"It's not the right time yet," Yang Guanfeng said. "I can feel it. Although there is no change on the surface this time, the security measures are much tighter than the last time. There are also a lot more spies." After all, he had been in this line of work for more than ten years, so he had a lot of experience in this area. He didn't know if there were people tailing him or if those people were hidden sentries.
"Well, that Miao Qingfeng follows us all day. He knows how to follow us. With him following us, what useful things do we want to find out?" Lu Xiufeng lay on the bed and lit a cigarette.
"Hey, let's talk about Secretary Guo."
"Why are you suddenly interested in him?" Yang Guanfeng asked.
"Hey, who wouldn't be interested in such a young cadre? Maybe one day he will become my boss."
"Him?"
"Hey, you don't look down on him, do you?"
"How would I dare?" Yang Guanfeng asked.
"His family's power is an important reason why he can reach this position at such a young age," Lu Xiufeng said. "His own ability is also indispensable for his advancement. In other words, it is the most important thing, especially when his position is getting higher and higher."
"I have met Secretary Guo twice. He is indeed young and mature, or he is too scheming!" Yang Guanfeng thought about it and used such an evaluation.
"Too scheming?"
"Yes, very scheming."
What kind of people were they? They were police officers. They had encountered all kinds of cases and seen all kinds of criminals. They had also developed an unusually sharp judgment ability. What kind of person's personality was, whether there was a potential threat or not, they could almost tell at a glance.
"Tell me the truth, why are you suddenly asking this?"
"Nothing, just pure curiosity," Lu Xiufeng said.
"Forget it. If you don't want to tell me, I won't ask."
The two of them spoke softly for a while, mainly to communicate about matters related to the case. They then fell asleep one after another.
There was a sudden crisp sound in the middle of the night.
"What's that sound?"
The two of them sat up from the bed almost at the same time. They touched the pistols at their waists.
After a while …
The room was pitch-black, and there was nothing out of the ordinary. It was pitch-black outside as well.
"No one."
"Wait."
Yang Guanfeng didn't turn on the light. Instead, he groped around on the ground in the dark. Then, he found a small iron ball. It was the size of a glass bead and was very inconspicuous.
"The news is here."
Using the light from the phone, they found a note inside the small metal ball. There was only one sentence inside.
"The Miaoxi River wants to live forever!"
"F * ck!" Lu Xiufeng cursed after seeing this sentence.
Don't underestimate this simple sentence. In fact, the amount of information in it was very large.
Of course, most people just thought about it, dreamed about it, and fantasized about it. However, some people put it into action, such as the emperors, the Qin emperors, the Egyptian pharaohs, and so on. However, those were ancient times. In fact, after entering the modern era, people basically stopped thinking about it. Of course, there were also some secret organizations that had been engaged in research in this area, but it was rarely publicized.
Now, they suddenly received such a piece of news in this remote mountain village. What did this mean?
It was understandable that the Miaoxi River wanted to live forever. However, it was definitely not as simple as the literal meaning. He wanted to live forever. Not only did he have this idea, but he had put it into action! Then, the question came. How did he do it? How did he put it into action?
The First Emperor of Qin had sent people to find the elixir of immortality, which had been passed down since ancient times. Some emperors also invited some Taoist priests from outside to refine the elixir. Those who cultivated did it through cultivation and taking elixirs. So far, these were the main methods they knew. There were two kinds. One was their own cultivation, and the other was with the help of external objects, which was the elixir. What kind of method would Miao Xihe use? Combined with what they knew, the Valley of Thousands of Medicine was a lineage passed down from the King Pharmacist. Furthermore, they did have considerable research in the field of medicine. Hundreds of years of lineage was not something that could be casually mentioned. It was most likely done through medicine. Then, the problem was that since it was a drug, it had to be tested. Few drugs were successful in one go. They had to go through many tests, such as animal tests and clinical trials. How would they test it?
The two of them looked at each other. Obviously, they had both thought of this.
"This Chief Miao is really ambitious!" Lu Xiufeng exclaimed.
"What power? What wealth? They're nothing compared to immortality!"
"We can't believe all of this," Yang Guanfeng whispered.
"Hmm?"
"We can't rule out the possibility that those in this mountain village who are dissatisfied with him want to use this opportunity to frame him."
"Well, but there are many ways to frame someone," Lu Xiufeng said. "This is the first time I've heard of such a special way. Hey, I remember you saying that there was a rumor in this mountain village that there was an old man over 200 years old?"
His eyes were very bright. He did not look drunk at all.
"Yes, that was a rumor."
"The rumor may not be true, but it may not be false either. We might as well make a bold assumption. The Valley of Thousands of Medicine, which has been passed down for hundreds of years, has inherited the lineage of the King of Medicine. In the beginning, they studied medicine and considered how to cure diseases and save people. Gradually, they developed to strengthen the human body and focused on prevention. Then, they inadvertently discovered that some things could prolong a person's life if taken over a long period of time. So, they began to study in this area, and it was passed down from generation to generation. For hundreds of years, there was a little progress every year. Such accumulation is very impressive and amazing. The old man who lived over 200 years old may be a successful test case of the results of this research. Chief Miao wants to go further. "
"After all, immortality is a great temptation for anyone!"
"Well, this speculation makes sense, but it is very difficult to prove it," Yang Guanfeng said.
They were there to investigate the continuous deaths hundreds of miles away. They were not there to investigate immortality. Even if such a thing really existed, it must be the highest-level secret in the Valley of Thousands of Medicine. Only a few people knew about it.
"Well, let me think about it."
"Don't mess around," Yang Guanfeng said. "These words can't be said carelessly."
"Don't worry, I know what to do," Lu Xiufeng said.
The sky was bright.
The air in the Valley of Thousands of Medicine was particularly fresh. It felt particularly smooth to breathe.
"In such an environment, there is no pollution at all," Lu Xiufeng said. "People work at sunrise and rest at sunset. The pace of life is slow, and there is no pressure to survive. People will definitely be healthy and live a long life."
People who were sick were physically weak. Nowadays, all kinds of diseases were frequent. Some diseases were showing a trend of younger people because of pollution and people's fast pace of life. The pressure was too great.
"Where are we going today?" the Miao Qingfeng asked.
"Well, the weather is good today," Lu Xiufeng said. "Well, is there anything to pay attention to at Soothing Gods Lake?"
"What do you mean, Captain Lu?" The Miao Qingfeng was stunned.
"Well, you should be able to fish, right?"
"Fishing? Of course, you can." The Miao Qingfeng smiled and said, "I'll arrange for someone to prepare it right away."
"Thank you."
"Fishing? Only you can think of something like that!"
"I think we've been to a lot of places in the past two days," Lu Xiufeng said. "I thought about it all last night. I want to straighten out the current information before moving on to the next step. What do you think?"
"Sure," Yang Guanfeng said.
The three of them went to the lake. They looked at the beautiful lake, basked in the sun, and fished.
Ah! Lu Xiufeng yawned.
"What a pleasure!"
"Ha-ha, if Captain Lu likes it, you can come here often in the future," the Miao Qingfeng said.
"That can't be done. It's against the rules." Lu Xiufeng took out a cigarette box.
"Well, is it okay to smoke here?"
"It's fine."
"Can I ask why this is called Soothing Gods Lake?"
"Well, according to the older generation, this lake can let the people in this stockade rest in peace."
