Company rules prohibit employees from fighting, except for Wang Zhenqiu!
Anyone who wants to beat him up has to wait in line and enter a lottery!
It's only been less than a year!
In less than a year since Wang Zhenqiu became a temporary worker for NaDuTong in the Southwest region, the reputation of the Southwest region has plummeted.
What a crime!
"Alright, Qiu'er, stop acting cute. I want you to teach Zeng Xiaoxian the basic techniques of the Fire Virtue Sect!"
Hao Yi revealed his true purpose.
"If Zeng Xiaoxian is really my nephew whom I have never met, then he possesses the bloodline of the Vermilion Bird and his cultivation of the Fire Virtue Sect's techniques will surely progress by leaps and bounds. Otherwise, I am just overthinking it."
"You don't need to worry about him too much!"
Wang Zhenqiu waved his hand dismissively, "I didn't care about him anyway... I was more concerned about that guy named Li Yang!"
Li Yang?
Hao Yi followed Wang Zhenqiu's gaze to Li Yang, his expression turning serious.
"Headquarters investigated his background, and it was very clean, but too clean. It's as if his identity information was designed by someone!"
"Headquarters sent people to investigate the places listed in his file where he had lived, but they couldn't find anyone who knew him!"
"He seemed to appear out of nowhere... Headquarters wanted to investigate further, but was stopped by higher-ups, and his file was classified as top secret!"
"So, Qiu'er, don't be too curious about him, and definitely don't test him!"
Wang Zhenqiu rolled his eyes. "Old Hao, are you annoying? People just like him because he's so handsome. His looks are practically glued to my heart!"
Hao Yi thought Wang Zhenqiu was about to have another episode, and said irritably:
"The Northwest Regional Manager contacted me. They've found Chen Yulou and obtained a map of human skin leading to the Tomb of the King of Xian from him!"
"Old Hua has already sent someone by plane to deliver the human skin map, and he has stated that he wants to cooperate with us!"
"After all, the Jingjue Ancient City, which this expedition team is ultimately heading to, is within his jurisdiction. It is a very dangerous place, a ticking time bomb that could explode at any moment!"
"If I'm not mistaken, the people Lao Hua sent are temporary workers from the Northwest region. Go and meet them!"
Wang Zhenqiu reluctantly shifted his interest away from Li Yang.
"A temporary worker in the Northwest region? I might want to check him out and see if he's as interesting as me!"
Li Yang was unaware that Hao Yi had already guessed Zeng Xiaoxian's true identity.
but.
The fact that Zeng Xiaoxian possessed the Vermilion Bird bloodline was not a secret in the Underworld; Zhao Li had told him about it on the very first day.
Li Yang wouldn't say anything even if he knew about Hao Yi's decision.
How can Zeng Xiaoxian awaken the Vermilion Bird bloodline ahead of time?
That's really good!
In this way, the strength of their Love Apartment was enhanced!
perhaps.
The only thing that puzzled Li Yang was why Zhuque's surname was Hao.
Even though Zeng Xiaoxian's original name was Hao Yun, he took his adoptive father's surname.
After all, in the "Animal Control Bureau" storyline, Hao Yun's parents were actually agents of the Animal Control Bureau who infiltrated Zhu Que's circle and stole Zhu Que's child during the chaos.
All I can say is that the storylines in this world are a bit messy!
After one hour.
Wang Zhenqiu led a short, chubby middle-aged man with glasses and a submissive expression into the hotel.
Upon seeing the man's appearance and hearing his claim that he was an employee from the Northwest region of Nadutong, Li Yang instantly guessed his identity.
Temporary worker in the Northwest Region... Old Meng!
Super Beast Tamer!
He can not only control various birds, beasts, and insects, but also manipulate the increase, decrease, and mutation of bacteria in the target's body!
Become a one-of-a-kind biologist in the world!
With his addition, this trip to Yunnan Insect Valley was like adding wings to a tiger!
Chapter Seventeen: The Guide to Zhelong Village! The Choice of the Underground River!
The archaeological team for the tomb of King Xian has been assembled.
This small team of fewer than twenty people consists of three parts.
On one side are Professor Chen and his students, all ordinary people who are only interested in archaeology.
The other side is naturally the Love Apartment group led by Li Yang and Hu Yifei, along with Shirley Yang, Hu Bayi, and Fatty Wang.
After all, Shirley Yang and Li Yang had already been intimate, and Hu Bayi was Hu Yifei's cousin, so they were very close.
The other side consisted of Wang Zhenqiu and Lao Meng, two temporary workers who were known for their expertise in everything.
As semi-official personnel, Wang Zhenqiu and Lao Meng could serve as both support forces and oversee the archaeological operation.
Without much small talk, the group headed straight for Zhelong Mountain.
“Let’s go to Zhelong Village at the foot of the mountain first. Although the villagers there have moved away, the village has become a camp for forest rangers.”
"Most of those forest rangers are originally from Zhelong Village. We can find one of them to act as our guide!"
"It is said that there is an underground river in Zhelong Mountain. We can cross Zhelong Mountain directly through this river, which can save a lot of time, but we must have a guide to lead us!"
As a local strongman, Wang Zhenqiu arranged everything meticulously.
The off-road vehicle's powerful mobility and off-road capabilities allowed it to move smoothly on the muddy mountain road, and it soon arrived at a village.
