Old man Zhong Yong is suspected of taking a strange thing and living a second life, which caused a great disturbance among the people who knew the secret underground.
What can people say? This old guy just doesn't move. Once he starts, he will be as powerful as thunder. He is definitely going for life extension!
He is over a hundred years old, but he still says that he can't bear to leave his children and doesn't want to leave the world.
Among the important figures of the chaebol, he has the strongest obsession. He often sighs that the world is so gorgeous and he really wants to live another 500 years.
This matter has a huge impact, and all parties are paying attention and studying it.
Recently, major organizations have suffered great losses, and expedition teams have been destroyed one after another. The pensions they received are so cold that they themselves feel chilled.
Now that old Zhong has fought against the sky, some old guys have been deeply touched and can't sit still. If they can restore their youth, who doesn't want to take a chance before they die?
Some chaebol controllers are studying the photo, looking carefully with a magnifying glass, and are sure that old man Zhong has grown thick short black hair.
His wrinkled face has also grown up. He is about to cross the age of 40 or 50. He is really living a second life!
A group of old men in their 70s and 80s felt disgusted. The more they looked at this photo, the more they felt that old man Zhong deliberately swung his long legs to show who?
On weekdays, when they visited old Zhong, he always looked like he was about to die. He lay there covered with the unicorn skin dug out from the ancient cave to prevent the loss of life.
"Old man Zhong has no good intentions. He tempted us to go to the secret place and wanted to kill a group of people!" Someone gritted his teeth and finally sighed: "Although I am scolding him, I am really tempted!"
A big shot went to visit the Zhong family, but was told by Zhong Changming that old Zhong was not feeling well and needed to recuperate. He could not see guests in the near future.
Now there is no doubt that Zhong Yong has come back a long time ago!
Wang Xuan looked at the photo of old Zhong carrying a super battleship and ran away, and was speechless. This old man is ruthless enough. He is changing his fate against the will of heaven, and he succeeded.
He looked at the original picture and estimated that the lifeboat weighed at least a thousand pounds. Seeing that Old Zhong ran so freely and took such a long step, he must have at least the strength of a master!
Is this the power gained after taking the strange things, or is Old Zhong himself a master?
The Zhong family has various secret books, including the highest secret chapters of Taoism. If he is really a top master in the field of old arts, Wang Xuan is not surprised at all.
"He is more than a hundred years old, and his neck is buried in the loess, but he is still fighting so hard. What reason do you and I have not to work hard? Fight, break free from the shackles of fate, and the road to immortality is right in front of you!"
Wang Xuan was very calm, but found that the crowd was boiling, all kinds of passionate words came out, and a group of people shouted to go to the secret place to change their fate.
"Life is so rough right now, and the future is so bright, what reason do you and I have to waste time? Get ready, sign up!"
A group of people were excited and clamored to join the Xinyuan expedition team.
Wang Xuan was not infected by their emotions, but when he saw the photo of Lao Zhong, he was indeed a little uneasy.
Lao Zhong, who was over a hundred years old, dared to enter the Jedi and risked his life carrying the lifeboat. Now he wanted to book a boat ticket overnight and run away, thinking that the major organizations were too cruel, and the secret place was a killing pit, and he wanted to be more stable.
Is he not as aggressive as a dying old man?
Soon, he calmed down again and deeply realized that Lao Zhong's turmoil was not over, but just the beginning, and it would ferment to a very terrifying level.
Even he was emotionally fluctuating, let alone those old men in the major organizations who had only a few years to live, who would definitely dare to gamble everything!
And some young people in the chaebols, those who are enterprising, also mostly want to take a chance in the secret place.
"The fuse, a photo of Zhong Yong, more blood will flow in the secret place."
Wang Xuan was sure that from now on, some people from the chaebols would come to the secret place in person, and for safety, more explorers would be brought along.
In fact, his guess came true. On the morning of the next day, he received several calls, all from top organizations. All parties raised the advance payment again, recruited soldiers at sky-high prices, and prepared to enter the secret place again.
Obviously, after Old Zhong made trouble, he was just sitting back and watching the wind and clouds rise, smiling as he watched other old men get ready to move.
Soon, someone from Xinyuan sent a contract to Wang Xuan online and asked him to take a look, saying that the expedition team would still only recruit 21 people this time, and the number of places was limited.
Wang Xuan received the document and said he would consider it.
He took a rough look at it. The advance payment of 4 million new star coins was indeed a lot, but it was a life-threatening money. If it was not done well, one person would die in the deep space.
In addition to the advance payment, there was a free warship escort for round trips, and the collection of rare objects would be split 50-50. This was the most basic clause.
