After being forced to debut in metaphysics, I became popular

Because there is a distance between the southerly area and Binhai City, and the departure time was late, so even though the priests of Haiyun Temple were in a hurry, they were still much slower than the rescue team.

Wang Daochang saw the lights of the homestay area outside the mountain from a distance, and muttered dissatisfiedly: "If it weren't for the fear that the supervisory court would find me, I really wanted to learn from Song Yizhang and come here directly."

Daoist Ma next to him smiled: "Come on, Daoist Song's method is only fast when there is a traffic jam in the urban area. Isn't the plane bad?"

Because the official person in charge had already contacted Daoist Ma and told him about the situation in the hotel area, all the survivors had been rescued, and the seriously injured were sent to the nearest urban hospital for treatment in time.

Therefore, while the Taoists were anxious, they also calmed down a little.

"Fortunately, Junior Brother Yan is here this time, otherwise I don't know what to expect."

Wang Daochang smiled wryly: "If you say that Ma Daochang, your heart knot is Wild Wolf Peak, then Nanming Mountain... is my obstacle."

Even after so many years, Wang Daochang still couldn't forget that in the village next to Nanming Mountain, he saw the tragic scene of dead bodies all over the village, and the expressions of the surviving villagers who saw death and rushed to the mountain as if they were dead.

The grandma who was the leader at that time had an even more chilling expression.

It was as if she knew what kind of existence she had to deal with, yet she still had the courage to kill a god.

Wang Daochang didn't know what happened in the village, but his grandmother saved him out of kindness and pushed him away from Nancun.

But it has since become his heart barrier.

He will always remember that that time, he failed to protect anyone.

He got cold feet.

So, this time, he learned from the supervisor that the accident of the program team was related to Nanming Mountain, Wang Daochang didn't even have to think about it, he knew that he had to make this trip.

Since this is destined to be his dojo, how can he back down?

Wang Daochang looked at the lights and Ren You not far away with firm eyes.

When the priests entered the hotel area, a rescue team immediately greeted them, explained the situation to them in detail, and led them to the place where the official person in charge was.

"and many more."

Wang Daochang's eyes froze suddenly, and his attention was attracted by the shadow beside him.

The others went in without knowing it, and saw Wang Daochang walking to the corner of the nearby B&B, squatting down to look carefully at the decayed dead branches and flowers in the corner.

He stretched out his hand and carefully crushed the withered petals, only to find that they were chrysanthemums that should have bloomed in autumn.

Wang Daochang raised his head, frowned and looked around, and found that it was not only next to this B&B building, but also other B&Bs.

All looked withered and lifeless.

But suddenly, Wang Daochang's eyes flashed.

He found that outside a B&B not far away, yellow and white chrysanthemums were blooming, swaying in the wind and not withered.

This season in the southern region...is not the flowering period of chrysanthemums.

Wang Daochang casually asked the people next to him, "Which homestay is that?"

The staff looked in the direction Wang Daochang pointed, and nodded with admiration and understanding: "The Daoist is really amazing, and he found it at a glance."

Wang Daochang frowned and looked, not knowing what the other party was talking about.

The staff didn't notice Wang Daochang's eyes, and said to himself: "The only survivor who was not injured that I told Daochang before is the proprietress of this homestay, and the person in charge is also there. "

Wang Daochang heard the words with a dignified expression.

Is it a coincidence?The only survivor, the only flower that did not wither.

When a group of priests walked into the homestay, they were all attracted by the official person in charge sitting on the sofa at first glance.

There is no other reason.

The person in charge is in really good shape.

Anyone who has dealt with the special department knows how busy the special department is every day. It is not an exaggeration to say that even breathing has to fight for time.

And the official leaders that Taoists usually see often frown and look so busy that they are too busy to do so, and they can tell the exhaustion and exhaustion at a glance.

There are endless tasks piled up in his mind all the time, which makes him unable to relax at all.

But now, the official person in charge is smiling relaxedly, smiling as if there is nothing to worry him about, and his brows and eyes are stretched.

When seeing the figures of the priests, the person in charge waved his hand and said hello: "It's cold outside, do you want some hot water to keep you warm?"

A strange feeling appeared in Wang Daochang's heart.

It's not that the person in charge doesn't know about Nanming Mountain, and this time, everyone is worried about whether the tragic situation decades ago will reappear. Everyone is worried. Hai Yunguan was so anxious that he couldn't sleep all night.

