Two men in black looked at each other, and one of them entered the depths of the hot spring pavilion.
Another person bowed and said: "Team Leader Asano and Yuan Shijun please wait a moment!"
As he spoke, he carefully examined the so-called "Yuan Shijun". It was unbelievable that the famous and peerless genius of the Five Elements Alliance was actually a tall and heroic woman?
Although she is wearing sunglasses, it is not difficult to tell from the contours of her face, the curvature of her chin, and her pale and sexy lips that she is a beauty.
While the man in black was amazed, the companion who reported the news hurried back and bowed:
"The team leader and several deputy team leaders have been waiting in the museum for a long time."
While saying this, he made a "please" gesture.
Asano Ryo immediately took Zhang Yuanqing inside, passed through the flower-filled courtyard, entered the building, and walked along the Japanese retro corridor. Soon, the two stopped outside a tatami room.
In the room next to the door, there was the laughter of men and women drinking and having fun, as well as the sounds of pipa and snare drums.
Are you deliberately engaging in excessive drinking and debauchery at this time to hint to me that the Qianhe Group is confident and capable? Zhang Yuanqing wondered in his mind.
"Team leader, Yuan Shijun is here." Ryo Asano bowed at the door.
The laughter and the sound of musical instruments in the room stopped, and then, the door slowly slid open, and a young woman with high hair and wearing a kimono opened the door for the two of them.
The light in the room poured into the slightly dim corridor, and Zhang Yuanqing could clearly see the scene inside.
Tatami mats cover the entire room, and six low tables are arranged in an orderly manner. The tables are filled with various Japanese delicacies. Men in kimonos sit cross-legged lazily, slumped in front of the tables, surrounded by young and beautiful women.
A woman in kimono sits cross-legged obediently, holding a wine bottle in her hand.
The first person, Kobe Ichiro, is about fifty years old, with a square face, thick eyebrows, a high nose and sharp eyes, and a majestic face.
This person's Life Palace is bright and shining, and his destiny is extraordinary. He is a hero. The Yuan Palace is chaotic and obscure, indicating serious flaws in marriage, social interaction, and interpersonal relationships. However, his Friends Palace is bright, indicating that he has many close followers and is a leader who can convince his subordinates. That question
It's because of marriage
A dim palace indicates that the children are incompetent or have no heirs. Combined with the situation of the marriage palace, this Kobe Ichiro should be a type who is not interested in women and family, and is dedicated to his career.
Hidden by his sunglasses, Zhang Yuanqing generously activated astrology, and through facial reading, he gained a deeper understanding of Kobe Ichiro, the leader of the Qianhe Group.
Kobe Ichiro was also looking at Yuanshi Tianzun who had come from afar. When he saw that it was a corpse coming, he nodded with satisfaction:
"Yuanshijun, you are a noble warrior, please take a seat!"
In fact, Princess Yinyao is much more powerful than me. Zhang Yuanqing sat down calmly and said, "Nice to meet you, Team Leader Kobe!"
The voice is hoarse and ugly, and the vocal cords seem to have been severely injured or damaged.
Asano Ryo knelt down beside him and poured the wine consciously. She had experienced many such occasions. Every time her father hosted a banquet for Ryuzaki Kazu at home, she would sit next to the teacher and pour the wine.
When the senior management of the Chizuru Group gathered for dinner, she was also responsible for pouring the wine.
Of course, it will be different in the future. When she becomes the deputy leader, she will also have a beautiful sister in kimono to pour her wine.
Zhang Yuanqing sat upright and knelt in front of the case, listening to the team leader Kobe Ichiro introducing the four deputy team leaders, and Asano Ryo was responsible for translating.
"Ryuuzaki Kazu, swordsman, Liang-chan's teacher, leads the picket department of the Chizuru Group."
Ryuzaki Kazu is a rigid and serious middle-aged man, with droopy mouth corners and no smile on his face. He just nodded slightly as a greeting.
"Watanabe Yoshita, the only mountain god of the Chizuru-gumi, is the person in charge of Watanabe Real Estate Company, a subsidiary of the Chizuru-gumi."
Watanabe Yoshita is short in stature, about 1.65 meters, but he is the strongest among everyone present, with big shoulders and a round waist. In addition, he has the typical temperament of a country monster - dull.
"Onodera Yosuke, the alchemist, leads the Chizuru Group's think tank."
A gentle man wearing a kimono and glasses, drunk, holding the woman next to him up and down, looking a bit like a gentle scum.
"Gujun Fujin, Fire Demon, Director of the Executive Department."
