Chapter 404: Rebuilt Land Temple
He Changqing's sudden words made Hou Zhenbang extremely embarrassed. His excited answer was enough to show that he had been studying the Gojogahara area all these years, and although the secret hall had never clearly told him the exact location, he narrowed down the scope with the three words Gojogahara.
The three of them decided to march towards Wangjiashan overnight, after all, they didn't know when the next group of lone soldiers would arrive.
Wei Chiran wondered, Lone Army blatantly did it in the country, shouldn't they report 517?
He Changqing told him that now is a very sensitive period, whether it is 517 or Lone Army, they are all grabbing each other's pigtails, if 517 openly carries out some kind of order to expel or arrest Lone Army's disciples, the whole Alien Way will be chaotic, so the current situation is a cold war, and even if there is a conflict between the two sides, it can only be carried out in private.
And what about the iron-clad door? Wei Chiran always felt that the iron cloak gate was taking advantage of the fisherman, but it was He Changqing who provoked all this.
Wei Chiran became more and more unpredictable about what He Changqing was thinking and what his purpose was.

Myanmar at the junction of the southwestern border with China.
In the primeval jungle, a skirmish had just taken place, it was an ambush, and the ambushed people did not know who ambushed them was, only that the other party easily gained the upper hand without using any guns.
The ambushed were a group of lone disciples who were about to infiltrate China, and they planned to sneak in quietly at night, but unexpectedly, a group of ten people stepped into the ambush circle.
There was no gunshot, but someone fell to the ground, and in an instant there were only five people left in the team of ten people, and those five people didn't know what they were hit, and fell directly to the ground, each with a hole in front of their foreheads with a diameter of two centimeters.
Soon, a ghostly figure slowly descended from the tree to the center of the remainder, silently stabbing a dagger into the back of one of them and then disappearing into the darkness like a ghost.
The remaining four are about to have a mental breakdown, and although they have been trained rigorously since childhood, they have never learned to deal with unseen enemies. In the face of the fear of the unknown, they decided to retreat, but as soon as they ran away, they were knocked down by the invisible bullets.
In the end, only ten bodies were left at the scene.
When it was all over, out of the darkness came two men dressed in camouflage uniforms with oil paint on their faces and bodies. The two stepped over the corpse of a lone disciple, as if searching for something.
Suddenly, a man appeared behind them, and the man at the head was startled, turned to look, only to find that it was the leader of the dust, a man who called himself Chang Hongzhi.
Chang Hongzhi asked, "Is there anyone you know?" ”
The man in charge didn't answer, just looked for the corpses one by one, then stopped and pointed to a man who was still holding an assault rifle in his hand: "I know this, his name is Zhang Tianming, he is a mixed-race child, an operator of PW, and he was later removed, but he didn't expect to be a member of the lone army." ”
Chang Hongzhi nodded slightly: "Continue to check." ”
After that, Chang Hongzhi looked at the other person: "There has been progress, and now there is no bullet." ”
The man looked indifferent: "Now that I am much more proficient, I will not make the mistakes of Senti Island again." ”
The person who spoke was the dust member who had ambushed Wei Chiran and the others on Senti Island, that is, the guy who could shoot air bullets with his hands.
And the person who was checking the body turned out to be Bao Junhao, a long-missing former PW isolation operator.
"Another one." Bao Junhao stopped in front of a corpse, "This person was killed by me, I know him, I took him for a while before, but I didn't expect him to be too, and this person is an agent of the PW isolation faction on the surface." ”
Chang Hongzhi stepped forward to check: "The cold war between 517 and the lone army has begun. ”
Bao Junhao asked: "Then why do we want to help 517?" ”
Chang Hongzhi shook his head: "We are not helping 517, we are just expanding the contradictions between them." ”
Bao Junhao was silent. Chang Hongzhi stepped forward and said: "The lone army is a tumor of the alien way, and it is also a virus in country T. ”
This is also the reason why Bao Junhao joined the dust, he knows that his strength is too weak, and with his own strength, even if he adds the isolation faction, he is not a lone opponent, so he needs to borrow external forces to completely overthrow the coalition faction in PW, that is, the lone army, only in this way can the purpose of purification be achieved.
And the reason that pushed him to do all this was that his close friends and relatives all died in an inexplicable accident in less than half a year. And all this happened after Bao Junhao was rescued from India by the dust.
He didn't know who did it, maybe an isolationist, maybe a lone army. Why? Probably to lure him out to kill him, after all, he knew too much.
Chang Hongzhi said again: "Let me tell you another secret, many of the high-level leaders of the isolation faction you were originally in were lone people. ”
Bao Junhao was surprised: "Why? ”
Chang Hongzhi explained: "PW's internal contradictions are for outsiders to see, but also for the T royal family, so that the T royal family thinks that PW's power can be balanced, this is the cleverness of the lone army, if you don't do this, the T royal family will weaken the power of PW, which is equivalent to weakening the strength of the lone army, making the royal family think that they are restricted, which is the best way to survive for a long time." ”
Only then did Bao Junhao know that the so-called contradictions between the coalition faction and the isolation faction in the past were just for show, and they were all under the control of a lone army. And this time, Chang Hongzhi sent them to ambush this group of disciples, so that he could confirm with his eyes the true colors of those so-called isolated PW operators.
