Under One Person: Dressed as Lü Liang, with vests all over

Chapter 133: Outing, Second Score
"Lao Wang, why did you come back alone?"

In the open space, Zhuge Qing looked at Wang Ye who was walking towards him in surprise. After his gaze stayed on him for a moment, he looked behind him.

"You guys aren't going to fight, are you?" Zhuge Qing couldn't help but ask with a look of suspicion on his face.

"Can't fight."

Wang Ye waved his hand, his tone concise and clear, and only replied with these three words.

Hearing this answer, Zhuge Qing narrowed his eyes slightly, and the suspicion on his face became even stronger.

Two people went together, but only one person came back. There is something wrong no matter how you look at it.

Wang also noticed Zhuge Qing's expression, glanced unhappily towards the other side of the cliff, and then quickly looked away.

"Don't worry, Lu Liang is fine. He will probably be back soon."

"With his abilities...tsk tsk, it's hard for him to even die..."

Zhuge Qing felt relieved after hearing this, but he still stared at Wang Ye, his eyes slightly curved as he asked with a hint of inquiry:
"Old Wang, why do I feel like you're not in the right state after you came back from chatting with Lu Liang?"

As soon as these words came out, Wang Ye immediately recalled his previous experience. He shook his head with a complicated expression and said with emotion:
"That situation, that experience, it wouldn't be right for anyone..."

"Old Qing, I now understand why you want to get involved in this mess."

"That Lu Liang, wow, he's really extraordinary."

Having said that, Wang Ye put away the emotion on his face, reached out and gently patted Zhuge Qing on the shoulder, and said:
"Lao Qing, don't just ask me, tell me about your things too."

"I won't bother with you about your tricks on me earlier. I just want to ask, what are your plans next?"

Wang Ye paused, his expression became serious, and his tone became solemn.

He looked directly into Zhuge Qing's eyes and asked seriously:

"Lao Qing, after we get out of Qinling, do you still plan to follow Lu Liang?"

"Lao Wang, this is my——"

Zhuge Qing had just said a few words when he was interrupted by Wang Ye.

"Well, don't try to fool me with things like 'This is my business, I know what's going on,' Lao Qing. I risked my life to come here this time..."

This time, Zhuge Qing fell silent.

And silence itself is an answer.

……

Wang Ye's face instantly showed a hint of worry.

He slowly withdrew his hand that was originally on Zhuge Qing's shoulder, turned his gaze towards the cliff, and spoke in a distant tone.

"Lao Qing... I'm worried that you will be influenced by him and even identify with him."

Zhuge Qing casually put his hands in his pockets, his eyes a little empty, looking vaguely in the direction of the cliff.

He was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke, "You know, Old Wang, whether a person is worth associating with or not depends on a quality that even transcends good and evil and plays a more decisive role..."

As he spoke, Zhuge Qing stretched out his right hand, made a half-square shape, and said seriously:

"This trait is called 'measure'!"

"You are a gentle person, and Bilian is thoughtful. You both know your limits, so I enjoy associating with you."

"And Lu Liang also possesses this trait."

"Perhaps in the eyes of the outside world, Lu Liang is a traitor to the Lu family, a demon of all nature, and a madman who only wants the world to be in chaos."

"But from my interactions with him these days, he is actually a man of measure."

"Besides, facing someone who is mysterious, powerful, and who can benefit you...it's really hard to stay away."

Zhuge Qing withdrew his hand and spoke very frankly.

"That's it..."

Wang also recalled the conversation between Lu Liang and Zhou Sheng just now, and found that he could not find the words to refute and persuade Zhuge Qing.

After a moment's silence, he turned to another question.

"Lao Qing, I remember that you went to Jishitang to look for missed opportunities. Moreover, you told me before that you always consider yourself first when making decisions."

"So... did you get the thing that made you decide to follow that person?"

Upon hearing this question, a smile appeared on Zhuge Qing's face, and his already squinted eyes became even more squinted because of the smile.

"We are all sorcerers, guess what..."

The next moment, Wang Ye touched his chin, looked Zhuge Qing up and down, and muttered to himself:
"The aura is different... It's not my illusion... It's indeed different..."

"Lao Qing, do you have any new encounters?"

"Yes." Zhuge Qing narrowed his eyes and smiled, admitting it straightforwardly, "Although it wasn't what I was looking for at the beginning, after entering the Qinling Mountains, I did gain some insights."

"Lao Wang, let's find a chance next time and have another good fight?"

"Okay!"

