Bu Tian Gang

There is not much time left for them.

Looking up at the winter solstice, the tall mountains could be seen in the distance. Not far ahead, he and Liu Si had to get out of the car and walk around half the mountain before entering the canyon. He could only speed up the progress of reading the notes.

August 13, Beijing.

When Yinchuan returned, the demons were wiped out, and Fujikawa and his party were also detained pending trial. I plan to use him in exchange for Dong Jilan.

But I also know that Dong Jilan is very likely to have more bad luck than good luck.

Although I have lived for so many years, I have witnessed many regrets with my own eyes, but I still remember Dong Jilan's fearlessness before his departure. A few years ago, I went to see him off. At that time, he had expected that he might be lurking a lot in Japan. years, may never come back.

Every time I enter the Martyrs Cemetery, I can see the solemnity and solemnity on the faces of the newcomers. Although human beings are small and weak, there is always a glittering nobility in them. They are willing to sacrifice for their beliefs, and this belief may not only be for human beings, but also for other species, or for all species to survive.

It is this kind of character that allows human beings to stand above all living beings even with their many flaws.

August 14, Beijing.

He Yu and Kan Chaosheng knew about my apprenticeship and kept asking questions. I told Kan Chaosheng that according to his performance, the bonus that was deducted from He Yu could be appropriately added to him, and then he went to pester He Yu. .

Solve two people at once.

On August 20, I overheard He Yu's conversation with the Winter Solstice.

He Yu asked about the winter solstice, do you sometimes think that I am too strict?

I don't think I'm strict. People say that master and apprentice are like father and son. From a certain point of view, it is a responsibility. I have the responsibility to be responsible for his life. The best way is to be strict and not let him make any mistakes. Don't lose your life in action. The starting point of the winter solstice is lower than others. If he really wants to enter this industry, he has to face the reality.

I thought the Winter Solstice would say something innocuous out of love, or complain to He Yu, but his answer was beyond my expectations.

He said that I am a very gentle person, and all my harshness is just for the sake of others, because he saw me feeding a stray cat, and said that I was more like a rambutan, which seemed to be covered with thorns, but those thorns But it is soft, and when you peel off the hard shell, you can find the sweet soft meat inside.

I have eaten rambutan, and it is exactly what he described, but I don't think I am what he described.

But eavesdropping is inherently rude, and although it was unintentional, I'm not going to mention it to him.

On August 30th, the arrangements for this year's newcomers have been determined, and they are about to go to various places.

There are many people left this year, each with their own strengths. This is good news. The back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and the Special Administration Bureau will eventually be passed on from generation to generation.

August 31st, farewell.

During the winter solstice, he bought me a box of moon cakes, saying that he was not with me during the Mid-Autumn Festival, so he would give me the festival first.

In fact, I have never had any festivals. When He Yu and the others are not here, I spend every year at work. After the second group is formed, sometimes I will celebrate the Spring Festival with He Yu and them, but just have a meal together. I still can't understand human beings' dedication to reunion. Maybe I have seen too many partings. A person's life is just a gathering and separation for me.

But the winter solstice said to me, Master, this box of moon cakes represents my heart, and I hope you will be full and happy every year from now on.

I was suddenly moved.

I think I'll remember every word he said until... the end of my life?

On September 1st, the Cantonese-style mooncakes are too thick, and I still prefer the thin-skinned Suzhou-style mooncakes.

But this is the first gift from the first apprentice, so let's finish it.

After writing this sentence, I found that I also began to pay attention to some unnecessary forms? This is not good.

On September 5th, before the winter solstice left, he left me a painting and a sketchbook, all drawn by him.

In the sketchbook are the places he has been to in the past few years, there are scenery and people, he even makes me work everyday, watching Chaosheng turn into a cat eating, He Yu is lying on the sofa and playing games, Zhong Yuyi is sitting at the dining table The appearance of God while walking has been drawn.

