Chapter 718: Monks Are Human Too
(I read . Read the full text without pop-ups)
At this time, Yang Di was also surprised, and secretly sighed that these cultivation forces in the world were unfathomable.
I thought that the old antiques like the big grandfather Taizu and the Ji family were already top names in their respective families, but I didn't expect that there would be even more terrible old guys sitting on top of them.
Along the way, Elder Wu Qingfeng kept casting his demon search hexagram, the old man really didn't lie, that kind of probability was very painful, and he tried dozens of times in a row, but all the hexagrams were unresponsive.
The search for demons is very different from the general divination hexagram, because it is aimed at demons and evil spirits with Taoism, so it is more difficult.
Until noon, there was no result, and by this time, this group of people had already gone deep into the mountains for a long distance.
After trying more than 300 times, Wu Qingfeng gradually felt some pressure, for fear that a thousand times, he would not be able to succeed once.
This not only wasted Yang Di's Blood Returning Pill, but also disgraced in front of all fellow Daoists and seniors.
In addition, on the side of the barracks headquarters, Ji Kaixiu and Brigadier Sun Hu, there have been some disagreements, and when the news came, the female agents Liu Xuan and Di Bo were also a little worried.
Brigade Commander Sun insisted on applying to his superiors to send another brigade of soldiers to join the Black Fox Commando Brigade in a carpet search of this primeval jungle.
However, Ji Kaixiu opposed this resolution for two reasons: First, this kind of large-scale military mobilization is likely to arouse speculation from the outside world, and the actions of tens of thousands of soldiers will certainly be detected by satellites of other countries, and all of them may cause waves in the international community and bring trouble to the authorities and military.
What's more, this practice is really irresponsible for the lives of soldiers, and it is conceivable that any team of people who encounter monsters will inevitably suffer heavy casualties.
The monster's speed, strength, perception, and attack power are all extremely transformative, and the strength of a battalion may be killed in three minutes, and within a hundred meters, even if it is a soldier with outstanding physical fitness, even the chance of escaping is extremely slim.
If you carry out that kind of carpet search, like asking the soldiers to draw death lots, no matter if you encounter a great achievement, I am afraid that you can only be awarded the title of martyr.
Moreover, considering that this group of strong people who encircled and suppressed the monsters, it would take a certain amount of time to get to the place of the incident, and the casualties would be beyond imagination.
When the problem came here, Yang Di thought about it, so he stood up against it, and said angrily: "It's too unkind to do this." ”
How powerful that monster is, they monks know very well in their hearts, ordinary people encounter it, except for the dead and the corpse, there will be no second possibility.
As for guns and bombs, in front of that monster, they are like toys, and they can't provide the slightest protection for soldiers.
Soldiers must defend their homes and defend the country, but they should not be sent to death in vain, ordinary soldiers do not have the ability to stop the monster, even if the ancient corpse is found, by the time they arrive, maybe the monster has disappeared again.
The significance of such an arrangement is really debatable, and it should not be insisted on because the monster is so harmful!
"It is not easy for all living beings, and it is true that it should not increase human lives in vain. Old man Wu Qingfeng nodded.
"That's going to kill a lot of people, so don't do it. "The big grandfather Taizu is also against it.
The surrounding monks agreed.
Seeing this scene, the female agents Liu Xuan and Di Bo were both slightly grateful, glanced at someone, and knew that it was actually him who opened the head, and the other monks unanimously supported them out of the intention of making friends.
"Director Ji, all the seniors on our side, oppose that kind of decision that hurts the heavens. Subsequently, Liu Xuan skillfully reported the situation here to the command headquarters through radio.
This is a clever pressure, as the protagonist of this action, even Ji Kaixiu and the boss must be polite to these powerhouses in the cultivation world, because they need to rely on them to destroy monsters.
"Okay! I understand, there will be no such action, the main thing is to search in the air, and we have already deployed a number of unmanned reconnaissance aircraft to support, and we are expanding the range. Ji Kaixiu responded in the headset, the deputy director may not know what is going on here, but he must be happy at this moment, and the face of Brigade Commander Sun next to him is estimated to be a little embarrassed......
......
Although the military and the Security Bureau have not made any decision to rush in for the time being, after an afternoon of searching, neither the air forces nor Yang Di and them on the ground have made any progress.
Gradually, it was getting late, and it seemed destined to miss the time period when the monster's combat power was relatively weak, and at night, the monster was definitely in a state of full blood, and it was so powerful that it was smacking.
Elder Wu Qingfeng's side has already divined more than 700 hangs, but he still found nothing, the search for the demon hexagram did not work, and he didn't know where the monster was.
Unexpectedly, at this time, the strong man of the Ji family actually stood up, and the old man of Ji Guan looked a little embarrassed, and smiled lightly: "Elder Wu doesn't need to bother, I have already sent a message back, and the Ji family's life astrolabe is currently on the way to bring it." ”
"Destiny Astrolabe?"
Hearing that, the monks present all looked solemn and surprisingly serious, and obviously knew what an extraordinary thing it was.
