I created Qin Tianjian in modern times

Chapter 99 Assemble!The Border Gate Conferred God shook Kyushu! ! ([-] words)

In the past few months, countless construction workers have worked hard, from the cold autumn weather to the freezing wind.

The single clothes they wore gradually turned into heavy cotton clothes.

"call……"

Lao Zhang, who had been working on the construction site for several hours, was exhausted.

Even in this low temperature environment, he still felt hot and hot because of his great efforts.

Taking advantage of the rest time, he grabbed the thermos bottle on the side and drank a few mouthfuls of hot water. His eyes fell on the construction site in front of him.

Everyone on this construction site is tireless, methodical, and enthusiastic about their work.

Such a vigorous construction scene made Lao Zhang feel a little emotional.

From October to early January, there were heavy rains and heavy snowfalls.

During this time, countless people worked together to overcome various difficulties, and everyone worked towards the same goal.

But fortunately, it was all worth it. Now these several-meter-high city walls have formed an impenetrable line of defense on the coast.

Looking into the distance, it looks like a giant dragon, circling the mountains and dormant between the coast and the city.

Now the construction of the city wall has basically been completed, only some details remain.

Four city gates also rose from the ground during this period, located among the four cities and counties, just like the pass over the gorge.

If we continue at this pace, it will take up to half a month before the huge project is about to be completed.

Not to mention, many workers, like Lao Zhang, still feel a little reluctant to give up.

But things change, winter passes and spring comes, this is the eternal truth in this world.

What's more, the abyss under the sea has also absorbed the Yin Qi to the critical point. The further it goes, the more dangerous it becomes, because war may break out at any time.

The three-month construction time Zhao Qi gave them was a safe period to ensure everyone's safety as much as possible.

The city is now covered with snow, and although the streets are empty, this loneliness adds a unique artistic conception to the ice and snow.

Many people will be blinded by the calmness in front of them, but they don't know that there are always a few pairs of eyes in the depths of the sea, waiting for the opportunity. Once Tianyuan absorbs enough Yin Qi, it is time for them to sneak into the human world.

Outside the door of the temporary command room, Liu Wenbin, director of the City Foundry Department, ran towards this side quickly while breathing into his hands.

Now the temperature has dropped to more than ten degrees below zero, and even though I am wearing a coat, it is still bitingly chilly.

"Supervisor Zhao!"

Liu Wenbin quickly came to Zhao Qi, looked at Zhao Qi with joy and said:

"Now all the projects have begun to be completed. It will take up to half a month for the project to be completed."

Liu Wenbin couldn't wait to report the good news to Zhao Qi. After hearing this, Zhao Qi immediately put on his coat and went for an on-site inspection with Liu Wenbin.

Sure enough, the towering city wall stretches for thousands of miles. After being covered with white snow, it looks more like a snow dragon.

The Weihai County City Gate is majestic and majestic. The Conferential God Platform above has been built, and workers are dismantling the scaffolding on the outside.

"Okay, it's half a month earlier than I thought. Everyone is doing well.

After the completion, let all the construction workers take a good rest. You have all worked hard during this period. "

As Zhao Qi spoke, he patted Liu Wenbin on the shoulder. These words also made Liu Wenbin feel warm in his heart.

"Investor Zhao, what should we do next? The city walls and gates have been built. What else do we need to do?"

Zhao Qi put his hands behind his back and looked at the endless sea in the distance:

"After this matter is over, you can return to Qintian Prison to rest. The remaining matters are beyond your expertise."

Zhao Qi's eyes were full of worry, because until now, no team members have returned.

More than two months have passed since the team members set out, and there is still no news about the team members. This makes it difficult for Zhao Qi not to worry about whether something happened to them.

Seeing that everything is ready and the Conferred God Platform has been built, don't make any mistakes at the last moment.

"You guys...it's time to come back..."

Zhao Qi sighed deeply, his eyes filled with worry, like an old father waiting for his wanderer to return home.

……

"Ah!"

Li Xuanran rubbed his nose and muttered:
"Who is thinking of me?"

Feng Qiqi on the side looked at Li Wanran with disdain:
"You still care about this?"

Li Ruanran shrugged. At this moment, the two of them were in the dense forest on the roadside, staring at the empty street in front of them.

"Auntie, we have been waiting here for a long time, are you sure you didn't make a mistake?
Isn't it said that there are animals that walk upright? We haven't seen it for so many days. Isn't it just a market legend? "

Li Xuanran said helplessly to Feng Qiqi beside him.

In the past few days, they have been guarding here every night. They originally planned to wait for the target, but they have not found the target for a long time.
This made Li Wanran have to wonder whether they had made a mistake from the beginning.

Feng Qiqi on the side was obviously much more patient. She was like a hunter dormant in the darkness, her eyes sharply staring at the road, patiently waiting for the prey to appear.

After receiving no response, Li Ruanran reluctantly took out the gourd from his waist, took a sip of wine, and then lay down on the grass with his arms pillowed on his head.

However, just as he lay down, Feng Qiqi's urgent voice came to Li Wanran's ears:
"coming!"

As soon as he heard this, Li Xuanran's tiredness disappeared. He turned over cleverly, straightened up and looked towards the road.

Directly on the dark road, a strange figure walked towards this direction with a staggering gait.

This thing doesn't look like a human being, but it walks upright like a human being. It's exactly like the legend.

Li Wanran instinctively grasped the hilt of the Dragon Song Sword, his teeth itching with hatred:
"Grandson, I've been waiting for you!"

