Edge of Pure Land

Chapter 117 The mystery of the holy mountain and the strange car accident

Cullinan bumped along the narrow path. Lu Fuji's thoughts were suddenly interrupted. He couldn't help but ask one more question: "Your father, did you dream about Metanzo?"

 Sounds a bit evil.

 Chen Jing crossed her arms and narrowed her eyes and said, "Yes, later my father recalled the dream and said that he heard the adult calling for help."

 “Help?”

 “Well, Metanzo kept repeating something.”

Chen Jing paused: "Help me, help me..."

Hmm, it’s even more permeable.

Lu Buer frowned and analyzed: "This means that Metanzo was not actually missing, but was trapped in the Holy Mountain. Because of this, Linhai City organized several searches and rescues of the Holy Mountain. Action. After all...Medanzo is too important to this world?"

Chen Jing pouted: "Theoretically, this is true, but if you really get to know the former Grand Priest, you will know that this is impossible. It is impossible for Metanzo to call for help from anyone, because he is too Proud. Not only Metazord, but everyone in their era lived with great pride and glory. He was the one who had fought against the gods alone. He was above the Ninth Crown Realm and was comparable to a god. . Even if there is an opponent that he cannot defeat, he will choose to die together. He will choose other methods, but it is absolutely impossible to ask for help."

"When this matter reached the headquarters, it also caused an uproar. Everyone thought it was impossible. With Lord Metanzo's character, he would never ask for help. The simplest logic, if something, or someone Even Metazord can't defeat this enemy, can anyone else?"

Chen Jing raised two fingers: "At that time, the previous monarch Constantine was dead, and the previous emperor Gong Yu was no longer here. Who could save him?"

Lu Fuji thought for a while: "That makes sense."

Although it is difficult to judge Metanzo's character, the simplest logic can be deduced. Even an evolver of that level cannot solve the problem, and others will die if they come over.

 So this is also the biggest suspicion of the whole incident.

“It’s just that Metanzo is too important to this world.”

Chen Jing said in a deep voice: "Even if it is a trap, we must find out. The so-called politicians don't care about sacrificing human lives. So what if it takes a city, they must determine what is in the holy mountain. Constantine Why did Metanzo rise in the past, and why did he want to enter the Holy Mountain? All the secrets are in the Holy Mountain. This is a fatal temptation for them. "

Lu Fuji nodded slightly: "Is it because of this that the Russell family is suspected? After all, Constantine is dead, so the Russell family is the most suspicious."

Chen Jing sneered: "It's not just the Russell family."

Lu Fuji raised his eyebrows: "What do you mean?"

The old driver parked the car on the side of the road and said in a deep voice: "We are here."

Dongshan was slightly startled: "Abandoned Factory Street?"

We have reached the outer suburbs of Linhai, about six or seven kilometers away from the underground streets. The city's heavy and light industries are basically concentrated here. The low-rise old buildings still retain the style of five hundred years ago, even after countless maintenance. It still smells of staleness.

 As long as there is no war, these old buildings can be preserved through maintenance.

There are still many old houses left over from the Ming Dynasty in Beijing today. They are still habitable after being maintained, and people still live there.

Lu Buer was very kind to these old buildings when he saw them, which reminded him of the good times of his childhood. At that time, he would carry his schoolbag after school, often buy a few bags of snacks from the shop downstairs, and run in the corridors where light and darkness were separated. , you can see the dust flying in the sun, and the aroma of cooking comes from next door.

It's really rare to see a Cullinan in a place like Waste Factory Street. Grocery buyers in the busy market all cast curious glances, especially when they saw the young lady getting out of the car.

 People’s temperaments are different.

 Some people can smell the evil smell of money just by looking at it.

Chen Jing breathed in the exhaust fumes released by the tricycles on the roadside. She did not show any displeasure like an ordinary young lady, but felt nostalgic: "Abandoned Factory Street, my father often took me here when I was a child. I worship my ancestors here, but I haven’t been back for more than ten years.”

She looked at the children in the kindergarten after school, walked past the fruit stalls on the roadside, passed the auto repair shop covered with water, looked at the signboard of Lanzhou Ramen, a 500-year-old brand, and smiled.

 Then I went to the roadside and bought a bottle of Wahaha.

 This is a 500-year-old brand.

“Since I miss you so much, why don’t you come back and see me?”

 Lu Fuji also bought a bottle of Wahaha: “It’s not far from here.”

Chen Jing was silent for a second: "Because my father doesn't allow it."

  Lu Fuji raised his eyebrows: "What do you mean?"

Chen Jing had a trace of confusion in his eyes and said softly: "During the time when my father had an accident, he suddenly told me one day that if something happened to him one day, I should not explore the cause of his death. Don't explore the origin of the family. Don’t go back to Waste Factory, don’t become an evolution.”

 She paused: "Don't explore the Holy Mountain."

  Lu Fuji frowned: "Why is this?"

Chen Jing said calmly: "Because this will bring misfortune to me. As long as I am an ordinary person who knows nothing, I can grow up safely."

Lu Fuji probably understood: "Oh, your ancestors were kidnapped, and your father was kidnapped, all because they knew something... but you were still kidnapped."

Chen Jing had a dark face and said nothing.

The Chen Group initially started off by relying on groundwater, so they came to an old water plant, which had long been contracted to surrounding residents, and the environment was quite acceptable.

