Chapter 135 This is... Bodyguard
Chapter 135 This is... Bodyguard
While they were chatting, they soon arrived at the quarry. A man who looked like a foreman saw them and took the initiative to greet them.
\"Hey, are these two the masters you mentioned?\"
Old Dai looked at Jiang Xun and the other person behind Ying and asked. His confusion could be heard from his tone.
\"Of course, Zhongli is the most knowledgeable person I have ever met. There is nothing in the world that he doesn't know! \"
Paimon said this with a proud look on his face, and those who didn't know would think that this knowledgeable man was talking about her.
\"So this is the famous Mr. Zhongli?! I've heard a lot about you.\" Upon hearing the identity of the visitor, foreman Lao Dai hurriedly flattered him.
Zhongli's identity is still well-known in Liyue Harbor. Even if we don't count his reputation for being knowledgeable, his identity as a guest of the Hall of Rebirth is enough to make people look up to him.
After all, to be a guest official in such a place, it is really hard to accept if you don’t have some outstanding qualities. In the words of the people, it’s four words.
The horoscope is tough enough!
\"It's just an empty reputation, not worth mentioning.\"
Zhongli answered modestly, his voice calm, obviously having encountered this situation many times.
\"Come, let me introduce you, this is Kunjun, he is...\"
Then Old Dai began to introduce Kunjun, and his tone showed his optimism for this young man named Kunjun.
.....
\"Um, who is this guy?\"
Old Dai suddenly noticed that there was a young man with the same handsome appearance standing next to Zhong Li, and began to guess Jiang Xun's identity.
\"He.....He is the bodyguard we hired...."
Paimeng wanted to explain, but halfway through he realized that he had no idea whether Jiang Xun knew anything about stones, so he simply said that he was a bodyguard.
\"Hiss, you guys are really thoughtful. This investigation may really be dangerous.\"
Old Dai thought about it and found that he had indeed overlooked this aspect.
After all, the person behind the scenes could kidnap several strong workers quietly, and if we are not careful, we might really be in danger.
"However, can this guy show us his skills? I have to be responsible for the safety of my brothers."
Old Dai's tone turned serious.
Jiang Xun glanced at him, then took out an Eye of the Rock Elemental God from behind him. The elemental power inside sparkled brightly under the sunlight, brighter than ordinary gems.
\"Then I will rely on the care of this little... this brother. I will definitely reward you handsomely later! \"
Old Dai bowed to Jiang Xun with a smile on his face. One has to say that it is not easy for this man to be a foreman, and he really has his own way of dealing with people and things.
Jiang Xun saw that his identity as a bodyguard had been confirmed and had no intention of making any excuses. He just nodded, acknowledging the identity.
During the investigation, Jiang Xun, as a bodyguard, naturally stood aside and slacked off. As for Paimeng, do you expect her to solve the case?
\"Jiang Xun, it turns out you have the Eye of God. Do immortals also need the Eye of God?\"
\"You mean this thing?\"
As he spoke, Jiang Xun raised the Eye of God and waved it in front of Paimon. The light of the rock element was still bright.
\"It's just a glass ball. I'll give it to you if you want it.\"
Jiang Xun explained casually, without any guilt for forging the Eye of God. After all, the real wholesaler was right next to him. Would it be considered forgery if he forged it in front of him?
He has as many of these artificial gadgets as he wants. Don't ask, because they are the inventory that he didn't have time to sell before.
\"Everyone, I found a clue!\"
Kunjun shouted at this time to attract everyone's attention, and then he showed everyone his special ability - peeping... checking the memory of the stone.
Although he received confused expressions from everyone, what was even more shocking was that Zhongli actually agreed with the other party's statement and publicly stated that stones also have memories.
Shocked Old Dai for a hundred years.
However, no matter how confused he was about what the two experts said, he just listened silently and did not express any doubts.
Fortunately, these two people did not lie. This world is also a world where elemental force exists. This seemingly absurd thing actually exists.
Then, they followed the stone's memory and finally found the bodies of several missing workers in a place similar to a canyon.
\"Look, there they are!\"
Paimon, who could fly, saw several workers lying on the ground at a glance. He went over to check and finally found that they were just fainted from exhaustion.
Lao Dai said at this time that there were still a few workers who had not been found. After some consideration, Zhongli asked Lao Dai and his companions to take these unconscious workers back first and leave the rest to them.
Continue walking forward and you will see a unique tree. It has a huge trunk and its branches are dyed with crystal color. From a distance, it looks like a huge crystal tree.
Zhongli stopped in front of the big tree, his eyes became a little dazed, as if he was lost in memories.
\"There's a hole here!\"
Paimon's voice brought Zhongli back from his memories, and he already had an answer in his mind as to what might happen next.
Jiang Xun walked towards the cave entrance silently. Ever since he saw the huge crystal tree, he understood the reason why all this happened.
Thinking of this, his eyes glanced at Kunjun imperceptibly. He didn't know when he stopped talking and he suddenly seemed like a different person.
Jiang Xun could feel a heavy aura from him. Although it was slight, the feeling was not wrong.
Unlike Zhongli who was burdened with the weight of time, this person was more like the heaviness of mountains, as if the person standing in front of him was not a person, but a towering mountain.
\"What have you two discovered?\"
\"That's right. The last time Ying and I came here to look for a treasure chest, there was nothing here. But now there's suddenly a tunnel. There must be something wrong!\"
\"As expected of Paimon, he remembers the treasure chests and food so clearly!\"
Jiang Xun praised, but these words seemed to have a different meaning when they reached Paimeng's ears.
\"Hey, what do you mean, are you trying to say that Paimon only thinks about eating and playing?\"
Unexpectedly, Jiang Xun did not continue to reply, but just gave her a smile and let her guess it herself.
The group ignored the bickering between the two and walked straight towards the cave entrance.
The moment they stepped into the cave, a chilly feeling instantly covered their bodies, but Jiang Xun and the other two simply ignored the low temperature.
Only Ying and Paimeng shuddered subconsciously.
I kept walking forward and suddenly heard the sound of shovels being swung coming from the front.
Judging from the situation, there are still quite a few people.
\"It seems that the remaining workers are here, huh? And the culprit has been found.\"
Jiang Xun's voice continued to echo in the narrow cave, and naturally reached the ears of the petite figure in front.
She turned around abruptly, a ferocious expression appeared on her face. The only light shining on her face added a sense of horror out of nowhere.
