After a while, not too long after taking off, Tao Hailiang finally couldn't control his previous worries and took the initiative to strike up a conversation with Xiong Jiandong.
He asked: "Both of you are from Huai City, right? Are you coming to the capital for official business or to do business?"
"No, this is the first time to go to Huaishang." Xiong Jiandong replied: "Our identity is that we are people who practice the Tao."
"Infinite View!"
Miao Xin put her palms together and saluted Tao Hailiang from the opposite side.
Only then did Tao Hailiang notice Miao Xin's lap, holding a dust brush in front of her.
He further asked Xiong Jiandong tentatively: "Are the two Taoist priests going to the Shanngling Shenzong General Altar in Linhuai County to participate in the seventh-year enthronement celebration of Sect Master Hui the day after tomorrow?"
Xiong Jiandong did not expect that Tao Hailiang would actually address Huichang Yuan as the sect master. At the same time, because he had just heard about the seventh-year enthronement celebration, he could only reply with a specious "Huh".
Tao Hailiang thought he had confirmed Xiong Jiandong's Taoist identity, and immediately felt relaxed and had no intention of paying attention to him and Miao Xin anymore.
He flirted and smiled with Qiu Xiangya, pulled her into his arms wantonly, and kissed her face several times.
Xiong Jiandong saw all of Tao Hailiang's intimate behavior as if there was no one around, making him feel uncomfortable all over.
Xiong Jiandong's heart was hard to calm down for a while.
It has been almost two months since he was reborn under the ancient tree of Jiuwei Lake, transformed into a golden python by the Lotus Pond Jiao King, and was gifted the Prince Sword.
In the meantime, first relying on the power of the Prince's Sword in his hand, he and Brother Zhang became acquainted with each other on Mount Jiuwei, and they became sworn brothers of the opposite sex.
Then he met Miao Xin at the Nvwa Empress Temple. The two also had a close friendship and a deep understanding. However, Miao Xin's Taoist etiquette and virtue of pure cultivation were hindered.
step.
Later, after Xiong Jiandong returned to the capital, he first lived in the beggar team of Zhang Dacheng and Aunt Yang, and worked as a beggar gang counselor and king for a period of time, until he was found by Hou Yiying in every possible way and joined the Special Intelligence Bureau's Operation Huangying.
team and became an unorganized temporary agent.
Now, after experiencing a bloody battle with Tuhan terrorists in Bald Eagle Ridge, being trapped in the desert, and finally being rescued by Miaoxin, and then pretending to be Uma people Ishikawa Yu, Kasa Miqun and his wife sneaked to the Middle East, and in I?S
Huracide of the National Front brigade made clever arrangements and was constantly exposed to dangerous situations, which made Xiong Jiandong rarely think about his original identity as Hua Nianping before his rebirth.
But today, he unexpectedly ran into Tao Hailiang on the plane, which could not help but stir up his mood again and again.
If he were staying with Tao Hailiang at this time, if it were his wife Hong Fang instead of Qiu Xiangya, Xiong Jiandong would inevitably not remember the difficult journey he had gone through in the past few months, including how Hua Nianping removed Lin Sirer from the third grade of the United States.
He took him back to the capital, why she was seriously ill and died, and even how he himself was reborn, and all the bizarre experiences he had experienced.
After all, Tao Hailiang and Hong Fang are a couple who have witnessed all the emotional misfortunes of Hua Nianping and Lin Sirer, and they have a close relationship with each other.
As for Tao Hailiang and Qiu Xiangya, they were unable to recognize Xiong Jiandong at this time.
First, I had never had any contact with him before. I had only heard of a former deputy police chief named Xiong Jiandong who died in the line of duty while defending the Wanshui Gate dam. Second, since Xiong Jiandong and Miao Xin both called themselves Taoists just now,
It will not arouse further interest in these two Taoists.
Xiong Jiandong sighed deeply in his heart, seeing that this time he went to Huaishang with Miao Xin, Hua Nianping in the past has become a different person now, things have changed, people are in different situations, and the world is full of twists and turns.
He also thought that even now as Xiong Jiandong, because he dressed up as Ishikawa Yu a few days ago, half of the eyebrows on his face were shaved off, making them sparse and patchy, and his hair had not yet recovered, and the teeth he had used before had been removed
Tuo stuffed it into his mouth again, and he was wearing a sheepskin vest. With his nondescript appearance and clothes, people would not be able to easily recognize him under normal circumstances.
After more than an hour's flight, we quickly arrived at Huaishang Airport, which Xiong Jiandong is familiar with.
He saw Tao Hailiang and Qiu Xiangya murmuring for a while, meaning that they both had cars to pick them up and they couldn't show up at the airport exit at the same time.
"Those who have affairs behind their backs will never see the light of day."
Xiong Jiandong felt unjust about Hong Fang.
He waited for Miao Xin to retrieve the two mandarin duck swords, and the two took a taxi and went straight to the main altar of Shanngling Shenzong in Mazhai Township, Linhuai County.
When the driver saw Miao Xin holding a whisk in her hand, which was the authentic dress of a female Taoist priest, and her appearance was dignified and gentle, he was in awe.
He said, I heard that in the past few days, Shanngling Shenzong will hold a grand ceremony. All kinds of out-of-town believers who are invited to come are often seen, but people like Miaoxin are so genuine.
Taoist priests are rare to meet.
The driver's words made Xiong Jiandong immediately think of Tao Hailiang's unintentional revelation on the plane that General Huichang would hold a celebration for his seventh year on the throne the day after tomorrow.
…
The main altar of Shanngling Shenzong is located at the west end of Mazhaixiang Street.
