"Okay, let's play together." Masha and the league secretary walked towards the world in the car where the game console was stored.
**
The next day, they both had black eyes.
Chihiro: "Is the new Fire Emblem game fun?"
"It's fun, but the process is too damn long. We worked hard all night and still haven't finished the first chapter." Masha said with a yawn.
At this time, Chen Zhongwu pushed the door and entered the maid shop. He looked at Masha and her group who had gathered in the store, and then stared at Masha's panda eyes for a few seconds.
"Are you okay? Is your waist okay?"
I don’t know why, but Chen Zhongwu thought directly in that direction.
"I'm just playing a game. Okay, let's go."
Masha stood up.
Chen Zhongwu turned around, opened the door, and made a "please come in" gesture.
Masha went out, but found that the coffee shop opposite was closed.
"Strange, did something happen to the coffee shop owner?" Masha pointed at the coffee shop and asked Chen Zhongwu.
"Someone offered tens of millions to buy his shop, and he sold it." Chen Zhongwu shrugged. "You can ask that guy named Fu Paotui for details. Last night, he reached a verbal transaction intention, and the total amount may be several hundred million. This whole street... In fact, half of the houses in the entire village have been sold, and the remaining half are waiting for a price."
"So strong?" Masha blinked, "Then I opened a school, can I sell this maid shop for several hundred million?"
"No, your store will be taken over by our office." Chen Zhongwu patted Masha on the shoulder, "We need to investigate whether you have any little secrets."
"Is it really okay to tell me directly like this?" Masha said, "What if I get angry? After all, no one likes their secrets to be discovered, right?"
"You won't. I know you well enough to know that you won't care about such little things. And you will definitely hide all your little secrets before you leave."
--really.
"Let's go, the helicopter is waiting for you at the University City Sports Center."
"Okay, thank you for your help." Masha turned around and gestured to the girls, "Let's open the way."

Chapter 600: Searching for a Blessed Land
Masha got on the helicopter, originally thinking that someone would come to explain the situation or something, but as soon as they got on the helicopter, the plane took off directly, without even giving Masha and the others time to put on the headsets for in-flight calls.
The noise from the helicopter is very loud. If you don’t wear headphones and use the intercom, no one can hear what others are saying on the plane.
By the time Masha and the others put on their headphones, the plane was already halfway in the air.
Masha complained to the pilot through the intercom: "You took off so fast, what if something goes wrong?"
"Huh? You all have super powers, so you can all fly, right?" The pilot asked inexplicably, "Don't you just want to save some energy when you take a plane?"
——Damn, it’s hard to refute when someone says that.
"I only learned about super powers after the announcement of the revival of spiritual energy." The pilot continued, "Don't be angry if I'm wrong. Next time I come to pick up someone with super powers, remember to wait until the guest is seated firmly and fastened his seat belt before taking off."
Masha shrugged and changed the subject: "Where are we going?"
"We're going to Guiliu, which is next to Yuezhou Province. The coordinates we were given are a remote place. What are you doing there?"
It seems that the nearest paradise is in Guiliu.
Guilin and Liuzhou have the best landscapes in the world, so it is normal for spiritual people to gather there.
And there are a lot of karst landforms there. Maybe this landform is also related to spiritual energy?
Masha looked out at the city outside the cabin, which was receding into the distance.
When Masha was a child, he liked to lie on the window and look out when riding on the train. Even though he was sitting in a sleeper car, he would secretly get up at night and sit on the chair in the aisle to look at the dark fields outside.
Masha has always liked the mood of rail travel, liked the constant clanging sounds under his feet, liked the carriage floor shaking with the sound, and liked the beautiful mountains and rivers seen through the window.
The high-speed rail no longer makes the clanging sound and shakes anymore, which Masha actually thinks is a pity.
But the scenery passing by the car window is still so beautiful.
Now, looking at the scenery outside the cabin, Masha recalled the feeling of riding a train when he was a child.
"Master," he subconsciously used the way he called a taxi driver, "Don't fly too high, I want to see the scenery."
"Okay. But this is the first time I've been called a master. I feel like a taxi driver."
The co-pilot then spoke up: "Why don't we just chat like a real taxi driver?"
"Forget it. You need to concentrate on flying the plane."
As the pilot spoke, Baiquan unbuckled his seatbelt, climbed on top of Masha, and leaned his face against the cabin window to look out: "What are you looking at?"
"Look at Mother Earth," Masha joked.
"You're crazy." Bai Quan said as he sat down on Masha's legs, and it seemed that he was determined to stick to Masha.
Chihiro, who was sitting next to Masa, patted her knees and said, "Come, Baiquan, sit here with me. Sister will hold you."
"I don't want it." Bai Quan refused directly, "Sitting on your knees will not help improve my status in any way."
——Does this little guy regard sitting on my knees as part of his political strategy?
Xiao Shi: "Baiquan?"
Baiquan: "Even if it's Xiaoshi, you can't let me give up this throne. I know you want to drive me away and sit on it yourself, right?"
"Eh? I didn't say that..."
League Secretary: "Why, are you guys going to start fighting over the knees?"
While the league secretary was complaining, Qianxun turned her attention to the others: "Come on, Guigui, come and sit on my knees."
Guigui hesitated for a moment, but still unbuckled his seat belt, ran to Qianxun's side, and sat on her lap.
Baiquan looked at Guigui and suddenly asked Masha: "Am I cute or is Guigui cute? You are not allowed to say both are cute."
