Chapter 616

Zhang Yitian didn't say a word, so he followed the people in front.

Ke Xinyi was right beside him. Zhang Yitian looked back at the others and found that the six or seven people in front of them were estimated to be the happiest. Although it was tiring to climb this stone step, they were too comfortable compared with the dozen people behind them.

Because there are more than a dozen people behind, everyone is carrying large and small packages, which should be all kinds of materials.

Just imagine, if you want to survive in this deserted place, it is estimated that there are at least 100 people in these areas, then only all kinds of rations and consumables every year may be in tons.

How do they survive? On this shoulder? That's really pissing!

However, it is estimated that these people have long been used to this exercise under extreme conditions. Even after walking half way, these people have not shown much kind. This is more than 200 meters, cow!

Zhang Yitian can't bear it. He's not tired, but he's not used to climbing mountains in this posture.

In order to counteract the sour and numb feeling brought by the waist, Zhang Yitian simply opened his mouth and asked Ke Xinyi.

"How did you think of settling in such a place?" he said. "Don't tell me you all live here!"

Ke Xinyi looked at Zhang Yitian and replied, "no, this is the secret base of Xuanmen and the headquarters. Only the core members of Xuanmen are here. Ordinary family members are scattered all over the country and even the world. They are either responsible for raising money for Xuanmen or collecting intelligence!"

"How do people live there?" Zhang Yitian asked again.

"After crossing the pass, there is a basin like terrain inside. There is enough space for farming. In most cases, the people here are self-sufficient." Ke Xinyi explained, "there are only some important things that need to be transported in from the outside! Such as those!"

Ke Xinyi pointed to a white metal box carried by a young man behind her. Looking at it, it is estimated that there are all kinds of instruments in it.

But it doesn't seem to explain why they hide themselves!

Indeed, Zhang Yitian feels that these people obviously want to hide themselves, otherwise even in a remote mountain village, the conditions are much better than here.

Ke Xinyi seems to see what Zhang Yitian thinks, which shows that the woman is still as smart as ever.

She then explained: "this is the headquarters of Xuanmen, and the headquarters was not here at the beginning, and it has only been moved for a hundred years. As for why you chose here, it is precisely because it is hidden enough. You may be the only outsider outside the five families of Xuanmen. In fact, even the people of the five families don't know much about it!"

Zhang Yitian smiled and thought that he was lucky enough to climb the mountain here.

But he would rather give up the luck.

"That stone tablet, should be here?" Zhang Yitian returned to the subject, and his sharp remark broke his guess.

However, the effect of this sentence really caught him off guard. As soon as he opened his mouth, Ke Xinyi immediately stopped and stared at him with a wary face.

To Zhang Yitian's consternation, more than 20 people who were crawling slowly stopped and turned their eyes to Zhang Yitian.

I guessed right... But Zhang Yitian didn't feel happy at all. Instead, he was stared at darkly.

This state lasted about ten seconds. Zhang Yitian seemed very embarrassed. He just said his guess.

"Keep moving!" at this time, xuanzi in front of him suddenly shouted.

This cry obviously relieved Zhang Yitian, the atmosphere eased, and everyone continued to climb up again.

Zhang Yitian twitched at the corners of his mouth for a moment and followed him on the road.

He's not the kind of person with a cheap mouth, but this time he's taught him a lesson.

He was not afraid, but really afraid. The eyes of those more than 20 people were really scary. It was like seeing an enemy. Zhang Yitian even felt that he would be killed by these people every minute and dumped his body in the wilderness!

After walking for a while, Ke Xinyi pretended not to step firmly and slipped downward. Zhang Yitian subconsciously went to help her. At that moment, Ke Xinyi quickly whispered, "take care of your mouth!"

This is a warning, but Zhang Yitian is a little warm in his heart. Although Ke Xinyi is a man of Xuanmen, he has worked under his own hands for so long, and he is still facing himself.

Zhang Yitian smiled and said, "well, the mountain road is slippery. Be careful!"

This section of more than 200 meters of mountain road, a group of people only walked for half an hour and reached the pass at the top.

Zhang Yitian looked back at the bottom. I don't know when the team at the bottom has disappeared, only the lush mountains on both sides of the valley.

This is indeed a good place. If you don't look carefully, it must be difficult to find such a place.

Before long, Ke Xinyi gently pushed Zhang Yitian and motioned him to keep up with the team.

The temperature at the top of the mountain is much lower than that below. Although this is not the top of the mountain in an absolute sense, it is just a pass, but the wind is still not small.

The bluestone path extending upward has become a tiled path here. It is often taken care of at a glance. The path here is spotless.

