Bu Tian Gang

There is not much time left for them.

Dong Zhi raised his head and glanced ahead, he could see the tall mountains in the distance. Not far ahead, he and Liu Si had to get off the car and walked halfway around the mountain before entering the canyon. He could only speed up the progress of reading notes.

August [-]th, Beijing.

Yinchuan returned, the monsters were wiped out, and Fujikawa and his party were detained pending trial. I plan to exchange him for Dong Jilan.

But I also know that Dong Jilan is likely to be more ill than good.

Although I have lived for so many years and I have witnessed many regrets with my own eyes, I still remember Dong Jilan's fearlessness before leaving. Several years ago, I went to see him off. Years, maybe never come back.

Every time I enter the martyrs cemetery, I can see the solemnity and solemnity on the faces of those newcomers.Although human beings are small and weak, there is always a noble brilliance shining in them. They are willing to sacrifice for their beliefs, and this belief may not only be for human beings, but also for other species, or for all species.

It is this kind of character that allows human beings to be above all living beings even though they have many flaws.

August [-]th, Beijing.

He Yu and Wang Chaosheng knew about my apprenticeship, and they kept asking endlessly. I told Wang Chaosheng that according to his performance, the bonus deducted from He Yu could be added to him appropriately, and then he went to pester He Yu up.

Get rid of two people at once.

On August [-]th, I overheard a conversation between He Yu and Winter Solstice.

He Yu asked the winter solstice, do you sometimes feel that I am too strict?

I don't think I am strict. People say that master and apprentice are like father and son. From a certain point of view, it is a kind of responsibility. I have the responsibility to be responsible for his life. The best way is to be strict and prevent him from making mistakes. In order not to lose their lives in actual actions.Dongzhi's starting point is lower than others. If he really wants to enter this industry, he has to face reality.

I thought that Winter Solstice would say some innocuous words out of sympathy, or complain to He Yu, but his answer was beyond my expectation.

He said that I am a very gentle person, all the harshness is only for the sake of others, because he saw me feeding a stray cat, and said that I was more like a rambutan, which seemed to be covered with long thorns, but those thorns But it is soft. When you peel off the hard shell, you can find the sweet and soft meat inside.

I have eaten rambutan, and it is indeed like what he described, but I don't think I am like what he described.

But eavesdropping is impolite. Even though it was unintentional, I'm not going to bring it up with him.

On August [-]th, the arrangements for this year's newcomers have been confirmed, and they will go to various places soon.

There are a lot of people left this year, each with their own strengths. This is good news. After all, the waves of the Yangtze River push forward the waves of the past, and the Special Administrative Bureau will eventually pass it on from generation to generation.

August 31, farewell.

The winter solstice bought me a box of moon cakes, saying that he would not be with me during the Mid-Autumn Festival, so he would celebrate the festival with me first.

In fact, I have never had any festivals. When He Yu and the others didn't come, I spent every year at work. After the second group was formed, I sometimes celebrated the Spring Festival with He Yu and the others, but only for a meal together. I still can't understand human beings' obsession with reunion. Maybe I have seen too many partings. A person's life is just a gathering and parting for me.

But the winter solstice told me, Master, this box of mooncakes represents my heart, I hope you will be fulfilled and happy every year in the future.

Suddenly I was moved.

I think I'll remember every word he said until... the end of my life, right?

On September [-]st, the skin of Cantonese-style mooncakes is too thick, and I still prefer the thin-skinned Soviet-style mooncakes.

But this is the first gift from the first apprentice, let's finish it.

After writing this sentence, I realized that I also started to pay attention to some unnecessary forms?That's not good.

On September [-]th, before the winter solstice left, he left me a painting and a sketchbook, both of which were drawn by him.

In the sketch book are the places he has been to in recent years, including scenery and people. He even turned me into a cat eating during my daily work, He Yu lying on the sofa playing games, and Zhong Yuyi sitting at the dining table The appearance of wandering mind is drawn.

