Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Zhang Qiling carried Wu Xie on his back, and Jiang Xinxin dragged Xie Yuchen. After walking for more than an hour, Wu Xie woke up first.

"Bro……"

Zhang Qiling just said "hmm" again, but Wu Xie thought of Xie Yuchen who was traveling with him, and quickly leaned on Zhang Qiling and asked, "Where's Xiaohua?"

Zhang Qiling was very frugal with words: "Behind."

When Wu Xie turned around, he saw Jiang Xinxin raising her hand and waving at him happily. Of course he recognized that this was the girl he and Jie Yuchen had followed before.

Patting Zhang Qiling on the shoulder to indicate that he wanted to get out of bed and walk, Wu Xie first expressed his gratitude to Jiang Xinxin.

"I don't know the girl's name yet. My name is Wu Xie, I'm from Hangzhou, and I'm going to find the West Queen Mother Palace. The one on the ground is Xie Yuchen, nicknamed Xiaohua, he's from Beijing, and he's also going to the West Queen Mother Palace. And this guy, his name is Zhang Qiling, he has no fixed place to live, so he's easy to get lost."

At the end, Wu Xie secretly curled his lips at Zhang Qiling, obviously dissatisfied with the fact that Zhang Qiling was prone to disappearance.

However, Jiang Xinxin just watched the fun and imitated Wu Xie to introduce herself: "My name is Jiang Xinxin, the Xinxin of Xinxin students. I also have no fixed place to live. Now I am also going to the West Queen Mother Palace."

Wu Xie was delighted at first, but after taking a closer look at Jiang Xinxin, he couldn't help but ask, "Miss Jiang, you don't look like a hired hand like Aning, so why do you want to go to the Queen Mother of the West Palace? Are you also pursuing immortality?"

Jiang Xinxin waved her hands and shook her head, denying, "No, no, no, I'm not pursuing immortality. I went to the Queen Mother of the West Palace because the real owner asked me to help Him get rid of the fakes who used His name."

Wu Xie didn't quite understand, but his mind was quite flexible. "You mean, there is someone in the Queen Mother of the West's palace who has assumed someone else's name, and now the real owner is here to investigate, so that's why you are here?"

After getting Jiang Xinxin's affirmative answer, Wu Xie made a bold guess: "Could that fake be the Queen Mother of the West?"

Jiang Xinxin confirmed again: "Yes, that fake is the so-called Queen Mother of the West."

Jiang Xinxin told the truth, but Wu Xie didn't believe it. He knew the status of the Queen Mother of the West in mythology. The Classic of Mountains and Seas directly recorded: "Yushan is where the Queen Mother of the West lives. The Queen Mother of the West looks like a human, with a leopard tail and tiger teeth, and is good at howling. She has disheveled hair and wears a crested bird. She is the God of Heaven and the Five Remnants."

The Classic of Mountains and Seas also records that the Queen Mother of the West is the only god who possesses the elixir of immortality.

Wu Xie said: "I don't believe that ghosts and gods really exist in this world. As for those records in ancient times, they are nothing more than the ancients seeing incomprehensible natural phenomena, so they made them into myths."

Jiang Xinxin shrugged her shoulders and said, if you don’t want to believe it, then don’t believe it. She herself didn’t believe it at first, but she believed it after she died.

After walking for more than two hours, Zhang Qiling led them to a new campsite where many tents had been set up. The leader, Aning, looked at Jiang Xinxin carefully and agreed to her joining, but also said, "I won't pay for her, and I won't take care of her food and equipment."

Zhang Qiling just nodded this time, and Jiang Xinxin agreed to Aning's arrangement: "I have already made preparations. Since I am just traveling with you, I will not participate in your actions. Of course, I will not take your so-called spoils of war."

"So, don't say anything unpleasant. My hearing is more sensitive than you can imagine, and my methods are more ruthless than you can imagine."

So Aning quickly winked at a few of his subordinates who were obviously angry, and whispered: "They followed Zhang Qiling all the way here. According to what the young master said before, they were also lucky to have been led by that girl. But look at their immaculate appearance, they are even more powerful than Zhang Qiling!"

Jiang Xinxin stood in front of the tent assigned to her by Zhang Qiling and let those people look at her. She knew that they indeed did not find any sand or dust on her. Looking at her rosy cheeks, they reminded each other to hurry up and do their work.

A man wearing sunglasses and a black jacket settled down after understanding Yuchen, then approached Jiang Xinxin with a smile, took out a bowl of fried rice and promoted it to her: "Miss Jiang, would you like some green pepper and shredded pork fried rice? It's 100 yuan per bowl. In the desert, it's not like I'm making money from you."

Jiang Xinxin casually reached into her backpack and pulled out a large bottle of iced cola, a domestically produced Very Cola, and stuffed it directly into Black Glasses' arms, saying casually, "It's my treat."

After saying that, he turned around and went into the tent with his backpack.

The man with black glasses felt the cool touch in his arms and looked at the fine bubbles in the bottle. He turned to the two bonfires and screamed like a screaming chicken: "Coke! Ice-cold Coke!"

Jiang Xinxin was packing her backpack in the tent when she heard a commotion outside, the sound of thugs, and the man with black glasses lecturing someone, "Don't shake it. Once you open the bottle, it will burst out. Do you know how valuable this thing is in the desert?!"

The group of people were indeed extremely careful even when opening the bottle, letting out the air bit by bit, for fear of wasting a drop of Coke. With this bottle of iced Coke, the atmosphere between the three groups of people became much better, and Aning became even more wary of this young girl who suddenly appeared.

However, she had come back with Zhang Qiling, and now half of her men were killed. She had no chance of winning against Zhang Qiling and his men, so she could only be on guard.

The next morning, everyone got in the car and continued to head towards the Queen Mother of the West Palace. According to the guide's instructions, they had camped in an abandoned river channel last night. Now they just needed to follow the direction of the abandoned river channel to find the Queen Mother of the West Palace.

However, after driving for a day, they finally came to a desert. The guide's grandson did not agree to set up camp there. He told them that next to this place was the legendary Devil City, which was a punishment from the gods to punish people for their laziness.

Jiang Xinxin sat aside waiting for Zhang Qiling to set up the tent. When Wu Xie was looking for a place to pitch the tent, he found a human hand sticking out of the ground. He quickly called everyone to come and dig the person out. Aning was sure that this was one of their own as soon as he saw the person's equipment. After digging him out and rescuing him, the person was soon out of danger.

Not only that, he could also speak and tell everyone that a man named Lao Gao brought a few people into the Devil City.

Aning looked at the entrance of the Devil City thoughtfully. No one on Zhang Qiling's side spoke, but the guide's grandson Zhaxi advised Aning not to go in. Apart from the factors of myths and legends, the terrain inside was very complicated and not suitable for entering.
