"What kind of tea is this? I have never seen tea with such a magical effect. Since it can wash away impurities in the body, where did that kid Shen Ming get such a good thing?"
Duanmu Fang said with praise while sipping the tea.
Principal Xiao smiled slightly. Although Shen Ming, the prodigal son, had defeated his Wuyishan Dahongpao, he would not exchange the returned tea even for a ton of Wuyishan Dahongpao.
The effect of Enlightenment Tea can be said to have shocked Principal Xiao for 30 years. It can not only refresh the mind, but also wash away impurities in the body. This effect is very friendly to old comrades like them.
"Who knows? There are so many magical things about that kid, this is nothing. This time when I went to the Imperial Capital, so many things happened again... Duanmu, are you really not going to take care of it?"
As Principal Xiao was talking, the conversation suddenly changed.
"I knew that you, an old man, would definitely not share such good tea with me. If so, how could I care? You really think I am omnipotent, just let it develop, and the trouble will always end in the end.
Someone will come out to clean up the mess. The sky cannot fall. If even I can't keep calm, then the impact of this matter will be really great!" Duanmu said calmly and without any expression.
"I don't dare to go back to Pearl Academy now. That boy will definitely be waiting for me in front of the principal's office. Can I say that I don't know anything? Can that boy believe it? How should I explain to him? Old man, the Lu family is like this
What exactly is the situation, can you tell me the truth?"
Principal Xiao frowned, no longer hiding it, and told what he really wanted to know.
"Some people seek their own death, and no one can stop them. Lao Xiao, you don't need to get involved in this matter. Whatever the four people in the Demon City are doing recently, it will be easy to investigate with your methods.
Those in the imperial capital have been closely connected with them recently, and I can only tell you that there are many people involved in this matter. But it may not be detrimental to us!"
There was a hint of cruelty in Duanmuzheng's eyes. This always kind and peaceful old man was probably serious this time. As for what he had done, not even Principal Xiao could guess.
…
"The Lu family is destroyed. Since it is kept secret, the mastermind behind it must not dare to make the matter bigger. It seems that there will be no more trouble in a short time!"
Shen Ming was guessing in his mind that the Lu family and the Mu family were definitely not the same group as the people who destroyed the family. There should be no internal strife. Even if the Mu family and the Guan family knew something, they probably only knew it temporarily.
Otherwise, why would the three families conspire to trap Shen Ming?
These aristocratic families are very fond of doing things. Even if Nan Rong Ni committed suicide and there is evidence that he did not die from thunder magic, they would definitely have a way to fake it.
But now there is no movement at all, which can only mean that a very strong force has intervened and interfered with the plans of the Mu family and the official family.
This may be a good thing for Shen Ming, buying him some time.
"I hope it's still too late!" Shen Ming murmured to himself.
…
…
On a desolate hill, a team of more than a dozen people, who seemed to be on a scientific expedition, climbed onto the hill. Looking around, there was no grass growing as far as the eye could see.
"This ghost place is so scary to be haunted! The sun is so bright, but it still feels chilly."
One of the young people said jokingly. He held the map taken by the satellite in his hand and compared it repeatedly, seeming to confirm the position.
"It would be great if it was haunted. I have been researching for most of my life, just to understand what the natural phenomenon of "thousands of people" is and why it is possible to preserve images from thousands of years ago. Unfortunately, after so many years, there is still no progress.
.And it is really a ghost, which can be regarded as solving my doubts for so many years.
After passing Baiqitai, there is a valley ahead! Let’s drive as much as possible during the day. After dark, the temperature here will drop sharply. We are not fully prepared this time. If we lose time, we will be in trouble. Try to get there early in the day.
Come back before dark." The old man in the leader looked like a professor, wearing gold-rimmed glasses. Looking at the desolation in front of him, he couldn't help but frown.
They are not here for tourism, and even they themselves don’t know what they are here for. They are just entrusted by their employer, and they are more like leading a group tour.
Thinking of this, Professor Song couldn't help but look at the middle-aged man walking at the end of the team. He had been wearing a mask and refused to show his face.
They are a serious scientific expedition team. It stands to reason that it is a shame to receive such a tour-like order. But there is really no way. Life is so cruel. A penny can stump the heroes. The offer given by the other party is too much.
too much.
"Don't worry, Professor Song. We have been to this place so many times. Although we have found nothing, nothing will happen to us. Not even monsters will come to this place where birds don't poop."
The young man smiled and didn't seem to care too much.
"I hope so! Be careful and arrive at Killing Valley as soon as possible and go back early. This is the ancient battlefield after all, where the God of Death Bai Qi killed 400,000 Zhao soldiers. So there was no danger for us to come here before, but I don't
I know why I feel something is different this time." Professor Song adjusted his glasses. Although he had some bad premonitions in his heart, he has come so far now and can no longer regret it.
After resting for a while, everyone continued on their way. The middle-aged man who had been walking at the end of the team, the employer of this journey, had been playing with a small black bead in his hand, staring at the desolate scene around him gloomily.
"Does this place really have what the owner is looking for?" the middle-aged man muttered to himself.
…
The sun was setting in the west, and the temperature had dropped to below zero. The scientific expedition team all put on the warm clothes that had been prepared long ago. However, the warm clothes seemed to be of no use, and everyone's lips turned purple from the cold.
"Damn it! I'm lost at this time, and the temperature is getting lower and lower!" The young man who was holding the map before finally panicked. So far, no one has been able to survive the night in Shagu.
When they came for scientific examinations before, they conducted experiments on chickens and sheep and used professional scientific instruments for testing.
I found this place to be very strange. The animal body temperature data detected on the instrument obviously showed normal, but all I found the next day were animal corpses, and various evidences showed that the death was caused by hypothermia.
There were also exiled criminals who fled here. Without exception, they were all frozen to death in the valley when they were found the next day.
These factors have led to the notorious reputation of Shagu. It should be a rare place that is not sparsely populated due to the chaos caused by demons.
