Chapter 37: The Fluctuations of the Circle
Qamdo Bangda Airport.
Yan Yunkai carried a suitcase, put on gold-rimmed flat glasses with one hand, and then put one hand in the pocket of his windbreaker, with long legs and a step, walking with the wind.
"When are we going to Tibet?" Chu Yangming followed behind Yan Yunkai, dragging a suitcase in his hand and an oversized travel bag on his shoulder, like a little brother with a bag.
Qamdo is located in eastern Tibet, at the throat of the border between Tibet and Sichuan, and the reason why Yan Yunkai came here was to find the members of the four groups in the nine places.
The four groups are in charge of the western region, and the western region is extremely extensive, so they have set up bases in various places so that they can go out in time when there are cases. Qamdo has a special location, connecting Sichuan, Qinghai and Yunnan provinces, and adjacent to Nagqu City in northern Tibet to the north, so Yan Yunkai came here at the suggestion of Gesang Langjie.
Chu Yangming followed Yan Yunkai and asked again, "Who are you looking for?" ”
Yan Yunkai said: "A colleague. As he spoke, he suddenly thought of something and smiled, "In terms of cultivation, you may be able to ask him some questions." ”
"He's also a half-demon?" Chu Yangming was surprised.
"No, he's a bird too."
Yan Yunkai walked to the exit, Gesang Langjie squatted by a pillar, he hadn't seen him for a few months, he was still so dark, and when he laughed, he showed a mouthful of big white teeth, stupid and silly.
Chu Yangming said: "Is this this buddy?" Why is it so dark? What kind of bird, crow? ”
"I'm an eagle. The black is because it is in Tibet all year round, and the altitude here is high, so it receives too much ultraviolet rays. Gesang Langjie stood up, patted his pants, and replied to Chu Yangming seriously, without being offended.
Chu Yangming was a little embarrassed, and shook his hand: "I'm open-mouthed, don't you mind." ”
Gesang Langjie grinned, didn't pay attention to it, turned his head to Yan Yunkai and said, "Where is the sixth team leader going to go when he comes to northern Tibet this time?" Our team leader is still in Lhasa, and he asked me to tell you that if you need his help, he can sneak away from the monastery and come to you. ”
The leader of the fourth group, Dawa Tondrup, is a figure in Tibet, and as a reincarnated Venerable, coupled with the inextricable connection with the capital, his every move is under the attention of all forces.
Yan Yunkai smiled slightly and said, "Let him stay in the temple honestly." I came here to go to the Qiangtang no-man's land to find a bone I had lost. ”
In Beijing before, Xie Zhisuan's hexagram said that his bones were on the "edge of the human world", Yan Yunkai thought about it, northern Tibet, the edge of the human world, these two keywords together, isn't it the Qiangtang no man's land.
It's not that Qiangtang is the end of the world, but because in this no-man's land, one of the entrances to the Hell Road falls here. This entrance was sealed by a heavy magic circle, and the four groups sent people to guard it, so as to prevent the ghosts of the Hell Path from coming to the human world.
Gesang Langjie was embarrassed: "The range is too large, the area of the Qiangtang uninhabited area is nearly 300,000 square kilometers, and the terrain is very complicated, if it is just a bone, I am afraid it is difficult to find." ”
"What if you narrow it down to near the entrance to the Hell Passage?" Yan Yun asked.
Gesang Langjie was shocked: "That area is a forbidden place!" No permission can not be approached! ”
In fact, the entrance to the Hell Road does not really refer to a fixed entrance, but a space in the no-man's land, this space is very thin, and it is torn from time to time, and the torn place is the entrance and exit of the human world and the Hell Road, and the place where it is torn is different every time. Nine successive generations of comrades have patched up and patched up, and over the years, that area has been filled with magic circles.
Yan Yunkai said calmly: "I have received the approval of the capital. ”
Chu Yangming looked confused, looked at Gesang Langjie, and then looked at Yan Yunkai, and asked, "Kaikai, you won't go into danger, right?" ”
"I'm just looking for something, not going to cause trouble." Yan Yunkai said, "You are not allowed to tell my family. ”
Gesang Langjie had no choice but to say, "Okay, Team Leader Six, you should have told me earlier, so that I can prepare well." ”
Yan Yunkai showed an apologetic smile and nodded slightly: "I'm sorry." Could you please help me arrange this. ”
Kelsang Langjie said: "If you want to go, I have to report to the team leader. ”
Yan Yunkai was able to understand his difficulties and replied: "I learned that I would meet him." ”
Kelsang Langjie moved quickly, and after deciding that he was going to no man's land, he prepared the equipment to be used on the road and mapped out the route. His plan was to enter Qiangtang from Nima County in Nagqu City, because Yan Yunkai didn't plan to let Chu Yangming go on an adventure together, and there were many scenic spots near Nima County, which was enough for Chu Yangming to play for several days.
In February, Tibet was particularly cold, covered with heavy snow, and the surroundings were white.
Yan Yunkai was napping in the back seat of the car, Gesang Langjie was driving in front, and in the passenger seat, Chu Yangming chatted with him without a ride.
At about five o'clock in the evening, they arrived at Wenbu Township in Nima County, where Gesang Langjie found a family hotel and exchanged a few words with the owner of the house in Tibetan.
