Chapter 25: The Key to the Ancient Mountain
In the dark grid, a triangular prismatic object with a simple shape lies quietly in it, and the material is not visible at a glance.
Seeing Zhuge Xi's gaffe for the first time, Zhang Liang couldn't help but ask, "Lord Vice-Tu, what the hell is this?" ”
The Fog Hunting Division also saw the clouds and fog up and down, and none of them recognized what this thing was, and they all stared at Zhuge Xi curiously, waiting for an answer.
Zhuge Xi looked at the thing again and again, and his expression was unprecedentedly solemn: "If the classics I read at Grandma Tuzheng are correct, there is a chance that this is the key to the ancient mountain!" ”
Ancient mountain key. As soon as the three words came out, the expressions of a group of people changed suddenly.
Zhang Liang's heart contracted suddenly, his eyes opened like a copper bell to look at the triangular prism-shaped object, and he couldn't say a word for a long time. He had seen in the collection of scriptures that the so-called ancient mountain key was the key to the ruins of the sea and mountain that no one had ever entered. Legend has it that the founder of the Seamount Critic used the ancient mountain key that he accidentally obtained to open the dusty seamount ruins, and only then did he understand the other side of this world.
In fact, in ancient times, each mountain system was composed of dozens of mountains connected together, along with nearby hills and plains. To this day, the so-called division of the mountain system is also named after the records found in the ruins, but the composition of the mountains is pitiful. For example, the fourth mountain, since the ancient mountain key obtained six hundred years ago opened the inner boundary of the Keo Mountain, the fourth mountain has only six mountains in total.
It is unknown which mountain system will be opened by this ancient mountain key that appears now, what kind of sea and mountain people will look like inside, and what unknown ruins and materials will be obtained. But even if it is an unknown ancient mountain key, it is indeed worth so many people to rob like crazy.
Just because, whoever uses the ancient mountain key to open the dusty inner realm for the first time is the master of this inner realm!
Several people looked at each other, all of them shocked. This kind of treasure, which almost only exists in the classics, lies quietly in front of everyone, and everyone feels a little trance.
"Why did the old cat hide such an important thing when he got it, instead of handing it over to the headquarters in a hurry!?" Zhang Mo's voice trembled uncontrollably, "What kind of heart does he have?" ”
"The Tianqian Returning Yuan Array is not something he can arrange." Zhuge Xi said quietly, "It seems that there are too many hidden secrets that we don't know. ”
Zhao Mingyang's expression changed, he wanted to speak again and again, and finally lowered his head. He still felt in his heart that the bold Si Zheng who got along with him day and night would not be a bad guy with a black belly.
"Don't talk about anything else, this thing will be handed over to the mountain chief immediately, and he will decide." Zhang Liang looked at the ancient mountain key and said in a deep voice.
Everyone nodded yes, and no one dared to put this kind of treasure in the station anymore.
Zhang Liang gritted his teeth secretly, stretched out his right hand and grabbed the ancient mountain key in the secret grid, and prepared to hand it to Zhang Mo: "Director Zhang, without further ado, I still bother you to quickly bring the ancient mountain key back to Luhoi Mountain." ”
As one of the two divisions of the cloud and mist department directly under the Jade Golden Palace, the loyalty and trust of the director of the Fog Seeking Division are far more reliable than that of him, who has been in the mountain for half a year. Zhang Liang knew this truth, so he naturally handed over the key to the ancient mountain to Zhang Mo.
Zhang Mo nodded solemnly, ready to reach out and take it. The mutation happened suddenly.
The triangular prism-shaped ancient mountain key suddenly emitted a misty glow, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into powder like star crumbs, and merged into Zhang Liang's arm.
Zhang Liang was taken aback by this sudden situation, and by the time he reacted, the ancient mountain key had already disappeared. Everyone was dumbfounded, and even the well-informed Zhuge Xi didn't know what was going on.
Zhang Liang's face changed greatly, and he hurriedly rolled up his sleeves to take a closer look, but he didn't find the slightest abnormality.
"This ............"
Zhang Mo's eyes, whose hand was halfway outstretched, suddenly showed a little suspicion, and asked Zhang Liang, "Lord Si Zheng, what did you just do?" ”
Zhang Liang looked at Director Zhang's slightly cold eyes, and explained with a wry smile: "I didn't do anything!" I don't know how it just disappeared. ”
The atmosphere suddenly became awkward.
