Chapter 4: The Lurkers
Upstairs in the scriptures, the autumn wind in front of the north window sadly brings a few yellow leaves.
The prince of Zhangxiong, who preached here, received a message from the flying pigeon of the Sun Temple.
On the letterhead, it is clearly written in Mangyuan's seal script: The 8th Shao Si ordered to die in the Mangyuan Moon Temple on the day before the Double Ninth Festival, and the Sun Temple Dashi ordered to urgently order the transmission of letters to all places and urgently recall all the missionaries outside. Ordered them to make all preparations for the search for the reincarnated spirit boy as the ninth young master of the Moon God Temple.
The matter is urgent, and the prince of the Zhangxiong tribe quickly summoned the twelve guardians of the temple and prepared to return to Mangyuan to find the reincarnated spirit child.
From now on, after leaving the Moon Temple in Baishui City, they took a boat along the Jianshui River and went upstream, arriving at the Guinu River in about ten days, and arriving at the junction of Wanzhou and Hanzhou on the seventh day to the junction of Wanzhou and Hanzhou - the Tianqi Mountain Range.
Here, they abandoned the boat and went ashore to the post station to change to the carriage and horses, and after replenishing the supplies, they took the land route and embarked on the plank road that led directly to the Mangyuan outside the Guanwai.
The plank road outside the gate stretches for 800 miles, and the road is like a belt between the Tianqi Mountain Range. Because of its rugged road through the forest and wading, there are steep mountain cliffs and the hazards of fierce beasts; What's more, bandits are rampant, and murder and stealing goods often occur.
Wearing a golden mask, the Shozo Seko sits alone in a black carriage.
On the roof of the car is a pennant with a firebird totem.
Passers-by will avoid this pennant with red stripes on a black background and gold trim from afar.
In the grassland, the firebird symbolizes authority, and it is said that the flames it spews can destroy all things, and it is called divine punishment by the world.
The Twelve Guardians of the Temple of the Sun, accompanied by black carriages, were the best-equipped cavalry on the steppe. Their fighting prowess is intimidating to many small tribes.
Fortunately, the temple has always adhered to the covenant, and the warriors of the Guardian Knights have never exceeded the rated range of three thousand. Otherwise, the overlord of the grassland, the Red Gold Khan, is afraid that he will have trouble sleeping.
The son of the Elephant Hung tribe was frail and sickly since he was a child, and it is said that he had a strange disease that could not see the light. Therefore, since he entered the Temple of the Moon at the age of seven, he has been wearing a thick black cloak, and he always wears a golden mask on his face. No one has ever seen him for what he really is. However, his father was the White Horse King of the Zhangxiong Tribe, who was famous for his handsomeness in his youth. His mother is a princess from the Yu tribe of the plateau, known as the most beautiful snow lotus on the Tianshan Mountains, and the beauty of her appearance speaks for itself.
With such excellent parents, people guess that the son of the Zhangxiong Department should also have a peerless face.
But things are often different from what is expected.
There is a ruined Moon Temple on the top of the Jade Maiden Peak in the Heavenly Forsaken Mountains, and this temple adjacent to the plank road has somehow been abandoned for many years.
When the prince of the Zhangxiong tribe arrived here, he suddenly ordered the twelve guards to stand by. He entered the abandoned Jade Maiden Peak Moon Temple alone.
As soon as the prince of the Zhangxiong tribe entered the temple hall, he took off his thick black robe and took off his heavy golden mask. Underneath the golden mask was a prince of the Elephant Division, who took off his thick black robe as soon as he entered the temple hall and took off his heavy golden mask. Beneath the golden mask was an old, pale face that looked lifeless. After losing his disguise, his body also looked a little rickety.
A fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy poked his head out from behind the statue and looked at the prince of Zhangxiong in horror.
"Ahem-" Zhangxiong Shizi said, "Don't be afraid to come out!" I'm the one you want to meet! ”
The young man walked up to the statue and saluted respectfully, "I've seen the son!" ”
The prince of the Elephant Department looked the young man up and down with bloodshot eyes and said, "Yes, although the movements are a little rusty, it can be seen that they have been practiced carefully." From today onwards, you will take over my role as the son of the Elephant Division. My body can't support me to stay on Grandmother anymore. ”
The boy nodded, silent. When he set out from Jiaozi Xing, he had read the file of the Shozo Shiko. The Shoobu Shizi in front of him is the first generation of lurkers of this identity. The file shows that he should have been only seventeen years old, but now he is too old to be human. Who knows what he experienced on the grandmother planet which was full of savages!
