imperial capital.
In an office, a senior official is listening to a report from his subordinates. This person is wise, profound, and very personable. He is the old man in black mirror who is in charge of the Huozhou incident.
"They really lost so badly?"
"Yes, all 20 special police officers were seriously injured. From the confrontation, to the exchange of fire, to the end, they only had time to fire one shot. In addition, we also found 27 dead bodies in a forest farm near Huangzhuang , on the spot, on the spot... ”
The subordinates were a little stuck, handed over a set of photos, and said, "You'd better take a look for yourself."
The old man curiously took the photos, even though he had been through the rivers and lakes for a long time, he couldn't help being moved: either it was a piece of scorched earth, covered with black charcoal; or it was full of bloody, torn pieces of meat; It looked like it was split alive with a knife.
And the slightly complete corpse is even more terrifying. The body shape, hair, and limbs are obviously the characteristics of beasts, but the faces are clearly visible human faces!
There are men and women, old and young, all of them are so painful and hideous.
"What is the origin of the beast spirit witchcraft taught by the shaman outside the pass?"
The old man was already angry when he took the photo on the table.
"We, we don't have much information. According to the analysis of existing information, it is likely to cultivate a huge beast, and then cultivate a qualified person. Through some kind of secret technique, the souls of the two are fused to form a A new, new creature…”
The subordinates thought for a while and continued: "This kind of creature has both the might of a beast and the rationality of a human being. But this is at the initial stage, and it is said that the most powerful method, uh, have you heard of Baojiaxian? "
When he asked abruptly, the old man was taken aback, and said, "But a fox, a snake, a hedgehog or something like a protector?"
"Yes! For thousands of years, there has been this tradition outside the pass, and many people are enshrining it. It is said that five kinds of spirits become immortals, and when they attach to disciples, they can open the altar. We have collected a lot of information, and based on the characteristics of beast spirits Inference, I feel that their highest level is that they can transform humans and beasts freely, and have high-strength mana, that is, the legendary Baojiaxian."
Hiss!
The old man was secretly startled. For thousands of years, traditions, enshrining... Tsk, thinking about it is terrifying!
He managed to stabilize his mind, looked carefully at the photo again, and murmured: "It's only at the initial stage, there is such a momentum, but it's... Sigh, our judgment on the two little friends is very wrong!"
He sighed, skipped this question for now, and asked again: "Have the five people from the Taoist Academy returned to Tianzhu Mountain?"
"Yes, they were injured too, but not seriously."
"We have cultivated it for nearly two years. When we first came out, we ended up like this. Now there are great differences. Many people think that the supply should be stopped. What do you think?"
"Well… "
The subordinates are confidantes and staff members, and they thought about it: "I think that instead of reducing resources, we need to double our support. After this battle, we have a more intuitive understanding of the monk's personal combat power, and now the environment is changing more and more. Strong, I will definitely rely on them more in the future. The gap between the Daoist Academy and Phoenix Mountain is so large, there must be something wrong, let’s investigate this first, and prescribe the right medicine, and the Daoist Academy may not be unable to achieve something.”
"That's right, that's exactly what I mean. We're going to send someone over to coordinate soon, hoping to get some information."
The old man rubbed his temples, thinking about the meeting he was going to attend later, he felt a headache. In such a huge government, there are many far-sighted people and many short-sighted people. Arguing with them is simply masochistic.
"Chief, how do you think the higher-ups will deal with the shamanism?"
The subordinate paused, and asked cautiously.
"Strong branches and weak roots can't be lost! What's more, they are in the dark, and we are in the light. We can only pull them out little by little, lest the dog jumps over the wall and the country is in turmoil."
The old man was also worried, and said: "Okay, we have a preliminary plan, you go down first."
…
Baicheng, Phoenix Mountain.
Gu Yu, Xiao Zhai and Long Qiu neatly poked under the old tree, and Long Qiu was still holding a big wooden box. She looked at her brother, saw him nodding, and opened the wooden box.
In an instant, a majestic aura of life emanated, and a handsome and elegant adult ginseng with leaves and seeds appeared. It seems ridiculous to describe ginseng as handsome and elegant, but it is true.
The king of ginseng in Xia Guo's collection is worth 9 taels, 1 cent and 2 cents in depreciation, and it only has two calves, so it is called a peerless product. And this ginseng essence has a body like a baby, with almost complete limbs. If it hadn't been for the lack of facial features, it would be no different from an ordinary child. In addition, it is surrounded by a faint layer of mist, making it even more fairy-like.
"Jinjin is injured and needs a little of your essence, not too much, just a few drops are enough, okay?"
