Chapter 247 New Information Sent by Gu Jiting
Chapter 247 New Information Sent by Gu Jiting
The night wind is as cool as water.
On the rooftop of the Nadutong company building, Zhang Wuling leaned on the edge and looked at the lights of the city in the distance.
A figure appeared silently and came to the side. "You called me over here to ask about the Taiping Dao, right?"
Zhang Wuling tilted his head slightly and said, "Senior Gu, the Taiping Dao has done such a big thing in Western Europe, and you haven't given me any information at all."
Gu Jiting smiled: "Why should I tell you this? They're not messing with us anyway, not to mention they just went through what happened on Nasen Island. You have to let them have a taste of sweetness. Don't you really care about your master's life or death?"
"That's not the case," Zhang Wuling said. "It's just that I know nothing about this matter. When Director Zhao came to see me today, I was completely unprepared."
"Why, are there people from Western Europe looking for their Holy Grail?"
"Yes, six of us, from Flamel College."
"Then they'll probably be disappointed," Gu Jiting said calmly, "The Holy Grail is already in Feng Yunshan's hands. It's wishful thinking for them to take it back."
"And don't blame me for not telling you. Because of the Nasen Island incident, the Taiping Dao has been very tense lately. Your master decided to hold back. Otherwise, if the truth is revealed, the risk will be too great."
"I understand." Zhang Wuling nodded. "After a while, once we understand how Taipingdao recruits people, the company will also prepare to conduct infiltration operations."
Gu Jiting glanced over and said, "Boy, don't say I didn't warn you. It's not that easy to infiltrate Taiping Dao. They have a girl who can do both. Everyone who enters Taiping Dao will be scrutinized. I'm afraid people from the company won't make it."
Zhang Wuling narrowed his eyes and said, "Is that so... I will tell Director Zhao about this, but who is the one who has the ability to do both?"
"What a coincidence! Like that little brat next to you, he's from the Lu family."
"Huh?" Zhang Wuling was stunned. "Are you also from the Lu family?"
"Correct."
Zhang Wuling thought about it and roughly guessed who it was.
But he was very curious about how the other party entered Taiping Dao, or was all this premeditated?
It is not surprising that Taiping Dao has set its sights on the Eight Wonders, after all, there were clues.
But now it seems that the other party has set his sights on the Eight Great Techniques earlier than he thought.
After making a mental note of this, Zhang Wuling asked Gu Jiting, "Senior, do you have any information on the Taiping Dao's next move?"
"Have."
Gu Jiting said, "They will soon set off for Ailao Mountain in Yunnan Province. Their next target is an ancient tomb."
"Ailao Mountain? Ancient tombs?" Zhang Wuling blinked. "Are they going to dig up graves?"
"What's so strange about this? This isn't the first time they've done this kind of work."
"That's right, but what are they looking for in the ancient tomb? Are they going to dig up some corpses again?"
Gu Jiting said, "That's not the case. This time they are looking for a treasure called 'Phoenix Gallbladder'. I don't know what it is used for."
"Where is the ancient tomb located?"
Gu Jiting pulled out a map from his pocket, handed it over, and said, "I've marked the location. You can figure out how to get in. I can't provide much information this time."
Zhang Wuling took the map and took a look at it. He found that the marked location was deep in the mountains. It looked like a primeval forest that no one dared to go to.
"Senior, this is ok. Is this something you have prepared for?"
Gu Jiting snorted, "Nonsense! It's not easy for me to come here. I can't just chat with you. What's more, their operation this time is within the country. Even if you don't look for me today, I will look for you in two days."
"Thank you, senior!" Zhang Wuling smiled and clasped his fists before putting the map away. "By the way, whose ancient tomb is this, and why is it buried in a primeval forest?"
"I don't know. I heard it belonged to a king of the ancient Nanzhao Kingdom."
Gu Jiting remembered something and added, "Oh, by the way, your master told me that the tomb of the King of Nanzhao is very dangerous. It is said that it was designed by an ancient alien wizard. You'd better be careful when you move around."
"A great witch in ancient times?" Zhang Wuling was surprised at first, then he suddenly understood.
This is actually not surprising. It is not only in modern times that strange people appear in this world. They have existed since ancient times, from ancient times to the present.
Since there are extraordinary people, there must be extraordinary skills. This is true all over the world.
Ancient feudal dynasties attached great importance to funerals. It was logical that the imperial family would invite extraordinary people to design their tombs after death to prevent them from being disturbed.
Think about the methods of the aliens. They can fly and hide in the ground, and have all kinds of abilities. How could the tombs of ancient emperors not be designed with some things to counter the aliens?
In a world with extraordinary powers, there will naturally be things of extraordinary standards.
"Thank you for the reminder, senior. I will pay more attention."
Gu Jiting waved his hand: "Alright, I've said everything I need to say. Now it's up to you guys."
Seeing Gu Jiting about to leave, Zhang Wuling quickly asked, "By the way, Senior, I have one more thing I want to confirm."
"What?" Gu Jiting turned his head.
"Wu Gensheng, is he still there?"
Hearing this, Gu Jiting was silent for a while, "Boy, I can't tell you about him, and I can't say it out loud."
Hearing this, Zhang Wuling was not discouraged. Instead, he narrowed his eyes and smiled, "It sounds like this Quan Xing Sect Leader is still here."
Gu Jiting: “…”
"That's enough. Just knowing he's not dead is enough." Zhang Wuling folded his arms and smiled, "Now my main focus is on dealing with the Taiping Dao. As long as he's around, he'll show up one day, right?"
Gu Jiting said nothing, his figure slowly disappeared from the spot without leaving a single word.
Zhang Wuling didn't mind and turned his head to continue looking at the lights of thousands of homes.
The information obtained this time was different from before. For some reason, Zhang Wuling felt that this mission would be quite complicated.
As the Taiping Dao's actions increased, Zhang Wuling had a strange feeling, as if he had walked into history and was getting closer and closer to the ancient and mysterious legend of immortals.
Whenever you read some ancient books, whether official history or unofficial history, the legends about immortals are quite mysterious and secretive.
From ancient times to the present, the Chinese people, whether they are emperors, generals, or ordinary people, have always pursued and yearned for cultivating immortals.
But how can it be so easy to become an immortal?
Didn’t you see that the old Taoist priest had great cultivation skills, but he still couldn’t take this last step.
What is missing?
Zhang Wuling pondered over it carefully and found that all the stories about becoming immortals since ancient times had one common feature, that is, "immortals imparting the Dharma."
From the Yellow Emperor to the Patriarch Tianshi, those who could become immortals either had seen immortals or had received instruction from immortals in their dreams and finally achieved enlightenment and became immortals.
And this kind of thing is very likely the "immortal fate".
But how can one gain the favor of an immortal, and have him descend to earth or appear in one’s dreams to give guidance?
There might be another mystery hidden in this...
