Hua Muling looked at me and nodded slightly, and said: "Judging from the existing information, it should be like this... But the Fountain of Youth mentioned by Zuoda Ryuji in his diary, if I guessed correctly, should be It was brought back to the island country by the Japanese."
I nodded and said, "It's very possible!"
"Then here's the question!" Xiong Ming said from the side: "Since these guys have obtained the Fountain of Youth, why do they come back again?"
When I heard this, I gave Xiong Ming a thumbs up and said, "You finally got the point!"
After saying this, I turned to look at Hua Muling and asked, "Did the man named Zuoda Ryuji mention this in his diary?"
Hua Muling lowered her head and flipped through a few pages of the diary, then said slowly: "It seems that he really mentioned this matter..."
I hurriedly asked: "How did you say that?"
Hua Muling read the diary carefully for a long time, and after a while she slowly began to tell the story about Zuotian Ryuji.
Zuotian Ryuuji had long heard the legend about the Fountain of Youth. It was said that this was the holy water from the Kunlun Immortal Palace, which could help people live forever and even transform into immortals.
Zuoda Ryuji was very excited, but he did not show it on the surface, so it did not arouse the suspicion of others.
After working in the underground base for about a month, Zuotian Ryuuji had been doing data collection work during this period, but soon he discovered that in addition to Songtaoshan, Guizhou, China, the data they collected also included There are many contents about the northwest region, and two of them even involve the ancient city of Xiye.
Zuotian Ryuji was very curious. The Fountain of Youth last appeared in Songtao Mountain in Guizhou. Why did the organization want to collect information about Xiye Ancient City?
So Zuoda Ryuji thought about it and wanted to check it out.
But the underground base was extremely tightly guarded, and Ryuuji Zuotian could never find a suitable opportunity. Just when he was about to give up, a man named Muto found him.
】
Zuotian Ryuji didn't know this person's full name. He just knew that his surname was Muto and his status in the organization was quite high.
Zuoda Ryuji looked at the imposing man in front of him and asked, "Excuse me, Mr. Muto, what do you want from me?"
Muto looked at Zuotian Ryuji and said without hesitation: "I know you have been investigating things about Xiye Ancient City recently..."
Zuoda Ryuuji was shocked when he heard this, and said hesitantly: "No... no... I think Mr. Muto, you may have misunderstood! My job here is to collect information... so..."
Muto didn't let Zuoda Ryuji finish his words, so he interrupted him directly and said: "So, don't you want to know why the organization is investigating the ancient city of Xiye? So, don't you want to go to China to see the Fountain of Youth? So, don't you want to go to China to see the Fountain of Youth? , don’t you want to know the truth about this fountain of youth?”
Zuoda Ryuji was even more shocked when he heard this. He opened his mouth and couldn't say anything for a long time, or to be more precise, he didn't know what he could say at all.
Seeing that Zuoda Ryuji was silent, Muto continued: "Now I want to form a team of 6 people to go to China for a trip. The reason why I am like this I took the liberty to come to you just to ask Zuotian... are you interested in joining us?"
Zuoda Ryuji looked at the man in front of him, and it took him a long time before he said, "You... why are you going to China?"
Wu Teng smiled when he heard this and said, "What to do? What else to do? Of course, find the Fountain of Youth?"
Zuotian Ryuji said: "Didn't you already find the Fountain of Youth?"
Muto couldn't help but grinned after hearing Zuotian Ryuji's words, and said: "Hahaha... My naive Mr. Zuotian, do you think that is really the fountain of youth?"
"What?" Zuotian Ryuuji didn't believe his ears, so he opened his mouth and asked, "Mr. Muto, what do you mean by this? Is the fountain of youth in the base...not real?"
Muto did not directly answer Zuoda Ryuji's words, but patted Zuoda Ryuji on the shoulder, put his mouth to his ear and whispered: "If you want to find the real secret of the Fountain of Youth, then come to me. … In three days, I will take you to China to find the real Fountain of Youth!”
After Muto left, Ryuji Zuoda didn't sleep a wink for three whole days. One question kept repeating in his head, that is, "Where is the real Fountain of Youth? What is the real Fountain of Youth?"
After struggling for three days, Zuotian Ryuuji chose to follow Muto to China.
Counting Muto and Ryuuji Zuoda, there are six members in the team, two of whom are women. The taller one is relatively good-looking and is called Kijin Ami, who is a geology expert. The shorter one is fatter. It's called Matsushima Kyoko, and she's an expert in botany.
In addition to these two women, there is also a middle-aged man in his fifties who wears glasses. His name is Ishikawa Suke. This man is mysterious. Ryuuji Zuoda does not know what he does. , but it can be seen from his words that Muto is very respectful to this person.
As for the last person, he was an American. He was very tall, with a muscular body and a sinister appearance. On the surface, he was providing protection to the other people, but in fact, it was more like monitoring their actions.
However, Zuotian Ryuji didn't care about this. For him, the purpose of this trip was to find out the secret of the Fountain of Youth. As for the rest, Zuotian Ryuji didn't care.
According to the records in the diary, Zuotian Ryuji and his party of six came to China by boat and landed in Qingdao.
After they entered the country, they did not rush to the northwest. Instead, they first went from Qingdao to Jinan and found an antique shop called "Yiyuanzhai".
The three of us were shocked when we saw this in the diary.
Xiong Ming patted me hard on the shoulder and said: "Good guy... I didn't expect that your Yiyuanzhai had colluded with the Japanese! If this gets out... your Hu family can't even think about being in Xiabamen. It’s mixed up in there!”
I rolled my eyes at Xiong Ming and said, "You girl will never spit out ivory from your mouth! This diary only says that these three people went to our Yiyuanzhai Shandong branch. Why do you think we are traitors?" "
Seeing that I was a little unhappy, Xiong Ming grinned and said, "Hey! Why am I so anxious to make fun of you?"
I scolded: "Are you kidding me? You are just making a fool of yourself and throwing sand!"
Hua Muling said from the side: "Okay! You two will never be serious together!"
I pointed at Xiong Ming and said, "This is none of my business. It was this kid who started the trouble!"
Xiong Ming said somewhat unhappily: "Why do you rely on me again?"
Seeing what Xiong Ming and I wanted to say, Hua Muling immediately raised his fist and punched us both, and then cursed: "Now is not the time for you two to make trouble, do you still want to get out of this place?" Do you want to figure out what’s going on?”
"Think!" Xiong Ming and I said in unison.
Hua Muling stared and said, "Shut up if you think so!"
