Chapter 19 The Record of the Lanmeng Mountain Lord's Strange Knowledge?

Li ChengYi softly repeated the name.

"Mountain Lord, in ancient times, was generally a respectful title for hermits living in seclusion in the mountains. Lanmeng Mountain Lord should be a hermit named Lanmeng, who recorded these unusual insights?"

"Is this a tradition unique to the Yi Kingdom? Why would he live in the mountains?" Hei Yiselin couldn't understand.

"Perhaps because you can grow vegetables in the mountains," Li ChengYi casually blurted out.

"Then can't you grow vegetables outside the mountains?" Hei Yiselin asked, puzzled.

"You can, but look at how many plants there are in the mountains, they must grow faster there, right? Otherwise, why do so many plants like to squeeze into the mountains?" Li ChengYi continued to spout nonsense.

He himself continued to walk around the Blue Cave, going deeper.

He planned to explore this wolf cave dead end entirely.

But to his disappointment, the entire wolf cave wasn't large, only about the size of a basketball court.

The surrounding cave walls were covered with densely packed charcoal pencil writing.

Some were information about the Blue Book, and some were about that Lanmeng Mountain Lord.

Hei Yiselin read them all to him.

"So, this Lanmeng Mountain Lord should be an ancient person who lived in seclusion here many years ago. The specific era needs to be determined using an isotope detector, but this is a dead end, and there's no way to take things out..." Li ChengYi frowned after listening to all the information.

The scale of the wolf cave wasn't large, but there simply wasn't any Blue Book here.

The only mysterious and incomprehensible thing was the Blue Cave on the ground.

"According to Mr. Mu, the Blue Book exists inside the wolf cave, but I've turned this place upside down, and there's nothing..."

*Plop.*

Hei Yiselin was currently throwing a stone into the Blue Cave.

The stone stirred up ripples on the blue water surface.

The entire Blue Cave was like a well, surrounded by a circle of white stones.

Li ChengYi noticed that there seemed to be man-made engraved writing on the inner wall of the stones.

The writing didn't seem to be the same as the Black Sea script; it looked more like countless tiny crawling insects, and you couldn't recognize them as words unless you looked closely.

He looked up at Hei Yiselin, who understood and shook her head slightly.

"It's not the Black Sea script, and I don't recognize it either."

"There are obviously man-made traces here," Li ChengYi said. "Perhaps it's that Lanmeng Mountain Lord, or perhaps it's someone else. They arranged everything, and the purpose is likely for this Blue Cave."

"Then, Brother, what do you plan to do?" Hei Yiselin asked. "Do you want to jump in?" She seemed very interested in this.

"What if we can't come back?" Li ChengYi said speechlessly.

"But don't you think this is really interesting?" Hei Yiselin retorted.

Li ChengYi ignored her, picked up the suitcase in his hand, and tried to open the Fei Yi (Flying Instrument).

But there was no response; the Fei Yi was obviously malfunctioning.

He sighed, and with a grab of his right hand, a golden sword appeared out of thin air.

Holding the golden sword, he stirred the Blue Cave vigorously.

Then pulled it out.

The front half of the sword, where it entered the water, had completely disappeared.

"Indeed... just like Song Ge said."

"Huh? Wait! Brother, look!" Yiselin suddenly let out a low cry.

She pointed her finger at the surface of the Blue Cave, as if she had seen something.

Li ChengYi quickly looked in the direction she was pointing.

His eyes widened instantly.

He really saw something slowly floating up from under the Blue Cave water.

The blue water blurred his vision, but he could still see that it seemed to be a book.

An ancient thread-bound book with a color like withered leaves and brown spots all over it.

"Brother... what is that?" Yiselin unconsciously moved closer to him and asked in a low voice.

"I don't know... but if we can get it out..."

Li ChengYi guessed that it might be the so-called Blue Book.

He stared intently at the book, about to condense a longer golden sword to try to pick it out.

Suddenly, the ancient book slowly moved.

It began to float up slowly.

Closer and closer, clearer and clearer.

Slowly, it seemed to have floated to the surface of the water, only a shallow layer of water away from being able to be fished out.

It seemed that as long as someone reached out and grabbed it, they could pull it out of the water.

A line of small characters was also written on the cover of the book.

Yiselin recited softly from the side.

"Hidden for nine years, leaving this book here, whoever can touch it is allowed to borrow its power."

"It means, as long as you can touch it, get this book, you can borrow its power?"

Li ChengYi slowly condensed a meter-long golden sword in his hand.

He stared carefully at the book.

Took a deep breath.

*Poof!*

Suddenly, the golden sword in his hand plunged into the water and scooped upwards.

With a splash, the book scattered with the splashing water.

The golden sword was extremely fast and wasn't swallowed by the Blue Cave, but the book wasn't picked out at all.

Li ChengYi frowned slightly, looking at the rippling water surface.

The book quickly condensed again.

As if it was only a layer away from the water surface.

*Splash!*

Li ChengYi thrust into the water with both hands, continuously, but still couldn't pick out the ancient book from the water.

