Chapter 36 [Undercurrent]
The results of the college entrance examination will be announced in half a month. During this period, Cangluo No. 1 Middle School, with the support of many companies and families in the county, held the annual graduation trip for the senior high school graduates. This time the destination was It is a newly developed resort in the provincial capital. It is said that you can feel a lot of original ecology.
Since the trip was completely free, many parents were liberated and welcomed it. Ge's father and Ge's mother just told him to pay attention to safety, not to leave the class, not to eat and drink randomly, and not to run around at night.
Ge Xian felt that he was still a child in the eyes of his parents. In fact, he could already walk around the world alone with a sword, but it was hard to say clearly.
Two days later, Ge Xian simply picked up a backpack and took Shushu to take an online taxi to the station. The maglev train was very fast, and it only took an hour and a half to get to the provincial capital.
When we arrived at the station, there was a huge crowd of people, mostly senior high school graduates from No. 1 Middle School. There were still many parents who came to see me off, and most of them were giving advice to their children.
Ge Xian was secretly glad that his parents did not send him off. To be honest, he felt that he was already an adult.
"Gexian!" Many people recognized him and greeted him one after another. In the past six months, Ge Xian has been able to consistently rank in the top three in age in almost all major and minor exams, and has become a star in the school.
In addition, due to his cultivation, his height has now officially reached 180cm, and his skin is so good that girls are amazed, with almost no flaws. His facial features that were not yet developed have basically taken shape at this time, or it may be due to his cultivation. His facial features seem to have been fine-tuned and become more and more perfect. In a word, he is now more than enough to make his debut in the entertainment industry, and he may even become a traffic star.
He has long been recognized by the teachers and students of Cangluo No. 1 Middle School and has become a recognized school belle. He has become a legend alongside Xu Mengjie, the school belle.
Although the two have distanced themselves from each other many times and are rarely together, many classmates, including some teachers, uploaded short videos about the situation that week, including a video of Ge Xian cooking for Xu Mengjie.
They also made all kinds of disgusting titles, such as showing you how the handsome and cruel school boy in our school treats his girlfriend, other boys should learn from it; if life is just like the first meeting, it would be in vain without seeing Ge Xian; etc. When the golden boy and the beautiful girl meet, the love of the autumn moon in the world is strong.
What left Ge Xian speechless was that these videos actually became popular for a while. Some talent scouts even wanted to scout him and offered him a sky-high contract with an annual salary of one million, but Ge's father, Ge's mother and Ge Xian both rejected it. .
If it hadn't been for the short video's popularity later, which triggered a counterattack by various school beauties from other major universities across the country, and a large number of similar videos were released, Ge Xian might have made his debut.
Forget about gossiping, it is now 7:30 in the morning, and there is still an hour before driving. Ge Xian came to the vending machine to buy a drink. He had not had a drink for a long time, and he just couldn't bear it today.
Shushu was kidnapped by Xu Mengjie again, and now he is being teased by a group of girls one by one. Although he wanted to rescue him, he gave up in the end, making every time Shushu came back to him, he felt like he had been ravaged and had no love for the rest of his life. expression.
Ge Xian doesn't want Shushu to appear in human form for the time being. Her current strength is not enough, she is easily exposed, and she is still adapting to the human world.
There were still a lot of people in front of the vending machine, about a dozen people. Ge Xian looked at the other vending machine and found that there were more people, so he did not move.
While listening to Chinese pop music, he looked around. He was wearing sunglasses at the moment. If he looked moderately, he wouldn't worry about being noticed.
At this time, a strange conversation came to my ears:
"Master Ling, is the news this time accurate?"
"There should be no mistake. Many sects should know about the White Jade Spider's appearance by now."
"I heard that the White Jade Spider is really a peerless treasure?"
"That's right, if our brothers can get it, our achievements in the future will be limitless."
"Unfortunately, there are too many opponents, and we are afraid that we are not strong enough."
"Don't be discouraged yet. What if we get it?"
"That's right."
