568. The sense of déjà vu of traversing
The Occultation Moon Lake is in the shape of a crescent moon and opens to the east, and the crescent moon in the center is the new Feisuo Port City under construction. The town of Occultation is located on the tip of the crescent moon to the north, about 20 kilometers from the city of New Africa.
Its surroundings are now full of wilderness, and to the southwest is the Occult Moon Lake. Hua Zhenxing was sure that the two missing classmates were not in the lake, because he and Man Man were swimming in the lake in that area when they were missing.
Yangyuan Valley mobilized a large number of people to find it, but if people really entered the depths of the wilderness, no matter how many people as ordinary, it was like looking for a needle in a haystack, and whether they could be found could only depend on luck
In order to prevent further accidents, Hua Zhenxing ordered that only monks above the four realms could enter the wilderness, and that twelve people should march in groups, so that they could form a magnolia sword formation at any time.
These people only searched in the vicinity, and Yangyuan Valley also sent four Dacheng monks, each holding a flying artifact to be responsible for searching in the four directions.
Among them, Hua Zhenxing was in charge of the north side, because he was the highest cultivation among all people and knew the local situation the best, while the north side was the largest and most complex wasteland area.
Hua Zhenxing collected the things that the two of them used every day in advance, used the detection magic and cast the round light mirror spell, and "saw" the scene when they left.
Sure enough, they went to the northern wilderness together, probably to enjoy the local natural scenery, a little excited and curious, not realizing that there might be danger.
The monk has a lot of incredible magical powers, and if he reacts sooner, no matter what happens to these two men, at least their whereabouts will be found soon.
But by the time Hua Zhenxing used his magical powers, nearly five days had passed. Detecting divine magic also requires the so-called "spiritual guidance", that is, those trace information that is difficult for ordinary people to detect, but most of this information has dissipated.
Hua Zhenxing's high-level detection magic technique combined with the Round Light Mirror Divine Ability, could only meander to a few dozen kilometers away in the northerly direction, and he could only confirm that the two had arrived there, and then lost the clues to their whereabouts.
There is a chaotic atmosphere in this area, and there are large-scale wildlife population activities, leaving traces of various herds of animals running and trampling.
Hua Zhenxing, Shi Zhongming, Gao Jianling, Pan Cai and other four people separated from this location and searched for the four locations respectively.
There are now eight Dacheng monks in Yangyuan Valley, namely Hua Zhenxing, Pan Cai, Sima Zhi, Wang Fengshou, Man Man, Tang Senzhi, Gao Jianling, and Fang Chuanchan. There are also Ye Zongqing and Shi Zhongming, who are resident in Huanxiang Tebang, and they are also half of the Yangyuan Valley monks.
These Dacheng monks are usually on one side, and it is difficult for ordinary things to alarm them, this embarrassing accident, Hua Zhenxing can temporarily mobilize only three people, and even he himself has personally dispatched.
Wang Fengshou is a foreign minister and intelligence chief for several miles, and his butt is smoky on weekdays, so it is impossible to leave his job and run to the wilderness to find people. Man Man and Fang Chuanchan are both far away in Dongguo, one has just gone back to school, and the other has just returned to work.
Sima is close, but unfortunately he is in the vacuum tribulation, and his magical power is lost. Tang Senzhi couldn't leave at all, there was a lot of work that he needed to do every day, and Ye Zongqing, who had the highest cultivation, couldn't leave either.
Although the teachers and students of Feisuogang University returned from the construction site of the Occult Town, the construction of the Occultating Town did not stop, and Yangyuan Valley sent another team of monks to continue the construction.
The city wall is integrated into the overall formation, and the formation must be arranged at the same time as construction, and the formation designed by Hua Zhenxing must be at least seven realms of cultivation to be coordinated and arranged.
Except for Hua Zhenxing, Ye Zongqing was the only Seven Realm cultivator on the scene, and as soon as she left, the entire construction site had to be stopped, and hundreds of people had to wait.
The one who got lost was the person from the Five Heart Valley, as the owner of the Five Heart Valley, Ye Zongqing was the most anxious, but he couldn't stop the whole project because of the two people who ran away without permission, and another big old Shi Zhongming was sent out.
