Want some squishy little foxes?

From the very beginning, this journey was full of haste and weirdness.

But now that everything has come, they can only bite the bullet and start investigating.

"Jinguo Mountain," the nearby hotel owner immediately waved his hands when they heard their question, "Don't go, don't go, that place is very weird!"

"Can you tell me more about it?" Su Li clasped his hands together and begged sincerely, "Please!"

The boy was well-behaved, young and handsome, with two big round eyes that were clear and bright, as if he could speak.

After being stared at by him for a while, the boss was completely defeated.

"Hey, you young kids, if you don't stay in school well, you just want to come out to find excitement every day." He shook his head, as if he regarded Su Li as an anchor who went out to find material. Simple, since a few years ago, this area has become more and more cold, so cold that the Jinguo Mountain, which was originally full of trees, was buried by heavy snow, and the forest rangers on those mountains died for no apparent reason."

Su Li was surprised and said, "Is there such a thing?"

"That's right, the old people in Yicheng said that those guys who poached on the mountain angered the mountain god, and that's why Jinguo Mountain became like this." The boss was busy with his work, without raising his head, said, " That's all I know, if you want to know more, you can go to Boss Sun in the city, he is the richest man in Yicheng, Jinguo Mountain is his property now."

"Boss Sun..." Su Li nodded thoughtfully, "Thank you. What's Boss Sun's full name?"

"Sun Wukong."

"……What???"

Su Li suspected for a moment that he had misheard, but the boss looked at him helplessly, and affirmed: "That's right, Boss Sun is a well-known fan of the Great Sage, he changed his name by himself."

"I also worship my ancestors, but I haven't changed my name to Su Daji." The little fox muttered.

However, those who dare to take such a name are definitely not ordinary people.

Su Li and the others found the company under Boss Sun's name, but because they didn't have an appointment, they couldn't even enter the gate.

"Hey, look at me," the little fat man pushed him away, took out a certificate from his pocket, and showed it to the security guard, "See, we are from the national security department, and I need to talk to your boss about something!"

The security guard glanced at the Golden Triangle badge of the Supervision Bureau on the certificate, and sneered, "You think I'm stupid? If the National Security Bureau's certificate is like yours, I will write my name upside down! Brat, how many dollars did you buy a fake certificate online?"

"False certificate?!" Cang Yuan blushed so angry that he glared at the security guard and said, "Go and find it yourself on the Internet and see who dares to do it for you!"

"Hey little fat man, you have a big temper." The security guard probably used to be a gangster. Seeing that he was still in a good mood, he rolled up his sleeves and was about to fight, but was stopped by a gentle female voice: "Okay Xiao Wang, if you have something to say, don't do anything."

Several people turned their heads to look, and a beautiful woman in maternity clothes was stroking her bulging belly and looking at them with a smile.

"Several, why don't we talk in another place?"

After sitting down on the sofa of the luxurious mountain view villa, Su Li still couldn't believe it.

As soon as I arrived at the company, I met Boss Sun's wife. What kind of shit luck did they have?

He looked around from the corner of his eye. The glass cabinet in the living room was filled with sculptures of the Monkey King in various versions. There were more than a dozen of them. The largest sculpture was almost half a person tall. Both the movements and expressions were lifelike. In addition, there is also a tile collage of Monkey King on the wall at the entrance; there is also a piece of wood in the display cabinet not far away, which is very valuable at first glance, and I don’t know what material it is made of. The whole villa is full of elements of "Journey to the West".

——Could this be the legendary, two-dimensional god, the highest state of idol worship?

Su Li couldn't help being in awe.

"I'm really sorry, my company's security has caused you trouble," Mrs. Sun sat across from them with an apologetic expression on her face, "Please help yourself to the tea on the table, it's not convenient for me to bend over."

The three young men looked at her belly, which was at least six months old, and shook their heads in panic:

"No, no, we can do it ourselves."

Su Li and Cang Yuan are young, and they have never seen a pregnant woman as old as Yue walking around on the street; Jin Hua has lived for thousands of years, but he has never had close contact with such a pregnant lady. I was also a little at a loss for a while.

The two demons and one ghost each held a teacup, sitting on the sofa like elementary school students, not knowing how to speak for a long time.

In the end, Mrs. Sun spoke first.

"Excuse me, the three of you are looking for my husband, what is the matter?" She paused, frowned slightly, with a slightly sad expression, "I just heard you say that you are a comrade from the National Security Bureau, could it be my husband? His business..."

