Chapter 94
There seems to be something wrong with Zheng Qiuji's words recently.
He struggled to climb out of the long jump sand pit, covered in sand, and rushed to the stands with his friends from the Special Ability Club to watch the teachers obstacle race, but he did not see Cao Sheng's heroic figure.
In fact, Cao Sheng was quite worldly-wise in his running. This man, who could easily generate the highest form of space-type en factor, Tunguska, with a single attack, was now weakly lying on the ground where he was skipping rope, entangled with the two ropes.
Zhang Yiwei fell on the other side, and there was even eye contact between the two. After looking at each other, they quickly looked away to see the vice-principal who had been let go to the front by another male teacher and became the first position.
"oops!"
Seeing this, the other two young male teachers also cried out, pretended to be tripped by the rope, and then began to stumble forward.
The whole scene was hilarious. The high school students in the stands tried hard to hold back their laughter and clapped their hands as they continued to cheer for their homeroom teacher.
Luo Dong opened his cell phone and camera and frantically took pictures of this teacher obstacle race, which was Boss Cao's dark history. As Class 15 shouted in unison, "Come on, Boss Cao! Even the tortoise may live long, but it still has its end. Boss Cao is invincible!", he raised his voice and complained to his classmates.
"I guess Boss Cao has regretted it now and went back to submit a petition to the CPA research meeting overnight."
Chu Zhongyuan touched his chin and started his strange and funny description again, but Gu Qingming just fell for it and covered his mouth with his hands while laughing.
The teachers' obstacle race was held during the last class in the afternoon. When the school leader ran to the end of the track, the sunset glow had already risen in the sky.
Cao Sheng shook his head and took a bottle of energy drink for athletes from the class property. After thinking about it, he put it back and only took a bottle of purified water to quench his thirst.
As soon as he unscrewed the bottle cap, he saw four of his students rushing over with their heads tilted. Without giving him time to prepare, several people surrounded him. Luo Dong picked up the camera and shouted, "Isn't Boss Cao's running handsome?!"
"handsome!"
Chu Zhongyuan and Zheng Qiuji shouted the loudest, and even Gu Qingming was aroused by the lively atmosphere.
“Crack—”
The sound of a shutter click was heard, and another memorable photo was forever captured in Luo Dong's camera.
The New Year’s Eve party at the end of the semester has never been a place of joy for senior high school students. This sports meeting can be regarded as the last carnival entertainment for the senior high school students who have half stepped into the battlefield.
The music of the closing ceremony of the sports meet sounded, white doves and balloons were released, and the roar of drones passed over everyone's head. On the day when the ceremony ended, there was no evening self-study at Lantai No. 1 Middle School.
However, the four people from the Supernatural Society and Cao Sheng could not rest yet. The sports meet ended on Friday, and CPA had its own arrangements on Saturday and Sunday. They had to work non-stop and rest quickly. The next day, they had to go to a special place in CPA to conduct some inspections about the underworld.
Because the place they were going to was a bit special, Cao Sheng prepared clothes for them, simple white shirts and black ties, neat and tidy, like the professional uniforms of some department.
He drove the car equipped with mysterious technology provided by the association, picked up four high school students, and drove towards his destination.
Along the way, Cao Sheng spun like a top, answered several phone calls, walked and stopped, and finally arrived at the scene before the ceremony started in the afternoon.
Although they had prepared themselves mentally, the high school students were still shocked when they actually saw it with their own eyes.
It was an ancient building standing on a cliff, supported only by thin wood.
Its shape is somewhat similar to the famous Hanging Temple, but it does not have as many rooms as the Hanging Temple, and only has a simple small hall.
An old man in old folk costume walked down the stone steps on the side of the cliff, holding a simple snake staff, followed by a girl who was familiar to everyone.
It was Ayi wearing a black and white ethnic costume.
"Ayi?"
Gu Qingming was a little surprised.
"I'm here to help Grandpa Zhaifang prepare the entrance."
Ayi nodded to a few acquaintances. Zhai Fang stood aside in silence. He supported himself with a snake stick and led a group of people up the stone stairs with nimble movements. It was hard to tell that he was already an old man in his seventies.
"This is one of the cracks close to the underworld, and it is also one of the entrances that the CPA must pass through to enter the underworld."
Ayi took a deep breath, lowered his voice, and explained to the four classmates.
“At the same time… it is also the exclusive cemetery where countless CPA specialists rest in peace.”
Ayi sighed. The location of the Hanging Temple was connected to the platform on the top of the cliff. From a certain angle of the hanging ladder, one could clearly see the white stone tablet on the cliff where the heroic souls were buried.
In order to make it easier for the ghost catcher to extradite the souls of those with special powers, the cemetery of the three guardians was built very close to the cracks in the underworld.
This was a knowledge point that had already been taught in the online class, so Gu Qingming and the others were not very surprised. Before coming here, they already knew the special features of this place.
The four high school students coughed twice and deliberately asked about matters related to the seal of the underworld, but no matter how they started the topic, they only got Ayi's blank answer.
On the way up, Cao Sheng and the old man from the village walked in front, but they both did not speak.