Gao Jianling happened to go to Huanxiang Tebang to "report to work", and when he heard the news, he took the initiative to ask for help, and it only took six hours to return by special plane from Viking, and he picked up Pan Cai in Brusse on the way.
Just by looking at this group of experts involved in the search and rescue, you can know what a big battle this is.
Why does Huazhen attach so much importance to this matter? Saving people is of course the reason on the one hand, on the other hand, he always feels unusual, if he can't figure out the reason, he always has no bottom in his heart, and even two Three Realm monks can have an accident!
Hua Zhenxing cast the form of devouring the wither, turning into a crown and flying high into the air, patrolling back and forth in a zigzag shape, scanning a large fan-shaped area that stretched outward.
He is best at turning into a crane, but compared with the wither, the flight speed and eyesight of the crane are far inferior, and it is most convenient to do this kind of search work.
Extending the search area of dozens of kilometers to the north, all the way to the limit of the divine sense, even Hua Zhenxing felt tired, if he wanted to find someone's lost sheep, as long as it was here and not eaten, it was estimated that he would find it at this moment.
When Hua Zhenxing was about to land, he finally found a little trace. Someone once camped deep in the moor, because in the hollow of a small hill, there were the remains of a campfire.
Wild animals do not light fires, and they do not deliberately erase the traces of fires. All the ashes were buried under the soil, and if Hua Zhenxing hadn't launched a divine search in the sky, he really wouldn't have noticed the abnormality of the soil.
The bonfire appears to have been left behind a few days ago, and should coincide with the disappearance of the two students. Hua Zhenxing judged that this was the work of a master, and it was definitely not the fire lit by the two students.
There will definitely be signs of movement where campers are coming from, such as where campers are going. However, Hua Zhenxing could not find any relevant traces, which shows that the camper is very good at stealth, and he is very cautious, and erases all the clues of his whereabouts.
If Hua Zhenxing can't find out the traces, he must be a master, and he is probably not a good person! Why do you think so? He is still so cautious in this deserted place, and he doesn't even leave his whereabouts, probably he hasn't done anything good, right?
Hua Zhenxing found out that he had been to this place before, and he had taken this route to escort Rochard through the wilderness to Miri Airport in Tema Country, and he had also camped nearby.
It was found that people had been camping in the wilderness, but Hua Zhenxing was not sure if it was related to the disappearance of the two students. Fortunately, he found the bonfire, and he used the detection magic as a supplement to cast a round light mirror, and dimly saw a black mist-like figure floating away to the north.
This is definitely not a normal person, how can the figure of a normal person be like a black mist, and it is floating and walking? It's a pity that the other party left not much detectable information, and can only see that it is leaving from this direction.
Hua Zhenxing was not in a hurry to track it, and the people who passed by a few days ago were too late to chase it now. He cautiously changed places, set up the stone nodding array for vigilance, rested and regained his spirit, and then flew back into the air.
This time he flew very low and very slowly, not only with his withered eyesight, but also with a more subtle scan of his divine sense, and finally found another trace more than ten kilometers away in the north—someone had passed by here.
The other person may be more cautious at certain times, such as before and after camping, but there are always moments to relax on the way, as long as the person does not fly away directly, there will always be some traces.
Hua Zhenxing used a stupid method, he didn't quite believe that a person could perfectly hide his tracks during the entire process of walking through the wilderness, which even he couldn't do, and this stupid method really worked.
The crown withered and turned into a tiger, and the tiger seemed to be thinking, shook his head, and turned into a leopard again. The original intention of becoming a tiger was to track, because the tiger's sense of smell is very good, and Hua Zhenxing's proficiency in swallowing the form of a tiger is second only to that of a crane and a jiao.
But after landing, he realized that there was no tiger in this area at all, which was to clearly tell the witnesses that there was something wrong with the animal, and he, the tracker, should also be cautious enough to try to avoid being counter-detected by the other party, so he became a leopard again.
