Tian Gang Chapter 206 Kunlun (2)
Let’s get started, said the old man from Yuanling.
The two witch doctors standing on both sides nodded, their lips trembling. I saw two tiny green worms crawling out from their free hands and fell directly into the soil. Looking at their hands again, there were no scars at all, as if the worms crawling out of their palms just now were just my illusion.
After the two caterpillars entered the ground, we did not take any other action. All that was left was to wait.
The two old witches closed their eyes, as if sensing something. The space around them could be seen to be trembling slightly, but not violently. Obviously, all the power they had came from this world of nothingness.
Fortunately , they are not experienced and would not use fire dragons or golden swords at will. Otherwise, I would not be able to last even for a few minutes, let alone several hours.
After standing next to the stone tablet for a full hour and a half, the old witch on my right suddenly opened his eyes, and then the other one groaned and opened his eyes.
How is it? asked the old man from Yuanling.
The old man who opened his eyes first spread his hands, and I was surprised to find that there was half a green worm lying in his palm. There was no blood, only a faint black gas floating around the wound.
Discovered? The old man from Yuanling frowned.
The old man on the right nodded, closed his palms, wrapped the green worm, and said in a hoarse and old voice: They hid very deep, and I don't know how to get in. But if you want to dig them out, it's not easy...
The old witch on the left coughed violently and said: I saw a formation plate carved with black jade. The power was evil and my poisonous insect was shattered when it approached less than 20 meters.
I was a little surprised and asked: Wouldn't this alert the enemy?
Of course, but it doesn't matter. The old man from Yuanling said: The news of the cult's activities here is known to everyone, and they naturally know that it will not be peaceful. We just need to ensure our own safety, and it's nothing to alarm them. But how did those guys get underground? Is there an underground entrance here?
The Yuanling old man talked to himself for a while, and then asked the Taoist priest: Can the Five Elements Taoism detect underground passages?
Yes. The Taoist nodded and said: But the chance of being discovered is higher.
That's fine. The old man from Yuanling shook his head: If they find out, even if there is a passage, it will probably be blocked immediately. But think about it, with the Jiuqiu clan standing behind them, it shouldn't be difficult to get into the underground.
So what do we do now? I asked.
After thinking for a while, the old man from Yuanling said: Since the cult chose this place, there must be something strange. Let's look for it ourselves first. Besides, I don't believe that all of them have gone underground. There must be some who are left alone.
This was the last resort. After all, we came here secretly. If we showed up openly, we would be besieged by the cult. As for the purpose of the siege, it would definitely be to kill you and not let you go home.
I don't believe that the Jiuqiu clan will let me go just because I am the descendant of the Eight Ropes. Even my mother was besieged by them, what else can these people not dare to do?
However, we searched for a long time near the Unfrozen Spring but didn't find anything strange.
This place is like other tundra, thick and solid, like steel. Even in the void, we can only sink about ten meters before we can no longer move.
Not finding anything, the old man from Yuanling spat in dismay and said: These wolf cubs are lucky that they couldn't get anything out of the ordinary.
After that, we waited there for a long time, but no one from the cult showed up.
All in all, it took six or seven hours, and it was almost dawn.
The void space began to shake, which meant that my Taoist power was about to be exhausted and I had to evacuate temporarily.
However, just as we were about to leave, several cars suddenly stopped on the Qinghai-Tibet Highway not far away.
Among them are sedans, off-road vehicles, and large buses.
Many people got out of their cars, some strolled leisurely, some ran over here carrying a lot of equipment. Some lit cigarettes and shouted: Hurry up, hurry up!
Several of us stopped and watched them busying themselves around the Unfrozen Spring.
What's going on? I asked quietly.
The old Taoist priest was standing next to him. He shook his head and said, “I don’t know.”
This answer was tantamount to nonsense, and as time went by, the other party's purpose became clearer and clearer. When the moving track was laid on the ground and the cameras of various angles were pulled, I immediately realized that this was a film and television crew.
Several sweet-looking girls wearing ethnic minority costumes came over, their decorations jingling. A man wearing a big cotton-padded jacket sat on the car, holding a loudspeaker and shouting: Hurry up, the sun will rise soon. You must complete this set of movements as soon as possible, don't waste my time, and don't waste your time. Time is money, money is life, waste my money, I will take your life!
I was shocked when I heard this. Is this still a director? He is just like a bandit who kills people without blinking an eye.
