For Qi Yan, there are too many childhood memories in Wangxiang Town, some happy, and of course some unhappy. There's nothing noteworthy about this place, there are no special ores, and even the crops are ordinary. The only thing worthy of praise is its name. It is said that a person surnamed Wang once cultivated here and became an immortal, so it was named Wangxiang Town. The local government wanted to use this stunt to promote and develop tourism, but no one was interested in this story, not even the locals took it seriously.
Now that something happened to this inconspicuous place, if it wasn't for what Third Brother Cen said, he would definitely think that the other party was lying to him.
"Don't worry too much, the above will definitely take care of this matter," Third Brother Cen regretted bringing up this matter while eating, "Let's eat first, eat."
Cen Baihe picked out a crayfish for Qi Yan and put it in his bowl: "The lobster you like, it won't taste good when it's cold."
"Oh." Qi Yan put on gloves and obediently made lobster to eat, Cen Baihe put down his chopsticks and glanced at his third brother.
Brother Cen was frightened by the sight of his younger brother, and almost choked on the soup in his mouth. Fortunately, Qi Yan didn't mention anything about Wang Township after that, so he could finish the meal safely, instead of being stared at by his younger brother and making his back cold, or his wife twisting his legs into bruises. .
After the meal, the four of them walked out of Qianweiju. Brother Cen glanced at his younger brother who was walking with Qi Yan: "Bai He, you take Xiaoyan home, I'll walk with your third sister-in-law first."
Cen Baihe nodded, "Be careful on the road."
After Brother Cen left, Cen Baihe said to Qi Yan, "Don't think too much, go back to rest first."
"Don't worry, I didn't think about anything messy," Qi Yan sat in the car and saw Cen Baihe's eyes full of worry, "I'm not the savior either, and I definitely won't run to dangerous places alone. What's more... The third brother said. If it's that serious, things must be unusual. Even if I do go, I'm afraid I won't be able to find a place."
Cen Baihe glanced at Qi Yan suspiciously, distrusting his statement.
"No matter what, I hope you can put your own safety first." Cen Baihe knew Qian Qian's character, and he seemed to be gentle and talkative. As long as he made up his mind, it would be useless for anyone to persuade him.
"I'm going upstairs." The car stopped at Qi Yan's downstairs, he got out of the car and waved to Cen Baihe, "Good night."
"Good night." Cen Baihe gave Qi Yan a deep look, and didn't close the car door until he walked into the building, "Go home."
"You're back?" Third Brother Cen was sitting in the living room, and when he saw Cen Baihe come in, he pointed to the sofa next to him, "Sit."
Taking off his coat and handing it to the servant, Cen Baihe sat on the sofa with a blank expression: "Third brother, why did you suddenly mention this?"
"Bai He, you are too emotional," Third Brother Cen poured him a cup of tea, the fragrance of the tea lingered in his room, Cen Baihe's eyes fell on the tea cup and didn't touch it, "You are not a materialist, how did you start to be right? Interested in this kind of thing?"
Being so run on by his brother, Brother Cen was not angry, he took a sip from the teacup: "Do you think I'm plotting against Qiyan?"
Cen Baihe remained silent and did not speak.
"Actually, three masters were dispatched from above two days ago," Third Brother Cen looked solemn, "None of these three came back. I didn't want to arouse Qi Yan's curiosity, but I really didn't want him to come back. Go, it's too dangerous."
Cen Baihe frowned: "How could this be?"
"I don't know very well either. The scope of my work doesn't govern this area, and I only get a little inside information about this matter," Third Brother Cen sighed, "You have a good talk with Qi Yan tomorrow, and tell him not to impulse."
"I see." Cen Baihe stood up, "Drinking tea at night will cause insomnia, so drink less."
Brother Cen:…
As soon as Qi Yan got out of the elevator, he saw a few black shadows squatting in front of his house, so frightened that he almost went back into the elevator.
"Master Qi!"
This shout of joy caused the voice-activated light above Qi Yan's head to light up. He found that there were two acquaintances in the shadows. What was the name of one of them, Li Qiang or Wang Qiang
"Master Qi, you're finally back!" Xiang Qiang breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Qi Yan appear. He was worried that if Qi Yan went to Cen's house today, they would not see anyone.
Qi Yan glanced at the few people behind Xiang Qiang, and found that in addition to the people in the special group, there were two tall men behind them. Qi Yan suspected that these two might be special forces. With such a big battle suddenly coming, and the reminder from Third Brother Cen to him during dinner tonight, Qi Yan roughly guessed the purpose of these people.
"Come and talk first," Qi Yan opened the door, turned on the lights in the room, and let these people enter the room.
"Tell me, what happened." Qi Yan threw the bag in his hand on the sofa, and looked at the few people with solemn expressions.