A rugged middle-aged man with a beard around his mouth, a long scar on his left cheek, and a mouth full of yellow teeth, he looks like a gangster brother.
Gujun Fujin laughed and said: "Yuanshi Tianzun, you don't have the Yin Corpse anymore, you actually sent a woman here, you don't look like a man."
Watanabe Yoshita and Onodera Yosuke burst into laughter.
Kobe Ichiro looked at Yuanshi Tianzun calmly and did not stop the cadres from their disrespectful behavior.
Zhang Yuanqing looked at Asano Ryo beside him: "What did he say?"
Asano Ryo looked embarrassed and translated into Chinese, and added in a low voice:
"This is the character of Deputy Team Leader Gujun. He is not mocking you. Well, he is indeed mocking you, but he has no malice. Well, he does have malice, but, but"
But he is a fire master, and fire masters deserve to be beaten. I understand, but it is somewhat meant to suppress me. Zhang Yuanqing muttered in his heart, and raised his hand, indicating that Asano Ryo did not need to explain.
The old-fashioned negotiation method. Zhang Yuanqing silently took out the trumpet and shouted angrily: "Bagaya road!"
It shocked everyone present.
Zhang Yuanqing said loudly:
"We have to carry out a mission related to the future of the Qianzuru Group, but you are here drinking and having fun. Look at how dissolute you are now. As a senior member of the Qianzuru Group, don't you feel ashamed!
"I took this action very seriously. For this reason, I didn't even drink a sip of wine for three whole days and only drank Coke every day.
"As a warrior with noble moral character, I am very disdainful of your behavior."
After scolding him, he turned to Asano Ryo and said, "Translate for them."
Asano Ryo was a little frightened at first, fearing a conflict between Yuan Shijun and the cadres of the Chizuru group, but after listening to it, he felt that Yuan Shijun was indeed a samurai with noble moral character, so he translated loudly into the island language.
The cadres of the Qianhe Group were stunned for a moment. They opened their mouths to speak, but could not utter a word to refute.
These words are so righteous and stand on the moral high ground, making it difficult for people to refute, just like the male protagonist in a hot-blooded comic.
The spacious room suddenly fell into silence.
Asano Ryo whispered:
"Yuanshijun, you are so amazing."
Is it awesome? I learned it by watching anime. Zhang Yuanqing silently complained.
"Ahem!" Kobe Ichiro cleared his throat and waved:
"You guys get out first!"
The musicians sitting in the corner playing instruments and the girls accompanying them at the table stood up and bowed down.
The cadres also put away their carefree demeanor and sat down on their knees.
After waiting for people to leave, Kobe Ichiro said solemnly:
"Yuanshijun, can you let us see the key?"
"Of course!" Zhang Yuanqing carried the backpack at his feet to the table, opened the zipper, and took out a jade plate as big as a bowl.
The eyes of the cadres of the Chizuru Group were like screws attached to a magnet and could not be moved away.
Kobe Ichiro breathed a sigh of relief, nodded with satisfaction, and asked:
"Yuanshijun, do you know the legend of Gao Tianyuan?"
Several deputy team leaders sat on their knees with their backs straight and looked at the corpse wearing sunglasses. No one said anything, their eyes were sharp and calm.
Here he is, trying to test whether I know the hidden story behind the First Emperor sending Xu Fu to sea. If I didn't know, they would probably change their strategy and prevent me from entering Gaotianyuan. After listening to Asano Ryo's translation, Zhang Yuanqing said calmly:
"As a graduate of Beijing University, my historical level and ancient prose skills are pretty good. I still know the totems of the Qin Dynasty. When the First Emperor sent Xu Fu to the island country, it was because there were treasures here. Xu Fu was unwilling to return to the Central Plains and stay in the island country.
This is also the reason why Amaterasu came to be."
Kobe Ichiro and the deputy team leaders looked at each other, put away their luck, and said with emotion:
"Historical books say that the First Emperor sent Xu Fu eastward to the Immortal Island in search of the elixir. This should be wrong, because both Xu Fu and the First Emperor have become dust in history."
After Asano Ryo translated, Zhang Yuanqing said in a hoarse voice: "Chief of the Kobe team, what the First Emperor sent Xu Fu to find may be the elixir of death."
"If the elixir is real, how come Xu Fu is still dead? You, a top student at Beijing University, really study hard." As soon as Asano Ryo finished his translation, Furutsu Fujin laughed loudly.
The alchemist Yosuke Onodera pushed up his glasses and said:
"Gu Junjun, don't rush to a conclusion, listen to Yuan Shijun's wise opinion."
