When we woke up the next morning, Shana had regained her energy. After we freshened up, we went to the hotel front desk to check out and leave.
The train station in Chengdu was already crowded in the morning. We got off the taxi and squeezed into the crowd. Fortunately, we had already booked train tickets through the hotel's network yesterday. It also saved us the time of queuing up to sell tickets. With two train tickets in hand, we went through baggage inspection and went to the waiting room to wait for the time to board the train.
After repeated renovations, this Chengdu train station has become quite modern. The waiting room is all silvery white. Both the seats and counters are made of silvery white metal. When people walk inside, it feels like they are walking into the train station. It's like a scene from a science fiction movie.
Shana had never taken a train before, so she was very curious about the facilities in the train station along the way. She dragged me here and there, like a little girl, which made me secretly laugh.
Sitting on the chair in the waiting room, Shana looked around for a while, and then said: "This train station is much busier than the airport. To be honest, this is my first time taking a train, and I feel a little nervous."
I patted my forehead and said with a smile: "Miss, you have already been on a plane, why are you so nervous now to take a train? This train is much smoother than an airplane, but it takes a little longer. I I guess you won¡¯t be able to sit still for an hour, so you¡¯ll be impatient.¡±
Shana curled her lips, pretending to be angry, and then whispered in my ear: "Do you think the shadow will sneak into this train station?"
I looked around for a week. There were many people in the waiting room with different identities, but I couldn¡¯t see anything wrong with anyone.
"The shadow will definitely follow." I also lowered my voice and said, "But I don't think they dare to take action casually in this environment, but if they get on the train, it's hard to say, because at least there is a train station here. There are patrol policemen patrolling, but if they get on the train, I don¡¯t think the few police officers accompanying the train will be taken seriously by Shadow. Besides, the train space is limited. If they catch the opportunity, they will take advantage of the small space and no room for replay. If they attack us, our situation will be very dangerous, so when we get on the train, we try to sit as close to the window as possible, and if that doesn't work, we can break the window out."
"You are right." Shana held my arm and said with a smile, "The safety of this young lady will be left to you, Guard Wang, hehe."
"Yes." I put my arm around Shana's shoulders: "I will definitely protect you. You don't even know how much I was afraid of losing you last night. If something happened to you last night, I would blame myself to death. ."
Shana looked at me and said faintly: "I don't want you to blame yourself. As long as you avenge me and live happily, I will be relieved."
Suddenly, both of us fell into silence. Although people were coming and going around us, we felt like we were the only two people left in the world. I don¡¯t know how long this silence lasted, but it was interrupted by a series of cell phone ringtones. broken.
A name that surprised us was displayed on the screen of the mobile phone.
That is, emptiness!
Since we parted ways with Kong Kong in Huangshan City, we have lost contact with this young master of the Universal Zen Academy. He went straight to the Qing Palace on Kunlun Mountain under the orders of his master. Shangqing Palace and others are just like the Universal Zen Academy. Naturally, it is impossible to contact the place through mobile phones, and some Taoist sects have their own secret methods for contact. Therefore, even Shana does not know how to contact the Kunlun Shangqing Palace, so we have been looking for the void. But to no avail.
Unexpectedly, when we were about to leave for Chuxiong, Yunnan, Kong Kong took the initiative to contact us.
I answered the call, and a hollow and gentle voice came from the phone.
"Thunder, how are you doing lately?"
I almost laughed bitterly. First, I almost died in the time and space of the Ghost King Ling'er, and then I was repeatedly blocked by the shadows. It was really not easy to say, but the matter was over, so naturally I didn't want to say more to the void. What's more, I couldn't explain it clearly on the phone.
"Senior brother Kong Kong, we are finally safe and sound, but you, have you achieved anything in the Kunlun Shangqing Palace?"
Kong Kong heard something strange in my words and asked Qi: "Finally everything is safe? What, are you in trouble?"
I glanced at Xia Na and said with a knowing smile: "It's not a trouble, it's a big trouble. But it's a long story and I can't explain it in a few words. Let's talk about it when we meet."
