www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapters of Mortal Hell!

Shennongjia is now a tourist attraction. The country is divided into forest areas. The scenery is beautiful and there are many strange legends, such as "savages" and so on. It attracts many tourists to visit. The transportation network there is quite extensive. Yes, but unfortunately, it is only more convenient for ordinary people. People in Dawn simply do not dare to openly take trains or planes to enter.

Anya suspects that there will be creatures in the restricted area that will take the form of humans and work in airports, train stations and other places. If an evolved person appears, they will be discovered immediately and lead to the extermination of the restricted area.

These are all speculations, but the possibility is very high and they are by no means groundless. Although the restricted area has not been outside for hundreds of years and has not been in contact with the outside world, ordinary people live in the restricted area. They still have not deviated from the track. It is impossible to If you let the door open like this, wouldn't all the conditions obtained through the **** battle with Yunmengze and the negotiation with Liming become a piece of paper? Unless the monster in the restricted area is a fool, it is absolutely impossible to give up the rights that you have finally earned!

So, our journey into Shennongjia was quite difficult.

Li Ming’s special plane could only take us to an airport on the bank of the Han River. Then we found a large truck transporting fish on the bank of the Han River. We paid a lot of money to ask the driver to help us "smuggle" us. The driver only thought we were What kind of criminal was he? He had obviously made a lot of money, but he was still reluctant. Finally, the soldier put a sharp knife on his throat, and then he finally admitted the matter and let us get into the truck. The box was filled with the stench of dead fish. For someone like me, who has an extremely keen sense of smell, the lethality was almost the same as a poison gas bomb. I was so dizzy from the fumes that I kept sleeping in the cargo box.

We have no choice but to be cautious and not dare to leave any clues on the border crossing.

Finally, the driver took us directly to Muyu Town in the Shennongjia Forest District.

At this point, we have completely entered the Shennongjia area. To be precise, this is already the territory of monsters, but it is just a marginal area.

This place is no different from other cities, at least on the surface it looks like this. Many ordinary people live in peace and tranquility.

But it was different for us. We were cautious and didn't dare to stay in a hotel. After carefully choosing for a long time, we finally rented a house in the town and asked Xiaodouzi to confirm it more than once beforehand. However, there is no doubt that the homeowner is human.

After entering the room, I immediately washed myself. The smell of dead fish all over my body was washed a dozen times, and the eye-stinging smell finally weakened, at least it didn't make me feel like I was just a salted fish.

Afterwards, we slept in darkness, and by the time we were almost fully rested, it was already three days later.

On this day, Xiaodouzi left the house at our request and went out to inquire about news. She was young and could not easily attract other people's attention. Moreover, she practiced illusion. Her energy was very hidden and obscure, and the possibility of being exposed was very high. Small.

On this matter, I may think more profoundly than Anya. Nowadays, society is developed, and the colorful world makes even old monks chant sutras uneasy and longing for it, let alone those who have the same characteristics as us normal people. A monster with seven emotions and six desires? I'm afraid that some creatures have already come out of the restricted area, mixed in with the crowd, and are living in the town. There is no dawn guard here, and it may have been riddled with infiltration. Maybe we will be recognized when we walk on the street. Have to guard against it.

I also told Xiaodouzi not to go too far. If something happens, shout immediately and we can respond immediately.

Xiaodouzi came back quickly, bought food and brought a travel guide booklet.

"Brother Ninth, I asked many people, but no one knows about a place like Jiangshui Village!"

Xiaodouzi handed me the travel brochure and said: "Look, it is clearly written here. Shennongjia Forest District has six towns, two townships, and many villages. They are all listed, but there is no one. Jiangshui Village."

I was a little suspicious, so I opened the brochure and read it carefully, and it turned out that... there was no such village!

"Did the name change happen?"

Ji Zi wondered: "Jiangshui Village is a very important landmark. Only by finding this place and traveling westward can we possibly find the **** bee hive. The painting only said that he passed there during his lifetime and has recovered now." Decades have passed, and the country has experienced changes in political power, perhaps the name will change!"

"Xiaodouzi, please work harder and go for a run again!"

I thought about it and said: "This community is very old. I guess there are some left-behind elderly people living here. You can only ask them. Maybe you can get some clues about Jiangshui Village."

Xiaodouzi responded and hurried out.

This time she took a longer time. I waited for nearly half an hour. Finally, I couldn't sit still and prepared to go out to look for her, but she came back by herself.

"Still not."

Xiaodouzi ran out of breath and said: "I found a lot of old people. Some were not old enough and were born after the founding of the People's Republic of China. I simply gave up. Finally, I finally found a centenarian nearby. , the old woman was born in the year when the Qing Dynasty fell. She should be older than the one in the painting. She has lived here all her life, knows this place better than anyone else, and has even seen many strange things in the mountains. For example, bears who stand upright and can use tools, and savages who come to farmhouses in the middle of the night to steal chickens and dogs, she has seen all these, but she has never heard of Jiangshui Village!"

Bang!

The soldier smashed the table and said angrily: "Damn it, I was cheated! This **** in the painting did this to us before he died. I was deceived and risked my life and ran thousands of miles here, only to find him. It’s an illusory place!”