No one can accept a peerless treasure that will not be born in the blink of an eye. Zhang Mo stared at Zhang Liang tightly, and the strange situation of the crumbs fused into the other party's body just now couldn't help but make him think. Director Zhang's eyes opened and closed, and he said in a deep voice to Zhang Liang: "With this change, I have to take Lord Si Zheng back to Luhoi Mountain to listen to what the mountain elder says." ”
Zhang Liang nodded, he understood the other party's responsibilities, and with a long sigh, he was ready to return to the headquarters with Zhang Mo.
Zhuge Xi, who was silent on the side, suddenly said: "No." ”
Zhang Mo turned his head suddenly, his eyes were sharp, and his words were burning: "Why? ”
Zhuge Xi did not shy away from Director Zhang's awe-inspiring momentum, and said lightly: "Zhang Liang is the person who entered the WTO, and he was ordered to enter the WTO. Director Zhang is in the Fog Hunting Division, so he doesn't have this power. ”
Zhang Liang looked at Zhuge Xi in surprise, he really couldn't think of why Lord Vice-Tu would stop him.
Zhang Mo's face turned completely cold, and he said coldly: "Does Lord Vice-Tu know what you're doing?" ”
Zhuge Xi's beautiful face suddenly bloomed with a bright smile, and he didn't take Zhang Mo's attitude seriously, and said vividly: "Of course I know!" First, the Fog Hunting Division is only responsible for searching and investigating, and forcibly abducting people back to the mountain belongs to the Cloud Hunting Division. Second, Director Zhang, as the director of the 13th National Commission, you don't have the power to disobey my will to join the WTO. ”
Everyone was confused by Zhuge Xi's attitude, and no one knew why Lord Vice-Tu suddenly didn't know the severity and forcibly put up a shelf. Zhu Linhou glanced at each other, at a loss.
"That ......" Zhang Liang touched his nose and said cautiously, "Actually, it's nothing for me to go back to the mountain with them......"
"Shut up!" Zhuge Xiqiao's face was slightly cold, and he shouted coldly.
Zhang Liang was dumbfounded, and there was nothing he could do with a wry smile. This eldest lady is always so unexpected, but no one can control her.
Zhang Mo laughed angrily when he heard this: "Zhuge Xi Vice Tour, if you usually play with the temper of the eldest lady, we will let you do it." I don't know what happened in this matter, but what kind of punishment the mountain chief will have afterwards, don't let me inform you before I am fine. ”
"Then I'd love to." Zhuge Xi seemed to have completely lost his usual intelligence, and said with a smile: "Anyway, you don't want to take Zhang Liang away today." ”
After hearing this, Zhang Mo looked at Zhuge Xi coldly, as if he had never known her. Seeing the director's statement, Zhu Linhou and the four had no choice but to grit their teeth and stand behind Zhang Mo and confront Zhuge Xi from afar. Zhao Mingyang, who had just recovered from his serious injury, was silent and silently protected Zhuge Xi.
The people who were still close to each other a few minutes ago were divided into two groups in the blink of an eye.
Zhang Liang stood in the middle of the big head, he really couldn't understand why Zhuge Xi was so opposed to his return to the mountain.
Zhang Mo looked at Zhuge Xi for a long time, but in the end, he snorted coldly and prepared to leave with all his subordinates. His loyalty to the Haishan system did not allow him to force his hand after all.
"Wait." When Zhuge Xi saw that everyone was turning their heads and wanted to go, he shouted again.
Zhang Mo turned his head suspiciously when he heard this.
"The Escape Ring will be returned to you." Zhuge Xi took it off with his hand and threw it over.
Seeing this, Zhang Liang sighed again, took off his own, and walked over to hand it to Zhang Mo. Zhang Mo silently put away the escape ring, and then left the station with four subordinates.
"I said, Lord Vice-Tu, what kind of trouble are you making here, can you explain it?" After Zhang Liang saw that all the people in the Fog Hunting Division had left, he helplessly asked his female boss, "I feel that I am really going to be pitted by you this time." ”
Zhuge Xi smiled, but his expression was a little lonely: "Someone just informed me, don't let you go back to the mountain." ”
"Who?" Zhang Liang was surprised when he heard this.
"Me."
Zhang Liang and Zhao Mingyang turned their heads to look, and the figure of Yuan Mingqing gradually appeared from the void.
"You?" Zhao Mingyang was surprised, "Your butt was still swollen three feet high when I left, how could you move again!" ”
Yuan Mingqing's old face turned red, and he said embarrassedly: "That's a little trick played by Shizun and me, so that I can sneak out of the mountain again without everyone knowing." ”
Zhang Liangyan's doubts deepened when he heard this: "Why is this? ”
"It's the same reason I didn't let you go back to the mountain." Yuan Mingqing's eyes were calm, and his words were not shocking.
"On Luhoi Mountain, there are ghosts."
