On a low hill not far from the outskirts of the city, a middle-aged man in a cyan robe was quietly meditating when he was awakened by a dull thunderclap. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

He stood up and looked out at the city not far away, just in time to see the light that flickered and went out.

"The earth is full of light, the sky is thunderbolting, is there a strange treasure in the world? Or ......" The Taoist priest stretched out his right hand and calculated it with a clear eye, but the more he calculated, the deeper his brows wrinkled, and after a long time, he slowly retracted his hand into his wide sleeve, sighed, and said calmly: "This ...... This...... It's so complicated. ”

"Cut, master, you can't figure it out, can you?" A girl's clear voice suddenly sounded next to the Taoist priest.

The old Taoist priest's face turned red, turned sideways and lectured to the female apprentice who was walking slowly behind him: "Girl, you are talking nonsense, how can you not be a teacher?" It's you, don't practice hard in the backyard, what are you doing in front? ”

"It's thunder and lightning, I'm so scared." The female apprentice looked at the Taoist priest's expression, and did not break it, but pretended to be pitiful, blinking and looking at the Taoist priest.

"Hmph, I don't know you yet, you have big nerves and you can transmit golden cracking stones, how can you be afraid of a thunderbolt with no shape. Say, what's the matter? "The Taoist priest obviously doesn't eat this set.

"The master is really knowledgeable and wise, and he is like a god." The female apprentice saw that the master closed his eyes, showing a useful expression, and seemed to be enjoying his sycophant slap, so she continued: "Didn't the master just say that there might be a strange treasure in the world? Then you must be going down the mountain, right? Take me, take me. It's been a long time since I've come down to play. ”

"Waiting for me here? Who said I was going down? The Taoist priest opened his eyes, with an expression of hatred that iron is not made of steel, and pointed to the bottom of the mountain: "If you don't concentrate on practicing, you think about the world of flowers all day long, how can I rest assured that you can go down the mountain to break through?" Let me ask you, how many layers of "Yuqingjing Miaolin Sutra" have you cultivated? ”

"The fourth floor."

"What about the Infinite Heavenly Gang Technique?"

"Part IV."

"The 2015 Latest Monster Yearbook?"

"See the third volume."

"Thirty Days of Quick Learning to Draw Talismans?"

"I've finished reading it, but I still can't draw."

"That's it, you're not good at this, what about "Tracing the Origin of Taoist Schools"?"

"Master."

"Huh?"

"You said it was an elective."

“…… When did I say something like this? What about "General History of Ancient and Modern Chinese and Foreign Immortals"? ”

"Oh, master, you ask so much, do you want to go down the mountain?" The female apprentice was asked a little impatiently.

"No, no." The Taoist priest grimaced and shook his head resolutely.

"Really?" The female apprentice asked again.

"I'm not going." The Taoist priest replied simply.

"If I find out that the master is going down the mountain, I will have to ask your old man to do it himself for next week's meal." The female apprentice snorted, turned around hatefully, and drifted back to the backyard.

Why don't you ask again? The Taoist priest looked at the back of his apprentice in the distance, hoping that the ancestor of Sanqing would give him a chance.

Turning around and looking at the flickering neon under the mountain, the Taoist priest resumed his previous one: "That's it, I'll go down the mountain to find out." ”

"Didi...... Di Di", raised his arm, and did not find the alarm clock in the position in his habit, Fang Ke opened his hazy eyes and found himself lying on the floor of the living room.

Rubbing his forehead, remembering the strange scene last night, he woke up in an instant and sat up from the floor at once.

"What about the stones? Stone. Fang Ke felt that the bright light last night must have something to do with that unlucky stone, so he rummaged around.

But there was no stone to be seen, and his eyes fell on the coaster of the coffee table. There is a yellow metal ball, mixed with a slight patina, matte, with fine grains, and a simple geometric pattern carved around it. According to Fang Ke's memory, the coaster was originally the stone.

