Chapter 344: A Sudden Strangeness
Handing them the two drinks that had been prepared a long time ago, Cheng Lin briefly said his intention.
And the two on the other side were not surprised at all.
This time is different from the past, and no projection has been found in the rest of the region, and Shudu has naturally become the focus of the whole country.
Not only Cheng Lin rushed over, I believe that openly and secretly, the number of cultivators who came here from the country is probably extremely staggering.
"I haven't been here before, and I'm not familiar with the local area, so I just remembered that you were here, and I took the liberty to ask you out for a meal, and I also wanted to know about the current situation here." Cheng Lin asked with a smile.
After speaking, he looked at Gu Cheng and Jiang Ye.
The table was close to the window, the store was noisy, and the customers were almost all discussing topics about projections, Tris, cultivators, etc., Rao kept his voice down, and had already checked with his "hazy eye" before the two arrived, and there were no monks nearby.
The pair glanced at each other, still opened by Jiang Ye, probably to facilitate movement, she was wearing a pair of light blue jeans, a simple white shirt on the upper body, and two buttons unbuttoned at the neckline.
He was wearing a white bracelet on his left wrist, which showed the time of the imperial capital, and his hair was tied back on his head, looking quite capable, "The situation here?" What do you mean...... The government is still ......"
"I'd like to hear it if I could." Cheng Lin picked up the cup and said.
"Of course you can, we don't know much about the situation, generally speaking, from yesterday's discovery of Cheng's predecessor's image, to the present ......"
Eba began the narration.
Her voice was very low, but she happened to be able to stay within the range of this dining table, her tone was not hurried, and her narration was quite organized, while Gu Cheng was quietly observing the surroundings on the side, as if she was very tacitly cooperative.
From Jiang Yekou, Cheng Lin also successfully learned a lot of information.
There are things he already knows, for example, the local Terry Division, the thirteenth number nationwide, is the so-called Shudu Thirteen Divisions, although the number is low, but the strength should not be underestimated, the head of the Thirteen Divisions is also a five-grade level, and there are many elites under it, and the same as the Nine Divisions, the Thirteen Divisions also control a spiritual land of their own, and the capital is abundant.
However, it is worth mentioning that the Thirteenth Division lacks experience in exploring projection.
In the previous six projections, except for the "Traceless Immortal Island" that was jointly explored, the rest of the projections had never been done by the Thirteen Divisions.
When the "Ruins" projection appeared, the Thirteen Divisions had not yet been officially established, and the first projection was true and there was nothing to explore.
In the subsequent projection, none of them appeared in the area under the control of the Thirteen Divisions.
This made the entire department wonder if their luck was particularly bad.
Except for the time when I ran thousands of miles to the beach to rub it once, I never explored the projection again.
It is rumored that the head of the thirteen divisions once sighed in the office, half seriously and half jokingly begging God to say that he wanted a projection.
Outcome......
No one expected that the prayer would be fulfilled, and that this time, as if to make amends for them, would come so hugely.
"Now the entire Thirteenth Division is busy, and I have no experience, and this projection area is huge...... In short, the government is in a state of chaos. ”
Jiang Ye concluded, paused, and saw Cheng Lin, who was sitting opposite, nodding, before she said again: "As for the folk casual cultivation...... I've heard some rumors today, and everyone seems to be on the verge of moving. ”
"Oh? What wind? Cheng Lin pricked up his ears.
"There are some rumors in the local folk cultivation in Shudu, claiming that there are rare treasures in this projection, and there are a large number of spirit plants and spirit beasts, in short, it probably means to promote the benefits of projection and stir people's hearts." Jiang Ye explained.
"Such rumors are not abnormal, they are circulated in front of almost every projection." Cheng Lin said tentatively.
Similar rumors are not to mention casual cultivation, even if it is very marketable within Trisi, but facts have repeatedly proved that although there are treasures in the projection, they are far less than as people advertise.
This reminded him of the Western Gold Rush in the history of the Federation, as well as the geographical migration of the Xia Kingdom in the early decades, and other such events.
Describing the unknown as "gold everywhere" is a very mature routine, covering all the history and corners of the country.
And humans are fooled every time.
"This time is different," Jiang Ye frowned and thought for a moment, as if he was wording, "According to the information we have learned, this rumor seems to have come from the local scattered cultivation organization, and there is a faint force pushing it, just like ...... Someone is inciting it, hoping that everyone will enter the exploration. ”
"Oh?"
Cheng Lin became a little more serious now.
Is there anyone behind it?
Who is it?
It's definitely not a certain person, but a certain force, inciting folk cultivators to break into the projection, no matter how you look at it, the most headache should be the government, logically inferred, this matter faintly seems to be aimed at Terris.
It's like ...... There is a hand churning the muddy waters.
"Who is it? Could it be that some Black-like organization is doing something in there? ”
Cheng Lin guessed in his heart, pretended to be calm on his face, picked up a piece of beef with chopsticks, and asked, "When you say about the local scattered cultivation organization, you mean ......?"
"It should be some small illegal organization in the local area, which is completely online, and the specific identity is not known, but it is said that it ...... It seems to be a rich businessman's power, of course, this is just a rumor. Jiang Ye explained seriously.
Cheng Lin nodded.
Local small organizations are not a rare thing, almost everywhere, hidden, generally speaking, due to the small scale and secret action, it is difficult to crack down, and there are some with special backgrounds, and they also turn a blind eye, Cheng Lin talked about this with Feng Qi last time in the magic capital.
After asking a few more questions, Jiang Ye almost answered everything, but she could still say some shallow information, and if it was a little deeper, she couldn't help.
After all, she's just a friar who hides in the shadows.
In principle, belong to the object of the blow.
After understanding this, Cheng Lin probably had an understanding of the situation in this area, and his heart was a lot more stable, and he was about to pull them to talk about the topic of exploration, when suddenly, Cheng Lin's demeanor changed!
The Taoist priest sitting opposite him only saw Cheng Lin, who was smiling and listening, as if he had pressed the pause button, his hand holding the chopsticks froze in the air, and his stretched brows were also condensed together!
What happened?
The alert two subconsciously tensed, Jiang Ye clasped Gu Cheng's wrist with his right hand, and Gu Cheng's hanging hand also reached into his pocket and clawed a handful of marbles.
Quiet!
At the table by the window of this ordinary barbecue restaurant, the atmosphere was extremely oppressive for a moment.
"What's wrong?"
Jiang Ye looked around, but he didn't find the source of the danger, he was silent for two seconds, and finally couldn't help but ask softly.
"Ah...... It's nothing, it's just that I suddenly remembered something, sorry, I'm going to go out, the meal has been paid, you can continue to eat, if it goes well, I may be back in a while, eh...... If I don't come back within five minutes, you can leave and get back in touch later. ”
Cheng Lin recovered from the "solidification" and said at a slightly faster pace.
With that, he stood up, smiled apologetically at the two of them, then turned around and walked away quickly.
Leaving this pair of Taoist couples looking at each other.
