Bu Tian Gang

Go forward and "walk" out of this chaotic jungle, and you can "see" a small road. The road is the simplest dirt road in the village, more like it has been stepped on thousands of times by humans. It is muddy and difficult to walk, but the winter solstice is not too difficult. Deep feeling, after all, he has no entity now, and if he moves forward, with a wider field of vision, he can "see" the smoke of the village in the distance, and a nearby, abrupt and conspicuous village.

The stockade stands on the edge of the water, just across the water from those villages, but the villagers on the other side of the water are very careful even when fetching water from the river, and dare not go half a step beyond the thunder pond.

Winter Solstice "looked" in a daze for a few times, then set his eyes on the house in front of him, and drifted into the house according to his own mind.

The light dimmed.

The dark-skinned young man knelt before a middle-aged man and listened to the teaching.

They communicated in the local language, so Winter Solstice naturally couldn't understand, so he turned to "look" at the surrounding furnishings.

There are everything that can be called weird here. Skeletons and animal skulls of different sizes are hung on the wall, and there are messy talisman papers on them. Ghostly symbols that are similar to runes are drawn. Dong Zhi carefully identified it and found that it was not at all. It's not a talisman of the Chinese lineage, I can't understand it at all, there are quiveres of colorful feather arrows on the table, and there are rows of urns in the corner, there are three or four rows at a glance, and there are at least a dozen in each row , tall, short, fat, thin, and everything, although I don't know what is inside, but somehow it will make people have bad associations.

Anyway, I couldn't understand what they said, so Dongzhi didn't stay long, and drifted to another room from the passage behind the door.

Same gloom.

The furnishings are similar with minor differences.

The difference is that there are more heads on the messy table.

The head half hidden in the darkness, the cheeks are still moving, like a living person.

There was still a mass of quivering flesh on the ground, but upon closer inspection it turned out to be a fat person, holding a rag in her hand, and was wiping the floor up and down.

At this time, the head actually spoke.

"Ugly woman, I feel disgusted when I see you, get out!"

The woman's plump body trembled, as if she wanted to get up, but in the end she knelt on the ground and shivered.

Before the winter solstice got closer, the middle-aged man from the front room came in.

Under the orders of the other party, the woman finally got amnesty and crawled back, while the middle-aged man started to communicate with Ren Tou, still speaking very fast. After a while, the two seemed not to be having a good conversation, and Ren Tou began to express anger. The middle-aged man snorted coldly, but instead of arguing with him, he walked towards the back of the room instead.

At this time, Che Bai's voice was no longer in his ears. Based on his intuition, Dong Zhi felt that he wanted to follow the middle-aged man instead of staying here, so he followed closely behind, passing through a road behind the middle-aged man. In the corridor, we came to a hut with no light at all.

He kind of understands the spell that Che Bai used on himself, it's a bit like "clairvoyance", following the aura of the head-down master who lowered his head, he directly traced him to his lair, so now he is like a mass of illusory Consciousness has no substance, nor is it a soul.

This kind of magic that traces the origin of thousands of miles is naturally extremely powerful. So far, although Winter Solstice cannot identify who is the one who lowered his head because of the language barrier, he has already obtained enough information.

In the hut, the middle-aged man who was arrogant and calm in front of the young people and the head turned into a little sheep in a blink of an eye, kneeling before the altar, even speaking in a reverent tone, sitting in the dark , with his eyes slightly closed, but the middle-aged man didn't even dare to lift his head, and spoke softly, with his forehead touching the ground, for fear of disturbing the other party.

Most of the time, it is the middle-aged people who are talking, and the person in the dark occasionally responds with a sentence or two. His tone is very strange. There is an invisible barrier that prevents the winter solstice from moving forward.

But Dong Zhi was not reconciled. He had a premonition that this person must be a very important person, maybe related to the head-down master, or even related to the legendary demon, so he tried his best to use his consciousness to break through that barrier and get closer. Observe that man.

The barrier was like plasticine with excellent elasticity. He tried his best to move forward, but he was always ejected violently. However, after repeated defeats and repeated battles in Winter Solstice, he silently recited the Bright Light Mantra in his heart, and finally tore a hole in the barrier, and "the whole person" rushed forward. go in.

The man suddenly opened his eyes!

Dong Zhi looked at the other party's eyes looking straight at him, and couldn't help being startled, thinking that the other party might have discovered him.

At this moment, he had already seen the man's face clearly, but it was not the strange face he had seen in his dream, but an ordinary middle-aged face with traces of the well-maintained past. But now this face is already black and blue, like a ghost, and it looks familiar.

Then he heard the man laugh coldly and speak Chinese that he could understand.

