The guys who set up tents in the mountains don't seem to want to leave any time soon, but staying there all the time is not a good idea.
It would be bad if someone really fell down the slope after a long time.
After thinking for a while, Zhang Mu mobilized his mental strength and amplified his voice: "Everyone, everything is fine, disperse."
The sound echoed in the mountains for a long time.
Zhang Mu took out his cell phone and took a look. It was past seven o'clock, so he had to go back. Otherwise, if Leah woke up and didn't see him, she would make a fuss.
He shook his head, no longer paying attention to the people in the suddenly quiet camp, and turned back home.
……
Suzhou City Hall.
The building that was originally used as an office for the leadership team of the city of Su had now been requisitioned by the Bureau of Special Investigations, which had far greater power.
In order to save money, the director did not make any major changes to the structure of the building. He simply added some tables and chairs, as well as special detection equipment.
In the top-floor conference room, Zhao Qi sat at the first seat on the right side of the conference table, with an open notebook lying on the desk in front of his chest.
He looked at the director and kept talking.
Finally he finished speaking, swallowing his saliva to lubricate his dry throat: "Director, this is what happened."
Yue Ruo beside him added: "All the citizens have returned home."
The director nodded and asked a question that confused the two: "How much did the fairy bottle sell for?"
"This, the news reported didn't mention it?" Zhao Qi lowered his head and glanced at his notebook. "I'll call and ask."
After saying that, he took out his cell phone and opened the door to the corridor.
"Director, do you want to take the immortal bottle up?" Yue Ruo understood the meaning of his words and asked tentatively.
"It depends on the situation. I'm afraid the person who holds the Immortal Bottle is unwilling to sell it. Well... I'm mainly worried that Immortal Xu will be unhappy. After all, it was given away by him personally.
Who knows what the Asahitoshi is thinking? "
There was no boasting in what he said.
Although the person who can defeat many powerful competitors and take the Immortal Bottle must be an elite with certain financial resources and background.
But the director holds power and the state apparatus in his hands, which no individual can rival, let alone resist.
Yue Ruo opened her mouth to say something but was interrupted by Zhao Qi who pushed the door open.
"Director, the woman whose child was cured by Asahi Immortal did not sell the Immortal Bottle."
"Not sold?" Director Yue Ruo confirmed in surprise.
"Well, she has returned home with the fairy bottle and the child. I am afraid that someone might have bad intentions, so I sent people to protect them along the way."
"It's really rare." The director patted the table with emotion, "What's the highest price?"
"Ten million, in cash."
Ten million doesn't sound like a lot, and it's not even enough to pay for a 100-square-meter apartment in a first-tier city.
But this is cash and you have to take it out on the spot.
They were able to come up with 10 million in cash in a short period of time. In addition, most of the people in the mountains were locals from Su City, and there were no world-renowned corporate consortiums competing for them.
Even the country's big companies didn't come, so the price is already terrifying.
"Since she kept it for herself, we shouldn't move. If you really want it, you can discuss it with Asahi-sensei."
Zhao Qi raised his hands to show his agreement, and then continued: "Also, the girl who talked to Xuxianren for a few words has been found.
She is an outdoor anchor, not the kind who just finds a small slope and talks about the outdoors.
That girl often climbs mountains and goes into primeval forests. I checked her old videos and found that she was the only one on camera, but there should be a team behind the camera. "
"But it's also impressive." Zhao Qi sat on the wooden chair he had just sat on, "At least I climbed the cliff by myself."
"In addition, Xu Xianren told her that Liu Yuxi had seen her."
"Liu Yuxi?" Yue Ruo was a little surprised. "Isn't he from the Tang Dynasty?"
"Yes."
"You mean, Xuxianren has lived for at least a thousand years?"
"I'm not too surprised." Zhao Qi shook his head. "Xu Xianren's mountain gate has witnessed many changes in the world. Its actual age must be more than a thousand years."
"The height of a mountain is not a matter of height..." The director did not pay attention to what they were talking about, his eyes were thoughtful, "At that time, I wondered why the immortal Xu kept saying this.
I thought he had come across ancient poetry and songs and liked this poem, but now it seems that poetry came before immortals?"
"Commissioner, this is not a poem, it's an inscription."
"Same." The director waved his hand indifferently, "If we infer from this point, the author of ancient Chinese poems about immortals,
Are you all like Liu Yuxi, who was lucky enough to meet an immortal cultivator?"
Hearing this speculation, Yue Ruo crossed her fingers and entangled them even tighter: "If this is true, then what about other seemingly fantastical things?
For example, Shan Hai Jing?"
Their comments inspired Zhao Qi: "You want to say that those poems that modern people think are exaggerated by ancient people,
In fact, it is not an exaggeration, but a true story?