Li Wanran carried the Dragon chanting sword and soon came to the deserted alley. When he saw the figure coming towards him, he was startled.

I saw an old black goat, standing and walking like a human.

Especially those eyes, which are weird and a bit sinister, which makes people not surprised and makes their backs feel cold.

But then Li Wanran calmed down and drew out the Dragon Yin Sword. With a faint sound of dragon roar, Li Wanran raised the sword and pointed it directly at the old goat:
"It turned out to be a goat spirit. The woods are really big these days, and there are all kinds of birds.

We have been waiting for you for a long time. If you just surrender, you will suffer less! "

Li Wanran didn't know if the goat spirit could understand what he was saying. Anyway, after he finished speaking, the old goat looked at him blankly for a few seconds, then turned around and ran away.

"Oh, I'm going?"

Li Wanran raised his sword and chased after him, but the old goat was extremely fast and could not get close in a short time.

Fortunately, at this moment, a graceful figure gradually emerged from the darkness behind.

Feng Qiqi played with the dagger in her hand and stared coldly at the old goat with killing intent.

The road ahead and back were blocked, and the old goat couldn't escape in this narrow alley.

"Who are you?"

However, what neither of them expected was that the voice made by this old goat with a beard and an old look was actually the soft voice of a child.

This made Li Wanran's face speechless for a while:
"Can this get any fucking weirder?"

"Goat spirit, you can live if you follow me, or you will die. It's your choice!"

Feng Qiqi's plain voice seemed to be saying an insignificant thing, but in the old goat's eyes, a fierce light flashed, and then a black mist filled the whole body.

In this black mist, the two of them actually saw some ferocious faces.

These evil spirits wandered in the black mist, and then rushed towards them.

Goats have always been a kind of supernatural animal.

Goats can be found both in local folklore and in overseas urban ghost stories.

According to folklore, goats are psychic, especially because their eyes can see through yin and yang, and can easily attract ghosts.

In foreign urban supernatural stories, goats can walk upright, pretend to be humans, and attract poultry into the room and eat them.

This is all because the goat has a pair of terrifying eyes.

The same is true for the standing goat in front of me. There is a black horizontal bar in the white of the pale eyes, but it is shining with scarlet light at this moment.

Li Wanran had obviously been prepared for the battle, so when he saw the shop in the black mist approaching, the Dragon Sword in his hand immediately shone brightly.

One person, one sword and one carefree spirit are vividly displayed in Li Wanran.

Li Wanran is a very transparent person, and his usual formal style is also cynical.

There has always been a saying among the people that people with great enlightenment often manifest themselves in two forms.

One of them is that the mind and body are like still water, and you can sit still in the chaotic world, free from the world of mortals.

The other type is one whose mind is like still water and whose body is like a tide, half mad, half mad and half self-possessed, sinking in the world but not stained by the dust of the world.

Li Wanran is the second type of person, which can be explained from his swordsmanship.

Wherever the Dragon Sword passed, all the hungry ghosts were dispersed. His swordsmanship was so outstanding that it was rare in this world.

Feng Qiqi on the other side had no fear in the face of the surging evil spirits.

The dagger in her hand quickly struck at the evil ghost in front of her, but the dagger only passed through the evil ghost's black mist body and did not cause any harm to the evil ghost.

In a daze, the snapping turtle opened its huge mouth and headed straight for Feng Qiqi's face. At this moment, Feng Qiqi felt her eyes go dark, as if she had fallen into a cold pool, and the piercing meaning spread throughout her body in an instant. .

But the next second, Feng Qiqi felt a colder feeling coming over her back, where Zhao Qi had carved the tattoo. After the two forces interacted with each other, Feng Qiqi's whole aura also changed greatly.

"You can attract evil spirits, so can I!"

Feng Qiqi's face was as cold as ice, and the ground under her feet began to be filled with thin frost.

Feng Qiqi made a secret with her hands, and the spell written by Zhao Qi in the brocade bag sounded in her mind, and the voice of Chen Sheng silently reciting it sounded more like it came from outside the sky.

"boom!"

A burst of black mist began to spread around Feng Qiqi, and then Li Wanran discovered that many shadows appeared behind Feng Qiqi.

These phantoms were all dripping with blood and looked ferocious, and the resentment behind them seemed to be about to condense into reality.

"Hundred Ghosts Night Walk!"

As Feng Qiqi aimed his handprint at the old goat in front of him, the ghostly figures surrounding him rushed towards him like a tide.

The resentment of these ghosts around Feng Qiqi was obviously more powerful than those summoned by the old goat.

Therefore, when the two collided, the ghostly figures in the black mist instantly disappeared without a trace.

Everything happened very quickly. When Feng Qiqi's figure emerged from the black mist again, she had already trampled the old goat under her feet:

"If you move again, you will die!"

The old goat also realized that he had kicked the iron plate, and his whole body trembled and he swung his hoofs:

"Great man, spare your life, Master, spare your life!"

Li Xuanran put the sword into its sheath in surprise, and curiously came to Feng Qiqi's side, and the figures of the resentful spirits around Feng Qiqi also disappeared one after another.

"This...what is this?"

Facing Li Xuanran's curious inquiry, Feng Qiqi said without changing her expression:

"These are the people who died in my hands. They stayed here and refused to leave because they were too resentful..."

Even though Feng Qiqi said it so lightly, she only saw this after she was summoned to teach her the exorcism technique and her eyes were opened.

