Anyway, Autumn Beauty is definitely going to go up and lead the way, so it's not bad for Zhao Mingyuan and those two little policemen either. Knowing that Wu Renyi was lurking nearby, Sun Baozi didn't know what fear was. He took out his own baton along with its leather case from behind his waist and handed it over to Zhao Mingyuan: "I'm afraid of accidental discharge, so I don't dare lend you a gun. This is not me saying it, but if we have to fight at close range, this stick is more useful than a handgun."
Yang Xiao and Yu Huo didn't have anything in their hands, they couldn't give the two little police officers a big nail and a cross to boost their morale, could they?
After gathering, led by Autumn Beauty, the group trudged over the pond and arrived at the sandy beach on the other side. Autumn Beauty pointed to a large boulder at the foot of the mountain and said: "From here on up, I'll take you to see a paradise on earth."
This huge boulder was over three meters high, with more than a dozen artificial marks on its surface. Autumn took advantage of these marks to climb up the rock, hand over foot, and in just a few moves she reached the top. Just as she was about to pull someone else up, Yang Xiao had already stepped onto the rock and walked up to the top step by step.
Zhao Mingyuan and a few others were shocked by Yang Diao's action, after all, he was the expert in charge of major cases in the department, and he really had an ace up his sleeve. Yang Diao stood on the rock and looked around, but didn't find anything unusual, so he made a hand gesture to indicate that it was safe for the others to come up again.
At this moment, Hugo suddenly jumped up and grabbed the two holes on top of his head with both hands. It can be seen that this foreign devil usually exercises rock climbing skills. He is almost like a monkey, Sun Baozi blinked his eyes, and when he opened his eyes again, Hugo was already standing beside Yang Xiao.
Zhao Mingyuan almost applauded, and when he looked at Sun Baozi again, his eyes revealed a look of admiration. The section chiefs and directors under him were all so powerful, what about this Vice Director Sun Desheng?
Just as Deputy Director Zhao and the two small policemen next to him were about to watch Sun Baozi climb up the rock, the deputy director turned to them and said: "Old Zhao, you come over and lend a hand, push me from behind. Old Yang, you and Yu Guo Director help pull me up from above, take some trouble, let's try to get me up in one go."
After finishing, Sun Baozi had already started climbing up with his hands grasping the chiseled marks, but his belly was too big and was propped up by this big belly. His hands couldn't grasp the upper chiseled marks no matter how hard he tried. Moreover, he swayed back and forth, looking like he could fall down at any moment. Zhao Mingyuan and two small policemen rushed over to support his large buttocks, and the three of them used all their strength, but still couldn't lift Sun Baozi up a few centimeters.
Hugo and Autumn Beauty each grabbed one of Sun Bao's hands, originally intending to pull him up. However, after grabbing his hands, they both regretted it as Sun Bao's body was too heavy, and with a slight tug, he could pull the two of them down. Hugo exclaimed repeatedly, "Sun, don't exert yourself, if you do, all three of us will go down..."
He hadn't finished speaking when Yang Xiao pushed Autumn Beauty away, stretched out his hand to grab Sun Bao's hand and pulled it upwards with force. The strength was a bit too much, causing Sun Bao's skin to suffer a bit. Amidst his cries, Yang Xiao pulled Sun Bao onto the rock. Below, Zhao Mingyuan and two small policemen sat on the ground with a thud.
Sun Baozi covered his mouth and watched Yang Xiao with a sneer, originally wanting to say a few words to vent, but remembering the tragic event of Qilin's 15-story building that year. He swallowed back the words that had already reached his lips, and could only say: "Old Yang, it's not me saying this, but in the future if there are big actions, be more careful when taking action, don't make an exception."
After Zhao Mingyuan and the two little policemen climbed up, Qiu Dami saw that everyone was present, so he looked at Sun Pangzi and said: "Director Sun, are you taking a rest for a while or leaving now?"
Sun Baozi looked up at Autumn Beauty and said, "I'm not saying this, but it's time to go. Don't be polite, you lead the way and we'll follow behind." Sun Baozi paused for a moment, then turned to Zhao Mingyuan and the two young police officers, "The ashes might be at the summit. From now on, every step we take must be careful and cautious. Try not to make any noise, and avoid touching anything that seems strange or unusual."
After finishing speaking, Sun Pangzi let Autumn Dabai continue to lead the way and head towards the summit. However, unexpectedly, Autumn Dabai turned her head and pointed to a location behind a large boulder, saying: "Crane Mouth Peak is different from other mountain peaks. The entire outer perimeter of the mountain body does not have any roads that can be climbed to reach the summit. Generally, only old Taoist priests who gather herbs will wander around on the outside of the mountain body. If you want to get to the summit, there's no choice but to go through the inside." As she spoke, she turned her body and walked a few steps, using a tall wild hemp stalk to brush aside, revealing a dark cave entrance inside.
Who would have thought that there was a hole here, Sun Baozi and several others were shocked. Just saw Autumn Beauty's body shrink, already walked into the cave. Sun Baozi and several others looked at each other, then immediately followed behind Autumn Beauty, entering this mountain cave together. From the outside, the entrance of the cave is very inconspicuous, small and short. Sun Baozi almost took a deep breath, holding his breath, making his belly smaller, before he could barely squeeze in.
