Chapter Ninety-Six: A Bitter Choice
The night is as cool as water, the crescent moon is like a hook, with the sound of an ape crying outside the temple, Zhang Wenjun only feels that his heart is blocked, the army can't count on it, Xiaolan brought one hundred and fifty new team members is also a drop in the bucket, to no avail, is it because of his own reasons, to let these four hundred or so fresh lives die in the mouth of the demon beast, Zhang Wenjun thought about it again and again, and finally stopped hesitating, turned around and said to Xiaolan, got up and walked to the back of the temple.
The captain in charge of guarding the back wall saw the head of the group coming over, and hurriedly trotted over to report: "Commander, there is nothing outside the temple now, these monkey demons can't see that they are preparing to attack the temple, it is estimated that we have beaten them hard several times during the day, and now these monkey demons outside the temple have nothing to worry about except for the terrible scream."
Zhang Wenjun nodded lightly: "It's okay, just guard this wall carefully, you know, all our brothers' surnames are in your hands." After glancing at the captain with a determined face, he got up and jumped onto the rockery in the backyard.
Zhang Wenjun stood on top of this rockery several meters high, blowing a cool autumn breeze, and a bleak chill hit his heart from the outside world. I can't hesitate any longer, I have my surname again, and if I am angry, the lives of so many team members will be buried here in vain. Thinking of this, Zhang Wenjun made up his mind, reached out and carefully took out a Taoist talisman from the pocket of his underwear, yes, it is a Taoist talisman, a wisp of hidden spirit air circulates on it, Zhang Wenjun raised his hand, the innate true qi in his body poured into the talisman, and stimulated the power of this talisman, only to see that this talisman turned into a red light, flying into the sky above the temple, and exploded at a height of seven or eight hundred meters above the temple, turning into a majestic white tiger and a vivid black dragon. In the middle is a huge black and white flesh-colored Tai Chi pattern.
I think my father should be able to see my distress talisman, daddy must have sent a lot of disciples to Tianjing to find my whereabouts, as long as there are disciples under my Longhu Mountain Heavenly Master to see this talisman, as the identity of Daddy Longhu Mountain Heavenly Master, the disciples sent out, if you can't deal with this group of demon monkeys, that's really ridiculous, the brothers in the group are surnamed life, I can't be caught by my father and go home, and honestly continue to live that kind of Taoist cultivation career with a clear breeze and bright moon. Alas, pity this floating world, but it is about to sink in this hellish world. After Zhang Wenjun issued this spiritual rune, he quietly stood on the rockery for a long time, thinking about his own thoughts for a long time.
Xiaolan also stood in front of the window, looking at the moonlight outside, thinking deeply about the fat man. Fat brother, you know what? Since I came to Tianjing, whether it is the eldest brother and sister-in-law, or the father and the second brother, they have all tried their best to persuade me to fulfill the marriage contract and marry the Qian family's eldest and youngest Qian Tuhao as scheduled. I will not marry such a person even if I die. Fat brother, I am besieged here now, I know that the cultivation masters in the army controlled by the Qian family must be on standby at the foot of the mountain now, Xiaolan looked at the walkie-talkie, telephone, satellite phone, and mobile phone in his hand, although it cannot be used, but this short-distance walkie-talkie can still be used.
Xiaolan smiled bitterly, and thought with a sour face, I thought that Qian Qingqing should be my best sister, but when she set off yesterday, the walkie-talkie she stuffed into me still exposed her purpose, it turned out that her appearance, and the purpose of sending the car, still wanted to force me to bow to the Qian family in the end, and promised to marry that Qian Tuhao, fat brother, can I not agree? On the one hand, I swear to your unswerving love, and on the other hand, it is the brothers in the hundreds of regiments who treat me like sisters. Xiaolan thought about it for a long time in pain, two lines of tears slowly flowed from her eyes, and her white slender fingers pressed the green button on the walkie-talkie with a slight force. A strong and powerful voice came out of the walkie-talkie: "Miss Lan, Hong Gang, the leader of the third group of the Tianjing Military Region's Ability Group, leads three hundred ability soldiers to listen to your instructions at any time, please give an order?"
This night is peaceful, because the demon monkeys outside the temple did not take advantage of the night to attack the courtyard wall of the temple, for the members of the mercenary group guarding behind the walls around the temple, this night is extremely unpeaceful, because the howl of the monkey demon outside the temple, one is more poignant than one time, one is more than a seeping person, finally, when the sky is about to dawn, the monkey demon outside the temple is completely quiet, not to mention howling, even some movement is not carried by the team members behind the wall, the team members behind the wall even wonder if the monkey demon outside has given up here, Evacuated somewhere else.