This is Zhelong Village.
Most of the houses in the village are wooden, and more than half of them are covered with green vines. Some of the wooden houses have collapsed due to years of disrepair.
Only a few large wooden houses near the edge of the village were relatively clean, showing signs of being maintained.
Upon hearing the car, more than twenty people emerged from the wooden house, led by an elderly man in his sixties.
Upon seeing Li Yang and the others get out of the car, the old man and his men warmly greeted them.
"You must be the leaders from the provincial capital. My name is Enkuan. I used to be the clan chief of Zhelong Village. The community leaders told me that you need to find a guide who is familiar with the environment around Zhelong Mountain..."
"Zewa came out and greeted the leaders!"
Enkuan pulled a strong young man with a silver collar around his neck out from the crowd behind him.
"Leaders, what do you think of this young man? Don't let Zewa's young age fool you; he comes with me to Zhelong Mountain every year to worship our ancestors and is very familiar with the area!"
Others might not know, but Li Yang knew very well.
Zhelong Village is a setting added to the web series version of "Ghost Blows Out the Light," and is not part of the original novel.
Enkuan is the clan chief of Zhelong Village, and Zewa is his son.
In the web series, Enkuan intends to have Zewa succeed him as the new clan leader of Zhelong Village!
In order to help Zewa establish its authority, Enkuan led his people to pursue Hu Bayi and his group, while also coveting the treasure in the tomb of the Prince of Xian. However, the result was extremely tragic!
Zeva was killed by the Ho clan's immortal worms. Enkuan, finally overcome with remorse, sacrificed himself to protect his people's escape, sacrificing himself in the tomb.
But Eun-kwan still has selfish motives!
Community leaders promised him in advance that if someone from their clan could act as a guide, they could be placed in a public institution in the county after the event.
Even if you're just an ordinary clerk, you're still on the government payroll!
and so.
Eun-kwan wanted to give this opportunity to his son, Ze-wa!
But what he didn't know was that Li Yang was well aware of the character of him and his son, and directly refused:
"So, this Mr. Zewa has only been to Zhelong Mountain a maximum of twenty-odd times, right?"
"Zhelong Mountain is so big, can someone who has only been here twenty or so times really be familiar with the environment? Let's find someone else!"
Enkuan was stunned when his recommendation was rejected. He was also taken aback by Li Yang's youth and assumed he was a subordinate of the leader.
I didn't care at first, but to my surprise, not only did the others not object, but they also agreed wholeheartedly.
Enkuan was dumbfounded.
Only now did he belatedly realize that Li Yang, this young man, had a considerable amount of influence in this team!
Seeing that Li Yang, who was suspected of being a leader, had rejected Zeva, Enkuan sighed inwardly for a moment, then said, "The leader has considered everything very thoroughly. Then let me recommend someone else!"
Fortunately, he had a backup option!
As he spoke, Enkuan pulled another young man out of the crowd.
"His name is Zhalong, and he's a forest ranger here. No one knows the environment of Zhelong Mountain better than him!"
Zhalong is Enkuan's nephew. Since Zewa is not eligible for this government job, in accordance with the principle of keeping the benefits within the family, Enkuan recommended his eldest nephew!
Unfortunately, Li Yang rejected it again.
Because this Zhalong isn't a good thing either!
Li Yang looked at the strong, dark-skinned young men behind En Kuan and picked out the strongest one.
"What's your name?"
"Ada!"
"Are you a forest ranger too?"
"I've been here for five years!"
"Then it's you!"
Li Yang had chosen his own guide.
In the web series, Ada is a righteous character. He has a younger sister named Kongque. After Enkuan's death, Ada becomes the new leader of Zhelong Village!
Seeing this, Enkuan was completely dumbfounded. He wanted to say something more, but Li Yang led his men straight towards Zhelong Mountain without saying a word!
"Sigh, what a pity, such a good opportunity just went to that kid Ada!"
Enkuan sighed, but the other young forest rangers thought Li Yang had a good eye for talent.
They actually picked out their captain at a glance—the one with the highest combat strength, the best experience, and the best intelligence!
Yes.
Ada is the captain of the forest rangers!
Under his guidance, the group quickly found an underground cave in Zhelong Mountain.
A wide river flows from the ground into the cave and disappears into the darkness.
“If you just follow this river, you can traverse the entire Zhelong Mountain,” Ada explained, a hint of hesitation appearing on his face, “However…”
Li Yang said directly, "Speak your mind, don't beat around the bush. The tomb of the King of Xian is strange and dangerous. If you know anything, don't hide it!"
Ada then put aside his reservations and said, "This underground river is interconnected and has several branching points."
“In the past, when we went to Zhelong Mountain to pay respects to our ancestors, we always took a relatively smooth river route, and there was no danger at all!”
"But one time, my companions and I were boating when we accidentally entered another river channel. There were many stone figures hanging upside down in the caves above that channel, and a large group of things that looked like piranhas in the water..."
"In addition, I also saw the tail of a large snake; even just the tip of the tail was several tens of centimeters wide!"
"I wonder how long that snake will be, maybe thirty or fifty meters long!"
Li Yang understood.
The strange thing Ada mentioned was the evil object in the first gate of the Tomb of King Xian.
Human pupa! Razor-toothed viper! Blue-scaled python!
Moreover, those human pupae can hatch into extremely ferocious water hog wasps!