Like the great roc that soars up into the sky with the wind, reaching 90,000 miles?"
He leaned back in his chair and said, "If there really is a Kunpeng flying above the clouds, it would definitely not be visible from the ground, unless..."
"Unless Li Bai stands on Kunpeng's back and watches himself fly from the ground to the clouds in the sky!"
"That's a bit ridiculous." The director interrupted them, "If Kunpeng is real, then there are dragons and phoenixes, right?
Satellites monitor the entire planet 24/7. If there is really something that big flying in the sky, how can we not see it?"
Yue Ruo was not convinced: "Then the Xuxian people's mountain gate can't be found by satellites, right?"
"It's really strange." The director scratched his head, "Next time I meet with Xuxianren, I must ask him about it."
Zhao Qi on the side folded his arms, lowered his head and muttered to himself: "I really hope that Kunpeng really exists.
When I get to know Xu Xianren better, I’ll ask him to let me ride him once. Damn, riding Kunpeng straight to the sky beyond the clouds is exciting just thinking about it.”
“I really let you go into space without wearing any protective equipment, even above the clouds, at an altitude of ten thousand meters, you would faint due to lack of oxygen.” Yue Ruo rolled her eyes.
"How could it be!" Zhao Qi slammed the table excitedly, "Then how come Li Bai was fine after going up there? Did he bring an oxygen tank with him?"
"It's just a hypothesis. There is no evidence to prove that Li Bai actually went to heaven."
"Okay, okay, why are you still arguing?" The director stopped the two of them and asked, "How is Ye Ming doing?"
"He is busy setting up a new group with his girlfriend."
"Tsk." The director smacked his lips. "The young man is quite capable. If all his subordinates were like him, why would I have to worry so much?"
"Director? What do you mean?" Zhao Qi and Yue Ruo were unhappy. "I have shed blood for the Special Investigation Bureau!"
"Yes, yes, my wallet is bleeding every day at the snack street in the amusement park, get out of here."
The two were kicked out of the meeting room and ran to the office downstairs together, where they found Ye Ming who was busy recruiting people.
Everyone told their previous guesses one by one. Ye Ming smiled and said he was busy and they would talk later.
They were busy until eight or nine o'clock. Ye Ming stood up, stretched, and left with Lin Miao.
Walking in the bright corridor, Ye Ming recalled and thought for a while, then took out his cell phone and dialed Zhang Mu's number.
"Zhang Mu, have you found a job?"
……
"Not yet, what's wrong?" Zhang Mu stood in front of the summoned portal with the phone to his ear.
"Go to work for you? No, I plan to take a break for a while.
Well, don't worry, you don't know me yet, are you worried that I won't be able to find a job?"
Seeing that he had no intention of changing his mind, Ye Ming on the other end of the phone did not continue to force him, but he could not help but nagging him:
"Really, stop playing those ACG and catgirl games every day. You are not a child anymore. Find a good job and find a good girl, and live a good life."
Zhang Mu raised his lips and said, "I don't play with action figures anymore."
Ye Ming, who couldn't see his weird expression, said happily when he really quit the ACG world: "It's a good relationship,
Then take a break, and when you want to find a job, feel free to call me."
"Oh, right." As he was about to hang up, Ye Ming suddenly recalled the speculation Zhao Qi had discussed with him, "Where did Li Bai get the inspiration to write about Li Yong?"
Could it be that Li Bai has really seen something soaring into the sky?"
Zhang Mu was stunned for a moment, then realized that his senior brother was referring to the poem - One day the great roc rises with the wind, soaring up to ninety thousand miles.
"Maybe Li Bai has ridden in a UFO before." He said jokingly, "Let me just say this first. I'm going to take a shower."
He pressed the hang-up button, put the phone in his pocket, and stood in front of the portal with his arms folded, thinking.
Kunpeng flies to the sky... quite interesting, I need to spend some time to think about it.
Putting this matter aside for the moment, Zhang Mu stepped into the rotating portal.
Chapter 104 How to Treat Enemies
Walking out of the portal, Zhang Mu stood in the middle of the hut and looked around.
As expected, Domit still didn't see anyone, and Leah was also asleep, so he gave up the illusion of sitting on the wooden chair against the wall and walked slowly to the bed.
"Mr. Zhang Mu?" As if she heard his footsteps, Leia, who was covered with a thin blanket, twitched her cat ears a few times and slowly opened her eyes.
"No more sleep?"
“Leah has had enough sleep.” She threw back the covers, rubbed her eyes and got out of bed, “Well, it’s already dark?
Leah slept all day?"
Zhang Mu smiled, took her hand, pushed open the door, sat on the stone bench in the yard, and looked up at the bright moon in the night sky together.
“Liya, I can’t stay in one place. In the future, I will travel around, do dangerous things, and live an unstable life.