"Hehe, it's so good......" Elder Wu Qingfeng was a little embarrassed, but he knew the power of the astrolabe, but he didn't insist, he didn't insist on it, he was not interested in asking for it, but he was secretly a little annoyed, the people of the Ji family were actually willing to use that heavy treasure, why didn't they say it earlier, and they would be embarrassed to sacrifice themselves here.
"Transmission? Isn't it a vast supernatural power? It's thousands of kilometers away from Yanjing, I'm afraid it's thousands of kilometers, the Ji family's Taoism is really extraordinary!" Yang Di sneered and laughed, teasing this third uncle of Ji Yifeng.
When the surrounding monks heard this, they all had strange faces, this guy was really bad, he knew the truth, and he wanted to ridicule the people of the Ji family.
"I don't think there should be any Taoist skills, a mobile phone text message is OK, it's convenient and fast, and it can also cross the state. The big man Ao Xi said in a serious way, and when he broke it so little, Ji Guan's face became more and more embarrassed.
Di Bo, Ye Shenyu, and Zong Xun are really out of temper, these two guys are really good, and they don't understand the amorous feelings at all.
The strong men of the Ji family over there were all made by the actions of these two goods, and their pupils were spewing fire, and they were supposed to say that the natal astrolabe would definitely surprise the fellow people present, and their faces were also full of brilliance, but they were so troubled by the two boys, and they completely changed their taste.
"Hmph, if Your Excellency thinks that my Ji family's things are not good, I can let the people who come return it, and it will save a rush. Ji Guan was more annoyed than anyone else, and he was already a little angry.
The ancestor of the Ji family had a cold face, not only for Yang Di, but also for the descendants who were dissatisfied with his own family, so uncalm.
"Whatever, no one is forcing you. Yang Di spread his hands and smiled indifferently.
"You!" Ji Guan almost smoked, and wanted to argue with him, but when he felt the coldness of the ancestor, a cold breath suddenly appeared on his back, and he hurriedly stopped.
Ji Yifeng's third uncle realized that he was led by the nose by this kid, and the kind of rhetoric just now not only couldn't scare the friends from all walks of life present, but instead looked a little childish and laughed generously.
How can he say that he is also a monk in his hundreds, and it is indeed unseemly to quarrel with a boy in his twenties, no wonder the ancestor is angry.
Realizing this, Ji Guan didn't dare to say that kind of convincing words anymore, but just glanced at Yang Di coldly, and there was a chill surging in the depths of his eyes.
The monks of all parties present didn't take it seriously, they knew that the Ji family's life astrolabe would still be sent, and there would be a way at that time.
"Ladies and gentlemen, you might as well take a break, eat something, and then continue to encircle and suppress that monster. ”
Liu Xuan thought about it, and also stood up to speak, although she and Ji Kaixiu were both eager to pursue the ancient corpse, but the pilot was also flesh and blood, from the early search to now, he was already very tired, and the command had temporarily slowed down his actions, taking advantage of this opportunity, they should also let these monks rest for a while.
Barren mountains and mountains, the conditions are simple, and there is nothing to be picky about, so everyone found a vacant place to settle in the woods and grasses in the same place.
Naturally, the food was flown over, and Ji Kaixiu didn't know what cultivators liked to eat, so these days, most of the food prepared for them was some light food.
Yang Di took a bento, and after opening it, he suddenly frowned a little, looked at the female agent speechlessly and sighed: "You boss, don't you treat us as monks, it's just no meat, you don't even put some oil, it's all boiled and steamed, you really don't have an appetite." ”
Female agent Liu Xuanqiao's face turned red instantly, they have arranged it like this these days, mainly some boiled mushrooms, bamboo shoots, sea vegetables, melons and fruits, for fear that the cultivators will not be fishy, and they didn't even dare to put salt.
I thought it was very smart to be scared like this, but now when I heard someone complaining, Liu Xuan suddenly felt a little ashamed of the security bureau, and they seemed to be stingy.
However, then Liu Xuan glanced at him, and he was comforting himself in his heart, thinking that this guy must be lowly in his ways, so his taste is still heavy, and those strong and strange people didn't say anything.
The monks around him really didn't say anything, but it wasn't because of this, but because of the loss of face, they were embarrassed to be honest about the food.
In fact, the monks of the time, except for those strange people who are hidden in the blessed land and the mountains, and the cultivators who are often in contact with the outside world, have abandoned the way of "avoiding valleys and cultivating asceticism" and have developed cultivation methods that are closer to modern society.
This will indeed have a certain impact, Taoism emphasizes the breeze on both sleeves and does not cause dust, but after a long period of evolution, the ancient cultivation family, the Taoist study of the method, are to the greatest extent to avoid this kind of drawback.
Between penance and world cultivation, many cultivators have chosen the latter, preferring to have their cultivation path affected to a certain extent rather than being a relatively normal person.
In fact, except for the two old antiques of the big grandfather Taizu and the ancestor of the Ji family, after starting the penance retreat, they returned to the path of purification, and the other people, including Wu Qingfeng and Tianchengzi, and even the two clan elders of the Jiang family and the Shantai family, still adhered to the habits of normal people.
