Chapter 452: The Adventures Of The Cross Slope (2)

Ling Pingan carried his cat and walked around the stone arch bridge. Then, he walked toward the east side of the bridge.

This place should be outside the imperial capital.

The cell phone signal was not good.

Fortunately, the road condition was all right, and there were street lights by the roadside.

Even though the street lights were not very bright, and were often extinguished for no reason.

However, under the moonlight, there was no obstruction.

They walked east along a bluestone road for about 300 meters.

Ling Pingan saw a gurgling river.

It was dry season now, so the river water was very gentle.

Not far away, there was a pedestrian dam.

The river water flowed out from the holes under the dam.

The sound of water splashing was particularly pleasant on this winter night.

Unfortunately, it was not summer now.

Otherwise, it would be very nice to take a walk here.

The sound of frogs, the sound of water, the sound of cicadas.

If the moon was a little bigger and brighter, it would be even better.

With this thought, the moonlight really became brighter. As it shone on the ground, the moonlight was like frost.

Even the dam could be seen clearly.

It was a very narrow dam.

Was it built for flood control or diversion?

In short, the small dam ran across the river.

Vaguely, water splashed from the hole under the dam.

Ling Pingan looked at it and felt relaxed and happy.

As a liberal arts student, he could not help but think of Tao Yuanming.

“Wealth and honor are not my wish, and the country of the emperor can not be expected. With a good time, I go alone, or plant a cane and work hard. When I ascend to the east, I whistle with ease, and compose poems in the clear stream!”

He sighed softly. “Tao Yuanming may have seen through all the things in the world on such a night!”

Speaking of which, he quite liked this kind of life and attitude.

What was money? What was the emperor?

My own happiness was the most important thing, and I don’t care about you!

So, he couldn’t help but hum a song.

It was a song that he seemed to have heard somewhere.

“A body that has slept for a thousand years awakens from dead branches and rotten leaves…”

“It is nightingale’s mournful sigh…”

“Undo the spell…”

As he sang.

They took off!

Gusts of breeze gently caressed the river, blowing the leaves and leaves.

In the distance, the owl’s cries were endless.

Mournful, bleak, and terrifying.

However, Ling Pingan acted as if he had not heard it. He was even very happy.

That was because there were so many owls here, which meant that the environmental protection was done well.

Humming this song that he had heard before, Ling Pingan walked to the front of the dam.

The dam was very narrow. When he got closer, he realized that the road on the dam could only allow one person to pass.

In some places, one could barely fit a pair of feet.

“Who built it?” Ling Pingan looked at it and couldn’t help but complain. “It’s so narrow. How am I supposed to get there?”

Meow!

The kitten in his arms meowed softly.

Thus, as though in a trance, the previously narrow dam suddenly became much more spacious.

“Am I seeing things?” Ling Pingan scratched his head.

He tried to walk up. The dam was very strong, and his feet stepped on the hard concrete, making him feel extremely secure!

In the hole below, water was gurgling and flowing.

Ling Pingan nodded. “Looks like my eyes were playing tricks on me just now!”

“I knew it. Who would be so heartless to build such a dam!”

Just then, the alarm clock that he had set rang.

“It’s 11 o’clock!” Ling Pingan said, “It’s said that the cross slope is especially fierce after midnight!”

“Then I’ll go there after 12 o’clock!”

So he sat down on the dam, and his feet began to sway gently.

A quiet winter night, a deserted river.

Breeze blew gently and the gentle moonlight shone across the river.

Shimmering, rippling with countless points of light.

For a time, Ling Pingan was a little crazy.

He loves nights like this!

So he went on humming the song.

“Who sealed the forgotten sword, chasing the flute and horse hooves…”

“Found you…”

“The most glorious sacrifice is the fate of a hero!”

“The moment I swung the sword, my heart was crying…”

“Sob, sob, sob…”

… ..

Zhang Hui looked at the monitor.

He swallowed his saliva, under the high-definition lens of the drone.

The dam of the Wuding River silently expanded more than twice from a narrow dam that only allowed one person to enter and exit.

All of this was completed in less than a second.

He slowed down the image that he had captured repeatedly.

Finally, he could see clearly how all of this had happened.

He stood on the bank of the river and looked at dam under the moonlight.

The moonlight that was a little dim a second ago suddenly brightened up in this second.

The dark clouds in the sky dispersed, and the moon that was almost full hung in the sky and shone brightly with moonlight.

The world suddenly became clear.

And the dam in the river, on the other hand, changed in a frame.

Zhang Hui clearly saw that the moonlight that fell on the dam suddenly solidified like fine sand.

Then, as if he had received an order.

The fine sand quickly mixed with the surrounding material.

And so..

The dam became bigger.

But..

If it wasn’t for the camera’s recording, Zhang Hui would never have believed that the dam would become bigger in this way.

He saw everything clearly.

Zhang Hui only felt his heart beat faster, and his breathing became extremely heavy.

