Chapter 16 Departure and Xiao Chengqian's Call
Before we set off, Jiang Yi indeed sent two accompanying people, named Tao Bai and Lu Shan.
The name is very ordinary, the person is also very ordinary, the appearance has no characteristics, the kind that you would not find in a crowd, and both of them are very silent, and they feel that their words and actions are rigid and mechanical.
No one would have thought that these two people's identities were so special, or maybe that's what makes them even more confusing.
We have no room to object to such an arrangement, but that doesn't mean we don't have any countermeasures. For the first step of the lake trip, we deliberately picked some insignificant lakes in order to confuse Jiang Yi.
However, that famous pool is also among the Thirteen Lakes left by the master.
We took a plane to the north, and after two more trips through transportation, we finally arrived at the foot of that famous mountain.
After resting for a night without talking, we started climbing the famous mountain the next day. Since it has been developed into a tourist attraction, the way up the mountain is very easy and we can go directly to the pool.
It is said to be easy, but for us men, it is not very easy, because we are carrying heavy luggage, including two complete sets of diving equipment. Fortunately, we rented two sets of oxygen bottles.
The horses helped us carry the load, otherwise no matter how strong our physical strength was, we would still be lying on the mountainside tiredly.
Compared with the fatigue of the men, the three girls were relaxed. They were carrying luggage with almost negligible weight. They looked at the magnificent scenery and talked and laughed along the way. Not to mention how comfortable it was.
We started in the morning and reached halfway up the mountain. It was already noon, so we simply found a place to prepare for a lunch and a short rest.
Since the action was scheduled for the evening, we were not in a hurry at all. It was just that the content of the lunch was boring. It was all convenience food. This made me miss the game cooked by Lao Zhang in the old forest.
.
"Chengyi, I heard that there are many magical rumors coming out of this pond. I hope we can gain something this time." During meal time, Brother Chengxin couldn't stop talking, and he talked to me while eating.
The chat started.
In that era, although the Internet had already appeared, it was not an era of information explosion like today, so some rumors were only circulated locally. Occasionally, some newspapers and magazines would publish some speculative articles, even if they were spread through
Already.
Since I was going to come here, the thoughtful Brother Chengxin collected a lot of information about this place. The more I looked at it, the more amazing it became, because judging from a lot of information, many people said that they had witnessed the so-called "water monster" in the pool.
.
However, because it is a folk rumor, this cannot be used as evidence. However, Brother Chengxin, who has read too much information, has become quite obsessed and wants to solve the mystery of the water monster immediately, so he brings it up from time to time.
Faced with Brother Chengxin's enthusiasm, Ruyue was speechless. She said to Brother Chengxin: "You want to see the water monster so much? Then do you want me to summon the ones in the village to show you?"
There is a guardian dragon in Yueyan Miao Village. This is not a secret to us. Tao Bai and Lu Shan, as members of the department, and Jiang Yi's cronies probably also know this information, so Ru Yue has no scruples about telling it.
Brother Chengxin ignored Ruyue's grab for the opportunity, gave you a boring look, and started to eat his bread again. The atmosphere was silent for a while, but unexpectedly at this moment, Lu Shan, who had always been taciturn, spoke up: "
Chen Chengyi, you have to remember
, the operation must be carried out after 11 o'clock in the evening. The pool is in a special situation. It belongs to the border between two countries, and about half of it belongs to other countries. Although the operation has the support of the department, we still don't want to be caught with any excuses.
."
We feel constrained by their presence, but we must pay attention to their words.
Therefore, I had no doubts about what Lu Shan said and nodded simply. I must admit that with the help of the department, everything went smoothly. Even the diving equipment was prepared for us at the foot of the mountain.
How can an individual dare to imagine a forest farm except that the department has this ability?
Not to mention, you can dive to investigate this kind of thing! Without the support behind the department, it is simply impossible to do it.
However, I also thought of a possibility. There are so many rumors about this pool. The department may have sent people to investigate it long ago. Then what else can we gain?
Thinking of this, I raised my head and asked Lu Shan: "Have you ever explored this pond? Have you gained anything?"
My question is very direct. When facing such a silent person, the best way is to be direct, lest he use silence to directly ignore your formulaic questions, which will be ineffective.
I didn't expect Lu Shan to answer me, but I didn't expect him to simply say directly: "I have explored it several times, but the result was nothing. Minister Jiang said, maybe you will find something when you come this time."
Harvested.”
We will gain something when we come here? What kind of weird logic is this? I don’t understand what Jiang Yi means, but I can’t help but feel disappointed. From Lu Shan’s answer, I feel that this action is not likely to yield a great harvest.
.
But I didn't expect that at this moment, my phone rang. This phone was not my personal phone, but a special phone assigned to us by Jiang Yi so that the contact would not be interrupted. I really can't think of anyone who would call me at this time.
of this phone.
This sudden call not only made me confused, but also made everyone confused. It was useless to speculate. I simply answered the phone.
I just said 'hello', but a familiar voice came from the other end of the phone. As for the content of the conversation, it was so straight to the point.
"Chengyi, in Changbai Mountain?"
It's Xiao Chengqian!
I was stunned at the time. In fact, Brother Chengxin and I had already learned the news about Xiao Chengqian and the others when we went down the mountain. But we were too sad at the time, so we didn’t pay too much attention when we heard that Xiao Chengqian was fine.
Naturally, I also learned the news from Jiang Yi, but now that I think about it, I find it extremely strange.
After all, the last time we saw those two groups, they were fighting against the four demon spirits. Then, I entered the Dragon Tomb. Who knew that after we entered the Dragon Tomb, the quaint long wall and gate
Just disappeared.
Then, a gray mist surged outside and surrounded everyone. Then, everyone fell into a deep sleep inexplicably, including the four demon souls. They didn't wake up until we called.
.
I don't know how long they slept, but when they woke up, they were all lying deep in the old forest, and they were no longer in the picturesque valley.
This is the whole experience of Xiao Chengqian and the others. I am afraid no one can believe it. Even I think it is too magical. I fainted inexplicably and appeared deep in the old forest inexplicably. Who did all this?
And the reason why I want to say who did this kind of thing is because there is also an uncertain news circulating internally that in the gray fog, someone vaguely saw a figure, which was a human figure, plus a vague figure.
The shadow of the beast is very strange, and it is impossible to tell what kind of beast it is.
Jiang Yi has so many informants. For him, this information can be obtained without too much effort, and then it reaches the ears of my brother Chengxin.
Now that I heard Xiao Chengqian's voice, I remembered this incident, and found it extremely incredible. But what was even more incredible was what Xiao Chengqian said to me. How did he know that I was in Changbai Mountain, and even get through the special thing that I had just gotten?
Telephone?
There were too many questions, so I had no way of asking them. When they came to my lips, they turned into one sentence: "How are you, kid?"
"You finally asked me if I was okay. After that time, your phone was turned off and I lost contact with you for more than a year. Do you still remember me as a friend?" Xiao Chengqian's tone was a little sour.
Facing Xiao Chengqian, I didn't want to hide it. After all, he was my friend. I said directly: "After I came down from the mountain, I got the news that you were safe and sound. You know, I am as lost as snow."
News in the circle always circulates through special channels. It is not a secret that the Gu girl from Yueyan Miao Village disappeared in Long Tomb, and my relationship with Ruxue is even less secret.
"I know! That's why I don't blame you. Because I don't blame you, I made this call." Xiao Chengqian's voice was calm, but I always felt that under this calmness, his mood was not so calm.