Wang Ye agreed very readily, with a meaningful smile on his face. He stretched out his hand and made a tiny gap with his index finger and thumb, and said jokingly:

"Hehe, it just so happens that after entering the Qinling Mountains, I've made a little progress, and I was just looking for someone to practice with."

Upon hearing this, Zhuge Qing suddenly felt an ominous premonition in his heart.

Before he could react, Wang Ye grabbed his shoulder.

"Lao Qing, I think it's better to do it today than to wait for another day. How about we try it now?"

Zhuge Qing:......

……

When Lu Liang returned to the open space, what caught his eye was the scene of Wang Ye "fighting" with Zhuge Qing again.

"I surrender! Lao Wang, I surrender!"

When Zhuge Qing saw Lu Liang coming over, he immediately raised his hands and gestured to the king.

Wang Ye then stopped and his eyes first fell on Lu Liang, then quickly moved behind Lu Liang, trying to find Zhou Sheng, but he found no trace of Zhou Sheng.

Then he raised his head and looked at the sky, his eyes sweeping over the surrounding tree trunks, carefully searching for traces of birds or black smoke.

But after searching for a while, still nothing was found.

"Old Wang, what are you looking at?" Zhuge Qing asked puzzledly.

Wang also shook his head and did not answer.

At this time, the eyes of other people present also turned to Lu Liang.

Lu Liang walked closer, but his eyes first fell on Zhang Chulan, and he asked:
"Zhang Chulan, have you figured out how to deal with these people?"

"Of course, we should take them out and hand them over to the company," Zhang Chulan said righteously, "These are all evidence of Yaoxing Society's crimes of atrocities against aliens."

"As a dedicated employee like me, it's natural for me to actively report to my superiors."

Upon hearing this, Lu Liang raised his eyebrows slightly.

He had deliberately thrown this problem to Zhang Chulan because these people were difficult to deal with.

As far as he was concerned, the company had not yet obtained any key evidence or captured any living criminals regarding the Yaoxing Society issue, so the investigation had not made much progress.

And these seven people in front of us can just fill this gap.

But the problem is that they may have seen the oil painting of Feng Baobao. For Zhang Chulan, these people are undoubtedly potential risks.

Lu Liang didn't want to be involved in a public incident involving a loss of life, so the choice of "reporting" or "silencing" was left to Zhang Chulan to weigh on his own.

Now it seems that Zhang Chulan seems to have other plans.

Zhang Chulan seemed to see what Lu Liang was thinking and said in a deep voice, "Lu Liang, don't ask me about the specifics, but I will take care of this matter."

"Okay, I believe you."

As Lu Liang spoke, he casually threw an empty swallowing sac to Zhang Chulan.

"Using this, it's more convenient to take people out."

Zhang Chulan took it and looked at the sac in his hand with some curiosity. But before he could be happy about getting this rare storage device, he heard Lu Liang continue:
"I'm borrowing the Devouring Sac from you. Remember to return it to me next time we meet!"

"Oh my god, you Grandet! So stingy!"

"If you don't want to lend it, forget it. Perhaps carrying seven people on your shoulders would be more suitable for you."

"No! Brother Lu, I'm willing to lend it to you!"

"Hey, since I'm just borrowing it, Brother Lu, why don't you lend me a few more?"

"roll!"

……

After some banter, everyone finally gathered together again and started talking about the main topic.

"The collection has been successfully acquired. The next question to discuss is whether to continue onward or turn back..."

Lu Liang glanced at everyone and said first, "I plan to go in and take a look, but you can make your own decision."

"Do you want to go further in?" Zhuge Qing's narrowed eyes flashed with interest.

"Since we're here, we must go and take a look." Zhang Chulan glanced quickly at Feng Baobao and said.

"I'll listen to Zhang Chulan." Feng Baobao continued.

Barron nodded at the side. "There's such a mysterious place of death just outside. I also want to know what's inside."

"Jinfeng'er, what do you think?" Xia Liuqing turned his head and looked at Mei Jinfeng.

Mei Jinfeng was silent for a moment, glanced at Lu Liang, and then nodded.

She said in a deep voice: "Next, the place we are going to is the real Twenty-Four Sections Valley."

……

A quarter of an hour later.

"arrive!"

Mei Jinfeng tilted her neck back, her eyes fixed on the valley in front of her, and spoke with a hint of excitement that was hard to conceal in her voice.

The others also stopped and looked up ahead.

Lu Liang saw that not far in front of them, two steep and dangerous mountain walls were like two sharp swords, rising from the ground and piercing the sky, magnificent and imposing.

