Chapter 119: Praying Mantis Catches Cicadas
A wall of gray-black shale looks like a huge book erected, and the "cover" is faintly visible with dots of quartz, and the edges are partially soaked with small patches of mottled reddish-brown, which probably belong to minerals such as iron oxide.
Man Jianghong rubbed the flat surface with his fingers, and pressed it hard, feeling that it was scorched by the sun, the texture was dense and hard, and a light smile appeared on his face, nodding in appreciation.
Well, the stone is like a chalkboard, not bad!
At the beginning, he was in the Purple Mansion, and the handwriting drawn out by Zhou Yi with his fingers on the stone wall was not light, but now that the dragon soul is condensed and reborn, he naturally has a small comparative thought.
With his knees slightly bent, his eyes slightly closed, and his arms stretched, someone silently used his psionic energy after a few breaths, and the middle finger of his right hand pierced the stone face.
He wanted to draw a large circle on the stone, and write a big word "demolition" in the circle, just like the one commonly seen on the walls of illegal buildings in towns. He even took out a box of rouge from the sea boat, ready to stay for a while and apply it to the circles and handwriting, which must reveal a bloody and murderous effect.
Why not just write the word "kill"?
No, that's too blunt, too cheesy. This dumb riddle of flying out of the sky to "dismantle" will definitely make the big and small bulls scratch their heads, guess the edge, and brainstorming is not easy to make!
In addition, the Nanhai faction majored in divine sense, and the physical body was not strong, like Yu Canghai, a freak who belonged to a watermelon field and produced a big pumpkin. Brother Xiaoman carved words with his hands, deliberately showing his muscles to show his strength, just to make them suspicious, it is best to go to Kunlun Mountain to make trouble and touch his nose.
In an instant, the fingers were turbulent, and the spiritual energy was revealed a little, like the pearl of rice grains releasing the bright moonlight. With a slight "tuk", the finger looked at the rock as if it were nothing, like an iron bar pierced into the rubber mud.
Within half a breath, a big circle of Brother Xiaoman was about to be completed.
Hey......
However, an untimely light bang sounded like a thunderbolt in his ears.
Although Man Jianghong was concentrating on drawing circles, he did not give up monitoring the movement of the port, especially the passage, and immediately stopped after hearing the sound, tiptoed out a few meters, and carefully picked up a bush to peep.
This bluestone square is long and narrow in shape, about 50 meters wide. A passage between the two mountains faces the northern end of the harbor, so if you walk on the road, you won't be able to see the harbor ships without stepping out of the pass. At this moment, a man and a woman are turning out of the house with a corner of the cornice, only more than 50 meters away from the mountain pass, and only more than 100 meters away from the mountain bag where Man Jianghong is hiding. This little distance is quite dangerous for a master with a sensitive ear and eye, especially a strong divine sense.
"Huh...... Why are there so many birds pecking?" The man's voice was clear and stopped in bewilderment.
"What's strange about it, there must be food spilled while carrying goods. Look how lovely these birds are!" the woman took a few steps into the flock, crouched down and stroked her feathers with her hands. But those seabirds did not dodge and fly, but cooed, just buried their heads in the cracks of the stone and grass and persevered in searching.
When Man Jianghong saw this scene, he almost didn't blow up his lungs.
Although he circled the island to make sure that there was no one on either side of the harbor, after going ashore, he kept an eye on it, arranged an early warning measure, and threw the two handfuls of corn caught from the ship far into the mountain pass, and landed silently. A few clever birds in search of the square followed at once, and then gathered a large flock on the road. He had thought that as soon as someone approached, the seabirds would frighten away, and he would be able to detect it immediately, who knew that these flat-haired beasts were not afraid of people at all.
"We came from the warehouse just now, didn't Lao Sun Tou say that there was a lack of manpower, and he was going to carry the goods ashore tomorrow?" the man was still a little puzzled.
"Maybe it's the birds that Master Sun fed...... There are often albatross and petrels flying down the swallow building, and if my sisters and I don't drive them away, we will be scolded by Uncle Yuyang when we see them. Because there are many miscellaneous birds, it is not easy for carrier pigeons to settle down. The rest of the island doesn't pay attention to this, and there are a lot of people who feed the birds. ”
"You deal with intelligence every day in the Swallow Tower, and your mind is greatly consumed, so you have to pay attention to your body. Did you eat the Ming Qian Longjing I brought back a few days ago?"
