Chapter 186: The Mist (3)
It turned out that after a period of excavation, the Cultural Relics Bureau found that although the patterns on these stone pillars were different, because they were at the same distance from each other, they showed a circle after the ground map, and they speculated that they must have found them in the center of the circle.
Sure enough, an ancient altar buried in the dirt and rocks was found in the center of the circle, and traces of excavation were also found. So, they immediately made a report and began rescue excavation work, which is less than half progress, but has found many bronze artifacts of great research value.
But just six days ago, after the fog rose, except for some peripheral personnel, everyone in the circle lost contact, including the police search and rescue team that arrived later, as well as experts sent by the Governor's Office.
This is not trivial, more than 100 people have disappeared before and after, this is the first time in Dayongdu, where the aura has recovered, and it has to be taken seriously.
On the same day, an army put the nearby area under military control.
"Are there civilians missing?" Yuan Xing asked.
"Yes, at present, more than a dozen reports of missing mountain people who went to the wild or went to the mountains to collect game, fortunately, there are no villages and towns within the dense fog, otherwise the consequences will be even more unimaginable." Xiang Ling said helplessly.
Yuan Xing is also speechless, it's really ......
When he saw the black air on the stone pillar that day, he thought it was not an ordinary thing, but unfortunately at that time, because of the appearance of Huaizhen's divine thoughts, he only had time to take a photo, and he lost his self-consciousness before he could send it out.
Later, when he returned home, his phone was recovered, and the photo was sent to the Governor's Mansion, along with a detailed description of the situation and his own guesses.
I thought that there should be no problems with a professional, but I never expected that such a serious thing would happen.
Yuan Xing frowned, slid the picture on the tablet on his hand, and asked: "Just looking at the arrangement of these stone pillars, it seems to be some kind of formation, the poor monk can't understand it, what does the Daomen say?" ”
"After the accident, our experts had a similar judgment, but they really couldn't tell which formation it belonged to. The fog covered there was very strange, cutting off all electronic signals, and even satellites in the sky could not detect the situation on the ground. The Shonan Governor's Office specially invited well-known local religious figures and folklore experts, and there were different opinions, and there was no conclusion after arguing for a long time. Xiang Ling sighed and shook his head.
"Since there is no conclusion, how did Daoist Li Xiuyao disappear yesterday?" Yuan Xing asked. On the phone before, Xiang Ling only said that a large-scale strange incident had occurred, and Li Xiuyao had also disappeared because of this. Although he has not been in contact with Li Daochang for a long time, he feels that he is not an impulsive person, since there is no conclusion, why should he take risks alone?
"Because among the experts sent by the Governor's Mansion are the disciples of the True Dragon Temple, there has been no news for five days, Li Xiuyao is really worried, so he ...... "Xiang Ling naturally knows Daochang Li, and it is inevitable to sigh when he talks about this.
It turns out that this is the case, the fate is sudden, and now the outside world does not know the actual situation in the formation at all, but according to the time, the situation of the people inside should be very bad at this time, and if they delay for one more day, the missing person will be more risky, no wonder Li Xiuyao will be in a hurry.
"So, it's been a day since Daochang Li went in." Yuan Xing took out his mobile phone, looked at the time, and a trace of sorrow floated between his eyebrows, Li Xiuyao's strength is not weak, such a master is trapped in it, this situation is inevitably not good.
"Li Xiuyao is the head of the next generation of the True Dragon Temple, and this matter is big. Therefore, the imperial court issued an urgent edict at noon, inviting the country's masters above the sixth order to enter Shonan. Xiang Ling looked deeply at Yuanxing, and emphasized again: "Although it is a convening order issued by the imperial court, it is not in the nature of an order, it is completely voluntary to come and go, if you don't want to go, we will turn around and go back immediately."
"No, since the poor monk has agreed to accompany him, he is already mentally prepared."
Yuan Xing shook his head, not to mention his relationship with Li Xiuyao's friends, it was impossible for the more than 100 people who disappeared to sit idly by. Whether you have the ability to solve this problem or not, you must always go over and see it before you can feel at ease.
-----------------------
The off-road vehicle with flashing police lights set off from the military airport, rampaged through the city, sped through the road, ran through many red lights, passed through several villages and towns, drove more and more remotely, the road became narrower, and the off-road vehicle had to slow down.
