Chapter Twenty-One: The Red Fire of the Earth
Since its establishment, the mission has always imposed an iron-fisted policy against the illegal infiltration of foreign practitioners.
It is rumored that the Heavenly Gang and Earth Demons, composed of thirty-six heaven-level powerhouses and seventy-two earth-level masters, constitute the highest combat power of the mission.
In recent years, cultivators from all over the world have repeatedly entered China to make trouble, but they have all been hidden into the shadows by the big bosses of heaven and earth.
However, in the 10,000-year-long history of China, a large number of ancient ruins have been left, and even the spiritual mountains that can overflow the original qi of heaven and earth are several more than those of other countries, which undoubtedly has a huge attraction for cultivators from all over the world.
In a low bush on the northern slope of Python Mountain, five explorers wearing black jackets and sunshade scarves are quietly poking their heads out.
At the foot of the mountain is an archaeological camp, where more than a dozen soldiers are sitting together, talking and laughing and eating lunch. Not far away, several members of the archaeological team had just lifted a heavy box from the tomb.
"The people on the mission probably never dreamed that this time we would sneak into the north slope of Python Mountain and destroy their good deeds. The cultivator with the long knife behind his back said.
The other person smiled, "They think that they are on guard everywhere, and we can't find out the secret of Python Mountain, those two prefecture-level masters who are in charge of guarding are now estimated to be led by our bait and going around in circles on the highway!"
This group of people are sneaky one by one, not so much explorers, but cultivators who have infiltrated China from foreign forces.
The leader of them raised his binoculars and looked at them, and whispered, "It's almost, ready to do it!"
A small man with a sanitary beard pulled out the sunshade towel in front of him and took a few deep breaths, "Now that people are awakened everywhere in China, most of the people on the mission have been sent out to deal with emergencies, and the defense of Python Mountain is really much looser than before, and we just took advantage of the situation." ”
The leader said coldly, "Don't be too careless, now check the time, check the equipment, and after we get it, we will evacuate from the north slope immediately, and someone will come to answer on the road behind the mountain." ”
"There shouldn't be anyone in the archaeological camp who has the strength to fight, according to intelligence, there are only two prefecture-level masters in the Python Mountain Tomb, and now they have all been lured away, with the strength of the five of us, it is easy to kill those Huaxia soldiers. ”
The person at the head said coldly, "Then you can't be too careless, if you meet a prefecture-level master, everyone will go up together and set off." ”
As soon as the words fell, the five people jumped up at the same time and rushed out towards the archaeological camp at the foot of the mountain.
Just rushed out less than 100 meters, the two people who were running in front suddenly stopped, "There is a situation, everyone be on alert!" The leader shouted to the back.
The surrounding air seemed to be condensed in an instant, becoming viscous and full of oppression, and the birds and insects that were still chirping just now suddenly disappeared, and suddenly there was a terrible silence in all directions.
At this moment, a sigh sounded in the dense forest ahead, and the five people were startled, and they looked into the depths of the dense forest at the same time.
A Chinese officer in a dark green military uniform slowly walked out of the dense forest, only to see him holding his head high, his hands behind his back, and saying calmly, "Python Mountain is not the place where you should come, since you are here, let's stay." ”
While the people were talking, countless birds and beasts scattered and fled from the dense forest behind them, as if the next moment, this place was about to become a purgatory on earth.
The captain suddenly shouted, "He's a Red Fire Ground Level powerhouse, run! Shouldn't he be guarding the southern frontier, how could he appear here, the intelligence is wrong, this is a trap." ”
While speaking, the leader rushed out towards the woods on the side, and the two team members behind him were not so lucky, centered on the place where the two were standing, a fire lotus with a radius of more than ten meters suddenly soared.
The flames engulfed the two of them in an instant with a loud crackling sound, "Ah......hhh
The rest of the people were stunned, and hurriedly scattered and fled for their lives, if they met someone else, they might still dare to fight with it, but in front of the red fire of the Earth Evil, no matter how many human-level cultivators were like ants.
"You two stop him!" the man at the head was the first to rush into the forest, followed by the other two.
With a dark face, he glanced at the captain's back hatefully, pulled out his submachine gun from behind his waist, and saw a shuttle of bullets in the direction of the red fire.
The muzzle of the gun was tongued in flames, and thirty bullets were fired out in an instant. However, when the bullet was less than ten meters in front of Chihuo, an invisible heat wave swept by, and the bullet instantly turned into copper water and fell to the ground.
