Chapter: 5758
Lin Wan'er replied, "One hundred percent."
Leaf asked, "How can you be so confident?"
Nearby mountains are not high, and the elevation difference between the mountain peaks and ground level is only a few hundred to over a thousand meters. The difficulty of climbing is very small, plus the scenic views along the way, you can gaze out at the entire Erhai Lake, so this route has become an excellent hiking route for many young people in recent years.
Leaf and Lin Wan'er were advancing towards the mountain pass on their path, and they gradually encountered many outdoor enthusiasts wearing trekking gear. After arriving at the foot of the mountain, where the road becomes narrower, there are even more hikers.
Lin Wan'er kept looking left and right, and by the time she was almost at the foot of the mountain, her expression had become quite excited and agitated.
She saw the mountain pass above and whispered to Leaf: "Three hundred years ago, I came up this mountain from here. At that time, there was a small path here, which was trampled out by locals. Who would have thought that three hundred years later, this path would still be here."
Leaf smiled and said: "Climbing and walking are different. Climbing relies on the best route. Once the best route is found, as long as the mountain terrain doesn't change, this route won't change either."
"Yes," Lin Wan'er nodded lightly and said: "The route hasn't changed much, but the flavor has already been lost from before. Now there are many human-made signs everywhere, including the road being specially paved and stairs built. There are also too many people compared to before. Back then, there were hardly any people around, and nearby mountains were all ancestral tombs of local villagers. Hikers usually go up this mountain for ancestor worship."
Leaf looked around and smiled: "Human-made signs have their advantages too. It seems that there are a lot of people coming up the mountain every day. There are monitors everywhere, and many forest fire prevention monitors as well. If Wu Feiyun comes here, she will definitely be unable to escape this kind of all-round monitoring range. When the time comes, we can ask Mr. Sun to think about how to get all the monitoring information and maybe we can find Wu Feiyun's trail."
Lin Wan'er asked him: "If we really can pinpoint Wu Feiyun's trail here, what will you do next?"
Leaf said confidently: "From here to 10,000 Mountains, there is still a thousand kilometers of road. Wu Feiyun cannot walk this distance, and she certainly won't take the plane or train either. The most possible scenario is that she will drive. As long as we can find her trail and lock onto her vehicle, we should be able to capture her real-time dynamics."
As he spoke, Leaf added: "Currently, road monitoring is everywhere. Any road that allows motor vehicles has traffic cameras. I heard that the transportation department has a large database, with monitoring probes all over the country. They can identify vehicle license plates. If we get their data, we can obtain the real-time information on each vehicle's entry and exit times as well as specific locations. With these information, we can outline Wu Feiyun's actions in real-time, and once her vehicle loses its trace, that location is probably not far from where Meng Changsheng used to meditate."
"Yes," Lin Wan'er nodded lightly and said: "Public officer, Wu Feiyun hasn't left China yet, you mustn't enter Ten Thousand Mountains before then. You're not her match currently, so be sure to avoid her prying eyes."
Leaf smiled and said: "Don't worry, I'm not a roughneck. I still have some self-awareness."
Lin Wan'er relaxed: "That's good..."
The two of them walked over the first mountain ridge and then climbed up another mountain that looked like a turtle shell.
Since this is the second mountain on the hiking trail, there aren't fewer people here than at the first mountain.
Lin Wan'er introduced Leaf to the area: "This mountain looks like a turtle shell. Its name is Turtle Shell Mountain, which is a rare and valuable fengshui site in the neighborhood. When my great-grandfather was the county head, he spent a lot of thought selecting this mountain as our family's ancestral tomb."
Leaf asked curiously: "Is the entire mountain your great-grandfather's ancestral tomb?"
"Yes," Lin Wan'er nodded, saying: "This area has the momentum of a dragon wrapped around a mountain. It's a very good type in terms of fengshui, and selecting this site as our family's ancestral tomb could bless later generations with prosperity, good fortune, and wealth. Unfortunately, the Big Ming Dragon Channel was destroyed, and the nation's fortune underwent a great change. Once the nation's fortune changes, all the wind and water oracles inside will be affected, and the original fengshui site will also lose its efficacy for benefiting later generations."
As she spoke, Lin Wan'er took Leaf's hand and suddenly left the stone steps to bring him directly to a flat area halfway up the mountain.
At this moment, the flat area was dotted with signs of camping, including many stakes used to secure windbreaks. You could also see the shapes of several tents. Leaf guessed that this must have already become an outdoor enthusiasts' camping base.
"Yes," Lin Wan'er gazed into the distance, discovering a dense and lush Diannan cypress tree not far away. Her heart suddenly leapt with joy, and she said to Leaf: "That's my grandfather's ancestral tomb, my father's burial mound, located at the northwest corner of that Diannan cypress tree."
Leaf glanced over, but didn't see any signs of a tomb nearby, so he asked Lin Wan'er: "Your grandfather's family didn't leave behind any stone tablets?"
Lin Wan'er whispered: "Originally, there were tombstones. I even carved one for my parents, but later on, it was said that all the tombstones of my grandfather's family were smashed to pieces by someone using brute force, including our family's tombstone. It's likely that Wu Feiyan did this, she hates my parents' guts and dug up their tombstone without remorse." JrNovels.com
