The area of Fairy Pond is not large, about 300 square meters. It has an oval shape and looks like a mirror embedded in the valley in the light of the moon......

The pond is level and there are no waves.

At this time, although it is summer, the cold air on the water still stings people's skin.

This is the most bizarre part of Fairy Pond, and if it weren't too remote, plus the mountain roads are difficult to navigate, this alone is enough to develop this place into a good attraction.

"I've heard people talk about this place for a long time...... Tsk, this water is really cold, and it really deserves its name. ”

Zhang Changqing squatted on the edge of the pond, put his hand into the water to test the temperature, his body trembled, and he immediately shuddered.

"Elder Qi, you are the most knowledgeable, do you know what caused this geographical environment?" Zhang Changqing stood up, looked at Qi Yuanshan, who was sitting on the bluestone and wearing a diving suit, and humbly asked for advice.

Although Qi Yuanshan is a lot older, he has maintained a pretty good figure, and the diving suit with thermal insulation function is worn on his body, if you don't look at that face, you will definitely think that he is a young man.

Qi Yuanshan shook his head and said, "I can't answer this question either...... In fact, regarding the geological environment of Fairy Pond, in the past few decades, the geological department has carried out several surveys, but has not been able to form a conclusive conclusion, and finally it is only a general summary of the phenomenon of Hantan. ”

Zhang Changqing said: "Elder Qi, you are a master of metaphysics, do you think ...... Can this phenomenon be explained by the principle of the five elements of yin and yang? ”

Qi Yuanshan laughed and said, "Your sentence is to the point!" That's right, from the point of view of metaphysics and feng shui, this should be an eye of the earth's yin, also known as the yin cave. If I'm not mistaken, there should be a yin vein under the fairy pool, which is so strong that it can't be discharged. Finally, it converges to this only exit, and this cold pool is formed......"

After a slight pause, he said: "You just thought that the water in this pool was cold, but in fact, it was strictly speaking." It's not cold, it's cold. Ice and cold are only changes in temperature, but cold is different in attributes. Generally speaking, if ordinary people are cold, as long as they keep warm and drive away the cold in time, they will be fine. But after the yin qi enters the body. It can cause disorders of the basic properties of the human body. Physical insulation is no longer effective. ”

I have to say that Qi Yuanshan is indeed a learned person, and after he explains this theory of yin and yang and the five elements, it will be easier for ordinary people to accept.

Of course. This kind of theoretical explanation is not the focus of tonight, Zhang Changqing just asked casually, and he just answered casually. In the deep mountains and dense forests shrouded in moonlight, this question and answer is more like a psychological adjustment before the battle......

"Old ...... Qi" Zhang Changqing saw that Qi Yuanshan was already dressed neatly, and coughed: "This pool of water is very cold. Can your old body withstand it? ”

Qi Yuanshan smiled and said, "Although Lian Po is old, he can still eat...... Don't worry, this cold won't bother me. ”

As he spoke, he picked up a waterproof backpack that he had prepared a long time ago, carried it behind his back, and then carefully fastened the lock.

"Changqing, if I haven't come up in two hours, you can get out of here."

Before entering the water, Qi Yuanshan looked at Zhang Changqing. Specially instructed.

Zhang Changqing said: "Where do you always say...... Elder Qi, I believe that you will succeed in this trip, and I will wait here until you come ashore. ”

Qi Yuanshan smiled noncommittally and suddenly turned around. glanced at the southeast lightly, and said, "Hehe, borrow your auspicious words." Changqing, you have a heart......"

Zhang Changqing saw this. I couldn't help but chuckle in my heart......

Did the old man already see something?

Zhang Changqing couldn't help but beat a little drum in his heart, in the southeast direction. Old Black is lurking there with a sniper rifle at the moment.

There is a saying that 'you must not have the heart of harming others, and you must not have the heart of preventing others'. Zhang Changqing had great respect for Qi Yuanshan on the surface, but deep down he never really believed in this old man. Take Danshu as an example, from the current point of view, although the possibility of existence is very high, but after all, the whole thing is just Qi Yuanshan's own words, Zhang Changqing is somewhat worried that this old man sells dog meat with a sheep's head, and on the surface under the guise of Danshu, he is secretly engaged in other things.

If he was just deceived, Zhang Changqing was most worried that after Qi Yuanshan's plan was successful, he would unceremoniously unload and kill the donkey. Therefore, the necessary self-protection measures still need to be prepared......

In addition, if the Danshu really exists, whether he will continue to cooperate with him after Qi Yuanshan gets it is also a question that needs to be considered in advance.

In Zhang Changqing's view, if the cooperation can continue, everyone will naturally be happy, if the old man plans to swallow it alone, then he can't blame himself for being ruthless, let's start first!

Zhang Changqing believed that as long as he was flesh and blood, it was impossible to resist a bullet fired from a sniper rifle, even if this person was a so-called monk!

Qi Yuanshan glanced at the southeast and then retracted his gaze, there was nothing unusual on his face, Zhang Changqing was a little relieved. From the bottom of his heart, at least until the longevity pill was successfully refined, he didn't want to turn against Qi Yuanshan.

