mysterious forerunner

Chapter 182 Three in One

Shi Fangjie and others also followed. Zhang Qingxiang couldn't find it himself, so he asked everyone: "Have you noticed anything unusual?"

Shi Fangjie and the others searched carefully, but Director Ding was startled: "Abnormal?" He hid here for a long time. If there was an abnormality, he must have been contaminated.

Zhang Qingxiang stared at him again, staring deeply - Director Ding was even more frightened, and his voice was crying: "Team Leader Zhang, is there anything wrong with me?"

Zhang Qingxiang still stared at him and did not answer.

Director Ding was timid and almost collapsed before Zhang Qingxiang said: "No, you are safe."

Director Ding relaxed all over and reached out to wipe the sweat from his forehead.

Ma Manluo wandered around the room, and even ran behind the statue to take a look, but found nothing.

I just feel that this mountain temple is a little too clean.

Not to mention that the ground was spotless, there wasn't even a cobweb in the narrow slit on the back of the statue.

"It does feel a bit weird," Ma Manluo said, "but I looked carefully and found nothing wrong. We all felt a little uncomfortable, maybe because we were affected by the pressure in the mysterious scene, and we were nervous and a little suspicious."

Ma Manluo waved his hand again: "I understand this emotion - before we go abroad to compete, we will all have this kind of nervousness, and we will often wonder if we are not well prepared in some areas. I will teach you how to alleviate this emotion... …”

Zhang Qingxiang ignored him. He seemed to be stepping on invisible steps, climbing up one level at a time, until he reached a position close to the roof.

None of the three Shi Fangjie listened to Ma Manluo's bragging, they were all looking at Team Leader Zhang.

Ma Manluo raised his head: "What's the problem up there? The beams or the roof. I'll take a look too."

He rushed up to the beam, huddled there and looked back and forth like a giant monkey, secretly blaming himself: He was careless, why did he forget to check the beam in a place like this?
He forgot, but Zhang Qingxiang did not forget. Zhang Qingxiang had already secretly checked with [Tian Ting], and there was nothing wrong with the beams.

Although Zhang Qingxiang stood in mid-air at the same level as the beams, his eyes were looking downward.

Shi Fangjie and three others followed. Zhang Qingxiang pointed to the top of the statue: "Look, you guys."

Ma Manluo exclaimed: "So that's where it is."

After the four people saw it clearly, their expressions changed.

There is a narrow cavity on the top of the head of the idol.

Shi Fangjie figured it out immediately and said in shock: "This statue... was used to refine swords just like those human sacrifices!"

The wound on the head of the statue was obviously caused by a sword inserted directly from the top of the head.

Zhang Qingxiang always felt that there was something strange in the mountain temple, and now he finally figured it out.

Although the statues in this mountain temple are exactly the same as those worshiped by the villagers, there are some differences in their expressions.

At first glance, the expression on the face of the statue looks like a furious Vajra, but the one in the mountain temple is not majestic, but "painful".

It's just that the craftsmanship in shaping the statue is not very good. Compared with Jiang Yu, the difference is thousands of miles away, although this difference is not obvious and can easily be ignored.

Zhang Qingxiang fell back to the ground, and Ma Manluo also jumped down, landing with a thud.

Zhang Qingxiang quickly walked out: "Go to other mountain temples."

Director Ding quickly led the way: "I'll take you to the nearest one."

Sure enough, after climbing over a mountain in front, at the foot of the mountain on the other side, there is another mountain temple, which is exactly the same in shape as this one, and even the size of the statue inside is the same.

Zhang Qingxiang checked it in the air, and sure enough, there was a sword mark on the top of the statue's head.

This time Zhang Qingxiang took a little more risk and looked for something to explore the depth of the wound.

Fully one and a half meters.

The wound was as wide as an adult's hand - the "unparalleled sword" that was sacrificed to a god was probably a huge two-handed sword.

"So many mountain temples are not used to worship mountain gods at all, but are used to... refine swords?" Ma Manluo's big mouth opened again: "But where have so many mountain temples and so many swords gone? "

"If even mountain gods are used to make swords, why do the villagers believe in mountain gods?"

