For the secret realm, since Kunshi City, Yun Province, Zhou Hao has tried to understand it from various channels, but it is still in vain.

Especially when he heard about the opening of the secret realm in the abandoned factory in the East China Sea, Zhou Hao was even more thoughtful, and it can be said that he used all his strength, and he couldn't learn any information about the secret realm.

He has asked Huang Chen to investigate through various channels, and even asked Yang Xiannian and others in person, and even contacted Fan Lao, but no matter how Zhou Hao knocks on the side and asks, as of now, except for the conjectures of those authors on the Internet, there is no information about the secret realm.

But now, Xiao Shihui suddenly visited and took the initiative to mention what he had seen and heard about the secret realm.

This matter, whether it is Xiao Lao's intentional arrangement or Xiao Shihui's personal wishes, is tantamount to a timely rain for Zhou Hao.

"The so-called secret realm is the meaning of the secret realm. ”

After selling a pass, looking at Zhou Hao's expectant expression in front of him, Xiao Shihui's voice was lowered, and he said: "In this world, there are many things that we don't know and don't understand, and even with existing high-tech means, they can't explain it. yes, Zhou Shao. ”

Zhou Hao couldn't help but squint his eyes and raised his eyebrows, this Xiao Shihui said two nonsense words in a row, what did he mean? But he still didn't interrupt and gave the other party a positive look.

"Ghost ships at sea, Bermuda Delta, Easter Island, Desert Reaper Army, Tien Shan True Dragon, and more...... I think that the unsolved mysteries that often appear on the Internet must have been heard by Zhou Shao. ”

For these, Zhou Hao naturally knew that he had bought a few books of this kind for this purpose and kept them at home.

"Could it be that these unsolved mysteries have something to do with the secret realm?"

"Some of these are true, some are false, and there are many of them, and they are even more false. But what I'm going to tell you now, even in our cultivation world, is a secret that many monks don't understand. ”

After raising a glass and taking a sip, Xiao Shihui said yearningly: "Xu Fu's trip to the East China Sea is to find the Penglai Immortal Island to seek the elixir for Qin Shi Huang, but in fact, it is me who has entered the secret realm." Zheng He went to the West for the sake of the secret realm......"

"Uh......"

From Xiao Shihui's mouth, many stories familiar to Chinese people were poured out, but they didn't expect that their real purpose was actually for that secret realm?

"There are big and small secret realms, and it is said that the secret realm that is about to be opened this time is located near the East China Sea of Rong City. ”

was made such a big detour by Xiao Shihui, but he only said such a sentence, Zhou Hao couldn't help but be stunned.

"That's it?"

"Of course not, in Huaxia, the last time the secret realm was opened was in the thirties of the last century. It is located in the Changbai Mountains in the northeast. ”

"Changbai Mountains?Northeast?"

Looking at Zhou Hao, Xiao Shihui nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "I guess you should have thought of something." When the secret realm is opened, there must be a large number of monks pouring in to find opportunities, if those monks don't enter, my Huaxia land will not be full of devastation, right? ”

Zhou Hao nodded, thinking that this is indeed the case, after all, there are many talented people in the cultivation world, where can the devils of the Little Japanese Kingdom jump off the beam?

Not to mention hundreds of Xuan cultivators and martial artists, maybe it only takes one Three Realms Grandmaster to destroy the armored division and infantry regiment of Xiaori Kingdom in one fell swoop, and save the people of a city.

But Zhou Hao had never heard of such a thing happening.

"I don't know exactly why, and Abba hasn't mentioned it to me, but then again. There were as many as a thousand monks who entered the secret realm back then, and each of them was a realm above the second realm. Each of them was also the leader of all sects and families in the cultivation world at that time. Ay...... It's a pity that until the founding of the country, less than fifty people came out. ”

"A five-percent survival rate, and among these people, are there three realm cultivators?"

"Hehe, not to mention the Three Realms, it is said that there is a strong man in the Four Realms. But until it was confirmed that the secret realm was closed, that great power still did not appear. ”

Looking at Zhou Hao's expression at this time, Xiao Shihui thought about his reaction when he first heard the news. It's also such a look of consternation.