Could it be that this is the true face of the stone? Fang Ke held the metal ball in his hand, and the frosted metal texture had a warm feeling. I checked it, and it seemed to be heavier than before.

The stone turned into a metal ball, although I don't know the reason, but this should be the only possible explanation, probably what kind of black technology I don't know, Fang Ke thought to himself.

He didn't need to go to a fast food restaurant today, and he felt that in order to avoid a similar situation from happening again, it would be better to follow his father's instructions and make a proper placement.

After breakfast, Fang Ke put the stone, no, metal ball into his satchel and went out.

The old place Daddy said was the basement of an old neighborhood, and the address he mentioned there when he first sent something back, and he had a key with him. It turned out that he had been preparing for the trip a long time ago, although he did not agree with his father's irresponsible approach, but he still admired his old scheming Fang Ke tightly.

"Old fox." Every time he thought of this, Fang Ke couldn't help but sigh.

The neighborhood was on the verge of being demolished, rarely inhabited, littered with falling walls and broken glass lattices, which were the case four years ago, and still standing, with a bit of a sense of letting the wind blow and I didn't move.

From time to time on the road, words such as "bright light", "the same as the day", and "power outage" drifted into Fang Ke's ears, and it seemed that last night's incident had been discussed with relish in the streets and alleys as a talking point. Fang Ke was a thief and shrunk his neck into his clothes, afraid of being discovered. I don't know if it's a psychological effect, he has always had a feeling of being watched by, turning his head and not seeing people, twisting his neck along the way.

As soon as he turned into the community, Fang Ke found that there were really two people behind him, pacing not far away.

"Robbery?" Fang Ke was a little panicked, he decided not to go to the basement and go out directly through another door.

The pace is getting faster and faster, and when I see the gate, I almost use it to run.

"When you go where there are many people, you are saved." Fang Ke was relieved, but saw a group of people walking out from the side and blocking the door, and the person in the middle was wearing a black suit with a triumphant smile.

Fang Ke's heart that he had just put down rose to his throat again, and his steps slowed down, and he buried his head in walking, trying to pretend that he had nothing to do with him.

"Not looking for me, not looking for me......" he exerted his ostrich spirit, and kept muttering in his heart.

It's a pity that it backfired, and the black suit stood in front of Fang Ke: "Little brother, hand over the golden apple." ”

"What?" Fang Ke didn't expect the black suit to suddenly say this.

"Don't pretend, I know it's in your hands." After standing like this for a while, the people behind also caught up and surrounded him in the middle.

"There's a flying saucer!" Fang Ke pointed to the sky, and while everyone was stunned, he quickly got out of the cracks.

"A bunch of fools, chase after it!" The black suit was the first to react, and after a reprimand, he turned his head and chased after him.

Fang Ke thought that it would be okay to run to the downtown area, but when he looked back, the gang blatantly chased after him.

"So bold?" Fang Ke was a little incredulous.

"Catch the thief." The black suit pointed at him and shouted.

Is that okay too? Fang Ke secretly sighed at the other party's shamelessness, and ran again.

"Robbery!" He simply screamed as he ran.

In this way, Fang Ke ran in front, and the black suit led a group of people to chase behind, they shouted "catch the thief", and he replied "robbery", and walked through the entire long street lively, quite a bit of love song duet.

Passers-by looked sideways, and they should watch the play, and the two did not help each other.

An hour later.

"Catch the thief." A dying voice came from the black suit.

"Someone is robbing!" Fang Ke was also exhausted.

"Boss, this kid...... Isn't this kid ...... Practicing long-distance running? Brethren...... The brethren could not run. A man asked in a black suit, gasping for three breaths after saying a word.

"Who knows, damn it, the idea is in the lungs, brothers work hard, that kid is dying." The black suit is still a little loud because of the frequent running.

Fang Ke didn't even know if he could do it, he only felt that he had never been able to run like this, and his current state was very strange, he could run, but he couldn't run fast.

