Chapter 263 Ancient Legend
Zhongli Yuanjing walked over quickly, picked up two record books, and looked at them carefully. One was the personnel attendance record, and the other was the report record of personnel traveling on a business trip.
If there was no deliberate comparison, no one would notice the time difference between the two documents.
"It seems that this layman Lan may have been contaminated with something without knowing it."
No one doubted that there was something wrong with Jushi Lan's identity. Even if there were some internal fights among their staff, to openly harm their own people was to openly declare war on the Special Administration Bureau. No one would do that.
With the clues, the investigation was quick, and soon they heard the so-called legends from the mouths of some old herdsmen.
A long time ago, there was a very special small country here. They never had contact with outsiders.
The spiritual leader of the small country is the goddess. Whenever the small country encounters a disaster, the goddess will use God-given treasures to help the people solve the trouble.
The people living in this small country are very happy. They can even live in harmony with the animals. It is simply the most beautiful place in the world.
Until a strange man broke into this small country, the goddess fell in love with this man, and finally stole the small country's treasures for this man.
The people of that small country and the creatures living with them were punished by heaven and all died unexpectedly.
At that time, the entire sky turned red, and there was even a huge angry eye in the sky. From then on, the original location of the small country became a cursed place.
Regardless of whether they are people or animals, they will disappear as soon as they get close to it. If no one is alive or dead, no corpses are seen, the place becomes a restricted area.
Until many, many years later, there was a very powerful old Taoist priest who didn't know what he had done. When someone saw him again, he only breathed his last breath.
The kind-hearted herdsmen complied with his request and buried him at the place he designated. Only then did the place return to normal, and no one remembered the legend.
After the old herdsman finished speaking, he said mysteriously: "I never let my children, cattle and sheep go there. My ancestors said that the evil people in that place want to eat people.
In other words, you are the ones brought by the leader. Otherwise, I wouldn’t even tell you this, so you must not go there. ”
The people in the Special Administration Bureau were really speechless at this moment. If they hadn't been insiders themselves, they would have been really frightened by the atmosphere created by the old herdsman.
But the old herdsmen were very enthusiastic and wished they could stay for three days and three nights.
"Master, how credible do you think what the herdsman said just now is credible?"
Zhongli Yuanjing is the owner of a museum and has seen many stories that were unexplainable at the time but were passed down.
When he heard someone asking him for advice, he thought for a while and said: "No matter how credible it is, at least it is a clue. Check it out first!"
This time, each of them brought enough things with them to go to places that the old herdsmen had said before that they must not go.
Suddenly, a series of distant and crisp bells rang. Zhongli Yuanjing stopped and looked at the people behind him: "Did you hear it?"
Others looked at Zhongli Yuanjing in confusion.
"Master, what are you talking about?"
"Everyone is on alert! The enemy has appeared!"
Although the others didn't quite understand why, they listened to the advice and everyone took out their most powerful magic weapon.
A burst of smoke drifted over, as if they had suddenly entered the fairyland.
They didn't hear the ringing just now, but they could see the smoke in front of them, and everyone's heart was in their throats.
At this moment, a childish voice with a hint of schadenfreude exploded in their ears.
【Here comes another group of delicious food, once you come, you can’t leave~】
Zhongli Yuanjing's expression changed. He couldn't even notice where the other party was. He secretly thought it was not good. He quickly said to the person behind him: "The opponent's strength is unknown, retreat quickly!"
Unfortunately, it was too late, there was no one behind him.
Before coming, he actually had doubts in his heart about what kind of enemy could be able to kill Yun Ran and the others without leaving even a single clue.
Now, he seemed to understand that once he entered this place, it was really impossible to guard against him.
Those missing tourists and herdsmen's cattle and sheep may have been just bait specifically for people in their Xuanmen at the beginning.
Master Lan could discover something was going on here, but he could still leave smoothly and go back to report it, and then bring more people here, just to deliver food.
These people are now considered the second batch of dishes.
Fortunately, they had this suspicion before, so only ten people came this time.
If they also disappeared, people outside would be able to confirm their previous suspicions.
In Xuanmen, there are many masters, and they will definitely find a perfect solution. Even if they sacrifice, it is meaningful.
Yunran, who had closed his eyes to rest, suddenly opened his eyes and looked in the direction of his left hand.
There, lying Zhong Lisu who had been knocked unconscious by her, a gust of wind rushed towards his head.
The Gangfeng was extremely fierce, as if it had a huge hatred for Zhonglisu and wanted to tear him into pieces.
The speed was also very fast. At least Yunran felt that if she had not prepared in advance and blocked it with all her strength, she would definitely be injured.
The Sky Thunder Orb suspended above them was just emitting sparks of electricity when the strong wind was about to hit Zhong Lisu.
A very thin streak of thunder separated from the sky and faced Gangfeng head-on.
There was a loud "Bang!"
The collision brought up a huge wind, which blew Yunran down, and he fell to the ground in a state of embarrassment.
Zhong Lisu was even thrown up and hit the ground hard.
"Ah~"
Zhong Lisu was knocked unconscious, her butt was broken into four pieces, and she finally opened her eyes in pain.
Fortunately, this time his eyes were no longer as blank as before.
Zhong Lisu looked at his tied hands, got up and limped towards Yunran.
"What's going on?"
As soon as he asked, he suddenly remembered what happened before when he briefly woke up and asked Yun Ran to run away.
I quickly looked around and found that the surrounding area was very quiet, except for some wind noise. There was not even the sound of insects in such a large piece of grass.
All this made Zhong Lisu feel a little uncomfortable.
His eyes looked at Yunran with some hope, hoping that Yunran could give him the answer he wanted.
As a result, he saw Yun Ran looking at him with a strange expression on his face, and a hint of ridicule in his tone.
"Oh, it's so rare to wake up. If I had known earlier, I would have let the thunder strike you."
