Final Priesthood

Chapter 137 Nightmare Experience, Clues to Elephant God (Additional update for Water!)

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

normal seat.

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

Having not seen him 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.

Lu Yuan planned to take her not to Jiaoyan, but to Weishan.

 “Sister, drink water.”

 A bottle of mineral water was handed to Lu Jing.

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

Facing Shang Lu Yuan’s calm eyes.

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

"Oh, thank you."

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

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

 Thinking for a moment, he handed over the water bottle with the cap unscrewed in his hand.

 “You drink from this bottle.”

Lu silently did as he was told.

Lu Yuan pressed the button on the armrest.

 A partition was raised on the ground next to where he and Lu Jing were sitting, quickly forming a small temporary space.

“This train will arrive in Weishan in one hour and thirty-two minutes.”

Lu Yuan turned around, 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 finishing speaking, Lu Yuan paused and added: "I will ask you again after you finish asking."

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

Looking at Lu Jing's appearance, Lu Yuan shook his head and said, "Forget it, I'll tell you myself.

 If you are curious about anything that has not been mentioned, please ask. "

 Following that, Lu Yuan spoke:

“Three months ago, I signed up for a martial arts class. Well, sister, you should know, you asked me about it in the previous video, it’s the one my dad paid me to sign up for.”

 “My talent is very good, very good.

He made rapid progress in martial arts and soon attracted the attention of the instructors in the martial arts gym.

 He recommended me to a sect affiliated with the martial arts school

Yes, it’s the kind you understand, similar to the kind in martial arts novels, the ancient martial arts sect.

I think your friend’s boyfriend should be from a similar sect. You can ask them privately to verify this."

“I am in Weishan this time to participate in an assessment in the sect.

 Luckily, 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 mafia or a cult.”

“Oh, by the way, you are the only one in the family who knows about these things.

Mom, dad, and grandpa, I didn’t tell anyone.”

 “Okay, I’m done.”

Lu Yuan closed his mouth and looked at Lu Jing's reaction.

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

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

Since the journey was far away, I was not in a hurry. I opened the small table in front of my seat, took out the pen and paper I had asked the flight attendant for earlier, and started writing and drawing on the paper.

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

“Xiaoyuan, is the sect you joined rich?”

"ha"

Lu Yuan couldn't help laughing.

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

So he replied half-jokingly: "It's very rich, but it's not my money.

But 80% of it will become my money in the future.

 In a word, your brother and I are now prosperous.

From now on, even if you and your parents don’t work and just 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’m reluctant to replace it.

I bought you the clothes last year too. Just say that you are rich and can take care of the food for the whole family."

As Lu Jing spoke, the barrier 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 handed over the paper in his hand without hesitation.

 “Sister, look at this.”

 “What is it? It’s so ugly.”

Lu Jing complained habitually. 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, asking with shock and surprise: "Where did you see this thing?"

“I saw it on the blackboard behind you when I was video chatting with you.

I remember. "

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 and the words "Magic Mountain".

 “Buzz—”

　　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 side by side, and the atmosphere seemed particularly quiet.

 “Xiao Yuan, there are some things”

 Lu Jing suddenly opened her mouth, but was quickly cut off by Lu Yuan.

“Sister, just tell me everything you experienced in Xisu.

 The rest, I will decide by 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 insignificant things mixed into it.

 But Lu Yuan did not interrupt and listened 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 being carried out 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.

 “..monster, bug.”

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

“.First, many insects appeared under the sand, biting people everywhere.

 Everyone didn’t take it to heart at first. 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 things get scary later! "

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

 But by the night of the third day, there were no more insects coming out of the temple. Some monsters began to appear, man-eating monsters! "

The fear on Lu Jing’s face also reached its peak.

Lu Yuan held her shoulders with both hands, patted her gently 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 and took a few sips. Her mood calmed down a little and she nodded.

Pick up the pen and draw on the paper while continuing to talk.

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

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

One day, those monsters came out of the ground in broad daylight and began to attack the members of the archaeological team wantonly.

That 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 emerged from 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 as big as a tank.

 The speed is not fast, but the power is very strong, and it is not afraid of ordinary bullets and explosives. "

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

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

 The excavation work was stopped urgently and everyone was 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 it a few times.

He recognized the shuttle, it looked pretty much the same, 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.

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

The only thing that surprised Lu Yuan was the "normal person" Lu Jing drew 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 looked at the pictures she drew, thought about it, and asked, "Sister, do you still remember.

 It was after you dug something out of the temple that bugs and monsters began to appear? "

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

 “A glowing stone ball?”

"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 **** 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.”

 “Where are those stone **** now?”

“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.

Tell me carefully, have you ever touched these luminous stone **** 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 was blushing a little, and he didn't know how to answer.

"You have the nerve to blame others, not because there are too many things in your box and it is 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 must have troubled you a lot along the way. "

 “It’s okay, we have been good buddies for several years”

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

Sun Zhihua smiled and packed all the luggage neatly.

 Three people got in the car.

The man with glasses sat alone in the back seat, while Wu Xinlei sat in the passenger seat.

“Lu Jing’s younger brother also did the same. He took the person 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, but she didn't notice it at all. "

As soon as she got in the car, Wu Xinlei couldn't help but muttered.

Sun Zhihua, who was in charge of driving, comforted casually: "This is the case for everyone who practices martial arts.

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

 Be decisive in doing things 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 only 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 played 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, so many people died that even the military’s mechas and cyborgs were dispatched.

 It’s almost like the plot of a science fiction horror movie. "

Sun Zhihua said thoughtfully while driving: "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 also heard people talk about it by chance.

They are probably monsters that were eroded and alienated by the evil forces of ancient cults. There are also some lunatics in the martial arts world who study these.

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

 You are lucky, nothing happened."

Wu Xinlei didn’t quite understand what Sun Zhihua said, but she didn’t ask any more questions. She just pouted and said, “This is good luck. I almost didn’t come back.”

“Okay, I’ll make it up to you next.

　　What do you want to eat and where do you want to go? Just say it, I am a professional driver and carry a bag.”

Sun Zhihua smiled and comforted.

Wu Xinlei had a sweet look on her face and 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 seems to be having some sort of apprenticeship party tomorrow, so he has to rush over there in a hurry."

The man with glasses looked at his phone and talked about the news he had just received.

The transition and foreshadowing chapters are squeezed together. There will be more similar situations in the future. Asking for a monthly ticket (bang bang bang) kowtow!