"No, no, nothing." Su Li hurriedly explained, "Your husband is very nice. We are a scientific team from the country to investigate local climate change. We want to ask him some questions about Jinguo Mountain."

"So it is."

Madam Sun's eyebrows slowly relaxed, and the originally pale and frail beauty regained her smile, which immediately made them all heave a sigh of relief.

There is no way, this lady is so beautiful, and she exudes a strong maternity brilliance all over her body, so people can't bear to say harsh words to her.

"My husband will be back at work in about half an hour," she said politely to them. "I'll call him right now, please wait a moment."

Su Li was flattered and said: "You are really too polite."

As the richest man in the city, this self-made Boss Sun is worth hundreds of millions at least, but his wife doesn't have the arrogance of a nouveau riche. On the contrary, she is very reasonable and approachable, which is really rare.

Holding the teacup, Jin Hua said melancholy: "I was born before you, and I am old when I was born. This Mrs. Sun is really a demure and gentle lady, and she is really the virtuous wife I dream of."

The little fox couldn't help complaining: "No, judging from your situation, Jinhua, it should be more or less like 'the king was born and I was not born, and I was born and the king is dead'."

Jin Hua: "..."

As Mrs. Sun said, her husband came back shortly after.Hearing the sound of the door opening, the three of them put down their teacups at the same time, stood up and looked at the door, wanting to see who this man who called himself "Sun Wukong" was—

"Honey, why didn't you take the nanny out for a stroll again?" A thin and short man strode over from the entrance, ignoring everyone present, and just stared at Mrs. Sun with reproachful eyes, "You I'm six months pregnant, what if I bump into and fall on the street!"

Mrs. Sun sat quietly on her seat. When she saw her husband come back, she didn't get up, but just raised her head, and gave the man who purposely approached her a soft kiss on the cheek.

"Staying at home is really boring," she said with a smile, her voice was gentle and sweet, "I want to go out for a walk."

Jin Hua glared at Boss Sun, who was less than six feet tall, in grief and indignation, unable to utter a word for a long time:

"A gentleman doesn't judge a person by appearance, but this, this is really..."

—a flower stuck in cow dung!

Several people present had the same idea. Boss Sun looked to be in his thirties, and his appearance was said to be capable, but in fact he had sharp-mouthed monkey cheeks, a monkey face, and his height was the shortcoming of his shortcomings. Qian is just like a copy of Wu Dalang!

No wonder he named himself Sun Wukong, Su Li thought.

According to the original "Journey to the West", Sun Wukong is a scary monster with a height of only 1.3 meters and a hairy face and a thunderous mouth.

But seeing Madam Sun's sweet feeling when interacting with him, as an outsider, Su Li and the others can only wish him well.After all, the most important thing in life is to look at the compatibility of the two people. No matter how handsome you are, there will be a day when you will get tired of looking at it. If the person concerned feels happy, it doesn't matter what others think.

"These three are the people who came to investigate?" After getting tired of talking with his wife, Boss Sun finally focused on the few extra people. The boss's style, "Let's go to the study to discuss in detail, my wife can't sit for a long time."

"Okay, okay." The three chicks nodded in a pecking style.

"Honey, go to sleep for a while, and I'll accompany you when you see off the guests." Boss Sun turned his head and said to his wife, his tone was more than twice as gentle as before, "If you have anything, just ring the bell to call me .”

Mrs. Sun smiled: "Okay."

Cang Yuan watched her slowly receding back, and sighed: "Sure enough, a man's good looks and special feelings can't always coexist."

He spoke in a very soft voice, but unexpectedly, Boss Sun's expression turned cold immediately, a murderous glare made the little fat man tremble in fright, and he immediately hesitated to speak.

Seeing this, Su Li rushed to the rescue and said, "I'm sorry, Boss Sun, my colleague is not very good at talking, so don't take it to heart."

"Colleague?" Boss Sun snorted coldly, "Since there are only a few of us now, why don't you open the skylight and speak brightly. Tell me, the Supervision Bureau came to find me, what's the matter?"

"Boss Sun, you actually know about Chaoguan—wait a minute, are you a monster?"

Su Li's eyes widened.

"I'm a good monster who has been officially registered with you," Boss Sun said speechlessly, "Your system has my identity recorded, don't you want to check it before coming here?"

"I'm really sorry," Su Li struggled, "We just didn't expect... In short, this is a mistake in our work, please don't take it to heart."

