Chapter 16: Squad Merger
The book is long, and the word is short. Three days have passed in a flash, and Shen Qingming has not been idle in the past few days, and has been working hard to find a girlfriend, but unfortunately the current state of semi-unemployed vagrants is really not an advantage, and he can only fall into a situation where no one cares. Shen Qingming also thought about staying at home and taking the opportunity to practice the secret technique of mouth cannons, but this thing is not like in the online novel that you can practice with a formula, so he had to give up and stay at home comfortably for three days.
As soon as Shen Qingming arrived at the lobby of Poly Hotel early in the morning, Yang Xu's iconic little gold cup had already stopped at the door, and it was estimated that Qin Yeyou had also arrived early, and only he was the latest among the trio.
Yang Xu beckoned Shen Qingming to come over: "Hurry up, Qingming, I'll introduce you to the companions of this trip." ”
With the help of speaking, Shen Qingming carefully looked at the four people sent by the Yuecheng Office. The leader is an old man, according to Yang Xu, this is the country's famous folklorist Chen Zhen, the academic circle respectfully calls him a sentence Chen Lao, is a person with the status of Taishan Beidou, Chen Lao has an easy-going personality and serious work, and deservedly became the leader of Yuecheng. The second is a young man named Lin Sheng, with a fox face, looking at Shen Qingming with a smile, and Shen Qingming who was smiling was furious. He is the young master of the Lin family in Qincheng, working in Yuecheng under the name of this operation, there was no him in this operation, it was purely that he was clamoring to come to join in the fun, hiring Yang Xu and them, and there was also a part of the intention of protecting Lin Sheng.
is a big living person, why do you have to come to join in the fun. However, this person can also be regarded as his food and clothing parents, so Shen Qingming didn't delve too deeply into this matter.
The third person looked honest, a small flat-headed passer-by, with no features at all except for darker skin. I heard Yang Xu say that his name is Zhang Ge, he is a senior Heavenly Master, and he is also the only Heavenly Master in the Yuecheng team. Zhang Ge saw that Shen Qingming just nodded and didn't say anything more.
The last one is a girl, named Xiling Heng. Yang Xu said that this is a psychologist who came back from studying abroad, one year younger than Shen Qingming, and he is very young and promising. Shen Qingming had the heart to say hello to his sister, but he didn't know how to read the last word.
Qin Yeyou tilted his head, probably to tell him the meaning of the words read horizontally, and the accessories on the jade pendant.
, you know this, too? Shen Qingming said secretly.
Qin Yeyou tilted his head again, meaning probably a little hobby.
"Isn't this kid's neck very good, hahaha young people should also pay more attention to their bodies, don't regret it when you are old. Old Chen kindly comforted Qin Yeyou.
Qin Yeyou had no choice but to say thank you to Old Chen for your concern.
"This is Shen Qingming, just call him whatever you want, don't look at him as unreliable as he is, he is the youngest Heavenly Master at the moment. Yang Xu introduced Shen Qingming here, "The people of the rivers and lakes gave him the nickname Qincheng Wang Baoqiang." ”
It's really more and more outrageous, hey!
Chen Lao took out a file bag from the briefcase and said solemnly: "Since the seven members of the team are all here, then I will open the information bag, everyone take a look, this is still sealed." ”
There are a lot of documents in it, but there are only a few pieces of useful information. The missing village is called Luming Village, a village built in the Southern Song Dynasty, with a long history, the whole village covers an area of 3.2 square kilometers, 2,100 meters above sea level, rich in rice crops, the population is roughly estimated to be about 1,000 people, and the villagers can barely live on their own. Luming Village is located in the mountains, the traffic is inconvenient, and it is rarely communicated with outsiders, but it also has the wonder of the shadow moon because of its topography. The so-called shadow moon is the name of the locals, and after the summer solstice in the past few decades, there is an astronomical phenomenon in which the sun turns black and is replaced by the moon, and the shadow moon appears for a few hours or several days, and there is no explanation so far. In 2004, the three links were initially realized, and the main public facility in the village was the health center, and the informant on the Yuecheng side was a doctor in the health center.
This doctor is mainly responsible for reporting the time and specific circumstances of the Shadow Moon, but this doctor only sends back the visit records of some out-of-town visitors every year, and has never encountered the Shadow Moon phenomenon. Yuecheng's family has a big business, and he doesn't care about raising one more idler, so he goes. The turning point of events happened a week ago, when the doctor suddenly reported that Shadow Moon was about to appear, and after half a day, an urgent distress signal was sent, and by the time Yue Cheng contacted him again, there was no news.
Something strange and unclear, the Yuecheng Office was ready to go into the village to find out, and in less than a day, a team of four led by a celestial master was assembled to find the missing doctor, who expected that this group of people would never return and disappear between the mountains.
The missing team only sent back two text messages, the first of which was that the person had arrived outside the village and reported his safety to the office. The second is that a thick fog began to rise outside the village, and I was going to take a look, but there was no news after that. Ye Jinghan handed over the mobile phone responsible for receiving text messages to Chen Lao and his party, so that if the missing team sent any news again, they could react as soon as possible.
"Shadow Moon? It shouldn't be an astronomical phenomenon. Shen Qingming analyzed it after reading the information, "Otherwise, Yuecheng should have sent an astronomer, not a folklorist like Chen Lao." ”
Lin Sheng was a little upset after hearing this, and said directly: "You mean that we didn't tell you the information when we crossed the city?"
"I don't mean that, I'm just curious, don't get excited. Lin Sheng is one of his bosses, and he has never heard of quarreling with his parents.
Chen Lao said: "Don't be so excited, although I am not an insider, but I also know the truth of sincere cooperation, this time I go to Luming Village Anything can happen, only mutual trust can return safely." ”
Yang Xu also helped beside him: "What Elder Chen said is true." As the old saying goes, one chopstick is easy to bend, ten chopsticks are as strong as a mountain, if any of you want to be a chopstick, I will bend it with my own hands. ”
said the same thing, what Chen Lao said was really much more reliable than Yang Xu, and when a good word came to Yang Xu's mouth, he always felt like he was joking.
"Have you all prepared the supplies you needed along the way, Xiaolin?" asked Elder Chen.
Lin Sheng was also very convinced of Elder Chen, and said respectfully: "Elder Chen, get ready, everything is in our car." ”
"What about the reserves?"
Lin Sheng replied: "The reserve team has already gone to the nearest town one step ahead of time to stand by, and if there is any emergency on our side, they will come to provide support as soon as possible." ”
S-level firms are professional, and thinking about their actions last time, they were simply too unprofessional.
"Since everything is ready to stop, let's go now, shall we?" asked Elder Chen.
Yang Xu wanted to set off early, and said, "It's okay to go early and come back early, it's useless to stay here for a long time." ”
So the group split into two cars and headed for Luming Village in the fog.
