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

Chapter 143 You are not from this world, right?

"What's the big hidden danger? Could it be that Chen Junyan's identity is very important, and the organization behind him is going to cause trouble for him?"

Zhang Chulan asked curiously.

Zhao Fangxu looked up at him and didn't answer the question. Instead, he smiled and teased:
"Why, are you planning to tip off Lu Liang?"

"How is that possible! I'm not that kind of person!"

Zhang Chulan widened his eyes and waved his hands repeatedly, looking as if to say, "My loyalty to the company is evident to all."

But after a moment of silence, he couldn't help but ask again: "Boss Zhao, is this matter related to Wang Zhenqiu?"

Hearing this, Zhao Fangxu raised his eyebrows slightly and asked:
"Who told you?"

"No one told me, I just guessed it." Zhang Chulan laughed.

He recalled, "Last time in Biyou Village, Qiu'er was furious because he'd been tricked by that 'fake Chen Junyan'. I heard him mutter something like, 'If this disguise attracts that idiot, it'll be annoying.'"

"However, when I asked him, he insisted that I had misheard. But I have a hunch that there might be a connection between him and the real Chen Junyan..."

After hearing this explanation, Zhao Fangxu's eyes flashed with surprise and admiration.

In his heart, he secretly praised Zhang Chulan for his sharp observation ability.

However, the affairs of that organization were too confidential, and Zhang Chulan was not qualified to know about them with his authority.

So, Zhao Fangxu changed the subject directly.

"Chu Lan, when you give Lu Liang a message, remember to ask him about Chen Duo."

Zhang Chulan scratched his head. "Uh... Actually, Lu Liang told me about Chen Duo in Qinling Mountains."

This time, it was Zhao Fangxu's turn to open his eyes wide.

"Then why didn't you say anything when you were on the wide bench?"

“No one asked…”

Zhang Chulan chuckled.

His eyes rolled, as if he had thought of something, and he asked Zhao Fangxu:

"Boss Zhao, if Chen Duo has been cured and is no longer a threat to the outside world, does the company still need to bring her back?"

"Of course!" Zhao Fangxu said without hesitation.

He raised his hand to push up his glasses on the bridge of his nose and said:
"There must be an explanation for Liao Zhong's death."

"Actually, after discovering Chen Duo was missing, I asked Er Zhuang to look for her."

“But so far, nothing has been found.”

Zhao Fangxu frowned slightly.

"Lv Liang may have helped her change her appearance. Besides, she doesn't use a cell phone, doesn't go online, and doesn't go out."

"People like this are almost invisible in modern society."

Zhang Chulan nodded in agreement, praising him non-stop, "Boss Zhao's analysis is spot on!"

"Stop flattering me and get down to business."

Zhao Fangxu said unhappily.

"Hehe, Lu Liang said that Chen Duo's body has been cured, so there is no need to worry about the poison leaking out."

"Besides, since Chen Duo didn't want to return to the company, he respected Chen Duo's idea."

Zhang Chulan quickly relayed Lu Liang's words, while at the same time, he kept observing Zhao Fangxu's expression.

Zhao Fangxu just nodded slightly.

"That's a good thing, but the company will definitely bring Chen Duo back, and the same goes for Ma Xianhong."

"Ma Xianhong transformed so many ordinary people into extraordinary people. The company will definitely settle this account with him."

"Unfortunately, we still don't know where Lu Liang hid them..."

……

Having said that, Zhao Fangxu suddenly smiled and looked at Zhang Chulan.

"Chu Lan, how about you go undercover and work for the company under Lu Liang's wing?"

When Zhang Chulan heard the word "undercover", his heart almost skipped a beat. He almost thought that Zhao Fangxu was calling on him.

"Mr. Zhao, please stop teasing me. I don't have the ability or courage to do that."

Zhang Chulan said with an embarrassed smile.

"Really? Why do I feel like you're so bold? You haven't said a single word of truth since you were on the wide bench."

Hearing this ridicule, Zhang Chulan immediately made up for it:
"Hey, Mr. Zhao, I was planning to tell you about Qinling in detail in private."

Zhao Fangxu shook his head and laughed.

"Okay, now we're in private, just say what you need to say."