The young man hesitated to speak, but in fact, the expressions of Cang Yuan and Jin Hua next to him were much more shocked than his.

No one expected that Boss Sun would be a monster!

It's not just because he doesn't have any evil spirit, many powerful monsters will take the initiative to curb their evil spirit; more importantly, he actually married a human wife and had a child with her!

No matter in human society or in the demon world, half-demons are cast aside, not only because of their heterogeneous bloodlines, they often appear neither human nor demon, but also because they possess both mana and demon power.

This is not a blessing, but a curse that the half-demon cannot get rid of in its entire life. Countless ancestors have proved with facts and theories that these two forces cannot coexist at all. The final outcome of the half-demon is either tortured to death by the power in the body, or He just managed to survive enduring boundless pain, and finally became insane, embarking on the road of revenge against society.

Moreover, the strength of half-monsters is usually astonishingly strong. After an extremely bad incident caused by half-monsters broke out decades ago, Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism finally jointly announced with Su Minshan that it is absolutely forbidden to marry humans and monsters.

"I know what you are thinking," Boss Sun said lightly, "My wife really doesn't know about this, but I have a way to solve the problem of the half-demon, and this matter is not under the control of your super management bureau, I also hope Don't gossip casually. Otherwise, you will bear the consequences."

The three looked at each other, and finally, Su Li stood up and said: "Boss Sun, we are here only to investigate the climate change of Jinguo Mountain, and we have nothing to do with it. Please rest assured. After we complete the task I will leave immediately, and I will never say a word to others."

Hearing this, Boss Sun's eyes were a little surprised.

He took a deep look at Su Li's serious expression: "I hope to remember what you said."

"Tell me," the man's attitude softened. He opened the door of the study and made a "please" gesture, "What do you want to ask?"

They chatted with Boss Sun for about half an hour in the study.

Su Li was in charge of asking questions, and Cang Yuan was in charge of his old business, recording information he considered important. As for Jin Hua, he seemed more willing to be a bystander, listening to their conversation quietly all the time.

In the middle of the journey, Su Li took a sip of water and glanced at the content recorded by Cang Yuan in his notebook. He summed it up very concisely, mainly in the following three points:

First, Boss Sun is not a local. He made his fortune in Southeast Asia, and finally met Mrs. Sun in Yicheng, and settled there;

Second, he bought Jinguo Mountain through the relationship of the municipal government. This golden monkey sanctuary, which was famous at home and abroad, has been out of name in recent years, and there are no tourists all year round.But it still costs the government a lot of financial expenses to maintain it, so the city simply sold it to a private company to see if marketization can bring it back to life;

Third, overhunting and the mysterious death of the administrator are facts. Boss Sun did not deny them, but they all happened before he bought Jinguo Mountain and had nothing to do with him.

"Who is the oldest administrator in Jinguo Mountain?" Su Li put down his teacup and continued to ask, "Can we meet him?"

"Yes, yes, but he has some physical problems recently, so he resigned and went to a big city to see a doctor." Boss Sun shrugged, "This man has no children, and I don't have his contact information."

Su Li thought for a while, and then said: "You said that Yicheng gradually became colder in the past twenty years, and finally changed from a spring city to a winter city. Didn't the relevant departments find out the reason?"

"I looked for it, but I couldn't find it." Boss Sun crossed Erlang's legs and said, he seemed very impatient to sit for a long time, and always made various small movements unconsciously, "I also want to know the reason, after all, the name of Jinguoshan comes from In Huaguo Mountain, it is all thanks to the monkeys on the mountain to become famous, but now every winter the mountain is covered with heavy snow, how can the monkeys survive?"

He complained: "Actually, I have contacted the Supervision Bureau several times before, and you didn't give an explanation. I thought you really didn't plan to take care of it."

"...I'm really sorry."

"If you apologize, it will be waived." Boss Sun waved his hand, "In short, let's get rid of this matter quickly. Whether it is caused by humans or demons, I just want to restore Jinguo Mountain to normal as soon as possible, otherwise those who have been placed by me The monkeys in the zoo are about to rebel."

Hearing this, Cang Yuan, who was busy recording at the side, couldn't help raising his head, and said, "You moved all the monkeys from a whole mountain?"

"Yeah," Boss Sun became excited when he mentioned this, "I'm the Monkey King! Did you see those sculptures in the living room?"

