The deputy director already vaguely believed all this, and he was eager to learn more about this mysterious team. However, Bai Wenzheng declined his invitation: "Thank you Deputy Director for your kindness, but our task is not over yet, and we need to rush to the next place. The follow-up work will be hard on you, and please read it in tomorrow's newspaper Give a reasonable explanation to appease the crowd's emotions."
After saying that, Bai Wenzheng turned around and left with the team members, leaving behind everyone in the cemetery who was meditating.
After leaving these words, Bai Wenzheng led the team members to resolutely turn around and embark on the road leaving the cemetery. The deputy director stared at their retreating figures, sighed involuntarily, and said to Ren Guoran beside him: "Old Ren, do you feel it? This 788 exploration team is far deeper than we imagined. Test.”
Ren Guoran pondered for a moment and nodded, with a flash of thought in his eyes: "Indeed, but those claims about the world in the painting and the Japanese ghost soldiers are still too bizarre and unbelievable." Lin Feng also nodded in agreement, This kind of thing had a huge impact on their inherent world view and was difficult to accept.
At this moment, a gust of breeze blew by, bringing with it the sound of the team members talking. "Captain, what are we going to do next?" "Don't forget what Senior Mo Wufeng told us. We must quickly go to the Kongtong Sect to borrow the Qibao Daolu Pagoda, and then take our senior back to the Kunlun Military Region to resume his duties." "Go now? This is not the case. What a mess!" A strong Northeastern accent suddenly sounded, that was the voice of a big black dog.
When the three deputy directors heard this, they were stunned and looked at each other with astonishment in their eyes. "Did I hear you right? That big black dog...it can actually talk!"
After leaving the Heroes Cemetery, the team members took military vehicles and headed straight to Kongtong Mountain. The Dragon Vein incident around Luding Bridge has been resolved, and their only mission now is to go to the Kongtong Sect.
"Is the Kongtong Sect really on Kongtong Mountain? What will it look like there? Is there a peerless ancestor sitting in command like in the legend?" Zhuge Qing asked curiously. But Fatty Wang curled his lips and said disdainfully: "How is it possible? If this kind of sect has been passed down to this day, it has probably declined long ago, and there is no prestige left. Maybe there will only be an empty shell left, the monks They have no real ability.”
Zhuge Qing looked at Fatty Wang in confusion: "How do you know? Have you ever interacted with the Kongtong sect before?" The fat man shook his head and said confidently: "Is there any need to ask? You can figure it out with your brain. If these sects really had experts in charge, how could they be like this?”
At this time, Chen Tian spoke: "Although the fat man said it vulgarly, the truth is this. Take the Wudang Sect for example, it was once a famous sect, but now it is hiding in the mountains and not letting outsiders get close. ?" He sighed, his tone filled with emotion. He sighed, "Today's sects are almost like this. The world has changed and they are not allowed to be as public as before. Moreover, now is the end of the Dharma era, and there are few opportunities for practice. The monks in the sect have limited strength and cannot restore the glory of the sect."
Along the way, the team members were full of curiosity and discussion about the Kongtong Sect. In their minds, the concept of sect is too ancient, and now they are about to set foot on Kongtong Mountain to search for magic weapons in this so-called sect. It is incredible to think about it.
The military vehicle slowly stopped at the foot of Kongtong Mountain. The team members couldn't wait to get out of the car, but soon they frowned: "It's strange, there is obviously the smell of dragon veins here, but why can't they find the specific location?" They walked into Kongtong with doubts. Dongshan.
"It stands to reason that it shouldn't be. We have all received special training and are very sensitive to the breath of dragon veins. We should be able to find it as soon as we get off the car. But now, this feels too strange." Aning looked at the team members in confusion.
"Maybe the terrain here is quite special, so there shouldn't be any big problem. The most important thing for us now is to go to the Kongtong Sect to understand the situation and lend the Seven Treasures Taoist Ruins Pagoda that Senior Mo Wufeng needs." The team members nodded one after another and followed Bai. Wen Zheng is heading into the mountains.
Kongtong Mountain has beautiful scenery and quiet environment. Because it has not been fully developed, it retains the most original natural scenery. The ancient trees are towering, and wild animals shuttle between them from time to time. Birds chirp one after another. The sound of the breeze blowing through the leaves is like the music of nature, welcoming the team members.
