Chapter 1736 Dawang Village
Two days later, Chu Ge's private plane took off into the sky and flew northwest.
Kunlun Capital, less than 200 kilometers away from the Kunlun Pass, is a small city with a population of more than 200,000.
The city is not big, but it is very famous among travellers.
Many people who explore Kunlun Mountains often choose to start from here.
Therefore, there are many outdoor equipment stores and off-road vehicle rental companies in Kunlun.
It was already noon when Pi Yangyang, Chu Ge and others arrived at Kunlun Capital.
After leaving the airport, the group randomly found a roadside restaurant, ordered some local specialties, and talked about their next plans while eating.
"Brother, do you know the exact location of Lingquan Mountain?"
Chu Ge asked.
Pi Yangyang shook his head, "I don't know, I just heard from Master Qian that it was deep in the snowy mountains."
Chu Ge said with some concern: "The snow mountain is very vast, and there is no exact location. How can we find it?"
Pi Yangyang thought for a moment and said, "Grandpa Qian said that where they went that year, there was a small village called Dawang Village. The elders in the village might know the location of Lingquan Mountain."
Chu Ge breathed a sigh of relief, "That's fine, otherwise, where can we find Lingquan Mountain in the vast snowy mountains?"
So, several people asked the shop owner about the specific location of Dawang Village, but the shop owner didn't know either.
They asked a few more locals, and all of them said they didn't know.
Finally, the shop owner reminded them, "Go ask the sports car dealer, maybe someone knows."
Pi Yangyang thought about it and realized that they would definitely need to rent a car to go to Tawang Village, and someone at the car rental company must know where Tawang Village is.
After lunch, they found a car rental company and rented two off-road vehicles.
When they asked the people at the car rental company, they found out that they knew the location of Tawang Village and gave them a map.
They found an outdoor gear store on the street, stocked up on what they needed, and then drove to Tawang Village.
According to the markings on the map, it is only 180 kilometers from Kunlun City to Dawang Village.
However, the road leading to Tawang Village is a rough road, full of potholes and covered with thick snow.
Pi Yangyang and Tie Niu were in one car, and Chu Ge and three others were in another car. They left the city one after another and headed southwest.
Although it was only 180 kilometers, it took us nearly ten hours to see star lights ahead.
The village is not big, with only about thirty households, and they are concentrated together.
A street runs through the village, and no one knows where it extends to.
Although it was late at night, you could still see the majestic mountains behind the village from afar.
Under the shining of the stars and the moon, the mountain peaks shone white, obviously covered with snow.
At this time, all the residents had their doors closed, probably going to bed.
Fortunately, the village streets are equipped with street lights, so it doesn’t seem dark.
The car stopped in the middle of the village. Chu Ge got out and walked over, saying helplessly, "It looks like we can only sleep in the car tonight."
Pi Yangyang didn't answer, got out of the car and looked forward.
The temperature here is very low, and I felt a chill as soon as I got off the car.
However, he looked ahead and said with some surprise: "There seems to be a hotel ahead, let's go and take a look."
Chu Ge stretched his neck to look forward and asked suspiciously, "Where is it? Why can't I see it?"
Pi Yangyang smiled calmly, without explaining, and got into the car and said, "It can't be wrong."
Then he started the car and drove forward.
Sure enough, there was a hotel up ahead.
There is not only a hotel, but right next to it there is also a mountaineering club and an aid station.
Although it was late at night, there were still people drinking and chatting in the mountaineering club.
Seeing a car coming, the people inside turned around curiously and looked over.
A middle-aged man wearing a fox fur coat came out with his hands clasped behind his back and asked curiously, "Where are you from? Why are you here so late?"
Pi Yangyang got off the car and replied, "We just left in the afternoon, and it's already this time when we get here."
"Come in quickly and have a bowl of mutton soup to warm yourself up."
The man was very enthusiastic and extended an invitation to them.
After all this trouble, Pi Yangyang felt a little hungry.
Moreover, it was really cold under the snowy mountain. Even he could feel the chill seeping directly into his clothes.
