Is their village actually like this? Master seemed to understand very well. It turned out that Master had been pretending to be stupid. I let out a long sigh. I felt that as long as Master knew something about things, everything would be much simpler. But I didn’t understand that since Master knew so much, Why set up a dry tobacco bureau against this old man
Compared with Master's sometimes "cunning" attitude, I feel like I am just an honest kid.
But this time, the master did not whet my appetite. After walking towards the old man for a few steps, he looked at the old man seriously and continued: "Your village actually does such dangerous things. The great witch summons various spiritual creatures or It is normal to cultivate gods and even spiritual creatures. But your village dares to risk the disapproval of the world and summon the remnant souls of ferocious beasts... This is poverty..."
Before the master could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the old man. He took back his hand that was placed on the stone carving and wiped it on his body casually, leaving a trail of blood marks on his hand. The hole hurt me just looking at it, but he didn't seem to care. He just said: "What ferocious beast? This is the twelve divine beasts that swallow evil spirits and are omnipotent... Besides, how much do you know about the situation in our village?" I need you to comment...our village...our village! No, how do you know our village?"
But during their conversation, I noticed that there was also a bright red blood craft left on the stone carvings, but it was strangely infiltrated into the stone carvings and disappeared... It made me feel an indescribable chill in my heart. At this moment, Shahu suddenly fell into a deep sleep again, but I received a relatively clear thought - things are going well!
This thought... My face turned weird. I'm sure it didn't come from Daotongzi, but from Silly Tiger... When did it become so 'ghostly'? Even one sentence expresses endless helplessness and bitterness, and I feel endless emotion, and there is nothing I can do about it.
The veins on my forehead were throbbing, because I had always regarded Shahu as my 'brother', and he actually 'taught' me... I began to miss the dull guy who couldn't even express simple emotions clearly. Silly tiger.
Although I said this, I was really moved in my heart, because I felt that Silly Tiger seemed to have "awakened" and became as agile as a young fox... And in this kind of awakening, facing such a dangerous situation , although it was afraid, it chose to stand side by side with me without hesitation. What does it mean
However, Silly Tiger fell into a deep sleep and could not sense these thoughts of mine. However, the conversation between the master and the old man made me very curious. In fact, I knew what the master had not finished saying just now. It should be what he wanted to say. Yes, this is Qiongqi!
Qiongqi, a monster recorded in "The Classic of Mountains and Seas", one of the four ferocious beasts, was also named a god... In addition, there are some vague records in ancient books, and the opinions about Qiongqi are different anyway. .
Regarding the records in ancient books, when I was the most curious as a teenager, I asked my master and discussed whether these really existed... But my master told me with a deep look: "In fact, we in China have experienced many hardships, and our culture has also changed." There is a gap... Many very precious documents, even I, the Taoist, have not preserved. I can only tell you that what is recorded in ancient books is not entirely true. This imperfection contains the meaning of imaginary supplements and personal thoughts. , it means to spread rumors and blur the meaning, you can refer to it, but don’t believe it. Moreover, not only China, but also human beings have a cultural gap. That is to say, there is a process of rapid advancement in human evolution, and modern humans have appeared... . What about the hundreds of thousands of years in between? It’s just speculation... Then what do you think... "
The master paused for a moment before speaking in a vague tone that he was not sure about: "Do you want to understand the war recorded in "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" as the human beings at that time really fought against monsters? What about a big battle?"
This passage is not like Master's usual tone, telling me something with a certain certainty, or guiding me to make my own judgment. Instead, it is full of various guesses, uncertainties, and even elements of imagination, but it is in my mind. A passage that left a deep impression on me when I was a child.
Nowadays, more and more things are happening in front of me, and a strange thing has stopped me from exclaiming in shock.
What else is there to be shocked about? Kunlun, Penglai, Tangshe, if Qiongqi appears again... at most it will numb my nerves... Moreover, Qiongqi is not like Tangshen, who appears like an entity, but is obviously a spirit body... If it were a spirit body, it wouldn't be strange. Even if Hadron had summoned a two-faced god before, I didn't think about their origins, I simply saw them as energy bodies, and I felt calm inside.