Afterwards, the two people bought the drinks and left together. Ge Xian felt that although the two people controlled their auras very well, he was still aware of them, and their strength seemed to be no weaker than his own.
"White Jade Spider, what kind of treasure is it?" Ge Xian muttered, and then it was his turn to buy a drink. After buying, when he walked back, he met the two people again.
There were several people beside them. Although there was no difference in appearance between these people, when Ge Xian focused his spiritual power on his eyes, he could see that they had individual spiritual powers emanating from them.
Calmly, he slowly walked to a chair nearby and sat down, about five meters away from them. This was the waiting area for another train. He concentrated his spiritual power on his ears, and suddenly he was ten meters away. All sounds within range appeared to his ears.
He concentrated on weakening the voices outside the target group and making the voices of the target group stand out.
"I heard that there will be expert guards around that person. Can we beat him?"
"As long as it's not the most powerful person, we don't have to be afraid."
"It's hard to say, after all, this is the White Jade Spider, the most valuable treasure in the world."
"I'm not sure after reading it. Although the order in the spiritual world is gradually collapsing and no one is in charge of the overall situation, if those old monsters dare to come to the mortal world, they will definitely cause a disaster."
"That's true. It seems you don't have to worry too much."
"Who can't be tempted by the Yaowang Sect's treasures? We'll act according to the plan after we get on the bus."
"Here, young master."
Afterwards, these people stopped talking and began to make preparations.
Although Ge Xian found it strange, he thought that it would be better to do less than to do more, so he got up and left. It was already time to check in.
He stood up and left, inconspicuously like the others.
At this time, due to ticket checking, the queue was a little chaotic. Ge Xian was also squeezed in the queue. Fortunately, his physical fitness is quite good now. This kind of collision and squeeze cannot cause harm to him at all. At the same time, he also touched Wallet and cell phone, nothing was lost.
After getting on the bus, he found his seat and found Xu Mengjie sitting opposite him. Both of them had window seats. They were surrounded by four girls. Sitting with Ge Xian was a girl from the same grade next door. They were so happy. They almost fainted, and they all took out their mobile phones to take photos with him, and made a video with him, which gave Ge Xian a headache.
"You are really the school girl, so many girls like you." Ge Xian snatched the chinchilla from Xu Mengjie's hand and stuffed it into her pocket. She suddenly couldn't find a target to play with and started teasing Ge Xian.
Ge Xian turned on the music and didn't pay much attention to Xu Mengjie's comments. He occasionally responded and smiled mysteriously, which made Xu Mengjie very unhappy.
When the car was about to start, I suddenly saw some commotion from the window. It seemed that seven or eight strong men and women rushed out from the waiting passage, shouting loudly, and seemed to be looking for someone. At this time, several of them The train where Ge Xian was on was exactly two platforms away.
When the car started to move and gradually picked up speed, Ge Xian found that those people suddenly pointed in the direction of the train where he was, and his expression became very angry.
The station staff and police officers had arrived and started to arrest them. However, these people were very skilled. They knocked those people over in a few blows and continued to chase after them. Moreover, they easily leaped across the distance between the platforms. Soon they arrived at the platform where they were, leaving many people stunned.
The teachers ordered the students to stay where they were and not move around, and then quickly communicated with the staff on the bus.
But fortunately, once the speed of the maglev train was raised, it accelerated very quickly. Although those people tried their best to catch up, they were still too late. The car gradually left them behind. At the same time, a group of mysterious people also appeared on the station. They opened fire directly. Those people were shot, but what was shot out of the gun was not bullets, but electric current similar to a stun gun. After these people fell down, they twitched.
Ge Xian only had time to see these for the last time, and then those people completely disappeared from his sight.
"What's going on? Why are those people chasing here? Shouldn't their target be the White Jade Spider?" Ge Xian felt that something was a little strange, maybe something had changed.
Unfortunately, it is difficult to discover the truth at the moment. Ge Xian's spiritual consciousness unfolded and found nothing wrong, but this did not make him feel relaxed, but made him feel pressured.