"First, let's talk about what's inside the Qinling Mountains? What's so compelling that you're all rushing in?"

Zhang Chulan's expression became serious for once.

He gestured with his hand and said, "There is a valley inside, called the Twenty-Four Sections Tongtian Valley. Outside the valley is a Qi Bureau. If you don't follow a specific route to enter, you will die."

"A specific route?" A gleam of light flashed in Zhao Fangxu's eyes, and his gaze fell on Zhang Chulan with anticipation.

"Mr. Zhao, please don't look at me like that. I really don't remember the route and can't lead the way."

"How could you forget such an important route?"

Zhao Fangxu was a little skeptical.

Zhang Chulan immediately showed a regretful expression and spread his hands:

"I didn't know it at first. I only found out about it halfway through the journey, and it was too late to remember it."

"When I came out, I was discussing Chen Duo's affairs with Lu Liang, so I couldn't care less."

"Okay, go on." Zhao Fangxu waved his hand.

Zhang Chulan continued, "After entering, there are many monkeys there. The monkeys are very smart."

"The entrance to the valley they guard is the Twenty-Four Sections Valley."

Hearing this, Zhao Fangxu sat up straighter, knowing that what was coming next was the key point.

"There are many strange patterns carved on the mountain walls there. These patterns can help people circulate Qi."

"Xingqi?" Zhao Fangxu's expression became stern and solemn.

Zhang Chulan immediately guessed his concerns and added, "Boss Zhao, don't worry about ordinary people using this to become extraordinary people and break the population red line."

Zhao Fangxu looked up at Zhang Chulan with a questioning look in his eyes, waiting for Zhang Chulan's explanation.

"Mr. Zhao, think about it. If someone strayed in, with the fierce atmosphere outside, most people would probably be killed the moment they stepped in."

"Even if someone who knows the way leads an ordinary person in, it would be impossible to successfully convert an alien there."

"Well, what do you mean?" Zhao Fangxu asked.

Zhang Chulan said seriously, "We later discovered that between the lines on the mountain wall, Wu Gensheng had carved new fine lines. Those fine lines destroyed the last step of the Qi's circulation."

"The fine lines make it impossible to stop the flow of Qi in their bodies."

"So, if an ordinary person tries to obtain Qi flow through that valley, the final result will only be explosion and death."

Hearing this, the expression on Zhao Fangxu's face relaxed for a moment.

But soon, he narrowed his eyes again and asked:

"As far as I know, you didn't bring any ordinary people into the valley this time. How did you know this?"

"It was the monkeys," Zhang Chulan replied. "We saw the monkeys break in, and then we discovered it."

After he finished speaking, Zhao Fangxu once again stared at Zhang Chulan with a look that said, "I want to see how you plan to make this up."

Zhang Chulan choked.

Zhao Fangxu continued to ask, "What about Lu Liang? What was Lu Liang's reaction at that time?"

The slightly narrowed eyes behind the lenses carried a clear scrutiny, and it was obvious that he had guessed something.

"Okay." Zhang Chulan shrugged. "This information was indeed discovered from the monkey, but it was Lu Liang who reminded us of this."

"Lü Liang pointed this out to prevent the company from destroying the place..."

Zhao Fangxu analyzed with a hint of a smile on his face.

"After all, if the risk posed by the existence there is too great, even if we can't get in, the company can mobilize thermal weapons to bombard it from above and completely destroy the valley."

"However, Lu Liang didn't want to destroy it, which means there was something inside that he wanted to keep."

Zhao Fangxu stared straight at Zhang Chulan, "Chulan, what's inside?"

"Nothing at all."

Zhang Chulan shook his head in response, and quickly added, "Or rather, it existed originally, but was destroyed."

"It was destroyed by Wu Gensheng."

"By solving the puzzle left by Wu Gensheng, we found the cave at the bottom of the valley. That is the core of the Twenty-Four Sections Valley."

"Did Lu Liang also tell you this puzzle?"

"No, it was Mei Jinfeng who said that. However, it was Lu Liang who guessed the answer to the riddle."

"The puzzle has only two clues: 'What is a human being?' and 'Sincerity'... We were..."

