We rushed to the airport early the next morning and got off the plane in Jiamusi. After getting off the plane, we chartered a car directly to the small county marked on the map.
Behind the small county town are deep mountains and old forests, which are endless.
Of course there is no way to enter the old forest at this time, so we can only find a place to stay first.
After opening the room, Xiaobai and Vixen walked out with the big black dog, saying that it was rare for them to come to this remote small county and they wanted to go out for a walk and see the customs and customs of this place between white mountains and black waters.
Vixen Yuqi winked at me, and I knew what she meant.
There must be a lot of great immortals in this deep mountain and old forest. This is their territory after all. As a new arrival, the vixen decided to say hello to those guys first.
Now that she has become an eight-tailed fox demon, she is so powerful that those great immortals will give her some face.
Don't expect those guys to help find the dragon vein, as long as they don't cause trouble.
I came to the room and scanned the illusion of the room.
The living environment in this remote small county town is naturally not as good as the big hotels in big cities, but fortunately, it is relatively clean.
I don't have high requirements for comfort, as long as I can make a decent living.
At this time, Zhang Zhong also opened the door and walked in, then made me a cup of tea and placed it respectfully in front of me.
I picked it up, took a sip, and nodded.
I still feel a little guilty about Zhang Zhong, after all, this guy was used as bait by me to escape life and death.
Although I finally got a literary background, I got a lot of benefits.
But I still feel a little sorry for him.
Although everything is fine with the law enforcement team now, Zhang Zhong cannot continue to do so due to his shady identity.
"Sir, do you know the specific location of the dragon vein?"
Zhang Zhong looked at me and asked carefully.
"There is only one map, I don't know anything else." I answered directly.
Hearing my words, Zhang Zhong was a little surprised and was stunned.
"By the way, you have been in the world for so many years and have seen a lot. Take a look at this map. Can you find where the dragon vein is?"
I said, taking out the map and waving to Zhang Zhong.
Zhang Zhong hurried over, put his head on the map, and frowned for a long time.
"How is it?" I looked at Zhang Zhong and asked him.
Zhang Zhong smiled at me with a trace of apology on his face, and then said: "Sir, although I have seen many maps, the drawings on this map are too sloppy, and the specific location is really unclear.
I’m sure.”
Zhang Zhong's words did not surprise me. After all, I had never seen this map before.
Zhang Zhong said that the map was drawn in a sloppy manner. This was meant to sound nice, but in fact, the map of the underworld was really poorly drawn.
There are no specific coordinate references or proportions at all, just the direction of a mountain range, and then a red dot is circled in the middle, indicating that that place is the location on the dragon vein.
To be honest, when I saw this map for the first time, I was really speechless. I even wondered if that grandma was playing tricks on me.
You know, this kind of map, even if the needle clicks on it, it is still a large area, especially in the deep mountains and old forests, it is even more troublesome to find.
"I can only determine a rough direction on this map. The location of the dragon vein can be within a hundred miles."
At this time, Zhang Zhong spoke again.
Within a hundred miles...
Hearing his words, I felt a deep sense of powerlessness.
Searching for the dragon vein within a hundred miles radius in such deep mountains and old forests is not much different from finding a needle in a haystack.
But now that I’m here, I have to give it a try no matter what.
We also have vixens and big black dogs following us. Maybe they will be able to sense the breath of the dragon vein by then.
"Okay, take this map and study it carefully. We will set off tomorrow."
At this point, I paused and said to Zhang Zhong: "Thank you for your hard work."
After hearing my words, Zhang Zhong was stunned for a moment, then his eyes turned red and he almost cried.
"Sir, what are you talking about? It's my honor, Zhang Zhong, to be able to serve you. Not to mention the hard work, I won't hesitate even if it means I am ruined, sir!"
Zhang Zhong looked at me with fervent eyes, and then showed his loyalty.
This guy gave me a chill, and goosebumps immediately appeared on my body.
"Get out of here!"
I waved my hand at him angrily.
Zhang Zhong wiped the tears from his eyes with one hand, and then walked out.
In the room, Zhang Zhong took the map and studied it carefully. Zhang Zhong was very excited now.
Just now Master Yinggou actually told him that he had worked hard, and Zhang Zhong almost cried.
What kind of existence is Master Yinggou? He was once the master of the underworld, and he is destined to become the master of the underworld again. But today, the master actually told him that he had worked hard. How could Zhang Zhong not be moved?
Now Zhang Zhong feels that the most correct thing he has done is to surrender to Master Yinggou. When Master Yinggou returns to the underworld, he will truly become famous.
I am an old man who follows adults, Master Yinggou will definitely not treat me badly.
Thinking of this, Zhang Zhong became even more motivated and stared at the map. Time passed minute by minute and unknowingly it was already ten minutes in the morning.
Zhang Zhong rubbed his eyes and finally put down the map. After several hours of hard work, Zhang Zhong had narrowed down the area where the dragon vein was located. This was really something to be happy about.