"I soaked it yesterday, and the buds stood in the glass cup, sweet and beautiful. ”
"There is a faint spiritual vein on Shifeng Mountain by the West Lake, and the buds that come out before Qingming are the best, and one bud sprouts and one leaf ......."
The man took a few steps forward as he spoke, and his heart suddenly startled.
At first, he only felt that the scene of the flock of birds pecking was not right, but now standing in the flock of seabirds, he immediately felt the coolness under his feet, as if the aura gathered into small clusters of dispersion. It must be known that in order to keep the corn kernels from making a sound when they hit the ground, Brother Xiaoman has enough aura to control the trajectory. Originally, the aura attached to the corn should have escaped, but after being swallowed by the birds, it revealed its abnormality as they gathered together.
The man remained silent, squinting his eyes slightly, and felt that there was an extremely pale cyan trail in the air from here across the port square and behind the hill by the sea. Looking at the sea again, although there were no ships in sight, more than 300 meters away from the shore, there were long oblique shadows of four masts speeding away, and there were no sails.
Man Jianghong didn't know that he had exposed his horse's feet, pricked up his ears and listened quietly for a while, and when he saw that the two of them stopped and completely teased this group of seabirds as doves of peace, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Then I turned my head to look into the sea, and saw that the eleven ships were tilted fifty or sixty meters away, and the slowly sinking water flooded the deck, and only the mast was left when it sank fast. Da Bai was clever, just pulling the remaining four boats away, and the sunset in the west dragged the hull of the ship out of a long shadow on the sea.
That's the best!
Brother Xiaoman actually didn't want to meet with the Nanhai faction and fight.
Whether you can beat it or not is another matter, the key is that this is the only Taoist system handed down by Zhou Lu, from the inheritance of the same origin, from the generation of himself and Emperor Jianwen are at the same level, can be regarded as the ancestor of the Nanhai faction. Different angles of standing naturally lead to different ways of looking at problems. He compared the methods used by Lao Niubi on the night of the Tiger River and felt that the Nanhai faction was not a murderer. Although from the point of view of the laity, they are also very arrogant and annoying, but which Xiuzhen sect is not like this? Yuzhi Island is indeed suspected of abusing prisoners, but it is better than a knife click.
What's more, the end of the world is approaching, and he still lacks the means to save his life, and the South China Sea faction with the same origin will be the best choice for further study.
In fact, even Long Tian didn't know that the "supreme real person" who founded the South China Sea Sect was Emperor Jianwen (hehe, this Dao name is domineering enough and worthy of a generation of kings), and Emperor Jianwen's master is the famous immortal Zhou Lu, who said such things.
The reasons why mainland cultivators squeeze out the South China Sea faction are: First, the attack of divine consciousness cannot be seen or touched, and it cannot be prevented, which is a bit like a hidden weapon and poison in the martial arts, and it is despised. Second, living in the corner of the sea, not the orthodoxy of my Shenzhou. 3. Specifically plagiarizing the exercises of various factions, causing the anger of the heavens and people. Fourth, the background is shallow, there have been no immortals in history, and there are no cattle people who have shocked the world in modern times. Their strength is supported by the millions of believers in the Luzon Islands, and the island of Loufu is the Vatican of Christendom. But for the cultivators on the Haohao Divine Prefecture, Fanbang is a small country, how can it be worried!
Long Tian even predicted that the Lingxiao Conference, the highest level gathering in the Xiuzhen Realm every five years, would be presided over by the Taodu faction in September this year. If the Nanhai faction does not withdraw its forces from the mainland before attending the meeting, I am afraid that some sects will unite and tear their faces apart to squeeze it out.
Therefore, from the standpoint of the same sect, Brother Xiaoman has a kinship with the Nanhai Sect.
In the past, he felt that the world was either white or black, that a person was either good or bad, and that one thing was either right or wrong. Now I find that many things are difficult to define, and many emotions are not about love and hate. Just like the Nanhai faction, on the one hand, he wants to fight evasion, and on the other hand, he wants to maintain closer.
The man standing among the seabirds looked solemn.
He sensed that those faint aura masses were extremely pure, which he had only seen in his life, and he couldn't even catch up with the two Supreme Elders of the eighth layer of qi refining. However, based on these residual breaths alone, he couldn't judge the strength of the realm, and he didn't believe that the other party was planning to sneak into the sect, just to steal a few sea ships.