"Master Qi, this time is very important, the country and the organization hope you can lend a helping hand," Xiang Qiang handed the portfolio in Qi Yan's hand, "the situation is getting more and more serious, if it is not resolved in time, it may lead to greater calamity."
Qi Yan didn't talk nonsense with these people. He opened the file bag, which contained several photos and several reports. The photos were various topographic maps of Wangxiang Town and the location of the incident. After Shimu and his party read one of the high-level encrypted documents, Qi Yan did not dare to believe: "Someone took the whole town as a sacrifice?"
"I'm not sure yet, but several masters have guessed like this," Xiang Qiang said in a low voice, "In addition... Master Wei has passed away."
No matter how daring Qi Yan is, he knows that this time things are not easy. In his memory, although Master Wei is missing an eye, his face is a very kind person. Such a powerful master can't solve this problem. How many people can do it
"Then what happened to Master Qian?" He remembered that Master Qian was an advisor to the special group. If something happened to Master Wei, Master Qian would probably be in trouble.
Sure enough, after he asked these words, Xiang Qiang's tone became even lower, he shook his head and said, "Master Qian is missing."
If you can't find the body, it is called missing, but everyone knows that in this case, Master Qian must have been miserable.
"If you tell me these things, don't you worry that I won't go because I'm afraid?" Qi Yan returned the portfolio to Xiang Qiang, "I'm a person who cherishes my life."
"I know, but we can't deceive you in the dark," Xiang Qiang smiled bitterly, "We are public servants of the people, not swindlers."
"I see," Qi Yan stood up, "when will we leave?"
"The plane is already waiting at the airport and will leave at two in the morning." Xiang Qiang was overjoyed, did Master Qi agree to go
"You wait first, I'll make preparations." Qi Yan threw these people into the living room and entered the room.
"Brother Xiang, Master Qi agreed to go?" Xiang Qiang's companion said, "This is really great!"
Xiang Qiang nodded in a complicated mood. At this moment, he didn't know whether to be happy or to sigh. Even if Master Qi didn't go, he wouldn't be surprised. Even Master Wei and Master Qian can't do anything about it, Master Qi is so young, he should have retreated in his heart. In fact, in Xiang Qiang's expectation, Master Qi should not agree to this matter. Before they invited Master Qi to join a special group and offered all kinds of attractive conditions, Master Qi was not interested, let alone this kind of Something that could kill you.
However, Master Qi agreed. He agreed without mentioning various discounts and benefits. This was completely beyond his expectations.
A few minutes later, there was the sound of water splashing in the master bedroom, and Xiang Qiang wondered, is Master Qi dealing with the magic implement
Qi Yan was thinking about what to bring while taking a shower. This time, things are different than usual, and the magic weapon that is in hand must be brought, as well as... the gossip robe left by the old man for him.
The gossip robe itself is a magic weapon. The old man once proudly said that this is a treasure left by the ancestors, how amazing it is. However, in fact, Qi Yan didn't find much magic about it, except that it can resist some parts. Outside of external damage, it's useless.
But at that moment, the first thing that came to his mind was the gossip robe that the old man used to brag about.
After taking a bath, wiping off the water on his body and changing into clean clothes, Qi Yan went to the old man's room and put three sticks of incense on him.
"Master, your old man must bless me to come back safely, otherwise our 23-generation teacher's door will be destroyed," Qi Yan bowed to the photo, and put the moon cake on the sacrifice plate "I don't know if I will be able to come back in time for the Mid-Autumn Festival, so you can take these mooncakes to taste first, and I will buy you other flavors when I get back."
"Then I'm going out." Qi Yan knelt on the futon, kowtowed three times to the master's photo, stretched out his hand under the offering table, and dragged out a ash-stained wooden box.
Around 1:00 a.m. on the tenth day of the eighth lunar month, a special plane was parked at the Imperial Capital International Airport. On this large military passenger plane, there were monks, Taoists, wizards, and special forces, but there was no ordinary passenger.
There were a lot of people in the cabin, but no one spoke, and the atmosphere was terrifyingly solemn.
A burst of footsteps broke the silence, and the silent crowd seemed to have found a new point of attention. They looked at the entrance of the cabin and saw two people in national security uniforms leading a boy in. .
This boy is very young, with a little baby fat on his cheeks, and under his curly hair, there are a pair of extra bright eyes, like a bright light in the dark night, shining into everyone's heart.
"Master Qi?" Master Zhao looked at Qi Yan, "Why are you here?"
"Why did you come, that's why I came," Qi Yan walked over to Master Zhao, smiled at everyone in the cabin, and sat down.
"Did you bring such a young master to send him to death?" an elderly wizard said in her hoarse voice, "It's enough for us old guys to let this young man die. People go back."
