Chapter 101 Strange Mountain
Seeing them coming, Wu Liu let the technician tinker with him and said lazily:
"You guys finished that task so quickly!? Do you want a massage? I'll treat you."
"Brother Liu, we've been out for two days. Have you made any progress during these two days?" Bai Mo didn't want to talk more about the topic of massage as there were children around, so he asked about the mission instead.
"It's not that fast. I used your compass on those inquisitors, but found nothing." Wu Liu shook his head. He felt that Bai Mo was a little anxious. It was not easy to investigate the members of the Black Vatican.
So he waved his hand and said, "It's break time, let's not talk about this."
There are many people in the Wuyishan Trial Council, and he doesn't even have a rough target now. He can only hope that Bai Mo's just completed bandit suppression operation can make a spy in Wuyishan move.
After Wu Liu finished the massage, the three of them found a quiet and elegant teahouse, and Bai Mo began to talk about their hunting experiences over the past two days.
"...The man in blue got injured and ran away. I think Brother Liu is strong in the shadow system. You can pay attention to the people who suddenly got injured during the Wuyishan Trial Conference."
Wu Liu took a sip of the black tea in the cup and pondered for a moment. His delicate face revealed a thoughtful expression. Then he asked, "Do you suspect that the blue-clothed man who ran away is from the Wuyishan Tribunal?"
"I don't know either. Brother Liu, you don't have any clues right now." Bai Mo spread his hands and explained, "In this case, why don't we assume that the man in blue is the traitor of the Inquisition. This way, at least you have a direction. Even if it's wrong, we can just change the target when the time comes."
"That's fine, but you need to help me cover up. The territory of the Inquisition is not a place that any dark-type expert can enter."
Wu Liu nodded slightly at Bai Mo's suggestion, agreeing to this method, but made some additions.
The Jiaoguai Mountain, where the Wuyishan Trial Council is located, only occupies a part of the southeastern foothills of Wuyi Mountain controlled by humans.
There are also more vast mountainous areas with rich magical elements, which have become holy places for the cultivation of beginner or intermediate mages, but it costs some money to use them.
Most of the others have become tea plantations and tourist resorts.
That is to say, the Wuyishan Court is nearby, otherwise the Yicheng Council would never agree to turn the area not far from the demons into a tourist resort. Even so, everyone who goes there should register.
The shadow system cannot allow Wu Liu to climb the mountain without being noticed, because in order to prevent the magician from sneaking through using some special methods, there is a circle of area that is completely covered by light, that is, there is no shadow.
No matter how high your shadow cultivation is, you can't get through. So he needs Bai Mo to cover him and climb up as a tourist mage.
Youtian Peak is a well-known tourist spot, only separated from Jiaoguai Mountain by a bridge.
Bai Mo and the other two then went up to enjoy the view.
Tourists are allowed to climb Jiaoguai Mountain, so Lingling, under the pretext that she was a little girl who wanted to go to a famous place, took Bai Mo and Wu Liu to climb Jiaoguai Mountain through the suspension bridge.
Wu Liu was a master of the shadow system. When did he leave, how did he leave, where did he go, and what is he doing now?
Bai Mo didn't know all this. When he passed by a shady tree and turned around, Wu Liu had disappeared.
The building of Wuyishan Tribunal is actually quite nice, built in accordance with the terrain and made of red wood. It is said to have been converted from a Taoist temple.
At the other end of the lower part of the Horned Monster Mountain, there is also a bridge, also a suspension bridge, called Feiya.
Bai Mo was not worried about Wu Liu. If he was discovered, the worst that could happen was that he would reveal his identity. The consequence would only be embarrassment for a moment. Given Wu Liu's personality, he probably wouldn't care.
With Lingling, Bai Mo prepared to step onto the Feiya Bridge and look up at the mountain on the other side of the bridge.
Just then, a voice called him.
"Wait, are you guys going over there?"
Bai Mo stopped and, like Lingling, turned his head to look at a young woman coming down the mountain path from the other side. She seemed to be a judge.
"We do want to go over and take a look. What's going on? Is that a forbidden area?" Bai Mo nodded, confirming her doubts, and then asked, "Are you a judge?"
"Yes, I am a trainee judge here. My name is Su Qingqing." Su Qingqing introduced herself, then looked at the mountain opposite and said softly:
"It's not a forbidden area, but something happened there before, so it's been abandoned. Basically no one goes there."
"Something happened? What happened?" Lingling asked curiously. The hill opposite was not very high and was located next to the Trial Council, so how could something happen?
Moreover, since the suspension bridge has been passed, it means that there is a plan to develop the mountain. But now it is abandoned, so I think the incident is not a small matter.
That's why Lingling suddenly asked out of curiosity and looked up at Bai Mo.
She felt that Bai Mo brought her here because of this.
Hearing Lingling's question, Su Qingqing shook her head in confusion and explained, "I don't know about this either. The judges in the trial all said so. I didn't ask them in detail."
After she finished speaking, she saw that Bai Mo and the other two still looked like they wanted to go explore the secrets, so she hesitated for a moment, gritted her teeth, and finally said, "If you want to go, I can go with you."
"Then come on."
Glancing at her, Bai Mo replied calmly, then took Lingling onto the suspension bridge.
Under the bridge was a turbulent canyon river, and no one knew if there were any water monsters in it. Su Qingqing saw that Bai Mo walked so decisively, and even the little girl did not show any fear, so she hurried to follow.
At the same time, she looked at Bai Mo carefully. She didn't sense any strong magical aura from Bai Mo, so why did this person seem to be afraid of nothing?
It's said that almost no one goes to that mountain, maybe it's dangerous, but these two people are not afraid! ?
The suspension bridge was not long, and the three of them quickly arrived at the opposite mountain. The mountain was not big, and was long and narrow, with dangerous cliffs on both sides and a flat top. There were some plants, mostly emerald green bamboos.
This place really looked like it had been abandoned for a long time, with weeds growing everywhere, just like the grass in the Demon Forest in the northwest of Wuyi Mountains, which was knee-high.
Su Qingqing looked a little timid, and she shrank in front to lead the way. She was a plant-based person, and wherever she walked, all the grass automatically parted.
Seeing her frightened look, I wonder how she mustered up the courage to act like she wanted to protect them and chose to come with them. Bai Mo guessed it might be because of her good looks.
After feeling proud of himself for a while, Bai Mo suddenly felt his sleeve being pulled and he looked down at Lingling.
She was staring at one place, and Bai Mo looked where her gaze was pointing.
I saw an unusually thick green bamboo shoot, as thick as a bucket, growing there. But it was not quite right to call it a bamboo shoot, because the bamboo shoot was about the same height as Lingling, and it was already a shorter bamboo.
If you are not careful, you really can't find this strange bamboo shoot under the cover of weeds.
