Chapter 232 Mountaineering Gate
Deep in Tiger Mountain!
Tongtong saw his teacher suddenly stop and then look behind him.
"Keep going."
Lin Ye looked back and felt the aura of his amulet. It seemed that the man had already used it.
Ask for directions.
It was not a casual action by Lin Ye, but an intentional one.
With his five senses, he could clearly perceive the strangeness of several tourists. When he associated them with the location of Hushan, he made a judgment about their identities.
Since this was the first time he encountered plainclothes policemen in real life who had only appeared in movies before, Lin Ye used the Qi-gazing technique out of curiosity, and immediately discovered that one of them would be in danger of his life.
If it was an ordinary person whose life was in danger, he would at most give a few words of advice. As for whether the other person listened or not, that was up to the other person.
But these people have different identities. To be honest, Lin Ye thought of a passage on the Internet. Maybe there are some scums in the peace team, but only in the anti-drug team are there real heroes.
This is why Lin Ye gave this amulet.
Retracting his gaze, Lin Ye continued to move forward with Tongtong.
After walking through a forest for only a hundred steps, a boy suddenly stood there and bowed to Lin Ye: "My master ordered me to wait here, sir."
…
…
At the other end of Tiger Mountain, a group of people were heading deeper into the mountain.
The leader was a man in his fifties. Judging from his temperament and the people following him, he should be a successful person.
"Boss Wei, the scenery of our Hushan is beyond words. If it is developed, it will definitely attract many tourists."
Next to the man was a man in a white shirt, and it was obvious at a glance that he was an establishment figure who was constantly lobbying.
Yan Ming is the director of investment promotion for Zuochong City. Zuochong City is too remote. Although it has diplomatic relations with foreign countries, they are two poor countries and cannot bring much income from foreign trade. This is why many people have embarked on the road of crime.
However, Mr. Wei's company is a nationally renowned private enterprise. Yan Ming had never thought that Mr. Wei would have any intersection with their Zuochong City. But just a month ago, the executives of Mr. Wei's company suddenly contacted the city and said that they wanted to develop tourism projects in the city.
The city was naturally very happy to hear the news. High-tech companies will not come to a city like Zuochong. The high-tech industrial park built by the city is actually just an electronics factory. People only value the relatively cheap local driving force. The big data industrial park that followed suit is even more ridiculous. It's just a group of internet celebrity companies doing live broadcasts there.
But tourism development projects are different. They belong to cultural tourism projects. Cultural tourism projects are the most popular now. First, there will be no pollution and they belong to green development. Second, they require large investments and can be regarded as a major achievement. Therefore, the city has given him a death order. This time he accompanied General Manager Wei to Hushan for inspection. No matter what request General Manager Wei puts forward, he must agree to it first.
Those who cannot make decisions can immediately ask for instructions from their superiors, but Yan Ming also knows that given the urgency of the city leaders, he is afraid that the city will agree to the request made by General Wei. If General Wei had not said that he did not want to make a big fuss this time, it would not be him who would accompany General Wei, but the city leaders.
"Well, the scenery of Tiger Mountain is indeed nice."
"Not only is the scenery beautiful, but Tiger Mountain also has many folk stories that can be explored. Mr. Wei, the reason why Tiger Mountain is named this way is that it is rumored that there were hundreds of tigers on the mountain a hundred years ago."
When Yan Ming said this, he was doubtful in his heart. He did not believe the rumor about Tiger Mountain. There cannot be two tigers on one mountain. How could there be hundreds of tigers on one mountain? It was probably that the local villagers had seen tigers before, and then rumors spread like this.
But this did not affect his decision to bring up this rumor at all. Isn't this the case with all those involved in cultural and tourism industries these days?
Any stone that is a bit bigger would have a story made up for it. If it was something strange, like a human, it could be a fairy descending to earth or a god sitting and lying down. If it really didn't look like a human, it was okay, you could even make a story about a monkey picking stars.
“I see.”
Listening to President Wei's response, Yan Ming had some doubts in his heart. As a man who had been in the officialdom for more than 20 years, he also knew how to read people's expressions. President Wei didn't seem to have much interest in Hushan, but if he had no interest, why would he want to develop Hushan?
He didn't think that Mr. Wei was playing around. Not to mention the price he would have to pay for doing so, he was such a big boss and his time was so precious. If he really didn't have this idea, how could he have come to Hushan in person?