But how could the person in charge, instead of worrying about the situation of Nanming Mountain in the first sentence, make these useless small talk?

Before Daoist Wang could ask, Daoist Ma looked at the person in charge and asked in surprise, "Is your stomach okay?"

"Didn't you have an upset stomach a few days ago? I'm still worried about you."

Daoist Ma looked the person in charge up and down, and said: "Just say it hurts, don't hold on, I know your stubborn temper after so many years of cooperation."

Seeing that the priests had arrived and the rescue team could go to the mountains to find out what happened to Changshou Village, the person in charge immediately put down the water glass in his hand and stood up, smiling to the priests, "Don't worry, I'm fine."

Seeing Ma Daochang's suspicious eyes, the person in charge patted his stomach to prove himself that he really didn't feel pain.

After cooperating with the official person in charge for so many years, Daoist Ma and the other party have long since broken away from the business-like attitude, and they are already good friends who have good personal relationships.

Therefore, even though the official person in charge had got up and left the homestay, and went outside to organize personnel to prepare for entering the mountain, Daoist Ma still frowned and was full of worry.

He is well aware of how bad his fortune-telling work is - although the "bad" control group is such talented people as the old Taoist priest and Yan Shixun.

Daoist Ma, who was afraid that he might make a mistake for his friend, quickly grabbed Daoist Wang's Taoist robe next to him, and asked him in a low voice to help the person in charge do the math.

Wang Daochang lowered his voice and said: "The magnetic field near Nanming Mountain is chaotic, even divination may not be completely accurate. This matter has been verified decades ago, and all schools have no way to deal with such a chaotic place of yin and yang. "

"However, when I met the person in charge earlier, I really made a habit of helping him out."

Ma Daochang was originally disappointed by what he said, but Wang Daochang gasped for breath when he spoke.

He hurriedly asked: "How?"

Wang Daochang stared at the back of the official person in charge walking towards the rescue team. The figure of the other party was hidden in the semi-dark light and shadow, with his back to the light and walking into the darkness, like a ghost hunting in the dark, waiting quietly to swallow the person in charge. into the belly.

Wang Daochang frowned, and said in a low voice: "According to the hexagrams, his stomach is indeed not very good. Although he didn't calculate it carefully at the time to see how far it was, but it shouldn't be the way he is now. Look relaxed."

Daoist Ma touched his chin, and said in a deep voice, "It's not just relaxed, it's full of vitality."

If the previous person in charge was a plant that was wilted by pests, then the current person in charge is simply full of water, with a vibrant green under the sun.

Such a stark contrast between the two levels of reversal made several Taoist priests murmur in their hearts.

During this period, what happened that they didn't know...

However, because they were in a hurry to enter the mountain, the priests couldn't care less about the physical condition of the person in charge, and hurriedly counted the personnel and the materials to be brought into the mountain.

Longevity Village is located in the deep mountains. While there is no pollution and suitable for living and recuperation, it also has another drawback.

The transportation is extremely inconvenient.

When the program team entered the mountain, they had to give up their vehicles and hike into the mountain. After experiencing several difficulties in the river and down the ditch, they entered Changshou Village.

Now, rescue teams are no exception.

Considering the coldness and unknownness in the mountains, food and clothing were well-prepared, and medical supplies were also brought for fear of injury to the program crew.

Everyone's backpacks are bulging, like carrying tens of kilograms.

Even the official heads are carrying heavy backpacks.

The people next to him were worried about him and asked if they wanted to help him share a little weight.

After all, there are dozens of people entering the mountain this time, and there is no need for the person in charge to recite these together.

The person in charge smiled and rejected the other party's kindness.

"Don't worry, I'm not that fragile."

The official person in charge smiled and waved his hands, signaling everyone to get on the road: "Get to Changshou Village early, and the program team will be able to escape early. Let's not waste time."

The person next to him responded, but the more he looked at the person in charge, the more strange he felt.

Why does he feel... the person in charge has a sense of urgency?

But he quickly shook his head and denied himself.

What are you thinking, the person in charge must be someone who is worried about the program group, and of course he is eager to enter the mountain.

However, the terrain into the mountain is dangerous, and the conditions are even worse under the darkness, making it difficult to distinguish the situation in the distance, and the conventional pathfinding methods are invalid because of the chaotic magnetic field nearby, so whether it is the rescue team or the road Seniors, all of them are on 12 points of vigilance.

The program group was able to enter the mountain smoothly because there was a guide who was familiar with the mountain to lead the way.

But they don't.

