Private work?

Hearing this key word, Chen Xian frowned slightly, only remembering that the last time an old liar sent him a private job was almost half a year ago, and a lot of work was directly transferred to the Secret Bureau in the middle... .. Why did you suddenly have a private job today?

"Chen Xian?" Mu He looked up at Chen Xian, and asked curiously, "What is private work?"

"Private work is work outside of work." Chen Xian took everyone familiar and walked to the side and sat down. He didn't mean to be polite with the old liar. He reached out and picked up the teapot and poured tea for everyone present. "Grandpa Ge, this The second job should not be easy, after all, its skin is quite expensive..."

Chen Xian has taken over a lot of private jobs over the years, but the highest price is only two or three million a time, which is even less than the salary of the high-level unusual cases assigned by the Secret Bureau.

Of course, a large part of this is due to the old liar, because he is not Chen Xian’s superior leader. He dare not or bear to throw a lot of troublesome work in Chen Xian’s hands. After all, Chen Xian’s wealth is saved. Look, even if you don't receive a job for half a year, you won't necessarily be starved to death, so the old liar never assigns him jobs that are highly paid but equally dangerous.

Chen Xian was aware of this early, but he never mentioned it, but at this time... Chen Xian was indeed a little surprised, what kind of private work could pay as much as 20 million? !

Even if there is, it is impossible to send it to yourself according to the old liar's temper. After all, the higher the reward, the more dangerous the private work.

"This time the private work, the client is the old clarification, let it tell you the specific things."

Suddenly, Xu Yanan spoke abruptly, looked at the old liar carefully and asked.

"Master Ge, do we need to avoid it?"

Xu Yanan doesn’t know what the rules are in Yin City, but from the perspective of the rules in the alien circle, private work is a relatively high-secret work. In general, apart from the client and the receiver, they talk about " No one else will appear at the scene of the transaction.

"No." The old liar dangled his cigarette and waved his hand. He put his feet in flip-flops on the coffee table with a smile on his face. He didn't seem to put the so-called rules in his eyes. "Just listen. Listen, just don’t talk outside."

The old toad squatted on a chair, holding the long cigarette stick in his hand, and nodded with a smile when he heard the old liar. Its attitude towards those rules was similar to that of the old liar, as if he didn't take it seriously.

"You talk about the content of the private work." Chen Xian was holding a teacup, looking at the old toad calmly, wondering what was going on this time, could it be that the old liar had turned his sex?

"It was about half a year ago... yes... it was half a year ago..."

The old toad smoked the tobacco leaves in the pipe, his turbid eyes slowly narrowed, as if he was remembering something, and his voice became a bit distant, as if he was telling a very distant story.

"Since a long time ago...I have been cultivating near Meishan in Yunnan Province...Most of my apprentices also followed me to take root in that mountain..." Old Toad recalled, while slowly speaking, "The Meishan Mountain Range is like my home...I am too familiar with it...I know every plant and every tree... .... But I never thought that something would happen."

When the old toad said this, his voice paused for a while, and a trace of helplessness flashed in his eyes.

In Yunnan Province, the old Toad’s cave is at the top of Meishan Mountain. Although it is not the cave and blessed land that Taoism often talks about, the old toad’s cave is not much worse than the so-called caves and blessings. The cave is less than a hundred feet away from Huaiyin. The yang energy gathers but does not disperse, there is the essence of the sun and the moon on the bottom of the earth vein...

"It's about three miles away from my cave...There is a small stream starting from the top of the mountain...The source should be the underground river in the Meishan Mountains..." Old Toad's voice It became heavy, and the fire on the pipe flickered and flickered, like its uncertain face, "The stream that straddles the mountain has always been extremely clear...until half a year ago... .. It started to bleed."

"Bleeding?" Chen Xian was taken aback for a moment.

The old toad nodded and took a hard puff of smoke.

According to the old toad, the weird vision came from one late night.

That night it was practicing in the cave mansion with great concentration, and suddenly smelled a pungent **** smell. When he came out of the cave mansion, he discovered that **** fog had risen in the mountain forest, just like the common mountain forest. This kind of mist first rises from the ground, and then slowly rises into the air. For a moment, the entire Meishan Mountain is covered by the blood mist.

