Chapter 6 The Light(1/2)
The rain fell all day, but the online meeting that Xiang Ling attended lasted until dawn the next day.
It was just this morning that the rain in the island city had just stopped. The demon island did not reach the nearest Goryeo Peninsula as some expert speculated. Instead, it turned around and came west.
Although the speed is not fast, it will only take a few days to reach the territorial waters of Dayong.
During lunch, the atmosphere in the Supervisor's Office was not as relaxed as before. People who could stare at the big screen could be seen everywhere, and there were more whispers and their faces were solemn.
Yuanxing and Li Xiuyao walked into the cafeteria together and unexpectedly saw Xia Xiaonan. It turned out that she had also received the order and rushed back.
"I have been in Japan for eight years. I thought that with our assistance, the situation would improve, but as soon as the demon island appeared, all efforts were ruined." Xia Xiaonan kept picking up the vegetables on the plate, with a gloomy expression: "I am the Dayong man who withdrew from Tokyo on a large scale when the demon island invaded Tokyo. Too many people were sacrificed in that battle."
Yuanxing and Li Xiuyao looked at each other and sighed and speechless. Because they had already received news, the rescue team climbed to the prosperous Tokyo in the past and found that there were no living people there.
Just as he was sighing, a man in uniform suddenly broke into the cafeteria, walked quickly to the wall-mounted TV, and began to fiddle with him.
"What's wrong?" someone asked.
The man in uniform was busy with his hands and quickly replied: "The Eastern Theater Command just launched two missiles carrying nuclear warheads for a tentative strike."
"Wow", now no one is in the mood to have a meal, and they all come over.
Not long after, the big screen finally changed. On the endless sea, two slender missiles sprayed with tail flames were sweeping quickly from the air, one after another. This was obviously a satellite image.
"Tested strike? If it works, will it launch more? Then don't think about seafood in the East China Sea in the next few years."
"As long as this thing can be eliminated, I would rather not eat seafood for the rest of my life." Someone echoed.
The missile's flight speed is extremely fast, and everyone is still talking about it. The outline of the demon island has appeared on the screen, blocked by thick fog, and the black piece in the picture is very conspicuous.
The cafeteria was quiet for a moment, and no one made any sound. Even Yuan Xing's hand that turned the rosary was stopped, staring at the screen for a moment.
However, the imagined collision and explosion did not occur.
Amid the screams of everyone, the black gas on the screen surged quickly, condensed into a huge human face, and opened its mouth and swallowed the missile.
The most lethal weapon of humanity today is unscientific, dull, and silent, just like two flies flying to the mouth of a lazy toad, being eaten, and then thereafter, it seems that it has never appeared.
Only that huge face was facing the sky, and the curved corner of the mouth was a great irony to the human beings who claimed to be civilized and prosperous.
"¥#%@..." There was an uproar, and immediately, shouts of scolding and regret were heard throughout every corner of the cafeteria.
Yuan Xing was not the case. He only stared at the hideous red eyes on the screen. Even though he was passing through the screen, he could still feel the madness and tyranny.
He was so impressed by those eyes.
At this time, Xia Xiaonan, who was standing beside him, stood up: "The attack failed, and the upper party may be quarreling for a while, I have to go and explore the situation." After that, he was about to leave.
Yuan Xing stopped her: "Master Xia, can you arrange it? I am going to visit Funiu Mountain."
"Now?" Xia Xiaonan was stunned.
Yuan Xing looked at her with a very solemn expression: "This matter is very important, the faster the better."
Xia Xiaonan hesitated slightly and nodded in agreement.
"Amitabha." Yuan Xing folded his hands and bowed. He wanted to know how the demon seeds that were sealed in Funiu Mountain appeared in Japan.
----------------
Xia Xiaonan is currently at a high level in the Guard Office, and Yuanxing is the top position of Dayong. Their request was quickly approved by the court.
Despite this tense moment, the Supervisor and Guard Office dispatched a helicopter to carry Yuan Xing and Xia Xiaonan who had to follow him to Funiu Mountain.
Sitting in a military helicopter is not comfortable, but wearing noise-cancelling headphones and looking down at the beautiful rivers and mountains below is also a unique flavor.
