Chapter 2 The Mountain of Life
October day, the bowl turns.
Areas that should have been untouched can now be lit up at the foot of the mountains, perhaps because the mountains and forests at night are more regular, a little less warm, and the temperature drops quickly.
The people of the small village stood on the dirt road in the village with a little curiosity, watching the people walking into the mountains and forests, and the villages here have taboos about the mountains: the sunset does not enter the mountains, and the sunrise mountains are checked. The villagers will return to the house at sunset, and the people who hunt from the mountains will also rush out of the mountains before sunset, and when the sun rises, the old hunter will judge whether they can go out to hunt today according to the mountain conditions, if the mountain forest is foggy, it means that there is no result today, the old hunter will put down the hunting equipment and go to the ground to work together, and if the mountain forest is foggy, the old hunter will step into the deep forest after praying for peace.
At the entrance of the village, a one-eyed hunter looked at the people who were gradually moving into the mountain, and couldn't help but sneer: "These things that don't listen to persuasion will get the price they deserve later, and that lord won't let them go!" ”
He was not kind to these people, and in the evening, this group of people drove here, as if they were looking for something, and the people of the village persuaded them to see if they could enter the mountain tomorrow, but they insisted on going their own way, and these behaviors were seen by the one-eyed old hunter, and he still had one eye that was not blind, and he could see at a glance that these people were not good people, so he kept silent and watched these people enter the mountain.
"Will they retaliate against us?" Some villagers feel afraid, this is not a joke, what if someone dies and the village is implicated?
"What are you afraid of, this is originally the edge of the security realm, isn't it normal for something to happen? What's more, whoever has nothing to do here, it is estimated that there is something in the forest. The one-eyed old hunter pursed his lips as if he didn't care.
As the night gradually deepened, the people in the village also entered the rest one after another, and in the high autumn, there was no cicada, only a chill swept from the mountains and forests......
At this time, Tianyin City, thousands of lights are on.
He Qixuan, who changed his clothes, completely integrated into this city at this moment, Tianyin City is located in the easternmost part of this continent, an important hub of the sea and the road, after the baptism of the years, it has become one of the few super-level cities in the security realm, and the super-level city also means that it is impossible for this place to be eroded by the outside world.
The two walked through the traffic, He Qixuan let the middle-aged man in front of him, who looked extraordinary in both clothing and appearance, lead him to wherever he went, and the only thing he could believe here at this moment was the person in front of him.
Came to a basement restaurant, sitting in the far corner, the middle-aged man took off his black windbreaker, and after ordering the meal, his eyes focused on He Qixuan.
"It's been a long time since I've seen you, and now you're as tall as me."
The love and nostalgia in the eyes of the middle-aged man made He Qixuan not know how to answer for a while, since he can remember, this middle-aged man's face is the first time he has seen it, and he has only come to Tianyin City a handful of times, which makes He Qixuan a little embarrassed, and the middle-aged man saw He Qixuan's subtle expression and suddenly smiled: "You were still very young at that time, and you couldn't reach my knees when you jumped, so it's normal to remember clearly." I am your father's colleague and brother, my surname is Tang, my name is Song Zhi, you can call me Uncle Tang," Tang Song Zhi paused slightly, and then the words changed, "Then, you should also tell me what your father has done now, why has he been like evaporating from the world all these years, and he has not been able to contact him?" ”
He Qixuan had mixed feelings in his heart, and said with a wry smile: "Uncle Tang, I can't tell you this yet." ”
"Why?"
"This is what my father said, and he said that what you told you, this thing would probably fail."
"Fuck it!" When the middle-aged man surnamed Tang heard this, he was instantly anxious, and his thick hand slapped on the dining table covered with a thin cloth, so that the tableware on the table shook a few times, and after suddenly discovering that his behavior was wrong, he coughed a few times, and only after adjusting his emotions did he lower his voice and said: "You can be regarded as your father's appearance, your father is like this, every time he says that it will hurt me, I can't pry any information every time I knock on the side, even if he has an accident one day, no one will collect his body!" ”
Hearing this, the light in He Qixuan's eyes suddenly dimmed, and he suddenly remembered his reluctance before entering the dormant warehouse, which was one of the few tenderness he gave to himself with his eyes.
"Uncle Tang, my father is ...... I can't come back for a while. ”
The two of them fell into silence when they spoke, and when they talked about this, a tingling sensation hit He Qixuan's mind, stimulating his memory and nasal cavity, and the sour feeling entered his eyes, he could only keep a smile to make himself look quite stable, he knew that the person in front of him must have seen something, but he himself was convinced of what he said.
What he needs now is a new life.
"Hmm." The middle-aged man surnamed Tang looked at He Qixuan at the moment, as if he was not looking at him, and after a long time, he silently lit a cigarette and took a puff, his expression was extremely annoyed: "I can see that you are the same as your father, carved out of a mold, and you can't look at you with normal thinking...... Anyway, since your father said that, I won't ask any more, he must have known that I would do it...... Eat, and then I'll just do what your father says." By the way, you'll have to come with me to the Ann Boundary Society tomorrow, and you don't have proof of identity yet. ”
He Qixuan nodded, the security realm, he is not the first time to hear this word, since the establishment of the security realm, there will be an security boundary within each security realm, the most common work of this association is to register everyone's information, control the out-of-control personnel, and prevent the gray realm from expanding to the security realm, this is the most basic work to ensure people's survival, the security sector will be divided into three types: black, white and gray, white is a safe area, and it is also a place where human beings can reside, gray is generally uninhabited and there is a certain risk, and the black area, It's an extremely dangerous place.