The person in charge of Lao Chen's secret organization in Yuancheng was quite touched after receiving the contract sent by Wang Xuan online. He sighed: "This is a complicated era. Compared with ancient times, the status of practitioners has plummeted. They need to gamble their lives for the future. A long journey in deep space is like tossing a coin. The front and back sides determine the fate."
For a large organization, four million new star coins are just the money for two tickets, which is nothing.
...
Wang Xuan strolled in the community, thinking about some problems. After not seeing each other for many days, he saw Lele again today.
She was sitting on a bench under the shade of a tree, holding a palm-sized snow-white kitten in her arms, talking to herself.
"I often fainted from pain recently and can't go to school anymore. I may die, but why hasn't my father come back? He won't be able to see me later." She was very disappointed, hugged the kitten tightly, lowered her head, and tears welled up in her eyes.
Wang Xuan stood behind her and did not interrupt her thoughts. He sighed in his heart, the little girl was really pitiful.
The last time she had an attack, she was in so much pain that her forehead was covered with cold sweat, but she didn't cry. She even stretched out her little hand tremblingly to help her mother wipe her tears and comfort the adults.
Now when she is alone, she has not had an attack for the time being, but she has shed tears. It can be seen that the little girl is also very sad, but she is too sensible to show it in front of adults.
"Huanhuan, when I die, bury me in the woods by the Zhou River, what do you think?" The little girl lowered her head and talked to the kitten in her arms. Tears were already falling. She whispered: "My mother and I have agreed that every year when the stars and fish fly all over the night sky, she and my father will come to see me. In fact, I really want to see them every day, and I don't want to be separated from them. But I am afraid that they will be sad, so I made an agreement with her that they will come to see me once a year at this time."
Wang Xuan stood behind and couldn't move his feet. The little girl was precocious, and now she was still worried that her parents would be sad in the future. These words really made people tremble with their hearts, and they were so sensible that it was heartbreaking.
"I was afraid that they would miss me in the future, so I asked my mother to give birth to a younger brother to accompany them. But, as the years go by, will they forget me?" The little girl's tears fell on the kitten. After wiping them away, she said, "Huanhuan, in the future, when you hear someone say that the star fish has appeared, you must remind them to go see me, and you must go too. I will miss you too."
"Meow!" The palm-sized kitten cried softly in her arms.
"They think I don't understand, but I know everything. I understand that I will die soon, maybe next month." The little girl Lele hugged the snow-white kitten and couldn't help crying. She sobbed softly and said, "I can't bear to leave you."
"I'm actually very scared. I'm afraid of lying alone by the Zhou River, and I'm even more afraid that everything will disappear after I die, and I will be completely gone." The little girl looked into the distance and said, "Before I die, I want to donate my eyes and corneas to others. The eyes of the indigenous people are the most spiritual and can see farther. Our genetic diseases will not affect the eyes. I want to donate to a child who is about my age, so that she can come to help me see my mother occasionally..."
At this point, she was very depressed, tears fell, and she whispered, "I haven't seen the sea yet. My mother said that it's too humid there, and the sea breeze is not good for my sick body. I want that child to go and see it for me. I have been staying in Yuancheng and can't travel far. The child who gets my cornea in the future will see everywhere for me, see the world..."
Wang Xuan sighed. He really felt sorry for the little girl. He felt distressed when he heard those words, but he could not help.
After a long time, the little girl Lele calmed down, wiped away her tears, and stared at the clouds in the sky.
Only then did Wang Xuan walk over and greet her, and then chat with her, telling some old stories.
Obviously, the little girl was willing to chat with people and liked to listen to stories. The big and small chatted quite speculatively.
"Is your mother at work? Is there no one to take care of you?" Wang Xuan was a little worried. What if the little girl suddenly got sick?
"There is an intelligent robot aunt not far away. I want to talk to Huanhuan alone, so I didn't let her come over just now." After saying this, she asked: "Uncle, did you go to see the star fish last time?"
Wang Xuan nodded and said: "I went to see it. It was very shocking and very beautiful."
"Will you go to see it next year?" The little girl asked hopefully.
"I will go again. I will go there every year in the future because it is so beautiful and gorgeous there." Wang Xuan nodded and said.
"That's great!" The little girl's eyes shone brightly.
Wang Xuan said goodbye to her and walked a long way. She was still watching from behind.
Not long after, Wang Xuan's phone rang. It was an unfamiliar number. He guessed that it was another call from those big organizations, contacting him to go to the secret place.
After he answered the call, he said directly: "Another appointment in the secret place, right?"
There was a brief silence over there, and then a nice female voice rang: "Have you made many appointments recently?"
