We came here this time to annihilate the Evil Spirit Cult. When we heard the news, we had no time to clean up the mess on the dining table, so Xiaoyao and Duoduo took the tiger cats and Xiaohei at home first.
And we followed the comrades who came to notify us and rushed towards the front finger not far away.
The villa where we stayed was not far from the warehouse, so we quickly arrived at the end of the field. When we walked inside, we saw that the hall was brightly lit, and the soldiers who had been training shirtless during the day were already fully armed and ready to go.
.
We didn't say much, and walked all the way to the frontline headquarters. There were still many people in the hall, and there were more people than we had seen before. People dressed in various colors were there, presumably for support.
Among these people, I unexpectedly saw Li Tengfei. This man was sitting in the corner with a gloomy face, looking indifferent as if no strangers should approach him. The touch was pinned to his waist, and he was stroking the hilt of the sword carefully, as if
Whisper with your lover.
At this moment, Li Tengfei no longer had the youthfulness and recklessness he had when he debuted, and all his edges and corners have been smoothed out, becoming a truly calm man. As soon as we came in, he looked up and just nodded slightly.
, but did not come forward to greet us. I saw the deep sadness in his eyes and the volcano-like anger, and I also knew that in this disaster, apart from him and the chief elder Li Zhaoxu, no one in Laojun Pavilion was present.
In addition to the people who survived the disaster on Qingcheng Mountain, more than a hundred people from the pavilion master Canghai Taoist on down all died in this battle. After such an encounter, everyone was not in the mood to greet each other, but nodded heavily to each other, and then said
Not much to say.
Neither Hong Anguo nor Yang Cao was qualified to attend the meeting, so they were left in the hall outside, while we were led to a small conference room nearby.
Pushing the door open, there were seven or eight people inside, led by the cold-faced deputy director of the Southwest Bureau.
Most of the people in the small conference room stood up and welcomed our arrival. The cold-faced deputy director also introduced us to everyone in the room. These are senior officials of the Religious Affairs Bureau, as well as top experts like us——
Among them was an old monk with a gray beard, Zen Master Dong Biao from Yuantong Zen Temple in Tiangongshan, Longyan, Fujian. He was also one of the top ten masters of the righteous path in the world.
After learning our identities, Zen Master Dongbiao stroked his beard and smiled, saying that he had always heard about the reputation of the two young friends, and now we have just met them. They are indeed the figures of heaven and humans, but it is a pity that we cannot hold hands and travel together.
.
This old monk's status is very high, so we don't dare to neglect him and hand him over again and again.
However, although his words were polite, I always felt that his attitude was neither salty nor warm, and not cordial. Then I thought about it. Rumor has it that among the younger generation, the two of them have been ranked among the top ten masters.
However, the so-called ranking has always been a carrot and a hole. If someone squeezes in, someone will naturally vacate it. Therefore, it is normal for Zen Master Dongbiao to test us.
However, these are trivial matters and cannot be discussed in detail. We soon entered the main topic of the discussion. I also understood why Zen Master Dongbiao said that he could not accompany us. It turned out that there was news from the front that he was going to Dafengding to investigate.
The two teams of the detective lost contact with the frontline headquarters at 8:30 and 9:40 at night respectively. After confirmation by local comrades, they should have been attacked, so the frontline commander needed to immediately organize a team of troops to the front.
We will conduct an investigation at the lost contact area in Dafengding. If we encounter evil spirit cult members, we will immediately exterminate them. The team has been assembled, but experts are needed to control the situation, so we have been called in.
As for Zen Master Dongbiao, he will go to the bottom of the Jinsha River with the large forces that are converging tomorrow, because the frontline headquarters has analyzed and calculated that the cultists entrenched there should be the large forces that attacked Qingcheng Mountain this time.
, when the time comes, Elder Deng and the rest of the troops from Maoshan will also go there.
The cold-faced deputy director asked us if we had any objections to this arrangement. I asked who would be in charge of this operation tonight?
The cold-faced deputy director pointed to a middle-aged man with a rosy face next to him and introduced us. He said that Lou Chao, the director of the first business department of the Southwest Bureau, was one of the few generals in the Southwest Bureau. This operation would be commanded by him.
Director Lou was in his forties or fifties, with bulging temples and sharp eyes. However, when we looked over, he still stood up, shook hands with us, and then said with some fear: "Originally, this time we should let
You are in command, but because it is mainly a joint operation between the Southwest Bureau and various sects, and there are also two squadrons of special forces that need to be coordinated, so..."
Faced with his concerns, Zamao Xiaodao and I both nodded and said that specific matters should be done by professionals and we should just obey the instructions. There is no problem with this.
Seeing that we did not express dissatisfaction, everyone in the venue breathed a sigh of relief. The cold-faced deputy director stood up and announced that the matter was urgent and time would not wait for me, so there was no need to say too much. The first batch of troops had already set off.
