From the advent of the mountains and seas

Chapter 53 The Chanting Giant
The time came in the afternoon.

Except for a slight change in light and darkness.

The environment in Penglai Island remains the same, even the temperature does not fluctuate.

Time seemed to stand still in the jungle.

An Jing stood in the shade of a tree, looking at the lingering fog above the forest.

Even at the time of the day when the sun is strongest, the fog still shows no signs of dissipating.

This is enough to prove that the fog in the sky of Penglai Island is by no means naturally generated.

What is even more strange is that the giant hiding in it suddenly became silent, as if it had fallen into silence.

If you don't stand on a high place, you can still vaguely see the outline.

An Jing even suspected that she had an illusion for some special reasons.

Not far away, Commander Lu, surrounded by the crowd, looked at the top of Tang Ruosheng's head, and suddenly frowned.

Raising his hand to push away the guards in front of him, he casually pulled out the dagger at the waist of a soldier next to him, brushed the blade with his right hand, pinched the tip of the blade and snapped it, the dagger made of refined iron was instantly shattered by the internal force.

While the energy was churning, several fragments flew out with the sound of howling wind, and went straight through the human-faced butterfly hidden among the branches of the tree.

The faces of the guards who saw this scene changed suddenly, and they hurriedly leaned over to apologize.

"Get out of the way, I'm not weak enough to need your protection."

Stepping out of the guard circle composed of soldiers, Commander Lu's goal is very clear,
"The ghost is safe and peaceful."

"Lord Lu, what are your orders?"

Turning his eyes to the plain-faced Commander Lu, An Jing clasped his hands and asked.

Previously, Nangong Lian said that the commander was a woman disguised as a man, but An Jing didn't see the female characteristics of the former at all during this journey, it was nothing more than a softer appearance, and her words and deeds were all manly.

"When you were in the camp, you said that the giant leaned over to check the jungle. Did you read it right?"

Xu Shi noticed An Jing's movement of looking at the canopy just now, Commander Lu took a step forward and asked in a deep voice.

Want to pursue the elixir in Penglai Xiandao.

The most important thing is to find the unusual existence on the island. Those giants that are twenty or thirty feet tall are obviously very special individuals. If you can get close to or capture one of them, you may be able to get a glimpse of the secret of longevity .

However, the team has been active in the jungle for so long, and the movements they have made are not small. The giant that An Jing said has never shown up. .

"I am sure that there was a change in the giant at that time, as for why nothing similar has happened until now"

An Jing didn't know how to explain it for a while, and said after a short silence,

"Perhaps some condition was not met?"

Speaking of this, An Jing's expression froze suddenly, and then he seemed to think of something, and hurriedly said,
"The sound of chanting!"

"The sound of chanting!"

Almost at the same time, Tang Ruosheng who was next to him closed the note in his hand and gave the exact same answer as An Jing.

Now it was Commander Lu's turn to be at a loss, his eyes wandering between An Jing and Tang Ruosheng.

When will strangers from the world and the Grand Master Qin Tianjian have such a tacit understanding?
An Jing's expression was also surprised.

He was just guessing, there was no real evidence, how did Tang Ruosheng notice it?

"So far, we have captured twelve humanoid monsters alive. Through interrogation, we know that they will unconsciously repeat some phrases during their actions. The specific content is here."

Holding up the note in his hand, Tang Ruosheng continued,

"Although the accent of some sentences is difficult to distinguish, it is certain that most of them are scriptures of Taoism and Buddhism!"

As soon as this remark came out, the Buddha attacking Qin Wenzhao immediately appeared in An Jing's mind.

It did say phrases like "Namo, Amitabha Buddha" one after another during the battle.

"Taoism and Buddhism do have the theory of longevity, but the methods are different, and the interpretations of the scriptures also have their own merits. Why do these irrational monsters know and chant?"

Commander Lu looked thoughtful, thinking of the conversation just now, and asked again,

"The bachelor thinks the reason lies with those giants?"

"That's right, there has never been a coincidence in this world. I always thought that everything has traces to follow. The scriptures chanted by monsters cannot be created out of thin air. There are many masters of Taoism and Buddhism, and the crux of the problem lies in this."

Those who can become the Grand Master of Qin Tianjian are naturally not ordinary people. Although Tang Ruosheng does not have strong martial arts cultivation, but in terms of wisdom and insight, he is undoubtedly an outstanding existence among the people present.

"Why are the scriptures of the two religions memorized by this group of monsters wandering in the jungle without enlightenment? There is only one way, which is repeated countless times. This is the most direct way to pour the content of the scriptures into their barren bodies. brain!"

Speaking of this, An Jing and Commander Lu at the side already understood what he meant.

These monsters usually wander in the jungle, and there is no possibility of gathering. Therefore, in order to complete the above steps, a tool that can "broadcast" scriptures in a large area and for a long time has become a necessary condition.

There are no modern speakers or speakers on Penglai Xiandao. What can be used to replace them?
The answer is in front of everyone.

giant!

"What's the point of doing this? Does anyone want to educate these monsters?"

An Jing was still puzzled, what was the purpose of making many monsters recite the scriptures, it was really inconceivable.

It's not just An Jing who is bothered by this problem, Commander Lu and Tang Ruosheng also don't want to understand it.

Fortunately, the sound of chanting has been discovered as a clue. Since it takes a long time and multiple chanting, it means that it will definitely appear again. All they have to do now is wait.

Taking advantage of this time, Commander Lu signaled his subordinates to use the toad box to contact the team led by General Hu Shen and ask them about the situation there.

The so-called "toad box" is a rare object refined by court warlocks, which is specially used for communication in special environments.

An Jing heard this from the side of a few whispering soldiers, and deliberately went around to the gap to observe secretly.

I saw Qianhu who accompanied him carefully put the luggage he had carried all the way on the ground, and took out a palm-sized wooden box from it. After opening it, there was a closed-eyed golden toad inside.

Then he took out half of the incense stick and lit it, and placed it in front of the golden toad's head.

The golden toad, which seemed to be sleeping, fluttered its nostrils, opened its mouth suddenly and swallowed the smoke, and immediately swelled its body. It first made a sound of "吱吱~", then the tone of its voice began to change, and finally it turned into Hu Zhijing's voice.

After successfully establishing contact, Qianhu immediately brought the golden toad to Commander Lu, who asked,

"How's the situation over there?"

"I met a group of strange insects and killed many people. Fortunately, it was resolved smoothly."

Hu Zhijing briefly described his experience, with a little remorse in his words.

Unlike An Ping's success, they encountered several waves of monster attacks one after another and suffered a lot of losses.

"Pay attention to the sound of chanting and the traces of giants, and join us in half an hour."

This is the first day of landing on the island. If there are too many casualties, it will undoubtedly affect the follow-up operations.

Now that important clues have been found.

Joint action is the right choice.
