Chapter 62: Mount Xumi (IX)
Heavy footsteps were heard in the corridor on the fifth floor.
The Qilin cub, who had no idea who was on the fifth floor, was a little scared at the moment. Although he tried hard not to show it, he still listened to the approaching footsteps and swallowed silently.
In the past in Wushan, whenever Qilin cub was naughty, Bai Ze would always use the Outsider Household Registration Bureau to scare him, just like when Lu Ren was a child, his parents always used the story of Grandma Wolf to discipline him.
"Qilin, if you pull my beard again, the people from the Investigation Bureau will come to arrest you."
The young Qilin opened his watery round eyes, tilted his head, and asked Bai Ze in confusion: "Investigation Bureau?"
Bai Ze nodded: "Yes, the Foreign Household Investigation Bureau, the old monsters there are very fierce. Especially the group of guys living on the fifth floor, they have lived from ancient times to the present, and they love to eat juicy little Qilin like you the most."
As Bai Ze spoke, he would pretend to be ferocious to scare the Qilin cub. Every time, the Qilin cub would be frightened so much that it would stretch out its two front paws, cover its little head, close its eyes and tremble.
Now, the Kirin cub finally had to face his childhood fear. He held the dragon girl's hand tightly, staring at the stairs with wide eyes, and he kept mentally preparing himself: "For Ah Ren, I will fight the old monster!"
While the Qilin cub was preparing for the incident, a huge hand suddenly stretched out from the dark hole, scaring the Qilin cub.
The hand was very large, at least twice as large as Lu Ren's. The palm was very rough, and there were several obvious scars on it, which showed that it had been through many battles. The hand held the edge of the hole, and it seemed that it was trying to use the force to get out.
That iron fist as big as a sandbag looked like it could kill a Qilin cub with one punch.
Of course the Qilin cub couldn't retreat, but his two trembling legs had already betrayed his current mental state.
Lu Qingzhou, who was standing behind the Qilin cub, walked up the stairs silently and came in front of everyone. Because he could tell who the person was just by looking at this hand, and this was not someone that others could easily deal with.
The one who came was Luwu.
Luwu was the former guard , the emperor's capital, and one of the nine divisions of the heavens. He was extremely brave. If a real fight broke out, Yinglong would be afraid of him.
Originally, he was the leader of Combat Team 2, but he had been clamoring to retire a thousand years ago. Whenever he was on a mission, he would shout, "How long do I have to work like this?"
He wrote a retirement application to Si Yuan every year, and did so without fail for a thousand years, but Si Yuan never approved it.
Until thirty years ago.
Lu Wu had a bad temper, little patience, and a loud voice, and had been the target of several complaints from the public. Si Yuan helped to settle the cases each time, but the one time thirty years ago, he went to catch a rat demon.
Originally, Luwu's prototype was a tiger, and the rat spirit was scary enough, but he still didn't know how to restrain himself.
After the suspect was captured, Lu Wu was in charge of escorting him. He sat in the same car with the Rat Demon.
After work, Lu Wu was particularly bad. He completely ignored the people around him, slapped his thigh and shouted at the top of his voice: "If I keep working like this, I will go crazy sooner or later."
The deep voice and powerful knocking sound frightened the timid rat spirit so much that he fainted and almost died. Lu Wu had received enough complaints, but he didn't expect that this time he almost caused an accident.
That month's complaint letters piled up like a mountain on Si Yuan's desk. If Lu Wu, a divine beast, really retired, he would cause trouble in the human world sooner or later. If he didn't retire, Si Yuan would have endless reports to write, which tortured Si Yuan to the point of a headache. Finally, Si Yuan came up with a compromise idea. With a flick of his red pen, he assigned Lu Wu to the archives department on the fifth floor to help Shao Siming manage the archives.
Since the work in the archives room only required drinking tea and reading newspapers every day at work, no one cared if he was late or left early. Lu Wu was very satisfied, and the Investigation Bureau returned to decades of peaceful days.
After Lu Wu joined the Archives Department, he had not been seen anywhere other than the fifth floor for thirty years.
I didn't expect to alarm him today.
As the owner of the giant hand, Lu Wu quickly got out of the hole on the fifth floor, cursing: "Which bastard blew up the door? Stand out! I'll beat you up!"
Lu Wu was a burly man, at least two meters tall, with dark skin and strong muscles faintly visible under the thin cloth he wore. At first glance, I thought he was a black bear crawling out of the hole that was blown out. Because of his large size, the process of crawling out of the hole was not very smooth, and his movements even looked quite funny. The exposed skin on his arms was covered with dark blue tattoos. The lines were simple and quaint, but it was hard to tell what they meant.
Lu Wu continued to talk sweetly, but Lu Qingzhou interrupted him at the right time: "Lu Wu, is Si Yuan here?"
Lu Wu and Lu Qingzhou were good friends in the past, so after a moment's hesitation, Lu Wu put aside the matter of blowing up the door and answered Lu Qingzhou's question first: "Si Yuan? Si Yuan has been away on business for a long time."
At this moment, Lu Wu realized that there were : "Why are so many of you gathered here today to look for Si Yuan?"
After saying that, Lu Wu glanced at everyone present. Seeing that everyone looked bitter and resentful, he suddenly said with understanding: "I see. You are not all tired of work and want to find Si Yuan to resign collectively. I said that the work in the Investigation Bureau is too tiring..."
Lu Qingzhou did not let him continue: "We need to use the boundary gate to go to Mount Xumi."
