“I want to take a picture with him!”
The embassy, a solemn occasion, was turned into a star-chasing scene by the enthusiastic people. Ye Ming could not hold it in any longer, and stepped forward a few steps, stood in front of the steps and said loudly: "Everyone.
The Shanmen Office is..."
"Leaf Group!"
"Team Ye, let's take a group photo!"
Ye Ming, who barely managed to hold on, retreated and pushed Zhao Qi forward: "You go ahead."
Zhao Qi's scalp was tingling, but with everyone's eyes on him, he couldn't retreat: "Well, the Shanmen Office only handles fraud cases that use the Shanmen name. It is not responsible for other matters, such as taking photos..."
He glanced at Daoist Liu quietly and said, "Let's talk after get off work."
"When do we get off work?" the crowd immediately asked the key question.
Just as Zhao Qi was about to answer, Fellow Daoist Liu interrupted, "Brother Zhao, what does the second half mean?"
"It means to leave the government office." Ye Ming explained.
Fellow Daoist Liu nodded and said to the crowd, "Everyone, fraud is a serious matter and can happen at any time. I know the severity of the matter and understand your concerns, so the working hours are set to twelve hours."
The crowd was stunned.
I can take photos with people after get off work, but the working hours are 24 hours. Are you kidding me?
Everyone cast their questioning gazes at Zhao Qi. He shrank his neck and thought to himself, I didn't know that Daoist Liu planned to work all day. With Daoist Liu's physique, it seems easy for him not to rest.
At least when he was at the mountain gate, he never saw anyone sleeping, and everyone was busy in the middle of the night.
The crowd asked Zhao Qi to give an explanation, but Zhao Qi could not give one, and the two sides were in a stalemate.
Daoist Liu either noticed it but ignored it, or didn't pay any attention at all. He said leisurely, "If you have any grievances, just come here."
After saying that, he turned and walked back into the house. Zhao Qi and Ye Ming couldn't deal with the noisy crowd, so they hurriedly followed him into the house.
The noise was blocked by the closed door. Ye Ming breathed a sigh of relief and asked Fellow Daoist Liu: "Did Senior Brother Zhou go to arrest someone?"
"Brother, you have an important position in the sect and cannot stay outside for long. Naturally, you have to deal with it as soon as possible."
"How is he going to catch him?"
"Hmm?" Fellow Daoist Liu, who was sitting behind his desk, looked at him in confusion, "What do you mean?"
"Uh, what method to use."
"Find the person and bring him back."
Ye Ming thought that his expression was too vague, and added: "What I mean is that countries generally care about the right to enforce the law. If Brother Zhou shows up and arrests people directly, it will definitely lead to resistance from local officials.
Although they can't hurt Senior Brother Zhou, they will definitely send soldiers to stop them. Senior Brother Zhou doesn't want to hurt anyone, so he has to be restrained."
Fellow Daoist Liu showed a little confusion on his face, but after a moment he suddenly understood and said with a smile, "That's right, the mountain sect hasn't had a large-scale trip here for a long time, and the people here have rarely come into contact with us, so they must lack understanding."
The two didn't quite understand and blinked, waiting for him to explain.
Fellow Daoist Liu did not keep the secret: "The mountain gate has been fighting against disasters for more than ten thousand years. In your words, the mountain gate has been in a state of war for ten thousand years.
Gentlemen, if your country is like this, how would it behave? "
"That would certainly make way for war."
"Yes, the mountain gate is also like this." Fellow Daoist Liu's smile slowly faded, and he told the past events expressionlessly, "There was once a person who held an important position in the mountain gate who attempted to surrender to the disaster, stole secrets, killed 18 of his fellow disciples, and then defected.
The ancestors chased the traitor all the way to a certain city. The traitor was defeated and hid in the city in disguise, waiting for an opportunity to use the teleportation technique to send out the secrets. "
The secret is extremely important and is related to the outcome of our war with the disaster. If the disaster gets it, the thousand-year plan of the mountain gate and fellow Taoists will be destroyed."
Daoist Liu paused for a few seconds. Ye Ming was curious about what happened next and asked, "What happened next?"
"After that..." Fellow Daoist Liu's eyes were somewhat gloomy, "Senior has the ability to find the traitor, but it will take a long time to check all the citizens one by one, and the secret will inevitably be leaked by then. After a little consideration, Senior reluctantly used his great magical power to destroy the city."
"What does it mean to destroy a city?" Zhao Qi seemed unable to believe it and asked a seemingly idiotic question.
"The whole city and its people will be destroyed." Fellow Daoist Liu did not wonder why he was acting stupidly, but explained it seriously.
Ye Ming was stunned and remained silent for a long time.
Xuxianren once revealed that the war between the extraordinary world and the disaster had been burning for ten thousand years. He knew that such a protracted war would be extremely tragic.
He had fully imagined the scene at that time, with broken limbs and arms scattered all over the battlefield, bloody heads flying everywhere, and corpses everywhere. However, he never expected that it would be so bloody.