These weird blood mists seem to have evaporated from fresh blood. The **** breath permeated in the mountains and forests makes Chan Yi feel pungent. Meishan seems to have become an invisible battlefield like a flesh-and-blood mill, although it is seen here. No corpse remains, but the strong blood... only makes Chan Yi have the illusion, as if thousands of people are dying in the mountains.

"The blood mist in the forest lasted for two sticks of incense, and then disappeared, as if it had never appeared before, but the only thing that didn't disappear was the **** smell." As she said, she shook slowly. Shake the pipe, and shook the burnt tobacco leaves into the ashtray, "I follow the smell to find the source, and I am also curious...what can give rise to such a large-scale vision ."

Following the pungent smell, Chan Yi searched in the mountains and forests, and soon found the source of the persistent bleeding smell.

The source is the stream not far from its cave.

The creek flowing from the gap between the mountains and forests used to illustrate a beloved beauty. The water quality there is clear and almost transparent, and it will never dry up despite the seasonal changes. It flows quietly in spring, summer, autumn and winter, as if it will not be affected by the outside world. Influenced by all the factors, the state of "intrinsic self" has been maintained from beginning to end.

But all this changed after the blood mist appeared.

The meandering stream is like a wound torn from the earth. Those streams that were once clear and cold have all turned into blood with residual warmth...

"I have checked...these are all blood, not water...all real blood...I can feel the breath of life they carry...very faint. ......" Old Toad murmured, as if remembering the scene of that kind of vision the first time he saw it, he became nervous when he spoke, "About half a stick of incense... the color of the stream. It began to fade slowly... and then returned to its original state..."

"Finally, did the stream return to normal?" Chen Xian asked curiously.

"Yes, it's completely back to normal." The old toad said, his eyes became helpless, "but from that day on, every night at night, the stream will turn into blood, and the vision has not completely disappeared until today. ."

"Have you seen the source of the water?" Chen Xian asked.

"I've seen it." The old toad sighed and put the pipe aside. "The source of the stream is a crack on the top of Meishan Mountain. There is an underground river connected to it, so I also wondered if there was something wrong with the underground."

"You went in and watched?" Chen Xian had a faint curiosity in his eyes. After all, it was the first time he had heard of the fact that the stream had turned into blood.

"I have been in eleven times, but every time I go in, I will be driven out." Old Toad smiled bitterly.

Driven out?

Hearing these words, everyone in the audience looked at each other, is it possible that there are other existences in the underground river?

"Who drove you out?" Chen Xian asked curiously.

"It's not who... it should be an invisible force... it's very similar to a ghost hitting a wall..." the old toad said, recalling the eleven times that he had entered. In the scene of the underground river, the expression in his eyes became a little confused, "As soon as I entered, I felt a force repelling me, an outsider...it’s hard to describe it to you..... .. I went in and wandered around for two minutes and still didn’t get too deep. Entered into the investigation... In the blink of an eye, I found myself back to the entrance..."

The phenomenon that the old toad said Chen Xian had encountered before, but intuitively speaking, the abnormal phenomena he encountered that can be explained by ghosts against the wall may be different from the experience of the old toad. After all, it is an abnormal life. "Domain" should be more sensitive. The sense is that it is impossible to be confused by "Domain" as easily as a living person.

"I want to invite you to see it." The old toad cut to the point, staring at Chen Xian with huge eyes, "Master said you can help me solve this matter, so I want to trouble you to go to Yunnan Province with me. trip."

"Can I help you solve it?" Chen Xian was stunned, looking at the old liar in disbelief, with a helpless expression, "Master Ge, can't you talk about it? You know I'm not good at this..... ."

Rather than eliminating the anomaly, looking for the reason behind the anomaly... Chen Xian is better at fighting.

Judging from the currently known information, the reason why the stream turns into blood is still unknown. If there is an abnormal life behind it, it is good to say, as long as the target object is found to get rid of it, but... Chen Xian feels this It's not that simple.

"I happened to visit the scene two months ago, trust me."

The old liar smiled, leaning forward slightly, seeing Chen Xian's eyes full of trust.

"Only you can do this."
