Chapter 173 Physics Mist

The plane slowly took off with the deafening sound of the engine, but Wang Ran and others were not on the plane.

In the last minute before takeoff, Wang Ran suddenly thought that he could buy a better aircraft from the World Hub to shorten the eight-hour flight.

"Tie up the family!"

"Too sci-fi!"

Bai Fan looked at the aircraft in front of him in amazement.

This aircraft is called a water drop, but unlike the water drop in "The Three-Body Problem", this water drop has almost no combat capability. The only feature is that it flies very fast.

Its cruising speed in the Earth's atmosphere is ten times the speed of sound.

This means that it only takes half an hour to complete the eight-hour flight of a civil aircraft.

"Don't look at it, come on up."

Wang Ran opened the passenger cabin of the aircraft.

This aircraft is a fool-proof operation.

Load the map before use, and then just click on the place you want to go. The small laser launcher on the aircraft can also clear the flying birds encountered along the way.

At Wang Ran's call, everyone got into the water drop.

This is an aircraft designed for extraordinary people. The terrifying acceleration is enough to kill any ordinary person in an instant, but for them it is like a breeze.

Half an hour later, they arrived at Kunlun Mountain.

"Has the fog in Kunlun Mountain always been so heavy?"

Yiya leaned against the window in confusion.

Looking down from a high place, the gloomy fog enveloped the entire Kunlun Mountain Range, and even covered other places near the mountain range.

They couldn't see Kunlun Mountain at all.

"No."

Master Er took out a tablet and showed Yiya a photo of Kunlun Mountain. He explained, "Although Kunlun Mountain is surrounded by clouds and fog all year round, the visibility under normal circumstances is very good." The

Kunlun Mountain in the photo has a clear sky and the brown mountain is clearly visible, which forms a sharp contrast with the Kunlun Mountain that is now buried in fog.

Master Er said, "This summer is hotter than in previous years. The snow on Kunlun Mountain has melted, and the flow of several rivers downstream has increased greatly, causing floods and disasters, which once blocked the traffic near Kunlun Mountain."

Yiya nodded in confusion.

"When did the fog appear?"

Wang Ran asked.

He had seen the fog in Kunlun Mountain during the simulation, and there was spiritual energy in the fog.

He thought it was the clay sculpture that did it, but the fog appeared at this time, so it had nothing to do with the clay sculpture.

The Second Sect Leader replied respectfully: "Two days ago, that's when the tour group had an accident."

Wang Ran showed a thoughtful expression.

The tour group had an accident when he was exploring the mysteries, so the fog in Kunlun Mountain had nothing to do with the clay sculpture, but it was probably related to him.

At the end of the exploration, the God of Wealth broke the stone statue and released green smoke. He still doesn't know what the green smoke that was released was.

But if it was the green smoke that caused the spiritual energy to revive, it

is completely understandable.

After all, the God of Wealth is the only "returning" god. He found that the earth had entered the Dharma Ending Age, so it was reasonable for him to do something to save it.

"These are not ordinary mists."

Taoist Ji'an said in surprise, "This is spiritual energy, yes, it must be spiritual energy!"

The water drop aircraft has a good ventilation system. At this moment, it was suspended above Kunlun Mountain and automatically inhaled some mist, which made Taoist Ji'an feel it.

"What is spiritual energy?"

Yiya asked in confusion.

Taoist Ji'an said excitedly: "Aura is the foundation of cultivation! It can strengthen the body, strengthen the spirit, help those with strong bloodlines awaken extraordinary talents, and can also be stored in the body as energy to drive spells!"

"In ancient times, extraordinary people all used aura to fight!"

"But after the mythological era, aura has been declining, and it was almost gone by the Qin Dynasty!"

"Incredible!"

He leaned against the window and muttered to himself: "Where does the aura of Kunlun Mountain come from?"

Wang Ran remained silent.

He controlled the water droplet aircraft to hover over the Kunlun Mountains and used the mapping instrument on the aircraft to explore the terrain of the Kunlun Mountains.

"Sir!" Master II said respectfully, "I have found the ancient temple in Kunlun Mountain that you asked me to look for."

Wang Ran asked without raising his head, "Where is it?"

Master II replied, "It is halfway up the Gongger Peak, 4,247 meters above sea level. It was discovered in the 1980s, and the date of construction and the identity of the builder are unknown." Gongger Peak

is the highest peak in the Kunlun Mountains, with an altitude of 7,719 meters, 800 meters higher than the second highest peak in the Kunlun Mountains.

Wang Ran piloted the aircraft to the sky above Gongger Peak.

