According to the address sent by Zhao Shengli, Han Jiangxue adjusted the final destination in navigation, and after the car left the Chuxiong toll station, it immediately turned into a ramp and headed for the inaccessible Taijifeng mountainous area.

When they arrived near Taiji Peak, it was already past noon, it was the scorching heat of August, the scorching sun was scorching the earth, and the two hid in the car, blowing the air conditioner while discussing the next plan of action.

"The meeting place is in the old bear cave halfway up the Taiji Peak, and it is estimated that there will be more than ten kilometers of mountain road to pass from where we are now."

Song Yu looked at Taiji Peak, which was standing not far away outside the car window, and couldn't help whispering: "As the saying goes, Wangshan runs a dead horse, obviously it looks very close, but I am afraid it will take a few days and nights to actually walk." ”

Han Jiangxue nodded and replied approvingly: "We must be prepared for a long trek in the mountains. ”

As he was talking, in the dense forest on the right side of the winding mountain road, a middle-aged man in a green cloth soap coat suddenly came out, he walked straight to the front of the car, and then came to the driver's seat, and gently knocked on the window with his hand: "Hello, are you the representatives sent by the 501 team?" ”

Han Jiangxue vigilantly lowered the window of the car and looked at the man standing outside with sharp eyes: "Before we answer your question, please report your name first." ”

The middle-aged man was stunned, and then nodded and said, "I am a disciple of the Shadow Sect in Western Yunnan, and I came to greet the two of you on the order of the head of the sect." ”

After that, the middle-aged man took out a golden waist card inlaid with gold and jade from his arms, which shone under the scorching midday sun, shaking people's eyes.

Han Jiangxue frowned and asked puzzledly, "Whose waist card is this?" ”

The middle-aged man held the waist card in one hand and explained unhurriedly: "Who else can it be?" Of course, it is an ancestral heirloom held by the head of my dignified shadow gate. ”

After hearing this, Han Jiangxue couldn't help but think in her heart: "It is rumored that the successive heads of the Shadow Gate in Western Yunnan have a golden waist card that has been passed down from generation to generation in the family, and what I see today is true." ”

After a while, Han Jiangxue continued to ask, "Why didn't Master Du show up in person and come to talk to us?" ”

The middle-aged man said with a smile: "The head of the house has a lot of opportunities and has no time to participate in the talks, so I have to send the new Great Protector to organize this conversation with you." ”

When Song Yu heard this, he couldn't help but ask curiously: "Not long after Du Quande was arrested, you elected the new Great Protector so quickly?" ”

"That's right, just because the position of the Great Dharma Protector is very important in the Shadow Door, we can't be left without one for a day, and with the intervention of the head of the sect, we quickly elected a new Great Dharma Protector."

After the middle-aged man finished speaking, he took out a hand towel from his arms and wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead.

"If you can trust me, please come with me, the meeting place is set in the Old Bear Cave of Taiji Peak, and I will take you to take a shortcut and reach your destination in the shortest possible time."

Song Yu and Han Jiangxue glanced at each other, hesitating whether to listen to this man's words.

"Okay, then I'll trouble you."

After some thought, Han Jiangxue decided to make a plan, in case the other party made trouble, it would not be too late to clean him up when the time came.

The two got out of the car, Han Jiangxue looked back at the car parked on the side of the road, and asked with some concern: "My car is parked here, there shouldn't be anything wrong, right?" ”

The middle-aged man whispered without thinking: "This beauty, please rest assured, this area is our territory, and no one will make waves here, you can rest assured, if something goes wrong, the shadow gate will never sit idly by." ”

Receiving such a promise from the other party, Han Jiangxue breathed a sigh of relief.

Under the guidance of the middle-aged man, the two of them went into a primeval jungle that covered the sky and the sun, because the forest was deep and dense, it was difficult for the sun to shine in, and the forest was particularly cold.

"I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Du Jiang, and I am the cousin of the former Great Protector Du Quande."

Han Jiangxue and Song Yu were concentrating on hurrying, and when they heard the middle-aged man say such a sentence, they couldn't help but raise their vigilance.

