After saying goodbye to his uncle, Wang Fan turned around and took Zhen'er to a nearby Internet café. Now that the issue of travel costs has been solved, he needs to start gathering intelligence.

The Internet café is on the second floor of a three-story building, the first floor is a snack bar selling tea and breakfast, and the third floor is a homestay. After two years of studying at the nearby Jinliu Junior High School, Wang Fan only came to this Internet café a handful of times, and almost all of them came to the Internet to check some information of interest.

Wang Fan's upright and playful age also yearns for the happiness of playing games online, but it costs money to come to the Internet café to spend, and the money in Wang Fan's pocket is only enough to maintain basic daily life.

It's cool to enter the air-conditioned Internet café from the hot outside, and it's about 11 a.m., and there are only a few players in the café.

Wang Fan got the computer card and sat in front of a computer, and he tried to check the information he needed within an hour. While waiting for the computer to turn on, he pulled over to the chair next to him and asked Jen'er to sit next to him and experience the magical online world.

Zhen'er watched Wang Fan's every move silently, this peer was her only reliance and protector in this world, and he had repeatedly warned her to remain silent in the presence of others, otherwise she would invite trouble or even kill.

Wang Fan quickly and skillfully searches for the information he needs, he is very confident in his memory, and he will remember the important information after reading it more than once.

Wang Fan was staring intently at the computer screen when he was suddenly interrupted by an exclamation from behind him.

"Isn't this Wang Fan? How did you kid end up here? The tone was full of surprise, as if he had met a long-lost friend by chance.

Wang Fan turned his head and saw the two teenagers staring at him with wide eyes, he stood up with a smile and greeted: "Big fat, monkey head, it's you, it scared me!" ”

The people who came were all Wang Fan's classmates, one had a fat head and big ears, and the other looked like a monkey with a sharp mouth and a monkey gills called a monkey head. Both of them live in the township government compound and are frequent visitors to this Internet café, and it is said that because they are frequent customers and the background of the township government leaders, they enjoy high discounts for playing games online here.

"Wang Fan, you haven't gone back to the mountains, what are you doing online here?" Da Fei glanced at Wang Fan's computer screen as he spoke, and immediately made a fuss, "Shancheng gold, silver and jewelry market? Wang Fan, how can you be interested in gold, silver and jewelry when you are poor on weekdays? ”

Wang Fan was shocked, and hurriedly covered the computer screen with his body, thinking that fortunately, the computer screen was not showing information on the black market gun sales. Otherwise, his illegal behavior will be exposed, and the monkey-headed father happens to be the director of the township police station.

Thinking that it is not illegal to study gold, silver and jewelry, Wang Fan said unhurriedly: "My uncle's family has something to ask me to help, so I can come and take a look on the Internet if I have nothing to do." ”

The monkey head noticed the princess cat who was staring at him, and pointed with his hand: "Big fat, you see that Wang Fan's cat looks like a human dog, maybe Wang Fan wants to go to the mountain city and exchange this cat for some gold, silver and jewelry." Hey..."

Da Fei looked at Zhen'er and smirked: "Hey! Hey! Hey! Then he said to Wang Fan: "Wang Fan, you don't really think so, do you?" ”

Wang Fan smiled: "How come? My cat is priceless!" immediately changed the topic, "Da Fei, I heard that you and Monkey Head want to participate in an e-sports competition, you should hurry up and practice, my one-hour Internet time is almost up." ”

After saying that, I turned around and sat down, I didn't want to waste any more time chatting, sitting in the Internet café, time is money.

Seeing this, Da Fei and Monkey were no longer verbose, they each occupied a computer slot, and after a while, the two of them "crackled!" Horn! "Tapping on the keyboard and playing the game.

Wang Fan completed the intelligence collection work on time, got up and packed up Zhen'er, and then said hello to his classmates and left the Internet café.

Walking to no one's place, Zhen'er asked in a low voice, "Wang Fan, have you figured out all those strange books after reading them?" ”

Wang Fan lowered his head and said in a low voice: "I understand, let's take a three-wheeled motor vehicle to Fengcheng first, and then take a night bus to Shancheng, where we sell swords and have money, we will take a long-distance bus from Shancheng to Gongmu County to buy weapons." ”

When he arrived at Fengcheng County, it was already noon, and when he got off the bus, Wang Fan found the long-distance bus station and bought a long-distance bus ticket to the mountain city at seven o'clock in the evening.

After buying the ticket, Wang Fan only had two hundred yuan left in his pocket, and he had to try to save every dollar before selling the sword for a rainy day.

After buying a large bag of bread and milk drinks at a convenience store near the station, Wang Fan took Zhen'er to sit in a remote corner of the station parking lot to eat, where a towering tree with lush branches and leaves supported a cool shade.

