”A strange thing？”
Ye Qiu hurriedly asked, “What kind of strange thing？ Tell me specifically.”
Tang Fei said, “I can’t explain it clearly in a few words. You’ll know when you come to Changbai Mountain and take a look. By the way, Ye Qiu, do you have time these two days? Can you come to the Northeast?”
Ye Qiu replied, “I’m already in the Northeast.”
”Oh？” Tang Fei was a little surprised. “Was it the Military God who informed you？”
”The Military God didn’t contact me. I came here to handle some matters.” Ye Qiu said. “Lao Tang, send me the specific location. I’ll come over with the old guy.”
”So Long-browed True Man has also come？ That’s great. Maybe Long-browed True Man can help with this matter.” Tang Fei then asked. “Where are you now？”
”We just got off the plane and are still at the airport.” Ye Qiu said.
”You wait at the airport. I’ll send someone to pick you up right away.” After saying that, Tang Fei hung up the phone.
Long-browed True Man asked, “Was that Tang Fei’s call？ What does he want you for？”
Ye Qiu didn’t hide anything. “Tang Fei encountered a very strange thing in Changbai Mountain and wants to ask us to go over and help.”
Changbai Mountain？
After hearing Ye Qiu’s words, a hint of unease appeared in Long-browed True Man’s eyes and then disappeared in a flash.
”Old guy, the destination of our trip is Changbai Mountain. Tang Fei also said that there is a strange thing in Changbai Mountain. Could this have anything to do with the important matter you want to do？” Ye Qiu was a little worried and said.
”We can’t manage that much. Let’s go to Changbai Mountain and take a look first.”
The hint of unease that appeared in Long-browed True Man’s eyes just now was actually because he was worried that the strange thing Tang Fei encountered would affect the matter he wanted to do.
They waited outside the airport for twenty minutes.
Twenty minutes later, a jeep with a military license plate stopped in front of the two of them. The driver was a young man in a camouflage uniform.
“Mr. Ye, Daoist, I have come to pick you up by order of the chief. Please get in the car.”
After the young man finished speaking, he opened the rear door of the car.
“Thank you.” Ye Qiu thanked and got on the jeep with the Long-browed True Man and left the airport.
The car moved forward all the way.
Ye Qiu asked： “How long does it take to get to Changbai Mountain from here？”
“Not long.” The driver looked ahead and replied while driving： “Probably two hours！”
Damn, two hours and still say it’s not long？
The Long-browed True Man bumped Ye Qiu with his elbow. Ye Qiu looked at the Long-browed True Man and saw that the Long-browed True Man winked at him.
Ye Qiu understood and asked the driver： “Tang Fei told me that you encountered a very strange thing in Changbai Mountain. Is it true？”
“Hmm.” The driver’s face became solemn.
“Tell me about it.”
“Sorry, Mr. Ye. Without the chief’s order, I can’t disclose it to you.”
The Long-browed True Man scolded the driver： “You brat, why are you so ignorant？ Ye Qiu is from your Hades Hall. Don’t you know？ His rank is much higher than yours.”
The driver said apologetically： “Sorry, the chief has ordered that this matter cannot be leaked to anyone.”
“If the two of you want to know, when you arrive at the camp, you can ask the chief in person.”
“Please forgive me.”
“You—” The Long—browed True Man still wanted to scold the driver, but was stopped by Ye Qiu.
“Forget it, you know the rules of the Hades Hall. Don’t make things difficult for him.” Ye Qiu persuaded.
Hmph！
With a cold snort, the Long-browed True Man leaned back in his seat and closed his eyes to rest.
However, Ye Qiu was thinking. Although the driver didn’t say the specific matter just now, the driver said that Tang Fei had given the order and this matter could not be leaked. This was enough to show that the strange thing that appeared in Changbai Mountain was not simple.
What exactly was the matter, so strange that Tang Fei had to ask him to take action？
Couldn’t so many people in the Hades Hall handle it？
Ye Qiu’s heart was filled with curiosity.
The car drove forward.
Half an hour later, it drove out of the city and entered the mountain path.
On both sides of the road, there were colorful wildflowers blooming. Because there were few vehicles on this road, the wildflowers formed a beautiful scenic line.
Youdaoplaceholder0, an endless stretch of foot of the mountain appeared.
Looking up, there were lush trees growing on the foot of the mountain. The colors of the leaves were green, yellow or red. Under the sunlight, it was very beautiful. The forest sea was like a spread- stretching as far as the eye could see.
Ye Qiu only felt relaxed and happy.
At this time, the Long-browed True Man, who had been closing his eyes to rest, opened his eyes, turned his head and looked out of the car window, pointed to the distant foothills and said, “That is Changbai Mountain.”
“Changbai Mountain is one of the top ten famous mountains in China and also a dragon vein.”
The imperial family of the Qing Dynasty even respectfully called it as the ‘Holy Mountain’. Youdaoplaceholder0 such as Kangxi, Qianlong and Jiaqing of the Qing Dynasty all came here in person to offer sacrifices.”
“This mountain is not only very large, but also has a lot of treasures inside and is full of mystery.”
The driver who was driving interjected and said, “What this Taoist priest said is right. There are indeed a lot of treasures in the mountain, such as century-old ginseng, century-old ganoderma lucidum, Manchurian tigers, etc. By the way, have you two heard about the matter of the Golden City？”
A flash of light passed through the eyes of the Long-browed True Man, and soon, it returned to normal.
Ye Qiu asked, “What Golden City？”
The driver said, “When I was a child, I heard the old people in the village say that there is a city made of gold in Changbai Mountain, which is worth a lot of money. In the early days of the founding of the People’s Republic of China, the relevant national departments organized an archaeological team to go deep into Changbai Mountain to find this Golden City.”
“However, in the end, none of the members of the archaeological team came out. There was no sign of life or death.”
“As for whether the Golden City is true or false, there is no result in the end.”
“For a while, there was a lot of discussion in the village. Some people said that Changbai Mountain is a dragon vein, and there are gods who guard the dragon vein inside. Others said that there is the Yellow Great Immortal in Changbai Mountain, with monstrous magic power, and he ate all the people in the archaeological team. Anyway, there are all kinds of sayings.”
“Later, a small part of Changbai Mountain became a scenic area, and most of it was listed as a forbidden area, guarded by the mountain patrol team, and outsiders were not allowed to enter.”
“One is to protect the virgin forest from being damaged, the second is to prevent poachers from poaching precious protected animals, and the third is for the safety of the common people.”
The Long-browed True Man asked, “No one is looking for the Golden City now, right？”
“No, the Golden City is just a legend. Besides, the people from the archaeological team who went in didn’t come out either. Who would dare to go?” The driver said, “The Changbai Mountain area has a large area and few people. Coupled with the numerous legends in the past, it has endowed this place with a lot of mysterious colors.”
“Just like two years ago, someone said that a water monster appeared in Tianchi of Changbai Mountain. After this rumor appeared, many newspapers and media reported it one after another, causing many people to wait by Tianchi for the water monster. But until now, no one has really seen the water monster.”
Ye Qiu asked, “The strange event you encountered this time was in the forbidden area of Changbai Mountain？”
“This…” The driver hesitated for a moment and said, “Mr. Ye, you’d better ask the chief when the time comes. We’re almost there.”
The car continued to move forward.
After more than an hour.
“We’re here.”
After the driver finished speaking, the jeep stopped.