A centenarian said that there is no Jiangshui Village here, so it must be true that there is no such thing.

In other words, ordinary people don’t know at all?

I thought about it for a while, patted the soldier, and said: "Eat first, don't be in a hurry, this matter needs to be slowed down and planned slowly! I feel that the painting will definitely not have a good impression of us. But at best, it is hiding some things, hoping to make us feel embarrassed. It should not lie about Jiangshui Village. With its kind of temperament, it does not bother to lie. There is no need to go through such a big circle. After all, it is still the same in its bones. Purely, if his hatred for us really reaches the point of life and death, he will not disintegrate on his own at the last moment, but will fight us to the death, and he is determined to die anyway."

With my persuasion and persistence, the soldiers finally calmed down.

In the next few days, we almost lived in a small house in a rented house. At most, we would let Xiaodouzi go out to buy a meal during meals. Other than that, we almost never left the house.

I was thinking about Jiangshui Village and looked through the local geographical information of Shennongjia, but unfortunately found nothing.

After looking through the geographical information on mountains and rivers, I was unwilling to give in and looked for local historical records. Finally, I found a passage that interested me.

It is said that in ancient times, Emperor Shennong came to a high mountain to taste all kinds of herbs. Seeing the magnificent mountains and rivers and the beautiful trees, he concluded that there must be great medicine hidden there, so he taught the ancestors to "build a house of wood to avoid danger." , and then taught the ancestors to "build a tree as a ladder to help climb", collected more than 400 kinds of good medicine, and wrote the "Shen Nong's Materia Medica". Later, in order to return his mission to the Emperor of Heaven, he "built a tree as an altar, and straddled the crane." "Flying into the sky" and left. In order to commemorate his kindness, later generations named the mountain Shennongjia.

This is the origin of Shennongjia!

Needless to say, Emperor Shennong was Emperor Yan.

My intuition tells me that Jiangshui Village must be related to this legend!

The reason is very simple. In Chinese legends, Shaodian, a monarch of the Xiong family in ancient times, married two daughters of the Yu family as his concubines. The eldest concubine’s name was Nv Deng. Later, Nv Deng While playing, she met a divine dragon as her companion, so she became pregnant, and the child she gave birth to was called Emperor Yan.

According to legend, Emperor Yan was extremely ugly, with the head of a cow and the body of a bull, and had a bad temper. Shaodian didn't like it very much, so he raised the mother and son by the river Jiang. When Emperor Yan grew up, he was named "Jiang".

Of course, Jiang Shui, where Emperor Yan was born, was definitely not in Shennongjia, but in Baoji, Shaanxi.

I have to think more. Apart from the name, I really can't find any clues about Jiangshui Village.

"Perhaps it is a hidden village hidden in the mountains. There is no population registration. It may be small in scale and filled with all 'black households', so the locals don't know this place exists at all."

I was lying on the bed, muttering to myself: "Emperor Yan was born in Jiangshui, but he completed the most glorious feat in his life in Shennongjia, composing the "Shen Nong Baicao Jing". Is it possible that this Jiangshui village was where Emperor Yan climbed the herbal medicine? Where? In order to commemorate the achievements of Emperor Yan, this village is simply named after Jiangshui, the hometown of Emperor Yan?"

The more I think about it, the more I think it is possible.

In fact, China has a long history, and there are countless stories in various places. Therefore, place names have huge connotations, which must be related to some things in ancient times. Some local masters are not digging graves randomly. Many people pass by You can guess a lot by looking up the name of the village and looking up local historical records, and then determine whether there is a large tomb near the village.

Following this line of thought to find Jiangshui Village, my eyes lit up.

That night, I kept reading the history books of Shennongjia and stayed up all night. I went to find Xiaodouzi at dawn and asked her to find the centenarian man again.

"You don't have to ask if there is a Jiangshui Village."

I seriously asked: "Just ask that old lady which mountain in Shennongjia has the most medicinal herbs. Moreover, there are some ancient ruins on this mountain. These ancient ruins were left by the ancestors who collected herbs and are shaped like ladders! !"

Xiaodouzi nodded and left immediately.

Of course, what I told you is actually just my guess.

In fact, there are indeed some ruins in Shennongjia that are related to Emperor Yan, such as the ridge on the west side of Tianmenya. The mountains there are extremely dangerous. According to legend, it was the old site where Shennong "erected a tree as an altar and straddled a crane to fly into the sky." Now it has It was developed into a tourist attraction.

Obviously, Jiangshui Village cannot be there.

In my guess, Jiangshui Village may be the place where Shennongjia used wood as a ladder to collect herbs. That is the most important place to Shennong!

When it got dark, Xiaodouzi came back.

"Amazing!"

The little guy was very excited and jumped up and down: "Brother Jiu, you are really a god. How did you guess that there would be such a place? The old lady said that there are probably not ten people in the local area who can remember this place now. !!"

Really?

My heart beat faster, thinking that Jiangshui Village was probably nearby, so I quickly asked, "Where is this place?"
