In the first-class cabin of the direct flight from Shanghai to the United States, Jessica snuggled into Li's arms, played with his long black hair, and said: "China is so good, Shimen is so beautiful there, and they are so good to us, I really don't want to go back to the United States." ”

"Hehe," Lee said with a smile as he stroked Jessica's blonde hair, "and we can come back every year for the holidays as long as you like." If you don't go home, how many people are waiting for us in Chicago, we can't be irresponsible. Moreover, with the backing of my teachers, I have more confidence in expanding the United States. By the way, what good treasures did they secretly give you when they left? ”

Jessica spit out her lilac tongue and began to count them on her fingers: "I gave Hobbes a pair of pestles, Tina a pair of water splitting thorns, John a pair of sun and moon wheels, Dana a heart goggles, Locke a heavenly demon shield, and even Liana got a pair of heart daggers." Everyone has all kinds of talismans, talismans, jade pendants, etc., so it's not counted. ”

Li Han Yan was stunned for a moment, the master is worthy of a thousand-year-old inheritance, and the magic weapons in the door are piled up in a cave, if it weren't for the fear that they would be greedy and chew too much, it is estimated that each person will not be allowed to send three or five pieces.

After thinking about it again, Li smiled and nodded Jessica's head, "Why didn't you say what you got, Uncle Shi knows that you are my Taoist companion, so I must have stuffed you with a baby." ”

Jessica pouted, "It's not much, a jade bottle, a golden silk robe, a peachwood sword, it's gone." ”

Li Khan has come down, Uncle Shi, you are too biased.

"By the way, Xiao Hei, why haven't I seen it all this time." Jessica suddenly remembered.

Lee rolled his eyes, pulled open his shirt, and Xiao Hei was coiled into a leather necklace and hung around his neck. Jessica poked it curiously, but didn't react at all.

Li said helplessly: "This little thing is like a fish in water when it comes to the master's door, if it's okay, I will go to the Danfang to find medicine to eat, and the brothers and sisters are too indulgent to it, except for some rare pills that have been collected, and the rest are allowed to eat, but if you eat too much, it will be this virtue, let the master take a look, and say that it is okay, it should be dormant and developing, just let me carry it close to me, and let the aura on Chixiao nourish it." ”

"What did Uncle Shi give you?"

"Hehe, I didn't give anything."

"I don't believe it, say it quickly, or I'll tickle you."

Li pressed Jessica's funny hand and scratched her nose, "Really, Uncle Shi said, the Imperial Spirit Ring and the Chixiao Sword are already among the best treasures in the sect, what I need now is not more magic weapons, but to integrate and use them flexibly, so Uncle Shi didn't give me anything, just gave me some pills to heal my dark injuries, and corrected the mistakes in my previous cultivation one by one." In this short half a month, I have benefited a lot, my Taoist magic pays attention to conforming to the way of heaven, the moon is full, and the water is overflowing. Being too greedy will allow the Dao Heart to be invaded by demons and affect the entry into the realm. ”

After that, Li looked at Jessica and said, "So Uncle Shi gave you three magic weapons, which is the immediate love for you and the urging of you, don't wait until John has finished the baby sacrifice and you haven't been able to practice one." ”

A head stretched out from behind the seat and looked at Li resentfully, "Senior brother, can you two flirt and scold me by the way?"

Cheerful laughter came from the cabin.

At Chicago O'Hare International Airport, as soon as John got out of the terminal, he shouted to the sky, "The country of freedom, and the smell of sin, I love you to death, oh~"

Li They didn't care about this boy who was suppressed in China, John, who was out of character by nature, was much more honest after being taught by everyone in the peer competition, and he didn't dare to talk nonsense until he got on the plane.

The group came to the convoy on the side of the road and hugged Finley and Fauber tightly with them.

Fu Bo asked Li with a smile, "Have you returned to the mountain gate?" How's it going? ”

Li let go of his hand and nodded, "I went back, I saw Uncle Shi and my brothers, they are good to us, next time, Uncle Fu, go back with me." Uncle Shi, they have already listed your name in the door wall, and when they left, they kept asking me to take you back next time. ”

"Okay, okay." Fauber wiped his tears and said with a smile, "I must go back, after so many years, I have long wanted to go back and see." Let's go, go home first, and slowly tell Fauber about your experience. ”

Back in black and white, Elder Scott and a group of new men surprise them again, and Liana threw herself into his arms with a scream. Locke also hugged his special operators, and the entire brotherhood immediately filled with joy that he hadn't seen in a long time.

