A yellow mud path hovers through the dense deep forest, covered by greenery on both sides, and the afternoon sun does not leak a bit.

Everyone in the car was drowsy, and the car horn suddenly sounded, and they were shocked to see that the front suddenly opened up, and an iron sign stretched out from the side of the road

On the mottled lacquer surface, three words are written crookedly with charcoal - Furnace Foot Camp.

"It's finally here!" Lao Tu stood up and stretched, just as the car stopped, he walked towards the car with a grin.

"The young man has a heart and can't sit still. Zong Youmin smiled helplessly, but he really promoted Lao Tu as a junior.

"Where is it, the Xiongcheng branch led by Brother Zong has many talents, and Tu Xiaoyou has such an awareness at a young age, which is the hope of our Heavenly Star Society!"

The first to speak was a middle-aged man, tall and slender, with small eyes and a mustache.

This person is the person in charge of the Yucheng branch of the Tianxing Society, named Dong Dashan, because Yucheng is a small city, he came alone, and he relied on Zong Youmin to take care of his face all the way, so he was naturally happy to pat Zong Youmin's ass.

It was not only the presidents of the two cities who were in the same car, he was holding Zong Youmin like this, naturally some people couldn't get used to it, and before he finished speaking, someone said coldly: "Fart Jingshan, don't be disgusting here, get in the way of the brothers." ”

The man who spoke was called Ge Zhidan, in his twenties, with a slender body and a round face like a bean sprout.

He and his two elder brothers, Ge Zhili and Ge Zhiming, are the heads of Guangcheng, another neighboring city in Xiongcheng, and Guangcheng is stronger than Xiongcheng, so they naturally don't take Zong Youmin seriously.

Dong Dashan didn't dare to provoke these three thorns, and blushed and smiled at Zong Youmin, who had a much deeper city than him, and didn't speak, just smiled and stretched out his arms to the three of them, and made a gesture of please.

Ge Zhidan snorted coldly, got out of the car with the two brothers, Li Huizhi's face was gloomy, and when Dong Dashan and Bai Xiu also left, he whispered: "Why don't you take advantage of the fact that there are many people in the past few days, and the three of them will be ...... To prevent future troubles?"

He made a gesture of cutting his throat, but Zong Youmin waved his hand: "First hold your troops, Lord Tianxing and Mr. Feng attach great importance to this Spirit Descent Festival, so don't go to the tiger's whiskers at this time and challenge their bottom line." ”

He paused, and suddenly smiled: "Of course, it would be great if we could let them cause some trouble, and then we don't have to do it, and the Celestial Star Society will not be able to accommodate the three of them." ”

Li Huizhi understood, looked at the old picture who was looking curiously on the side of the road, and also showed a smile: "Brother Zong, leave this matter to me." ”

Bai Xiu naturally didn't know that they were already playing the old picture in their hearts, and they still quietly observed the surroundings.

This furnace foot camp covers an area of not large, the structure is also very simple, the west side of the road is a special open space for parking, at this time there are also a few cars parked, I don't know if the other people of the Tianxing Club have arrived, or other people who have entered the mountain.

There are only two houses on the east side, one tall and the other short, and the tall one is a building built by the authorities to make it easier for the villagers of Mantouling Village to enter and leave the mountain to rest, called the Lujiaoying Guest House.

It has four floors, four rooms on each floor, all with simple furniture and bedding, and a sleeper can stay for a night for only ten yuan.

The old man usually had nothing else to do except clean the guest house, so he set up a small stall in front of the house to sell mineral water, instant noodles, batteries and other emergency things.

Behind them is a vegetable field and fruit forest, at this time it is the turn of spring and summer, and the green field in it is very vibrant.

Seeing Zong Youmin and Li Hui getting out of the car, Lao Tu leaned over and asked, "Lao Zong, what are we going to do next?"

Zong Youmin didn't care about his attitude, and talked about their plan: "Let's stay in the guest house for one night first, most of the ordinary believers have already gone up the mountain, and this is all reserved for us, just rest and rest, and then go up the mountain together when the person in charge of the Nine Cities and Twenty-three Associations arrives." ”

Lao Tu fully showed his nouveau riche temperament, shook his head and said to Bai Xiu: "Come on, cousin, let's stay here for the night!"

While speaking, the four of them had already arrived at the guest house, and there was just a person pacing out of the gate, he was in his seventies, dressed in dark blue hard cloth clothes, thin and thin, it was the administrator of the guest house, Lao You.

He swept the floor and said to them without looking up, "202, 203." ”

When he went upstairs, Lao Tu gave a thumbs up, and couldn't help but sigh: "The old man is a thief, and he has a good temper!"

Zong Youmin smiled: "Lao You has been working here for almost twenty years, and we have met a few times, and we have always been like this. ”

Bai Xiu was a little curious: "Are all the rooms pre-arranged for tonight's accommodation?"

Zong Youmin knew what he meant, and said: "That's not it, it's just that there are rules in the Lujiao Camp, no matter who comes, they have to live in order, and they can't pick and choose, so Lao You naturally knows which room we want to live in." ”

Lao Tuyi touched his chin: "That means that the first six rooms are full?

Zong Youmin's answer was similar to Bai Xiu's previous guess: "I don't know, I guess it's other individual customers." ”

Lao Tu breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and looked at Bai Xiu, meaning of course that Xun Fang and the others should have arrived, and they didn't have to worry about anything else.

The four of them went upstairs again, and the layout of the second floor was similar to that of the same floor, with a corridor connecting four rooms, and the two ends were more than one piece, which was more spacious.