In other words, the entire PW is actually under the control of a lone army.
Bao Junhao asked, "What do we do next?" ”
Chang Hongzhi turned around and left: "Continue the ambush, your target is a company in Chinatown." ”
Bao Junhao caught up and asked, "Why did you ambush that company in Chinatown?" ”
Chang Hongzhi stopped and said with a smile: "There is a private office of 517 in Chinatown. ”
Bao Junhao understood that the killing of a lone disciple who tried to infiltrate China would make Lone Army think that 517 had done it, and the destruction of 517's private office in Chinatown would make 517 think that it was done by Lone Army.
Although the two sides do not have any evidence, what they want is their mutual suspicion and expansion of contradictions, so as to completely escalate this Cold War.
It's just that Bao Junhao is very puzzled, what is the purpose of the dust? Do you profit from it? So what does this profit represent?

Wangjiashan is not a mountain in the true sense of the word at all, just a hillside. And the hillside is full of cemeteries, the latest of these cemeteries is also from the nineties of the last century, looking at it, it is densely packed with graves, not so much Wangjia Mountain, but Guijia Mountain.
Wei Chiran looked at the graves all over the mountain: "Master, if there are fox demons in this world, then there must be ghosts, right?" ”
He Changqing didn't answer Wei Chiran, but just asked Hou Zhenbang: "Where do you speculate the location of the entrance?" ”
Hou Zhenbang looked at the top of the hillside: "Generally speaking, the entrance should be built in a place that will not be easily destroyed, and the village of Wangjiashan no longer exists, and the only building left is a land temple." ”
He Changqing was puzzled: "Land Temple? How big can a land temple be? ”
Hou Zhenbang explained: "That's why I suspect, I once checked that the land temple in Wangjiashan was built after that epidemic, and I even suspect that the people who entered the village after that epidemic were all disciples of the Iron Cloth Gate, or people they hired to go, and they went there to build an entrance." The land temple was destroyed twice, the first time was during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, the second time was during the Anti-Japanese War, the two times were destroyed and rebuilt on the original site, especially during the Anti-Japanese War, the entire Wangjia Village was bombed into ruins, and later there were still people who funded the reconstruction of the land temple, which is not equivalent to telling us that there is a mystery hidden in the land temple? ”
Wei Chiran asked: "Senior Hou, what was the reason for the destruction during the Jiajing period?" ”
"It's because of the earthquake, one of the deadliest earthquakes in Chinese history." Hou Zhenbang followed behind He Changqing and said, "According to records, more than 800,000 people died at that time. ”
On December 12, the 34th year of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty, that is, on January 23, 1556, there was a major earthquake, which affected more than 130 counties in 11 provinces such as Shaanxi, Shanxi, Henan, Gansu and Hebei, and the death toll was 830,000 with names and surnames, and the number of unknown and missing people was not counted.
The history of the Ming Dynasty once recorded that "it is strange that 830,000 officials, soldiers and civilians were crushed to death", and there is also a record that when the earthquake occurred, a fire broke out in the ground.
Wei Chiran asked, "What does it mean that there is fire in the ground?" ”
He Changqing explained: "It's the light of the earth. ”
Hou Zhenbang continued: "After the earthquake, the land temple was not rebuilt, and Wangjiashan was not rebuilt, until the middle of the Qing Dynasty, a group of people relocated to live here, and the land temple was also rebuilt, but many years later it was destroyed in the Anti-Japanese War, but on the eve of liberation, someone rebuilt the land temple, but after that, Wangjiashan has never lived again." ”
When the three of them walked on the hillside, they could constantly see the remains of houses overgrown with weeds, and even some of the wreckage of the houses had grave bags, perhaps the dead villagers who were buried during the Anti-Japanese War.
The Land Temple is hidden in a pile of ruins, and the reason why it is called Zang is because the Land Temple is too close to the wreckage of other houses. It stands to reason that the land temple should be built at the head of the village, and the area is not too large, but this land temple is dozens of times the size of the ordinary land temple, far exceeding the courtyard of ordinary villagers.
The weeds around the Land Temple are half a person high, and you have to remove the weeds to walk in, and the most terrifying thing is that there are even grave bags in the courtyard of the Land Temple.
Wei Chi Chi turned his flashlight and shone around: "Isn't there anyone cleaning up this place?" ”
Hou Zhenbang said: "If there are no roads around, the urban expansion will not be here, no one will come to clean up, and those developers will not do unprofitable things." ”
He Changqing, the leader, walked to the door of the Land Temple, and as soon as he pushed the door, the door fell to the ground with a loud noise, startling the three of them, and then the three of them found that there was also a tomb in the lobby of the Land Temple.
