Chapter 539 Someone Comes First

Meng Qiongyun explained: "Although there is a map, there are only routes on the map, and there is no specific situation in the mountains. The local people know where to go and where the danger is. Many of them rely on People in Kunlun Mountain collect herbs for a living, wandering around the mountain all year round, and they are very clear about any changes in the mountain."

Rong Guocheng said in a low voice: "I heard that these local people regard Kunlun as a holy mountain. Can you take us in easily?"

"The climate here is harsh, and many crops cannot grow. Collecting herbs is their main source of income. It is precisely because the mountain is the basis of their survival that they respect Kunlun. They do have many taboos about entering the mountain. Some things cannot be done. If we do it in the mountains, we can't desecrate the gods in the mountains, and if we don't violate their taboos, nothing will happen."

"So, it's not difficult to find a guide?"

Meng Qiongyun smiled slightly, nodded, and said: "As long as the price is high, the locals are still willing to be guides. After all, what they usually do is to go into the mountains. This time, they just brought a few more people."

Tang Feng looked at him and asked, "You said last time, only you and one other person survived, so did the guide you invited also die?"

If the locals had a precedent of following an expedition team into the mountains, the guide might be hard to find.

Meng Qiongyun waved his hands again and again, and said: "He just sent us to the agreed place, so he didn't think about going inside, and went back first. In fact, these people usually don't go too deep into the hinterland of the mountain, they just collect herbs on the outskirts of the mountain. It is said that they are afraid of disturbing the spirit of the mountain, and I think the main reason is because they are afraid that the mountain is too dangerous."

Only then did Tang Feng let out a "huh".

"Isn't that the place we are going to, and the guide can't take it with us?" Lin Mengjia couldn't help asking.

Meng Qiongyun hurriedly said: "As long as he takes us to the standard position on the map, I will know the way ahead."

While several people were talking, Meng Zhong also entered the room.

His complexion was not very good, and as soon as he entered the door, he immediately said: "I inquired in the village, and the herb picker who is the most familiar with the mountain roads and the most agile in their place was given to him two days ago. Hired away, already entered the mountain."

"Someone advanced into the mountain?" Rong Guocheng looked at Meng Zhong with a bit of inquiry in his eyes, hoping that he could explain in more detail.

Meng Qiongyun frowned, and asked Meng Zhong, "Who are those people?"

"The people in the village said that there are more than a dozen of them, all of them are adult men, aged between 25 and 40, they carry very professional equipment, and they seem to have good skills. traveling friends or mountaineering enthusiasts.”

Meng Qiongyun took a deep breath, worry appeared on his face, and said: "I don't know who it is, but it is in front of us."

Meng Zhong continued: "The locals say that now is not a good time to enter the mountains. This season, avalanches often occur. No matter how high the price is, they usually won't enter the mountains."

"It seems that those people paid a high price, right?" Xiang Chuan couldn't help muttering, "There must be a brave man under a heavy reward, or else, let's offer a high price too?"

Meng Zhongdao: "The other people in the village don't know exactly how they talked about it, but everyone guessed that those people must have paid a lot of money, and they were generous. The night they stayed in the village, Give a lot of money to the people who stay there."

Meng Qiongyun's eyes were even more worried. He looked at Tang Feng and said, "Even if there is no best guide, we should find one for ordinary people. Their understanding of Kunlun Mountain must be better than ours. .”

"No one knows Kunlun better than members of the Changsun family." Changsun Ying said suddenly.

Her words sounded like she was showing off, but she lowered her eyes, and there was no pride on her face, on the contrary, there was a bit of sadness.

Meng Qiongyun was at a loss for words for a while, looking at Changsun Ying, he didn't know how to continue.

The others were also a little puzzled, and they all focused their eyes on Changsun Ying.

On Changsun Ying's face, there was a self-deprecating wry smile, and she said: "People in the Changsun family will also go to Kunlun every year, and they know the path in the mountain well, but so what? No return."

Tang Feng heard her talk about those things in the family, understood the meaning of her words, nodded, and said: "Forget it, even if you are looking for a guide, you can't accompany us into the depths. If something happens, it will be a If it’s a drag, it’s just us who go.”

Meng Qiongyun wanted to say something else, but Tang Feng waved his hand to stop him, and he could only swallow the words that came to his lips.

Zixuan agreed with Tang Feng's words very much, nodded and said: "The villagers are ordinary people after all. We may not be able to pass the roads they can't walk. We just follow the map. If there are any changes, we will think about changes when we encounter them. , there must be a way for the car to reach the mountain, so there is no need to worry so much."

Now that it was decided in this way, other people would naturally not have any objections. They followed Tang Feng in the first place, and of course they did what Tang Feng said.

Lin Mengjia couldn't help but asked Tang Feng softly: "Will those people who came before have any conflicts with us?"

Tang Feng didn't answer, but frowned slightly.

At this time, he was also thinking about this matter.

Rong Guocheng hurriedly said: "I guess it is the expedition team. I chatted with the villagers just now. They said that people often come here and enter the mountain from here. Especially in recent years, Kunlun has also become a place for Internet celebrities to check in. Few people come here from thousands of miles in order to post a circle of friends."

Wang Lihui echoed: "Yes, I am really convinced by these people. Such a long journey will take at least three to five days. The cost of the journey and the purchase of professional equipment cost a lot of money. Walking around the mountain, posing for some photos, and then heading back home, it’s really good to be idle.”

Lin Mengjia still looked at Meng Zhong thoughtfully.

Meng Zhong thought about it for a while, and said: "The villagers who have seen them all say that these people are different from those amateur explorers."

"Ma'am, don't think too much about it. Places like Kunlun Mountain are also quite attractive to some professional teams. They just came around the same time as us, just a coincidence."

Rong Guocheng still felt that these people had nothing to do with him.

After talking for a while, they all looked at Tang Feng, waiting for him to speak.

Tang Feng was noncommittal, and only said: "Rest early, get up early and set off tomorrow."
