Chapter 139: Patrol Squad
No one knows how this decision was made, and it's hard to say what was in it, but what if you do. Jiang Heng stood up at this time, walked in front of everyone, and only said one sentence: "This is already the case, everyone should prepare well, and we will set off after noon." ”
Chen Xi glanced at him at the same time, it turned out that he had known these things for a long time, and he might even know some of the inside stories, but he just didn't say it. With such a task, I'm afraid that he will be very uncomfortable as a captain, and everything is easy to say when there are benefits, but if something happens, I'm afraid that it will be difficult to bring the team at that time.
A group of people were silent, found a shelter from the wind, and sat down in a scattered manner. The time before departure is not long, and the time of this mission is the same, each team patrols for fifteen days, and there is no need to go back to talk to the family, just hope that nothing happens during the patrol.
Everyone has their own thoughts, and the team is not talking and laughing as usual, but they are all thinking about their own hearts. For such an arrangement, although Fang Yan was also slanderous in his heart, the high-level of the sect's 'gate' had never been considerate of the disciples below, he had seen more cold-blooded things, and he had never had a good impression of the upper echelons of the 'gate' from the fire, and he was not too surprised when such a thing happened, he still sat cross-legged and cultivated as usual, and from time to time took out a piece of grilled flying fish 'meat' slice and nibbled on a few sips, and drank another sip of wine.
Except for the captain Jiang Heng, who is the most calm in several dialects, this makes Xiao Bin a little strange, it stands to reason that the most panicked should be a low-level disciple like Fang Yan, although he has also heard that the combat power of dialects is not low, but in the face of unknown demon beasts, it is difficult for the monk's combat power to be fully exerted. Besides, the dialect doesn't look like a person who often goes deep into this place and is very familiar with demon beasts, but the newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, and it is the kind of stupid and bold that can't be done.
Usually he has a good relationship with Fang Yan, and he doesn't want Fang Yan to die in a daze, so he quietly walked to Fang Yan and specially reminded Fang Yan to be careful when he goes out on patrol later. Fang Yan smiled at him with a sense of 'excitement', no matter what, the people who could still think of reminding him at this time were genuinely concerned about his safety.
Seeing that the dialect looked like it was in its chest, although Xiao Bin didn't know why, he faintly felt that the dialect seemed to be relied on, and he was not the kind of stunned person who didn't know the danger. Then Fang Yan took out a pot of wine and a wine glass, poured a glass for Xiao Bin, and drank the dry food in the snow.
Chen Xi and the others looked at them with an expression of hatred that iron could not be made of steel, but the captain Jiang Heng didn't care, he came over and took out a cup, and Fang Yan quickly poured him a cup. Usually, seeing him sit cross-legged and practice hard, today he suddenly drank with Fang Yan and them, which made everyone feel very weird.
Jiang Heng didn't pay attention to it, just took a few sips to himself, and said to the dialect: "This wine is good." And he said no more, but drank the wine little by little, and the tongues quickly poured it upon him.
Xiao Bin didn't feel anything, laughed, shook his head and drank with Fang Yan, while waiting for the assignment of tasks in the steward's cabinet.
It was already past noon after a few drinks, and at this time a group of people came out of the steward's cabinet, led by several stewards, most of whom were known to the monks stationed here. There were also the disciples of the sect who came here with them at the beginning of the year, and a few of them scolded there without any scruples, but several stewards pretended not to hear it, and loudly announced the task there, marking the patrol time and patrol range of each team.
The patrol area of their squad is a place called Maogongling, which is more than two hundred miles away from the stone fort, where there are few people in normal times, and those who go out to hunt demons do not want to go in that direction, and it is said that the monks of the Earth Fire Palace are patrolling there. This is not the most unlucky, there is also a team divided three or four hundred miles away from here, it is an inaccessible mountain forest, no wonder someone scolded here just now.