“He… he is actually so powerful?”

In less than a second, he had expanded and built a dam from nothing.

Such a miracle had only appeared in mythical grade legends.

And it was a myth of creation!

In the legend of the land of Qin’s cross religion, a God had created the world.

He said that there should be light, so there was light.

And this god displayed almost exactly the same, or even more brilliant methods.

He said that there should be a path, so there was a path.

And if Zhang Hui was not mistaken, then this god created this dam using moonlight as the raw material!

Using light as the raw material, he instantly built a material dam.

Zhang Hui did not know if other gods could do it.

But he understood that this was something that went against the laws of physics.

The conservation of energy and the conservation of mass and energy, in his hands, were like toys that could be manipulated at will!

And..

All of this happened silently.

“This… he is telling us…”

“Can he really turn stone into gold?”

Zhang Hui couldn’t help but guess.

Turning stone into gold was the most commonly used magic art of the Immortals in legends.

However, after the recovery of spirit aura, people quickly realized that the so-called ‘commonly used magic art’ was perhaps even more complicated and terrifying than they had imagined!

Because..

People discovered that even if they gathered all the psionic power and other energy sources in the world, they might not be able to turn a gram of stone into gold!

Therefore, turning stone into gold was already classified as a divine ability of the Dao Master and Buddha level.

And it was a great supernatural power!

Now, in Zhang Hui’s eyes, this person was obviously telling him — you guessed it right, I am the supreme one that you imagined!

Zhang Hui was silent.

But he came back to his senses and looked at the person in the surveillance camera. He suddenly stopped and sat on the dam, holding his cat. Who knew what he was waiting for?

Raising his head, Zhang Hui looked at the clock on the wall.

It was eleven o’clock in the evening.

An absurd thought emerged in Zhang Hui’s mind.

“He is waiting for the cross slope to wake up?”

“Why?”

Zhang Hui asked.

“With his great power, it’s no trouble for him to wake the cross slope up…”

“Why did he choose to wait here?”

Suddenly, Zhang Hui remembered a hypothesis that a certain expert in his think tank had put forward.

“He might be a very disciplined existence!”

“Because all the signs indicate that to a certain extent, he follows the rules that exist in the world…”

“For example, he has never violated any laws…”

“According to the investigation, he has no criminal or illegal records…”

However, after this hypothesis was put forward, it was overturned.

Because it was impossible!

Such an existence could overturn the rules with just a raise of his hand.

Why would he care about the ordinary things?

Zhang Hui also shook his head and threw this idea out of his mind. “Impossible! It’s too absurd!”

Would he abide by the rules of the ordinary people?

What a joke!

Would an elephant care about the rules in an ant’s nest?

If he didn’t like it, he would stomp the nest to pieces!

So..

There must be a deeper meaning!

“It must be!” Zhang Hui said. He continued to look at the monitor meticulously and attentively.

… … ..

Chu Wen stood nervously in front of the stone arch bridge that he had to cross the cross slope.

He waited carefully.

He looked at his phone from time to time.

“It’s already past 11 o’clock…”

“He shouldn’t be coming, right?”

“He definitely won’t be coming!”

But he didn’t dare to leave.

Because..

He didn’t want to die!

If someone from Lu Ming Villa died at Cross Slope, the Blackguard would definitely investigate and find out.

Especially since he had mentioned this matter to Lu Xian.

Lu Xian might have a good relationship with him, and they often got together.

But..

If he committed a crime, Chu Wen knew that he would definitely be reported under the generous rewards of the Blackguard!

This was the pugilistic world!

Don’t look at it. Usually, everyone would brag together and say, “How about the eagle and hounds of the imperial court? We should unite together.”

But when the real matter came to an end.

Those who tipped off the eagle and hounds of the imperial court were those who usually barked the loudest

Chu Wen knew this because he was such a person.

He judged others by himself.

If Lu Xian encountered such an incident and it happened, the Blackguard would investigate and offer a reward of hundreds or even thousands of points.

Sorry..

Lu Xian would be sold.

Hence, he did not dare to leave and could only stay here.

Even if it was getting colder and colder by the bridge.

The whimpering of the wind brought with it a shrill cat’s cry.

The low howls of the owls in the forest became more and more terrifying.

It made one’s heart tremble.

His psionic sense was trembling.

This meant that the things at the cross slope were preparing to wake up.

When they woke up..

A hundred ghosts walked in the night, and there were groups of evil-doers.

There might even be evil-doers who would sneak out from the cross slope and meet him here.

However..

Compared to the evil spirits and ghosts.

The Blackguard was undoubtedly more terrifying.

After all, he might not lose his life if he encountered evil spirits and ghosts.

However, if an ordinary person died because of him at the cross slope.

Once the Blackguard found out…

He would definitely die!

The transcendent being of the Federal Empire had witnessed countless examples in the past two hundred years.

Back then, the Yan Sheng sect was like the sun in the sky. The four deacons of the sect were all generals who stood at the peak of transcendent being.