The prince of Zhangxiong said with emotion: "I have finally completed my mission, and I have paid enough price for it. I will get what I want and I will live forever! You put on this shabby black robe, put on this heavy gold mask, and from now on you will be the son of Zhangxiong. The great cause of saving the people of the earth depends on you to continue to accomplish it! ”
According to the teachings of the training school, the teenager habitually replied: "I will not fail in my mission!" ”
The prince of the Elephant Tribe: "From now on, your name is Fusheng, forget your previous name, don't even think about it!" ”
The boy muttered to himself, "Floating leaves? It turned out that what had happened before was not a coincidence, but a premeditated arrangement. ”
This boy is the floating leaf. His mission is to take over the identity of the Shozo Shiko as the new lurker.
The prince of Zhangxiong said, "I left you a diary in the carriage below. It contains a record of what I have seen and heard in the past seven years in my grandmother's planet, and I hope it will help you survive until the end of your mission. ”
Fushengye said: "Thank you! ”
The prince of the Elephant Hung Department said, "Okay, let's go!" ”
Seeing that the prince of the Elephant Tribes was about to leave, Fusheng Ye couldn't help but ask, "What disease did you have before?" ”
The prince of Zhangxiong turned around and said, "You don't need to know too much! ”
Fusheng Ye said: "I have blood cancer, will Jiao Zixing cure our disease for free after the mission is completed?" ”
The prince of the Elephant Tribe: "Of course! Didn't you grow up in Jiaozixing? There is no doubt about it. ”
Fushengye said: "Actually, I am a refrigerated body. Because the refrigeration contract expired and no one renewed it, I was unfrozen. When I woke up, I found myself amnesiac. I can't remember who I really am. The instructor told me that all my relatives died during the riot. ”
The prince of Zhangxiong was surprised and said, "You are a human during the Great Riot! Your body is more than 700 years old. Wow! You're my elder! Live well. Remember that your name is Fusheng, and your surname is Ye. The first name is in the front, the surname is in the back, and the full name is Fushengye. This is the traditional naming method of the barbarian Zhangxiong tribe. There are also many areas where the last name comes first, but you don't. ”
……
Wearing a black robe and a mask, Fushengye walked out of the temple gate in a nervous mood. Immediately, a return capsule roared into the sky above the temple, flying towards the explorer who was stuck in space.
The twelve guardians of the temple saw the flying saucer rise from the ground and disappear into the clouds, thinking it was a miracle, and saw the young man come out of the temple wearing a black robe and a golden mask, surrounded by a little smoke from the eruption of rockets.
The twelve guardians of the temple immediately bowed to their knees.
The floating leaves quickly integrated into the identity they needed to play.
He sat in the carriage of the temple, holding the diary of the prince of the Shoobu in his hand and reading it with relish. The beautiful Grandmother Star is truly a colorful world, and although it is full of dangers to survive here as a lurker, as long as you are careful and take every step of the way, you can safely survive the seven-year mission period. When the time comes, a new lurker will come to replace him. And he will return to Jiaozi Star, and the coalition government will use modern technology to cure him. He can live a long, long life healthy and happy.
And now his condition is only after a purification treatment, and there is a danger of recurrence at any time. To prevent a recurrence of the disease, the coalition government gave him thirteen pills. As long as he took one pill a month, his condition could be suppressed. Before the pill is finished, a liaison officer will bring a new pill and a new mission.
And the first task of his grandmother's trip to the planet is to help a girl named Renjie Qi'er become a reincarnated spirit child at all costs.
The coalition government has made adequate arrangements for this on the grandmother planet, and when the time comes, he will only need to cooperate with a few other lurkers.
None of the Sleepers are equipped with Earth-based communications. Because when they were trained, they knew that in addition to a large number of ordinary people living on the grandmother planet, there were also many inhumans with magical abilities. Some Inhumans are able to perceive communication tools from Earth's civilizations. The instructors in training warn everyone that revealing their identity as an outsider in front of the aliens of the grandmother planet means death.
As such, anything that might indicate that the lurker is not a native of the Grandmother Star is forbidden to bring to the Grandmother Star.
From the moment they set foot on the grandmother planet, the lurkers are no longer earthlings. They demanded that they must live according to the thinking and habits of the grandmothers. Just when they receive an order from Jiaozi Xing, they can play a key role.
Floating leaves have just stepped into the Emerald Star and are full of curiosity about everything here. Sufficient fear of unknown dangers has not yet been formed.
