Chapter 103 The old cow with slap marks on his face

After the aerial vehicle traveled outside the scope of Wutong City, it tended to stabilize, landed from the air, and quickly moved forward close to the ground.

Although Wutong City is the financial center of the two provinces, it has not been developed close to the Kongtong Mountains. Therefore, the farther you go, the more beautiful the mountains and waters are, with green grass and canopy of trees.

Occasionally, you can still see small animals scurrying through the grass, very fast, agile, agile and elegant.

The middle-aged guide turned back and whispered:

"The Kongtong Mountains are extremely vast, and at least half of the area has never been visited by anyone. Unless we travel day and night, we won't be able to reach the center of the Kongtong Mountains in a day or two."

While speaking, Lu Xuan raised his head and asked calmly:

"By the way, are there any Taoist temples or palaces in the Kongtong Mountains?"

The guide was stunned for a moment, thought for a moment, and then said:

"Indeed, there are. On the main peak in the center, I remember there are Taoists, but outsiders are not accepted there."

Lu Xuan nodded and didn't say anything more. He just looked at the young couple from time to time.

Whether it is his own inference, analysis, or the revelation of his innate spiritual awareness, he is told that this line of work may be full of twists and turns.

The behavior of Xu Lindao and Xu Qingqiu was too strange. The former was suspected to be from Sakata Heavy Industries, and he had frequently met Tianren Travel from Sakata Heavy Industries just now, and he seemed to be searching for something.

If you guessed correctly.

While Lu Xuan was thinking, the middle-aged guide sitting at the front spoke again:

"Today we will go to the edge of the Kongtong Mountains. It will take tomorrow or the day after tomorrow to reach the center. There happens to be a small town on the edge of the Kongtong Mountains. It is extremely unique. You can experience it."

"Oh?" The person who asked was the young man who was standing next to the lady before. He seemed to be a nephew, about twenty years old.

He asked curiously:

"Unique? How unique?"

The guide thought for a while and explained:

"It is not in line with the secular world, and there are no technological products or anything like that. The residents of the town have lived there for generations, and few people come out."

After a pause, he said again:

"So there are still some ancient charms there. Experts have investigated and said that the town already existed in the Old Calendar Era, or even before the Old Calendar Era, and was not affected by the Three Wars. Unfortunately, there are no historical materials, documents, etc. Save it."

Lu Xuan's heart moved slightly, is there such a place?

It's quite interesting.

The noble lady Zhong Muhua also asked curiously at this time:

"What's the name of that town?"

"Gou Xian Town."

"What? Dog Fairy Town? Are dogs respected in this town?"

"No, no." The middle-aged guide smiled bitterly: "It's not that dog, it's this dog."

He gestured on his palms and continued:

"These remote towns always have strange names, not to mention this town is even more unique. There is indeed a big obedient black dog in the town. I even brought a bone for it this time."

Zhong Muhua nodded in understanding and didn't ask any more questions. The carriage quickly fell into silence, with the only sounds of Xiao Yan and Zhong Xiaoyu gnawing chestnuts.

One takes small sips and enjoys it happily, while the other stuffs big handfuls into the mouth, making the tender little face bulge.

"Xiao Lu, open your mouth!"

Yan Jiangxue swayed her two little feet leisurely, grabbed a carefully peeled chestnut with her soft little hands, and put it into the boy's mouth.

She ate them slowly one by one, but she stuffed them into Lu Xuan's mouth eagerly. After a moment, Lu Xuan and Zhong Xiaoyu next to her were almost the same, their faces were rounded by chestnuts.

He was a little dumbfounded, but he didn't say anything. He just quietly enjoyed Xiao Yan's feeding. Outside the car window, the mountains and rivers were stable, the forests were long, the streams were clear, and the sunshine was just right.

Everything is just right.

The float car was driving slowly, Zhong Muhua was bored with Zhong Xiaoyu in his arms, and immediately started chatting with Lu Xuan:

"You two are not locals from Wutong City, are you? Why do you suddenly want to go to the Kongtong Mountains? That place is not very famous."

Lu Xuan smiled and said politely:

"Well, I found out about it by chance. My friend and I came right away as soon as we put it together. It happened to be during the summer vacation."

