Desperate Night

Sitting at the end of the bed, Yu Hong let out a breath.

'I still have to go back. It's so inconvenient if I don't have money here.'

He threw away the keys, walked to the terrace, and looked down.

Facing the harbor below, a ship passed back and forth, sounding loud whistles from time to time.

The afternoon sunset revealed a faint blush between the thick clouds, looming faintly.

A group of seagulls kept flying around the port, as if they were performing some collective ceremony.

"That's great." Yu Hong took a deep breath and greedily smelled the aroma of various dinner cooking in the air.

I really want to stay here forever.

but.

Suppressing the regret in his heart, he put the key away, turned around, opened the door, and left the room.

Leave the hotel quickly.

He started running slowly, like those sports enthusiasts exercising, running towards the outside of the port.

About twenty minutes later.

He ran along the road to a deserted beach that was completely deserted.

The beach was rugged, steep and dangerous, and the sea water violently hit the rocks one after another, causing splashes.

Yu Hong jumped up and gently jumped onto a larger black rock, calling for the black ship in his heart.

Soon, black mist slowly emerged in front, and not long after, an old black ship appeared in front of him.

After jumping on the boat, Yu Hong looked back at the rocky beach, with a trace of nostalgia in his eyes that he didn't want to go back.

The black ship slowly took him, completely submerged in the black mist, and returned in the direction from which he came.

More than ten minutes later.

The black mist parted in front, revealing the wooden bridge of the camp.

Under the wooden bridge is still the rolling water of the Black River.

The air temperature has already returned to more than minus 100 degrees.

Bang.

Yu Hong jumped off the boat and strode towards the front of the camp.

When he came to the front, he checked the ultimate door. The door was protected by three walls, with only one side showing a blue halo.

From time to time, waves of unknown blue light rushed out of the door. Then a large group of black people from outside came over and confronted the blue light thing.

‘How do you get money quickly over there? ’ Yu Hong thought for a moment and said, ‘It’s best to do it legally. ’

After a while, he returned to the cave to check the communicator, and found that there was still no contact. He simply put on his suit, left the camp, and rushed towards the nearest town.

Soon.

White Rock Town.

Yu Hong walked all the way on the white and snow-covered street.

Some of the houses on the left and right sides collapsed, some were buried, silent and empty.

Soon, Yu Hong paused and found his target.

Uh-huh.

He appeared in front of the shop in the blink of an eye, and when his inner energy activated, a large amount of snow powder on the ground around the shop exploded.

A large amount of snow powder was blown to both sides, revealing a large deep pit.

The bottom of the pit is the entrance to this store.

‘Refreshing gold’

This is the signature of this place.

Yu Hong forced the door open, bent down and walked in.

The counter inside showed signs of being smashed, but most of the gold jewelry was still there.

Yu Hong stepped forward, randomly selected a few easy-to-wear gold bracelets and rings, removed the labels, and checked to see if there were any marks.

None of these. He just put away the gold and turned to leave the store.

‘As a start-up capital, it’s enough. Other legitimate income is easy for me. ’

With the gold jewelry in hand, he quickly called the black ship, changed his clothes, and returned to the world of Ponderosa Island.

He randomly found a gold recycling shop on the street and sold the gold bracelets and rings at a cheap price. Then he had more than 50,000 yuan in cash.

Back at the hotel, Yu Hong paid the money and just in time for dinner, he changed into a black shirt and jeans and went downstairs together.

There are four people eating.

The old man and the girl, Yu Hong and another middle-aged woman with a haggard face.

In the small hall, three dishes and one soup were placed on a simple trestle table.

Fried meat with green pepper, scrambled egg with tomato, boiled fish fillet, kelp, tofu and scallop soup.

"Come on, come on, you're welcome. I've prepared the dishes for six people, so eat as hard as you can!" the old man greeted warmly.

Yu Hong looked at the dishes in four pots on the table, and also picked up the bowl and got up to add rice.

Everyone added their food and started eating, and the old man began to talk about the gossip and local news he heard while walking outside today.

As he spoke, he looked at the middle-aged woman.

"Sister, how is your son's situation there? Can he come out?"

"It's not clear yet. He said yes, but he's still going through the process, so he asked me to wait." The woman lowered her head and said sadly.

"I have apologized to them, paid them money, and knelt down in front of them, but..." "Speaking of which, before I came back just now, I heard that a case very similar to yours happened in the south of the city. I heard from the neighbors. , It seems that a group of young people made an appointment to go to a rural village, but there were three of them when they went, and only one came back. "

"My son doesn't even dare to touch chickens at home, how could he kill someone!?" The woman covered her face and cried softly.

"There have been quite a few cases like this recently, and they are all such senseless cases." The old man sighed. "Some people say that something unclean is causing trouble. I don't believe it, old man."

Then he rambled on about several other cases, complaining that the police couldn't solve the case and just kept muddy. But there were many things that the locals couldn't get past. Everyone knew what was going on, but it was hard to say it out loud.

