11. Guidance under the mountains
“When──when─when──”
The sound of the bell echoed in the silent night.
In the temple complex on the high mountain, as the bells rang, the monks gathered in the temple compound.
"Tonghui, are you really going to do this?" an old monk pondered.
"At dawn tomorrow morning, they will begin to hunt the rising creatures of Taihang. The entire mountain will turn into a purgatory on earth. You will take the disciples who are willing to leave out of Mount Wutai. There will be someone at the foot of the mountain to greet you, as will the people in the mountain." The host chanted the Buddha's name in a low voice.
.
"What about you, Tonghui? Aren't you ready to leave?"
"I'm not leaving, stay here." The host looked at the mountains in the distance and saw the rain had stopped, and the pale full moon, as big as a millstone, hung high in the sky.
That one stopped the rain curtain.
The host knows that this is not a compromise. The tranquility at this moment is a precursor to the coming heavy rain. Tomorrow this place will turn into a sea of flesh and blood. It stops the rain in the mountains and reopens the connection between the outside world and Taihang. It is tacitly letting all living things here.
They can all make choices when disaster strikes.
"Why bother? Why bother?" the host sighed softly.
Whoever puts his attitude too high and is unwilling to bow his head will only be crushed under the wheels of civilization in this world.
"I've actually been wanting to ask, Tonghui, you care about that man in the mountain. Why?" The old monk counted the monks who were willing to leave and turned around to ask.
"Senior brother, when did I become a monk, do you still remember?"
"When...it has been a long time. I remember that I ordained you. At that time, you were still a burly man. I asked you if you had any children at home and why you became a monk." There was a look of nostalgia in the old monk's eyes.
, "I didn't expect that I am going to die of old age, but you are still strong. I'm afraid you can ring the bell ten times a day, which is more than enough, right?"
"Brother, think again." The host smiled.
"I'm still thinking about it, why are you talking about this all of a sudden..." The old monk smiled bitterly and suddenly remembered something. He stared at the host and said, "Tonghui, you experienced that heavy rain, the heavy rain that fell suddenly for three days and three nights.
!”
The host nodded slowly.
"I had a chance encounter with that person."
"You...sigh!" The old monk wanted to say something else, but in the end he could only sigh.
“When──when─when──”
When the bell rings again, most of the monks will leave, leaving only a few here.
"Amitabha, senior brother, see you later."
The host lowered his head and bowed slightly.
The old monk looked at him one last time and said, "Junior brother, take care."
…………
At dawn, piercing sirens echoed in the areas around the Taihang Mountains.
The huge steel blackbirds passed by from high altitude, forming a herringbone queue. The roar caused by the rotation of the wings broke the tranquility deep in the mountains. The high-speed camera hidden under the fuselage transmitted the picture to the distant imperial capital.
This is a closed conference room with dim lights. Only the blue light of the screen is flickering. These faint lights illuminate the dead faces in the conference room.
"The punctuation of the past few days will not damage the media. Just put it boldly and force those beasts out." A hoarse voice sounded in the darkness.
Someone is delivering instructions to the elders in this conference room.
The generals thought they were communicating with headquarters, but they didn't know that the starting point of the instructions came from here.
"Boom──!"
In the depths of the Taihang Mountains, fires rose as the order was issued, brighter than the rising sun.
The pilot is ordered to drop the large incendiary bomb carried on the fuselage to the designated location. In order to drop it accurately, the helicopter pilot will lower the flying altitude. The explosion will cause a sharply expanding air wave, and if the operation is not performed properly, it is likely to be involved in the cyclone.
These are all ace pilots, and these difficulties are easy for them.
"Captain Meerkat calls Meerkat No. 2 to arrange marking points along the road and land satellites at the same time." The man sitting in the back seat of the helicopter picked up the walkie-talkie.
"Mongoose No. 2 received it, Mongoose No. 2 received it."
"The rest of the team will follow the captain and continue deeper."
"Deploy the source column in South Taihang District 6. The headquarters requires a clear view of the terrain. The ground system is ready." The man continued to order.
"Copy that." A voice came back from the headset.
The huge sound was like a mountain cracking, frightening all the birds and beasts, and flocks of birds leaving the woods, awakening something deeper.
"Mongoose 18 has completed its execution and is ready to return to the team...wait! What is that?"
