Chapter 57: The lingering ghost

Why is their village like this? Master seems to understand very well. It turns out that Master has been pretending to be stupid. I let out a sigh of relief. I feel that as long as Master understands things, everything will be much simpler. But I don’t understand why Master

Knowing so much, why set up a dry tobacco bureau against this old man?

Compared with the "cunning" attitude of Master sometimes, I feel that I am just an honest child.

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 poor."

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 hands.

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 devour evil spirits and are omnipotent. How much do you know about the situation in our village? You need to go to our village.

Comment on 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. I couldn't tell the chill in my heart. At this time,

, Shahu suddenly fell into a deep sleep again, but I received a relatively clear thought - things are going well!

This thought made my face look weird. I'm sure it didn't come from Tao Tongzi, but from Silly Tiger. When did it become so "ghostly"? Even one sentence conveyed endless helplessness and bitterness. It felt like

Endless emotion, there is nothing I can do about it.

The veins on my forehead were throbbing, because I had always regarded Silhu as my 'brother', and he actually taught me a lesson. I began to miss the dull Silhu who couldn't even express simple emotions clearly.

.

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. In this awakening, facing such a dangerous situation, although it was afraid

, but he 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 "Shan Hai Jing", one of the four ferocious beasts, was also canonized as a god. In addition, there are some vague records in some 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 once asked my master and discussed whether these really existed. However, my master told me with a deep look: "In fact, we in China have experienced many hardships, and there have been gaps in our culture.

There are many very precious documents that even I, the Taoist school, have not preserved. I can only tell you that what is recorded in ancient books is not necessarily the case.

Of course, what it contains includes the meaning of imaginary supplement, the meaning of personal thoughts, and the meaning of vagueness by misinformation. You can refer to it, but do not believe it. Moreover, not only China, but also human beings have a cultural gap, that is, human beings

There was a rapid process of evolution, and it took hundreds of thousands of years before modern humans appeared? It’s just speculation, so 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 all kinds of 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? Kunlun, Penglai, Tanshe, if Qiongqi appears again, it will at most make me numb. Moreover, Qiongqi is not like Tanshen, who appears like an entity, but obviously looks like a spirit body. What if it is

As for the spirit bodies, nothing is strange about them. Even Hadron has summoned a two-faced god before. I don't think about their origins, I simply see them as energy bodies, and my heart feels calm.

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.

Lu. 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, and 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.

Unexpected things like the Dragon King Temple happened.

"Sun Qiang." My master answered simply.

But the old man frowned, his face suddenly darkened, and he said: "There is no such person in this mountain. Why don't you just make up a name to deceive me? You go, for the sake of friendship over a bag of tobacco leaves."

Come on, I won't make things difficult for you. Otherwise, just because you are talking nonsense and you seem to know about the village, I should put you in jail."

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 bother us because of a bag of tobacco leaves.

How could Master and I leave like this? Besides, he said that there was no Sun Qiang in the village, so why weren’t we worried? I once said that Qiangzi was my brother, and from a certain point of view, Sun Qiang was my Master’s nephew.

That's right, he said so, and we wanted 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 his words, the old man was interrupted by the noisy noise coming from the town.

The so-called noisy noise is just the sound of cars driving into the town, plus the noise of people. Originally, there was nothing strange about it, but it was not the sound of a car, but the sound of a motorcade.

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.

Not only did the old man's face turn ugly at this movement, but Master and I were also attracted to it. After all, although this is the foot of the mountain, the terrain here stretches upwards, and we can clearly see the situation in the town from this position.

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 recruits.

Such a small town, not even a place that can be called a big village because of the relatively concentrated residents, suddenly seemed crowded when a large vehicle like this drove in.

But the people in the car were not soldiers, but people wearing black shirts, black trousers, 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 as if they were facing a formidable enemy gave me an instinctive intuition that these people were interested in the people in these cars.

It must not be unfamiliar.

I suddenly remembered the words of the concierge, saying that this town is so popular. Foreigners often come to investigate and so on? Could it be that when I looked carefully again, my expression changed. Those people wearing masks

Of course I'm not familiar with it, and I don't know the people on the modified tent off-road vehicle either.

But I am so familiar with that car, because I once saw the same car that was 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 car was sitting on

The person is Yang Sheng, and there is also the dignified Saint King

How twists and turns will this escape route take? Even if it's a coincidence, it can still make me realize what a haunting feeling is. I don't think the car has been modified to have the same shape, it's just a simple 'popular' modification.

There is no connection, and I can't even convince myself.

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...

The turmoil brought about such an era."

He spoke in a very low voice that only I could hear. Before I could say anything, I heard the old man gritting his teeth and cursing: "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 for the people in this town to have contact with the people in these cars. He must also know something? Why do you 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.
