Chapter 16 Chapter Forty-Seven

We went all the way to the frontline headquarters, and there were still many people in the hall, more than we had seen before. People in all kinds of clothes were there, presumably they all came to support.Among these people, I accidentally saw Li Tengfei, sitting in a corner with a gloomy face, with an indifference that should not be approached by strangers, and the Demon Slayer was pinned to his waist.At this moment, Li Tengfei no longer has the youthfulness and recklessness he had when he debuted, and has become a truly calm man.As soon as we came in, he looked up and nodded slightly, but he didn't come forward to greet us.I saw the deep sadness in his eyes, and the volcanic anger.In this catastrophe, apart from him and the chief elder Li Zhaoxu who survived the disaster because they were not on Mount Qingcheng, the more than one hundred people from the pavilion master Canghai Taoist all died in this battle.In such an encounter, everyone was not in the mood to greet each other, but nodded heavily to each other, and said nothing more.

Neither Hong Anguo nor Yang Cao was eligible for the meeting, so we stayed in the hall outside, and we were led to a small meeting room next to it.There were seven or eight people inside, and the leader was the cold-faced deputy director of the Southwest Bureau.Most of the people in the small conference room stood up and welcomed our arrival. The cold-faced deputy director also introduced us one by one.These are high-level secret service officers and top experts like us. One of the old monks with a gray beard is Zen Master Dong Biao from Yuantong Temple in Tiangong Mountain, Longyan, Fujian. He is also one of the top ten righteous masters in the world.

After knowing our identities, Zen Master Dongbiao stroked his beard and smiled, saying that he had heard about the reputation of the two young friends, and that he was lucky enough to meet them just now. The status of this old monk is very high, we did not dare to neglect him, we bowed our hands repeatedly to express our thanks. However, although his words were polite, I always felt a neither salty nor bland attitude, not kind.After thinking about it, there are rumors among the younger generation that Zuo Dao has been able to rank among the top ten masters. However, the so-called ranking has always been a carrot and a pit. If someone squeezes in, someone will naturally make it out. Therefore, it is normal for Zen Master Dongbiao to try to test us.

The meeting begins.The news just came from the front that the two teams that went to Gale Peak to investigate lost contact with the frontline headquarters at 8:30 and 9:40 at night respectively. After confirmation by the local comrades, they should have been attacked. Therefore, Qianzhi needs to immediately organize a team of people to investigate at the Dafengding Lost Contact Office in front of them. If they encounter evil spirits, they will be wiped out immediately.At present, the team has been convened, but we need masters to control the field, so we are recruited. Zen Master Dong Biao will go to the bottom of the Jinsha River Valley with the large troops that have gathered one after another tomorrow, because the frontline command has analyzed and calculated that the cultists entrenched there should be the main force for this attack on Qingcheng Mountain. Elder Deng and the rest of the people will also go there.

The cold-faced deputy director asked us if we had any objections to this arrangement. I asked who would be in charge of this operation tonight? The cold-faced deputy director pointed to a middle-aged man with a red face beside him and said: "Lou Chao, the director of the first business department of the Southwest Bureau, is one of the few generals in the Southwest Bureau, and he will be in charge of this operation." Director Lou is in his forties or fifties, with protruding temples and sharp eyes.When we looked over, he stood up, shook hands with us, and then said with a little trepidation: "Originally, you should be in command this time, but because it is mainly a joint operation of the Southwest Bureau and various sects, There are also two squadrons of special forces that need to be coordinated, so..."

Faced with his worries, Zamao Xiaodao and I nodded, saying that the specific things should be done by professionals, and we just need to obey the command, there is no problem with this. Seeing that we did not express dissatisfaction, everyone in the field breathed a sigh of relief.The cold-faced deputy director stood up and announced, "It's urgent and I don't have time to wait, so there is no need to say too much. The first batch of troops has already set off, and now that it has been confirmed, then you go. Remember, you must be safe." Zamao Xiaodao and I left the small conference room, and went straight back to pack up our belongings.It didn't take long before someone came to pick us up. It was a very strong military jeep warrior.In order not to attract attention, I still called Xiao Yao and Dodo into the pagoda, only the little black dog and the tiger cat in the car remained in the car.