When Lu Wu heard this, he felt quite disappointed and said, "Well, it turns out that you are not going to resign collectively. It's just a business trip. As for your bad temper... Well, those people are not here today, I will open the door for you. Come on, give me the approval letter."
Lu Wu casually reached out his hand to Lu Qingzhou, asking for the approval letter. But Lu Qingzhou did not move.
Lu Wu waited for a while, and when he saw Lu Qingzhou just looking at him with an unclear expression and still had no intention of moving, he realized something was wrong. So Lu Wu's expression gradually changed from relaxed and casual to solemn, and he said, "You don't have the approval letter."
The tone used is affirmative.
Lu Qingzhou said, "In an emergency, we must make decisions based on our circumstances."
"Old Lu, you have been in the Investigation Bureau for so many years, you should know clearly what kind of crime it is to move the boundary gate without a letter of approval."
Lu Qingzhou nodded: "I know."
While Lu Qingzhou was dealing with Lu Wu, the Dragon Girl had been quietly gathering strength in the back, preparing to attack Lu Wu, but Tushan Qiluo at the side stopped her.
Tushan Qiluo pressed down the dragon girl's hand that was gathering strength and shook her head at her: "Don't take the initiative to fight Luwu when you are not sure unless it is absolutely necessary. If we provoke him, we may not get anything good."
But before he finished speaking, Lu Qingzhou's conversation with Lu Wu broke down.
Lu Wu stretched out his hand and instantly produced a long knife, which he used to carve a deep groove on the ground in front of him. "I don't know what you are planning, but anyone who crosses this line today will die."
The scene became quiet again.
At this time, the Rain Master quickly winked at the Wind Master.
Feng Bo successfully received the signal, and then he couldn't help but sigh, and then he took out his fan and quickly fanned it in the direction of Lu Wu. In an instant, sand and rocks flew everywhere.
This is a signal to start a war.
Lu Qingzhou rushed out first and fought with Lu Wu. His black sword was not tempered, but its lethality was still not to be underestimated. At this moment, he was struggling with the huge long sword.
But Luwu was once the guardian beast of Kunlun Mountain, and he was extremely powerful. He gradually gained the upper hand in the confrontation.
At this moment, a fox tail attacked Lu Wu. Lu Wu dodged sideways and drew back his sword.
The staircase landing on the fifth floor was not big. Lu Wu had already retreated to the corner. He looked at the fox tail that attacked him and frowned: "Tushan, what did I teach you? When you attack by surprise, you must be quick, accurate and ruthless, and kill with one blow. Why did you let me escape?"
It seemed that Lu Wu had plenty of energy to spare, and he could even teach Tushan Qiluo on the spot.
Tushan Qiluo didn't say anything, she just stood beside Lu Qingzhou with caution. She was brought up by Lu Wu, and she knew very well how strong this man was.
At this point, the leaders of the two combat teams of the Immigrant Household Investigation Bureau stood on the same front. For many years, the two teams had been competing with each other. If outsiders saw this grand scene, they would definitely be amazed.
Seeing this, the Rain Master and the Wind Master did not hesitate too much and quickly took the rest of the people to the boundary gate.
The Rain Master instructed the others, "Leave it to these two, it's enough to take care of this. Hurry up!"
There was no way Lu Wu would let them go so easily, so he immediately tried to stop them. However, just as his long sword reached the men, it was blocked by the black sword. Lu Wu dodged and rushed forward again, and the fox tail came again.
Lu Qingzhou and Tushan Qiluo teamed up to defend impeccably. Even though Lu Wu tried hard, he could not make any progress. While this was going on, the Rain Master and the Wind Master had already brought the Qilin cub, the Dragon Girl, Baihua, and Junfang into the hole on the fifth floor.
What is unexpected is that behind the seemingly pitch-black door on the fifth floor is not a dark corridor.
The vision in front of everyone suddenly darkened, and then suddenly brightened. The unprepared Dragon Girl was even blinded for a few seconds, and her vision turned white, unable to see anything. Then, the white gradually faded, and the world slowly regained its color.
The Dragon Girl saw jade trees, stone palaces covered with snow, and, not far away, golden mountains bathed in the sun.
Except for the Rain Master and the Wind Master, everyone else was staring at the scene in front of them in a daze. It was the first time for them to come here, so they were extremely shocked.
Baihua murmured, "What is this?"
The Rain Master looked at the scene in front of him with some longing, then closed his eyes again and said with a sigh, "This is Kunlun."
Now is not the time to be sad, Lu Wu may catch up at any time, so Feng Bo called a few people to hurry to Yaochi. Halfway through the journey, he suddenly remembered: "No, I came to stop them, how come I became an accomplice for no reason."
Feng Bo thought that his work this month might have been in vain, but he did not stop at all. Soon, they arrived at Yaochi.
The Rain Master said, "Without the key to the gate, we need to use spiritual power to force the door open."
This was said to Feng Bo. Feng Bo knew very well that the power of Yu Shi alone was not enough to open the gate. So Feng Bo pondered for a moment, and finally said to Yu Shi: "You owe me one."
The rain master agreed: "Of course, of course."
The two of them worked together to infuse their spiritual energy into the Yao Chi. In an instant, clear springs emerged from the bottom of the Yao Chi, which had been dried up long ago. However, it seemed not quite appropriate to call it a clear spring, because every drop of water seemed to emit a captivating light.
That is not a clear spring, but a concrete manifestation of concentrated spiritual power.