Feng Qiqi had just realized this at that time, and the resentful spirit that died in her hands remained by her side.

What I heard in the folklore class about cause and effect was finally confirmed at this moment.

Fortunately, Feng Qiqi has the spirit exorcism technique to protect her. Not only will she not be harmed by these resentful spirits, but she can also use them to her advantage.

Li Suanran picked up the trembling old goat on the ground, looked it up and down, and then asked doubtfully:
"Can a goat become a spirit? Tell me honestly, how did you become a spirit?"

The old goat has obviously been frightened by the power of the two, so now his whole body is still shaking with fear.

Naturally, he didn't dare to hide anything from Li Wanran's questioning.

"Master, I don't know, but one day I suddenly woke up."

"Ah? Can you still awaken your mind without practicing?"

Seemingly worried that Li Wanran would not believe the old goat, he hurriedly explained:

"Master, everything I said is true."

"Then why do you always pass by this road?"

Feng Qiqi asked coldly.

A bit of confusion soon appeared in the old goat's eyes, and then he subconsciously made a few sheep calls:

"I don't know, it's just that there is a very attractive force here that attracts me. I feel stronger every time I come here."

"Power? Where is it?"

"Right by the well at the end of this road..."

After the two looked at each other, they led the old goat towards the end of the road.

Soon I saw an ancient well that was sealed with iron chains and looked like it had been there for many years.

The moment he saw the well, Li Suanran suddenly thought of something, and then he took out the previous city map and looked at it, and then the expression on his face began to become intriguing.

“I see, I think I know why the feng shui of this city is chaotic.

You see, all the directions of the entire city have changed, forming a Feng Shui dilemma, and in the center of the Feng Shui dilemma is this well. "

Feng Qiqi on the other side heard this and took out her mobile phone, searched online for a moment, then looked up at Li Wanran and said:

"This well has a name, called Dragon Locking Well. It is said that there is a dragon locked underneath."

Li Suanran was silent for a few seconds, and then showed a strange expression:

"This is too ridiculous..."

Both of them felt a little strange about this well, but Li Wanran still did not forget the responsibility they shouldered when they came this time.

"Forget it, let's go back and report to the supervisor first.

We will report this situation to the supervisor when the time comes. We can't take this idea. "

With that said, Li Wanran took the old goat and walked in the direction of parking.

Feng Qiqi looked at the well with some confusion, and followed after a few seconds without saying a word.

The heavy iron chain of this well goes deep into the ground, and the top is rusty. Apparently no one has opened it for many years.

As for what is under the well, it is always the same as what others say.

Beside the well, there is an iron tree, standing naked here, looking a little lonely.

Neither of them noticed that there was a line of blurred small characters carved underneath the well.

"The iron tree blossoms and the horse grows horns, so the lock can be opened!"

……

Time is approaching the end of the twelfth lunar month, and the lush mountain roads in the past are now covered with snow.

In the villages at the foot of the mountain, every household closed their doors tightly and burned hot bricks to drive away the severe cold that kept coming.

The family sat on the Kang, with a few side dishes placed on the table. Although there was no big fish or meat, they were still enjoying themselves.

The man of the house boiled a pot of hot wine for himself, and his wife and children sat across from him. This was considered the happiest time of the day for a not-so-rich family.

"Family, have you heard any movement from the deserted village on the top of the mountain during this night?"

"No, the child was frightened and woken up for several nights."

The host frowned and took a sip of soju, then let out a long sigh and showed an expression of enjoyment:

"This is really a weird thing. The deserted village on the mountain is obviously uninhabited, but as long as it's night, you can always hear lively noises from above. It sounds like someone is fighting."

The woman gave the child a bowl with chopsticks and then shook her head indifferently:
"We don't care about these things. In the past two days, other people in the village have also spread rumors that someone went to the hut at night and saw an evil light on the mountain.

I didn't have the guts to go up to see it at night, so I waited until daytime and asked a few guys to go up the mountain. Maybe there was no one in the deserted village, and I didn't know where the light came from.

Later, I heard that there were many investigators from the Xing Division, running back and forth several times, as if they were looking for someone. "

"These days, all kinds of strange things happen, the world is really in decline..."

The family's discussion was drowned in the howling mountain wind. A path led straight from the top of the mountain, and the deserted village was now covered with snow.

But what this family didn't know was that several figures were coming down the mountain road at this moment.

Not only did they leave clear footprints wherever they walked, but they also left a long trail of dragging.

"Uncle, please spare me. I don't care about the faults of small people. Just treat me like a fart."

It was Wang Wuchen and Zhang Zhenshan who were walking on the mountain road, and in Wang Wuchen's hand, he was holding the hind paw of an animal.

Most of the animal's body was dragged in the white snow, and its two front paws were not idle. It kept making bowing movements and making begging sounds from its mouth.

The tired looks on the faces of Wang Wuchen and Zhang Zhenshan could not be concealed. They did not pay attention to the constant begging for mercy, but instead started talking to themselves.

"It's strange, we only stayed on this mountain for one night, why did it suddenly start snowing?"

Zhang Zhenshan raised his head with some doubts and looked at the falling snowflakes, with incomprehensible shock hidden in his eyes.

Wang Wuchen did not speak, but lowered his head and took out his mobile phone, only to find that the mobile phone had been turned off, which filled his eyebrows with doubts.

"There's someone over there, team leader, right over there!"