As they continued to go deeper, the height of Kongtong Mountain gradually increased. Vaguely, they saw a Taoist-like building standing in the mountains, but it was different. "That must be the Kongtong sect there, right? Why are there so many people?"
"Look over there, it should be the Kongtong sect, right? Why are there so many people?" Zhuge Qing looked at the long queue in the distance with a confused look on his face.
Wang Ye, as a well-informed person, analyzed at this moment: "These people should be pilgrims coming from afar. They believe that only by traveling through mountains and rivers in person and sincerely burning a stick of incense can what they ask for be achieved. It should be just a borrowing here. An ordinary Taoist temple was built based on the reputation of the Kongtong Sect. The real Kongtong Sect should be hidden in the deeper mountains and forests, where there may be no way out. ”
After listening to Wang Ye's analysis, the team members all nodded in agreement.
Bai Wenzheng also led the team members to the place where the crowd gathered. Everyone was holding incense in their hands and praying devoutly for their wishes. What's more, the scene of people kneeling and worshiping from the foot of the mountain all the way up the mountain is very moving.
Seeing this scene, Chen Tian couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "People in the world always pray to the gods to fulfill their wishes, but the gods often warn us to let go of our obsessions. Countless people burn incense, worship Buddha, and pray to all directions for the persistence in their hearts. But there are How many people have lost themselves in this incense and sunk into the mortal world. ”
In comparison, Fatty Wang was not so artistic. He smiled and murmured in a low voice: "What on earth do these people think? They come all the way just to burn incense. So many people pray for this and that every day. , if it works, then the gods must be too tired.”
After Zhuge Qing heard this, he couldn't help but look at the fat man with disdain: "From what you say, don't you have nothing to pray for?"
The fat man nodded solemnly: "Of course, but I only want money, and I prefer to earn it with my own hands."
As he said that, the fat man reached into his arms proudly, wanting to take out the gold jug and show it off. However, when the golden flagon was exposed to the sun, it instantly turned into a puddle of mud. The fat man was stunned, his eyes filled with astonishment.
"What...what's going on? Where's my hip flask? I'm still trying to make a fortune with it!"
When the team members saw this scene, they immediately understood the reason. Everything in the secret realm is illusory, and the world in the painting is no exception. These things may come true in the world of paintings, but once they return to the real world, they are all in vain.
Zhuge Qing saw this and laughed proudly: "Look, this is retribution, making you blaspheme. Be careful and you will become a puddle of mud in a while."
The fat man was on the verge of crying, looking at the mud left in his hands with reluctance in his eyes. He originally planned to sell the gold jug when he went out, so that he could enjoy endless prosperity and wealth from then on. Who would have thought that this would be just an empty joy.
Although the team members sympathized with the fat man, they did not stop too much and continued to move forward. Although Fatty was unwilling to do so, he could only accept this cruel fact. He deeply realized that it is human nature to be confused when seeing color and to be obsessed with money. But now that everything was in vain, looking back, he gradually understood the reason. The entire world in the painting is false, so why would he believe that this gold jug is real? After all, he was blinded by his own greed.
The fat man sighed, wiped the mud off his hands, and followed the team. This is also one of his strengths, he can think about everything. Although I felt a little pity in my heart, once I figured it out, I no longer struggled with it.
As the team members gradually went deeper into the mountains and forests, the road became more and more difficult. There are overgrown weeds all around and there are no existing roads to follow. The team members could only fumble forward one step at a time.
However, they never saw any buildings along the way. The further they walked, the more unsure the team members became. "We must have gone the wrong way, right? Why haven't we seen any buildings except the Taoist temple before? Is the Kongtong Sect really here?" Zhuge Qing looked around blankly and saw only lush woods. But there was no trace of any man-made construction.
At this moment, the big black dog's voice suddenly rang in everyone's ears: "I smell someone's breath." Before he finished speaking, the big black dog quickly ran into the woods like a bolt of lightning. The team members saw this and followed closely.
However, as soon as the big black dog took a few steps, he mysteriously disappeared under the gaze of the team members. This scene shocked everyone, looking at each other at a loss.
Chen Tian frowned and quickly made a hand seal. After sensing it for a moment, he said solemnly: "There are residual auras of the formation here. We may have been deceived by a blind method."
With that said, Wang Ye slowly walked towards the place where the big black dog disappeared, stretched out a hand and cautiously reached forward. In an instant, Chen Tian's hands disappeared as if they had been swallowed up, but when he took a step back, his hands appeared intact in front of everyone.