After all, the officials in the southern region are too busy to touch the ground, and naturally they don't have the energy to pay attention to details such as helping the rescue team and finding a guide again.

Officials in the southern region did not expect that the first tourism cooperation would turn out to be what it is now, and they were stunned for a while. I don’t know why Changshou Village, which is full of praise from those who have visited it and come back, is so similar to dozens of people. The tragedy of Nanming Mountain years ago has something to do with it.

However, because of the previous contact with them by the official person in charge, they are also investigating the whereabouts of those who claim to settle in Changshou Village.

Whether it is surveillance, traces of the use of all chips, visits to villages that must be passed through the mountain...

They responded quickly and began investigating immediately.

The result surprised them.

——According to the old people in Changshou Village, those who left because they couldn't stand the bitter cold in the mountains have never been out of the mountains.

Not only that, they also found that the settlers seemed to be acting according to an established law.

First they go into the mountains, and then between three and nine months, around the four solar terms of the year, they will go out of the mountains and happily tell everyone around them that they are going to settle in Changshou Village and deal with all the trivial matters outside the mountains.

Then, they will re-enter the mountain.

Since then there has been no audio.

However, from the captured surveillance video screenshots, or the settlers’ selfies and interviews, officials in the southern region discovered one thing.

After these people came out of the mountain, their faces were filled with happy smiles, which made people feel very happy when they saw them, and sincerely felt that they had really found happiness.

However, if you use the software to compare, you will find that the smiles on their faces are the same in every arc, and the wording is exactly the same.

As if made from a mold.

The whole process is precisely similar to every smallest detail.

Once there is doubt in my heart, the seeds of doubt take root and sprout, and the things that were ignored when I relaxed my vigilance will no longer be hidden.

The more you look down the southerly area, the more frightened you become.

They sent a message back to the official person in charge, expressing their serious suspicion that there is a cult organization hidden in the mountains, and those settlers would behave like this because they were brainwashed by them.

However, there are still some doubts in the southern region.

Because among those settlers, many relatives and friends came to look for them.

But no matter how they searched for relatives and friends, they kept circling outside the mountain, and they couldn't even find the entrance to the mountain, let alone meet those people again.

Although it made many people on the Internet sigh because of this at the time, Changshou Village is a veritable paradise, and people who are not destined cannot even go to the mountains.

But looking at it now, it's really weird.

Although I know that the magnetic field near Nanming Mountain is chaotic, but the southern region still can't figure out why there is such a precise coincidence every time, so that all relatives and friends who want to go to the mountain to find the people they care about, all return in vain.

It was as if... there was some force preventing them from meeting each other.

After receiving a call from the officials in the southern region, the person in charge was speechless for a moment.

Standing on the road about to enter the mountain, he raised his head and looked at the dark night sky without stars. He felt his throat sore and his eyes hot.

The person in charge is very clear that many of these people are seriously ill and have to give up treatment due to financial and family constraints.

They can't afford hundreds of thousands or millions of treatment fees, and they don't want to waste their family's time, energy, or even love because of taking care of themselves.

There is no filial son in front of the bed for a long time, and the same is true for family members.

They don't want the originally harmonious family to become arguing all day long because of themselves, and finally fall apart.

Looking at their young wives and children, and their aging parents, they finally gritted their teeth and made a decision.

——Go to Changshou Village, Bo's last chance of survival.

Perhaps the rumors on the Internet are true, and they can really be cured because of the unique natural environment and water and soil of Changshou Village.

In that way, they can return to their families in good health and continue to live happily with their families.

It doesn't matter if it's fake.

If Changshou Village can't cure them, let them die in Changshou Village deep in the mountains...beyond the sight of their families.

That way, the family won't worry too much.

Those people entered Changshou Village with such thoughts, and their families thought they would live a healthy life in a place they could not see.

However, those family members who are full of hope and longing do not know that the people they miss and think are living happily...

will never return.

I'm afraid they are dead.

The person in charge blinked, but before he could say anything, a line of hot tears flowed down his face first.

The people around who heard the voice on the phone were also silent.

No one laughed at the tears of those in charge.

Thinking in another way, the family they loved so much and thought they were still alive had already died deep in the mountains.

Just thinking about it already made them feel unbearable heartache, and how could they laugh at the emotion that the person in charge couldn't restrain for a while.

"Hmm... Maybe the magnetic field of Nanming Mountain is too special. After all, even the expedition team couldn't find the place before."

