Beyond Deep Space

And as early as that time, that is, two years ago, the middle-aged man with short hair predicted that the old art experimental class would inevitably be disbanded, and this investment project would be stranded.

"Why did you find me?" Wang Xuan asked him seriously back then.

The middle-aged man with short hair told him that it was the investment project of the old art experimental class that first attracted his attention. Then, he observed everyone in the class, and finally only liked two people.

Others in the class are not determined enough and doubt the old techniques. Even if they follow the old path, their achievements will be limited.

In fact, after Wang Xuan embarked on the road of the old technique, he was really out of control, and he succeeded in collecting qi and nourishing his body within a few years.

The middle-aged man with short hair thinks that Wang Xuan has great potential, and he will probably have extraordinary achievements on the road of old arts.

This organization is relatively free and loose, but its strength is beyond doubt. At the same time, it is very mysterious. Its tentacles have already entered the starry sky, reaching new stars.

"Under the formal introduction, you can call me Aoki." The short-haired middle-aged man wearing a blue mask broke the silence.

"Do I count as joining?" Wang Xuan asked.

Aoki said: "Not counting, you are one of the potential seedlings I have selected in recent years, but you are not the only one."

"What kind of test do you have to pass?"

"Yes, this is an existing rule. Although I am optimistic about you, I can't change it."

Aoki, a middle-aged man with short hair, told him that there would be an expedition within two days, which could be used as his assessment, and asked him whether he would participate.

"Participate!" Wang Xuan nodded.

"After joining us, you have a general understanding of what you will experience before, but now I still want to emphasize, what does exploration mean? Naturally, there will be dangers, and even life-threatening risks. You have to think about it."

Wang Xuan said: "No problem, I have thought it through."

Aoki was very serious, and said: "You can live here, we must make sure that no news will be leaked before this, because this operation is very important!"

Wang Xuan expressed his understanding, and it is no problem to stay here.

Holding a golden bamboo slip, he looked at Aoki behind the mahogany desk and said, "Can I ask some questions?"

Aoki said: "See what the problem is. If some amazing secrets are involved, even if you successfully join us, you need an equivalent exchange."

Wang Xuan asked: "I want to know, is the end of the old art path the top alchemist, and there is really no way to go?"

Aoki sighed, and said: "I understand your feelings, because I also started from practicing old techniques. This road is too difficult, and it takes countless hard work and sweat. It takes decades, and it is difficult to achieve success. The highest peak is the alchemist, and the end has been determined."

Sure enough, it was the same answer, the same conclusion as the life research on Nova's side.

"In fact, the most pessimistic thing is that even if you already know where the end of the road is, few people can reach that height. It’s completely gone since then.”

The old techniques are declining more and more, alchemists have long been legends, and it is difficult to spy on them.

"The place where the alchemist is standing is the end of the road. Has no one tried to continue exploring?" Wang Xuan asked.

"It's easier said than done. For generations, even true alchemists have never been able to appear again. How dare future generations dare to think about this." Aoki shook his head bitterly, and said: "In ancient times, there were some powerful people who wanted to continue to deduce the road. But unfortunately, no one has ever succeeded."

"Why are those alchemists able to push the old techniques to the extreme, and the latecomers will never be able to surpass them?" Wang Xuan asked.

"Do you think it is the result of several alchemists' hard work? No, it is the result of generations of powerful alchemists who have continuously perfected the old techniques. In the end, there is really no way out, and the top alchemists may be ancient humans. The strongest individual in the world."

……

That night, Aoki asked Wang Xuan to prepare all kinds of equipment needed for the expedition, including alloy knives, daggers, protective clothing, imitation human skin masks, etc.

Also, there are thermal weapons!

They set off in the early morning of the next day. They first came outside the city, boarded a small spaceship in a secret manor, and headed to Mount Qingcheng.

Small spaceships are so advanced that Old Earth's satellites cannot detect them.

It was the first time for Wang Xuan to sit in this kind of spaceship, and he felt very novel about everything, but he just observed calmly and didn't ask random questions.

He felt that he had a lot to learn.

Aoki personally participated in the operation, which shows that he attaches great importance to this operation.

Apart from Wang Xuan, there were four other people who were traveling with them, all wearing imitation human skin masks, and they didn't know what their real expressions were.

Aoki said: "The target is Qingcheng Mountain. This time, there are chaebols sending people from Xinxing to dig secretly in the mountain. Our target is also there!"

"What was discovered in Qingcheng Mountain that attracted the new star's chaebol?" someone asked.

Before the action, they have been keeping secrets. Even they didn't know the destination earlier.

