After listening to what the two people said, Xu Jianguo did not sneer at them. After all, he himself was a reborn person, and he also had a system and space.
In addition, because of Fu Niu, he had a close connection with Taoism, so Xu Jianguo was willing to believe that there were some things in this world that could not be explained by science.
Xu Jianguo had also heard many ancient legends about the ancient Dian Kingdom, a large part of which came from the tomb-raiding novels he read in his previous life.
It is said that the existence of this mysterious ancient Dian Kingdom was not confirmed until 1956.
As for what this so-called "ghost worship" custom is like, the two people who were captured could not say. They only said that their village chief Bai Aman did not take them through the third stone door, but only asked them to stay in the secret room next to the ancient well in the village to prevent outsiders from entering the underground through the ancient well and disturbing the sacrificial activities.
In addition, the space servant also received a very important piece of news, that is, the previous sacrificial activities would only last for three days at most, but this time the sacrificial activities have lasted for more than a month. The two did not know the specific reason.
Moreover, after identification by these two people, the black-robed men who were dealt with by Fu Bo and his men were also villagers from their village.
As for why they were lying in ambush underground, the two could not explain it clearly. They only said that this should be the arrangement of the village chief Bai Aman.
…
Xu Jianguo asked Fu Bo and the others who returned to the space to first hang up glucose bottles for everyone. He himself took an anesthetic pistol and entered the underground space through the hole.
Because he had the help of the All-Seeing Eye and Xu Jianguo mastered the unique skills of Taiyi Youlong Zhendian, he did not make any sound when he landed.
“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh…”
As five imperceptible sounds of breaking through the air were heard, the five people who were in the same room with the old Taoist Xuanjue fell into a deep sleep. Xu Jianguo waved his hand and directly took them back into the space.
It was also at this time that the old Taoist priest who was sitting cross-legged in meditation slowly opened his eyes. When he saw the man in black standing in front of him, he was stunned for a moment, as if he was trying to determine whether he was also hallucinating.
But when he noticed that the other people around him had disappeared, he saw the familiar black combat uniform and immediately cursed in an extremely hoarse voice: "Smelly boy, why did you come just now?!"
Xu Jianguo listened to the old Taoist priest's voice and knew that the old guy must have suffered a lot recently. He quickly took off his mask and hood and grinned.
He walked over to the old Taoist priest and sat cross-legged. He then took out a full pot of well water from the space, and then took out a large bowl of steaming braised beef noodles. He placed it in front of the old man and said with a smile: "Master Taoist, you are right. I just received the news yesterday, and I was able to find this place today. Do you know how much effort I put in? Just be content!"
The old Taoist priest gave Xu Jianguo a displeased look, picked up the kettle, and gulped down the water. In a short while, he had drunk half of the kettle.
After quenching his thirst, the old Taoist priest put the kettle on the ground, picked up the bowl of beef noodles and began to eat it with a loud slurp.
In less than five minutes, the old Taoist priest had eaten up the whole bowl of beef noodles, leaving no soup at all.
After the old Taoist priest had eaten and drunk his fill, Xu Jianguo asked, "Are you full?"
"It's okay. I've been hungry for too long. It's not good to eat too much! How did you find me?" The old Taoist priest had time to think now. He remembered that he did not tell Yuye where he was going. It was only out of blind trust in Xu Jianguo that he asked Yuye to leave him a message. He didn't expect that this kid really found him. It was really magical.
"In order to find you, Mr. Fu and his team went to the archives of Bureau 749 and found the files of your mission there. Otherwise, I don't know when they would have found you. Maybe by the time I see you, you'll have already ascended to heaven!"
"Tsk, do you think all my years of hard work were in vain? I'm not bragging, even if you didn't come today, I could still hold on for at least another half month!"
Upon hearing this, Xu Jianguo curled his lips and said, "How about you just hold on a little longer? I'll come back in half a month!"
"Get lost!" the old Taoist cursed with a smile.
After chatting about family matters for a while, the two of them started talking about this mission.
When the old Taoist heard what Xu Jianguo had discovered, he finally understood why he had reacted that way when he heard that he had joined Bureau 749.
The little Taoist boy disguised as a space servant that Xu Jianguo had arranged to be by his side before was not brought along this time because of the old Taoist's own carelessness and some broken rules in Bureau 749.
Otherwise, there wouldn't be any of this shit.
The old Taoist priest listened to Xu Jianguo talking and scolding him, and did not try to argue. Instead, he just listened with a smile on his face.
After Xu Jianguo finished scolding the old Taoist priest, the two of them turned their topic back to this mission.
Xu Jianguo also expressed his judgment. After listening to it, the old Taoist priest did not speak for a long time.
After a moment, he slowly said, "How about you accompany me to take a look inside the third door?"
"No, no, I'm not from 749. If it were you, you should apply to leave as soon as possible. I told you it wasn't a good place, but you didn't believe me!"
"Okay, I'll listen to you. I'll apply when I get back, but I still want to get to the bottom of this matter! It's not that I'm worried about those villagers, but I've suffered a great loss this time. If I don't understand what happened, I'll always feel depressed!"
Xu Jianguo rolled his eyes at the old Taoist priest and said, "You're supposed to be an accomplished Taoist, but you're being too stubborn, aren't you? To be honest, the village is surrounded by troops. I suspect that Bureau 749 will have sent people again. They'll be looking for you by tomorrow morning at the latest, so there's no point in you going in now. If you really want to go in, I'll call your little Taoist boy over, and we'll go in with you tomorrow after you reunite with the main force. Otherwise, if I go in with you, I'll probably be exposed myself, and I won't be able to explain myself."
After listening to Xu Jianguo's analysis, the old Taoist priest felt that what he said made sense, so he nodded in agreement.
Then the two of them discussed their future plans, and then Xu Jianguo picked up the kettle and dishes on the ground and returned to the space with the old Taoist priest.
