Prologue The Beginning of the Arrival Chapter 24 The Changing Situation
The young Taoist pinched the dust with one hand and pulled up his robe with the other, so as not to be dirty by the muddy roads on the side of the old park, which looked a little funny and embarrassing.
He was not idle while he was hurrying, and he kept cursing something.
"You can live in this place, you are also very good-natured, if you let Lao Dao stay in this ghost place for a year or two, I'm afraid that without the intervention of the Lu family, I want to rebuild it with one foot. ”
The moon is in the sky, the silent winter night sets off this abandoned old park even more weird, if it is other blocks, even if it is so late at night, there will still be police officers on duty at night, after all, Dongcheng is the old city, mixed with fish and dragons, many ruffian gangs are entrenched here, even if there are few people in the Dongcheng police station, this night patrol is not sloppy.
Especially at this juncture that is about to give Dongcheng a makeover.
But this old park is an exception, even if no one patrols, those ruffians or gangsters are subconsciously avoiding here, and this most eerie place is the best security in Dongcheng in the past two years.
Therefore, Rao is this old park is not far from the police station, and the Dongcheng Police Station is not willing to invest its precious police resources in this vicinity.
The neighborhood factories and the old brick houses in that area have basically been evacuated and vacant, and even homeless people will not want to settle here.
Not only in the past few years, the weirdness of this pawn shop has been traced back to its roots, no one remembers it clearly, people only know that every few years, when people are about to be paralyzed by its fear, this pawn shop will jump out like a nightmare, and there will be some unbelievable and bizarre events, but no one knows what all this is all about.
Therefore, the Dongcheng Police Station simply didn't bother to care about it, but now it doesn't matter, the order has been issued from above, and all major departments are now staring at this old park.
Under the instructions of the superior leaders, the pawn shops and these departments, which used to have well water and river water, gradually began to come into contact with these departments in the past six months.
The most attentive is a certain big man in the Urban Construction Bureau, who took people to this pawn shop every once in a while to shout at five or six, and at first he had the attitude of talking about conditions, but later, he became more and more unscrupulous, and even found a group of ruffians to make trouble.
Originally, this big man was looking for a certain famous head snake in Dongcheng, this old oilman was named Long Er, with a green dragon with teeth and claws tattooed on his arm and shoulder, and his face was also extremely fierce.
is such a ruthless man, when the big man of the Urban Construction Bureau found him and asked him for help, his face was very funny.
At first, he felt that this leader had to ask for his own help, and he really had face, so he agreed, and when he heard that he was going to find trouble with the pawn shop, the man's expression was as ugly as his dead father, and finally he was furious, slapped the table, and deliberately walked to the gate, shouting at the top of his voice.
"I, Ryuji, are good citizens! I have never been involved in anything that violates the law and discipline! I will do such dirty things! I, Ryuuji, will never agree! I hope that the well water will not interfere with the river water! From now on! Ryuji will definitely do business honestly!"
Immediately, he angrily blasted out this sincere leader, and shouted bad luck in his mouth, bad luck!
Helpless, this big dragon please don't move, just ask some small fish and shrimp, find a group of young ruffians who want money and don't want to die, this adult, full of joy, just wait for the owner of the pawn shop to come to the door to reconcile.
Unexpectedly, that night, there was a terrible scream from the adult's home, and he was sent to the First People's Hospital of City C that night, and only stayed in the hospital for one night, and the next day, he was transferred to the Fourth People's Hospital.
And this Fourth People's Hospital, that is, the psychiatric hospital of City C.
No one knew what he had encountered at home that night, but the stupid thing that the adult was frightened had just pressed down the hearts of the other departments.
"You have the ability, you can protect this acre and three points of land, and I don't bother to care about you, but you shouldn't, you shouldn't offend that adult, you don't know, that adult is kind to me, alas, look at you, isn't this a dilemma for me?"
The Taoist walked briskly towards the old mansion with a broken thought in his mouth.
Seeing that the mansion jumped in front of him, suddenly, a cold wind came to his face, the Taoist slowed down, raised his head, frowned, and looked at the person blocking the road in front of him with a displeased face, he suddenly raised his hand and pointed to the corner of the mansion exposed in the bushes behind the girl and scolded.
"Well, you can really do it, now that even my face is gone, let such a yellow-haired girl want to send me away, it seems that my true martial arts temple is like this in your eyes?"
Lingxue looked at the Taoist, her body seemed to be less arrogant than before, but she still refused to back down, she was expressionless, her hands were in her pockets, and she said in an indifferent tone.
"Old man, we're off work, let's go back quickly. ”
"I spoke to you?"
The Taoist squinted at Ling Xue, and just like that, Ling Xue's hair stood on end in an instant, and the aura around her began to pour into her, drowning her like the waves of the sea, and a dull feeling immediately flooded her chest.
“... So angry?"