Zhong Muhua nodded, pointed to the two young men sitting in front of him, and said:

"Although I am from Langya City in Fucheng, my natal family is in Wutong City. These two are my natal family, one is my nephew and the other is my younger brother."

In the front row, young men who looked about the same age turned back with polite smiles on their faces.

"Zhong Dacheng."

"Zhong Muchuan."

At this time, Zhong Muhua smiled again and said:

"Our family's surname is Zhong, and my family's surname is also Zhong. Where are you, Xiaoxuan, from?"

"Coming from Donghai City." Lu Xuan replied with a smile: "Actually, after our summer vacation, we should go to Langya City to study in college."

"Oh?" Zhong Muhua became interested: "It's a coincidence. Let's leave a phone number. When you come, let me know and I will entertain you well."

Lu Xuan didn't refuse and exchanged mobile phone numbers with the lady.

Several people also became familiar with each other, and started chatting. Xiao Yan didn't say much, but quietly watched the young man talking nonsense with a few people, with a touch of joy on his face.

While chatting, Lu Xuan looked at the couple named Xu who had been silent, his heart moved slightly, and he asked tentatively:

"You two should also be natives of Wutong, right?"

Xu Lindao turned around belatedly, pointed at himself in confusion, and then said:

"Well, Xiaoqiu and I are both from Wutong City."

"I saw that you two were very eager to leave today. Is this it?"

Before Xu Lindao could speak, Xu Qingqiu on the side straightened his hair, exposed his slender neck, and explained in a soft voice:

"Well, we have things to do in a few days. If we set off again tomorrow, including the time for the return trip, it will be a little too late, so I have to rush a little bit. I'm sorry."

Lu Xuan didn't say anything, just smiled and waved his hand.

Time passed little by little, and when the sun began to set in the west, the float car finally slowly stopped.

"We've arrived!" the middle-aged guide greeted: "We've arrived at Gouxian Town. Because we have to respect customs, we won't drive in. It's said to be a small town, but it's actually not big."

Everyone didn't say why and got out of the car. It was already approaching sunset, the sunset was scattered messily on the horizon, and the late evening wind was blowing, so it didn't look hot.

After getting out of the car, Lu Xuan noticed that the couple kept looking back nervously, looking in the direction of Wutong City, and he felt more certain.

These two people are probably closely involved with Sakata Heavy Industries, and they seem to be escaping from something on this trip.

If my guess is correct, the two of them will not get on the return car.

While thinking, Xiao Yan pulled Lu Xuan's sleeves in surprise and said softly:

"Xiao Lu, Xiao Lu, this town is really unique."

Lu Xuan looked up and saw that the town did not look big. It was filled with wooden houses similar to those in the former shantytowns. The best ones were just brick houses. They looked very ancient and almost made him feel like he was back in a dream. .

There is a big stone at the entrance of the town. The words "Gouxian Town" are crookedly engraved on the stone. Next to the stone lies an old black dog that looks very old and listless.

"Big black!"

The middle-aged guide seemed to be very familiar with the old black dog. He shouted hello and approached him with the bones in his hands.

The old black dog glanced at him slowly, then glanced at the bones in his hand, and shook his head in a very humane manner, as if he was disdainful.

"You old dog, you don't even eat bones? I even traveled thousands of miles to bring them here for you." The middle-aged guide laughed and scolded.

"It's really nice here." On the side, Zhong Muhua hugged Zhong Xiaoyu and said with a smile: "Far away from the city and away from the hustle and bustle, it is indeed a rare and clean place. For example, I haven't seen cattle there for many years."

Everyone looked sideways as told and saw a big black cow lying quietly in the field, but there was no leash on it. The whole cow exuded the same lazy aura as an old black dog.

"Huh?"

Zhong Xiaoyu blinked twice and said incoherently:

"Look, look, the face of the big black cow is swollen! There is a slap mark!"

Lu Xuan and Yan Jiangxue were stunned for a moment and looked at it carefully. It was true!

The face of the big black cow lying in the field was swollen, and there was a clearly visible handprint on it.

"It's not gone yet?" the middle-aged guide said in surprise: "Is this really a painting?"

As he spoke, he explained to everyone:

"I've been here three or four times in the past few years, and this cow's face has always been like this. I guess there must be something wrong with it. His face is always swollen, and the slap marks must have been painted by some little baby."

