On September 17, the train from Dongdu made several transfers and finally arrived in Zhongdu. A professor who was going to participate in the conference entered this city at the center of humanity two weeks in advance.
After a tiring journey, Zhongdu prepared a place for them to settle down early in the morning.
It's not a luxurious villa, nor a remote and secluded residential area, but a mountain.
"It's actually here?"
Xu Shengnan looked at this famous mountain with its highest point over 500 meters in front of him, far away from the Hunter Guild Headquarters, and a bit of surprise flashed across his face.
This is the highest mountain in Zhongdu and the most famous scenic spot, Qingyu Mountain. There are four white pagodas surrounding the mountain halfway up the mountain. As long as you climb to the top of the tower, you can see almost half of Zhongdu. There are many tourists every day.
Before, she only knew where she was going, but she didn't know it would be here.
Among the professors, it was obvious that some of them knew about this mountain. They asked strangely: "Didn't Yanqiu Shenxing say that he would take us to our residence? Let's leave the tour of Zhongdu's beautiful scenery to the next few days."
"Please be patient for a moment." Siren Yanqiu's voice could calm any anxiety. He faced the professors and said: "In order to ensure everyone's safety, the Hunter Association has arranged an absolutely safe residence for all professors. Please follow me.
bring it on."
Surprised, everyone followed and walked onto a hidden path. The path was not flat. Aizen half-supported Professor Wu Sen considerately, and Shuye made a slightly staggering step like a human old man. A clear understanding arose in his heart.
That's the place we went to.
Tu Honghong and Bai Ling also knew.
After walking for about ten minutes, the normal mountaineering path has been thrown to the other side. Yanqiu came to an old tree at the foot of the mountain. He reached out and pressed hard on the tree - click.
In the surprised eyes of the professors, the mountain in front of them cracked open, and an open road appeared, leading into the mountain!
"This is?"
"Is there still a place like this in Zhongdu?"
"Shelter?"
"No, it doesn't look like it was just built in a day or two. Could it be used for..."
Some professors had some suspicions, and Yan Qiu nodded lightly and said: "With the authority of all professors, you should know most of the secrets of 'gods' and change their cultivation. Inside is the place where the senior divine hunters lived in seclusion after they changed their cultivation, Qingyu Village, and now
There is no need to hide anything anymore.”
When you change from a divine hunter to a cultivator, you need to be devoured by the lowest level of demons and have to walk the demon's path of cultivation all over again, so you are very vulnerable when you first convert to a cultivator.
There must be a place to live and practice, and it can be regarded as a great hermitage in the city. This famous mountain far away from the guild headquarters is a suitable place.
At the same time, the several retreats here are also one of the greatest heritage and security guarantees for human beings. It is difficult for the demon side to know how many of the divine hunters who have transitioned to practice have died, and how many have returned to the level of divine hunters.
, even just one step short of merging magic and spiritual power to become a god.
'President Huang', who was closest to finding out the truth, died in Ji Xing's hands more than ten years ago.
Everyone continued to follow Yan Qiu, passing through the long mountain corridor, and suddenly the scenery opened up before their eyes.
It should have borrowed the power of space powers and technology at the same time. Although it is inside the mountain, the land in front can receive sunlight. If it were not for the dome rock wall, the scene in front of it would be like an ordinary suburban village.
The roads are flat, the houses are neat, there are even artificial rivers, and the scenery is beautiful.
While their eyes lingered and marveled at the transformation of the interior of the mountain by the power of the hunter, everyone also noticed the three figures approaching.
The one standing on the left has a big belly, like a meat-and-wine monk, with a full face and a smile. His unique appearance is very obvious. Anyone who knows something about the divine hunter basically knows that this is the original divine hunter No. 007 - Tang
Bi.
The person standing on the right is tall and thin, with dark complexion and luxuriant sideburns like a beard. He has quite a bit of an 'atavistic' sign. He is the original No. 002 Divine Hunter Yuan Yu. The story of this person is also known by many people.
I heard that because I couldn't bear it, I let go of my supervisor Kong Yangzheng who had failed when he was trying to change cultivation. He stayed at Qinglong Fortress for decades to atone for his sins.
Their unique experience has also brought them the convenience of transformation. Now they have reached the peak of spiritual power and magic. They are only one step away from breaking through and becoming gods, which is the pinnacle of combat power in the human race.
And since the handsome young man who can accompany them on both sides is not one of the four gods of the human race today, he can only be...
"Professor Li He." Yanqiu called.
This person...is Li He?
For the sake of safety, Ji Xing's appearance is rarely displayed in images and photos. Even the image in the textbook is of a small black man.
Except for Bai Ling, Shu, Tu Hong, whose eyes flashed with amusement, and Aizen, who looked surprised and admired, it was the first time for the other professors to see Ji Xing.
Compared with ordinary people, he is no different, and there is nothing special about his appearance.
It is said that there is no one who is first in literature and no one in martial arts. However, professors and researchers who have made great achievements in different fields have to recognize Li He as "the first in literature" and sincerely respect and respect him.