Before going out, I injected my soul into the Changshou sword, so I could see his dangerous situation at any time. I knew that this was not good. Flying the young eagle should not leave him room to retreat in order to fully grow, so I didn't tell him. Take it as something that a master can do for his apprentice.

On September 16, Otowa Hatohiko's identity may have other hidden meanings.

On September 20th, Otowa may have set up a game, which may be related to the stone tablet.

Unsolved for the time being, pending investigation.

On September 22, the pot of Yulu was injected into life by me. I was in sympathy with it to a certain extent and could hear the sound recorded by it, but I would rather not listen to it on a whim.

Seeing this, the winter solstice could not help but let out a sigh of relief.

Many mysteries lingering in his mind have been solved.

The sudden braking caused the two people in the back seat to lean forward involuntarily. Accompanied by the driver's master, he looked up at the winter solstice and found that the sky had become dark at some point, and the wind was rolling around the gravel and raging everywhere, and the big raindrops fell quickly. , hit the window glass, making a loud banging noise.

The driver is a soldier and a local. He is very familiar with the road conditions. Liu Si asked him, "Master, is this kind of weather common?"

"It's very rare, and I rarely see such strong winds." The driver was a little worried, and the speed of the car slowed down, but the rain became heavier and heavier, and it soon developed into a heavy rain. The roads were muddy and muddy, and the performance was excellent. The jeep got stuck in the mud and broke down.

As a last resort, the three had to go down to push the car. Liu Si asked the driver to start it in the front, and the two of them pushed it in the back. After working for a long time, they finally pushed the car out of the mud pit. At this time, the rain was heavy enough to isolate everything. People shouting and yelling face to face may not be able to hear what the other party is saying, but not only the rain, but also the wind hanging like no money, the sky and the earth are blurred, the wipers are no longer working, the driver can only stop the car and wait This storm is over.

But both Winter Solstice and Liu Si saw something unusual in this sudden rainstorm.

It's not far from the destination, they don't know if the rare weather change is also related to the situation on Longshen's side.

Drenched back to the car with the warm air, all three of them shivered.

The winter solstice took a clean towel. Instead of wiping his hair first, he wrapped his notes to avoid getting wet. Seeing this, Liu Si thoughtfully handed him a towel.

The car can't drive, they can only wait for the weather to clear up now, no matter how anxious they are, it's useless. Liu Si chatted with the driver. On the winter solstice, he put a towel on his lap, opened the note again, and turned to the top. The page that was not read.

...

On October 10, Southeast Asia, it is very likely that someone is brewing a conspiracy related to monsters.

On October 11, the winter solstice may descend.

By injecting the soul of the long guard sword, I saw that a man's body wanted to invade his body through a dream. It should be a monster that has not yet been formed, but the magic energy is far stronger than the previous contact.

On October 13, the Shanghai International Conference, I didn't have to go, but I offered to go there.

On October 15th, Wu Bingtian was a little anxious, and he proposed to go directly to Japan to kill Otowa Hatohiko.

Otowa's origin has not been ascertained yet, so I don't agree to act rashly.

On October 16, there was another quarrel.

I don't deny that Wu Bingtian's opinion has some truth. Getting rid of Otowa can indeed solve most of the problems, but it is impossible for the other party to be unguarded. Maybe he is waiting for us to come to the door.

On October 22, the winter solstice was a bigger problem than I thought.

But I suddenly realized that the anger from before is no longer a problem at this moment.

As long as he can live well.

...

The winter solstice found that the records related to him ended here, and Long Shen did not add any new content later, until the conversation with Zong Ling before departure was recorded by Long Shen.

Maybe at that time, he already knew that his notebook might be seen by the winter solstice.

Although the relationship cannot be compared by depth, before seeing this notebook, Winter Solstice also thought about whether Long Shen accepted his confession, whether there was a factor of uncertainty about his life and death at that time, and there was not much time left, but while reading After finishing the notes, he no longer had any doubts in his mind.

He held this notebook in his hand, like holding a heavy heart.

I don't know when the rain stopped, and the car went back on the road, but the road conditions were not good, and the master drove very slowly.

