CHAPTER XVII

With such thoughts, I once again didn't know what to ask Xiao Chengqian, but Xiao Chengqian didn't allow me to speak, and said directly: "There is something in the pool, I suggest you don't go down." ”

"What do you mean?" I was stunned, this is a brainless thing, does Xiao Chengqian know more than us?

"Literally, it's not very convenient to talk on the phone, Chengyi, did you listen to me?" Xiao Chengqian's voice was slightly anxious and tough, and that tone did not allow me to refuse at all.

Isn't it a good thing to have something in the pool? At least it's a good thing for me.

However, since Xiao Chengqian said that it is not convenient to talk about it on the phone, no matter how stupid I am, I guess there is some listening equipment on this phone, right?

So I didn't ask too much, and I could only say to Xiao Chengqian very directly: "No way, I have to go down." ”

Xiao Chengqian over there was silent for a while, and then said: "Okay, then you wait for me, my master, that is, my grandfather was taken away by your master, and I also have a reason to participate in this operation." ”

After saying this, Xiao Chengqian hung up the phone, making me look at the phone, a little stunned, why did Xiao Chengqian come? How did he find out about our operation? It's not a top-secret operation, but we don't spread it out everywhere, right?

"Who is it? What's going on? After I hung up the phone, Chengzhen couldn't wait to ask.

I glanced at Tao Bai and Lu Shan, their expressions were flat, and I couldn't see anything, but at this time, Tao Bai's phone rang again, he glanced at the phone, and called Shang Lu Shan to go to the side with him to answer the phone.

It wasn't until they were far away that I said quietly and urgently: "That phone call just now was from Xiao Chengqian, and he said that he was here to participate in our operation. The point is, he knew there was something under the pool, and he told me not to go down. ”

"What?" Everyone's first reaction was this, obviously my doubts were also their doubts, and it wasn't that I hated Xiao Chengqian, nor did I resist him to participate in this operation, after all, everyone knew that Xiao Chengqian and I were friends in a sense, but all this was too inexplicable when I thought about it.

We didn't dare to discuss anything presumptuously, because Tao Bai and Lu Shan could come back at any time, and all kinds of scruples and distrust must have caused this oppressive situation, and as we guessed, they had only been gone for less than 5 minutes, and they had already returned.

Sitting down, Tao Bai glanced at me lightly, and then lowered his head, as if he was a little embarrassed and said: "The operation has been leaked, because of your identity, there are many people who pay attention to you, and what the specific consequences will be, I can't predict it for the time being." As for the phone, it's because there are spies in the department. ”

After saying that, Tao Bai stopped talking, but lowered his head, and took a big bite of what he was holding, and I took a sip of water, thinking to myself what is this? If there is a leak, the consequences are unpredictable, and if there is a spy in the department, send it to me?

However, their answer also illustrates the problem from another side, the phone is definitely being monitored, otherwise the department would not have reacted so quickly, contacted Tao Bai and Lu Shan, at least before they left, I didn't say who called, what to do?

Thinking of this, I sneered and said directly to Lu Shan: "Is there a monitoring in the telephone department?" What does that mean? Sending two entourages is not enough? Still have to listen to phone calls? Anyway, you know the content of the call, so someone will come to join us in a while, do you have any opinions? ”

There was some sarcasm in my tone, and in my heart, even if they had an opinion, how to act, we would still act and would not be subject to them.

When I say this, it obviously also arouses the anger of Brother Chengqing and Brother Chengxin, this feeling of being monitored is not very good, but it is Huigen'er who doesn't care, his mind is simple, you don't monitor it, what should I do or what I do, as long as it is not something outside the precepts.

As for the three girls, only Ruyue tilted her head and said to me: "Third brother, you are really stupid." The implication is that it was expected.

In the face of my questioning, Lu Shan's expression did not change, as if for him, it didn't matter what kind of relationship he had with us, he just needed to fulfill his profession, he said slowly: "Whoever wants to join your action, we will not interfere, as long as it does not harm the interests of the country and the department." As for the surveillance, it is also for your safety, as I just said that the consequences of the leak of the operation are unpredictable, but we have also made a prediction of the worst consequences, that is, your actions this time will become an action that will be watched by a certain circle. ”

After saying this, Lu Shan looked at me deeply, and he didn't speak, but sat straight and looked at the scenery.

It's a very official answer, but it's also very informative, at least I can draw a conclusion from his words, that is, our actions this time may have been noticed by the entire circle of cultivators.