It was another more than an hour's journey, until the sky was completely dark, and after several checkpoints, we finally arrived at a large military camp.
After Yuan Xing got out of the car, his eyes swept over the soldiers with loaded guns and ammunition and the armored vehicles and heavy weapons parked around, and finally looked at a dense fog not far from the camp.
"Where are you two colleagues?" A middle-aged man wearing the uniform of the Governor's Mansion rushed to the front of the car, but he was stunned when he saw Yuan Xing, and his outstretched hands were retracted, and his palms were folded together and he saluted: "Hello, Master." ”
After returning the salute, he stretched out his hand and shook Xiang Lingxuxu, and said with a smile: "My name is Qi Hetong, and I am responsible for your reception, you can just call me Lao Qi." ”
"Hello, we're from Island City." Xiang Ling smiled and wanted to explain his identity to the other party.
"Island City." Qi Hetong raised his eyebrows and looked at Yuan Xing in some surprise: "This must be Master Sanzang, right?" "As a local connector in Shonan Province, he has already obtained a detailed list of veterans. But he really didn't expect that in the perception of the cultivation world, the first Sanzang monk of the younger generation of Buddhism would be so young.
Yuan Xingzi didn't know what the other party was thinking, let alone had the intention of saying polite words, so he pointed to the fog in the distance and asked directly: "Has the fog range expanded in the past few days?" ”
Lao Qi hurriedly shook his head: "There has been no change recently. ”
"That's good." Yuan Xing was somewhat relieved, and if the enveloping range of the mist would change, it would really not be good.
"However, just in case, we still carried out an emergency evacuation of the residents of the villages and towns around the fog." Lao Qi sighed, then led them towards the center of the camp with his right hand.
Yuan Xing and Xiang Ling followed closely behind him, listening to him introduce the situation here as they walked.
"At present, many masters have already arrived at the camp, and a little later, people from afar will also arrive." Lao Qi avoided a group of patrolling soldiers, and emphasized: "The security work here has been taken over by the army, so in order to avoid misunderstanding, I hope that the two of you will not move around at will at night, especially near the fog, and the guards will be tighter." That's right......" he said this, and slapped his forehead: "It's so late, you two haven't had dinner yet, right?" I'll take you to the cafeteria first. ”
"No, I ate in the car." Xiang Ling hurriedly waved his hand. Suddenly, after passing shoulders with two men in black Guardian Mansion uniforms, Xiang Ling's body was for a while, approached Yuanxing, and whispered: "Unexpectedly, the people from the Spiegel Division have also arrived." ”
"Spiegel?" Yuan Xing looked at her suspiciously, and the latter explained. It turned out that after the national restructuring, the responsibilities of the Governor's Office were completely different from those in ancient times, and it almost stood on the bright side, no longer interfering in intelligence collection work, and was only responsible for internal supervision and verification. However, as a newly established department, the Spiegel Division is the most special existence in the Governor's Mansion, and is only responsible to the Metropolitan Governor.
This department is very secretive, and there are rumors in the Overseer's Mansion that the department has some kind of treasure that can probe any secrets in the world, but even the insiders know very little about it.
Speaking of this, Xiang Ling's eyes became extraordinarily bright: "Maybe this time we will be able to see and see." ”
Yuan Xing glanced at her speechlessly, and looked at the two men who had gone away with good eyesight, only to find that the uniforms of these two people were the same as Xiang Ling's harmony, but the pattern of the collar badge was a strange beast that looked like a dragon but not a dragon, a tiger instead of a tiger, a dog and a dog with a single horn on its head.
As a disciple of Buddhism, it is natural that it is easy to recognize that it is Di Ting, and I understand the meaning of it better.
It seems that the rumors are true, this Spiegel Division should really have some doorways.
Just thinking about it, Qi Hetong in front of them had already led them to a temporary building made of iron sheets.
"This is our makeshift conference hall." Qi Hetong said with a smile. But before he finished speaking, there was a sound of shouting and scolding and the collision of tables and chairs in the building.
Qi Hetong looked at the two of them with some embarrassment, and muttered to explain: "This, it is full of top figures and senior experts from all walks of life, and there will always be some differences of opinion in this......
