After Jiwotou came in, we took a closer look and drank, isn’t this Xie Zhen?
"Hey, you're not too late, are you? I'm here to eat and drink." Xie Zhen touched his shiny hair and said with a smile.
"It's not too late, it's not too late."
When we saw Xie Zhen, we all stood up to greet him. After all, he was the third-ranked boss on the Tianban Ranking, and one of the best among the young and powerful people in the provincial capital.
It is easiest to get closer to each other at the wine table. After drinking and blushing, I asked drunkenly: "Brother Xie, you stay outside for a long time and don't always train at the Spiritual Adjustment Bureau. Is this okay?"
"Why not?" Xie Zhen also drank a little too much, and he said carelessly: "The journey of cultivation is not only about hard work and talent, but also about the state of mind."
"On the journey of cultivation, you must be clear about why you want to practice, and you must have a general direction in your mind, instead of practicing blindly. In that case, you are destined to not go far."
"In addition, I think that sometimes letting nature take its course is more helpful for you to make breakthroughs. Of course, I am not saying that you will stop practicing. Hard work and diligence are very necessary. But in the process of cultivation, especially during the bottleneck period, it may be possible to just practice hard.
On the contrary, it had the opposite effect. You have to give yourself a holiday, not only physically, but also mentally..."
"That makes sense. Brother Xie, your mentality is the right one..."
After hearing this, I thought for a moment and thought that every sentence made sense. Then I said with awe, "Listening to your words is worth ten years of reading. Come on, I'll toast you with this glass of wine."
After saying that, I drank the wine in one gulp.
I think what Xie Zhen said is quite reasonable.
If you don't even know what you are practicing for, how are you going to go far? I thought about it carefully and found that my original intention is still there, which is to become strong enough to protect my family and friends around me.
After drinking for three rounds, Xie Zhen staggered out of the hotel carrying his backpack full of homemade talismans and protective props. Before leaving, he said: "See you in the martial arts competition. I hope we can each gain a lot of money."
Achievements."
"Okay, let me lend you some good words!
We said with a smile.
After Xie Zhen left, we also paid the bill and left Chuancheng. We went to find a KTV nearby, got a private room, sang some songs, and went to sleep directly on the sofa in the middle of the night.
After dawn, the three of us returned to the Spiritual Adjustment Bureau. This time, our journey was smooth, and no one from Hell Gate blocked us. In fact, after the bats and fat cats attacked us last time, the Spiritual Adjustment Bureau strengthened its peripheral defenses.
As well as patrol intensity, once a fight breaks out nearby, the law enforcement team will rush to the scene as soon as possible.
It's as if no blind people attacked us this time.
After returning to the Spiritual Adjustment Bureau, we rushed directly to the mission hall to settle the commission fee.
"Uncle Xian, I have to trouble you again." Jiang Chen smiled.
"No trouble, no trouble, this should be the settlement fee. I see you just accepted a few commissions yesterday." Qi Xian said with a smile.
"Well, I've accepted three commissions. Let's see how we settle them." I handed the three commission orders to Qi Xian.
"Let's see... There's nothing wrong with the humanities commission from the University of Technology. You can get all the rewards... Hmm? Did you accept the commission for the No. 8 Middle School massacre?" When Qi Xian saw the second commission, he asked
His expression changed, he said.
"Yes." The three of us nodded.
"...You haven't received many commissions in total, but you frequently meet commissions that are highly valued by the Spiritual Investigation Bureau. It's really strange."
Qi Xian looked at us with strange eyes, and then said succinctly: "Let me tell you this, the Spiritual Investigation Bureau takes this commission very seriously, not only because the case itself caused the death of four people, but also because this case involves the Zhou family
Already..."
"Zhou family?"
Hearing this, my pupils shrank slightly. Judging from his tone, the Zhou family he was talking about must be the Zhou family among the five major families in Yang Province.
"Yes." Qi Xian nodded and said: "After review, Zhou Xiang admitted that he was responsible for the incident at No. 8 Middle School. Logically speaking, if Zhou Xiang committed such a big crime, even if Zhou Xiang is a minor, he should be sentenced to
It's not a problem if he has no time limit, but the difficulty is that he is from the Zhou family."
"This Zhou Xiang has no ghost energy fluctuations on his body, but he is actually a member of the Zhou family?" Jiang Chen was a little surprised. He had also seen people from the Zhou family in the past few years, but no matter how strong or weak they were, they seemed to have them.
The foundation of ghost energy."
"Although the Zhou family is a ghost energy family, it does not mean that everyone can cultivate ghost energy. Even in the Zhou family, there are quite a few people who do not have ghost energy. Zhou Xiang is one of them."
Qi Xian rolled his eyes and said: "Although Zhou Xiang is just a collateral disciple in the Zhou family and has no talent in ghost energy cultivation, he is still a member of the Zhou family. What's more, his father has a certain status in the Zhou family.
