Chapter 4: Two Cranes

The sudden words broke the awkward atmosphere in the room, but Chen Ling always felt a little strange when he heard it, his cheeks were inexplicably hot, and he still lowered his head slightly and did not answer.

Yuan Fan was dumbfounded, and regretted it after speaking, the lonely man and widow spent the same room, and asked the other party to wash up first, this kind of thing was too embarrassing and awkward to say to a woman in the gym, and this situation was extremely inappropriate.

Yuan Fan thought for a while, and said with a sneer: "Ling'er, why don't we go out for a walk together first?" ”

"Well, that's what I thought, too." Chen Lingqingli came out of the dust, slowly raised his head, his face was already blushing, and he glanced at Yuan Fan with some complaint, then got up and walked out of the door.

When Yuan Fan saw this scene, he was stunned, shook his head bitterly, and walked out.

At this moment, Heming Mountain was shrouded in endless darkness, and the stars were shining brightly from the cold depths of the universe. The bright moon has also been hung high, and the faint light is sprinkled on the green mountains and ancient trees of Heming Mountain, and there is a breeze blowing, and the swaying branches rustle, showing the mystery and simplicity.

On the winding mountain path of the Taoist Hall, Yuan Fan and Chen Ling walked slowly side by side. The red lanterns hanging from the ancient buildings illuminated the way for the two of them, and the two figures were stretched by the lights to shine on the ground, like a pair of fairy couples, leaving their mark on this holy place of preaching.

The night breeze blew, and the previous embarrassment in the guest room had long since disappeared, Yuan Fan smiled lightly and whispered softly, "Ling'er, do you have any plans in the future?" ”

"I haven't thought about it yet, I've experienced those unpleasant things, and I'd rather stay here now." Chen Ling is full of tenderness, whispering, pink clothes are wonderful, bursts of fragrance float out, walking on the ancient road of crane song, it seems to be a fairy who is about to take the crane away, almost perfect.

"It's good here, the land of abundance belongs to a slow-paced life, people can't help but stop and watch the beauty, there won't be so much pressure...."

"Well, maybe, the world is impermanent, and many things are not decided by you and me..."

The two walked side by side, with strong affection, and spoke softly, as if they were afraid of disturbing the immortals who lived in the gym.

In the secluded and dense mountain forest, night insects chirp from time to time, and mountain birds fly high. I don't know how long they walked, and when they were a little sleepy and about to go back to rest, they suddenly heard a few thick conversations from the mountains and forests on the side.

"Boss, I inquired, Niu Bi, who lives in the gym, went out early this morning."

"It's numb, didn't you say it earlier, the brothers have been hiding in the woods for so long."

"Oh, boss, what are you doing with me, it's the news that the third child inquired about......"

Yuan Fan and Chen Ling glanced at each other, and the two stopped talking very tacitly, and quietly walked over, wanting to find out.

In the dim mountain forest, under the faint moonlight, I saw five figures in large bags and small bags, sneakily rushing to the depths of the mountain forest.

"Why are these five people carrying shovels and some long objects that look like shovels?" In the secluded and mysterious mountain forest, the moonlight was sprinkled, and when the five people disappeared and disappeared into the depths of the mountain forest, Yuan Fan slowly spoke, he always felt that the five people were uneasy and kind, and their whereabouts were strange.

Chen Lingzhi didn't think about it so much, looked at the depths of the deep mountain forest, and subconsciously said: "Maybe it's the staff of Heming Mountain, no matter how much, let's go back." ”

Yuan Fan was silent, his eyebrows furrowed slightly, recalling the backs of the five people he had just seen, he felt that no matter how he looked at it, he looked a bit like a tomb robber, and for the sake of safety, he decided to call the police.

Heming Mountain has a long history and is full of mystery, the mountains and forests are dense, the ancient trees are towering, since ancient times, there are many sages or ancient dignitaries who live in seclusion here, it is impossible to say that there is no ancient tomb in this mountain.

This is the birthplace of Taoism, and naturally no one will come here to rob tombs in normal times. Because there are many myths and legends here, in the name of believing that they have something but not trusting, even real tomb robbers do not dare to come to dig up the tomb and take the treasure of the dead.

However, there are also some outlaws who have committed the most heinous crimes.

"Hey, it's strange, there is obviously a signal tower installed on this mountain, and there is usually a signal, why is there no today." Feeling out the phone he was carrying, Yuan Fan, who was about to call the police, fell into confusion and found that the small grid showing the signal on the mobile phone screen turned gray, and the signal was displayed as zero at the moment.

"Mine is gone, too." Chen Ling also took out his mobile phone and looked at it, and said with some surprise.

The two know very well that in today's rapid development of science and technology, even some distant mountains and old forests will have mobile phone signals, but today is very strange.

Yuan Fan and Chen Ling glanced at each other, seeing the incomprehension and a trace of panic in each other's eyes. The night wind blew, and something strange happened in the gym, which made the two of them feel a little frightened when they felt a little frightened.

"Woo ......"

At this moment, two crane chirps came from the depths of the mountain forest, where seclusion and mystery coexisted, and then the crane chirping gradually became louder, shaking the ancient trees and waking up the sleeping tourists.

"It's .... The chirping of cranes! ”

The sudden change in the field caught them off guard, which made Yuan Fan and Chen Ling tremble, and their pupils contracted sharply, and they saw an incredible picture.

