"——You must enter the narrow gate. For many people enter by the broad gate, which leads to destruction; but few find it by the narrow gate, which leads to eternal life."
Huang Huali curled up in Zheng Qing's arms, muttering sentences from the Gospel of Matthew in a low voice as if dreaming, and adding his own footnotes at the same time: "Now that you have David's key, your door has been opened a crack, the truth is
It’s true, if the door is closed, no one can open it, but if the door is open, no one can close it..."
Zheng Qing sighed softly.
“The last time I heard this sentence from the Gospel of Matthew, I was at Shangyuan Book Store, and the manager Xiao Yuan introduced me to a 19th-century French book bound in Paris.”
There was a bit of nostalgia in his tone: "I remember very clearly that the style of the Dharma calligraphy was flashy, using the second layer of Romanian fire dragon skin, and the mottos of the New Testament were imprinted on the gold-rolled mouth... Now think about it
, it seems like it happened a lifetime ago.”
The yellow tabby raised its tail, wiped the tears from the corners of its eyes with the tip of its tail, yawned, and raised one eyelid.
"Now is not the time to dwell on the past! You don't have that leisure time!"
It sounded sternly and looked at the boy: "Dan Hager's hearing only recognized your qualifications from a legal perspective, but if the relevant departments do not accept it, even if you reluctantly take office, you will only be an empty post... It will not help you at all.
"
There is no doubt about it.
No organization will welcome 'game-breakers' who break the existing interest pattern. Every piece of meat eaten by outsiders is taken away from other people's bowls.
Zheng Qing curled his lips.
"They dare to stuff people, do I dare to ask for them?" The young dean was very sober: "Especially for this kind of shadow institution in life, God knows what kind of people they will stuff to me..."
"Yes, why not!"
Huamao raised his head slightly and said solemnly: "You can use your own people for the core department, but in addition to the core, an organization also has many non-core 'business departments' or 'cannon fodder', just like those who control the edges."
A type of North District wizard. When the war starts, you can't use your core team as fill-in babies..."
While talking, one person and one cat had walked through winding alleys, shallow creeks, low hills, through lush woods, from the bustling town of Beta to a place deep in the silent forest.
Outside the wall.
The original color of the fence can no longer be seen.
The walls are covered with mottled moss and dense vines, but there are no flower sperms or grass sperms among the vines, making it look particularly dead. Through the gaps between the vine leaves, you can vaguely see the peeling wall skin inside, as well as the walls.
There are huge gray-white stones under the skin.
We walked several hundred meters around the wall.
Until due north, I saw a broken stone archway and a rotten wooden gate. The crooked plaque on the archway vaguely printed the words "Ziwei Palace", and there were some collapsed wooden structures around, like the skeletons of history.
There are still some horrific claw marks, tooth marks, and traces of cuts and fires.
Go through the rotten wooden gate.
Inside the wall, there are crooked stone corridors, dry pools, arch bridges, temples, stone statues half buried in the soil and headless terracotta warriors, as well as withered bamboo forests and huge dark green locust trees.
An atmosphere of dilapidation and desolation.
Zheng Qing hugged the cat and came to the huge locust tree.
There were already four figures standing under the tree, three of them were wearing wide hoods and did not show their faces, and the remaining one was a tall old wizard with white hair, a long beard, a ruddy complexion, and a tall figure.
, hug Yangzi.
"professor."
Zheng Qing said hello very politely, his eyes swept over the other three people, with a touch of alienation in his tone: "Sorry, this place is not easy to find."
The three wizards continued to be silent.
Master Baoyangzi, on the other hand, took a deep look at him - before graduation, he had served as Zheng Qing's elective course teacher. In his impression, he was a very humble young man who kept his edge aside and was not as sharp as he is now.
"——The offices of relevant departments are very secretive and difficult to find."
The old wizard folded his hands, nodded briefly, and then gestured with his eyes: "How is it? This place is not bad as a base for 'Order', right? There is plenty of magic power, smooth earth energy, and a quiet environment... This place used to be an illegal cult.
The lair of the regiment, they worshiped an evil god,
It bewitched many wizards, including some young people from Atlas... Because it involved a wide range of areas, it was difficult for the school to take action, so the relevant departments finally came forward to ban it... Of course, in the eyes of outsiders,
This sect was destroyed because of the evil god."
Having said this, he paused, glanced at the other three people rather unhappily, and hummed: "——In addition, these few will be your colleagues in the future, so let's get to know each other today. Take off your hats
…There are no outsiders here!”
At the last sentence, his voice already had a serious tone.
The three of them were silent for a moment, then took off their hoods one after another, revealing ordinary faces.
Check out the correct version one by one!
An old wizard, a middle-aged witch, and a young wizard.
"Seven." The old wizard cherished words like gold.
"Eleven." The middle-aged witch's voice was a little gentler, but it was limited.
"Thirteen." The young wizard's voice was a little cold, and he looked at Zheng Qing with no emotion at all, as if he was looking at a piece of wood.
"These are the code names of the three of them in the relevant departments."
Master Baoyangzi glanced at the three of them with a troubled look, and then turned to Zheng Qing: "——The relevant departments have more rules. If you stay there for a long time, your mood will become indifferent. The word "seven" comes from inadequacy.
"Eleven" comes from Eden and is the deputy director of Eden; "Thirteen" comes from Babel and is the deputy tower master of Babel... Don't look at his young appearance, in fact he is
He's not much younger than me."
The old wizard introduced it nonchalantly.
The yellow raccoon dog in Zheng Qing's arms raised its tail and scratched the young dean's arm. Zheng Qing knew what it meant. The relevant departments originally only sent deputies from the three major agencies to see him, which already explained a lot of problems.
"——Where is my code name? Four? Five? Six?" Zheng Qing suddenly spoke up, interrupting Master Baoyangzi's words.
The old man was stunned for a moment and shook his head: "—No, no, no, their code names are only related to the order in which they join the relevant departments, but the department heads are not among them."
As he spoke, he glanced at the tabby cat in the boy's arms and added: "For example, if your cat plans to join a relevant department, it may get a number like '249', but if it is you, the department
People inside and outside are usually referred to by the name of the organization. Just like Mr. Bu Zhou, our own people will call him 'Shan Chief', and people outside will call him 'Bu Zhou'... You will gradually understand these little things in the future."