Jiang Heng received the task with an expressionless face, and no one could see anything unusual about him at the moment, so he led the team to the stone castle to garrison as usual, said a word and set off, and took the lead in flying, no matter what everyone behind him was thinking, the group immediately hurriedly followed the 'chaos'.
Coming out of the stone castle, Jiang Heng led the team to fly in front, and he didn't fly far and suddenly stopped again. It turned out that he suddenly proposed to form a team, and he took Xiao Bin to fly in front, two sixth-story elderly monks pressed the formation behind, and the remaining four team members were in the middle of the team, and everyone fell into a forest according to his order, and from here they began to walk forward on foot.
Although there were a few people who were puzzled by this request, they also implemented it quickly, and they had to obey the captain's orders when they got outside, and looking at Jiang Heng's meaning, he obviously knew more about this place than everyone else, or he was told something when he received the task, but he still didn't say anything, just asked the team members to carry out the order.
Since the monk could fly with the sword, he was still used to flying in the sky when he went out, and Chen Xi was a little unconvinced by Jiang Heng's request, probably thinking that he was a little too cautious. After all, this place is not too far from the stone fort, even if there is something, you can fly back with a few jumps, and you can't make such a fuss.
Jiang Heng never explained this kind of reaction, sometimes he didn't bother to say anything, just a gesture was done, and he didn't pay attention to other people's thoughts.
The woods in this area are very lush, and although the entire mountain is covered in snow, you can still see the towering trees all over the mountain. Walking in the knee-deep snow, there is a crisp sound of "creaking" under your feet, and you don't know when you can reach Maogongling when you walk all the way in such deep snow.
Jiang Heng didn't seem to be in a hurry at all, he still led everyone all the way in the ice and snow, and from time to time he would stop the team, and then climb up the tree to look around, no one knew why he was doing this so hard. At this time, everyone would gather under the tree, with Xiao Bin on the periphery in charge of guarding, while the others would rest under the tree for a while, which Jiang Heng had already 'handed' over.
A group of people also changed into white clothes, in this snow-covered wasteland, the scope covered by the divine sense was far less than the eye could see, and everyone had no objection to this, just take out a white 'colored' dress from the storage bag and put it on.
All the way down, although there is no mortal climbing ice and snow, but the monks who are used to flying in the sky still feel very uncomfortable, the speed of the whole team is very slow, when it is almost dark, it can only walk dozens of miles, at least more than a hundred miles away from Maogongling, and if you continue like this, I don't know if you can reach it tomorrow.
found a cliff under the mountain, and the group hid in, Bao Gang was about to start a fire, Jiang Heng hurriedly stopped him. Looking at the puzzled eyes of Bao Gang and Chen Xi, Hu Yuanxi came out and explained with a smile that in this icy and snowy place, the cooking smoke caused by the fire is the easiest to attract demon beasts.
Jiang Heng suddenly said: "The most troublesome thing is to 'expose' our whereabouts and let the monks of other sects discover us." "I see, no wonder he asked everyone to carefully cover up his hiding along the way, it turned out that he didn't want people from other sects to find out, did this mission have any purpose, everyone looked at him even more puzzled.
Seeing a pair of looking eyes, Jiang Heng shook his head expressionlessly, and then frowned and said: "I'm afraid that this time it's not the demon beast that we have to guard against, but the monk, you still have fewer unrealistic ideas." ”
In a word, everyone had a solemn face, there were many strange things about this operation, and why did the deacon think that there was a situation here, and he did not hesitate to throw hundreds of disciples to carry out this task. With him stationed here for such a long time, there was no reason not to know what his disciples were thinking, but they still insisted on doing so, which shows that the plot could not be explained by a hunch.
Since the plot is big, then the situation of these people is even worse, I used to think that the primary enemy was the demon beast, but now it seems that there is even more danger. Isn't it said that the 'sects' of the five sects are guarding this place with the same qi and branches, wouldn't it be necessary to be ready to act at any time now, and then it will cause a war of the sect's 'gates', how can these small disciples in the qi cultivation period dare to take on this responsibility.