The girl suddenly separated her feet slightly, took her hands out of her pockets, folded them on her chest, and concentrated all the energy of her body in the palms, and then, she saw a light blue film faintly appear around the girl's body, and this protective shield-like film isolated the girl from the surging breath around her, which gradually stabilized her mind.
Although the Taoist scolded and scolded all the way just now, when facing the girl, he was not willing to drag the mud and water at all, and he was not willing to talk nonsense, as if this girl Lingxue was no different from the ant in his eyes.
Seeing that the girl seemed to be determined to be this roadblock, he didn't mind lifting a foot to crush her to death, but the person behind the girl didn't think he just crushed an ant and let him go, and now, he didn't plan to completely turn his face with this unfathomable freak, as for this girl who didn't know whether to live or die, it should be okay to fight a dozen and have a long memory.
Thinking so, he gently dusted off the dust, and there were words in his mouth.
"There is something wrong with the way of heaven. ”
These four words, every word slammed into the girl's chest like a hammer, and the light blue film had just withstood the first impact, and it had already caused a mouthful of blood to spurt out of the girl in it.
"Come again. ”
The second impact, the shield condensed by the blue aura was immediately shattered, and the girl was pressed by this huge invisible force and fell directly to the ground, but her head was already raised high in unyielding, staring at the young Taoist.
"If Lao Tzu is a few decades younger, it doesn't matter if you are Chang Ziming or Chang Zidark, it's a big deal to fight vigorously, and you have to fight the old immortal who is the heart of the city of C City to come out, and it is possible to stop, now, you girl, pick up a life or get out of the way." ”
As soon as he said that, as soon as he waved his sleeves, Ling Xue's body flew to the side like a rag stained with water, and smashed directly on a thick-waisted old tree.
"Hmm..."Feeling some kind of resistance from his sleeve just now, the young Taoist smiled and nodded.
"It's kind of a bit of an improvement. ”
With that, he ignored the fainting girl who fell to the ground, and strode straight towards the old mansion.

Let's say that Chai Xu lost consciousness in an instant, of course, when he opened his eyes again, he was standing in a place like a street crossroads, and there were people around him.
Everyone walked towards a certain side of the intersection as if they had their own destination, and no one changed the direction of travel, and each intersection seemed to stretch out infinitely, and there was no end in sight.
And he was the only one who stood still, looking around blankly.
The buildings on one side of these intersections are of different forms, including ordinary high-rise buildings, as well as ancient temples and ancient buildings, which look very nondescript.
Chai Xu also found that these pedestrians, who were constantly not knowing where to go, were also dressed in different ways, from suits to long-sleeved horse coats, all kinds of colors, which were very strange and weird.
What's even more terrifying is that although there are so many people around him, he can't feel a trace of popularity, that is, these people don't even breathe normally, let alone talking to each other.
"It's... Here's where... Where am I??"
Chai Xu began to ask the people around him, but whether he was pulling other people's clothes or shaking other people's shoulders, these people would not pay attention to him, even if they didn't want to look at him.
"Let's go this way. ”
Just when he was at a loss, suddenly a voice came from behind him, and when he looked back, he saw that Chang Ziming was holding a cigarette stick in his hand, standing next to a building that looked like an ancient temple at the intersection and looking at him.
Although this Chang Ziming is not very normal, compared to these strange and strange pedestrians, it is much more kind, at least he can say that he is not.
He hurriedly squeezed through the crowd and ran to Chang Ziming's side.
"It's... Where the hell is this!?"
"Don't you want to know if those things are weird? don't you want to know everything?"
Chang Ziming waved his hand at him, signaling him to follow, and then turned around and walked into the ancient temple, although Chai Xu had doubts in his heart, but he had already followed, after entering the ancient temple, Chai Xu found that this building was much bigger than what he saw from the outside, it was not like a small temple, but a huge palace.
Incense lingers in this ancient temple, and there is a huge and solemn painted clay statue in the main hall, Chang Ziming walked to the statue and said to Chai Xu.
"Impressions?"
Chai Xu also came to the statue, looked at it carefully, and suddenly remembered something, thanks to his keen observation as a policeman, so he blurted out, pointing to this statue and said.
“... There's this statue in your store! It's on your shelf!"
Chang Ziming took a few puffs of cigarettes, slowly exhaled a puff of smoke, and nodded.
"Well, the observation is not bad, and I don't bother to start at the beginning, but what you are in now is the inner world of the painted clay sculpture on the container in my store. ”
As soon as these words came out, Chai Xu felt that he was about to be forced to accept something he didn't understand at all, and a layer of haze suddenly rose in his heart. How many new things do you have to accept, this is originally a staunch materialist, socialist five good young man, in this whole day, almost feel that his faith is about to collapse.
So he blurted out.
“... You won't... What kind of scam syndicate, can you set me up here...?"
