brother of space

Before coming here, only hearing the name Zhujiawa, I thought it was a small village with only a dozen or dozens of families.It was only when I arrived that I realized that Zhujiawa was so small. Although it looked scattered and sparse, it formed a large area. At a glance, I could still estimate that there were at least three or four hundred families.

It is also said that it is a village near the foot of the mountain. With the impression of the county and Xiaozhuang Town, it is estimated that this place should also be a piece of dusty mud-tiled houses, but it turned out to be dusty, but in terms of housing construction, it is not the same as here. The Xiaozhuang town they passed by before is also worth a fight.Because at first glance, in this village close to the mountains, not to mention many newly built red brick buildings, you can also see many non-modern buildings.

"...This village is the largest nearby village. There are many ancient buildings in it. It is said that it can be traced back to the Ming Dynasty. There were only a few dozen families here a few decades ago, and the number gradually increased in the 50s. Yes. The population used to be 370 people, including migrant workers, and now it is 350 people." Major General Qin Mian, the commander-in-chief of the Guoan operation, introduced the cultural environment and cultural environment here to Dongfang Yao, Zhang Jin and others. History, while leading people to Guoan's temporary headquarters here.

Guoan’s temporary base here is on the rice field in the middle of the entire village of Zhujiawa, and the headquarters is in a yard near the rice field. It is said that this is the village committee of the village.

"...This village committee manages a total of six natural villages, of which the second, third and fourth groups are behind Zhujiawa, and the other three villages have branches in other places. This incident happened in these three villages. At the beginning, it was said that an old man herding cattle discovered the robbery hole of the ancient tomb in the mountains, and then secretly brought the things back, sold them for a lot of money, and built a new house. People's crazy tomb robbery. The old cattle herding man's family was also the first to show symptoms."

"I would like to ask, are the more than 20 people who died all because of this ancient tomb?" Dongfang Yao asked, glancing at the large village behind the village committee.

Qin Mian nodded: "That's right. At the beginning, those who died from the infection were all teenagers. When someone found out that something was wrong and wanted to exchange the things back, those who returned the things couldn't come back."

Dongfang Yao frowned, the news was really unlikable.

"...What clues does Guoan have now?"

Qin Mian smiled wryly and looked down at the ground, then raised his head and sniffed hard, blinked his eyes, turned suddenly to look at Dongfang Yao and said, "I didn't find anything."

"?" Dongfang Yao, Zhang Jin and others were stunned.

With red eyes, Qin Mian took a deep breath and said, "Because none of the people sent out came back."

(⊙o⊙) What!Dongfang Yao, Zhang Jin and the two guardians of Qianjimen were all stunned.

Qin Mian seemed to be afraid that the excitement would not be enough. After a long while on the warriors who had just arrived and were still wandering around behind a few people with confused eyes, he said with a choked voice: "We, we, we at least this time Already, 67 comrades have been sacrificed in the operation."

67 national security personnel!

As if he felt that since he had already spoken, he would have no scruples about what to say next, Qin Mian continued: "...I was not responsible for this incident at the beginning, but a lieutenant general from our Guoan after the mid-term Huajin, On the second day after the first investigation team sent back the information, he personally led the team to command. But three days ago, because of more than 30 comrades, the lieutenant general personally led the team into that place because there was no news after entering the mountain... ..."

"You sent the 24 people later?" Dongfang Yao asked.

Qin Mian stared at Dongfang Yao and nodded for a while: "You can say that."

You can say that?That is, 'you can't say that either'.Dongfang Yao could see from Qin Mian's eyes that he was trying to hide that there might be another reason for this matter.It's just that this is an internal matter of Guoan. He has just joined the job and can only be regarded as a non-staff personnel. He really can't control it.

"This matter..." After everyone was silent for a while, Dongfang Yao looked at the three-story white small corridor opposite, "Even if hundreds of ancient warriors came here this time, I'm afraid it won't help."