The people around him seemed to be used to his style, and some even laughed. The young girls walked to the Unfrozen Spring, and someone placed something behind them. It was black and pointed upwards, and no one knew what it was used for.
Following the order from the other side, all kinds of lights, music, and singing started. I saw those girls dancing to the music, their singing was beautiful, and they were beautiful too.
Under their feet, those black pipes suddenly emitted white gas, and lights of various colors were shining inside. Watching those girls dancing gracefully, as if dancing in the clouds, I couldn't help but think of Journey to the West...
At this moment, the Taoist priest and the old man from Yuanling suddenly uttered a sigh. I looked at them and saw that they were both looking towards the Unfrozen Spring.
At this time, the white gas had already overflowed the spring water, and the lights were shining in that direction, colorful and creating the atmosphere of a costume drama.
But in the void space, the field of vision has changed, and there are more things that can be seen.
I clearly saw that underneath the white mist, there were lights of different colors shining, not artificial lights, but lights that seemed to be shining from under the spring.
What is that? I couldn't help asking.
I don’t know. The old man from Yuanling said: But apart from those wolf cubs, no one else is tinkering with these.
He glanced at the crew performing in front and said: It seems that they have made sufficient preparations. They probably want to hide it from the local government to avoid attracting military intervention.
The army is not as scary as the practitioners, so many people are coming... I retorted.
In a normal fight, cultivators are naturally more terrifying. The old man from Yuanling said: But the army has modern weapons, and even though they are hiding tens or even hundreds of meters underground, it is too easy for the army to blow them out.
What's more... Old Man Yuanling narrowed his eyes, snorted , and said: The allied forces of the cultivators will arrive soon, and then this place will become a place of trouble. If the army intervenes, without knowing the truth, the first people they will attack will be the cultivators, which will actually help them.
What should we do then? Should we get rid of this crew? I asked.
If we really destroy them, it will definitely attract the attention of the government, and the cult will be more cautious if they want to take action. But... the old man from Yuanling curled his lips: Why should we be the first to stand out? Evildoers will be punished by their own evildoers, so don't worry too much.
Well... I glanced at the crew who were still shouting and asked, "What should we do now? Just watch from here?"
Let’s go and sink into the ground to see if we can find anything, said the old man from Yuanling.
I nodded, led them into the Unfrozen Spring, and slowly sank underground.
From the void of space, you can still see those constantly flickering light beams. These lights are very strange, as if they are not blocked by the ground and come straight out from deep underground.
We sank ten meters, but we couldn't even see the source of the light pillars. The only thing we found was that these light pillars were also moving, not fixed.
What on earth is this? A cult formation? Or something else?
After finding nothing more, we returned to the ground and left the Unfrozen Spring. The slowly floating, clear singing voice suddenly gave people a desolate feeling. The crew still performing behind us seemed to have opened the curtain for this fight.
However, the curtain is only half opened now. Everyone knows that there will be a fight later, but no one knows what is hidden behind the other half of the curtain.
I don’t know either, so I can only continue to wait curiously.
For two days, the crew came to shoot at a fixed time every day. Occasionally, tourists who arrived early saw it, not only did they not doubt it, but they happily took up their cameras to take pictures of the actors. I have to admit that this method is simple and effective. At least for ordinary people, it is very difficult to see through it.
On the evening of the third day, a cloud of black smoke suddenly rose in the distance. Ordinary people could not see the smoke. The old man from Yuanling only looked back, then curled his lips and said: This group of people are really slow to come.
We were at least a hundred miles away from the Unfrozen Spring. Even at such a long distance, we could still see black smoke in the evening. The enemy's momentum was very strong. It was obvious that a large number of troops must have arrived.
However, the black smoke lingered around the Unfrozen Spring for a while, and then left after finding nothing.
There was no fight as imagined, because practitioners are not fools, and no one wants to help others for no reason before the arrival of the main force. The cult has its own plans to complete, so it also resolutely implements the tactic of not moving unless the enemy moves.
This was a bit boring. I had hoped that they would fight so that I could see what was under the Unfrozen Spring. But now, the two sides retreated after seeing each other like passers-by.
What surprised me the most was that on the fourth night, the crew unexpectedly came that night. They started filming right away, and set off countless fireworks during the process. However, under the brilliance of the fireworks, several beams of light shot up into the sky.
Immediately afterwards, figures began to gather everywhere.
The old man from Yuanling stood up and looked at the troubled place from afar. The old Taoist stood beside me, looking ahead, and whispered: It seems that it is about to begin.
