Chapter 12 Nine Songs of the Yellow River Stone Forest
This swarthy coarse porcelain jar is very particular, called the Sealing Spirit Jar, which can prevent cultivators from using Qi field detection, so that those who have drawn lots in advance will not be able to pick and choose among these tasks and find one they like.
As for the order of drawing lots, it is according to the time of registration, and in this way, I am the last.
Everyone took out a wax pill from the sealing jar, and after crushing it, there was a note inside, writing the location and requirements of the task here, as well as a detailed description, and the leader on the stage was chattering endlessly: "These tasks are divided into four kinds of difficulty: A, B, C and D, among which A is the highest, C is the lowest, of course, you don't think that everything will be safe if you draw the C difficulty, we will send a special observer to examine your means and ability to deal with the task, comprehensive scoring, The winner will be selected from among them......"
Although he said this, the selectors who had drawn the difficult tasks of level C and D couldn't help but cheer when they saw the note in their hands.
You know, although the higher the difficulty, the higher the score, but there is another point, that is, even if the score is full, but you can't complete the task, I'm afraid that the above will not admit it, and those with a slightly lower difficulty can be completed completely.
The people in front of me were either happy or silent, and I was the last to take out the wax pill from the sealing jar, and after pinching it, a note leaked out, and I looked down at it, and the largest font on it read: "The Yellow River Stone Forest is suspicious of the sinkhole, and digging the ground is restless." โ
What does this mean?
I lowered my head to check, it turned out to be a natural stone forest in the southeast of Jingtai County, Baiyin City, Gansu Province, where the steep cliff is in the air, the peak turns around, the scenery changes step by step, countless stone pillars and stalagmites of one or two hundred meters are highlighted in the meantime, heaven and earth are set, the devil is wonderful, the inner canyon is meandering, such as the snake is extinguished, it is difficult for people to enter it, the Yellow River passes by, there have been several cases of nocturnal creatures raiding the villagers recently, the local encirclement and suppression have been repeated several times, all failed, according to a surviving person, said that the attack on them is a kind of crawling monster covered with black scale armor, Specially pulled people into the water, it is difficult to break free.
The local area has received a report and started to investigate the matter, but those things seem to be able to avoid the usual investigative methods, when you look for it, there is no trace, and when you don't look for it, it appears everywhere and hurts people, causing the local people a headache, so they report it.
I took a quick look at the specifics, then immediately looked at the difficulty rating of the task, and at the end, I saw it: Class A.
Yes, it was really not a good thing to stay at the end, it was actually a first-class difficult task.
But when it comes to Cheng dรน like me, I have long ceased to be happy about the difficulty of the task, and I also pressed the feelings in my heart at the moment, and then calmly buckled the wax pill in the palm of my hand, and didn't say much, when we all finished drawing lots, the leader on the stage began to announce the end, but the interesting thing is that he did not announce what the specific task of each person was, but after a simple count, and then said the difficulty of each person's task.
Ten tasks, a total of two first-class, three B-class, three C-class and two D-class, this first-class, I have one, the other is Zhao Chengfeng of Longhu Mountain, and Wang Peng received a C-class, as for the others, they are different.
In the field, some people were either happy or frustrated about the difficulty of their tasks, but as the first-class winner with the highest difficulty this time, whether it was me or Zhao Chengfeng, they all showed a certain amount of indifference.
This kind of indifference is a calm attitude, a kind of self-sacrificing momentum.
Zhao Chengfeng looked at me, I also looked at Zhao Chengfeng, our competition was stopped because of the sudden war situation, but I didn't expect that many years later, we actually came to such a-for-tat stage.
Heroes cherish heroes, and their eyes stay for a long time before they converge.
After the draw of lots, the General Administration assigned observers to each temporary working group, and the one assigned to us was a middle-aged man in his forties with flat black-rimmed glasses, named Hong Dou, with a restrained expression and a plain look, but there were a lot of sharp edges between the eyebrows, and his cultivation must not be bad.
After that, we immediately set out for our destination, but I had to make a request to the observer Lao Hong, that is, to take my little sister with me.
This matter is actually quite ignorant, but I don't take it with me these days, leaving her alone in the room of the courtyard, when I go back, the neighbor's aunt who I asked to help take care of it always tells me that the child cries all day long, washes his face with tears, and is pitiful, like a puppy, and refuses to eat, only when I am there, will it be better.
