Between mountains and seas

Chapter 147

When He Maochuan pushed the door open, he was full of anxiety.Information flow is so convenient these days that it is very difficult to hide.And now it's not just Qi Tongmin who is wanted outside, even his profile picture is on the Internet.What's more, there are cameras everywhere, and images may be left behind if you are not careful. Even a supernatural person has nothing to do about it.

When he entered the door, he saw Qi Tongmin standing at the window looking out, with a smile on his face, as if he was in a good mood, and he couldn't help frowning even more.

Speaking of which, he really has to admire Qi Tongmin. The human figure cut from the skin of Shuten Doji changes every day. Now the small hole on the shoulder the size of broken rice has expanded to dozens of times before, almost covering the skin. Half of the doll's body is consumed.If this trend continues, Qi Tongmin will only have ten or eight days left to live, but he doesn't look anxious at all, and he can still laugh!

"Mr. Qi!" He Maochuan couldn't laugh.It has been a long time since he used the symbiotic shikigami to "replenish energy" for himself.Recently, he can almost feel that his body is weakening and decaying, and he is probably no better than Qi Tongmin.

"Mr. He—" Qi Tongmin seemed to not see his displeasure, and smiled briskly, "Are you back?"

"Is there any good news for Mr. Qi?" He Maochuan was already extremely displeased, "I really don't know how Mr. Qi can laugh! Didn't you see that piece of ghost skin?"

Of course it was seen.In order to warn, He Maochuan put the little man cut out of the ghost skin on the table with a small stand, which can be seen when going in and out. It is as eye-catching as the big red banners on the high school campus that read "xx days before the college entrance examination".

He Maochuan didn't believe that Qi Tongmin could really ignore the warning of this piece of ghost skin, but Qi Tongmin really looked relaxed every day, as if the piece of ghost skin that had been emptied by half had nothing to do with him!

And He Maochuan himself was also threatened by death. Seeing that piece of ghost skin being gradually hollowed out, why didn't he feel that "his body is also gradually being hollowed out"?However, he couldn't be as calm as Qi Tongmin, so he hated Qi Tongmin's relaxed attitude even more in his heart, wishing he could stick that piece of ghost skin on Qi Tongmin's face and let him take a good look at it!

However, Qi Tongmin just glanced at it casually, and then laughed: "There is indeed good news, Mr. He, do you want to hear it?"

Is not this nonsensical!He Maochuan remained silent with a gloomy face, and Qi Tongmin didn't seem to care about his attitude, and continued on his own: "We found Zhong Shan."

"What!" He Maochuan almost jumped up immediately, and could no longer maintain his airs: "Mr. Qi, what did you say? Did you really find Zhong Shan? How did you find it? Where is it?" Qi Tongmin just stayed in the room every day. If you don't go out, you actually found Zhong Shan?

"Of course I didn't find it." Qi Tongmin smiled slightly, "It's internal news from the Special Affairs Department."

"Special Affairs Department?" He Maochuan was really surprised this time, "Mr. Qi can still get news from the Special Affairs Department?" He thought Qi Tongmin was already alone.

Qi Tongmin observed the expression on his face, smiled and said, "It's okay to pass on some news."

He Maochuan didn't speak immediately.Send a message?Zhong Shan's news is not as simple as "one point", it is definitely an internal secret of the Special Affairs Division!Qi Tongmin can even get this kind of secret, he must have someone in the special affairs department.

He Maochuan always thought that his chance to intervene was very good - Qi Tongmin was wanted and cursed, and when he was desperate, he could only accept his conditions.However, now he feels that he may be a little too optimistic about the situation. If Qi Tongmin can still get confidential information from inside the special affairs department, is there a way to get rid of the curse of the mythical sand?

If he really has a way to lift the curse, is Shuten-douji's skin really useful?Could it be that he wasted a precious scapegoat skin for nothing, but ended up falling into Qi Tongmin's trap?

