The two men in black looked at each other, and one of them went deeper into the hot spring.

Another person bowed and said, "Please wait for a moment, Team Leader Asano and Yuanshi-kun!"

As he spoke, he carefully examined the so-called "Prince Lord". It was unbelievable that the Five Elements Alliance's famous genius was actually a tall and heroic woman?

Although she was wearing sunglasses, it was not difficult to tell that she was a beauty from her facial contours, the curve of her chin, and her pale and sexy lips.

While the man in black was marveling at this, his companion who had brought the news hurried back and said, "The team leader and several deputy team leaders have been waiting for you in the museum for a long time."

As he spoke, he made a "please" gesture.

Asano Ryo immediately took Zhang Yuanqing inside, passed through the courtyard full of blooming flowers, entered the interior of the building, and walked along the Japanese retro corridor. [First update] Soon, the two stopped outside a tatami room.

From the room separated by a door, there could be heard the laughter of men and women drinking and having fun, as well as the sounds of pipa and small drum.

Are they deliberately having a good time at this time, trying to hint to me that the Ganhe Group is full of confidence and can handle it with ease? Zhang Yuanqing pondered.

"Team leader, Yuanshi-kun is here." Asano Ryo bowed at the door.

The laughter and music in the house stopped, and then the door slowly slid open, and a young woman with her hair tied up high and wearing a kimono opened the door for the two.

The light in the room poured into the slightly dim corridor, and Zhang Yuanqing could see the scene inside clearly.

The whole room was covered with tatami. Six low chairs were arranged in an orderly manner. Various Japanese delicacies were placed on the chairs. Men in kimonos sat cross-legged or slumped in front of the chairs in a lazy posture. Beside them were young and beautiful women in kimonos, who sat obediently cross-legged with pots in their hands.

The chief, Kobe Ichiro, was about fifty years old, with a square face, thick eyebrows, a high nose and sharp eyes. He had the appearance of a hero and was extremely majestic.

This person's life palace is bright and shining, and his fate is extraordinary, and he is a hero. The relationship palace is chaotic and obscure, which means that he has serious defects in marriage, social and interpersonal relationships, but his friendship palace is bright, which means that he has many confidants and is a leader who can convince his subordinates. Then the problem lies in marriage.

The dark palace of the family indicates that the children are incompetent or there is no successor. Combined with the situation of the palace of destiny, this Kobe Ichiro should be the type who does not care about women and family, and is only focused on his career...

With sunglasses covering his face, Zhang Yuanqing openly used astrology. Through face reading, he gained a deeper understanding of Kanbe Ichiro, the leader of the Chizuru Group.

Ichiro Kobe was also looking at Yuanshi Tianzun who had come from afar. Seeing that it was a corpse, he nodded with satisfaction and said, "Yuanshi Jun, you are a warrior with noble character. Please take a seat!"

In fact, Princess Yin Yao is much more awesome than me... Zhang Yuanqing took a seat calmly and said, "Nice to meet you, Team Leader Kobe!"

The voice is hoarse and ugly, and the vocal cords seem to have been severely traumatized or damaged.

Asano Ryo knelt beside him and poured wine very consciously. She had experienced many such occasions. Every time her father hosted a banquet at home to entertain Ryuusaki Ichi, she would sit next to her teacher and pour wine.

When the top executives of the Chizuru Group had dinner together, she was also responsible for pouring wine.

Of course, things will be different in the future. When she becomes the deputy team leader, she will also have a beautiful sister in kimono to pour wine for her.

Zhang Yuanqing knelt upright in front of the eucalyptus, listening to the team leader Ichiro Kobe introducing the four deputy team leaders, and Asano Ryo was responsible for translation.

"Ryuzaki Ichi, the swordsman, Ryo-chan's teacher, and leader of the Chizuru Group's patrol department."

Ryuzaki Ichi was a stern and serious middle-aged man, with the corners of his mouth drooping heavily, and there was no smile on his face. He just nodded slightly as a greeting.

"Watanabe Kichita, the only mountain god of the Chizuru Group, is the head of Watanabe Real Estate Company under the Chizuru Group. Watanabe Kichita is short, about 1.65 meters tall, but he is the most muscular among the people present, with broad shoulders and a thick waist. In addition, he has the typical temperament of a local monster - dull,

"Onodera Yosuke, a sorcerer, leads the think tank of the Inazuru Group."

A gentleman wearing a kimono and glasses, drunk, was hugging the woman beside him and touching her all over, looking like a gentleman scum.

