Something happened. This is not going to be bloody.
Chapter 96: Wuchang Office - Back to Blue City
Everything seemed as if nothing had happened.
Zhou Leng broke free from his restraints, and Dahei appeared and separated everyone with smoke.
It seemed like only a minute had passed before the smoke was dispersed by Zhou Leng. She quickly came to the eight people who were tied up and threw away the ropes with a single spell.
Zhou Leng shouted, "Wang Jian, take everyone away quickly and push that bookcase."
Before they could react, everyone used their weapons to fight against the numerous branches that suddenly attacked them. The tangled branches blocked their vision, and they could only resist passively and quickly reached the bookcase.
After Wang Jian heard Zhou Leng's words, he pushed the bookcase with his hand. The bookcase turned, and everyone disappeared from the spot and appeared at the hole next to the mural.
The moment everyone disappeared, the attacking branches also disappeared.
Zhou Leng looked at Lin Xian and said:
"I'm leaving too. You have to destroy the teleportation array at the entrance of the cave, otherwise someone will come to investigate later. We'll meet in Lan City. Dahei knows where we live."
Lin Xian nodded, and Zhu Qing and Qiu Luo behind him saluted.
Tao Li, Mu Shen and the three demons Dahei have already gone to the demon realm to command everyone to work hard to uproot themselves and shrink their bodies.
After watching Zhou Leng push the bookcase away, Zhu Qing asked seriously:
"Linxian, do you think she will really help us?"
Lin Xian replied:
"Yes, they really like Fellow Daoist Fang Xin. I never told them to do so, which shows that she has no evil thoughts in her heart. And somehow I am sure that she is reliable, just like when Tao Li transplanted me into the Taoist temple. I know in my heart that this is the better choice."
Qiu Luo said softly:
"We don't have many choices. Just like we trusted Xunxian in the past, let's trust this man for once. Otherwise, we can still be free and easy, but what about our fellow tribesmen? When I entered the world decades ago, humans already had powerful artillery. Now their weapons are probably even more powerful, but we are becoming increasingly weak."
Thinking of their fellow creatures and the current situation of the demon race, the three of them fell silent.
Once upon a time, the demon king appeared in the world, and humans were still mortals in their words. They just didn't like fighting, but they had to watch the evil demons wreak havoc on the world. But now they are as anxious as a stray dog, barely surviving in the world.
Fang Zengqing was pulled by Wang Jian to the cave entrance. She looked around carefully and did not see Zhou Leng coming out. She shouted excitedly:
"My aunt hasn't come out yet. My aunt hasn't come out yet. I want to go find my aunt." After she said that, she struggled to break free from Wang Jian's hand and ran towards the still open hole.
Wang Jian reached out and grabbed her arm and said, "Wait a minute, Fang Xin is very powerful, she will come out soon. If you go there, won't you just cause trouble?"
Fang Zengqing hit Wang Jian's hand hard and shouted, "Let me go. I want to go find my aunt. Dahei will help me. Let me go."
At this moment, Zhou Leng suddenly appeared at the entrance of the cave, and the mural rumbled back to its original position. The sacred tree on the mural disappeared in an instant, leaving only potholes and depressions.
Fang Zengqing rushed over and hugged Zhou Leng's thighs and couldn't help crying out loud.
Zhou Leng picked up the child, then looked at Wang Jian and said, "Let's leave this cave first."
The group returned to the camp where they had set up their tents, and everyone gathered in Wang Jian's tent.
Zhang Feng said seriously:
"It seems that this is a cave where hermits gather. They don't want to be discovered, so they set up a magic array. The magic array can actually accelerate the transformation of souls into evil spirits. However, we came here to investigate without any ill intentions. That person suddenly attacked us and killed us. If it weren't for Fellow Daoist Fang Xin's profound magic skills, I'm afraid we would have died here."
Zhou Leng was polite and modest.
After thinking for a while, Wang Jian said, "I always feel that those people are a little weird, and Tao Li actually knows them. What do you think?" He did not continue but paused.
Zhou Leng continued:
"I also think they are a hermit sect. Tao Li should be a practitioner. She must have known the destination this time, so she followed us. Her purpose is to disrupt our plan. I don't know how many hermits there are in the country. I also encountered such a thing when I went to Kunlun Mountain to practice. Unfortunately, I was driven out in the end."
Wang Jian glanced at her and stopped talking. What he wanted to say was: Do you think they could be demons? Those murals are real. However, he thought this idea was a bit crazy. After Zhou Leng took over the topic, he stopped talking.
Everyone continued to discuss.
Fang Zengqing sat next to Zhou Leng, playing with a doll in her arms, and didn't say anything. It wasn't until the two of them returned to their tent that she asked, "Aunt, how is Dahei?"
Zhou Leng stroked her hair and said, "He's fine. He even said he'll come visit us after we return to Lan City."
Fang Zengqing smiled and showed her small white teeth and said, "Dahei is my friend. He will definitely help me and my aunt."
The next day, everyone planned to return. After all, the mural had been destroyed and they could not defeat the enemy. All they could do was continue to report the situation to their superiors.
Speechless all the way.
After Wang Jian sent Zhou Leng and the other man home, he said, "Thank you very much for this time. If you need help in the future, please contact me."
Zhou Leng nodded, raised his hand and said, "See you next time."
Everything seems to be the same as before, yet everything seems to be completely different.
Zhou Leng began to look for some poor counties near Lan City. After all, he couldn't leave Lan City yet, so he still had to do the job of ferryman.
A week later, Tao Li and Lin Xian, who had transformed into their own appearances, knocked on Zhou Leng's door.
After opening the door, Zhou Leng looked at the two unfamiliar pretty faces and said uncertainly: "Tao Li? Lin Xian?"
"Haha, you're quite smart!" Tao Li smiled inexplicably brightly.
"Please come in."
After both parties sat down, Tao Li spoke first:
"I brought all the money that everyone has saved over the past hundred years. We have always kept it in the National Bank and have changed accounts twice. There is a total of about 15 million. Where do you think we should settle down?"
Lin Xian didn't say anything, he just kept staring at Zhou Leng's expression and eyes.
Zhou Leng stood up and fetched a map of the city and some A4 papers. She said, "I have selected a few places. See which one is more suitable for you."
Lin Xian took the paper and started reading.
Zhou Leng listed three places in total, and also noted their advantages and disadvantages. After reading them, he said, "Thank you, fellow Taoist. I have also thought of a few places. After considering your recommendation, I think Wanheng County is the best choice."
Zhou Leng naturally wouldn't interfere any more.
In the next few days, Lin Xian and his companion temporarily stayed at Zhou Leng's house, and then went out early and came back late, and registered a company called Wonderful Amusement City, with Lin Xian as the legal person.
A week later.
Zhou Leng drove the two to Wanheng County. They talked with relevant persons in charge for a few days as investors, promising to bring jobs to the surrounding residents and tax revenue to the county. Then the three of them rented three unnamed mountains in Wanheng County for fifty years at a price of 1.8 million.
With such prices, it can be seen that they are indeed poor.
After signing the contract, Lin Xian named the three peaks Centennial Peak, Thousand-Year Peak, and Ten-Thousand-Year Peak.
When the three of them stood at the foot of the mountain, Lin Xian said, "I was narrow-minded before. As long as we are together, everywhere is a demon land. Spread the news and let everyone act quickly."
Tao Li smiled and nodded, her eyes full of admiration and joy as she looked at Lin Xian.