"Look, you brought guests in, and you don't even know how to entertain them!"

The middle-aged man looked up in a daze, obviously unable to see the existence of the winter solstice.

The man in the darkness stretched out a hand, pointing towards the winter solstice.

"Where is he."

During the winter solstice, the middle-aged man did not stop doing anything, before the middle-aged man was ordered to have an attack, he directly "bumped" at that person in the dark.

His speed was extremely fast, and his castration was swift and violent. At that moment, he quickly and silently recited the curse of attracting thunder, thinking that if his consciousness could also attract thunder, then a thunderbolt should come and kill this person directly, but at this moment, his ear A sneer suddenly sounded from the side.

The laughter was more eerie than just now. It was cold and devoid of human spirit, as if the ice and snow covering the rotting corpses in the depths of the primeval forest on a winter night were pouring down on your head, piercing your bones, and the winter solstice felt your "eardrums" throbbing and hurting. , the "body" seemed to be blocked by something, he was only a short distance away from the other party, but he could no longer move forward. He guessed that his body might react accordingly, but he couldn't care so much at the moment, and he silently recited over and over again Inducing the Thunder Curse, and that cold laughter has never stopped, echoing repeatedly in all directions, lingering, and getting closer and closer.

"You are so bold. I didn't look for you, but you came to me instead. Why don't you just stay!"

The last word "ba" was like spitting out his mouth to his ears, like a hammer hitting his heart heavily, Dong Zhi's consciousness was blurred and weak for a while, he couldn't recite the thunder spell anymore, and was almost led away by him like this.

But soon, Che Bai's voice sounded from above.

"Om!"

Morning bells and evening drums, Sanskrit sounds wash the dust, all the turbidity is swept away, the mind is greatly shaken, and the chaos returns to clarity!

This is the first mantra in the six-character Da Ming mantra. It is said that Guan Yin Bodhisattva bestowed this mantra on ordinary people, so that ordinary people can cleanse their minds and banish the sound of demons when they practice hard in the world. Damage, so that all diseases are eliminated, karma is quiet, and all evil spirits have retreated since then.

Dong Zhi clearly saw the man's complexion change, and the pressure that imprisoned him was immediately cleared.

"It turned out that the rescuers were brought in, no wonder they were confident!"

The man sneered again, but Dong Zhi had no time to listen. His consciousness was quickly pulled back by a force, and he escaped from that house, that village, and retreated from the dense forest.

Dong Zhi's body shook violently, and blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth, but this time it was not black, but normal bright red blood.

He slowly opened his eyes, saw Long Shen, and also saw Che Bai sitting across from him.

"The car bureau?"

Che Bai also opened his eyes and looked at him: "How do you feel?"

Winter Solstice said: "There is a tightness in my chest."

Che Bai said: "This is normal. You just confronted the celestial demon. Even if that celestial demon has not been fully revived, it is still a legendary celestial demon. Just now you only have a sliver of consciousness, and you can't even be called a soul. You rashly used lightning Curse, it can't attract thunder at all, it will only catch fire in the end."

Dong Zhi felt ashamed and said, "I was reckless, thank you to the traffic bureau for saving me."

Che Bai said: "You're not wrong. I didn't tell you what to do just now. I just wanted to sneak up on the Heavenly Demon when it wasn't expecting. Otherwise, if you were mentally prepared, he would be alert. It's just..."

He sighed: "My strength is not as good as before. In the end, I still can't resolve your lowering head. I can only temporarily suppress it so that you don't attack it for a period of time. It can treat the symptoms but not the root cause. If you want to solve this problem completely, you guys You can only find the head-bending master who descended for you. The demon has not yet formed, and now he was injured by me, so he should not recover so quickly in a short time."

Long Shen said: "You have bought us enough time."

Dong Zhi sincerely said: "Thank you to the traffic bureau, I thought I was going to die, thank you for your hard work!"

Che Bai waved his hands and smiled tiredly. He looked obviously much older than before, and the lines around his eyes became deeper.

"Don't say that you have a special meaning to Longshen. Even if you are just an ordinary member of the Special Administration Bureau, if you can do your best, I will do my best."

Dong Zhi suspects that he has seen the relationship between Long Shen and himself, but Che Bai seems to have only said a bland sentence.

Watching Che Bai go back to rest, the winter solstice couldn't hide his uneasiness.

"Master, the car bureau won't affect your body because of me, right?"

Long Shen shook his head: "No one in the world can live forever, and the same is true for spirits. Life and death reincarnation, the car board just reached that threshold, and it has nothing to do with you."

