Chapter 718: Family Feud
In the autumn of 1981, Su Hanlin, then Chinese New Year's Eve, learned that his colleague wanted to ask him to borrow a sum of money.
Ten thousand dollars, this is not a small amount, the second child is about to be born Su Hanlin, so he asked this colleague what he wanted to do with the money.
The colleague told him that he had a child and needed the money to buy milk powder.
Su Hanlin was very strange, although his colleague was very expressive, he was extremely self-disciplined in his personal feelings, except for his unattainable goddess, he had never heard of him having any other woman.
So Su Hanlin asked a few more questions, wondering how the colleague came here.
As a result, the colleague was not happy, saying that if he didn't want to borrow it, he would pull it down, and he went to find another way.
Su Hanlin didn't say anything at the time, but after returning home, he still discussed with his lover whether to take out most of the family's savings and lend them to this colleague.
Su Hanlin's lover, Tan Taixuan, was a psychiatrist who was seven months pregnant at the time, and he was also very curious when he heard that Su Hanlin's colleague had a child.
Because she knew her husband's colleague, who was her former patient, the marriage between the two was brokered by this colleague.
They are all overseas Chinese, and they are this friendship, so of course they have to help.
So Taixuan suggested that it would be better to lend $10,000 to this colleague first, and then ask the reason for the child's origin.
Su Hanlin agreed with his lover's idea, and it happened that it was a weekend, and the laboratory was off.
So Su Hanlin drove his lover and eldest daughter Su Dongdong in the car, planning to go to the supermarket to sell some maternal and baby products first, then go out for dinner, and finally go to the bank to withdraw the money, and wait until Monday when he went to work, and then give the money to that colleague.
Su Hanlin is a dedicated scientific researcher who is very dedicated to his work, and rarely has such leisure time.
So although the itinerary for this day was very ordinary, the family was very happy.
The eldest daughter, Su Dongdong, is three years old, and she has actually just turned two years old, which is earlier than ordinary children.
She lay on her mother's stomach all the way, listening to her sister's movements.
She can hear when her sister rolls over, when she spits bubbles, when she wakes up, when she sleeps, and then reports it to her parents in a milky voice.
In the evening, Su Hanlin came out of the bank and returned to the car, wrapped $10,000 in an envelope, and then put it in a briefcase.
In the car, both his lover and his children were waiting for him.
When the car started, the family was still laughing.
But twenty minutes later, when Su Hanlin's colleague, Miao Guangqi, rushed all the way to the scene of the car accident, the two adults had already died.
One of the two children was gone, and the other was in the womb.
Miao Guangqi, as a Miao family hunter, has a very clear mind at this time.
The grief in his heart was tried his best to restrain him, and he realized that he had to save the child in Taixuan's womb first.
At that time, the car accident caused a big traffic jam, and the ambulance could not enter, and Miao Guangqi could not exert too much ability in front of everyone.
So he could only pretend to be an obstetrician and gynecologist and give this unfortunate woman a caesarean section on the spot.
What to do without a scalpel, Miao Guangqi rummaged through Su Hanlin's briefcase for a while, and while finding a pencil sharpener, he also saw the envelope containing money.
It was the first time, and Miao Guangqi found that his hand holding the knife would actually tremble.
......
Early Spring, Eastern Europe, 2006.
The nominal leader of the Patriarchal denomination, Patriarch St. Cyril of the Patriarchate of Constantinople, was in a dilemma in the southern part of the Great Plain of Eastern Europe.
As a religious leader, he is somewhat unworthy of the name, because the Patriarchate is actually divided into several patriarchates, which are actually independent of each other and do not govern each other.
The titular supreme leader was the Patriarch of the Patriarchate of Constantinople, the same St. Cyril.
But Constantinople itself no longer exists, and with the fall of the Holy City in 1453, the capital of the Byzantine Empire, now known as Istanbul, is the capital of Turkey.
In Turkey itself, the majority of the population is an Ilo-Christian.
Therefore, he, the patriarch of the proprietor, is inevitably a little weak.
This is also a big problem for the Patriarchate today, the Patriarch of Constantinople is an honorary religious leader, but his strength is not the strongest among the Patriarchs.
