Be a master of metaphysics in a substitute text

Chapter 214: The Secret of Lingshan

Lin Qianyu's matter came to an end, and Jiang Qi returned to North City.

Wen Xi has recently postponed many announcements and stayed at home.

From afar, I saw Wen Xi squatting by the swimming pool in the courtyard with the door open.

Jiang Qi turned and knocked on the door next door.

Hearing the voice, Wen Xi looked over and smiled when he realized it was Jiang Qi.

"Shen Mei said that you have been very busy recently and took on a business in the imperial capital. Have you settled it?" Jiang Qi's ability is obvious to all, and she is not worried at all that there is nothing that the other party cannot handle.

Jiang Qi glanced at Shen Yan who was swimming happily in the pool next to Wen Xi.

He also wanted to tease it, but the fish seemed to recognize its master and circled around to avoid Jiang Qi's hand that was about to fall, then turned under the water and hid behind Wen Xi's hand.

I felt a gentle kiss on my wrist.

Wen Xi touched Xiaoyu's head with tenderness in his eyes.

She said softly. "Go play!"

In such a big swimming pool, there is only a fish the size of a palm.

"Are you sure he's not depressed?"

"Do you mean that I should buy a few more rivals and put them in there?" Wen Xi has tried her best to make time to accompany Shen Yan. Compared to the workaholic she used to be, nowadays, except for necessary filming, she rarely appears in public.

Some people have long speculated whether she was going to retire from the entertainment industry, or whether she was hinting that Wen Xi had found a sponsor and was going to marry into a wealthy family.

Wen Xi doesn't care about the rumors outside. She lives here peacefully.

What the entertainment industry lacks the least is good-looking people. More newcomers will emerge, and she will slowly become a thing of the past.

A head suddenly popped up from the top of the wall, and Shen Mei called out Jiang Qi's name in an unpleasant tone.

Maybe he was blaming her for not telling him when she came back, or maybe she came looking for him following the scent.

After a quick rant, he retracted his head.

After all, she was still a little afraid of Jiang Qi.

As soon as Jiang Qi left, Wen Xi's agent drove over. He was turned away several times before. He wanted to scratch Wen Xi's door every time.

Today is an exception, the door is wide open.

Before entering the room, the agent looked back and saw the sky covered with fiery clouds hanging over the Xiajiang District. It was clearly daytime, but it added an air of mystery to Jiahe Nanding, which was already considered mysterious by the outside world.

The agent was so frightened that he quickly stepped into the house.

……

"This variety show is one that so many people are trying their best to be on. If you weren't so famous and popular, you definitely wouldn't have gotten a chance. Do you know that if you continue like this, you'll be completely out of fashion? Be picky while you still have the confidence, and don't let the duck you get fly away. Without popularity, no one will give you resources in the future even if you beg for them."

The agent tried his best to persuade the artist who was in his rebellious period.

"And you've always wanted to go to Jiuling Mountain. The second episode of the program will be held at Jiuling Mountain."

Wen Xi, who originally had no interest and was planning to refuse, became more expressive after hearing about Jiuling Mountain.

"Didn't Jiuling Mountain prohibit outsiders from entering many years ago?"

Jiuling Mountain is located in the East City, far away from the North City and the Imperial Capital. From the map, one is in the south and the other is in the north. Jiuling Mountain is a mountain range next to the East City. Because of its unique geographical advantages, it was one of the mountains that many hikers wanted to conquer many years ago.

Jiuling Mountain is just like its name, it is composed of nine mountains connected together. Each mountain has its own unique side, with overlapping peaks, winding and picturesque scenery.

Human beings have never stopped exploring nature.

The trees in Jiuling Mountain are so tall that they block out the sun. The light is dim and the forest is shrouded in fog for many years. In the past few decades, only the first three mountains have been explored.

A few years ago, a civilian expedition team ignored the official warning signs and entered Jiuling Mountain without permission. They were missing for half a month, and 15 of the 14 members of the expedition team died, with the remaining one still missing.

According to legend, Jiuling Mountain is mysterious and contains many mountain and sea legends.

Perhaps it is because they realize that with the current strength of mankind, it is not enough to uncover the mystery of this mountain.

Ever since that incident happened, the authorities have completely blocked off the entire Jiuling Mountain and prohibited anyone from entering.

Once discovered, severe punishment will be imposed.

There are things Wen Xi needs on Jiuling Mountain, but unfortunately she has lost most of her power for Shen Yan, and her current strength is not enough to support her to come out unscathed after entering Jiuling Mountain.

Jiang Qi is a good candidate.

What a pity, only the sea people can bring such things out personally.

Seeing her interest, the agent told her everything he knew. "You know that was many years ago. I heard it! I just heard someone inside pass on the news. The person in charge has changed, and the person in charge wants to reopen Jiuling Mountain to attract more traffic. That's Jiuling Mountain, which is said to be one of the most mysterious mountains in China. Once the news of the opening spreads, it will definitely cause a sensation. And this variety show has taken the lead, so it is conceivable that the artists participating in it will get a lot of attention. Besides, this is also officially allowed. If we really agree to it, we will be the first group of people to enter Jiuling Mountain after it has been closed for so many years."

Before the sunset, the agent left happily with Wen Xi's reply.

The roar of the sports car created a piercing sound in the silent Nanding.

This disturbed Jiang Qi who was sleeping next door, and the girl under the quilt was also frowning in her dream.

It was already dark, and the agent's car had not yet left Xiajiang District. The middle-aged man wiped the cold sweat that had accumulated on his forehead.

It’s evil.

According to the usual time, we should have arrived in the city long ago.

The straight road ahead was pitch black, and the trees on both sides were like monsters lurking in the darkness, ready to jump out and kill people if one was not careful.

After another half an hour, we were still spinning in circles.

The agent trembled as he picked up the phone and called Wen Xi.

"I seem to have hit a wall."

It's either like that or I'm stuck in a maze.

Connecting the causes and consequences, Wen Xi roughly understood the reason.

"Don't worry! You must have lost your way. Just follow the navigation again and you will be back to the city safely."

Wen Xi's words reached the agent's ears through the receiver. There was an inexplicable sense of relief.

After hanging up the phone, I did as Wen Xi said, and actually saw the intersection leading to the city twenty minutes later.

……

The fragrance drifted into the bedroom through the window, waking up Jiang Qi who was still sleeping.

Wen Xi is an excellent cook.

When I was filming, I traveled all over the country with the crew. I got tired of the boxed lunches provided by the crew, so when I had free time I would learn how to cook the famous local dishes. Gradually I honed my skills.

Jiang Qi just entered the house and heard a sound coming from the kitchen.

"My agent is a coward. Next time we have a quarrel, you can try another method, like putting a giant python in his car."

Agent: Listen to me. Thank you so much. (End of this chapter)
