Around the top of this mountain, the view is open for a few hundred meters. A small town is located in a mountain col. There are all single-family villas with gardens and smooth and straight cement roads crisscrossing the town.
The town started from the mountain pass and spread to Shenchou. It was said that the town was not suitable enough. A town that could accommodate more than 10,000 people would not be small in size.
Its level of luxury exceeded Xia Zuo's expectations.
Along the way, he searched for photos of ethnic minority settlements in Bagui Province. They were dusty with loess, the roofs were covered with dark brown tiles, and old farmers with rolled-up trousers were walking on cobblestone paths while leading their cattle.
The only modern wafer-like thing is the telephone pole standing at the end of the village.
So Xia Zuo formed a fixed impression of ethnic minority gathering places in foreign countries, isolated and poor villages.
When I saw this scene, I was a little stunned. Not only was I not poor and backward, but I was staggeringly rich.
Xia Zuo quickly realized that the Qinghe Branch was the most powerful in Bagui Province, and all the funds for the Bagui Provincial Department of Finance were received from the Qinghe Branch.
The money fed to them by the Five Elements Alliance headquarters every year is equivalent to the annual gross profit of a large enterprise.
How could such a force lead a poor life?
It's not surprising that they built palaces in the mountains.
Xia Zuo looked at the mountain col in the distance, his light blue pupils regaining their composure.
"Qinghe branch, we're here..." As soon as I finished speaking, a three-meter-tall stubble-haired giant ape suddenly jumped out of the dense forest in front of me, dragging a piece of broken wood, sprinted a few steps with one hand on the ground, and threw it out with all its strength.
The broken wood spun and hit, and the demon hunter in the front row snorted coldly. Then, a small tornado rose, rolling the broken wood into the sky and falling into the dense forest not far away.
"Chi~"
The driver stepped on the brakes hard and the tires scraped black marks on the road.
In front, a young man walked out of the woods carrying a rifle. He wore a blue cloth coat embroidered with gorgeous colorful pictures. His skin was dark and his eyes were full of aggression. He had the unique toughness of the Qinghe people.
He first calmed the irritable giant ape, and then shouted in Mandarin with a serious tone: "Yes, not a person who is punished by heaven?"
Before the Heavenly Punishment team set off, the Five Elements Alliance headquarters sent an email to the Qinghe branch to inform them.
Siren Osmond stuck out his head and said coldly: "You just break wood and smash cars to welcome guests? You are indeed a group of low-minded, uncivilized and stupid races." The last half of his sentence was in a foreign language.
As expected, the young man didn't understand and repeated: "Isn't it a punishment from heaven?"
The demon hunter waved his hand and signaled his subordinate Osmond to calm down and stop doing bad things. He took out a document from his handbag and sent it over using the airflow. He smiled and said: "This is the instruction manual from the headquarters of the Five Elements Alliance!"
The document was fluttering in the wind and flew toward the young man in blue. The young man in blue reached out and took it and scanned it casually. He focused on the text message and checked the official seal of the Five Elements Alliance headquarters. After confirming that there was no problem, he folded the document and put it in his pocket.
, pinched his lips and blew a whistle. Soon there was a rustling sound in the dense forest and the bushes shook violently. Then a colorful giant tiger with a shoulder height of 1.6 meters came out and landed on the road with a thud.
The young man in blue climbed on the tiger's back and ordered the giant ape to return to the jungle. Then he turned to the car and shouted, "Follow me!"
The Banlan Giant Tiger walked leisurely towards the town, and the commercial vehicle followed slowly. Hoover stared at the Banlan Giant Tiger and said, "The ancestor of the Qinghe Department is a local monster, but this person seems to be a wood demon."
?”
Xia Zuo glanced at the computer screen and nodded: "The earth monster and the wood demon are some of the mainstream professions in Qinghe. Among them, the earth monster has a higher status than the wood demon. But the weird thing is that the figure who is comparable to the demigod is the earth monster. Among his descendants
But wood demons appear frequently.
Osmond's eyes lit up as if he smelled the gossip: "Could it be that his offspring is actually someone else's?"
The atmosphere here has not yet opened up to this extent. Xia Zuo shook his head and said: "Do you remember what I just said? There are many medical and voodoo skills passed down by ancient practitioners in the Qinghe tribe. The medical skills should be derived from the wood demon plus
He has lived in the mountains all year round and is proficient in the eating habits of plants, so he is more compatible with the wood demon. It is normal for the earth monsters and wood demons that have lived in the mountains for a long time to appear frequently, and they may not necessarily be related to the ancestors."
