Chapter 2057: Ask the truth
The warm sunlight shone on the earth and fell on the stone pillars, and red light appeared. The stone pillars dozens of meters high stood up facing the sun, like a lonely god of war, smiling at the wind and clouds, and resigned. The mountain eagle grabbed the ladder and climbed up like a monkey. It was very fast, and in a blink of an eye, it reached half the height. The people below opened their eyes wide and stared at the top, for fear that someone would attack the mountain eagle and dare not be careless at all.
Luo Zheng also stared at it tightly, and cold sweat broke out in the palm of his hand holding the gun. The situation of the mountain eagle was too dangerous. If someone was wrong, the mountain eagle on the stone wall had no place to hide, and he would definitely die. Luo Zheng held the sniper rifle tightly and stared at it without missing any details. While praying secretly, he must not have any accidents.
The mountain eagle who climbed quickly also knew his situation and seized the time to climb up quickly. Before he knew it, he came to the top. The mountain eagle looked up vigilantly and looked up. He saw no one. He only saw a house with wood and stone structures on top. The wooden door was wide open. An old man sat up at the door, crossed his legs, put his hands on his knees, calmed his heart, faced the sun with his eyes slightly closed, and his mouth was stammering, as if he was thinking about something.
Shan Diao was shocked and stared at the other party with vigilance for a while. He found that the other party was not hostile, as if he was doing morning class. He was over 60 years old, with a snow-white beard and bald head, and wearing a white robe. Shan Diao did not step forward immediately, but took photos of the other party through a helmet camera, while saying in a deep voice: "I found that the target is over 60 years old, with no intention of attacking. He was sitting cross-legged at the door for morning class. Please instruct."
"Go forward quickly to see if there are any dangers around you and report it immediately." Luo Zheng reminded in a deep voice, his heart tightened even more. Seeing the mountain eagle rolling over the stone pillar, he did not hear the gunshots. His heart relaxed a little. As long as the mountain eagle stepped forward, he could deal with it even if there was danger.
After the Shan Diao went up, he observed the surroundings vigilantly. The stone pillars were clear at a glance. There was only one old man except for a house, and there was nothing else suspicious. Shan Diao was worried and quickly circled around the room. Then he came to the door. Seeing that the old man was still thinking about something motionless, he did not stop himself. He looked into the room vigilantly, but did not find anyone. Instead, he saw many books, which looked a bit old.
"Report your identity." Shan Diao took a few steps back, aimed at the old man and asked.
The old man still closed his eyes and thought something. The mountain eagle looked around vigilantly and suddenly found that the other person looked towards the sun with a peaceful and enjoyable look. He couldn't help but feel annoyed and stepped forward, blocking the sun's light, and the shadow fell on the old man.
Perhaps because of the lack of sunshine, the old man suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Shan Diao and said in international common terms: "Young man, what do you want to do?"
"It will save you much more trouble when you can communicate. Tell you your identity." Shan Diao shouted coldly.
"The person outside the room has forgotten his name for a long time." The old man said lightly.
"Stop talking to me about these stupid things, answer whatever you ask or answer. Otherwise, I wouldn't mind burning this place and turning the hard work of your ancestors into a torch." Shan Diao said coldly.
"Young man, be careful to go to hell." The old man shouted angrily.
Seeing that the other party had no calmness as before, Shan Diao knew that it had hit the other party's weakness and sneered disdainfully: "Your hell can't lock me up, I'll give you a chance in the end, let me tell you."
"I have already said that I have forgotten my name. You can call me an unknown monk." The old man said dissatisfiedly, staring at the mountain eagle with calm eyes, which made him feel a little cold.
"Since that's the case, don't blame me for being rude." Shan Diao shouted angrily, about to take action.
"Wait a minute, you and I have the first time in our life to meet each other, have you ever had a grudge?" The old man was about to take action when he saw Shan Diao, without any fear at all. He couldn't help but be anxious and hurriedly chased after him.
"You and I have no grievances or grudges, but the organization behind you has done what you shouldn't do. Do you know there is a saying? Those who offend me, China will kill them." Shan Diao said coldly.
"I didn't expect that you are from China. My church is dedicated to goodness and pursues light and justice. The warriors of the church also have good intentions. They mainly protect the church and do not participate in secular disputes. It is impossible to go to China. This is stipulated by my church's doctrine. How can they infringe on your country?" the old man quickly explained.
"I think you are confused. What is the name of your church?" Shan Diaoqi was amused and asked back.
"The world is shrouded in darkness, people's hearts are dark, society is dark, the whole world is also dark, there are intrigues and deceptions everywhere, there is no trust between people, fighting for power and profit, losing their nature, and endless darkness covers the world. Human beings desire light and need light. Our teachings are enlightened by the Sun God to establish a dark church, meaning the church in the dark, and strive to bring light, freedom and equality to mankind." The old man said in a deep voice.
Shan Diao was even more happy when he heard this. Some people were stupid in reading, but they didn't expect that there were some people who practiced and practiced. They stared at the other party cautiously and found that the other party had no malice, but looked like a master who taught good things and saved the world. His face darkness became solemn. Not to mention the evil part, the teachings of the Dark Church are worthy of admiration. No wonder they can be passed down through the ages and exist to this day. Perhaps some of the people in power have selfish intentions.
However, Shan Diao was not interested in these things. When he heard Luo Zheng's voice coming from the headset, he knew that Luo Zheng was about to come up, so he took two steps back vigilantly and said in a deep voice: "Why are you the only one here?"
"I have always been here alone, guarding the scriptures, stealthily practicing, and not asking about worldly affairs. A thousand miles apart, who can not know my existence?" the old man asked curiously.
"I don't think it is necessary. This place has been listed as a forbidden area. Everyone outside has been bitten to death by poisonous snakes. The poisonous snake is kept by your charity warriors. Maybe you are a monk who truly practices and is good, but the people around you are probably different." Shan Diao said coldly.
"It is impossible. Everyone who joins the church must swear that they will never betray the doctrine or the church. Why do they do this?" the old man explained anxiously, as if he had been greatly insulted.
"I want to know too." Shan Diao said coldly, feeling that the old man in front of him was really a person who was devoted to practicing and did not know the inside story. This kind of person is indeed very suitable for learning, research, and care for classics. No wonder the Dark Church sent him here, at least the classics here will be preserved very well.
Not long after, Luo Zheng climbed up and looked around vigilantly. After exchanging a look with Shan Diao, his sharp eyes fell on the old man, and walked up and asked in a deep voice: "Are you from the Dark Church?" For Luo Zheng, it doesn't matter who the other party is, what is important is to figure out the identity behind it.