But at this moment, the people on the plane did not feel like enjoying the beautiful scenery.
Xia Xiaonan held the tablet in her hand, paying attention to the dynamics of the demon island while paying attention to the progress of the emergency meeting of Kyoto experts.
When the time moves, the eyes slightly close, as if they are sleeping, and the rosary held in the hand rotates regularly.
I don’t know how long it took, the driver’s voice came from the headphones: “I have arrived at the Funiu Mountain range.”
Yuan Xing then opened his eyes and opened the cabin door of the plane. Then, under Xia Xiaonan's nervous gaze, half of his body poked out of the cabin, reached out to make a fishing move, and then sat back.
Xia Xiaonan saw an oval thing lying quietly in the monk's unfolding palm, radiating brightly like a gem.
She wanted to look carefully, but in the blink of an eye, the stone gradually disappeared, as if it had never appeared.
"What is that?" She finally expressed her question.
Yuan Xing just smiled and did not answer, but closed his eyes again.
"It's mysterious and I don't understand." Xia Xiaonan muttered, and saw that the cabin door opposite was still open, and the wind pouring in made people feel extremely uncomfortable, so she wanted to stand up and close the door.
As soon as she unbuttoned her seat belt, her eyes lit up again. She saw that the beads that had been clenched by Yuan Xing and were floating in the air at this moment, and the beads were successively shining dazzling brilliance.
She looked closely and found that the originally smooth and round texture of each bead had disappeared, and the lines were no longer visible, but instead became as transparent as crystal in the glimmer of light. You could vaguely see the appearance of mountains, rivers, streets, grasslands and deep valleys inside.
But before she could see carefully, Yuan Xing whispered the word "go". In an instant, the red rope broke, and the suspended beads turned into flowing light and flew out of the cabin in turn, and disappeared in the blink of an eye. Only the five beads seemed to have not changed, and they were taken into his hand when they fell down.
He shook his head and sighed, "Let's go back."
Xia Xiaonan was extremely shocked and wanted to ask in detail, but at this time Yuan Xing closed her eyes. She glanced at the two drivers in front of her, thought for a while, and suppressed her doubts.
In the helicopter returning to the flight, Yuan Xing seemed to be sleeping, but in fact his mind was communicating with the Jin cicada who had not seen for a long time.
"It turns out that it was not successful six hundred years ago. The devil actually changed his routine and went overseas to develop." After understanding some of the situation, Yuan Xing sighed in his heart: "Do you have to seal it again as before?"
"It may not be easy this time. It has been hidden for so long, and it is estimated that its true body has already arrived in this world. Fortunately, there is still a little variable, and this world will not fall into destruction." Since it is complete, even if the energy is not enough, the golden cicada does not have to talk to the fate through words like in the past, and his voice will appear directly in the mind.
"A superpower?" Yuan Xing asked.
"Yes, the tree man who gave birth to you is really a genius. After I merged with my partner, I found that she stored many strange seeds in it, most of which were suitable for human genetic construction. As early as hundreds of years ago, these seeds had spread to various places through the spiritual veins, and only after the spiritual energy revived began to take root and sprout, so there were so many psychics in the world."
"So that's it." Yuan Xing suddenly realized, and he said that the spiritual energy had not been revived for a long time. There was no reason why so many psychics appeared at once. It turned out that there was this relationship behind it: "This is really a cycle of cause and effect, and all have a fixed number. But..." He said hesitantly: "Although my monk's cultivation at this time has reached the limit of this world, if it is compared with the demon, it may be worse than that. It seems that he can only find another way."
"Do you want to completely seal the other party?" Jin Chan conveyed a surprised feeling.
"Try it, what's the point?" Yuan Xing smiled.
Before he knew it, the helicopter had arrived above the island city. Yuan Xing came to his senses and glanced out the window, frowned.
In just a moment, he saw several military helicopters passing by.
As if he saw his doubts, Xia Xiaonan on the side explained: "I received the news half an hour ago that according to the direction of the demon island, if it does not change direction, the first thing I contact is the Jiaodong Peninsula. For safety reasons, all nearby troops are close to the coast, and the court is ready to evacuate all civilians."