It is a long-distance bus station operated exclusively for private buses, there is no indoor waiting room, and the ticket station is also very small, because it is air-conditioned, so the small ticket station is already crowded.

After filling his stomach, Wang Fan took out the radio and looked at it, the time was only more than two o'clock in the afternoon, and it was still very early before the departure time. Wang Fan came to the city with a few classmates a year ago, and the weather was hot and he didn't have much money in his pocket, so Wang Fan decided to continue to rest and wait.

The two whispered for a while about their feelings about today's trip, and Zhen'er took a motorized tricycle to see the high-rise buildings in the city, and her view of the old world has changed a lot.

After being silent for a while, Zhen'er suddenly asked an unexpected question: "Wang Fan, are you on a good note?" ”

Wang Fan hesitated and replied, "You mean girlfriend?" No! ”

Although Wang Fan likes a girl in the class, he is also quite confident in his charm, but he is busy studying on weekdays, and returns to the mountains on weekends and holidays.

"I'm not talking about friends, I'm talking about people who get married and have children in the future!" Jen'er emphasized.

"Not even more!" Wang Fan said categorically that there are many middle school students who fall in love today, but I am afraid that less than one percent will be able to get married and have children in the future.

Wang Fan looked at Zhen'er and wondered in her heart, did she think that this world was better and wanted to stay here after changing back into human form? If she wants to stay in this world and find a good relationship to get married and have children, she is undoubtedly the most suitable person.

"I'm in love!" Zhen'er's words immediately dispelled Wang Fan's thoughts.

"Who is he?" Wang Fan asked curiously.

"His name is Song Ren, he is a year older than me, and he is in his first year at King's College in Howl. King's College is the country's highest institution, admitting only 30 new students each year, and officials at all levels in Pakistan are initially selected from among King's College graduates. Professor May is the Dean of King's College and a teacher to me and my brother. It was he who recommended Song Ren to my father, and I met him twice and was quite satisfied. But according to the rules of my ancestors, I will not disclose my friendship to the public until I am sixteen years old, so now only Professor Mei and Song Ren themselves know about it.

Song Ren is not only good at learning, but also has practiced martial arts and swords since he was a child, if he knew that something happened to the palace and I was gone, he would definitely make trouble with Hu Tang Master, but he was weak and weak and was not Hu Tang Master's opponent at all, I was worried that he would also be turned into what I am by demons. ”

The city of Hal is the capital of the Ba people in this golden world, and it is also the only city in this new world, the streets of the city are well connected and various buildings are well planned, but the means of transportation for the inhabitants of the city are still horses and carriages.

The liveliest street in Hal is Queen Street, and it's lunchtime when the two brothers hang high in the middle of the golden canopy. A large crowd gathered in front of a restaurant on Queen's Street, gathered around a conspicuous sign posted on the exterior wall of the house:

Announcement of Ba Wangfu

1, the king's brother Shunyan led a security team of more than 100 people to raid the Ba Wangfu last night in an attempt to seize the throne of Ba, but was defeated by the palace guards and Hu Zheng's master and apprentice, and Shunyan escaped with the princess hostage.

2. Because of Hu Zheng's meritorious service in quelling the rebellion, the king specially appointed Hu Zheng as the captain of the Pakistani security team, removed all Shunyan from all positions, and handed over to the security team for arrest and interrogation, and rewarded 5,000 yuan for anyone who found Shunyan's traces and reported to Captain Hu Zheng.

3, because of the rebellion caused by the palace guards and security team members casualties, the special order to reopen the martial arts hall, by Hu Zheng concurrently the hall master, recruit fifteen to seventeen years old male and female apprentices, the first phase of the enrollment of fifty, a period of one year, by Hu Zheng's old disciples as the coaches of each group, the completion of the study period will be reused, the training period of food and other expenses will be paid by the Ba Wangfu.

4. Registration location: Wuyi Hall, registration starts today, the number of places is limited on a first-come, first-served basis, and the quota will end on a first-come, first-served basis.

The bottom of the notice is also stamped with the red seal of the Ba Wangfu to indicate that this notice is genuine and not counterfeit. Onlookers pointed fingers at the notice on the wall.

A handsome young man squeezed out of the crowd of onlookers silently after reading the poster, and then walked quickly to the racecourse, pulled out a horse, flew on the horse, and galloped out.

The young man jumped off his horse at the door of a quiet mansion, tied it to a tree trunk in front of it, and then went up and knocked on the door.

The door soon opened, and a teenage girl came out of the door and said with a smile: "Brother Song Ren, my father was looking for you, but I didn't expect you to come uninvited." ”

Song Ren breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Liangliang, so my teacher is at home?" ”

A man's deep and powerful voice sounded in the room: "I'm here!" Song In, come in! ”

It was Professor Mei who was talking in the room, and he was in the prime of life and looked polite.

