Chapter 45: Changing Lives Against the Heavens
According to the location indicated on the map, they drove to the construction site of the Sanyuan Group, and the sudden arrival of the police car did not panic the locals.
"Is there anything wrong with you?" asked the foreman, walking slowly.
Looking at the other party's dress, he knew that he was not the main person in charge, Chai Xiaoxiao said solemnly: "Who is in charge here?"
The foreman knew that he was not to be provoked when he heard her tone, pointed to the top of the building on the edge of the construction site, and said timidly: "Old Man Qian is personally in charge, and he said that retirement is boring." ”
Ji Fei squinted his eyes and vaguely smelled the cat, it stands to reason that no matter how important the project is, it is impossible to let the old man Qian, one of the heads of the dignified Sanyuan Sect, sit in the battle, there must be something strange in it.
"When did you start this project?" Director Liu also felt that there was a problem, and asked suspiciously.
"It was five months ago, what's wrong?" said the foreman, who spread his fingers, feeling that he was going to be in big trouble.
"Five months... The first disappearance was also five months ago. Chai Xiaoxiao thought about it like this, and felt more and more that the matter was serious.
"I think someone will give us a satisfactory answer. Ji Fei raised his arm and pointed to the building.
With their special status, the three of them went all the way unimpeded, and the building was decorated with great luxury, and they followed the secretary to the top floor.
"A few people wait a while, Mr. Qian is meeting guests. The secretary greeted a few people with a pleasant face.
After waiting for about ten minutes, two foreign businessmen walked out of it, and then the secretary came out and said to the three with a smile: "Several, there is always money to please." ”
After following her inside, a middle-aged man in his forties stood up from behind his desk and reached out to make a gesture of please.
"Three officers, please take a seat. ”
"No need. Chai Xiaoxiao waved her hand to refuse, and said, "We want to meet Old Man Qian, is he here?"
"Oh... It turned out to be to see my uncle. ”
"Wait a minute!" Chai Xiaoxiao interrupted and asked, "Aren't you his son?"
Mr. Qian smiled, put down his glasses and said: "My father and Uncle Qian are brothers, and before he died, he entrusted me to Uncle Qian in his infancy. ”
"I just want to know, where is he now!" Director Liu said anxiously.
"At this time, my uncle will always drink tea in the lowest room and come with me. ”
Mr. Qian personally led the way, led the three of them to a door in the corner of the first floor, told them to wait, and then knocked on the black wooden door.
Knock, knock.
"It's okay, let's all come in. ”
The old man said that they would all go in, which surprised several people outside the door, but after entering, it became clear.
It turned out to be a monitoring room, and there were many monitoring images displayed on the huge screen. And Mr. Qian was drinking tea in a rocking chair.
"Go out, you all stay. ”
Without waiting for everyone to speak, Old Man Qian first pointed at the other three, and then pointed at Ji Fei, taking the lead.
"Old man, we suspect that you have something to do with many recent cases of missing children, please ......" Chai Xiaoxiao's words were not finished when he was slapped by Old Man Qian.
He slapped heavily on the chair and said in a deep voice, "I said get out, don't let me say it a second time!"
Suddenly, an extremely oppressive aura emanated from the other party, causing several people to change their colors greatly.
"True qi catharsis, this is the strength of the grandmaster!" Ji Fei was taken aback, the other party's momentum seemed to be stronger than that of his grandfather.
"Both, let's go out first, otherwise Uncle will be angry, and I won't dare to guarantee your personal safety. Mr. Qian raised his arm and crossed in front of Chai Xiaoxiao and Director Liu.
Ji Fei turned around and whispered to them: "Don't worry, everything has me." ”
At this time, there was a magical power in the ears of the two of them, and they trusted Ji Fei more and more.
"Be careful, this old man is not easy to mess with. Chai Xiaoxiao reminded him a little worriedly, and Director Liu also said to be careful.
After the three of them went out and closed the door, Old Man Qian held the chair in one hand and the table in the other, and stood up trembling with his legs, his body was as thin as a candle in the wind, and he was like the domineering grandmaster just now.
"Surprised, aren't you?" Old Man Qian smiled bitterly.