"This, that's what I want to tell you, about the last secret realm, the people who came out forgot the specific situation inside, however, many of the monks who entered the second realm, and most of them came out to directly achieve the dignity of the three realms, and in addition, everyone got a lot of treasures more or less. ”

"And from the position, reaction, and degree of injury of those senior monks after they appeared, it can be inferred that they should have experienced a great secret realm, a true great secret realm with countless dangers. ”

"Really Great Secret Realm?"

"Yes, there are many kinds of secret realms, big secret realms, small secret realms, real secret realms, and fake secret realms. Remember what I said earlier about unsolved mysteries, such as the Ghost Ship, which is the entrance to a secret realm, and it is said that inside is a world that resembles a netherworld. There's a big secret realm over there. ”

Zhou Hao sorted it out and asked: "The big secret realm, the small secret realm, does it mean the size of the scope? As for the real secret realm, the false secret realm, what can get things is the real secret realm, and what can't be obtained is the fake secret realm, is this understanding?"

Xiao Shihui was a little surprised, but thinking about Zhou Hao's identity, he added with relief: "It can be understood in this way, although there are some discrepancies. Let's put it this way, the Great Secret Realm is the kind of secret realm that is almost a complete world, and the small secret realm is said to be as small as an island. The real secret realm is a secret realm that helps monks improve their cultivation strength, such as the battlefield secret realm, which is said to be a battlefield where ancient monks fought each other, and there are magic weapons and martial arts books all over the place. Fake Secret Realm...... You're right, it's just that there's nothing, and once you're in, it's like a tour. It's just a waste of time. ”

"It's a really big secret realm, a fake small secret realm, hehe, it's a bit interesting. ”

"It's interesting, but, according to the records, the bigger the secret realm, the greater the danger, among the four secret realms, the true great secret realm is naturally the dream of all monks, but since ancient times, among the more than 600 secret realms recorded, do you know how many are true secret realms?"

"Huh?"

"Less than a hundred. And the real Great Secret Realm is less than thirty. ”

Zhou Hao changed his posture and sat down: "Hehe, since it is not a real secret realm, then there is no danger, just take it as a tour." ”

Xiao Shihui laughed: "Zhou Shao is wrong, even if it is a fake little secret realm, the survival rate is still less than 20%. ”

Zhou Hao, who originally thought that his guess was right, suddenly stiffened at this time, and looked at Zhou Hao in disbelief.

"In the secret realm is another world, in order to compete for the opportunity, the fight between the monks is inevitable, this will lose some people, it can be said that the monks and each other, itself is a chance, after all, killing people and grabbing treasures is the best way to make a fortune. In addition, all kinds of difficulties and dangers in the secret realm, demons and monsters, and exotic flowers and plants will also kill many people, not to mention the various backhands left by those ancient powers in order to test the younger generations. These can be found even in fake secret realms. ”

"To put it simply, the secret realm is usually a separate world, and it's dangerous. ”

"How did the secret realm come about? Secretary Xiao, do you know what?"

Xiao Shihui shook his head: "Perhaps, no one in this world has ever been clear. ”

"Then how can you be sure that this time the secret realm will appear in the East China Sea not far from Rong City, in addition, the specific opening time, and the type of secret realm, do you know?"

"Hehe, the opening time is within these three months. It could be just a few days, or it could be three months from now. And this time I came to you, just to tell you about it. ”

Without answering Zhou Hao's other two questions, Xiao Shihui said bluntly: "Father hopes that you can enter the secret realm this time. ”

Zhou Hao, who was mentally prepared, was also stunned by this sentence.

After a long time, he asked a little tentatively: "How to enter." ”

"Each castle guard can recommend one person to enter. ”

"Ahh

Xiao Shihui's words once again suppressed Zhou Hao. Although there are risks in the secret realm, compared to the calamity of the second realm, it is better to enter the secret realm to gain a glimmer of life! It can be said that it is a great opportunity for every monk.