The old water plant is located against a hill, and there is an old mansion on the side of the hill.

New buildings have been built nearby, but this mansion is alone here. It looks like a house with nails in it. It is quiet and dilapidated, and there are dead trees and crows.

"This place was originally going to be demolished, but I secretly bought this land. In fact, few people know that this is my family's ancestral home. The real estate information can't find anything to do with it. What does it have to do with me? My father used to They all brought me here secretly.”

Chen Jing stood in front of the yard, her long dark red hair swaying in the wind: "This old house is actually more than a hundred years old, and not many people in my family live here."

 The old driver took out the key and opened the yard gate.

Lu Buer was stopped just as he was about to go in.

 “Me first.”

Dongshan said in a deep voice: "It may be dangerous."

 The middle-aged man entered the yard after finishing speaking.     I won’t give you any chance to fight.

 The yard is full of weeds, and creepers hang down from the roof.

There are spider webs on the windows.

 Dongshan and the veteran driver opened the road together and opened the dusty door.

 The dust rushed into the face, choking and making people cough.

I didn’t expect that an old house that had been unoccupied for so long would still have electricity.

 This is thanks to the changes in the times.

If you find an old house that is more than a hundred years old in the 21st century, it is actually very difficult to have anything intact, and you will most likely find nothing.

  But this is the twenty-sixth century.

 Even more than a hundred years ago, technology was sufficiently developed.

When the light illuminated the dark room, what they saw was an ordinary living room, nothing special except that it was dusty.

 No, that’s not right.

 The first thing Lu Fuji saw was a photo hanging in the living room.

 A very special photo.

 It’s not about how special the photography style is.

 It’s the people in the photo.

There are many people in that photo, the most conspicuous one is a white-haired young man in military uniform. His appearance is nothing special, but his eyes are as deep as the stars in the universe, especially the blue pupils, which are like reflections of the starry sky under the sea. Hug it to your chest.

 There was a young man with blond hair putting his arm around his shoulders and grinning.

There was also a burly soldier with a serious face.

Accompanying him are doctors in white coats and elegant young men in suits and ties.

 They took a group photo in front of a huge library, smiling brightly.

  There is a line of text written under the photo: "In the year 402 of the New Era, the Brotherhood was in Linhai Library."

 “That boy is…”

 Lu Fuji hesitated for a second.

 “Previous monarch, Constantine.”

Chen Jing skillfully pointed at everyone in the photo: "The blond man is the first generation head of the Russell family, Bertrand Russell. The burly soldier is my ancestor, Chen Lan. The doctor in the white coat is Qixing The founder of Pharmaceuticals. The young man in a suit and tie is the original chairman of Morgan Group, Kate Morgan.”

Lu Fuji stared at the photo and frowned: "Brotherhood?"

Chen Jing hummed: "In that era, evolutionaries may not all serve in the military. Some people were outside the military system. They would form teams in the city, and then go on adventures in the forbidden areas of life together. Constant Din was born in an ordinary family in London. After his family was attacked by the White Walkers, he became an orphan and wandered around various places of the dead with the expedition team.”

Lu Fuji nodded slightly: "Oh, I am traveling with you."

 God is so with us.

Chen Jing rolled his eyes: "Have you ever heard of the story of the previous monarch?"

Lu Fuji thought for a while: "What did Constantine get in the Holy Mountain?"

 “Well, I know a lot.”

Chen Jing nodded slightly: "I heard from my father that the people of the Brotherhood were looking for the Holy Mountain at this time. They searched in the restricted area of ​​life for a long time without any results, and finally came to Linhai City, or Shengen City, inexplicably. They stayed in this city for a long time, and finally found clues based on some information left before the era. "

 Lu Fuji captured the key point: "Before the Era?"

"The Brotherhood at that time believed that neither the appearance of the sacred tree nor the drastic changes in the world were formed in an instant. In the long history, there have long been evolvers, but for some reason, they collectively Dead. The ancient myths passed down from various countries are precisely the clues left by them. There are not a few people who have this idea for five hundred years. "

Chen Jing explained: "In the past five hundred years, there have been many people who are determined to explore the truth, and the Brotherhood is one of them. According to my father, the Brotherhood was mainly pursuing traces of Aurora's technology before the era, and finally found its way to Linhai. The city found relevant clues.”

　　Shika Fuji was stunned for a moment.

"My father doesn't know the specifics. He just heard that Aurora Technology explored various ancient ruins around the world after returning from the Arctic. They made very amazing discoveries in these ancient ruins. There is only one ancient ruin, but it has not been found yet.”

Chen Jing pursed her lips: "That is an ominous place. The researcher responsible for exploring this place died in an extremely strange car accident. That place is called the Holy Land, and there is another name called...Holy Mountain. Constantine found The treasure map is exactly what they left behind!"

Lu Fuji’s brain suddenly exploded.

Huge fear flashed across his eyes.

 Car accident!

 Wrong.

 An extremely bizarre car accident.

 “What are the names of the researchers?”

 He twisted his neck stiffly, his eyes seemed to have seen a ghost.

"how could I know?"

Chen Jing pouted: "Constantine may know that it was precisely because of the exploration of the Holy Mountain that he determined to pursue the position of the Holy Monarch. Because many things before the Era have been sealed up by the Holy Religion of Akasha and became A taboo that no one can touch.”

 She said softly: "Only the Holy Sovereign is qualified to have contact."
