176. The white horse in the snow field

Zhang Wangxiong was shocked when he suddenly received the news from his subordinates. The "cleaner" surnamed Jiang was sent by him, but Zhang Wangxiong did not expect that Zhu Shanxian and others would appear so early.

The relationship between Zhang Wangxiong and Tian Zhongluo is both cooperative and mutual use. Of course, it is impossible to communicate with each other with heart. However, Zhang Wangxiong has to admire Tian Zhongluo's skillful vision in many things and almost hit the mark. This time, Tian Zhongluo said most of the things right, but he just judged the time wrongly.

Zhu Shanxian and others did get clues from the Gu family's place of Jinshanyuan and also found the Tiexue Cliff, but Tian Zhongluo thought they would come during the Spring Festival holiday, but they did appear before the New Year, which was the last weekend before the Spring Festival.

Tian Zhongluo has a place called "Qiyan Realm", which is a magical world that people don't know about. He can enjoy a country with mountains and rivers in the world, just like the mythical and legendary cave world, which is said to have been inherited from his elders. Zhang Wangxiong also learned that there are other external worlds in the world and people as lucky as Tian Zhongluo. He was very envious and wanted to find and get his own external world.

He found the clues from Kingsoft Courtyard, and he also found the two magic weapons through Fan Yang. Fan Yang might have come back afterwards, but he was not sure about Zhang Wangxiong's real purpose at that time. Zhang Wangxiong found the Iron Lock Cliff, and through the two magic weapons, it seemed that he could sense the existence of another world, but he could not enter.

Thinking about it, this is normal. I remember that Zhu Shanxian opened his backyard door at the gate of Xiaojing Lake, but he never found and entered Xiaojing Lake. Every time he opened the door, he walked to Nanqishan Forest Park.

Zhang Wangxiong's Juemen Qi-seeking technique may not be as good as Zhu Shanxian at the time. Besides, he did not get the treasure of the world control. Although he found the place Tiexu Cliff, he did not have the guidance of "Fangwai Tu Zhi" in his hand, so it is difficult to determine the exact location of the portal. It is normal that he cannot see it, let alone enter.

After Fan Yang disappeared, Zhang Wangxiong finally took out the two antiques to find Tian Zhongluo to "palm". This was a last resort. In Zhang Wangxiong's view, Tian Zhongluo's ability is greater than his, his methods are better than him, and he already has a prescription outside world. There should be a way to open the Jinshanyuan. If you keep the secret alone but cannot untie it, it would be better to ask another expert to help share it together.

Tian Zhongluo took the two magic weapons to the Iron Lock Cliff. He told Zhang Wangxiong with certainty that he could sense another world that seemed to not exist. The cliff like two giant doors was the gateway to it, and this world should be the legendary Jinshan Courtyard. But it was unreasonable to say that, Tian Zhongluo could not open the Jinshan Courtyard.

Zhang Wangxiong actually regretted it very much. He shared his secret but failed to achieve his goal. He would not have gone to Tian Zhongluo for help if he had known it. Later, Zhang Wangxiong suffered a loss in Zhu Shanxian's hands. Not only did he be beaten up, but the threshold was also demolished, and he also lost a stronghold and a group of very capable subordinates.

Zhu Shanxian did not control Sharon Zheng's group, but instead sent them to prison through Lao Gu, which made Zhang Wangxiong a little panicked. He was worried that Zhu Shanxian would also seize some of his own handles, and at the same time, he was worried that Zhu Shanxian had found clues from Jinshanyuan. Since several competitions were at a disadvantage, Zhang Wangxiong thought that he was not Zhu Shanxian's opponent. He might suffer a loss by force, so he wanted to use Tian Zhongluo's power to deal with Zhu Shanxian.

His little thoughts made Tian Zhongluo see through in person. Tian Zhongluo also told him not to alert the enemy, and wait for Zhu Shanxian and others to open the Jinshan Courtyard before talking. Zhang Wangxiong was selfish again. If he could get the way to open the Jinshan Courtyard from Zhu Shanxian, he would not want to share it with Tian Zhongluo again.

The cleaner was sent by him, and his mission was to keep an eye on the iron cliff and report any discoveries in time. It was really hard to work for Zhang Wangxiong. Even the little Jiang Nian who pretended to be a cleaner could not survive, and he had to stay in this wilderness in the cold weather. Zhang Wangxiong did not think that Zhu Shanxian and others would go before the New Year, and sent someone to keep an eye on it just in case. Anyway, he was not the one who worked hard.

Zhang Wangxiong has an official identity and of course he has a serious job. He can't leave just by saying anything. The busiest time was the busiest time before the New Year. After receiving news from Xiao Jiang, he felt a little caught off guard. He had to work overtime on Saturday and would definitely not be able to leave Xiaojin City during the day. Even if he tried his best to take time to rush to Fangshan District outside Beijing, he would have to be noon tomorrow at the earliest.

Zhang Wangxiong was able to use official resources to monitor Zhu Shanxian and others, but the actual situation was not as exaggerated as imagined. On the one hand, because of his lack of authority, and on the other hand, this was just a private job after all.

