Final priesthood

Fifteen minutes later, we were on the high-speed train from Suchuan to Weishan.

normal seat.

Lu Jing sat on her seat, looking at the back of Lu Yuan who was helping her place her luggage with a complicated expression.

After not seeing each other for more than four months, it was as if she no longer knew the brother in front of her.

In addition to the huge change in appearance, Lu Yuan's personality has also become unfamiliar.

Obviously she still calls herself "sister" as before.

The strong and unquestionable words contained in her words made her confused. She didn't even say goodbye to a few friends before obediently following Lu Yuan on the train.

Yes.

She didn't find out until she got in the car.

The person Lu Yuan was going to take her to was not Jiao Yan, but Wei Shan. "Sister, drink water."

A bottle of mineral water was handed to Lu Jing.

Lu Jing came out of her trance, followed the hand holding the water bottle, and moved her eyes upward.

Facing Lu Yuan's calm eyes.

Just like the first time she saw it, the tomb dug underground was dark and deep, hiding too many unknowns and mysteries.

"Oh, thank you."

Lu Jing took the water bottle and quickly lowered her head.

Lu Yuan sat down next to Lu Jing and watched her slowly twisting the bottle cap absentmindedly.

After thinking about it, he handed over the water bottle with the cap unscrewed in his hand.

“You drink this bottle.

Lu Jing followed the instructions silently.

Lu Yuan pressed the button on the armrest.

A partition rose from the ground next to where he and Lu Jing were seated, quickly forming a small temporary space. The train would arrive in Weishan in one hour and thirty-two minutes. "

Lu Yuan turned sideways, looked into Lu Jing's eyes calmly, and said, "I have bought all the eight seats nearby, so you don't have to worry about being heard.

In the following time, you can ask whatever you want to ask...

After saying that, Lu Yuan paused and added: "I will ask you again after you finish asking."

Facing Lu Yuan's frankness, Lu Jing seemed a little caught off guard and stayed in place in a daze.

Seeing Lu Jing's appearance, Lu Yuan shook his head and said, "Forget it, I'll tell you what I haven't mentioned myself. If you are curious, ask again."

Immediately afterwards, Lu Yuan spoke:

"Three months ago, I signed up for a martial arts class. Well, sister, you should know, you asked me in the previous video,

It's the one my dad paid for me to sign up for. "

“My talent is good, very good.

I made rapid progress in martial arts, and it didn't take long for me to attract the attention of the instructor in the martial arts school. He recommended me to the sect affiliated with the martial arts school...

Yes, it's the kind you understand, similar to the kind in martial arts novels, ancient martial arts sect. I think your friend's boyfriend should be from a similar sect. In this regard, you can learn from them privately and verify...

I was in Weishan this time to take an exam in the sect. Fortunately, I passed, so the leader of the sect decided to accept me as a disciple.

Tomorrow night is my official apprenticeship banquet.

Don't worry, sister, we are a serious martial arts sect. It's not the kind of organization you imagine, a gangster or a cult.

Oh, by the way, you were the only one in the family who knew about these things, my parents, and my grandpa. I didn’t tell anyone.

"Okay, I'm done."

Lu Yuan closed his mouth and watched Lu Jing's reaction.

Obviously, the amount of information and impact of his words were a bit too big for Lu Jing.

After Lu Jing listened, her mouth opened slightly, and her dark and thin face was full of shock and confusion.

Lu Yuan was not in a hurry, he opened the small table in front of his seat, took out the pen and paper he had asked the flight attendant for earlier, and began to write and draw on the paper.

When he was almost done, he heard Lu Jing mutter in a low voice.

"Xiaoyuan, is this sect you joined...very rich?"

"ha..

Lu Yuan couldn't help laughing.

Looking sideways, he found that Lu Jing seemed to have digested almost everything.

So he replied half-jokingly: "I'm very rich, but it's not my money, but 80% of it will become my money in the future.

In short, your brother and I are prosperous now.

From now on, even if you and your parents don't work and lie at home every day, I can still take good care of you, wear gold and silver, eat well and drink well, there will be no problem at all...

"Just bragging, I think the mobile phone you are using now is the same one I bought you before.

The screen is scratched and I can’t bear to change my clothes. I bought them for you last year... and you still say that you are rich and can take care of the family’s meals...

As Lu Jing spoke, the distance and strangeness between the two seemed to be quickly disappearing.

Lu Yuan took the opportunity to reiterate to her the matter of ranking first in grade in the final exam, and even pulled out a photo of the transcript from his phone to show her.

