Because Xiao Bianzi's makeup was so eye-catching, Jiang Man noticed him as well when I spotted him, and said to me in surprise, "Look at that person in front, isn't that the man who won with us back then?"
"Yes, Wei Shengnan has been looking for this guy, but she has never seen him in person. She never expected him to appear here."
I thought about it for a moment and felt that this matter was particularly bizarre: "Could it be that this guy with the pigtail came to Fengmen Village for news of the Miao Jiang Immortal Palace, and that's why he's been staying in his room for the past few months without showing up, just to wait for today?"
"Impossible! Your logic doesn't hold water!"
Jiang Man shook her head: "We only found out yesterday that Fengmen Village was planning to announce the news of Miao Jiang Immortal Palace through the Heroes' Gathering. How could this person have known about Fengmen Village's plan months in advance?"
Hearing Jiang Man say that, I scratched my head and asked, "So, where has this guy been hiding all this time?"
"Perhaps this person knows the art of disguise! In Fengmen Village, it's quite normal to wear a mask when going out, and this person is just an ordinary person. If he covers up his most distinctive braid, it would be really hard for people to discover his identity."
Wang Qing paused for a moment: "I still have a Sky Tiger Armor on me, should we keep an eye on this guy?"
"never mind."
I waved my hand: "Once Fengmen Village releases the news about the Miao Jiang Immortal Palace, we should leave this place. There's no point in keeping an eye on this person at this point."
We chatted for a while, and by then the hall was almost full. The host went up on stage, took the microphone, and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, please keep quiet. The Fengmen Village Heroes' Gathering is now officially beginning! Now, let's invite the Fengmen Village management to give a speech!"
As soon as the host finished speaking, a burly man wearing a cloak and a mask walked onto the stage.
Although the host only mentioned the three words "management," I recognized the person's voice and knew he was Ma Mian.
Seeing the horse-faced figure step onto the stage, he whispered to Wang Qing, "Aren't you one of the top ten ghost messengers of Fengmen Village now? Why are you still hanging around with us instead of being in charge of security or something?"
Wang Qing said in a low voice, "I signed the contract, but it won't take effect until next month. The people of Fengmen Village still have some humanity. They know my junior sister is still here, so they asked me to come and say goodbye to her and you all!"
Horse-faced cleared his throat on the stage and said succinctly, "As you all know, Fengmen Village is known as the number one black market in the country. Its achievements today are inseparable from your strong support! And Fengmen Village has always been committed to serving every one of our villagers well!"
Anyone who has visited Fengmen Village should know that the so-called Heroes' Gathering is Fengmen Village's way of giving back to everyone!
Intelligence that shines forth is called heroism! Courage that surpasses all is called heroism! A hero possesses the ability to defy everything and the aura to look down upon all others! Fengmen Village has always recognized and valued heroes! Therefore, the rewards of this Heroes' Gathering can only be obtained by heroes!
Enough with the small talk. I know your time is precious, so I hereby announce that the reward for this year's Heroes' Gathering is the legendary ethereal immortal tomb, the Miao Immortal Palace where the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden is buried!
These words were met with a chorus of boos from the audience.
Of course, most people here have heard the legend of the Miao Jiang Fairy Palace, and some even came specifically for this legend.
However, when the people of Fengmen Village announced the news in person, it still brought a strong shock to everyone.
Horse-face seemed to have anticipated this reaction from everyone, and without giving them much time to think, he went straight to the point: "Fengmen Village has many talented and extraordinary people, and their channels for obtaining information are also diverse. They have always been very interested in gathering information within the circle, and this time, we have actually found clues about the Miao Jiang Immortal Palace."
According to the investigation, the Miao Jiang Xian Gong (Fairy Palace of Miao Territory) is likely located in the Yalong River basin of Sichuan, from the Bayan Har Mountains in Qinghai to the Panzhihua area of Sichuan. Personnel sent by Fengmen Village to investigate discovered a large number of antiques at a place called Ping'an Village, at the border of the two provinces. We analyze that these are very likely items brought out from the Miao Jiang Xian Gong due to flash floods.
We have compiled the relevant intelligence and coordinates, and will distribute them to everyone present today. However, I must remind you all that the information provided by Fengmen Village must absolutely not be leaked. Otherwise, we will use all our superior forces to eliminate those who have betrayed Fengmen Village.
As soon as Ma Mian finished speaking, the staff members present began to walk down from the podium and distribute the file folders they were holding one by one.
At this moment, Horse Face continued, "The Heroes' Gathering has always been a welfare activity for Fengmen Village to give back to all the villagers. So if any of you here are lucky enough to find the Miao Jiang Immortal Palace, we promise to help you ship the goods for free, without charging any fees!"
Today, many heroes rise up; I wish you all outstanding achievements and resounding success!
After speaking, Horse-Face stepped down from the podium.
Shortly after, a staff member came over to us, handed us several file folders, and said to those around us, "Gentlemen, today's meeting is over. You may leave now."
Seeing that the people in front of me were preparing to leave, I followed them out, opening the file folder and pulling out a piece of paper.
This piece of paper is a satellite cloud image, and a coordinate point is marked in the blank space at the bottom, which is the location of Ping'an Village.
I looked at the location marked with a red circle on the cloud map and found that Ping'an Village is located deep in the mountains. There wasn't even a road for vehicles to pass through on the map. I wondered how the people in the village managed to survive.
After we went outside, Jiang Man glanced at the cloud map in her hand and asked me, "What are your thoughts on what happened today?"
"That's exactly why we came here. What else can we do but go and find out!"
I waved the map in my hand: "Besides finding Duan Jinyan, I also want to see what kind of place this legendary Miao Jiang Immortal Palace is!"
After listening to my words, Wang Qing sighed: "I was thinking that since you've helped me so much, I should keep you here a little longer and treat you well, but judging from this, I guess we won't be able to get together! You don't have a Fengmen Village identity, and I don't know when I can leave, or when we can meet again!"
I didn't mention my affair with the snake woman to Wang Qing. I just smiled and said, "Mountains may not meet, but people will always meet. Don't be so sad. We can overcome difficulties together and achieve a happy ending. Isn't that great?"
Wang Qing patted my arm and smiled, "Let's go, I'll see you off!"
