Chapter 203: Release the Prison Phoenix
Although Zhang Sheng is dead, the task has to continue, and now the only clue is the cult member, speaking of which, the four of them threw down their chopsticks and went straight to Dalian.
Zhang Sheng's two-story building has a big lock hanging on it, and there is a seal on the door, and Li Mingming doesn't know where to go. Wang Sheng's brows furrowed, he originally wanted Li Mingming to interrogate the cult members, but the matter could only be stopped.
The four of them did not take any rest, and went straight to Yongji County, Jilin Province, where the meteorite fell was guarded by the army, and Wang Sheng and the four of them could not get close. According to nearby villagers, researchers rushed to the scene after the meteorite fell, and nothing unusual happened.
The four of them wandered aimlessly around the territory of Yongji County for a day, and there was no progress in the mission. On the twenty-fifth day of the mission, Wang Sheng and the four of them came to the police station to find out the burial place of Zhao Xian's ashes.
The big lock in front of the door of the two-story small building is no longer there, Wang Sheng gently pushed the door open, and a brand-new tablet was placed on the spiritual platform, Wang Sheng gently put the ashes of Zhao Xian next to Zhang Sheng's tablet, and said softly: "You four brothers and sisters are reunited, let the grievances of the world go with the wind......
Li Mingming heard the voice, walked down from upstairs, saw Wang Sheng and the four of them, and knelt on one knee: "Master, ......"
Leng Ai helped Li Mingming up: "We don't have Zhang Sheng's kind of rules, and we don't have to make such a big gift when we see us in the future." ”
Li Mingming's eyes were filled with tears, and he sighed and said: "Although I was sent by the central government to monitor the master, in my heart, he is my master, and I will always remember the master's teachings, and I will not let his old man feel disappointed under the Nine Springs." ”
Wang Sheng gently patted Li Mingming's shoulder as his encouragement. If Zhang Sheng's death can make his apprentice grow, his death is also very valuable.
Leng Ai explained his intentions, and Li Mingming broke out a shocking news, that cult member died strangely and violently on the night of Zhang Sheng's death, and the cause of death was unknown, and the theological committee had not found any clues.
Zhao Sicheng is still looking for his little sister in Taihu Lake, he still doesn't know the news of Zhang Sheng's death, Wan Shan and the old man were taken away by the Ministry of Security, and there has been no news so far.
Wang Sheng and the four were just about to leave, Li Mingming stopped them, he knelt in front of the four, begging them to bring Zhao Sicheng back, seven days later, Zhang Sheng was buried in the soil, he hoped that before Zhang Sheng was buried, Zhao Sicheng could let Zhao Sicheng look at Zhang Sheng again.
The four of them came to Zhejiang and met Zhao Sicheng at the Yongjia County Police Station in Wenzhou City. Zhao Sicheng stood in front of the window with a haggard face, his eyes were dull, his beard was not shaved, he had a cigarette in his mouth, and there were cigarette butts everywhere on the ground, looking sloppy.
The public security police told them that Zhao Sicheng had a deep affection for the little junior sister, even more than his own daughter, and he didn't think about tea and dinner in order to find the little junior sister, and he didn't close his eyes for more than ten consecutive days.
Wang Sheng and the four of them came to Zhao Sicheng, and Zhao Sicheng glanced at them without any expression on his face. Whenever Luo Na's sacrifice day, Zhao Sicheng will lose his memory, and he will naturally not recognize Wang Sheng and them.
Wang Sheng smiled bitterly in his heart, his amnesia may be a good thing, next year today, he will not remember who the little junior sister is, maybe his heart will not be so sad anymore.
The four of them struggled for a long time, and finally told Zhao Sicheng about Zhang Sheng's death, Zhao Sicheng blinked, rolled his eyes, and fainted.
Zhang Sheng's funeral was held in a small two-story building, which was filled with wreaths, and Zhao Sicheng, Wan Shan, and Li Mingming knelt beside Zhang Sheng's coffin, constantly burning paper. The number of people attending the funeral was not very large, but all the people present were important leaders of the country.
Wang Sheng and the four of them watched from a distance, with mixed feelings in their hearts, Zhang Shengsheng was born, the little junior sister was lost, the task was also failed, and even Zhang Sheng's funeral, they didn't dare to participate.
Back on Wasteland Island, Wang Sheng suddenly said: "This matter can't be counted like this, let's take another task, and the task must be related to Mr. Ichimoku Go." ”
Cheng Hao pecked his teeth: "Not necessarily......"
"Have you forgotten? The first time we took the mission, assassinated Zhang Sheng, we failed, the second time we took the task or assassinated Zhang Sheng, today is the time to release the task, let's go, let's pick up the mission. With that, Wang Sheng strode towards the task management office.
Come to the quest machine, the task with the highest number of points is only 1,000 points. Leng Ai picked up the task scroll, revealing a crying and laughing expression.
Wang Sheng took the task scroll, feeling desperate in his heart. Combat Mission: Objective: Rescue the Owl (Xiao) Man, Mission Location: Poville Island, Italy, Mission Duration: 60 Days.