But as time passed, the security sector found that the black area would expand and even erode in the direction of the security boundary, so they began to take measures against the gray area to prevent the destruction of human settlements, a small number of people felt that this stratification was a big fuss, but most people understood their approach, and the security of the security sector also made it rise around the world, and now it has become a pillar of heaven independent of various forces.
And the man surnamed Tang in front of him, Tang Song Zhi, is also a member of the Anjie Association.
In the early morning of the next day, the two of them rushed to the Tianyin City Security Association, and the procedures were extremely smooth, so smooth that He Qixuan felt a little unreal, but he just cooperated with a full inspection, and after the full inspection, there was no matter for him, and the identity information had been registered in the system of the Security Association, so he didn't need to worry about the next things.
What he needs to worry about now is how to go on the road in the future, his life is not quite the same as others, the pressure that he should not and is unwilling to bear makes him fade away from the immaturity that he should have in this period, which also makes him still stay on the face of the immaturity and maturity in his heart is incompatible, he now has a general goal, although Tang Song Zhi is his father's best friend, but He Qixuan does not want to stay here for a long time to trouble Tang Song Zhi, he looked at the peace outside the car, and said: "Uncle Tang, I am going to go to Tianjing City to go around, Wait until the middle of next year to try your luck at the Tianjing Academy. ”
Tang Songzhi glanced at him through the rearview mirror, and was silent for a while before he spoke: "I'll buy you a ticket after the identity certificate comes down, and I'll take you to prepare for the next two days." ”
"Thank you."
"Thank you for what I've done, you are He Su's guy's blight, of course I have to help him take care of it, otherwise I won't be able to deal with him at that time." Tianjing Academy...... It's a nostalgic name, but your father and I graduated from the Tianjing Academy together. Tang Song Zhi smiled lightly, and after finishing speaking, he stopped talking, but his smile did not decrease, as if he was frozen. He Qixuan looked at the neon flashes on the streets, and was a little disappointed.
This is the Hidden City, where people can walk freely on the warm streets, because danger does not erode here.
At the same time, to the north of Tianyin City, on the edge of the security boundary.
The disappearance of personnel for two consecutive days has made the organization that has entered the deep mountains a little anxious, this is not the first time they have failed, since that day, this mountain has been foggy, and the majestic clouds and mist have wrapped the entire mountain into it, even the surrounding villagers who have lived here for a long time do not know what is going on, seeing the appearance of those villagers who don't know what to do, the leader of this organization is eager to send them all to the water prison to serve capital punishment!
"The experimenter was about 200 meters away and the signal was interrupted for unknown reasons."
Again, this kind of news made them all a little numb, I don't know how many people entered, without exception, they all lost contact, the leader felt a little shaken at this time, whether it was the previous crusade, or facing those things, he was not afraid, but this time, he didn't see what was going on, but the inexplicable fear that welled up from his heart made him look away in front of the thick fog.
He didn't want to leave, and after thinking about it for a long time in front of the fog, the team leader turned his head to look at the group behind him, and said coldly: "In a quarter of an hour, all the personnel of the Wuqi Nine Team will break through this ghost fog for me to enter!" ”
"Yes!"
After that, the team leader glanced at the villagers not far away, they were concentrated in a special place, the team leader walked over, dragged up a hunter who seemed to be very experienced, and said lightly: "Since you regard this mountain as a mountain, then you, as a hunter, must be more familiar with the road on the mountain, in fact, I have a reluctant request......
"That's what you told the hunters?" The one-eyed old hunter didn't look at him, but turned his head to look at the mist-obscured mountains in front of him.
The corners of the leader's mouth widened, and he shook his head with a smile: "Hmm...... Not exactly, some people do it voluntarily, like the guy who said that this mountain is a mountain of life. ”
"Aren't you afraid that I'll lead you astray? I'm a road idiot. ”
"I didn't know you very well at first, but with the warmth of your villagers, I have great expectations for you. Besides, I noticed you when I came here, and your playful disguise can fool them, but it can't fool me, and you don't want to be stuck here forever, do you? ”
The one-eyed hunter's eyes narrowed slightly, and his dangerous gaze paced over the leader.
The Cyclops Hunter withdrew his gaze and looked a little uncertain: "Why should I trust you, and besides, you will believe me?" ”
"I can give you anything you want, and even let you shine in the public eye, just like the genius boy who was praised to the altar, do you know that his talent is not even as good as some ordinary abilities, his natural breath is very weak, but he can still be noticed by the world, and we have strength that you can't even imagine, wealth, power and resources, everything. We have clear rewards and punishments, as long as you obediently obey us, you can have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life, and even leave your name in the annals of history, and why do I believe you, of course I have to believe you, otherwise how can we enter the mountain? ”
Looking at the harmless eyes of the leader in front of him, the one-eyed hunter nodded slowly.
"Yes, I promise you."
The leader looked at the one-eyed hunter walking towards the mountain, and the smile on his lips was even worse.
