17. Silent Walker
more
The bright moon gradually sets towards the western horizon, and the night "color" becomes thicker and thicker.
The clouds that came from nowhere gradually gathered and covered the sky, and gradually not a single star could be seen, only at the end of the sky, there was a faint brilliance.
To the west of Fuyukicho, there are sparse farmsteads and large fields to the lush forest.
Naturally, the street lamps do not extend here, and even the highway is only drawn far below the mountain, and the mountain forest in the dark night is far away from the hustle and bustle of the city, and it seems extraordinarily quiet.
If the poet is here, he may meditate and reminisce about the past; If the painter were here, he might have admired this profound beauty and decided to engrave it on the canvas forever for posterity...... But if a person with rich combat experience is here, he will inevitably break out in a cold sweat. Big Adventure 17
It's so quiet here, it's not normal!
Although the sound of insects has almost disappeared by late autumn, there should be some nocturnal birds flying across the sky, or at least the rustle of mountain winds through the trees.
But there was no sound here, it was a complete silence, a dead silence.
If you look closely, you can see that the lush trees on the hill are all standing silently, not even a leaf is shaking—but on the road below, it is clear that the night wind is blowing silently.
The mountain ...... It was as if it was completely still.
In the silence, a figure suddenly appeared.
It was a man of ordinary stature, neither tall nor short, neither fat nor thin, very ordinary. He was wearing a black "color" tights, and the thin clothes could not cover the lines of his body, and he could vaguely see the good muscles. A white mask was worn on his face, completely covering his entire face, and the hat attached to the tights wrapped his hair in it, making it impossible to see the hair.
The man walked towards the silent mountain forest step by step, without any eagerness, as if he were just a walk, but with each step he could step several meters, as if the earth had shortened under his feet.
If Cheng Peng was here, he would definitely be able to recognize that this person also used the method of shrinking the ground, but it was diametrically opposed to his pursuit of high-speed and violent shrinking of the ground, floating out of the dust, without a trace of the smell of fireworks in the world.
What was even more surprising was that the man walked slowly until he reached the foot of the mountain, but he could not hear the slightest footsteps.
The man in black stopped at the foot of the mountain, looking through his mask at the mountains and forests ahead.
In the eyes of ordinary people, the quiet mountains and forests are unremarkable, but in his eyes, they are full of colorful light, layer by layer, so dense that not even a fly can fly in.
"Sure enough, it's a magic position!" The man in black spoke, his voice low and deep, with an inexplicable magnetic "nature", so that people only need to hear his voice to feel that this is a loyal person who can be trusted, "It's the same as I guessed...... That guy...... Are you going to hide here and sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, waiting for everyone to be exhausted before jumping out and fighting the water dogs? ”
"It's a good idea, but it's stupid."
With that, he walked to the end of the road and stepped into the forest.
The light of the spells swept through him like a marquee, fell on him, and then as if there was nothing here, it passed directly without hindrance.
The man in black walked slowly through the mountains and forests, and every step was worth several steps of ordinary people running wildly.
The light of the spell kept passing around, but it couldn't stir up any reverberation in him. He was like a silent black "color" water, flowing slowly, straight to the depths of the mountain forest.
A few minutes later, he came to the front of a temple located on a hillside. Big Adventure 17
The stone steps are arranged upwards one by one, until three or four hundred steps are discharged, and at the end are towering walls and closed gates.
The magic light here is even tighter, cascading into translucent light shields, enveloping the entire temple inside.
The corners of the black-clothed man's mouth under the mask were slightly upturned, and he sneered with disdain.
Then he took a step up the stone steps that led to the temple.
He walked all the way, and his body was covered with black "color" ripples, as if the air had turned into flowing water, and he melted slightly in the water, leaving a circle of ink "color" traces.
However, no matter what kind of defensive spell it is, as long as it is touched by the traces of this ink "color", it will temporarily change "color" and lose its original function, allowing him to pass through effortlessly.
When he walked away, the ink color quickly dissolved like a little ink in a large amount of clear water, and the defensive spells of various colors and colors returned to their original appearance, as if nothing had happened.
Only the black-colored figure silently climbed the stairs, as if entering a no-man's land, and went straight past the defense that should have been like an iron wall, and came to the gate of the temple.