The book seemed to be a phantom.

"No wonder, no wonder it would say 'whoever can touch it'..." Li ChengYi narrowed his eyes.

"Brother, what do we do now?" Hei Yiselin asked.

At the same time, she was still curiously looking at the golden sword in Li ChengYi's hand that was slowly dissipating.

Obviously, this kind of method that suddenly appeared and then disappeared made her very curious.

"First, we must figure out how the boss was knocked unconscious by the Blue Book. Since the Blue Book is so difficult to even touch, then who has the ability to take it out easily, let someone look at it, and then put it back?" Li ChengYi said in a deep voice.

"Brother means someone is lying?" Yiselin quickly understood.

"Either, that He Bing has extremely secretive and precious methods that can take out the Blue Book and put it back.

Or..."

From the outside, the Jackal Cave was a round arched tomb entrance that looked like an earthen kiln cave.

Dense yellow dead grass mixed with light green branches and leaves hung down from above, covering most of the entrance.

Compared to the Wolf Cave, which had an entrance of three or four meters, this was a small cave. It was estimated that there wouldn't be much trouble.

That's what Song Ran and the others originally thought.

But after the series of manpower losses just now, everyone no longer underestimated it in the slightest.

At this time, exploration robots were released into it.

All the robots were spider-shaped and were transmitting the scene inside through night vision cameras.

Outside the cave, two company experts who controlled the robots were intently staring at the monitoring computer projection screen.

On the projection screen, which was suspended in mid-air, the dark and old tattered scene inside the tomb was now clearly imprinted in the vision of everyone present.

Gray soil ground, gray walls, some earthen tables, chairs, cabinets, decorations.

There were also some simple wolf-like patterns on the walls.

Black and twisted.

"We've reached the position of the team members just now. I'm preparing to adjust the viewing angle. Everyone, pay attention to the surroundings," an expert said in a deep voice.

But before he could finish speaking.

With a *poof*, one of the screens instantly went out and turned black.

"Something rushed over and smashed the camera!"

"That thing is very fast! It's like a black, hard object!" This time, with the camera, Song Ran could see it more clearly.

His expression was calm, and he quickly looked at the other screen.

But after a few seconds, the other screen also went out instantly.

"Confirmed, it should be a very fast metal object with trace amounts of radiation."

"Is it necessary to go in?" Sima Gui asked solemnly from the side.

"If you still want your boss to wake up," Mr. Mu still said in a strange tone.

"I'll lead the team! I can keep up with that guy's speed!" Song Ran gritted his teeth.

At this time, when he looked at the others from the security company, no one was willing to go down.

Everyone was just making money and didn't want to risk their lives for an outsider.

Only him.

"Three times the salary! Who's with me!" he said loudly.

The twenty or so people present were silent for a moment, and soon a few guys who were confident in their skills stood up.

"First, establish a contract," one of these people said seriously.

"Okay!"

Just as the Condor Company and others stopped in the face of danger.

In a distant highland forest.

Two mysterious people wrapped in black coats were gazing at Song Ran and the others from afar.

They were several kilometers apart, but they seemed to be able to clearly see everything at Song Ran's location without any tools.

"Our arrangement has been touched again. It's the eleventh automatic defense device hidden in the tomb."

One of them said in a deep voice.

"It's that person again from last time. He brought a lot of people over, maybe he discovered something."

"The stronghold cannot be lost, especially at this critical moment," the other person replied.

"Then, like last time, eliminate these people?" the first person asked.

"There are too many people. Even if we eliminate them, our location will be exposed. Then there will be one less channel to transfer through. Not appropriate," the other person denied.

"Then what should we do? The boss is still entangled with the people from the Union in the provincial capital. The progress in other provinces is faster than ours. We can't be slower here," the first person seemed a little impatient.

"Let's temporarily withdraw the automatic device. Let them investigate, and then put it back later," the other person suggested.

The first person fell silent.

As the hidden hands of Utopia in Fuzong Province, they had been hiding here for many years.

But from a few days ago, someone inexplicably started exploring and courting death at their hidden stronghold.

After killing many people, the other party was still persistent, changed a group of people, and continued to investigate.

"Forget it, withdraw. We can't delay the important matters from above," the first person sighed.

"What about the Wolf Cave dead end? We haven't thoroughly explored this place yet. Are we just suspending and giving up the progress?" the other person was a little unwilling.

"We can only give up. The experimental progress of each branch is different. We are wasting resources and manpower here, which has already made the other test sites dissatisfied," the first person explained.

"No need to give up." Before he could finish speaking, a tall woman in black, wearing a black wolf mask, silently swept out from the dense forest behind the two people, landed lightly on the grassy slope, and stopped her speed with the tip of her toe on the ground.

From rapid to extremely silent, it only took a second.

"The above action is about to have results. I've already received news that all test sites are completely abandoned. A major upheaval may occur in the Yi Kingdom. We must evacuate out of the country," the woman said quickly.

"Boss!"

"Big Sister!"

The two people turned their heads when they heard the voice and saw the woman, and immediately bowed their heads in salute.
