Chapter 1018: Disturbing Sounds and Seeking Strategies

The old imperial family has not made any moves since they retreated from Jibei Road last time. This is because compared with Dashun, they are lacking in both resources and upper-level power, and are actually on the defensive in the long-term confrontation.

The old imperial family did not have the ability to take the initiative to fight, and in order to maintain the existing borders, they could only take some containment and destructive actions.

So this time, according to conventional thinking, it is very likely that similar actions will be taken. After all, with the promotion of the skyline, more central cities will definitely join in, which will help to enhance the national strength of Dashun. The old imperial family certainly does not want to see this.

Jibei Road is the origin of Skyline. It is not surprising that the old imperial family wants to target this place. The key is how to do it? How much effect can this secret treasure or rift have?

Qiao Weiting said: "Let me say a few words. I don't know where this rift is, but from a military perspective..."

He pointed to the lower world pass, and the three mountains of Jibei Road appeared on it.

He said: "There is Zhang Mountain in the north, Jia Mountain in the southwest, and Xie Mountain in the southeast, which just surrounds Yangzhi, leaving only a gap in the south.

If a rift appears in any of the three mountains, the people of the old imperial family only need to occupy Yangzhi City and then occupy the other two mountains, forming an excellent geographical location that is easy to defend but difficult to attack. "

The expressions of the security team members became solemn. Yangzhi City has a large population and a certain industrial base. It is connected to other counties and cities by roads. In addition, there are relatively unobstructed waterways, so transportation is very convenient. There are also many fortress groups left over from the great development period in the Three Mountains. Once occupied, it will be a natural military stronghold.

In fact, during the great development period, the army built a military center around this place. This place must not fall into the hands of the old imperial family.

Liang Guanghai hesitated for a moment and said, "If that's the case, could it be that the sudden action of the old imperial family this time is because the field information has been laid out to Yang Zhi recently?"

The team members all nodded. This was very possible. Once Yangzhi City and the surrounding counties were included in the entire skyline, information could reach every location and they would be able to respond at any time.

Yao Zhiyi suddenly said at this time: "Not only that, but also Director Chen was not in Jibei Road for the past six months, which gave them courage. Otherwise, even if the information field spread there, they would not dare to act rashly."

When the team members thought about it, they felt that this was indeed the case. The old imperial family was obviously aware of the threat posed by Skyline to them, but they had not taken any action yet. This was most likely because of Chen Chuan's threat.

After all, when the three fighters participated in the siege of Chen Chuan, no one from the old imperial family showed up, but now they suddenly showed up. Perhaps this is the reason.

Chen Chuan thought for a moment and said, "If they really decide to take action this time, they will definitely take all kinds of situations into consideration."

He looked up and said, "Maybe you have also thought about how to deal with me."

The team members felt a little nervous. If this was true, the old imperial family would definitely invest considerable manpower.

Qiao Weiting said: "Doesn't the Cao family have half a key? If we get the suspected location of the secret, can we find this place? If we can find it, we will destroy it at the initial stage and eradicate this matter."

Liang Guanghai is an expert in this area. He said in a deep voice: "Having only half of the key is useless. Even if it is complete, you still need to know the specific location of the secret and how to enter. This alone is useless."

Qiao Weiting thought for a moment and asked, "Can we ask the Cao family to cooperate this time?"

Qi Weizhao said, "Don't bother the Cao family. The Government Affairs Office has promised to give them a stable life. It's a great achievement for them to report this news. The next step is ours."

He looked at all the team members and said, “The Government Affairs Office will try to speed up the advancement of field information in Yangzhi and surrounding towns, and send a military unit to Yangzhi City to facilitate monitoring of the surrounding situation. In addition, he looked at Chen Chuan.

Except for a few people, no one else knows that Director Chen is back. Is Director Chen willing to go to Yangzhi?"

Everyone thought that this was the best way, as long as the Three Mountains were stable, even if the rift was not here and the old imperial family showed up somewhere else, there would not be any major problems.

Chen Chuan thought for a moment and responded, "I have no problem. But I need to contact Xiayuan'an Company through secret channels in the name of the Government Affairs Office.

I might need to transfer two people from there.”

Qi Weizhao did not ask him who he wanted to transfer, and said in a deep voice: "I will arrange it. I was planning to contact them."

The other team members thought about it and nodded. Yuan'an is now the largest state-owned enterprise in Yangzhi, and they cannot avoid this matter.

To the north of Yangzhi is the military port of Hangu City, and the construction of the railway in it is entrusted to Yuan'an Company. With the cooperation of this company, Yangzhi's retreat from the north can be blocked, and the control there can be further strengthened.

Of course, it is also possible that the cracks exist in other places, or the geographical conditions of other counties and cities do not have a sufficiently closed and excellent geographical environment. Once a situation occurs, the central city can respond in the shortest time.