“Gujun Huojin, the Fire Demon, the head of the Executive Department.

A rugged middle-aged man with a beard, a long scar on his left cheek, and a mouth full of yellow teeth, he looked like a gangster boss no matter how you looked at him.

Gujun Huojin laughed and said, "Yuanshi Tianzun, you don't have any Yin corpses anymore? You actually sent a woman here. You are not like a man."

Watanabe Yoshita and Onodera Yosuke burst into laughter.

Kobe Ichiro looked at Yuanshi Tianzun calmly and did not stop the cadres' disrespectful behavior.

Zhang Yuanqing looked at Asano Ryo beside him: "What did he say?"

Asano Ryo translated it into Chinese with an embarrassed expression, and added in a low voice:

"That's the character of Deputy Team Leader Gu Jun. He's not mocking you... Well, he is mocking you, but he has no ill intentions. Uh, he does have malicious intentions, but, but...

But he is a fire master, and fire masters deserve to be beaten. I understand, but it is a bit like suppressing me. Zhang Yuanqing muttered in his heart, raised his hand, and signaled Asano Ryo that there was no need to explain.

An old-fashioned way of negotiating... Zhang Yuanqing silently took out his trumpet and shouted angrily: "Baga Yalu!"

It scared everyone present.

Zhang Yuanqing said loudly:

"We are about to carry out a mission that concerns the future of the Chizuru Group, but you are here drinking and having fun. Look at how unruly you are now. As a senior executive of the Chizuru Group, don't you feel ashamed?

"I took this action very seriously. For this reason, I didn't drink a single sip of alcohol for three whole days. I only drank Coke every day.

"As a warrior of high moral character, I am extremely disgusted by your behavior."

After cursing, he turned to Asano Ryo and said, "Translate it for them."

Asano Ryo was a little frightened at first, fearing that Genshi-kun would clash with the cadres of the Chizuru Group, but as he listened, he felt that Genshi-kun was indeed a samurai with noble character, so he translated loudly into the language of the island country.

The cadres of the Qianzuru Group were stunned and opened their mouths to speak, but could not utter any rebuttal.

These words are so righteous and stand on the moral high ground that they are difficult to refute, just like the male protagonist in a hot-blooded comic book.

The spacious room suddenly fell silent.

Asano Ryo whispered, "Yuanshi-kun, you are amazing."

Is that amazing? I learned it from watching anime… Zhang Yuanqing complained silently.

"Ahem!" Kobe Ichiro cleared his throat and waved his hand:

"You guys get out first!"

The musicians playing their instruments in the corner, as well as the girls accompanying them at the table, all stood up, bowed and left.

The cadres also put away their unruly demeanor and knelt down properly.

After everyone left, Kobe Ichiro said in a deep voice:

“Yuanshi-kun, can you show us the key?

"Of course!" Zhang Yuanqing lifted the foot bag at his feet to the table, unzipped it, and took out a jade plate as big as a bowl.

The eyes of the cadres of the Qianzuru Group were like screws stuck on a magnet, unable to be moved.

Kobe Ichiro breathed a sigh of relief, nodded with satisfaction, and asked:

"Genshi-kun, do you know the legend of Takamagahara?"

Several deputy team leaders knelt with their backs straight, looking at the corpse wearing sunglasses. No one spoke, and their eyes were sharp and calm.

Here he comes, he is testing me to see if I know the story behind why the First Emperor sent Xu Fu to sea... After listening to Asano Ryo's translation, Zhang Yuanqing said calmly:

"As a graduate of Beijing University, I have a pretty good grasp of history and classical Chinese. I know the totems of the Qin Dynasty. The first emperor sent Xu Fu to the island country because there were treasures there. Xu Fu was unwilling to return to the Central Plains and stayed in the island country to become Amaterasu for the same reason."

Kobe Ichiro and the deputy team leaders looked at each other, put away their luck, and said with emotion:

"The history books say that the First Emperor sent Xu Fu to the fairy island to seek the elixir of immortality. This is probably wrong, because both Xu Fu and the First Emperor have become the dust of history."

After Asano Ryo translated, Zhang Yuanqing said in a hoarse voice: "Team Leader Kobe, what the First Emperor sent Xu Fu to find may be the elixir of immortality."

"If the elixir of immortality is real, how could Xu Fu still die? You, a top student from Keijo University, have you really studied hard?" As soon as Asano Ryo finished translating, Gujun Huojin laughed at him loudly.