"Wood monsters and earth monsters are the most compatible among the five major professions. When they were in the saint stage, many special creature methods were surprisingly consistent, such as mutating plants and manipulating animals." As he spoke, the car arrived in the town.
The number of people suddenly increased, and the Qinghe people either stood by the windows and looked down at the guests coming outside, or stood at the entrance of the courtyard to look at a few naughty children who rushed to the roadside to watch, and boldly spat at the cars.
Osmond frowned, wanting to kill these brats.
As a direct descendant of the Harry family, he is highly regarded by the family elders. He has been praised by many stars since he was a child, and he has zero tolerance for any rude offense, even if the person is a child.
But he was not the kind of playboy who couldn't control his temper. He knew that business was important at this time, so he raised the car window and closed his eyes to stay out of sight.
Soon the young man riding the giant tiger took them to a large villa. This villa had a wide garden, covering an area of 11,000 square meters, and was magnificently decorated.
A main building with a spire and two side buildings are connected by sky bridges.
The young man on the tiger's back shouted: "Clan leader, clan leader...Uncle Agui is here to punish us."
The mixture of thick-accented Mandarin and down-to-earth addresses somewhat undermines the elegance of the villa.
A few minutes later, a young girl wearing a silver crown rode a big mouse to the iron gate and looked at the car curiously. She said in a soft voice: "Brother Tiesheng, have you seen the certificate?"
She looks extremely beautiful, has fair skin, and has bright, clear eyes without makeup. Her face exudes an innocence and simplicity that is far away from glitz.
"After looking at it," the young man said angrily, "Sister Yunmeng, I was careless, but I'm not stupid, you see!"
The young girl glanced at the documents, immediately opened the iron door, and drove the car into the courtyard.
…
"Old Fu Chang, I'm in trouble," Zhang Yuanqing said in a low voice.
He is not surprised that Heavenly Punishment can locate Pluto. Yuanshi Tianzun can obtain enlightenment through stargazing. Of course, Taiyi Sect's Sun Traveling God can do it, and his calculations can be more accurate.
Coupled with the aid of the prophecy realm, a rule-based prop, it would be easier for Tianpu to find the Power King than for him.
Zhang Yuanqing originally thought of making a time difference, taking advantage of Tianpu not knowing that he was also chasing the Power King, and secretly killed this foreign evil professional. Tianpu arrived at the critical time when Pluto was about to fall asleep.
I don't know if it's really such a coincidence, or if the prophecy played a role.
"It's best not to conflict with Tianpu, because the Qinghe branch will not help you, and you will face multiple dangers," Fu Qingyang said lightly.
"I can't help you with this matter, just judge the situation yourself." Capturing Pluto is a private job that Yuan Shi himself took on, and success or failure will not have much impact.
Mr. Qian had so many things to do and didn't want to waste time and energy on such trivial matters. After confessing his sincerity, he hung up the phone.
"It seems I can only work through my own efforts." Zhang Yuanqing sighed. He originally wanted to ask Mr. Qian to come and help, but with such an attitude, he had to give up.
"Do you need help?" The drug chaser looked at his words and knew he was in trouble.
"Of course you need it, just stand by." Zhang Yuanqing suddenly remembered the drug chaser's half-brother.
The level 6 illusionist is a good helper, and the poison chaser, a level 5 swordsman, although he cannot become the main force, is at least a level 5 swordsman. Let’s first inquire about the whereabouts of Heavenly Punishment. Zhang Yuanqing said heartily.
"I'll take the team members out to do some work first." These days, all the team members are on standby waiting for my news. Search Sanyou Novels on Bing or Baidu to be the first to experience it every day.
When the drug chaser left, the demon hunter in the living room of the large villa where the Qinghe Clan's office in Shiwanda Mountain carefully examined Wu Agui, the leader of the clan.
He is about sixty years old with gray hair, wearing a Qinghe-style blue cloth, his face is dark and wrinkled, his figure is tall, and his expression is dull.
At sixty years old, he looks like an ordinary old farmer.
The demon hunter's mind automatically flashed information about Wu Agui, the Qinghe tribe's ancestor Changsun's level 8 earth monster oil.
He has a simple and honest personality but has no temper. He is respectful but not afraid of others and refuses to be controlled. He often behaves arrogantly and domineeringly.
To put it bluntly, he is a good old man who no one is afraid of, so the people around him are extremely domineering and arrogant.