At this moment, the two of them heard a shout coming from the forest, and several figures hurriedly ran towards them.

Faced with this sudden and strange situation, Wang Wuchen and Zhang Zhenshan put on defensive postures, but not long after, they saw an investigator from the Criminal Investigation Department wearing a heavy coat running out of the forest with a look of astonishment on his face.

"Two leaders, it's really you!"

Team leader Wei ran over in surprise, his expression looked like he hadn't seen him for a long time.

The two looked at each other, feeling a little confused about this.

"Team Leader Wei, where have you been? We have subdued the spirits causing trouble here, but we didn't see you after searching around.

And what's going on with this weird weather?Isn’t it just the end of October? Why is it snowing? "

As soon as Wang Wuchen finished speaking, he noticed the strange expressions on the faces of Team Leader Wei and several investigators around him.

Team leader Wei said something that neither of them expected in an extremely trembling voice.

“Both leaders, it’s already the end of December.

What you are talking about happened two months ago. That night we arrived in the deserted village and divided our troops into two groups to investigate.

But in 10 minutes, we won't be able to find you.

We had no choice but to go back quickly and mobilize more people to search all over the mountain. After two full months of searching, the two leaders were still nowhere to be seen.

Today was supposed to be the last search, but now the mountain is about to be searched.

If we can't find you two again, we will have no choice but to report it! "

"What, two months?"

Wang Wuchen and Zhang Zhenshan felt a little confused at this moment. In their impression, they found the real weasel in the mountain village in less than 10 minutes.

Then the weasel cast an illusion, but it was quickly cracked by the two men and captured.

How could two months have passed like this?

As if he could tell that the two of them were in disbelief, Team Leader Wei quickly took out his cell phone, opened today's date, and showed it to the two of them.

After that, Wang Wuchen fell into a long silence, and Zhang Zhenshan on the other side was also full of shock.

"It's actually been two months. What the hell is going on?"

Just after Zhang Zhenshan asked this question, Wang Wuchen immediately lowered his head and looked at the controlled weasel.

Then Wang Wuchen grabbed the weasel by the neck and asked sternly:
"It's your fault, tell me honestly what happened!"

The captured weasel was looking at Wang Wuchen with fear on its face. It was obvious that it had been frightened by the two of them, and it naturally did not dare to play any tricks in this situation.

"Uncle, this...this...is an illusion..."

Following Weasel's explanation, Wang Wuchen and Zhang Zhenshan understood.

At that time, after they separated from Team Leader Wei and others, the two of them had actually entered the illusion. However, the weasel did not expect that the two of them could still find their hiding place in the illusion, even just between the lightning and flint. Beat yourself up.

However, it is not easy to find the position of the caster in the illusion. In the two people's feelings, only 10 minutes have passed, but outside it has already been the alternation of the sun and the moon of two months.

Weasel's illusion skills are indeed superb, but with the strength of the two of them, they would not be trapped for so long.

It was just because neither of them had any action experience, and the lack of experience caused them to struggle in the illusion.

But the experience accumulated in this operation is also precious to the two of them. Wang Wuchen's eyes were covered with a layer of gray fog. He didn't like this feeling of hindsight.

"Oops!"

Zhang Zhenshan, who came to his senses on the side, slapped his forehead, then turned to look at Wang Wuchen and said urgently:
"Two months have passed, and the emissary must still be waiting for us.

It's bad now, we may be the last group to go back and recover! "

After being reminded by Zhang Zhenshan, Wang Wuchen immediately decided not to stay here for a long time, and immediately urged Team Leader Wei next to him to prepare a car. They were going to Dongshan County immediately!

……

Zhang Lingyuan, who acted alone on the other side, was not as effective as the other two groups.

In the past two months, Zhang Lingyuan has been investigating in the village. Although he has found some clues, he has not been able to find the hidden spirit.

During this period of time, the local Sentencing Division has been fully cooperating, but after two months of investigation, there is still no results. Although the investigators do not say it, they are actually exhausted.

Early that morning, the investigators received instructions for another meeting. They dragged their tired bodies to the temporary meeting room set up by the village committee.

Zhang Lingyuan was looking through the documents compiled during this period. After a long period of combing, he roughly knew the reason for this matter.

The abandoned temple in the village actually had a lot of history. Especially when Zhang Lingyuan and some fragments of the statues were found in the ruins of the abandoned temple, he already roughly knew the origin of the matter.

A statue of a mouse fairy was once enshrined here. This belief originated from shamanism, which obviously means that this temple has been around for some years.

Strange things also happened after the desolate temple was demolished. Many people in the village were saying that the Gray Immortal was angry, but only Zhang Lingyuan knew that this was not the case.

There are no gods in this world, let alone these folk immortals.

Therefore, Zhang Lingyuan quickly made a judgment that although the occurrence of strange things had nothing to do with the statue in the temple, it was not unrelated.

So in the next few days, Zhang Lingyuan collected many ancient folk books for review, and finally relied on the existing evidence to target the ghosts.

Therefore, at today's meeting, Zhang Lingyuan once again issued a new action plan, which is to mobilize all villagers and seal all mouse holes in every household.

Although the investigators didn't know the significance of this, they quickly went to notify the villagers door to door, leaving all the villagers confused.

"We've been checking for so long and we still haven't found any results. Why are we still fussing around?"

"Forget it, forget it. Those mouse holes are also harmful to food anyway. If they are blocked, they will be blocked."

"This group of people is really weird. They don't do anything serious and don't know what they are checking every day."

