In the same TV series, some people see love that goes to the ends of the earth, while others see opportunities that flash by.
Wang Jun didn't see the opportunity, but others did, so he got the opportunity - the opportunity to lead the way.
"According to what you said about the scenery, this should be the place." Wang Jun led a group of blue-eyed, high-nosed foreigners to an unnamed mountain near Mangshan. "Only here can we see Taibaiyuan of Mangshan - if it were someone else, they wouldn't know where Taibaiyuan is. You're lucky to have found me."
In the past few days, many strange expedition teams have appeared on the Beimang Mountain, hundreds of miles east and west of Luoyang City.
Beimang Mountain has been a favorite burial site for emperors and generals since ancient times. There are poems such as "Why doesn't it follow the Dongluo River? Who is buried in Beimang Mountain?" that describe this ancient burial mountain with a long history.
As a remnant of the Qinling Mountains and a branch of the Xiao Mountains, Mangshan covers a very large area. Since the beginning of the 21st century, the tombs located on it have been recognized as a national key cultural relic protection site.
Many scholars believe that there are more ancient tombs hidden in Mangshan, but due to the changes of the times, the changes of the earth veins and the addition of new tombs, the damaged ancient tombs have become ruins hidden among the rocks. There are almost no reliable instruments to detect them. If they are excavated, it may affect the existing tombs...
However, there are usually some archaeological teams in Mangshan, but it is quite rare to see so many of them as in the past few days, and there are both Chinese and foreign expedition teams.
Wang Jun's job is a local guide, responsible for taking tourists to visit Luoyang's scenic spots. He is naturally very familiar with Luoyang and its surroundings, and because of his job, he was found by the foreign expedition team behind him.
In an unfamiliar place, it is naturally easiest and most convenient to find a tour guide. Moreover, there are Xuanguo translators in foreign teams, so there is no need to worry about being cheated by unscrupulous tour guides.
But he was puzzled as to where the expedition team wanted Wang Jun to go. He had received orders from such academic teams before. Occasionally, domestic professors would bring their students to study and research the Mangshan Mausoleum, but at least they were all near Mangshan. This group of foreigners wanted to come to an unnamed mountain outside Mangshan, which was the first time Wang Jun had seen such a request.
What surprised Wang Jun even more was that not long after he brought this group of foreigners here, someone else actually came!
And it’s not just one team, it’s several teams!
"Brother Wang, you are here too?" A tour guide from Luoyang who was familiar with Wang Jun seemed to be surprised by the situation on the mountain. He came over and said to Wang Jun, "Do you want to come here for your order too?"
"Yeah." Wang Jun stamped his hands on the ground and asked in confusion, "There are not many trees or scenery here... Could they be here to look for treasure?"
"Maybe there's a big tomb down there?" The tour guide made a shovel shape with his right hand, "But even foreigners are attracted here... It's not the tomb of some emperor!"
"Stop guessing."
Another young female tour guide who had brought a group of Chinese people came over and waved her cell phone at them: "They are here to visit the holy land."
"A pilgrimage to a holy place?" Wang Jun and his male tour guide were confused. "What does that mean?"
They saw the picture on the female tour guide's cell phone, which seemed to be very similar to the scenery of this place, but also slightly different - there was a dense forest at the foot of the nameless mountain in the picture, but now the nameless mountain has become bare due to soil erosion.
"We come here to see the scenes that have appeared in movies and TV series, and take pictures as souvenirs." The female tour guide pointed at the group of investigators taking pictures everywhere on the mountain: "This is relatively rare in Xuan Country, but it is a very famous tourist attraction in Fanying. There are even tour groups that specialize in visiting places that have appeared in anime."
cartoon?
A pilgrimage to a holy place?
"So..." Wang Jun, who had some experience, pointed at the expedition members, who included old, middle-aged, young, black, white, yellow, and brown, and both men and women, and said uncertainly: "They are actually..."
"Second dimension?"
This statement was so subtle that the female tour guide couldn't help but ask: "Don't you even have access to the Internet? Look it up yourself. The TV show is called "Over My Dead Body."
Wang Jun touched his head and quickly took out his smart phone to search. It's not that he doesn't go online, but he only reads online novels like Urban Soldier King and rarely watches videos - watching videos consumes too much data, and he often goes out and can't find wifi.
Um…Over My Dead Body is a TV series that airs four episodes a day.
This speed is similar to the crudely made spy dramas in China...
After reading for a while, Wang Jun finally summed up a few key words:
Mortals, immortals, monsters, love, development, history...
There are too many factors and Wang Jun can’t understand them all.
At this time, the girl in charge of translation in the expedition team came over and said to Wang Jun: "Guide Wang, we want to go to Taibaiyuan."
"To Taibaiyuan?" Wang Jun said, "We have to go down the mountain and take a car. We can see it from here, but there is no way to get there in a straight line because of the high mountains and dense forests. We have to take a detour, and it will take at least one or two hours."
"no problem."
However, when Wang Jun brought this group of foreigners down, other teams also followed them and left. They were all getting on the bus and heading towards Taibaiyuan!
Taibaiyuan is actually an ancient place name, part of Mangshan. Except for a few locals, not many people still remember this place name. Wang Jun knew this place because he heard it from his grandfather.
