I had already ascended to heaven when the spiritual energy began to recover?

It really is a secret realm.

Jiang Xuelan did not lie to him.

Bai Sheng's clone kept pacing around outside, but found nothing.

I've decided to go in and take a look first.

Looking at the endless long queue at the entrance of the district.

Bai Sheng suddenly realized that he had a real problem facing him.

No phone was provided for the clone.

You definitely can't pay with your phone.

After all, what if something happens and they get investigated?

This phone is the biggest piece of evidence that has been exposed.

It's too obvious, you definitely can't bring it.

I didn't bring any cash either, because I was afraid of being caught.

Bai Sheng sighed inwardly.

There's really nothing I can do.

For modern people, going out without a mobile phone is like going out without a wallet!

I can't even buy a bottle of water.

Bai Sheng thought about it for a moment and realized that the ticket price wasn't too expensive.

Maybe I can borrow the money for the tickets?

The clone stood by the pool, surveying its surroundings.

I'm looking for someone to lend me money.

There's a row of food stalls right next to it.

The aroma of grilled sausages wafted over on the breeze.

Several tourists were using their phones to scan a QR code to pay.

Ding ding dong,

The sounds of people arriving at the tent rose and fell.

Ugh,

It must be difficult to borrow money from them.

Not only did he not have any cash on him.

Most people don't carry cash!

Especially for those who are traveling,

Who carries around several bills of cash all the time? That would be incredibly abnormal.

The clone patted its empty pockets, remained silent for a moment,

Continue searching for your prey.

Who should I borrow money from?

He quickly noticed that area.

A young mother with a child took out a pack of wet wipes from her backpack to wipe the child's hands.

The backpack zipper was still open, revealing a coin purse inside.

"Truly an extraordinary person!"

Bai Sheng sent his clone over.

He bent down slightly, revealing a polite but somewhat embarrassed smile:

"Excuse me, I left my phone in the car."

Could I borrow some cash to buy a bottle of water?

I'll transfer it to you via mobile later.

The young mother looked up at her, probably convinced by the beautifully sculpted face.

He deftly pulled a twenty-yuan bill from his coin purse and handed it to her: "Here you go."

"Thank you so much, thank you so much."

The clone took the money, thanked the seller, and walked towards the ticket window.

Nowadays, even buying tickets at scenic spots basically relies on scanning QR codes.

She was the only young face handing over cash.

The ticket seller took the crumpled twenty yuan.

I tore off a ticket for her.

Bai Sheng took the ticket and turned to join the long ticket check line.

Looking around,

It was truly a sea of ​​people.

Today is the weekend.

These small scenic spots around the city are very popular on weekends.

The words above their heads varied, but most of them were "ordinary people".

The security guard at the entrance was idly scrolling through his phone.

As his clone passed by, Bai Sheng habitually glanced at the top of his head.

[Disciple on Duty]

Wow, that's a rare sight indeed.

I have no choice but to have a talk with him.

Bai Shengrang's clone stopped and walked to the security guard's side.

He showed a curious expression:

"Master, is this place crowded?"

security guard:"……"

Bai Sheng was, of course, aware that he was engaging in completely awkward small talk.

If you don't engage in awkward small talk, what else can you talk about?

Especially since he had just discovered the existence of this guardian disciple,

In addition, I couldn't help but feel a little excited.

So for a moment, I couldn't think of a good way to start a conversation.

Bao An was engrossed in scrolling through his phone when he was asked this question, and he was completely taken aback.

Looking at the other person's young and beautiful face, the security guard was even a little at a loss.

"hold head high……"

Seeing that the security guard didn't say anything, Bai Sheng darted out from the line.

I didn't want to keep the people behind me from queuing to get in.

The awkward conversation continued:

"When I came here, I saw online that it was crowded, but it seems okay."

The security guard's mind went blank for a moment, but he quickly came to his senses.

He casually stuffed his phone into his pocket.

He was probably bored after standing there all morning, so when someone started talking to him, he just went along with it.

The two started making awkward small talk.

Bai Sheng chatted with him for a bit about the number of tourists at the scenic spot.

He then praised the scenery a few more times.

The security guard gradually opened up and started talking.

We started by discussing the development of the scenic area and continued talking about its specific details.

"The scenery on the back mountain is actually better, but the road is difficult to walk, so people are usually not allowed to go there."

Bai Shengrang's clone continued, "Is there anything particularly worth seeing around here? It's my first time here, and I'm afraid I'll miss something good."

The security guard waved his hand: "It's just that stone wall and the pool, nothing else."

However, if you have time, you can take a stroll in the woods east of the pond; there's a path there.

It used to be an old mountain trail, but it's no longer used now that the scenic area has been developed.

There are a few old ginkgo trees over there that are quite pretty; they make for decent photos.

By the end, Bai Sheng had completely lost the desire to continue the conversation.

I discovered that this security guard was actually quite talkative...

He probably had never seen such a down-to-earth and pretty girl take the initiative to talk to him.

Bai Sheng was about to leave.

The security guard gestured towards the stone wall with his chin, "There's a small hole on the back of the stone wall. You used to be able to crawl in there, but it was sealed off later for fear of accidents."

"You tourists shouldn't go that way; there are security cameras."

The clone smiled and thanked him, then turned and walked into the scenic area.

Bai Sheng was about to send his clone to the east side of the pool when suddenly a few lines of small black characters appeared before his eyes.

You chatted with the disciples on patrol and gleaned some information about this secret realm from their scattered words.

Although the other party themselves didn't understand the significance of this information, you gradually pieced together the general outline of the secret realm from the subtle clues.

The disciples on patrol mentioned the old path on the back mountain, the ancient ginkgo tree on the east side of the pool, and the sealed cave entrance on the back of the stone wall...

These locations, under your perception, begin to reveal faint fluctuations of spiritual energy, echoing each other and forming an incomplete map of the entrance to the secret realm.

You have gained a preliminary understanding of the Heavenly River Secret Realm, and your mind automatically marks three places that may hold opportunities: the cave entrance blocked behind the stone wall, the mountain hollow where the ancient ginkgo tree is located on the east side of the pool, and a rock wall crack covered by shrubs at the end of the old road in the back mountain.

There were extremely subtle leaks of spiritual energy at all three locations. The fluctuations were most stable from the direction of the ancient ginkgo tree, strongest from the direction of the sealed cave entrance, and barely perceptible from the direction of the crack in the back mountain.

Bai Sheng leaned back on his sofa, memorizing this information.

Then, have the clone continue walking along the main road of the scenic area.

First, take your time to scout each location one by one, confirming the specific environment and security situation at each marked location.

Today's main task is still reconnaissance and investigation; we must not rashly alert the enemy.

The clone strolled leisurely along the main road of the scenic area.

We have thoroughly understood the external environment of the three marked points.

The hole behind the stone wall was sealed with cement.

There's also a surveillance camera hanging nearby; getting close during the day is too risky!

Another one to be ruled out is...

The thicket at the end of the old path on the back mountain is too dense; it's impossible to get through without tools.

Moreover, the fluctuations are so subtle that going now could very well result in nothing.

Only the ancient ginkgo grove to the east...

Not far from the main road, with few tourists, the area has the most stable spiritual energy fluctuations.

It's afternoon now, and most tourists are taking pictures by the rock face and the pool; it's quiet and less crowded.

The best time is now!