She uses consciousness to communicate with the other party, and conveys the past as simply and clearly as possible. I still don't understand ginseng essence, but I instinctively felt a danger, so I naturally refused.
Long Qiu coaxed him in every possible way, but in the end he just nodded and agreed.
Gu Yu just stepped forward, stretched out his finger and stroked lightly on the side of the beard, only to see a thick milky white juice gurgling out, with a strange fragrance.
"Sizzling!"
"Squeak!"
The two mountain guard beasts onlookers were suddenly excited, ah, I want to eat it! I want to eat it! It looks delicious! Then he was slapped away by Xiao Zhai.
"receive!"
But Gu Yu didn't dare to be negligent, holding the gourd in his left hand, with a stroke of luck, he took in a little juice, and sealed the wound again with another stroke.
"I'll go first!"
Xiao Zhai took the gourd, jumped across the river, and headed straight for Qingxin Hut.
But here, the ginseng essence was shaking the leaves, and there was a sense of grievance and unhappiness all over his body, Long Qiu naturally comforted him. Gu Yu walked around under the tree, found a suitable place, and carried out the small transportation technique.
Whoosh!
The box was suddenly empty, and the ginseng essence had been planted in the soil, with three-stage compound leaves and a pod of red seeds.
Under this kind of condition, the surrounding breath is all affected, and the rich spiritual energy that has never been tasted makes people feel very happy. At the same time, it fed back a stronger life aura than before, and quickly merged with the nodes.
"Wow, boom!"
The old tree also felt it, shaking its branches and leaves vigorously, as if catering to the closeness.
These two auras are from the same source, both belong to wood and life, and at this moment they blend together to form a green air mass, which is faintly visible in the mid-air.
After a while, the air mass burst with a bang, and the green essence flew down and scattered into the mountain. boom! With a tremor, the mountain dragons on the entire mountain changed, it seemed to be more majestic, and the earth atmosphere became more solid and heavy.
In the words of Hong Huangliu, this is called a great increase in luck! The changes are still shallow at the moment, and given time, when the ginseng essence is fully mature, this place will definitely improve by an order of magnitude.
"Oh? It's the icing on the cake, complementing each other."
Gu Yu was also very pleasantly surprised, but he couldn't help but wonder.
As we all know, Taoism has ten caves, thirty-six small caves and seventy-two blessed places.
"Ziyang Zhenren Internal Biography" has a cloud: "The sky is meaningless, the mountain is a cave, and the man is a house. The emptiness in the belly of the mountain is called the Dongting; the emptiness in the head is called the bridal chamber. The real person lives in the sky and the mountain. Human beings enter Wuxian, and the Penglai Mountains, including Liuhe, can be covered with millet, and the sky and the earth cannot carry it."
The so-called caves and blessed places actually include the Taoist view of the universe. Taoism believes that heaven, earth, all things, and even human beings are all divided into one qi, and fairyland is also formed by the combination of qi. They communicate with each other, forming a vertical and horizontal interwoven three-dimensional network; and because of the difference in temperament and turbidity, the upper and lower are different.
They are connected to their own world, but isolated and secret.
For example, Wangwu Mountain, which the couple had been to, was one of the top ten caves. Of course, there are no eggs now.
Seeing the mutation brought about by ginseng essence, Gu Yu was fascinated for a moment, and then sighed at himself as ridiculous, saying: "Xiaoqiu, ask it, can it use the maze now?"
"Well… "
Long Qiu communicated for a while, then said helplessly, "It said it wants to drink."
Gu Yu laughed, took out a big gourd, watered a third of it first, and then put it next to the leaves, saying: "You should be able to absorb it yourself, and I will take care of it later."
"Plop!"
Hongzi shook again.
…
Meanwhile, inside the house.
Xiao Jin lay obediently on the bed, she seemed to be in good health, but when she looked carefully, there was a layer of black and purple looming on her fair and tender face, and her spirit was a little depressed.
Seeing her sister coming in, she immediately yelled: "Sister, I'm going to be moldy, when will it be better?"
"Come on, come on, drink this." Xiao Zhai handed over the gourd.
"What's this?"
She took it and poured it into her mouth, thinking that there was quite a lot, but a few drops of thick juice flowed out after a long time. She shook the gourd, smacked and smashed her mouth, "Hey, is this cool? Are there any more?"
"Stay calm, meditate!"
"oh!"
That girl didn't dare to talk nonsense, she immediately sat upright, used the meditation formula, and soon entered the state of looking at me alone.
The life essence of ginseng essence is extremely effective, and she soon felt a heat rushing through her body, her meridians swelled, her dantian boiled, and her whole body almost exploded.