"Sort of. Ji Fei replied honestly.
A martial arts master struggles to even stand up, I'm afraid no one will believe this when he says it.
"You defeated the underworld, right?" said Old Man Qian, looking at Ji Fei squarely.
Is that old guy called the underworld?
"Yes, why do you want to help him avenge?" Ji Fei secretly clenched his fists, preparing to fight Old Man Qian in advance.
But the other party just shook his head and said silently: "I know that he is a useless thing." ”
Immediately, he raised his head and looked at Ji Fei again, and said calmly: "Mayor Zhang was killed by me, in order to buy time to escape." ”
"What?!" Ji Fei was dumbfounded, and this bland sentence seemed to explode in his ears like thunder.
"Then why didn't you leave?" he asked curiously.
Old Man Qian shook his head bitterly, and said with a sad face: "Where can I escape, even if I can go, my grandson is a lot, what should I do?"
"So, I decided to stay and see how good the people who could get the underworld to escape. ”
"Then you are satisfied now?" Ji Fei shrugged his shoulders and found that the old man was nothing to fear, so he sat back on the table by himself.
"I think..."Old Man Qian hesitated for a moment, as if he was unable to speak, and finally swallowed his saliva, moistened his lips and said: "The old man is brave, I want to ask the immortal chief to save my grandson Duoduo." ”
As he spoke, there was a tendency to kneel, and Ji Fei saw that the situation was not good, and stepped forward to support the old man.
"Don't scare me. Ji Fei said with a shocked face.
"Hehe..." the old man laughed dryly twice, nodded and said, "You are a good person, if you can save my grandson, I am willing to confess my guilt." ”
He asked Ji Fei to help him to the bedside, and then reached out and pressed the hidden mechanism. With two clicks, the floor next to the bed flipped open, and a tunnel appeared downward, and from it came a bone-chilling cold.
Why do rich people like to cultivate secret paths? Ji Fei muttered in his heart, he could already guess the reason for the old man's deterioration.
The cold came from below, and when he went down, he found that it was a large frozen room, with no lights but the pearls of the night shining in it, all of which were embedded in the walls.
Walking slowly forward, he found that the source of the cold was an ice coffin placed on a huge jade slab.
"Who is he?!"
Ji Fei was surprised to find that a little boy was lying quietly in the cold coffin.
"This is my grandson, Duoduo. Old Man Qian looked inside with cloudy eyes, and he coughed twice when his body couldn't stand the cold.
Suddenly, a palm pressed against his back, warming his body. The old man looked back and nodded gratefully, "I'm tired." ”
"Why is your grandson lying in it, it must have something to do with the underworlds, right?" the child in the crystal coffin made him curious.
Old Man Qian sighed and said, "No, my grandson has been here for eighteen years. ”
"How is that possible?!" Ji Fei was shocked again.
"Don't worry, I'll tell you slowly. ”
"Duoduo he is very miserable, is a rare belly of the child, he was born when his father was gone, after the birth of his mother also died, on his third birthday, inexplicably unconscious. I can't find anyone in the world who can cure him, only a blind fortune teller who says that Duoduo is destined to be like this, but I don't believe it!"
Old Man Qian suddenly became emotional, and said angrily: "In that war era, I lost my parents and brothers, and then lost my son, do I still want to watch my grandson go before me?"
He pointed to the jade slab and said, "This jade bed and crystal coffin were exchanged from the Far North after I paid a huge price, and I sealed Duoduo in it, hoping to wait for someone who could save him." ”
"So you believed in the underworld, right?" Ji Fei asked in an indifferent tone.
He didn't believe what the underworld people were doing, the old man didn't know anything, but he felt that it was because of the Sanyuan Gate that the other party could catch so many children so smoothly.
"That's right, you guessed it. The old man lowered his head in shame and said slowly: "The underworld said that as long as he gathers thirty-three pairs of pure hearts for him, he will be able to resurrect a lot, and all I can choose is to believe in him." ”
He glanced back at Ji Fei and said sadly: "I can't watch Duoduo die, even if I am heinous!
"No one is born to die, it's not fair to Duoduo, why can other people's children grow up healthy and happy, and Duoduo... But you won't live to be three years old?"
