Chapter 080: The Strange Compass is Different
When Zhong Lin, Luo Xiaoman, and Old Man Zhang returned to the Hongzhou villa area together, Zhong Lingyue had not yet gotten off work.
Originally, Zhong Lin wanted to go back to his residence to prepare dinner for his little aunt, but Old Man Zhang was in a very good mood today, so he had to take Zhong Lin to his house. said that Zhong Lin let him pick up a big leak today and took a big advantage, so he had to prepare some delicious treats to treat him.
However, as soon as the word "reward" was mentioned, Zhong Lin unconsciously remembered that the old lady prepared so many supplements to "reward" him a few nights ago, so that he almost made a mistake after going back, it was really "once bitten by a snake for ten years and afraid of the well rope", this incident simply caused a psychological shadow to Zhong Lin, even if he thought about it now, he would feel very embarrassed......
However, with this kind of good thing, Luo Xiaoman will definitely not miss it. Without waiting for Zhong Lin to call Zhong Lingyue, she talked to Zhong Lingyue on the phone first, and asked her to go directly to Grandpa Zhang's house for dinner when she came back from work.
Old Man Zhang was busy in the kitchen for a while, and Zhong Lin and Luo Xiaoman also helped together. By the time Old Man Zhao, Old Man Chen, Old Lady Chen, Zhong Lingyue and others all arrived, the meal was ready.
Fortunately, what Old Man Zhang prepared today was some delicate stir-fry, which may be related to Old Man Zhang's usual eating habits, but this made Zhong Lin breathe a sigh of relief.
After eating and drinking enough, Zhong Lin divided the few Five Emperor coins he found in the antique market today, one for each person.
"Old man Zhao, old man Chen, you two old immortals, don't you hurry up and thank Zhong Lin, this is the money of the Five Emperors, a good thing! We ran all over the antique market in the afternoon to find a few pieces! Hehe, other people, even if they have money, they can't buy miles, the key is that even if other people buy them, how many of them are real...... Old Man Zhang said excitedly.
Needless to say, these Five Emperor Coins not only have a trace of mana, which can drive away disasters and ward off evil spirits, but Zhong Lin also blessed some of his own source power on it, such a treasure is indeed something that cannot be bought with money, as Old Man Zhang said. Coupled with the talisman that Zhong Lin gave them before, it can be said that under the double protection, not only can they drive away disasters and ward off evil spirits, but it is difficult for even a junior talisman to hurt them. Of course, these Zhong Lin didn't tell them......
Luo Xiaoman, Zhong Lingyue, the old lady and others went back early, leaving only Zhong Lin and Old Man Zhang.
At this time, Zhong Lin took out the compass he had picked up from the antique market in the afternoon and studied it with Mr. Zhang. In fact, two people, one old and one young, looked at each other with four eyes for a long time, and in the end they could only stare at each other with big eyes, and they didn't see the doorway at all! Because there was nothing to study at all, to put it bluntly, that thing looked like a bare bronze mirror with an extra pointer, and it was no different from a lump of iron......
"Zhong Lin, are you sure you didn't bother with this thing?!" Old Man Zhang finally asked uncontrollably.
"I'm sure!Not only does this compass have an ancient aura, but the mana on it is no worse than the mana on the Big Five Emperor Coins I got before!" Zhong Lin said firmly.
"Ling'er, do you know what this is?" Zhong Lin finally turned to Ling'er for help.
"As for the age, the master is not wrong, this thing is older than me!And I have never seen anything like it before, but as you can feel, it must be a good thing, it looks like it should be a compass, as for how to use it, I don't know, it seems that Ling'er is not an omniscient jack-of-all-trade......" Ling'er shrugged her shoulders and said.
Time passed minute by minute, and when Zhong Lin realized the time, it was already more than 12 o'clock in the night!
Although Old Man Zhang can replenish his energy by meditating now, he is still used to lying in bed for a few hours like Zhong Lin, so he went upstairs to sleep first.
Zhong Lin felt that it was too late, and he was afraid that going back would disturb his little aunt and Luo Xiaoman, so he simply didn't go back, and didn't fall asleep on the table in a daze until it was almost dawn......
"Zhong Lin, you must avenge me and kill all those island people......"
"Brother Dao, is that you?"
"Zhong Lin, I don't regret knowing you, I finally did something that my brothers admired, and it was enough for them to talk about it for years......"