There were many people traveling together, and there was a long queue, while Yang Cao, Hong Anguo and Li Tengfei squeezed into our car.When I asked here, I realized that Li Tengfei had just recovered and came from the northwest.The chief elder of their Laojun Pavilion, Li Zhaoxu, that fat old man has already rushed to the front line of the Jinsha River valley. The Dafengding we are going to, spans Meigu County, Leibo County, Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture, and Mabian Yi Autonomous County, Leshan City. The main peak, Moluo Wengjue, is more than 4,000 meters long. The majestic southern sky, overlooking Emei, the terrain is very complicated, and the transportation is not convenient.It was early in the morning when we arrived at the scene of the incident, and more than 200 people had settled in. Because they were well-trained, they would not be in a hurry.

Someone from the vanguard was here to respond. After understanding the situation with these people, Director Lou knew that the outcropping evil spirits had not gone very far, so he decided to leave some personnel here to establish a communication base, while the others went into the mountain on foot. Get those guys out. The personnel were quickly allocated, and Hong Anguo was ordered to stay here. Yang Cao and Li Tengfei went up the mountain with us, and there were more than 20 elites from the Southwest Secret Service Operations Division, and the same number of experts from various factions who came to support us. , In addition, there are fighters from four different special forces, a total of more than 180 people.Director Lou was extremely respectful to us, but he didn't care too much about our thoughts, he just praised us high, but whether it was tracking routes or the distribution of strength, he paid more attention to the opinions of the vanguard, and basically he In terms of words, he showed a capable and strong side.

We walked in the middle of the Soushan team, with special soldiers equipped with night vision equipment on both sides.They have been training and fighting in the mountains and forests all year round, all of them are experts in jungle warfare, and their strength is quite astonishing, not much better than practitioners, and when they are equipped with modern weapons, they are even more impressive than practitioners fear. All reactionaries are paper tigers.Indeed, in front of the state apparatus showing its fangs, practitioners are actually far less powerful than people imagine. It was late autumn, and the old trees on the mountain were luxuriant, densely covered with shadows, withered and broken, and the glory and glory were exhausted. There were ravines, peaks, steep rocks, and clouds.The terrain of the mountain is unpredictable, and the fog is heavy in the middle of the night, so it is very hard to track.

Unknowingly, along the mountain road, I came to a bamboo forest mixed with rocks and cliffs. I listened carefully, and there were many old snakes preparing to hibernate under the forest. Besides, there were some unusual smells. Yang Cao told us that the boundary of Dafengding belongs to the subtropical humid monsoon climate zone, and the species in the area are very rich, and the famous national treasure giant panda is also in it, so there may be such a one here.This was a joke, but Miscellaneous Mao Xiaodao’s face became serious. He looked up for the tiger cat who had left for a while, but he couldn’t find it. He said in a heavy tone: "The clouds are steaming and the clouds are raging, the mother-in-law is whirling, the spotted Mottled... This place is not simple. There is a faint shroud of formation rules, I am afraid there is an ambush!"

There are few lies in the miscellaneous path.Yang Cao immediately rushed to the front, found Director Lou, the commander of the trip, and talked about it.Unexpectedly, Director Lou told Yang Cao that he had been to Daliang Mountain eleven times since he took office, and he had never heard of any formations here. When Yang Cao turned back, his expression was a little bit bad, obviously Director Lou and the rest of the people had said some embarrassing words.From this point of view, Hong Anguo's reminder is not groundless.I looked around, but I didn't feel anything unusual, so I asked Miscellaneous Hairy Xiaodao if he was sure, because everything looked very normal now.Miscellaneous Mao Xiaodao shook his head and said, "No, the feeling here is really bad..." Before the words were finished, our feet suddenly trembled, the sky and the earth boomed, and the mountain walls on both sides collapsed and fell directly.
