Rebirth 81: Being forced into marriage by my sister’s best friend at the beginning

Chapter 2540: Kunlun-like

Xu Ning said, "I actually want to take you around this valley, but I've never been in before, so I can't be of much help. I'm sorry."

"It's okay." Lin Ran nodded. What Xu Ning said still provided him with a lot of clues.

The valley in front of you is called Death Valley, and the mountain in the distance is called the Holy Mountain in their tribe.

There must be some legend about it.

Lin Ran asked Xu Ning to tell the story he had heard. He was not afraid of any fictitious elements and could not miss any clues that might provide information. Now he was afraid that there was no information and could not miss even the clues.

Fortunately, although Xu Ning has been away from the tribe for so long, he has a deep memory of this story since he was a child. His language expression skills are not very good, but he still describes the situation clearly.

After listening to his story, Lin Ran suddenly thought of the legend of Burma.

In that country, there are similar rumors.

When Xu Ning was a child, I watched a team enter the Holy Mountain to explore, because someone once picked up a special kind of jade in the Holy Mountain. Their tribe used to make a living by hunting. After discovering the jade, they The idea of ​​​​turning into business came about because some tribes around them relied on jade to integrate into modern life.

They thought it was a lucky thing, but what happened next made them realize that trouble was coming.

Xu Ning couldn't tell what the specific matter was.

"Then the search team that went into the mountains was nowhere to be found?" Lin Ran asked.

"Yeah." Xu Ning said, "But other people in our tribe did some research and didn't enter the holy mountain, but they discovered some patterns."

The first situation is that regional climate phenomena, especially lightning and heavy rains, often occur near the Holy Mountain.

This situation almost always occurs within [-] kilometers of Death Valley. You can often see thunder clouds as if they are adsorbed above the canyon, releasing lightning below, while other places have clear skies.

Because they had almost zero knowledge of geography, some professionals were also invited to conduct research.

Experts at the time mentioned that the river near Shangshan can be traced back to ancient times. It seems to be a kind of magnetic rock. It is precisely because of the existence of this rock that thunder clouds will be attracted to the vicinity. This situation will cause A large amount of lightning struck into the water.

The reason there are no big trees in this area is because it is frequently struck by lightning.

Experts at the time advised them not to graze cattle nearby because the magnetic field here was particularly vulnerable to lightning, and humans and sheep were easy targets.

"Do you have any insights about the missing body?" Lin Ran asked.

I had seen Xu Ning see a yak that had been scorched by electricity before, but he didn't find it scary at all.

"It should have sunk into the river." Xu Ning said, "This river sounds very strange. Ordinary and drowned people or animals will float on the water, but this river is different. If it sinks, Once you enter the river bottom, you will be entangled in the water plants inside and the bottom will be like a swamp.”

"Experts at the time seemed to say it was related to permafrost, but I couldn't quite understand it."

Lin Ran was enlightened by Xu Ning's words. He said he didn't understand, but his memory was pretty good and he could remember even these details.

If it was really frozen soil, no wonder the bodies disappeared.

The frozen soil below has long since turned into a swamp. Once it sinks in, it will be swallowed up immediately.

No wonder there are no bodies, Xu Ning will tell them that this river is dangerous.

It was right that he did not choose to cross the river directly before, because if he came into contact with the bottom of the river, he would probably be swallowed by the swamp below. Sure enough, he should still take the mountain road.

Lin Ran had already gotten the answer he wanted and was analyzing it in his brain.

Huang Hao and the others were not interested in this scientific knowledge. They were more concerned about other legends about the Holy Mountain.

"Didn't anyone who went in to explore come out alive?"

"Not in my impression." Xu Ning said seriously, "This is not to fool other people, but we have all seen with our own eyes that none of the uncles who entered Death Valley returned to our tribe. They have The tribe is very loyal and there is absolutely no way they would abandon us and his children.”

"Well, I don't doubt that they escaped." Huang Hao felt that he seemed a little rude, so he immediately changed the subject and said, "What I am more concerned about is..."

Recalling the corpse hanging from the tree that I saw before entering the canyon.

I can’t remember exactly how the body was dressed, but it suddenly disappeared after the lightning.

It is impossible to say that the body was directly charred by electricity. Not even some charcoal was left, but suddenly disappeared. They are not easy to fool.

"This is unclear." Xu Ning said, "The legend of Death Valley is very famous in our tribe. I know that it is definitely not that simple. I can't explain the reason."

"Maybe this is a curse." Xu Ning said pessimistically.

He also grew up listening to these legends since he was a child, so he has always been very afraid of supernatural phenomena.

Lin Ran also recalled the previous situation, and there was also frozen soil underneath.

If it was said that after the lightning fell, the branches were broken, and then the body was quickly swallowed up by the swamp formed by the frozen soil, then everything can be explained.

"Have you ever dug around? I think it's quite flat here, so it should be suitable for planting. Have you ever come here to reclaim it?" Lin Ran asked.

"How is that possible? Our main purpose is grazing." Xu Ning replied, "And we all know that Death Valley is not that simple. No one wants to stay here."

Lin Ran vaguely felt that it was not such a coincidence that they came to the place where Xu Ning once lived and to Death Valley.

The situation nearby had been explained clearly, but Lin Ran still felt that some of the explanations were unreliable.

But he did not continue to say anything. It is not certain whether this is the Death Valley he once knew, not to mention that there are many phenomena in the world that cannot be explained by science.

In fact, there is nothing wrong with having a little knowledge. With a general explanation, they can move on.

Based on the clues provided by Xu Ning, Lin Ran had a guess in his mind.

Could this be the legendary Kunlun Mountain?

It doesn't look like much in appearance, but all the descriptions just mentioned refer to this mountain in Xia Zang District.

With this inference and thinking about the words he saw on the stone earlier, Lin Ran felt a little overwhelmed.