It may also be that big bosses like him never show their emotions, so I have this feeling.
Wei Xingmin listened to Yan Ming's introduction without much interest. From time to time, he would glance at an old man wearing a straw hat behind him.
It seemed that he decided which direction to go after entering the mountain, but in fact he chose based on the direction of the old man's sight.
"Director Yan, I have also heard about the rumors about Tiger Mountain. Are there any more rumors about Tiger in recent years?"
Yan Ming was stunned for a moment when he heard the question from the old man who came with President Wei. The identity of this old man had been introduced by President Wei before. His surname was Wei and he was a consultant for President Wei's company.
He didn't know what kind of consultant he was, but since he was a consultant, he didn't dare to underestimate him. As the person in charge of the Merchants Group, he had also met many bosses of large companies. Although these companies were not as big as Mr. Wei's, they were also considered big bosses.
These big guys will hire a few consultants for the company. These consultants don't do any work and don't get paid, but they get consulting fees. As for what they are responsible for, those who understand know.
To put it bluntly, these consultants can leave the company at any time and join another company, but the company cannot do without this consultant.
If this is the case for those companies, the background of consultants for big companies like Mr. Wei should not be underestimated.
"Mr. Wei, I dare not lie to you and Mr. Wei. Some years ago, an expert went to Hushan, but he found no signs of tigers. There should be no tigers in Hushan."
“I see.”
A look of disappointment flashed across the old man's face. Wei Xingmin became a little anxious when he saw the old man's disappointed expression.
Is it going to fail again this time?
In an instant!
Suddenly a roar came from the mountain in front.
The roar startled Yan Ming, and so did the others, except the old man, who became excited.
"Boss Wei!"
The old man shouted to Wei Xingmin, and Wei Xingmin's eyes lit up: "Director Yan, let's go over there!"
"Going there?"
Although Yan Ming didn't know what kind of beast made that roar, he was scared just by hearing it. If he went over there now, what if something unexpected happened?
Glancing at the team, he found that this time, apart from him and a few of his subordinates accompanying President Wei and his entourage, there were no people from the security department. There were a few strong men among the people brought by President Wei, but what if the beast was not traveling alone but in a group?
"Director Yan, don't worry. My bodyguards are all retired special forces. They are not afraid even if they encounter a tiger."
Hearing what Wei Xingmin said, Yan Ming frowned in his heart. If these people were armed, he would still believe what Wei said. But if they were unarmed, a few strong men against a tiger would be no different from delivering food.
A slap from an adult tiger uses nearly a ton of force. No normal person can withstand it.
However, looking at Mr. Wei's expression, he had to go. After thinking about it, Yan Ming gritted his teeth and agreed. At the same time, he picked up his phone and prepared to contact the security department to ask them to send a few people over to avoid any accidents.
…
…
There are many strange places in the mountains.
Following the boy around a valley, the scenery in front of us was very different from the surroundings.
Neatly trimmed flowers and plants are planted on both sides. In front of you is a bluestone staircase. Going up hundreds of steps, you will reach a mountain villa.
"Dear guest, please come in!"
The boy stopped at the bottom of the stairs and made a gesture of invitation.
Lin Ye nodded and stepped onto the stairs. Tongtong beside him looked around curiously. Although he was still young, he knew that it was abnormal to have a villa in the mountains.
A hundred steps are reached in the blink of an eye.
An old man was standing sideways on the steps, and just as he was bowing to Lin Ye, two thugs suddenly rushed out from the side, raised their long swords, and slashed at the old man.
Bang!
The old man's head fell off and rolled down the stairs.
Tongtong turned pale when he saw this scene, but Lin Ye's expression remained unchanged. He did not stop the old man's head, but just looked at the two evil men standing on the steps with knives.
"Go back to where you came from. This is not the place for you."
The villain was ferocious, with a long sword in his hand shining coldly, staring at Lin Ye and Tong Tong viciously.
"My master invited me to be his guest, but you, a servant, glared at me with a knife in your hand. How can you treat me like this?"
No one knew what Lin Ye's words had provoked the two villains. Their expressions suddenly turned very ugly, and one of them chopped at them with a long knife.
Tongtong, who was a little scared because of the previous scene, saw the evil man chopping his teacher with a knife. He no longer cared about being afraid, leaned forward, and punched the man in the abdomen.
"The little yellow-haired kid is looking for death!"
Seeing that Tongtong dared to attack him, the villain's expression became ferocious. He pressed down his long sword and chopped directly at Tongtong's arm.