The starlight is sprinkled, the ancient branches illuminated by the bright moon fluorescence, there are two huge birds rising to the sky, the white feathers spread their wings, the divine brilliance is shining, the feet are slender and there are scales such as gold plate inlay, the golden light is sparkling, the Taoist fairy light illuminates the dark night sky, it is magical.

Two white-feathered birds hovered over the mountain, and the cries containing Dao Yun were endless, which was very pleasant to the ear.

At this moment, the ancient bell in the gym also rang with the bang, as if it was resonating. Those tourists who were awakened came out of the door to watch, and when they saw the two white-feathered birds soaring in the air, their expressions froze, and they looked at each other in amazement, with joy and excitement, doubts, and panic and uneasiness.

It was actually the legendary crane, no different from the ancient books, with white feathers fluttering and golden light, like an immortal descending into the world, which deeply attracted everyone's attention.

Cranes, the existence of myths and legends, are usually accompanied by immortals, although many ancient books have recorded, but no one has seen it with their own eyes, full of endless colors.

In Heming Mountain, there are old people who say by mouth, if you see the crane, you will not be sick for the rest of your life, if you are lucky enough to get a piece of crane white feathers, since then the official road is unimpeded, and the cause will be successful.

The tourists in front of the guest room were shocked and held their breath. Everyone remembered all kinds of beautiful legends about cranes and Heming Mountain.

After a short silence, everyone showed excitement and was completely boiling, feeling that they were favored by the immortals, and they rushed out of the hall and ran towards the mountain forest where the two cranes were located.

This is a shocking picture, two white-feathered giant cranes hovering in the dark night sky, the crane chirps continuously, the sound of the Tao is continuous, under the glow of the stars and the bright moon, such as the presence of the immortals, it seems so fascinating.

"Immortal ..... The crane, the legendary crane, if I get its wings, I will soar into the sky and have a successful career..."

"With the wings of the crane, I will definitely be able to cure the cancer cells in my body....."

"Your uncle, the one who stepped on my foot ....."

"Get out of the way, the crane is mine!"

Cheers, noises, shouts of excitement, exclamations of excitement, for a while, the figures and voices of the crowd filled the entire ancient forest.

Seeing more than 30 people passing in front of them and rushing into the forest, Yuan Fan and Chen Ling were stunned, and the two of them were at a loss for a while.

Regarding the various legends of the crane, Yuan Fan has read strange books, and naturally knows that he will not believe in those beautiful stories.

But at the moment, he was most worried that the tourists would encounter the five men who entered the forest first. Those five people had ill intentions, carrying shovels and shovels, and I am afraid that they were really vicious tomb robbers.

"Ling'er, let's go, let's go and have a look." There is no signal on the mobile phone, and there is no way to notify the police, so Yuan Fan plans to follow the tourists in to find out.

"There won't be any danger." Chen Ling asked with some concern.

The crane has always been a myth and legend, and its sudden appearance today seems to indicate that something big will happen.

"It's okay, there are so many people, even if those five people are tomb robbers, they don't dare to mess around, just follow me." Yuan Fan said, subconsciously holding Chen Ling's slender jade hand.

The soft touch stimulated Yuan Fan's sensory nerves, and sweat flowed out of his palm, and he turned his head to look at Chen Ling in embarrassment, and was about to let go of her hand.

"I'm with you!" Chen Ling smiled slightly, the famous flower was charming, with a shy face, this time she did not bow her head, her eyes were full of tenderness, she held Yuan Fan's hand tightly, and she did not want to let go.

"Okay, together!" Yuan Fan whispered, nodded sincerely, and led Chen Ling to the forest.

The ancient forest is secluded, fluorescent, since the cranes began to circle and fly, the night insects dare not chirp anymore, the birds have disappeared, the whole mountain forest has fallen into a mysterious color, as if returning to the ancient times.

At this moment, in addition to the constantly reverberating cranes, only the excited screams of tourists remained.

"It's strange how you can't see those tourists as soon as you come in."

The moon was unusually bright tonight, and even when you entered the forest for 100 meters, you could clearly see a lot of ferns, bushes, and some small saplings when you looked around. However, what puzzled Yuan Fan and Chen Ling was that they did not see a single tourist.

Only the sound is heard, but the shadow is not seen.

The two walked a hundred meters further, but they still didn't see a single tourist!

In the lush mountain forest, except for the echo of cranes, this time even the cheers of tourists could not be heard.

"Ling'er, let's go, let's go back." Yuan Fan felt uneasy in his heart.

The time before and after the thirty or so tourists entered the forest was only two or three minutes, and even the 100-meter sprint champion could not have disappeared in front of him in such a short time.

"What are those?"

The two were about to turn around and go back, and at this moment, Chen Ling saw an incredible picture.

In the echo of the crane's chirping, there was a fog, and the mist slowly spread like milk juice. Everywhere you go, the plants and trees grow wildly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the most peculiar thing is that the plants and trees are all with a beautiful luster, clear and enchanting.

"Whew!"

At the same time, the sound of swords resounded at the same time, and the sound of the Tao was lingering and earth-shattering, and then the ground began to tremble violently, and ancient and mysterious words and patterns began to appear on the roots and branches of those plants and trees.
