the last priest

This is a cemetery for all kinds of animals. At least so far, they haven't seen human remains, so they feel better.

It is true to say that the weather here is changeable. Around evening, large black clouds began to gather, and the original line of sky turned into a long black dragon.

Cha Wenbin looked at the surging clouds through this line of sky and said: "This cloud has a tendency to press down, we have to be prepared to deal with it, it is estimated that there will be a heavy snow, once the clouds completely cover the line of sky, There is no difference between here and night, it is best to clear a place first, we will spend the night here tonight."

As soon as Lao Dao gave an order, several subordinates immediately started to carry the scattered bones, Chao Zi and Zhuo Xiong were not idle, and Da Shan with a fleshy face proved to these fresh faces what is called real strength!

They chose a stone wall with a eaves on it. To be on the safe side, Lao Dao surrounded the city with some large bones, such as yak ribs, so that even if there were any ferocious beasts, they would not be able to rush in. God knows if there are wolves here besides the mass graves of animals, because the corpses of these animals are enough to feed dozens of wolves.

There is no firewood for living here, so they all brought anthracite, pulled a little dry grass and moss in the canyon, and set up a few small coal stoves. This group of people was divided into two groups and sat around.

Chaozi proposed to get some meat from the antelope that jumped down just now, but was repeatedly stopped by the little Zhe Luo: "No, no, this is food dedicated to the mountain god, how can you eat it? If the mountain god If we get angry, none of us can get out."

Cha Wenbin told Zhe Luo not to listen to his nonsense, this kid never passed by.

After dinner, Lao Dao came over to discuss something with Cha Wenbin. According to his inference, at the current speed, he would be able to walk out of the bison ditch tomorrow evening, so let them get enough energy to sleep at night, and his people will be responsible for the whole process. Late security work.Chaozi wanted to share the burden for them, but when he saw Lao Dao's cold face, he thought to himself: Well, you are awesome, then I will go to bed.

When they came out, they brought a total of four marching tents, and the two outside were Lao Dao. Five of them, one stood guard, and the other four took turns to rest.Cha Wenbin and the others were sent to the innermost part, which can be regarded as a kind of protection for them.

God is very kind to face and it didn't snow, but there was no other entertainment on the plateau at night except for sleeping. Everyone got into their sleeping bags early and walked all day. Little Zhe Luo just fell down Then he snored.

Zha Wenbin slept in the middle, with the flesh-faced mountain and the guide on both sides. The snoring sounds of the two people, one big and one small, played a snoring sonata that made people almost collapse. How could Zha Wenbin sleep well? After thinking about it, I wanted to come out to see the difference in the bison ditch at night.

As soon as Cha Wenbin came out, someone asked, "Mr. Cha can't sleep?"

He looked up and saw that it was Old Dao sitting next to the anthracite with a gun in his hand. He turned his palms over from time to time, perhaps the low temperature at night was really a torment for the people on guard.

Looking at this unsmiling man, Zha Wenbin felt a little interest in his heart, so he went forward to enjoy the fire together, and said: "The snoring is too loud, I can't sleep, come out and see what's different about this man-eating dragon .”

"Oh?" Lao Dao turned to look at the person whose superiors had repeatedly asked for protection.Lao Dao has seen countless people in his life, but he can't see through this person in front of him. What is portrayed on his face is not the traces of time, but the sorrow of life and death. He understands, only those who have experienced the edge of death like him will understand. This feeling, but he found that Cha Wenbin did not look like a person who had experienced the battlefield.

Cha Wenbin took out a piece of talisman paper from his pocket, went to the front of the skeleton and pasted it on, then returned to Lao Dao and said: "It's for guarding there, what you guard is something you can see, it guards What is invisible."

Lao Dao blinked his eyes, looked at the ordinary yellow paper, he couldn't believe it, and said, "Things you can't see?"

Cha Wenbin knew that he couldn't accept it. A soldier would only use strength, weapons and blood to defend security, so how could he see such a piece of paper: "I am a Taoist priest, and I don't know why they fell in love with it." , This is already the third time I have worked for them. Yes, in the eyes of many people, a Taoist priest who is just pretending to be a ghost and tricking people to eat and drink is mixed with you professional soldiers, and it is indeed a bit nondescript."

Cha Wenbin pointed to the tent inside and said, "My two brothers, like you, also served as soldiers. They used to not believe in invisible things until they saw them with their own eyes."

"I don't believe it. I only believe in the gun in my hand. If I didn't have a gun, I would have died in Vietnam. Ghost, in my eyes, it is far less terrible than those ten-year-old Vietnamese children." Speaking of this, Lao Dao's There was a ripple in the eyes, although it disappeared in a flash, it was caught by Cha Wenbin.