A flash of enlightenment flashed in Chen Tian's eyes: "As I expected, a powerful formation has been set up here to isolate us from the real world. What we see is just an illusory scene in the formation. The real The Kongtong Sect should be hidden in this formation.”
After hearing this, the team members looked at each other and nodded in agreement. Immediately afterwards, Chen Tian took the lead, strode forward, and soon disappeared from everyone's sight.
Please...you...Collect_6Ⅰ9ⅠBookⅠ(Six\\\Nine\\\Book\\\!)
When the team members saw this, they no longer hesitated and followed closely. As they passed through the twisted space, their eyes suddenly opened up, and a magnificent building came into view.
This place is very similar to the Jindan Sect that Mo Wufeng created in the secret realm before. In the main hall, the statues of Taoist ancestors are solemnly enshrined on the altar.
Chen Tian just glanced at it and recognized the identity of the statue: "This is Fei Hongzi, the founder of the Kongtong Sect. We have found the right place."
The team members looked around curiously and saw a spacious martial arts performance stage in front of the main entrance of Kongtong Sect. There are eight stone pillars standing on the martial arts stage, each of which is carved with lifelike humanoid patterns. Some are holding double knives, some are waving sticks, some are in a horse stance with clenched fists, and some are sitting quietly in the lotus position.
The fat man looked dumbfounded, as if Grandma Liu had entered the Grand View Garden: "What are carved on these pillars, can't they be the secret skills of the Kongtong Sect? If I can learn a few tricks, can I also establish my own sect after I go out?"
Chen Tian smiled and shook his head: "In this era, independent sects are no longer allowed to exist. The survival of these sects depends on their profound historical heritage. Engraved on the stone pillars are the essence of martial arts of each sect. Kongtong The sect is an independent sect founded by Fei Hongzi based on Taoism and combining the strengths of various schools.”
The fat man's eyes widened: "Isn't this stealing lessons? In ancient times, this kind of behavior would be despised."
Chen Tian explained: "What you say makes sense. But Feihongzi can combine the strengths of various schools and create the unique martial arts of the Kongtong sect. This is also his ability. Even if he borrows or steals it, so what? But this is all in the past . For the current Kongtong Sect, these things are more a symbol of their past glory and have no practical use. It is estimated that there are not many real practitioners left in the Kongtong Sect."
As soon as he finished speaking, a burst of chaotic footsteps suddenly came from all around. Immediately afterwards, a group of Kongtong monks dressed in white surrounded them with long swords, making the team members feel as if they had traveled back a hundred years.
"Who is this person? Trespassing on the Kongtong Sect!" One of the leading disciples looked at the crowd warily, his eyes full of doubts.
For many years, the Kongtong Sect has relied on the protection of the formation, and no outsiders have ever broken in. If you weren't a monk, you wouldn't be able to sense the existence of the guardian formation, let alone enter it. The people in front of them were wearing different clothes, including military uniforms, regular clothes, and Taoist robes, making it difficult for the disciples to determine where they were coming from.
Chen Tian looked at the disciples who gathered around him and was quite surprised: "It seems that the Kongtong sect is not as declining as we thought. These disciples all have a certain level of cultivation, and practicing escaping from the world does have its benefits. In the age of the end of Dharma, Kongtong sect It is not easy for Pai to retain such a heritage.”
Bai Wenzheng nodded slightly, and then said to the leading disciple: "We are the 788 exploration team of the Kunlun Military Region. We have something urgent to ask to see your leader, your leader."
After saying that, Bai Wenzheng felt that the wording was a bit inappropriate, so he added: "We are an official organization. When we come to handle the case this time, the Kongtong faction must cooperate."
However, the disciple had a tough attitude: "You want to see the leader of the Kongtong sect without permission? What kind of place do we think we are here?"
The team members were dissatisfied after hearing this, but Bai Wenzheng remained calm: "Don't blame those who don't know. We can forgive your rudeness. But now, please take us to see your leader immediately. Although the Kongtong Sect has its own According to the rules, you are also a Chinese non-governmental organization, and the Kongtong faction must cooperate with the 788 exploration team.”
Bai Wenzheng had no intention of being tough, but the other party's rudeness forced him to be tough. At this moment, a voice exploded in the void like thunder: "Tianlin, bring them to see me." (End of Chapter)