And listening to Jiang Heng's words just now, he was going for this matter, but I was afraid that several deacons in the sect' would also have 'handed' generations to them, the captains, otherwise it was unlikely that Jiang Heng's 'temperament' would say this. At this time, the dialect had a strange feeling that some of the things that had happened in the eastern part of the entire Nanyue Kingdom, including the city of Hunan, in recent years were likely to be closely related to the changes in the Guardian Mountain, and the various sects and sects that were responsible for guarding them were the first to bear the brunt.
But now, for the sake of a little possible benefit that has not yet been seen, several sects have decided to fight at any cost, and when they face real danger in the future, God knows what unimaginable things will happen. For a while, Fang Yan was full of doubts about this supposedly impregnable fortress, and the five sects with their own hearts could really join forces and protect this fortress at a critical moment.
These things that seemed very distant slowly sketched some lines in Fang Yan's mind, and Fang Yan suddenly had an amazing idea, could it be that the Guardian Mountain that has guarded the South Yue Country for thousands of years will really change greatly, and if that is the case, where will he, the monks of the South Yue Country, go.
In an instant, Fang Yan was frightened into a cold sweat by his own thoughts, and his body couldn't help but feel a 'stirring' spirit, and a kind of fear from the heart rose spontaneously. Just when Fang Yan suddenly fell into an unknown crisis, there was a ** shock and shaking in his soul, and Fang Yan's heart sank suddenly, and the most worrying thing broke out at this moment.
From the outside, the dialect is no different from other people, they all sit quietly on a rock at the bottom of the cliff, but at this moment his eyes look strangely empty. Fang Yan's attention was all on the sea of knowledge, and after this period of recuperation, the demon cultivator became 'spirit' and vigorous again, and he was trying to refine the soul card of the dialect just now, but he was ruthlessly urged by the dialect to refine the demon scripture and forcibly suppressed it.
Fang Yan also tried to refine the 'jade' talisman where the demon cultivator was, but he didn't know if the level of this 'jade' talisman was too high, or if this demon cultivator had used some kind of unique alchemy technique, and he had been helpless against this 'jade' talisman. And this demon cultivator thinks that dialects have nothing to do with him, and he has been very arrogant in recent days, and today he took advantage of his emotional 'waves', and suddenly he was in trouble in the sea of knowledge, and he was almost caught off guard by dialects.
For this henchman who is deeply hidden in the sea of knowledge, Fang Yan has always been troubled, and he has tried everything to no avail, and the protective power of the 'jade' talisman is too strong. And this demon cultivator hiding in it is slightly better than dialects in terms of divine consciousness, if it weren't for the fear of dialects' soul cards, I'm afraid that I would have already made 'waves' in the sea of dialects.
For this demon cultivator who is neither male nor 'female', Fang Yan now hates it to the bone, but this person is both vicious as a wolf, and 'treacherous' and cunning like a ghost is extremely difficult to deal with, usually it seems to be hiding in the 'jade' talisman and doesn't know what to do, once Fang Yan is emotionally unstable and his soul is a little relaxed, he will immediately come out to sneak attack Fang Yan, which makes him very uncomfortable.
Originally, dialect was a trouble, there were many secrets on his body that needed to be guarded carefully, and he had a rich net worth and didn't dare to 'revea' in the slightest, and now he had to add this annoying demon cultivator, and he didn't dare to 'revea' a single bit to others. At this time, at the bottom of this mountain cliff, Fang Yan gradually came back to his senses, and the thrilling scene just now happened in the sea of knowledge, and everyone else was busy recovering at the moment, and no one noticed his abnormality.
When night fell, the sky began to drift goose 'feather' heavy snow, and the bottom of the cliff was even more 'cloudy' and cold, but they couldn't make a fire to keep warm, so everyone had to take out a thick piece of monster 'hair' skin and wrap it tightly around their bodies. Although the monk's physique was different from ordinary people, such a cold and snowy night was still very uncomfortable, and wine became a good thing to ward off the cold.
