Chapter 748 The Mysterious Old Man
Time to morning.
Several buses are driving on the road leading to a scenic spot in the 100,000 mountains in Yanjian City.
This huge convoy belongs to the tour group that Jiang Chen and Chen Juxing signed up for.
And the two of them were sitting in one of the buses at this time.
Looking at the trees that kept retreating on both sides of the road, Chen Juxing seemed quite excited.
He held a bag of snacks in his hand, took out the snacks with the other hand but did not put them into his mouth. Instead, he passed Jiang Chen and fed them to Xiaobai, the innermost seat.
After yesterday's insect banquet and Chen Juxing's efforts over the past half day, Xiaobai's attitude towards him has improved a lot, which undoubtedly made him very happy.
Chen Juxing said to Jiang Chen while feeding Xiaobai snacks.
"Brother Jiang Chen, don't think I'm not old, but there are countless places I have been traveling to over the years."
"I have visited all the famous mountains, and I have visited many scenic attractions that are more beautiful than here."
"But... I really haven't had any trips so much for me!"
"Do you think this is strange?"
"What's so strange about this? What attracts you is not the scenery here?" Jiang Chen said in his heart.
but.
Jiang Chen did not open his mouth to expose Chen Juxing. He seemed to suddenly remember something and asked softly.
"You like to travel so much, and especially like to go to famous mountains. Isn't the purpose of becoming a disciple?"
"Ah?" Chen Juxing was slightly shocked and looked at Jiang Chen in surprise, "How did you know?"
"Although Uncle Li said I can't practice, I still want to give it a try."
"I heard Uncle Li say before that there are warlock sects hidden in many mountains, so I just want to try my luck."
Speaking of this, Chen Juxing's face turned dark and he said angrily.
"It's a pity that I've been to so many places but haven't met a warlock at all, let alone discovered the warlock sect!"
Jiang Chen: "........."
Jiang Chen really wanted to tell Chen Zhuxing that even if he was facing the warlock, he would not recognize his identity even if he walked face to face with the sorcerer. Those sects were protected by magic circles, and it was not something that ordinary people could discover.
However.
Before Jiang Chen could speak, the gloom on Chen Ruxing's face disappeared without a trace, replaced by a look of joy.
"But this time it's different."
"The Gu Master will appear in this Drum Festival. At that time, no matter what, I will let him accept me as his disciple!"
When it comes to becoming a disciple, Chen Juxing's face is full of determination.
"This kid is out of salvation!"
Jiang Chen rubbed his forehead helplessly.
"Well, good luck and successfully become a disciple!"
"Hehe~Thank you brother Jiang Chen!"
Jiang Chen shook his head slightly, then began to close his eyes and rest as he continued to tease Xiaobai, the innermost seat, through Jiang Chen.
certainly.
It’s not that Chen Zhixing doesn’t want to change seats with Jiang Chen and is directly next to Xiaobai, but that Xiaobai doesn’t allow him to be next to him for the time being.
On the other side.
Jiang Chen seemed to be closing his eyes to rest, but in fact he secretly released his spiritual consciousness to explore the bus at the end of the convoy - Fujino was sitting on the bus.
He had never relaxed his surveillance of Fujino before, but he was surprised to find that Fujino had not done anything unusual.
When gathering in the morning, Jiang Chen also found Fujino in the crowd. He took the bus from the travel agency like other passengers.
Along the way, Jiang Chen has been paying attention to Fujino's actions.
But.
Fujino is like an ordinary traveler, and even discusses this trip with people around him from time to time.
After discovering Fujino's performance, Jiang Chen became even more confused.
"This guy has never performed anything unusual. What exactly does he want to do?"
--------------
Among the 100,000 mountains.
In a village, a figure hurriedly ran to the second floor of a stilt house, and then gently knocked on the door in front of him.
Looking closely, this person was the mysterious middle-aged man who had met Fujino in the woods outside Lingde City.
"Dong~Dong~Dong!"
As soon as the man knocked on the door, there was a response inside the room.
"Juying, come in!"
The surname "Ju" is also a common Chinese surname for some "cooked Miao" in Miaojiang.
Juying reached out and pushed open the wooden door and met an old man in the room.
Juying stood at the door and said respectfully: "Sir!"
In fact, it’s not that Juying didn’t want to enter the room in front of her, but that there was no place for him to stay in this room.
At this time, in this room of dozens of square meters, the floor, furniture and beams of the eyes were covered with dense poisonous snakes.
Viper snakes of various sizes and a wide variety of species filled the ground of the room, and even the old man sitting cross-legged on the ground was also covered with poisonous snakes.
but.
Juying seemed to have been used to this scene for a long time, and said calmly.
"Sir, everything has been investigated!"
"Tell me!" The old man said calmly and had no expression on his face.
When Juying heard this, she immediately told her the gains of her trip without hesitation.
"Sir, the other people's tasks have been completed perfectly, only the Ma Jing brothers from Lingde City have had an accident."
"They were found dead in the villa where they settled. The specific cause of death is unknown, and it is suspected that the Anti-Evil Alliance has already learned about this!"
When Juying mentioned the Ma Jing brothers, a strange color finally flashed in the old man's unremitting eyes. Unfortunately, Juying did not see this scene.
The old man naturally knew that the Ma Jing brothers were backfired because they were touched by the ban, but he would definitely not tell the person in front of him about this.
"It's okay, as long as the old guys from the Anti-Evil Alliance don't come, it's okay. The rest of the others will just die."
Juying nodded slightly and continued to report.
"After the death of brother Ma Jing, the mission targets are still eight people short of. Fujino proposed to bring back those eight goals, but I stopped them."
"You did a good job, and now you are not bad for those eight people. As long as they complete all the tasks at hand," the old man said calmly.
"Thank you for your praise!" Juying respectfully saluted the old man.
"There are only the last few days left now. You have to work harder and make sure that there will be no accidents." The old man continued to instruct.
"Don't worry, my subordinates will definitely complete the task!"
Seeing that the old man didn't speak anymore, Juying immediately prepared to leave.
But.
Before he could speak, the old man's dull voice came out of the room again.
"How is it happening over [Xuanlong Sect]?"
When Juying heard the old man's inquiry, he frowned slightly, but he still replied honestly.
"Sir, the [Long Xun Cult] said that as long as we hand over what they need to them, they will definitely appear on time to stop some of the anti-evil alliance."
"These guys who don't show off their rabbits and don't show off their eagles!"
The old man's tone was still calm. He looked up at Juying, who showed hesitation and said.
"Speak straight away if you have anything you want to say!"
"Sir!" Juying organized his own language and replied, "I always feel that the people of the [Longlong Sect] are not worthy of trust. It is really a bit of cooperation with them..."
The old man nodded slightly and said.
"I naturally know that they are unreliable, and I will not trust them completely, and I will not give them what they want first."
While speaking, the old man stretched out his right hand slightly.
"Hiss~hiss!"
A small snake less than a foot long quietly emerged from the old man's sleeve and crawled onto the old man's right palm.
Looking at the little snake that kept spitting out the letters, the old man whispered.
"And, if this action succeeds, it's a question whether they can still take that thing away."
"I am also interested in the treasure copper coins!"
