At this time, Yang Di was equally surprised and secretly sighed that the background of these cultivation forces in this world was unfathomable.
I thought that the big Grandpa Taizu and the old antique from the Ji family were already top figures in their respective families, but they didn't expect that above them, there was an even more terrifying old guy sitting in charge.
Along the way, Elder Wu Qingfeng continued to use his magic search hexagram. The old man really didn't lie. The odds were so painful. He tried dozens of times in succession, but there was no response to any of the hexagrams.
The search for demons is very different from the general divination, because it targets evil spirits with moral principles, so it is more difficult.
Until noon, there was no result, and by this time, this group of people had already traveled a long way deep into the mountains.
After trying more than 300 times, Wu Qingfeng gradually began to feel some pressure, fearing that he would not be able to succeed even once a thousand times.
This not only wastes Yang Di's blood-restoring elixir, but also makes his face disgraceful in front of fellow Taoists and seniors.
In addition, at the military camp headquarters, there have been some differences between Ji Kaixiu and Brigadier Sun Hu. When news came, female agents Liu Xuan and Di Bo were also a little worried.
Brigadier Sun insisted on applying to his superiors to dispatch another brigade of soldiers, and together with the Black Fox Commando Brigade, they launched a blanket search of this primitive jungle.
But Ji Kaixiu opposed this resolution for two reasons. First, such a high-profile military mobilization can easily trigger speculation from the outside world. The actions of tens of thousands of soldiers will definitely be detected by satellites of other countries, and both are likely to be exposed internationally.
It caused waves and brought trouble to the authorities and the military.
Also, this approach is really irresponsible for the lives of soldiers. It is conceivable that if any team of people encounters a monster, the company will inevitably suffer heavy casualties.
The monster's speed, strength, perception, and attack power are all extremely variable. A battalion of soldiers may be killed within three minutes of encountering it. Within a hundred meters, even soldiers with outstanding physical fitness will be killed.
Even the chance of escaping was extremely slim.
If we carry out that kind of blanket search, it would be like asking soldiers to draw lots of death. No matter who they encounter and have made great achievements, I am afraid they will only be awarded the title of martyr.
Moreover, considering that it would take a certain amount of time for the powerful group of people who were encircling and suppressing the monsters to get to the scene of the incident, the casualties would be beyond imagination.
When the question came here, Yang Di didn't even think about it before he stood up and objected, saying angrily: "This is too unkind."
The monks knew very well how powerful that monster was. If ordinary people encountered it, there would be no second possibility except that it would die without a complete body.
As for firearms and bombs, they were like toys in front of the monster and could not provide the soldiers with the slightest protection.
It is good that soldiers must protect their families and country, but they should not be allowed to die in vain. Ordinary soldiers do not have the ability to stop the monster. Even if they find the ancient corpse, by the time they arrive, the monster may have disappeared.
.
The significance of such an arrangement is really worth debating. We shouldn’t insist on going our own way just because the monsters are harmful!
"It's not easy for all living beings, and we really shouldn't take lives in vain." Old man Wu Qingfeng nodded.
"That will kill a lot of people. You shouldn't do it rashly." The tall Taizu Grandpa Ao Yuan also objected.
The surrounding monks all agreed.
Seeing this scene, the female agents Liu Xuan and Di Bo were both slightly grateful. They glanced at someone and knew that it was actually him who had started it. The other monks unanimously supported him out of the intention of making friends.
"Director Ji, our seniors here are opposed to such a decision that is unjust." Liu Xuan then cleverly reported the situation to the headquarters via radio.
This is a clever form of pressure. As the protagonists of this operation, Lian Ji Kaixiu and his superiors must be more polite to these powerful men in the monastic world, because they need to be relied on to destroy the monsters.
"Okay! I understand, we won't take that kind of action. The main thing is aerial search. In addition, we have dispatched a group of unmanned reconnaissance aircraft to support and are expanding the scope." Ji Kaixiu responded in the headset, the deputy director
Maybe I don't know what happened here, but I am definitely feeling happy at this moment, and Brigadier Sun's face may look a little embarrassed. If these strong men object, the higher-ups will definitely be concerned and won't do this...
…
Although the military and the security bureau have not made any decision to invade for the time being, after an afternoon of searching, neither the air power nor Yang Di and the others on the ground have made any progress.
Gradually, it was getting late, and it seemed that we were destined to miss the period when the monster's combat power was relatively weakened. At night, the monster was definitely at full health, and it was so powerful that it was staggering.
Elder Wu Qingfeng has already conducted more than seven hundred fortune-tellings, but he still found nothing. Searching for the magic divination didn't work, and he didn't know where the monster was.
Unexpectedly, at this time, the strong man of the Ji family actually stood up. Ji Guan, the old man, looked a little embarrassed and chuckled lightly: "Elder Wu, there is no need to work hard. We have already sent the message back. At present, the Ji family
The life chart is on the way to bring it."
"Astrology chart?"
Hearing those words, the monks present all looked solemn and surprisingly serious, obviously knowing what kind of extraordinary thing it was.