For a moment, the two seemed to have completely returned to the close relationship between ordinary siblings.

Then.

Lu Yuan coldly handed over the paper in his hand, "Sister, look at this."

"What is it? It's so ugly.

Lu Jing was used to complaining, and in the middle of her words, her expression suddenly froze.

He stared at the white paper in his hand for a few seconds, then suddenly looked up at him and asked with a look of shock and dismay: "Where did you see this thing?"

I remembered what I saw on the blackboard behind you when I was video chatting with you. "

Lu Yuan looked at Lu Jing calmly and said, "Sister, it's my turn to ask you now."

The white paper that Lu Yuan showed to Lu Jing recorded the symbol of the Xiangshen Cult, as well as the words "Magic Mountain": "Yum——"

The train was traveling at high speed, the scenery outside the window was rapidly moving backwards, and there was an extremely slight vibration from the window.

In the carriage, Lu Yuan and Lu Jing sat facing each other, and the atmosphere seemed particularly quiet.

"Xiao Yuan, there is something.

Lu Jing suddenly spoke, but was quickly cut off by Lu Yuan,

"Sister, just tell me everything you went through in Xisu.

I will decide the rest myself. "

Lu Yuan's words contained some unexplainable force. Lu Jing was silent for a while and finally nodded.

Next, she carefully told Lu Yuan her experience of accompanying the archaeological team for more than four months.

There are many inconsequential things mixed into it.

But Lu Yuan did not interrupt and kept listening patiently.

".Everything went very well at first.

The temple was buried underground by sand. We tried to dig and successfully found the entrance to the temple within a few attempts.

A large number of ancient cultural relics are excavated every day.

Everyone was very excited, and several professors were so excited that they couldn't sleep at night. All the work was going on all night long.

Until...that day.

When Lu Jing said this, she seemed to recall something, and there was a strong look of horror and fear in her eyes.

".Monsters, bugs.."

Lu Jing's story began to become a little confusing.

"..First there were lots of bugs emerging from under the sand, biting people everywhere.

At first, everyone didn't take it to heart. After all, similar things are not uncommon in the archaeological industry. When a box buried deep in the ground for thousands of years is opened, some strange things will always come out.

But later on, things get scary! "

"...We killed a lot of bugs, collected a large number of dead and living specimens, and even contacted several well-known domestic entomologists to prepare for them to come over and cooperate with the work.

But by the night of the third day, insects no longer came out of the temple.

And some monsters began to appear, man-eating monsters! "

The fear on Lu Jing's face reached its peak.

Lu Yuan held her shoulders with both hands, gently patted her and comforted her.

While handing her the water, he encouraged: "Sister, can you draw that monster and show it to me?"

Lu Jing picked up the water bottle, took a few sips, calmed down a little, and nodded.

Pick up the pen, draw on the paper, and continue the story.

..At first they were hired, but the people responsible for keeping watch kept disappearing.

We contacted the local police in Nisu and searched for a long time.

Then one day, those monsters emerged from the ground in broad daylight and began to attack the members of the archaeological team wantonly.

It was a nightmare.

Lu Jing's voice and hand holding the pen were trembling.

Lu Yuan stroked her back and watched as a strange creature that looked like a ladybug gradually appeared in her writing, but had a head and limbs similar to an elephant, and its mouth was split on all sides like octopus tentacles.

Lu Jing studied sketching in high school and was very good at it.

"..The smallest of these monsters is the size of a goat, and the largest is like a tank.

It's not fast, but it's very powerful, and it's not even afraid of ordinary bullets and explosives. "

Lu Jing handed the drawn picture to Lu Yuan, but the pen in her hand did not stop.

".The archaeological team suffered serious casualties, probably losing one-third of its members.

Excavation work was halted and everyone evacuated several kilometers away.

“Later, the professors called people from the military.

I saw several shuttles, huge mechas getting on and off the shuttles, and people with hands and bodies that could spit out fire and lightning.

"They were very powerful and killed many monsters.

What Lu Jing is drawing now is the shuttles, mechas and those so-called people who can breathe fire and generate electricity as she described.

Lu Yuan glanced at the shuttle for a few times and he recognized it. It looked very different, and the mecha was similar to the type he had seen on the international news.

As for the last one...it should be a reformer like Zhou Ling in the Yellow Bear organization.

There are many high-tech offensive weapons installed in their bodies, which can easily produce fire or discharge.