Ever since Dong Zhi learned of Che Bai's true identity, he subconsciously regarded the branch chief as a walking ancient tree, extremely precious, and he couldn't help but sigh after hearing this.

Seeing that he still had time to worry about others, Long Shen smiled.

"The car bureau has fought for us for a while now. We must use this time to find that head-removing master. What did you see just now?"

Winter Solstice described the jungle and the village he saw. He has a good memory, and he also draws pictures. The description is very vivid and he can remember it all at once.

"That stockade should be the lair of the head-down master, and that head-down master is respectful to the demon, and must have a deep relationship with him... I remembered, that man should be Hong, the gold master of the female star Han Qi." Rui, and that fat woman should be Dong Qiaolan, Han Qi's former manager, I've seen them in photos before, and they really have something to do with Heavenly Demon!"

Speaking of this, he frowned: "It's strange to say that the man I saw in my dream last time had a shaved head and was very young and beautiful. Why does the demon look like Hong Rui again this time? Could it be that the demon is the same as the human demon?" , can you wear different human skins?"

Long Shen said: "The Heavenly Demon has not yet fully revived and formed. What you saw in the dream was the real form of his consciousness, but what you saw just now should be that he temporarily borrowed Hong Rui's body, probably for the convenience of doing things. Bar."

Winter Solstice was very surprised. He didn't expect such a monster with evil nature to have such a beautiful appearance.

Long Shen seemed to see what he was thinking, and said: "The demons are invisible and colorless, but in order to confuse the world, they will naturally give birth to a body that the world loves, so that more believers will fall into the demonic barrier. Although the demons have not yet formed , but it can even fight against cars in the air, so it can be seen that the day of resurrection is not far away, once the demon is resurrected, wherever it goes will become a hell on earth."

It is not necessary for the devil to kill people by himself. It can confuse people, manipulate human minds, and use human hands to do what it wants to do. Qi set up a trick, playing with human life in the palm of his hand, unscrupulous and omniscient.It is true that Han Qi also has weaknesses. If she is not greedy for fame and wealth, she would not be taken advantage of by Hong Rui, but everyone has weaknesses. If someone likes honey today, it will turn poppies into honey It is tempting to become addicted and unable to stop. If someone has an evil thought tomorrow, under the influence of the devil, the evil thought will expand unconsciously, and eventually make people do crazy things.

In the final analysis, everyone has demons in their hearts. It only depends on whether they can stick to their original intentions and prevent evil thoughts from gaining the upper hand. However, it is easy to say, but many people in the world cannot do it.

Although the downfall of the winter solstice was temporarily suppressed, they still face a big problem now.

Once you go abroad, the name of the Special Administration Bureau is not very useful. What's more, Southeast Asia is a place where you can usually travel without hindrance. Once you want to do something serious, various forces converge, and it is bound to be difficult. In some armed separatist areas, I'm afraid that even the local government's name is not easy to use.

Under such circumstances, looking for an anonymous black-robed head-destroyer is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack. Long Shen has asked the white-robed head-destroyer association to help, but it is impossible to find anything in a while. He didn't want to say these things out and make Dongzhi even more troublesome, so Dongzhi naturally wouldn't ask. He tried his best to be as calm as possible and didn't put any pressure on Long Shen.

Since the last time the underground stele was unearthed, the Northwest Branch Bureau has been very lively for a while. Now that the seal of the stele has been strengthened and people have been sent to guard it, the manpower has been dispatched to other places to find the stele. It's a good thing, but the bustle means accidents. There are cars sitting in the town for nothing, and the branch office is peaceful, and there is no need for Long Shen, the deputy director general from the headquarters, to inspect and supervise. Long Shen has long been used to the busy days in the headquarters. I'm not used to it.

During the winter solstice, he proposed to go to the History Museum. In fact, he has already been to Xi’an, and the museum is naturally a must-see for art students. However, since he became a practitioner, he can’t help but think of antiques when they look like they were refined. , although he was not able to witness the moment when his master transformed into form, looking at other ancient swords made up for his regret a little.

Long Shen shook his head and said he didn't want to go.

Those utensils are naturally rare treasures in the eyes of ordinary people, but in Long Shen's view, for various reasons, they no longer have the chance to transform into human forms, and it is useless to see them too much, but it will only increase embarrassment.

Dong Zhi held his master's slender palm with well-defined joints, feeling like he couldn't get enough of this hand.

"Then is there any place you want to go? Big Wild Goose Pagoda? Forest of Steles? Or Furong Garden?"

Long Shen thought for a while and said, "Let's go to the snack street."

