Perhaps he was tired from the journey, and soon after crawling into the tent, Zha Wenbin fell asleep. He was sleeping soundly when he heard the mule outside suddenly bray loudly, which startled him awake, and he rushed out immediately. Outside, apart from a blazing fire, there was also Zhuo Xiong leaning against the fire dozing off. Zha Wenbin calmed down and felt around, but nothing unusual happened. He took a glance, and the two mules were quiet again.

  He patted Zhuo Xiongs shoulder, and the latter rubbed his head, saying he might be a bit tired and had fallen asleep. Cha Wenbin said you go in and rest first, Ill take over next, until the second half of the night, nothing else happened except for the mountain wind. He Yi Chao woke up to find that Cha Wenbin hadnt called him, so he took a look at the time and went out. Unexpectedly, after coming out, he was blown by the mountain wind, and Cha Wenbin also lost his sleepiness, so they simply took out a bottle of wine and started drinking one mouthful each.

  As for He Yichaos mother, Wang Furen, it was naturally a sad thing. Cha Wenbin didnt explain much, just patted him on the back and told him to be strong. He Yichao had been an excellent student in his youth and could have gone to university, but boys at that time thought military uniforms were the epitome of coolness, so he ran off to join the army. With his good physical condition, he was assigned to a unit in Tibet, which meant he had to drop out of school. Old He couldnt control him, so he just let him go.

  The hardships of the Tibetan soldiers are not what ordinary people can bear. A few years in the snowy highlands and holy lakes have made him strong physically, but he has also seen many unbelievable things. The mysterious Tibet is indeed not something that ordinary people can understand. Opening his mouth, He Yichao told Cha Wenbin about some strange things that happened to him when he was in Tibet...

  Cha Wenbin was not very familiar with the natural environment of Tibet, especially the Tibetan Buddhist things that he had heard about. He Yichao returned to his hometown after retiring from the army because he was a soldier in Tibet and was assigned to work locally. He could have become a civil servant, but due to his relationship with He Lao, he was forced to join an archaeological team, and thus started this career. Fortunately, He Lao was an expert himself and had personally trained him for two years, so he gradually became an expert in the field. Since he was physically strong, he was often assigned by the organization to work in harsh environments.

  Unconsciously, it was already daylight. Looking at the extinguished bonfire, the two of them exchanged a smile, and unexpectedly felt a sense of regret for not meeting earlier. After preparing breakfast, they went to wake up everyone else. If the air in Qingcheng Mountain is good, then this place is simply filled with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. The few people who got out of bed breathed in the air between the mountains, and suddenly felt refreshed, washing away the fatigue of last night. Old Wang stretched his waist, twisted his neck, and went to exercise by the mountain edge. He had this habit for a long time. Suddenly he shouted loudly: "My goodness, you guys come and take a look!"

  The small village that was still under the moonlight last night has disappeared, replaced by rolling clouds and fog. Everyone seems to be standing on a cloud, with a high mountain in the distance, vaguely visible, piercing through the sky. Coldly, he clapped his hands and shouted: "Wow, this is simply a paradise on earth! Its too beautiful!"

  Old Wang looked at Cha Wenbin and said: "The weather has been very strange recently, last night there was no rain, how come there is such a big fog here?"

  Cha Wenbin was also shocked by the scene in front of him, and it took half a day for him to murmur: "Gathering the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, enjoying the essence of the sun and moon, riding on cloud energy, commanding flying dragons, not eating five grains, absorbing wind and drinking dew; I didnt expect that apart from Kunlun Mountain, San Shen Mountain, Da Fang Mountain and other mountains, there would be such a wonderful place in the world. Its really unknown which immortal discovered this cave heaven..."

  The mountain is shrouded in mist, and nothing can be seen below. Its impossible to go down the mountain for now. After waiting for a while until the grass has finished eating its breakfast, with the first ray of sunlight shining through, unexpectedly, it brought about tremendous changes here.

  When the sunlight shines on the clouds and fog, a magnificent rainbow appears, spanning the entire basin, like a celestial bridge. At this moment, everyone is standing at one end of the bridge, while the other end leads directly to the vaguely visible Mount Emei!

