Tonight, the stars are shining, and the night wind is like the hand of the girl Zhang Dongsheng has been in love with for 17 years. It is slowly passing on his cheek, with an unreal sense of happiness.
Zhang Dongsheng is a lieutenant of the coast guard. When the 106 major cases set off an evil storm on the island, he and a company comrade in arms were transferred to the mountains of Xianxia mountain.
The task is very simple, that is to protect the Taoist temple on the top of the mountain.
Zhang Dongsheng is not a local, but when he was very young, he had heard of the legend of Xianxia mountain. He knew that there was a Taoist priest in Xianxia temple on the top of the mountain who didn't know how old he was.
It seems that my grandfather has said that the Taoist priest of the world of mortals does not know how old she is. For treasure island, her existence is like the existence of an ancestor, which is her blessing. Therefore, the treasure island area can have today's peace.
He has also heard that in the late 1940s, after a great man who had died was defeated and retreated to the treasure island, thanks to the protection of Xianxia temple, he was able to save himself from danger. He did not lose the last piece of his motherland and lived in the southeast corner of the country
Therefore, in a sense, since the 1940s and 1950s, the status of Xianxia temple has risen to the height of "belief". The Taoist priest of the red world even has the meaning of "protector of the country" in the ancient court. In the following decades, whenever there are any major festivals, the president will visit Xianxia mountain in person.
Just like the emperors of the ancient Chinese dynasty who went to the Huguo temple to pray for the country's happiness and peace.
Xianxia temple is so important in Baodao that it should be quite famous. People come to worship it every day, just like Tibetans worship the Potala Palace.
But in fact, the Xianxia temple is just like the heaven in the fairy tale. It is widely spread among the people. It accepts the belief of ordinary people and emperors, but never shows its true face to the public.
The more you can't see anything clearly, the more mysterious it will be. In particular, Xianxia temple and Taoist priest Hongchen have been in the local legend of Baodao for hundreds of years, but they are not accessible to ordinary people at will. Therefore, their sense of mystery and mission will rise sharply and become the belief of all living beings on Baodao.
Before Zhang Dongsheng and others were transferred to Xianxia mountain, they only knew that they would carry out a very important task, otherwise they would not use their company.
Their company is the most elite force in the whole treasure island area.
Only when they came to Xianxia mountain did they know what they were going to do: protect the belief of the treasure island at all costs - Xianxia temple, Taoist priest of the red world.
It turns out that there is really Xianxia temple on Xianxia mountain, and there is a Taoist priest in Xianxia temple.
After coming to the mountain, Zhang Dongsheng and others, who knew what they were responsible for, were nervous and afraid, but more excited and excited.
They are nervous and afraid because they know the importance of this mission. After all, they all know that the devil who made waves in the 106 case is likely to offend the sacred place in people's hearts. They are afraid that they are not able to ensure that the Xianxia temple will not be damaged.
The reason for their excitement is simpler, because not every special operations force is qualified to protect Xianxia temple.
After the task was made clear, Zhang Dongsheng and others solemnly vowed that they would rather shed the last drop of blood than let those evil spirits offend Xianxia temple and Taoist priest of the red world!
These days, they have been scattered hundreds of meters around the Xianxia temple, with the Xianxia temple as the center, forming a big encirclement, hiding in the dark to monitor any wind and grass around.
Zhang Dongsheng and others all have a wish, that is, in this mission, they hope to see the legendary Taoist priest in the red world - it's a fairy like existence. It's said that she has white hair and white eyebrows, but she looks like a pretty girl. If anyone is lucky enough to get her jade hand to touch the top, he will be surrounded by peace and happiness all his life.
Unfortunately, for the past seven or eight days, they have been hiding hundreds of meters around the Xianxia temple. They can see the Taoist temple in the eyes of the people of the treasure island, but they can't see anyone.
The Taoist temple, just like it has been standing there since ancient times, but no one has ever been in or out of it. The grass around it is waist deep. Except for the falling leaves when the wind blows, there has never been a hare.
However, when the night falls and the sound of the rising tide of the sea comes from behind Xianxia mountain, the lantern in front of the door on the left side of Xianxia Temple (there are candles or lamp oil in it. Zhang Dongsheng and others can't see what it is, but it's not a light bulb anyway) will light up. When there is a touch of dawn in the eastern sky, the lantern will go out.
For seven or eight consecutive days, it was like this, but I didn't see a person until yesterday noon.
At noon yesterday, Zhang Dongsheng received an order from the top commander: to retreat three kilometers to the southwest immediately. Without an order, he must not act without authorization.
Zhang Dongsheng and others don't understand why the leader will do this task. However, it is the bounden duty of soldiers to obey orders unconditionally. Zhang Dongsheng and others will not procrastinate except to act according to orders.
Soon, the whole day and afternoon passed. They obeyed the orders of their superiors and kept hiding in a valley three kilometers to the south of Xianxia temple until a new order came: before dark tonight, they should rush to the original hiding place and make sure no one is allowed to get close to Xianxia temple within 300 meters!