The Taoist priest Onodera Yosuke pushed up his glasses and said

"Gu Junjun, don't rush to draw conclusions. Listen to Yuanshi Jun's opinions."

Seeing everyone looking at him, Zhang Yuanqing said in a hoarse and difficult voice:

"You are all saints, and you should have known about the existence of ancient practitioners through the dungeons. Since ancient times, there have been many demigods, but has anyone seen a demigod alive in this world?

"Why were the ancient monks unable to achieve immortality and died one by one?"

Onodera Yosuke said slowly:

"Demigods have a limited lifespan. They can live forever but not immortality. In addition, the spiritual power of ancient times was depleted and gradually became insufficient to cover expenditures. Demigods were unable to maintain their status and thus died one after another.

Zhang Yuanqing asked in return: "What if the First Emperor sent Xu Fu to look for a treasure that could help him survive the exhaustion of his spiritual power? To him, this would be the elixir of immortality."

After Asano Ryo translated, the cadres seemed to be thinking about something.

Kobe Ichiro nodded slightly and praised:

"What Yuanshi-kun said makes sense. Your rich knowledge of the spiritual realm is admirable."

Onodera Yosuke nodded repeatedly: "Good idea, I will write it in my paper."

Kobe Ichiro straightened his back and said in a deep voice:

"Since the birth of the Spirit Realm, as the levels of Spirit Realm practitioners have increased, more and more secrets have been unearthed. The practitioners of the two regions have discovered that the Spirit Realm can be traced back to the mythological era. Mythological legends, to a certain extent, reflect the ancient superpowers.

“So, a century ago, the Chizuru Group began to study their country’s mythology, combining many clues and believing that the true identity of the Supreme Goddess Amaterasu was an ancient supernatural being, and that Takamagahara really existed.

"But Takama-ga-hara is too mysterious. There is no historical record of its location. In myths and legends, it is an island floating on the sea or in the clouds. After years of research, there was no result. Gradually, there were voices of opposition in the Chizuru Group. They believed that Takama-ga-hara had long been lost in history or had become a spiritual realm. It was foolish to waste manpower and resources looking for Takama-ga-hara."

He took a sip of wine and continued:

"Because there were too many opponents and the situation was turbulent, the investigation into Takamagahara had to be suspended. It was not until 1955, when the key to Takamagahara was unearthed, that we were able to truly confirm that Takamagahara really existed and had not returned to the spiritual realm.

“But at that time, the entire Chizuru Group had been controlled by the Heavenly Punishment and had become a puppet. The top management at the time chose to forbear and did not restart the plan to search for Takamagahara.

"After decades of hard work, the Chizuru Group gradually regained control. The control of the Heavenly Punishment over the Chizuru Group weakened, and the previous leader secretly launched a plan to find Takamagahara.

"God helps those who work hard. After countless speculations and verifications, we finally found Takamagahara."

Having said that, he waved his hand.

The wooden door behind me slid open automatically, revealing a large courtyard outside with a hot spring pool. Even in midsummer, you could still see the steam rising.

Zhang Yuanqing glanced across the yard and into the distance, where he could see the majestic Mount Fuji.

Kobe Ichiro did not look back, staring at Yuanshi Tianzun, and said slowly:

“The island floating above the sea of ​​clouds is Mount Fuji. The snow on the top of the mountain looks like clouds in the sky.

Sure enough, it was there... Zhang Yuanqing asked:

"Haven't you ever thought that Takamagahara would be in Mount Fuji?"

"We have been surveying Mount Fuji since our last predecessor, but it is too big and has extraordinary significance for our country. We must be cautious in our survey and beware of the spies of the heavenly punishment, so the progress is very slow." Ichiro Kobe said.

A week ago, Watanabe-kun excavated Mount Fuji and finally found the legendary Takamagahara. "

The mountain god Watanabe Kichita continued:

"I found a huge stone sculpture in the belly of the mountain. It is about 15 meters high and looks like a bird. It has three claws and one eye. The eye is sunken and has no pupil. The size and pattern are exactly the same as this bird. It is the eye of that bird."

His eyes turned to the jade plate in front of Yuanshi Tianzun.

Ichiro Kobe added:

"We suspect that the stone sculpture is the entrance to Takamagahara. As long as we put the eye back in place, we can open the passage to Takamagahara."

Zhang Yuan cleared the wine and food on the table and said:

“I think the legendary Takamagahara should be more attractive than these delicious dishes.

He was reminding the leaders of the Chizuru Group that it was time to take action.

