Fortunately, this group of people are either big monsters or well-trained Taoist people, and there is no problem climbing a mountain.

But just from climbing the mountain, we can see the gap between them and Mr. Ruan and others. The eight people on the island almost floated up with their toes, but the people in the bureau climbed up firmly.

After reaching the summit, an hour had passed, and everyone was hungry, standing there trying to adjust their breathing.

Mr. Ruan and the others were not in a hurry, they just stood there relaxedly and waited for their group to rest slowly.

It was easier for Xia Qinghe, he was carried up by Zhang Xian with one hand.

To be honest, it was not very comfortable to do this, but Bai Ze insisted on letting him do this, so Xia Qinghe obediently obeyed.

After all, no one can not listen to Mr. Bai Ze's words, let alone talk about his status, just look at his pair of eyes full of wisdom and gentleness, no one will resist his words.

Zhang Xian put Xia Qinghe down and said in a low voice, "Did you see the gap between you?"

"I see." Xia Qinghe said: "The spiritual energy absorbed since childhood is different, and the degree of cultivation is of course also different. But fortunately, we have a lot of people, the whole island is only a few hundred people, but how many people are there outside? You didn't Have you ever heard that there is power in numbers?"

Bai Ze said: "Qinghe is right. There are many people outside. Moreover, the most amazing thing about human beings is that once the critical moment comes, they will be very united."

"As expected of you, you have always been so close to human beings." Zhang Xian said lightly.

"Hey, you don't like humans, so stay away from us." Bai Wei waved his little paw with a look of disgust, "Go away, go!"

Zhang Xian immediately said: "When did I say such a thing? Am I not friendly enough to your owner?"

"Hmph." Bai Wei snorted and ignored him.

Bai Ze chuckled: "You too, after all these years, you will never learn how to please him."

Zhang Xian whispered, "What can I do?"

Xia Qinghe suddenly felt that this conversation was a bit weird. He is also an adult who is being pursued by someone now, so his thinking is naturally different from before.

"I said, what is the relationship between you and Captain Zhang?" Xia Qinghe asked Bai Wei in a low voice.

The kitty said, "It doesn't matter, let's count it as a friend...it should be counted as a friend."

Xia Qinghe looked at Zhang Xian's expression, and suddenly felt as if he had discovered some terrible secret.

When talking, the group of people had almost adjusted their breathing, so Mr. Ruan said: "It's almost time, please come in with me."

The area on the top of the mountain is not large, but a beautiful courtyard and a platform made of stone slabs were built.

The other places are full of flowers and trees, which look lush and lush, and every leaf looks particularly watery, which is quite different from the plants in other places.

One side of the platform was a cliff. Xia Qinghe and Bai Ze went over to take a look. The cliff was very steep, and the sea was below, and the sound of waves hitting the rocks could be heard.

There is also a pulley here, and a huge bamboo basket is tied to the platform, and directly below the pulley is a small piece of flat land at the bottom of the cliff, through which supplies should usually be transported up.

Mr. Ruan walked in the front. He knocked lightly on the courtyard door, and a lively and lovely boy ran out and opened the door.

"Brother Ruan, Master has been waiting for a long time. Why did the guests come? Didn't they go up the mountain a long time ago? Did you catch rabbits on the way?"

The boy looked like he had just grown up, with big eyes and white skin, wearing a pure white short shirt and trousers, a pair of black cloth shoes, his slightly long hair combed into a high ponytail, and his voice was soft and glutinous. With a little local accent, it sounds very comfortable.

Mr. Ruan said: "The guests are not used to mountain roads, so they walked slowly."

"If I had known earlier, I should have asked me to put down the big basket and come up directly from the big basket. Wouldn't it be much faster?" the boy said, "Come in quickly, I'm hungry, and Master hasn't eaten yet."

The courtyard was a courtyard with gray walls and black tiles. The young man directly led everyone into the room facing the gate.

The room was very big, but it was empty inside, only four tables for the Eight Immortals were placed.

Sitting behind a table in the middle is a man with white hair and a childlike face. His face looks very young, not more than 30 years old, but his hair is pure white, and he is tied into a bun with a meridian hairpin. His real age is unknown.

However, Deputy Director Li said before that the current island owner of Penglai Xianshan had taken over at least in the late Qing Dynasty, so he should be more than 100 years old no matter what.

An old man over 100 years old has such youthful and elastic skin that the ladies in the bureau are all envious of him.

"Hello, island owner, I am the deputy director of the Special Operations Bureau. My surname is Li. This is..." Deputy director Li pointed to the accompanying people and began to introduce them one by one.

The island owner casually listened to his introduction, and said softly: "Welcome to Penglai, everyone. We haven't been out for a long time, and we don't know much about the outside world. You are ordered to come to work. If you need anything, just ask, Ruan Er will definitely answer. Meet all your requirements."

"Thank you, Island Master."

"Please take a seat, we can have dinner." The island owner said: "The conditions on the island are simple and the food is simple, so please don't mind."

The voice of the island owner sounded a little unreal, his person was sitting in front of him, but the voice seemed to come from another distant time and space, even Bai Ze frowned slightly.

Xia Qinghe also smelled a little bit of something wrong after he entered the room, but when he read the news carefully, he couldn't smell the something wrong again, only the sandalwood scent wafting quietly from the corner of the room Son.

The seats for eating are not just sitting casually. On the table of the Eight Immortals, there are names of each person written on red paper.