Yuan Xing's expression couldn't help but change.
After waiting for the plane, he led Xia Xiaonan to a secret corner and said, "I left behind thirteen secret realms. Those who are destined to enter it will receive a inheritance after passing the test..."
Xia Xiaonan looked at him in surprise. Logically speaking, she had seen many magical things in the Guard Mansion for so many years, like the ones in Yuanxing's description, and she had never heard of them. But for some reason, when she remembered the scene she had seen before, she completely believed it and couldn't help asking: "Where did you arrange those secret realms?"
"If you say it too clearly, how could it be an opportunity?" Yuan Xing shook his head with a smile, then sighed: "It's a pity that the time is too short and it's not all refined. There are only these thirteen places, which is really a fate."
In fact, these thirteen Buddhist beads were refined into thirteen secret realms by him. They have now been scattered to various places in Dayong, and the specific locations are completely random, and even he himself does not know.
If a person with a destiny passes the test, he will obtain a precious inheritance. Most of the secrets of martial arts collected by Huaizhen are placed in. What can be obtained depends on everyone's blessing...
Xia Xiaonan rushed away quickly, while Yuanxing borrowed a quiet secret room and stayed there for most of the day.
The outside world, the official media reported a lot of tragic events that happened in Japan, and at the same time announced to the public the various incidents caused by the revival of spiritual energy that have occurred in recent years.
Although the news on the Internet was full of fire and the recovery of spiritual energy was a semi-public secret, the official frank announcement still caused some panic. Fortunately, the court was prepared so that there was no great turmoil.
Faced with an unprecedented crisis, the island city and several nearby cities with risky places were implemented by the court. The military and the government cooperated and began to evacuate civilians one by one in an orderly manner.
When Yuanxing adjusted his state from the secret room, it was almost early in the morning. Compared with the previous one, the atmosphere in the Supervisor's Office building became obviously tense.
The staff coming and going all walked like the wind and looked solemn.
He came to the conference room, and noisy talk came from the closed door, as if there were many people.
Yuan Xing did not push the door, but turned around and headed towards the gate of the Guardian Mansion.
When I passed by the cafeteria, I glanced at him and saw Li Xiuyao drinking alone with the peanuts on the plate. I wanted to leave directly, but after thinking about it, I still stepped in.
Because it is a special period, there are always people who can arrive in the middle of the night and go hungry, so the canteen here starts to serve meals for 24 hours.
It was too late at this moment, and there were only a few people eating in Noda's lobby.
"Master is out of seclusion?" Li Xiuyao sipped wine, and there was no expression on his face. Anyway, he was just unhappy.
"I am going to meet the demon island alone." Yuan Xing went straight to the topic and originally planned to say hello to Xiang Ling or Xia Xiaonan, but they were having a meeting, so it was not easy to disturb him.
But I just left like this, and I was afraid that the official deployment would be disrupted. Now I saw Master Li and I could do it. I could just pass on a message.
Li Xiuyao was shocked: "You go by yourself? That thing is not easy to deal with."
"It's okay, even if I can't beat it, I can escape safely." Yuan Xing said with a smile.
"But how did you get there? The demon island is far away from the shore. Now that ships are prohibited from going into the sea, the Supervisor's Office will definitely not agree." Li Xiuyao stared at him for a moment and advised: "It's better to wait for everyone to act together, and it's better to grasp it."
Many things were difficult to explain, and Yuanxing was not in the mood to persuade others. Since he had finished speaking, he turned around and picked up the alloy stick that he had placed here.
Li Xiuyao stood up and followed. He didn't want to see his friend take risks alone, but when he saw that the other party seemed to have decided to leave, he just sighed: "How about I and you..." But before he finished speaking, the figure of the monk in front of him gradually became illusory and disappeared the next moment.
"It's broken." He beat his hands and rushed to find the head of the Supervisor's Office.
--------
Yuanxing appeared on the coast of the island city almost instantly. Unlike the city's light and shadow intertwined, it was pitch black here, and only the sound of waves was endless.
His spiritual sense was amazing, and he could already clearly feel the violent murderous intent rising from the eastern seas, and it seemed to be getting closer and stronger.