There is a plaque of "Liudong Temple" hanging on the lintel of the gate, and on both sides are two stone carvings, which are carved as the protector gods of Buddhism. The stone statue looks like it has some history, and its body is mottled and damaged, and it seems to be very ordinary. But if you look closely, you will see that their eyes are very unusual - they are not ordinary stones, but precious gems!
These gems are already staggering in size, and their luster is so perfect that if they are brought to the jewelry market, they may be enough to buy a luxury car or a mansion.
Here, however, they are only the eyes of stone carvings.
The man in black naturally noticed the stone carving, he carefully looked at the two idols whose identities could not be clearly judged due to the erosion of time, put his hands together lightly, bowed slightly to the stone statues, and saluted.
Coincidentally, when he straightened up, the moon was completely below the horizon.
At this time, the moon had set, the sun had not yet risen, the clouds covered the sky full of stars, and there was no light between the heavens and the earth, so dark that I couldn't see my fingers. Only in the city at the end of the eye, there is still a little light, as if the stars in the sky have fallen on the earth.
The man in black didn't hesitate and walked straight towards the gate of the temple.
He didn't open the door, but stepped straight into it, as if the solid portal didn't exist, as if he weren't a physical entity, just an illusion that could pass through all obstacles.
In the darkest hours before dawn, the man in black of unknown origin finally escaped the protection and stepped into the stronghold that might be inhabited by his enemies.
The inside of Liudong Temple is quite open, the gate used to be a spacious courtyard, the front of the courtyard is the Buddha Hall, the side is the monk's house, there is a shallow pond on one side of the Buddha Hall, there is a rockery on the side of the pond, there is a green bamboo on the side of the rockery, it is like a shrunken garden.
The land is full of spells, the Buddhist hall is full of spells, the monks' dormitories are full of spells, ponds, rockeries, green bamboos...... There are spells everywhere, and at first glance it is simply not a temple, but a living collection of spells.
It was said that so many spells must have influenced and clashed with each other - at least the man in black recognized several examples that should have been incompatible. But at this moment, they are gathered together in peace, guarding this small temple.
If you are a scholar-type player who loves to study spells, such as Wei Ye, you must study the principles of peaceful coexistence of these spells here, but the man in black only glanced at it and ignored it, instead looking at the row of rooms located by the wall on one side of the temple.
It is a guest room for tourists. Big Adventure 17
In Dafan Temple, there are services that allow tourists to live here for a period of time, away from the world, in order to cultivate their "sex", and Liudong Temple is naturally no exception.
The man in black groaned for a moment, then took a step and walked towards the guest room.
It's impossible to say for sure, but it's supposed that the target he wants to eliminate is inside the guest room.
His steps were slow, but fast, and he was outside the first room in a matter of seconds.
Without entering, he just stood in silence for a moment before shaking his head and heading to another room.
The same thing happened over and over again, and about three minutes later, the man in black groaned at the door of the last room.
The goal is not here.
This is a very unreasonable thing! The goal is bound to be here!
He hesitated, and then came to the front of the monk's house again.
…… Still not.
The futile man in black lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then raised his head and looked at the majestic Buddha hall.
Will it be there?
He took a step towards the temple of the Buddha.
The door of the Buddha hall was open, and you could see it from a distance, and the faint flame of the oil lamp danced gently, reflecting the solemn and solemn colossus in the center.
Although the man in black had hesitated a little before, after making up his mind, he didn't look back, and walked straight to the Buddhist hall, seeing that he was about to step into it.
But at this moment, at the end of the eastern sky, a white light appeared.
As if in response, the sound of chickens crowing came from the farm at the foot of the mountain.
With this rooster crow, the originally still mountain forest moved.
The mountain wind blows again, and the leaves rustle in the wind; The mountain wind swept through the temple, and some leaves fell from the trees in the temple, swirling, gently drifting in the wind.
The body of the man in black shook suddenly, sighed lightly, turned into a faint black mist, and then dissipated without a trace in the morning wind.
However, before it dissipated, he had already seen the scene inside the Buddha hall clearly.
The inside of the Buddha hall is resplendent with gold, but the colossus standing on the lotus platform in the center is just a phantom that deceives mortals.
With his mana, he can get a glimpse of the truth under the phantom.
It was a chaotic mass of shapes, spreading out many terrifying and strange tentacles!