The vegetation on both sides of the path is also very lush, green and Ru Yin. Zhang Yitian walked in it and felt more or less relaxed and happy.

After walking for a few minutes, the light in front was much stronger. Then Zhang Yitian saw some other eyes from the gap between the thick and thin leaves.

It's blue. The closer you get, Zhang Yitian can see that this is the roof of a building.

Walking out of the path covered by trees, Zhang Yitian suddenly saw the light in front of him.

After the path seemed to reach the end, it turned 90 degrees directly, and there was a white stone pillar fence here. The role of the fence was mostly to prevent someone from falling! Zhang Yitian looked at the deep valley outside the fence, which is estimated to be tens of meters high, and thought.

The cyan roof of the building he just saw is at the end of the path. It's a surprisingly high building. Of course, it's relative. If it's placed in the steel jungle of a big city, the building's height of tens of meters is obviously nothing.

However, it is a desolate and uninhabited field for decades. The difficulty and problems of building this kind of building here are more than dozens of times sharper than those in the city.

Therefore, for the high-rise building with white green roof in front of him, what first came to Zhang Yitian's mind was not only shock but also shock!

He also suddenly remembered what Ke Xinyi said just now. This is a small basin shaped terrain, so the headquarters of the Xuanmen should be below here.

As for this high-rise building, it should be the gate to the bottom of the valley.

There are a lot of vegetation below. Although Zhang Yitian can't see the situation inside from those tall tree crowns, he also sighs from his heart that the people in the Xuanmen really know how to enjoy. It's really beyond the imagination of ordinary people to build such a Taoist temple in such a place.

Xuanzi and his entourage have approached a gatehouse at the top of the building along the stone path. The entrance of the gatehouse is large, and the decorative style is also the appearance of Yishui's classical Chinese architecture.

Zhang Yitian followed him in. The space inside was not small, but everyone didn't mean to stay. Obviously, it's not even a top position here.

Through a corridor, the building comes out of the back, and outside is a downward staircase built along the rock wall.

There was plenty of light outside. At first, Zhang Yitian was still worried about whether it would be dark at the bottom of the valley. Now, he really thought more.

Everyone was silent. After walking for about ten minutes, the road finally came to an end.

However, Zhang Yitian was surprised that the rock walls here were vertical, which felt as if this group of people lived in a natural bucket.

Zhang Yitian finally couldn't help it. After asking Ke Xinyi, he got an amazing answer: "this is a crater!"

I want to go home

Zhang Yitian's expression was a little stiff and he didn't go away. He was afraid that he would make a big move and provoke a volcanic eruption. What a blast of magma to the sky!

"Don't worry, this is just a periodic active volcano. It is said that the last eruption was more than 3000 years, and it will take some time to erupt again!" Ke Xinyi comforted Zhang Yitian in a less comforting tone.

That's good, that's good... Zhang Yitian shook his head and followed up.

The area of Huoshankou is not small, and there are more than ten buildings at the bottom of the valley. In addition to seven or eight small buildings, there are three tall buildings in the middle of the bottom of the valley.

Three buildings enclose a square of more than 200 square meters.

There are two-story buildings on both sides. You can see that this is the residence of some big people in Xuanmen. The center of the two buildings is a single storey building. The door of the building is open. Zhang Yitian can see a person sitting with his back to the door from a distance.

More than 20 people who returned separated in the square. The people carrying things left the square. Xuanzi and several others stayed, and Zhang Yitian was also in the pile.

Several people were silent. Xuanzi slowly approached the main room in the center, but didn't go in. As soon as he arrived at the door, he whispered greetings: "we're back. Feng Chen is dead. It was the people of the Rudy south family who did it. We also brought this person back."

Xuanzi's tone was respectful, which surprised Zhang Yitian, because according to his previous words from xuanzi and several others, it was not difficult to think that this xuanzi should be the leader of this group, but now how can he be respectful to another person?

Is there a more powerful power in this Xuanmen?

No, xuanzi said before that he, Tong Chou and Dongfang B are the three strongest people in Xuanmen. What's the identity of this person?

After thinking about it, Zhang Yitian was still confused. At this time, everyone lowered their heads and remained silent. Naturally, Zhang Yitian could not ask more.

It's better to look at it quietly at this time. I'll know the identity of this person in a moment.

"Well, I see!" the man sitting on his back suddenly said, "the next Feng Chen, go and discuss with the Feng family. In addition, let him in!"

Xuanzi nodded again and again. Finally, he stepped back and went to Zhang Yitian. He made a please gesture in the direction of the main room and said, "Mr. Zhang, please come in!"

Zhang Yitian nodded. This is not the time to feel surprised. Take one step and see one step!