"Changqing, I'm going down......"

Qi Yuanshan walked to the edge of the fairy pool, took a deep breath, and jumped down without hesitation.

……………………………………

"Master has gone down!"

Hundreds of meters away, two men in their early thirties stared closely at the fairy pool in the distance.

One of the men with a slightly darkened face looked a little excited, and said, "Senior brother, Master has already gone down...... Does Zhang Changqing's bodyguard need to be solved now? ”

The other man with curly hair shook his head and said, "There's no need for this...... Master said that as long as Zhang Changqing doesn't have bad intentions, he will go with him. After all, after the Dan Book arrived, many alchemy materials had to be collected with the help of his financial resources and manpower. ”

The black-faced man said, "But it's not appropriate to let this gunman lurk there, right?" ”

The curly-haired man nodded and said, "You're right, it's indeed inappropriate." No matter how strong the master is, he is only flesh and blood, and he can't stop a bullet...... So, I'll stay here, and you sneak over and keep the gunman in check. ”

The black-faced man said: "It's too troublesome to watch, so just knock me out." ”

The curly-haired man stared at the fairy pool in the moonlight, and said noncommittally: "You can do this kind of trivial thing yourself......

……………………………………

"There are a total of thirteen people, except for Qi Yuanshan and Zhang Changqing, the others are distributed in six directions......

About a kilometer away from the Fairy Pond, a young woman with short hair looked at the flat panel monitor in her hand, constantly reporting data in her mouth. The equipment she was carrying was obviously high-end, and it was able to display all living things within a radius of miles in infrared fashion.

"Xiaofan, go a little to the east, there seems to be another person there."

After reporting the data, the short-haired woman turned her head and said to a young man not far away who was operating some kind of remote control device.

"No problem...... Xiao Fan looked up at the vast night sky, about a few hundred meters high, a miniature helium airship with an infrared camera was slowly drifting over the Fairy Pool.

"There's really someone, I almost missed it." The short-haired woman said, "Head, there are fourteen people now!" ”

Not far from her, a middle-aged man stood on a boulder with his hands behind his back and stared at the fairy pool in the distance.

His expression was solemn, his body was straight, and when he looked under the moonlight, he looked like a vigorous green bamboo.

"Fourteen?" He muttered: "There are really a lot of people coming tonight, but I don't know if there is that Mo Yan?" ”

The short-haired woman said, "Head, do you want him to come, or do you not want him to come?" ”

The middle-aged man said: "According to the original plan, I didn't want him to participate in this matter. However, according to the news he received in the afternoon, he now seems to have reached some kind of tacit understanding with Fang Zheng's side. If this is true, I wish he had come tonight. With him, we're a lot less stressed......"

After a slight pause, he suddenly sighed, and said: "These people who came tonight, excluding the factors in equipment, at least two of them are above me in strength, and the pressure is very high." ”

The short-haired woman said, "In that case, why don't you ask Fang Zheng for help?" And Chu Yu, she can also come to help......"

Hearing the girl mention Chu Yu, the middle-aged man couldn't help but laugh and said, "It's good that girl doesn't make trouble for us, and you still expect her to help?" As for Fang Zheng...... He is also very short of manpower, and he has not received special training, so when facing monks, he cannot give full play to his strengths, and he is basically unable to help. ”

After a slight pause, he said, "In addition, they cooperated with Mo Yan this afternoon and caught a few foreign monks who used Gu to harm people, and I'm afraid they are busy now." ”

The short-haired girl was curious: "Is it a cultivator of the natal Gu?" ”

The middle-aged man nodded and said, "Well, it's also the most vicious kind, it is said to be the white jade yin and yang Gu ......"

Xiao Fan on the side suddenly asked, "Head, is that Mo Yan really powerful?" ”

After all, young people are young people, and during this period of time, he has often heard the name of Mo Yan, who is listed as an SSS-level person by the headquarters, and he will inevitably have some thoughts in his heart.

The middle-aged man pondered for a moment and said, "According to the information from the headquarters, he may be the only monk who has broken through the Heavenly Pass so far, do you say he is powerful?" ”

Xiao Fan's eyes widened and said, "Won't it?" Head...... You must be kidding me, right? ”

The middle-aged man smiled bitterly: "I also hope I'm joking, but this possibility is really big." By the way, this is not my judgment, but the conclusion of the group of experts at headquarters. ”

Xiao Fan opened her mouth and was about to speak, but the short-haired woman suddenly shouted: "Head, the image is disturbed, it is very unstable......"

The middle-aged man immediately walked over and said, "What's the matter?" ”

The short-haired woman said, "I don't know, it seems to be disturbed by some inexplicable energy." ”

The middle-aged man looked at the red dots that flickered on the flat panel display, frowned, and said, "Is it that the transmission signal is interfered with, or is it a problem with the camera?" ”

The short-haired woman immediately took out a small communication device and tested it, saying, "The signal is very clear, it shouldn't be a problem in this regard." ”

The middle-aged man's brows couldn't help but furrow tighter, and he immediately looked up in the direction of the fairy pool......

"Did you notice that this place seems to be foggy?"