"This ...... Xiao Lao's gift is a bit big!"

Xiao Shihui took out a bell the size of a grape from his arms, and the silver bell was covered with patterns.

"This is a token of entering the secret realm this time. When the secret realm is opened, the Xuanwu of Jianghai Province gathers, and you can enter directly with this bell when the time comes. ”

After speaking, Xiao Shihui, who was relieved, breathed a sigh of relief, handed the bell to Zhou Hao, and raised the wine on the table to drink it in one gulp.

"Secretary Xiao, has Xiao Lao ever entered the secret realm?"

Xiao Shihui shook his head and did not speak.

By the time Xiao Shihui left, it was almost dawn, and looking at the small bell in his hand, Zhou Hao thought a lot.

"Three months, it seems, it's time to get ready. ”

I don't know why Xiao Bingsheng's old guy recommended him to enter the secret realm to seek opportunities, but Zhou Hao knew that this time, he owed Xiao Bingsheng a natural favor.

"Even if there are ten golden armor talismans, it is not enough for one secret realm. ”

The secret realm can be described as a once-in-a-century encounter, even if I don't know whether the secret realm opened every time is big or small, true or false, but it is still worth a fight for every sect family, and Zhou Hao also learned from Xiao Shihui's words. There is a limit to the number of people who can enter the secret realm, which is different every time, and is often something similar to a portal, as long as the number of people entering reaches a certain level, it will disappear.

Even if the people behind have tokens, it won't help, so the higher the people in front, the greater the chance of entering, and there are many variables about whether they can enter or not.

For this variable, the major forces competed and showed their powers, and therefore, the secret realm once every hundred years has also become a muscle show for the major forces to show their strength.

"Hehe, no matter how big the sect and the family are, can they be bigger than the semi-official Xuanwu?"

Put the bell away, pay and leave the restaurant. Leaning on the railing to overlook the Wulong River at dawn. Enjoy the first rays of the morning sun.

"Who will be the second one to see?"

The city is gradually noisy and lively, and the city is gradually waking up to usher in a new day.

Walking out of the single apartment, Zhou Hao ushered in the first day of his career in Rong City.

Facing the morning sun, he appeared in the branch located next to the bus station in Rongshi.

Compared with the headquarters of Qingshi, the office environment of the branch can only be regarded as average, and the office area of more than 400 square meters seems empty.

"It's so early, Director Zhou. ”

Zhou Hao, who had already jumped to the supervisor, looked at his colleague who was three years older than him on the side, smiled, and also said hello.

The usual morning meeting deepened the understanding between each other, and found a place to sit down Zhou Hao, who was suddenly stopped by a front desk colleague who walked to his side.

"Manager, someone is looking for you. ”

In the Rongshi branch, there is no department manager, and the old supervisor has also resigned, although he is only a supervisor, but Zhou Hao, who is the top leader of the real branch, is no different from the branch manager in the eyes of everyone.

Zhou Hao, who had just turned on his laptop and was about to look for information, glanced at the beautiful woman at the front desk, got up and walked to the hospitality area.

When I saw the person sitting opposite, I was surprised.

"Why, doesn't Manager Zhou know me?"

Sitting opposite was naturally Lin Ruo, a headhunter he had met by chance at the resort before. At this time, he was wearing a white professional skirt and light makeup, which looked extremely professional.

"You know me?"

Zhou Haoke remembered that he was wearing a mask at the time and did not say who he was. He didn't reveal a message symbolizing his identity to the other party. How did this Lin Ruo know himself. And also directly to the company?

"What, is it a surprise?" Lin Ruoluo looked at Zhou Hao generously.

Zhou Hao didn't answer, pretending to be deaf and dumb and sitting on the sofa, looking away: "Are you here to handle business?"

Lin Ruo didn't hesitate, and replied with a smile: "Yes!"

"Let's just say what you need. "Even if Zhou Hao's imagination is rich, he can't imagine that the second time he comes to see him will be Lin Ruo, who is only one side of the relationship and is not an acquaintance!

