Dandu stroked the tie under his neck. It was a spiritual object that could shield his soul from prying eyes. However, he felt that there were clear traces of spiritual power sweeping through it just now.
Dan Bohu was doubting him.
Why doubt him?
He asked himself that he had not done anything irregular before.
Family gathering?
His instinctive feeling was that something was wrong.
Especially the situation in Yunan City is even more horrifying when you think about it deeply.
Based on his many years of experience, he could roughly guess what the city department wanted to do, but this idea made him feel cold all over.
Although he is a bureaucrat who takes orders from the City Department and is the most obedient hawk in the eyes of the citizens, he still has some limits of his own.
Tomorrow's family gathering should be the time for a showdown...
Before that, he needs to meet someone.
At midnight, the inspectors from the Inspectorate Office rushed into the Daolu, saying that they wanted to seal the place. They deliberately chose a time when the workers were not around to prevent the workers from getting together with the people in the Daolu. Although the people in the Daolu did not
Plan to push workers out.
The people in the Daolu did not choose to fight, and left here silently, watching coldly as the people from the Procuratorate locked the Daolu, and watched as these people read out the decree requiring them to leave within a time limit.
Before the clerk left, a person thrust a note into Wei Yu's hand. The latter was startled. At this moment, he couldn't help but wonder if it was a trap, but he felt it with his senses and put it away.
Come down.
After he read the contents on the note, he put the note away again and put it away solemnly.
On the second day, Wei Yu came to a remote corner in the south of the city. Although there were few people here, the viewing angle was wide. Looking from here, he could just see the Bell and Drum Towers facing each other in the distance. At the same time, he also felt
Someone is looking at me there.
He stood still, and not long after, footsteps came slowly, as if someone was coming to let him know that he had no hostility. After the footsteps stopped, Dandu took off his covering hat and said: "Master Wei, I
I knew you would come."
Wei Yu looked at him with careful eyes.
Dandu spread his hands and said calmly: "I am the only one here today, and there is no one around to monitor me. Even if Master Wei takes care of me here, no one will notice me within three days."
Wei Yu said in a deep voice: "Why did you come to me here?"
Dandu sighed and said: "The situation in the city is a bit complicated, and we cannot leave Daolu."
Wei Yu looked at him in surprise.
Dandu said helplessly: "Don't look at me like that. The Procuratorate is following the orders of the City Hall, but that doesn't mean I think the same way."
Wei Yu said: "You have blocked the road."
Dandu said: "But I didn't drive you away. Although the City Department requested so, I can delay it for one day with the excuse that it may cause fierce confrontation and mainly to persuade."
Wei Yu said: "Tell me, what exactly happened?"
Dandu said happily: "I have indeed found the right person. You are the only one who is willing to sincerely contribute to this city at this time." He paused and said, "Does Yunan City know?"
Weiyu's expression became more serious and he said: "I heard a little bit, are you saying that this matter is also related to us?"
The Taoist huts in Yunan City were also expelled. At that time, the Taoist masters even communicated with them before leaving. However, contact was cut off later.
And they are busy from beginning to night every day, and can only take care of the things in front of them. When they hear this, they can only express some regrets in their hearts, and they have no time or energy to care about things elsewhere.
Dandu solemnly said: "After Yunan Daolu was driven away, the city soon disappeared. I suspect that what happened there will happen again here in Linhui City."
Weiyu became much more serious and said, "What are the people above planning to do?"
Dandu shook his head and said: "I don't know yet, I'm also checking, but I suspect that the people in the city department may have performed some kind of spiritual transformation ceremony."
Wei Yu couldn't help but widen his eyes and said: "You mean..."
Dandu said: "I hope I guessed wrong, but as the director of the Procuratorate, my responsibilities do not allow me to be unprepared, and I am not strong enough, so I can only come to you at the moment."
Wei Yu said: "It seems we can't leave."
Dandu said: "No, you still have to leave. If you don't leave, the city department will let the prosecutor's office deal with you. That will first consume the power of the prosecutor's office. If it fails, they will also use them.
I have no excuse to resist them, and if I don’t do it, someone else will do it, and the result will be a waste of strength for both of us.”
Wei Yu heard that he had a plan and said: "Then where can we go?"
Dandu said: "The Jishiguan has a manor outside the city. It was built on my watch. The higher-ups don't know this place. Where do you go first? I have a family gathering tomorrow. I think there may be one at that time.
Answer: I will go and take part, and I will arrange everything. If I don’t come out safely, it’s up to you to come down.”
Wei Yu said: "Can't we take action in advance?"
