but this is the only hotel we've found."
"Dai Wei, I think Mr. Ye is right too. Why don't we continue driving? We'll be fine when we arrive at the county town."
Surprisingly, Di Jing was on Ye Chen's side. She could not help but look at the mourning hall as she spoke. Her expression was rather grim. "Moreover, there's a funeral going on here …"
"So, that's what you guys are afraid of?"
Dai Wei scoffed. "Isn't it just dead people? What's there to be afraid of? I've seen countless dead people when I was a soldier. I can understand why a lady like Di Jing is afraid, but Mr. Ye, aren't you guys too cowardly to be afraid? "
Ye Chen frowned.
"Alright, Mr. Ye, Xiaodai, let's just stay here for the night. We'll depart in the morning," Old Shen decided in a straightforward manner.
Subsequently, they found the hotel owner. After paying for the room and asking for some hot water, they took the hotel owner's key and went to the second floor of the hotel.
There were not many rooms on the second floor. There were approximately ten of them. As soon as they arrived at the corridor, they saw an old lady squatting at the door of a room by the window at the end of the corridor.
There was a metal basin before the old lady. She could not stop throwing paper money into it, filling the corridor with smoke.
Dai Wei's expression changed because their room happened to be the three rooms before the old lady.
He charged over without saying anything and shouted fiercely, "Who are you? Who told you to burn paper money here? "
The old woman was startled by him. She fell to the ground and stammered, "I'm burning joss paper for my granddaughter. My granddaughter died in this room."