Luofu Island is a vast sea from north to south, directly connecting the north and south poles. Two thousand miles to the west is the Shenzhou mainland, and one thousand miles to the southwest there is only a slightly larger Yudi Island, and the rest of the islands and reefs are uninhabited. Five hundred miles to the east is the arc-shaped chain of the Luzon Islands, where warships and aircraft guard the sea.
The other party is obviously more than one person, how did he sneak in quietly across the vast sea area?
What a powerful method, such a big dog's guts! I don't even take my South China Sea Holy Sect seriously.
Didn't he hide in the ship that transported the goods and entered, and there was an apostate traitor in Luzon?
Several of the man's magic weapons were damaged in the battle with the "Bright World", and he thought about going out for a walk with his senior sister today, I am afraid that she did not carry powerful artifacts on her body. The other party also left one to hide behind the mountain bag, but he couldn't let him jump into the sea. The water quality is not good, the port is remote, and it is too late for the division commanders to arrive. The dragon that protects the island can only be approached by the head and the elder Taishang, and he returned from being seriously injured half a year ago, and is recuperating, I don't know how many heavenly treasures and magic talismans have been consumed. This guy has a violent temperament, and there has never been a living mouth under his mouth, so it's better not to disturb it.
What should I think of?
The woman who was teasing the bird turned her head and saw that his face was gloomy, and she couldn't help but exclaim, "What's wrong with you?"
Hearing this exclamation, Man Jianghong, who was about to turn around, was startled, and hurriedly leaned over to take a peek.
The man's heart was broken, for fear of startling the snake, so he was in a hurry, and looked up to the sky and sighed:
"Well, I'm incompetent...... Half a year ago, he fought with "Bright World", and the two elders and the junior disciples were buried in the Tianlong Research Institute, and the whereabouts of Uncle Yuyang, Yu Canghai, and Guo Chunhai are still unknown, and the outer gates of the North and South Yue are almost wiped out, and the Dao heart of the junior brother of Nanxing is damaged and the realm has plummeted...... Even the swallow building was collectively punished. ”
"Don't always blame yourself, isn't this matter exposed? Even the head of the sect said that it is a great achievement for you to risk your life to save Nanxing! Yanzilou is in charge of intelligence, and he is also responsible. For example, on the afternoon of the decisive battle with "Bright World", we received the news of the 'military movement', but the flying pigeon was transmitted to Luzon, and then Luzon called you to inform you that it was too late. ”
"It's useless to be notified, you still have to call if you should fight...... Hey, I don't understand, since one foot has already stepped into the red dust, why does the sect still engage in flying pigeon transmission? Why do they have to take a wooden boat for ten days to go to Yuzhi Island, and a helicopter can be called from Luzon to fly there in half a day. ”
The woman twisted her delicate eyebrows, looked at the man and said:
"Shhh......h Didn't the division commanders say that no matter how clever it is, I only guard the Dao heart. If everything is convenient and comfortable, Luofu Island will be turned into a vegetable market. You see, if the swallow building has a telephone, does the canteen need a whole refrigerator, and does the handyman also need a car...... Besides, when the inner and outer doors were doing things in the secular world, the sect did not prohibit the use of technology, but it was not advocated. ”
"Yes, Senior Sister Luo Shang taught the right lesson, Yunfei was confused. ”
The man put his left hand on his right palm, raised his chest up, and bent down to give a deep salute.
The woman was still squatting on the ground, and when she saw the other party solemnly saluting, she was stunned for a while. Seeing that although he posed as a chief and spoke respectfully, his neck was stretched, his blazing eyes quickly circled his waist, and he stared at his chest, and couldn't help but be ashamed, and stood up with a red face and turned sideways, and his heart was pounding and pounding.
My brother is bold today, why am I not annoyed, but I seem to have some joy?
"The magic weapon on my senior sister's chest is full and moist, what is it?"
Where did the woman hear such presumptuous words, thinking that he was deliberately teasing, and scolded "Dengzi" in her heart, but her hand did not obey the call, and she untied a jade ring from her neck and handed it over, saying: "One, a piece of miscellaneous jade, my mother gave it before going to the island." Even his voice trembled a little.
The man didn't catch it all of a sudden, and hurriedly attached himself and copied it with his right hand, which was able to grab it in front of the jade ring touching the ground, as if he was afraid of falling down again, and squatted down again to hold it with his left hand.
The flock of birds on the ground was fanned by his arm and scattered violently, but they did not go far, and grunted to show their dissatisfaction.