But when the master faced the old man's nervous questioning, he became more relaxed. He did not answer the old man's question directly, but said: "Then when you put it like that, I think your village has gone astray. Road. As you said, I don’t understand what’s going on in your village, and I certainly don’t care. I’m just worried about my nephew. I’m going to find him, and I’m going to take him away this time.”
"Your nephew? Who is it?" When the old man heard what my master said, he didn't get angry, but the confusion on his face became more serious. It was clear that he was waiting for an answer from my master, or he was really afraid of the flood. Something like this happened in the Dragon King Temple.
"Sun Qiang." My master answered simply.
But the old man frowned, and his face suddenly darkened, and he said: "There is no such person in this mountain... You can't just make up a name to deceive me? You go, look at a bag of tobacco leaves I will not make things difficult for you when it comes to your friendship. Otherwise, just because you talk nonsense and seem to know about the village, I should put you... "
The old man's words were already very rude, and his face was torn instantly, but the meaning behind his words was that he didn't make things difficult for us because of a bag of dry tobacco leaves.
How could Master and I leave like this? Besides, he said there was no Sun Qiang in the village, so why weren't we worried? I once said that Qiangzi is my brother, and from a certain perspective, it is correct that Sun Qiang is my master's nephew. He said so, and we have to go up the mountain to see it.
Originally, when he said these words, he was on the verge of breaking up completely and even taking action... But he didn't expect that at the end of the old man's words, he was interrupted by the noisy noise coming from the town.
The so-called noisy noise was just the sound of cars driving into the town, coupled with the noisy voices of people. Originally, there was nothing surprising... But this was not the sound of a car, but the sound of a convoy.
As for the human voice, it was originally there, but at this time, the human voice was like a drop of water splashing into hot oil, suddenly making a bursting sound, which was harsh and chaotic.
This movement not only made the old man's face look ugly, but also my master and I were attracted to it. After all, although this is the foot of the mountain, the terrain here stretches upwards. From this position, we can obviously see the situation in the town.
So when we turned around and looked, we saw about a dozen cars driving into the town. Except for the leading car, the rest of these cars were tent trucks specially designed to pull people, just like the cars used to transport new soldiers.
Such a small town, not even a place that can be called a big village because of the relatively concentrated residence, suddenly seemed crowded when such a large vehicle drove in.
But the people in the car were not soldiers, but people wearing black shirts, black pants, and masks, and they rushed into the town like that.
I couldn't hear clearly what was being discussed in the town, but the crowds were crowded, and there were many people coming from the house one after another. The aura of everyone feeling like they were facing a formidable enemy made me instinctively feel that these people were interested in the people in these cars. It must not be unfamiliar.
I suddenly remembered what the concierge said, why is this town so popular? Foreigners often come to check it out? Could it be... I looked carefully and my expression changed. I was naturally unfamiliar with the people wearing masks, and I didn't recognize the people on the modified tent SUV either.
But that car is so familiar to me, because I once saw a similar car...a car that was also modified in this way, and that time was not long ago, when my master and I were hiding on the hillside, and at that time The people in the car were Yang Sheng, and the dignified Holy King...
How twists and turns will this escape be? Even if it's a coincidence, I can still feel the lingering feeling... I don't think the car has been modified to have the same shape, it's just a 'popular' modification. I can't say there is no connection. Convince yourself.
The master obviously discovered this problem, and his face became heavy, but he muttered something strange: "There is always the darkest time before dawn, and when the great era comes, there are always many... Turbulence brings about such an era.”
He spoke in a low voice that only I could hear. Before I could say anything, I heard the old man curse through gritted teeth: "These hateful robbers, how much trouble are they going to cause?"
From the old man's words, I can clearly feel that, consistent with my judgment, it is obviously not the first time that the people in this town have come into contact with the people in these cars... He must also know something? Why call these people robbers? If my judgment is correct, these people belong to Yang Sheng's organization. Even if they have taken an evil path, they are not related to bandits.
Master and I fell into an even worse situation... .