Within the province, he can monitor the mobile phone location, call and text messages of Zhu Shanxian and others. If necessary, he can also monitor the registration information of ticket purchases or accommodation with his ID card, including the situation where designated vehicles pass through the national highway checkpoint and the highway information collection point. But that's all, and if you want to monitor this information, you have to apply for it.

Zhu Shanxian and others suddenly appeared under the iron cliff. Zhang Wangxiong did not monitor it in advance, which shows one thing. The other party had been guarding against him for a long time, and also used anti-reconnaissance and anti-tracking methods. What should we do? Zhang Wangxiong thought for a long time, but decided not to notify Tian Zhongluo for the time being and let Xiao Jiang continue to stare.

He told Xiao Jiang that he could just keep an eye on the whereabouts of Zhu Shanxian and others from afar, and not get too close to them, and report any abnormal situations at any time. What Zhang Wangxiong wanted to confirm is - can Zhu Shanxian open the Jinshan Courtyard? Let's talk about everything when it is opened!

Xiao Jiang received the boss' instructions and did not approach the Iron Lock Cliff. He found a place to watch from a distance, and quietly took out a monocular telescope. The high cliff was unobstructed. If Zhu Shanxian and others were playing rock climbing, he could see it from a distance.

Zhu Shanxian and the other three stood under the cliff and unloaded their equipment. They looked up at the high cliff as if they were looking for a path to climb. Shang Ni muttered with dissatisfaction: "That person wearing a red hoop is so hateful. We are here to climb a rock. He even wants to blackmail him. Looking back, he must complain! So is Senior Brother Tan, why did he give so much money at once? Isn't this a bad person's appetite contributing to the bad guys?"

Zhu Shanxian laughed quietly and said, "You really have no place to complain! There is no one in the middle of winter, and the security guards from the Security League came here to patrol. Don't you find it strange?"

Tan Hanchuan also smiled and said, "So you didn't recognize it? I just praised you in my heart. I performed so well today, and there was no flaw at all!"

Shang Ni suddenly reacted and opened her mouth wide and said, "Ah, that person turned out to be..."

Zhu Shanxian made a gesture: "Just know."

Shangni lowered her voice and said, "That cleaner..."

Tan Hanchuan also lowered his voice and said, "What do you think?"

"Hey, aren't you going to climb rocks? What are you thinking about here?" While they were muttering in a low voice, the United Security Defenseman came over shouting loudly again.

Tan Hanchuan turned around and explained: "We are looking for a suitable path."

Joint Defense Officer: "Find a path? Do you want to climb up with a rope on your back? That won't work!"

Zhu Shanxian: "Why can't it work?"

Joint Defense Officer: "Not to mention who is responsible for the fall and death, have you agreed not to hit rock wedges? How can you not hit rock wedges when climbing from bottom to top? You should send someone to the top of the cliff first and fall down the safety rope... Walk down there, there is a road that can go up the mountain. If you have no experience at all, you dare to run here to do whatever you want!"

Shang Ni smiled and bowed, "Thank you for your reminder! I really didn't expect that someone could wear military coats so handsomely!"

Zhuang Mengzhou, who pretended to be a joint defenseman, nodded at Shang Ni with satisfaction and said, "You have vision! I have to go back and wash my face and rest. You must pay attention to safety and not destroy the rock body. You must take away all the things you bring in later. Clean up the garbage, and there is a cleaner staring at it."

After saying that, Zhuang Mengzhou left the river beach under the cliff and didn't know where to rest. Zhu Shanxian and Shangni stayed there, and Tan Hanchuan took a rope around the road to the top of the cliff, and after fixing it, he fell down the rope.

The climbing safety rope was hung on the waist of the climber, and passed through the pulley set fixed to the top of the cliff and fell down. A person stood at the bottom of the cliff and pulled it at any time. Shang Ni put on wrist guards, knee pads and climbing gloves, hung the rope, and climbed to the top of the cliff first, then Tan Hanchuan slid down, and then Zhu Shanxian climbed up.

The three of them had a good time. Each of them climbed up the cliff top twice, which was more than 120 meters high. The tanker set on the cliff top could be adjusted. Even if Shang Ni's weight was far less than Zhu Shanxian and Tan Hanchuan, she could hold the safety rope while standing on the ground. In fact, she didn't need to pull it, she just wanted to do it.

It seemed that they were really here to play rock climbing, but this was a pain for Xiao Jiang, a cleaner who was surveillance in the distance, blew the cold wind on the river beach all day, and his face was frozen.

At around four o'clock in the afternoon, Zhu Shanxian and others put away their equipment and left. They went to Zhangfang Town nearby, first found a hotel to check in, and then found a restaurant to have dinner in the town. Xiao Jiang had already changed out of the cleaner's outfit and kept staring at them secretly, waiting until they finished their meal and returned to the hotel to rest.