"They are all cute." Masha still said, "This is the truth."
"cut."
"Anyone want to play online Mario Kart?" The league secretary took out his own game console.
Cai Shi: "I'm in! Oh, I brought some snacks, take whatever you want."
As Cai Shi spoke, she took out several bags of snacks and a box of UNO cards from her bag.
——Are you guys out for an outing?
Masha couldn't help but complain.
**
After flying for a while, the pilot's voice rang through Masha's noise-cancelling headphones through the intercom: "We're here. It's a deserted place... Hmm? I think I see some buildings."
Masha quickly moved his eyes away from the UNO cards in his hand and looked outside the cabin.
Just as Masha expected, the destination has a typical karst landform and the scenery is very magnificent. In the magnificent scenery, the eaves of the ancient temple can be vaguely seen among the green vegetation.
and a helicopter landing platform built on a tall metal tower.
——Isn’t this helicopter landing platform really an eyesore?
——Also, you have to be serious about it. Welding metal pipes into a tall tower and just standing it in a strange stone forest is crazy!
——At the bottom of this metal tower, there are colorful plastic woven bags. In the words of military fans, this is called excess combat power!
The helicopter pilot muttered, "Fuck, there's tower communication, tower, tower, where are you? Why can't I see the tower? What, you're telling me to just ignore it? Land directly on the helicopter landing platform? Got it."
Masha was so embarrassed when he heard this.
The league secretary smiled bitterly and said, "Maybe they just arranged for us to visit yesterday, so time is really tight."
The helicopter landed on the crude landing platform - Masha suspected that the construction of this platform had just started yesterday and was temporarily built in one day.
A ground crew member came up and opened the door of the helicopter, and the strong wind created by the helicopter rotors rushed in and tore Masha's face.
Girls with long hair suffered a lot. The key point was that the space in the cabin was small. When the wind blew, the long hair would hit other people's faces, which was quite painful.
Masha first threw Baiquan out of the plane - yes, he threw him out, but the little guy stood firmly on the ground.
Obviously, this level of test is no problem for Baiquan.
Then Masha unbuckled his seat belt, took off his helmet and got off the plane.
The greeter on the ground yelled to Masha, "This way please!"
He had already shouted at the top of his lungs, but Masha still didn't hear clearly what he said. He just looked at his gestures and guessed that it was probably "Please come this way."
So Masha walked towards the downward handrail stairs pointed out by the receptionist.
After descending the tower, Masha found himself inside an ancient temple. It looked like this temple was quite old, and the architectural style - well, Masha couldn't recognize what dynasty this architectural style was from.
This was beyond Masha's knowledge.
Masha looked back at her girls and confirmed that everyone had caught up. Then she said to the staff member who seemed to be the guide, "Take me to see the paradise."
"Would you like to go and see it directly? Why don't you listen to my introduction to the history of this temple?"
"Is there any more history you can introduce? When Buddhism was introduced to China, the Dharma Ending Age had been long gone, right?"
"The Dharma Ending Age?" the staff member asked in surprise.
It seems that this staff member doesn't know many secrets - Masha judged so.
"You don't need to tell me the history of the ancient temple, just take me to see the blessed land."
"Okay, this way please."
Next, the staff led Masha and his party through the ancient temple and entered a stone cave deep in the temple's courtyard.
There are man-made stairs in the cave, and next to the stairs there are plastic guardrails and lighting that were added in modern times.
Following the stairs, everyone went down deeper into the cave.
Stalactites are everywhere as far as the eye can see, and when light shines on them, the entire cave is bathed in a gorgeous array of colorful colors.
League Secretary: "I don't have a wide range of knowledge. Please ask Masha, the top student, to tell me, can stalactites have such magnificent colors? Look at that stalactite, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, seven colors. Is it really formed naturally? If I see this kind of stalactite when I am traveling, my first reaction will definitely be that the scenic spot painted the stone for beauty."
The staff said: "This is all natural. Before the news of the spiritual energy revival was announced, we were a geological research team stationed here, trying to figure out what's going on.
"After the spiritual energy was revived, we were told directly that this is a blessed land. The exploration data we previously collected for research is all precious spiritual energy research data...
"When I heard the news, I was stunned. My teacher, an old professor, couldn't accept the reality and went crazy. When he was picked up by the helicopter, he was still shouting, 'I am a scientist, not a charlatan, you lackeys of the church, let me go.'"
Masha and his group all smiled bitterly.
——There are people like this.
That old professor is also pitiful. He has been engaged in scientific research for most of his life, but suddenly he is told that this is not science but "theology"...
In fact, it is quite helpless. The wheel of time rolls forward, and those who cannot accept the changes of the times will be ruthlessly abandoned by the times.
After all, the times are known to be bloodless and tearless.
Finally, the staff led Masha to an underground river.
The scenery here is even more magnificent because of the reflection of the river water.
"It's right in front. There's something like an altar in front." The staff member said, "Once an archaeological team came and worked with us for a while, and then said that the altar didn't match any of the current archaeological discoveries and didn't belong to any known ancient civilization.
"They were just excited to continue working, but they were called back."
——Then they must be recalled. If we go on to investigate further, we might discover that China actually had a highly developed civilization 10,000 years ago.
——But that is the civilization of the gods, and I am afraid it will completely overturn the previous archaeological conclusions and drive a bunch of archaeologists crazy.
The staff member continued to explain while leading Masha and the others forward, and the altar he was talking about came into Masha's sight.