The families of those who had the accident were initially looking forward to Zhang Lingyuan's arrival to help them find out the truth.

But two months passed in the blink of an eye, and there was no result at all. Naturally, they were very anxious.

Zhang Lingyuan could always hear such radical remarks, but he never responded.

At the end of the day, all the rat holes that could be found in the village were sealed. At night, the investigators gathered at the village committee, waiting for Zhang Lingyuan to issue new orders.

"Hey, where's the leader?"

"I don't know. We just came back. Doesn't the leader always look through those documents in the room?"

"What are you still doing, hurry up and find it!"

The investigators soon discovered that Zhang Lingyuan was not at the village committee, which made them confused, and they immediately spread out to search in the village.

Soon after, an investigator came to report that Zhang Lingyuan was in the field at the moment.

A group of investigators gathered around curiously, but Zhang Lingyuan clearly did not look back, but immediately made a gesture to stop moving forward.

At this moment, he was holding a long knife in his hand and slowly walking through the fields.

From the expression on his face, it is not difficult to see the kind of caution as if facing a powerful enemy, but it is this kind of caution that makes the investigators a little confused.

Looking around, apart from Zhang Lingyuan, the only ones left in the entire field were the scarecrows inserted in the field. "What is the leader doing?"

"It looks like someone is hiding here."

"How is it possible? Apart from those scarecrows, is there anyone else?"

All the investigators looked at Zhang Lingyuan in the distance with confusion, but Zhang Lingyuan was not affected by the outside world at all.

His sharp eyes kept scanning the bodies of each scarecrow, and the long knife in his hand was always ready to go.

"Whoosh..."

A gust of wind blew by, followed by a black shadow that flashed away.

Zhang Lingyuan's reaction was faster. He waved his hand with a knife, and a scarecrow's head rolled to the ground.

"Come out, where else can you hide?"

Zhang Lingyuan's tone was cold, but in the quiet night, it could be heard very clearly in everyone's ears.

While the investigators were discussing in confusion, a person next to them suddenly rubbed his eyes:
"Everyone, did you see it just now? It seems like a scarecrow moved!"

The investigator beside him was unimpressed.

"Don't talk nonsense, are you too tired and dazzled?"

"Because I think it is blown by the wind. After watching for a long time, the eyes are tired and it is easy to have this illusion."

Only the investigator who just spoke was still frowning. He couldn't describe this feeling, but he was sure that he had indeed seen a scarecrow move just now.

Zhang Lingyuan kept waving his long knife in the field, and the heads of the scarecrows were cut off one by one.

Seeing that there was only the last scarecrow left in the field, Zhang Lingyuan still chopped it with a knife.

"Shh..."

The next second, the scarecrow, which should have been standing motionless in the field, suddenly jumped back, narrowly avoiding Zhang Lingyuan's knife.

Then the empty eyes began to glow red, and the scarecrow actually spoke.

"You and I have no grievances, why?"

The scarecrow's voice is very strange. Each word has a different timbre. It feels like many people are reading the same sentence, and everyone is only reading one word of this sentence.

"Sure enough, you are hiding here!"

Zhang Lingyuan finally confirmed his judgment at this moment. He had been thinking before that the whole village had been searched, why there was no trace of the monster yet, but he could always feel the Yin Qi coming at this time.

Since there is Yin Qi, it definitely means that the spirit has not gone far, so why has it been able to evade search many times?

It wasn't until Zhang Lingyuan noticed the scarecrows standing in the field that he came up with a bold hypothesis, and now this hypothesis was finally confirmed.

And the moment he heard the scarecrow speak, many confusions in Zhang Lingyuan's mind were solved.

Why are the comatose people in the fields, and why do they lose the ability to speak after they wake up?

Now Zhang Lingyuan understood that this spirit should not be able to speak, so he took away one of the seven souls in charge of speech from those who were unconscious, so that he could have the ability to speak human words.

"Show your true identity, I know who you are."

Just as Zhang Lingyuan finished speaking, a black mist suddenly blew up from the scarecrow.

Then, a strange guy with a human body and a rat head appeared in front of him.

This rat spirit looked at Zhang Lingyuan in front of him with a pair of sly eyes:

"Who are you and how did you find me?"

Zhang Lingyuan did not answer this question. The reason he was able to conclude that it was rat spirits was because during the investigation, he saw rats worshiping in the direction of the fields at night.

Moreover, during this period, food was stolen from every household, and these items could be found in the fields again the next day.

Putting all this together it is not difficult to conclude that these rats were worshiping and offering food.

Finally finding the target he had been longing for, Zhang Lingyuan slashed at it with a long knife without saying a word.

"squeak……"

In desperation, the rat spirit even let out a primitive cry, then turned around and turned into black mist to leave.

How could Zhang Lingyuan, who had finally found his target, miss it like this?
"run?"

As soon as he took one step forward, Zhang Lingyuan suddenly felt a wave of hot air forming around his body. The temperature emanating from his body actually burned his shirt completely.

All the investigators' eyes widened, and they clearly saw a red scapula appearing on Zhang Lingyuan's body.

Zhang Lingyuan slowly raised the knife in his hand. The high temperature on the blade seemed to burn everything.

His character is like this, so he doesn't take action easily, but whenever he does, it will be a fatal blow.

Behind Zhang Lingyuan, a seemingly invisible dragon shape gradually formed in the air waves caused by the high temperature.

