The next day, at dawn, Shen Yingnian and his party started their mountain climbing trip.
The mountain range where Haotian Gate is located is naturally called Haotian Mountain. It towers into the sky. The mountain gate is hidden in the lingering clouds and mist, adding a lot of mystery.
Many tourists and apprentices who come to visit Haotianmen often choose to walk up there to show their piety.
But for Young Master Shen, this is impossible. If he can lie down, he will never sit down, and if he can sit, he will never stand.
So he simply chose the cable car.
After admiring the beautiful scenery of the mountain stream and catching up on some sleep, Young Master Shen arrived at the station.
But they only reached a platform on the mountainside, and it was still a short distance from Haotianmen.
"Hey, why are there drones hanging around so early in the morning? They're following us." Ye Xiaotian looked at the drones hovering in the sky.
"Those are our protectors. Without them, we may not be able to get here safely." Shen Yingnian said lightly.
Ye Xiaotian still couldn't figure out the situation, but Shengnan, who was more sensitive, vaguely guessed the mystery!
She suddenly thought that Mr. Shen's bodyguards and secretaries did not follow, but stayed at the foot of the mountain.
And when they first got on the cable car, Katsuo saw them moving things from the trunk of the car.
"You asked your bodyguard to control the drone to follow us. Are you worried that someone might do something wrong to us along the way?" Katsuo asked tentatively.
"Are you kidding? Who can carry out sneak attacks and murders at high altitudes? Unless they are the legendary masters of the gods who can fly with swords." Tetsuo curled his lips.
Ye Xiaotian didn't quite believe it either: "Although I can fly in Superman's uniform, I can only fly at low altitudes. It's scary to be so high."
"Brother dei, you two need to eat more walnuts to replenish your brains when you have time. If a cultivator stands in a corner of the mountain, takes out a hidden weapon, throws it at the cable car, and cuts off the cable with a knife, do you think we can still do it? Are you standing here panting?" Shen Yingnian snorted coldly.
These words made everyone shudder.
This possibility really exists.
And it can also be disguised as an accident, causing them to fall to pieces and not even know how they died.
"Boss Shen, your cousin isn't so crazy, right?" Ye Xiaotian said in fear.
"It's not that he's crazy, it's just that a dog is sad." Shen Yingnian said quietly: "And it's not necessarily him who did it. Some people did it for him. Well, for example, the person in front of you may be his accomplice."
Everyone looked around and saw a young man wearing Taoist robes walking towards them.
"Excuse me, are you Mr. Shen Yingnian?" The young man wore glasses and looked polite.
"I am, who are you?" Shen Yingnian looked him up and down.
"I am Zhang Dongsheng, a disciple of Haotian Clan." Zhang Dongsheng said with a smile.
Zhang Dongsheng... This name is really impressive!
I remember he was a minor character in the original novel, Shen Yingjie's lackey.
He is not very capable, he is just a disciple of the outer sect, but he has a considerable presence in the novel.
The biggest characteristic of this guy is that he always likes to smile and ask others if they want to climb mountains together.
And his greatest achievement was when he was climbing a mountain with the elder who always bullied him, he asked the elder if he still had a chance to cultivate immortality. As a result, the elder disdainfully advised him to stop his delusions, and extended a kick to ask Zhang Dongsheng to tie it to him. Zhang Dongsheng squatted down to help tie his shoelaces, and then pushed the elder down the mountain!
Well, just like Zhang Dongsheng in a popular TV series, his trump card is to push people down the mountain.
It's probably because the author wanted to win people's attention by playing tricks, so he created such a supporting character in the novel.
Seeing the way Zhang Dongsheng was hiding a knife in his smile, Young Master Shen knew that this guy was definitely coming with bad intentions. He might have been hiding nearby just now, preparing to make him fall and be buried in the valley.
In other words, Zhang Dongsheng was probably sent by Shen Yingjie to intercept and kill him!
It's a pity that Zhang Dongsheng didn't take action, not because he didn't want to, but because he didn't dare!
Intentionally or unintentionally, Zhang Dongsheng glanced at the drones hovering in the sky, with a layer of gloom in his eyes, and said with a dry smile: "There are people playing with drones in the early morning. Technology is developing so well. Sometimes we... Practitioners feel some pressure.”
"Of course there will be pressure, especially those practitioners who are full of bad ideas, and they will not dare to seek wealth and kill people wantonly." Shen Yingnian smiled playfully.
Zhang Dongsheng frowned, but soon relaxed, and smiled: "In addition to technology, we also need more decent practitioners to maintain social order. There is peace and security within a few miles of Haotianmen, let alone criminal practices. Mr. Zhang can rest assured about this, and I heard that Mr. Shen may also worship our Haotianmen, and then there will be one more guardian of justice in the society. "
"Hahaha." Shen Yingxiao smiled disdainfully: "You know my situation very well."
"I'm very familiar with your cousin Shen Yingjie. He told me about you and said that you might go up the mountain today, so I was waiting here early to be a guide and lead you up." Zhang Dongsheng's explanation was very reasonable.
"Hehehehe." Shen Yingnian slapped him in the face again and asked, "Then how much did my cousin give you to Brother Zhang?"
Zhang Dongsheng's expression froze for a moment and he said: "It's normal for fellow students to help each other. Mr. Shen must have been in the city for a long time and is used to this kind of financial interest relationship."
"Tch! It sounds like your Haotian Clan doesn't care about money and interests. Who doesn't know that the Haotian Clan is the number one tycoon in the spiritual world. From the headmasters and elders to the inner disciples, the average per capita of the Haotian Clan basically has luxury houses and cars."
"At the foot of the mountain gate, Brother Shen, don't talk nonsense."
"I'm talking nonsense or you're just pretending. If you, Zhang Dongsheng, were rich, you would have bribed the elders to enter the inner gate long ago. Do you think you have to be Shen Yingjie's lackey?" Shen Yingnian sneered.
Zhang Dongsheng was stunned. He never expected that Shen Yingnian would speak so straightforwardly and know all about his situation!
"Have you checked on me?" Zhang Dongsheng restrained his friendly appearance and looked at this pretty boy with vigilance.
"Ha ha ha ha ha."
Young Master Shen smiled and said nothing.
He still needs to check, as a loyal fan of the original novel, he has already seen through everything.
Speaking of this, Zhang Dongsheng is quite miserable. Both his parents died when he was young. He was admitted to a prestigious school by studying hard. He originally had a chance to stay in a big city and work as a teacher, but because of his girlfriend, he went to a small place to become a teacher. The non-establishment type had finally saved up money to pay the down payment for a house. In order to express sincerity to his father-in-law and mother-in-law, he wrote his girlfriend’s name.
For the sake of love, he was willing to do all this.
However, being a dog licker leads to a good death (house). After marriage, he naturally became bald, and then naturally became a cuckold, and was bullied by his wife and his father-in-law and mother-in-law.
Finally, he made an appointment with his father-in-law, mother-in-law, and wife to climb the mountain together. When he came down, he was left alone. In grief, he left the mortal world and got into the Haotian Sect, but he still loved making appointments with people to climb the mountain...