The person in the headset yelled, and at the same time there was the faint sound of gunfire.
"Meerkat 18? Meerkat 18? If you hear it, please answer! If you hear it, please answer it!" The man frowned.
"Captain! Forward!" the pilot shouted, drawing the man's attention to the front.
The man was stunned and couldn't help but murmured, "What the hell is this?"
Through the windshield of the helicopter, you can clearly see the giant pale deer standing on the hilltop not far away. It has its head raised and its body is covered with fine ice crystals. The cold wind blows from that direction, turning the moment into a severe winter.
"Nanzhu, rain." The deer murmured.
Deep in Taihang, Jianzhong Island, old camphor trees. The huge red creature suddenly opened its eyes, as if lava was flowing through its eyes, like a mirror reflecting flames. The big snake raised its head and let out a silent roar, and a breath that had never been seen before came from its body.
It spreads above.
The sky suddenly became gloomy.
Dark clouds came from all directions, gathered, and blocked the sun.
There was a thunderstorm, and branch-shaped lightning looked like a giant dragon flying into the sky, penetrating the earth. The heavy rain came down, and the newly appeared sunlight was swallowed up by the gray. The heavy rain blurred the sky and the earth, and at the same time, there was a kind of pressure on the hearts of all those who entered the mountain.
, as if something had its eyes on them.
Deer feel heavy rain.
Iron hooves stepped on the ground, and all the surrounding raindrops turned into ice crystals. The cold light was overwhelming, covering the helicopter formation with nowhere to escape. The tongues of flame spitting out from the machine guns arrived together with the icy rain.
The picture then becomes dark.
"It seems that Taihang cannot be taken down easily." An old voice sounded.
"We already know the terrain clearly, and ground satellites have locked onto those things. If we continue to cover it with firepower, today's rising creatures will not last long. The time left for them is too short, unlike us, who have accumulated thousands of years to pave the way for today.
."
"Do I need to throw 'Xihe'?"
"It's not urgent, Xi He left that thing. But the old guys have been hiding it for so long, shouldn't it be time to show it out?"
"Zhao Sheng, you have been planning this for a long time." Someone sneered sinisterly.
The old man known as Zhao Sheng smiled and said, "Everyone is familiar with this, so don't hide it. If you take Taihang, this loss will not be a big deal."
"The boys in my family have already brought the mica cauldron and are waiting at the edge of Taihang Mountain." The old man told the arrangement frankly.
"Mica tripod? Zhao Sheng, you really spent a lot of money on it. You don't feel bad if you use this thing once or less?"
"Don't bury me." The old man waved his hand, "I don't believe you really expect those ordinary people to clean up the media. Maybe there are still rising beings that are not dead. They have to be dealt with, right?"
"Okay, now that you're talking openly like this, we won't hold it back."
"Nine rings." said one.
"Pan's Formation Flag." Another voice sounded from the dark corner.
"Thunderbow."
…………
"Withdraw!" the big man shouted.
In front, there is a huge monster entrenched, with red scales opening and closing in layers. Guns and artillery hit it like water hitting a rock, and it is useless. The big man has been fighting for half his life and has never encountered such an outrageous thing.
They were the troops responsible for guarding ground satellites. They were equipped with heavy artillery and three helicopters, as well as a guided missile hidden in a huge device at the rear. Unfortunately, the thing was too close to his men and it was impossible for the controller to fire.
Golden candle burns.
The huge thing meandered at an unbelievable speed. Dozens of metal flying swords followed it, clinging to its scales. Heavy weapons were often blocked by these swords.
At the same time, these ancient swords rose up, harvesting people's lives like a meat grinder.
It was sharp enough to cut people and steel into pieces in an instant. The rain washed away the corpses, mixing with the blood and dyeing the place bright red. Every step you took, you stepped on piles of corpses.
He held his position, waiting for the satellite deployment to be completed, and now the order to retreat was finally given.
"Ha..." The strong man sneered.
Grab the helicopter's climbing ladder, and the remaining soldiers also evacuate.
"Guidance!" he shouted.
"Understood!" The controller's voice was hoarse. He watched his comrades being chopped into pieces by the monster one by one, but he was helpless. Now, cracks appeared in the steel wall, and angry flames followed the long arrow across the sky.
"Go to hell, you beast!"
Chapter completed!