The fire dragon roared and entrenched itself behind Zhang Lingyuan, its eyes wide open as it stared directly at the raging black mist.

"Roar!"

As the phantom of the fire dragon behind Zhang Lingyuan roared silently, the long knife in Zhang Lingyuan's hand fell, taking the fire dragon straight towards the black mist.

The fire dragon opened its bloody mouth and bit into the black mist.

"puff!"

The rat spirit hiding inside immediately spat out a mouthful of black blood, and then fell to the ground.

Zhang Lingyuan came to the front of the rat spirit unhurriedly. The long knife in his hand was only a few centimeters away from the rat spirit.

"Either die or come with me, decide!"

Faced with this choice, no one would choose the former. Even monsters still have a desire to survive.

"I'll go with you, don't kill me!"

The battle ended quickly, and Zhang Lingyuan realized the power of blood for the first time.

At the moment when he exerted his power, he could even feel the blood in his body boiling.

The moment he took back this power, the shoulder dragon that appeared on his body gradually disappeared.

Zhang Lingyuan sealed the rat demon's pipa bone so that it could no longer transform and escape, and then prepared to leave under the cover of night.

All the investigators were stunned and stood there for a long time, unable to recover.

"Did you all see it just now?"

"There seems to be a dragon on the leader's body..."

"Why does that person have the head of a mouse? Is this... a monster?"

When the investigators came to their senses, Zhang Lingyuan had already disappeared at the end of the village road with the rat demon.

Before they could figure out what had just happened, they saw several black State Secret Service vehicles speeding over on the village road.

Agents gathered from all directions, surrounding all investigators.

"The State Secretariat is handling the case. Please cooperate with us. There is a confidentiality agreement that you need to sign."

……

At dawn the next day, Aunt Liu rubbed her sleepy eyes and started washing as usual.

Lying on the bed was her man, the first person to wake up from a coma in the field, lose the ability to speak, and be sluggish all day long.

As of today, she has been in a coma for nearly three months. Aunt Liu seemed to have accepted her fate. She washed the towel and prepared to come over and wipe the man's face.

But at this moment, the man yawned and sat up:
"Daughter-in-law, bring me a glass of water. I'm so thirsty..."

Aunt Liu suddenly froze on the spot, and the towel in her hand fell to the ground.

The man looked at Aunt Liu with a puzzled look:
"What kind of expression is this? It's like you don't recognize me anymore..."

Aunt Liu walked over tremblingly, with disbelief written all over her face:

"You...you woke up..."

After the words fell, Aunt Liu was already in tears. She had secretly decided in her heart that even if her man never woke up, she would accept her fate.

Aunt Liu threw herself into the man's arms and cried bitterly. On the contrary, the man felt baffled by this.

"I just took a nap, what's wrong with you?"

After a while, Aunt Liu finally calmed down and recounted everything that happened during this period.

"What? Did I pass out?"

The man had no recollection of what happened, but it happened in other families as well.

All the people who lost the ability to speak after being comatose in the fields recovered one after another today, which made their families very happy, and the whole story spread in the village.

The villagers ran towards the village committee one after another, wanting to tell the village chief and Zhang Lingyuan and others who had been investigating during this period.

After arriving at the village committee, I discovered that the village chief had just woken up, but neither Zhang Lingyuan nor the Tixing Division investigator who had been investigating in the village for the past two months had disappeared.

No one knew what happened last night, but they just noticed that all the scarecrows in the field had their heads chopped off, and there were many dead rat corpses on the street.

Everyone was puzzled by this, but since then, neither the investigators from the Criminal Division nor the rather mysterious man who was not good at words appeared again. It was as if everything that happened before was just a common thought among the villagers. Like a dream.

"Mom, I was outside the window last night and seemed to see a dragon, right in the field!"

"Children can't tell lies. There are no dragons in this world!"

The woman had no idea that what the child said was true.

This world is always like this, and people always ignore the fact that in the eyes of children, they may be able to see more truth.

All the team members have embarked on the road back to Dongshan State. Wherever they have passed, they have also left behind some bizarre-sounding legends.

"The ghost village on the top of the mountain shows strange lights at night. Local people rumored that this place is haunted."

"Many people in Nanzhao County witnessed and suspected of seeing the Goatman. Our reporter is following up the report..."

"A large-scale cultural event was held in a village. It is worth noting that there were some peculiar links in the event.

On this day, villagers in every household will build a scarecrow, place it uniformly in the field, and then cut off the scarecrow's head.

When the scarecrow's head falls off, the rice stuffed inside will spill out.

According to local villagers, this is a good omen for them.

The reason was that a patient at home who had been ill for a long time suddenly recovered, and that day all the scarecrows in the field lost their heads..."

This kind of supernatural content has appeared and quickly started to ferment on the Internet.

Some people seriously refuted the rumors from a scientific point of view, and there were also many people who participated in it seriously and falsely, making the topic more and more popular.

"I am from Nanzhao County. It is said that someone really saw the goat standing and walking. I found a surveillance video. You can take a look!"

"I watched the video, and it was clearly faked through post-editing. Everyone must believe in science. There are so many weird things in the world."

"Brothers, please pay attention to me. I went to the ghost village to explore the secrets two days ago. I will edit the video and send it out in the next two days. If nothing else, the name of this village is very strange. There are only two words, Fengmen. !”

"Something strange happened in our village not long ago. Many investigators came to investigate, but there was no result. Suddenly one day, the sick people in our village recovered one after another. When they came out, they found that all the scarecrows in the fields had been chopped down. head.

