The old saying goes: The little one hides in the wild, the big one hides in the city. But this is an old saying that today's cities are too noisy and no longer suitable for hermits to live in.
In less-traveled places, you can devote yourself to practice.
A dark green military jeep quickly descended from the villa area on Mount Jigong. Dao Chief Tanyou and I were in this vehicle, accompanied by two soldiers, Zheng Xiumin and Zhu Jianfang.
The scenery outside the car window was beautiful, but it was a pity that everyone rushed out of the car.
The jeep drove into the prosperous Xinyang city in a blink of an eye, drove through the streets and alleys, and drove straight into an underground garage. I hurriedly asked the driver Zhu Jianfang: "Aren't we going to Lingshan? Why did you bring us here?"
Zheng Xiumin ordered me: "Don't ask too many questions, we are not road fools!" Then he opened the door and walked to a black Santana sedan next to him, leaving us to wait in the jeep.
She circled the old Santana twice, then leaned down, took out a key from the inside of the front wheel, quickly opened the door, sat in the driver's seat, and said to us: "Normal, change clothes quickly!" She also closed the car door.
The old Taoist priest was a little confused, and Zhu Jianfang in the front row said, "Doctor Yuan, the clothes are right behind you, so quickly change them!" He also pulled out a set of gray sportswear from the seat and quickly put it on his body.
I took a black plastic bag from the back seat of the jeep, which was also a black sportswear, and the old Taoist complained: "I'm just visiting an old friend. Is it so mysterious?"
After changing his clothes, Zhu Jianfang took the lead to get out of the car and walked around to take a seat on the co-pilot of the Santana sedan. I took the old Taoist priest and quickly got into the seat at the back of the sedan. I saw that Zheng Xiumin had also put on a set of khaki. Sportswear, which makes us look like a tour group.
"We are still in the secret investigation team, so any action must be kept confidential and vigilant!" Zheng Xiumin explained, and then kicked the accelerator, Santana whizzed out of the underground garage.
I couldn't help asking the old Taoist: "Are we still in danger?"
The old guy didn't answer, so I opened the collar of the warm jacket, and when I saw that the jasper on my chest was normal, I felt relieved.
Zheng Xiumin asked the old Taoist priest as he drove: "Master, do you have anything else to buy?"
The veteran Taoist fiddled with the large zipper on his sportswear and replied: "I want to buy a lot of things, but unfortunately I don't have any money in my pocket!"
Zheng Xiumin said: "As long as it does not exceed two hundred yuan, I will pay for you!"
Santana quickly drove towards Luoshan County. When I was croaking hungry, the car stopped in front of a roadside restaurant, probably because the restaurant was located in a remote location and there were not many diners.
The old Taoist priest was about to open the door and get out of the car. Zhu Jianfang immediately stopped him and said: "You stay in the car, I will buy it back, and everyone will eat in the car!"
I couldn't help asking Zheng Xiumin: "We are all in Luoshan County. Are you afraid that others will know? Besides, this action was approved by Captain Ji!"
Zheng Xiumin turned his head and yelled at me: "Captain Ji also told you that everything in this operation must follow my arrangements!"
I had no choice but to remain silent, the old Taoist took out the stainless steel hip flask, twisted the lid and drank.
Zheng Xiumin stopped him: "Tan Daochang, you already have cataracts and heart attacks, and you still drink alcohol?"
"I have drunk the wine a long time ago. I am holding the wine jug to relieve my anger!" The old Taoist priest turned the wine jug upside down, and it turned out that it was empty.
Before long, Zhu Jianfang returned to the car with a large plastic bag. Lunch was fried rice and a bottle of mineral water.
A broken east wind car rushed past the roadside, and a dust was picked up. Fortunately, the windows of the car were closed.
However, I have left a shadow in my heart. I am a little repulsive and fearful of all the dilapidated Dongfeng and Jiefang trucks.
