C711

Old Yang was at a loss. The horizontal and horizontal interface had changed, and he was not used to the new interface.

Before he familiarized himself with the new interface, if he neglected the rewards of any of the young masters, Old Yang would apologize here.

Seeing the two of them chatting happily, Martin, who was at the side, hurriedly coughed dryly and said, "You haven't answered this question yet." Is it really okay to just leave me aside and chat with my sister?

Only then did Xiao Peng realize that Martin was still staring at him. He quickly said, "Didn't I just say that I want to continue walking down Route 1?" Aren't you going back to Idaho tomorrow? "It's okay, I'll go alone tomorrow morning."

Martin laughed: "In fact, things have changed. We're not going back to Idaho tomorrow. "

"Yes, this afternoon, there is a message from the Association of Professionals. There will be a storage auction in the town of Santa Cruz the day after tomorrow. I heard that there are seven warehouses, including two medium-sized warehouses and five mini warehouses. We would like to take a look. How about it? Do you want to go with us?"

"Medium-sized warehouse?" The medium-sized warehouses in the Starlight Country were not small at all. Each of them was about 200 to 300 square meters. Usually, small scale enterprises would rent them to be used as warehouses or the like. So you can always get good stuff. No wonder Sean and Martin didn't go back to Idaho, they were going to make a fortune.

Xiao Peng took out the map and looked at it. The town of Santa Cruz was about in the middle of Route 1. Xiao Peng nodded. "Of course I'm willing to continue with your free ride. Amelia, what about you? "

Xiao Peng shrugged, "Then I'll thank you guys tomorrow. Speaking of which, why does the town of Santa Cruz sound so familiar?"

Amelia smiled. "It was one of the earliest counties in California."

Xiao Peng thought for a while before clapping his hands, "I know! Isn't Santa Cruz the place where Newton could lift the coffin? "

Amelia snapped her fingers. "You're right! It's that weird place! "

There were always places in the world that people could not explain with science.

In the town of Santa Cruz, there is a place called 'mystic spot', which means' mysterious place '. People preferred to call it the Devil's Land. In this forest, there were two mysterious rocks and two mysterious huts. However, they didn't follow the explanation given by the Earth's physics and gravity theory. Here, they would often see birds fly and fall to the ground, and the trees here would grow at an angle to the normal trees beside them.

At the entrance of the mysterious zone, there was a slanted wooden frame that formed a strange slope. One head was high and the other was low, the height was 20 centimeters. If one stood at a high point, they would appear even taller and thicker. Some people thought it was possible that they were not on the same level, but that they were still standing on the same level when they tested it on the same level. There were also people who used a ruler to measure the height of a person standing on a stone slab. The result was exactly the same as usual. It seemed like the increase and shrinking of the human body was a mistake on the part of the human eye, or was it some other reason?

It was about fifty centimeters long and twenty centimeters wide. The two flagstones were only forty centimeters apart and looked no different from ordinary flagstones, but once someone stood on them, a bizarre phenomenon would immediately appear. One would make one appear tall, while the other would make one look short and fat. The same person stood on two different slabs of stone and turned into two people of different sizes. The reason for this was the same as the wooden frame. Like the strange slope, the two strange rocks were on the same level, and there was no change in one's height.

The wooden house was even more peculiar. As soon as they entered the room, a powerful force would immediately attack them, as if there was a huge force that was trying to push them away from the spot. Those with agility would be able to grab onto their hands and fight against this force, but after fighting for a while, they would feel dizzy like they were seasick.

In another wooden house, there was a metal chain hanging from a beam. At the end of the chain, there was a round plate tied to it. It looked heavy, like a pendulum in a clock. This chain was also unique. He could swing it if he pushed it in a certain direction, but if he pushed it in the opposite direction with all his might, it would remain motionless. If no one touched this chain, it would automatically draw circles every five or six minutes, like a ghost.

Some people once suspected that there was a strong magnetic field here, but professionals who had come here to explore didn't find anything special. Others said that this was the place where aliens had buried airships, but after careful study, they didn't find anything special.

Some said it was a visual error, some said it was a gravity shift, some said it was because of the magnetic field, and some even said it was because of the aliens! But no one can prove their point. Whether it was the strange slope, the mysterious wooden house, or the two slabs of limestone, none of the scientists could explain it clearly. This was because the law of gravity had been completely violated there!

So the town of Santa Cruz not only attracted tourists from all over the world, but also attracted the attention of many scientists, hoping to solve the mystery here. However, it might be as Xiao Peng had said; it might only be possible for Newton to open the coffin.

"Is it far from here?" Xiao Peng asked.

"Of course it's not far. We should be there in four hours." Martin said.

Xiao Peng laughed, "Then I will definitely go. I want to see that mysterious place. Amelia, what about you? Do you want to go for a walk? "

Sean whistled, "Then it's settled!" The auction will start the day after tomorrow, and we'll set off together tomorrow. So you guys can go to the 'mysteryspot' and take a look. I've been there, and it's really interesting. Xiao, when the time comes, let's see your observation skills.

Xiao Peng made an 'OK' gesture and Martin jokingly scolded, "You only know how to get rich. You're really too philistine."

Sean pouted. "Are you kidding me?" "What about you?"

