Chapter 11:
The old man and the young girl didn't care about the whispered conversation on the winter solstice.
The fat man next to them, the president of the Aso consortium, Aso Shanren, was looking around, his expression undiminished, as if he was worried that the black mist would come back to attack.
The man in the jacket looked at Lao Zheng from time to time with a wary expression.
The eyes of the winter solstice fell on the middle-aged man on the periphery holding the peach wood sword.
"The one with the sword seems to be Chinese?"
Lao Zheng was even more disdainful: "The man's name is Yin Huai, he is a second-hand dealer who sells cultural relics. I don't know where he learned some crooked skills, specializing in buying cultural relics from tomb robbers and reselling them to foreigners. It was released some time ago. Come out, it is also on our blacklist, this time following the Japanese into the mountain, what can be good!"
The winter solstice was surprised: "Are there any cultural relics on Changbai Mountain?"
Lao Zheng shook his head and his face became solemn: "There has been something unusual around here recently. We originally wanted to close the mountain, but the above felt that the situation was not serious enough, and the sudden closure of the mountain instead shocked the snake. The black fog you encountered just now is called sneaking Yaksha , not a ghost, but a spirit-devouring demon."
Influenced by anime, the Yaksha in the winter solstice impression is a very beautiful race, but these sneaky Yakshas are obviously not, they are even scarier than ghosts. He remembered what happened on the train, and told Lao Zheng about the death of the flight attendant.
Lao Zheng frowned and said, "Sneak yaksha can only be derived from places where there is a lot of resentment and demonic anger. Changbai Mountain has never been seen before, and they suddenly appear, which is already very unusual. According to you, there must be something else behind it. The reason may be that someone deliberately released these evil things and manipulated them all the way."
Hearing the heavyness in his words, the winter solstice couldn't help but get nervous: "Why should they be on this mountain now? Are we going to find them later?"
Lao Zheng sighed and whispered: "He Yu and Boss Long are the people of the General Bureau. If we knew they were coming, we would have waited two more days. We didn't get the news of them coming before we went up the mountain. A colleague was also lost."
The winter solstice was shocked: "Have you been staying on this mountain for many days?"
Lao Zheng is also very depressed: "It has been at least four or five days. I have been searching for the source of the sneaky Yaksha, but unfortunately I have no clue so far."
He shouldn't have talked so much about the winter solstice, but despite Lao Zheng's calmness in front of the Japanese, his heart was really suffocated, and he finally found an opportunity to pour it out.
That is to say, Lao Zheng is alone now. On the other hand, on the Japanese side, not only are there many people, but they also have ulterior motives. If you don't do it again and again, you will kill people directly, and by the way, even the winter solstice and Zhang Xing will be unlucky.
Anyway, barren mountains and wild ridges, who would know?
The Winter Solstice finally understood why Lao Zheng's tone was so heavy. What they had to face now were not only the elusive sneaking Yakshas, but also the Japanese with unknown purposes, and possibly even more mysterious and unpredictable forces.
Mom, I just quit my job and came out to play, why would I put up such a thing!
He is also a fat man. Compared to the ulterior motive president of the consortium in front of him, his original project manager who picks and chooses is really too cute. If he can go down the mountain safely this time, he must go back and hug the fat man for a few kisses.
At this moment, Yin Huai suddenly shouted in surprise: "Look, the road is open!"
Next to the originally dark forest, a path suddenly appeared at some point. It looked like it had been stepped on, and no one moved. It was Lao Zheng who went up to explore first, and then asked the Winter Solstice to wake Zhang Xing and follow him.
The man in the jacket asked Fujikawa Aoi: "How about I go to explore the way first?"
Fujikawa Aoi shook his head: "Follow them."
Two groups of people walked in the dark one after the other.
At the same time, the Winter Solstice is also whispering to Lao Zheng: "Where are we going?"
Lao Zheng said: "Go up this road until you can reach the top of the mountain. I made an appointment with my colleague to meet there, and we will go up first."
Zhang Xing's foot was swollen when he was fleeing for his life, and he limped when walking. Seeing her struggling to frown on the Winter Solstice, he said, "I'll carry you."
Zhang Xing was still a little hesitant. The Winter Solstice had already bent down and half-squatted in front of him, so Zhang Xing had no choice but to lie up and put his hands on his shoulders tightly.
The winter solstice suddenly remembered something: "Do you have anything on your body to ward off evil spirits?"
Zhang Xing was stunned: "What's wrong?"
Winter Solstice: "Those monsters will possess the human body. Why didn't you attack you when you were alone with Yao Bin?"
After he said this, Zhang Xing also felt that it was not necessarily a coincidence that she could escape from death. After thinking about it, she took out a necklace from her neck.
"This is the dzi bead that my mother brought me from Tibet, does that count?" Before she finished speaking, she sighed again, "Why does the dzi bead seem to be so dark!"
Winter Solstice breathed a sigh of relief, and somewhat understood: "It may have saved your life just now, you should take it well."