The strongest Russian patriarch, who fully supports the Russian government, and the idea of re-entering the WTO like the Holy See in Europe, cannot be in the same pot at all.
Moreover, a few years ago, at the behest of St. Cyril, the missionaries of the Patriarchate of Constantinople went to Ukraine and Belarus to establish churches and preach in other places, which directly led to the break between the Patriarchate of Russia and other patriarchates.
So the current Patriarchate is actually divided into two parts, one is the Greek Church led by the Patriarch of Constantinople, and the other is the Slavic Church led by the Russian Patriarch.
A while ago, the Queen Mother of the West made too much trouble, and the Russian Patriarch pinched his nose and joined forces with the European Holy See, got on the line with Huaxia, and entrusted the hunt to the Hunter Gate.
The Queen Mother of the West is currently endangering the whole of Europe, and in such a situation, the Russian Patriarch will naturally help.
But afterwards, he wanted to unload the mill and kill the donkey, and kill Lin Shuo, the head of the hunting sect, and the European Holy See did not discuss this matter with the Russian patriarch at all, nor did it plan to tell him the news.
However, the fact that the European Holy See does not say it does not mean that the Russian Patriarch does not know, after all, the territory of Eastern Europe is an acre and a third of an acre of land in the Slavic Church, and the European Holy See is scattered, and the secrecy mechanism is full of holes, and nothing can be hidden.
Therefore, the Russian Patriarch had already sent the news to the top level of Huaxia, so that Huaxia could pay attention to it.
As a result, St. Cyril, the Patriarch of Constantinople, has been wanting to die in recent days.
The entry of the Holy See into the WTO and the killing of Lin Shuo, the head of the hunting sect, were originally initiated by St. Cyril, and he was a staunch advocate.
Among the three major denominations today, St. Cyrill's life is the saddest.
The Tianzheng Pope has a small feudal state, and his life is beautiful.
Although the Patriarch of the Crescent Moon has not closed the country, and the sect itself is full of factions, his Anglican Church is the Anglican Church, which has the minimum guarantee.
And the Episcopal Greek Church, that is the worst, not even the strongest within the Episcopal sect.
St. Cyril's basic plate is Greece, and in such a big place, he doesn't have much political power.
It is also based on personal cultivation to be strong, and the cultivators under his command have descendants of armored knights, and the overall strength is strong, which can be known as one of the four giants of the Holy See.
The poor and treacherous have a rich conscience, and the more difficult the life, the worse the heart's eyes.
Taking advantage of the fact that he still has a bit of status in the Holy See in Europe, the patriarch is pulling the banner as a tiger skin, hoping to get a piece of the pie in the chaos.
At first, the situation went well, although the three major sects had their own evil intentions, they were all dissatisfied with the status quo, so St. Cyril really said that the Tensho Pope and the New Moon Patriarch were moved.
In this operation, the result of the conspiracy and discussion of the three major sects was that the three major sects dispatched elite masters to block the West Queen Mother area from three sides and lay a net of heaven and earth.
When the hunting party comes out of it, no matter which side of the Holy See master encounters, then try to intercept and kill it, and then the masters of the other two sects come to help.
The proprietor faction is responsible for the southeast in this operation, and this direction is the direction of Huaxia, and it is also the return route of the head of the hunting gate, and the chance of encountering it after that is the greatest.
Therefore, St. Cyril did not dare to slack off, and all his family funds were taken out, more than a hundred armored knights, more than forty light priests, and ten spiritual warlocks, all of whom were masters of the Nine Realms.
Among them, these ten spiritual warlocks are the trump cards in his hands, and they are also the unique cultivation paths of the Orthodox Sect.
These astics are the best at using telekinesis to fight.
And because their methods are too shady, they call themselves spiritual warlocks, but they are called dark warlocks by other cultivators.
St. Cyril himself is an extremely skilled spiritual warlock, especially good at pupil arts, and if someone else has a pair of eyes with him, it will be over.
Even if the Tensho Pope talked to him about things, he didn't dare to look him in the eyes.