Several people nodded. Anyone who is not blind will notice such a big "figure".

"You like Monkey King very much?" Su Li asked curiously.

"I don't like it," Boss Sun corrected him with a serious face, "The Great Sage is my idol in my life, a role model for us monkeys! I have read the original "Journey to the West" no less than a hundred times, and the most classic TV series is even more so. I will revisit it every summer. I have already thought about it. When the child is born, the boy will be called Sun Qitian, and the girl will be called Sun Meiwang. What do you think?"

He looked at Su Li and the others with piercing eyes, and asked expectantly.

Three people: "..."

This name, I can only say that I hope it must not be a girl.

Otherwise, your daughter will cry miserably in the future.

"By the way," Su Li thought over and over again, but still mustered up the courage to ask, "Boss Sun, have you seen any other people from the Supervision Bureau recently?"

Cang Yuan's eyes widened, and he quickly lowered his voice to remind him: "Hey! Brother Wei has specifically explained this before coming here, so don't mention this matter!"

But Su Li ignored him, and just stared at Boss Sun stubbornly, hoping to get an answer from him.

"It seems that this person is very important to you?" Boss Sun raised his eyebrows with great interest.

"……Yes."

Seeing Su Li nodding, Boss Sun smiled meaningfully: "To tell you the truth, there was indeed someone who came to ask me about Jinguo Mountain before, but he didn't tell me his name, he only said his surname was Zhang."

Surname Zhang?

It's Zhang Huansan!Su Li and Cang Yuan looked at each other, thinking inwardly at the same time.

"Then what did he talk to you about?" Su Li asked eagerly.

"He only asked me one question." Boss Sun raised a finger, "Is there a legendary 'Water Curtain Cave' on Jinguo Mountain?"

"...What about the answer?"

Boss Sun said: "I told him that I am not sure, maybe there is. After all, Jinguoshan was built after Huaguoshan, but now the mountain is in disrepair, and I don't even know the plank road. .The man didn’t ask me anything else after hearing this, he just said he knew it and hung up the phone, and within a few days, I heard the news of the avalanche on the mountain. Why are you asking this?”

Su Li was a little embarrassed, wondering if he should tell the truth to Boss Sun.

Hearing this, Jin Hua's eyes flashed.

The young man stopped fiddling with the jade fan, smiled slightly and said, "This is an internal matter of the Supervision and Management Bureau, so I don't need to worry about it, Mr. Sun."

"I'm too lazy to care about it." Boss Sun snorted coldly and stood up, "If that's the case, then let's stop our conversation and don't give it away!"

For this sake, the three of them had no choice but to get up and leave.

But before leaving the villa, Su Li noticed a pair of couplets pasted on the door from the corner of his eye.

Shanglian: Breaking the Obstinate Stone and Soaring to the Heavens

The second couplet: Navigating the Heavenly Palace is all-powerful without fear of gods and demons

Horizontal batch: fight against Buddha

Looking at this domineering couplet, a strange feeling suddenly surged in his heart.

Worshiping powerful ancestors is very common among monsters, but Su Li always felt that Boss Sun's subtle demeanor revealed a sense of longing and inferiority complex.

He has always believed in his intuition, and this sense of contradiction is by no means groundless, but the most critical issue now is not this.

"I wanted to ask just now," Cang Yuan stopped and questioned, "Our task has nothing to do with the Forestry Bureau. Why are you asking so many irrelevant questions?"

Su Li hesitated for a moment, not knowing whether to tell him or not.

He still remembered that Old Wei said that this mission was an absolute secret, and even the field team members who went to carry out the mission with the Forest Bureau did not know much about it.Su Li himself was also at a loss, but——

"Don't you think it's a coincidence," he said, "The Lin Bureau and the others came to carry out the mission, and then Qian Jinyu came to try it out. The blood book stamp is the same. Lin Bureau has been stationed in the bureau all year round, and no one thought that he would leave suddenly , not to mention, I really can't think of us having anything worthy of others' concern."

Cang Yuan was taken aback: "You mean, that stamp..."

"Someone sent it to the forest bureau." Su Li affirmed, "He wanted to lure the forest bureau to this place."

But there are still unexplainable contradictions, Cang Yuanfei explained: "But how can that person be sure that the Forest Bureau will definitely come over when he sees the stamps? What if it's just a prank?"

"This is what I don't understand." Su Li murmured, took out a stamp from his pocket and looked at it carefully again, "This looks like an ordinary commemorative stamp, unless..."