At the same time, another intruder grabbed the ninja knife behind him and threw it towards the red fire, the blade glowing with a long blue light, and it was not ordinary at first glance.
Chihuo's fingers flexed slightly, and he clamped the blade that was still carrying the strong wind head-on, and with a slight force on his fingers, the ninja knife broke into two sections with a wail.
It's not that the five of them haven't fought against a prefecture-level master in the past, and it is precisely because the five of them have worked together to defeat a powerhouse in the early stage of the prefecture-level that they are so confident today.
However, at this time, several people suddenly understood a truth, the strength of this prefecture-level master in Huaxia was very different from the strength of the person they had fought against.
"Ground-level high-level!" the mustache roared in despair just now, and as long as the raging fire suddenly rose on his body, he didn't even have a chance to let out a miserable howl, and the whole person turned directly into ashes.
When the captain looked back, the other team member had already been choked by the red fire, and in just an instant, the whole person turned into ashes.
"You're the devil, the devil!" the captain was frightened, and roared and rushed straight into the dense forest.
Surprisingly, Chihuo did not rush to catch up, but shook his hand and threw out a white chain, and a flying sword with cold light broke through the air.
In the dense forest, the captain fled desperately like a headless fly to the back hill of the northern slope, because on the road behind the mountain, a car was waiting for him.
However, everything was in vain, compared to the flying sword, his speed was simply pitiful, but a few seconds later, the wind that broke the sky caught up, only to hear a miserable scream, "No ......"
The long sword broke through the air, blood splattered on the spot, and hundreds of meters away, a corpse that had been split in half from the center of the eyebrows slowly fell.
Chihuo frowned slightly, and walked over without hurrying, obviously displeased with the bloody scene in front of him.
"Dust to dust to ......dust", raised his hand to eject a spark, and a few seconds later, the corpse that was split in half on the ground and the blood stains that were splashed everywhere turned into nothingness at the same time, and the mountain wind blew, leaving not even the slightest trace.
In the campsite at the foot of the mountain, two professors from the history department of Beijing University, a man and a woman, were talking in low voices.
"There have been more and more strange things happening recently, and those armored figurines moved last night, did you see it?" The female priest frowned slightly, and she looked like a great beauty when she was young.
"Who says it's not, the country of Python Mountain seems to attach great importance to it, we haven't been in touch with our family for almost two months, and I don't know if Chu Ruo delivered the letter. The man exhaled the smoke ring, his face full of sadness.
"What kind of people did you say about the two who shot last night, both of them seem to have superpowers, raise their hands and release a few white lights, and those servants who injured the soldiers will directly collapse!"
……
"That's right...... , the address given by Professor Lin should be here, why is there no more!" The envelope in the little girl's hand was impressively written on No. 308 Guxiang Street.
The little girl looked around with a blank face, Guxiang Street did end at No. 305, and walked forward for dozens of meters, when she saw that the Yuhangtang River was in front of her, Chu Ruo's whole person was not good.
"Does Professor Lin's family live in the river or what, and his Lin Xuan is also unreliable, and the phone has been turned off for two days in a row. Miss Chu's handsome little face was a little resentful, and she looked even more charming.
In the depths of the dense forest, Lin Xuan was carrying a large box of Durex, and he was trekking hard with one foot deep and one foot shallow.
Inexplicably, he sneezed several times in a row, "Nima, what's the situation? It's been the first time in the past two days, what do I do every day, it's okay to be idle!"
"Little girl, are you looking for someone?" Grandpa Lin, who had just returned from playing chess with the old guys in the park, looked at Chu Ruo with a smile with a bird cage in his hand.
"Grandpa, do you know this person, he should live around here. Chu Ruo handed Lin Xuan's photo to the old man and asked expectantly.
Isn't this my grandson! When he saw the person in the photo, Grandpa Lin's eyes lit up. No longer looking at Lin Xuan in the photo, Grandpa Lin instead looked at Chu Ruo, looking up and down for a long time, his eyes full of joy.
was stared at by the old man for a long time, and Miss Chu, who was looking at it, felt furious in her heart, "This old man shouldn't be a fool, how can he look at people like this!"
Miss Chu was born with an extremely pleasing baby face, with two long ponytails on her chest, which added a bit of playfulness and cuteness.
"Heavenly Court is full of square circles, not bad, really good, this stinky boy finally didn't disappoint me!", Grandpa Lin muttered a few words, the more he watched, the happier he became!
has been stared at by the old man like this, Miss Chu's face turned red. "Grandpa, do you know the person in the photo, if you don't know me, I'll go!"