Faced with the long sword flashing with cold light, Tongtong did not panic. He bent his arm and hit the back of the long sword with his fist.
The long sword vibrated and made a trembling sound. The villain's palm shook and the long sword flew out of his hand and fell on the steps a few meters away. When the other villain saw his companion's weapon being knocked down, he raised his sword and chopped towards Tongtong without saying a word.
Tongtong took a step and barely dodged the long knife, and at the same time quickly threw a punch. The punch had a faint sound of a tiger's roar and hit the villain's waist.
After being hit by the punch, the villain staggered back a few steps, but the strange thing was that the villain did not lose his fighting power. He did not attack again, but stood there trembling.
However, Tongtong did not think about why the villain did not attack. He just remembered what his teacher taught him: when facing the enemy, once you have attacked, you should not show mercy.
After a set of Tiger Roar Fists, the villain fell to the ground and couldn't get up.
"Tongtong, stop it."
Seeing that his apprentice was about to attack another villain, Lin Ye called out to stop him.
After hearing what his teacher said, Tongtong stopped and returned .
"Just two accomplices."
A ghost?
Tongtong knew what the word "ghost" meant, but he didn't know what the word "accomplice ghost" was.
Are these two evil guys ghosts?
Aren’t ghosts scary? But when you look at it this way, they don’t look that scary?
Tong Tong's cute little face frowned slightly, thinking of what Xiao Keke often told him, how scary ghosts were, and how she said she would take him to see a ghost movie, which would surely scare him to tears.
While Tong Tong was thinking about whether ghosts were scary or not, the old man's head that had been chopped off flew up from the steps and returned to the old man's neck. The old man stood up from the ground and bowed to Lin Ye: "Thank you for your help in subduing these two evil servants who wanted to devour their master."
"You brought me here, didn't you, just for this matter?"
Lin Ye looked at the old man. Although his tone was calm, the old man was very nervous because he felt like he was surrounded by sea water and was a little suffocated.
He is a ghost, he doesn't need to breathe.
To have such a feeling, I can only say that this person’s strength is too terrifying.
Thinking of this, the old man felt a little bitter. He wanted to lure a cultivator here through the Lord's tooth, but he didn't intend to lure such a powerful one.
"Please allow me to explain."
The old man didn't dare to have any more thoughts, and said quickly: "To be honest, the master of the house is a mean servant, and there is nothing I can do..."
From the old man's narration, Lin Ye finally understood what was going on.
Kasan bought that fang from the old man, but the old man sold it to him on purpose.
Fifteen years ago, Kasan came to Hushan. At that time, he heard the legend of Hushan and entered Hushan with curiosity. Then he met the old man.
When the old man sold him the fang, he told him that it was left behind by the most powerful tiger in Tiger Mountain after its death. Other tigers would be frightened and behave themselves when they saw the fang.
Of course Kasan didn't believe it at first, but the old man asked for a low price, and it was indeed a tiger tooth, so he bought it as a souvenir. Later, when he met other tigers, he found that they were very afraid of him. Only then did he realize that he had obtained a treasure.
Relying on this fang, he began to become a tiger tamer, training tigers for major circuses. He used the fang to intimidate tigers and tortured them in various ways to make them obedient.
Kassan later came to Tiger Mountain and wanted to find the old man again to see if he could buy more teeth from this tiger, but the old man did not show up, because the tiger fang was just a bait released by the old man. If a cultivator saw the tiger fang, he would surely be able to see the tiger's power contained in it, and would also be able to tell that it was a mountain lion's fang.
And then he could make a deal with this practitioner and ask the practitioner to help get rid of the two evil servants who wanted to devour their master.
The plan has been completed now, and practitioners have arrived, but what he didn't expect was that the strength of these practitioners was so strong. They were no more powerful than Shan Jun when he was alive.
"Fortunately... Fortunately, the monarch had saved one last move. This is why those two evil servants have not succeeded for many years."
The old man's mind was wandering, and finally he gritted his teeth and said, "The monarch once said that if there are distinguished guests coming, they can climb the mountain gate!"
Lin Ye listened to the old man's words, his eyes narrowed, because he did not understand the meaning of the old man's words, but a voice popped up in his mind at this moment.
"Boy, promise him!"
The voice was very urgent, and Lin Ye recognized it as the sound of the stone plate.
"Hurry, this is your great opportunity."
