······
Just after Sun Haoran and others left the venue and walked a short distance away, they were blocked by two deacons dressed in black.
"What are you going to do?"
Feng Baobao said that he was about to step forward and throw the two guys aside, but fortunately Zhang Chulan reached out in time to stop them.
"hey-hey……"
Zhang Chulan scratched his head and asked with a smile, "You two, what are you doing?"
"Zhang Chulan, right?"
One of them looked at Zhang Chulan for a moment to confirm, and then said, "Two old men, Lu Ci and Wang Ai, please come over..."
With that said, the two of them separated to make way for each other and made a gesture of invitation.
"Huh? Sorry, I'm so kind that I don't know the two old men you're talking about."
Zhang Chulan was a little embarrassed and wanted to refuse.
But the two men had no intention of giving up and continued, "But these two old men know your grandfather, are you sure you don't want to go?"
"..."
Zhang Chulan was silent for a while.
He came to Longhu Mountain just to find out about his grandfather. It was obvious that the other party had dug a hole for him to jump into, and it seemed that he had to jump into it.
"Can my companion come with me?"
"Sorry, the two old men only invited you."
"Is that so..." Zhang Chulan gave Sun Haoran and Feng Baobao a questioning look. After seeing both of them nodding, he felt relieved a little.
"Okay, please two of you lead the way."
"please."
"Then what should we two do?" Feng Baobao tilted his head and asked as he watched Zhang Chulan follow the two men in black.
Xu San told her before leaving that she should listen to Sun Haoran for advice if anything happens. According to Xu San's words, "Although you are very clever, baby, it is better to leave things like brainstorming to my younger brother."
"Don't worry, nothing will happen."
Sun Haoran shrugged and said nonchalantly, "He should be able to get some clues about his grandfather there. Follow him and bring him back if there is any danger."
"Na Nan?" Feng Baobao was a little confused.
She heard that this guy seemed to have other things to do.
"I...there are some things I want to investigate."
Sun Haoran said, looking at the petite back not far away.
He was very curious about why Zero appeared here, and it didn't seem like the person brought by Anger, because if Angers and the Ten Lao people stood together, it would be very simple to arrange for someone to participate in the Luotian Festival. Things, and Zero seems to have been involved through abnormal means.
What's strange is that the organizer has taken no action against this behavior...
All he could think of was that Lu Mingze might have played a role in it.
But, what does participating in such a competition mean to them? If you really want to do something, it's better to do it secretly, right?
Thinking of this, he said goodbye to Feng Baobao and followed him quietly.
······
Beside the cliff of Longhu Mountain.
Sun Haoran looked down at the cliff and frowned slightly.
This was the cliff that had to be crossed on the way to the venue.
This was the place where he felt Zero finally disappear. In other words...he lost track of him.
This is completely impossible.
With his perceptual ability, he followed from a distance, at least several hundred meters away. Nowadays, the back hill is densely populated, and the distance between the two people can be said to be absolutely safe. There is no chance that Zero will find that he is being followed. It is even less likely that he will suddenly disappear from his range of perception.
Unless——Lu Mingze helped cover up her traces.
"So...is there anything special around here?"
Sun Haoran looked down at the bottomless cliff and murmured to himself.
······
Below the cliff, perhaps because it is inaccessible, the environment here has not been damaged. It is even more lush than the development area above the valley and even makes it difficult to travel.
A petite figure moved forward like a civet walking through the jungle, waving its claws as it pushed aside the weeds.
Finally, they stopped in front of a deep cave that could only accommodate one person.
This seems to be a natural crack on the cliff, and no one knows where it leads.
After arriving here, the girl slowly took off the protective clothing she wore to prevent scratches on her skin. The clothes slipped off her jade-like skin, and her crystal skin was reflected in the sunlight secretly shining down from above the valley. Gives off an alluring light.
But the light only flickered for a moment, because she quickly got into the crack, and her long golden hair swept away, leaving a faint fragrance.
"The boss is so kind to you. He didn't prepare protective clothing for me when I came here."