However, when he directed the driver to drive to the section near Taibaiyuan, he was stopped by the traffic police on the road. There were several police cars blocking the road, leaving no space at all.
Wang Jun, who was collecting money to help people get rid of disasters, walked down and asked the traffic police loudly: "Can't I pass ahead?"
“You can’t pass!” the traffic police replied, “A criminal suspect has fled into the area ahead. This section of the road is now completely closed. You should go around it by another road.”
"Catch the criminal?" Wang Jun was dumbfounded when he saw this, so he went back to the car to explain the situation to the translator.
The female translator turned around and explained the situation to the foreigners. One of the foreigners, who looked to be in his 50s or 60s, said something, and the female translator said to Wang Jun, "Is there any other way to enter Taibai Plain?"
"If the road is really closed, then we have no way out." Wang Jun said, "Even if we take the mountain road, there seems to be an area of soil erosion in the middle, with no grass growing. We will be discovered when we pass by."
"So... I have no choice but to leave."
…
…
On a mountain not far from Wang Jun, Li Dan, whose eyes were as black as a national treasure, glanced at the vehicles stopped by the traffic police in the distance and said, "These people have really good noses... Shouldn't we keep them here?"
"No need. Most of those who can be sent here are true scholars, not practitioners." A black vest in front of Li Dan said, "The current priority is to find the Taibai Yuandi Spirit... Deputy Captain Li, please stay here for the next few days."
"No trouble." Li Dan waved his hand. "It's my duty to serve the country."
"Although the information is not confirmed to be correct, in theory, the Taibai Plain Spirit should be more easily attracted to the awakened." The black vest said: "But at most you only need to stay for a few days. If it doesn't work, the higher-ups won't waste time here..."
Li Dan smiled and continued to wander around the mountain with these people, but he couldn't help feeling a little... annoyed.
Yes, he was on pilgrimage to the Holy Land.
It's a fucking pilgrimage to the holy land for a TV series.
Or maybe he was trying to find truth in a false story.
The mountain spirits in "Over My Dead Body" are supposed to be immortal according to the TV series. Even if their spiritual veins are suppressed, they will only be forced to sleep and reappear when the spiritual energy is revived.
And now is the time for spiritual energy to revive.
Once these settings are matched, people will naturally think: Will these earth spirits appear again in modern times?
If a few awakened chuunibyou patients had such thoughts, at most they would organize a group of people to search the mountains.
However, when the whole country believes in this setting...it becomes a careful and rigorous operation.
When Over My Dead Body was broadcast, all awakened people near Tianjing were mobilized, and Li Dan was no exception. His boss Yu Kuangtu was the person in charge of Lianjiang City and had to rush back to take charge of the overall situation, so he did not participate in this operation.
There is only one goal for this operation - to find the earth spirit that appeared in "Over My Dead Body".
When Li Dan heard about this ridiculous action, his first reaction was that his head was full of water.
Does anyone believe in this kind of TV series with no director, no actors, and no producer?
But he soon came to his senses.
First, the person who posted the video, 'Renneser', already has two previous convictions. It is normal that the country would rather believe it than not.
Second, Li Dan knew Yu Kuangtu’s teacher, Ren.
When Li Dan saw the setting of the Ren family in the TV series, he thought of him almost instantly.
He seems to be the founder of the Xuan Kingdom's cultivation system and an important figure in the Reiki Research Institute. If he endorses it, the country's top leaders may really believe that the setting in "Over My Dead Body" is true.
If Ren is a descendant of the Ren family, he might be able to recreate the Ren family's earth-shaking magic.
Even Li Dan was terrified by those spells. If it could be confirmed that these spells really existed, even if there was no specific method to learn them, it would be able to point out a research direction for the Reiki Research Institute!
And if you can find the earth spirit, that would be the best way to confirm it.
Not only can they find an intelligent creature similar to humans and able to communicate, but more importantly, these earth spirits have long memories. If they really encountered the revival of spiritual veins during the Three Kingdoms period, met the Ren family, and had "spiritual communication" with these humans, they would definitely have left memories!
And with the broadcast of "Over My Dead Body", even Li Dan began to believe in the authenticity of this TV series. Ghosts, starving ghosts, demons... these enemies have gradually appeared in front of the members of the Xuanguo Countermeasures Bureau as their spiritual energy has revived.
Li Dan himself had encountered ghosts and starving ghosts, and the detailed descriptions and methods used by the Ren family to deal with these monsters in the TV series almost matched his memories one by one!
Just watching this TV series and learning how to fight monsters is already a gain!
Not to mention knowing the reasons for the formation of demons and monsters. The Ren family is weak and cannot stop them, but once the state machinery of Xuan Country is activated, it can crush the demons and monsters in their infancy!
When Li Dan couldn't sleep, he would watch Over My Dead Body over and over again, and then sigh inwardly:
"Renneser...what on earth do you want to do..."
…
…
Grass.
The screen showed the fat man turning into a handsome young man and ascending to heaven, as well as a failure prompt that read "You have been cured."
Ren Suo looked at the broken handle in front of him and fell into deep thought.