There was no moon in the sky, but distant lightning flashed the sky from time to time, torches burned fiercely as they passed, casting murky shadows, and the night wind rattled the leaves.
This should have been a frightening night, but seeing the young man's slender neck so close to him, and the body temperature of the other party faintly coming through the clothes under his palm, Zhang Xing suddenly wanted to cry.
"Thank you." She whispered.
The winter solstice didn't speak. He was afraid that if he opened his mouth, he would let out the breath he was holding, and he would fall down.
...because Zhang Xing is too heavy.
Having a physical blind date with a beautiful woman should have produced countless thoughts, but at the moment of the winter solstice, my mind is indeed full of thoughts that have nothing to do with the journey—
Fat Beef Flammulina Rice, Tomato Seafood Noodles, Charcoal Roasted Pork Neck, Crispy Char Siew Chee Fun…
Ah, so hungry.
The only bar of chocolate had long been consumed in his body, so he could only motivate himself with delicious food, from steaming chicken feet to shrimp dumplings, and then began to silently recite the ingredients in the mandarin duck pot.
At this moment, the winter solstice suddenly became dizzy.
He thought it was because he was too hungry and weak, but the dizziness became more and more serious, so that his feet were soft and he threw Zhang Xing directly to the ground.
It's the ground shaking!
The winter solstice finally reacted, and the others were also shocked and supported the trees next to them.
Lao Zheng looked up into the distance and blurted out, "Damn!"
The frequency of lightning is getting higher and higher, there is almost no dark interval, the top of the mountain is almost bright, but it is accompanied by more and more violent earth shaking, and the rumbling sound seems to come from the depths of the ground, containing the An inexplicable strange power, as if something was about to break through the ground, turned out.
Suddenly, a roar resounded, resounding through the heavens and the earth, everyone's ears were buzzing with the sound, and there was tinnitus for a while, and no other sounds could be heard at all.
Zhang Xing felt her eardrums tingling even more, so she couldn't help screaming and covered her ears, but she felt her hands were slippery, and her ears were actually bleeding.
Lao Zheng suddenly ran up the mountain like a madman, and his response to the onmyoji master and apprentice from Japan was also very fast. He followed closely, and soon he was almost in line with Lao Zheng. Fujikawa Aoi looked at the age of seventy years old. , actually ran faster than his apprentice.
The others didn't know what was going on and had to run after them.
At this time, they were not far from the top of the mountain, but the higher the mountain, the more severe the shaking of the mountain, the ground even had a tendency to crack, and the stone rolled down, although it was not big, it would break the head at any time if it hit a person. flow.
Fortunately, Lao Zheng ran all the way, whipping the whip all the way to turn a lot of stones into powder, and Fujikawa Aoi also released his shikigami to open the way in front, saving everyone a lot of trouble.
When approaching the top of the mountain, the ground was already shaking so that everyone could not walk at all, and everyone had to hold on to the thicker trees so as not to roll down with the stones.
Another roar!
This time, the movement was even louder than before. Even if he covered his ears in time, the sound still penetrated the palm of his hand and pierced into the eardrum and nerves, causing confusion in his mind and endless headaches.
"Dragon! The real dragon has appeared!" Yin Huai suddenly shouted, and laughed again, like a madman: "There really is a dragon, and it really is one of the great dragon veins here, I'm not wrong!"
The winter solstice endured the pain that his head was about to be cut open and looked up, only to see a tall and majestic figure rising into the sky, the shape of a dragon leaping and swimming in the thunder and lightning, gorgeous and dazzling, but full of beauty, after a while , it turned into smoke in the cloud, and slowly dissipated into the invisible, as if fighting with the heaven, until death.
However, the dragon's yin did not stop, and it still sounded from time to time with the thunder, but it was not as harsh as before.
Everyone had never seen such a fantastic and magnificent scene before, and they were all stunned for a while.
"It's over, it's over, the dragon corpse is born!" Only Lao Zheng's eyes were straight, and he murmured while staring at the front.
After the magnificent shock, looking at the mess in front of him, the winter solstice was stunned.
The original trees and rocks have completely disappeared, replaced by a huge Tiankeng, which at first glance is almost comparable to a small Tianchi.
Not only him, everyone was shocked by the deep pit that suddenly appeared, only Yin Huai was very excited, stumbled and ran to the edge of the pit, his eyes glowing, and he laughed: "As expected, I was right, Where there are dragon veins, there must be a real dragon!"
The shaking of the ground continued, but it was not as violent as before. Another lightning flashed across the sky. During the winter solstice, I found a person standing not far from the pit, blurred and unclear, but when everyone was busy pressing When the ground stabilized his figure, the man still stood firmly, as if the sky was torn apart and he was fearless.
"Who's there!" The other party turned his head and faced them.
It's Long Shen!
The winter solstice recognized his voice at once, and the inexplicable excitement made him almost shout out.
But Lao Zheng was ecstatic and answered faster than him: "Dragon Bureau, is that you? I'm Lao Zheng, from the Northeast Branch!"
