Chapter 380: The Phantom of the Ancient Tower

On early summer nights, the climate in the mountains is cool. In addition to the sound of frogs, there are many unknown insect chirps, glowing fireflies flying from time to time, under the bright moonlight, the breeze gusts, and the shadows of the trees.

Lively and quiet, beautiful and eerie, in the middle of the night on the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar, a strange harmony is built in this mountainous area.

Li Bing and his entourage of five, under the special instructions of Song Rui'an, the captain of the criminal police team, accompanied by the criminal policeman Xiao Zhang, entered the White Tiger Temple, which had been sealed.

Several people walked through the Daxiong Treasure Hall and came to the ancient tower of the apse of the White Tiger Temple.

The hole on the edge of the ancient pagoda that was dug by the fake monk instructed by Jin Bomiao has been sealed with steel bars, and a seal has been pasted on it.

However, everyone no longer cared about the underground palace, and their attention was all focused on the ancient tower of the White Tiger Temple.

The moonlight is like mercury pouring on the ground, although it illuminates the White Tiger Temple, but it also adds to the mysterious atmosphere.

Zhao Wan'er asked a little nervously, "Brother Zhang, why is there no movement yet?" ”

Zhang Yuanshan "shh At the top of the pagoda, the white tiger appears! What does this mean? Something unusual is going to happen tonight, and if there really is a white tiger apparition, then we must not speak loudly lest we offend the gods! ”

He looked at the luminous watch and said, "It's not time yet, let's wait patiently!" In ancient times, an hour was divided into eight quarters, that is, the current fifteen minutes are one quarter, so three quarters is three quarters in the morning. Let's all go to the shadows behind the hall and wait for this moment to come. ”

As he said, everyone retreated to the corridor behind the Daxiong Treasure Hall, and all of them were silent, not even smoking a cigarette, and waited anxiously for the arrival of the third quarter of the year.

At the same time, on a half-mountainside not far away, there was also a black shadow, sneakily lurking behind a mountain rock, holding a night vision telescope, observing the movement in the White Tiger Temple.

The full moon gradually set in the west, and although the waiting in the middle of the night made everyone feel heartburned, they did not dare to slack off in the slightest, and all of them looked at the ancient tower nervously.

Suddenly, the mournful cry of a baby made everyone feel creepy.

Zhang Yuanshan looked at the luminous watch and said in a low voice: "Here, everyone pay attention!" ”

Listening to this poignant voice, Zhao Wan'er hugged Li Bing's waist in fear, revealing only one eye, looking nervously at the ancient tower that looked strange under the moonlight behind Li Bing.

The sound of a baby's cry, screaming from time to time, was heard clearly by everyone, and the sound came from far and near, and at this moment, it seemed to come from the ancient tower.

A white shadow jumped onto the top of the pagoda, and the cry obviously came from this white shadow.

Li Bing obviously felt that Zhao Wan'er was trembling because of fear, and he was about to whisper words of comfort, but he felt a delicate and tender hand gently holding him.

Li Bing was stunned, he knew in his heart that it was Shi Liya's hand, and it was obvious that she was also very scared. Li Bing didn't make a sound anymore, just spread out his palms, held Shi Liya's hand tightly, and tried his best to calm Shi Liya's panicked heart with the strength and body temperature of his hands.

On the top of the pagoda, the white shadow turned around a few times, faced with the full moon, and began to scream again.

At this time, everyone felt even more frightened, and under the reflection of the moonlight, the white shadow revealed two faint green lights.

Zhang Yuanshan quietly took out the peachwood sword, smeared a layer of cinnabar on the peachwood sword, and then pierced three pieces of rune paper at the end of the sword, making all preparations.

No one expected that at this time, a bright light suddenly pierced the moonlight and shone directly on the top of the ancient tower.

It was the criminal policeman Xiao Zhang who was in a hurry and turned on the police flashlight. Under the strong flashlight, everyone's hanging hearts began to relax a little.

It turned out that the peak of the ancient tower emitted a terrifying and terrible scream, revealing two green lights, and it turned out to be a big cat with a snow-white body.

The big white cat seemed to be startled by the sudden flashlight, and suddenly disappeared.

"At the top of the pagoda, the white tiger manifests!" , Zhang Yuanshan shouted: "Quick, let's go to the pagoda." That white cat should be the white tiger in the proverb! ”

Everyone woke up like a dream, except for the criminal policeman Xiao Zhang, who stayed under the tower to guard the surroundings, and the other five people all hurried to climb up the ancient tower.

The five of them quickly climbed the ancient tower, all exhausted and panting.

But to their disappointment, nothing was found in the ancient tower.

This makes everyone puzzled, since on the night of the full moon, the big white cat appeared on the top of the ancient tower at three o'clock, everything is as the proverb says, but why is there nothing unusual?

Could it be that this proverb is just the graffiti of a previous person or a tourist? Li Bing began to wonder if his group had been misled by the proverbs he found on the base of the tower.

The five people on the seventh floor of the ancient tower were silent for a while, each thinking about their own thoughts.

Zhao Wan'er broke the silence, she smiled lightly and said, "Li Bing, don't be discouraged. Not everything has been smooth sailing along the way. If this White Tiger Temple is not the key to the Four Elephants White Tiger Formation we are looking for, then it does not prove that we have failed, on the contrary, I think it is also a success, at least it clears us up a doubt, and allows us to reposition ourselves and think about the secret of the real White Tiger. ”

Li Bing said softly, "Wan'er, thank you." This time we came, it was not in vain. Looking at the beautiful night view of the surrounding mountains, it is a beautiful ancient Chinese landscape painting. The five of us should have come to enjoy the mountains and moonlight once tonight. ”

Zhang Yuanshan laughed and said, "Li Bing, you are reasonable. Come, let's smoke a cigarette and climb up to the top and look into the distance, this scenery is really good. ”

Zhang Yuanshan handed Li Bing and Qian Yiduo cigarettes as he spoke, and at the same time quietly put his peachwood short sword back into his waist and covered it up with his clothes.

Seeing Zhao Wan'er hugging Li Bing like a bird, Shi Liya suddenly felt a sour feeling in her heart, she turned her head with tears in her eyes, and looked away silently.

Just as a few people were whispering on the pagoda, Li Bing noticed Shi Liya, who was silent with his back to them. Others didn't know about it, but Li Bing was clear in his heart, he understood Shi Liya's feelings for him.

Li Bing said softly: "Sister Shi, look at it, how beautiful this moon is, why do you turn your back on the moon?" Come on, let's enjoy the moon together. ”

Shi Liya faced the east of the White Tiger Temple at this time, but she still didn't say a word, which made Li Bing look a little embarrassed.

Zhao Wan'er also said strangely: "Sister Shi, what's wrong with you?" Is it unwell? ”

Shi Liya suddenly whispered: "I understand, this proverb has been fulfilled, the white tiger has appeared, this is not false!" ”

The other four ** were surprised, and they all cheered up for a while, and looked forward along Shi Liya's hand.