And most importantly, judging from the current atmosphere in the mountain gate, the people in the mountain gate are not cold-blooded and heartless, and they do not regard mortals as ants.
Therefore, we can roughly infer that the elder of the mountain gate also made the decision after much hesitation.
If we don't sacrifice the people of this city, more people will die in the future.
Zhao Qi's breathing stopped for a few seconds before he woke up with a palpitation and gasped for breath.
Unless you experience it yourself or witness it with your own eyes, you will never be able to truly understand the cruelty of war. It cannot be fully described in words.
Ye Ming clenched and unclenched his right hand several times, and asked in a hoarse voice: "Then, did the elder of the mountain gate survive the war?"
Fellow Daoist Liu nodded, hesitated for a moment, and then shook his head.
Zhao Qi was puzzled: "Did he survive?"
"The ancestor was lucky enough to survive the final battle, but the destruction of the city became a mental obsession. The ancestor could not bear the torment and decided to die in battle. He did so on the third day after the disaster was completely defeated."
Looking at the two silent people, Fellow Daoist Liu wanted to ease the atmosphere and laughed easily: "It is precisely because of this past that the people of our mountain sect have good intentions, but if someone tries to use this to deceive them, I am afraid they will fall flat on their face."
"It should be... it will definitely be a big setback."
As Zhao Qi and Ye Ming were talking, they looked out the window together, as if they saw Senior Brother Zhou who was in a country far away on the other side of the ocean.
…………
Above ZD.
Senior Brother Zhou was flying in the clouds, and Luo Xiling was following behind him on his sword.
"Senior brother."
"Call me Junior Brother."
"Okay senior brother."
Senior Brother Zhou's head hurt a bit, he couldn't tell whether the little girl was pretending to be stupid or really stupid, he sighed and said: "What do you want to call you for, Junior Brother?"
"Why do you want to take me with you when arresting people? I can't help."
"Uncle Master ordered."
"Master?"
"That's right." Senior Brother Zhou slowed down and let Luo Xiling walk side by side with him, "Practicing is not only about cultivating the body, but also cultivating the mind.
What is spiritual cultivation?
The mind is the intention."
"I don't understand." Luo Xiling shook her head like a rattle.
Brother Zhou did not scold, but patiently and accommodatingly explained in plain language: "The heart is the mind, and the mind is the will. What is the will?
Will is shaped by experience, and is inherited from our ancestors, all of whom have been at the forefront of our sect for tens of thousands of years."
Luo Xiling's eyes were as big as copper bells: "Uh, although you explained it very clearly, Senior Brother... I still don't quite understand."
Senior Brother Zhou's mouth twitched, and he opened his mouth to speak but stopped. Finally, he said helplessly: "Disciples of the Mountain Gate need to understand their predecessors... Master ordered me to show you what the Mountain Gate is."
"I still..."
"Shut up!"
"Oh."
Senior Brother Zhou's face darkened: "You will know afterward."
Seeing that he seemed a little angry, Luo Xiling didn't dare to speak. The two of them continued on their way and soon arrived at the Baibu Kingdom in the desert.
"Are we there yet?" Senior Brother Zhou stopped in the clouds, and Luo Xiling made a sword gesture and stopped flying the sword.
"That's it, follow me."
After saying that, he fell rapidly to the ground.
…………
White cloth country.
A five-star hotel.
Inside the luxurious presidential suite, a group of fraud gang leaders were holding a so-called round table meeting - a dozen leaders were sitting around a round table.
They obviously do not understand the true meaning of the round table meeting in history. In their superficial understanding, they think that holding a meeting around a round table is a "round table meeting."
The air pressure in the suite was extremely low at this moment. Some people were cutting their nails, while others were looking down in deep thought.
After a long while, one of them knocked on the table and said, "We all agreed to advance and retreat together. Let's make a statement."
"I am against disbanding. Now is the time to make money. If we miss this opportunity, we will never have it again."
"me too.
Are you afraid of death but still want to make a lot of money? Want to be safe? Why not go work in a factory? "
"I'm in favor of disbanding." A woman in her early thirties raised her head.
The male leader opposite her said disdainfully: "It is said that women can't accomplish great things. You are afraid that you will quit."
The woman was not angry, and calmly expressed her opinion: "I think you all know what the extraordinary beings are. I don't think any country on Blue Star can stop them from arresting people."
The leader at the next seat hesitated and said, "I saw that the announcement from the Abnormal Investigation Bureau did not mention that the Supernatural would interfere. Could it be that you are worrying too much?"
"I received a message from MD that a lone worker mysteriously disappeared in his hotel room. No one saw him alive or dead."
The first big boss's eyes narrowed: "Are you sure?"
"determine."
Seeing that the boss's position was leaning towards her, the male leader who had mocked her before stood up with his hands on the table and urged anxiously: "Brother, what does the disappearance of a lone worker mean?
Who knows if he changed his clothes and ran away?"
When the big boss heard this, his original determination to disband the organization began to waver.