It was completely dark at this time. Xian Hao and Ding Qi came to the Iron Lock Cliff. Both of them were wearing dark clothes, like shadows sneaking in the night. Xian Hao said: "I have searched the surrounding area secretly, and there are no suspicious people. Senior Brother Zhu and the others also confirmed that there was only one person staring here. Now the man has been led to Zhangfang Town."

Ding Qi frowned and said, "Sure enough, someone is staring here. It seems that Zhang Wangxiong is also looking for the beast country. And if he finds a place, we have to be careful."

Xian Hao: "Senior Brother Tan has arrived. He is staring at it. Mr. Zhuang is paying attention to the movement under the cliff in the community across the river. Let's try whether we can go in first."

With the skills of the two, they actually didn't use ropes, but for safety reasons, they still hung a rope down. The place where the rope was hanging was very hidden, not on the top of the cliff, but on the side of the rock gap, it was difficult to find even near it. There was a dark gap in the iron cliff that ran through the entire rock mass, which was formed by the erosion of water since ancient times. When it rained, the water flow on the mountain would flow along the rock gap into the Juma River.

The reason why this rock gap is very dark is because there are a lot of moss growing on the surface of the rock. From a distance, it looks like the crack between two huge door panels. The "Fangwai Tu Zhi" marks the portal location of the beast country, which is about 60 meters above the ground according to the proportion.

Ding Qi and Xian Hao climbed down the rock crack and arrived at a position about 60 meters high. The mountain in the rock crack was sunk inward, forming a small natural platform where you can settle down. Ding Qi took out the beast talisman and said, "It should be here!"

Xian Hao: "How to open the door?"

Ding Qi: "I sensed the portal, but it seems that I still have something to lose."

Xian Hao: "According to legend, twelve brothers work together, we seem to be not enough people."

Ding Qi: "The legend may not be completely accurate. There is another saying that it will be on the full moon night."

Xian Hao: "Today is the 21st day of the twelfth lunar month. The day is wrong. Do you have to wait for the fifteenth day of the first lunar month?"

Ding Qi: "Let's wait first, wait for the moonlight to shine in."

Today is sunny, and there is a crescent moon in the sky. The two of them waited here for more than half an hour. As the moon shadow shifted, a thread of moonlight finally passed through the rock cracks on the cliff and shone on their foot. Ding Qi suddenly said, "I have it!"

He held up the beast talisman under the moonlight and pressed it on the cliff. The beast talisman turned into a pair of door knockers, as if he could open the cliff with just pulling the pair of door knockers. Xian Hao asked again: "How did you bring Xiao Meng and the others into Qingaotai last time?"

Ding Qi explained: "Actually, I hypnotized them and showed the scenes I saw in their subconscious mind."

Xian Hao: "Then you should do this to me, too."

Ding Qi: "Then you have to trust me completely."

Xian Hao under the moonlight smiled: "I have never distrust you, and you have to trust me completely."

Ding Qi sighed: "I don't trust you!"

In the world under the night, white snow is flying, and a crescent moon shines on the snow field, and the clear light is set against the silver-covered surface. A white horse walking on the snow field, his eyes are a little confused. It seems that it doesn't know who it is and why it appears in this place? But it has come here for no reason, and it is a horse.

This horse is extremely majestic and beautiful, pure white and without any trace of variegated color. There is also a silver horn on its forehead, and its slightly raised curve is like half a moon bud. On the vast snow field, the white horse is not walking fast. It seems to be looking for something, but it does not know what it is looking for.

The snowflakes fell on the body, and the white horse shook its long mane. It was not afraid of the cold, but it was not very comfortable, so it stepped and trotted again. Not far from the white horse, an egret danced on the snowfield, combing its feathers with its long beak, and then spread its wings and flying in the night, as if it was also looking for something.

The snow fields under the moonlight, whether the white horses and egrets, seemed to have disappeared, so they did not find each other. The white horse with one horns ran for a long time, but the sky gradually became brighter and the snow stopped. It stopped by a river.

The season should be winter, but the snow in this field is very strange. With this river as the boundary, there is no snow on the other side. From a distance, you can see withered grasslands, rolling hills, and the fallen trees with a little evergreen color. There is some broken ice in the shallow bay of the river, but the river surface is not completely frozen, and the sound of the flowing water is gurgling.

The white horse saw its shadow by a quiet bay, and tilted its head and looked left and right, as if it was a little puzzled. It might not understand why the one horn grew on its head, or why it was like this? At this moment, it seemed to have some sense and looked up at the river.

There was an egret standing in the water, with its long legs half exposed, as if catching fish, or patrolling around. The egret was snow-white all over, with bright red beak, and beautiful crowned feathers and chest feathers. One person was tall and bigger than a crane. The horse should have no zoological knowledge, but when the white horse saw the other party, it inexplicably recognized that it was an egret.

There seemed to be some kind of spiritual connection between the white horse and the egret. When the white horse saw the egret, the egret also felt it. He turned his head and looked over and made a chirp. The chirp fell into the white horse's ears, but it seemed to turn into another person's voice in his mind: "Who are you?"