"Unless for Lin Su, Jinguo Mountain is very sensitive, and any disturbance will alert him." Jin Hua tapped on his fan and boldly guessed, "Maybe, what treasure is buried on Jinguo Mountain? Otherwise Your colleague named Zhang, why did you ask Boss Sun about the Water Curtain Cave?"

"That's right, this is it!" Su Li said happily as he tapped his palm.

"Jinhua, bringing you here is the most correct decision I've ever made in my life," he sighed sincerely, "What did you do when you were alive? It feels like you know everything."

Jin Hua opened the fan with a "snap", and smiled reservedly: "I'm not talented, I'm just a staff member."

"Staff?!"

The little fox took a deep breath, and said with bright eyes, "Is it like Guo Jia and Zhuge Liang who are strategizing and winning thousands of miles away?"

"No, there are many types of staff."

"Then are you...?"

"Accompany the lord to drink and chat, play the piano and sing, enjoy flowers and birds," Jin Hua showed a look of nostalgia, "I really miss that era, only talking about love and romance, not about state affairs."

Su Li and Cang Yuan: "..."

After working for a long time, it turned out that he was a senior cowherd.

"What kind of expression do you guys have?" Jin Hua came back to his senses and said dissatisfied, "At that time, the staff and followers were all talented and educated people. In the first year, he traveled all over the great mountains and rivers, searched for the scriptures of hundreds of schools, and discussed the Tao for 30 years without fail!"

"What about after 30 years?" Cang Yuan asked smoothly.

"After that? I'll die after that." Jin Hua said lazily, "He died young, God is jealous of talents."

Seeing that the topic gradually deviated from the main purpose, Su Li had no choice but to clear his throat and stand up to preside over the overall situation.

"Hey, well, let's discuss what to do next. Does anyone want to go climbing with me tomorrow?"

The little fox opened his eyes wide and looked around expectantly, only to find that the person and demon in front of him were looking around, looking at the sky and the ground, but not at him.

"Jinhua," he looked at the young man hurtfully, "it's fine if you don't go, why are you rolling your eyes at me?"

"No. In the Wei and Jin Dynasties, green and white eyes were all the rage." Jin Hua said seriously.

Before Su Li could speak, he sighed and said helplessly, "It's not that I don't want to be with you, but you just said, young master, that someone intends to design Lin Su, so there must be dangers on Jinguo Mountain right now. The two of you A little monster with weak demon strength chose to go up the mountain at this time, isn't it right in the arms of others, looking for death?"

In addition, Jin Hua did not say a word.

This boss Sun is very problematic.

He believed that Su Li could also see that there was a contradiction in what the man said before:

Is it possible that a person who has the ability to safely transfer a whole mountain of monkeys to a zoo says he doesn't know what's going on on the mountain?

This person seemed to be thinking about their safety inside and out, but when he thought about it carefully, he was clearly trying to lure them up the mountain!

"But..." Su Li was still a little unwilling.

"Let's think about it in the long run," Jin Hua said, "I understand your feelings, but it's useless to be anxious now. Besides, I don't think that man will die so easily." He looked at the boy and smiled meaningfully , "I have lived for so many years, and I have a good eye for seeing people. Lin Su has obsessions in his heart. Even if he dies, he will try his best to climb up from hell."

Su Li tilted his head, confusion was written all over his face.

What you said is obviously human, why can't I understand a single word?

Twilight fell.

Boss Sun stood in front of the window, quietly watching them go away.

His wife's suppressed cough came from behind him, and he immediately closed the curtains, turned around and came to the bed, and asked with concern, "Honey, are you all right?"

"Ahem, it's okay." Because of the cough, Mrs. Sun's face flushed slightly. With the help of her husband, she sat up with difficulty and leaned sickly on the head of the bed. "Take the medicine at home quickly." It's over, I'll go to the hospital tomorrow..."

"No need," Boss Sun said decisively, "The hospital can't buy this kind of medicine. I'll take care of it. You don't have to worry about it."

"Is it expensive?" She looked at her husband worriedly.

"Not expensive at all."

Boss Sun gently stroked his wife's belly, with a pious and firm expression, like a martyr who despises death.

Inside was a life conceived, their unborn child.

"Don't worry, the next batch of medicinal materials is already on the way."

He whispered to his wife, his eyes dark and deep.

"...Moreover, the quality this time is definitely top-notch."