He looked out the window.

He found that the fog near Gongger Peak was particularly thick, and it seemed to be two to three times thicker than other places.

"What a rich aura!"

Taoist Ji'an's words confirmed his opinion.

He murmured, "This should be it." The three forces

of resentment, spiritual energy, and incense and wish power

gave birth to the monster of clay sculpture .

If it is not stopped in time,

all human beings on the earth will become fuel for the clay sculpture to refine their ancestors.

Wang Ran looked at the Gongger Peak below him.

He looked at the surging fog.

He had an inexplicable ominous premonition in his heart.

His spiritual attribute had reached 10,000, and ominous premonitions would often manifest into bad things in reality, some of which might even threaten his life.

Wang Ran activated the real-time simulation function without hesitation.

[Start real-time simulation]

[You land the aircraft on Gongger Peak. Thick fog obscures your vision and interferes with the aircraft's simulated map. You are unable to find the ancient temple]

[You get lost in the fog]

[You come to an ancient village]

[This village has been abandoned for a long time. You hesitate at the entrance of the village for a while, and finally decide to find out]

[You enter the abandoned village]

[You find many footprints on the ground]

[You shout loudly]

[You feel someone is following you]

[You turn around and search]

[You find nothing]

[Simulation ends]

Wang Ranmei closes the lock.

Kunlun Mountain is over 4,000 meters above sea level. Who would think that their life is too comfortable and run to live in such a cold place?

Do you eat oil cakes?

This is too unreasonable, unless this village is a ghost village that the tour group accidentally entered.

But the tour group accidentally entered the ghost village as soon as they entered the Kunlun Mountains. Why did he accidentally enter the ghost village halfway up the Gongger Peak?

Could the fog have the effect of spatial displacement?

Wang Ran's heart was full of doubts, and he conducted another simulation.

[Start real-time simulation]

[You copied the map in advance, and then controlled the aircraft to land on Gongger Peak]

[You searched for the ancient temple according to the map]

[You got lost in the fog]

Wang Ran's face suddenly turned ugly.

The last time he got lost was because the map of the aircraft was disturbed. This time he copied the map in advance, but he still got lost.

What is this? A natural maze?

[You came to an ancient village]

[You walked in cautiously]

[You felt someone was following you]

If this ancient village is the ghost village that the tour group mistakenly entered, then there must be many powerful ghosts hiding in the dark and spying on him.

[You took out an ancient relic]

[This is the folding fan you repaired with "Mending the Sky"]

[You waved the folding fan towards the ancient village]

[A surging river surged out of the folding fan, and the river water washed over the buildings of the ancient village, overturning many of the houses in the ancient village] You

can't get out, right?

Then don't blame me for overturning your graves!

[The sky turns gloomy]

[Many ghosts in red emerge from the corner]

[They look at you silently]

[Simulation ends]

Thirty minutes of simulation time is still too short, but it helped Wang Ran confirm two things.

First, getting lost was not accidental.

Second, the ancient village he mistakenly entered was the ghost village that the tour group had visited.

"Why did I get lost twice, and both times I got lost in the ghost village?"

Wang Ran was very confused.

He wondered, "Did the ghost village target me?"

It shouldn't be!

When he was exploring the mysteries, he was manipulating the God of Wealth. If the ghost village wants revenge, it should go to the God of Wealth!

Wait!

Could it be that because he looks exactly like the God of Wealth, the ghost village recognized the wrong person?

Try again

[Open real-time simulation]

[You control the aircraft to land on Gongger Peak]

[You explore carefully according to the map]

[You suddenly get dizzy and turn around]

[You are lost]

[You come to an ancient village]

"You really targeted me, right?"

Wang Ran was a little annoyed.

Although he did it, he couldn't accept that the ghost village accidentally found him!

Isn't this wrongly accusing a good person?

He couldn't stand this grievance!

[You take out a folding fan outside the village]

[You wave it vigorously towards the ancient village]

[A big river surges out of the fan, and the river water collapses several dilapidated houses, and then surges into the village, with a tendency to submerge the entire village]

[Suddenly, the sky changes drastically]

[You hear the creepy cries of ghosts, and then see red ghosts emerging from the murky river water]

[You can tell that they hate you so much] [

You don't go in] ​​[

They don't come out]

[You stare at each other across the river at the entrance of the village]

[The atmosphere gradually becomes weird]

"Can't these ghosts leave the village?"

Wang Ran is curious.

【"Come here!"】

【You yell at the ghosts in the village】

【The ghosts rush out of the village】

【They tear you apart】

【Simulation ends】

The corners of Wang Ran's mouth twitched.

