At the westernmost end of the cave in Fengmen Village, there is an artificial river.
There is a Naihe Bridge over this river. Armed guards stand at one end of the bridge, and at the other end of the bridge is a deep tunnel, from which no one can see what is inside.
This is the exit from Fengmen Village.
Once you drink the so-called Meng Po soup, you can enter the tunnel behind and wait to be sent away.
Because Fengmen Village had spread the news of the Miao Jiang Immortal Palace, the place was already packed with people when we arrived at Naihe Bridge.
After saying goodbye to Wang Qing, I joined the back of the crowd.
When I came here before, I saw the situation at the Bridge of Helplessness. At that time, there were only four guards and a table at the bridgehead.
Today, perhaps because of the large number of people, there were more than twenty guards who came, and four tables were set up, with everyone queuing to cross the Bridge of Helplessness.
To save time, we didn't queue together, but instead split up and queued separately.
Those who want to leave Fengmen Village need to have their identities verified here and then hand over their hand cards.
When it was my turn in line, the person behind the table asked me, "Are you familiar with the procedures for leaving Fengmen Village?"
I took off my hand card and placed it on the table: "This is my first time in Fengmen Village, and I don't know the rules here."
The other person handed me a bottle of water and said, "Leave your token, drink this water, and you can cross the bridge! There are many small rooms on both sides of the tunnel behind. There are envelopes on the tables inside. Put the ghost money you have with you into the envelopes, and write down the account number you need to transfer the money to. Fengmen Village will launder the money and transfer it to the corresponding account in batches! But if the amount is large, it is recommended to use a company account to avoid triggering a warning from the financial system!"
After you've finished exchanging the money, you need to write down the city you'll be sent to after waking up on the wall! If several of you want to be sent to the same place, you can go to one room!
One more thing to remind you: once you're out, you must not mention anything that happened in Fengmen Village to anyone, otherwise it will trigger a coordinated extermination mechanism, and you will bear the consequences yourself.
I looked at the other person curiously: "What do you mean by this joint strangulation mechanism?"
"Once you leak any information related to Fengmen Village, you, your family, and friends will be put on Fengmen Village's kill list, and a bounty will be placed on your head throughout the village. At that time, everyone in Fengmen Village will hunt you down. Whoever succeeds will become a super big customer of Fengmen Village! You probably know what kind of people the villagers here are. Please consider the consequences carefully."
After speaking, the other person handed me a bottle of water: "Drink this, and then you can go to the back room to wait. Just a reminder, after the door in the back room is locked, anesthesia gas will be released, so once everyone is here, please lie down as soon as possible to avoid fainting and causing accidental injury."
After listening to the man's explanation, I drank the water in the bottle in one gulp and then went into the back corridor.
Soon, Jiang Man and the others also passed through security. After we gathered in the corridor, we chose an empty room and went inside.
The room was simply furnished, with only a table, chairs, and a large communal sleeping platform.
I put the ghost money I had on me into an envelope, filled in the account number of Hongyu Company, and then asked Jiang Man, "After we get out of here, do you have any plans for the next step?"
"I suggest we go directly to Tianjin."
Jiang Man explained, "To find the Miao Jiang Immortal Palace, we need to do a lot of preliminary work. With the capabilities of Tianxia Group, we can handle these things much more easily and save us a lot of time. Also, we've stayed in Fengmen Village for so long, my dad must be worried about our situation. Let's go back and let him know we're safe. If you want to go back to Shenyang, I'll arrange a car to take you back."
"Can."
After I finished writing the account details for Hongyu Company, I felt a little dizzy, so I lay down on the large communal bed at the back.
A moment later, the air vents on the ceiling began to blow air outwards, and a delicate fragrance filled the room.
I lay in bed staring at the ceiling, overwhelmed with mixed feelings.
This trip took us almost four months.
As expected, we finally obtained the location of the Miao Jiang Immortal Palace.
After spending so much time, I finally managed to track down Duan Jinyan again.
...
I slept very soundly, but in my hazy state, I felt a stinging sensation in my eyes.
I've gotten used to living in the underground environment of Fengmen Village during this time. The feeling of being surrounded by light makes me particularly uncomfortable.
I could vaguely smell a fragrance, and the pillow was soft.
When I opened my eyes, I found myself lying in Jiang Man's arms.
Looking around, we realized we were all lying in a van.
The back seats of this van have all been removed, and Monkey, Manjing, and Linque are all lying down next to it.
I sat up and looked out the window, and found that the car was parked on a mountain, surrounded by trees, so I couldn't pinpoint its location.
In addition, there was a travel bag in the passenger seat of the car, containing the personal belongings we handed over when we entered Fengmen Village.
I tried to turn it on, but unfortunately we had been in Fengmen Village for too long and the phone had already run out of battery.
"Jiang Man, wake up!"
I nudged Jiang Man's arm to wake her up, then pointed out the window and asked, "Look outside, can you tell where we are?"
"Ouch! Those guys from Fengmen Village made so much money off us, and this is the awful environment they gave us! My whole body aches!"
Jiang Man sat up, rubbing her body, then looked out the window and rolled her eyes speechlessly: "Brother, I'm not a satellite map. What were you thinking, asking me to locate myself in this forest?"
I saw that the car had prepared water, food, and clean clothes for us. I picked up a bottle of mineral water, opened it, and then woke up the others: "I originally thought that Fengmen Village would take us to our doorstep, but now it seems that these people have abandoned us in the suburbs. Monkey, drive, let's go down the mountain and see where we are."
While everyone was eating to replenish their energy, I got out of the car to check it out. The engine number and chassis number of our car had been erased, and there was no license plate. It was obviously an old, scrapped car.
After everyone had regained their senses, the monkey drove his dilapidated van along the rugged mountain road and winked at us: "Hey, don't you guys feel like something's off around here? I feel like something's really weird."
Jiang Man bluntly stated: "Nonsense! After living underground for half a year, it would be strange if you could adapt to suddenly seeing so many plants!"