This was the former site of a very famous local school known as the "Long Brothers Youth Martial Arts School", covering an area of more than 20 acres and containing dozens of large and small school buildings.
Because the two founders, the Long brothers, had both believed in Shanngling Shenzong in the past few years, the school was in an increasingly difficult situation and had no intention of running it.
Huichang Yuan took this place as his own only half a year ago. After some civil engineering renovations, he moved what he called the holy place of the main altar from the foot of Qiyun Mountain to here. He also opened a special hotel with more than a dozen guest rooms nearby.
Hotels are provided to facilitate the food and accommodation arrangements for believers traveling to and from the church.
The two original owners of the school, the Long brothers, Hui Changyuan did not treat them badly and promoted them both to Dharma Protectors.
From a distance, you can see a tall flagpole erected in the yard, with a yellow flag with four golden characters of "Shangling Shenzong" hanging on the end, dancing majestically in the wind.
The red-painted door is very spacious, with majestic stone lions on both sides. There are two Dharma Protectors with their subordinates, standing on the left and right of the door, as if on duty.
"The Sect of the Shangqing Dynasty is connected to the four frontiers. God calls our people to educate and transform all living beings!"
Xiong Jiandong stepped forward and sang.
"Hold on!" asked a King Kong, "Where did the two Taoist priests come from?"
"Come from Jiuwei Mountain in Hebei Province." Xiong Jiandong replied, "I made a special trip to see Master Hui. Rong Bing said hello!"
"The sect master is not easily seen by anyone who wants to see him." Protector Vajra said, "Besides, he is currently receiving an important visitor, so how can he disturb him at will."
"He is so impressive!" Miao Xin said angrily to the Dharma Protector Vajra, "Just go in and report, saying that Kun Dao is Xingzhi's young master's aunt, and order him to come and greet him as soon as possible!"
When Xiong Jiandong saw this Dharma Protector, he stared at Miao Xin and looked at her. Although he was shocked by her momentum, he still hesitated. He took out the jade-gold cigarette holder Huichang Yuan gave him from his arms and handed it to him.
past.
He asked: "May I ask what your surname is, what is your name?"
King Kong replied: "My name is Long Qing, and I rank third among the Dharma Protectors under Sect Leader Hui."
"It turns out to be the Three Vajras." Xiong Jiandong said with a smile, "It's not difficult for me, brother Long. As long as I have this jade-gold cigarette holder as a proof, after showing it to Sect Master Hui, I will know who the two of us are."
Long Qing turned away for a moment when he saw Huichang Yuan. He was so panic-stricken that he brought many Vajras around him to greet him.
Hui Changyuan shouted to Miao Xin, "Sister, please forgive me", knelt down and bowed his head.
Including Long Qing, all the Vajras saw that the sect leader was in such a state, and they also knelt at Miao Xin's feet, a huge crowd.
Miao Xin waved the fly whisk fiercely on Hui Changyuan's head, and said angrily: "Thanks to the kind persuasion of Donor Xiong, I traveled thousands of miles to come to the main altar to celebrate your seventh anniversary as the leader of the clan.
Daohe, I don’t want your men to block Kun Dao from the door."
Hui Changyuan said with a frightened look on his face: "If you know anything about Xingzhi, it will alarm the young master, so I have not arranged for my subordinates. I hope you can forgive me!"
Xiong Jiandong was secretly happy.
He thought about Miao Xin's unexpected attack on Huichang Yuan today. He thought that in the next few days, she would be on top, take the initiative, and force Huichang Yuan to submit step by step.
"Master Hui, all Vajras, please rise!"
Xiong Jiandong first helped Huichang Yuan, and then helped Long Qing and other ordinary people.
Huichang Yuan did not bother to brush off the dust between his knees, and said respectfully to Miao Xin: "Welcome, little sister-in-law and Mr. Xiong, to go to the main altar meeting hall to drink tea and take a rest!"
Miao Xin let out a "hum", and then she and Xiong Jiandong were surrounded by Huichang Yuan and other Dharma Protector Vajras, who were cheering from behind.
Entering the meeting hall, Xiong Jiandong saw a young man with a crew cut and a sinewy face sitting inside. He immediately recognized him as Qiu Biao, who had been brought to justice, sentenced and then released a year ago.
.
Probably, Qiu Biao is Huichang Yuan's so-called important visitor today.
Miaoxin took off her mandarin duck sword and was invited to sit down by Huichang.
Huichang Yuan first introduced Miao Xin and Xiong Jiandong who came from afar, and then said that Qiu Biao was the general manager of Qidu Real Estate Company, and also served as the vice president of the city's chamber of commerce and a member of the CPPCC.
Unexpectedly, Qiu Biao regained the various titles he had won when he was the owner of "Hailong Palace Nightclub".
Xiong Jiandong thought that this must be the method used by his half-sister Qiu Xiangya through Tao Hailiang.
Qiu Biao looked at Xiong Jiandongzhou's body for a long time, and finally couldn't help the doubts in his heart and asked: "Is Mr. Xiong really from the capital?"
When he spoke, his mouth was extremely ugly, with burnt yellow teeth and dark fangs.
Xiong Jiandong smiled slightly and asked, "What does Mr. Qiu mean by this? Could it be that we have met somewhere before. This is the first time Xiong has come to Huaishang."
Qiu Biao said: "Seeing Mr. Xiong reminds me of a person. His surname is also Xiong. You are very close to him in stature and behavior. Although the face shape is very different, we can only say that there is a slight difference."
.Besides, you are more than ten years younger than him. How can there be two people so similar in the world?"