Before going out, I injected my soul into the Changshou sword, so that I could detect his dangerous situation at any time. I knew that this was not good. Letting the young eagles fly should not leave him room to retreat in order to fully grow, so I didn't tell him.Just think of it as something a master can do for his disciples.

On September [-]th, Otowa Hatohiko's identity may have other secrets.

On September [-]th, Yin Yu may have set up a bureau, which may be related to the stone tablet.

Temporarily unresolved, to be investigated.

On September 22, the pot of Yulu was infused with life by me. To some extent, I have a connection with it, and I can hear the sound it recorded, but I would rather not listen to it on a whim.

Seeing this, Dong Zhi couldn't help but let out a silent breath.

Many mysteries that lingered in his mind were solved.

The sudden brake caused the two people in the back seat to lean forward involuntarily. With the driver's ouch, Dong Zhi looked up and found that the sky had darkened at some point, the wind was blowing sand and gravel everywhere, and the big raindrops fell quickly , smashed on the window glass, making a loud bang bang.

The driver was a soldier and a local, and he was familiar with the road conditions. Liu Si asked him, "Master, is this weather common?"

"It's very rare, and I rarely see such a strong wind." The driver was a little worried, and the speed slowed down, but the rain became heavier and heavier, and soon developed into a torrential rain. The road was muddy and the connection performance was excellent. His jeep also got stuck in the mud and broke down.

As a last resort, the three had no choice but to go down to push the cart. Liu Si asked the driver to start it in front, and the two of them pushed behind. After working hard for a long time, they finally pushed the cart out of the mud pit. Even if you yell and yell face to face, you may not be able to hear what the other person is saying, but not only the rain, but also the wind hangs like no money, the sky and the earth are blurred, and the wipers are no longer working. This storm is over.

But Dong Zhi and Liu Si both saw something unusual in the sudden rainstorm.

This place is not far from the destination, and they don't know whether the rare sudden change in the weather is also related to Long Shen's situation on their side.

Drenched back to the car with the heater on, the three of them shivered.

Dong Zhi took a clean towel, instead of wiping his hair first, he wrapped his notes up to avoid getting wet. Seeing this, Liu Si thoughtfully handed him a towel.

The car could not be driven, they could only wait for the weather to clear up, no matter how anxious they were, Liu Si chatted with the driver, Dong Zhi put a layer of towel on his knees, opened the notebook again, and turned to the top The page I didn't read for the first time.

……

On October [-]th, in Southeast Asia, it is very likely that someone is brewing a conspiracy related to monsters.

On October [-]th, the winter solstice may fall.

Through injecting the spirit of Changshoujian, I saw a man's body trying to invade his body through the dream. It should be an unformed monster, but the demonic energy is far stronger than the ones I have come into contact with before.

On October [-]th, Shanghai International Conference, originally I didn't have to go, but I offered to go there.

On October [-]th, Wu Bingtian became a little anxious, and he proposed to go directly to Japan to kill Otowa Hatohiko.

The origin of Otoyu has not been found out yet, so I don't agree to act rashly.

On October [-], there was another quarrel.

I don't deny that Wu Bingtian's opinion has some truth. Getting rid of Yin Yu can indeed solve most of the problems, but it is impossible for the other party to be unprepared. Maybe he is waiting for us to send him to the door.

On October 22, the winter solstice was more problematic than I thought it would be.

But I suddenly found that the previous anger is no longer a problem at this moment.

As long as he can live well.

……

Winter Solstice found that the records related to himself ended here, and Long Shen did not add any new content later, until the conversation with Zong Ling before departure, which was recorded by Long Shen.

Perhaps at that time, he already knew that his notebook might be seen by Dongzhi.

Although the relationship has not been paid and cannot be compared by depth, but before seeing this notebook, Dongzhi also thought about whether Long Shen accepted his confession because of the factors that his own life and death were uncertain at that time, and there was not much time left. After finishing the notes, he no longer had any doubts in his mind.

Holding this notebook in his hand was like holding a heavy heart.

I don't know when the rain stopped, and the car was on the road again, but the road conditions were not good, and the master drove very slowly.

