"Are you okay?" Heizi asked worriedly.
"It's okay. It's my first time in the hospital. This injection is really powerful." I smiled and stretched my muscles.
"Where are your big cock and firecrackers?" I turned around and looked around, but I didn't see what he was talking about.
"I put it in the car..." Heizi's face dropped.
"Uncle, if you don't take it out quickly, the car will smell like chicken shit..." I couldn't help pinching my nose.
"Isn't he trying to save time? Who knows you don't want to do bad things with good intentions..." Heizi cursed and walked out.
I took the time to take out the matching arrows from the iron cabinet, took off the arrowheads, and installed the mahogany arrowheads I had made.
Although there are not many, only five arrows, it should be enough to save your life in critical situations.
Then I grabbed Dahei's tactical vest and filled it with talismans.
"Uncle Wang also gave me a few things." Heizi said and walked in carrying a big black bag.
"What good thing is it?" I greeted him excitedly.
"Didn't our ribs get broken when we caught the water corpse?" Heizi smiled and put the bag on the table and opened it.
"You have good luck when catching zombies, otherwise don't talk about the ribs..." The two of them recalled each other's words.
"So Uncle Wang asked Brother Feng to bring us two sets of equipment." Heizi said and took out the things from the bag.
"Wearing this thing makes us feel more like warriors and less like Taoist priests..." I couldn't help laughing.
"Let's keep pace with the times. After all, we don't have the skills of a master. It is still necessary to combine modern technology to protect ourselves." Heizi did not smile, and his thoughts were understandable.
After all, he is a soldier, and strictly speaking he doesn't know any magic. He can find ways to improve his combat effectiveness, which I think is worthy of appreciation.
"The latest body armor is thinner, has better protective performance, and is invulnerable; the latest tactical boots can adapt to various terrains, are non-slip and puncture-resistant, and I like this glove best, they are cut-resistant and wear-resistant, and there is a protective layer on the joints .." Heizi said as he put on a black glove and punched the wall a few times.
"Is your hand okay?" I moved forward in surprise. I had never been exposed to these high-tech equipment.
After all, our master emphasizes Taoism and nature, everything follows ancient methods, and we also follow the route of returning to nature.
"Of course it's okay. If you don't believe it, look at it. The torn gloves on your hands can be replaced." Heizi said and took out his hand and showed it in front of me.
"This cannot be replaced. The master sewed it for me." I touched the yellow leather glove on my left hand and fell into mourning for a moment.
"I'm sorry, then just wear your right hand." Heizi's mood changed quickly, and he immediately pulled me out of my sadness.
"Okay." I forced a smile and took the gloves.
Physical protection is basically in place, but the most important thing to deal with evil spirits is damage to the soul.
We had no experience and insufficient preparations in the past few times, which really made us suffer a lot.
It's also my fault that I didn't analyze the situation between ourselves and the enemy properly, and just went ahead with my head down like a dazed young man.
This trip to Taipingshan was a narrow escape. If these things we have on us can be put to practical use, the road ahead will be much easier.
I drew talismans all over the insides of both body armors, so they were basically foolproof.
I even drew talismans on Heizi's gloves. With his fighting skills, these fists are more practical than the mahogany sword.
However, the mahogany sword still needs to be carried, and this task is naturally given to Dahei. The single-point suspension strap on Dahei's tactical vest is filled with medium-sized mahogany swords.
In this way, when we are not using these peach wood swords, these peach wood swords have also become a protective layer for Da Hei. We choose the medium size, which is just the right size so that it will not restrict Da Hei's activities.
"You've never used a water gun, so bring it with you this time." Heizi said, opening the cabinet and taking out my box.
"Okay." I didn't refuse. All the fear came from the lack of firepower. Since the strength was not enough, then weapons were used.
"Don't throw away the magazine after you use it up. This is the latest model I bought. This magazine has a built-in gas bottle. Replacing the magazine is equivalent to changing the power. One gas bottle can consume at least three magazines of ammunition..." Heizi explained it to me very seriously.
"Let's go and take a look at the situation while it's dawn." After everything was ready, I hung up the yellow crossbody bag left by the master and stood at the door of the store.