Ji Xing did not hold his hand, walked quickly between them, and stretched out his hand to the tree first: "Is this Professor Wu Sen? I have long admired his name."
"Professor Li He, I have long admired your name." Shu gave him a knowing smile.
Ji Xing continued to shake hands.
"Professor Sun Yu...Associate Professor Liu Nian...Associate Professor Song Pinglan...I've admired you for a long time...Hey, I've admired you for a long time."
Everyone greeted each other politely, the atmosphere became a little warmer, and everyone had a basic understanding. Ji Xing said to everyone: "I have a lot to talk with you, but let's forget it today. Everyone has come from afar, and it's getting late.
Okay, let's have dinner first and have a night's rest before we talk.
It is a great honor for me to host the meeting on October 1st. I will disturb you all frequently in the following period."
"Don't disturb, don't disturb."
"I still have some doubts about the method of detecting monsters using genetic information. This time I finally have the opportunity to communicate with you in person. Please don't think I'm intrusive."
After exchanging greetings and holding each other, each visitor was arranged into the corresponding residence. Tang Bi and Yuan Yu also introduced and communicated with them.
When the village returned to calm, Xu Shengnan returned to Ji Xing and took a deep breath: "Finally, we're done. This journey is more tiring than fighting!"
Ji Xing smiled and said: "What's the matter, Sister Shengnan, which professor is hard to get along with?"
"It's easy to get along with them. But when facing them, I have to take care of their physical condition at all times to prevent anyone from having a headache, fever, or discomfort. I even have to hold my voice down when I speak. It's too suffocating.
Got it!"
She shook her head and said: "Tang Shenlie, Yuan Shenlie, you will have to worry about it next."
"All we have to do is ensure their safety in the next three months." Yuan Yu's voice was calm and he looked at Yanqiu: "Xiaoqiu, I haven't seen you for decades. It seems that you have been doing well these years."
Today, Yanqiu is already a divine hunter numbered 017, and can serve as the general person in charge to protect the professors from Dongdu when they come to Zhongdu.
He smiled slightly and said: "Fortunately, Senior Brother Yuan Yu, when did you change cultivation?"
"Ten years ago, I had to thank you for this." Yuan Yu said: "...it's about the teacher."
"It just happened to happen, and I didn't help much." Yan Qiu shook his head: "Both Shengnan and Professor Li He have experienced it firsthand."
"Ah, if it hadn't been for that damn girl Tu Honghong, we would have told her that she was there." Xu Shengnan said, "Although I understand, I don't care, but Yuan Shenlie, have you apologized to Li He?"
"Of course." Yuan Yu nodded heavily.
Ji Xing said with a smile: "Let bygones be bygones. Along the way, we have reunited after a long separation, and we share the same sorrow. There is no need to call me Professor Li He politely, just call me by my name."
It was you who took me to Zhongdu back then... By the way, how is your Spirit Eagle Brown Brown?"
"Yes." Yanqiu nodded: "Zangzhuang has been warning us in the sky along the way to help us prevent attacks from demons. Now he is looking for food outside the city. But as an eagle, it has gradually entered old age. If
If we can no longer break through in terms of strength, I’m afraid we only have twenty years left in our lifespan.”
"Tsk tsk tsk, dear friends, we share adversity together, brothers." At this time, Tang Bi gestured to several other high-level hunters who were participating in the escort: "It doesn't seem like anything will happen to us here, haha. We still have to wait for my apprentice Yi Nan to come back.
, he is in charge of the Western Capital, and when Yanqiu Capital arrives, they should be here soon."
This is actually a hidden boast - Yuan Yu, your junior brother is on the same level as my apprentice.
Yuan Yu glanced at him: "Yi Nan is indeed an incredible genius. He has barely reached the age of 35 and is about to catch up with you, Lao Tang. As long as he can survive the war, he is not far from where I was before."
The corners of Tang Bi's eyes trembled.
Xu Shengnan laughed and said: "Is Yi Nan the person in charge of the Xidu train? That's amazing, boy, what is the number now? I should be able to take a few days off this time. Li He, are you free? By the way.
,Why isn’t Xiaoai here?”
"She is..."
Everyone was talking and laughing.
In the distant house, Aizen opened the window to let some air in. He happened to meet his neighbor Tu Honghong who was also opening the window. The two looked at each other. Tu Honghong gave Aizen a shy but bold look.
Aizen returned the gesture with a gentle smile.
Everything is harmonious and safe.
…
At the same time, outside Zhongdu City, on the top of a hill, a scene that would be shocking to Yan Qiu was unfolding!
With a wingspan of more than 15 meters, the rich and handsome brown spiritual eagle lowered its head and respectfully faced an old man with white beard and hair in front of it.
"Lord Yanlong." It spoke humanly: "No one along the way doubted my identity. No matter Yanqiu or other divine hunters, no one thought that I would eat the brain of a spiritual eagle and transform into an eagle."