More than a dozen captains discussed with the regiment commander and deputy regiment commander in the house for a long time last night, but they could not come up with any safe and effective ideas, and finally had to rest and recuperate their spirits, and make plans after dawn tomorrow.
As soon as the day dawned, these captains couldn't sleep anymore, and gathered outside the room of the regiment commander Zhang Wenjun and Xiaolan early, talking anxiously and quietly.
It didn't take long for the head of the regiment Zhang Wenjun and the deputy head Xiaolan to wake up, and after getting up and cleaning up briefly, together with these captains, everyone got together again, and then discussed the next step.
This time, no one was allowed to speak, and the head of the regiment, Zhang Wenjun, spoke his decision first: "Captains, the current situation is that it is better to be motionless than quiet, we might as well hold on here for another day or two, if there is no miracle, it is not too late for us to think of a way to break through." Speaking of which, Zhang Wenjun secretly calculated in his heart, yesterday's distress talisman had been issued, and all the disciples of Dragon and Tiger Mountain should be able to sense it, such an obvious target as Wuling Mountain. When they gather people to rush to the rescue, it should be within a day or two. Well, we'll just have to wait a day or two.
Contrary to everyone's expectations, the deputy head of the regiment, Xiaolan, also agreed with this opinion: "Sister Wen Jun is right, it is better to be still than to be still, it is better to hold on for another day or two, let the brothers in the team take turns on duty, and strictly defend it, maybe, the army will send people to rescue us." Wen Jun looked at Xiaolan's slightly red and swollen eyes, and seemed to have an understanding in his heart. He frowned and sighed softly.
Wang Chang, the captain of the three major teams, even pulled his big voice and said his own reminiscence: "At present, if you want to hold on for two more days, it's not impossible, this time when we came, we brought enough dry food, enough for the brothers of our regiment to eat for three or four days, and there is a cistern in the backyard of this Hongmei Temple, so you don't have to worry about eating and drinking, but I'm afraid that after the brothers hold on for two days, the outside world still hasn't changed much, I'm afraid that our morale will become very low, which is not conducive to breaking through, I still agree to break out now, Find a way to fight your way out ......".
Just when Wang Chang was more than halfway through, a member of the team ran in a panic outside the door, and before he entered the door, he began to shout: "Regiment Commander, Regiment Commander, there is a situation, Regiment Commander, there is a situation." After entering the house, I found a large group of people discussing things here, and I was stunned.
"Lu Zixiong, you kid say quickly, what's the situation, running over to report in such a panic, is it the demon beast that has started to attack again?" Seeing that his speech had been interrupted by this man, the king stopped talking and asked the visitor to ask what was going on outside.
"Commander, it's a good thing, it's a great thing, the demon monkeys outside are gone, and they've disappeared cleanly. Not a single one left, all gone. I don't believe you, go out with me, and see." This team member named Lu Zixiong happily reported the situation outside to the decision-makers in these regiments.
"What, what did you say, the monkey demon retreated, how is it possible, go, let's go out and have a look"? Wang Chang was the first to lose his breath, wiped two handfuls on his face, and pulled off his beard, trying to make himself more sober.
Outside the temple, the place occupied by the demon monkey yesterday was full of bloodstains, it seems that there was a big battle here last night, Zhang Wenjun bent down and bowed his head, stretched out his hand and picked up a handful of yellow monkey hair from a pool of blood on the ground, it seems that the monkey demon did not escape, but was killed cleanly.
"Father, is that you"? If it was the senior brothers and disciples you sent to do it, why haven't I seen them come to me to go back until now, did your old man finally change his mind and agree to let me go out of the mountain to do my part for the common people in this catastrophe?
Xiaolan also had a smile on her face, but there was endless bitterness in her smile. The military's move is really fast, I told them to let them kill this group of monkey demons as soon as possible within one or two days, but I didn't expect that early this morning, these monkey demons were eliminated and there was no one left, do I really have to abide by the agreement I promised and marry the demon Qian Tuhao of the Qian family the day after tomorrow? Fat brother, why haven't you come yet, you know? Xiaolan can't hold on anymore, even if I die, I won't marry someone else. Except for you, fat brother, if there is really an afterlife, let's see you in the afterlife.