Qing Mu was very serious, and said: "Someone seems to have discovered some remarkable records from the bamboo slips left by a pre-Qin alchemist, and the target is directly at Qingcheng Mountain."

"Are they still interested in the inheritance of the warriors?" Someone questioned, the new star has super skills, and the old skills have been officially abandoned.

Qing Mu was very solemn, and said: "On the deciphered bamboo slips, there are some secrets recorded. Qingcheng Mountain seems to have something that makes alchemists excited and excited, so this time the chaebol came secretly again."

The spirits of several people were lifted up, and even Wang Xuan's heart skipped a beat. There is a new discovery in Qingcheng Mountain?Let the alchemists worry about it, maybe it has something to do with... Lie Xian? !

The top powerhouse among the alchemists is considered to be the immortal.

But some people don't agree, thinking that it is more mysterious and powerful than alchemists.

"People from the Zhou family and the Ling family dug into the underground palace, and they found their target!" Aoki whispered, just now he got the latest secret report.

Wang Xuan's heart skipped a beat, who are those two? !

The time was not too long, and they were close to their destination.

Qingcheng Mountain is known as one of the four famous mountains of Taoism and one of the five immortal mountains.

It is also considered to be one of the birthplaces of Taoism. Zhang Daoling once preached in Qingcheng Mountain. There is a saying that he finally emerged in this mountain.

Chapter 15 Feathering

"Check the equipment!" Aoki's voice was low, reminding several people in the spaceship to get ready and start action soon.

The landform of Mount Qingcheng has clearly appeared on the screen of the spaceship. The mountain is full of verdant greenery, densely forested, surrounded by peaks, like a city wall.

After Wang Xuan put on the protective clothing, he felt a little heavy. It has a certain defensive effect on bullets and cold weapons, and can save his life at critical moments.

The alloy knife he was carrying was very sharp. If he really wanted to fight close to him, it was a very effective weapon. The dagger was also very useful. In a narrow area where he couldn't turn around, it was a fang that could kill the enemy.

"There is a piece of equipment that I don't know how to use." Wang Xuan didn't understand one of the small jars of liquid.

Aoki told him that the artificial iris was soaked inside, and wearing it would prevent identity leaks.

After Wang Xuan did so, he looked at a small mirror, his pupils turned light blue, and with the imitation human skin mask, he looked like a Westerner as a whole.

"Mount Qingcheng is related to Taoism and has a strong mysterious color. Could it be that something extraordinary has been dug up?" the "Black Tiger" who participated in this operation asked, quite interested.

They all use code names for each other, and no one mentions their real names.

Kite said: "We must stop them this time. They cannot be successfully taken away. The old soil is almost hollowed out by them. All the good things are transported to Xinxing and become the private collections of those research institutions and chaebols."

Mentioning these, several people were filled with resentment.

Now all over the old land, the underground of all famous mountains and rivers has been swept away, even Qingcheng Mountain is no exception, I don't know how many times it has been dug.

Now there is still a discovery, which is indeed beyond the expectations of the few of them.

As a novice, Wang Xuan asked if he didn't understand, "Will blocking them in this way be retaliated, and eventually lead to a large-scale conflict?"

Aoki shook his head and said: "No, even if the old land falls, it is not something that one or two chaebols can control and make waves. Besides, the relationship between the old land and the new star is not bad, after all, they have the same origin. You have to have confidence in the organization , we have already penetrated into the starry sky, and we are not afraid of them."

Heihu said: "First of all, it's the burglary that the chaebol secretly prodded. It's justified in itself, and you can't say anything if you are blocked. Afterwards, it will gradually calm down, and all parties will act as if nothing happened."

Of course, this does not mean that there is no danger. On the contrary, the conflict is very intense, and it is normal for casualties to occur.

Wang Xuan was silent. This kind of exploration was not in line with his original intention. In the early days, he thought it was just exploring some secret places, going deep into dangerous no-man's land, etc.

"High-energy weapons are set up in the mountains, and the people in the second and third groups can deal with them." A voice came from the screen.

Aoki responded: "Make sure everything is resolved, don't wait for us to enter the underground palace and be blocked by people inside."

"No problem, there is a fourth group on standby."

……

Wang Xuan awe-inspiring, this kind of expedition is already considered a small battle, far more than their group of people.

Aoki was very calm, as if he knew what was going on in his heart, and explained plainly: "If it involves something that made the pre-Qin warlocks excited and excited, if it is really related to Lie Xian, the value will be immeasurable, so this time must be safe, Several groups of men and horses dispatched together."

"Old Mu, it's time for you to concentrate and prepare super-strong electromagnetic pulses at any time to destroy the robots in the underground palace and the corresponding weapons."

