Chapter 27: Rescuing the People (1) (Revised)
After Zhang Baisheng drove the dark cloud boat for a distance, the demon chasing disk suddenly pointed to the southwest for a while, and pointed to the northwest for a while, and the pointer on the disk swayed.
"This group of rabbit cubs is still playing this trick in front of me, here to the northwest will be almost to the same river, obviously this passerby is a fake land, used to confuse people, they must have gone to the southwest of the mass grave, the abandoned mine on the mountain extends in all directions, both hidden and easy to escape, there are too many holes and it is not easy to intercept, and there are several large caves in it, and it can also be used to set up a body filling circle, it is an excellent hiding place, I think eight or nine are not far from ten is to go there. Since you have ruined my good deeds, don't blame me for not speaking of friendship. Lao Tzu brought this group of sour Confucians behind him, and he must make you people look good. Zhang Baisheng thought as he instilled mana into the dark cloud boat, urging it to fly directly towards the mass grave.
"That demon cultivator is weird, first he fled along the road leading to Linjiang Town, and then now he turned to the southwest, isn't it a deception, deliberately taking us in circles. Shi Zhaoqiang said with a little doubt,
"Could it be that the lights are dark, and those children are not in the convoy, but near Linjiang City?"
"It's also possible, these demon monks usually hire mortals to drive them, if the mortals take those children away, this demon chasing disk will not work, if so, then it will be a big trouble. ”
"Hey, what's going on, why is this demon chasing disk swinging back and forth. That demon cultivator is obviously fleeing to the southwest, how can this pointer still point to the northwest?" Qi Xinquan said very puzzled,
"What's wrong with Senior Brother?"
"Senior Brother Qi, what's wrong?"
"The rocking of the chasing disk indicates two directions. ”
"Senior Brother Qi, this is a common trick used by demon cultivators, you may have been in retreat and penance all year round, and it is not clear for the first time to come out to do this kind of task, and there may be confusion along the way. Shi Zhaoqiang explained,
"Hmm...... It's better to be safe, Senior Brother Zhang, you go to the northwest to investigate first, and if you find any situation, immediately use the transmission note to notify me and Senior Brother Shi Zhaoqiang, and save the children first. The two of us went after that demon cultivator. After Qi Xinquan hesitated for a moment, he decisively decided to divide the troops into two ways, because they were not locals and were not familiar with the surrounding environment, so they didn't dare to give up that way, so they had to track them separately.
"Okay, Senior Brother Qi, if I find those kidnapped children, I will send a message to you and Senior Brother Shi. After Zhang Qinglin finished speaking, he took out another demon chasing disk and stepped on his sword to the northwest.
Just as they were discussing, Zhang Baisheng had already run away, and Qi Xinquan hurriedly said, "Senior Brother Shi, you and I hurry up and catch up." ”
"Okay, Senior Brother Qi, those who haven't caught up yet, I'll send them a message to avoid misunderstandings here, so that they will go a fork. Shi Zhaoqiang said,
"Well, okay, it's still Senior Brother, you think about it thoroughly, it's me who was negligent. ”
"Senior Brother Qi, you're just chasing the enemy. ”
Zhang Baisheng turned around and couldn't see the pursuers, and thought to himself: "You know it clearly, in the place where the chasing demon disk is moving, these sour people will definitely have to delay for a while." It's not far from the mass graves, and I need to speed up and find those damned fellow Daoists first, I can't deal with so many people in the back myself. ”
About a tea time, in the night appeared a few black outlines, this is the mass grave hill, said that the gang is actually composed of a relatively large main peak and several small hills of different heights, because the original first discovery of mineral deposits of the mountain is relatively short, so it is called the post here.
At this time, under the white moonlight, near the foot of the peaks of each mountain, there were many wooden or stone tombstones, and behind them were graves of different sizes bulging out of the ground.
Zhang Baisheng seemed to be very familiar with this place, did not stop at the entrance of the cave on the hills, but fled directly to the highest peak, he first fell to the foot of the mountain, received the dark cloud boat into the storage bag, and after the operation was decided, he carefully released his divine sense, probed the surrounding situation, and repeatedly confirmed that no one was ambushed outside, he walked to the nearest hole, squatted down and checked it by the moonlight, and found that there were no footprints in and out, and there were no rut marks, and walked to the next hole, and after walking through five or six holes, near a small hole that was only two people wide and more than one person high, he found a large number of footprints in and outNot far from the entrance of the cave, there seemed to be traces of vehicles parking, and there were many rut marks extending into the distance.
"Those guys seem to have entered from here, and they didn't even clean up the footprints and ruts, which is really careless. Zhang Baisheng thought in his heart, the movements in his hand were not slow, and he pinched the mantra and released the stealth and levitation techniques on his body, and just wanted to enter the cave but stopped, raised his hand and played a spirit talisman, and after seeing that there was no reaction, he floated in with confidence.
After entering the cave, there was no moonlight illumination, it was dark inside, and he didn't dare to use illumination, although the monk's eyesight was far better than that of mortals, but there was also a limit, he had to move slowly, every time he came to a fork in the road, he first released the spirit talisman to see if there was a trap or a magic circle of warning, and then squatted down to carefully check the traces on the ground, and he walked that one after the more footprints on the fork in the road.
After about a stick of incense, Qi Qingquan and Shi Zhaoqiang of Xuanyang Academy, under the guidance of the demon chasing plate, also came to the mass grave, looking at the tombstones and grave bags everywhere, as well as the ghost fires that came out from time to time, making people feel uncomfortable.
"Senior Brother Shi, the Demon Chasing Disk shows that the Demon Cultivator is in these mountains, see that there are holes in these mountains, you and I can't search for them, you send another transmission note to those senior nephews, let them speed up and come over, I will also send one to Senior Brother Zhang, ask him about the situation over there, I think there may be a suspicious soldier deliberately set up by the Demon Cultivator, and this is where they store their children." Qi Xinquan stood at the foot of the mountain, observed the surroundings and said,
"Okay, Senior Brother Qi, I'm urging them to come over quickly. After Shi Zhaoqiang finished speaking, the two of them each sent out a transmission note,
"Senior brother, I feel very strange, if this is a place for them to store their children, the demon cultivator just now shouldn't have guided us here, we should have taken the third path in the place where the demon chasing disk was abnormal. ”
"Yes, I'm also very puzzled when I get here, looking at the surrounding environment, it is indeed a good place to set up a body filling array, he shouldn't have brought us here, but to say that this is not a place to store children, I don't believe it either, this spirit-level demon chasing disk shows a large number of demonic qi fluctuations, obviously there are a lot of demon cultivators active. ”
"It's really hard to understand. Shi Zhaoqiang replied with a frown.