Chu Yangming hummed and saluted, the climate here was cold, but a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead. Since he was able to change the form of controlling people and birds at will, Chu Yangming's physical strength has improved a lot, and his physical fitness has also become much stronger, thinking about the demon clan getting closer.
Yan Yunkai carried a suitcase, his nose was red from the cold, even if he carried a lot of warm things when he set off from Beijing, he was still a little unbearable at this time.
This hotel is a homestay, although it is a little old, but it is very clean and decorated with Tibetan style. Entering through the main door, the living room is also used as a front desk, and one wall is placed with cabinets on which are small foods such as instant noodles and drinks clearly priced, and a few lines of Tibetan characters and strange totems are painted on the wall next to the staircase.
Yan Yunkai took the lead upstairs, and glanced at the wall as he passed by, Chu Yangming followed closely, but curiously kept looking back at the totem on the wall.
"It's a bird, isn't it?" Chu Yangming struggled to identify, "What kind of thing is this, stick figure or abstract painting?" It's ugly. ”
Kelsang Langjie walked at the end and explained: "This is the totem of the ancient Xiangxiong Kingdom, the Dapeng bird, and the ancient totem will certainly not be a realistic painting. Zhangzhung means 'land of the Great Roc', and the Zhangzhung civilization has a very deep influence in the local area, so I advise you not to talk nonsense. ”
Chu Yangming hurriedly agreed: "Okay." ”
Kelsang Langjie said sincerely: "Listen to the leader of Yan Liu, your prototype is also a bird, why should the bird be embarrassed by the bird? Many civilizations have Dapeng in their myths and legends, so it shouldn't be ugly. ”
"Hmm." Chu Yangming responded honestly, "Dapeng Bird is super handsome!" ”
Gesang Langjie smiled: "Speaking of which, what kind of bird are you?" ”
Chu Yangming pretended to smile lightly: "Dapeng Bird." ”
Kelsang Langjie: "......"
Gesang Langjie had a "don't tease me" expression on his face, Chu Yangming pretended to be deep, and Yan Yunkai had no choice but to prove it: "He is indeed a Dapeng bird, but he only has half of his bloodline." ”
The three of them only booked a room, the room was not small, the bed was large, a bit like a kang. When he was out of the house, Yan Yunkai couldn't care too much, so he found the bathroom and washed his face with hot water, and then he felt a little more refreshed.
Running all the way, Yan Yunkai was a little tired, they simply had dinner and went to bed early.
In the middle of the night, the sound of whimpering came out of nowhere, a bit like the sound of the wind.
Yan Yunkai slept on the left side, his closed eyes moved, but he didn't open them. Chu Yangming in the middle was sleeping deeply, and this little movement couldn't wake him up at all, but Gesang Langjie on the right opened his eyes suddenly, and his pupils condensed in the night, showing the sharpness of birds.
"It's a ghost crying, isn't it?" Yan Yunkai asked in a low voice, his voice was still sleepy, lazy, and sounded nasal, a little soft.
Kelsang Langjie sat up and said, "It sounds like a lot of ghosts, they came from far away. ”
"Are there any graveyards or mass graves around here?" Yan Yunkai opened his eyes and narrowed his eyes.
Kelsang Langjie opened the window, jumped nimbly on the window frame, and said, "I'll take a look." As he spoke, he closed the window, turned into an eagle, and spread his wings into the night sky.
At the same time, in Tibet, in a famous temple in Lhasa.
Dawa Dunzhu opened his eyes, and there was a slight doubt in his eyes. He put down the beads in his hand, walked barefoot to the window, pushed open the window, and looked into the night. The wind carried the snow into the room, but he didn't feel cold, just looked north, and his heart jumped suddenly.
Beijing, Unit Building.
Tonight, the six groups were Bai Sheng and Wang Ju on duty, although it was late at night, the two were still sitting side by side in front of the computer watching TV series. On a wall in front of the two men, there were several displays, all of which were different, but it was clear that they were monitoring changes in some area.
After watching an episode of the TV series, Bai Sheng raised his head, rubbed his stiff neck, and glanced at the wall by the way, and was suddenly stunned.
He patted Wang Ju and said solemnly: "At the spatial junction of the Qiangtang no man's land, the spiritual power of the magic circle fluctuates significantly, and it has exceeded the normal value. ”
Wang Ju raised his head, glanced at the display screen, jumped up suddenly, and quickly ran out: "Teacher Bai continues to star, I'll go and inform Liu Zhenyan!" ”
The child ran all the way upstairs and shouted: "Liu Zhenyan Liu Zhenyan Liu Zhenyan, are you not in the office?" ”
Liu Zhenyan opened the door, held a cigarette, and wondered, "What's wrong?" ”
"Qiangtang! The value of the circle is fluctuating! Wang Ju said nervously, "My God, Yan Yunkai is still planning to go, it will be fine, right?" ”
Liu Zhenyan closed the door, walked downstairs quickly, and said to Wang Ju: "Gather all the members of your six groups, analyze the changes in the circle in the past six months, contact the four groups of Dawa Dunzhu, and hold a video conference." ”
Wang Qi followed him with his short legs, and immediately took out his mobile phone to call the team members.
"Call Yan Yunkai first." Liu Zhenyan suddenly said, "You can't enter the no-man's land without my clear instructions, it's too dangerous." ”