Qi Tongmin seemed a little surprised by his long silence: "Mr. He is not happy to hear the news?"

"Of course I'm happy." He Maochuan quickly made a decision, "So, where is Zhong Shan?"

"Hidden by Nvwa." Qi Tongmin didn't show off, and answered his question very clearly, "I have got the map leading to Zhongshan now. Following this map, we can reach the outskirts of Zhongshan. But want to To go in, that's a different story - it's a space that's been isolated."

He Maochuan understood what he meant: "As long as you know the specific location." As for how to enter that space, it's up to him.

Qi Tongmin smiled: "That's right, it will be up to Mr. He then. By the way—" he said seemingly unintentionally, "According to the information I got, there is indeed a candle dragon in Zhongshan, and it is still alive. So I found Zhong Shan may not be difficult, but it will be more dangerous after entering. After all, the candle dragon may be an extremely rare light and dark beast, and I am afraid it will be impossible to deal with it if there are few people. Otherwise, Nuwa would not choose that place as the formation eye."

He Maochuan understood what he meant.This means that with the guardian of the candle dragon, even if you enter Zhongshan, you don't want to get the five-color stone easily, so it is not a good idea to leave Qi Tongmin and enter Zhongshan alone.

However, He Maochuan really didn't think about getting rid of Qi Tongmin, so he also smiled at Qi Tongmin: "Mr. Qi is right. Nuwa put all the five-color stones there, it must be because Zhulong has enough ability to protect .So we need more people - just as I have two friends arriving tomorrow, we can act together."

"Oh?" Qi Tongmin raised his eyebrows, "Mr. He's friend? Must be an excellent onmyoji too?"

He Maochuan said lightly: "I don't dare to be outstanding, but they can all be helpful."

"That's great." Qi Tongmin said with a smile, "The two of us are still a little too thin. Who knows what will happen after entering Zhongshan?"

The two looked at each other, and both cursed "cunning" in their hearts.

When Shao Jingxing and He Maochuan were calculating each other, the special affairs department was having a meeting, and the content of the meeting was of course the map obtained by Huo Qing and Shao Jingxing.

"Is this the deduction of the talisman map?" Shao Jingxing leaned against Huo Qing's ear, and while looking at the weird pattern projected on the screen, he asked in a low voice in surprise—the special affairs department is really good, they sent the map back In less than 48 hours, the special affairs department calculated the talisman array laid down by Nuwa based on the map.

His breath was blowing in Huo Qing's ears, it was hot and itchy, and Huo Qing couldn't help but think of what they did on the day when they came back late. I've been doing it too..."

Rome was not built in a day. The deduction of the talisman array has actually been carried out for more than ten years, and some laws have been explored, but it is difficult to determine because there is no accurate reference.After Shao Jingxing and Huo Qing found out that a scorpion pillar was in the Great Desolation Mountain by accident, according to this clear marking point, the deduction work immediately took a big step forward.After the map was sent back, the special affairs department immediately summoned all the talisman masters that could be summoned, and the online meeting has been held six times.

"A lot of people joined in." Ji Xiaojiu explained proudly, "My uncles, aunts, cousins, and uncles all participated." main force.

"Did your starling participate?" Shao Jingxing thought of Ding Jiyan, the only man he knew from the Ji family.

"Participated." Ji Xiaojiu snorted, "For he is active this time."

"Then what is the function of this talisman pattern?" Shao Jingxing looked at the projected pattern as if many worms twisted together, completely at a loss.

Ji Xiaojiu rolled her eyes at him: "Brother Shao, will you understand me after I tell you?"

"Forget it..." Shao Jingxing gave up with self-knowledge, "Anyway, we figured it out, so why don't we go into Zhongshan, see what's wrong with the talisman array, and then fix it like this?"

"The general direction is like this." Ji Xiaojiu became serious, "but there are still many problems in the details. First of all, this calculation cannot be guaranteed to be completely correct, and it must be combined with the actual situation—that is to say, you must actually enter Zhongshan and see it with your own eyes. Only the talisman array arranged by Nuwa can make the final calculation."

