Taoist Priest Bai Lian and the others also had red eyes just like me.
"Brothers, let's say goodbye. There is no banquet in the world that never ends. For the sake of the world and for such unnecessary things, we can never see each other again. Goodbye, everyone."
Li Daihe suddenly entered the coffin, walked up to me, and helped me out of the coffin. I didn't dare to look back, because I was afraid that my emotions would collapse uncontrollably.
I don’t know how long I walked, but the energy I had been holding on to finally collapsed and I fell asleep.
I don’t know how long I slept, but it was because my stomach was so hungry that I woke up. Looking at the exquisitely decorated ceiling, I stood up suddenly, but because I hesitated to sleep for too long, my head went dark.
He lay back down again.
Where is this?
"Li Daihe! Li Daihe?" I called Li Daihe's name loudly, and with a click, the mahogany door at the door was opened wide, and I saw Li Daihe walking in with a small pot of mung bean porridge, wearing a red suit behind him.
The uniformed waiter also came in with bowls and chopsticks and a few plates of side dishes and placed them in front of me.
"Tianju, you are hungry, come and drink some porridge." Li Daihe smiled and handed me a bowl of mung bean porridge. Because I was so hungry, I took the porridge and drank it all in a few mouthfuls. Li Daihe gave me another
I presented him with a bowl. After I drank it, I touched my comfortable stomach and asked him, "Li Daihe, where are we? Why are we here?"
Li Daihe looked at me and said helplessly: "Tianju, you don't know, you have been sleeping for three days. Three days ago, I was carrying you out of the sea in Kowloon but was blocked by a group of people.
On the way out, at that time, I originally wanted to resist violently, but you were unconscious and I was carrying you on my back. The opponent was outnumbered, so I had to give in.
However, later they brought us to a large and luxurious hotel in the capital, which is the hotel we are staying in now. They arranged you to sleep here and invited a doctor to come to check your body.
, and he’s the one who gave you the nutrient solution, so I don’t think he’s a bad person.”
"You said, this is the capital?" I asked him again uncertainly.
"Yes." He answered me with a serious expression.
With a click, the mahogany door was opened again, and two men and a woman walked in. Among them was an old man wearing a traditional Chinese tunic suit with a white beard on his chin, and the other man and a woman followed him.
Behind him, he looks like a follower.
"Are you...?" I watched the three people walking towards me, and Li Daihe couldn't help but ask.
The old man smiled politely at him and then sat by the bed and said, "Brother Li, can you please go out for a while? I want to talk to this little brother Zhang alone."
"No, Tianju has just woken up. If you want to do something, he won't be able to defeat you." Li Daihe said dissatisfied.
I secretly want to laugh, we are indeed brothers.
"It's okay Li Daihe, please go out." I glanced at the old man and said to Li Daihe.
"This... okay." Li Daihe originally wanted to say something, but after taking a look at me, he had to agree. The man and the woman followed Li Daihe out of the room, not forgetting to close the door at the end.
"How are you? How are you resting?" The old man stroked his beard and looked at me with a smile.
"It's not bad, I'm about seven or eight better already." I answered him with a smile and didn't directly ask him why he brought me here.
To be able to block me at the seaside in Kowloon, they must have known about Qisha Ming. Of course, if they knew about Qisha Ming, then they must have known my details very clearly. This time they took me
I was brought here with such a pretentious behavior, so there must be something that needs me. Anyway, there is no threat, and I don't need to speak first to put myself in a passive situation.
The old man was still smiling, and he took out a business card from his jacket pocket and handed it to me: "Brother Zhang, okay, I am the leader of the National Xuanling Group. They all call me Mr. Gu.
Regarding local affairs, the country expresses its gratitude to you and your companions for taking action."
I glanced at the business card in my hand, handed it back to the old man who called himself Mr. Gu, and said, "So?"
Mr. Gu looked a little apologetic: "We are very sorry that we did not help, causing you to lose some of your companions, but there is a reason for this. The linguist of our Xuanling Group told us that things about the Seven Evils will naturally be destined.
If we, the outsiders, rush to investigate, it will only lead to some unimaginable consequences, and our Xuanling Group cannot bear these consequences.
Brother Zhang, we all know what happened to you in Guangling Village, and we know that you are a very good talent.
Our Xuanling Group was established when the People's Republic of China was founded, specifically to deal with some strange events that cannot be explained by science for the country. Just like you spiritual masters, there are many capable people and strangers in our group.
