There was still a rustling sound in the night, and the lights of the crane were no longer flickering. The figures sitting on the ground twisted their necks stiffly, looking at the few people who suddenly appeared over there, and watched tremblingly as they collected the ghost shadows that exploded on the ground in some kind of bag, even the sand stained with green ** was not spared, and was stuffed into the bag and sealed.
Perhaps knowing that it was not that dangerous, everyone gradually calmed down from their panic.
"who are they?"
"Whoever they are, they are finally saved. Oh my god, I almost died."
"Looking at their clothes, maybe they are from the country?"
"The country is trustworthy. These charlatans are cheating and almost killed us."
…
Amid the whispered conversation, the Taoist priest over there also came back to his senses from his fright, and after hearing these words, he staggered to his feet, steadied his still shaking legs, took the peach wood sword and placed it diagonally across his legs, and lit a piece of talisman paper with a bang. When the ashes and sparks floated to his feet, he stomped on them twice, snorted coldly, nodded slightly, and stroked his beard.
"Assistant Chen, the evil spirit just now was actually weakened by this Taoist priest, so these people took advantage of it."
The assistant named Chen stood up on his still trembling knees, looking at the Taoist priest who was trying to take credit for himself, wishing he could strangle him to death. He loosened his tie and saw a man among the four people coming over with a spray that seemed to be for relieving eye fatigue. He knew that the survival of his group depended on the other party, so he left the Taoist priest and went to meet them.
Taoist Jin looked up at the sky with his eyes half closed, and saw the other person leaving. He hurriedly chased after him: "Hey, Assistant Chen, don't leave. I haven't finished what I want to say yet. That evil spirit..."
The assistant ignored him and pushed the Taoist priest away. During the scuffle, a package of something fell out from the wide sleeves of the Taoist robe, splashed some pungent powder on the ground, and emitted a faint night light.
The Taoist priest quickly picked it up and put it into his sleeve, smiling rather awkwardly.
"This... I just carry it with me to provide lighting. Look, even if there is no credit, there should be some hard work, right, Assistant Chen?"
"roll!"
As a senior assistant of the group, he knew that this thing was called phosphorus powder. He raised his hand and pointed at him: "Go tell my boss about this."
He straightened his collar, restored his usual demeanor as a senior assistant to the group, and greeted the approaching young man with a smile. He stretched out his hand to shake it, but the other party ignored him, stepped aside, fiddled with the things in his hand, and said with a smile: "No need to introduce yourself. Anyway, you won't remember it later, so... don't bother."
"Sir, what is this..."
Assistant Chen turned around and looked at the other person, only to hear the thing in the young man's hand making a 'squeak' sound. Before he could finish his 'meaning', the man in front of him turned around and raised the 'spray' in his hand.
"Look here, smile!
Whoosh~~~
At this moment, the rustling sound of the wind in the mountains became louder. The woman who had been looking at the surrounding mountains had a square device on her waist. The green light that was slowly flashing suddenly turned red, and an electric current rushed to the woman. The latter woke up suddenly, looked at the swaying woods around her, turned her head and shouted to the man who was holding the "sprayer" over there.
“There’s something in this mountain!!”
The man who shouted "eggplant" and was about to press the button, and the two men in suits who had sealed the bags and put them into the box turned their heads and looked at him.
Woohoo~~Woohoo~~~
The sound of the wind was like thousands of people howling in the dark night on the mountainside. The grass and trees on the mountainside were shaking wildly. Amid the rustling of branches and leaves, people could vaguely hear the sound of flapping wings coming from the western foothills.
"This noise is even louder than the evil spirit just now..." Taoist Mao stood up in fear, turned around and ran to the altar to grab a few talismans, lifted up the yellow silk with the eight trigrams printed on it, and crawled under the table. He trembled and held the talisman in his hand, lowered his head and shrank his neck, and kept chanting the spells he had learned...
Outside, the silent loess and sand rolled away the night sky. The four people who had been scattered gathered together immediately, staring at the woman taking the instrument with a flashing red dot on her waist. The value on it had soared to the hundreds and was still rising madly. The moment it reached nine hundred and ninety-nine, sparks rose up with a bang, and the instrument was scrapped in the woman's hands.
The two burly men in suits stared blankly at the scrapped equipment, looking a little dumbfounded. The young man next to them took out a special firearm, held it in his hand, and stared at his surroundings nervously. The woman dropped the instrument in her hand and did the same thing, leaning back against the young man. She couldn't help pursing her red lips and swallowing her saliva. She clearly felt that her back and that of her male companion were soaked with sweat.
"Be careful, it might be coming."
"I'm afraid I won't be able to make it tonight."
When the two of them said something to each other with their backs to each other, their vision was obviously darkened for a moment, and then they heard a 'pop' sound, and the headlight of the crane tower on the other side of the construction site in the distance went out instantly. The next second, the second crane tower light exploded, and the third... the fourth... until the headlight of the crane tower next to the crowd exploded on the tower, and the sparks finally illuminated the night sky. The young man shouted: "What is that in the sky?!"