Everyone was relieved, Lu Xuan smiled and said:

"I just said, how can anyone be so idle and panic, give Niuer a slap in the face?"

As he spoke, he shuddered involuntarily and his expression condensed slightly.

Um?

Why am I having a whim again?

Or a sense of crisis?

He stopped talking, silently sensing and calculating silently, but gained nothing.

"Why don't we go into town?"

Xu Lindao coughed at this time, turned around and said:

"Let's talk after we go in, we can talk after we go in"

The middle-aged guide slapped his forehead and said cheerfully:

"Come on, let's go. I'll take you to your accommodation first."

Everyone followed the instructions and walked towards the town. When passing the old black dog, the middle-aged guide couldn't hold it back and kicked him with his foot and cursed:

"I won't bring you any bones next time, you old dog, really"

The old black dog raised his head and glanced at him lazily. Just as he was about to lie down again, his eyes swept over everyone and finally landed on Lu Xuan.

It stagnated.

The next second.

"Ouch! Ouch!!!!"

The old black dog seemed to be in a panic. He jumped three feet high and hit the ground again. The dog's paws were waving wildly, and the dust was flying. His whole body was trembling, and his tail suddenly drooped, which shocked everyone.

But immediately, it glanced at Lu Xuan again, and then calmed down again. It breathed a very humane sigh of relief, and even scratched its eyes with its paw, as if it was dazzled.

"You old dog!" The middle-aged guide staggered in fright and complained loudly. He was obviously too scared to understand.

Xiao Yan also patted his chest, pressed it towards Lu Xuan, and muttered in a low voice:

"Why do you think the dog was scared when he saw you? What did you do?"

"How did I know?" Lu Xuan was dumbfounded: "I've never been here before. I guess the black dog is old. Puppies don't live long."

While they were talking, they followed the middle-aged guide and walked into the ancient town of Gouxian.

Although the town is not big, there are not many people there. There are old people enjoying the cool air, children playing, and middle-aged men walking with burdens.

"Here you come?" A little old man sitting on a small bench, shaking a cattail leaf fan, seemed to be quite familiar with the guide, and greeted him: "What happened to Mr. Dog just now? Howling?"

"I don't know." The middle-aged guide shook his head in disbelief, then smiled and said: "Master Ninth, why do you always call that big dog Master Dog?"

The little old man squinted his eyes:

"You outsiders know a thing, Mr. Dog is older than me!"

"Okay, okay, okay, okay!" The middle-aged guide obviously didn't believe it, and immediately changed the topic and asked: "Is there anyone in our town who can make room for the guests to stay for one night?"

As he spoke, he smiled and patted his waist pocket:

"You have enough money!"

The little old man picked his nose:

"You can just ask, every household has an empty bed."

"That's OK!" The guide didn't say much and led the group to continue walking into the town.

Along the way, except for the young couple, the other people, including Lu Xuan and Xiao Yan, were looking curiously.

The further he walked and the more he looked, the more Lu Xuan had the illusion that he was in a dream. This was too old-fashioned.

Wutong City.

"Have you found it?" In the Sakata Heavy Industries building, a middle-aged man looked gloomy: "If the information is leaked, the consequences will be disastrous, not to mention that they will steal the valuable treasure."

After a pause, he shouted loudly:

"Didn't you say that all the exits from the city were checked? Why couldn't we catch two ordinary people with no cultivation level??"

Everyone was submissive and did not dare to answer.

After a while, a staff member seemed to have remembered something and said cautiously:

"We have indeed inspected the entire city, and we are also inspecting the checkpoints out of the city. But I just remembered that no one seems to be in charge of the private car agency?"

After a pause, he moved his fingers on the tablet a few times, brought up some information, looked at it, and then reported:

"I just checked. The private car company did indeed have a floating vehicle out of the city today. It is unlikely that it was heading towards the Kongtong Mountains. Why don't you send a few people to follow it and check it out?"

The middle-aged man waved his hand impatiently:

"Prudentness is the best, please ask a heavenly being to go. The rest of you will continue to investigate the city, and don't let go of the sewers."

After a pause, he said again:

"Just ask me to search door to door and eliminate fire hazards, and ask the Supervision Bureau and Fire Department to cooperate with me!"

"Hi!"
