They never imagined that it would develop like this.
I never thought that Xin Yuheng would propose cooperation.
You know, the people in the Beidou Society are not very good.
At least Qin Wenyuan and the others met no one who said they wanted to cooperate, except for Tianji who could cooperate for a while.
And Tianji... was forced to cooperate with Qin Wenyuan.
But what about the new Yuheng?
But he took the initiative to send an invitation to Qin Wenyuan to cooperate with Qin Wenyuan.
This really surprised and surprised them.
Qin Wenyuan looked at Tianji and said, "It seems that you are also surprised, so..."
He said: "Tianji, do you think this matter... is to a certain extent true or false?"
"Xin Yuheng, do you really want to cooperate with me?"
Tianji heard Qin Wenyuan's words and stopped arguing with Qin Wenyuan.
She frowned, thought for a moment, and then said, "It's hard to say."
"It stands to reason that this new Yuheng was promoted by Beichen and should be a person from Beichen."
"But the people in the Beidou Club are all very independent and capable people."
"With such a person, anything is possible."
"So, if there is any reason why this new Yuheng must go against Beichen, then it is possible for her to take the initiative to seek cooperation with you."
"but……"
Tianji paused and said: "What I said is possible, but it is a certain possibility, not certain~"
"After all, Beichen is so cunning. He may have deliberately let Xin Beichen lure you into the trap."
When Sishe heard this, she felt that what Tianji said was completely different from what she didn't say.
Still not sure?
But Qin Wenyuan heard something special from Tianji's words.
He looked at Tianji, picked it lightly with his finger, and said, "So, are you leaning towards the direction where Xin Yuheng is really likely to... find me to cooperate?"
Tianji was not surprised that Qin Wenyuan heard his thoughts. If a monster like Qin Wenyuan didn't hear his thoughts, then something was wrong.
She nodded and said: "Yes, I think there is a certain probability that this new Yuheng really wants to cooperate with you."
"First of all, you also said that the situation at that time was that the door was behind you and there was an ambush behind the door."
"So, if Xin Yuheng really wants to deal with you, really wants to harm you, then if she shouts a few times at that time, the people behind the door may be able to hear her and come out."
"In that case, you will definitely be in danger!"
Qin Wenyuan nodded slightly: "It is indeed possible!"
Tianji continued: "Secondly, it's not like Beichen would do something so obvious that would make you suspicious."
"If you let Xin Yuheng pretend to cooperate with you, you will definitely be suspicious of Xin Yuheng. When the time comes, if you try to trick him, he will be in danger."
"Not to mention, Xin Yuheng can find you, so Beichen will definitely be able to find you. He is not a person who likes to beat around the bush, so he can attack you directly, so there is no need to rely on Xin Yuheng."
"So, based on what I know about him, it's unlikely that Beichen would do such a crooked thing... Of course, if he has other conspiracies, that's another story."
Qin Wenyuan glanced at Tianji, tapped his fingers lightly on the table, and then nodded: "What you said makes sense."
"That's it, I'll think about it again."
He stopped continuing the topic and asked: "During my absence, has anyone come to see us?"
Sishe shook her head: "No."
Qin Wenyuan nodded: "That'll be fine."
He glanced outside. It was very dark outside and no sound could be heard. It seemed that Xin Yuheng had really done nothing.
He said: "It's getting late, let's all go to bed. Tomorrow is the day of pilgrimage. It is expected to be very lively. For us, there may be some unexpected gains."
After saying that, he lay down directly.
Sishe and Tianji looked at each other and lay down one after another without any further delay.
Soon, there was no sound in the room.
Qin Wenyuan was lying flat on his back with his eyes open, staring blankly at the beams above his head.
He was thinking about Xin Yuheng.
To be honest, Qin Wenyuan was really surprised by Xin Yuheng's sudden request for cooperation.
This was the first person from the Beidou Society to actively approach him for cooperation.
…………
If he can really cooperate with Xin Yuheng, there is no doubt that it will be of great benefit to him.
This is equivalent to having an internal response directly in the Beidou Club.
This temptation for Qin Wenyuan is huge.
Qin Wenyuan also wants to cooperate with Xin Yuheng.