The person in charge sniffed, but there was still an irrepressible nasal tone in his voice: "As for what you said, there is indeed a possibility, and we will pay attention after we enter the mountain. Thanks for your hard work, thank you."

After all, this matter has already entered the category of special events, so even though the person in charge knew that the other party's guess was incorrect, he did not break it, and just complied smoothly.

After hanging up the phone, everyone was silent for a long time.

Wang Daochang sighed heavily.

Poor bones by the Wuding River... ①

A few decades ago, there were hundreds of corpses floating in the river in Nanming Mountain.

In the live broadcast of the show, rotting corpses appeared repeatedly.

These corpses are probably those settlers.

On the one hand, there is joyful waiting and anticipation, on the other hand, the dead body has already sunk to the bottom of the river, icy and rotten without seeing the sun.

Everyone's heart is not feeling well.

Several family members of the rescue team were already choked up just thinking about the missing person being their family members.

Official leaders, however, were the first to pull themselves together.

Almost in the blink of an eye, his originally red eyes had withdrawn the tears, and all the sadness on his face had been restrained, leaving only a smile.

"Let's go, the dead are gone, we can't change the past. But."

The person in charge has firm eyes: "The people in the program team are still there, they are still alive. We have to go there quickly, so as not to repeat the tragedy in the homestay area, and rescue them before the danger happens."

Everyone nodded again and again at what the official person in charge said, forced themselves to cheer up, carried their heavy backpacks on their backs, and started towards the route into the mountain that the proprietress pointed out to them.

However, even with sufficient mental preparation, after stepping into the mountains, they found that the situation was far more complicated than they had imagined.

——The river in the mountains has risen.

There is no moon or stars tonight, and the sky is pitch black.

When in the homestay area, you can still see the terrain clearly with the help of the surrounding light.

However, after entering the mountain, they seemed to have entered a closed, pitch-black box, and they couldn't see their fingers. Even with a strong flashlight, they still couldn't accurately judge such a complex and dangerous terrain.

And what worries everyone the most is that the river swelled violently, submerging a lot of land that could have been passed through, making them have to give up the easy road and turn to a more difficult and dangerous place to pass through.

The night in the field and deep in the mountains, coupled with the chaos of the magnetic field, makes conventional methods ineffective, and even the most experienced field survival experts dare not act lightly.

After all, in this environment, it is easy to lose your way.

And once you get lost... hypothermia, hunger, wild animals, missteps and other bad situations that may lead to death will be the most likely outcome.

However, just when everyone was trembling and confirming step by step, for fear of stepping on empty feet, the person in charge seemed to be particularly comfortable.

He was as natural as coming home.

When the Taoist master held a compass and carefully identified the direction and route, the person in charge strode ahead of everyone, as if the slanting branches and slippery pebbles under his feet had no effect on him .

Daoist Ma was shocked: "When did you learn the skills of survival in the wild? Why didn't I know?"

Hearing this, the person in charge also turned around and looked at Daoist Ma strangely: "What are you talking about? Isn't it easy to see?"

The person in charge pointed to the front of himself: "This road is so obvious, it can be seen at a glance that it is the road to Changshou Village."

Daoist Ma exchanged glances with the staff next to him: Did he get some information that we don't know?Why are you so sure?

The staff hesitated: Did you see it on the live broadcast?After all, when the program team entered the mountain at noon, the whole process was broadcast live. Maybe the person in charge wrote down the route?

Seeing the confident look of the person in charge, some people couldn't help thinking, even if they were muttering in their hearts: Could it be that the person in charge has done such a meticulous job?Even memorized the program group's route into the mountain?

In order to avoid being affected by the chaotic magnetic field, Wang Daochang repeated the calculation dozens of times, but the final result was similar to the path led by the person in charge.

"This……"

Daoist Wang was stunned.

The person in charge didn't take the expressions of other people into his heart, and just led the way at the forefront by himself.

However, at some places where the mountain road was submerged by the river and had to be detoured, the person in charge stepped straight into the river and waded to the opposite side naturally.

I don't know whether he is eager to enter Longevity Village, or he is no longer vigilant about the river, just like a child returning to his mother's arms, nostalgic and used to it.

"What are you doing standing there? Come here, the river is not deep."

The person in charge turned around with a smile and waved to everyone.

In the dark mountain forest, the branches are slanted, and under the light of the flashlight, they cast wildly dancing shadows like ghosts.

There was a trace of blood in the smiling eyes of the person in charge.

In the distance, there were faint rustling noises.