Seeing that he had closed and put away the notebook, Liu Si asked, "Don't read it?"

Winter Solstice rubbed his eyes: "It's over."

Liu Si looked ahead and frowned slightly: "We have to get out of the car and walk."

The winter solstice also found out that the road ahead was muddy and dangerous, and the car couldn't go on at all.

The two bid farewell to the driver and got out of the car.

This place is not far from the Nalingele Canyon, but because this place is not an open scenic spot, and there are basically no people, the road is very rough and difficult to walk. You need to go up to the middle of the mountain, and then go down obliquely. For ordinary people, it is estimated that you have to walk They stayed for a few days and nights, but Dong Zhi and Liu Si were practitioners after all. They left most of their luggage in the car, only water and dry food, and traveled lightly, and soon climbed halfway up the mountain.

But the terrifying and changeable weather struck again, this time it was not a downpour, but hail the size of a fist.

The dark clouds above the head condensed into a ball, and the hailstones fell one after another. The two hurriedly pulled up the hats behind the down jackets, but the hailstones hitting the body through the clothes were also fatal. rest.

As a result, after looking for it, I met two young people who came to go on a field adventure.

The two are amateur mountaineering enthusiasts, and they came here to find excitement during their vacations. Originally, this area was blocked and no one was allowed to enter or leave, but the Kunlun Mountains are too vast, so these two people came in somehow. Fat, even found that the terrain is so steep, dare to go deeper.However, it is said that there is still a line of defense outside the Lengele Canyon, even if these two people can reach there, they will also be stopped.

Seeing Dong Zhi and Liu Si, the other party thought they were also travel friends who lost their way on an adventure, and couldn't help but be overjoyed.

"Brothers, you also come to explore. This road is difficult. Do you still go forward? If you still go forward, let's go together!" said the tall boy among them.

Liu Si frowned and said, "There have been military activities here recently, and irrelevant personnel are prohibited from entering. Don't go any further, or you will be stopped if you go any further!"

The short young man was a little unconvinced when he heard the words: "Then why are you still..."

Before he finished speaking, he also understood that since the other party knew about this, it must not be an irrelevant person.

But they were also wearing casual clothes. Seeing that Dong Zhi was carrying a long sword-like thing on his back, the short ones didn't look like "military personnel" at all.

The hailstones were getting bigger and bigger, accompanied by lightning and thunder, and the edge of the cloud in the distance was even faintly purple-black, as if a vortex was being born and brewed below.

The two outdoor explorers were stunned. Although they regarded mountaineering as a hobby, they were experienced for so many years, but they had never seen such a weird phenomenon.

The tall man even murmured: "No wonder people say that Lengele Canyon is evil, it seems to be true!"

At this moment, a thunder flashed, as bright as day. Although it was already daytime, it is no exaggeration to say that the thunder light raised the brightness of the sky by at least a step. There was a shock, and before the two outdoor explorers could react, they saw Dong Zhi draw out his long sword from behind and sweep it over their heads.

At that moment, the tall man thought that his head might be gone, but the short man suddenly realized that he had guessed correctly just now, and the other party was indeed carrying a sword.

The thought of the two of them flashed, the sword of Dongzhi had already led Lei Guang to the side.

A loud noise brought the two explorers back to reality. Seeing the stone next to them being blackened and smashed to pieces, they realized that if it hadn't been for the winter solstice, they would have been the fate of this stone.

The two looked at each other, and the tall man tentatively said to Dong Zhi: "Master, we didn't know each other just now, so we called you brother, don't argue with us!"

The winter solstice is angry and funny: "I told you that it is dangerous here, don't you believe it, leave quickly, go forward from there, bypass the mountain in front, and you will see a road, I will give you a call, you call Get in touch and someone will come pick you up."

The short man said in a daze, "Is it an alien?"

Winter Solstice: "... people from the military region."

Liu Si also thought that these two people were quite funny, but the timing was not right now, and it was impossible for them to allow ordinary people to enter the Nalingele Canyon.