Compared with the clan members of the Qinghe clan, they are more afraid of investigating some of the clan members. Chang is the sixth son of the ancestor, and his power is even higher than that of the clan leader.
The minister was also in the living room at this time, sitting opposite the demon hunter. His name was Wu Youhua, an eighth-level spring god (wood demon) who was about the same age as Wu Agui. His gray beard was tied into short braids, his eyes were sharp, and he was not angry.
Wei, at first glance, appears to be an extremely strong and domineering old man, who is at the opposite end of the spectrum from his nephew Wu Agui.
"That's right," the demon hunter smiled and said, "A wanted criminal from Heaven's Punishment has recently sneaked into Bagui Province. We guess that he may be lurking in Shiwan Mountain."
Wu Agui, the leader of the tribe, said nothing. Wu Youhua, the leader of the investigation department, said in a deep voice: "Tianpu wants us to help search in the mountains?"
The demon hunter nodded: "Yes"
Before Wu Youming could speak, he turned to look at his three subordinates.
The three Osmonds tacitly put the portable safe at their feet on the table and clicked the lock opener.
Stacks of grass-green banknotes were neatly stacked in the box. The demon hunter said sincerely, "Here is a deposit of three million federal coins. After the matter is over, we will pay another five million federal coins as the balance."
"What the Qinghe branch needs to do is to help find people, and to seal off Shiwandaxiang Mountain and prohibit anyone from entering or exiting."
"A total of 8 million federal dollars, according to the current exchange rate, is more than 50 million soft sister coins."
Wu Youpinhua nodded with satisfaction, "Yes, if you need the master to take action, you will have to pay more."
The witcher smiled confidently: "No need!"
At this moment, a harsh cell phone ringtone suddenly rang outside the living room.
Wu Youhua frowned and reprimanded: "Yunmeng!
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Uncle Six, I didn't mean to eavesdrop. I'm leaving now." Yun Meng was at the door and ran away holding her phone.
She ran all the way out of the villa, came to a secluded flower country to answer the call, and whispered, "Yuanshi Tianzun? You actually took the initiative to contact me. You almost caused me to be punished by my sixth uncle just now."
"Sorry, I didn't know something was wrong with you." Yuanshi Tianzun's moving male voice came from over there.
Yunmeng pursed her lips, "It's not a big deal. What do you want from me?"
"Nothing's wrong. I was busy with official duties a while ago and when I had some free time recently, I remembered a beautiful and lovely comrade, so I wanted to say hello. How are you doing?" Zhang Yuanqing said with a smile.
Yunmeng, who had grown up in the mountains since childhood, had never experienced such sugar-coated bombs, and she felt a little happy.
"It's been pretty good lately. I raise pigs, herd cows, cultivate herbs during the day, and watch TV series at home at night. By the way, I'm almost level five, hehe."
"Amazing, amazing. She is the talented girl who braved the cliffs, mountains and seas with me." Zhang Yuanqing gradually stepped up his offensive.
"I have met many female elites in the officialdom, but there are very few who can compare with you."
Yunmeng chuckled and said: "No, Yin Ji is much better than me in terms of talent and strength. You should have a good relationship with her."
"She's a Yin Ji? Haha, I almost forgot about her. I stopped contacting her after settling my share. But it's you who reminds me of her from time to time."
Zhang Yuanqing, who studied under the scumbag Love Saint, knows best what these little girls who are ignorant of the world like to hear.
The smile on Yunmeng's lips widened unconsciously, and she said happily: "You speak so nicely, but I won't be deceived by you."
"I..." Zhang Yuanqing suddenly sighed, "Why did I lie to you?"
"I've been so annoyed lately, maybe I'm going to be ruined."
Yunmeng's smile suddenly disappeared and she asked with concern, "What's wrong?"
"If you are not a Heavenly Punishment person, you will know that our official team failed miserably at yesterday's exchange meeting. That Siren is not satisfied with defeating Mr. Fire and wants to challenge me. You know that I have just entered the sixth level and will definitely not be his opponent. Once I lose,
Isn’t it just that my reputation has been ruined?” Zhang Yuanqing said.
Yun Mengting first snorted with the same hatred and then said with relief, "Don't worry, they don't have time to trouble you."
"Oh? Why." Zhang Yuanqing pretended to be surprised!
Yunmeng lowered her voice and said furtively: "Let me tell you quietly, Tianpu's team is at my house. They just came to our Qinghe branch."