Hum is so unhappy, obviously afraid that I will ignore her again, but this mission, a trip is less than ten days and half a month, more than a few months, where can I leave this child?
If I really didn't come back for so long, with my skills, I would naturally run away, but if she really got lost and lived on the streets or in the mountains and forests as before, my heart would hurt so much that I couldn't rest assured.
No way, I only took her with me, this time I came to catch lots, and I also put her at the door of the General Administration to wait, this time out, I talked to Lao Honghao, because I am the senior brother of Maoshan, and the mysterious Wang Bureau has seen me and said hello before, so he is not too insistent, but he still said a little to me: "This child, you can also take it, but you are responsible for your own safety, this is one of them; The second point is that I am an observer, and I will record it truthfully, and if there is anything incomplete in the report at that time, please forgive me. โ
I said this ugly thing first, and I was afraid that I would have an idea in my heart, but Lao Hong was able to promise me to bring it, which was enough to surprise people, where could I expect him to help me cover up, so I nodded happily and thanked me repeatedly.
From Kyoto to Gansu, the road is far away, wait for the train to shake slowly, the daylily is cold, but the General Administration is the General Administration, Xun contacted a military plane to the northwest, and then vacated a few cabins, we went straight to Nanyuan Airport, and waited for a long time, then took a transport plane, roared up, between the blue sky and white clouds, and flew to the northwest.
This is my first time on a plane, although the comfort of this military transport plane is far less than that of civil aviation, but at that time it was also quite exciting, but I was hindered by my own status and face, pretending to be calm and indifferent, and Zhang Daming and Xu calmly did not hide it, especially Zhang Daqing, shouting and making a lot of noise.
As for the boy, as soon as I ascended to the sky, I became extremely sleepy, lying on my knees, and fell asleep in a short time.
The plane stopped at a military airfield in the northwest, and a car from the local military region pulled me, Xu Danding, Zhang Daming, and observer Lao Hong, all the way to the vicinity of the destination, and connected with the local religious affairs bureau before leaving.
If the Central Temporary Working Group wants to carry out its work on the ground, it must obtain the support of the local authorities, otherwise all the qiฤ will be like an attic in the sky, which cannot be implemented, and I did not expect the local religious affairs bureau to cooperate much, as long as we fully respect our autonomy, it is basically enough, but when I met the person in charge here, my eyes were almost round.
God, this person turned out to be my "eldest brother", the boss of the Jurong Xiao family, Xiao Yingzhong Xiao Cannon.
There is really such a coincidental thing in the world, although I know that Xiao Dacang has always been in the Northwest Bureau, but I didn't expect that it was he who was transferred to deal with this matter, and the two were really surprised when they met, and then hugged each other tightly.
Since the parting of southern Xinjiang, the two of us have not seen each other for six or seven years.
This is the case of old friends who have been born and died, even if they haven't seen each other for many years, each other's appearance and background have changed a lot, but they can still be as familiar as they can be mixed all day long when they meet.
After that, we parted and talked about some things that happened to each other after so many years of separation.
The trajectory of my life is also simple, on Maoshan Mountain, the morning bell and dusk drums, and Xiao Cannon is much more complicated, he has been reused by his superiors since he returned from the Southern Xinjiang Round War, and he has been continuously meritorious over the years, and the level has been adjusted several levels, originally the leader of the Central Selection Working Group, he wanted to sign up, but because of the special political and geographical relations in the northwest, he was forced to stay here by the Northwest Bureau, but the treatment has also improved a lot, and he can also be independently responsible for many difficult events.
Although we haven't seen each other for many years, Xiao Dacang has a lot of things to do with me, and he told me that when her little sister wrote home and told about trivial things, she would mention the senior brother when she was fine, and she would say me here and me there, so that he knew everything about me.
I listened, my heart was sweet, and I talked about his marriage and childbirth, as soon as this rough man talked about the pregnant Sister Dai Qiao, his face immediately showed a lot of tenderness, but he was shy, and he didn't want to talk to me in detail.
After greeting for a long time, I remembered the matter and asked Xiao Dacang about the situation at this time, how was the preliminary investigation?
Xiao Dacang told me, saying that he had just arrived a few days ago, and he launched an investigation as soon as he came, and he also asked many old people in nearby villages to inquire, and the matter was probably not as simple as he imagined, according to the information he now had, in this tactful and tortuous strange stone forest, there are not only those reptiles that travel at night and choose people to eat, but also a huge underground cave, and it is also inseparable from a Mongolian treasure unsolved case back then.
