Chapter 1023: The Old Way of Harboring Evil Intentions
The three Taoist elders came to Xia City, and they claimed to have also gone to participate in the annual meeting celebration of the Geran Group.
However, when they were there, they were indifferent to the supernatural incident that happened on the north side of the gymnasium, and Xu Ran was a little dissatisfied with this.
Fortunately, the program performed during the celebration at that time was very exciting and interesting, which attracted the attention of the nearby audience, and the security forces on the side of the gymnasium were also handled in a very timely manner.
Otherwise, this matter will inevitably cause great chaos, and the impact on the group will be considerable.
Since they wanted to use the little anchor Li He to run his celebration site to fish, they didn't say hello to the people under him beforehand and took action.
Xu Ran was also a little disgusted by the relevant department's fishing law enforcement methods this time.
Now the representatives of these three Dao Sects came to ask for the Dao Seal, if it weren't for Xu Ran's face on Xian Xicheng's face, he would have already served tea to the guests, how could he have handed over the Dao Seal to the three of them so easily.
Xu Ran talked to them about some topics about the sharks, but never mentioned the matter of the Dao Yin.
Even Miaoren Daoist took the initiative to ask, and Xu Ran only excused himself and said that the seal was not under his hands now, but was kept in the safe of the antique company and was not with him.
When Xu Ran said this, Miaoren and Matsuba Daochang began to feel a little embarrassed.
They knew that Xu Ran was expressing a kind of dissatisfaction with their inaction because of the supernatural incident that happened in the gymnasium.
Daoist Xi Cheng never said a word during the conversation between the two sides, and remained silent.
Xu Ran could feel that Na Miaoren and Daoist Songye had very high hopes for obtaining the Dao Seal, and they were relatively strong, and they had a posture of being determined to win today.
But as for what Xi Chengdao was thinking, Xu Ran didn't peep.
Granny Cui once told him that these descendants of the Yaoxing tribe have some secret methods, and if they are hypnotized by others or peeped into their minds, they will be sensitively perceived.
Now, Xu Ran took advantage of the incident in the stadium to make it clear that he didn't want to hand over the Dao Seal to the Daomen so happily, and now Miaoren and Matsuba Dao Chang felt embarrassed.
If it were ordinary people, where would they have come to the door like this, or they could get it by using both soft and hard methods.
But Xu Ran is not an ordinary person, the business energy and connections behind him are very tough, and he has a very powerful scientific and technological force in his hands, of course they don't dare to be tough.
But now the situation is deadlocked, Xu Ran made trouble with the matter of the stadium and expressed his dissatisfaction, and if they want to get the Dao Seal back smoothly, it will take a lot of effort.
As a result, Myohito and Matsuha felt a little helpless, so they had to look at Nozomi Michicho for help.
Nozomi Cheng Dao didn't speak, and the movements of his nose and heart seemed to be settled, which made Miaoren and Matsuba even more anxious.
Didi!
At this time, in silence, Xu Ran received a short message.
Xu Ran took out his mobile phone and looked at the text message, which was sent by Xu Xi, and it was about the supernatural incident that happened in the gymnasium that there were further clues.
The content of the message was reported anonymously by two group employees, who were about to go to the toilet when they accidentally saw something going by.
It's just that for this kind of supernatural event, these two employees didn't dare to publicize it after seeing it at the time.
After all, the company is a high-tech enterprise, and if it is involved in a supernatural event, this is a slap in the face, so they did not make a noise, nor did they dare to tell anyone, and forced down the tension and anxiety in their hearts until the end of the celebration.
After the celebration, the two employees returned to the hotel, and the two of them had a private conversation, which they thought was too bizarre.
But as an excellent employee of the company, if they don't report this matter, they can't get over that hurdle in their own hearts.
They were going to report to their boss in private, but then they saw the content of the private messages sent to the employees in the group's internal communication group to take clues, hoping that the employees who knew about it could provide clues.
After seeing the news, the two did not hesitate to make a narrative report on some of the things they had witnessed.
After Xu Xi received these clues, he sorted them out, and then sent them to Xu Ran.