Lao Mu will stay on the spaceship. In addition to taking them out at the end, he is also responsible for destroying some of the big killers that the opponent may have.

"Will they have countermeasures?" As a novice, Wang Xuan asked humbly.

Aoki is very serious: "Don't worry, we are very professional. Afterwards, you can slowly study our various steps and corresponding preparations."

Qingcheng Mountain is evergreen in all seasons. There are many stone steps and winding paths in the mountain. Some ancient Taoist temples are hidden on the cliffs and in the ancient forests.

There are too many legends about this place, and it is a famous Taoist paradise.

It's a pity that for tens of hundreds of years, the underground here has almost been dug into a spider web. It is really not easy to make new discoveries this time.

Qingmu, Heihu, Yaozi, Kite, and Xiao Wang entered the forest, leaving Lao Mu guarding in the spaceship.

Xiao Wang is Wang Xuan, which is his code name in the team.

Aoki led the way, like a nimble tiger and leopard walking silently through the mountains and forests, and the other few people were people who had practiced old techniques and were very strong, following behind him.

Soon, they arrived at their destination. The entrance to the underground palace excavated this time was at the foot of a relatively remote low mountain, on the edge of Mount Qingcheng. No wonder they missed it in the past.

Some robots are digging tirelessly, and have already penetrated into the mountainside, transporting out a large amount of earth and rock.

Although it was far away, the vague underground palace in the mountainside could already be seen.

Aoki made a gesture, telling them to stay calm and wait outside, waiting for the Zhou family and the Ling family to open the underground palace to get the things, and they blocked the exit to do it, there is no need to go in and take risks now.

Amidst the roar of the machinery, several stone doors were forcibly opened one after another.

"Dug through, the underground palace is huge!" A voice came from inside.

"There is an altar, I found it, and a golden letter is enshrined on it!" Excited shouts came from the underground palace, and a group of people cheered.

The people guarding the entrance couldn't hold back anymore, many people waited for the turbid air to dissipate, and then rushed in, wanting to see the golden letter that might be related to the relics of Lie Xian for the first time.

The black tiger, the kite, and the kite are also short of breath. They are people who practice old skills, and they pay more attention to the relics of the immortals.

Aoki was alright, he was extremely calm all the time, didn't say a word, silently waiting for the arrival of the last moment.

The kite said: "They are all rare items from the old land. As a result, they have almost been looted by them for tens of hundreds of years. This time, no matter what they say, they can't get them."

"It's almost there." Qing Mu used a secret line to contact Lao Mu, and said, "Old Mu, do it!"

Then, he ordered the second group and the third group to act together to solve the opponent's high-energy weapons ambush in the mountains.

First, all the robots near the underground palace broke down, some fell directly, while others crackled and sparks flew everywhere.

If these robots can't be solved in advance, it will be very troublesome. They are invulnerable and carry energy weapons, which can be regarded as big killers.

Even if they fight with knives, they are very lethal.

boom!

A strong shock wave came from the mountains, and the high-energy weapons prepared in advance by the Zhou family and the Ling family were destroyed.

"Killed them all?" Wang Xuan's face was not very good-looking, that was a lot of lives, and for him, he had never experienced it before.

Aoki replied calmly: "No, most of them are just stunned, mainly to clean up their weapons."

boom!

The next moment, an explosion occurred outside the underground palace, and the earth and rocks collapsed, submerging the entrance and completely blocking it.

There was a faint roar in the underground palace, and everyone was blocked inside.

There was no movement in Siye, and no one came to help the trapped people.

Aoki waited for a while, and then began to give another order: "Five groups, six groups follow, wait for the opportunity to enter the underground palace."

"Suffocate them all?" Wang Xuan felt a chill, this kind of adventure was very different from what he had imagined.

Heihu shook his head and said: "No, under normal circumstances we don't kill animals, and when they faint from lack of oxygen, we will dig the entrance and go in."

Aoki said: "I really hope to find a more powerful inheritance than the alchemist's root method, otherwise, our future will have no way out, even the old masters are vulnerable to hot weapons."

He felt that born in this era, people who practiced old techniques felt a deep sense of powerlessness. For them, there was no hope in the future.

"The voice is wrong. They are digging the mountain wall in the opposite direction with energy weapons, and they want to escape from another direction!" Aoki stood up abruptly. Many people came to hunt.

Heihu didn't think so, and said, "How far can they dig? This is a big mountain."

"Don't forget that Mount Qingcheng has been dug dozens or hundreds of times, and the underground is empty. There are many cobweb-like roads. Maybe they can dig through one. It will be very troublesome for us to chase after that."