"Haha, that's very good..." Elder Wu Qingfeng was a little embarrassed, but he knew how powerful the horoscope was, so he didn't insist on it and asked for trouble. He was just secretly a little annoyed that the Ji family was willing to use that important treasure.
Why didn't you tell me earlier? It would have made you look bad here.
"Sending a message? Could it be some kind of vast supernatural power? This place is probably thousands of kilometers away from Yanjing. The Ji family's Taoism is really extraordinary!" Yang Di sneered and laughed, teasing Ji Yifeng's third uncle.
When the monks around him heard this, they all had strange expressions on their faces. This guy was really evil. He knew the truth and still made fun of the Ji family.
"I think there shouldn't be any Taoist skills. A text message is all it takes. It's convenient and fast, and it can fly across the state." The big man Ao Xi said seriously. Ji Guan's expression was so broken by him.
It's getting more and more embarrassing.
Di Bo, Ye Shenyu, and Zong Xun are really out of temper. These two guys are really decent, and they don't understand the style at all.
The strong men of the Ji family over there were all made to see fire by the actions of these two guys. Originally, the horoscope would definitely surprise the colleagues present, and their faces would be doubled.
It was glorious, but after being teased by two boys, it completely changed its tone.
"Hmph! If you feel that the things from my Ji family are not good, we can just ask the visitor to go back, which will save you a lot of trouble." Ji Guan was more annoyed than anyone else and was already a little angry.
The ancestor of the Ji family looked cold, not only because he was targeting Yang Di, but also because he was dissatisfied with his descendants for being so uncool.
"Whatever, no one is forcing you." Yang Di spread his hands and said with a smile.
"You!" Ji Guan almost burst into tears and wanted to argue with him, but when he felt his ancestor's coldness, a chill suddenly came out of his back and he quickly stopped.
Ji Yifeng's third uncle realized that he was being led by this boy. The rhetoric just now not only failed to frighten all the fellow Taoists present, but also seemed a little petty and made people laugh.
After all, he is a monk who is over a hundred years old. It is indeed inappropriate to argue with a boy in his twenties. No wonder the ancestor is angry.
Realizing this, Ji Guan didn't dare to say that kind of convincing words anymore. He just glanced at Yang Di coldly, with a chill surging deep in his eyes.
The monks present did not take it seriously. They knew that the Ji family's life chart would still be sent to them, and there would be a solution by then.
"My dear fellows, you might as well take a rest and eat something before continuing to encircle and suppress the monster."
Liu Xuan thought for a while and then spoke up. Although she and Ji Kaixiu were eager to chase the ancient corpse, the pilots were also made of flesh and blood. They were already very tired from the early search until now. The headquarters had temporarily slowed down.
Taking action, they should take this opportunity to let these monks take a break.
The conditions in the barren mountains and ridges were simple and there was nothing to be picky about. Everyone found an open space to settle down among the woods and grass.
Naturally, food was flown in, and Ji Kaixiu didn't know what the monks liked to eat, so most of the food prepared for them these days was light food.
Yang Di took a lunch box and after opening it, he frowned a little. He looked at the female agent speechlessly and sighed: "Your boss, don't you think of us as monks? It's just no meat, don't even put some oil, all water."
I really don’t have any appetite if I cook it steamed.”
Female agent Liu Xuan's pretty face instantly turned red. They had arranged it like this these days, mainly boiled mushrooms, bamboo shoots, sea vegetables, melons and fruits. They didn't even dare to add salt for fear that the monks wouldn't get the fishy taste.
I thought this was very clever, but now that she heard someone complaining, Liu Xuan suddenly felt a little ashamed for the Security Bureau, making them seem stingy.
However, then Liu Xuan rolled her eyes and comforted herself in her heart, thinking that this guy must be of low moral character, so he still had a strong taste, and those strong and strange people didn't say anything.
The monks around did not say anything, but it was not because of this, but because of face, they were too embarrassed to be serious about the food.
In fact, the monks of the current generation, except those who live in seclusion in blessed places and mountains, and those who are often in contact with the outside world, have abandoned the way of "avoidance and ascetic cultivation" and have developed methods of cultivation that are closer to modern society.
Doing so will indeed have a certain impact. Taoism emphasizes keeping the breeze on one's sleeves and not causing dust. However, after a long period of evolution, the ancient cultivating families and Taoist sects have developed methods to avoid this drawback to the greatest extent.
Between ascetic cultivation and worldly cultivation, many practitioners have chosen the latter. They would rather have their cultivation path affected to a certain extent, but also want to be a relatively normal person.
This can be regarded as an evolution of monasticism towards the modern trend. The monks present came from ancient cultivating families and Taoist sects. In fact, except for the two old antiques, Grandpa Taizu and the ancestor of the Ji family, after they began to practice hard in seclusion, they
After returning to the path of Qing Dynasty, other people, including Wu Qingfeng and Tian Chengzi, and even the two elders of the Jiang family and Tantai family, still adhere to the habits of normal people.