Another hour later.

"Damn, you can still run like this." The black suit was out of breath, but before leaving, the boss gave a death order, and if he couldn't bring things back, he would unload his head to play with his own teddy, and the black suit thought of the puppy that kept shaking his buttocks every spring, and his heart felt a chill. In order to avoid this kind of human tragedy, he could only grit his teeth and persevere.

But the people under his command are different, and there are few who can hold on until now, lying all the way, moaning and rolling non-stop.

After running to a no-man's land again, Fang Ke finally couldn't run anymore, stopped and gasped for breath, and looked back at the black suit, such a persistent robber, he might never see the second one again.

"Put ...... Take the golden apple, hand it over. The black suit pulled a switchblade out of his pocket, opened it with a click, and danced twice.

"I don't have any golden apples!" Fang Ke shook his head.

"Don't ...... Nonsense, the boss said...... You have it, you have it, hand it over, or else...... Stab you to death. "The black suit gasped and threatened, but it was not a deterrent at all.

Feeling that his strength had recovered, Fang Ke raised his feet and was about to run again, but when he heard a plop, the black suit knelt on the ground, and the expression on his face was about to cry.

"Don't run away, aren't you my brother? I beg you. If there's something to discuss, don't just run. ”

"But I don't really have what you want." Fang Ke stopped and spread his hands.

"No, I don't have it, I believe you, but don't you run anymore, okay? I looked dizzy. ”

"Okay." Looking at the black suit with a sincere face, Fang Ke relaxed his guard and asked curiously, "Who are you and why are you ......?"

"Here!" The black suit suddenly shouted loudly.

Fang Ke looked up and saw another group of people walking down from a van next to him, all carrying baseball bats in their hands, and turned around to run again.

The black suit pounced and hugged his legs.

"Hurry up, don't let this kid run, he's a deer." The black suit shouted.

"I've never seen you so shameless, let go, let go!" Fang Ke couldn't struggle, seeing that the gang of people were coming around, he raised the stick with a hideous face, and wanted to beat him hard to relieve his hatred, so he hurriedly squatted down with his head in his hands.

"Stop." Suddenly there was a loud shout in the flat ground.

Not far away, a middle-aged man dressed as a Taoist priest walked away, slowly put away the compass in his hand, walked in a tiger's step, and stood in front of everyone in a few clicks.

"Supreme Heavenly Venerable." The Taoist priest first gave a salute, and then said: "In broad daylight, Lang Lang Qiankun, how can you people do such a dirty thing of bullying more and less? ”

"Hey~~" The black suit stood up, handed Fang Ke into the hands of the person next to him, and glanced at the person up and down, "Where is this idler, still dressed as a Taoist priest, ah?" ”

"Haha......." Everyone around them burst into laughter.

The Taoist priest was not annoyed, but just sighed, said the Supreme Heavenly Venerable again, and turned into a gust of wind.

The laughter stopped abruptly, Fang Ke only felt that his eyes were flowering, his body was like a cloud, and when he came back to his senses, the black suit group was all frozen in place, and he was already held in the arms of the middle-aged man.

Or a bewitching princess hug.

The middle-aged Taoist priest looked at the young man in his arms, his eyes were like water, and he said softly: "With me, don't be afraid." ”

Fang Ke's brain was a little short-circuited, and he didn't know what to say, so he just looked at him in a daze and nodded.

Looking at each other, the temperature in the air is a little higher.

...... snap, the black suit group all fell to the ground one after another, quite rhythmically.

Fang Ke reacted and tried to struggle, but his body was restrained by the strange force and couldn't move. He wanted to speak, but suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of fatigue hit him, only to see the Taoist priest open his mouth to say something, but he didn't hear the content, his eyes were dark, and he fainted.

I must have done sin in my last life, I must have been. When he was in a coma, Fang Ke thought to himself.