"Zhushu, I give you a task. You are responsible for going to the carriage at the rear of the car to look for suspicious persons, mainly monks with spiritual powers. I will come to the front of the car myself." Ge Xian took Shushu out and gave the order.
Shushu readily obeyed his orders and even deliberately shrunk his figure so much that it was almost impossible for mortals to notice.
Ge Xian asked Lin Qing, the head teacher, for instructions to go to the toilet. Lin Qing had already received the order to lift the alert from the school leader through his mobile phone, so his request was naturally approved.
"Are you really going to the toilet?" Xu Mengjie glanced at Ge Xian in disbelief.
"How about you follow me and supervise me going to the toilet?" Ge Xian replied angrily.
"Rogue!" Xu Mengjie suddenly spat, but her eyes were a little smug, with a feeling of flirting, which caused some students around to start booing again. Lin Qing and other teachers saw this situation and didn't want to care about it anyway. After graduation, it is no longer their turn to take charge.
After leaving this carriage, Ge Xian quickly focused his spiritual power on his eyes and kept checking the passengers, but found nothing for the time being.
Then he came to the dining car, and the waiter asked him if he wanted to have breakfast. Ge Xian thought about it, then simply stopped and asked for a nutritious breakfast.
There were not many people in the carriage at this time, only about ten guests, traveling in twos and threes.
Ge Xian still found nothing unusual, so he could only continue to search.
Another passenger came in. She was a girl with long flowing hair. She looked like an artist and was carrying a violin bag behind her. She walked slowly towards Ge Xian.
The woman is about the same age as his sister, with a petite figure, shorter than Xu Mengjie, but much plumper. Compared with Xu Mengjie, the latter looks like a little girl.
Ge Xian was a little curious, thinking he was looking for me, but the woman stopped in front of him.
"Do you mind sitting down here?" the woman asked.
It’s strange, the dining car is not crowded, so why do you want to share a table with me?
Ge Xian glanced at her calmly and found that the woman was indeed beautiful in appearance: a high nose, three-dimensional facial features, and eyes that were not of a native color. She had the characteristics of a mixed race. She was an exotic and beautiful woman.
"Whatever." Ge Xian replied a little coldly. He understood that the woman in front of him was not a mortal. Although she covered her spiritual energy well, he could still feel a trace of it.
The woman didn't care about his attitude, put her things away, ordered a nutritious breakfast, and then began to look at Ge Xianlai.
"Are you a student?" The other party took a few bites of breakfast, put it down, and then asked.
Ge Xian nodded and asked: "Who are you, why are you looking for me?"
The woman smiled sweetly and said charmingly: "Don't be so nervous. I have no ill intentions towards you. I just left something with you at the station."
"What?" Ge Xian was startled, and his consciousness suddenly swept across his body. Only then did he realize that there was something abnormal in his trouser pocket, because there was something that actually bounced off his consciousness. It must not be a simple item.
He took out the thing and found that it was a box, about the size of a U disk, and very light. The surface was made of a special material, and it seemed to have some runes engraved on it, emitting a faint light. It seemed that this layer of light could isolate the monk's soul. knowledge.
"Yes, this is it, can you return it to me?" When the woman saw the box, her eyes suddenly showed surprise.
Ge Xian did not hand it over, but held it in his palm, looked at her, and asked, "What is this?"
"Haha, you'd better not know." Seeing that he was unwilling to return the money, the woman's expression changed.
Upon seeing this, Ge Xian knew that he might have encountered a hot potato, but this guess has not yet been confirmed.
"Why are you looking for me?" Ge Xian continued to ask.
The woman held her cheek and said playfully: "Randomly select a lucky audience."
"..." Ge Xian was speechless. The other person came here randomly, but this also explained why the two of them were on different trains, but the other party still got on the same train. No wonder those people caught up with him.
"Can you give it back to me now?" The woman opened her hand towards him. The skin on her palm was very fair and soft, and even had a translucent feeling, which is rare skin.
