mysterious forerunner

Chapter 181 Small temples all over the mountain
"Why don't you practice martial ethics?" Ma Manluo said angrily, his face flushed, "You attacked me while I was drawing my sword, I'm not ready yet!"

Zhang Qingxiang stepped back, holding the reed pole casually with one hand and attacking Ma Manluo with the other: "Do it again, this time I'll let you attack."

Ma Manluo suddenly regained his super self-confidence, stood proudly with a sword in hand, looked at all living beings in the wild, and then moved like a rabbit!

shhhhh--

The sword moves are dense and dense, like mercury pouring down the ground.

Ma Manluo had already thought about it. Although Zhang Qingxiang was very shameless just now and took advantage of his carelessness to rely on a sneak attack and pointed the reed stick at his throat, he still had to be like everyone and stopped the tip of the sword at his throat this time. and then give him a chance to "do it over again."

Then beat him a second time.

What about the leader of the secret case team? How do you become a leader in an official organization? Who has no idea?
But as soon as Ma Manluo handed over the sword, he heard a ding, and then he felt that he had lost control of the sword!
Swish!
The reed stick pointed at his throat again.

Ma Manluo looked at his empty hands and couldn't believe it at all.

The sword flew more than ten meters away and stuck diagonally on the ground.

He didn't see clearly how Zhang Qingxiang took action. Could a fragile reed pole knock off his sword?
Zhang Qingxiang took back the reed pole and asked, "Do you want to try again?"

"It doesn't matter. If you are not convinced, you can try a few more times."

"It won't take long anyway."

Ma Manluo looked at Zhang Qingxiang in surprise: "Are you...also a swordsman?"

"I'm not." Zhang Qingxiang shook his head, not intending to explain.

"The Essence of Chuan Wu - Forty-seven Practice and Fighting Moves" contains almost all the essence of Chuan Wu, including swordsmanship of course.

A novice like Ma Manluo who had just become a [swordsman] thought he had understood the supreme secret of swordsmanship... In addition to Ma Manluo's own arrogance, it was also because he had never seen other "swordsmanship".

"Can we follow the command in all actions now?" Zhang Qingxiang asked sharply.

If that doesn't work, Zhang Qingxiang can only give up this teammate and let him fend for himself. In short, he can't be dragged around by him.

"Yes!" Ma Manluo quickly corrected his attitude and stood at attention when he was beaten. This was a good idea.

Shi Fangjie didn't care about saving face for him anymore, and told him: "You have just taken office, and your strength is about level one."

"It's already pretty good. Generally speaking, after taking office, you often have to experience several mysterious scenes before you can truly step into the first level."

"Maybe it's because you have good physical fitness and some combat experience, so you are directly in the first level of employment."

"But..." Shi Fangjie pointed at Zhang Qingxiang: "Our team leader is already at level five."

"He said just now that he doesn't need a real guy because he's afraid he'll beat you to death accidentally - that's the truth."

Although Ma Manluo didn't know how powerful the "fifth level" was, he still understood that there was a big difference between the numbers "one" and "five".

Doctor Liu on the other hand was disappointed: "You are so confident, I thought you were really strong, but I didn't expect you to be so ordinary."

Doctor Liu thought about it and felt that if he had gone up to confront Ma Manluo, he could have stolen his sword directly before he drew it.

If it was a life and death duel, then what he stole would not be the sword, but his heart.

His whole body, that is, stealing his brain might be a little more difficult. After all, his head is very hard. He really dares to compete with the leader of the secret case team.

Zhang Qingxiang walked to the sword, hooked the sword with his toes and flew up. The hilt fell accurately into Ma Manluo's hand. Then Zhang Qingxiang took out the [Tiger General's Spear] and held it in his hand, heading towards the mountain.

Shi Fangjie waved to the two of them, asking them to follow him first, but he was still stuck in the position of deputy squad leader.

There are no roads in the mountains at all - in fact, it doesn't matter whether there are roads or not. There is no vegetation on the mountains, and the moss will not cause any hindrance to the four of them.

They were all professionals, and their physical strength was far beyond that of ordinary people. Within ten minutes, they climbed over two mountains and entered a valley.

"There are no signs of animal activity." Zhang Qingxiang said, "Not in the mountains, not outside the mountains."

Ma Manluo and Dr. Liu recalled it and were surprised: "Since we came in, we haven't even seen a sparrow!"

"All the creatures were captured by the villagers to refine their swords."

Turning out of the valley, the four of them stopped at the same time.

Halfway up the mountainside ahead, there is a small, dilapidated temple.

The small temple is built with stone bricks and stone tiles hewn from the black stone in the mountains. The main structure is very solid and looks dilapidated because the doors and windows have completely rotted away.

The temple is dark and gloomy, and a statue of a god can be vaguely seen.

Zhang Qingxiang gestured behind him, the three of them stopped, and he stepped forward to check alone.

While Ma Manluo was still muttering about his experience in the world of "don't enter the temple when visiting a temple", Zhang Qingxiang had already arrived at the door.

"It is indeed a mountain temple."

The statue of the god enshrined inside is two meters high, exactly the same as the one seen in the village.

