It's snowing at the destination, which is bad news. I rushed back to find He Lu to tell him about the situation, and as soon as I walked to the door of the hotel, I saw four or five off-road vehicles parked.

On the second floor, the doors of He Lu's room were open, and there were many people standing in the dark. These people are all dressed in uniform outdoor gear, and most of them have rough skin, dark and gray. Although there were many of them, they did not talk to each other. He Lu had the least number of people in the four rooms, and I walked over and saw him sitting at the table, as if he was signing some documents. Behind him stood a young woman, one by one collecting the papers he had signed and handing them to the three men a little further away.

Seeing me, He Lu stood up and made an introduction.

Each of these three men brought a team, the ones in the next room. One of the taller ones, codenamed Old Harrier, is responsible for pathfinding; There is also a squinted-eyed fat man who calls himself Brother Xiao Lie, and his team is responsible for logistics and security; The last man was dressed in red and looked cool, a bit like Vin Diesel in "Fast and Furious", surnamed Kim, and He Lu called him Liangxiao.

What I didn't expect was that the girl in the room was actually a wanderer.

She shook hands with me very warmly: "Hello, he has heard of Brother Zhangzi for a long time, and he finally met him today." ”

I should come down and follow her gaze to He Lu.

He Lu introduced: "Yutong, she will go for me this time, mainly to cooperate with you." ”

Yutong is very sweet, and she looks joyful when she smiles, and she feels like a little girl next door. After a few brief greetings, Yutong began to carry out specific work assignments and some basic checks.

My mission has already been decided, and I will be fine with a small bag of equipment. He Lu let out his hand and let Yutong do these trivial affairs, just watching from the sidelines, occasionally reminding him of a sentence or two. I told him about the snow on Mt. Baektu, and he listened to it for a moment and said nothing to the contrary.

Departing at eight o'clock in the evening, except for He Lu and others who stayed in the hotel, 30 of us drove six cars and walked all the way to the mountains.

I'm in the same car as Yutong, and the driver is a good night. He insisted on being cool all the way to the end, but Yutong was chirping, so this guy always tried his best to control his facial muscles.

There were also two guys in the car, and Junmo and I sat in the back row. At that time, I was going to tell He Lu that I had brought a helper, but when I turned around, Jun Mo was already sitting in the car. He Lu's phone calls kept coming, so I had to acquiesce to his consent.

The mountain road is pitch black, and occasionally encounters a little yellow light, and the good night will always slow down.

"What's that?"

Yutong turned his head and said, "It's a mountain beaver, a kind of cat." Because I have seen a lot of tourists, I am not very afraid of people. When we get to our destination, if you can still see this light, be careful. ”

"Why?"

She looked at the good night, meaning he said.

"The mountain temple is lit up, and the impermanence is intertwined."

The two guys saw that I still didn't understand, and explained it to me.

Legend has it that all mountain gods, land, and city gods have certain tasks to restrain ghosts. But there are so many impermanences in the Yin Division, and when they are too busy, these priests will find some people from the people to replace them. Usually, everything is normal.,When a mission is assigned, I'll take the chain to hook the soul of the dying person.,It's a part-time job.。

If the soul is not handed over to the designated priest, this person will still have a chance to return to the yang, and it is not considered a complete death, so they will still have a star of life. Walking Impermanence carries a paper lantern in his hand, and the fire of the soul burns in it. After the handover of impermanence and the priest is completed, the soul enters the Yin Si process, and the fire of life is completely extinguished.

When we get off the bus, we will walk past a mountain temple with seated statues of the Five Emperors, and a major accident has occurred nearby in recent days. There are many victims, and if you are impermanent, you will definitely come to this temple with a lamp.

"The best thing to do in case of a run is to pretend not to see, not to speak or look directly, and to stand still and wait for him to go away. They have assigned tasks, and they can go home when they are done. As long as you don't interfere with him, they don't care even if it's a lonely ghost, and they won't embarrass the living. ”

Yutong naughtily stretched out her hand and patted me: "You will definitely be able to find it if you have yin and yang eyes, and you will have to remind us when the time comes." ”

This kind of strange and chaotic talk is less eerie and more mysterious and interesting than what the guy said.

In fact, the theory of impermanence has been around for a long time, and it can be regarded as an existence that wanders in the gap between the two worlds of yin and yang. These people can be men and women, young and old, but they all have one thing in common: vigorous yang energy and strong temperament. Don't underestimate people's will, some people have a clear fate, but they just don't want to die in their hearts. The body stiffened, and a breath of yang energy did not disperse, making it impossible for the impermanence of the Yin Division to get close.