It seems that the ghosts are not unable to leave the village, but they are afraid of the God of Wealth and dare not act rashly.

"Even if they can't leave the village, it won't do me any good." Wang Ran thought, "I need to find that temple. I can't keep getting lost in the ghost village!"

What should I do?

How about asking others to find the ancient temple for him?

[Start real-time simulation]

[The target of this simulation is Yiya]

[Yiya follows you to Gongger Peak]

[She leaves the aircraft]

[She follows your instructions to find the ancient temple that gave birth to the clay sculpture]

[She found the ancient temple]

[She found that the ancient temple was surrounded by a strong resentment]

[She entered the ancient temple]

[She found a dilapidated clay sculpture]

[Simulation ends]

Sure enough, the ghost village only targeted him.

Yiya was not affected.

"Surrounded by resentment"

Now it can be confirmed that the ancient temple he is looking for is here. The only problem is that as soon as he enters the mist, he will be pulled away by the ghost village and cannot go to the ancient temple in person.

But if he cannot go to the ancient temple in person, he will not be able to convert the clay sculpture.

"Why am I always lost?"

Wang Ran murmured.

Couldn't he fly the aircraft directly outside the ancient temple? That

would save him from groping in the mist. As long as he didn't run around in the mist, he wouldn't be dragged away by the ghost village.

[Start real-time simulation]

[You try to land the aircraft near the ancient temple, but the aircraft fails to land near the fog, and can only land near the vague coordinates]

[.]

[Simulation ends]

"This fog is not just a fog containing spiritual energy!"

Wang Ran thought: "After the spiritual energy revived, a natural formation may have formed nearby that interfered with the operation of the instrument."

"Formation?"

Taoist Ji An asked in confusion: "Are you talking about formation?"

Wang Ran was stunned for a moment, and he suddenly realized that Taoist Ji An might know something about this situation.

He asked: "There is a natural formation below, and the aircraft will malfunction as soon as it enters the fog. What should I do in this situation?"

Taoist Ji An was stunned for a moment.

In Wang Ran's expectant eyes, he hesitated and said, "I'm not sure either. The spiritual energy has disappeared for too long. I haven't studied this knowledge."

Wang Ran was a little disappointed.

But Taoist Ji'an paused and said, "If you want to avoid the instrument malfunctioning, you don't need to break the formation. You can empty the mist around here."

Wang Ran was stunned.

Empty the mist - will it work?

Taoist Ji'an continued, "I have a palm leaf fan, the one that Princess Iron Fan used in Journey to the West. You can try it."

Wang Ran's eyes lit up: "Is it the palm leaf fan that can extinguish the Flame Mountain?"

Taoist Ji'an nodded.

He pulled out a two-meter-high broken fan from the pouch on his waist and whispered, "If it doesn't work, let's go back and get a few more ancient relics with a suppressive effect."

"It shouldn't be difficult to blow away the fog without breaking the formation."

He handed the banana fan to Wang Ran.

Wang Ran took the banana fan and looked at it carefully.

He found that the banana fan was broken so badly that it could hardly be called a fan. The area of ​​the hole was larger than the area of ​​the fan blade, and its power must have been greatly reduced.

But it doesn't matter, he can fix it.

He rubbed his temples, and with the headache left by repairing the Immortal Killing Gourd, he activated [Mending the Sky] on the banana fan.

A round artistic conception rippled.

The palm leaf fan was emitting a shimmering white light, and a layer of light green spread out from the fan bone.

Two seconds later, Wang Ran had an unbearable headache.

He finished [Mending the Sky].

Looking closely, all the small holes on the palm leaf fan were repaired, leaving only a few palm-sized holes.

The power that damaged the palm leaf fan remained in these holes, and this power blocked [Mending the Sky]. Otherwise, Wang Ran could have completely repaired the entire fan this time.

Taoist Ji An exclaimed in amazement: "You are worthy of being a saint!"

The reason why he took out the palm leaf fan was because he had seen Wang Ran repairing the Zhanxian Gourd on the plane before.

Although the palm leaf fan was badly damaged, with a little repair, it could easily dispel the fog on Gongger Peak with one tenth of its power as described in the legend.

Wang Ran held the fan and started the simulation.

[Start real-time simulation]

[You control the aircraft to hover over Gongger Peak]

[You open the hatch]

[You exit the aircraft]

[You stand on the aircraft and raise the palm leaf fan]

[You swing it vigorously]

[The palm-leaf fan blew out a surging wave of air]

[The mist dissipated]

[You saw the ancient temple]
