Imperial City Investigative Department

Chapter 133 Illusion ([-]) A Change

Xu Damang said: "Since there is something wrong, let's go another way. There is not only one mountain stream in the mountains."

Wu Chen listened to the persuasion, and the three of them retreated to the mountain road and continued to walk higher.

Wu Chen asked: "It is rumored that Laojie Mountain is full of aura and is suitable for cultivation. Have you heard of anyone who has attained Taoism and become immortal on this mountain in recent years?"

The second year of high school said: "I have never heard of it. How can it be so easy to become a fairy?"

"Isn't there any in the legend? For example, who ascended to immortality in Laojie Mountain hundreds of years ago... No, if there were, someone would definitely build a temple to pay homage to it, but Laojie Mountain is only a Taoist temple, which is still dilapidated. Where did you go?"

Xu Da laughed and said: "Don't worry about where the spiritual energy has gone, first find out where all the people who went to the mountain to practice have gone."

Wu Chen raised his eyebrows, looked not far ahead and said, "Why do I feel like I haven't seen this place before?"

"What? How are your eyes, nose, and ears so long? Are they all so useful? I see that the mountain is all the same, and the view from a distance is not bad." The second grader said.

"There is a small road ahead, let's go in and have a look. It's not that I have a good memory. When I went up the mountain before, I would pay attention to where there is a road beside the road. I don't remember that there is one here. Although we have never been to the top of the mountain, we have walked this road twice. .”

As Wu Chen said, he took a few quick steps, turned to the path, and entered the forest.

This path is like a dividing line, cutting the mountain forest into two sides, like a plank road on a steep cliff, with no weeds on the path, winding and stretching into the depths of the dense forest.

Wu Chen stopped again. After thinking about various possibilities, he said, "Both of you go to the mountain road and wait for me. If I don't come out after dark, you... start setting fire to the mountain from here, but no one should go in."

Senior Two drew out his long sword, looked around vigilantly, and said seriously: "If it's so dangerous, why not order people to burn the mountain now."

Wu Chen turned to look at Gao Er and asked, "There must be a reason to burn the mountain now, right? Just because I said it's dangerous? It's okay to burn something, but what if it doesn't burn? What if half of the mountain is destroyed? I Don't you have to go in and look for it?"

Xu Damang said:

"It's really unreasonable to burn the mountain now, but since you don't let us follow, you have discovered something, so can you go in after making complete preparations? Or go to the top of the mountain first, if there is no cloud and fog to cover it, maybe you can see something, It’s not too late to make plans.”

"I've already retreated once just now. If you see something wrong, you will withdraw. When will the case be investigated? If you don't know who is on this mountain, you can't make complete preparations."

The second year of high school hurriedly asked: "What's wrong here?"

Wu Chen pursed his lips, pointed to the path and said, "There isn't a single leaf on this path."

The sophomore said hurriedly: "It's true! Could it be that there are ghosts who clean up every day?"

Wu Chen suddenly stretched out his left hand and waved it at the upward position in front of him. There was a rush in the forest, and the fallen leaves were flying, but none of them fell on the path.

"Why, why?" the sophomore asked in surprise.

Wu Chen shrugged his shoulders and said, "I don't know, but if something goes wrong, there must be a demon. Maybe someone wants us to go in this way. I can't die, but I can't let you put yourself at risk knowing there is a fraud."

Xu Dashen frowned and asked, "Your ears are amazing, how many people can you hear at the end of the road?"

Wu Chen shook his head and said, "Apart from the sound of water, there is no other sound. This is what I am worried about. If something really happened, the people inside must be very powerful..."

"Then the two of us should follow along! Two fists are no match for four hands, Xu Da and I are not weak."

Wu Chen took a deep breath, thought about it when he went out today, he didn't feel worried, maybe he was thinking too much, so he said: "Well, you two must follow me closely, let's come here too knowing that there are tigers in the mountains to be afraid of. The feat of going to the Tiger Mountain, how can you catch a tiger if you don’t enter the tiger’s den, right? Investigate the case, of course it’s not right to investigate..."

"Can you stop nagging? It sounds annoying." The second year of high school said.

Wu Chen chuckled, and the three of them walked cautiously deep into the path.

If Wu Chen had waited a little longer, he would have heard Datou's shout at the foot of the mountain.

At the foot of the mountain, Datou was kneeling on the ground to kowtow to Guo Xuan, begging Guo Xuan to let him go up the mountain. Guo Xuan served Cao Bingshan in the house before, so he had seen Datou, but he had never spoken to him. prove.

Guo Xuan was very troubled, he was afraid of Wu Chen from the bottom of his heart, how dare he disobey Wu Chen's order?Wu Chen didn't allow anyone to go up the mountain, even if his own mother and father came, he didn't dare to let him go, but this person in front of him was Mr. Wu's brother...

Datou was going crazy, he was not good at words, he only kowtowed blindly, no one could stop him, he kowtowed and cried: "I want to go up the mountain to bring my brother back, it's not good if it's late .”

Guo Xuan gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, but he was only willing to go up the mountain alone.

Datou ran up the mountain while shouting, but at this moment, no matter how good Wu Chen's hearing was, he couldn't hear him anymore.

……

Wu Chen, Gao Er and Xu Da walked along the path towards the mountain forest. After walking for about a stick of incense, the mountain forest became more and more dense, and the branches and leaves covered the sky, and they couldn't see the sky when they looked up. The three of them knew it was daytime, but as Night through the forest.

Wu Chen already regretted it. He touched the small jug in his arms in the second year of high school. It contained clear water and a drop of blood that he secretly squeezed in. He thought he was very smart at the time, but now he knows how much it is when he is in the situation. stupid.

If the danger comes from people, then there is nothing to be afraid of, if not?This small jug can only hold three taels of clear water, if he splashes it vigorously, there will be nothing left. If the danger comes from all directions, how can he evenly cover it with rain and dew?
The second year of high school and Xu Da also regretted it. The two thought surprisingly the same. They both felt that if there was any danger, not only would they not be able to help, but they might even become Wu Chen's burden. They only looked at the scenery and atmosphere in front of them. unlikely.

The three of them walked forward cautiously, Wu Chen stopped suddenly, Gao Er and Xu Da immediately stood back to back, holding swords and looking around vigilantly.

Wu Chen frowned and said, "I feel more and more wrong..."

Wu Chen hadn't finished speaking when he heard the sophomore call out: "Grandfather!" Xu Da immediately called out: "Miss Cheng!"

Wu Chen turned around and saw that Senior Two and Xu Da had already run in two directions. Wu Chen was startled and shouted, "Come back! It's all an illusion!" But it was useless. Wu Chen didn't have time to think about it. Running away, he made a knife with his hand and slashed hard from top to bottom, as if he wanted to tear the picture in front of him.

There was no sound, and there was no flying sand and rocks as Wu Chen thought, but the forest in front of him was bent in a strange posture. Gao Er and Xu Da were knocked down by Wu Chen's strength and passed out.
