Zhang Wangxiong was taken aback when he suddenly received the news from his subordinates, the "cleaner" surnamed Jiang was sent by him, but Zhang Wangxiong didn't expect that Zhu Shanxian and the others would appear so early.

The relationship between Zhang Wangxiong and Tian Zhongluo is both cooperative and mutual use, and of course it is impossible for them to get to the bottom of each other, but Zhang Wangxiong also has to admire Tian Zhongluo's old and spicy vision in many things, and he is almost true to his word. And this time, Tian Zhongluo said most of the things right, but he misjudged the time.

Zhu Shanxian and the others did get the clues of Jinshan Courtyard from the Gu family, and also found the place of Tiesuo Cliff, but Tian Zhongluo thought that they would come during the Spring Festival holiday, but they appeared a year ago, and the time was the last weekend before the Spring Festival.

Tian Zhongluo has a place called "Strange Rock Realm", which is a magical world unknown to the world, and can enjoy a piece of the country of mountains and rivers outside the world, just like the blessed land of the cave in myths and legends, which is said to have been inherited from the hands of the elders. Zhang Wangxiong also learned that there are other Fangwai worlds in the world and people as lucky as Tian Zhongluo, he is very envious, and he also wants to find and get his own Fangwai world.

He found the clues of Jinshan Academy, and he also found the two magic weapons through Fan Yang. Fan Yang may have regained his taste afterwards, but it was not clear at the time that Zhang Wangxiong's true purpose was not clear. Zhang Wangxiong found the Iron Lock Cliff, and through those two magic weapons, he seemed to be able to sense the existence of another world, but he couldn't enter it.

It's normal to think about it, I think that Zhu Shanxian opened the door of his backyard at the gateway of Xiaojing Lake, but he never entered Xiaojing Lake, and every time he opened the door, he walked to Nanlan Mountain Forest Park.

Zhang Wangxiong's Juemen Wangqi Technique, I'm afraid it can't catch up with Zhu Shanxian at the beginning. Moreover, he didn't get the treasure of controlling the realm, although he found the place of Iron Lock Cliff, but he didn't have the guidance of the "Fangwai Tuzhi" in his hand, it was difficult to determine the exact location of the portal, and it was normal not to see it, let alone enter it.

After Fan Yang disappeared, Zhang Wangxiong finally took out the two antiques to find Tian Zhongluo's "palm eyes", which was also a last resort. In Zhang Wangxiong's opinion, Tian Zhongluo's ability is greater than him, his means are better than him, and he already has a prescription outside the world, so he should have a way to open the Jinshan Academy. If you keep a secret alone but can't solve it, it's better to find someone else to help you share it.

Tian Zhongluo took the two magic weapons to the Iron Lock Cliff, and he told Zhang Wangxiong with certainty that he could sense another world that did not seem to exist, and that the cliff like two giant gates was the gateway to it, and this world should be the legendary Jinshan Temple. But there was no basis for his words, and Tian Zhongluo failed to open the Jinshan Courtyard.

Zhang Wangxiong actually regretted it, he shared his secret, but he didn't achieve his goal, and he didn't go to Tian Zhongluo for help if he knew it. Later, Zhang Wangxiong suffered a loss at the hands of Zhu Shanxian, not only was he beaten and the threshold was demolished, but he also lost a stronghold and a group of very capable subordinates.

Zhu Shanxian did not control Sha Langzheng's gang, but sent them to prison through Lao Gu, which made Zhang Wangxiong a little panicked, he was worried that Zhu Shanxian had also caught some of his handles, and he was also worried that Zhu Shanxian had found clues to Jinshan Academy. Due to the defeat in several battles, Zhang Wangxiong thought that he was not Zhu Shanxian's opponent, and he might lose both sides if he was barely tough, so he wanted to use Tian Zhongluo's strength to clean up Zhu Shanxian.

His careful thinking made Tian Zhongluo see through it in person, and Tian Zhongluo also told him not to startle the snake first, and wait for Zhu Shanxian and others to open the Jinshan Courtyard. Zhang Wangxiong moved his selfishness again, if he could get a way to open the Jinshan Courtyard from Zhu Shanxian, he didn't want to share it with Tian Zhongluo again.

The cleaner was sent by him, and his task was to keep an eye on the Iron Lock Cliff and report anything in time. It's really uncomfortable to work for Zhang Wangxiong, and Xiao Jiang, who is pretending to be a cleaner, can't get by, and he has to stay in this wilderness on a cold day. Zhang Wangxiong didn't think that Zhu Shanxian and the others would go a year ago, and sent someone to keep an eye just in case, anyway, it wasn't him who worked hard.

Zhang Wangxiong has an official status, and of course he also has a serious job, so he can't just leave if he has something to say, and the year before was the busiest time. After receiving Xiao Jiang's news, he felt a little caught off guard, he had to work overtime on Saturday, and he would definitely not be able to leave Xiaojin City during the day, even if he tried to find time to rush to Fangshan District on the outskirts of Beijing, he would have to be noon tomorrow at the earliest.

