Chapter 58
Amidst the ethereal atmosphere and beautiful scenery of the garden, a woman rests her head on her hand, seemingly dozing off, under a grape trellis.
A gentle breeze blows, and the petals of a rose that is about to travel far away scatter. Just as one petal touches the tip of her nose, the woman touches it with her fingertip, and the pink and white petals are carried away by the wind.
Suddenly, a man in blue robes strolled over.
The woman opened her eyes and smiled gently: "You have news?"
Su Yuan took the teacup from Ling Xi and said, "Mm."
He waved his hand forward, and a water mirror appeared on the stone table, suspended in mid-air. Lingxi was puzzled and was about to speak when the water mirror displayed an image like a television screen. It was an island, and the images showed faces from various countries.
It's actually a tourist destination.
In fact, in a fleeting moment, she seemed to catch a glimpse of several familiar faces.
interesting!
Lingxi watched for a while and realized something was wrong, asking in confusion, "Is this live footage?"
"Otherwise," he seemed somewhat puzzled by her doubts.
Lingxi paused. This person didn't use the internet much, and the electronic devices she had prepared for him were only turned on occasionally. She wondered if this person even understood modern communication devices.
"It's nothing, I was just asking."
Su Yuan continued, his long, slender fingers casually pointing in the air. Ling Xi instinctively looked in the direction he pointed, but her eyes fell on his delicate, pink fingertips, which were even more beautiful than a woman's. Her pupils contracted, and she couldn't quite make out where he was pointing.
Perhaps he noticed her gaze.
“Here!” he prompted.
Perhaps the characters he learned were too small, making Lingxi a little dizzy.
She blinked before she could see where he was pointing.
That was a corner of the island, surrounded by dense forests, except for a Chinese-style house in the center.
Lingxi knew where she was.
Lily of the Valley Island.
Lingxi: "This is troublesome, I'm not in the country."
"We'll be right back, it'll be quick."
Su Yuan spoke indifferently, his face showing no joy at finding a friend.
He withdrew his gaze from the water curtain: "I want to see what he has become."
"People are fickle," Lingxi said, thinking he was a little disappointed. She offered a dry word of comfort.
Su Yuan chuckled: "It's nothing, just a bit of a sentimental thought."
Lingxi: "I understand, I understand. After all, it's the first time! Everyone will attach special importance to the first time."
Su Yuan smiled. "That makes sense."
"Have some tea, have some tea, don't think too much." Lingxi urged him and refilled his teacup.
Su Yuan obediently finished drinking the tea in his cup.
Lingxi picked a bright red peony, held it in her hand and admired it for a moment. Her two disciples took good care of it every day, and the flower was truly beautiful.
Mentioning them, she suddenly missed her apprentices: "I wonder which city they went to!"
"think?"
"Um."
Su Yuan looked at Ling Xi, his eyes full of amusement, "Go find them?"
Lingxi was somewhat tempted by these words, but she was also afraid of interfering with their work, so she thought for a moment and said, "Never mind, let's not."
That day, upon her appearance, Lingxi met the figure who was usually seen on television. She remembered that the figure had said frankly that seeing was better than talking, and immediately had the guards experience riding the clouds, performing various spells in turn, which was dazzling and wonderful.
As a result, things progressed rapidly.
Lingxi described the beginning of the spiritual energy revival, which could take anywhere from a dozen to several decades, and would gradually appear in various places.
To help the country improve and grow faster, Lingxi asked her two disciples for their opinions.
They sent the two out.
They searched for ancestral spiritual objects and sought out soldiers with cultivation potential.
Lingxi also gave them ten water chestnut fruits, which she sealed in a jade box for their research.
At the same time, state organs begin to function.
Various top-secret plans have begun to be implemented, with Lingxi as the chief advisor. When Yun Qingzi and his companion find talented individuals from among the best, they will gather at Linxi Cave, where Lingxi will guide their cultivation and train a group of pioneers.
Linxi Cave is where the dream began.
...
Li Ligang's family returned to Linxidong due to the major event of relocation caused by the construction of a sanatorium base there.
Surprisingly, Li Ligang hadn't heard any news about this beforehand.
Linxi Cave used to be a remote mountain village, but they never expected that one day their family would be involved in a demolition project.
He took a deep breath, hoping that the demolition compensation would allow his family to move to a bigger house.
The old man was also quite old.
It's safer to keep it close at hand.
With his mind preoccupied, Li Ligang didn't waste a moment and went to the village committee.
The village committee was bustling with activity.
Old Liu stayed to one side with Lin Fengjuan and the other person. The immortal master secretly told them that their two families and Long Xiaozi's family did not need to move, but they still had to put on a show.
"Old Lin, Old Liu, have you signed?"
Old Liu: "Why would we wait for you? We signed it a long time ago."
"Yeah, they've all signed... We probably won't see each other much anymore."
At this point, none of them spoke.
They have lived in Linxi Cave for decades.
As he grew old, he seized this opportunity and felt reluctant to leave behind every blade of grass and tree in the village, and his old friends with whom he had chatted. But if he moved away, Old Liu thought that he wouldn't be able to enjoy Master Yun's cooking, and it would be even more boring outside.
I might as well stay here.
From signing the papers to moving, it was only a little over a week, and everyone left in small groups.