"And you firmly believe that as long as you refine a peerless sword for the mountain god, you will be blessed by the mountain god and gain eternal life?"

Zhang Qingxiang did not answer. At this time, it seemed that the ghost trace that always appeared in the villagers' homes was probably the "hidden BOSS" of this scene.

The mountain god is just a puppet on the surface.

But what on earth are those ghost traces?
Of course, there is no shortage of mysteries such as "shadows" and "nightmares" in the secret world.

But if the ghost trace is the ultimate boss of this mysterious scene, then what is it that Xiong Zhenlin saw, the illusory hand that flipped the "world" of Ping An Hospital and turned it into a mysterious village with just a finger?

Others may ignore this "plot", but Zhang Qingxiang knows very well that the "special effects" scenes in the previous life ultimately proved that the mysterious people will not do meaningless things.

"Special effects" are all part of the scene, not just for gimmicks.

Zhang Qingxiang walked out of the second mountain temple: "Go to the next one."

I visited four mountain temples one after another, and all the statues inside were like this.

"No need to look any further," Zhang Qingxiang exhaled slowly: "It has been proven that every building is like this."

Ma Manluo said: "I told you before entering the mountain that this mountain is a huge monster. The giant sword that flashed away killed the monster, leaving behind the weird soul and evil aura. This mysterious scene is formed here.

This mountain god is probably the incarnation of that weird thing.

Therefore, the sword holes on these statues are not actually swords made by mountain gods, but wounds left by being killed by giant swords. "

Shi Fangjie asked: "Why are there so many mountain temples?"

"It may be some kind of confusion..." Ma Manluo thought as he replied: "The mountain god is dead after all. These mountain temples may have evolved from his broken thoughts, so they appear a bit chaotic."

Ma Manluo felt that his "reasoning" was very close to the truth; but in Zhang Qingxiang's view, it was all speculation without any basis or evidence.

They were standing in the fourth mountain temple and had just confirmed that there was a sword hole on the top of the statue's head.

While Ma Manluo was talking, Zhang Qingxiang walked to the statue and looked at the back of the left hand of the statue.

There is a small trace in a very inconspicuous place.

Zhang Qingxiang raised his eyebrows slightly and sneered secretly: It is indeed so!
When he was at the second mountain temple, Zhang Qingxiang had some suspicions in his mind, so he secretly released the secret insect and took a bite at this inconspicuous place.

This mark appeared on every statue in the mountain temple next!
"Let's go." Zhang Qingxiang was anxious in his heart, but still looked calm on the surface, and led everyone away from the mountain temple.

Director Ding asked: "What should we do next? Are we still looking for the mountain temple?"

He still wanted to go back to the village to have a look first. Now that he had people from the secret case team around him, he felt a little more courageous. If there was a chance, he would rescue his two concubines.

"These guys from the secret case team can't just not help, right?"

Out of good intentions, Shi Fangjie and the others did not tell Director Ding that even if they were rescued, they were not professionals. When the sun set - and rose, they would turn into village monsters.

Ma Manluo has his own ideas: "I still think the key to this mysterious scene is the giant sword.

The remnant soul of the mountain god and the remnant image of the giant sword were also left behind.

As long as you can find the afterimage of the giant sword, you should be able to cut through this scene with a single swing and save everyone. "

The more he talked, the more it made sense, and he kept nodding.

Shi Fangjie and Doctor Liu both looked at Team Leader Zhang.

Zhang Qingxiang seemed to be careless. He first led everyone away from the mountain temple, and then suddenly took action. The [Tiger General's Spear] shot out with a whoosh, with the sound of rolling wind and thunder, leaving a straight afterimage, and stabbing with a bang. Go to the mountain temple!

"Ah?!" Several people exclaimed, and Ma Manluo was even more confused: "Why bother with it..."

Unbelievably, under Zhang Qingxiang's spear, the mountain temple turned into a dreamy bubble, shattered with a pop, and then disappeared!

