Modern Onmyoji

Chapter 131 Coming Soon
I stared blankly at Master. Although I came up with this idea myself, I still couldn't accept it after hearing Master's confession.The sky is too illusory. What is the sky?The sky as we understand it is just a vast and boundless universe, and it does not exist with any consciousness.How we fight it, or this angel refers to something.Some kind of organization with the code name of heaven, but Master's rhetorical ability is not enough to describe any organization as heaven.To be able to exist like the sky in his mouth, then how terrifying this organization should be.

Master looked at me quietly there, as if giving me time to savor his words.The night breeze was blowing, and the few of us just sat around the campfire in silence.I don't know how long it took before I raised my head and asked Master, "Master, what other plans do you have?"

"You have a good rest tonight, we will go into the mountain tomorrow." Master said.

"Master, what's in that mountain? These foreigners desperately want to enter the mountain, and you want to go in mysteriously now, tell me what's in there?" I said a little excitedly.

"You rest first, you will know when the time comes." Master stopped looking at me after finishing speaking, but turned to look up at the starry sky, as if he was deducing something.I know very well what Master deduces the secrets of heaven. I saw what Master did and I hurriedly wanted to stop it, because I knew very well that this is a sensitive area, and deducing the secrets here will be punished by heaven.However, it is obvious that the master has already started to deduce, and there is no punishment from heaven as imagined.Could it be that the crisis of divine punishment has been lifted?Thinking of this, I tried to deduce the gossip, but when I first tried to deduce it, there was another burst of thunder, and I hurriedly stopped.Master looked at me and said, "Zhao Jue, you can't deduce the secret here in the future, it has already locked you."

"Master, you asked me to come here to beat the thunder?" I said a little annoyed.

Master seemed to want to say something, but he still didn't say it. He just shook his head and said, "You will know later."

I know Master's temper. He is a man with secrets. I knew this ten years ago.I have tried to find out his secrets for ten years, but he will tell me directly what he wants me to know, and what he doesn't want me to know, no matter what I do, there will be no results, so I can only give up .My body still seems to be in pain, at least now I can be sure that Master will not harm me.Thinking of this, I was too lazy to think about it, and fell asleep directly.

In the early morning of the next day, the master woke me up, and I saw that he and the master uncle had already packed the equipment.Master said to me: "Zhao Jue, you have to go first on the road ahead. Your uncle and I will follow you about 10 kilometers behind. Don't ask why, just go."

I thought to myself, master, if you don't let me ask, how could I not ask, but since the master said so, I can't ask again.Although my heart felt like it was full of ants, I could only keep silent.At this time, I looked at Anya and Claude beside me, and I didn't know if they were still in a coma or not waking up.The uncle said on the side: "They will wake up in two hours, and you still need some help on the road ahead, so go up with them."

In this way, the master and uncle disappeared in the depths of the dense forest behind.I waited in the camp until the sun rose and people's bodies warmed by the sun, before Anya and Claude woke up.They also looked confused and asked me what happened before.All I can tell them is that the gunpowder explosion blew us out of the tomb.I gave them a brief treatment of the injury, and did not mention the matter of meeting Master.Although the master never asked me not to mention the things I met with them, we still have a tacit understanding after many years of master and apprentice.

The injuries of Anya and Claude are not too serious. We decided to rest for another day in place to fully recover from the injuries.What Master did is still replaying in my mind, and it is pure nonsense to say that I am not curious.It suddenly occurred to me that although Master didn't tell me, it is obvious that Master's purpose has something to do with Anya and the others.Why don't I start with Anya?Thinking of this, I found Anya again and said to her: "Anya, this action is too weird, I must know the purpose of your entering the mountain. If you don't tell me, I have no choice but to throw you all away." Here I go back by myself."

Anya shook her head and said, "It's not that I don't want to tell you. This operation is top secret in our company. Even I don't know the purpose of the company's board of directors."

"Then you know tell me the purpose of your operation this time, according to your plan, what are you going to do in the mountains." I said.

A look of hesitation flashed across Anya's face, she looked back at Claude who was still recuperating, and finally seemed to make a decision, "I only know that the company asked us to come this time, and required us to enter the last month at the end of the lunar calendar. In the ancient tomb on the mountain inside, there is an ancient book, we just need to bring the ancient book back, as for what is in the ancient book, I really don’t know.”

I thought about the relationship between ancient books and Master. Generally speaking, high-level tomb robbers like ancient books, because some ancient books record even older things, which may be the burial place of the former emperor.There was once a tomb robber who found a silk scroll in the tomb of a landlord, but he found a real imperial tomb based on the cipher text on the silk scroll.But that's only for ordinary high-level tomb robbers. According to my master, as long as you rely on Tianxing Fengshui, no imperial tomb in mainland China can escape his eyes.In other words, this ancient book records some ancient methods, in short, something that can arouse the interest of the master, and it is definitely a good thing that he did not hesitate to make him go through such a lot of trouble.

But then I am surprised, how can foreigners know such a good thing? China just started reforming and opening up in the 80s. Even if there are any major imperial tombs discovered at this time, they should first spread in the country and finally spread. into the ears of foreigners.It seems that the company behind Anya is not simple, so after a day's rest, we have recovered seven or eight levels of physical strength.Let's check the equipment again, because there are already more than 30 people, so the supplies and the like are still very rich.However, all the gunpowder we brought had been detonated by the sky thunder in the tomb of the beast king, which means that if the ancient tomb is buried deep in the mountain, we need to use the oldest method to dig it.Of course, I don't know what master has behind me.

Not much to say, I, Anya, and Claude rearranged their equipment and continued on the road.In the days that followed I had to be more careful, as if some mechanism had been activated.The Black Ghost Mountain that I was familiar with before became more dangerous, and the dense jungle seemed to be filled with countless strange armors.There are fewer and fewer safe areas for people to pass through Fengshui Mountain, and I dare not deduce the secrets at will.All in all, it's been a tough journey.After five days, we finally came to the deepest part of Black Ghost Mountain.This is a mountain with an altitude of less than 1000 meters. Master took me there only once, and that time we just passed by and did not really go up the mountain.Master only said that if possible, I hope that I will never climb this mountain, but today I don't know whether it is Master's arrangement or a coincidence of fate. I still want to climb it.

But when I was about to climb the mountain, I was a little dumbfounded, because I had never climbed this mountain, let alone heard of any ancient tombs here.So I don't know how to lead the team. I told Anya about the situation, and she didn't seem surprised.Just asking me "If you usually plan to steal this mountain, how do you find the location of the ancient tomb?"

I thought for a while and said, "Generally speaking, you can find the treasure cave of the dragon's veins as long as you look at the mountain from a distance. But now..." I raised my head and looked at the mountain peak. I don't know if it's a coincidence or some kind of power. Pushing forward, the sky, which was originally clear, was now covered with overcast clouds.At the same time, a cloud of mist descended from the top of the mountain. The mist seemed to have a bloody smell, like a river of blood that broke its embankment, rushing down from the top of the mountain.In this case, I have no way to see the whole face of the mountain.