The people on the island say that they haven't been out for a long time and they don't know anything about the outside world, but they even know things like table cards, which shows that nothing is true.

Deputy Director Li looked calm and composed, but there was a little concealed caution in his eyes.

The names of several members of the Demon Management Bureau were placed on the island owner's table, and there was also Deputy Director Li's.

To everyone's surprise, Xia Qinghe's name was also at the island owner's table.

He didn't mind sitting there, and when everyone else sat down, he also sat down at the bottom.

Like everyone on the island, the island owner also has a good-looking appearance, delicate and refined, with white hair all over his head, he looks like a fairy.

It's just that his eyes are not big, and he often looks down, so people can't see his eyes clearly.

After everyone sat down, the door-opening boy who came out just now brought several boys of similar age over to serve the dishes.

Penglai Xianshan has always been self-sufficient, so the meals are very simple. Each person has a bowl of vegetables, a bowl of rice, and a glass of water. There are fried vegetables and steamed fish in the bowls. The rice is brown rice, which can be regarded as a combination of meat and vegetables.

Deputy Director Li looked at the food and said a few words of thanks first. After Bai Ze tasted it and there was no problem, everyone in the bureau raised their chopsticks and started eating.

Xia Qinghe took off his mask, used his nose to confirm that there was no problem with the food and drinking water, and then started to eat.

Bai Wei looked at the steamed fish in his bowl, and meowed that he wanted to eat it too.

Xia Qinghe was just about to take out a piece for Bai Wei, when the boy brought another rough porcelain bowl over: "This is for your cat."

There was half a bowl of steamed fish in the bowl, Xia Qinghe thanked him immediately.

"You're welcome, I also raised a cat, which is much fatter than yours. Cat, you have to eat more to gain weight quickly." After the boy finished speaking, he ran away with a smile .

Bai Wei squatted on the stool and started to eat fish. The others were already hungry, so they also ate very deliciously.

Only the island owner seemed to have lost his appetite. He stopped after eating a few chopsticks of vegetables.

Deputy Director Li said: "The island owner only eats this little, will he lose his energy?"

The island owner waved his hand: "I have been eating very little these years, and I am getting older, and it is almost time to find the next island owner."

As soon as the words came out, Mr. Ruan immediately said: "Master, what you said is wrong. Master is strong and healthy, so there is no need to worry about it."

The island owner smiled and said: "They always say that, but I have lived for so long, and it is normal to go west whenever. If we have a new island owner here, we will send someone out to inform you of."

"I think Mr. Ruan's words are correct. Although I have limited skills, I can see that the island owner is in good health and has a long breath. I really don't need to worry about the new island owner." Deputy Director Li said: "The island owner has always lived in the island. Is it at the top of the mountain?"

"Yes, I don't like places with many people. I just like this place. It's quiet. It's just troublesome for them. People always have to take turns to take care of me." The island owner said: "I will meditate for a few days later, so I won't entertain you any more. .”

Deputy Director Li chatted with the island owner for a while, but they didn't come up with any useful information.

After all, he is an old fox who has lived for many years, so he must be much smarter than Deputy Director Li.

Afterwards, the island chief went to rest, and Mr. Ruan led everyone down the mountain.

It is so difficult when going up the mountain, and even more difficult when going down the mountain. Everyone needs to work hard to prevent themselves from slipping or falling.

Xia Qinghe was still the one with the most trouble, and Zhang Xian carried him down again.

Mr. Ruan looked at Xia Qinghe's young and immature face, and couldn't help asking: "What is the origin of this little gentleman, that he can be carried up and down by a big monster?"

Deputy Director Li said: "This one? This one is a young master who usually raises gold. I heard that Penglai Xianshan is rich in aura, so the family asked us to bring him here to see the world. He also has a background in his family, so The people from the Demon Control Bureau should also give him some face."

Mr. Ruan raised his eyelids, and looked at Xia Qinghe with a critical look: "It's hard work for you, and you have to carry this burden when you come out to work."

"Anyway, there are big monsters taking care of him, so I don't have to worry about it." Deputy Director Li said: "Next, we are going to start work, first of all is the population statistics..."

Deputy Director Li and the others were working there, Xia Qinghe followed Bai Ze and Zhang Xian, and a man and a woman followed them all the time, not far or near.

Zhang Xian said in a low voice: "They don't seem to know our origin. Deputy Director Li said you are a young master, and Ruan Er believed it."

Xia Qinghe said: "No, he didn't believe it, he pretended to be that way on purpose."

Zhang Xian was stunned: "How can I see that?"

"After we went to the island, only Deputy Director Li and the other main characters introduced themselves at the pier. The rest of us didn't say anything, but when we got to the top of the mountain, there was a sign with each of our names on the table. I looked carefully After that, every word is correct." Xia Qinghe said: "If they didn't know our origins in advance, how did they know those names?"

Bai Ze said: "That's right, they knew about it a long time ago, and they also knew that Qinghe is the master of Yiguan, that's why they arranged him to sit at the main table. The thing just now was just a pretense."

"Then what else do you see?" Zhang Xian asked anxiously.

Bai Ze said in a low voice, "It's not convenient to talk about it here."

Zhang Xian looked at a man and a woman not far behind him, and couldn't help but click his tongue.

Xia Qinghe took out a hardcover notebook and a pencil from his bag, and began to write on it.

After writing a line, he handed it to Zhang Xian.

When Zhang Xian saw it, his whole body shuddered, and he was not feeling well.