A complaining female voice sounded after Zero got into the crack, "Oh... I guess it's because she is a thick-skinned old woman~"
A pair of slender legs walked out of the shadows. Mai Shutoku folded her hands in front of her chest and looked at Zero who came here with interest.
"How's it going? Did the person the boss wanted take the bait?"
"I don't know. I just followed the instructions and came here at the right time. As for whether he followed, I don't know..."
The expression on Zero's face didn't change much, and he answered calmly.
"Forget it." Seeing the machine-like reply of the Sanwu girl in front of her, Mai Shutoku shrugged slightly, "But since the boss has no new instructions, the other party should have taken the bait."
"Stop talking nonsense, Long Legs, let's get to work."
An urging voice came from the earphones.
"Urgent! Why are you urging! You potato chip girl, you're not here in a dark and humid place. Of course you can relax." Mai Shutoku rolled her eyes.
But the body still moved honestly.
It's just the boss's task.
She gently took off the windbreaker draped over her shoulders to keep out the cold, revealing the proud figure that made all men's blood boil like a tide and the bikini swimsuit that was as seductive as flames.
"Can you explain why we wear bathing suits for this mission?"
Mai Shutoku threw the useless windbreaker aside somewhere out of the way, then put on the diving equipment that had been prepared and asked with some confusion.
That's right, not only her, but even Zero, who came here, was wearing a bikini underneath after taking off his protective clothing.
But the style is completely different. Zero is wearing a pure white bikini that looks innocent. Although her figure is not as hot as hers, it still looks like it fits the fetish of a certain otaku.
They came here for a dive mission. There was a spring extending out of this crack. According to the investigation she came to live in, there seemed to be a deep underground river under the spring.
This puzzled Mai Shutoku. Shouldn't a mission like this be done in a diving suit? Although a bikini is also a swimsuit, it always feels weird. No matter what she thinks, this is because the guy who bought the equipment has ulterior motives!
"Legend has it that this spring water was the spiritual spring used by Zhang Daoling, the founder of Zhengdao, when he was refining elixirs. It is only good for you, so in order to increase the area of body contact with the spring water, I specially chose such a 'diving suit'. Hehe...hehe …”
A giggle came from the earphones. If this wasn't a beautiful enough female voice, anyone would think of her as an LSP.
But Su Enxi still wants to clarify that she is not old.
"Come on, come on, you two stand together, take a photo together and send it to me. I want to keep it!"
"Dream, you..."
Mai Shutoku shook her head helplessly, shattering the unrealistic fantasy of the fat girl who was sitting in the conductor's safe nest somewhere.
"And increase the contact area...do you think I believe it?"
As she spoke, she inserted her fingertips into the slit of her bikini bottoms and flicked them, "Why don't you just let us strip naked? There's no one else here anyway."
"Ahem...I think it can be done."
Su Enxi said nonsense seriously.
She now regrets not installing cameras on those equipment. This is a good opportunity to take rare limited photos!
While the two were communicating, Zero also silently put on his equipment and came to Shutoku Mai. Although she didn't speak, anyone could see that 'I'm ready' was written on her face.
"Hiss—it's so cold."
Although it is not winter now, the so-called "spiritual spring" hidden deep in the mountains is still bone-chillingly cold, and it may actually have a body-training effect.
"Why do we have to go down first? Since the white mouse has taken the bait, why don't we just let him explore by himself?" Mai Shutoku retracted her feet, which were not used to the cold spring water, and complained.
She is increasingly confused about what her boss wants to do, to pave the way for a guy she doesn't even know? She didn't remember that her boss was such a bad person! And they are the ones who suffer...
"Ka - how can I know if you ask me?"
Su Enxi replied while chewing potato chips, "If I can figure out the boss's mind, then I will be the boss. Then I can do whatever I want to you two girls, hehehehe..."
"..."
Mai Shutoku was speechless.
She sat down gently, and like Zero next to her, she gradually submerged her long legs into the bone-chilling spring water, adapting to the water temperature.