Xu Ran carefully looked at the clues provided by the two employees' reports, according to their descriptions, the location of the little anchor Li He at that time was very remote, almost in the last row of the seats, and there were some people standing nearby at that time, who didn't look like celebrity fans or employees of the group who came to participate in the event, they were all social personnel in disguise.
When the strange phenomenon happened, it was the first person in the vicinity to have some kind of abnormality, and it suddenly looked different from ordinary people anyway.
The person who appeared abnormal seemed to be on the body of a ghost, and suddenly when he was shouting through the cheers of the surrounding crowd, he suddenly pounced on Li He, who was not far away.
At that time, several people from relevant departments who were around Li He discovered this anomaly for the first time, and after they helped Li He block the attack in time, someone suddenly used a black cloth bag to put the person with the abnormality into the bag.
However, the anomalous person did not seem to work after being trapped, and something that appeared to be in the form of a black mist appeared nearby.
In the words of the two employees, it was like a ghost, and then it pounced on another person, who appeared in the same situation as if he was possessed and attacked Li Ha again.
At that time, this situation had already hidden the vigilance of the people in the relevant departments, they used the Li River to fish, they must have all the precautions, how could they let the Li River be harmed, so the people they arranged nearby, and they used that kind of black cloth bag again to trap the possessed person in the first time.
It's just that the movement was a little bigger, and several spectators in the front row saw the process of the person being covered with a black cloth, and they thought that there had been a kidnapping incident, but immediately someone next to them showed their documents to warn them, saying that the police were on a secret mission and were arresting suspects.
However, after the witnesses believed each other's words, they were flashed in front of their eyes with something that seemed to erase their memories, and then they froze in their seats, and after about five minutes returned to normal, as if nothing had happened, and continued to watch the celebration.
The two group employees who witnessed these scenes stood at the entrance of the aisle leading to the toilet, and they didn't dare to make any moves, just stood there nervously, pretending not to pay attention to the situation there, but were watching the show intently, but did not attract the attention of the people behind them.
It wasn't until the group quietly left the gymnasium while the show was going on that the two group employees came out of the aisle of the toilet and returned to their seats.
After the two employees reported on these things that happened in the gymnasium for a short time, Xu Ran felt that it didn't have much effect after watching it.
Because he knows better that the fishing incident that happened in the gymnasium was just a local operation deployed by the relevant departments.
In fact, the ghost that appeared in the gymnasium was just a mage that Xu Ran had split, and the soul of the mage had been unsealed and released, ready to make a mess in order to attract attention.
What the relevant departments really want to arrest is the suspect who snatched the golden pot and jumped into the lake and disappeared without a trace, or their accomplices, they want to find out more than Xu Ran why those mermaids robbed the mage and the soul of the teacher, and why they want to kill those who are attracted by the golden pot.
The last one was the security guard of the guard room of Haisha Town Middle School, but that person was alert and had fled to Huangcheng, and the relevant departments naturally could not trace his whereabouts.
And this time, the little anchor Li He fell into their hands, and the relevant departments must make great use of it.
It's just that this relevant department is very annoying, they are very obstructive to Xu Ran, it was originally his own bureau, and it will always be stirred up and cut off by this department, and they don't share a trace of the specific information they get with Xu Ran, so isn't Xu Ran making a wedding dress for others.
Thinking about it this way, Xu Ran suddenly felt that it was better to cooperate with the Huo family, the descendants of the Huo family, in this matter, he could at least get a lot of important clues and information in the hands of these partners, but if he cooperated with the relevant departments, it might be a tiger skin.
Now these three Dao Elders came to him to ask for the Dao seal, so that Xu Ran could figure out that the institutions of the relevant departments were not completely official departments.
This is just a semi-official organization that has received the support of a few bigwigs after the Lei family has seized the power of most of the departments, hangs the brand of the national abnormal incident investigation agency, and has the support of a few bigwigs after the disciples of the Daomen have joined, and it has an extremely close cooperative relationship with the security department.
With such a wisp, Xu Ran felt that the Dao seal could not be handed over to the Daomen people so easily.
