I am cultivating and becoming a saint in a parallel world

"Report, the sound of the first group is broken, and the position is inaccurate."

At the proctoring base, the logistics personnel responsible for tracking the first group in real time explained the situation to Fo Tiaoqiang: "It should be that the signal was blocked after entering the mountain."

"Can the invigilator be contacted?"

"It's also disconnected."

"There won't be any problems, right?" Sweet and Sour Carp was a little worried, "The test questions this time are inherently difficult, and they can be considered a Class B case."

"This is a normal phenomenon after entering the mountains, don't scare yourself." Dongporou said, "Don't forget, they killed a nightmare beast in Hangzhou, and they also performed a second-class meritorious service on the way back. "

Although they haven't graduated yet, the combat effectiveness of this group has surpassed many B-type groups. Otherwise, they would not have given such a case as a test question.

"Having said that, even if something happens, Senior Brother Xu will still be here."

Hearing this, Buddha jumped over the wall and said: It is better that he is not here.

Sweet and Sour Carp nodded slowly, agreeing with Dongpo Rou's words.

"In case of an accident, the invigilator will immediately activate the emergency plan." Fo Tiaoqiang said, "Continue to follow up."

"Yes."

……

"What's wrong?" Wu Qiqi saw Wei Xuanshang looking at the door and walked over in confusion, and also saw the painting on the door.

"fox?"

The two looked at each other.

At this time Wu Shousong also came over.

“Why put a fox on the door?”

"I don't know. Let's wait until Kong Xiuyuan and the others come back."

The old man not only made his own breakfast, but also made theirs.

Each person has a bowl of rice noodles and a bowl of green soup. When she was making this bowl of green soup, Wei Xuanshang and others were watching. She mixed the tea leaves and ginger and mashed them together, then put them into the pot and boiled them. After they were cooked, they poured them into the bowl and put them in. Some chopped peanuts.

When picking rice noodles into the bowl, the old man pointed outside and asked Wei Xuanshang.

Although she didn't understand, she could guess that she was asking Kong Xiuyuan when they would be back.

After Wei Xuanshang explained, the old man urged them to eat again.

So a few people who had just had breakfast less than two hours later had a second meal.

"Do you have cash?" Wu Qiqi asked Wei Xuanshang in a low voice while eating.

"The conditions at Grandma Xie's house don't look very good. We have eaten so much of her food, and I want to leave some money."

"I don't have cash either." Wei Xuanshang said, "It doesn't matter. When we finish the task and go out to change, we can buy some things to send over."

"it is good."

Wu Qiqi could finally enjoy the meal without any psychological baggage.

The rice noodles are delicious, but the taste of the green soup is a bit strange to all three of them.

However, under the gaze of Grandma Xie, they still had the courage to finish the drink.

After dinner, the three of them rushed to wash the pots and bowls. About half an hour later, Kong Xiuyuan and Shen Xuanyi came back from outside.

They brought a boy of [-] or [-] years old, short in stature, with dark complexion, and showed white teeth when he smiled.

He asked people to call him Xiao Ding. Xiao Ding can speak fluent Mandarin and has no problem communicating with Grandma Xie, and he quickly stepped into the role of translator.

"He said that she met your colleague when she went out to dig for medicinal materials, and it was on that mountain." He pointed to a mountain in the southwest and said to Wei Xuanshang and others, "At that time, your colleague was covered in blood and was lying on the ground. At the foot of the mountain.”

"Grandma Xie was frightened and hurriedly ran to the village chief's house. Then the village chief led people to take your colleagues back home. One of them woke up and gave the village chief a phone number, and the village chief helped dial the number. Go. A group of people came from outside that day and picked them up."

"Do you want to go to that mountain? I can take you there." Xiao Ding said, "I also went to help carry people that day."

"That's great." It happened that Wei Xuanshang didn't want to trouble Grandma Xie to lead them there, because from Xiao Ding's description, the place was not close.

"We have another question, please ask it for us." Wei Xuanshang pointed to the paintings on the door, "Do these two paintings have any special meaning?"

"This, the paintings on it are mountain gods." Xiao Ding said, "Every household here will post their portraits, which can keep us safe."

"You think the fox is a mountain god?"

Wu Qiqi was quick to speak. Seeing Xiao Ding's expression, Kong Xiuyuan hurriedly explained: "We didn't mean to offend, we were just a little surprised."

"This is our tradition here. It has been like this since a long time ago." Xiao Ding continued, "As long as the children who grow up here believe in the mountain god."

"Then do you have any legends about mountain gods?"

"Yes." Xiao Ding said, "Legend has it that a long time ago, our ancestors came here to escape the war, but they encountered robbers on the road and stole money and food. So the ancestors had nothing after entering the mountains. There is no place to live, no food or clothing.”

"But the next day, when they woke up in the woods, they found that all the things stolen by the robbers were back. Not only that, when they walked out of the woods, they also saw two houses made of bamboo. There were tables in the houses. There was smoke coming from the stove, and when I opened the lid, I saw hot breakfast."

"The ancestors were very surprised and thought that gods were secretly helping them. They ran to the yard and kowtowed to express their gratitude in all directions."

"Then two foxes, one white and one red, appeared in front of them and said that those were not gifts from the gods, but given by them. They are the gods of this mountain, and their duty is to protect every living thing on this mountain."

"Since then, we have lived under the protection of the mountain god for generations."

……

The five of them said goodbye to Grandma Xie, and were led by Xiao Ding to the foot of another mountain, which is where the 238 group had its accident.

"There is a temple on this mountain that enshrines the statues of two mountain gods." Xiao Ding said, "Do you want to go and see it?"

"sorry to bother you."

"No trouble, come with me."

Xiao Ding led the way, and the five of them followed into the mountain.

This kind of mountain is different from the one that has been developed into a scenic spot. There are no formal roads in it, so you have to walk hard.

After walking for more than ten minutes, there was still no decent road, not even the kind that had been stepped on.

"Xiao Ding, don't people in your village come to this mountain often?"

"The mountain god doesn't like to be disturbed. We only come here once a year." Xiao Ding took the hatchet in his hand and chopped the branches blocking the road in front.

"Don't you have a fixed route up the mountain?"

Even if it comes once a year, there should be some traces.

"Xiao Ding?"

"What about people?"

The five people stopped immediately.

But there was no human figure around, and no sound of human activity could be heard. The whole mountain was silent, except for the rustling sound of the wind blowing through the leaves.