Zhang Wangxiong was able to use official resources to monitor Zhu Shanxian and others, but the actual situation was not as exaggerated as imagined, on the one hand, because his own authority was insufficient, and on the other hand, it was only private work after all.

Within the province, he can monitor the location of Zhu Shanxian and others' mobile phones, calls, and text messages. If necessary, he can also monitor the registration of tickets or accommodations with an ID card, as well as the passing of designated vehicles at national highway checkpoints and high highway information collection points. But that's all, and out of the province, if you want to monitor this information, you have to make a special application.

Zhu Shanxian and others suddenly appeared under the iron lock cliff, and Zhang Wangxiong did not monitor it in advance, which shows one thing, the other party has been guarding against him for a long time, and has also used anti-investigation and anti-tracking methods. What should I do? Zhang Wangxiong thought about it for a long time, but decided not to notify Tian Zhongluo for the time being, and let Xiao Jiang continue to stare at it.

He told Xiao Jiang that as long as he kept an eye on the whereabouts of Zhu Shanxian and the others from a distance, he didn't get too close, and reported any abnormal situation at any time. What Zhang Wangxiong wants to confirm is whether Zhu Shanxian can open the Jinshan Courtyard?

Xiao Jiang got the instructions of the boss, and did not get close to the iron lock cliff again, found a place to watch from a distance, and quietly found a monocular. That high cliff is unobstructed, if Zhu Shanxian and others are playing rock climbing, he can see it from a long distance.

Zhu Shanxian and the other three stood at the bottom of the cliff and unloaded their equipment, looking up at this high cliff as if looking for a path to climb, Shang Ni muttered with some dissatisfaction: "That one wearing a red hoop is too hateful, we are just here to climb a rock, he still wants to blackmail, he must complain about him when he turns around! Senior Brother Tan is too, why do you give so much money at once, isn't this feeding the appetite of bad people?"

Zhu Shanxian laughed quietly: "You really don't have a place to complain! There is no one in the winter, don't you think it's strange that the security joint defense personnel come here to patrol?"

Tan Hanchuan also smiled: "It turns out that you didn't recognize it, I was still praising you in my heart just now, I acted really well today, there is no flaw at all!"

Shannie suddenly reacted, opened her mouth and said, "Ah, that person turned out to be ......"

Zhu Shanxian gestured: "It's good to know." ”

Shanny lowered her voice and said, "The cleaner ......"

Tan Hanchuan also lowered his voice and said, "What do you say?"

"Hey, aren't you going to climb the rock, what are you thinking about here?" and as they muttered, the security officer came over with a loud shout.

Tan Hanchuan turned around and explained, "We are looking for a suitable path." ”

Joint Defender: "Looking for a path? Do you want to climb up from here with a rope on your back?

Zhu Shanxian: "Why can't it?"

Joint Defender: "Not to mention who is responsible for the fall and death, didn't you say that you would not hit the rock wedge? How could you not hit the rock wedge if you climbed from the bottom to the top? You should first send someone to the top of the cliff and drop the safety rope...... Go downstream, there's a road up the hill. I don't have any experience, so I dare to run here and do nonsense!"

Shang Ni smiled and bowed: "Thank you for the reminder! I really didn't expect that someone else could wear a military coat so handsome!"

Zhuang Mengzhou, who pretended to be a joint defense officer, nodded at Shang Ni with great satisfaction and said: "You have vision! I have to go back and wash my face and rest, you must pay attention to safety, do not damage the rock mass, and take away the things you bring afterwards, clean up the garbage, and there is a cleaner watching over there." ”

After speaking, Zhuang Mengzhou left the river beach under the cliff, and he didn't know where to rest. Zhu Shanxian and Shang Ni stayed in place, Tan Hanchuan took a detour with the rope on his back to the top of the cliff, and after fixing it, he fell the rope.

One end of the safety rope of rock climbing is hung on the waist of the climber, and the other end is lowered through the pulley set fixed to the top of the cliff, and a person stands at the bottom of the cliff to pull it at any time. Shang Ni put on wrist pads, knee pads and climbing gloves, hung up the rope, and climbed to the top of the cliff first, then changed to Tan Hanchuan to slide down, and then changed to Zhu Shan to climb up.

The three of them had a good time, and everyone climbed up to the top of the cliff more than 120 meters high. The tanker group on the top of the cliff can be adjusted, even if Shang Ni's weight is far inferior to Zhu Shanxian and Tan Hanchuan, but standing on the ground can also pull the safety rope. In fact, she doesn't need to pull it, it's just a show.

It looked like they were really here to play rock climbing, but it was a pain for Xiao Jiang, the cleaner who was watching from afar, who had been blowing cold wind on the river beach all day, and his face was frozen.

At about four o'clock in the afternoon, Zhu Shanxian and others put away their equipment and left, they went to the nearby town of Zhangfang, first found a hotel to stay in, and then found a restaurant in the town to eat. And Xiao Jiang has changed out of the cleaner's outfit and has been secretly staring at them until they finish eating and go back to the hotel to rest.