Seeing everyone watching, Zhang Yuanqing said in a hoarse voice:
"You are all saints. You should have learned about the existence of ancient practitioners through the dungeon. Since ancient times, there have been a lot of demigods, but has anyone seen any demigods alive in this world?
"Then why were the ancient monks unable to live forever and died one by one?"
Onodera Yosuke said slowly:
"Demigods have a limited lifespan. They can live forever but are not immortal. In addition, the ancient spiritual power is exhausted, and they are gradually unable to make ends meet. The demigods are also unable to maintain their status, so they all perished."
Zhang Yuanqing asked back: "What if the first emperor sent Xu Fu to look for a treasure that can survive spiritual exhaustion? For him, this is the elixir of death."
After Asano Ryo translated, the cadres were thoughtful.
Kobe Ichiro nodded slightly and praised:
"Yuan Shijun is right. Your rich knowledge of the spiritual realm is admirable."
Onodera Yosuke nodded repeatedly: "It's a good idea, I will write it in the paper."
Kobe Ichiro straightened his back and said in a deep voice:
"Since the birth of the spiritual realm, as the level becomes higher and higher, more and more secrets are unearthed. Walkers from the two regions discovered that the spiritual realm can be traced back to the mythical age. Myths and legends reflect the ancient supernatural beings to a certain extent.
The history of able people.
"So, a century ago, the Chizuru Group began to study the mythology of their country, and combined with many clues, they believed that the true identity of the supreme Amaterasu was an ancient superpower, and that Takamagahara really existed.
"But Gao Tianyuan is too mysterious, and there is no historical record of its location. According to myths and legends, it is an island floating on the sea and in the clouds. After many years of research, there is no harvest. Opposition gradually emerged in the Qianhe Group.
It is foolish to think that Gao Tianyuan has been lost in history or has become a spiritual realm, and it is foolish to waste manpower and material resources to find Gao Tianyuan."
He took a sip of wine and continued:
"Because there were too many opponents and the current situation was turbulent, the investigation of Takamagahara had to be suspended. It was not until 1955, when the key to Takamagahara was unearthed, that we were truly sure that Takamagahara really existed and had not returned to the spiritual realm.
"But at that time, the entire Chizuru Group had been controlled by Heavenly Punishment and turned into puppets. The senior management at the time chose to tolerate it and did not restart the plan to find Gao Tianyuan.
"After decades of hard work and perseverance, the Chizuru Group regained its dominance step by step. The Heavenly Punishment's control over the Chizuru Group weakened, and the previous leader secretly launched a plan to find Gao Tianyuan.
"Huangtian has paid off. After countless speculations and verifications, we have found Gao Tianyuan."
Having said this, he waved his hand.
The wooden door behind him slid open automatically, and outside was a large courtyard. There was a hot spring pool in the courtyard. Even in the middle of summer, you could see the steam rising.
Zhang Yuanqing glanced across the yard and looked into the distance, where he could directly see the majestic Mount Fuji.
Kobe Ichiro did not look back, stared at Yuanshi Tianzun, and said slowly:
"The island floating on the sea of clouds refers to Mount Fuji. The white snow on the top of the mountain is like clouds in the sky."
Sure enough, it was there. Zhang Yuanqing asked:
"Have you never thought that Takamagahara would be on Mount Fuji before?"
"We have been surveying Mount Fuji since the last senior, but it is too big and has extraordinary significance to our country. We must be cautious when surveying it and beware of agents of divine punishment, so the progress is very fast.
Slowly." Kobe Ichiro said:
"A week ago, Mr. Watanabe excavated Mount Fuji and finally found the legendary Takamagahara."
The mountain god Watanabe Yoshita then said:
"I found a huge stone sculpture in the middle of the mountain, about fifteen meters high, in the shape of a bird, with three claws and one eye. The eye is sunken and has no eyeballs. The size and pattern are exactly the same as it. It belongs to that bird.
Eye."
His eyes looked at the jade plate in front of Yuanshi Tianzun.
Kobe Ichiro added:
"We suspect that the stone sculpture is the entrance to Takamagahara. As long as you return your eyes, you can open the passage to Takamagahara."
Zhang Yuanqing cleared the food and wine on the table and said:
"I think the legendary Takamagahara should be more attractive than these delicacies."
He was reminding the cadres of the Chizuru Group that it was time to take action.
Kobe Ichiro, however, sat still and his expression became serious:
"Yuanshijun, before entering Gaotianyuan, we need to discuss the distribution method.
"We have already paid the reward for retrieving the key, so the Qianhe Group will account for the majority of the things in Gaotian Yuan. I have thought that the things that the First Emperor desires must belong to the Qianhe Group.
