The next day, around dawn, these guys all got up, saying they were getting up, but actually where could they rest well at night?

  What's the explanation? The moon has been hanging there all along. It just appears a bit dimmer when dawn breaks than it does at night.

  A row of people, except for Zhuo Xiong who was forced by Zha Wenbin to go in and sleep a bit more, all sat on the grass watching this phenomenon that could never be explained by common sense.

  It is well known that the moon revolves around the earth, the earth revolves around the sun, and the earth also rotates on its own. It is precisely because of these movements that there are sunrise and sunset every day, four distinct seasons, and day and night. The moon has phases due to this as well. This was a principle understood by ancient people, an irreversible law bestowed by nature. Yet now, this law has been broken.

  Cha Wenbin was waiting, he was waiting for sunrise, he wanted to see where this moon would fall from.

  Old Wang said that this may be due to the relationship of a certain angle, bringing visual differences, such as location and light. He thinks that the shock brought by nature is always so much.

  However, Cha Wenbin denied this inference. He said that today is the 20th or so of the lunar calendar, but here it's like the 15th at the same time. The moon is round like that, even if it's a visual problem that makes people feel that the moon hasn't moved, but this moon can only be a crescent moon at most. Where would there be a full moon?

  This temporarily insoluble problem seemed to have given a more unbelievable answer after a period of time:

  About an hour later, the outline of the moon began to become somewhat blurred. Because they had been staring at it for a long time, Zhang Wenbin and Old Wang both noticed that it was changing from yellow to pale yellow, and then to white. At the same time, something bigger behind it began to appear, with increasing brightness, until finally, the thing behind completely replaced the moon, sunlight poured onto every mountain peak, and also made their eyes somewhat uncomfortable, as the sun appeared in this way!

  "Is Wen Bin, or am I seeing things?" Old Wang asked in a somewhat stunned tone.

  Cha Wenbin was also completely stunned: "If you're hallucinating, I think we might all be hallucinating, it's really unbelievable."

  It's not just unthinkable, before seeing this scene today, they were like everyone else, watching the sun rise in the east and set in the west, from one mountain to another, now everything has been turned upside down.

  Not to mention the past, but even yesterday, before they climbed to the top of this mountain, Zha Wenbin still saw the sun setting in the west. Now everything has changed, and the sun appears here in such a way that its position is where the moon hangs, the summit of Mount Kunlun!

  "There's a way." Cha Wenbin turned his head to Chaozi, "Now we just need to send one person down to the other side of the mountain, that is, the road we came up yesterday, and wait at the position just after crossing the cloud layer to see if the sun will move from our current mountain ridge to set on that side."

  This is a very simple argument. If Superzi saw the sun rise from the mountain and set in the usual way, it would prove that it was likely an optical illusion. If Superzi didn't see the sun, it would prove that it had been stationary all along. Of course, there's also a third possibility: "If you saw it moving but we saw it not moving, then there are two other possibilities - either there are two suns or moons here, one of which moves but is invisible to us and the other doesn't move; or this place is like Fengyuan, where things aren't as they seem, a place that's not part of the human world. Just like Lao Dao said before, no photos can be taken here with aerial photography, it doesn't exist on maps!"

  "Doesn't exist?" Chaozi asked.

  "It doesn't exist, but it's said that Kunlun has a gate to hell, which leads to the endless hells. If this legend is true, then I think we've probably already entered. It's very likely that when we passed those pillars, we were already there. But Chaozi, I don't have time for you to argue about it now, it looks like someone might make a move first, let's hurry up the mountain!" Cha Wenbin immediately woke up Zhuo Xiong, gathered their things and prepared to head towards the main peak in front of them.

  If it was Da Shan who made the ghost last night, then after a night's journey, he should have appeared on the opposite half mountain waist by now, so they are already nearly six hours behind. More people means a greater possibility of distance being stretched.

