According to Taoist classics, this thing appeared once, but that one appearance caused chaos and mountains of corpses. It was eventually suppressed by the Taoists, but the Taoists paid a heavy price.
"This...this...it can't be," I thought, feeling my mouth go dry. If this were true, a real disaster was about to strike.
"It's hard to say. Judging from your description, it should be this thing, but it hasn't fully formed yet, which is why it hasn't come out to wreak havoc on the world."
"When will it be fully formed?"
"I don't know either. It could be a year, or it could be ten years, or even a hundred years. But based on your description, it should be not far off, which is why it has started to come out and be active."
"I also think so. Recently, I have been observing the celestial phenomena at night and have found that the Azure Dragon in the East is gradually weakening, the White Tiger is becoming more active, and the Big Dipper has also begun to shift. These are signs of great chaos. However, these celestial phenomena seem very chaotic, and with my current level of cultivation, I cannot see through them completely. It seems... full of variables."
"Do you still remember the talk about the 2012 doomsday?" Uncle Liu from Hunan asked.
Of course we know this; even the old men in the countryside know about it.
"Now it seems that it was not unfounded. You should know that this Mayan prophecy actually has some connection with the origin of our Taoism."
One Hundred and Twenty-Eight People Behind the Scenes
As they were talking, there was a knock on the door, and a voice rang out, "Liu Zhihua, are you in there?" It was Wang Ling.
The old blind man opened the door and said, "You all get some rest. We'll come see you again tonight." Then the group left, and Xiang Fei simply pretended to be asleep.
Wang Ling walked in and saw me lying on the hospital bed, looking angry. She put down the large bag she had brought and said, "Liu Zhihua, what did you say to me back then? Did you ever consider my feelings?" As she spoke, tears were already welling up in her eyes.
"Ahem," I said, feeling a little embarrassed and unsure how to respond. Relationships can be a real headache sometimes; a woman's mind is hard to fathom.
At least that's what I think. The best thing to do right now is to stay silent and let her vent her anger. She'll be fine in a little while.
At this moment, Xiang Fei also pretended to cough twice, "Young people should understand each other and not make a scene at the drop of a hat."
Wang Ling became a little embarrassed, sat down next to me, and knowing that I love pears, peeled one for me. "How does it feel?"
"I'm almost fine now. The hospital said I can be discharged after another two weeks of rest. Thank you for coming!"
"Why thank me? Do you know how worried I was about you when I found out you were in trouble?"
"hey-hey....."
"Oh, by the way, is my mom alright?"
"You still have the nerve to ask? Your aunt is so worried about you. If we hadn't persuaded her, she would have come over too. Now she specifically told me to keep a close eye on you. You're so old, and you still make your mother worry all the time."
The two chatted for a while, and then another person came in. I didn't recognize him, but he seemed to be someone important. The leader greeted us warmly, and he was followed by two other people, a man and a woman, carrying a lot of nice things.
Xiang Fei quickly stood up and introduced me to him, saying that this was Director Wang from the county, the friend he knew.
"I'm sorry, I was busy with work and only just got here. Are you two alright now?"
"It's alright, thank you for coming to see us in person, Director Wang!"
"Hehe, not at all. Master Xiang helped me a lot back then. As the saying goes, a drop of water in need should be repaid with a spring of water. It is only right that I come to see you."
What follows is nothing more than some polite official talk, so I won't go into details.
"Oh, by the way, Director Wang, we have something we'd like to ask you. Were we transported to the hospital by helicopter by you?"
"No, I only found out about your accident yesterday through a friend at the hospital. Besides, we don't have the authority to mobilize helicopters," Director Wang said, looking at us with a puzzled expression.
Since that's the case, we didn't ask any more questions. We figured the person who made the move in secret must be someone important, so it was best to keep quiet. After all, it's never a good thing for society to get involved with the government.
But what we don't understand now is why the other side knew we were in trouble? It was the middle of nowhere, before dawn, so there's only one possibility: unless one of the tourists in the car was an informant for the other side, or simply put, someone monitoring and following us.
"Who could it be?" I wondered to myself. It seemed that this situation was becoming more and more complicated.
After talking for a while, Director Wang left with his men. Xiang Fei and I discussed it for a bit more, but we couldn't come up with a solution. In the end, we just decided to give up and take it one step at a time.
I just asked Director Wang, and he said that the matter of the Qiang ethnic cult has been reported to the county government. Danmu Yaju has also been taken care of. I guess the government will start to take action soon, but of course, this has nothing to do with us.
Time flew by and it was evening, time for us to have dinner. Of course, we could only eat in the hospital bed. Wang Ling personally went out to buy some stewed chicken and pork rib soup. She even said she would feed me, but seeing Xiang Fei there, I felt embarrassed and decided to do it myself. Self-reliance is the best policy.
After dinner, Wang Ling cleaned up the dishes and took them out. Xiang Fei wiped his mouth and said, "Teacher Liu, this girl is quite nice. Set a date and get married. You have to settle down eventually. Even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about your mother. You're her only son, and there's no one else in the family. She's getting old and needs someone to take care of her, but you're always out running around."