He did not refuse and agreed: "Okay, thank you very much."
"You're welcome, come on."
The middle-aged man nodded, stamping his feet on the spot while waiting.
When he heard about mutton soup, Tie Niu's eyes lit up and he asked, "Do you have roasted mutton?"
"Yes, how could there not be?" the man replied.
Tie Niu was immediately happy and followed Pi Yangyang, Chu Ge and others to the entrance of the club.
It is called a club, but it is actually a hotel with an outdoor equipment store and a restaurant.
When I entered the restaurant, I immediately felt a lot warmer.
The man asked curiously, "From your accent, you are from the south, right? Are you here to climb mountains?"
Pi Yangyang said "hmm" without commenting, and asked: "Do many people come here to climb mountains?"
"Now is the time when there are a lot of people. Look, they are all here to climb the mountain."
The man was very outgoing and pointed at the people drinking at the table.
Pi Yangyang nodded, "Then we came at the right time."
The man insisted on treating them to roast lamb and lamb soup, but Pi Yangyang refused.
He could see that although this man was generous, he was not rich.
"My name is Zhaxi, and I'm from Dawang Village. If you need any help, you can come to me."
Seeing that Pi Yangyang refused, the man still introduced himself enthusiastically.
Pi Yangyang immediately understood that Zhaxi must be providing some services to the climbers here and then earning service fees.
He really needed a local person as a guide, otherwise it would be hard to say whether he could find Lingquan Mountain.
"My name is Pi Yangyang, and this is my brother Chu Ge. We came here to find a place called Lingquan Mountain. Do you know?"
Pi Yangyang did not shy away from asking.
Zhaxi was stunned, then said a little embarrassedly: "I have heard of Lingquan Mountain, but I have never been there. This... I really can't help you."
Pi Yangyang couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, "It's okay, why don't you sit down and eat something together?"
"No, I've eaten."
Tashi felt a little embarrassed.
Pi Yangyang smiled and said, "It's okay, just think of it as making friends."
Then he asked Tieniu to pull over a chair for Zhaxi to sit on.
Although Zhaxi felt embarrassed, he still sat down.
After drinking a glass of wine, he suddenly said, "Although I don't know, Uncle Qiangba in the village should know."
Pi Yangyang immediately became interested and asked, "Uncle Qiangba?"
"Yes, he is a very famous person in our village. When he was young, he often went to the snow-capped mountains to hunt and collect herbs." Zhaxi said with admiration, "However, he fell ill not long ago and is not fully recovered yet. He may not be able to go into the mountains."
Pi Yangyang thought for a moment and said, "He is sick? Then can you take us to see him tomorrow?"
"No problem, I'll call you tomorrow morning and then we'll go see him together."
Zhaxi agreed readily.
After they finished eating and drinking, Zhaxi staggered away.
Pi Yangyang, Chu Ge and others stayed in the hotel, waiting to visit Uncle Qiangba tomorrow.
The hotel is very simple and can only provide basic accommodation.
Pi Yangyang and Tie Niu lived in one room, while Chu Ge and the other three each had a room.
When they arrived at the guest room, Pi Yangyang suddenly called Chu Ge and whispered, "Tell Zhuque and Xuanwu not to go out if they hear any noise at night."
Chu Ge was stunned and asked suspiciously: "It's so late, what could be going on?"
Pi Yangyang smiled strangely and said, "If I'm not mistaken, a friend is following us."
Chu Ge's eyes suddenly widened, and he said in disbelief: "Following us? Who?"
Pi Yangyang said calmly: "Don't be startled. If I'm not mistaken, it should be someone from the Black Temple."
Chu Ge's eyes suddenly turned cold, and he said in a deep voice: "Okay, I was just about to find them, and they dared to follow us!?"
Pi Yangyang smiled and said, "Don't worry, let's talk about it after we enter the snow mountain."
Chu Ge nodded, "Listen to my brother."
After saying that, they each returned to their rooms.
Pi Yangyang was not wrong. Less than an hour after they left the capital, another private plane took off into the sky and flew to Kunlun Capital.