"What the hell is this!?" Ma Manluo scratched his hair, suddenly feeling that there might be danger, and pulled out his sword with a cry -

As the sword was unsheathed, the entire Black Mountain suddenly trembled!
Ma Manluo's eyes were straight, and his chin almost dropped to his chest: Has my sword-drawing skill reached such a shocking level?
Why don’t I know it myself?
Zhang Qingxiang stabbed the mountain temple with his spear. The stone brick and stone tile mountain temple shattered like a phantom, but a wisp of colorful light and smoke curled up, straight into the sky, and then merged into the dim light of the sun.

At the same time that the mountain temple was destroyed, streaks of colorful light smoke rose up from the surrounding mountains and merged into the sunlight.

Since there are traces of insect bites on one idol, all the idols have them; then naturally if a mountain temple is destroyed, all mountain temples will be destroyed!
This thing is just a cover-up, used to hide more terrible secrets.

The mountain temple was destroyed, and the secret could no longer be hidden.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

The dull and loud sounds seemed to come from the deepest part of the earth, from the void layer, and the mountains kept squirming and stacking on top of each other. Terrible boulders rolling down from the top of the mountain, real landslides, a doomsday landscape.

Zhang Qingxiang jumped into the air and walked on tiptoe at an altitude of about 300 meters, avoiding landslides and ground cracks.

Among the others, only Shi Fangjie could barely sneak around for a short time, and he had to find a place to stay for a while every once in a while.

The three of Ma Manluo have no such ability at all.

Countless boulders rolled down, and even half of the broken mountain peaks fell down. The earth might open up at any time, with a gaping hole that was several miles long and bottomless. If you fell in, you might never be reincarnated!

Ma Manluo's face turned pale, and he instinctively had only one reaction: "Team Zhang, help!"

Zhang Qingxiang picked up one and two. When he used [Skip in the Air] again, he could only walk 150 meters in mid-air.

Zhang Qingxiang frowned: Ma Manluo is tall and strong, and Dr. Liu and Director Ding are both fat.

Good guy, everyone weighs more than Zhang Qingxiang.

"You guys really need to lose weight!"

The three of them blushed in shame.

The sun in the sky also turned red--suddenly it opened a pair of eyes spurting red flames, and a mouth burning with fire.

The originally dim sun immediately turned fiery red. call--

It sprayed downwards, endless sky fire rolled down, and the temperature of the entire world suddenly soared!

The mountains stacked up and collapsed, and everyone in the village was panicked. They rushed out and knelt down to the mountains on the roadside, kowtowing and wailing: "The mountain god is angry, and a disaster is about to happen. Everything will be destroyed..." "

The sun suddenly turned into an angry face, and they trembled even more, lying on the ground without even daring to raise their heads.

Infinite sky fire chased Zhang Qingxiang and burned them, but these flames did not even fall to the ground. First, they rushed towards Zhang Qingxiang like a tide from all directions. After Zhang Qingxiang dexterously dodged it, the flames exploded with a loud bang, turning into countless fire monsters, some of which Some are like tigers, leopards and jackals, some are like fire ghosts, some are like swords, guns, swords and halberds...

All began to hunt Zhang Qingxiang.

On the ground, the rumbling and violent mountains finally came to a halt. Only the largest one among the layers of mountains remained.

It lay there, silent for a moment, and then suddenly exploded.

"Roar--"

This mountain turned out to be a mountain giant ape, with its whole body dark and its muscles bulging like huge rocks. Even the eyes are dark and shiny!
Its extremely thick arms hit the ground hard, then sank deeply into the ground, and then pulled out a giant sword from the ground!
As soon as the giant sword came out, the murderous intent was overwhelming!
The mountain giant ape raised his giant sword high, and countless fire monsters in the sky obeyed the command!
From the big mouth of the sun, a piece of billowing sky fire spewed out again, landed on the giant sword, and turned the giant sword into a fire sword. Its power increased dramatically, but it did not cause any harm to the mountain giant ape.

Ma Manluo was so shocked that he stammered: "This, this, this... this is not right. Could it be that the giant sword killed the mountain god?
But the giant sword is the weapon of the mountain god? "

Zhang Qingxiang stared closely at the mountain giant ape: "Of course it was not the giant sword that killed the mountain god. Otherwise, how can we explain the villagers' beliefs?"