  "Rainbow Bridge..." Zha Wenbin was about to go crazy, if the clouds and fog at dawn were the sky, then wasnt this rainbow just a Rainbow Bridge? Whats on the other end of this bridge? Zha Wenbin couldnt wait to get down the mountain, he grasped for a lifeline...

  As the sun rose, the clouds and fog churned even more violently, already starting to roll towards their campsite. In an instant, they were enveloped in a vast expanse of white mist, unable to see each other, and could only rely on sound to distinguish one another.

  "Everyone stay where you are and dont move, the visibility is poor. If one foot slips and falls off, even a god cant save you. Lets wait until the sun comes out more and disperses the fog, then it will be fine."

  Everyone had to sit on the ground, and after a while, water started dripping from their hair, showing just how thick the fog was. To prevent any accidents, Cha Wenbin took roll call every 5 minutes to check on everyones situation. Fortunately, apart from the heavy fog, there were no other issues. An hour later, the suns power began to show itself, and slowly, things became visible again. By the time the fog had completely cleared, two hours had passed, and everyone looked like they had been soaked through. Especially that girl, who was already wearing very little, her perfect figure was now on full display, causing a blush to rise to her cheeks. Fortunately, there were some camouflage uniforms in their bags, which everyone except Cha Wenbin changed into.

  Here is the translation:

  I came to the cliff again, and at this moment, the clouds and fog had all dispersed. The village under the moonlight last night was now fully revealed. I took out my binoculars and got a clear view: its a village with over a hundred households. From afar, the houses were built with wood, topped with self-made earthen tiles. The entire village is centered around a well in the middle, but theres one thing - no matter from which angle you look at it, this seemingly transparent village always has a part thats blocked by other trees or houses. You cant see the whole picture no matter how hard you try. It seems like someone did it on purpose, but its hard to say for sure.

  Zha Wenbins mind quickly turned over various classics, formations, feng shui, and directions, but he couldnt connect them.

  After preparation, according to the memory provided by Zhuo Lao Han, they found a small mountain road not far from the campsite, winding down to the valley.

  This is a road that has not been walked for decades, with thorns and wild grass everywhere. Only Zhuo Xiong and He Yi Chao can open the way in front with machetes, plus the slippery ground, making progress extremely slow. When they went down to Bai Lai Mi, several times people and mules almost got into danger, and they could only move forward cautiously, one pulling another.

  Another 50 meters down, the ground began to show no obvious muddy roads, the soil started to dry up, except for some unknown flowers and grasses, there were also no trees blocking the way.

  "Are you saying that this fog only exists at the top and doesnt appear below?" Old Wang asked, looking at Cha Wenbin.

  "Probably so, you see the lower we go into the valley, the shorter the vegetation gets. It seems like weve gone from a dangerous place to a safe one. This village is quite strange, lets all be careful!"

  He Yi Chao and Zhuo Xiong listened, checked the guns, one led the way, one brought up the rear, Cha Wen Bin was in the middle, and after walking for another hour, the terrain gradually became flat, it seemed that they were already close to the bottom of the valley.

  Along the way, except for a few butterflies flying by occasionally, not even a single mosquito was seen. Although it was in the midst of high temperatures at this time, the valley below was cool and refreshing. However, the safer the place is, the more dangerous it tends to be, so everyone proceeded with caution, not having the leisure to appreciate the scenery, only thinking about hurrying to the village as soon as possible. After another hour or so, they finally arrived at the entrance of the village. Two stone horses had been worn by time and were somewhat blurred, while two stone men stood beside them, majestic and solemn, like the guardians of the village, warning people not to be lazy. The archaeologists immediately came to life upon seeing this, especially Old Wang and He Yichao, who rushed towards the stone statues with excitement.

  The stone man and horse were built exactly like the real thing, Old Wang studied for half a day and said that judging from the stone material, this should be granite, so it can withstand thousands of years of wind and rain and still be preserved in such good condition. The stone mans body shape is roughly the same as that of an ordinary person, except that his head is square and rectangular, with a pair of eyes that are surprisingly large, giving off a postmodern art feel. From the clothing, it should be ancient Ba-Shu people without a doubt, but Old Wang couldnt determine the specific era for the time being. He asked He Yichao to take pictures from various angles, and in an instant, the two of them became engrossed in their passion for archaeology, leaving Cha Wenbin and others to rest by the side of the road.