"That's fine." Kong Kong agreed, "I was about to ask where you are now. Another friend and I are rushing to meet you. This trip to Kunlun has been fruitful."
"how do I say this?"
?There was a hint of excitement in his empty voice, which was very different from his usual calmness. He just heard him say: "There are three pieces of news for this trip to Kunlun. Which one do you want to hear first?"
I suddenly felt that I couldn't laugh or cry. When did this empty monk start to imitate other people's bad behavior of playing tricks on people's appetites? When I thought of his honest face, I couldn't connect with what he said at the moment, so I smiled and said: "Okay Okay, Senior Brother Kong Kong, don¡¯t whet our appetites, just tell us what news you have.¡±
Kong Kong also laughed dryly on the other end of the phone: "Don't laugh at me, I'm a little too excited now, because among these three pieces of news, the one that has the closest relationship with us and even the entire world is Shadow their purpose.¡±
When I heard that Kuang actually connected Shadow with the whole world, I couldn't help but feel nervous: "You can't tell me that Shadow and the others want to resurrect the demon god Chi You."
"I have discussed this with my colleagues in Kunlun, and I feel that there is an 80% chance that Shadow will do this." The hollow voice became slightly heavier: "The reason why we are so sure is that it will take ten years since the Shangqing Palace. I started paying attention to the Shadow organization before."
I knew that Kong Kong was about to get to the point, so I hurriedly dragged Xia Na to a relatively quiet corner and turned on the speaker. It was better for Xia Na to listen to such important things by herself.
An empty voice came from the mobile phone.
"Ten years ago, the reason why the Shangqing Palace paid attention to the Shadow organization was because the Shadows were looking for all kinds of ancient demon soldiers. You must know that no matter what kind of evil weapons and magic weapons, once they are in the ancient world, they all have great power. Powerful objects, if these ancient weapons fall into the hands of evil people, they will definitely cause trouble in the world. Therefore, after the Shangqing Palace noticed what Shadow was doing, it sent its disciples to monitor and investigate it. Unfortunately, although Shadow was There are only five people in the organization. It is not easy to find these five people in the vast crowd. Therefore, the Shangqing Palace has never been able to grasp the specific situation of the shadows. It only knows from the visions that appear one after another in various places that the shadows have discovered various Demon soldiers, back then, the Lord of Kunlun Palace was confused about the activities of the shadows, because since the birth of the demon soldiers, they have not seen any tricks in the world, but the demon soldiers are still an invisible threat. In order to find out what the shadows are so keen on For the purpose of discovering the magic soldiers, the master of Kunlun Palace changed the order of searching for the shadow to investigating the origin of the shadow. So after several years of investigation, recently, the Shangqing Palace finally discovered something valuable."
"What is it?" Shana and I asked almost in unison.
Kong Kong smiled and said: "Don't be impatient, listen to me slowly; during several years of investigation, because the whereabouts of its organization's personnel were uncertain and extremely scattered, the Shangqing Palace has been unable to find anything, but after several years of investigation, During the year of investigation, after spending a lot of manpower and material resources, Shangqing Palace discovered signs of a pattern of shadows."
I thought I finally got to the point. Judging from the shadow's whereabouts, once there are signs of regularity, it is very suspicious in itself.
¡°The Shangqing Palace discovered that during the Qingming Festival every year, all members of the Shadow Society appear in Hokkaido, Japan.¡±
"Hokkaido, Japan?" Shana and I looked at each other, wondering what they were doing there.
But Shana is much more attentive than me. After hearing what Kong Kong said, she immediately asked: "Brother Kong Kong, you said they appear every year during the Tomb-Sweeping Festival. Could it be that they are honoring someone in Hokkaido, Japan?"
After hearing this, Kong Kong praised: "Xia Na reacted really quickly. Yes, they are in Hokkaido just to pay homage to someone, and that person is the late wife of the shadow leader Jun Yeyue."
Dead wife?
I was stunned. I didn¡¯t expect that this cold and handsome man would be so affectionate towards his late wife. He would pay homage to his wife once a year. I thought he was a cold-hearted person, but I didn¡¯t expect that he had such a side. , but suddenly, an idea flashed in my mind, and I couldn't help but said hurriedly: "Brother Kong Kong, are you going to say that the reason why Shadow is looking for Chi You Stone, and even wants to resurrect Chi You, is related to Jun Yeyue, his deceased wife?"