But Zhang Qingxiang always felt that something was wrong - this strange feeling made him not rush into the mountain temple, but released the secret technique [Tian Ting] again to check whether there was really any danger hidden inside.

As soon as [Tian Ting] was sent out, Zhang Qingxiang's expression changed, and the azure spear in his hand pointed under the altar table, with murderous intent coming out!
"What the hell, come out!"

There was no sound in the mountain temple. Zhang Qingxiang snorted coldly and raised the [Raging Frog Hand Cannon] with his left hand.

"Don't shoot!" A voice suddenly sounded from under the altar, followed by a man crawling out.

"I'm not weird, I'm human. I'm the director of gastroenterology at Ping An Hospital..."

Dr. Liu hurried forward when he heard the voice, took a closer look and was surprised: "Director Ding, it's really you. I'm so glad you're okay." Director Ding was white and fat, and his digestive system was in good condition.

But now he was a little embarrassed, his clothes were scratched in a few places, and there was a lot of dust on his face.

Zhang Qingxiang was suspicious: "Do you know each other?"

Doctor Liu nodded quickly: "I know him, it's indeed Director Ding."

Director Ding raised his hands and said with a wry smile: "Comrade...comrade, I understand that you will be doubtful. In this case, can you put down the gun first, and I will explain to you.

You pointed a gun at me, and I, I couldn't speak properly. "

Zhang Qingxiang slowly put down the [Raging Frog Hand Cannon]. Anyway, this is not the real killing move.

Director Ding did not approach, but stood there and said, "I escaped from the village yesterday."

"My mother came to visit me from my hometown a month ago and brought me an antique from an old rural house. She said it always glows in the middle of the night."

"That was an original thing, and I quietly became a professional."

"Everyone was pulled in yesterday... Although I have the ability, I have never experienced a mysterious scene. I was very scared at the time and did not dare to take action."

"After being caught in a yard, I found an opportunity to escape."

He was a little afraid to look at Dr. Liu. He was obviously capable, but he didn't save any of his colleagues and just ran away.

"I felt that nowhere in the village was safe, so I went straight into the mountains."

"My hometown is in Gushan Mountain. As long as I enter the mountain, they can't catch me."

Doctor Liu did not blame him, but comforted him: "Even if we become professionals, we are still ordinary people. It is normal not to have the courage."

Zhang Qingxiang looked into the mountain temple and asked him, "Have you been hiding here?"

"No." Director Ding said: "Yesterday I tried my best to drill deep into the mountains. I encountered several such mountain temples along the way and I didn't dare to stop..."

"How many?" Zhang Qingxiang was confused.

"Yeah, I'm still wondering why there are so many temples in this mountain." Director Ding pointed to the mountain peak in front of him: "Over this mountain, there is another one at the foot of the mountain over there."

"Since I came in yesterday, I have encountered a total of eight or nine. When I entered the deep mountains, there was one under almost every mountain peak."

"Are they all like this mountain temple?"

"Almost exactly the same!"

Zhang Qingxiang frowned, why are there so many mountain temples...

"You escaped into the mountains, why did you come out again?"

Director Ding looked a little uneasy: "I, I am still a little worried about everyone after all, and I want to come out and see the situation."

He is lying! Zhang Qingxiang saw through it at a glance.

Doctor Liu said calmly: "You want to save Dr. Zhou and Nurse Bai, right?"

Director Ding blushed and hesitated.

Ma Manluo's eyes widened: "Two? Are they still in your hospital?"

Doctor Liu nodded, but he still had something to say. Neither of these two were Director Ding's wives.

Ma Manluo raised his thumbs up: "You are really enjoying your time here!"

Doctor Liu defended: "It's him, don't involve our hospital. I'm still single."

Ma Manluo looked at him with pity: "The hospital is a hospital, so don't get involved with you, right? You must be so useless. In such a big hospital, not only can you not find a girlfriend, you can't even have a running partner? "

"You are such an unpleasant person!" Dr. Liu became angry with embarrassment.

Ma Manluo shrugged his shoulders: "It doesn't matter. I just want to please women. It doesn't matter whether men like me or not."

The two of them bickered, while Zhang Qingxiang was thinking about what Director Ding said.

There are not many small temples like this on the outskirts of the mountain, but there is a mountain temple on a peak inside?

It’s not a matter of too many, it’s a matter of not having too many at all.

The same mountain, even if it is a large mountain range of seven or eight hundred miles, has three or five mountain temples.

There is a temple on each mountain, just feel... This temple is not actually built for the mountain god.

Zhang Qingxiang used [Tian Ting] to repeatedly check Director Ding: he is indeed still a human being. Zhang Qingxiang lowered the green spear in his hand.

Director Ding quietly breathed a sigh of relief. As a professional, he can vaguely sense danger. Although he put down the musket just now, the strong sense of danger has not disappeared.

Zhang Qingxiang also entered the mountain temple.

"There is nothing weird..." Zhang Qingxiang walked around the small mountain temple and checked everywhere. There were no dead objects in all places.

In fact, Zhang Qing was extremely wary of this mountain temple. The moment he stepped in, he was even prepared to be swallowed by a weird mouth.

Although there is nothing weird here, Zhang Qingxiang just feels an indescribable feeling: something must be wrong somewhere, but I haven't found it out yet.