As Li Ligang walked out of the fields, he saw piles of packed belongings at the door of every house he passed. Staff members and volunteers in uniforms were busy helping him carry furniture and luggage.
After he finished carrying the last bag, he ignored the sweat on his forehead and wandered aimlessly around the old house.
I'm tracing my steps from childhood to adulthood.
After a long while, he silently got into the car, took one last deep look at his old, dilapidated iron gate, suppressed the stinging in his eyes, stepped on the gas, and left Linxi Cave forever.
Goodbye to his childhood!
After the last family signs the papers and moves out.
At all the entrances to the mountains, huge civilian tents and mobile prefabricated houses have been completed, with red warning lights lit up on the side.
Soldiers in engineering uniforms set up roadblocks on various continental paths and stationed personnel to guard them.
Various transport vehicles drove in with a "buzzing" sound. Lin Fengjuan and Old Liu waited until everyone left before daring to go out. Hearing the commotion, they went to watch the excitement for a while.
These vehicles are consumables needed for building training bases, research institutes, and other facilities.
Lin Fengjuan looked up: "Looks like I'm going to be of great use!"
"Old Liu, we've probably encountered something incredibly good!"
Old Liu, who was usually all smiles, was unusually silent. He looked at the tall machine and said, "My wife isn't lucky enough to live to see this day."
Lin Fengjuan also fell silent.
After a while, he acted as if nothing had happened again, saying, "I need to read more so I can talk to her in person later."
"Um……"
Looking at Old Liu, who was laughing to himself, Lin Fengjuan, who had finally calmed down, really wanted to curse him.
"hey-hey……"
...
"A mission?" Li Fang's lifeless face suddenly lit up with light. She asked eagerly, "What mission? What does the mission require me to do? I'm willing to do it."
Beneath the black robe, she couldn't see the man's face clearly, only that he was a tall man, someone who could save her daughter.
"grown ups!"
She knelt on the ground, her hands gripping his clothes tightly: "Mission!"
"Tsk~"
The man in black coldly said, "Let go."
Liu Yunqing, with his stubble, knelt beside his wife. Having been in business for many years, he immediately sensed the man's displeasure. He quickly pulled the woman's thin, bony hand over and said with a forced smile, "Sir, my wife is just too excited."
"Come with me," the man in black said coldly without even blinking.
He didn't care whether the couple behind him followed or not, and walked deeper into the house on his own.
"Quick!" Liu Yunqing reached out to pull his wife up, but the two of them hadn't eaten or rested properly in a while and were very weak. He managed to pull Li Fang up, but he stumbled and almost fell down again.
The official was about to disappear from sight.
The two of them then helped each other along with difficulty.
Xiao Li, who had been following the couple outside the house, was monitoring Li Fang and Liu Yunqing's movements. He noticed that the two of them hadn't come out for quite some time, and it was very quiet inside. At first, Xiao Li could still hear Li Fang's voice, but then there was no more sound.
Xiao Li sensed something was wrong and quietly slipped inside.
The house was only two stories high, completely empty inside and out, with no furniture at all; you could see what was inside at a glance.
Xiao Li searched the house thoroughly, inside and out, but apart from the traces in the main hall, he found no trace of the couple.
He even observed that the room didn't have any hidden doors at all.
There were no signs of anyone climbing over the wall behind it.
All indications suggest that they have vanished into thin air.
With a serious expression, Xiao Li immediately picked up his phone and called Captain Yang.
After Xiao Li left, in the empty house, the man in black peeled off the talisman, and the three figures quietly reappeared.
The man in black, Yuan Lianyu, sneered: "Idiot, you don't even know you're being tracked."
Liu Yunqing and Li Fang looked at each other with complicated expressions, hunched over and leaning against the wall, saying nothing.
Yuan Lianyu glanced at the couple behind him with disdain, somewhat puzzled as to why these two people, who were almost unable to walk, wanted to join in and even arrange for them to be at the back.
"Walk."
"Yes, yes."
Li Fang nodded repeatedly to Liu Yunqing.
At the same time, Yang Lanling received a phone call. After understanding the meaning, he called again to find out about Yuan Chen's movements.
"Captain Yang, there's still no news about Yuan Chen's location."
"Okay, I understand, thank you."
Suddenly, a police officer outside the door shouted, "Captain Yang, everyone in the conference room is here."
Yang Lanling hung up the phone and replied, "I'm coming."
After saying that, he put his phone away, took something from his desk drawer, and went to the meeting room.
"Team Leader Yang!"
"Team Leader Yang!"
Despite his young age, Yang Lanling's abilities are not to be underestimated. His case-solving skills are comparable to those of a seasoned criminal police officer, and he is growing at an exceptionally fast pace.
His teammates all respected him greatly.
"Stand at attention, everyone. Be serious. We're about to hear the orders from above."
Yang Lanling stood at the front of the line, looking at his colleagues who stood neatly and solemnly. After speaking succinctly, his expression softened slightly:
"We must keep this incident confidential. If you see anything strange, don't be surprised. Report it immediately and pay attention to your own safety and the safety of the people."
"yes."
"Okay, I have a secret weapon to share with everyone. You can look forward to it."
Everyone's eyes lit up at once.
A secret weapon!