Yu Hong listened quietly and didn't say a word. From the old man's words, he had a vague feeling that something might have penetrated into this place and started.

After finishing the meal, he praised the old man with some satisfaction. He had not eaten such a normal meal for a long time, which made him feel that everything he ate was like delicacies from the mountains and the sea, extremely delicious.

After dinner, he went for a walk and soon found a black Internet cafe on the side. He went in to charge money and turned on his phone.

The old computer machine made a small buzzing sound, and the fan worked hard to dissipate heat.

After a while, a huge logo flashed by.

What follows is a somewhat familiar operating system interface.

‘It’s almost the same as the computers I’ve used before. ’ He was a little glad that he didn’t have to adapt again.

Skillfully click on the web page and enter the three words Tianshifu.

Soon, with a snap, rows of items were clearly listed.

He quickly found the official website of Tianshi Mansion and clicked in.

Suddenly the screen flashed, and a photo of the Taoist palace gate under the setting sun appeared in front of him as a background image.

On the door, which is dominated by gold and red, is a huge Tai Chi symbol.

The words Asong Taoist Federation, Xiantian Nine Sects Federation, Tianshi Mansion Global Federation General Sect, etc. are marked with blue watermarks at the top.

"It's very formal." Yu Hong continued to click on the next page.

When you enter the website, it has a structure similar to that of a general organization website, with drawer-like options. After you click on an option at will, link structures like mind maps pop up.

Soon, he found the specific content of the Nine Innate Sects.

‘The Nine Xiantian Sects are the nine major inheritance schools established based on the hundreds of sects of Taoism, large and small, tracing back to their origins. The nine gates each represent the continuous inheritance of a line from ancient times to the present. ’

‘Members of the nine gates: Yuan Tianshi’s Mansion on Yunchong Mountain, Xia Yuan Tianshi’s Mansion, Jinxiao Temple, Yunshen Temple, Mowen Palace, Dayunluo Temple, Zihe Palace, Qingxia Palace, and Taishang Ningxu Palace. ’

Yu Hong memorized these nine names, then opened a new web page and began to search for traces of grievances.

But almost all of what I found were the original texts of ancient books, or myths and legends such as storybooks, and none of them were modern.

He thought for a moment and changed it to Black Disaster.

But still can't find it.

Then change it to black mist.

It came out this time.

There are tens of thousands of search terms in a large area, many of which are related to games and novels.

Yu Hong patiently clicked one by one.

Finally, after more than an hour, he stopped the mouse and looked at the screen.

‘In April 1942, Mo Wen Gong Buyu Zhenren coordinated with the Northern Military Region to carry out special operations and successfully sealed three high-risk black fog holes. ’

This is a piece of memory mixed in a biography.

Yu Hong continued his search.

Soon, I found a similar text in a travel diary.

‘Mount Qiheng more than forty years ago, although the mountains and rivers were beautiful, was also dangerous due to the existence of the black fog cave, and those who entered could not find the direction. Later, the Celestial Master from the Shangyuan Celestial Master's Mansion came to perform a ritual. Miraculously, after the ritual was completed, the black fog hole also disappeared. It has since become a long-lasting tourist attraction. ’

Not only that, he also continued to discover the existence of black fog holes in some travel biographies.

The cave entrance with black mist emerging from it is a common description used by almost everyone.

‘Sure enough, the black disaster probably started to erode here very early, but the nine innate gates of this world were blocked and blocked everywhere, forcing the black disaster to be delayed and suppressed until now. ’

Yu Hong found out that it is now 2012, which is very similar to the time of the earth at that time. They are both solar calendar times of more than two thousand years.

As for the records of black fog caves here, apart from the Asong region, there are also records from various other countries.

He sat in front of the computer all day long, constantly searching for web records in various languages.

There are no walls here, and you can link to foreign web pages at will.

So the translator also started operating at full power, using online dictionaries, pronunciations, glyphs, articles, etc. to be entered quickly.

By 11 o'clock in the evening, Yu Hong's translator had mastered the pronunciation of more than fourteen languages ​​of this place.

Except for a few languages ​​with different word orders, most of them can be translated simultaneously.

Yu Hong also found more than 80 official records of black fog holes.

In addition to the Nine Innate Sects, there are also two major sects of Buddhism: Vajra Sect and Shura Sect. These two have also shown traces on the Sealed Black Mist Cave.

Yu Hong thought of the high-risk black disasters he saw near the light spot. There were thousands of them, and then he looked at the black fog holes that were being sealed here.

‘If the black fog hole is just a spot of light, then if this place can be kept from being destroyed by the black disaster, then it is really too strong! ’

Yu Hong felt a little excited.

This is the first force he has truly encountered that can confront the source of disaster and ensure self-protection.

The previous Taiyuan Orthodox Sect, Zhengyuan Sect, and the forces with the background of his practice were once very powerful, but in the face of the source disaster,

Either the family is destroyed, or the world of his own is also destroyed. This is recorded in the instructions certified by Black Seal himself.

At this moment, Yu Hong was truly the first to encounter a major force that could confront Black Disaster head-on.