In the dark night, an extremely huge wing swept over everyone's head, and the hurricane it brought directly blew the huddled figures below to the ground.
The altar rose into the air, and the incense burner on it fell to the ground and rolled. Yellow talismans flew all over the sky, and the Taoist priest hiding below also rolled with his head in his hands and fell into a mud pit filled with water.
…
"That's it... No wonder it feels familiar."
Lu Liangsheng stood under the tree with his hands behind his back, looking at the huge shadow passing across the night sky and the people and horses falling to the ground below. He raised his wide sleeves and flicked them outwards, and the sound of Dharma came out from his lips.
"come over!"
"come over… "
"come over… "
Between the mountains, the sound of Dharma echoed repeatedly. The huge shadow that had originally passed over the top of the mountain suddenly shook, flew over the foothills, turned around and flew back. The moment it landed on Xiaoquan Mountain, the huge shadow quickly shrank and turned into a human figure that lightly stepped on a rock outside the forest.
Lu Liangsheng brushed his robe sleeves and led the old donkey out of the woods. Gradually, they appeared in the moonlight of the night clouds. The figure on the rock was petite, with a pretty face but a slightly old look. Her hair was loose, with a feather ring around her head, and she was wearing a feather dress that only reached her thighs. She looked bold and unrestrained.
The woman jumped off the rock, stepped on the yellow mud barefoot, and looked hesitantly at the forest. When she saw the scholar coming out, the old donkey following behind him, and the toad sitting on the donkey's head with its webbed feet, her eyes gradually brightened.
In an instant, she knelt on the ground with a thud. The woman's voice was choked and trembling. She shouted, "Huazhi, I pay my respects to Master Lu," and then she prostrated herself on the ground and bowed down.
"Master, you are finally back."
"Well, I'll be back."
Lu Liangsheng lifted the woman up from the ground with one hand, and brushed the dirt off her legs. "Have you been guarding Qixia Mountain all these years?"
The woman was exactly the white hen in Lu Liangsheng's home. When Lu Liangsheng ascended to heaven and left, she had already gained some skills in Taoism. She hid in the mountains and practiced with the spirit gathering array. Even though a thousand years had passed, she still missed her master in her heart.
Now that the master of the house has become an immortal, the necessary rules must still be followed. Over there, Huazhi nodded and lowered her face slightly.
"Yes, Huazhi has been guarding here all the time. Most of the time, he is practicing or sleeping in the cave. The mountain spirit Wood Ghost he raised is guarding outside. He just came out when he realized that the Wood Ghost was destroyed. I didn't expect that only a few decades have passed and the Qixia Mountain of the Immortal Master has been occupied by others. Huazhi will go and drive them away now."
"No hurry. Since we are together, let's talk. I also have a lot of questions to ask you."
Lu Liangsheng called her over, and since she had nowhere else to go, he cast a barrier on the spot to isolate this place, and conjured up a stone table and chairs, placed some tea on them, and asked the hesitant woman to sit down.
at the same time.
The wind below also stopped, and the embarrassed crowd got up timidly, groping together in the dark, not daring to move. Only the four men moved cleanly and neatly. When they were blown down, they protected their vital parts. Their psychological quality was also much stronger than that of ordinary people. As soon as the wind stopped, they immediately got up from the ground and looked for shelter. After a long time, there was no movement, and then they walked out.
There was a lot of doubt in his eyes.
"What was that thing just now?"
"I don't know. The higher-ups have warned us. It seems like something really big has made its home here."
"When the lights went out just now, I saw a wing brushing past my head. My goodness, a feather must be as big as a car."
"Do you think the big guy left?"
"Wait a little longer?"
"According to that guy, there's no need to wait for us. If he really wants to kill us, that strike just now would probably kill everyone here."
"Now is not the time to talk about this. Since there is no movement, maybe it's just a warning to us. You two go and erase the memory of the people over there, then check the mission recorder as usual and report the footage. Afeng and I will go to the cave to take a look. Okay, let's split up."
The woman made the final decision. After assigning the tasks, they went up the yellow mud slope with the young man code-named Afeng. They had looked up some information on the way here. This place was originally called Xiaoquan Mountain. Legend has it that there was a red fox who achieved enlightenment here. However, that was just a myth, so the two naturally did not believe it. In their perception, even the huge monster that flew by just now was a mutant species.
The two men walked across the pool of water and followed the clues from the informant. They soon found the cave behind the water curtain and went in amid the steam. They took out their portable flashlight to shine on the cave wall and saw the murals on it. They felt that they were a series of records of a person's life. The front parts were fine, but the content of the later parts about slaying demons and achieving enlightenment was absurd.
“Record all the paintings.”
The woman was holding the recorder and the man was turning on the light. As they were recording the pictures on the cave wall one by one into the instrument, there was a sudden noise from the man's communicator. Then, one of the sturdy men who stayed at the foot of the mountain to deal with the follow-up matters, spoke in a panic-stricken voice into the communicator.
"Captain, you'd better come down the mountain... Come and take a look yourself. The mission recorder seems to have a problem... We seem to have captured something abnormal in the footage... There seems to be an extra person in it."