"If it is a resource, you can share it with you. If it is a prop, it must be controlled by the Qianzuru Group, and we will give you corresponding compensation, such as one of the three major artifacts."
"Are you sure that the three artifacts are in Gao Tianyuan?" Zhang Yuanqing asked.
"The three major artifacts that exist in the world are all mortal objects. If they are as powerful as the myths, they must be props. Therefore, the real ones should be hidden in Takamagahara." Asano Ryo explained.
Zhang Yuanqing nodded and said:
"Can!"
He was not afraid that the Qianzuru Group would go back on their word, because if the other party dared to break their promise, he would immediately report it to the headquarters.
From the perspective of the Qianhe Group, as long as they can control the treasures, appropriately give up the benefits, and appease Yuanshi Tianzun, it is completely cost-effective. They are the ones who are most afraid of overturning the table.
In addition, Zhang Yuanqing also had another task during his trip, which was to study the connection between Gao Tianyuan and the hidden mission of Qin Feng Academy.
He also didn't want to turn the table over.
Immediately, Kobe Ichiro took out a brass book, which was a tool for the knight profession. The Chizuru group purchased a large amount of money from the Heavenly Punishment Organization.
The two parties signed the contract under the witness of the brass book.
Then, Kobe Ichiro and others changed their clothes in the house, pretended to be mountaineers, left the hot spring resort together, and took a bus to Mount Fuji.
It was midsummer, and the temperature at the fifth station was still not high, around 5 degrees Celsius.
Along the way, Zhang Yuanqing saw many scenic spots, buildings, as well as an endless stream of tourists, private cars and buses coming and going.
If you have time, you can bring your aunt or Guan Ya to play. He murmured in his heart.
Of course, he was not keen on traveling, so he just turned around and forgot about it.
As you climb Mount Fuji, you gradually get away from buildings, tourists, and there are fewer and fewer people.
After breaking away from the crowd, they no longer limited their speed and ran at high speed in the mountains. The higher they went, the fewer the plants. After ten minutes, they stopped in the area near "Baitou".
There are no plants here anymore, and as far as the eye can see, there is only dark brown soil and rocks.
The destination has arrived.
As a mountain god, Yoshita Watanabe squatted down and said loudly:
"I'm about to open the passage. It will probably fall two to three hundred meters. This depth is a challenge that cannot be ignored even for a saint. Please protect yourselves."
As the words fell, the ground beneath everyone's feet collapsed, revealing a bottomless pit.
After a group of seven people fell into it, the hole closed automatically, like a monster closing its mouth.
Dark and lightless, falling rapidly, Gujun Fujin threw fireballs downwards, illuminating the dark pit and bringing light to everyone.
In the blink of an eye, the bottom of the passage is in front of you.
Kobe Ichiro reminded:
"be prepared."
Swordsman Ryuzaki grabbed his katana and prepared to use the weapon as a pickaxe to slow down his fall.
The alchemist Yosuke Onodera took out his jetpack in a panic.
Just as everyone was busy preparing to land, there was a sudden "Woo" sound from the bottom of the pit, and a terrible hurricane blew up. The wild and powerful airflow offset the gravity of the fall, allowing everyone to fall smoothly like light leaves.
"call!"
The fire demon Gujun Fujin raised his palm and ignited a fireball to dispel the darkness.
Everyone looked at Yuanshi Tianzun's hands. There was no doubt that this was a wind mage's prop.
To be able to stir up such a strong wind, the quality is not low.
When everyone was examining the Windbreaker's gloves, Zhang Yuanqing's eyes penetrated the darkness and saw clearly the scene at the bottom of the pit.
This is a huge grotto, with hard rocks and soil intertwined. Right in front stands a huge stone sculpture with giant wings spread out, three legs growing on its abdomen, and its feathers carved into the shape of flames.
It has only one eye, and there is no pupil in the eye socket, but a sunken round hole, and the pattern inside the hole is exactly the same as the disk.
Seeing this statue, a mythical creature - the three-legged golden crow - flashed in Zhang Yuanqing's mind.
"Yuan Shijun!" Kobe Ichiro stepped forward and stood side by side: "Open Takamagahara."
Zhang Yuanqing said "hmm", took out the disc from his backpack, and dissipated into a dreamlike starlight.
The starlight rises again from the top of the stone sculpture.
Star Escape Technique? She, isn't she an Inferi? Seeing this scene, the faces of several team leaders changed slightly.
Zhang Yuanqing took out the disk, jumped into the eye socket of the stone sculpture, and embedded the disk in it.