"Yes, yes, what kind of help can a young man like him do? Why do you ask him to join in the fun?"
The cabin suddenly became lively, and the hairy young man Qi Yan instantly became a baby who couldn't take care of himself and was hated by everyone, and everyone was clamoring to kick him off the plane.
Although these seniors are all well-intentioned, can we be a little more subtle when it comes to retaliating
The people in the special group looked embarrassed, especially Xiang Qiang, who took Qi Yan on the plane, and got a lot of eyeballs.
"Please rest assured, we are definitely not blindly sending everyone to their deaths," Zhao Zhicheng, the leader of the special group who had not spoken, stood up and said, "All of you here are well-respected masters. Many wealthy businessmen and celebrities want to meet you, but they are not the same. It's an easy task. But for the sake of the country and the people, you stood up without hesitation. I really, really thank you very much."
Zhao Zhicheng bowed to everyone, and the cabin became quiet again.
"Team Leader Zhao, it's not that we old guys are making things difficult for you, it's just that this kid looks so old," the wizard who just spoke sighed, "If we old guys can't do anything, what can this kid do. If we have a way, It's not much use to have one more of him, it's better to let him go back, and we can feel more at ease."
"Thank you Wizard Miao for caring so much about my comfort," Qi Yan knew in his heart that if he didn't speak up again at this time, the atmosphere in the cabin would get worse again, "Although this junior has limited ability, I hope I can help seniors. .And I deliberately divination before going out, this time we will be able to survive without any danger and return triumphantly."
"Do you know me?" The ancestors of the wizard Miao were the legendary witch doctors, and later passed down from generation to generation, and the outside world called them wizards. Due to the influence of some fairy tales and film and television works, many people tend to think of various evil villains when they hear the word "Wizard". In fact, the wizard is a kind-hearted and mild-mannered person, otherwise he would not be able to cure diseases and save people.
It's a pity that their line of wizards is almost cut off now, and now, few people are willing to be wizards.
"The younger generation has heard the master mention you," Qi Yan said with a smile, "he said that you are a very great person."
His master did mention this Miao wizard, but it was not how great he was, but that this man thought too much about things and was not happy at all.
"I don't know who your master is?" Wizard Miao frowned, he had never seen this young man in his memory.
"The master has passed away. When the old man passed away, he made a special statement that the younger generation should not use his name to walk the rivers and lakes." Qi Yan smiled apologetically, "I also ask wizard Miao to forgive me."
"I see," Wizard Miao understood and stopped asking questions. He looked at Qi Yan, "Since you insist on going, remember not to be impulsive when you get there."
"Thank you senior for reminding me." Qi Yan accepted the other party's kindness.
After listening to the conversation between Qi Yan and Wizard Miao, the other masters did not insist on letting the special group take Qi Yan off the plane, but they had a lot of goodwill towards Qi Yan. No one will dislike a younger generation who is polite and benevolent.
There were originally eight warlocks on the plane, but after Qi Yan joined, there were nine. The number of nine is respected, and this is an auspicious omen.
At two o'clock, the plane took off on time. Qi Yan watched the buildings on the ground getting smaller and smaller, and finally only saw a piece of light, and then he remembered one thing, that is, he forgot to tell a few friends that he was going out.
After five o'clock in the morning, the plane landed in the urban parking lot where Wangxiang Town is located. As soon as they got off the plane, the officers and soldiers of the military region who had been waiting at the airport immediately picked them up in the car and drove out of the airport all the way.
During this time period, there were very few pedestrians on the road. Occasionally, passers-by saw a long line of military jeeps driving past, and they just thought it was where these soldiers were going to exercise, and they didn't take this kind of thing to heart at all.
Qi Yan and Master Zhao were sitting in the same car. Everyone who entered the mountain this time had to turn off their communicators and could not reveal their whereabouts to anyone.
It takes about two hours from the city to Wangxiang Town. Qi Yan leaned against the back of his chair and dozed off for a while. When he opened his eyes, the car had already entered the boundary of Wangxiang Town.
Wangxiang Town is the most prosperous town in the entire county. All county-level departments and units are built in this town, so the town is very lively at this time. When the jeep that Qi Yan and the others were riding in passed by, many people looked at them curiously. .
Qi Yan looked at some unfamiliar streets and buildings outside the car window, and felt that this place was not quite like the Wangxiang Town when he left. But this is not bad, the roads are spacious and clean, and the buildings are getting more and more beautiful, which shows that the local economy is developing and the people are living a better life.
On the sidewalk, a two- or three-year-old child staggered in front of him, his parents, grandparents, and grandparents followed behind him with love and concern on their faces.
Seeing this scene, Qi Yan couldn't help laughing, this is really good.