Oh, damn it, I sneered in my heart, it won't be our own people who leaked the secret, you just exposed it lightly, and you also made a grandiose excuse for spying on us.

But even so, in the face of such an old-fashioned mechanical Tao Bo and on the road, I had no choice but to temporarily suppress the anger in my heart and calm myself down. Who is the spy and hasn't found out yet?

After resting for about half an hour, we continued to move towards the mountain, and before leaving, Ruyue asked me, "Don't wait for Xiao Chengqian?" ”

"No need to wait, he said he would come, and it would definitely appear." I said lightly.

When we arrived at the X pool, it was in the afternoon, although we were not here to visit the mountains and rivers, but the beautiful scenery along the way also shocked us, and the X pool has long been famous, we saw a lot of photos of the X pool before departure, until we really arrived at this place, only to know that there is a beautiful scenery, a photo is not enough to shoot its shock, only if you really stand in front of it, you know what is called the magic of nature.

The Tianchi is the most beautiful in summer, the lake of the whole Tianchi is like a turquoise gem inlaid in the surrounding mountains, and the reflection of the blue sky and white clouds emerges in the lake, adding a bit of smart color to this gem.

I took a deep breath and looked at the entire circular hillside, some of which were bare of the earth, while others were covered with green grass, mixed with pale white and yellowish wildflowers, mixed with the original earthy color of the earth, and there was a sense of vicissitudes and distantness.

I stood on the top of the highest slope, and suddenly I felt that I was very small between heaven and earth, and I immediately understood the artistic conception contained in the sentence of looking at the world and the eternal swan song of solitude and tears.

"The real X pool is a volcanic lake, the terrain at the bottom of the lake is a bit complicated, and because it is the border between the two countries, it is still quite troublesome to explore, I hope you can gain this time." Just when I was standing on the top of the peak in a daze, feeling the magic of nature, Lu Shan suddenly ran in front of me and said this.

After finishing speaking, he looked at me, his eyes were quite meaningful, which made me inexplicably irritable, I always felt that this road was not simple, this look was the second time it appeared, the first time it appeared was when he gave me a high-sounding lecture before.

I avoided his eyes and didn't speak, and my attitude was not too friendly, but Lu Shan didn't mind, and suddenly said to me again: "I really hope you have a harvest." ”

I turned my head and was about to say something, but I found that Lu Shan had already turned and walked towards Tao Bai, and he didn't look at me again at all.

For his words, I frowned slightly and thought about it, but I didn't come up with any results, so I didn't bother to care, anyway, I didn't care about him.

We had to wait until after 11 p.m. to act, and the reason for this was naturally because of the sensitive terrain of Pool X, and I was bored anyway, so I took out some bait, took out a bamboo tube, and began to feed the fat silkworms that Ruxue left for me.

To really exert the terrifying 'combat effectiveness' of this fat silkworm, it is necessary to plant Gu, because there has always been a saying in Miao Village that the real 'Gu King' and 'Spirit Gu' must coexist with human beings, and human aura and essence blood can truly support it.

However, I can't grow Gu, because I'm not from Miao Village, I don't have the qualifications to inherit Ruxue's natal Gu, I can only keep it as a thought of my own, and I didn't take it back, it's all Yueyan Miao Village that gave me face as an 'old friend'.

Seeing that I was feeding the Gu worms seriously, Ruyue came over and sat down next to me, she said: "Third brother, you feed this little guy well, he is fat for nothing, but unfortunately he can't grow Gu, otherwise it should grow"

Speaking of which, Ruyue stopped talking, after all, what kind of form this fat silkworm will develop into is the secret of their village, and it is inconvenient to tell me more.

"In the old forest, sometimes when I was resting, Ruxue told me how to raise this little guy, how to get along, and what to pay attention to. I didn't expect this little guy to help me fight or anything anyway, I just kept it as a pet and let it stay with me. As I spoke, the fat silkworm had crawled out of the bamboo tube, and its little head was rubbing back and forth in my palm, and it looked very close to me.

That cute look made me can't help but have a smile on the corner of my mouth, Ruyue also smiled, and said, "I didn't expect it to approve of you." ”

"Or else? It must have thought that Ruxue had abandoned it, so it was so close to me, the new owner, otherwise it would have nothing to eat. I said quietly, Ruyue didn't speak.

Before the beautiful view, the passage of time seemed to be unimportant, and when I felt the cold and approved clothes for myself, I realized that it was already the middle of the moon, and the sound of footsteps sounded far behind me