The woman was so frightened that she patted her towering chest with her hand and swallowed back a scream. This jade ring is worthless, but it is the only thought left by his mother, he has been with him for more than ten years, how can it be broken if it is broken? No, Senior Brother Yunfei has seen this piece of jade thousands of times, how can he say such strange words today?
The man's jade hands slowly left the ground, and two words appeared on the stone slab under the back of his hand: someone.
Someone?
Where the sect is located, it is heavily guarded, and there are actually outsiders who have landed on the island?
The woman's eyes widened, and she looked at the ground, then at the man, who nodded imperceptibly.
Oh, so he's acting!
The woman suddenly realized, and instantly felt a sense of loss.
But after all, after many years of cultivation in the Swallow Tower, Luo Sheng quickly regained his composure, took the jade ring from the man's hand with a smile, and said angrily: "If it is broken, you will be compensated!" When I saw the jade ring, I thought of my family...... Hey, I heard that my younger brother, who didn't make it to talent, left home to work a few days ago, and I don't know where he is now. ”
The man and she have known each other for many years, but they don't know that the other party doesn't have a younger brother, but he said: "Don't worry, the eastern part of Luzon Island is being developed, and the hills near the avenue by the sea are all under construction, and there are crowds of people, so you may go there." ”
The two of them had a tacit understanding, and the meaning of these two sentences was: Where are the people hiding? On the hill that is directly opposite the intersection in the east.
......
When Man Jianghong heard that the young man with an extraordinary appearance was the legendary Flying Dragon General Yun Fei of Yudi Island, he couldn't help but be very interested. But then the two talked about the parents, and the more they listened, the more bored they became. After waiting for a while, seeing that they did not mean to get out of the mountain pass for a while, they bowed down and tiptoed back.
Brother Xiaoman's fascination and suspicion have not yet been completed, so we have to hurry up.
The lines on the slate were about half an inch deep, and the lower part of a large circle was almost closed, but when the hand shook at the sound of the sound, the last touch ran diagonally downward, forming the shape of a fishhook. If you poke another hole at the bottom, it becomes a fairly standard thick question mark.
The moon is pooping, and the master doesn't even draw a circle!
Seabed sedimentary rocks are harder than shale, and shale is more brittle than sedimentary rocks, and the difficulty of carving on them is about the same. Try writing a few more words, it's better than Zhou Lu's earthworm queue.
What to write? Since there is a suspicion, it is necessary to convey some ambiguous or whimsical information that can lead people astray. At present, the momentum of the round lines has been truncated, and it is obviously inappropriate to write the word "demolition" or "kill" in the upside-down "fish hook".
On the other side of the mountain pass, like a silver bottle, there was a loud shouting and scolding of high decibels. Brother Xiaoman was thinking about it in frustration, and suddenly he was angry. I said what's wrong with you, this mushroom cool, you are always startled like a pig, and there is no awareness of a true lady, do you want anyone to stop!
But there is no way, this is someone's territory, and it will be very troublesome to be discovered.
Someone had to force the irritability, and the ghost head and brain stepped back.
Damn, why is Yunfei's goods gone? The startled "lady" raised her willow eyebrows, her apricot eyes widened, and she pointed to the dense bushes on the side of the road and scolded:
“...... Yunfei, don't think I don't know that you have a little friend on Yudi Island, and you gave her a small bronze mirror last time. Don't think I don't know what you mean by inspecting the warehouse, you are checking to see if there is any food arranged for Yudi Island, and whether the sect is preparing to abandon the island......"
The branches and leaves of the bush shook several times as if they were blown by the wind, but the man never said a word.
Amitabha, a woman who has a temper is so fierce, I don't know if it will become like this in the future.
The red rabbit in the river is sad and sad, and he bows silently three times in his heart, and Yunfei's classmates are immortal!
No, look at the way you two are leaving, you should still be in the stage where the window paper has not been pierced, how dare you make a big move like "Hedong Lion's Roar"? Yunfei and Shui Yue have nothing to do with it, but ...... Shui Yue's favorite is really a small copper mirror.
While gossiping in his heart, he retreated his gaze to the mountain pass along the bushes of the woman's fingers, extended most of the circle to the left, and found that the woods were dense and continuous, and he actually reached the left side of the hill bag, and his heart sank suddenly.
It's not good, the master seems to have been dragged into a plan!
Just when someone suddenly woke up and was about to make a move, a cold voice came from behind him.
"Where did you get this Taoist robe?"