"Two masters, please sit tight. We are about to enter the mountain road. The road conditions are not very good, and there will be some bumps."
To say the road is bad is a euphemism. Sitting in the car, Qi Yan swayed and felt like a ball in a jar. If he hadn't eaten in the morning, he would probably have vomited out his breakfast.
No wonder they had to use a jeep to pick them up. If it was a car with a lower chassis, it wouldn't be able to drive at all.
"Bai He, what's the matter?" When third brother Cen went downstairs, he saw his younger brother was playing with his cell phone in his nightgown, his hair hadn't been taken care of, and the newspaper in front of him hadn't moved.
"I'm going out." Cen Baihe said with a sullen face, holding his mobile phone and preparing to go out.
"Wait, are you going out in your nightgown?"
Cen Baihe looked down at the clothes on his body, turned around and strode upstairs. After a while, Third Brother Cen saw that he was wearing a white shirt and went out the door with his jacket in his hand, not even buttoning it.
"What's wrong?" He frowned and called Liang Feng.
"Liang Feng, did something happen to your company?"
After getting the negative answer, third brother Cen shook his head in confusion, Bai He looked like a little bride who was running away...
Realizing that he was affected by the TV series watched by his wife, Brother Cen patted his face to wake himself up a bit.
no one.
Cen Baihe stood at the door of Qi Yan's house and knocked on the door for a long time, but no one answered. He lowered his head and called Qi Yan's cell phone, but it was still turned off.
Where did the money go
"Young man, don't knock, no one is at home." The family who lived opposite Qi Yan opened a crack, "He left with a few people at midnight last night."
"Who did you go with?"
"Then I don't know," said the fat aunt who was talking. "I heard a movement in the corridor and didn't dare to open the door to look."
Qian Qian once said that if someone dares to be malicious to him at his house, he will definitely be punished, so Qian Qian should have gone with these people voluntarily, and he was in a hurry, and he didn't even have time to make a phone call, or … can not fight.
He took out his mobile phone and called the third brother.
"Third brother, when will the master invited above leave?"
"This morning?"
"I see… "
After the jeep stopped on the mountain, the first thing a few masters did after getting out of the car was to hold the tree and vomit, and it took a long time to recover.
So no matter how powerful the master is, in the face of motion sickness, he is helpless.
Qi Yan patted Master Zhao on the back, and when he saw that he was almost vomiting, he handed the mineral water in his hand to Master Zhao and asked him to rinse his mouth.
"Thank you." Master Zhao weakly thanked Qi Yan, "It's better for you young people, shaking like this, nothing happened."
Qi Yan laughed dumbly, this is not a good thing.
"Locking Tiger Formation! It turned out to be Locking Tiger Formation!"
An old man with gray hair stood on the top of the mountain, looking at the tops of several nearby mountains, his lips were shaking.
Locking Tiger Formation, also known as Destiny Formation, as long as this formation is successful, the nearby upgrades and fortunes will all be like locked tigers, unable to struggle, unable to escape, only deprived of all vitality.
But what made them really terrified was not the Tiger Lock Formation, but around the Tiger Lock Formation, a heavenly sacrifice formation was set up. , to urge the Locking Tiger Array, and the Locking Tiger Array provided enough sacrifices for the Heaven Sacrifice Array.
This cycle of mutual circulation, over time like a snowball, in the end not only this Wangxiang town, I am afraid that even this county, this city will be affected.
Looking at this interlocking formation, Qi Yan finally understood why Master Wei, Master Qian, was trying so hard to break this formation. Because in three days it will be the full moon in the Mid-Autumn Festival. At that time, these two formations, borrowing the power of the moon, will be unstoppable.
The people who set up the formation used the landscape trends and spiritual tools here to form such a terrifying formation, which almost regarded human life as a must.
Even now, Qi Yan could see luck and anger constantly pouring in from all directions, forming a chaotic and terrifying killing energy above this place.
"Have the nearby residents moved out?" Qi Yan's palms turned cold.
"We asked the nearby residents to move out on the grounds that we suspected that the bomb left by the enemy a hundred years ago was found here." Xiang Qiang explained in a low voice, "But we can't make the whole town move away, we are afraid of causing panic among the people. ."
"It's useless to move away," Qi Yan sighed, "the moment the formation succeeds, their lives are already tied to this formation."
Xiang Qiang was shocked when he heard the words, how is this possible? !
"However, I remember that when foreign enemies invaded our country, they didn't seem to have passed through here," Qi Yan turned his head and asked Xiang Qiang, "Did you find this excuse a little perfunctory?"
Xiang Qiang: At this time, can you not consider such trivial matters
The author has something to say: Qian Qian: When you make excuses, you can't use your brains? !
Bai He: Looking for a base friend!