As soon as the task of impermanence arrives, the soul is immediately out of the body, whether it is at work or playing mahjong, and the breath falls to the ground every minute. Some people will secretly inform their family members of their identity, and when the attack occurs, the family members will know in their hearts and carry them back properly, as fast as a few hours, or as slow as a few days. If no one knows, and they come back from a business trip to find that their flesh has been cremated and turned into a handful of bone slag, then it is called a depression.

Speaking of which, isn't Tie Guan Li in the Eight Immortals also a young man in Yushu Linfeng? The soul wandering to the heavenly realm was delayed for too long, and when he came back, his body was already rotting, and there was no way to live in the body of a lame beggar. But the other people's mistakes are their own mistakes, and they can't complain about it. It's not the same if you go impermanent, whoever Yin Si chooses is whoever you want, you have to go if you want to or not. Hurry up to complete the work and return to the yang, for them is the most serious thing in the world.

They waited near the dying with chains, and waited for the hour to come. Some people are short-tempered, and people are still talking about the future, and when they go up, they will pull the living soul out of their bodies. It's just a temporary worker of Yin Si, who is dying and has a bad quality, he can only consider himself unlucky.

If they fail to meet their deadlines or fail to complete their tasks, they will be punished severely. That's unimaginable as a normal human being.

This sentence came from the mouth of Liangxiao.

Yutong slapped his face and made a conclusion: "The kung fu of walking impermanence is more ruthless than a ghost, if he really collides with him and can spend a whole night with you, our trip will be in vain." ”

While we were discussing, Junmo clutched my sleeve tightly and buried his head in my shoulder. I thought he was scared, and he turned his face to his forehead and got a little hot.

"Is it uncomfortable?"

He shook his head and said to sleep for a while and let me not disturb him.

I pulled the hem of his shirt over and covered his legs, and when I touched it again, my face was as cold as my hands. But I'm also surprised that when he was in Jiangwan, he showed his might and was vigorous, and this trip came out like a kitten, and he fell asleep at every turn.

It seems that Miss Sheng's recapture array has had a great impact on him.

We were at the back of the line, and when we got to no road, we reached a mountain pass.

Liangxiao summoned Lao Harrier and Brother Xiao Lie, plus me, and Yutong to announce the core task this time.

Wind Sound Wood!

It is a woody plant that grows on a single plant and bears red fruits.

Not to mention the usefulness and value of this kind of thing itself, just to get it, you must meet two conditions at the same time: under the rule of the Five Emperors, the stars of the year and the sun.

The first article refers to the geographical location, which refers to the existence of Fengshengmu in the vicinity of the temple and temple dedicated to the Five Emperors. The second is the time requirement, the year star is Jupiter, and the opposition means that Jupiter is in a straight line of 180 degrees with the Earth and the Sun. Jupiter rises just after the sun sets, a phenomenon that occurs every other year or so, just tonight.

Lao Harrier took a dozen people to take the lead in setting off to explore the vicinity of the mountain temple, his main task was to determine the location of the mountain temple, and after finding it, he and Xiao Liege's men and horses would join together to defend it.

I'm a little confused, in my concept, the mountain temple has the statues of the five emperors, shouldn't it be very conspicuous? You can find it during the day, and you don't need to dispatch more than 20 people, right?

Brother Xiao Lie smiled: "Young man, do you know what a mountain god is?" ”

"It's ......" I searched my stomach and thought about it for a long time, but to no avail, so I had to shake my head honestly: "I don't know." ”

He looked me up and down with his stomach in his arms, and suddenly he laughed, and turned around and walked away. It looked like I was knowingly asking and pretending to be stupid.

Jun Mo whispered in my ear, "Turn into a snake." ”

I was stunned for a moment, but seemed to understand. The accident in Jiangwan was originally said to be the anger of the Jianglong King, but in fact, it was a snake. Calling it the Dragon King is a rhetoric that stems from the fear of unknown powers. Then the mountain gods here are not gods in the true sense of the word, but spirits who have been psychic for a long time.

What is it?

Liangxiao was silent, and Yutong shook his head, indicating that he couldn't say it. But with his hands hooked in front of his chest, he hunched his back and jumped.

Bag...... Rat?

So the target of the old harrier and the people to search is a cave in the ground? No wonder you have to bring so many people, the holes made by the mountain rats are not easy to find during the day, let alone at night.

"You have to be mentally prepared." Liangxiao said: "There will be a lot. ”

"Yes, I'll take you to identify them one by one." Yutong smiled, stepped forward and patted my hand and said, "After I really find it, my task will be completed, it's up to you." ”