"Okay, let's get ready to start the mission, so what is there down there that deserves the boss's attention?"
“This still has to start with Zhang Daoling, the founder of Zhengdao.”
Su Enxi's tone finally became more serious. Although she was usually unreliable, she was quite professional when performing tasks.
"Do you know the origin of the name of Longhu Mountain?"
"There is an old saying in China, knowing something means knowing it, not knowing means not knowing it, it means knowing." Mai Shutoku replied angrily.
"Ah? What do you mean? Do you still have research on these long legs?" Su Enxi was stunned.
"If you know, just say it. If you don't know, just shut up, or I'll slap you." Jiudoku Mai gritted her teeth and translated, "Girl, are you itchy again? Be careful, I'll go back and deal with you! Stop talking so much nonsense. , explain the situation quickly and we are preparing to dive. If that guy really catches up, he should be here in a while. I don’t want to give benefits to a guy I don’t know.”
"Okay, okay, isn't there a sensor at the door? No one has come in yet."
Su Enxi continued calmly, "It is said that this is the place where Zhang Daoling made elixirs. It is said that there was a strange phenomenon in the sky and the earth at that time, 'the elixir was completed and the dragon and tiger appeared', and the name of Longhu Mountain was derived from this."
"Is it so mysterious? Is it possible that Zhang Daoling is really an immortal? What kind of elixir is he practicing here?" Mai Jiude asked with a frown.
"I don't know if he is an immortal, but the 'dragon and tiger appear' may be true. But it is not because he made elixirs, but because there is really a dragon under the spring..." Su Enxi replied without interest, "According to my theory It is speculated that Zhang Daoling probably suppressed the dragon clan down here, and also wanted to use his power to refine elixirs, break through the bottleneck, and become a true immortal!"
"Becoming an immortal? Is this really possible?"
Mai Shutoku asked in a lack of interest.
She has always been skeptical about the existence of gods, Buddhas and immortals. After all, they are only things that exist in legends and no one has ever seen them with their own eyes.
According to her understanding, this may be closer to an existence like the legendary 'Black King', who is regarded as a 'god' because he possesses power that is difficult for people to understand. But in fact, he was just the king of the dragon clan, and he fell in the end.
"So is this Dao Ling really ascended to immortality or was he poisoned by the elixir he made?"
"Who knows?"
Su Enxi on the other end of the headset was equally uninterested.
In the final analysis, this kind of thing is not something they should consider as part-time workers. At best, it is just a chat before the mission. After all, you can't know anything about where you are going before executing the mission.
"Okay, I'm done. Anyway, there is probably a dragon sealed here hidden here. Are you ready?"
"OK."
Mai Shutoku glanced in Zero's direction, and after the other party nodded, she replied with a smile.
"However, I haven't come here for a long time. Can that kid really find me here?"
Before diving down, Mai Shutoku looked back towards the entrance with some worry. If the rightful owner didn't come, wouldn't their work have been in vain?
"Don't worry, the boss will notify me if something unexpected happens."
After receiving Su Enxi's affirmative reply, the two pairs of Golden Boys flashed away in the dark environment and submerged into the water.
Not long after the two of them sneaked into the 'Spiritual Spring', another pair of slightly bright golden boys flashed in from the outside.
Sun Haoran frowned and looked at the windbreaker on the ground, and then at the clothes in his hands.
One he found at the door, and the other was thrown carelessly into the cave.
What they have in common is...both of these clothes have a nice feminine scent.
Ahem, let me clarify, he does not have a special habit of picking up women's clothes. He just followed these clues and found this place.
There seemed to be nothing in front of him except a spring.
It is impossible for a woman in this deep mountain and old forest to come to such a cave to bathe. It was obvious that these two pieces of clothing were left behind specially by the other party.
In Sun Haoran's view, this is simply a contradiction.
When he was following Zero, he went out of his way to hide Zero's aura and left such obvious clues. What was he trying to do? It can't be a test for him...or is it buying time for the people who work here?