What's even more strange is that the investigators, as well as the mysterious person who has been leading the investigators in their investigation, have disappeared one after another.

No one knows what happened that night.

There are rumors in the village that gods have appeared, and the custom of cutting grass and chopping up little people has begun to form.

I just want to ask, are there really gods in this world? "

All kinds of comments became more and more heated, and many of them mentioned the comments of the team members.

However, these protagonists actually had no time to care about this matter. They were rushing back to Dongshan Prefecture from all directions to deliver tasks to Zhao Qi.

Although they left, the various rumors they left behind are lasting.

Some people who don't know the truth just take it as a joke, while others take the opportunity to make excuses and enhance their presence.

In short, this is a carnival among netizens. Except for those who have experienced it personally, no one really cares about the truth.

Whether it's a ghost village in the mountains, a weird goat man, or a scarecrow, all of these things will slowly subside over time.

Only the local people would care and even attribute such things to gods that they did not understand.

Just like the village Zhang Lingyuan went to, soon after, all the villagers raised funds to start building temples.

Perhaps for them, the idea of ​​​​the gods appearing as ghosts is more acceptable.

As for what the truth is, the team members will naturally not disclose it.

So the final result is just a matter of opinion.

……

"Supervisor! Supervisor!"

Zhao Qi, who was preparing in the temporary office to inspect the final project, suddenly heard shouts from outside.

He walked towards the sound with some confusion, but saw an academician hurriedly running over from a distance:
"They're back and heading this way now!"

"Who's back?"

Zhao Qigang didn't react at first, but then he saw Zhang Zhenshan and Wang Wuchen walking from a distance.

Wang Wuchen was also holding a sand leather bag in his hand, and there was obviously something alive in the bag that was struggling.

"Wuchen, Zhenshan!"

Seeing the two of them, Zhao Qi felt sincerely happy.

He has been worried about the team members' independent actions this time and does not know whether they are competent.

What's more, the front line of this operation is so long. Three months are about to pass, and there is still no news of the team members. Zhao Qi is getting more and more anxious every day.

Now, after finally seeing the two of them, Zhao Qi's anxious heart finally calmed down a little bit.
"Emissary, we are back!"

Wang Wuchen and Zhang Zhenshan came to Zhao Qi with smiles. They had never felt so cordial as now.

"Okay, just come back!"

Zhao Qi patted Wang Wuchen and Zhang Zhenshan on the shoulders. There were thousands of words to say, but when they came to his mouth, he couldn't say them out.

"Why did it take so long?"

Facing Zhao Qi's concerned inquiry, Wang Wuchen shook the sandbag in his hand:

"Supervisor, we found a weasel spirit this time. This guy's illusion skills are very good.

Unknowingly, we were trapped in that illusion for more than two months.

Fortunately, we managed to capture it in the end, so we quickly came back to resume our lives. "

While talking, Wang Wuchen dropped the sandbag in his hand on the ground.

"Ouch!"

It took a long time for the thing inside to crawl out, and the face on the furry head was already twisted in pain.

"Take it easy..."

Weasel actually stood up holding his buttocks, but when he saw Wang Wuchen and Zhang Zhenshan, he immediately restrained himself:

"Two masters, what are you going to do with me? Can you give me a sweet word?"

Zhao Qi also didn't expect that this weasel was actually a chatterbox. He sensed the weasel's demonic aura and it was indeed difficult for the team members to deal with.

"Weasel, open your eyes, this is our envoy, don't be presumptuous!"

Zhang Zhenshan scolded the weasel sharply, and then the weasel noticed Zhao Qi standing next to him.

It couldn't feel any threatening aura from Zhao Qi's body, so it felt a kind of contempt from the bottom of its heart.

"Who are you? Why did you catch me?"

Zhang Zhenshan's eyes widened and he was about to scold him, but was stopped by Zhao Qi next to him.

Zhao Qi lowered his head peacefully, looking at the weasel spirit who was only half a man tall, and then pointed at the city wall standing on the coast not far away:

"Do you know where that is?"

The weasel looked in the direction Zhao Qi was pointing. It was easy to tell from the hollow look in his eyes that it didn't know at all.

"Where is the border of this world? Feel it for yourself and see if there is a lot of Yin Qi permeating the sea surface."

The weasel dispersed with some curiosity, and his consciousness gradually spread towards the sea.

But suddenly, a pair of huge and scarlet eyes suddenly appeared in his mind.

There was a suffocating sense of oppression in these eyes.

The weasel staggered back a few steps, followed by a shiver of fear all over his body.

He has a very keen sense of breath, and in the breath just now, he felt a great threat.

"The ones hiding in the sea are demons who try to invade the human world. It's your fate that you can come here, so I'll get straight to the point.

Are you willing to continue to be your monster, hiding in the middle of the barren mountains and mountains, where it is difficult to establish yourself?

Or do you want to become a god once again, guard a border and gain incense from the people? "

Zhao Qi's question made the weasel silent for a few seconds, and then he looked at Zhao Qi and asked questioningly:

"Just you?"

Weasel couldn't feel any breath from Zhao Qi's body, so in his opinion, this was just an ordinary person.

An ordinary person would actually talk nonsense about becoming a god in this apocalyptic world. Naturally, Weasel would not believe it.

Zhao Qi smiled, and then gradually dissipated his aura:

"That's right, it's just me!"