Zhang Zhong stretched and stood up, then walked to the window.
It's early in the morning. Although this is a small and remote county in the Northeast, the nightlife is still quite lively. The wind blows in the tempting smell of barbecued food from outside the window.
Zhang Zhong, who had been busy for several hours, could not help but move his index finger as he smelled the fragrance in the air.
I have long heard that the barbecue in Northeast China is a must-have. Since I have already been here, I might as well give it a try.
Thinking of this, Zhang Zhong opened the door and walked out, came to my door, and knocked softly a few times.
"What's the matter?" Through my breath, I sensed that Zhang Zhong was coming.
"It's nothing, sir. I want to go down and play some skewers. Do you want to join me?" Zhang Zhong's voice sounded at the door.
"No, you can go alone." I said to Zhang Zhong.
I generally don't have the habit of eating too greasy food at night, so although the smell of the barbecue outside is indeed tempting, I still have no intention of going there. Instead, I want to take a shower and sleep.
After hearing what I said, Zhang Zhong looked slightly disappointed. After all, eating skewers alone just lacks some meaning.
Zhang Zhong walked directly down and followed the smell to a barbecue stall not far away.
Arriving at the stall, Zhang Zhong ordered some skewers, ordered beer, found a table and sat down.
Not long after, the kebab beer was served.
Zhang Zhong rubbed his mouth full of meat, then took a sip of beer and burped with satisfaction.
People say that Northeastern skewers are good, and after eating them today, they certainly deserved the reputation.
It's just a pity that I can only enjoy such a good barbecue by myself, not even anyone to drink and brag about.
Zhang Zhong glanced around while eating and drinking.
The people who came to have barbecue at such a late hour were all in groups of friends, and there was basically no one.
Zhang Zhong sighed, it seemed that he was the only one in this stall.
But the next moment, his eyes froze and he turned to look at the table behind him.
There was only one customer on that table. The man ordered a few skewers and a bottle of beer and was pouring himself a glass of beer.
It was a middle-aged man wearing a black suit, who looked quite friendly.
Feeling Zhang Zhong's gaze, the man looked up at Zhang Zhong, nodded gently, and smiled at him.
Zhang Zhong also smiled at him, then waved his hand and said: "Brother is also a person. If you are interested, come and join us at the table."
When the man heard Zhang Zhong's words, he smiled again, then stood up and walked over with his own wine and barbecue plate.
"Come on, brother, we are destined to meet each other. Come and sit."
Zhang Zhong took out a cigarette and handed it to him, then asked him to sit down.
"Hey, boss, here's the food."
Zhang Zhong first lit a cigarette for himself and turned to greet the boss.
The other party also had a cigarette in his mouth. Zhang Zhong came over and helped him light it.
"call…………"
"call…………"
Zhang Zhong saw that the other party actually smoked the cigarette without spitting it out and swallowed it.
"Fuck, brother, you smoke so fiercely."
"Haha." The other party smiled and said, "I don't usually smoke."
"Then don't learn it. It's not a good thing to learn. The harm of this thing is actually not as bad as poison. But to be honest, quitting smoking is not easier than quitting gambling.
Because it’s not expensive anyway, and it won’t kill you.”
"Come on, let's go together."
The two clinked glasses together,
Then drink it all in one gulp.
“Comfortable and refreshing, I still think the skewers from the Northeast are the most delicious and suit my taste the most.”
The other party also laughed, but his smile was very reserved.
At this time, Zhang Zhong's lighter fell to the ground. Zhang Zhong bent down to pick it up and found two boxes of batteries wrapped in plastic film next to his feet. They were of various sizes, specifications, and models.
"Brother, why did you buy so many batteries? Are you in this business?"
"No, I don't have electricity at home, so I bought more."
"Oh, then the living environment in your hometown is too bad. The houses here are not expensive. There are resettlement houses that sell for several hundred per square meter. If you buy one here, at least there will be no electricity or water, and your family will also be
Take it over and live here."
"There are many people at home, so it's not very convenient. I'm also busy at work and don't have time to live here."
"Oh, there's nothing we can do about it. Every family has its own problems. When it comes to work, I also had a job before."
"Oh? What job?"
"It can be considered a civil servant, but you know, the leaders above are too stupid, and everyone is like a second-rate person. Later, I really lost my ability to work, so I resigned and went to work as an individual, hanging around with those stupid people, there is no future.
, I don’t know how he died.”
Zhang Zhong actually didn't lie. He used to be an underworld agent and was considered a civil servant. Now that he can't do the underworld job, wouldn't it be the same as being in the sea?
As for the leaders above him whom he was cursing, they were of course those guys from the Yin Division, as well as the Ten Palaces of Yama and the like.
"Oh." The man nodded slightly.
"Oh what, cheers, drink, although I resigned, I am doing well now, there is no regrets!"
Zhang Zhong said, picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.