After the decision was made, some details were discussed and the meeting ended.

Chen Chuan looked at the dim screen and then remembered something.

At Mr. Cheng’s 80th birthday party that day, the old man couldn’t help but talk about his eldest son.

The elder brother of Teacher Cheng was very talented and was highly expected and respected by his family and elders, so he also developed a more selfish personality.

Mr. Cheng was a man of rules and regulations, and was quite dissatisfied with his eldest son, so he sent him to Yangzhi, hoping to temper his temper. However, this son could not stay idle, and once for some unknown reason, he went to Jiaoshan for a trip and later disappeared.

The old Cheng family organized people to search for him many times, but they still failed to find him. Jiaoshan is not a place suitable for long-term residence, and there is no way to send people there for a long time, but even so, the Cheng family still goes there once a year.

Judging from the current situation, could it be related to the secret treasure?
He needs to find some time to ask about this matter, and he also needs to find some people who are more familiar with the environment of Jiaoshan.

He happened to know a few people here.

He thought for a moment and nodded, "Is this Senior Brother Ren? I'm Chen Chuan. Is it convenient for us to talk now? Well, I want to ask you a favor."

In the Jiaorong area, on a desolate hill, stands an old Zen temple. It looks rather old, but is quite large. From time to time on the mountain path, one can see believers wearing linen clothes and wrapping their whole bodies, bowing and praying all the way up the mountain.

You can hear calming chants of Zen mantras coming from the temple, and smoke from the incense burner in front of the temple is curling up.

Zhao Zhenye walked up the steps, passed the believers and arrived in front of the temple. In front of the temple stood a Zen monk with his hair tied in a bun and wearing a patched robe.

This man looked flabby from the outside, but he gave people the feeling of being full of life, especially his eyes which were bright and clear.

When he saw Zhao Zhenye, he clasped his hands together, bowed and said, "I believe in the Lord again." His voice was gentle and powerful, making people feel at ease.

Zhao Zhenye nodded and said, "Master, I have already paid homage to all six great masters. I wonder which one I should pay homage to today?"

Recently he has heard a lot of auditory hallucinations and seen some inexplicable images. He knows that the energy he has absorbed is affecting him, and it is also possible that the beings on the opposite side are transmitting something to him through these. This is unavoidable.

However, this problem is easy to solve. Zen Buddhism has some great Zen sound mantras that can dissolve these auditory and visual hallucinations, so he has been coming here every day recently and gradually suppressing them.

The Zen master showed an expression of listening, and after a while, he smiled and said, "Believe me, today I heard a flat sound and I should go to the place of the Venerable Master Wugu Miaosheng."

Zhao Zhenye nodded, took two steps, then stopped and turned back to ask, "Master, I have listened to this so many times and I have gained something each time, but why can't I achieve complete tranquility?"

The Zen master smiled and said, "Then we should ask the believers, do they want to listen to those heavenly voices or not?"

Zhao Zhenye thought about it and remained silent.

The Zen master smiled and said, "Unconsciousness, fear, worry and doubt are the knots in the heart. Believe me, first there is confusion, then there are all kinds of reasons. If you can solve the root cause, then there will be no more of these."

Zhao Zhenye nodded and said, "Thank you, Master."

He walked into the temple and came before the "Venerable Wuguo Miaosheng". The statue of the Venerable was solemn and peaceful, with slightly drooped eyelids and a compassionate face.

He sat down in the front, and after a while, he heard the rustling sounds again. Before, he rejected the sounds because he didn't want to be disturbed by these external sounds in order to cultivate. But now that his merits and practices are gradually fulfilled, he no longer resisted them. In just a short while, he heard a lot of things that he could understand.

But he was the only one who heard the sound, and he himself had no way of making any response, so it persisted. However, after he understood the meaning of the sound, it suddenly became faint and low, almost inaudible.

If he resists in his mind, the more he resists, the more disturbed he will be. However, now he knows the faith, so he can listen or not.

He raised his head and glanced upwards, and seeing that the Venerable still had a compassionate look on his face, he stood up, clasped his hands together, bowed upwards, and then walked out.

When they got outside, the Zen master asked, "Have you gained anything from believing in the Lord?"

Zhao Zhenye said: "Thank you, Master. I have learned something."

The Zen master smiled and said, "Why thank me? The world is a sea of ​​suffering. You and I are both floating across it. I help the Lord, and the Lord also helps me."

Zhao Zhenye said: "Master, I will come again."

The Zen master simply put his hands together and bowed, saying nothing more, and just watched him walk down the mountain.

Zhao Zhenye walked all the way down and looked forward. There stayed a group of fully armed men. It was obvious that they were the elite troops from the old imperial family.

Gai Shuhe stood aside, holding a helmet in his hands. He said, "Brother Zhao, I've been waiting for you for a long time. Can we leave now?"
