Chapter 155: A Long Journey
The distance between S City and X City is not very long. The plane only takes more than two hours to get there. When I arrived at S City Airport, it was just dark.
To be safe, two groups of people took two cars separately.
During this short two-hour journey, the three of them have established a deep friendship, especially the expectations for wild game have exceeded 99+. Chang Hu also said that before going up the mountain, he would buy some salty salt, pepper, cumin and other seasonings in the supermarket at the foot of the mountain. If he saw their group chat information, he would probably mistakenly think that these were three high school students who were about to go on an autumn outing.
The taxi parked at the foot of the mountain. Looking around, it was hidden above the mountainside in the clouds and mist. In addition, it was already winter in this season, and just stopping at the foot of the mountain, I felt the cold air rushing.
The winery and supermarket at the foot of the mountain are very dilapidated. From a distance, it looks like a shop from thirty or forty years ago. The waiter went out directly to pour the water into the river at the foot of the mountain. A sour smell could be smelled more than ten meters away.
Gu Yun and Wang Lu entered the shop with the signature of the grocery store. The owner was an old man with a haircut like a god of fire clouds. The old man got a bowl of noodles and a newspaper was spread on the counter.
Seeing the two of them come in, they looked up at them.
“Up up the mountain?”
"Um."
"Ministry water is five yuan per bottle, steamed buns are three yuan per one, iced black tea is seven yuan, and coke is ten yuan."
You are a black store!
Wang Lu almost blurted out that the mineral water was two pieces in a normal supermarket, one piece of steamed buns downstairs, and three pieces of iced black tea and coke. The store opened more than twice as much.
At first glance, this store has everything, including steamed buns, buns, popsicles, drinks, hardware and headphones and batteries. There is no village in front of the village and the back of the store. There is only this grocery store in front of you.
This old man probably saw that there was nowhere else to buy things nearby, so he spoke so much.
"Try to spend money when you can, don't spend all the money when you are gone."
"What do you mean?"
"No other meaning. I have been opening a store here for decades. I have seen many young people go up the mountain and never come down again."
"It won't bother you, five bottles of mineral water."
Wang Lu paid 25 yuan with heartache. This money is a trivial matter. The key is that he feels unhappy when he is cheated by this old man.
In the past, he used to cheat others, so where was the turn of others to cheat him?
"Huh."
The old man took out five bottles of mineral water and put them on the cabinet, with a very unfriendly attitude.
"Give it a plastic bag."
"Plastic bags are three pieces per."
"Can you go to yours."
Wang Lu took three bottles of mineral water, asked Gu Yun to take two, and walked out the door angrily.
After a while, the three people from the "Late Night Cafeteria" gathered at the foot of the mountain, and Chang Hu's face was not very good-looking.
"I just asked, the food here is too expensive. The key is that the level is still poor. It's just that I cook the dishes from the street stalls and collect money from five-star hotels. The hotel environment is even worse. The room was out of power after 11 o'clock. I had to use water to wash and take a shower. I had to go to the stream at the foot of the mountain to take a cold shower."
I will charge another 500 yuan for that night.
The supporting facilities at the foot of the mountain are a little different from Chang Hu’s imagination. Even if Gu Yun didn’t say he wanted to take them to taste the roasted suckling pig, he really couldn’t live in such a broken store.
As the champion of the four leagues, he lives in the top suites wherever he goes.
He never treats himself badly after making so much money in the reef.
“I found a serious problem.”
Wang Lu looked solemn, "We didn't seem to have considered accommodation issues before."
The facilities at the foot of this mountain are still like this, let alone the mountain.
Yinlong Temple is located deep in the mountains, surrounded by deep mountains and forests. You have to grow vegetables and pick up water by yourself. In the room at night, let alone air conditioning and heating, you may have lost your cell phone signal when you arrive in the temple.
At that time, I will be really isolated from the world and cannot contact the outside world.
Wang Lu looked up and saw the mountain path winding, and the more you walked up, the steeper it became. The sky was hazy, and just as you looked at it, you felt a burst of yin energy.
It's a blessing for Chang Hu and Gu Yun around him, otherwise he would have to find an excuse to go home when he arrives here.
“These problems are easy to solve.”
As a wild survival expert, Gu Yun has experienced various extremely harsh environments, and it is nothing more than a little colder here. "When you get on the mountain, just follow me."
"Gu Donor Gu, Wang Donor, Chang Donor, you are the first guests to arrive. There are some things you want to remind you."
The eldest brother Chi Xin walked over and said, "At the temple, please don't leave the temple after nightfall. No matter what strange noises you hear, you must not go to the back mountain alone. Some time ago, several junior brothers who were not calm enough lost their lives."
"Is there anything unclean in the forest outside the temple?"
"That's not. It's just that after the seal of the Demon-Suppressing Tower was shaken, the beasts on the mountain became very fierce under the influence of evil spirits. The host does not want you to be attacked by the beasts."
Master Huijue gave them a few instructions on this matter before they left.
Not only the invited guests, no disciple can leave the temple without authorization at night. If the arrival time is too late, you have to stay at the foot of the mountain for one night and wait until dawn the next day before going up the mountain.
Among the guests who were invited, not everyone practiced martial arts, and there were many people with skilled skills. These people often fell into a passive position when attacked by beasts.
He had discussed with Junior Brother Chi Xin for a while, and felt that he could still arrive in the temple before it was completely dark.
"But now you may be attacked by wild beasts when going up the mountain. I wonder if you are willing to stay at the foot of the mountain for one night, or go up the mountain immediately now?"
"You mean there was a wild beast attack?"
“That’s right.”
"That's great...oh, no, I mean it's too dangerous."
When Chi Xin mentioned wild beasts, the first thing that poured into the three people's minds was not danger, but various delicacies and wild game.
After a whole day of bumpy outside, they are now a little hungry.
Since the beasts outside Yinlong Temple were so enthusiastic, they could only say that this was really a warm and could only give it a meal.
Chang Hu: I just bought all the seasonings, and I also bought some chili noodles.
Chang Hu took out his cell phone and reported quietly about the progress of his actions. After looking at the restaurant's menu that really couldn't make people feel appetite, he became more interested in Gu Yun's roasted suckling pig.
The more I think about it, the hurried I wish I could go up the mountain right now.
Gu Yun: Who did you bring the knives?
Wang Lu: I have this, and the preliminary plan is like this. After a while, we went up the mountain. We left the temple under the pretext of going out for investigation. Don’t forget to bring some water and dry food when you come out. If you only eat barbecue, you will get fed up.
Chang Hu: No problem. When I went out, Qi Le prepared some protein powder and fruit for me.
Wang Lu: Let’s bring it out together.
"Three donors, what do you think?"
"At the mountain, of course you have to go up the mountain."