Snack Street, regardless of spring, summer, autumn and winter, holidays or not, can best reflect the food habits of the people of the whole country, because it is full of bustling scenes all year round. Winter Solstice thought that Long Shen would not like this kind of place, but he did not expect him He even offered to come.

The two ate dumplings in sour soup from spicy soup, and ate a few skewers of barbecue during the winter solstice. Not to mention a roast chicken, he probably would have eaten up this snack street.

Long Shen offered to come, but he himself didn't eat much, so the two found a place to sit down, watching the noise of people everywhere, the white smoke rising, and they couldn't hear what each other was saying if they didn't speak too loudly.

In the midst of the bustle, Long Shen's expression was peaceful and calm. He didn't care what to eat, and he didn't care whether it was noisy or not. It seemed that he was more interested in the crowd than in the food itself.

Seeing this, Winter Solstice joked: "Master, are you here to see people?"

Long Shen really nodded.

Seeing the fireworks in the world, the various states of the world, seeing the joy, anger, sorrow and joy of all beings, and truly feeling those fresh lives are precious existences that he needs to protect.Although there are countless darkness in this world, which often discourages the weak-willed and weak, but as long as one person puts in the effort, even if it is like Jingwei filling the sea, Kuafu chasing the sun, it cannot be said that the world is hopeless.

Winter Solstice's heart trembled slightly.

For some reason, he now understands Long Shen's thoughts more and more. With the other's look or a word, he can understand the other's implication and what is in his heart.

In fact, Long Shen has never been difficult to understand, he can even be called pure and simple, but no one has ever been willing to patiently understand him, and he has never stopped to wait for others to understand.

By chance, Dongzhi became this person.

Not only because Dong Zhi was willing to take the initiative, but also because Long Shen was willing to open his heart to him and let him understand.

The man he loves has great love in his heart, responsibility on his shoulders, and eyes that can hold the whole world.

At this time, it would be too small to care about what is more important in the world or me, but he still joked: "Then am I a small responsibility attached to Master?"

Long Shen lowered his head, looked at the interlocking hands of the two men, and suddenly smiled.

"You are my petty waywardness."

Responsibility is the imprint deep in the bone, and willfulness is the free will from the heart.

The winter solstice was dazed, and the hot feeling spread from the neck immediately, like just drinking a bowl of Hu spicy soup, the fever in the stomach, but when it spread to every pore, the whole body felt comfortable.

He used to see Long Shen as indifferent and severe, but he didn't know that such a person was the most terrible thing to provoke, every sentence could poke the softest part of his heart, take root and sprout, and he could never pull it out again.

"Master, when did you change your mind towards me and realize that... it's more than a master-student relationship?"

After the huge shock a few days ago, he began to calm down slowly. This question lingered in his mind for a long time, not because he felt that Long Shen might mistake sympathy for love, but because he was curious and puzzled.

If it was said that it was that night on the beach that Long Shen had an impromptu idea, it would definitely be impossible.

Long Shen talks less and often does more, but every time he does something, he always considers the result of his decision. He is by no means an impulsive person.

But if not that night, then when?

Thinking about it carefully, there was a period of separation between their master and apprentice. During that time, Winter Solstice experienced many things in Lucheng, and saw Long Shen's past from the illusion derived from Changshoujian, and his mood changed a lot.

But what about Long Shen?

Long Shen thought for a while, then shook his head: "I don't know."

Facing his vaguely expectant but instantly dim eyes, Long smiled deeply.

"I have something there, go back and show it to you, I can't explain it clearly."

As soon as the voice fell, Dongzhi's cell phone rang.

The caller's name displayed on the phone was Chen Guoliang.

Dong Zhi raised his eyebrows and looked at Long Shen, who motioned for him to pick it up.

Pressing the answer button, Winter Solstice said with a smile: "Master Chen, you are planning to go to the mainland to develop business again, so you should report to me in advance?"

"No, no!" Chen Guoliang laughed. He will definitely not go to the mainland in three to five years. I'm afraid that this master will think of it and arrest him for ideological education. "It's good news. Last time you The person who asked me to pay attention, I found out!"

Dong Zhi sat up straight all of a sudden: "Qi Rui?!"

After Han Qi's accident, they had investigated Qi Rui in Winter Solstice. She is the best friend of Han Qi's former manager Dong Qiaolan, and the person who is most likely to know the whereabouts of Dong Qiaolan and Hong Rui. Once she was in debt, she ran to Xiangjiang to hide her debts, and she has not been there since then. Dongzhi guessed that Qi Rui might have gone to Macau to avoid the limelight. There are casinos there, and she can satisfy her hobbies by the way. Rui news.

Now Chen Guoliang called, but said that he knew Qi Rui's whereabouts.