Okay, now that it has been determined, let's go. Remember, you must pay attention to safety.
Zamao Xiaodao and I left the small conference room. We didn't stay too long, but went straight back to where we stayed to pack our belongings. Not long after, someone came to pick us up. It was a very sturdy military Jeep Warrior, so as not to attract attention.
, I still called Xiaoyao and Duoduo into the locust tree sign. Only the little black dog and the tiger cat on the trail had nowhere to go, so they stayed in the car.
There were many people traveling with us, and there was a long queue, and Yang Cao, Hong Anguo and Li Tengfei squeezed into our car.
When I asked here, I learned that Li Tengfei had just recovered and came from the northwest. As for their chief elder Li Zhaoxu of Laojun Pavilion, that fat old man had already rushed to the front line at the bottom of the Jinsha River.
The Dafengding we are heading for spans three counties: Meigu County, Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture, Leibo County, and Mabian Yi Autonomous County, Leshan City. The main peak, Moro Wengjue, is more than 4,000 meters long, starting from Gongga Mountain and connecting to Tianfu Kingdom.
Xiongang Nantian, overlooking Emei, is a place with very complex terrain, and the transportation is not convenient. It was already early in the morning when we arrived at the scene of the incident. More than 200 people had settled in. However, because of their well-trained training,
There will be no hesitation, everyone performs their duties, and everything is orderly at the same time.
Someone from the vanguard was here to assist. They were very excited when they saw our large group coming. After Director Lou learned about the situation with these people, he knew that the exposed evil spirit cultists had not gone very far, so he decided to leave some people behind on the roadside.
Establish a communication base, while others hike into the mountains, and be sure to find those guys.
The personnel were quickly assigned, and Hong Anguo was ordered to stay here. As for Yang Cao and Li Tengfei, they went up the mountain with us, along with more than 20 elites from the Operations Division of the Southwest Religious Bureau, and the same number from various factions.
In addition to the supporting experts, there are also soldiers from four different special forces, a total of more than 180 people. Although Director Lou, who was in charge of this mission, was extremely respectful to us before, after entering the mountain,
He didn't care too much about our thoughts. Although he still held us high, he paid more attention to the opinions of the vanguard, whether it was tracking routes or strength distribution, and most of them made decisions with one word, showing his ability.
Come on the strong side.
We were walking in the middle of the mountain-searching team. On both sides were special warriors equipped with night vision equipment. They had been training and fighting in the mountains and forests all year round. They were all experts in jungle warfare, so the strength they displayed was quite astonishing.
There are many practitioners who have been investigated, and when they are equipped with modern weapons, they are even more feared than the practitioners.
All reactionaries are paper tigers. Indeed, in front of the state machine with its fangs exposed, quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes. Practitioners are actually far less powerful than we imagine.
It was late autumn, and we walked straight towards the mountains. We saw lush old trees, dense shadows, withered and broken trees, exhausted glory, ravines and ravines, dense peaks, steep rocks, and auspicious clouds. The mountain topography here was unpredictable.
, the fog was heavy late at night, making tracking very difficult.
Unknowingly, I followed the mountain road and came to a bamboo forest mixed in the rocks and cliffs. I listened carefully and found that there were many hibernating old snakes under the forest. In addition, there were some unusual smells.
.
Yang Cao told us that the Dafengding area belongs to the humid subtropical monsoon climate zone. The area is rich in species, including the famous national treasure giant panda. It is impossible to say that there is one here. This is a joke, but miscellaneous
Mao Xiaodao's face became more and more serious. He looked up and looked for the figure of the tiger cat who had already left for a while. He couldn't find it, so he said seriously: "The clouds are steaming, the fog is rough, the mother-in-law is whistling, and the spots are mottled... This place
It’s not simple, there are faint formation rules, I’m afraid there is an ambush!”
There are few false words on the Zamao Trail. Since he said this, he had something to say. Yang Cao immediately rushed to the front and found the commander of the trip, Director Lou, to talk about the matter.
Unexpectedly, Director Lou told Yang Cao that he had been to Daliang Mountain eleven times since he took office, and he had never heard of any formations here. Time was tight and there was no need to delay. Let's move on.
When Yang Cao came back, his expression was a bit bad. It was obvious that Director Lou and the others had said some unsavory words. From this point of view, Hong Anguo's reminder was not groundless. I looked around and found nothing.
Feeling something unusual, he asked Zamao Xiaodao if he was sure, because everything looked very ordinary now. Zamao Xiaodao shook his head and said no, the feeling here is really not good...
Before we finished speaking, our feet suddenly shook, the sky and the earth rumbled, and the mountain walls on both sides collapsed, falling directly down.
