The director was puzzled as to why people were in such a hurry to leave right after they got back, so she explained it briefly.
After learning everything, the director quickly called back the helicopter which had not yet gone far and sent Luo Xiling all the way to NH.
When she walked out of the cabin, the other four were already standing side by side in the morning sea breeze.
"Have you thought it through?" Luo Xiling knew that they had also received the message, so she said as she walked over.
The four of them looked at each other and laughed together, "Of course."
"Then let's go!"
Holding the jade pendant tightly, a gate of light opened in the sky and a dazzling light enveloped them.
When their vision became clear again, the five people were already standing in the courtyard of Yuzhang Mountain.
Ye Ming sat on a stone bench beside the stone table in the corner of the courtyard, smiling and waving: "You came quickly."
Luo Xiling was surprised how he entered the mountain gate alone. After asking, she found out that he had just received a reminder from "Xuxianren" yesterday when he was about to board the plane with Lin Miao.
So he simply didn't go back and asked Kunpeng to send him in.
This is the VIP channel that Zhang Mu opened specially for him - a permanent light gate was set up above NH, and the five people's jade pendants and Kunpeng were consecrated.
After answering, Ye Ming asked them why they didn’t stay at home for a few more days, after all, it was the New Year.
The five people's answer was simple - they would use the three-day holiday to practice, and the stronger they became, the more secure their lives would be.
There is no "spiritual energy" on Blue Star, so if one wants to practice, they can only do so at the mountain gate, so they hurried back.
Hearing this, Ye Ming nodded with relief and did not delay them any longer: "Then go quickly."
The five of them went to the back mountain to practice sword techniques diligently, and three days passed in a flash.
During this period, only the director came in and handed Ye Ming the video recorder worn on his chest, and told him to ask Xuxianren whether the mission process could be filmed and published.
Ye Ming quickly guessed the director's intention, which was to create momentum and deter other countries, so he agreed.
Early morning on the third day.
Just as the six people gathered in the courtyard, Zhang Mu descended from the sky.
When he saw Xuxianren, Ye Ming stepped forward and told him the director's request.
Zhang Mu twisted his mouth. This guy is quite cautious.
It turned out that the director had just received the news that five people were going down the mountain for training, so he found Zhang Mu and asked hesitantly if he could reveal the mission process.
Can you tell me?
What I want is to make it known to the public, why hide it?
Zhang Mu simply asked him for a mobile phone, entered the "world" and took a bird's-eye view of the village and town for more than one minute. When returning it, he said - feel free to take it and publish it.
When the video was first released, netizens thought it was another promotional video for some fairy-tale game that scammed people into buying money.
After a while I realized that something was wrong. It seemed like it wasn't an animation but a real person?
When I took a look at the publisher, damn, it’s official!
At this moment, the number of netizens pouring into the comment section of the official website has paralyzed the server.
Seeing how lively it was, the director probably had an idea and hoped to come up with a follow-up "plot" to create an even bigger momentum, so he asked Ye Ming to bring it up.
Waking up from his memories, Zhang Mu said, "It's okay."
After saying that, he glanced at the six people and said, “Recently, we received news that a large number of young women in Jinshui Town have mysteriously disappeared.
After preliminary investigation by outer sect disciples, it was concluded that it was most likely a demon causing trouble in the world.
You are responsible for finding out the identity of the murderer. You can capture him alive or kill him on the spot. If you are unable to defeat him, report to the mountain gate. "
"As ordered!"
Luo Xiling answered with her chest puffed out, and then asked in a low voice: "Master, do you have any gossip?"
"What is gossip?"
"It's... clues about the murderer."
Xu Xianren showed a rare look of doubt: "Didn't Master just explain it very clearly?"
"Uh..." She thought that her question was too vague, "What is a demon?"
"Those who bring disaster to the human race are evildoers."
The master said something, but it seemed like he said nothing.
Luo Xiling felt that she had asked in vain.
"Don't delay any longer."
"Yes!"
Immortal Xu nodded and his figure disappeared from the spot.
At this moment, Luo Xiling remembered something and slapped her forehead: "How do we get down the mountain? We don't know the way!"
Ye Ming smiled and walked towards the courtyard gate: "I asked Senior Brother Zhou, all matters concerning the execution of missions by the disciples of the mountain gate are coordinated and dispatched by Qingfeng Hall, we can just go directly."