Zhao Fangxu listened to Zhang Chulan's description silently, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

Zhang Chulan continued, "The original writing in the cave has been completely destroyed. Only a few scattered words can be seen."

"This method...is true...wonderful and truer..."

Zhao Fangxu listened attentively to Zhang Chulan's retelling, frowning and thinking.

Then, his eyes lit up and he asked, "Is this the 'Wu Zhen Pian'?"

"Yes." Zhang Chulan nodded. "So, from the few remaining traces, we have deduced the former owner of that place."

"It is none other than Zhang Boduan, the Hermit of Ziyang, who is said to have long ago attained immortality."

……

"Zhang Boduan?"

"Ziyang Hermit, the founder of the Southern School of Taoism?!"

In the Truth-Seeking Society, Huang Ning stood up from his chair in surprise.

An excited expression appeared on his face, and he murmured:

"No wonder, no wonder Master Hu said there were traces of immortals there!"

Huang Ning's eyes flashed with intense desire. As soon as he sat down, he couldn't help but lean forward and approached Lu Liang and asked:

"Brother Lu, do you think the birth of the Eight Wonders is related to that place?"

Lu Liang did not answer, but asked: "Why does President Huang think so?"

"Although I haven't seen many of the Eight Great Skills, each one can be called miraculous. It's not an exaggeration to call such abilities divine skills."

"And I'm not the only one who thinks this way."

Huang Ning stood up as he spoke and walked to the small study behind the screen in the conference room.

Through the screen, you can see his figure seemingly opening the bookcase to look for something.

When Huang Ning came out, he had two book-like objects in his hands.

Huang Ning carefully moved the teapot off the table, and wiped away the non-existent water stains on the table with his sleeves, and only then did he bear to put the two books down.

Facing Lu Liang's puzzled eyes, he explained:

"Brother Lu, since you've so readily shared the secret of the Twenty-Four Section Valley with me, I naturally can't keep it to myself."

"These two booklets are old items."

"These are the materials related to the Jiashen Rebellion that our Seeking Truth Society has preserved."

"These things may help you unlock the secrets of the Eight Great Techniques."

Huang Ning looked at Lu Liang sincerely and said earnestly:

"Brother Lu, the outside world speculates that you possess one of the Eight Wonders. I don't ask, nor do I covet it."

"But to be honest, I, Huang Ning, really want to get a unique skill for our Truth Seeking Society."

"If you really find clues to the Eight Great Techniques in these materials, I hope our Seeking Truth Society can also benefit from it. I'm not picky, any one will do..."

……

Lu Liang reached out and took the book on top.

It is said to be a book, but in fact it is a notebook, and it is written with a brush, which has a very retro feel.

Upon opening the first page, a line of words caught my eye. "Disciple Bian Tong has secretly associated with the demon Quan Xing, forming a sworn brotherhood. This behavior is a blatant violation of the rules of the Natural Sect. His rebellious behavior cannot be forgiven lightly, and he deserves severe punishment to restore the sect's integrity. The details of the interrogation are recorded below as a basis for punishment."

While Lu Liang was flipping through the book, Huang Ning was explaining it to him.

"Back then, Senior Bian Tong, in order to atone for his sins, revealed all the details of how the Thirty-Six Thieves met and swore brotherhood."

"That was his confession at the time."

Lu Liang flipped through the book quickly, and he already knew many of the records.

But there are some new details.

For example, the age order of thirty-six people.

The oldest is Dou Hong from Avalokitesvara...and the youngest is Zhang Xuan from Mo Men.

When turning to a certain page, Lu Liang paused and looked up at Huang Ning.

"President Huang, do you mind if I take a picture?"

"It's okay, you take the picture."

Lu Liang took out his cell phone and took a photo of one of the pages.

That page records what Wu Gensheng said when they became sworn brothers:
"Everyone, I... am not... rootless. My last name is 'Feng'!"

"Haha! I, Feng Yao, not only have roots, but also descendants!"

Lu Liang glanced at the content with satisfaction. This was a good thing that could be used to trade with Zhang Chulan later.

He saved the photos, put away his phone without a SIM card, and continued to flip through the book.

Soon, he saw the source of the basis for Huang Ning's guess.