The appearance of Xiao Shihui in the early morning had already surprised Zhou Hao, and now, seeing Lin Ruo, Zhou Hao couldn't tell what he was feeling like.

"How about having a meal together at noon?"

Until the contract was signed and the payment was made, Zhou Hao's face was still a little reluctant to believe that the Lin Ruo in front of him was really here to cooperate!

didn't pay attention to the stunned colleagues on the side, and said in a low voice: "Hehe, I'm curious, Manager Lin." How did you know about me?"

Lin Ruo smiled slyly and stuck out his tongue: "Don't forget, I'm a headhunter, and it's not difficult to find someone." Not to mention...... Business elites like you. ”

The voice fell on the word 'elite', and there were obviously other meanings in it, however, Zhou Hao did not delve into it, and was a little surprised, this was the second time the two met.

Dine?

I don't feel a lot of discomfort.

As if capturing Zhou Hao's thoughts, Lin Ruo said: "How can we say that we are also partners now, why, is it because the amount of cooperation is too small and unwilling?"

Zhou Hao, who really didn't know how to refuse, coughed, thought about it, and replied casually: "Okay, let's have a meal together at noon." ”

In the southeast of Rong City, in a riverside villa at the mouth of the Wulong River, Wei Shanwen, who was tired, pinched the bridge of his nose and looked at the tablet in front of him, as if he was going to pierce the tablet in his hand.

"Chairman. It's time for you to take your medicine. ”

On the side, a young male secretary stood still, looking at Wei Shanwen, who had black hair covered with silver threads and a haggard expression.

After the young man opened his mouth three times, Wei Shanwen, who was slightly blessed, gently put down the tablet in his hand and looked at the young man without a trace of doubt, a trace of surprise, and a trace of puzzlement.

"Xiao He, are you sure this information is correct?"

The young man bowed slightly, and replied affirmatively, "There will be no mistake. ”

"From December last year to now, it has only been four months, how can this be!"

"I have also investigated this, that Zhou Hao, there is no foundation in Qingshi, and even, the family is a little shabby, but whether it is the president of the Chamber of Commerce in Qingshi or the three major snakes, now he is the only one, what I don't understand is where he came from such a huge amount of funds to establish the Haotang Group. The most incredible thing is that the company started to make a profit as soon as it was founded. ”

Wei Shanwen coughed a few times, looked at the tablet on the table, and took a few sips of coffee on the side.

"The most unbelievable thing is that this kid actually became Secretary Xiao's guest. It is said that he has a good relationship with the Xiao family, and as for his calligraphy and painting skills, it is said that even those professors in the university are full of praise. It's ......."

The young man surnamed He no longer knew what words to use to describe Zhou Hao's demonic level. Finally, after some consideration, he said: "How to describe it, it can only be said to be almost omnipotent!"

"Almighty, hehe, this kid is originally an all-rounder, and dare to think and dare to do, back then in Rong City, without power and power, Leng was suppressed by Bai Long'er, and divided half of Rong City. If you can spend your mind on the journey, you will not be a generation of leaders. ”

"I have also investigated, and this return to Rong City is indeed the appointment of Matt Network. ”

Blinking his mouth, Wei Shanwen sighed: "Does Shuang'er know over there?"

"Miss's side doesn't know yet. ”

"Don't tell him yet, besides, find out who dealt with Zhou Hao last night? And the masked man who helped the spirit of the situation. ”

The young man surnamed He shook his head and said, "No, they are still under investigation." ”

Coughing violently a few times, Wei Shanwen, whose face was suddenly flushed, showed pain, after spreading his hand, he looked at the blood stains in his palm, clenched his fists very carefully, and then endured the discomfort and said, "Okay, you go out first, I'll prepare." ”

The young man bowed, nodded and said, "Mr. Wei, your illness ......"

"Get out of the way, let's go out first. ”

Knocking on the table with his hands in disorder, Wei Shanwen, who had a depressed face, coughed violently again, and the coughing sound that made people palpitate made the young man outside the door sigh again and again.

"Uncle Wei's illness...... It's getting worse. ”