Yes, it’s a bit difficult to punish him severely, and now the senior officials of the Spiritual Adjustment Bureau are studying how to punish Zhou Xiang.”
I frowned, this Zhou Xiang is actually a member of the Zhou family, which makes me feel a little troublesome. With the protection of the big tree of the Zhou family, Zhou Xiang may not be punished as he should.
There will always be a dark side to the world. When the power reaches a certain level, even the most sinful people can escape the punishment of the law. I know this very well, but I still feel uncomfortable in my heart. I am unwilling to say: "Could it be that
Just because Zhou Xiang belongs to the Zhou family, should we treat him differently? Those four innocent souls died in vain?"
"That's not the case." Qi Xian said: "This case is too bad. It belongs to exorcism and killing, and must be punished. Otherwise, there will be more and more such things in the future, and Zhou Xiang is not a key member of the Zhou family.
The Zhou family won't protect him too much, so I estimate that even if Zhou Xiang won't be sentenced to life, he will definitely be sentenced to five or eight years."
Hearing this, I feel better. Being able to sentence him means that our efforts have not been in vain! Although the punishment is a little less, there is nothing we can do about it. Who let the other party be a member of the Zhou family? People are here.
It’s easy to enjoy the shade under a big tree, but there’s nothing I can do about it.
"Humph, this kind of scum should be severely punished!" Ye Yuyou said angrily.
"That's right." Jiang Chen and I nodded and said in unison.
Because the results of the interrogation came out last night, and Zhou Xiang admitted that he was responsible for the massacre in No. 8 Middle School, we have successfully solved this commission.
"This commission is an undefined commission because it involves ghosts and the children of the Zhou family, so the ghost points rewarded for this commission are changed to 8,000," Qi Xian said.
An undefined commission means that it is impossible to determine whether there is a ghost before solving it. This type of commission has a minimum limit. If there is no ghost, the reward will be this minimum limit. But if there is a ghost, the Spiritual Adjustment Bureau will increase the commission based on the difficulty of the task.
reward.
The massacre of the No. 8 Middle School this time is an undefined commission, which is of the same nature as the first commission we received to go to Yangcheng No. 8 Middle School.
"Although we haven't completed the third commission yet, we have determined the appearance and identity of the criminal. I have photos and recordings as evidence. Do you think we can get part of the reward for this commission?" Qi Xian looked at the third commission.
When entrusting the commission, I promptly reminded him and sent the photos and recordings I took at the scene to Qi Xian.
"Yes, as of now, you have contributed at least half to the progress of this task, and half-pay is not a big problem." Qi Xian said: "Of course, it is not necessarily true. If there is any unexpected development in this commission,
The remuneration you can share may be reduced accordingly."
"I understand." I nodded. In the process of solving the commission, countless unforeseen things may happen. Maybe there is a stronger existence behind the culprit who killed He Li's family. Until then, we
The contribution level will naturally decrease as the difficulty of the entrustment increases, and the remuneration will naturally decrease accordingly. This is normal.
"Yes, but if nothing else happens, half of the reward can still be obtained. I will contact you when the commission is resolved in the future," Qi Xian said to us.
Except for the third mission, for which we are currently unable to receive remuneration, we received full remuneration for the first two missions, and during this special period on the eve of the competition, the ghost points we received were three times the amount.
The two tasks add up to 14,000. Multiplied by three, we get 42,000 ghost points. This is already a good harvest, and the three of us can share it equally.
Overall, this trip went smoothly.
After thanking Qixian, we left the commission office. Before leaving the mission hall, we paused for a while on the ghost monument at the door.
Under the stimulation of the martial arts competition, during these days, all members who were able to break into the top 100 were cultivating ghost energy with all their strength.
In such a tense situation, the rankings on the Ghost Aura Monument should have undergone earth-shaking changes, but in fact it is completely the opposite. There has been almost no change in the rankings on the heaven and earth lists. Recently, even the people who came to test the strength of the ghost aura
Much less.
The same is true for me. During these days, I have never tested the strength of my ghost energy.
The reason for this is that I don't want to reveal my approximate strength on the eve of the competition. Theoretically speaking, everyone is my opponent, and letting my opponent know my approximate strength is an extremely unwise choice.
Therefore, most people choose to stay dormant during this period, looking forward to making a splash in the martial arts competition.
One month can make a lot of changes in strength. It can be expected that in the martial arts competition twenty days later, countless dark horses will inevitably emerge. Similarly, there will also be some old strong men who will be overthrown by newcomers.
Be a stepping stone for them to move forward.
This martial arts tournament will definitely be exciting!
Just when I was looking at the rankings on the world and earth lists, my ghost score card rang. I looked down and saw a call from Lin Wei. As soon as I got through, I heard Lin Wei anxiously say: "Ye Yan, you guys