A few days after they became sworn brothers, when the thirty-six of them were drinking in the mountains, Wu Gensheng casually uttered these sentiments:
"This place... this valley... the true beauty of it all, you haven't experienced it yet."

"Below... you can glimpse the secrets of heaven and reproduce... the divine skills... the shortcut..."

The recorded content is incomplete, like the mumbling of a drunk person.

But considering the eight unique skills in the world today, it is really hard not to think about it.

"Does this "below" refer to the 'Nine-bend Coiled Cave' that the puzzle points to, or is there something else hidden beneath the valley?"

"It would be great if the words destroyed by Wu Gensheng could be restored..." Lu Liang thought silently.

……

After a moment, Lu Liang restrained the thoughtful look in his eyes and reached out to open the second book.

It was the same handwriting, but this looked like a diary.

Huang Ning said on the side: "Back then, Hu Menzhang of the Natural Sect forced Bian Tong into the Qinling Mountains."

"At that time, my teacher and Master Fang were waiting outside to meet them. In the end, the only person who emerged from the Qinling Mountains was the head of the Natural Sect."

"He died after saying only a few words. Fortunately, he had always kept a diary, and he wrote down everything he experienced in the mountains."

The content of this book is relatively thin, and Lu Liang read it very quickly.

It records various strange ways of death and the shock of seeing that mountain wall.

Lu Liang closed the book and handed it back.

"It seems that Hu Menzhang only went as far as the mountain wall."

Huang Ning nodded, "He realized he couldn't hold on any longer, so he turned back. He didn't expect he couldn't escape the disaster."

"So, Brother Lu, thank you so much for telling me what's going on inside."

Lu Liang chuckled, nodded, and stood up.

"That's all for today. Regarding the matter of the Ten Lords, President Huang, just wait for my notification."

"Don't tell the elders about my identity for now."

"understand!"

Huang Ning nodded vigorously.

Naturally, the fewer people who know about this kind of thing, the better.

……

Lucheng.

As soon as he left the Seeking Truth Society, Lu Liang found a secluded place and changed his appearance again.

He made minor adjustments to Liu Jian's appearance. Although the changes were not big, he ensured that no one would recognize him.

However, not long after he walked away, Lu Liang's brows furrowed.

Because of the two vague gazes behind him, it was hard for him to ignore them.

"Someone is following me?"

After realizing this, Lu Liang did not take immediate action, but pretended not to notice, continued walking forward, and quietly turned into an abandoned construction site.

At a corner where building materials were piled up, Lu Liang dodged and hid in the shadows.

"Eh? Where is the person?"

Not far away, a female voice muttered softly.

Then, a concerned male voice suddenly rang out.

"Wenshan, be careful!"

The blue-haired woman called "Wenshan" turned her head and saw three cold needles coming towards her.

Something sticky seemed to be flowing in the pure black needle.

This gave her a strong sense of danger. She could feel that if she was pricked by the needle, she would be skinned alive if not dead.

The next moment, she pushed off the ground with her right foot, flew into the air, and twisted her body in the air in an extremely unnatural way, actually avoiding the three poisonous needles with tricky angles.

Lu Liang frowned when he saw this scene.

He immediately controlled the poison needle to change its trajectory and stabbed the blue-haired young woman again.

At this time, the brown-haired young man also rushed over.

He kicked in the air, trying to kick away the poisonous needle.

But the stinger was very flexible and it changed direction almost instantly, attacking the two men's vital points again.

"No more hiding."

The brown-haired man whispered something, and then he actually reached out to grab the poisonous needle.

"Ersha, what are you doing? It's dangerous!"

The blue-haired woman shouted nervously.

But at this time, the brown-haired man had already caught one of the poisonous needles. He clenched his fist and squeezed it hard, and actually crushed the poisonous needle that was transformed by Qi with his bare hands.

The original Gu inside flowed out and stained his skin.

The man called "Er Sha" shook his hand and dropped the original Gu to the ground, and the grass there immediately turned yellow and withered.

"Is it so poisonous?" The man looked down.

"Ersha, are you okay?"

"It's okay, I'm fine."

