Chapter 66 Taihang Mountains, the three young masters of the Huo family
Chapter 66 Taihang Mountains, the Third Young Master of the Huo Family
"Professor Zhang, this is a map I came across by chance in an ancient book. You are well-informed. Do you know where this map shows?"
Professor Zhang took the map, adjusted his glasses, and studied it carefully.
"This map... seems familiar to me?" Professor Zhang said uncertainly after a while.
Jiang Hua's eyes lit up.
"Professor Zhang, do you know where this place is?"
"I kind of forgot about that, too."
Professor Zhang frowned and said, "The mountains, rivers and streams recorded on this map seem like something I've seen before."
"How about this, you wait here for a while, I'll go look up some information and tell you when I find it..."
"Well, thank you for your help, Professor Zhang!"
About an hour passed.
Professor Zhang came over with a map.
"I remember that when your teacher and I went to the Taihang Mountains for an investigation, we almost died in a place called Huaxing Mountain."
"what happened?"
Jiang Hua asked doubtfully.
Professor Zhang continued, "The map you have is very similar to the Huaxing Mountain that I visited. We were young at the time and wanted to cross Huaxing Mountain to conduct field surveying and mapping work."
"Unexpectedly, we saw a huge wild boar on Huaxing Mountain. You may not believe it, but the size of that wild boar is comparable to that of an elephant."
"If we hadn't been armed and hadn't shot the wild boar in time, I'm afraid we would have died there."
Professor Zhang still feels frightened when he recalls the past.
"A wild boar bigger than an elephant?"
Jiang Hua was stunned for a moment. Isn’t this a monster?
"What? You don't believe it?"
"No, no, Professor Zhang, so what you mean is that the mountain drawn on the map is Huaxing Mountain?"
"It shouldn't be wrong. I'm 80% sure."
"Thank you so much, Professor Zhang!"
A bag of tea appeared in Jiang Hua's hand.
"Professor Zhang, here are some tea leaves. Thank you for your help today!"
Professor Zhang was stunned for a moment.
"Take the things back..."
"Professor Zhang, this is just some tea leaves, not something valuable."
Jiang Hua smiled and said, "Besides, you are my teacher's friend, so these tea leaves are a gift to you!"
Professor Zhang thought about it.
I don't think this tea is a valuable thing.
So I just didn't refuse.
"Okay, I'll take the tea."
"When you have nothing to do in the future, you can come and chat with me."
"Okay, Professor Zhang, I'll take my leave then."
"Ah."
Jiang Hua left the Geography School with the map.
He had a smile on his face.
I didn’t expect this trip to be so smooth.
You can directly find out where the treasures of heaven and earth are hidden.
"As expected of Professor Zhang!"
Jiang Hua praised.
Professor Zhang traveled all over the country in those days.
This is simply a living map!
If you don’t understand anything in the future, you have to come and ask Professor Zhang.
"Well, next time I come over, I'll bring Professor Zhang some more tea..."
……
In the Jiang family's study.
An extremely angry voice was heard.
"You little bastard, where is my tea that costs tens of thousands of taels? Not even a little bit is left for me?"
"What a rebellious son! What a rebellious son!"
"When you come back, I will break your legs!"
……
"Taihang Mountains?"
Jiang Hua fell into deep thought. The Taihang Mountains are an important geographical dividing line in eastern China.
It starts from the West Mountain of Beijing in the north, extends to Wangwu Mountain in the south, borders the Shanxi Plateau in the west, and faces the North China Plain in the east, running from northeast to southwest, stretching for more than 400 kilometers.
It is the eastern edge of the second terrace of the Chinese terrain and the eastern boundary of the Loess Plateau.
The most important thing is that the Taihang Mountains are not far from the capital, only a few hundred kilometers away.
Jiang Hua stroked his chin and pondered. "I can go to Huaxing Mountain. It only takes two or three days and I can come back."
"Yes, let's do it!"