Seeing that he had closed the notebook and put it away, Liu Si asked, "Don't read it?"

Winter Solstice rubbed his eyes: "I'm done."

Liu Si looked ahead and frowned slightly: "We must get off the bus and walk."

The winter solstice also discovered that the road ahead was muddy and dangerous, and the car could not go on at all.

The two bid farewell to the driver and got out of the car.

This place is not far from the Nalingele Canyon, but because this place is not an open scenic spot, and it is basically uninhabited, the road is very rugged and difficult to walk, you need to go up to the middle of the mountain, and then go down diagonally, for ordinary people, it is estimated that you have to walk It had been a few days and nights, but Dongzhi and Liu Si were cultivators after all. They left most of their luggage in the car, and only brought water and dry food. They traveled lightly and quickly climbed halfway up the mountain.

But the terrifying and changeable weather struck again, this time it was not a downpour, but a fist-sized hail.

The dark clouds above their heads condensed into a group, and the hailstones fell one by one. The two quickly pulled up the hats behind the down jackets, but the hailstones hit them through the clothes. rest.

As a result, after looking for it, I met two young people who came to explore the wild.

The two are amateur mountain climbers, who came here to find excitement during their vacation. Originally, this area was blocked and no one was allowed to enter or leave. However, the Kunlun Mountains were too vast. Fei, he has found that the terrain is so steep, and he dares to go further. However, it is said that there is still a line of defense outside Linggle Canyon, and even if these two people can reach there, they will also be stopped.

Seeing the Winter Solstice and Liu Si, the other party thought that they were also ALICE friends who got lost in the adventure, and couldn't help but be overjoyed.

"Dude, you are also exploring. This road is difficult to walk. Do you still go forward? If you still go forward, let's go together!" The tall boy said.

Liu Si frowned and said, "There have been military activities here recently, and irrelevant personnel are prohibited from entering. Don't go any further, and you will be stopped if you go further!"

The short young man was a little unconvinced when he heard the words: "Then why are you still..."

Before he finished speaking, he also understood. Since the other party knew about this, it would definitely not be an unrelated person.

But they were also wearing casual clothes. The short man saw that the winter solstice was carrying a long sword-like thing behind his back. No matter how he looked, he didn't look like a "military person".

The hail got bigger and bigger, accompanied by lightning and thunder, and the edge of the cloud in the distance even faintly revealed purple-black, as if a vortex was being born and brewing below.

The two outdoor explorers were dumbfounded. Although they regarded mountaineering as a hobby, they were considered experienced for so many years, but they had never seen such a strange phenomenon.

The tall man even murmured: "No wonder they say that the evil sect of Nalangele Canyon seems to be true!"

At this moment, a thunder light flashed, as bright as day, although it was already daytime, it is no exaggeration to say that the thunder light raised the brightness of the sky by at least one step, followed by the thunder, which exploded in the ear. There was a shock, and before the two outdoor explorers could react, they saw Winter Solstice draw a long sword from behind and swipe over their heads.

At that moment, the tall man thought that his head might be lost, while the short man suddenly realized that he had guessed correctly just now, and the other party was indeed carrying a sword.

The thoughts of the two people flashed, and the sword of the winter solstice has already led Lei Guang to the side.

A loud bang brought the two explorers back to reality, watching the stone beside them being scorched to black and smashed, only then did they realize that if it wasn't for the winter solstice, they would be the end of this stone.

The two looked at each other, and the tall man tentatively said to the Winter Solstice: "Master, we didn't know each other just now, I called you brother, don't bother with us!"

The winter solstice is both angry and funny: "I told you all about the danger here, don't you believe it, leave quickly, walk forward from there, go around the mountain in front, and you will see a road, I will give you a call, you can call Get in touch and someone will pick you up."

The short man said blankly, "Are you aliens?"

Winter Solstice: "...people from the military region."

Liu Si also thought that these two were quite funny, but now the timing is wrong, and it is impossible for them to allow ordinary people to enter the Nalingele Canyon.