Wang Sheng let out a long sigh of despair and slammed the scroll on the machine.
The bald head touched his shiny head and asked, "What is this owl?"
Wang Sheng was extremely depressed, Cheng Hao and the bald head accompanied him to drink stuffy wine in the restaurant, and more than two hours later, Leng Ai came to the restaurant, he not only found the owl man, but also found the legend of the island of Poville.
Owl: A general term for owls in ancient times, and is now used to name owls of prey, which are nocturnal birds and are widely distributed all over the world except Antarctica.
In the Western apotheosis world, Athena, the goddess of wisdom, had a love bird, which was a little owl, so the ancient Greeks revered the owl as a symbol of Athena and wisdom.
The term Phoenicia is relatively unfamiliar to most people, and it has its roots in the ancient Mediterranean coast, a city-state in southwestern Asia, consisting of city-states on the eastern coast of the Mediterranean, located in Syria and Lebanon. They were heavily influenced by Egyptian culture, so they learned the art of mummifying the remains of the dead into mummies and placing them in humanoid coffins.
In the writings of ancient Greece and Rome, there is a lot of criticism of the Phoenicians: they were harsh and cunning, and they almost sank their ships by exchanging the oil of a ship for untold amounts of silver from the Spaniards; Governors who treated the people like tigers, who were not ashamed to be robbers, openly intercepted ships sailing on the seas, and plundered their belongings, causing fear among the people, and they also sold slaves, and even tricked free men into slavery, such as pushing the boats of the dockers into the vast sea, so that they lost their means of transportation and were forced into slavery.
It is a hated people, it has been forgotten for more than 3,000 years, and the owl is the god of Phoenicia.
Cheng Hao asked, "What do you mean by this?"
Leng Ai smiled: "Owl people, it's not just a legend, they are real. ”
At that time, Europeans used to say that the Atlantic Ocean was the end of the world, and no one could cross the Strait of Gibraltar.
The Egyptian pharaoh Niko wanted to kill the Phoenician majesty, and at the same time wanted to open a route that no one had ever traveled. He summoned some of the best Phoenician navigators to the royal palace and said to them: "I have heard that you often boast that the Phoenicians were the best seafarers, and I have told you to set out from Egypt without turning back once, and that the coast should always sail on the right side until you return to Egypt." If you can't, say it to me now, and I won't punish you. But don't brag about it anymore. If you can do it, I will reward you!"
The Phoenician navigator did not hesitate to accept the challenge of Pharaoh Nico. A few days later, the Phoenician navigator set out for the unknown in three double-decker rowing boats.
After three years of no news, everyone thought that the Phoenicians had fallen into the middle of the sea and fed the sharks, and gradually forgot about it.
Suddenly one day, one of Pharaoh Niko's ministers reported to him that the Phoenicians had returned.
Nicofa was taken aback: "What, they are still alive, let them enter the palace quickly." ”
When the Phoenicians came in, Pharaoh Niko turned his face blank: "Bold Phoenicians, dare to deceive me, tell me, where have you been hiding for the past three years!"
The Phoenicians recounted the three years of their voyage in detail, and then presented Pharaoh Niko with all the treasures they had collected along the way.
From then on, Pharaoh Niko regarded the Phoenicians as a thorn in his side, and sent hundreds of thousands of troops to attack the Phoenicians, and before they reached the territory of the Phoenicians, dozens of owls circled over the Egyptian army, and a terrible plague broke out in the invincible army of Egypt. After the plague, Pharaoh sent hundreds of thousands of troops for the second time, and before he could reach the land of the Phoenicians, the plague broke out again, and tens of thousands of troops were wiped out.
Since then, it has been recorded in the history books of various countries that the arrival of the Phoenician owls in the world often brought terrible disasters and plagues.
Rome's position in the Latin Confederation became more and more important, and the Italian peninsula was gradually unified by Rome. When the Romans took control of all of Italy, they had to compete with the Carthaginians.
The Romans called the Phoenicians "Punic", and Carthage was a Phoenician colony, so the war became a Roman-Phoenician war.
At the beginning of the war, the Romans were forced to surrender and pay a huge war reparation, and then started a second war with the Phoenicians.
In this war, the Phoenician general Hannibal became a crucial figure in the war. He led the owls deep into the Spanish peninsula, the heart of Rome, while the Roman consuls burned the war to Phoenician soil, and Hannibal had to return to North Africa. There, he suffered the only and final defeat of his life. The war directly destroyed the powerful Phoenician army, and the royal city was occupied by the Romans. After the battle between the Romans and the Phoenicians on the island of Poveglia, the Phoenicians disappeared from Eurasia, and the owls never reappeared.
The snoring sound of the bald head sounded, Leng Ai glared at her head viciously, and said unhappily, "Are you listening to me?" ”
Wang Sheng scratched his hair and smiled awkwardly: "You said that these things obviously have nothing to do with the task!"
"Who said it doesn't matter, if you want to find the owl, you must find the descendants of Phoenicia. ”
Cheng Hao asked, "They have all disappeared for three thousand years, where can they be found?"