Lao Tu looked at it, and he was angry, pointed to the two slightly larger rooms and shouted: "They actually took all the good ones, it's too bullying!"

Zong Youmin and the others were much calmer, and Li Huizhi persuaded him even more rarely: "Anyway, just stay for one night, it's not too much." ”

Bai Xiu felt strange in his heart, although he didn't get along with Li Huizhi much, he could also see that this person was not the kind of generous person, and he was a little surprised to be able to say this.

Lao Tu was still scolding, probably the sound insulation effect of these rooms was not good, and at this time, the room near the corridor came from Ge Zhidan's smug laughter: "Who told you to grind, you deserve it!"

Lao Tu had nowhere to go out of the fire, so he was so angry that he stomped his feet, and then he thought of something: "Didn't you say that you have to come according to the rules, how can they choose a room?"

Li Huizhi said casually: "Probably Lao You saw us getting off the car together, so he thought we were together." ”

At this point, no matter how much you care, it's too late, Lao Tu had to sigh and say: "Okay, anyway, the rest is the same, let's not be polite, I live in 202 with my cousin, and you live in 203." ”

There is no doubt that the four of them are led by Zong Youmin, but he doesn't care about Lao Tu's arrogance, and smiles at Li Huizhi.

The latter said: "Then let's go and rest first, the three meals in this guest house are paid separately, and they have to be booked in advance, if they are not enough, they may not be ordered, but fortunately, Mr. Yun has already greeted Lao You, and when the others arrive, they can have dinner." ”

They chatted a few words and went back to their rooms.

As soon as he entered the door, Lao Tu couldn't wait to take out his mobile phone and dialed the number gloatingly: "Contact Xun Fang and them first and tell them the unfortunate news - they have to eat instant noodles at night." ”

Xun Fang quickly answered the phone, but it was Xiang Yunsheng who spoke: "Why did you come, we all arrived before you when we set off!"

Lao Tu was in a good mood, and he didn't care about her, just said it like this, Xiang Yunsheng didn't know him, she said lightly: "Oh, that's it...... Unfortunately, we were invited to dinner. ”

Lao Tu immediately glanced at Bai Xiu, and the curiosity in his heart rushed up, and asked in a loud voice: "What kind of person? Male and female? How old is it? What does it look like? Okay, you are Xiang Yunsheng, you are not afraid of someone being jealous?"

Xiang Yunsheng snorted twice and stopped talking, Xun Fang kindly replied on the side: "It's a young man, he invited several people at night, not to call the two of us alone." ”

"Nothing to do, either a traitor or a thief, be careful!" Lao Tu hung up the phone, thinking about it in his heart, he always felt that it was wrong, and the thief came to Bai Xiu's side and took the preventive shot seriously.

"Young man, Xiang Yunsheng is a face control, since he can agree to eat with him, he must be good-looking, and he has also ordered a meal in the guest house, I'm afraid there will be a lot of money...... Handsome and golden, first-level alarm!"

Bai Xiu said helplessly: "You know what the situation I have with her, don't mix it up here." ”

"Alas, why are you so ignorant!" Lao Tu shook his head again and again, and then said, "That's it, I'll go to find out the wind at dinner, and you can deal with it here at the Celestial Star Society." ”

Don't look at Lao Tu's age, but he likes to fool around very much, Bai Xiu already knew this, so he didn't pay attention to it anymore and went to rest on his own.

Time flies, and when it gets dark, the downstairs gradually becomes lively.

Bai Xiu stood in the corridor and looked down, there were already several tables in the open space in front of the building, and the heads of other branches of the Tianxing Society arrived one after another, and many people were sitting in their seats.

However, these people do not include Xiang Yunsheng and them, and it is estimated that the table over there is placed elsewhere, so as not to conflict between the two groups of people.

Lao Tu didn't know where he went, he was here to wait for the two of them, after all, having their protection could save a lot of trouble.

He didn't wait too long, about three or four minutes later, the two pushed the door out, only to see Bai Xiu, Li Huizhi was a little surprised: "What about Tu Ming?"

Bai Xiu had already thought of the wording: "He met his friends and went to have dinner with them." ”

Zong Youmin said to Li Huizhi with a smile: "Don't look at Xiaotu's age, but he likes to make friends very much, I didn't expect to meet old acquaintances in Tianxinghui." ”

Bai Xiu's thoughts turned, and he became tempting: "It seems that it is not a person from the Heavenly Star Society, it is estimated that it is someone else who is going to enter the mountain." ”

As soon as he said this, the two of them changed their expressions imperceptibly.

As soon as he saw them quietly making eye contact, Bai Xiu knew that things were not so simple, and he pretended to exclaim: "I don't know who they are, they actually have a better background than Mr. Yun." ”

Zong Youmin didn't speak, and Li Huizhi said meaningfully: "Tu Ming's friends are either rich or expensive, of course Mr. Yun can't compare." ”

Bai Xiu threw out a question without a trace: "Did they also go into the mountains to participate in the Spirit Descent Festival?" I thought that only our people from the Celestial Star Society would go. ”

Li Huizhi didn't notice his temptation, and sneered: "Because some people still have a wait-and-see attitude towards the propaganda of the Heavenly Star Society, but they think in their hearts, 'Maybe that's true', these rich and powerful people are all the way ......."

Before Li Huizhi's words were finished, Zong Youmin already glanced at him unhappily, and immediately greeted Bai Xiu with a pleasant face: "The dinner is about to start, let's go down too." ”