At that time, the Xing family personally came to the door to hand over the Dao seal to Xu Ran, and now Xu Ran seems to be not the star family's so-called time according to the instructions of the star machine disk.
It is estimated that they were under pressure from some quarters, and they had no choice but to hand over this potato, which had already begun to soup for them, into Xu Ran's hands, wanting to divert the attention of the Daomen and relevant departments to Xu Ran.
At that time, Xu Ran was still wondering why the Xing family had the opportunity to explore and find the ruins of the Shigan River with Ye Wudao, why they proposed to involve the Huo family and the Dao Sect, it turned out that they were fishing in troubled waters after introducing these forces.
Thinking of this, Xu Ran glanced at Xi Chengdao.
He also guessed a little why Daoist Xicheng remained silent in this matter, because he was a descendant of the Zhending tribe, but he was a dual identity of a Daozhongmen, so he had to avoid suspicion.
Miaoren's temperament is a little impatient.
Now in the silence, several people didn't speak, Xu Ran just looked at the phone and didn't say anything, he felt that they were sitting here It was very embarrassing and unnatural.
"Mr. Xu, how much should you know about the allusions and history of this Dao seal, it is a very important thing for Daomen, what conditions or requirements do you have, please feel free to speak?"
Miao Ren made the matter clear in a hurry, this was to send the initiative to Xu Ran's hands, and the Matsuba Daoist next to him couldn't help frowning slightly when he heard this.
However, Daoist Songye also knew that if they didn't show some sincerity, it would be impossible for them to get the Dao Seal back from Xu Ran's hands.
Glancing at the silent Xicheng, Matsuba spoke: "Mr. Xu, what happened at this celebration is actually not an action that we agree with, it is a bit hasty, it is the fishing plan of the girl of the Lei family who made her own claims."
As far as we know, Mr. Xu is also very interested in the exploration and research of Zhending tribal culture, and we have a good gift in the Daomen, Mr. Xu may be interested, and please Mr. Xu smile, don't care about this matter......"
As he spoke, Matsuba Michicho and Myohito glanced at each other and nodded to each other before Myohito opened his pocket and took out a fist-sized sandalwood box from it.
The box is very old, the outer layer is still a little damaged, and the integrated shape looks like a masterpiece from an ancient master.
Xu Ran just glanced at the box, and there was no expression, he had seen a lot of these objects.
However, the Xicheng Daoist next to him saw this thing, his eyes flashed, and the corners of his eyebrows glanced at Matsuba slightly angrily.
Seeing that Xu Ran didn't have the slightest expression, Matsuba was impatient, so he opened the box and pushed it in front of Xu Ran.
After Xu Ran felt a strange fragrance suddenly coming to his nose, he was immediately vigilant.
However, several Dao Masters looked as usual, and Xu Ran didn't notice their malicious intentions, but relaxed.
I only felt that the strange fragrance was not toxin, and after smelling it, it made people feel refreshed, and felt clear and peaceful, just like the kind of tranquil incense that Granny Cui had ordered.
This strange smell is not the point.
Xu Ran looked at the open box, and saw that the outside was wrapped with a transparent diaphragm like food cling film, and in the center of the box, there was a piece wrapped in clear amber, which looked old and ancient through the amber, just like a tattered thing, very much like a small oil lamp, and a bit like a bronze wine venerable with the characteristics of the Spring and Autumn Period.
Seeing the tattered thing, a piece of information suddenly appeared in Xu Ran's mind, and after careful comparison, he couldn't help but change his face slightly.
The thing in the amber is the flowing lamp, one of the eight holy weapons that symbolizes the inheritance of red fire in the Zhending culture.
After seeing Xu Ran's changed face, the Pine Leaf Daoist knew that Xu Ran was a person who knew the goods, and he had already recognized the origin of that thing, and couldn't help laughing: "Mr. Xu, this kind of East and West Daomen has been preserved for about 600 years, but this thing is not of much use to Daomen now, but his research on Zhending culture is still very valuable, I hope Xu can be satisfied!"
Xu Ran's face sank, this old Songye Daoist is hiding evil intentions.
