Survival [End Times]

"Is it you?"

It was Zou Ling who knocked on the door. He also came to Yangjie with Master Zou. Yu Heng saw him in the restaurant. After entering the house, Zou Ling said, "How are you adapting?"

"Not bad. Didn't Master Zou go back? Why are you still here?"

Zou Ling took the small stool handed to him by Yu Heng and sat down casually. Hearing this, he replied, "My father is not going back to Qingsui Mountain. He is going to Qilian Mountain. My strength is not enough to go far away, so I simply don't let my father take care of me, so I didn't go."

Yu Heng poured water for him, and Zou Ling thanked him and took it. The two chatted for a while, and it can be seen that Zou Ling really just came here as a guest. Yu Heng asked, "If it's not confidential, can you tell me about the National Day Sealing Plan? Just now at the dinner table, Master Zou didn't explain in detail. Is the Sealing Plan only carried out at the top level and doesn't need our help?"

"It's not confidential. My father said that after he discusses and confirms with other masters, he will recruit capable people from all over the country. In fact, the performance of everyone in the implementation of this Sealing Plan will be used as a reference in the merit-giving meeting after the National Day." Zou Ling smiled, "Otherwise, how do you decide who to give such a good treasure to?"

"I see."

The two talked about Taoism again, and they discussed and talked happily. In terms of theory and knowledge, Yu Heng can be said to be broad-minded. Zou Ling looked at him with more and more admiration. When Yu Heng was about to go to work, he was reluctant to let him go with him.

"No wonder my sister always praised Brother Zhang. It turns out that Brother Zhang is not only kind-hearted and dedicated to the country and the people, but also knows so much. I just lack practical skills now, so it's a good opportunity for me to train with Brother Zhang. My sister is gone, so I must be better." At the end, Zou Ling's tone fell, and Yu Heng patted him on the shoulder, "Let's go."

Yu Heng took Zou Ling to work together. It happened that he was just transferred to the field because of his outstanding ability. If it is the simplest and safest to treat people and exorcise evil spirits, then it is more dangerous to go out and exorcise evil spirits in the surrounding areas of Yangjie City.

The Yinsha of the ghost den spreads outward and automatically searches for living things, and is generally blocked outside by the magic circle. Sometimes when it accumulates too much, it looks like black plasticine from a distance, which is very harmful to the magic circle. There are also fierce ghosts that escape from the ghost den. Although the number is not particularly large, all those who can escape are ruthless characters. In order to reduce the pressure on the city lions, they need to go out of the city to disperse and drive them away.

When he went out for the first time, Zou Ling was very nervous and excited. He recited spells all the way and checked the tools he brought with him again and again. His basic skills were very solid, and he quickly adapted after being busy.

In addition to exorcising evil spirits and catching ghosts, sometimes he also needs to follow the command of the monitoring department and inspect the Mingxin bells on the road. After two field trips, Yu Heng had a rough idea that it would not be feasible to build an exorcism tower in this world. The erosion of the equipment by the Yinsha was too serious, and the electronic equipment could not operate. If it was really built, the subsequent maintenance cost would be too high.

It is better to invest the main energy in sealing the ghost den than to treat the symptoms.

After successfully completing the days of the next week, Yu Heng completed a half-month work cycle and got a half-month vacation. The current situation is that there is a rotation every half a month and a half-month rest. Yu Heng's residence is in Qingsui Mountain, so he needs to take a car back. Zou Ling also gained a lot and grew a lot. He was talented and hardworking, but he lacked experience. He was only fifteen years old and the only child of the headmaster. No one dared to take him to any dangerous activities.

When Yu Heng was going back to Qingsui Mountain, he was reluctant to go back at first. Yu Heng persuaded him: "You also know the principle of forcing things to grow. Come back with me, take a rest for half a month, and then come back with full energy. If you insist on staying, your body can no longer bear the intensity of the field work."

"Okay then."