"The giant sword does not belong to the mountain god alone. The giant sword and the mountain god are one."

"Even the sun, the mountains, and the giant sword complement each other!"

"You still don't understand? The sun represents the furnace, the giant sword represents the best sword, and the mountain god represents human sacrifice!"

Ma Manluo was speechless. He had guessed wrong from the beginning, and it was so wrong that it was completely opposite to the truth.

Zhang Qingxiang said: "Faced with mystery, we can't take it for granted!"

Director Ding's fat and white face was sticky, sweat was pouring out, and it was quickly evaporated by the high temperature.

He shouted hysterically: "What's the use of your judgment? How to solve such a crisis? How can we defeat them?"

Zhang Qingxiang nodded and said: "You are right, then let's just give up and sit back and wait for death."

As soon as Zhang Qingxiang let go, Director Ding was thrown down with a whoosh.

"Don't give up! Team Leader Zhang can't give up, ah -" He screamed in horror, seeing the ground approaching him so fast that he was about to faint from fear as soon as he rolled his eyes.

Then his body suddenly froze, and when he was still more than one meter away from the ground, he was caught by Zhang Qingxiang again.

Director Ding was already exhausted, and his whole body was limp, letting Zhang Qingxiang carry him, and he did not dare to say a word again.

Zhang Qing looked at the mountain giant ape, and the opponent's giant sword was already pointed at him.

The sun in the sky and the countless fire monsters around them all move with the giant sword!
Zhang Qingxiang fell to the ground. The earth was calm and the ground was bare.

Zhang Qingxiang put the three people down and whispered: "You should stay away, Shi Fangjie will protect you.

I want to fight with all my strength and cannot be distracted! "

Then Zhang Qingxiang couldn't care about them anymore, and pointed the [Tiger General's Spear] at the mountain giant ape. At the same time, the [four arms] were opened behind their backs, each holding a secret object, and the "full force" mode was activated.

"Ouch!" The mountain giant ape roared, thinking of Zhang Qingxiang rushing towards him. Its body was so huge that the whole earth shook as it ran.

Zhang Qingxiang raised the green light spear and gently moved a small wall clock with his other hand.

"Click!"

The second hand of the wall clock moved back a few steps.

Zhang Qingxiang turned around calmly and pierced Director Ding's body with the tiger general's spear!

Director Ding's profession is [Blacksmith]. If this profession develops, he can build secret weapons, and the prospects are very bright.

Pity.

A blur of traces appeared on Director Ding's body.

Zhang Qingxiang's [Tiger General's Spear] stabbed forward with force again, and the layer of traces separated from his body and dissipated in the air.

Shi Fangjie in the distance was shocked: "Ghost traces! It can still be imprinted on people?"

Director Ding vomited blood from his mouth and looked down at the spear in his body. He was extremely puzzled: Since he had decided to make a sneak attack and kill the target, why did he hesitate temporarily and feel that it was not the right time yet?

He raised his head again, and the pupils of his eyes had disappeared. There were only two small black and gray ghost marks on the pale eyeballs!
laugh--

Zhang Qingxiang pulled out his spear, and Director Ding fell to the ground.

Zhang Qingxiang never trusted this person from the beginning.

A first-level professional hid in the mountains all night, but he was safe and sound? It's just too suspicious.

But Zhang Qingxiang could never find anything wrong with this guy.

This shows that the ghost traces are indeed terrifying.

It's impossible to detect it unless you see it with your own eyes.

And Director Ding is wearing clothes, and the ghost traces can be large or small, and can be hidden on any part of the skin under the clothes.

Even if you take all his clothes off, you may not be able to find it, because it can still be hidden on the scalp under the hair.

Zhang Qingxiang kept giving him another chance to take the initiative and expose him.

Just now Zhang Qingxiang threw him down and then caught him again - he thought it would take action at that time.

This thing actually held back.

Fortunately, Zhang Qingxiang and [Little Ben] finally seized this opportunity.

But it only expels the ghost traces, and I don’t know how to completely solve this weirdness.