The weird thing about the weather here is that no matter how terrifying the scene is, it will come as soon as you say it, and stop as soon as you say it. In just these few words of the four people, the dark clouds in the sky are all gone, the sun is showing its true face, and the hail has also disappeared. There is no shadow, and even the lightning strike just now seems to be just their hallucination. If it weren't for the shattered big rock, the two explorers would almost think they were dreaming.

"Well, Master, the hail has stopped and the sun has come out. Can we continue to walk with you two?"

Winter Solstice's face sank: "You didn't listen to what I just said?"

He held a sword flower in his hand, and the light and shadow flickered. The two of them didn't dare to protest any longer. They hurriedly thanked them and left in the direction of Liu Sizhi.

After walking for a while, the tall man trotted back and smiled at the winter solstice and Liu Si: "Well, master, can you leave a phone number, I can't repay the life-saving grace, go out and invite you to dinner!"

After entering the Special Administration Bureau on the winter solstice, he used two telephones, one was turned on 24 hours a day, used for business affairs, and an irrelevant private number. He gave the private number to the tall man, and the other party thanked him a lot. Just left with my partner.

The little episode didn't take much time. After all, they couldn't hurry when it was hail just now, but the winter solstice was concerned about the safety of Longshen, and they still accelerated their pace. There were several light rains and a large-scale thunderstorm on the road, but the two of them did not return. Going to hide, near evening, they finally reached the outside of Narengla Canyon.

Scattered figures appeared in sight. They were members of the Special Administration Bureau sent by Song Zhicun outside the canyon to prevent unrelated people like the two climbers from breaking in.

After the Kunlun Mountain stele was destroyed, the General Administration dispatched staff from the sub-bureaus and localities to assist. Two of the people who were guarding outside were instantly recognized by the Winter Solstice. They were the ones who entered the Special Administration Bureau at the same time as him and spent another training period together. Basang and Gu Meiren.

I don’t know when the sky darkened again, and in a flash it was the top of the dark clouds. The purple-black vortex airflow slowly condensed in the clouds, as if there was a faint sign that something was about to fall. All the air masses gradually moved and finally converged above the canyon. Focusing on the location of Longshen and their location, it is thrilling.

Although the old acquaintances met, although they were pleasantly surprised, they were not in the mood to greet each other at this moment. The beauty of Basang Gu must have heard why the winter solstice came over in such a hurry. It's night, I heard that something happened to the head of Xin, and now Bureau Song is taking over!"

Gu Meiren said: "Before you came, Liu Qingbo and the others had already arrived, and now Liu Qingbo is temporarily presiding over the overall situation."

On the side of the Special Administration Bureau, Song Zhicun had the final say, but there was a problem with the formation at the head of Xin, and he temporarily replaced him, which was equivalent to entering the formation with Long Shen. , there needs to be someone in the General Bureau, it is impossible for everyone to come over, the situation is a bit without a leader, there are many senior disciples from other sects here, but they can't command the Special Administration Bureau, at this time Liu Qingbo happened to be taking Li Haner and Yang As soon as the guard came over, he saw this situation, and immediately shouted "don't mess up", and did his part to take over the command.

Although he has no management experience, he is also the deputy head of the team during the exchange meeting. Others have no intention of fighting with him for power and profit at this time. With his loud shout, he managed to maintain the situation and not disturb the formation. people within.

When the winter solstice heard their words, he couldn't help sighing that Liu Qingbo finally had the style of a general, so he hurried in with Liu Si.

Gu Meiren looked at his back and suddenly sighed, "He has lost a lot of weight!"

Basang said: "But it's also stronger."

Gu Meiren nodded, and as soon as Basang said, she also discovered that the aura on the Winter Solstice is indeed much stronger than before. As practitioners, their five senses are more sensitive and easier to distinguish.

They were originally admitted to the Special Administration Bureau together and received training together. Even as ordinary people on the Winter Solstice, their starting point was lower than them, but maybe some people in this world are destined to shine, even if they are mistaken for gravel for a while, Covering up its own pearlescence, it will one day amaze the world.