Yu Heng bought a three-pound pink cartoon-shaped cake and prepared to take it back to make Zhang Zhizhi happy. He was busy practicing in the past year and rarely accompanied her. The child was very sensible. It was rare for him to make a request, so he would definitely try his best to satisfy it. Walking on the road with the cake in his hand, the city was really lively. After adapting to the chaos, the order of life was re-established, and the streets and shops were crowded with people. So many people were crowded here, and their spending power was very good.

He saw a toy store, so he went in and chose a set of dolls. According to the store manager's recommendation, he also bought a small wardrobe with five dresses hanging inside.

"They are all matching. Girls like them. Your daughter will definitely like them!"

This year, the accommodation arranged by the state is still free, and the state financial subsidies are provided to the owners and bosses of their own houses and hotels. If you are not happy or satisfied with your stay, you can find a new one by yourself, and you can pay for it yourself. The same is true for food. That's why the business of the shops is so hot. After all, everyone's pursuit of quality of life is different.

He walked back to the building with his hands full. The bus that took them back to Qingsui Mountain was waiting at the door. Zou Ling was reading a Taoist book on the bus. Yu Heng handed him an mp3. This thing is outdated. Few people used it before the end of the world.

"It's not expensive. You can record some spells and listen to them when you have nothing to do. They will make your memory more profound."

The studious Zou Ling liked this gift very much: "I know this. My sister said she used it to memorize English words!"

The car drove slowly, and the road decorated with Mingxin bells stretched into the distance under the illumination of paper cranes.

"Master Zou hasn't returned from Qilian Mountain yet?"

Qilian Mountain is in the next province, not far away.

Zou Ling shook his head: "I just arrived the day before yesterday."

From what I heard, it took five days to get to Qilian Mountain. It seems that the road is really difficult to walk on.

"What is that?"

Zhuang Yi in the front row suddenly pointed out the window and asked in a panic. Yu Heng hurriedly looked out the window, but saw nothing. "What did you see?"

Zhuang Yi still had fear in his eyes: "A pair of eyes, a pair of eyes staring at our car, right there, and now it's gone."

Zou Ning shouted to the driver: "Stop!"

The car slowly stopped, and several Taoists got off the car carefully to check. Only Zhuang Yi saw something unusual. He walked in front to lead the way, pointing to a former bus stop and said: "It's here. I leaned against the window and was distracted. Suddenly I saw a pair of eyes. It was definitely not a human eye. It was too big! It was in a black fog. It was very dark outside, and the fog was even darker, but it disappeared quickly."

Yu Heng looked at the compass in his hand. This was given to him by Qingsui Mountain. Every Taoist on duty had one, exactly the same as the one Zou Ning had before. When approaching the station, the needle representing the value moved a large grid. The concentration of Yinsha in this place was obviously different from other places. Zhuang Yi was not wrong. Something had indeed stayed here.

He looked around, across the dry green belt to the distant building, which was submerged in the grayness. It seemed that a glass window suddenly flashed. He suddenly felt his scalp tingling, and a feeling of danger rushed up from his feet.

"Little--"

Dinglingling-- Dinglingling--

The Mingxin bells on both sides of the road vibrated at the same time, and the sound they made was chaotic and noisy. Something invaded!

"Everyone be careful!"

The Mingxin bells vibrated too chaotically, and it was unclear where the attack came from. The sound of the bells shattered the Yinsha balls, and roars came from the air. Yu Heng, like other Taoists, began to make hand seals and fingers, throwing out pieces of talismans one by one, surrounding the road to help the Mingxin bells strengthen the barrier. Soon the vibration of the bell weakened and began to slow down. A Taoist priest was puzzled: "Is it just a soulless evil spirit?" This kind of evil spirit can be said to be a ghost, or it can be said not. It is not as powerful as a ghost evil spirit that is purposefully intertwined and combined. In essence, it is a mixture of some unconsciously incomplete soul fragments. Before the birth of self-awareness, the attack is limited, and most of them are indiscriminate instinctive attacks.