Suddenly, the aura around Zhao Qi connected the heaven and the earth, and the weasel's widened pupils even reflected the heaven and earth behind Zhao Qi.

"Pfft!"

The weasel knelt down and looked at Zhao Qi in shock. Even when he spoke, he began to speak incoherently.

"You can't see Taishan, but there is an expert like you in this world?

Are you serious about what you just said? "

At this moment, Zhao Qi had already got the weasel's answer, so he waved to the academicians not far away.

The academicians hurried forward, but the weasel did not resist, and was taken away by the academicians in a daze.

Soon after, other team members also returned one after another. Everyone had experienced a lot, and when they met again, they couldn't help but feel a lot.

The weasel spirit brought back by Zhang Zhenshan and Wang Wuchen, the rat spirit captured by Zhang Lingyuan alone, and the goat spirit brought back by Li Wanran and Feng Qiqi were all temporarily locked in the room with the formation.

Now they all know their fate, and this is one of the few opportunities for them to change their fate against the odds.

Becoming a god is something they can't even think about.

Who said there won't be pie in the sky?

Even if you lose your freedom, even if you have to guard the border from now on, so what?

When I was hiding from XZ before and everyone shouted for beatings, did I feel free?
Outside they will always be just unaccepted monsters, never having a place of their own.

But now that I can become a god and enjoy the incense of the world openly, even if I can only live in this place for eternity, what's the harm?

That night, the three spirits with different origins did not have any conversation with each other.

The rat spirit was unable to speak, while the weasel and goat spirit were silently digesting this hard-won surprise.

In another conference room not far away, the team members enthusiastically told Zhao Qi their experiences during this period.

Zhao Qi just looked at them quietly, his face finally filled with a smile he hadn't seen for a long time.

Even though they are similar in age, Zhao Qi is a second generation human being after all, and he has led these people on this path one by one.

Zhao Qi didn't want anything to happen to anyone, but he knew that if they continued along this path, one day they would face greater danger.

This complex emotion began to appear from the moment Zhao Qi recruited these team members.

But there are many things that even Zhao Qi can't help himself.

The future of mankind has begun, and it is facing the most important moment. Some of those involved in the game will eventually sacrifice.

Whether it's these players or himself.

This is destiny...

"Everyone, I'm glad you came back in time. At this point, my previous plan can be declared successful."

Zhao Qi looked at the team members and praised them without hesitation:

"You are all good, no matter who you were before or what kind of life you lived, it doesn't matter.

You have used your actions to interpret your responsibilities as a member of Qintianjian. I know this road is not easy to walk, but I am glad that you have all taken the first step. "

When Zhao Qi said these words, he especially glanced at Feng Qiqi

Among everyone present, apart from Feng Qiqi herself, only Zhao Qi knew that Feng Qiqi had ever thought of leaving.

But these are not important in Zhao Qi's view. At least according to what Li Wanran just told, Feng Qiqi played a crucial role in this operation.

Feng Qiqi looked away, her thoughtful look always made people want to explore.

"Emissary, what should we do next?"

Wang Wuchen asked the question he was most concerned about, and this was what Zhao Qi wanted to say next.

“Three months passed in the blink of an eye. The border wall was built and four gates guarded one side. This was the result of everyone’s hard work day and night.

From the coldness of autumn to the heavy snow now, while you are working hard in various cities, Dongshan Prefecture Sicheng County has never stopped moving forward.

Now is the time to face the situation we cannot escape. "

The expressions of the team members began to become solemn, and they naturally knew that what Zhao Qi was talking about was the demon hiding deep in the seabed.

“The formation deployed on the sea can delay the attack for three months, which is already the limit.

I believe it won’t be long before demons can enter the human world through the abyss of heaven…”

There was a bit of worry in Zhao Qi's eyes, because even he couldn't predict the outcome of this battle.

I originally thought that as a second-generation person, I could always predict the future and nip all risks in the cradle.

But now it seems that God is not as good as man, and the outcome of this battle is still hidden in the invisible haze.

Taking a slow, deep breath, Zhao Qi stabilized his thoughts, and his eyes gradually became firm.

“The Conferring God Platforms above the four city gates have been built, and at noon tomorrow, the Conferring Gods will officially begin.

Each of the four city gates has a god, and the four gods guard the place. It is thought that even those demons will not be able to easily trespass.

At the same time, you must also be prepared. There is no more preparation time left for you.

We can only win this battle but not lose, and we will do whatever it takes to win!"

Zhao Qi's words reached the ears of the team members. How could they not know the weight of it?
This day has finally come.

……

That night, all the construction workers at the four construction sites in Sicheng County, Dongshan Prefecture, got on the bus uniformly and were sent out of the city overnight.

Until the project is completed, these construction workers still have no idea what the purpose of everything they built is.

Large-scale equipment was started one after another and evacuated overnight. The construction site that had been bustling for several months suddenly became deserted.

When the white snow falls, the whole city is covered with a layer of white gauze, which always gives people a sense of tranquility.

The towering city wall protects the entire city. On the outside is the endless sea, and behind is the city where human beings live.

The three-month project finally came to an end in this loneliness.

When the construction workers left, they were even reluctant to leave because the order to leave was too sudden.

Zhao Qi stood alone in the darkness, looking at the endless city wall in the distance for a long time, which was in sharp contrast to the bustle of the evacuation area.

He, this giant dragon dormant in the city, is worried.

This is the borderland of the human world, and it also carries the hope for the future of mankind...