"Brother Ye is still reliable!" She smiled and led her fellow disciples to follow Ye Ming's footsteps.
When they arrived at Qingfeng Palace, Ye Ming explained his purpose to Brother Zhou.
Senior Brother Zhou then took out six jade slips from the counter drawer and distributed them to them. He then took out a bundle and handed it to Ye Ming: "Brother Ye has no spiritual power, so be careful."
"Thank you."
"There."
Senior Brother Zhou raised his hand and pointed to the wooden door at the back of the hall. The six of them bowed and walked over, striding through.
"Fuck, awesome!"
Outside the door is a vast open-air platform paved with stone slabs.
The platform is filled with neatly arranged wooden boats of similar shapes.
"Shh, don't make loud noises." Ye Ming reminded the three young men who were shouting, while holding up the jade slip.
The jade slip flashed white light, and a wooden boat not far ahead responded with a flash of white light.
Everyone hurried over and got on board one by one.
After sitting firmly, Luo Xiling looked around like Granny Liu entering a manor: "Brother Ye, how do you control it?"
"According to what Senior Brother Zhou told me..." Ye Ming looked around for a while, and soon found a gap in the wooden board at the bow, and pressed the jade slip into it.
"Om-"
With a low humming sound, the wooden boat was wrapped in the emerging circular light shield, slowly rose into the air, and then suddenly accelerated towards the sea of clouds.
It was all white all around.
With the protection of the light shield, although the wooden boat was speeding, Luo Xiling did not feel a single gust of wind: "How long will we fly?"
Ye Ming was flipping through a book in his hand: "The new disciple manual doesn't say, but I guess it won't take long."
"What?"
"Jinshui Town is the town closest to the mountain gate."
"Oh."
Feeling that Ye Ming's attention was all on the manual, Luo Xiling tactfully chose not to disturb him and remained silent.
There were no reference points around, so everyone just felt that they were moving forward very fast, but they had no idea how fast.
Just as they were hypnotized by the unchanging sea of clouds surrounding them and were falling asleep, Ye Ming's voice came: "We're here."
"Are we there?!" Luo Xiling woke up with a start and quickly stood up and looked around.
The wooden boat had landed steadily, about half a person's height off the ground, and was suspended in the middle of a gravel road.
To the left and right were rolling green hills and the sound of a trickling stream. Towards the stern of the boat, the dirt road stretched far into the distance until it turned around the hillside and disappeared from sight.
In front of the bow, there is a small mountain town.
The town is built next to the mountain, and the blue-tiled houses are spread out from top to bottom along the mountain slope like stairs.
There is a wooden plaque on top of the town gate at the foot of the mountain, with three words engraved on it - Jinshui Town.
Perhaps frightened by the warning that "there is a certain risk to life", Luo Xiling's reckless temper was restrained.
Seeing the mortal town she had been thinking about for a long time, she did not rush over rashly, but asked Ye Ming carefully: "Brother Ye, Master said that you are the captain of this mission, and we have to listen to you,
What to do now?
"Hmm..." Ye Ming closed the new disciple's manual and put it in his arms. "I talked to Senior Brother Zhou.
The Mountain Gate is the ruler of this world. All evildoers are afraid of the people in the Mountain Gate and will turn around and run away when they see them from afar."
"So, we have to disguise ourselves?" the girl said, blinking.
"I'm ready." Ye Ming looked at her with approval and took out six sets of civilian-style ancient costumes from his backpack.
Everyone picked a set, dispersed to the bushes, changed, and then gathered again.
Ye Ming took a quick look around and except for the hairstyle which might be different from the locals, everything else was similar.
It’s not a big problem. We can deal with it when we get into town.
I made a decision in my heart: "Let's go."
As he spoke, he took out the jade slip and the wooden boat rose into the air, turned, and disappeared into the sky.
The six people turned around, two in front and four in the back, and walked into Jinshui Town.
It was gradually getting dark, which was a good time for the townspeople to go out for a walk after dinner.
However, the streets of the town were eerily quiet and deserted, the doors of the shops on both sides were closed, and the breeze blew, the fallen leaves swirled, and the red lanterns hanging high on both sides of the shop doors swayed.
If it weren't for the few rays of light leaking through the cracks in the shop doors, they would have thought that Jinshui Town had been abandoned.
"Brother Ye, why do I feel... quite creepy."
"Xuxian said that a large number of young women have disappeared in this town. Would you not be afraid if it were you?"
"Too."