A looming body gradually became clear, that's right, it was Brother Dao - Zhang Pengfei.
At this moment, his expression changed from the resentment on his face at the beginning, to kind, and a bright smile appeared on his face......
"Brother Zhong Lin, Da Long and Er Long and my group of little monkey cubs will be handed over to you, and I will be relieved......"
Brother Dao's figure became taller and taller in front of Zhong Lin......
"Brother Dao, don't worry, your brother will be my brother in the future......"
……
In Zhong Lin's dream, Brother Dao's figure is sometimes clear, sometimes blurred, sometimes gritting his teeth and scolding the islanders, and sometimes smiling and talking about some interesting things about the past......
"Boss, Boss......"
Zhong Lin, who was in a daze, suddenly heard someone shouting, and the spirit woke up from his dream, and immediately a tingling sensation hit. It turned out that Zhong Lin's finger was unconsciously pressed on the needle of the compass the moment he woke up, and when Zhong Lin withdrew his finger, a drop of blood had already dripped on the compass. However, when Zhong Lin went to look at the compass again, there was no blood on the compass, and he thought it was an illusion, so he didn't care, just put his finger in his mouth and sucked it twice.
Old Man Zhang had already gotten up, just wanting Zhong Lin to sleep for a while, so he didn't wake him up, but just covered him with a blanket, and was playing Tai Chi in the courtyard at the moment. Hearing someone's hurried shouts, Old Man Zhang also listened.
"Boss, boss, Mayor Luo asked me to come to you!" At this time, the bell-like sound of the iron pillar sounded outside the villa again.
Zhong Lin packed up the compass, said goodbye to Old Man Zhang, walked out of the villa, asked Tie Zhu about the situation, and rushed straight to Luo Xiaoman's house.
When he arrived at Luo Xiaoman's house, Zhong Lin found that Zhong Lingyue and Luo Xiaoman had also come over for breakfast. This is also what the old lady specially explained, Zhong Lingyue only went to work after eating breakfast at Luo's house in the past few days.
Luo Ping let Zhong Lin have breakfast first, and then called him to the study.
Luo Ping asked Zhong Lin to sit down, and then like a loving father, he first asked about Zhong Lin's current situation, and then said back to business: "Zhong Lin, I asked you here today for two things, the first thing is about Director Guo, according to the time you said last time, Director Guo should wake up today, right?"
"Yes, Uncle Luo, you just don't let Tie Zhu call me, I will also go to Uncle Guo's house today, don't worry, if nothing happens, Uncle Guo will definitely wake up today." Zhong Lin said confidently.
"Okay, that's good! I always thought that they attacked Guo Xiaotian, it must be because he found some clues or secrets......" Luo Ping said, silent for a while, then frowned and looked at Zhong Lin, and then said: "Zhong Lin, do you know what we found yesterday after watching the video of Gu Yuelin's scene taken back by the cobra?"
Zhong Lin said in his heart, then how do I know!But he didn't speak, just shook his head.
Luo Ping continued: "Do you remember that island man named 'Yamazaki'? Later, I found someone to confirm that this person has a relationship with the city......
"Ah?!There is such a thing, is it ......" Zhong Lin said in some surprise, but was interrupted by Luo Ping in the middle of speaking.
"Now everything is still inconclusive, and it involves a lot, don't make assertions before there is conclusive evidence, let alone tell outsiders, today you go to see Director Guo's recovery, maybe he knows something......" After all, Luo Ping has been mixed in the officialdom for so many years, and he is still very cautious and meticulous in handling things.
"Moreover, now that there are a lot of things going on in Secretary Li's family, we should be more cautious at this juncture!" Luo Ping sighed and did not say any more.
Zhong Lin thought to himself: "This Mayor Luo, why do you always talk half of your words and leave half of them, is it true that the leader's speech is like this? Forget it, since you don't say it, I won't ask." ”
After Luo Ping gave a few more instructions, Zhong Lin left Luo's house, still driven by Luo Xiaoman to the home of Guo Xiaotian, director of the Southeast City Public Security Bureau in Dongcheng District.
In the past few days, Luo Xiaoman has been busy completing a social research, saying that she is busy, but in fact, she still has a lot of free time, so she will soon become Zhong Lin's full-time driver. However, Luo Xiaoman likes this "job" very much, and he goes there happily every time......