Gu Meiren knew that the current winter solstice was no longer the same as before, and compared with them, he was even better.

The immediate crisis is not only about their safety, or the situation of Kunlun Mountain, it is even a catastrophe involving the common people. A few people are here to hold up the heavens and the earth, while all beings outside are still at a loss.

Flying sand and stone.

This is the first feeling after the Winter Solstice and Liu Si entered the canyon.

If it is not so obvious from the outside, then entering the canyon, the more you go in, the more you can feel that it is difficult to move.

The sky is not so dark that you can't see your fingers, but it is more like the darkness before dawn, with a hazy gray, but together with this gray, it is almost impossible to open your eyes. A piece of ice, scraped on the face like a skating blade, hurts and hurts.

But no matter what kind of bad weather, they couldn't stop Liu Si's advance in the winter solstice. They were struggling in the strong wind. Within sight, they could see some figures vaguely. It was estimated that they were not far from Longshen. Hurry up.

A loud noise suddenly came from the front, like something exploding, and even the ground shook. On the winter solstice, I heard someone shouting "Danger in the northeast corner", and my heart sank.

The one who is responsible for guarding the northeast corner is a living Buddha of the Gelug Sect. Although he can be invited here, he must be a leader in the practice world, but this master is old and weak, even if there are his disciples behind him. Dharma protector, but after two days and two nights of constant consumption, if he were an ordinary person, he would have fallen long ago. It is not easy for him to persist until now.

The same danger as the rupture of the seal in the northeast corner is Longshen in the center of the formation.

The black demonic energy is like a tornado that cannot break out of the formation. It is madly running around in the formation, but it can't get out. It is inevitable that the temper will become more and more manic. As a sacrifice under rage, devoured and crushed, who knows that although Long Shen does not speak, he is not so good at "mouthing". Not only can the devilish energy engulf Long Shen, but he is "sucked" into it a little bit. .

The gust of wind gradually became smaller, but the black fog in the magic circle became thicker and thicker. The winter solstice saw the magic energy surging around Long Shen, and he also saw that Long Shen was absorbing the magic energy. He didn't need anyone to explain, he quickly understood the other party. The intention of Long Shen must have wanted to use his own strength to inhale all the demonic energy from the abyss passage into his body, and then seal the passage with his own sacrifice.

But in this case, what's the point of rushing all the way here?

Could it be that he can only watch the other party die?

If you rush in at this time, it is likely to destroy the formation that everyone has worked so hard to build.

The winter solstice gritted his teeth, resisted the thought, and sealed the imperial talisman to help the living Buddha stabilize his position.

Suddenly, the array vibrated violently. The Winter Solstice looked at the position in front of him, caught off guard, and fell back directly. Li Haner held it firmly behind him, but He Yu's exclamation immediately grabbed everyone's attention. force.

The magic energy that was circling and flowing in the formation was suddenly "absorbed" by Long Shen. Everyone watched as Long Shen pulled out a long sword from the back of his hand. He slowly opened his eyes and looked over here.

As soon as everyone touched his eyes, they couldn't help being shocked by the evil spirit inside, as if they saw boundless evil thoughts.

Resentment, greed, jealousy, arrogance, and slaughter are the demons in everyone's hearts, and the soil where demonic energy breeds.

But these emotions should not have appeared in Long Shen.

"Master!" Winter Solstice had tears in her eyes.

Long Shen was slightly shocked, and his red eyes seemed to have recovered slightly. He fixedly looked at his raised hand, as if thinking about what he wanted to do just now.

Blood spilled from the corners of his mouth, as if he had exhausted his life's will, suppressing the demonic energy in his body and clamoring for his strong will to control him.

Then Long Shen opened his eyes and said a word to the winter solstice who wanted to rush over with his sword. Before everyone could react, he got up and jumped down the abyss!

The wind blew sand and stones past his ears. In fact, the Winter Solstice couldn't hear what Longshen said, but he recognized it from his mouth.

The other party said: don't come here.