The only thing that surprised Lu Yuan was Lu Jing's drawing of a "normal person" with a spider-like frame on his back.

His transformation is revealed.

When Lu Yuan saw this man's appearance, the word "exoskeleton" popped into his mind.

"..Then we were deported.

We were lucky. Only one of the group of intern graduate students who went with us was injured. "

Lu Jing's mood finally stabilized.

Lu Yuan repeatedly checked several pictures she drew, thought about it, and asked: "Sister, do you still remember.

Did the bugs and monsters start to appear after you dug something out of the temple? "

Lu Jing nodded, "We also discussed this afterward. We started after digging out those few luminous stone balls."

"Glowing stone balls?"

"right."

Lu Jing gave a rough description, "It's about as big as a fist, with the pattern you drew on it.

The information you see in the video should be what we wrote down during the discussion.

There are eight stone balls in total, which will glow at night.

I've seen it through the tent, and I'm not the only one who's seen it...

"Now where are those stone balls?"

"They were all taken back by a few professors."

Lu Yuan nodded.

Then, he looked Lu Jing in the eyes and asked Lu Jing word by word: "The most important question.

sister.

Please tell me carefully, have you ever touched these luminous stone balls you mentioned? "

....

"boom!"

The heavy suitcase hit the board in the trunk hard.

"Can you let it go?"

Wu Xinlei scolded the man with glasses angrily.

The man with glasses blushed a little and didn't know how to answer.

"You have the nerve to blame others, but it's not because there are too many things in your box and it's too heavy."

Sun Zhihua came over and greeted the man with glasses with a smile, "Okay, brother, thank you for your hard work.

Let me do it.

Xinlei has troubled you a lot along the way. "

"No, it doesn't matter, we have been good buddies for several years...

The man with glasses pushed up his glasses, suddenly realized what he said, and quickly changed his words: "Good friends! Not buddies.

Sun Zhihua smiled and packed all the luggage neatly.

Three people get in the car.

The man with glasses was sitting alone in the back seat, while Wu Xinlei was sitting in the co-pilot, and so was Lu Jing's brother, who was taken away without saying a word.

Fortunately, Lu Jing used to always talk about how well-behaved her brother was and how polite he was to others. She didn't notice it at all.

As soon as she got in the car, Wu Xinlei couldn't help but muttered that Sun Zhihua, who was in charge of driving, comforted him casually: "This is the case for everyone who practices martial arts.

The stronger you are, the more you go your own way.

Be decisive and never consider what others think. "

"Don't you also practice martial arts? You are stronger than him. Why do I think you are so good?"

"That's a special case just for you."

Sun Zhihua said.

A hint of sweetness flashed across Wu Xinlei's face, and she gently grabbed Sun Zhihua's palm. She looked up and saw the bespectacled man in the back seat looking curiously, with a "murderous" look in his eyes. The latter immediately lowered his head obediently and went to play with his mobile phone alone.

Sun Zhihua grabbed Wu Xinlei's hand with one hand, started the car with the other, and asked casually: "I heard that your archeology was thrilling this time?"

"yes."

Wu Xinlei had just comforted Lu Jing at the airport, but now she looked frightened.

"Biting bugs, man-eating monsters, many people died...even the military's mechas and cyborgs were deployed in the back. It was just like the plot of a science fiction horror movie."

While driving, Sun Zhihua muttered: "From your description, it seems that you have encountered an ancient evil beast...

"Ancient evil beast? What is that?"

Wu Xinlei blinked and asked curiously.

Sun Zhihua replied: "I have also occasionally heard people talk about monsters that were probably corrupted and alienated by the evil power of ancient cults. There are also some lunatics in our martial arts world who are also studying these.

There should be more official rectifications, and it is most likely difficult for ordinary people to encounter them.

You guys are lucky, nothing happened...

Wu Xinlei didn't quite understand what Sun Zhihua said, but she didn't ask any more questions and just said: "This is called good luck. I almost didn't come back.

"Okay, I'll make it up to you next.

Whatever you want to eat, where you want to go, just say it, I am a professional driver and carry a bag...

Sun Zhihua comforted Wu Xinlei with a smile, his face sweetened, and he was about to speak.

At this time, the voice of a man with glasses suddenly sounded from the back seat,

"Lu Jing said that she went to Weishan with her brother.

Her brother seemed to be having some kind of apprenticeship party tomorrow, so he was anxious to rush there. The man with glasses looked at his phone and talked about the news he had just received.