Dandu shook his head and said: "I'm not as pedantic as you think, but I am allowed to sit in this position because I have certain restrictions. Unless they show behavior that violates the law, I can't use force.
Resist them."
He put on his hat, pressed the brim again, and said, "No matter what happens, I will try my best."
After finishing speaking, he nodded to Wei Gu, turned around and left.
He did not suggest that Weiyu go find the Taoist master in the west of the city. He did not know what the relationship between the two was. If he had made the suggestion on his own initiative, he might have thought it was some kind of conspiracy. Not to mention that Taolu was facing such a big threat.
If you are looking for foreign aid, you will definitely go to this one.
Even if the Taolu is not completed, if he sees a scene he doesn't want to see, he will definitely stop it, for no reason, just because of his remaining conscience.
In the Tong family's residence, Zhiyao watched as the curtains were drawn to block the sight of those watching outside. She said to Tong He: "The City Department has begun to evict Daolu. It seems that they will take action in the next two days."
She said to Tong He: "We have to make a choice. You are the head of the family. Which side do you decide to bet on?"
Tong He sighed: "It's not like you don't know the disadvantages of spiritual transformation. I don't want to, but can we fight against so many people?"
Zhiyao said: "You should know that those Taoist masters are also powerful."
Tong He hesitated: "But they have never won before. At most they only maintained the situation. They did nothing when Yunan City was destroyed. Now the situation is getting worse..."
Zhiyao said: "If we wanted to agree, we could have agreed long ago. If we agreed, would we still be selfish? I don't want to, and neither do our sons and daughters."
Seeing that Tong He was still hesitating, she said, "I had a few words with that Taoist Zhang."
"How is this person?" Tong He immediately raised his head and looked at her.
Zhiyao said: "If it were me, I would bet on this person. Don't ask me why. This is my spiritual intuition. It's not because I saved our daughter."
Tong He said with a complicated expression: "Yes, I know, you have always been more rational than me."
Zhiyao said: "This is not a good thing. You know, I have always envied you. You have a superior bloodline and can maintain abundant emotions. You are usually sentimental. In this era, this is already a luxury."
Tong He sighed: "You know, this is exactly what the great spirits want, so they didn't take away my emotions."
Everyone's emotions are resources that can be used by spiritual beings, just like the poor in the city. Their only value is that they can use their emotions to involve many spiritual beings and make them available to the upper class of the city. But when their emotions dry up, then
Just throw it away like trash.
However, the great spirit needs to be transmitted by blood. If the flesh and blood creature that carries the body has no emotions, then the reproduction of offspring will be fewer than one generation. Therefore, people with superior bloodline will be allowed to retain their own emotions, and due to the attention of superior spiritual beings,
Naturally, some lower-level spiritual beings would not dare to invade.
The world thinks this is a preference from the Great Spirit, but in fact it is trapping their own prey in advance and waiting to harvest it when the conditions are ripe.
Tong He said: "By the way, he is willing to help us?" Zhi Yao said: "Not just helping us, but also helping the civilians in the city."
"Then what conditions did he put forward?"
Zhiyao said: "Proposed."
Tong He asked nervously: "What is it?"
Zhiyao said: "It's a bit strange. He needs to know the records of our interactions with spiritual beings, our family's and ordinary people's. In short, he wants records of our contact with spiritual beings since ancient times."
Tong He was very surprised. These things were considered valuable. Some things were only known to them, people with superior bloodline, so there were no records outside.
But compared to a person who can fight against the Great Spirit, this is nothing.
In the final analysis, some things are only hidden from people with low levels of power. Once you reach a high level, these are no secrets, and there is nothing to care about.
He thought for a moment and said, "Then give it to him. I don't think there's anything bad about this condition."
Zhiyao said: "What I know has been written down spiritually on the spot, but I feel that these are not enough." He looked at Tong He and said, "I think you should go see this person in person."
Tong He felt a little puzzled: "Isn't it enough to have a wife?"
Zhiyao said: "I'm not asking you to show your respect, but I don't know what will happen when you come down. You may have a conflict with the Great Spirit when you come down. You go see him and let him recognize you. Maybe you can help him at the critical moment."
I can protect you."
Tong Heyi was speechless for a moment, and he tried to resist: "Madam, I'm not that useless." Zhiyao stared at him, and he suddenly became discouraged and said: "Okay, okay, I'll see you, I'll see you.
"
While the two of them were talking, their expressions suddenly changed. They both rushed to the window and dropped several rays of light like silver waterfalls from the sky in the direction of the city hall.
The two people looked at each other solemnly. They knew exactly what it was. There were at least three big spirits reflected there just now. They didn't know if there would be more.