But he was worried that Xin Yuheng's motives were impure, or in other words, it was simply a trap.
Therefore, he came back to ask Tianji. Based on Tianji's understanding of the Beidou Society, he might be able to give him some constructive suggestions.
Sure enough, Tianji gave him advice.
But Tianji's opinion is too obvious.
She had never met Xin Yuheng, nor had she personally experienced her situation at that time, so she tended to believe that Xin Yuheng sincerely wanted to cooperate with her.
This point... made Qin Wenyuan a little concerned.
He always has a feeling.
Tianji, it seems... really wants to promote cooperation between himself and Xin Yuheng.
Is this... an illusion?
Or, what role did Tianji play in it?
The night passed by without any incident.
The next day, early in the morning, there was a loud noise outside.
At the same time, the drumming sound also sounded.
Qin Wenyuan was in a daze and felt the thunder of war drums, which almost caused him to fight with the enemy in his dream.
Then, under Si She's soft call, she slowly opened her eyes.
"what sound?"
Qin Wenyuan yawned. He glanced outside and saw that the sky was just getting dark and it was not very bright.
There is only a ray of sunlight shining from the east.
This is really not a good time to get up.
Si She said: "It seems that there is some kind of ceremony outside to welcome Empress Beidou and to welcome Empress Beidou's consciousness into the statue."
Qin Wenyuan curled his lips and said: "If nothing else, if I were Empress Beidou, they would wake me up so early in the morning and prevent me from having a good night's sleep, and they still expect me to bless them. Just dream."
Complaints are complaints.
Qin Wenyuan stretched and stood up.
He put on his clothes, washed briefly, and then said, "Let's go, it's so lively outside, let's go take a look."
"Welcome to the gods? I am really curious about how they welcome the gods."
As he spoke, Qin Wenyuan walked to the door and opened it.
As soon as the door opened, the thumping sound became more obvious.
The sound resounded in the ears, causing the eardrums to hurt.
"It's a crime to disturb people!"
He muttered something and walked out of the room.
Without the guidance of people in Beidou Temple, you can find the place where the ceremony is being held just by listening to the sound.
After passing through the corridor, we came to the square below the Beidou Tower.
At this time, the square was full of people.
Many believers are praying devoutly here.
In front of the believers, there is a large altar.
On the altar, there is a statue of Beidou Empress.
The statue is covered with gold paint and looks magnificent.
Qin Wenyuan took a look and found that this statue should be a statue on the third floor of the Beidou Tower.
And this statue has a gentle and kind smile on its face, which is very healing at first sight.
"The statue of Taihe City?"
Qin Wenyuan raised his eyebrows slightly.
"The Beidou Temple in Dali City holds pilgrimage activities. Why don't you use your own statues instead of Taihe City's statues?"
"Do you think the statues here look sad and look ugly?"
Qin Wenyuan was a little puzzled.
Sishe and Tianji obviously recognized it. This statue looked like the one they had seen in Taihe City before.
Both of them were also a little surprised.
Qin Wenyuan turned around and looked around, and found a believer who was praying devoutly. He went over to get close to him and said, "This is my first time to participate in the pilgrimage in Dali City. Have you participated before, brother?"
The man nodded and said, "This is the fifth time I have participated."
"oh?"
Qin Wenyuan said: "Then you must be very pious and experienced?"
The man looked at the statue of Lady Beidou with a pious expression on his face: "Yes, I faithfully believe in Lady Beidou..."
Qin Wenyuan showed his enthusiasm and asked: "This is my first time here. This statue is so majestic. Has it been this statue before?"
The man shook his head and said: "It wasn't this statue before, but Lady Beidou has had tens of millions of incarnations, so there are naturally tens of millions of statues, so it doesn't matter which statue it is."
"The important thing is that we must have a pious heart and have absolute faith in Empress Beidou. As long as we sincerely believe, Empress Beidou will definitely bless us."
Qin Wenyuan: "...What you said makes sense."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
This believer seems to have advanced to become a missionary.
However, this person solved one of his doubts.
It seems that it is not my illusion, but this statue is indeed the statue of Taihe City.