Yu Heng shook his head: "I always feel that it is not like that. You see, the Mingxin Bell is seriously damaged. The soulless evil spirit can't do this."

"I'll get on the bus and get the spare Mingxin Bell to replace it." Another Taoist priest said. The car was seven meters behind him. The Taoist priest never came back after he left. The bus not far away looked far and near in the dim light.

"Something is wrong, everyone gather together." The person who spoke was a Taoist priest named Xunchuan, who was the leader of this team. He took out a communication paper crane and released it. The paper crane flew smoothly in the direction of the car. The next moment, Xunchuan's face changed. "The communication crane has lost its trace. I can't feel it. I guess we fell into a trap." As he said that, he opened a box. The box was only the size of a palm. The golden ball shot out directly broke through the darkness and exploded in the air. Golden falling flames. This is a warning firework, which is specially used to communicate with companions in the distance when the communication equipment fails.

After a minute, there was no feedback from the bus. Xunchuan immediately made a decision: "Let's go back to the bus first!"

As soon as these words came out, the Mingxin Bell vibrated wildly again, and more than a dozen bells were broken on the spot. Everyone's face changed drastically. Such damage caused a large amount of Yinsha Qi to flow into this road that was protected by the Mingxin Bell as the main body. In an instant, the wind was turbulent, and there were ghosts crying in the wind.

Several people were experienced. They almost pinched the talisman and chanted the spell at the same time. Several pieces of talisman paper flew to the leak to fill the gap. However, the invading force was too strong. The talisman paper with golden light was blown straight, and the golden light was worn and began to fade, and cracks appeared on the talisman paper.

The compass in his hand was spinning like a seizure. Yu Heng took a look at it. The compass was just broken, and his heart was lifted.

"Let's go! Go back to the car!" Seeing that he couldn't stop it, Taoist Xunchuan asked others to go back to the car quickly. He took out a small white flag about one foot long. The small flag swelled with the spell wind and soon became a big flag three meters high. The spirit flag became larger as it shook. It turned out that it absorbed all the evil spirits that poured in.

"Hurry up, I'll cover the rear!" Taoist Xunchuan shouted loudly, and manipulated the spirit flag with one hand to block the gap. The spirit flag became larger, and the wind was fierce as it swung.

Everyone followed the command and ran towards the car. They were only about seven meters away but could not reach the end. The car was like a shadow that was always going away, and people could not catch up.

"Don't run for now. We are likely to fall into an illusion."

"How is it possible? This road has consumed so many Mingxin bells that it is impossible for an illusion to invade. Moreover, the bell next to it did not move at all."

The core material of the Mingxin bell is said to come from Qilian Mountain. The incense ash in the incense burner where people listen to the teachings and chanting of sutras day and night in front of the Buddha. The bells produced in this way have a Sanskrit sound when shaken, which has the effect of calming the mind. Embedding the bells in the magic circle can also isolate the Yinsha Baolingtai from evil things during the Qingming Festival. In order to connect the two places, Qingsui Mountain spent a lot of money and made a big move.

Zhuang Yi retorted, "It's abnormal not to move."

Yu Heng looked back, and even the figure of Taoist Xunchuan was blurred. He lit a few paper cranes that were circling around everyone, and then pinched a three-flavor spiritual fire talisman and slapped it in the direction of the car. Looking at the road ahead with nothing in sight, a terrible scream broke out, shaking the eardrums.

The spiritual fire rolled around fiercely, and the Mingxin Bell, which seemed motionless on the surface, was broken and was shaking desperately. The evil ghosts that were blocked by the Mingxin Bell appeared one after another and continued to rush in with their fangs and claws.

"It is indeed an illusion, but what Taoist Zeng said is also right. It can't be a small thing that can directly suppress the Mingxin Bell and put us in the illusion. I remember Taoist Xunchuan said that unless the ghost king suppresses the realm, it can be said to be foolproof." Before Yu Heng finished speaking, Zhuang Yi's face changed.