Major General Qin Mian didn't speak. Why didn't he understand that among the more than 60 people who died in Guoan, at least five of them were masters in the Huajin stage.General Shen has entered the middle stage of Huajin.

But what is the use of understanding?The virus has begun to spread to the outside of Zhujiawa, and the medical staff who came to support have found suspected 'virus' infected people in the town.The sad thing is that because of the excessive sacrifice in the early stage, there have been internal differences in Guoan, and it has been somewhat weak in the future.

In this case, let those dark energy warriors come over, and the fool knows what the result will be.

But, he can't help it either!Some things have to be sacrificed, right?

"I think your approach was wrong from the very beginning." Dongfang Yao stared at Qin Mian who was full of guilt and said bluntly, "You have concealed it from the beginning, and even deliberately waited until the end of the ancient martial arts gathering in order to attract warriors. Let everyone I thought this incident was just like that, but what’s the use? Apart from sacrificing these people, the result may not change a bit, and it may even miss the best time to crack it.”

"... Among the ancient warriors, there are many warlock families. I want to hold a short meeting later." After a long silence, Qin Mian looked up at the two people from Qianjimen and Dongfang Yao, "I hope you two can be generous. I also hope that Mr. Dongfang can go there with the selected warlock."

Dongfang Yao closed his eyes, and said with a straight face: "I have no problem, I just hope that General Qin can speak the truth in the meeting, and don't let those fighters get confused, and then let people harvest it like Chinese cabbage."

"...I understand." Qin Mian frowned before letting go.

His movements are very subtle, and even those who see him may not necessarily know why he does such movements, but no matter who are experienced in the world, or those who have inherited facial physiognomy, they can all see his reluctance.

Zhang Jin moved two steps and grabbed Dongfang Yao: "Brother Yao, I..."

"Mr. Zhang, you don't have to go." Before Zhang Jin could finish speaking, Major General Qin suddenly interrupted, "I got your information, and you seem to be underage. I personally think you should avoid this matter. good."

"……"taboo?How can he avoid it even when he is here?Zhang Jin suddenly felt that the person in front of him was very annoying, and he almost rolled his eyes at him.But in the end he didn't speak to the other party.Because he discovered from the very beginning that the person in front of him didn't take him seriously at all, and if he said something bad, he would feel even more childish.

Dongfang Yao smiled: "General Qin doesn't need to ask about Xiaojin's affairs, and thank you for your kindness."

Well!Qin Mian originally thought that by keeping Zhang Jin with good intentions, he was trying to sell Dongfang Yao and the people from Qianjimen, but now listening to Dongfangyao's words and looking at the two people from Qianjimen, he felt faintly that his flattery was It was photographed on the horse's leg.

"General Qin, you are back." Several people were talking, a Taoist in Tsing Yi who looked about 50 years old with a red face, strode out from the gate of the three-story small white building, behind him Followed by several warriors of different ages, "Pindao is going to find you."

"Master Mingguang." Qin Mian nodded kindly to the people walking towards him.

"General Qin, didn't you ask me to meet some warlocks before? Look, these families have a very long and complete inheritance. The elders also have a very close friendship with my senior brother Mingyuan. It is to discuss Taoist classics with each other..." The Taoist who was called Mingguang Taoist was about to introduce the people behind him, his eyes suddenly turned, and he laughed as if he had just discovered Zhang Jin and others, "Oh, you Look at me, haha, did I interrupt your conversation?"

So fake!Zhang Jin said silently in her heart.

As if sensing that Zhang Jin was slandering him, the Taoist Mingguang suddenly looked at Zhang Jin, there seemed to be a flash of light in his eyes, and then he showed a kind smile.

this person--

Displeasure flashed across Zhang Jin's heart.

"No, we're almost done talking here." Qin Mian smiled, then turned to Dongfang Yao and the others, "Then Mr. Dongfang, Mr. Zhang, we will meet later."