"Hey, I didn't expect that Lei Lei's mind works very fast." A somewhat surprised voice came from the phone.
I was sweating after hearing this. Could it be that I gave him such a dull feeling before?
Xia Na covered her mouth and smiled softly, but Kong Kong continued on the phone.
"Thunder, you are right. Shadow wants to resurrect Chi You precisely for Jun Yeyue's deceased wife. After the disciples of Shangqing Palace learned about this rule, they launched an in-depth investigation in Hokkaido when Shadow left Japan after the memorial ceremony. This Next, they found some very valuable things for them. It turned out that Jun Yeyue and his wife had lived here for a long time when they were young. Jun Yeyue's wife was weak and changeable. Although she had a very great husband, she still could not survive. Over three yearsAt the age of 8, Jun Yeyue was cold-hearted by nature, but his love for his wife was deeper than the sea. After his wife died, Jun Yeyue was decadent for a period of time, drinking all day long. Later, he heard about Chi You from nowhere. According to Shi's rumors, I heard that the demon Chi You made a strong oath when he was killed by the Yellow Emperor, claiming that if there is a person who resurrects him in the future, Chi You will fulfill that person's wish, whether it is generals, ministers, emperors, princes, power or beauty. , can be realized, and hearing this news will undoubtedly give Jun Yeyue a hope, a hope of resurrecting his dead wife! "
"How is this possible?" Xia Na lost her voice and said: "Once a mortal dies, his soul is bound by Jiuyou Huangquan. Now Jun Yeyue's wife may have been reincarnated and reborn. Even the ancient demons cannot forcefully change this way of heaven. rule."
Xia Na¡¯s words made sense, but the hollow voice became heavier and heavier.
"Xia Na, you are right, but the reason why we judged this way is because we found that Jun Yeyue was fully prepared; Jun Yeyue paid a lot of money to let a hospital in Hokkaido provide medical care for her wife. After a full decade of corpse care and freezing services, Shangqing Palace also spent a huge amount of money and a lot of connections before being able to see this corpse. What is even more worrying is that the disciples of Shangqing Palace discovered on the corpse The fluctuations of the Soul Confinement Technique."
"Soul-forbidden Technique?"
Shana covered her mouth and whispered softly, but I didn't know what the Soul Confinement Technique was, but seeing Shana's surprised look, I knew that this kind of technique must not be simple.
Seeing my doubtful expression, Shana explained to me one by one.
"The so-called soul-forbidden technique is to use secret methods to forcibly restrain the souls of the dead and keep them in certain containers for many years. This Taoist technique was created for the purpose of resurrecting the dead. Forbidden souls The Soul Confinement Technique is different from other soul arresting spells. It is a spell that completely retains the integrity of the soul of the deceased. Moreover, the fluctuation of the Soul Confinement Technique can also hide the breath of the soul of the deceased, so as to hide it from the underworld and various restraints. The soul envoy¡¯s perception allows the soul to remain in the world forever and not enter reincarnation again.¡±
Kong Kong added on the side: "After the art of soul confinement was created, no one was able to create the art of resurrecting the dead. And some of our so-called soul-returning arts are only for the souls that have been infected by evil spells and drifted out of the body. It is designed for living people. Strictly speaking, the soul-returning technique can only resurrect living people whose souls have left the body, but cannot resurrect the dead who have expired. Therefore, the soul-forbidden technique has always been called the most useless forbidden technique. But unexpectedly, Jun Yeyue used this forbidden technique to preserve his wife's soul, and his purpose is self-evident."
"What does the Kunlun Shangqing Palace think of Shadow?" Shana asked.
