Chapter 233 The disappeared mountain village with dense locust trees
This was somewhat beyond Lin Mo's expectations.
Judging from Ma Chao's expression, you can tell that he must know what he wants to do.
Before leaving, Ma Chao patted Lin Mo's shoulder earnestly and said: "Xiao Lin, to be honest, I actually want to go with you, but as the leader of the inspection team, I cannot leave my post without permission. Even if I want to go, The bureau will not approve it."
Lin Mo knew that this was not Ma Chao's excuse, but the fact.
"I know you have a great master. It's best not to show off if something happens and ask your master to help you more. This is nothing to be ashamed of."
"Brother Ma, how do you know..."
"Last year during the Chinese New Year, when Xiao Cui was drinking with me, he accidentally let something slip while he was drunk. Don't blame him."
So that's what happened.
No wonder Ma Chao agreed to his request for leave so readily.
Lin Mo suddenly realized.
However, he still pretended to be worried.
"Brother Ma, my master won't let me say his name to anyone for fear of attracting enemies. You must not mention him to anyone casually. I'm afraid someone will overhear it!"
Ma Chao slapped his chest loudly and repeatedly promised.
"Don't worry, Xiao Lin, you know that I, Mr. Ma, have the strictest words. I keep my mouth shut and will not tell others about this."
I believe you!
Lin Mo complained secretly.
But his goal has been achieved.
"I believe you, Brother Marco."
"Xiao Lin, have a nice trip."
Looking at Lin Mo's retreating back.
Ma Chaoyue found that this little brother was worthy of close friendship.
In order to confirm the safety of Shen Ke and Cui You, Lin Mo rushed to the dangerous place without hesitation.
This alone is not something that ordinary friends can do.
at the same time.
Just when Lin Mo set off.
A team sent by the Secret Service has arrived in the Taihang Mountains.
At this time, the clear sky suddenly began to rain heavily.
The continuous rain makes people feel wet.
Fortunately, there is a campsite already set up at the foot of the mountain.
The group got out of the car and sat down in the camp to take shelter from the rain.
The leading officer was Company Commander Qi from the army.
He immediately asked a member of the investigation team named "Xiao Ding" who stayed here to introduce the relevant situation to a middle-aged Taoist nun wearing a Taoist robe.
But a bald monk next to the Taoist nun, like an old monk in meditation, closed his eyes and fiddled with the rosary beads in his hand, silently reciting Buddhist scriptures.
These two monks were the same people from the Dragon Guard Division who were hunting down the wind demon.
Team member Xiao Ding's account was very different from the descriptions the two had heard before.
After listening, the middle-aged Taoist nun asked him: "Where is the forest where the members of the foreign affairs investigation team disappeared?"
Team member Xiao Ding immediately pointed in a direction.
"On the other side of the mountain, you have to climb over the mountain in front of you to see it."
The middle-aged Taoist nun nodded and said, "Then let's wait until the rain stops before going up the mountain."
After waiting for a long time, the rain gradually stopped.
The road up the mountain had become muddy.
Everyone can no longer ride in military vehicles and can only move forward on foot.
Company Commander Qi ordered several well-trained soldiers.
Told them to fully cooperate with this operation.
The soldiers naturally agreed in unison, with great momentum.
The road up the mountain is very bad and full of mud.
Fortunately, except for a few practitioners, the rest are well-trained soldiers.
I have experienced such conditions during training, but I don’t have many complaints.
After walking all the way, in the evening, the group came to a mountain col.
Company Commander Qi sent a young man who looked very shrewd to observe the terrain on a high slope not far away.
The young man saw a tall old tree on the top of the slope and jumped up.
Looking into the distance, there is a small village swaying in the drizzle, looming in the hazy mist.
He immediately came down and reported the situation.
However, team member Xiao Ding was full of doubts.
"strangeness……"
Seeing his expression, Captain Qi couldn't help but asked curiously: "What's wrong?"
Xiao Ding scratched his head and said: "We have also observed the terrain before, but we didn't find any mountain villages in that direction at all!"
"No way?"
Captain Qi frowned and said, "Did you remember it wrong? I visited the nearby mountain people. There is only that one village in this area. It's impossible for another village to pop up out of thin air, right?"
"I remember correctly, because that was the terrain I was looking at, and the mountain village we found was in that direction."
Team member Xiao Ding definitely pointed in the completely opposite direction.
"You see, the investigation team entered that forest and disappeared."
Everyone looked along and found that there was indeed a large forest in the distance.
There is a looming outline of a village on the edge of the woods.
"Everyone, come here quickly!"
The young man who had climbed the tree suddenly shouted.
"What's wrong with you kid? Are you so startled?"
Company Commander Qi was a little impatient.
"Company Commander, that village is... gone!"
The young man looked frightened and stammered.
"impossible!"
Company Commander Qi ran over quickly.
Look in the direction the young man pointed before.
The original mountain village actually disappeared at this moment.
"This……"
Company Commander Qi was dumbfounded and felt extremely strange.
"Did we encounter the legendary ghost village?"
"It can't be haunted in broad daylight, right?"
The soldiers murmured.
The middle-aged Taoist nun turned sideways and asked, "Mingde, have you noticed anything unusual?"
The bald monk Mingde looked far into the distance, with a special light flashing in his eyes.
"Amitabha, the poor monk noticed that there is a lingering resentment in the mountain col ahead. How strange!"
"Mei Gu, you Taoists should have a deeper understanding of the art of Feng Shui and Kanyu than the poor monk. Have you seen any clues?"
After pondering for a moment, Mei Gu hesitated and said: "There is no big problem with Feng Shui, but..."
"But what?"
"I found that the terrain of this place is unique, and it is an excellent place to hide the wind and absorb the qi. This is also the fundamental reason why the evil qi can condense and not disperse. But other than that, I really can't tell it through the technique of looking at the qi. There’s something wrong.”
"Can't you even see that? It seems like this errand is not going to be that easy."
Monk Mingde sighed softly.
Company Commander Qi frowned and asked, "Then according to what you two said, aren't the people in the investigation team..."
Aunt Mei shook her head slightly and whispered: "Even a poor nun is not sure. Now we can only do our best and obey fate."
After discussion, several people decided to first go to the forest where the investigation team disappeared to see the situation.
Start setting off.
As the saying goes, Wangshan runs to death.
The forest looked close, but it took nearly half an hour for everyone to get there.
Observe the terrain of this place.
There are many mountains and forests.
There are tall locust trees everywhere in this forest.
In Feng Shui, the locust tree is a plant with a strong yin energy, and is called the "ghost among the trees".
According to folklore, a ghostly face may grow on an old locust tree, as if it is possessed by a ghost, which is very scary.
The locust trees blocked the sunlight, and the trees were so dense that they looked like ghosts.