"I know, you're looking for Lin Xuan, he can't be wrong with my own grandson!" Grandpa Lin said happily, and he was about to take the girl directly to the family.
"Your grandson?" Chu Ruo looked confused, this old man shouldn't be fooling me, it's your grandson who you have been looking at me all the time, but if you can say Lin Xuan's name, it shouldn't be the same.
"Old man, may I ask if Lin Xuan is at home, I helped Professor Lin bring a letter from home and want to hand it over to him personally. After searching for two whole days, she finally found the main owner, and Miss Chu's attitude was sincere and happy.
"This ......", Grandpa Lin hesitated, Lin Xuan, this kid hasn't been home for three days, the old man is a little worried, if he tells the truth, what if this beautiful little girl runs away again!
"If you don't go home with me first, he should be back later!" Grandpa Lin led the way, and Miss Chu followed behind, chatting with the old man while enjoying the scenery of Hangzhou.
Outside the Lin family's old mansion, when Miss Chu looked up and saw the house number of No. 303 Guxiang Street, the whole person was not good, "Specially, isn't it No. 308, Professor Lin, don't you want to be so pitiful, I have been looking for two days!"
Old man Lin saw the little girl's strange expression, and said kindly, "How about it, our Lin family's old house is okay, I think our Lin family was also a big family in the Jiangnan generation back then!"
"That's good, Grandpa Lin, slow down!"
was severely cheated by Professor Lin, who he has always respected the most, and at this moment, Miss Chu is not angry.
What age is this, there are still people living in this kind of broken house, is there air conditioning, is there floor heating, is there a bathroom, don't tell me there is no water!
In the eyes of the indignant Chu Ruo, the Lin family's old mansion seemed to have become a ruined wall, and it was no better than the looted Old Summer Palace!
Letting Miss Chu into the living room, Lin Lao changed his style of being a retired old pedant, and boiled water and tea for Miss Chu before and after, which made Miss Chu ashamed for a while.
"Could it be that I blame Professor Lin? He may have been too tired from working in Python Mountain, and he made a clerical error. ”
Miss Chu also didn't know much about the big tomb of Python Mountain, only that the two teachers worked in it for three months in a row when they were completely isolated from the outside world.
In the past three months, the two of them seemed to have evaporated from the world, until three days ago, an armed policeman found him, brought a message for Professor Lin, dragged himself to Hangzhou, and helped him personally hand over a letter to Lin Xuan.
"But why do you have to hand it over to Lin Xuan in person? Can't you send a courier!", Chu Ruo was puzzled about this point for the past two days.
Grandpa Lin's thoughts, Lin Xuan's father didn't understand, he brought Chu Ruo, a graduate student, and Professor Lin and his family almost regarded the little girl as their own daughter.
First, the little girl is naturally beautiful, and she is more sensible, and she is particularly attractive.
Besides, Professor Lin and his family also hide some dead hearts, in case the stupid boy in his family can't find a girlfriend, he can also personally come forward to protect his son with a matchmaker, I believe that the little girl is not easy to refuse.
In this way, half a year has passed, and Professor Lin and his family have never found a chance, and they were suddenly summoned by the state to the Python Mountain Tomb, and the first pass is the month.
In desperation, he could only make this decision, so that Chu Ruo could meet the silly boy of his family first and enhance his relationship.
"Come on, come on, fragrant tea with beauties, give you a taste of our Xiaoxuan's treasured best Mingqian Longjing, this kind of tea is now sold by the gram!"
In order to win over his future granddaughter-in-law, Grandpa Lin also fought hard, and he turned out the tens of thousands of pieces of one tael of the best Longjing that Lin Xuan had collected, and he also called it fragrant tea with beauty.
Hearing the price of tea, Miss Chu was shocked, and hurriedly put the teacup in her hand on the side table, and at the same time muttered in her heart, "Good guy, tens of thousands of yuan a tael, my cup can't be thousands of yuan, I can't afford to drink such a precious thing!"
At this moment, Lin Xuan, who was walking in the mountains, was upset for no reason, as if one of his extremely valuable things had been stolen by a thief, and there seemed to be nothing worth stealing at home, could it be that something happened to the unicorn box?
Thinking of this, Lin Xuan suddenly quickened his pace. It's been three days since this trip, Lin Xuan hasn't been home for so long since he graduated from college, and his grandfather is old in case there is a mistake, he regrets not crying.