After receiving the new order, Zhang Dongsheng and his team immediately rushed to the original hiding place and arrived at the designated place before dark, forming a surrounding situation for Xianxia temple and closely searching for any disturbance around.
Zhang Dongsheng and others want to know what happened to Xianxia temple in the past few decades when they were asked to withdraw from the hiding place.
However, no one told them, and naturally they would not ask their superiors casually. They only strictly carried out the orders and kept vigilance since they were in place.
It's getting dark.
At the hillside of Xianxia temple, there is also a large area of white fog, like a wave, which rises and falls slowly with the light wind at night.
Like many high-altitude mountains, there will be a sea of clouds in the middle of the mountain, but the sky is clear above the mountain top, and you can clearly see the stars blinking.
"Zhang tou, it seems that you'll still have a hard night. Why don't you take a rest and come back to replace me in the early morning?"
Adjutant Xiao Zheng quietly went to the back of the big stone and asked, leaning on it, looking up at Zhang Dongsheng over the Xianxia temple.
"What time is it?"
Zhang Dongsheng asked, but raised his wrist and looked at the luminous watch.
It's 11:30 in the evening. All kinds of unknown insects are calling. The lantern in front of Xianxia temple has been on for a long time. From a distance, it looks like an eye. Its strange red eyes look down at them coldly with ridicule.
The whole special company, with a total of 110 people, was divided into two teams when they arrived at Xianxia mountain. They were on duty and rested alternately. They took turns every two hours. Now is the beginning of the first round of rotation.
In the dark, there are many comrades in arms changing their posts, quick and silent.
Zhang Dongsheng was very pleased with his subordinates' rigorous and excellent performance in carrying out the task. He stood up from the stone with a little strength on his back, raised his hand and stretched his waist. He picked up the telescope hanging in front of Xiong and looked over at Xianxia Temple: "OK, I'll go to rest first. You should concentrate on it and don't make any mistakes. I think we should be killed after tonight
Zhang Dongsheng has not finished, suddenly Yi.
"What's the matter?" the adjutant asked
Zhang Dongsheng suddenly put down his telescope, as if wondering if he was dazed. After wiping his eyes, he quickly raised it.
The adjutant moved in his heart and quickly raised his telescope to look there. Then he was shocked to find that a black figure appeared under the lantern in front of the left door of Xianxia temple!
It's not an illusion, it's definitely a human figure, because from a telescope with high magnification, high accuracy and infrared night vision, you can see everything 300 meters away clearly.
A black figure!
The figure is about 1.8 meters in shape, slender and looks like a woman.
It doesn't matter whether the shadow is a woman or a man.
The important thing is, how can he (she) pass by in front of dozens of soldiers who surround the Xianxia temple, even if they fly over a mosquito and have to register whether it is male or female
Just when Zhang Dongsheng and Xiao Zheng were overwhelmed by the sudden appearance of the shadow, the shadow seemed to turn and look this way - they could see the face clearly through the telescope.
Through the starlight and the dark red light from the lantern in front of the gate of Xianxia temple, Zhang Dongsheng and his wife saw the face: what kind of face is this? Lion nosed tiger eyes, wild boar tusks, with evil spirits from hell.
Especially those eyes, even in the dark shining non-human fluorescence, like gems, cold, should not have a trace of emotion, but it will let people see a touch of irony.
Can't help it, Zhang Dongsheng hit a soul stirring, back out of a cold sweat.
He opened his mouth and wanted to shout: who is it!?
But when he opened his mouth, his vocal cords didn't make any difference. He just looked at the face and his brain was buzzing.
The shadow only looked back, then turned his head back.
When the south wind suddenly turns to the north, the dark shadow is like a paper paste, more like a ghost of the night. It is blown by the wind to the gate of Xianxia temple.
What's that?
Is it a human, a ghost, or a thousand year old tree spirit in Xianxia mountain?
Zhang Dongsheng's mind is in a mess, staring at the shadow that seems to be going away from the wind. He has completely forgotten what their mission here is.
Actually, it's not just him?
All the people who see the shadow with binoculars, including Deputy Xiao Zheng, have become stupid, just like a computer that crashes because of insufficient memory. At this moment, no one makes the response that should be made.
It was not until the two doors, which seemed to have never been opened since the ancient times, suddenly opened with a squeak, and several lanterns appeared from the door that Zhang Dongsheng suddenly returned to reality from a trance, just like the wounded wolf, suddenly rushed into the sky with a long howl: "enemy invasion, everyone pay attention!"
Zhang Dongsheng's long howl suddenly awakened more than 100 special combat soldiers who were in the transition from an inexplicable trance.
Click - a sound of the bolt being pulled away from the woods and grass hundreds of meters away from the three sides of Xianxia Temple (behind the cliff). All the people jumped out of their hiding places and rushed up with the fastest speed under the leadership of Zhang Dongsheng.
The distance of 300 meters, even at the top of the rocky Xianxia mountain, is like walking on the ground for Zhang Dongsheng and other special forces members. They can jump over it in half a minute.
Never let the evil devil offend the Taoist priest, even death!
At present, Zhang Dongsheng only has this idea in his mind.