We ate quickly, and Zheng Xiumin started the vehicle again and drove in the direction of Lingshan.
The old Taoist priest kept pointing her direction, and Zhu Jianfang complained that the fried rice he bought was too dry and a bit salty, so he kept drinking water.
Before arriving at Lingshan, Zheng Xiumin opened the window of the bell, and a smell of Canaan scent mixed with vegetation floated into the car. Zhu Jianfang said: "The scenery here is so beautiful!"
The old Taoist said, "Turn forward and stop in front of Taipinggou. Let's go up the mountain by stone steps."
Zheng Xiumin was a little puzzled, but still parked the car under a steep mountain. She turned around and handed us sunglasses. The old Taoist put on the sunglasses and strode up the mountain path. I hurriedly followed behind.
Zhu Jianfang got out of the car and looked around. We followed the stone steps up the mountain and followed the twists and turns of the old Taoist priest. Zheng Xiumin chased up and asked: "Daoist, this is not the way to Lingshan Temple. !"
The old Taoist responded: "Yes, this is where my old friend lives in seclusion!"
When we were all panting and sweating profusely, the old Taoist led us into a mountain col. Two small tiled houses appeared in front of us, and the fence in front of the door was half high.
This is clearly a family in the mountains, but I heard the muyu chanting from inside the house.
The old Taoist took a breath, pushed open the fence gate, and went straight into the hall.
The hall was enshrining an immeasurable Buddha. When a monk in a yellow robe heard someone coming, he stopped chanting and looked at us.
The old Taoist pointed to the futon on the ground and said to us, "Sit down!"
The monk calmly said, "Didn't the Dao Master go to cast down demons and slay demons? How come you have time to come to the hut?"
The old Taoist took off his sunglasses, then unzipped the zipper of his sportswear, and said calmly, "Old monk, look at me!"
Continuing the mage’s kind face, and unable to see his true age, he opened his mouth with a slow and magnetic voice in surprise: "Your right eye, and your chest, have you encountered a ghost?"
The veteran Taoist corrected: "It's not a ghost, but the ghost of a Central Union spy!"
At this time, the lights in the room flickered, and the mage's expression continued to change. I hurriedly added: "One of them is called the old ghost, and the other is called Geng Jingzhong. They also imprisoned an underground worker named Xiao Ke!"
The mage turned around and looked at us. I hurriedly introduced: "This is Sergeant Zheng Xiumin from the military region, and Comrade Zhu Jianfang, the armed police!"
The two stared at me and continued the mage slowly saying: "There are always exceptions in the two realms of yin and yang. Some people are extremely vicious, stubborn and stubborn, and some ghosts are immortal and extremely stubborn. Brother Dao wants me to come out of the mountain. Help you exorcise ghosts?"
The old Taoist hurriedly said: "No, I just came to borrow your ghost cage to catch ghosts. Such evil spirits are indelible and difficult to understand the hatred in my heart, let alone revenge for the predecessors!"
"You are still alive in hatred, and acted by emotions!" Continued the mage.
The old Taoist whispered to the mage. The mage stared at me in astonishment, and said, "Dao is different, we don’t seek each other, but no matter how humans or ghosts are, we all serve the same purpose. It’s not possible to rely on ghost cages alone. I have a place. Brother Yanwu, you are in the Hall of Forgetfulness next door, and you can ask him to come out of the mountain to assist you, otherwise the hidden danger will not be eliminated if the two evil spirits are not eliminated."
"He is your brother, it's easier to convince him!" The old Taoist priest said that he was going to pull the mage to get up, but the mage lifted the monk's robe, revealing his legs that shrank like withered branches.
The old Taoist asked us to wait here, and he went to the next room.
The Continuation Master said to me: "Young man, you still have a bright future, and people and ghosts have different paths, why do you choose female ghosts, poor monks look at the girl next to you, it is good, the kindness is the way of heaven!" (End of this chapter)