If so, that would be interesting.
The sad statue that has been used many times is not used, but the smiling statue is used.
Does this have any special meaning?
Qin Wenyuan felt that he didn't dislike the sad statue crying.
After all, if you dislike it, you should have replaced it long ago. There is no need to put so much effort into building such a sad statue.
Therefore, there is obviously nothing wrong with the sad expression of the sad statue.
So, what is the purpose of using the smiling statue of Taihe City this time?
Qin Wenyuan squinted his eyes, filled with doubts.
Qin Wenyuan really felt that this pilgrimage was more and more interesting.
The idols are completely different from those in the past, and the tradition that has remained unchanged for many years has suddenly changed this year. If there is no problem with the pilgrimage this time, Qin Wenyuan probably will not believe it even a fool.
But, why will the pilgrimage change this time?
Is it because of yourself?
Or is there any special reason?
He didn't know much about Beidou Temple, so even though he was extremely smart, it was difficult to deduce more things based on these limited clues at this time.
"We need more clues!"
Qin Wenyuan sighed in his heart.
"Believer, you are here! I am still looking for you!"
At this moment, a familiar voice suddenly sounded behind Qin Wenyuan.
Qin Wenyuan followed the sound and saw that the Taoist who had been fooled by him yesterday was stunned and waving to him.
"Here he comes, he comes with clues and secrets..."
The moment Qin Wenyuan saw this Taoist, this sentence automatically appeared in his mind.
He suddenly showed an extremely kind and gentle smile and said hurriedly: "Taoist Master, you are here too. What a coincidence. Sure enough, we are all favored by Empress Beidou. We can meet so many people. What kind of fate is this?"
.”
As soon as the Taoist heard that he was favored by Empress Beidou, the smile on his face became even wider.
He laughed and said, "Yes, we are all favored by Empress Beidou."
"When I woke up early yesterday, I had a feeling that I would meet a noble person. It seems that you, brother, are my noble person."
Qin Wenyuan said modestly: "No, no, you are my noble one."
At the same time, he continued in his heart: "After all, you told me so many secrets..."
Sishe and Tianji on the side looked at Qin Wenyuan and the Taoist holding hands and complimenting each other, and they really didn't know what to say.
Qin Wenyuan, on the other hand, would say something to the Taoist in the east and west, until the Taoist was confused.
After that, he started talking nonsense.
He looked at the Taoist and said, "Taoist, I just heard someone say that this year's statues are different from those in previous years. Is this true?"
Qin Wenyuan's face is sincere, and his eyes are full of curiosity and innocence.
The Taoist who saw this couldn't bear to answer.
Sishe and Tianji also raised their ears and listened secretly at this time.
The Taoist nodded and said: "Yes, this year's statues are indeed different from those in previous years."
"why?"
Qin Wenyuan asked: "On such a solemn day of pilgrimage, why do we need to change the statues? Wouldn't this make Empress Beidou loyal?"
The Taoist sighed in his heart, he is really a devout believer, and he is worried that Empress Beidou will not change her ways."
His smile became softer and he said, "Don't worry, Lady Beidou has a gentle and broad heart, and she won't care about such a trivial matter at all."
"As for why the statue was changed this time, it was an order from above, and I don't know the reason."
"Order from above?"
Qin Wenyuan's eyes flashed and he asked: "The one you mentioned...is the number nine you mentioned last night?"
The Taoist tilted his head, thought for a while, and said: "Maybe, maybe it's Number 9, maybe it's someone taller, but no one told me who it is, and I don't dare to ask, so I don't know.
"
Qin Wenyuan nodded.
What Taoist means is actually very obvious.
This order was not issued by the superiors of Beidou Temple in Dali City.
But someone higher up.
So, it's either Xin Yuheng.
Or...maybe it's Beichen!
But who it is specifically, this Taoist does not have enough status to know.
"correct."
At this time, the Taoist suddenly said: "I am going to recommend you to become a lucky believer."
"What?"
Qin Wenyuan was startled and looked at the Taoist with some confusion.
Sishe and Tianji also showed doubtful expressions.
The Taoist patted his head and said, "Look at my head, I even forgot to mention it."