"It goes without saying that we will do our best to stop it. You must know that once Chi You is resurrected, the world will be in chaos. No one wants to see this scene. Only a crazy person like Jun Yeyue would do such a thing to harm others and himself. Chi You is known as the Great Demon King. I don¡¯t think a demon would resurrect his dead wife for Jun Yeyue. What¡¯s more, even the demon can¡¯t go against the laws of heaven such as life and death.¡± Kong Kong said with certainty: ¡°It¡¯s because the Kunlun Shangqing Palace intends to Stop the Shadow, that¡¯s why I thought of contacting you, because you may be the key to the whole thing.¡±
"Is it Chi Youshi?"
"That's right." Kong Kong said, "After understanding Shadow's intentions, we know that Shadow was spreading ancient magic weapons everywhere just to have a better chance of winning when looking for Chiyou Stone. In fact, after it was proved that they had magic soldiers, I have successfully snatched two Chi You Stones from your hands, and Lei Ting still has one in his hand, so we decided after discussion that I and the masters sent by Shangqing Palace will join Lei Ting and you, and then use the Chi You Stone in Lei Ting's hand. Use them as bait to lure the shadows to appear and then deal with them in turn."
"When I heard that Kong Kong wanted to use Chi You Stone as bait, I couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"Senior Brother Kong Kong, you made a mistake just now. Now Shadow has not two Chiyou stones in his hand, but four!"
This time, it was Kong Kong¡¯s turn to speak in silence.
"What did you say? Why did Shadow suddenly have two more ones in his hand? Could it be that a new Chi You was born?"
"You're right." I sighed and said, "Recently we discovered another Chiyou Stone, but unfortunately, the leader of the shadows, Pluto Jun Yeyue, personally took action and not only snatched away the Chiyou Stone Go, and by the way, they also snatched the one in my hand, so they now have four Chiyou stones."
"So that's it. I didn't expect Jun Yeyue to take action himself." Kong sighed and said: "This Jun Yeyue is a very terrifying master. How can you still save your life even though Chi Youshi was robbed under his hands?" It's a great blessing among misfortunes. In order to deal with Jun Yeyue, a master, that's why the Shangqing Palace sent down the mountain their so-called best swordsman in three hundred years. This is the second news I want to tell you. I fought against a female swordsman named Ji Bingxin once., although I didn¡¯t try my best, I was defeated within a hundred moves, so she is really a trump card for us to deal with Jun Yeyue, but I didn¡¯t expect that you now have no bait to attract the shadow. I¡¯m afraid Our plans are about to change. "
Shana chuckled and said: "Brother Kong, there is no need to change your plan, because we still have the last Chi You Stone on hand, and because of this, we have been attacked by the shadows twice in succession."
"What, you have another Chi You Stone on hand." Kong Kong said with a wry smile: "This matter is too tortuous, it seems that my head can't turn around."
Hearing the empty words, I briefly told the story of how Shana got Chi Youshi: "Someone in the dream guided Shana to a place, so now we are preparing to go there."
¡°Well then, tell us your destination and we can meet up.¡±
"We are now preparing to take the train to Chuxiong City in Yunnan, Brother Kong Kong, otherwise we can meet up in Chuxiong City." Shana told Kong Kong our destination. If we can meet up with these two powerful helpers, then The strength of our side has increased several times out of thin air. In this way, even if all the Shadows are dispatched, we will not be in a situation of being beaten all the time.
"That's great. Let's meet in Chuxiong City and call us then."
After finishing the phone call, the sound of the train arriving at the station could be heard in the waiting room. Shana and I gathered our spirits, packed our luggage, and walked to the ticket office together.
There are no direct flights from Chengdu to Chuxiong, Yunnan. The ticket we bought was to transfer to Kunming. It takes about 20 hours from Chengdu to Kunming. This journey is quite long. Fortunately, we bought an air-conditioned soft sleeper. It's a bit long, but it's not too hard.
After arriving in Kunming, we only need to transfer to the shuttle bus from Kunming to Chuxiong and we will reach our destination in two hours.
The train bound for Kunming was put into use only a few years ago. The whole train adopts aerospace-style service. Not only is the train quite new, but the service is also good. As soon as we get on the train, a sweet-looking flight attendant will guide us to where we are. Because it is an air-conditioned soft sleeper train, the carriage is divided into compartments. Each compartment can accommodate four guests. The facilities in the compartment are quite comprehensive. In addition to daily necessities such as water bottles and cups, there are also hanging ones installed on the walls. Shana always praised the small LCD TV, saying it was much more interesting than flying.