Seeing this scene, Lu Liang, who was hiding in the dark, couldn't help but be a little surprised.

The original Gu was actually ineffective against that man. Could it be that he was wearing some high-level magical weapon?
Thinking of this, Lu Liang took back the other two poison needles. Since they were ineffective, there was no need to waste them. Although the destroyed poison needles could be regenerated, it would also take time.

……

"Possession!"

After being possessed by the spirit again, Lu Liang's pupils were still completely black, but his temperament had changed.

If someone stood in front of him at this time, they would find that his muscles were much stronger than before.

The next moment, he threw out a yellow talisman, which was the Five Hercules Talisman of Maoshan Shangqing.

The Five Strong Men Talisman glowed faintly in the wind and moved towards the woman in the middle with the momentum of a mountain pressing down on her.

The expected bombardment did not occur.

This talisman, which should have been able to create a big hole in the ground, was actually held up by the blue-haired woman with both hands.

Lu Liang raised his eyebrows, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"Is this kind of strength something a normal human can possess?"

Moreover, what made Lu Liang feel the most outrageous was that these two men fought for a long time without even taking a deep breath. Their physical fitness was astonishingly strong.

Lu Liang raised his hand and took out another thing from the swallowing sac - the Heaven-Swallowing Ball.

This is also a magic weapon made by Ma Xianhong himself, and its function is to directly absorb the opponent's Qi.

At the beginning, he used this magic weapon to break Zhao Guizhen's defense.

Under Lu Liang's manipulation, the Heaven-Swallowing Ball was suspended in the air, and a powerful suction force burst out from the round hole in the middle of it, heading towards the man and woman.

However, after inhaling for a long time, it seemed that nothing was inhaled.

"Well, is it possible that the Heaven-Swallowing Ball is malfunctioning?"

No! These two people in front of me don't have any Qi at all.

Lu Liang's pupils shrank, he reacted, and quickly guessed the other party's identity.

"Are you from the Great Love Organization?"

"Huh? How do you know?" the blue-haired woman said in surprise.

The brown-haired, cold-faced man looked at Lu Liang with a hint of surprise when he heard this.

"Wang Zhenqiu said so." Lu Liang replied casually.

When they are undecided, they just blame it on Wang Zhenqiu. Anyway, they will not confront Wang Zhenqiu.

"Qiu'er...is he okay?" Upon hearing the name, the woman couldn't help but ask.

"Wenshan, don't be silly. Qiu'er works for the company and he is Quan Xing. How can they have a good relationship?" said the brown-haired man.

"Hmph! You're the stupid one. Qiu wouldn't care about these things when making friends." The blue-haired woman rolled her eyes.

The brown-haired man choked.

When it comes to making friends, Wang Zhenqiu is a man who has no taboos as long as the two people are to his liking.

……

There was silence for a while.

At this time, they finally remembered that they had not introduced themselves yet.

The blue-haired woman smiled brightly. She pointed at herself, then at the person next to her, and said:

"Hello, my name is Wenshan, he is my partner Ersha, we are from the Great Love Organization."

"We are here today because we need to bring Mr. Lu Liang to the department to assist us."

"What did you call me?" Lu Liang asked.

"Mr. Lu Liang? Is there something wrong?" Wenshan replied.

Just when Lu Liang was wondering how the other party recognized his identity.

Ersha had already taken out an instrument shaped like a crystal ball from his backpack, raised his foot and walked a few steps towards Lu Liang.

When he stepped within three meters of Lu Liang, the transparent crystal ball actually emitted a striking yellow light.

"What is this for?" Lu Liang asked vigilantly.

Ersha and Wenshan did not answer, and there was a slight surprise in their eyes.

"It's actually true..." Wenshan looked at Lu Liang curiously.

Lu Liang frowned, "Shouldn't you explain it to me?"

Ersha finally took his eyes off the crystal ball in his hand and looked at Lu Liang.

"We noticed you because of Chen Junyan's incident."

"However, we came here today not because of this incident, but because we detected you."

Ersha slightly raised the crystal ball in his palm, and the crystal ball was still emitting yellow light.

He went on to explain: "This is the instrument we use to detect aliens."

"If it glows yellow, it means—you are not from this world."