However, upon entering the cave, it was discovered that the inside and outside of the cave were two completely different scenes. This Crane Mouth Peak is like a giant gourd, with the outer mountain being an empty shell, while the inside of the gourd is a vast space filled with stalactites and some unknown crystalline structures. After entering, it was pitch black, unable to see one's fingers when stretching out their hand. Fortunately, Autumn Beauty had prepared beforehand, taking out two flashlights, holding one in her own hand and handing the other to Director Sun.
Sun Baozi waved his hand and didn't want the flashlight: "I have night vision eyes, the darker it is, the clearer I can see. I don't need this thing." Seeing Sun Baozi didn't want it, Qiu Dimei handed the flashlight over to her direct supervisor Zhao Mingyuan.
Deputy Director Zhao didn't hesitate, and with a flashlight in hand, he took a series of random photos, trying to use the faint light to get a clear view of the terrain inside the cave. However, his flashlight was immediately pressed down by Sun Baozi: "I'm not saying this, Old Zhao, but if there's a skeleton nearby, you'd already be dead."
Sun Baozi pointed Zhao's flashlight at the ground and continued to fabricate: "Gu Hui was a shooting champion in the sports school back then, both long and short guns were pinpoint accurate. Almost two dozen people died under his gun, some were even headshot as soon as they poked their heads out. The frequency of you showing your face just now would have been enough for a burst of gunfire. It's still a long-barreled rifle magazine, the kind with 30 rounds."
Zhao Mingyuan's legs turned to jelly as he listened, and he wanted to hand the flashlight over to his two junior police officers. But in a matter of life and death, who wouldn't be cautious? The two young policemen had already deliberately distanced themselves from Zhao Mingyuan. Deputy Director Zhao didn't dare shout randomly, so he imitated Autumn's actions, shining the light on the ground, following at the end of the team, step by step moving forward.
After scaring Zhao Mingyuan, Sun Pangzi walked up to Yang Xiao's side and said in a low voice: "Old Yang, has Director Wu arrived? I'm not saying this, but if your Director Wu doesn't come, my heart won't be at ease."
Yang Xiao looked at Sun Baozi and said, "I don't have the ability to predict when Director Wu will appear. However, since Director Wu said he would take another route, he shouldn't be too far away." As he spoke, Yang Xiao suddenly smiled and continued, "But as long as it involves this set of spiritual manipulation, even if Director Wu can't arrive on time, I can still ensure that you won't get into trouble. It's just Liu Baozhen's ghost, after all. With me here, dealing with Liu Baozhen will just take a bit more effort."
At this point, Yang Xiao's expression on his face suddenly became strange, and he muttered to Sun Baozi: "If it weren't for the things that involved the Shao family back then, Director Wu wouldn't be so anxious now either."
When Yang Xiao mentioned the Shao family back then, Sun Wuzi was about to continue asking a few more questions. On the other side, Autumn Beauty saw that almost everyone had arrived and started leading the way, continuing towards the deeper part of the mountain cave.
Sun Baozi and Yang Dian followed behind Qiu Damei, walking towards the inside of the cave. Although the slope was not very steep, Sun Baozi still felt that his feet were on a gentle incline, and these people were walking up along the slope.
After passing through a large area of stalactite forest, Akio suddenly stopped in her tracks, and her body began to tremble slightly. The light from the flashlight in Akio's hand shone on something on the ground not far away.
At first, Sun Baozi didn't see clearly what it was, but after seeing Autumn's unusual behavior, he looked carefully at the ground again and saw that what scared Autumn so much was a piece of bone. More accurately, it was a snake bone. Just as Sun Baozi was wondering why a piece of bone was so scary, the flashlight in Autumn's hand began to move upwards, and countless pieces of snake bones, just like the one before, were all over the ground, making people feel chilled to the bone.
At this time, Zhao Mingyuan's flashlight also shone over from behind, overlapping with Autumn Dami's flashlight. The flashlight in his hand seemed to be shaking back and forth, swaying non-stop on the spot. Zhao Mingyuan asked Autumn Dami, "You used to be here, haven't you seen these bones before?"
Qiu Da Mei shook her head and said: "No, I've turned around in here, never seen anything like this on the road before."
When Autumn Beauty finished speaking, Sun Baozi had already approached Yang Xiao's side and said: "Old Yang, can you see anything?" Yang Xiao looked ahead and said: "It's just a field of snake bones, nothing else can be seen. However, it's also possible that there are things that can't be seen with the naked eye."
When he spoke, Yang Xiao pulled out a small porcelain bottle from his pocket. He removed the wooden stopper and poured the golden powder inside onto the ground, which drifted towards the snake bones without any wind. In just the blink of an eye, the snake bones on the ground were covered with a layer of gold as if they had been coated with gold lacquer.
Just as Sun Wukong was puzzled, he heard a "whoosh" sound, and the layer of gold lacquer suddenly caught fire by itself.