It was not until he arrived at the ancient hanging temple and saw the ancient mirror standing in front of the temple with carved outlines but no reflection of anyone that Cao Sheng spoke again.
"Let's go," he turned around with a serious expression.
"Let's go to the underworld today."
Ayi sighed, and first spread out the lavender poison thread, then tied up the light-colored scorpion shadow with silk thread.
Among the five Gu, she is most afraid of scorpions because she was stung by a scorpion once when she was young. But now she can't care about anything and can only try her best to ensure the safety of her companions who are guarding the mysterious world of Lantai City together.
"The scorpion poison can resist Yin energy. If you carry it with you, you will be protected from the influence of the underworld."
"Thank you very much."
Gu Qingming was extremely serious. After he finished speaking, he followed his companions who were walking in front and waiting quietly, and entered the mirror that was like water waves.
After Cao Sheng's figure disappeared in the mirror, the old man from the village shook his head.
"This kid Cao Sheng knew that his students were worried, so he brought them here on purpose."
"Grandpa Zhaifang?"
Ayi was a little confused by the words of Grandpa Zhaifang, the senior gravekeeper. She originally thought that this was just an ordinary trip to the underworld by the guide Cao Sheng, who took Gu Qingming and others to see the world.
"Your classmates probably heard the news in Luosha City, so they tried to test Cao Sheng openly or covertly. I told him a long time ago that he couldn't keep it a secret for long... Stubborn, huh, they are all the same stubborn."
Zhai Fang waved his sleeves, looked at Ayi's confused expression, sighed, and said something.
"Little Ayi, don't learn from these guys' behavior of making people worry."
After entering the rippling mirror, Gu Qingming and the others only felt something soft brushing against their cheeks. The next second, it seemed as if time was quickly thrown behind their heads.
There were still dark clouds and twisted eye-shaped whirlpools all over the sky.
The weather in the underworld was as gloomy as usual. The road was not visible and the air around was filled with a creepy chill. Everyone's en factor emerged spontaneously to help their master block the cold deathly aura of the underworld.
Cao Sheng lit up the soul lamp in his hand that was specially made by CPA for patrolling the underworld. This was another invention of Lan Lin, an improvement on the most basic soul lamp. It could dispel the influence of death energy on living people with special abilities to the greatest extent, so as to adapt to the work of CPA, which had become much more intense because of Chief Ceobe's words that the final battlefield was in the underworld.
"The traces of Ceob are deep in the underworld. Your abilities are not strong enough yet, so it's best not to go too deep. Your mission this time is just to repair the Yellow Spring Road."
Chu Zhongyuan nodded frantically upon hearing this.
"I have already sent you all the precautions last night. Just follow the instructions in the group step by step. After all, the area of Huangquan Road damaged by the vengeful spirit attack this time is not that large."
Cao Sheng finally regained his usual relaxed expression. Seeing that the high school students did not doubt him and said that they would definitely do it well, he let out a breath, as if he had unloaded a burden. He said, "I'll go check for Ceob's traces," and walked away.
After being repaired with mysterious technology, Huangquan Road has been transformed from a messy dirt road into a clean and beautiful bluestone brick road. The ghost officials who escort the resentful ghosts all pass here. It is inevitable that some disobedient resentful souls will sometimes fight with the ghost officials, causing damage to Huangquan Road.
Fortunately, the damage to the section that Cao Sheng allocated to them was not serious. Using the tools in Cao Sheng's car, Chu Zhongyuan used putty to scrape the gap little by little, but he couldn't help it and threw away the scraper.
"Boss Cao definitely did it on purpose. He knew we wanted to know about his physical condition, so he brought us here to dispel our anxiety, but he didn't let us go with him to check for the so-called traces of Ceob..."
"I'm afraid there is no trace of Ceope at all, or that trace is not his original intention. His purpose of coming here is to seal and reinforce the Nine Abysses Gate of the underworld."
Gu Qingming frowned. His emotions were generally calm and he rarely showed an expression resembling anger.
In Snowy Holy Tomb XI, the more attentive Gu Qingming and Chu Zhongyuan noticed that their mentor had been missing for a while after Cao Sheng used his supernatural powers to smash the phantom of the boss Ceob.
Cao Sheng made the excuse that he was very busy, but Gu Qingming asked Lu Ze after he returned, and the latter hesitated for a moment before confirming Cao Sheng's statement.
This shows that their mentor must be lying.
I'm afraid it's not because he's busy, but because he over-used his supernatural powers to maintain the seal, which backfired.
Although Ceobe was not a very good person, her pride made her disdain to lie. Their guide might have really ruined his body in some way that they could not see.
Moreover, it is definitely related to the secret that the seal of the Nine Abyss Gate has continued to this day.
The wind in the underworld was very cold, but several high school students felt that their hearts were even colder.
Cao Sheng always appeared in front of them with ease, as if he was the strongest backing in the world. Whenever they looked back, this teacher who served as their instructor and writing guardian seemed to be standing behind them, looking at them with a smile.
Be it Ceope or the seal of the underworld, no matter what impossible things they have to do, they will not let Cao Sheng overdraw his strength.