In order to ease the tense atmosphere at the moment, Du Jiang had no choice but to say: "Don't misunderstand, you two, I'm not here to seek revenge on you. As we all know, my stupid form and psychic society have colluded and committed crimes that are unreasonable and deserve to be punished by law. After the incident, Du Quande has been removed from the head of the family and permanently expelled from the shadow gate, and he is no longer our person. ”

Hearing this, Han Jiangxue asked suspiciously, "Since he was all expelled by you, why did you organize this meeting?" ”

Song Yu took over the conversation and said to Du Jiang: "Could it be that you are still lucky and want to beg us to let Du Quande go?" ”

At this time, Du Jiang stopped, turned around and explained to the two: "I have no intention of doing so, I invited the two of you to come to the meeting this time, not to discuss Du Quande's affairs. ”

Han Jiangxue was even more confused in her heart, so she asked: "The letter you sent said in black and white that 'discuss the arrest of Du Quande', why has it changed again?" ”

Du Jiang said patiently: "That letter is just a cover, the purpose is to invite you to the meeting. To tell you the truth, the boss ordered us to organize this meeting because we wanted your help. ”

"With our help? Where does this begin? ”

Du Jiang bowed slightly, and then continued to explain: "The shadow gate is facing an unprecedented crisis inside, in recent years, the psychic will continue to insert undercover agents to infiltrate the sect, destroying the harmony of the sect, and in recent times, the contradictions between the several major Dharma protectors have reached the point of irreconcilability, and they almost fought hard, and even the head of the sect was powerless. If this continues, the Shadow Gate of Western Yunnan will collapse at any time. ”

Song Yu listened to it and said thoughtfully: "In order to save the crisis of sect splitting, you plan to use the power of the 501 team to eliminate those undercover agents of the Psychic Society. Mr. Du, isn't that the case? ”

Du Jiang agreed again and again: "This handsome guy is really insightful, we really plan to do so." ”

Han Jiangxue waved her hand and said to Du Jiang solemnly: "This is impossible, the 501 team will never interfere in the internal affairs of your sect." ”

Du Jiang nodded slowly, and replied softly: "We all understand this truth, but with our current strength, it is difficult to fight against the Psychic Society. According to our understanding, the special operation team against the supernatural under the Longquan City National Security Bureau has been competing with the psychic society all the year round and has accumulated rich combat experience. ”

Han Jiangxue and Song Yu listened, but nodded lightly and stopped making a sound.

The Shadow Gate and the 501 team cooperated, this matter is very important, Han Jiangxue can't be the master alone, so now he can only rush to the meeting place first, see the new Grand Protector of the Shadow Gate, and then discuss other things in the long run.

Let's say that the two followed Du Jiang around the primeval jungle for a long time, and before they knew it, the time had come to evening.

The group came to a low shoal, Du Jiang looked at the watch on his wrist, looked up at the Taiji Peak in the distance, and said with a serious face: "It is dangerous to walk the mountain road at night, it is better to rest here for a night, and then set off after dawn." ”

Han Jiangxue and Song Yuzheng had this intention, and the two replied in unison: "It can only be like this!" ”

Taking advantage of the fact that it was not yet dark, Du Jiang helped Song Yu set up a tent, and then went to the neighborhood to pick up some firewood.

Han Jiangxue opened her backpack, took out the self-heating instant rice prepared in advance, and distributed it to Song Yu and Du Jiang.

"I can't eat anything good when camping in the wilderness, and I'm lucky to be able to eat such a bowl of hot convenience food."

Du Jiang couldn't help but sigh while eating self-heating rice.

Han Jiangxue ignored Du Jiang's words, and after eating in a muffled voice, she put the garbage into a special plastic bag, immediately stuffed it into her backpack, and said to the two people who were still eating: "The journey is tiring, I'll go back to the tent to sleep first." ”

Song Yu nodded and responded in a low voice, "Okay, you go and rest." ”

Seeing Han Jiangxue get into his tent, Du Jiang put down the food box in his hand and couldn't help but ask Song Yu: "This sister is so beautiful, our head of the family looks pale in comparison to her." By the way, is she your girlfriend? ”

Song Yu didn't know how to answer this question, so he had to say perfunctorily: "We are just colleagues." ”

Du Jiang let out an "oh" and muttered in a low voice: "I see that the two of you are talented and beautiful, they are a pair made in heaven, and you will definitely be able to hold the hand of your son and grow old with your son in the future." ”

When Song Yu heard this, he felt very useful, so he lowered his voice and said, "Brother, you really have vision!" ”