At this time, it was already completely dark, and Xian Hao and Ding Qi came to the Iron Lock Cliff, both of them wearing dark clothes, like shadows sneaking in the night. Xian Hao said: "I have secretly searched the surrounding area, and there are no suspicious people. Senior Brother Zhu and the others also confirmed, there was only one person staring here, and now that person was led to Zhangfang Town. ”

Ding Qi frowned and said: "Sure enough, someone is staring here, it seems that Zhang Wangxiong is also looking for the Beast Country, and he has found a place, so we have to be careful." ”

Xian Hao: "Senior Brother Tan has already come, he is staring at it, Mr. Zhuang is paying attention to the movement under the cliff in the community across the river, let's see if we can go in first." ”

With the skills of the two of them, they didn't need ropes, but for the sake of safety, they still hung a rope down. The place where the rope was hung was very hidden, not on the top of the cliff, but on the side of the rock crevice, even if it was close. There is a dark crack in the Iron Lock Cliff that runs through the entire rock mass, which was formed by the erosion of water since ancient times, and when it rains, the water from the mountain will flow down this rock gap into the Juma River.

The reason why this crevice is so dark is that there is a lot of moss growing on the surface of the rock, and from a distance, it looks like the crack between two huge door panels. The location of the gateway to the Kingdom of Beasts is marked on the Atlas of the Outer Circle, which is about sixty meters above the ground according to the scale.

Ding Qi and Xian Hao climbed down the crevice to a height of about 60 meters, and the mountain in the crevice caved inward, forming a small natural platform to settle on. Ding Qi took out the beast talisman and said, "It should be here!"

Xian Hao: "How do you open the door?"

Tincey: "I sensed the portal, but it seems to be missing. ”

Xian Hao: "According to legend, it takes twelve brothers to work together, and we don't seem to have enough people. ”

Ding Qi: "The legend may not be completely accurate, there is another theory, it is on the night of the full moon. ”

Xian Hao: "Today is the twenty-first day of the lunar month, the day is not right, do you have to wait for the fifteenth day of the first month?"

Dingqi: "Let's wait until the moonlight comes in." ”

Today is a sunny day, and there is a waning moon in the sky. The two waited here for more than half an hour, and as the moon shadow shifted, a ray of moonlight finally shone on their foothold through the rock crevices on the cliff, and Ding Qi suddenly said, "There is!"

He held up the beast talisman in the moonlight and pressed it against the cliff wall, and the beast talisman actually turned into a pair of door knockers, as if he could open the cliff with a pull of this pair of door knockers. Xian Hao asked again: "How did you bring Xiao Meng and them into the high platform last time?" ”

"Actually, I hypnotized them, revealing in their subconscious what I saw," Tincchi explains. ”

Xian Hao: "Then you can do the same to me." ”

Dingzi: "Then you have to trust me completely." ”

Xian Hao in the moonlight smiled: "I have never distrusted you, and you have to trust me completely." ”

Ding Qi sighed: "It's not that I don't trust you!"

In the world at night, the snow is flying, and the moon shines on the snowfield, and the clear light is reflected in the silver. A white steed walked on the snowfield, its eyes were a little confused, it didn't seem to know who it was and why it was in this place, but it came here inexplicably, and it was a horse.

The horse was extremely majestic and beautiful, pure white without a trace of variegation, and had a silver horn on its forehead, with a slight curvature like a half-cut moon bud. In the vast snowfield, the white horse did not walk very fast, it seemed to be looking for something, but it did not know what it was looking for.

The snowflakes fell on him, and the white horse shook its long mane, which was not afraid of the cold, but it was not very comfortable, so it trotted again. Not far from the white horse, an egret dances on the snowfield, combing its feathers with its long beak and then spreading its wings to fly in the night, as if looking for something.

In the moonlight, the snowfield, whether it is a white horse or an egret, seems to have disappeared, so they do not see each other. The white horse with the horn ran for an unknown amount of time, and as the sky grew brighter, the snow stopped, and it stopped by a river.

It's supposed to be winter, but the snow in this wilderness is strange, bounded by this river, but there is no snow on the other side, and you can see the withered yellow meadows, rolling hills, and deciduous trees dotted with a hint of evergreen. There is some broken ice in the shallow bay of the river, but the surface of the river is not completely frozen, and the sound of flowing water is like music.

The white horse saw his own shadow by a still water bay, and tilted his head to look left and right, as if he was a little puzzled, perhaps not understanding why the horn was growing on his head, or why he was like this?

In the water stood an egret with a pair of long legs half exposed, as if it was catching fish, and it seemed to be roaming around. This egret has a snow-white body, a bright red beak, beautiful crown feathers and chest feathers, and one person is taller, and its body is larger than that of a crane. Horses should have no knowledge of zoology, but when the white horse saw each other, he inexplicably recognized it as an egret.

There seems to be some kind of spiritual connection between the white horse and the white heron, and when the white horse sees the white heron, the egret also senses it, turns its head to look over and makes a chirp. The chirp fell in Bai Ma's ears, but in his mind, it seemed to turn into another person's voice: "Who are you?"

The white horse snorted, as if suddenly awakened from a dream, and raised his head and shouted, "Xian Hao, is it you?" but when its voice came out, it was only a horse neighing.