  This requires them to go up again, although walking inwards, there is no cloud or fog, nor snow, and the temperature is still controlled at a comfortable level, which means they are already inside the volcano, The surrounding mountain walls are all rolling magma, heaven knows when these fragile mountains will collapse, because Lao Wang has found more and more volcanic rocks formed by previous lava flows.

  There were still places outside that were smoking, which was formed by the intense internal combustion. Going down the mountain was much simpler than coming up from the outside. There were plants and vines to hold onto, and without snow, they wouldn't slip. They found the marks left behind by the big mountain last night: the trampled vegetation and the broken ends caused by pulling, and they also found the cloth strips torn off by thorns, which was the same as the clothes on their bodies, provided by the organization. Only the big mountain had it, except for them and that batch of people who had already died.

  Cha Wenbin, in order to protect Dashan and also to stabilize the military's morale, asked them not to easily suspect him before confronting Dashan himself. From his inner perspective, he would never believe that Dashan would betray them no matter what.

  As the mountain terrain lowers and flattens, more and more artificial traces begin to appear. Many large stones have been rolled from the middle of the mountain to the foot of the mountain. Most of these stones are relatively regular in shape, scattered here like an abandoned quarry.

  There are also large murals, but unlike the bright red colors used in the past, the murals here are very rough and some are even carved with ordinary stones. The more exquisite ones use cinnabar, but most of them can no longer be discerned, looking like they have been there for a very long time.

  The only thing that makes them feel a bit familiar is those insect and bird scripts, which are Qiang characters. However, unlike the Qiang characters, these texts appear to be even more ancient and complex. In comparison, the Yi script seems like a simplified version. This indirectly suggests that the history of this place goes further back in time.

  It's just a pity that this isn't an archaeological expedition, their purpose is very clear, and the location has basically been locked down. Looking up at the towering mountain and the dazzling sun on its peak, as long as they reach the summit, many questions will probably be answered.

  History will always be like this, leaving only traces, bringing to later generations only speculation and possible restoration. Zha Wenbin touched the sundial in his hand, as if he felt something was strongly calling him, a sense of belonging, from history's belonging.

  "If we don't reach the top of the mountain before dark, let's not move in the dark. Currently, we have the upper hand and they are still unclear about our situation, so let's just find a hidden place to spend the night. I think since the sun and moon are a pair, even if he takes one away, it's no big deal. As long as we don't mess up our formation, I'm not afraid that he won't show up on his own initiative."

  This mountain is much easier to climb than they imagined, as there are stairs here, and neat long strips of stone are laid on the ground, just like Mount Tai in Shandong Province, winding all the way up to the top.

  Going up ten flights of stairs is a test of leg strength. In fact, it's true that although there are landings, moving around actually makes you more tired.

  No one has ever counted how many steps there are here, nor does anyone know how those people managed to build such a massive project. In short, they did not reach their intended destination before nightfall and only got halfway when the moon began to come out.

  They found a temporary place to stay near the grass thicket, and this night was not for sleeping. Cha Wenbin set up various alarms with threads, and even small copper bells were hung on all the surrounding trees and vines that could be hung. As long as there was a gust of wind or rustling of grass, they would receive reports.

  Chaozi and Zhuoxiong held the loaded guns, constantly patrolling back and forth to prevent any danger that might appear from any direction. Chaowenbin was not idle either, he and Zheruo designed simple traps, the kind of snare hunters use to catch wild beasts. Zheruo was very skilled at this.

  Kunlun's mighty energy, dragon's aura soaring to the sky, no evil spirit can survive here, so he didn't have any defense mechanism at all. What needs to be guarded against in the end is human beings; the human heart is many times more terrifying than ghosts.

  Cha Wenbin didn't want any of his friends to get hurt, and he also wanted to bring everyone out safely. He silently prayed in his heart.

  Suddenly, Cha Wenbin grabbed a handful of ingots from his bag and scattered them down the mountain, saying: "Old Knife, didn't you say you wanted to protect us? If you have any knowledge after death, I hope you can make one last effort to help me get through this disaster!"