"En. General Qin, go slowly." Dongfang Yao nodded.

"Dongfang?" Hearing Qin Mian's words, the Taoist Mingguang babbled.

Qin Mian looked puzzled: "Why, Taoist Master Mingguang knows Mr. Dongfang?"

Daoist Mingguang raised his head, squinted his eyes to look carefully at Dongfang Yao's face, and shook his head: "I don't know, at least I don't know this one, I don't know which one of the Dongfang family's descendants are you?"

Dongfang Yao smiled, bowed his hands politely and said, "Master Mingguang is polite, my grandfather is Dongfang Wen."

Oriental smell?The mysterious third elder of the Dongfang family?Didn't it mean that that tempered old man has no descendants?Taoist Mingguang slandered in his heart.

Daoist Mingguang took another careful look at Dongfang Yao. He was not familiar with the elders of the Dongfang family. After all, at his age, they basically belonged to his father's generation at least, so he shook his head sighing and said: "Hey, the younger generation is awesome! We old guys should also reach the age of retirement."

Dongfang Yao just smiled, but didn't answer, because he was not familiar with him after all.Everyone hesitated for a while, and Dongfang Yao said goodbye first.

Qin Mian and Daoist Ming Guang stood at the gate of Xiaobailou and watched the few people leave, then turned around and called the warlocks behind them to walk into the yard together.

"General Qin, this young man from the Dongfang family is not simple!" said Ming Guangdao, "I didn't realize his cultivation."

Qin Mian glanced at Daoist Ming Guang and said with a smile, "How come? I heard that Daoist Ming Guang is already a land god at the sixth level of Qi training."

Ming Guang shook his head: "So what about the sixth level of Qi refining! Converted into ancient martial arts, it is just the cultivation base of the late stage of Huajin. Isn't a little doll who is not full of others also at the sixth level of Qi refining? It was placed in the world of cultivating immortals thousands of years ago. , this kind of cultivation has not even entered the door of cultivating immortals."

"Haha, then we are all mortals." A warlock who looked about fifty or sixty years old laughed and said, "Master Mingguang, don't belittle yourself! In today's ancient martial arts world, let alone your cultivation There are only a handful of those who have spiritual power and the fifth level of refining equipment, and this late stage of body cultivation, alas, can be counted on one hand."

"That's not true! The ancient martial arts world is withering so badly!" The other warlocks agreed.

"Now I want to say that the leader of the entire martial arts master is none other than the Shangqing Palace. The inheritance of the Shangqing Palace is also recognized as the most complete in the martial arts."

"That's right! Otherwise, Daoist Mingyuan wouldn't be able to become a martial arts legend."

"Haha, what do you mean by praising my senior brother and patting my horse in the Shangqing Palace like this? Oh? I understand, you envy my senior brother so much, do you want to take the opportunity to spy on my Shangqing Palace? Inheritance?" Daoist Ming Guang smiled and pointed his fingers.

"Haha!" The person who spoke first shook his head: "Yes, it's a pity that I can't learn it even if I spy."

"That's not right, back then... cough cough cough!" The speaker seemed to think of something, and cut off the conversation immediately. "Sorry, look at my mouth."

"It's okay, it's all in the past. Compared with the Zhang family, the medical sage back then, I am definitely better." Daoist Mingguang waved his hand, and then directly changed the subject, "General Qin, this is about to happen soon." It's noon, how do you see the arrangement today?"

"Let's have a meeting first. We need to discuss this matter carefully. After all, I don't know how to use spells. I'm afraid I'll have to rely on the senior experts in front of me." Qin Mian respectfully said to the few people in front of him. .

Several warlocks responded modestly: "General Qin, you are welcome. Since we are Chinese citizens, we must always be prepared to contribute to the country. The higher the ability, the greater the responsibility, right?"

"Hehe, Qin thanked you in advance." I hope that when you know the truth, you can also make such selfless dedication.