Zhang Yuanqing took advantage of the situation and asked: "Why did Tianpu come to your house?"
"I was eavesdropping on this just now. I said that we wanted to ask us to help search Shiwandashan and help them catch wanted criminals. They also gave us three million federal coins as a deposit."
"Qinghe branch agreed?"
"My sixth uncle agreed. He attaches great importance to money. He said that money is the foundation for ensuring the prosperity of Qinghe. He often tells us this."
"Three million federal coins, please ask the masters of your clan to take action?"
"No, I'm just searching for someone. Uncle Six said that if you do it, you'll have to pay extra."
"Oh, that's it. God's Punishment Dog is really rich." Zhang Yuanqing said casually, "Oh".
Then we chatted for half an hour, and then Yunmeng reluctantly said "Bye" and hung up the phone.
"This is not good!" Zhang Yuanqing scratched his hair and felt anxious in the staff dormitory.
The three women at the table looked at him with complicated expressions like "This guy is good at coaxing women, but why haven't you coaxed me?"
"Stop your inner drama, things are a little troublesome." Zhang Yuanqing forcefully pulled them into the meeting, "Heaven Punishment believes that Pluto can choose Shiwanda Mountain as the place to sleep. This is an idea. The territory of Qinghe Branch
, in a sense, it is the most suitable.”
Annie said, "This is troublesome. The demon hunters have exceeded the limit we can bear. With the help of the Qinghe branch, the success rate of capturing Hades is almost zero."
"So we must come up with a way," Zhang Yuanjing said with a serious face, "come up with a way to keep the Qinghe branch out of this matter."
It is difficult to ask the marshal for help because this is interfering with the freedom of the Qinghe branch and they will protest.
And it will be revealed to the witcher, so the witcher will know to also capture Pluto's rival.
The Queen suggested: "Where can I ask Mr. Fu Chang for help?"
"He won't interfere." Zhang Yuanqing shook his head, but he could ask the Demon Eye King for help. As long as he revealed that it was me who spoke, he would definitely agree. However, the northwest is hundreds of thousands of miles away from here, and the ancient God of War would not be able to escape in time.
Well, you can also find the palace master... Zhang Wuqing just thought so.
I heard Xie Lingxi say: "Look for the palace master sister."
"Who is the palace master's sister?" Anne asked.
"It means one of the harems of brother Yuanshi," Xie Lingxi said.
Zhang Yuanqing gave her a violent shock.
"A musician master." He touched his chin and said: "With the strength of the palace master, it is no problem to drag the demon hunter's head. But if an opponent of the same level appears, he will definitely ask the Qinghe branch for help. The Qinghe clan's
I'm afraid there are quite a few masters. With such a large force, there are always three or four masters."
"I've thought of a way!" Little Green Tea showed a sly smile: "Brother, that Yunmeng is your romantic partner, so she will definitely be willing to help you."
Zhang Yuanqing originally wanted to explain to Guan that when he heard this, he thought, "What do you mean..."
"Ask her to help deceive the people of Heaven Punishment. She will say that she has found traces of Pluto, and then lead the people of Heaven Punishment to circle in the forest. We will take the opportunity to lock in Pluto and arrest and subdue him." Xie Lingxi said: "Tian Punishment.
Even if you know that Yunmeng is a liar, you don't dare to do anything to her on the Qinghe tribe's territory. The only price is that she may be forced to confess you later."
Zhang Yuanqing was greatly inspired and said: "It's a good idea and I'll use a method, but I don't need Yunmeng. I know what to do."
On the second night, the hotel outside the Shiwanda Mountain Scenic Area was quite impressive. Zhang Yuanqingpan was sitting on the rooftop of the hotel with a half-meter-high small earth bag piled up in front of him. On top of the earth bag was an astrolabe made of black iron, which indicated the period of Pluto's sleep.
arrive.
The Qinghe branch is more than 200 kilometers away from Nanming City, a three-hour drive. If Pluto really chooses to sleep here, by the time he reaches Shiwandashan, God may have successfully captured Pluto and returned home.
So he came here in advance to watch the stars in the scenic spot, and if Pluto chose to sleep somewhere other than the Hundred Thousand Mountains, he would have to sleep anyway, and the worst-case scenario would be re-locking, and the members of the Heavenly Punishment who were in the Hundred Thousand Mountains couldn't be faster than him.
.
Zhang Yuanqing opened his eyes, and the bright stars were reflected in his pupils, filling the black velvet night sky.