Old man Yang taught him eight ways to swallow shapes, Hua Zhenxing has mastered the five kinds of swallowing wither, swallowing cranes, swallowing tigers, swallowing leopards, and swallowing Jiao, and the other three have not yet been practiced.
Hua Zhenxing had to admire the ancient monks, who were able to create such a complex secret method, and his original intention was probably to comprehend the way to transcend the sentient beings. But what Old Man Yang said was also right, practicing the form-swallowing technique is only to comprehend its true meaning, and there is no need to learn too much of the form-swallowing method.
It is not easy to learn every method of swallowing form, it takes a lot of energy, and if there is no breakthrough in the realm, it is actually equivalent to a low-level repetition, and it is a repeated dissolution of self-consciousness and self-knowledge.
Whether you can turn into a tiger or a leopard doesn't mean much to the masters.
But Hua Zhenxing not only learned, but also cultivated five kinds in a row, and he mainly found it interesting. On the other hand, Old Man Yang can teach him eight kinds, which means that he knows at least eight kinds, and Hua Zhenxing doesn't feel that there is anything wrong with learning a few more.
The cultivation state in front of him was very special, reaching the extreme of the Seven Realms but it seemed to be stagnant. Jogale once hinted that he could be reborn, but Hua Zhenxing himself did not have this kind of consciousness, and he was not even in a hurry.
Wouldn't he want to break through to a higher cultivation realm? Of course not! You can't speculate about a monk like him in the state of mind of ordinary people, Hua Zhenxing always feels that his cultivation has not reached the point, and he is not yet complete in the Seven Realms, that is, the Imperial God Realm.
The more important reason is that he is the pioneer of the Yuan Cultivation Technique, not a simple practitioner, if the cultivation process of each layer of the skill is not thoroughly understood, it will be difficult to guide and enlighten others.
Therefore, he insisted on cultivating the Huzhong world, practicing various instrument methods, Dan methods, spells, and formations, and also creating real blocks in the Huzhong world, and cultivating so many methods of swallowing shapes, which were actually means of sealing.
The disciples of Yangyuan Valley call him the chief teacher, in a sense, this title is very appropriate, and the existing inheritance of Yangyuan Valley seems to have no one that he can't. At this moment, the tiger turned into a leopard on the ground, carefully sensing the breath left by the camper.
The sense of smell of tigers and leopards is extremely keen, not to mention that Hua Zhenxing is not an ordinary leopard, but equivalent to a powerful leopard demon, what he is searching for is not just a simple smell, but also contains a very mysterious intuition in the eyes of ordinary people.
The person passed by here, and the aura left behind made Hua Zhenxing instinctively feel very uncomfortable, but he couldn't tell why. The leopard walks through the meadows and trees, through the plains and hills, and traces the slightest hint of nothingness.
When night came, he did not stop, and when the light was faint, he looked up again, and there was no road ahead, a thorn grid that even elephants could not pass. He had come to the border between the country of Mile and Tema.
The same thorn grid fence, also found at the junction of the agricultural area and the city of Shire, is the boundary line of Huanxiang Tebang, or the fence of private land in the wind.
Originally, the border between Tema and Jili Country only had boundary pillars, and you could cross the border at will, but after crossing the border, there were at least more than 100 kilometers of uninhabited wilderness, and if you went in the wrong direction, you would have to pass through hundreds of kilometers of wasteland before it was inhabited.
There are no perennial rivers in this wasteland, it is not suitable for human settlement, and since ancient times, there have been no obvious and conventional boundaries between the natural barriers between the local tribes.
Later, the Western colonizers divided the sphere of influence and drew a line directly on the map by dimension.
Feng Zibin not only bought nearly 100,000 square kilometers of land in the northernmost part of the country, but also bought the Gobi Desert in the northwest at the junction of Tema and Langni, which is more than 50,000 square kilometers.
Among them, the border with Tema is almost a straight line on the map, with a length of nearly 300 kilometers. It was built by Huanxiang Industry at the expense of Tema Country, because it was very inconvenient to build in the country of Jili.