Song Ren strode into the room and came to Professor Mei and hurriedly said, "Teacher, I just saw a notice from the Ba Wangfu on Queen's Street, saying that Prince Shun rebelled against Lord Hu Tang to save him, and that Prince Shun escaped with the princess, how could such an almost impossible thing happen?" ”

Professor Mei frowned and said, "As a teacher, I also went to the palace this morning to discuss matters and learned about this from the king. The teacher and all the officials present couldn't believe it at the time, but what the king said himself, if you don't believe it, you have to believe it. ”

Mei Liang brought a pot of tea and put it on the coffee table, and said, "Dad, Brother Song Ren, why don't you sit down and talk!" ”

The master and apprentice who were standing and talking sat opposite each other, and the girl poured a cup of tea for each of them, and then stood aside.

The young man had no intention of drinking tea, and his expression was still nervous, "But, teacher, if it is true, why did Prince Shun run away with the princess?" Will the princess's life be in danger? ”

"I thought that in the opinion of the teacher, the princess followed Prince Shun to escape from the palace, but fortunately, the prince went to the countryside and escaped." Professor Mei said in a calm tone.

Song Ren's face was shocked, "The teacher thinks that the truth of the incident is just the opposite?" ”

Professor Mei nodded, "Master Wei noticed an abnormality in the palace this morning, and because the relationship is very important, he didn't dare to mention it to others. Although the king was present and told the story orally, the teacher observed that the king's eyes were empty when he spoke, as if he was endorsing. When Hu Zheng found the security team and palace guards to testify, Wei Shi observed the same situation.

In order to further confirm the suspicion in his heart, when the king retired from the dynasty, he said that he had something to report to the king in private, but the king ignored it, and then Hu Zheng claimed that the king needed to recuperate because of mental stimulation, and no one was allowed to enter the palace of the king of Ba without being summoned.

After the teacher was driven out by the surnamed Hu, there was an old guard standing at the gate of the palace, and when the teacher went out, he asked him in a low voice: "Do you know who I am?" The old guard asked stupidly, "Who are you?" ”

As a result of a series of anomalies, the teacher determined that this incident was caused by Hu Zheng and his apprentices using the magic of a certain ghost and demon. Prince Shun and his security team wanted to fight back but were defeated by Hu Zheng, and Prince Shun had no choice but to flee with the princess. ”

Song Ren nodded frequently, "The teacher's observation will not be wrong, the king and the palace guards are all confused by the ghost and demon technique. It's just that where did Hu Zheng get this ghost and demon technique? ”

Professor Mei frowned again, "Master Wei was also thinking hard about this matter just now, according to historical records, in the treacherous jungle outside the Flame Mountain, there are many kinds of animals native to this world, they look ugly and my Ba people never dare to approach, and the previous Ba kings were kind-hearted, allowing them to grow and reproduce in their own territory and never hunting. Could it be that some of those animals have evolved into demons or something? Hu Zheng and his apprentices were all bold and reckless, and they may have secretly gone there to deal with the monsters, and when the time came, they joined forces to launch this rebellion and blame the prince Shun. ”

While Dad finished speaking, the silent girl on the side spoke: "Dad, in a storybook I read, it is said that smart ghosts will evolve into demons after three hundred years of evolution, could it be that some of the ghosts of the Three Realms Hall of the Lonely Mountain have become demons at the age of three hundred, and then go down the mountain to Har City and use witchcraft to harm people with the Lord of the Hu Hall?"

Both of them turned their faces to look at the girl thoughtfully.

"Liangliang, that's what the storybook says? If that's the case, the Lonely Mountain Dao Elders are derelict in their duties! Professor Mei asked himself.

Song Ren turned his face to Professor Mei and said, "Master, although the storybook is a story, since the art of ghosts and demons has really appeared, it must be related to ghosts and demons, and the bright story can also be used for reference." ”

Professor Mei stood up and walked a few steps in the living room, he turned to look at the young man, and Song Ren immediately stood up and straightened his waist to listen to the teacher's teachings.

Professor Mei said earnestly: "Song Ren, the king and the princess are very optimistic about you, and now that the country of Pakistan is in trouble, you have to take practical actions to repay the love of the king and the princess." Let's split up! You immediately go to the Martial Arts Hall to sign up as the new disciple of the Hu Hall Master, take the opportunity to get close to Hu Zheng to find out what the hell he is up to, and try to find a way to crack the demon arts. As a teacher, he will secretly go to the Lonely Mountain early tomorrow morning to let the Dao Masters thoroughly investigate the Three Realms Hall, and then come up with a way to crack the demon arts. ”

The young man's eyes were like electricity, and he responded firmly: "Rest assured, the student will do his best to complete the teacher's trust, even if he goes up the knife mountain and goes down to the sea of fire, he will not hesitate at all!" ”