The weirdness of the weather here is that no matter how terrifying the scene is, it always comes and stops as soon as it is said, and in just a few words of the four of them, the dark clouds in the sky have all cleared, the sun has revealed its true face, and the hailstones have disappeared. They were gone, and even the lightning strike just now seemed to be just their hallucinations. If the shattered boulder was not still there, the two explorers almost thought they were dreaming.

"Well, master, the hail has stopped and the sun has come out, can we continue to follow you two?"

Winter Solstice's expression darkened: "Didn't you listen to what I just said?"

He casually held a sword flower in his hand, and the light and shadow flickered, and the two of them didn't dare to protest anymore, they hurriedly thanked them, and then left in the direction of Liu Sizhi.

The tall man trotted back after walking for a while, smiled at Dong Zhi and Liu Si, and said, "Well, tall man, can you leave a phone call, I can't repay you for saving my life, and I'll treat you to dinner after I go out!"

After Winter Solstice entered the Special Administrative Bureau, he used two phones. One was switched on 24 hours a day for business purposes, and the other was an irrelevant private number. He gave the private number to the tall man. Companion leaves.

The little episode won't delay much time. After all, they couldn't hurry on the road because of the hail just now, but Winter Solstice was concerned about Longshen's safety, so he still quickened his pace. There were several light rains and a large-scale thunderstorm on the road, but neither of them made another trip. Going to hide, they finally arrived at the outside of the Nalingele Canyon near the evening.

Scattered figures appeared in sight, they were members of the Special Administration Bureau stationed outside the canyon by Song Zhicun, to prevent unrelated people like the two climbers just now from intruding.

After the Kunlun Mountain Stele was destroyed, the General Administration sent people from the sub-bureaus and localities to help. Two of them were guarded outside. Winter Solstice recognized them at a glance. Basang and Gumeiren.

I don't know when the sky will darken again, and the top will be covered by dark clouds in an instant. The purple-black vortex airflow slowly condenses in the clouds, as if there is a faint sign that something is about to descend. All the air masses gradually move, and finally converge on the top of the canyon. Looking at Long Shen's position, it was soul-stirring.

Although the old acquaintances were pleasantly surprised when they met, they were not in the mood for greetings at this moment. Basang Gumei must have heard why Dongzhi came here in a hurry. It's late at night, I heard that something happened to the head of Xin, and Song Bureau is now replacing him!"

Gu Meiren said: "Before you came, Liu Qingbo and the others had already arrived, and now Liu Qingbo is temporarily in charge of the overall situation."

On the side of the Special Administration Bureau, Song Zhicun had the final say, but there was a problem with the formation at the head of Xin, and he temporarily replaced it, which was equivalent to entering the formation with Long Shen. , the General Administration needs someone to sit in charge, it is impossible for everyone to rush over, the situation is a bit leaderless, and there are many experienced disciples from other sects here, but they can't command the Special Administration Bureau. At this time, Liu Qingbo just brought Li Han'er and Yang As soon as Shou came over, seeing this situation, he immediately yelled "Don't mess up", and took over the command without hesitation.

Although he has little management experience, he was also the deputy head of the team during the exchange meeting, and the others were not in the mood to compete with him for power at this time. With his loud shout, he managed to maintain the situation so as not to disturb the formation people within.

When Dong Zhi heard what they said, he didn't bother to lament that Liu Qingbo finally had the air of a general, so he hurried in with Liu Si.

Looking at his back, Gu Meiren suddenly sighed: "He has lost a lot of weight!"

Basang said: "But it's also stronger."

Gu Meiren nodded, and Basang said that she also discovered that the aura of Dongzhi is indeed much stronger than before. As practitioners, their five senses are more sensitive and easier to distinguish.

They were originally admitted to the Special Administration Bureau together and received training together. Even Dongzhi was born as an ordinary person with a lower starting point than them, but maybe some people in this world are destined to shine brightly, even if they are mistaken for gravel for a while, Cover up its own pearl, and one day it will amaze the world.

Gu Meiren knows that today's winter solstice is not the same as him in the past, and compared with them, he is also even better.