With its own strong strength, plus all the family background, St. Cyril really wants to fight this battle.
The small team of 200 cultivators sent by the Patriarch was responsible for the blockade of the battle line, which was more than 100 kilometers in front and back.
There is no so-called transportation artery in this kind of place, it is all primeval forest, and people must be dispersed, each responsible for an area, waiting for the head of the hunting gate to throw himself into the net.
As a result, the proprietor and the patriarch dispersed the people, and then the news of these people was gone.
I sent someone out to look for it, but it was still the same, and there was no news.
After more than ten days, there are only half of the people left around St. Cyril.
That evening, when the group found a cave, St. Cyril decided to take the ten psychic sorcerers to a meeting, who were also senior clergy of the church, and all of them belonged to the decision-making level.
The decision-making process of this high-level meeting was not to be known to his subordinates, so St. Cyril asked the rest of his companions to wait outside the cave.
At this moment, in the cave, except for the Patriarch who wore a black gown, the other spiritual sorcerers were wearing the kind of monastic robes with hoods.
It was cold in the cave, and these usually pampered bishops couldn't make a fire, so they put on their hoods so that they could keep out the cold a little.
At this time, everyone has any ideas in mind, and naturally everything is said:
"I guess it's Tianzheng and Xinyue who have joined forces with the Russian Patriarch, and this time, it's specifically calculating us. ”
"Are you sick? What is the situation in our Greek Church that no one else knows, but you still don't know?"
"That is, we can still represent the Patriarchate now, so isn't that why the Holy See wants to push us out and fight against the Russian Patriarchate?"
"It is said that unloading the mill kills the donkey, and now that the mill has not been unloaded, how can they kill our donkey?"
"So what do you think is going on? Is this primeval forest really capable of eating people?"
"It may be the Druid Society, I offended them last time I went to Scotland to preach, and I guess they came to take revenge on us. ”
"Pull it down, you are just a monastic priest, and you are not our patriarch, you have offended people, and people can deal with our entire Greek church?"
"That is, except for the one named Greenham, the Druid Association is not strong. Even if they have the advantage of the environment here, it is impossible to kill all of our people silently. ”
"In my opinion, it should be the Queen Mother of the West. ”
"You're, the Queen Mother of the West is far away from here. ”
"Although that purple stone is far away from here, who rules that the Queen Mother of the West will not come out and walk around, can't it go out and walk around?"
"You're raising the bar. ”
Ten old men were there with different opinions, and St. Cyril's face was pale.
It's really a bunch of rubbish, and no one can count on it at a critical moment.
"Alright guys, I know what's going on. At this time, one of the psychomancers said.
"What's the situation?"
"Have you heard of headhunters?"
"Headhunter, isn't that the indigenous cultivator of Borneo?"
"Your news is too backward, and now this group of headhunters has changed their courts, and they are already hunters. These people are extremely good at killing people in the forest, and they are the only ones who can do such a thing without leaving a trace. ”
"You mean, we have been plotted by headhunters in the last ten days?"
"That's right. ”
"How do you know?"
"The people were brought by me and the patriarch, of course I know. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the "psychomancer" took off the hood from his head.
Li Ding, the current prime minister of the Tiya Republic and the high priest of the Tiya tribe, when he took off this hood, the spiritual sorcerers around him, including the proprietor and the patriarch, just watched without any reaction.
This high-ranking government official in the Pacific island country is surrounded by ten statues.
And Li Ding slowly stood up, walked up to the proprietor and the patriarch, and said as if to himself:
"These old men are not very good at brains, but their spiritual cultivation is really powerful, and I am not their opponent.
It's just that once the mental power is frozen by cause and effect, then the divine mental barrier no longer exists, and I can do whatever I want.
The Su family's enclosure is really amazing.
Master Su, I was originally afraid that you would be outnumbered, so I offered to come over and help.
Now it looks like I'm doing it too much. ”
Mr. Li was polite. ”
Of the nine remaining Psychosorcerers, one of them lifted his hood to reveal a peerless face.
This is Su Hanlin and Taixuan's youngest daughter, Su Nianqiu, who was used by Miao Guang with a trembling pencil knife at that time.
