From seeing it

"The most famous of these are Zhu Rong, Rong Guang, Chong Li and Wu Hui."

"In myths and legends, it is said that the god of fire, Zhu Rong, killed Gun in the lower realm, and took away the Xi soil. According to the inference of time, Zhu Rong here should refer to the first generation of Zhu Rong Rongguang, who is the descendant of Emperor Yan Shennong. It is the Xia official of Emperor Yan and Huang, and it is said that after he took away the soil, he placed it in the "Shennong Palace" built by Emperor Yan Shennong."

When Xiao Ling heard this, he finally understood a little bit, and said, "Xi Rang was placed in the 'Shennong Palace'. Could it be that the legendary 'Shennong Palace' is in the current Shennongjia?"

Zhou Kesheng said: "Yes, today's Shennongjia is named after the ancestor of China, Yandi Shennong, who built wooden ladders here, tasted hundreds of herbs, saved people from dying, and taught them how to harvest. According to myths and legends, there is a 'Shennong Palace' where the soil is stored. , built in the depths of Shennongjia.”

"Emperor Yan Shennong..." Xiao Ling whispered to himself. Xiao Ling knew this ancient tribal leader, one of the two emperors of Yan and Huang, very well.

Zhou Kesheng said: "Actually, Emperor Yan is the honorific name of the leader of the tribe surnamed Jiang in ancient times. Shennong is the first Emperor Yan. According to records, there are nine generations of Emperor Yan, who have passed on the throne for 530 years. But it is said that in the depths of Shennongjia, this The Jiang surnamed tribe has always existed, and Emperor Yan has passed it down from generation to generation, but ordinary people can no longer enter there."

"It seems that we are going to go deep into Shennongjia this time and find the 'Shennong Palace'. Is this Shennongjia very dangerous?" Xiao Ling couldn't help but glance at Cao Mingyi when he said this.

Back then, an expedition team went deep into Shennongjia to search for savages, but Cao Mingyi was the only one who came back alive. It seems that he must have encountered danger.

Zhou Kesheng said: "I have to ask Lao Cao about it. He experienced it himself, so he naturally knows much more than us."

Cao Mingyi moved his lips, as if he wanted to say something, then smiled wryly and shook his head, and finally said only one sentence: "Let's talk when we get there."

Zhou Kesheng and Xiao Ling had no choice but to let him go.

Four hours later, everyone arrived in Shennong County.

As the vehicle drove down the county road, Xiao Ling saw rolling mountains in the distance, a patch of greenery, which was a well-protected primeval forest area.

The car drove along the county road and entered a village before stopping.

After sitting in the car for four or five hours, Xiao Ling got out of the car and couldn't help stretching and moving his body.

The village is only one or two kilometers away from the Shennongjia forest area, and you can enter the forest area on foot.

Two men in black suits from the village came up to meet Zhou Kesheng, and they were very respectful when they saw Zhou Kesheng.

Xiao Ling understood that Zhou Kesheng would prepare everything in advance before every action, and he should have sent these two people over before.

"How are you getting ready?" Zhou Kesheng asked.

One of them, wearing a black suit, said: "We contacted the local hunter team and recruited 13 hunters, including an experienced guide."

Zhou Kesheng hummed and nodded.

Xiao Ling understood that this trip to Shennongjia was not a scientific expedition, but Zhou Kesheng's help in finding Xiyang. Zhou Kesheng could not rely on organizational strength, so he could only use personal relationships, including inviting Cao Mingyi, and temporarily recruiting hunters and guides locally .

Xiao Ling opened the trunk of the car, carried the box containing the mother-in-law knife on his back, and followed the two men in black suits into a villager's house. Yes, the younger ones are no more than twenty years old, and the older ones may be nearly sixty years old. Without exception, they all carry shotguns.

Xiao Ling understood that these people were hunters temporarily recruited from the surrounding villages.

This Shennongjia forest area is rich in animal resources, and there are many hunters who rely on hunting for a living.

Entering Shennongjia is dangerous. It is not a scientific research task arranged by the superior. Even Zhou Kesheng cannot use Sun Tao and other members from the "Black Fire Training Camp" to work for them. He can only spend money to hire local help .

Two men in black suits introduced Zhou Kesheng to these hunters, letting them know that the benefactor of their trip was the old man in front of them, and they were going to accompany the old man to go deep into Shennongjia to hunt some rare wild animals , Everything on the way must follow their arrangements.

"The deposit has been paid to you in advance, and the other half will be paid after the mission is completed and returned." One of the men in a black suit said to these hunters, and then introduced several hunters and the guide to Zhou Kesheng.

The guide was a man in his fifties named Mayong. He had only one right arm and his face was black and red. He looked sleek. According to the introduction, he had been in and out of Shennongjia all the year round. He was also a hunter with rich experience. Encountered Xiong Blind, lost a left arm, and could not hunt anymore. With the rich experience accumulated as a hunter, he ran errands for others and worked as a guide to earn money.

Three more hunters were introduced. Among the hunters in this area, the ones who had a certain prestige were the leaders of this hunter team. They were named Liu Dajiang, Guo Peng and Li Weijian.

Everyone had dinner in the village, and set off immediately after resting for a while. These hunters often went into the mountains to hunt, sometimes they went deep into the mountains, and stayed for a few days. They were experienced and each brought some dry food. What to prepare for them.

The two men in black suits carried two large backpacks and handed them to Zhou Kesheng.

Seeing that the backpack was very heavy, Xiao Ling was about to help lift it up, but he didn't want Cao Mingyi to take the first step, and lifted it up one by one in each hand.

Xiao Ling saw it, and his heart moved.

This Cao Mingyi looks fat and fleshy, but he has a lot of strength unexpectedly.

Seeing Xiao Ling's puzzled look, Zhou Kesheng smiled and said, "Don't underestimate Lao Cao. He couldn't be the leader of the expedition team without any means. He comes from a family of martial arts and has practiced Xingyiquan for decades. It is said that I have mastered the 'Ming Jin' of Xingyiquan, but it is a pity that I have indulged myself too much in the past ten years, and I have grown so fat that I don't know how much kung fu I have left."

It was only then that Xiao Ling realized that this seemingly ordinary Cao Mingyi was actually a trainer. Seeing how easily he lifted the heavy backpack just now, his hand strength was indeed not weak. He also learned it in the "Black Fire Training Camp" Boxing, Guo Yongchang, the instructor who taught him boxing, once talked with him about internal boxing, including Xingyi boxing.

This internal boxing is different from the external boxing. It can not be practiced simply by hardening your muscles and bones or working hard. It requires more understanding and talent. It can be said to be very difficult to practice. There are three levels of "Jin" and "Hua Jin".