The original factory in northeast China that produced thorn mesh grids was simply acquired by Huanxiang Industrial, and even the production line and technical personnel were moved to Jili Country, and now the Wage Mining Industry in Jili Country can produce the required steel.
The thorn grid fence on this border line has openings in five places with special terrain, mainly for wild animals to migrate and cross, all of which are inaccessible and there are no gaps in this area.
There is no sign of destruction of the nearly four-meter-high thorn grid, and if anyone passes through here, it must have been directly overturned. The leopard transformed by Hua Zhenxing jumped and jumped straight over.
A short walk further on, you will come to a populated area, and a road will appear. In many places in the Black Wilderness Continent, the population and the wilderness are actually staggered, and many so-called highways are dirt avenues that have been compacted and do not grow grass.
But the road is still of high specification, at least paved with cinders and gravel, and it leads to Miri Airport on the outskirts of Miri, the capital of Tema country. Hua Zhenxing came to the side of the highway and changed his body, and returned to his human appearance.
He has walked this road, and he was with Dr. Luo seven and a half years ago, and it is inevitable that he will feel a little emotional when he revisits the old place at this moment. At this moment, a tattered pickup truck came from behind and stopped right next to him, and a pistol sticking out of the passenger window.
"Dongzhou Lao, money!"
What a simple and simple language, Hua Zhenxing has not heard it for many years, turned his head to look, not only the big black man in the co-driver took out a gun, but the driver in the driver's seat also took out a gun and gestured, listening to the harsh music and shaking his head as if he had epilepsy.
Hua Zhenxing sighed, and couldn't help but feel a little dazed, feeling as if he had traveled back to the world of the past.
It's too normal for a Dongzhou person to walk alone in such a place, and encounter this kind of scene - this is the normality of that world, and it feels so abnormal!
Seeing that Hua Zhenxing didn't react, the two guys were about to make a move, Hua Zhenxing suddenly flew up, and saw the pickup truck spinning and flying out, landing in the bushes on the side of the road and making a loud noise.
When he first came, Hua Zhenxing, who had kung fu, was able to kick a person, but now he not only has the cultivation of the Seven Realms, but also took the Lu Wu Shen Lun Dan and cultivated the Iron Wajin Shejue, and it was just a trivial matter to raise his foot and kick a pickup truck.
Hua Zhenxing was in a bad mood, and the two of them happened to hit the muzzle of his gun...... Moving on, I heard the roar of planes, and then I saw Miri Airport.
Miri Airport was the first airport Hua Zhenxing had ever seen, and it felt so beautiful and magnificent. Hua Zhenxing was very envious and hoped that there would be such an airport near his home, when he was fifteen years old.
He will be twenty-three years old next month, and when he sees Miri Airport again, it is almost the same as it was back then, not a tall two-story terminal, with only one standard runway, but it looks more dilapidated.
The airport is built on the outskirts, which is a real suburb, and passengers may be able to see giraffes running in the distance through the portholes when planes land.
Unconsciously, Hua Zhenxing walked to a familiar place again, which was the corner of the end of the terminal, and there were green belts on both sides of the walking path, which were sloppied.
It's not that there's anything wrong with keeping the green belt, but in such a corner, there is such a green belt, and when the vegetation grows high, it will form a visual blind spot, and this kind of place is often suitable for some kind of bad things to happen.
I remember that after sending Rochard away, Hua Zhenxing walked by here and was blocked by two and a half children. The other party took a fancy to his shoes, forced him to take them off with a knife, and even tried to snatch his clothes.
Hua Zhenxing remembered that he kicked the kid with the knife into the air, and the other party flew into the airport terminal through the bushes and smashed the glass...... Looking up, the large glass had of course been repaired a long time ago, but the color obviously did not match, like an ugly scar.
The original glass of the terminal building is darker in color, and it looks blue from the outside, with a certain sunshade and single transparency effect. But then it was an ordinary piece of white glass, and the thickness was much thinner, and the size of the top was a little worse, so it was filled with glue.
In fact, Hua Zhenxing knew this airport very well, and later learned that it was also built with the aid of Dongguk, which is a very high specification for Miri City. A good airport, won't it be maintained, and even a piece of glass will be so sloppily repaired?