The mountain giant ape that rushed violently was also affected. It had already rushed in front of Zhang Qingxiang and raised its giant sword high.

Whether it was slashing down with the giant sword, or raising his foot and stamping down hard, it seemed that he could easily kill this tiny opponent.

But it "hesitated" and actually felt that this was not a good time and had to wait!
Zhang Qingxiang calmly killed the contaminated Director Ding, and after expelling the traces of the ghost, he dragged the [Tiger General's Spear] around and used [Skip Kong] to its extreme, wandering around the body of the mountain giant ape.

The giant mountain ape looked up to the sky and roared, stabbing the sword with both hands into the ground. With a roar, the flames from the giant sword poured into the earth, and the entire ground turned into a sea of ​​fire!
Leave you with nowhere to stay!

Then it drew its greatsword and pointed it at the sun again.

The sun opened its mouth, and the rolling sky fire fell down, blending with the fire monsters, forming a ten-mile wide fire network in the sky!

The fire net is down, and the mountain giant ape is holding a sword in the middle. Let's see where you can escape!
Zhang Qingxiang curled his lips and escaped ten miles away? What's the use? This weirdness must be solved, otherwise the scene cannot be cracked.

Zhang Qingxiang secretly said that he was lucky, and threw the [Tiger General's Spear] in his hand, and a tentacle of the [Four Arms] behind him retracted the [Shield Leaf] and wrapped it around the spear.

[Shield Leaf] suffered heavy damage before and has not fully recovered yet, so its defense is limited.

Zhang Qingxiang grabbed his hand and [Feng Tianshuo] appeared!
The sixth level secret weapon is extraordinary! Moreover, the secret fire chi among them also has the ability to control flames.

Director Ding said that it was useless to see through the secrets of the trinity of the sun, the giant sword, and the mountain god, because he was unable to defeat them.

Ma Manluo and Dr. Liu thought it made sense at the time.

Isn't it ridiculous?

How could accurate intelligence be useless on the battlefield?

For example: Zhang Qingxiang can tell from this that the highest of these three does not exceed the sixth level.

Everything in the mountain village is very strange. If it is caused by a mystery, then this mystery is most likely to be level 7, or even level 8!
Then Zhang Qingxiang shouldn't expect anything. He took Shi Fangjie with him and found a place to hide until the end of the scene.

With [No. 010] here, Zhang Qingxiang's self-protection shouldn't be a problem, but rescuing others should not be a problem.

Zhang Qingxiang entered this scene with [Feng Tianshuo], but he still used [Tiger General's Spear] to fight against the enemy; he also wanted to find out what the level of these weird mountain gods was.

If it is level six, then take out [Feng Tianshuo] and fight hard.

If it is level seven or above... Hurry up and hide [Feng Tianshuo] tightly, and don't show strong power, so as not to be targeted by the mystery in the scene. Then try to survive until the scene is over.

After making this judgment, Zhang Qingxiang also made preliminary inferences about the ghost traces.

[Feng Tianshuo] pointed at the mountain giant ape, and a powerful "Secret Fire Chi" roared out from Shuofeng, spreading its teeth and claws in the void, releasing blazing fire.

boom!
Before Zhang Qingxiang and the Mountain Giant Ape had a real duel, the Secret Fire Chi and the Sun Fire Network collided, causing intense energy fluctuations. More and more turbulent flames burst out, instantly submerging everything around them.

The villagers in the distance were too scared to look. They were part of this mysterious scene, but their level was so low that they didn't even realize that they were "weird."

They still think of themselves as sword makers and followers of the mountain god.

There was even an old man who looked like a squire in the village, prostrate on the ground, muttering to himself: "To offend the gods in this way is actually a way to die!"

Shi Fangjie and others had already retreated to the villagers, and the fighting was limited to the original mountains.

When they saw the sea of ​​fire drowning Zhang Qingxiang and the mountain giant ape, their hearts suddenly sank.

No matter how you look at this scene, the mountain giant ape has the upper hand.

But the flames gradually dispersed, and a secret fire chi suddenly jumped out of it.

　Updates are unstable these days, please forgive me.