This cloth bag looks very incompatible with the equipment on my body when I put it on, but at least it has a touch of Taoism.
As for Heizi, wearing a pair of camouflage pants and a fully armed upper body, at first glance he looked like a soldier about to go into battle.
We were about to get on the bus when Qiu Sheng came with someone.
"We have brought the young man's body back. I will take my people to pick you up in Taiping Village. Be sure to pay attention to safety..." In fact, the way I looked at Qiu Sheng, he probably wanted to say that he must come back alive.
"Don't worry, Uncle Qiu, wait for our good news." Heizi smiled and patted the equipment on his body.
"If things don't get settled, I will notify you in time to evacuate the villagers." Compared to Heizi, I am just used to preparing for the worst.
"Don't be brave. Living is more important than anything else. If we can't get it done this time, we'll find other ways." Qiu Sheng's eyes were deep and he put his hand on my shoulder.
"Okay uncle, it's time for us to set off." Heizi said, closing the door and starting the car.
I nodded vigorously towards Qiu Sheng, opened the passenger door and got in.
I don’t know whether Heizi is inherently optimistic or unaware of the dangers of Taiping Mountain. He listened to the songs along the way and looked relaxed, even humming along.
"Aren't you afraid?" My tone was a little heavy.
"Afraid, why aren't you afraid? But what's the use of being afraid?" Heizi smiled and turned to look at me.
I originally wanted to explain the dangers of Taiping Mountain again, but what Heizi said next completely convinced me.
"When I was in the army, during a special field training, I encountered a pack of wolves in the mountains. Ten of us were surrounded..." Heizi held the steering wheel with both hands, a smile on his face, and his eyes looking straight at the road ahead.
"I was very scared at the time. I was still a new soldier at that time, and I wasn't afraid to tell you. I was trembling with fear..." Heizi said and glanced at me.
"Our squad leader dragged me over and said..."
"Facing it bravely, there is still a glimmer of hope. I'm afraid, you will be dead before the fight starts." Heizi imitated the voice of the person in his memory and repeated these words.
"I have always engraved this sentence in my heart, and now I give this sentence to you." Heizi said and sighed deeply.
"What happened next?" I couldn't help but ask in a low voice.
"Later? Since I can come back alive, you can think about it yourself..." Heizi smiled brightly and said no more.
He spoke very lightly and smiled very easily, but it is not difficult for me to imagine what they went through that night. It was definitely an extremely tragic battle.
Since he didn't want to mention it again, I stopped asking questions, and the two of them began to analyze the Taipingshan mission seriously.
The first task, of course, is to determine whether there is a formation in Taiping Mountain to suppress evil spirits, but first we have to find the location of the formation.
Needless to say, Heizi’s driving skills, we did not enter the village, we came directly to the foot of Taiping Mountain, and we could not get in any further.
Because they had a lot to carry, both of them carried a large tactical backpack on their backs.
"Can you use this paper money now?" Heizi said and took out a handful of paper money.
"The sun is just right now. Let's take a quick look at the terrain. We won't need it for the time being." I said and quickened my pace.
"I understand, it's the same thing with courtesy first and then fighting..." Heizi smiled and pointed at me.
"I don't know how many evil spirits there are in this mountain. Even if the old master comes, I'm afraid he won't dare to use force as soon as he comes up. Besides, the master has always said that we should fight without fighting. We can't forget our roots." When I mentioned the master, I felt a little more worried. Share the confidence.
"Yes, that's what senior brother taught me." Heizi nodded solemnly.
"I am convinced that you are still poor after all this time." I gave Heizi a thumbs up.
The road to Taipingshan is full of twists and turns, and it looks like no one has been here for many years.
The path covered by weeds in front of us should be the path that people used to go up the mountain to bury corpses decades ago.
After so many years of wind and rain, this road is still looming. You can imagine how many times our ancestors walked on this road and how many corpses were buried.
"Just follow this path all the way into the mountain?" Heizi stopped and took a sip of water.
"Those corpses should be buried together. As long as you find the place where the corpses are buried, you should be able to find the magic circle." I was also tired. The huge consumption of energy yesterday really put some burden on my body.