The old man stared at Ji Fei with wide eyes, and grabbed his clothes with both hands, as if questioning.
Ji Fei took a deep breath, the old man's approach was angry and resentful, but what he said was heartbreaking.
That's right, no one is born to die.
"I have a way to try. He was hesitant to save or not to save after he knew the reason, but in the end, he was deeply inspired by the old man's words.
"Do you really have a way?" Old Man Qian stood in place as if he was stupid.
Ji Fei didn't know how to talk to him, so he walked to the crystal coffin, lifted the lid with a snap, and a large amount of cold air poured out of it.
His eyes widened, and his two pupils quickly turned golden. After glancing, it was found that the other party's life qi was draining at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the three souls and seven spirits were about to break free from the shackles of the crystal coffin and fly out.
"It's a matter of success or failure. Ji Fei held his breath and took out the forgotten pen from the first compartment of the inventory.
This is a life-sustaining pen given to him by the king of Yama, and for the first time, it can add fifty years of yang life.
He held the pen and waited quietly, waiting for the moment when Duoduo died completely. Behind him, Old Man Qian also held his breath, he was more nervous than Ji Fei, he didn't dare to make any sound at this time, just stood in place and didn't move.
Time passed second by second, and the moment before the three souls and seven spirits were about to come out of their bodies, Ji Fei's pupils suddenly constricted.
"It's now!"
After pouring the aura into it, he raised his hand and waved his pen suddenly, and there was a sound of turning books.
The account book in charge of life and death in the world was projected in front of him from the underworld, and he automatically turned to the page of Qian Duoduo without using his hands, and it was clearly written that the number of yang shou was 'zero'.
Ji Fei put pen to paper hard, and it took him the strength to write for fifty years. Then the handwriting was deeply imprinted into the account book, and it could no longer be erased.
Immediately after that, the three souls and seven spirits quickly returned to their positions, and a large amount of life qi flowed from the book of life and death to Qian Duoduo. The scene of this scene was like a miracle, and the old man Qian, who was silently watching everything behind him, couldn't help but burst into tears.
"Hmm..."
Soon after, Duoduo in the crystal coffin snorted, a faint sound that seemed unusually harsh in the quiet ice room.
"Duoduo, are you okay?" Old Man Qian ran over in a panic and lay on the side of the crystal coffin, and he clearly heard Duoduo speak.
"Grandpa..."
Old Man Qian couldn't cry in grief, stretched out his dry palm and put it on Duoduo's still cold face, and he didn't dare to touch it.
"Duoduo, grandpa misses you!" Old Man Qian was crying and laughing beside him, and it was difficult to control his feelings.
"I... Can I ask you one more thing?" he suddenly turned around and grabbed Ji Fei's hand. He pleaded deeply, "I want to entrust you with Toto, and I know that there is no chance of surviving the sins I have committed." ”
"Why?" Ji Fei was puzzled: "Don't you still have a son, although it is not your own, but it is also your family." ”
But Old Man Qian's attitude turned 180 degrees, and he said coldly: "It's because of outsiders, so I can't believe it, and besides, I suspect that my son's death has something to do with him." ”
After speaking, he looked at Ji Fei with a pleading face and said: "But you are different, you are willing to change your life for Duoduo, I see that you will not harm him, I know that you are a good person, I will not let you raise it in vain, I have already written the suicide note and left it to Duoduo's guardian, as long as you are willing to support Duoduo, then my wealth will be yours." ”
If it was Ji Fei in the past, this would be very attractive, but now he is not so interested in money.
"I... Shall I kneel down for you?" Seeing that Ji Fei still didn't agree, Old Man Qian cried urgently, and knelt when he said that he would kneel.
A dignified generation of grandmasters, for the sake of their grandson, they can even lose face.
"I promise. ”
Finally, when Old Man Qian knelt halfway down, Ji Fei supported him and nodded in agreement.
He didn't open his mouth before because he didn't want to get involved in the twists and turns of other people's homes. Later, he relented because he figured it out, this is the 'cause' he planted himself, and he should bear the 'effect' after that.
"Old, grateful..."
Although he did not kneel, the old man Qian hugged his fists in respect.