The immediate crisis is not only about their safety, or the situation of Kunlun Mountain, it is even a catastrophe involving the common people. A few people are here to support the universe, while the masses of people outside are still at a loss.

Flying sand and stone.

This is the first feeling after Dongzhi and Liusi entered the canyon.

If the feeling from the outside is not so obvious, then entering the canyon, the further you go in, the more deeply you will feel that it is difficult to move an inch.

The sky is not so dark that you can't see your fingers. Instead, it is more like the darkness before dawn, with a hazy gray, but with this gray, it is almost impossible to open your eyes. The wild sand is flying, and the gravel is mixed with The ice particles scraped on the face like ice skates, which hurt and hurt.

But no matter how bad the weather is, it can't stop Liu Si from going forward in the winter solstice. They are struggling in the strong wind, and they can vaguely see some figures in their sight. They guess that they are not far from Longshen, and they want to go be quick.

A loud noise suddenly came from the front, like something exploding, and even the ground shook. Winter Solstice heard someone yelling "Danger in the northeast corner", and my heart sank.

The person in charge of guarding the northeast corner is a Living Buddha of the Gelug Sect. Although the person who can be invited here must be a leader in the practice world, this master is old and weak, even if his disciples are behind him. Dharma protector, but after two days and two nights of continuous consumption, if it were an ordinary person, he would have fallen down long ago. It is not easy for him to persist until now.

Just as dangerous as the rupture of the seal in the northeast corner is Long Shen in the center of the formation.

The black devilish energy was like a tornado that couldn't break through the formation. It ran wildly in the formation, but couldn't get out. It was inevitable that the temper would become more and more violent. These helpless devilish energy seemed to use Long Shen as a vent, trying to kill him. As a sacrifice under the rage, devoured and crushed, who knows that although Long Shen does not move or say a word, he is not so good at "talking". Not only cannot the devilish energy swallow Long Shen, but it is "sucked" by him little by little. .

The gust of wind gradually became weaker, but the black mist inside the magic circle became thicker and thicker instead. Dong Zhi saw the demonic energy lingering around Long Shen, and also saw that Long Shen was absorbing the magical energy. He didn't need anyone to explain, he soon understood the other party's His intention——Long Shen must have wanted to absorb all the devilish energy gushing out of the abyss passage into his body by himself, and then use his own sacrifice to seal the passage.

But in this case, what's the point of rushing all the way here?

Could he just watch the other party die?

If you rush in at this time, it is likely to destroy the formation that everyone has painstakingly worked on.

Dong Zhi gritted his teeth, resisted this thought, and sealed the royal amulet to help the living Buddha stabilize his position.

Suddenly, the magic circle shook violently. Dong Zhi looked at the front of the formation, caught off guard, and fell back directly. Li Han'er supported him firmly behind him, but He Yu's exclamation immediately grabbed everyone's attention force.

All the devilish energy that was originally circling and flowing in the formation was suddenly "absorbed" by Long Shen. Everyone watched Long Shen pull out a long sword from the back of his hand. He slowly opened his eyes and looked over here.

As soon as everyone touched his eyes, they couldn't help being shocked by the evil spirit inside, as if they saw boundless evil thoughts.

Resentment, greed, jealousy, arrogance, and killing are the demons in everyone's heart, and they are also the soil where demonic energy breeds.

But these emotions should not have appeared on Long Shen.

"Master!" Dong Zhi had tears in his eyes.

Long Shen was slightly shocked, and his red eyes seemed to regain clarity a little bit. He fixedly looked at his raised hand, as if he was thinking about what he wanted to do just now.

Blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth, as if he had exhausted his entire life's will, suppressing the devilish energy and shouting in his body the strong will to control him.

Then Long Shen opened his eyes, said a word to Dong Zhi who was about to rush over with his sword, and before everyone had time to react, he got up and jumped down towards the abyss passage!

The wind blew sand and stones past his ears, and Dong Zhi couldn't hear what Long Shen said, but he recognized it from the shape of his mouth.

The other party said: Don't come here.