Martin said disdainfully, "Of course I'm not as mediocre as you." Then, Martin smiled at Xiao Peng: "Hey, Xiao, didn't you say you would give me a surprise? What kind of surprise is this? "

"Tsk." Everyone gave Martin a middle finger. Xiao Peng smiled and said, "Of course I will remember what I said, but I still lack some silver." I'll go find some silver tomorrow. "

"Silver?" Are you useful? I have one here. " "Is that enough?" asked Lucien as he took out a piece of silver from the cart.

Xiao Peng nodded. "It must be enough. Why do you still have money on you?"

Xi En gave Xiao Peng an answer, "Even though I have already left the reserve, a person can't forget their roots, right? A large part of our tribe's income project is the production of handmade silver products. Every time I left home, I brought some silver with me. When I was free, I would make some handmade silver products to commemorate my hometown. Even if that place is even more backward and poor, isn't that still my home? "

Sean's words made Xiao Peng look at him in a new light. Sean had come from the Indian Reservation, and their goal was to change their way of life so that they wouldn't forget their own people. This was probably the nature of the yellow race. Everywhere he went, he would focus on his home.

Xiao Peng took the silver. "Thanks. I'll return the rest to you."

"Keep it, it's not like it's valuable. If you really want to thank me, you can show off your divine might the day after tomorrow. Bring us all the treasures in the warehouse back to Idaho! " Sean said exaggeratedly.

Xiao Peng raised his wine cup. "Let us toast to the treasures in the warehouse!"

"Oh, cheers!"

With the exception of Xiao Peng, the other three men finally got drunk. Xiao Peng carried Sean and Hodgson to their truck, while Mrs. Martin carried Martin back to the truck. These treasure people often ran outside and saved money whenever they could, so they usually stayed in a motel.

Xiao Peng took his luggage from the car and set up the tent. Amelia, too, was setting up a tent, but it looked unpracticed, and it was only with Xiao Peng's help that it was set up.

"Xiao Peng, thank you for helping me set up my tent." Amelia sat down next to Xiao Peng and handed him a can of beer. She opened one for herself and said, "Your alcohol tolerance isn't bad. It's as if you didn't drink after drinking so much."

Xiao Peng was stunned, "Didn't you drink fruit juice? Why is it that we have to drink beer as well? "

Amelia smiled, took a sip, and, after drinking it, frowned. "No matter what, you have to have your first time, don't you? The beer was awful at first, and I don't know why so many people liked it. But after you get used to it, wow, it does taste good. "

Xiao Peng said with a smile, "Just like how others don't understand why you wear sunglasses at night." Amelia didn't take off her sunglasses at night. Xiao Peng guessed that she had a bad eye, but couldn't say it out loud, "Which star are you? Afraid that we would recognize you? "

When Amelia heard this, she took a big gulp of beer. She was so anxious that she choked and coughed non-stop. Xiao Peng quickly patted her back. "We just started drinking beer. Why are you in such a hurry?"

Amelia coughed and waved her hand, indicating that she was fine. Xiao Peng stopped what he was doing and asked, "Why are you so excited? Looks like I got it right. What big star did you do in private? Afraid that we would recognize you? "

Amelia took a deep breath and stopped coughing. She said slowly, "Xiao Peng, I know it's very rude not to take off the sunglasses, but I really don't want to lose a friend I just made."

Xiao Peng was startled. "Amelia, I'm sorry, but I'm just curious. If you don't want to take off your sunglasses, then don't. Everyone has privacy, doesn't they? But believe me, if someone chooses to be your friend because of your looks. Then he's definitely not your true friend. A real friend doesn't care about your appearance. "

"Is this true?" Amelia asked after hearing Xiao Peng's words.

"Believe me, I won't lie to you — there's no prize for lying to you, right?" Xiao Peng laughed, "Unless you have the monster Medusa's eyes, if you look at me once, you will turn me into a rock. Otherwise, I don't think it's likely that you scared me away. " Xiao Peng was even more certain of his point when he heard Amelia's words. It was possible that Amelia didn't take off her sunglasses because she had serious eye problems. That was why he had made a joke to Amelia, telling her to relax.

Medusa might have been one of the most famous monsters in Greek mythology, and when the name was mentioned, people thought of a woman with a head of snake hair who stared who was pregnant, oh no, staring who was turned to stone. The brand name of the famous luxury brand, Fan Sizhe, is Medusa's face.

Amelia shook her head. "Medusa was not a monster," she said. "Medusa was a very beautiful woman, with dark hair as smooth as water. All the men in Greece wanted her for their own. However, this was only a dream. It was impossible to marry Medusa. That is because Medusa is a priest of Athena, and she has made an oath that she will never marry, that she will remain loyal, that she will serve the goddess Athena wholeheartedly, and that she will be pure and flawless. "

Xiao Peng was stunned, "Eh? What about this part? "Then how did she become a monster in the end?"

"It was the values of all Greeks, so to speak, that made Medusa together with God." "Because Medusa was so beautiful, Poseidon defiled her in the Parthenon," said Amelia, sighing. According to ancient Greek custom, a tainted woman could no longer marry, no longer have a normal marriage, and similarly, Medusa could no longer serve the goddess. It is also because of this that the tragedy of Medusa ended. "

"Hmm? She was humiliated by someone, so why is it that she got into trouble instead? " Xiao Peng was puzzled. Poseidon should be out of luck, right? This bastard was a rapist. Speaking of which, why were all the gods in Greek mythology like this? "Zeus and Poseidon are the same. In comparison, Hades is the most pure of them all. Well, he's also a man who steals women. It's no wonder he's like three brothers!" Xiao Peng didn't know where to start.

This Greek myth was simply a history of the Maharet.