"Hmph, sure enough." The old man opposite hummed: "Genetic information testing? No one would go out of their way to test the blood of an eagle. Did you find anything?"
"Yes. Among the researchers in Dongdu, there is a man named Aizen, who has the strength of a low-level divine hunter." It replied: "He has contributed to several demon attacks.
And a female researcher named Zhu Erya who often hangs around him occasionally shows a strange and ferocious look. Based on her appearance, she is probably the Thousand Sons Demon, Raisa!"
"Raisa?" The old man narrowed his eyes: "That guy who has countless clones, is difficult to catch, and often alternates between male and female images?"
"That was decades ago, Master Yanlong." Lingying said: "According to the intelligence, it was likely that it had already begun to transform into a cultivator, under the pseudonym Tu Honghong, and was exposed to the public more than ten years ago. I restore
His face is also painted red."
"Already started to change training? Then why is she staring at Aizen?" Yanlong first asked, then stared: "Researcher? Who is she following?"
"There is a female professor named Zhu Lingyin, who is her aunt. I only spied on her from a distance a few times, but found nothing."
"Aunt..." The old man fell into deep thought, looked towards the direction of Zhongdu City, and murmured: "White Antelope?"
It is the God of the Flame Dragon, the powerful god of demons that the human race's Azure Dragon Fortress fights against. It is the first god born in this 300-year period, and is the most visible and recognized among the ten gods today!
"If it's Bai Antelope, it can be done."
More than three years ago, he sent five demon gods, including Demon God Dida, who was numbered 001 at the time, to come to Zhongdu to kill Li He, but in the end not even a splash appeared.
He has always been deeply puzzled, until now, he finally felt that a corner of the truth had been revealed.
That woman Bai Ling also killed the God of Gale with Shu and Ji Xing.
Are you going to side with humanity?
That's a bit dangerous.
"The war is approaching, let me see what you are doing, Bai Ling."
…
Hunter's Guild, building rooftop.
A tall and burly figure, like a star in the mysterious tower, was sitting cross-legged on the edge, looking far in the direction of Qingyu Mountain.
"Ah sneeze~!"
Suddenly he sneezed heavily.
"I have a bad premonition. There should be no problem over at Qingyu Mountain. Is it from the outside world?"
Shaking his head, his body suddenly turned into blue liquid and spread flat on the entire rooftop.
"Forget it, the sun is going down soon, hurry up and get some sunbathing. With me here, it doesn't matter if there are more fish that you can't think of."
He is one of the four gods of the human race, the second human to be promoted to god, the God of Steel, Wang Xu.
…
Time flies by and the sun sets.
At the moment when it turned dark, the door of a house in the DC area of Zhongdu banged with an overwhelming sound, and Xu Shengnan's extremely loud voice echoed at the same time.
"Dad! I'm back!"
Xu Jingtang poked his head out of the kitchen: "You will be stuck and won't miss a meal. Please clean up quickly. It will be ready in five minutes."
"Dad, we haven't seen each other for several months, and this is your attitude?" If others saw Xu Shengnan's slightly coquettish attitude, their jaws would definitely drop.
Xu Jingtang hummed: "What's the difference between you and me? You're a 45-year-old girl, and I still have to cook for you every time at home. You eat eight times more than a normal person, and cooking for you alone will make your back sore!"
"You don't know your backache when you play chess." Xu Shengnan stood close and tiptoed to look at the dishes, and said passionately: "Don't I love eating your food? It tastes exactly like my mother's. Oh, I really miss her. You do too, right?
You haven’t thought about finding a wife all these years?”
"Go, go, go! What are the same? There are no two people who can cook the same food."
"Hehe, it's true, believe me." Xu Shengnan walked towards the bedroom with a smile: "Although it is a long-lasting memory, the stronger the power, the clearer the memory. Things in my childhood are like yesterday to me. You
, and my mother are just like the same mold, a perfect match!"
"snort--"
All he got was a "shy" hum from the old man, and Xu Shengnan smiled and packed his things.
She hadn't returned home for several months, and her room was still clean. She opened the desk drawer and threw her wallet in. She was about to close the drawer when she paused.
"Hey, this..."
She took out a yellowed old photo from the drawer with two big fingers: "This."
The photo is not complete.
The original rectangular photo of five people was cropped like a dog chewing, leaving only three people.
Because the other two are demons.
"In the blink of an eye, it's been almost twenty years."
The last time I went back to Jinhui City, I found that the son of the old president Gong Linghui had grown up and had a family and had children. He must be happy because he knew what he was doing.
The girl who was painted red died somewhere.
"Hey, during that time, I was so scared that I didn't dare to take pictures. It was really embarrassing. Isn't everything fine? We are reunited today."
Move forward along Qiushenhunting.
Li He is world-famous.
I, Xu Shengnan... am ordinary?
"Tsk, it's still embarrassing."
She wiped the old photo and carefully inserted it into the photo frame on the desktop.
"Look for Li He, Xiao Ai, Yi Nan and the others to take a photo together in two days."