After seeing these deeds of yours, Little Brother Zhang, and after discussions with our senior management, I feel that you are a good talent, so on behalf of the Xuanling Group, I would like to invite you to join us."
I lowered my head and refused with a somewhat shaken expression: "Forget it, it is precisely because I have experienced so many things that I can cherish my life better. Now the Seven Evils have been suppressed at the place where Kowloon goes to the sea.
All I wanted to do after that was to return to my hometown, be an ordinary spiritual master, and not worry about anything else."
Mr. Gu squinted his eyes and suddenly came up to me, startling me. He said lightly: "Don't you think Brother Zhang doesn't want to find the statue of Lord Siming Ghost?"
I was startled and raised my head to look at Mr. Gu with a complicated expression: "How do you know?"
Mr. Gu chuckled, sat upright and said, "I know that there is much more than that. There are many ancient books in the Xuanling Group, and those can only be seen by people of such a high rank as me.
.”
"Do you know where the statue of Lord Siming is?"
Mr. Gu did not answer me, but still asked me without giving up: "On behalf of all the members of the Xuanling Group, I invite you, Zhang Tianju, to join our Xuanling Group. Are you willing?"
My expression changed and I returned to my cold state, almost falling into his trap.
"There are so many talented people in the world, why did you, Mr. Gu, find me?"
Mr. Gu said with a smile: "Because, little brother Zhang, you are really for the sake of the world, and it is not a simple matter to suppress the Qi Sha Ming. I have also heard about the power of the Qi Sha Ming, and the Red Sha Ming."
It’s not that I don’t know about the matter. I think you are very capable and the country doesn’t want to miss out on such a talented person like you.”
I was slightly moved: "Then tell me what benefits can I get?"
Mr. Gu put away his playful expression and said, "If you look through those ancient books casually, there might be some way for you and Miss Dai to be together safely, or there might be some clues about the statue of the master of the ghosts and gods."
"Okay, I'm in!"
If you can get twice the result with half the effort, why not do it? Just...
"I have a request. If the tasks assigned to me by your Xuanling Team threaten my life, I have the right to choose to give up midway."
"No problem. We can also reimburse the fare and other expenses when traveling far away. There will also be salary every month, and there will be bonuses for completing the task." Mr. Gu not only agreed readily, but also provided a series of benefits.
I nodded and expressed my satisfaction: "Okay, that's it for now. Oh, by the way, when are you going to send me and my friend back?"
Mr. Gu stood up and said, "There's no rush yet. You should take good care of yourself first. We will naturally arrange to send you and your friends back by then."
My expression changed: "No, I'll just stay here to recuperate. Please send my friend home first."
Mr. Gu smiled kindly: "No problem." After that, he went out.
After a while, Li Daihe walked in.
"Tianju, just outside, the old man and the two people were talking together. I heard them saying that they wanted to send me back. Why me? What about you?"
I smiled lightly and answered him: "The old man's name is Mr. Gu. He asked me to recover my health here before going back. In the meantime, you can go home first."
Li Daihe looked at me with a strange expression on his face: "Tianju, are you driving me away?"
I was stunned, and he sat down again and continued: "Zhang Tianju, are you starting to dislike me as a burden? So you want to drive me back? I'm not a fool. I know that these people suddenly found us and there must be nothing good going on. Qi
The fateful thing was such a big fuss before, and people who are interested will still know it if they want to know it. Do you think they are forcing you to dare to do any bad things? "
I chuckled, raised my hand and slapped him on the head.
"Oh, let me go, Tianju, why are you hitting me? I'm serious about settling matters with you."
I smiled and said: "What nonsense are you thinking about? Huh? I, Zhang Tianju, look like the kind of person who can be threatened casually. I really want to stay here for a while. After all, the capital is far away from Guangling Village.
It’s too far. I’m not in good health right now, so I’m not suitable for long journeys. I asked you to go back first simply because I want you to go back and help me look after my house. I haven’t been back for a damn long time. Please go back and show me what will happen.
.”
"Is this really true?" Li Daihe still didn't believe it.
"Of course." I looked at him with a very serious expression.
"Okay, I reluctantly believe you."
I looked at Li Daihe, the brother I grew up with, the brother I have experienced life and death with. Now that the Qisha Ming incident has passed, I don’t want him to get involved in the Xuanling Group.
Gone inside.
The Xuanling Group, an organization that specializes in dealing with supernatural matters, must have many dangerous and difficult tasks. I don't want my brother to accompany me on my adventures.
