Chapter 161 (2/2)
David's grandfather, a Westerner who knew the secret, once entered the hinterland of Tubo with the British Invaders. They separated from the British army as an expedition and went to the Kunnan River Valley alone.
In the Kunnan River Valley, they found traces of the holy monument.
But no one knows what they did to the monument. At that time, the expedition of more than 100 people left David's grandfather alone.
Grandpa David's notebook doesn't record what happened here for some reason. All the explorers who knew the inside story had died, or only the bones of the wine filled Kunnan River Valley were left.
Perhaps David knew the inside story 770 and found the record in his grandfather's notebook. But he hid it for some purpose.
So why did David hide the records about the monument and accept the invitation of Zou Xiu to come here to investigate the so-called Baokun? Could this itself be a game designed by David, in fact, he has another plan?
These things can only be explained when David is confronted.
”Zhang Meng, where has David gone?” Sunan suddenly turned back and asked, because he found that David was missing from the crowd around him.
Just now, he was still here! ”Zhang Meng scratched the back of his head and muttered.” didn't he lie there all the time to rest? Why did he suddenly disappear?
Sure enough, David should have found some important clues after seeing the holy monument. In order to avoid Sunan's suspicion on his head, he took the opportunity to slip away.
However, Sunan was not worried that David could escape from his palm.
As long as Sunan is there, the secret of the monument will be solved sooner or later.
But now, Southern Jiangsu has found a more important problem. Yi Qiuling has also found this problem. They look at each other and get close to the holy monument.
There is only half of this sacred monument! The one buried under the land is half of it!
After all, the other half was taken away?
David walked through the jungle, leaving behind the lush shrubs of the Himalayas.
The blue energy hairspring injected into his body by Sunan made his body quickly recover its action ability, and even vaguely transformed his body.
This transformation is from the inside out, which not only makes David's body stronger, but also gives him a sense of attachment to Sunan.
This sense of attachment is intertwined with a deliberately hidden emotion in David's heart, resulting in a huge conflict.
In other words, David's heart is very contradictory at the moment.
David did the test given by Sunan to David. He successfully found the holy mountain and the holy monument. He was originally qualified to be a member of Sunan team.
However, David finally chose to betray Sunan.
Of course, the betrayal was not designed from the beginning. It was made after David found the half of the monument.
This decision is not David's choice, but comes from a memory in David's heart, which is related to David's grandfather. As mentioned earlier, David's love for exploration and his eventual becoming an adventure lover by a university professor all come from his grandfather's influence on him.
David's grandfather had been to many places. In the era of colonial expansion, he followed the colonists' ships to all continents on the earth and knocked on the locked doors with guns.
At that time, Yanguo was a paradise that all colonists dreamed of. It is said that the people there lived a rich life and claimed to be the Heavenly Kingdom. There were rich products, as well as exquisite porcelain, tea, spices and silk. It had all the beautiful things you can imagine.
However, the kings there refused to contact the outside world. They closed the country and refused to trade with the colonists.
Therefore, an organized and planned aggression began. From then on, there was no peace for the people in this land, and the smoke and scorched earth became the last sadness of a backward nation.
At that time, the main battlefield was in the coastal areas, where there were excellent ports and rich commerce, which was the focus of the colonists.
However, in another place, in the deep mountains in the west, another team of thousands of people also began their journey of aggression.
The leaders of this colonial invader were the responding colonists who were known as the ”sun never sets emperor” at that time. Their purpose was to occupy Tubo, one of the vast provinces of Yanguo.
Due to the limitation of geographical location, the relationship between Tufan and the central government of Yanguo has not been very close. However, this land has strict religious beliefs and rich natural resources.
Among the thousands of aggressive bacteria, a team followed
Most of the members of this team are scholars, professors and explorers. They have no guns in their hands, but they do no less harm here than guns.
These scholars and professors came for a long-standing legend in the Himalayas.
It is said that at the foot of the Himalayas, there is the dragon vein of the Yanguo nationality, which overlooks the whole land of China from a strategically advantageous position.
Geographically speaking, the terrain of Yanguo is high in the northwest and low in the southeast. It is distributed in a ladder shape. The water melts from the snow mountains in the northwest and then flows into the southeast ocean.