He went on to say: "My task is to protect you. Whether you are a Taoist priest or a monk, it has nothing to do with me. I also believe that even if there are invisible things, I dare not grasp them. Because the corpse that fell on my hand If there are ghosts, I hope they come to me for revenge, so that I can kill them again, and comfort the spirits in the sky who are fighting with the brothers!"

Cha Wenbin looked up at the sky, and said with a voice from his heart: "I don't force you to believe, in fact, I don't want to believe it either. If I didn't have these things, I wouldn't have to be so tired."

Yes, if this world really didn't have those things, how could he become a Taoist priest, how could his daughter die, and how could his son be bombed.If possible, he would rather not choose to pick up the great seal of the head. He would like to be an ordinary farmer, but now even this wish is a luxury.

"Huh?" Cha Wenbin suddenly noticed something was wrong in the sky, and stood up. Lao Dao thought he had discovered the enemy's situation, so he stood up vigilantly with his gun in his hand, and asked in a low voice, "Is there a problem?"

"Yes, something big is going to happen!" Cha Wenbin said very seriously. Lao Dao knew that the person he could protect was either a dragon or a phoenix, or a genius. The last time he was sent out on a mission, he was escorting a regular On TV, the old man on the road went to Tibet for inspection.

Lao Dao put away his gun and was about to call his brothers, but Cha Wenbin grabbed his shoulder and said, "No, it's not about the things you can see, it's the things you can't see."

As he spoke, Cha Wenbin took out the compass from his pocket and began to walk back and forth in the area of ​​the camp, measuring his distance with his feet and hands from time to time. After a long while, he began to close the compass again. Close your eyes, pinch your fingers and count.

Cha Wenbin looked at the sky and asked: "Old Dao, do you think we can go out before dark tomorrow?"

"Although this area is blank, based on the calculation of the straight-line distance, we should be able to cross the entire bison ditch between tomorrow and sunset. Even if it is curved, there will not be too much deviation."

"If we can't get out at a certain time, we will be buried here forever."

"Why, Mr. Cha is afraid?" Lao Dao knew that such a person would not be afraid of death, he must have known something.

Cha Wenbin pointed to the sky and said, "I know you don't believe my stuff, but I think a field soldier should know what the reddest star is."

"Of course!" Almost all field soldiers must judge the direction according to the season and astrology, which is the most basic survival skill. "That's Mars, brightest this season of the year."

"Don't you think it's brighter than ever tonight?" Cha Wenbin said.

Although this old knife is not engaged in astronomy, he also found that the Mars seems to be extraordinarily bright tonight, no, it should be said to be extraordinarily red!

"It seems to be a little bit, is this the situation you said?"

"If you believe it, listen to it. If you don't believe it, just treat it as me telling you a story to relieve your fatigue." Cha Wenbin glanced at Lao Dao, and Lao Dao also looked at him, "Mars, in our mouth, is also called 'Mars' Yinghuo', Xuanxi, or Punishment Star and Red Star. But like today, it ranks in the west, and it is called Tianli. It is the spirit of fire, the son of the Red Emperor. Lord of the gift of the Son of Heaven, master of the big honghe in numerology, master of death and mourning, master of sorrow. In the eyes of the ancients, it is almost a "demon star", responsible for the faults of all people and ministers, and master of drought, hunger, and war , death and mourning, evil spirits, etc. Mars is ritual in the five constants, and discernment in the five things."

"According to what you said, if the sparks are not hanging on it every day, don't these disasters happen every day?" Lao Dao asked with narrowed eyes.

"No, you see, the reason why Mars is so red tonight is because there is a star behind it half covered by it. That star is also red, and it is the 'heart mansion' among the 28 constellations. It Also known as 'Big Fire', it belongs to the Eastern Canglong Qisu, and it is also its dragon heart, representing the supreme imperial power, that is, the most supreme power in the world. If two "fires" meet, they will flash red, one evil and the other They are fighting each other, but the dragon's heart will never be able to fight against the spirit of fire. When this spark completely covers the dragon's heart behind it tomorrow night, it will be the legendary "Yinghuo Shouxin" who meets once in a thousand years!

It is said that a meteorite fell in Dongjun that year and turned into a stone after it landed. Some of the common people carved on the stone, "The land will be divided after the death of the first emperor." Pleaded guilty, then captured and killed all the people who lived around the stone, burned the meteorite, and soon returned to the west.This extremely ominous celestial phenomenon is not a good omen.

If the bison ditch is regarded as a dragon, then the dragon's heart will be completely blocked tomorrow night, and we will pass through a dead dragon. Whether we can get out depends on good luck. "