They even had a bunch of strange magic art that could even curse a general to death!

And then?

When the Blackguard found out that their magic art was at the cost of the lives of civilians.

They immediately made a decision: annihilate!

And annihilate at all costs!

They would not accept any surrender or compromise!

In order to annihilate the Yan Sheng sect, eight generals had died in battle!

Even the commander-in-chief of the Blackguard had been seriously injured and died not long after.

However..

They had kept their promise!

If they said they would kill your entire family, they would kill your entire family!

The Yan Sheng sect had been exterminated from the territory of the Federal Empire!

Even if they fled to Nanyang and hid in the mountains, they would still be found one by one.

This pursuit had lasted for a hundred years, and it was still continuing to this day.

As long as the eagle and hounds of the imperial court found traces of Yan Sheng sect, they would pursue them relentlessly like mad dogs!

In the words of the current commander-in-chief, one of us must die today!

So..

Chu Wen did not dare to leave. He could only stay here and hold on.

Whoo…

There seemed to be something above his head.

Chu Wen raised his head and saw a rotary-wing drone flashing with light as it flew over his head.

“A military drone !”

He recognized it at a glance.

He even knew the model.

The ‘wide-eyed type A’ unmanned rotary-wing reconnaissance aircraft.

It was the standard equipment of the Federal Empire’s Army and special forces.

The Blackguard also frequently used it to carry out some scouting and searching missions.

This drone hovered above their heads, continuously rotating. High-definition cameras continuously took pictures.

Seeing this, Chu Wen also smiled bitterly and waved at the drone.

… ..

“To live is to prove that love exists…”

“Fire, a greater life after burning!”

“To kill is to praise the magnificence before destruction…”

“Night, is the deep eyes of the wolf…” A low chant echoed in the quiet and uninhabited river.

The lonely young man held the kitten and sat on the dam.

His legs swayed gently.

The river water under his feet gurgled.

The light of the cell phone screen illuminated his face.

It was already 11:30pm.

“Waiting for the dawn alone…” He hummed softly, singing it over and over again.

At the same time, he searched for this song on the Internet.

Unfortunately, he didn’t find anything.

After he entered the lyrics, all he found was some baffling content.

It was either a sentence from a certain novel, a line from a certain advertisement, or an introduction from a certain TV series.

It had nothing to do with the song.

“That’s not right!” Ling pPngan said, “This song is pretty good. Why can’t I find it?”

“Could it be…”

“When I was in university, I listened to the nameless songs sung by those wandering singers in the square near the university?”

That was the only explanation.

“Sigh… If that’s really the case, it’s such a pity!”

However, this was how the world was now.

The music industry was dead!

After all, if someone was tone-deaf and sang a song without knowing the meaning of it, they would still be able to sell tens of millions of copies.

Then why did the capital have to push the power faction?

What if it became popular?

He would make a request.

It would be streamed multiple times!

It could be produced in an assembly line and be continuously updated and renewed.

More importantly, it was obedient!

It would do whatever it was told!

It had no complaints and was very obedient. It was the best tool!

Thinking of this, Ling Pingan could only sigh.

At this moment, a fire suddenly appeared on the other side of the river.

It was green and looked a little like the legendary ghost fire.

Ling Pingan looked and laughed.

For some reason, there was a voice singing in his heart.

“Love is a ray of light, so beautiful…”

“It’s just phosphorescence!” Ling Pingan said.

As a modern university student, he naturally knew that the so-called ghost fire was actually phosphorescence.

The Ancients did not know, thinking that it was the movement of ghosts.

But in fact, after a person died, the phosphorescence in the body turned into phosphine with an extremely low ignition point due to chemical reactions.

Ling Pingan looked at it, took out his phone, and looked at the time.

11:42pm.

“If it wasn’t for the fact that it’s not 12:00am yet…” He said, “I would just go over and do a disco dance at the grave!”

However..

It was only about 10 minutes.

Let’s wait a little longer!

When it’s time, let’s go over and see if there’s really a ghost?

What if there really is one?

For some reason, Ling Pingan suddenly thought of this question.

Then, he smacked his lips and grinned.

“Don’t be afraid if you find a ghost…”

He chuckled.

“Let’s approach it carefully…”

“Be careful not to be discovered by it…”

“Ghosts are very mysterious… and also very nutritious…”

“They contain many kinds of substances that are beneficial to the human body…”

“After we remove the head, we can eat it…”

He licked his lips and laughed evilly.

His laughter was gloomy.

“The taste…” Tears were accumulating at the corner of his mouth, as if he had recalled some beautiful memories and could not help but flow out.

“It should be the taste of chicken!”

Meow!

The kitten in his arms meowed softly in agreement.

Because it had eaten many malicious ghosts.

The taste was really rich!

Unfortunately, when he woke up, he never had the chance to eat these things again.

Because all the gates of the underworld were locked.