"Well… "
She couldn't help moaning, she was about to be unable to hold on, and suddenly, she felt a coolness coming into her body, carefully channeling the heat flow, and slowly, she felt comfortable again.
Xiao Zhai was sweating profusely, guiding the essence, wandering around the acupoints, nourishing his sister's body little by little.
After a long time, she breathed a sigh of relief, withdrew her palms, and said, "You can be regarded as a blessing in disguise, and your skill has improved a bit."
"Wow!"
Xiao Jin was almost revived with full blood, swaying like never before, and immediately began to tremble: "This thing is so powerful! We eat three meals a day, won't we be immortals next month?"
"snort!"
Xiao Zhai snorted coldly and said, "Since you are fine, we should settle the score. You know that your strength is weak and the situation is suspicious, why did you get out of the car alone and cause us a lot of trouble?"
brush!
The girl's complexion changed suddenly, and she plopped and pia on the bed, like Yangzi, "No, no, I have something to do! Oh, I have kidney deficiency and physical weakness... No, don't do it, help me! I haven't cured my poison yet, I will cross infected… "
Alas!
Gu Yu and Long Qiu both walked to the door, but they didn't dare to go in after a long time, silently mourning for Xiao Zaozao.
…
As mentioned above, the so-called Mada Mountain can be regarded as two overlapping spaces.
One is the real space, and the other is the maze. As long as people step into this range, they will automatically enter the maze, and they will keep going around in circles, and they will never find the exit. What's more, it can also block any communication signals.
It is actually easy to break it, as long as one's own Taoism is more powerful than ginseng essence, it can be broken by force inside or outside.
It has not yet fully formed, and cannot control the entire Phoenix Mountain, and can only be deployed in individual areas. Gu Yu discussed with Xiao Zhai and chose two entrances: one is at the barbed wire fence, and the other is at the wild trail at the northern foot.
The former is turned on all day long, while the latter is often in and out, and it will only be turned on when there are foreign enemies. This is the most valuable place of ginseng essence, panoramic radar, mountain protection array, and life-saving elixir.
The four walked around and were very satisfied with the effect. They returned to the valley and called everyone to come.
They originally planned to stay in Songjianghe for two days, and then leave after looking around, but it caused a lot of troubles and wasted time. The day after tomorrow is New Year's Eve, and a bunch of people are still waiting to speak.
Qingxinlu, courtyard.
More than a dozen people are divided into three piles according to the wine shop, tea house and fruit forest. Li Dong was a bitch, so he forced himself to go to the wine shop. Zhang Qianqiu is working in the manor. The current manor is still under the care of Yuan, Zeng and Lei. When the Shui family comes, they will withdraw and Shui Yao will be in charge.
"The day after tomorrow is New Year's Eve. If you want to go home, you can go back to the mountain on the sixth day. If you don't want to go back, you can stay." Gu Yu was simple and clear.
"..."
Everyone looked at each other, not surprised, the two bosses were very kind—hehehe!
Gao Mingde spoke first, and said: "My son brought his girlfriend back, I have to go, but I don't need the sixth day, I can go back to the mountain on the fourth day."
"Well, yes." Gu Yu nodded.
"I, I have to go home and have a look, probably until the fifth day." Guo Fei raised his hand.
Afterwards, Li Dong and Zhang Qianqiu also wanted to go back, as did the fruit growers, and some tea growers were in the south, and it was too late, so they simply stayed.
"Everyone has worked hard for more than half a year, and I would like to express my gratitude here. For the remaining ones, make an exception these few days. You can buy some meat for your own use. In addition, each person has some rice, wine, tea, melons and fruits, but remember, no Bring back."
Ho!
What a surprise! Everyone thanked them again and again.
After they left, Gu Yu asked again: "What do you two plan?"
"I have to tell my parents something, Jin Jin will follow me back." Xiao Zhai said.
"ah?"
Xiao Jin has a bitter face, she doesn't have a good relationship with her parents, and she doesn't have the slightest idea of that family. I thought about not going back, but the Queen Mother Yizhi, there is no way.
She rolled her eyes, and suddenly saw Long Qiu, and said casually, "Hey Qiuqiu, you've been out for so long, do you want to go back to the village?"
"me… "
Long Qiu was a little dazed. Her closest relatives in Miao Village were her master, and then her younger sister Long Tang. She could miss her occasionally, and the other clan members directly passed.
"I'll go again later, I want to see my sister." She didn't know what to do, she scratched her head and answered.
"Hey! You have a sister, and she has a sister, but I don't! Look down on people!"
Xiao Jin deliberately found fault, but it was a pity that no one complained.
Gu Yu said: "Okay, Xiao Qiu, you go to Phoenix Collection with me, I've disappeared for so long, it's time to show my face."