Ge Xian thought for a moment and returned the box, then stood up and said to her, "Let's say goodbye." After that, he left the dining car.
Looking at Ge Xian's retreating back, the woman's mouth curved, and she whispered: "The person they recommended is really good. He is very cautious. He is quite suitable to be my guard, but he is a bit weak."
The woman slowly opened the box, and suddenly a white light flashed through it, came out, and landed on her palm. If you look closely, you will find that it is a small spider with a body like mutton-fat white jade, and its whole body is covered with special spiritual power. It was wrapped so that the surrounding mortals could not see it.
The white jade spider slowly expanded, from the size of a grain of rice to the size of a baby's fist. After sensing the woman's breath, it immediately crawled happily, crawled along her arms and onto his plump chest, and made a rat-like noise. Squeak.
"Well... Xiaoyu, you have been wronged. Don't worry. If I take you back this time, you will be safe. You won't come out for a hundred years. It's just that the secular world is not safe right now. Many people in the spiritual world have exceeded the rules, including Me too, I hope Brother Linghu is safe and sound." As if thinking of someone, the woman's eyes showed a feeling of longing and admiration.
Besides, after Ge Xian returned to his position, Shushu came back and reported the situation to him. He found three or four carriages with people with suspicious identities. These people were men, women, old and young, and none of them seemed to be good friends.
"It's really bad. This kind of thing can happen on a graduation trip." Ge Xian was a little unhappy. Unfortunately, he had no choice but to hope that the train would arrive as soon as possible. As for what happened next, he didn't want to get involved.
Half an hour later, there was nothing unusual in the car. The students all began to relax completely. The big players were playing cards, watching dramas, and playing games. In short, they were very happy. The same was true for the teacher. Lin Qing was even more friendly with them. Everyone went crazy together, but you couldn't tell that the young head teacher was usually very cautious, but at this time he was very lively. It seems that everyone has two sides.
Ge Xian was not in a good mood. He always felt that this journey would not be too peaceful. Since he started practicing, this intuition is actually the power to predict the future, and it has become stronger and stronger.
Xu Mengjie also felt a trace of his uneasiness and asked curiously: "Gexian, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell? You look a little distracted."
"It's okay... I just might be a little too nervous." Ge Xian replied, releasing a little pressure.
Xu Mengjie then comforted: "Then let's fight the landlords. It just so happens that there are three of us left here." There was a girl next to her who had been reading. At this time, she was invited and she happily joined.
Ge Xian couldn't refuse, so he agreed, and the three began to fight the landlord.
After a few decks of cards, Ge Xian won the majority, which made him feel a lot better. This made Xu Mengjie and the other girl a little dissatisfied, and the atmosphere turned happy.
"Hey, what kind of fragrance is this? It smells so good..." Xu Mengjie sniffed and started to look around.
The same goes for the girl next to him, and so did the people around him, but Ge Xian didn't smell it. He immediately felt something was wrong, held his breath, and signaled Xu Mengjie and others not to smell it. As a result, Xu Mengjie quickly said that she was sleepy, and it lasted almost ten seconds. Inside, he threw himself on the table and fell asleep, and then the woman next to him did the same. The people around him fell one after another like dominoes, and some people fell directly on the aisle, snoring like thunder.
Then the car began to slow down slowly, as if it was about to stop, and the window began to darken, as if it had entered a tunnel. Ge Xian was anxious and immediately stood up. Shushu transformed into a human form and followed him, but Ge Xian didn't say anything.
Along the way, there were all fallen people. Ge Xian discovered one thing in common, that is, these people were all mortals. It seemed that the strange fragrance just now was specially targeted at mortals, and the purpose was to make all mortals on the train sleep. In the past, I would not have paid attention to what happened next. It must have been a cultivator who took action, naturally it was the group of people who coveted the White Jade Spider.
He can now conclude that the woman is the descendant of the Medicine King Sect who carries the White Jade Spider. This time, the news was leaked for unknown reasons, causing a large number of cultivators to ambush her and snatch the most precious White Jade Spider.