Between the two mountain walls, a long and narrow passage winds forward, deep and distant, with no end in sight.

The passage is dimly lit and there is no charming scenery. However, it is this mysterious atmosphere that gives rise to a strong urge to explore the inside of the passage.

"Let's go in and have a look."

As soon as Lu Liang finished speaking, everyone tacitly circulated the Qi in their bodies, their feet made the wind, and they rushed quickly into the valley.

However, this state of rapid running only lasted less than a hundred meters. The unusual movement coming from behind made them stop and turn back at the same time.

"Are the monkeys following us?"

Zhang Chulan stopped vigilantly and asked with a puzzled tone.

He glanced at Feng Baobao worriedly, fearing that the monkeys were coming for her and that everyone would notice Feng Baobao's uniqueness again.

But what happened next completely stunned him.

He saw...

The monkeys slowly straightened up, their front limbs gradually lifted off the ground, and their originally bent backs slowly began to straighten.

The lumbar spine, spine, cervical spine... those joints that were used to bending began to make subtle adjustments...

One step, two steps, three steps...

These monkeys actually changed from crawling on all fours to walking upright on two feet like humans.

……

Lu Liang was also observing this scene.

Without hesitation, he walked straight up to a monkey that had already stood up, used the Jishidiang skills, and reached out to examine it carefully.

Qi has already appeared in the body of this upright monkey, and it is starting from the Ren and Du meridians, circulating in an orderly manner...

Facing the curious gazes of the others, Lu Liang explained, "These monkeys are practicing Qi."

"Xingqi?" Zhuge Qing and Wang Ye asked in confusion at the same time.

At this moment, Feng Baobao uttered two words: "Yaoshu."

"Yaoshu?" Everyone subconsciously felt the location of Yaoshu, and then their faces changed instantly.

"There was indeed a slight sense of unnaturalness when the Qi in my body passed through the Yaoshu points... It was as if while I was mobilizing it myself, there was also a force guiding me at the same time."

Zhuge Qing expressed his feelings.

"It's never happened before. I'm sure it happened after we entered the valley..."

Zhuge Qing's words instantly resonated strongly with everyone.

Lu Liang also felt that strange feeling, and his eyes fell on the stone walls on both sides.

I saw that the entire mountain wall was densely engraved with patterns. Even if I didn't look at it specifically, I would inadvertently see them with the corner of my eye.

The grooves of these lines vary in width, but their depth is surprisingly consistent.

Hidden between these gullies are some lighter and finer stripes, which are closely attached to the stone carvings and are almost imperceptible without careful observation.

Others began to notice the lines, too.

Wang Ye stretched out his fingers and touched the stone walls, with amazement flashing in his eyes.

"The layout of these lines is amazing. It may seem chaotic, but from any angle or any part of the painting, the message it conveys to the viewer is consistent..."

“Even if they don’t depict anything specific, the image itself carries information…”

"These curves are the method to guide the flow of Qi in the body!"

Lu Liang nodded, feeling the Qi flowing in his body.

This valley is equivalent to an extremely large self-cultivation furnace.

Once a living being enters the valley, the Qi in its body will be guided by the patterns on the stone walls and begin to circulate in a circular manner.

"The human body has twenty-four vertebrae... This place happens to be called the Twenty-Four Segment Valley... Perhaps this is the origin of the valley's name."

On the side, Barron also noticed the lines on the mountain wall.

He asked Mei Jinfeng, "Mei, are these strange patterns related to your Sect Leader?"

"Grandma Jinfeng, are these lines man-made or naturally formed?" Zhang Chulan also asked.

Mei Jinfeng shook her head. "I don't know who originally built this place. I only know that the headmaster designed it."

Barron reached out and touched the fine lines on the mountain wall. "Processing, you mean these fine lines, right?"

"Yes, there are some finer lines hidden in these grooves. These fine lines were drawn by the master," Mei Jinfeng replied. "I don't know about the others."

"However, the Sect Leader gave me two hints about the original owner of the Twenty-Four Section Valley..."

"What hint?"

……

Just as everyone in the valley was studying the mystery of Wu Gensheng, things were already getting lively outside the Qinling Mountains.

Beijing, Nadutong Company Headquarters, inside the board office.

Zhao Fangxu spoke to the computer screen in front of him, "Erzhuang, how is the situation in Qinling going?"

"Hehe, with me, Erzhuang, helping out, there will naturally be no problem."

Accompanied by a crisp and pleasant electronic sound, a photo popped up on the screen.

"Mr. Zhao, please take a look at this first. This is the result of satellite data transmission."
