Chapter 43 Responsibility

Cao Daoping's footprints in Zhijiang were hardly different from those they tracked, and he had been researching similar events to Heihezi, so after stumbling upon something similar, he found the place of Nanxi Town.

As a forerunner, of course, he couldn't have a clear purpose like Sun Yang and them, and after inquiring around Nanxi Town for several days, he thought that he was infinitely close to his goal.

It is also a monster that resembles a giant bug, the same mountainous area that is remote and far away from the bustling world, the same ethnic minority settlement where witchcraft was once prevalent, and the same large number of unexplained disappearances and casualties, which are even more serious and widespread than Heihezi.

Cao Daoping thought that he was infinitely close to the answer, so after determining the center of a series of incidents, he chartered a tractor and pulled his things to Jiaoxi Village.

Then he got to know Baron.

The relationship between the two was quite good at first.

Cao Daoping regarded him as a guardian like Zhang Laogen, while Ba Long believed that he was a mage from the Han Dynasty.

Ba Long is a very prestigious mage in Jiaoxi and the villages near Jiaoxi, while Cao Daoping has been in and out of the powerful family for many years, and in some ways, the two of them are actually very similar.

But as Cao Daoping's investigation deepened, the differences between the two began to become prominent.

Mountain ghosts, pythons, ordinary people's natural fear and helplessness of these things is the root of Barong's power, he used the fear of the villagers and his ability to communicate with those creatures to gain high power, and even became the soil emperor of this area in disguise, which Cao Daoping could not accept.

In the final analysis, the two have completely different backgrounds and upbringing.

Ba Longzu had been a mage in the Jiaoxi area for generations, and in his early years, he had personally experienced the social structure of the Sanmiao tribe dominated by mages and Tusi, and he had always tried to restore what seemed to him to be an infinitely better era. His ancestors and fathers had died in the fierce anti-feudal superstition campaign, and a large part of the land around Jiaoxi had belonged to their noble mage family, but now it had been dispossessed, dispersed and distributed to the former untouchables, which filled him with hatred for the current government.

But Cao Daoping was just a monk who embarked on this path after the anti-feudal superstition movement because of his obsession with Taoism. He had never experienced a time when monks had a high status and occupied a lot of social wealth, and had a great influence on local politics. In his opinion, monks should slay demons and eliminate demons to solve disasters for people, and it is right to make a little money, but they should not pursue more and more complicated things.

The two soon had a conflict.

Ba Long began to create obstacles to Cao Daoping's tracking, and even tried to get the mountain ghost to kill Cao Daoping, who went deep into the forest to investigate the movement of the python, but the giant mountain ghost chose to forbear after his descendants were defeated by Cao Daoping's Taoism.

This made Baron unhappy.

At this time, in the process of tracing the trajectory of the pythons, Cao Daoping began to have an idea that they should have a huge nest at the foot of Nanxi Mountain, and those areas where they often haunt should have entrances and exits.

He tried to find the place.

This inference is actually infinitely close to the truth, he just didn't expect that Barong has always been haunted by his family's loss of control over that place and the python, and has always regarded that place as his own forbidden place.

He had always dreamed of one day being able to regain control of the temple as his ancestors had done, so that both the toads and the mountain ghosts would obey his orders.

He even began to suspect that Cao Daoping's purpose was not to conduct any investigation at all, but to gain control of the temple, steal the precious belongings inside, and even, like him, to control the pythons and mountain ghosts.

He finally set a trap to lure Cao Daoping into the cave without adequate preparation.

"I found a statue of that thing inside." Cao Daoping said. "That's probably the only thing I've learned from this adventure."

"What?"

"That dog-headed, six-winged and six-legged monster." Cao Daoping said. "If we really let go of something in Heihezi, it's probably it!"

"What is it?" Sun Yang's heart tugged suddenly.

"Chaos." Cao Daoping replied. "One of the four legendary murderers."

"Thank you so much for this incident." Cao Fang sent them to the gate of the hospital and said to them.

Sun Yang shook his head: "This is what we should do, this is not a kind word, it is a true word." ”

Cao Fang sighed: "But I'm really scared, you should be able to understand, right?" I really don't want to go through something like this a second time. She said firmly. When he's better, I'm not going to give him any more access to these things, so please ......."

"I understand." Sun Yang nodded. "Don't worry, we won't let him go any further."

"Thank you! Thank you! Cao Fang's expression finally looked better.

The two took a taxi to the airport, and the time was still early, so the two could only be in a daze in the waiting hall.

Sun Yang's face was serious, and Lu Xiaoling looked at him, and suddenly became unhappy.

"Why are you crying with a sad face? What's wrong? ”

Sun Yang shook his head violently: "It's nothing, it's nothing!" ”

Chaos, what the hell is this?

After Sun Yang came out of the hospital, he checked its information on the Internet, and his introduction to it was not as detailed as Tao Tao, Qi Qi and Han Qi, and it was even a little incomprehensible.

"There are beasts in Kunlun West, their shape is like a dog, long hair, four-legged, like a stumble without claws, there are eyes but not seen, there are two ears but not heard, some people are intellectual, there are abdomen without five treasures, there are intestines straight but not spinning, and the food path is over. People are virtuous and contradict them, and if they are virtuous, they rely on them. ”

I can't see anything.

But it can be ranked among the "four evils", even if it is only ranked last, it will definitely not be a simple thing.

"There's something I have to tell you." Cao Daoping's face seemed to appear in front of him again. "The Qi in my body has completely dissipated, I don't know if this is temporary or permanent, but this time my body has survived such a serious condition, this may be the price I have to pay. I want to ask you, if I really lose the ability of the monk, are you willing to continue to pursue this matter? ”

Sun Yang didn't have the slightest psychological preparation, and was stunned for a moment.

"You don't have to answer right away." Cao Daoping said. "This matter may be very dangerous, it may lead you to something like me, or even lose your life, so I will not force you to make any decisions. But we are both parties to this matter, and if my guess is unfortunately true, I feel that we have a responsibility to make up for this mistake for Lu Lou, even if it is at the cost of our lives. ”

A mechanical and flat female voice rang out: "Ladies and gentlemen, the ...... flying from Linjiang to the distant mountains"

"Sun Yang? What are you in a daze? It's time to board! Lu Xiaoling shouted from the side.

Sun Yang stood up blankly with his backpack and suitcase.

"What's wrong with you?" Lu Xiaoling asked.

"Nothing." Sun Yang shook his head heavily.