She reached out and compared the picture on the screen, trying to explain in detail, but considering that Huo Qing and Shao Jingxing are laymen in this area, she finally gave up: "That is to say, it is also possible that the talisman array originally arranged by Nuwa is different from this one." If it is not exactly the same, then you have to restore it according to Nuwa's original layout. In short, you have to go in and have a look to be sure."

Shao Jingxing was a little puzzled: "Then what's the use of calculating now?" After entering, wouldn't you be able to see the talisman array laid down by Nuwa?

Ji Xiaojiu was so angry that she rolled her eyes: "Brother Shao, do you think Zhong Shan just entered casually? Zhong Shan is a part of the talisman array, and if you don't know the principle, you can't find the way in if you turn around a hundred times outside! The talisman array calculated now is for entering quickly at that time. Do you think that Zhongshan is so safe, so you can just stay there? Think about it, there are protections around the Aozuzhu, and Zhongshan is where the talisman array is located , How could there be no protection? Then there are no strange beasts around! Those who participate in the operation must make a quick decision, otherwise they may face a large group of strange beasts!"

"This, is it so scary?" Shao Jingxing couldn't help shrinking his neck, thinking of the herd of cattle that chased them madly, and the combination of maple trees and snakes that surrounded them beyond sight...

"Of course." Ji Xiaojiu sighed, "Speaking of which, Brother Shao, you and Brother Huo are really lucky, you can actually split the space to find the Ao Zuzhu. Think about it, if you want to go the normal way, you can find it from the outside Go look for Aozuzhu, what will be the result?"

When Shao Jingxing thought about the fire in the Great Desolation Mountain, he couldn't help feeling lingering in his heart: "You're right." Fortunately, Huo Qing ran fast with his back at that time - it was only a few steps short, if they reacted when it suddenly became hot Slow down, maybe both of them will be burned to ashes, and when the wind blows, they will probably be entangled to the end of the world...

"I still don't know what's going on with Zhong Shan—" Ji Xiaojiu was also very worried, "The most troublesome thing is that I still don't know how to get in. We don't have five-color moths!"

According to the photos of the copper tripod candle dragon provided by Shao Jingxing and Huo Qing, combined with the special affairs department's calculation of the talisman, it is confirmed that the moth-like thing cast on the top of the candle dragon's head is by no means an ornament, it should refer to The five-colored moth that Shao Jingxing and the others had seen in the space of the Aozuzhu in the Great Desolation Mountain.

"Uncle Gu found some clues in the things left by Section Chief Qi. He found a network disk, which contained a diary left by the ancestors of the Qi family, which recorded information about the five-color moth. A five-color moth egg was left behind." Ji Xiaojiu was very regretful, "It's a pity that these things were destroyed in the ten-year catastrophe as the four old things-hey, it turns out that after all, the pen is also an old thing of the Qi family, if it wasn't for that time I entrusted it to Uncle Gu's father, so maybe we'll all die together."

Shao Jingxing was a little surprised: "I know so many things!"

"Otherwise—" Ji Xiaojiu rubbed her eyes wearily, "We're not doing nothing these days. Especially Uncle Gu, I don't know how he found the clue..." She sighed Tone, "Although Yang Shuming was transferred from the top to maintain stability, Uncle Gu is still under a lot of pressure - it's also fortunate that you found the map, otherwise if the situation of the enchantment deteriorates, overlapping phenomena may appear frequently, Then Uncle Gu might not be able to sit still..."

Huo Qing frowned slightly, not knowing what he was thinking, and then asked: "Then what if there are no five-color moths?"

Ji Xiaojiu sighed: "That's why I want Brother Huo to come back quickly. The five-color moth can't be replaced, and we don't have space-type abilities now, so maybe we can only crack it violently in the end."