This tone did not sound like a customer service, and it sounded familiar. In an instant, he knew who it was. It was Zhao Qinghan. How did she know that he came to Xinxing?
In an instant, he realized that it must be Qin Cheng, the big mouth, who let it slip. He only told Qin Cheng, who was an acquaintance, his mobile phone number in Xinxing.
"Qinghan, I was just about to contact you. I'm new to Xinxing and I'm unfamiliar with the place. I wanted to ask you to take care of me, but I'm a little embarrassed and have been delaying until now. I'll treat you to dinner some other day."
"Hypocrisy." Zhao Qinghan hissed at him.
When she contacted Qin Cheng just now, she asked about Wang Xuan's situation in Jiutu. She vaguely felt something strange on the other end of the phone, so she immediately said, "Which city is Wang Xuan in Xinxing? Give me the phone number."
She was so sharp and did not play by the rules that she stunned Qin Cheng. As soon as he hesitated, Zhao Qinghan was sure that Wang Xuan had come to Xinxing.
She asked Qin Cheng to tell her Wang Xuan's contact information and called Wang Xuan directly.
Qin Cheng put down the phone, was distracted for a while, and immediately contacted Wang Xuan to tip him off, but found that the other party was on the phone.
He sighed, "The goddess is really advanced, and her reactions are super fast."
"You are in Yuancheng, let's go out for lunch at noon." Zhao Qinghan said, quite straightforward, not allowing him to make excuses
Wang Xuan's brain was working at high speed, thinking about how to decline Zhao Qinghan's invitation to join the expedition team, and how to explain if he appeared in a secret place after refusing, if he was known or met.
So, he was a little distracted, and heard the words: "Xiao Zhao..."
"What did you call me?!" It can be felt that the goddess Zhao's voice has risen a little.
"Goddess!" Wang Xuan didn't feel embarrassed at all, and changed his words directly.
"You never called me that in school, call me again." Zhao Qinghan said calmly.
"Goddess!" Wang Xuan was quite natural, and calling her one more time would not lose a piece of meat.
At noon, in a restaurant in the central business district of Yuancheng, Wang Xuan and Zhao Qinghan sat face to face.
The place Zhao Qinghan chose was not a top-floor restaurant, but the environment was still good. According to her, the food here was quite good and she liked it better.
"Is your home near Yuancheng?" Wang Xuan asked.
Zhao Qinghan shook her head: "No, every time I go to Yuancheng to see the star fish, I will come to this restaurant."
In summer, she dressed casually, a T-shirt, a slightly longer pair of hot pants above the knees, her white legs were dazzling, and she was wearing quite cool.
Although her clothes were simple, she was unusually pretty, attracting some people to look over here from time to time.
She had shoulder-length hair, a white face, very beautiful eyes, clear and bright, red lips with luster, a delicate face with a slightly cold and beautiful look, and a sweet smile.
Hearing her talk about star fish, Wang Xuan's heart moved. He was worried that she would mention the secret place. He sighed softly and said, "Speaking of star fish, I met a child who made people feel distressed and sad."
Zhao Qinghan glanced at him, saw through the essence of the problem directly, and said, "You are afraid that I will talk about the secret place, so you tell me a story right away."
"No, you wronged me. You must know the aborigines. That little girl is so pitiful..." Wang Xuan said it very seriously, and said all the words that the little girl said to herself.
Zhao Qinghan sighed softly: "The five diseases of heaven and man."
Wang Xuan asked: "Are there such people among the descendants of the chaebols who married the aborigines in the past? Is there a special medicine now?"
Zhao Qinghan nodded and shook her head. There are such people in the Wu family now. She told Wang Xuan that there is no cure, but there is a medicine that can slightly relieve it.
"Wu family?" Wang Xuan was surprised. Is there such a person in Wu Yin's family now?
"Even the 'slow-acting medicine' is extremely rare and needs to be picked in the secret place. The two patients are very important to the Wu family, but their conditions are very bad now. They hope to go to the secret place to collect more amazing things to relieve their pain or even cure them."
After hearing this, Wang Xuan immediately understood why Wu Chenglin ran to the old land and wanted Chen Mingtu to come out in person. He was in a hurry to save people.
Then, he looked at Zhao Qinghan. The girl mentioned it casually and turned to the secret place again.
Zhao Qinghan glanced over and said, "Don't worry, I don't plan to take you to the secret place. It's too dangerous. I'm afraid I can't protect you well."
Wang Xuan looked at her. This girl didn't follow the script. Does this mean that if he really went to the secret place, he would need Goddess Zhao's protection? !
