Chapter 56: Big Mission
"Where is that stinky old man, Uncle Master?"
When I returned to the Yushenmen complex, I felt unhappy when I thought about the old man who tricked me into the valley a year ago.
"What? Are you going to settle accounts with Master Tai? Don't even think about it. He is very good at calculating time. He went down the mountain yesterday."
This girl Lu Xiaofeng obviously had experienced this before. I cursed in my heart and decided to settle the score with him later. Although I definitely can't beat him in a fight, I have to ask him for that "wealth". Damn it!
"Then I went home. I haven't been home for a year."
Not only did he not go home for a year, but he didn't even go home for the Chinese New Year. I don't know what that old man, my uncle, said to my parents.
"Don't worry, there is a big task right now. If you complete it, you can get at least 100,000."
My eyes lit up, there is a way to make money!
No, the last time I was given a mission at Tianzhu Mountain, although I was given several times the reward for a single mission, it was only tens of thousands of yuan, and I almost lost my life. This time, I got a full 100,000 yuan. It would be strange if it wasn't difficult or dangerous.
Damn, what's there to be afraid of? I've been practicing for a year, so at least I'm not a rookie anymore.
"What mission?"
Seeing that I was interested, the girl couldn't help but smile and said, "This task was actually received by Uncle Song."
Uncle Song? I remember this girl said before that the old master has an apprentice named Song. This should be him.
"Uncle Song sent us a message yesterday, saying that he has received a big mission and can take us to see the world."
Big mission? See the world?
"Don't ask so many questions. I don't know what the specific mission is. Whether you want to go or not, just tell me clearly."
I was about to ask about the details when the girl glared at me and said. I hesitated for a few seconds and then said, "Of course I'll go. If you don't make money, you're a fool."
"What do you know besides money? Are you obsessed with money?"
I stared at her in a strange way and laughed, "You are really funny, it seems like you always make a lot more money than me, okay? Why do you need so much money? Are you saving it for your dowry?"
"I got it when I was doing the mission. It's what I deserve. As for what I do with it, it's my business. What is it to you?"
The girl's expression changed a little, and she looked like she was going to get angry. I was speechless, as if it was my fault, so I had to shut up.
"Go down the mountain and set off."
"Uh? Leaving now?"
"You can go if you want, or not, if you don't want to go, forget it!"
Oh shit!
This girl was really angry, and she was angry all the way. I talked to her several times on the way, but she ignored me, so I was too lazy to try my best to please her.
We didn't talk along the way. The next morning, we arrived at our destination. After getting off the bus, I realized that our destination was Hangzhou, which is a big city.
"Girl, have you ever heard that there is heaven above and Suzhou and Hangzhou below?"
Lu Xiaofeng glanced at me and said, "Don't show off the little knowledge you have."
Although these words were a bit hurtful, at least this girl was finally willing to talk to me. I chuckled and asked, "What is the mission this time?"
"A few days ago, there was a village here where hundreds of people suddenly disappeared. Dozens of people from a construction team working near the village also disappeared. The government sent police to investigate, but they also disappeared and never returned. The government then dispatched a special forces team, but they also disappeared and never returned."
This matter is indeed very strange. Since they found people like us, it must be some ghost causing trouble.
"Many people don't believe in ghosts and gods, but when they can't use scientific knowledge to explain what they encounter, they have to think about ghosts and gods."
Damn, people who read more books tend to speak more fluently.
"Uncle Song asked us to go directly over to join him. We will know the details when we get there."
We got off the train and took a taxi to the bus station. At about noon, we arrived at a small county town. The county town was very small, the were quite old, and the roads were also shabby and cracked.
After leaving the station, Lu Xiaofeng opened his cell phone to look for something, then called a taxi. Ten minutes later, we arrived at a restaurant on the edge of the county town.
"What a coincidence! Uncle Song just asked us to come here to have dinner together."
The restaurant is not big, but it does good business. At a glance, the living room on the first floor is full. Lu Xiaofeng went to ask the waiter, and then we went up to the second floor and walked to the door of the last private room and knocked.
"Come in quickly, girl."
As soon as the knock on the door sounded, a voice came from inside the house, and then Lu Xiaofeng pushed the door open. The aroma of food came to my nose, and I was stunned when I saw the scene in the house.
There was a large round table with a large amount of food on it, at least 20 plates, including chicken, duck, fish, meat, vegetables and fruits. Sitting next to the round table was a teenager with short, neat hair and a sports outfit.
"Uncle Song."
Lu Xiaofeng called out and sat over without any courtesy. The young man looked at me and said with a smile, "Are you the apprentice that the old master took in a few days ago?"
Stinky old man?
My eyes lit up. I like this guy.
Although the time of apprenticeship is not long, it has also spanned two years, that is to say, three years. Although this young man is not very old, the relationship within the sect is calculated according to seniority. He is the disciple accepted by the old man of the master before, which means he is my senior brother. I quickly bowed and shouted, "Junior brother Ye Yun, meet the senior brother."
"No, I'm the second brother."
I couldn't help but be stunned, staring blankly at the serious young man. He suddenly smiled and said, "Before me, the old master had another apprentice, but he betrayed our sect many years ago. But in terms of seniority, he is still the eldest brother, and I am only the second brother."
There is also a senior brother, and he betrayed Yushenmen? There is a story!
"You look very interested. Unfortunately, this is all I know. I don't even know the name of our senior brother."
The young man shrugged and said. I quickly smiled awkwardly. He then said, "I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Song Shuming. You can call me Senior Brother Song or Second Senior Brother. I will call you Junior Brother. Don't stand there. Sit down and eat. After dinner, we have to rush to the meeting place."
While we were eating, Second Brother told us about the mission. Damn, the name Second Brother always reminds me of Zhu Bajie in Journey to the West.
The government issued the mission this time, and there was more than one team that accepted the mission, and we were just one of them. We agreed to gather in the town outside the village where the incident occurred this evening, and then discuss countermeasures together.
The second brother said that it was definitely not as simple as a few little ghosts to cause hundreds of people in the village to suddenly disappear.