"Otherwise my dad will beat me to death when I get home...
Jiang Hua scratched his head slightly and muttered, "Dad, you should drink less tea. When the tea tree bears fruit next year, I will buy you more..."
"Well, I'd better leave a note for Dad."
"So as not to make him worry..."
Taihang Mountains.
A group of people were walking towards the mountain.
"Everyone, please be careful."
"There is a wild boar monster over there."
The burly man who was leading the group spoke.
Next to him was a young man with a fair complexion, probably in his twenties.
"Uncle Tian, are there really spiritual fruits there?" asked the young man.
"Xiao An, don't worry. This is what our Huo family's outer disciples saw with their own eyes. There is also a wild boar demon that is bigger than an elephant!"
The young man is called Huo Wen'an, the third son of the Huo family of Changsha Old Nine Sects...
The burly man leading the group was called Tian Hongyue!
He is the elder worshipped by the Huo family.
Although he looks ordinary, he is a first-class warrior.
In this era, those who can train to become a warrior are people with great perseverance.
So, even though Tian Hongyue is an outsider of the Huo family, he has a very high status in the Huo family.
This time, someone found a magical fruit in the Taihang Mountains, and there was a wild boar monster guarding it.
Tian Hongyue immediately decided to lead his men to kill the wild boar monster and seize the spiritual fruit.
The value of spiritual fruit is really too great.
Huo Wen'an asked, "Uncle Tian, if there is a wild boar demon, does that mean there must be spiritual fruit?"
“That’s not necessarily the case, but since it can become a demon beast, the wild boar must have extraordinary luck.”
Tian Hongyue explained: "So most natural treasures are guarded by monsters.
"oh oh."
Huo Wenan nodded, not quite understanding.
"Uncle Tian, is that monster powerful?"
"Can you beat it?"
Tian Hongyue pondered for a while and said, "I can't say for sure. Some monsters are very powerful, while some are very weak."
"Moreover, in this era, demon beasts have become increasingly rare. I have only seen one once when I was young."
Huo Wenan became a little worried when he heard this.
"Uncle Tian, what if you can't defeat that wild boar demon?"
Tian Hongyue burst into laughter, "Xiao An, you must remember that we are human beings, not animals."
"The biggest difference between us and animals is that humans have smart brains. Even if that wild boar demon is very powerful, we have so many people here, and we have a large number of guns."
"It can't escape even if it has wings!"
After hearing this, Huo Wenan finally felt relieved.
"Uncle Tian, is this spiritual fruit very precious?"
"Haha, of course."
"Xiao An, you probably haven't heard the news from the capital yet?
"What news?" Huo Wen'an asked curiously.
"There is a New Moon Hotel in the capital. Speaking of which, this New Moon Hotel has some connection with us, the Old Nine Sects. Back then, the old Buddha of the Zhang family married Yin Xinyue, the daughter of the New Moon Hotel, which created a good story!"
"Crescent Hotel? I heard about it from my grandma!"
Huo Wen'an's eyes lit up.
"Well, a few days ago, the Crescent Hotel held an auction, and a total of three spiritual fruits were auctioned at the auction."
"Do you know how much those three spiritual fruits are worth?"
Huo Wenan shook his head.
"Haha, the first one sold for 18 billion, the second one sold for nearly 23 billion, and the third one sold for 27 billion!"
Huo Wen'an's eyes widened.
"Is this so expensive?"
Tian Hongyue saw Huo Wenan's expression and nodded with satisfaction.
"That's right, spiritual fruit can prolong life. As long as we can obtain this spiritual fruit, we can extend your grandmother's life by several years."
Huo Wen'an's eyes lit up, and he said firmly: "Uncle Tian, then we must get this spiritual fruit."
"Well, Xiao An, don't worry."
Tian Hongyue smiled and said, "We are the only ones who know that place. Others may have never heard of it..."
The group of people continued to move forward.