In the evening, the happy Lee simply closed the bar for the night, and called all the members of the Brotherhood in Chicago except for those on duty, and spent a crazy and difficult night.

Early the next morning, as soon as Li sat in his office, a subordinate said that David was coming. Lee wondered as he asked his subordinate to bring David up.

Hugging David and looking at his anxious face, Li hurriedly asked, "What's the matter, what's so urgent?" ”

"Something big is wrong." David took a sip of water and said with a sad face, "We lost four agents in one place, but no news came out, and now the agents are forbidden to approach there, I hope you can help us." ”

"Okay, you tell me the specific incident first, and I'll find a way to help you." Li knew that it was not appropriate to bargain too much at this critical moment, and first figure things out before saying whether to go or not.

Founded in 1927, the Cecil Hotel is a high-rise hotel in Los Angeles, California, and was once a landmark in Los Angeles. Originally, it was mainly for business people, and the big business and celebrities gathered here. After a brief period of glory, the Cecil Hotel has become a tourist attraction of "murder houses and the depravity of downtown Los Angeles", where many bizarre murders have occurred, the most famous is the "Black Dahlia" victim actress Elizabeth? Short, whose body was found on the side of the road in 1947, is still a case that has been solved by people familiar with the matter who said that the last place where she was last seen was also the Cecil Hotel.

In the 80s of the last century, the famous serial murderer "Midnight Demon" Richard? Ramirez and the Austrian killer "Vienna Strangler" Jack of the 90s? Entwig stayed at the hotel and killed people while staying.

There have been many murders and suicides here, the most famous of which is the case of Lan Kerr in 2013, who disappeared in the hotel after January 31, 2013, and her body was found in a water tank on the top floor of the Cecil Hotel three weeks later.

"Lan Keer? Chinese? Lee interrupted David.

"Yes, Chinese, Canadian." David glanced at Li and said hesitantly, "Later, the police really couldn't find evidence, and the definition was suicide." ”

Li raised an eyebrow and motioned for him to continue.

"The most recent case is some time ago, the FBI sent two undercover agents there to investigate, only to disappear two days later, one of whom jumped to his death from the top floor of the hotel a week later, while the other is still not heard from."

"The bureau was very angry and told us to take over the case. Just in case, we sent two experienced veteran agents. David sighed and continued, "It turned out that there was no news. ”

Jingle bell, David's phone rang, he apologized to Lee, answered the phone, and it didn't take long for him to shout in shock: "What?!" ”

The hand holding the phone fell weakly beside him, David looked at the puzzled Li with a sad face, and said softly: "One of our agents who just found us fell to his death in the Cecil Hotel. Sam. Nope." With that, he collapsed on the couch and covered his face with his hands.

Looking at the tears that were sliding from his fingers, Lee handed him a box of tissues.

David looked at the tissue box, then at Li, and said sadly: "Mr. Li, I beg you, can you help us, Sam and I entered the investigation team together, he shouldn't be so unclear." ”

Li recalled what Uncle Shi said, "It can refine Dao Qi, relieve a qiē, eliminate ghost qi, and make all surnames subdued." This can be called a Taoist master. At that time, Zhang Zu was also taught by Lao Jun to teach scriptures and magic weapons, worship as the Heavenly Master, and instructed the Heavenly Master to widely practice the way of Zhengyi Alliance, sweep away demons, and save the people. So in July of the second year of Han'an, the Heavenly Master climbed Qingcheng Mountain, met eight ghosts, fought all the ghosts, subdued the demons of the outer way, and punished the evil hypocrisy. The Heavenly Master Dao is through the Xuan, the demons can not be defeated, each surrenders, willing to take refuge in the right way, so the Heavenly Master ordered the five directions, eight departments and six heavenly ghosts and gods, in Qingcheng Mountain under the Yellow Emperor altar swearing, people are in the yang, ghosts are in the netherworld, so that the six heavenly ghost kings are imprisoned in the capital of the North Yin, and the eight ghosts are exiled to the border of the Western Regions. Since then, the demons have been subdued, the people have been happy, and God has sent a messenger to hold the jade book and enshrine the Heavenly Master as a true person, and the Heavenly Master will live for one hundred and twenty-three years, and the day will rise. "It seems that the path of eliminating demons and defending the Tao can not only benefit sentient beings, but also an indispensable part of the practice of Taoism.

"Okay, David, you stay with me first, and I'll go with you for the next two days, and I want to see what demons and monsters are in this famous haunted house." Lee smiled and agreed.