Is it simply because of a lack of money? As far as Hua Zhenxing knows, this airport is profitable, in Dongguo dialect, it is a rare "good unit" in Tema country, and even Huanxiang Industry has spent a lot of money for it.
Thinking that Rochard Airport was not open to traffic at the beginning, Huanxiang Industry deliberately "bought" Miri Airport, and a large number of people from Dongguo got on and off the plane here.
They took a special bus from Miri Airport to and from the nearest marine terminal, and then took a passenger ferry arranged by Huanxiang Industry to and from the port of Africa, which was the most convenient route to and from Dongguo at that time.
The piece of glass in front of him symbolizes the current situation in many places in the Black Wilderness Continent, just like the country of several miles back then. Even if many facilities and equipment are built and provided, they can barely be used by the locals, and they will not be maintained and repaired.
There is neither technology nor materials, and even the locals have no awareness of maintenance and repair.
Some people may think that repairing a piece of glass is as simple as going to the market and taking a turn, or just calling a maintenance master. But there is no such glass produced in the local area, and there are not even decent glassmakers, so what else can be done?
Some simple machinery has the so-called "failure", in fact, just open the shell and tighten a few screws, but those who don't know just don't know, anyway, they only know that this thing is broken.
If that's always the case, how can life be good?
But there are some things that always have to be fixed, like cars. It's rare for someone to fix a car, even if it's just the simplest of changing parts, and then they can open a garage, but these shops are usually run by gangsters in their neighborhood.
The repair shop will also become a source of money and a stronghold for the gang, monopolizing the business in its sphere of influence, and most people don't understand it anyway, and they have the final say on how much money to charge.
As for the supply channels of spare parts, they are controlled by the larger power groups above these gangs, and they have also become a means of enriching themselves by dividing the sphere of influence.
It was normal to buy and sell, but when the world is not normal, it will evolve into a strange situation.
I think that when the straw shovel gang took root in the port of Africa, it started from repairing, not only helping people repair things but also teaching people to repair things, and helping each other to resist the oppression of major gangs......
Hua Zhenxing was distracted by a piece of glass, and two more people appeared in front of and behind him, blocking him on the trail in the greenery.
The person who came was no longer the half-grown son of the year, but a young man who was about the same age as Hua Zhenxing, and they took out their daggers respectively, and the person in front of them said: "Don't scream!" ”
The man in the back said: "Money! And your shoes! ”
They all speak Yin, including the people in the pickup truck just now, they may not have taken a formal Yinyu class, but they have mastered such vocabulary and conversation, and even the tense is not wrong, is this the so-called professional Yinyu?
In places like Tema and cities like Miri, there are also relatively safe and orderly so-called noble neighborhoods. The airport is not a neighborhood, but it is also a very safe place, with all kinds of bigwigs and foreign guests coming and going, and there are many security guards and police patrols.
But ordinary guests will not appear in this kind of corner, and the cars are open passages, and Hua Zhenxing is from outside the apron and behind the side of the terminal, and it may be targeted from afar.
There are a lot of thieves in this kind of place, and these people are usually not very "professional" and will rob them when they have the opportunity.
With a shrill crisp sound, the unsightly piece of white glass shattered again, and one person flew in, followed by another.
The patrolling police and airport security guards were alarmed, and Hua Zhenxing had already left the corner and appeared outside the gate of the terminal.
He was originally following a wisp of vague, inexplicable, and uncomfortable feelings, and it was strange that he was in a good mood in this situation, and his mood was even worse at the moment, because he had lost his target.
This airport, this place, this city, this country, the world it represents, the invisible breath makes Hua Zhenxing very uncomfortable, just like the Feisuo Port and the country of a few miles back then, and of course there is no way to distinguish that wisp of feeling.
At this moment, he suddenly frowned slightly, because the "system" came to the task again-
Mission 34: Investigate the disappearance of the Cultivator and uncover the creatures of darkness.
Reward: If you find a hidden danger in cultivating the Yuan Cultivation Technique, you can remove it as much as possible.