Since not many people went to Kunming today, Shana and I were the only two people in our compartment. We were happy to be quiet, especially Shana who looked out the window with great interest all the way, watching the city or city passing by the train. Countryside.
The train traveled all the way through the countryside and the city. After watching it for a long time, Shana's interest gradually disappeared, and she finally fell asleep.
But I didn't dare to sleep much. After all, we were still being watched by shadows. Although there was no obvious trace of their presence on the train, since Shana was attacked last night, I no longer dared to be careless. I lightly covered myself with the quilt. After Shana got on me, I sat next to her and watched TV.
Time passed like this minute by minute. What surprised me was that when the train arrived at Kunming Station at about 6 o'clock in the morning the next day, we were not attacked by shadows again. Judging from the situation of the train, I thought they would definitely not let us go on this long journey, because this train gave them a lot of time and places to take advantage of, but the shadow never appeared.
But this situation only makes me feel more worried. They seem to be brewing something. I believe that the next time they appear, we will be overwhelmed.
After having a simple breakfast at the Kunming train station, we sat for more than half an hour before taking the train to Chuxiong. This time we would reach our destination in only two hours, so we did not take the soft sleeper. , but changed to a hard seat.
It's just that this train is not as comfortable as the one I took earlier, and there are many people crowded in the same carriage. Many people even bought standing tickets. As a result, the carriage seems crowded and the smell is unpleasant. It floated in the carriage, which made Shana frown. I guess she has begun to regret taking the train now.
With a smile, she gave Shana the seat next to the window, and her face looked better. I watched her eagerly put her head to the window and greedily breathed in the relatively fresh air outside the window, and I couldn't help but smile to myself.
As the train started, we also started to go to our destination Chuxiong. It¡¯s just that we and everyone on the train don¡¯t know that this train will turn this short journey into a journey of death!
In a short canyon, among the rocks above the canyon, Jun Yeyue was looking coldly at the railway under the canyon.
This railway from Kunming to Chuxiong will pass through this small canyon. The distance through the canyon is only a short distance of 500 meters. This distance usually flies by in a flash, but at this time, it is enough to become a Fatal distance.
At this moment, the puppeteer and Youruo are standing behind Jun Yeyue. The girl Youruo has been in a state of declining skills since she was invaded by the resentment of the ghost king Ling'er. It was not until yesterday that Pluto successfully expelled the ghost from her body. Resentment, so now Youruo has restored his original skills and his body is in the best condition.
Compared to the two ice men, Jun Yeyue and Youruo, the puppeteer Lang Yongming kept smiling. He had summoned the huge Rubik's Cube puppet and was looking at the railway below with malicious eyes. and moving among the rocks on the mountain.
"It's time to start." Jun Yeyue said coldly.
Lang Yongming licked his lips excitedly: "I know, head!"
The puppeteer directed the Rubik's Cube puppet to push some huge rocks on the mountain to the bottom of the valley. Seven or eight boulders with a width of more than ten meters were pushed down effortlessly by the Rubik's Cube puppet. The boulders made a deafening sound. The sound of the sound crashed down to the bottom of the canyon, immediately cutting off the section of railway under the canyon.
The puppeteer clapped his hands and said to the leader of the shadows: "It's done, boss, but why don't we wait until the train passes by before smashing it down? If we smash it down then, I think the effect will be better."
Jun Yeyue shook his head and said: "If we smash it down at that time, if they are killed, it will be a little difficult for us to find the Chiyou Stone. Moreover, if there are heavy casualties, government organizations will also intervene. We have to get It¡¯s even more difficult to get things.
When he said this, his eyes turned to the outside of the canyon. About three hundred meters away from the canyon, there was a bifurcation of the railway there. A console was set up at the bifurcation point. Through the operation of the console, , allowing the straight-moving train to detour around the valley and then onto the original track. This was originally designed to prevent landslides in the canyon on rainy days, but now, it has become a means of Pluto.