Shao Jingxing was still in a daze, but Huo Qing had come to his senses: "I think I—" He had split space before, so now he suspects that he may have some space ability?

"Yeah." Ji Xiaojiu nodded, "A dead horse is a living horse doctor. Besides, at least Brother Huo, you have experience. Even if you can only crack it by brute force in the end, you have to have a direction."

Shao Jingxing pulled her hair: "What a dead horse!"

Ji Xiaojiu tilted her head and stuck out her tongue at him: "It's not what I said, it's because the experts are anxious..."

In fact, it's not just the experts who are impatient, but the entire Special Affairs Department and even the directly governed departments above. Everyone knows the inside story. A crack in the barrier is enough to cause headaches. If it overlaps, the consequences will be unimaginable.Look at the two overlaps, what would have happened if someone from the special affairs department hadn't happened to deal with it in time?

What if the Rat Beast escaped?What if the invention flies out?

This time I was stopped by the special affairs department, what about next time?

So how can everyone not be in a hurry?If there are strange beasts running out, or the terrain is affected - I dare not think about it. Everyone knows the most serious situation. Dayu has controlled the water.

So in the past few days, the deduction team formed urgently took the map and frantically turned around, and the superior department also issued a death order, and immediately formed an action team to find Zhong Shan immediately!

Of course, to search for it is actually to enter, and then see how the talisman is damaged, and start repairing it.

Even if it can't be repaired successfully once, at least you have to enter Zhongshan to see what's wrong!

"In recent years, our special affairs department has been exploring the world of mountains and seas." Gu Sheng's explanation of this talisman is also relatively simple, because these people here, who are engaged in talisman analysis, can generally understand it. Those who engage in action don't understand how to talk about it, so I just talked about the function of the talisman array in general, and then turned to the topic.

"We have built multiple fixed gates everywhere, so now combined with this map, we can enter from the nearest fixed gate in Turpan, so that we can reach the location of Zhongshan just by passing through two mountains." Gu Sheng pointed I clicked on the projected map on the other side of the screen, "It's just that these last two mountains may not be as simple as we used to know."

Almost at the same time as the special affairs department held a meeting, Qi Tongmin was also pointing to the map on the computer screen to explain. Of course, the object of his explanation was He Maochuan and his two "friends" who had just arrived.

"If we smuggle in from near the fixed gate in Turpan, we should be able to reach Zhaoyao Mountain first." Qi Tongmin observed the two "new friends" while pointing at the map.

According to Ka Maochuan's introduction, both of them are junior onmyojis, but according to Qi Tongmin's observation, the older Komatsu Masao is worthy of his name, while the younger Fukui Hidemi is not quite like him-even though he has a The cat, but the more Qi Tongmin observed it, the more he felt that the cat didn't seem to be close to him, nor did it seem to obey orders, and it didn't seem like a shikigami raised by himself.

And now Fukui Hidemi's reaction has further verified his speculation. When he said the name of the ostentatious mountain, Komatsu Masao leaned forward slightly, obviously very interested; but Fukui Hidemi did not respond at all, and even slightly Dazed look.

He probably didn't even know where Zhao Yaoshan was.However, Mount Zhaoyao is a well-known place in the Classic of Mountains and Seas—the head of Nan Shan Jing is called Que Mountain, and the head of it is called Mount Zhaoyao.Anyone who has read "Shan Hai Jing" will probably have a little impression, let alone an onmyoji.If he doesn't know this kind of required course, it only shows that he is not an Onmyoji at all!

If it is not an onmyoji, but He Maochuan thinks that he can enter the world of mountains and seas, it can only be because of his rather high force value.And Japan happens to have such a group that meets this requirement, and that is ninjas.

Of course, the premise is that Fukui is indeed Japanese.

While thinking about it, Qi Tongmin briefly talked about the situation of Zhaoyao Mountain, and pointed to the next target: "But for us, the most dangerous place may be here, because I still can't be sure, where is this place?" a mountain."