Kobe Ichiro, however, sat still, his expression becoming serious:

Are you sure the three artifacts are in Takamagahara?" Zhang Yuanqing asked.

"The three existing divine artifacts are all mortal objects. If they are really as powerful as in the myths, they must be props. Therefore, the real ones should be hidden in Takama-ga-hara." Asano Ryo explained.

Zhang Yuanqing nodded and said, "Okay!"

He was not afraid that the Chizuru Group would go back on their word, because if they dared to break their promise, he would immediately report it to the headquarters.

From the Qianhe Group's point of view, as long as they can control the treasure, give up appropriate interests and appease Yuanshi Tianzun, it is completely worthwhile. They are the ones who are most afraid of overturning the table.

In addition, in addition to distributing treasures, Zhang Yuanqing also has another mission on this trip, which is to study the connection between Takama-ga-hara and the hidden mission of Qinfeng Academy.

He also didn't want to overturn the table.

Immediately, Ichiro Kobe took out a brass book, which was a prop for the knight profession. The Chizuru Group bought this prop from the Tenfa Organization at a high price.

The two parties signed the contract under the witness of the brass book.

Then, Ichiro Kobe and others changed their clothes in the house, disguised themselves as mountain climbing tourists, left the hot spring hotel together, and took a car to Mount Fuji.

It was midsummer, but the temperature at the fifth station was still not high, around 5 degrees Celsius.

Along the way, Zhang Yuanqing saw many scenic spots and buildings, as well as a constant stream of tourists, and private cars and buses coming and going.

If you have time, you can bring your aunt or Guan Ya to play.

He muttered to himself.

Of course, he was not keen on traveling, so he just thought about it for a moment and then forgot about it.

As we climbed Mount Fuji, we gradually moved away from the buildings and tourists, and there were fewer and fewer people.

After leaving the crowd, they no longer restricted their speed and ran wildly in the mountains. The higher they went, the sparser the plants became. After more than ten minutes, they stopped in an area near the "white head".

There are no plants here anymore. All you can see is dark brown soil and stones.

We have arrived at our destination.

As the mountain god, Watanabe Yoshita squatted down and said loudly:

"I am about to open the passage. We will probably fall two to three hundred meters. This depth is a challenge that cannot be ignored even for a saint. Everyone, please protect yourselves.

As soon as the words fell, the ground beneath their feet collapsed, revealing a bottomless pit.

After the group of seven people fell into it, the pit closed automatically, like a monster closing its mouth.

It was pitch black and they were falling rapidly. Gu Jun Huojin threw fireballs downwards, illuminating the dark pit and bringing light to everyone.

In the blink of an eye, the bottom of the passage was in sight.

Kobe Ichiro reminded:

“Be prepared.

The swordsman, Ryuuzaki Ichi, grabbed his katana, ready to use the weapon as a pickaxe to slow down his descent.

The Taoist priest Onodera Yosuke took out his jet pack in a panic.

Just as everyone was busy preparing to land, there was a sudden "boom" from the bottom of the pit, and a terrible hurricane blew up. The violent and powerful airflow offset the gravity of the fall, allowing everyone to fall safely like light leaves.

"call!"

The fire demon Gujun Huojin raised his palm, ignited a fireball and dispelled the darkness.

Everyone looked at Yuanshi Tianzun's hands. There was no doubt that this was a prop of the Wind Mage.

It can create such a strong wind, so its quality must be quite high.

While everyone was examining the Windrusher's gloves, Zhang Yuanqing's eyes penetrated the darkness and saw the scene at the bottom of the pit clearly.

This is a huge cave with hard rocks and soil layers interlaced. In the front stands a huge stone statue with huge wings spread out, three legs on its belly, and feathers carved into the shape of flames.

It has only one eye, and there is no hole in the eye socket, but a sunken round hole. The pattern inside the hole is exactly the same as the disc.

When Zhang Yuanqing saw the statue, a mythical creature flashed through his mind—the three-legged golden crow.

"Yuanshi-kun!" Ichiro Kobe stepped forward and stood shoulder to shoulder with him: "Open Takamagahara."

Zhang Yuanqing said "hmm", took out a disc from his backpack, and disappeared into a dreamy ray of starlight.

The starlight rose again from above the stone head.

Star Escape Technique? She, isn’t she a Yin corpse... Seeing this scene, the faces of several team leaders changed slightly.

Zhang Yuanqing took out the disc, jumped into the stone's eye socket, and embedded the disc into it.
