Chapter 30 "North China Spiritual Bureau"
Then our group of people had been bumpy on this rugged mountain road for a long time, and finally at about five o'clock in the afternoon, we returned to the hotel where we had stayed before, and when I returned to this modern city, my mentality seemed to have changed slightly, and I don't know what words to use to describe this feeling.
If I have to say it, my heart is no longer as impetuous as before, maybe after this death escape, my heart has become indifferent to these glamorous lives.
To be honest, I have never personally encountered this kind of wonderful adventure that is completely unknown between life and death dancing with death, and I will not understand my mood at this time, after experiencing this thrilling adventure, I know that there is such a mysterious world in this world.
Although this kind of day long with your head pinned to the waistband of your pants, maybe a careless person will kill you, but it is as addictive as the drugs extracted from the poppy.
After returning to the room, I couldn't wait to ask Peng Hui about their organization, Peng Hui was speechless for a long time after listening to my question, and stared at me with a slight smile for half a minute before saying: "Xiao Xuan! Why do you suddenly remember the organization!"
I scratched my head and said, "I'm just curious!"
Peng Hui said: "Hehe, I don't want to hide it from you even if you asked here, if my estimate is correct, the fat man, nine times out of ten, I also have the intention of pulling you into the gang!"
I was stunned and asked with some confusion, what does this mean?
Peng Hui continued: "Although it is the first time for me to meet the fat man, but we are also doing things for the organization, but we have different tasks in different divisions, and the territory under our jurisdiction is relatively far away, so there is no chance of contact, if I guess correctly, the fat man should belong to the Northeast organization, and I work in North China." ”
"Moreover, the internal structure of the organization is quite complicated, and the change of power is very fast, and the reason for this is because this organization is voluntarily formed by cultivators from all over the country, as for the name, it is called the Spiritual Bureau, to put it simply! It exists to solve supernatural events, once a supernatural event occurs in society, a task reward will be issued within the organization, and anyone who completes the tasks assigned by the organization will receive corresponding remuneration from the organization, so that the cultivators will not only contribute to the society, but also get the due reward. ”
After listening to this, I was really surprised, although I just listened to Peng Hui's brief introduction, but I also roughly understood the door inside, the truth is actually very simple to understand, and I have made up my mind to take the road of cultivation, and the cultivation is still unique to our old Lu family, so it is inevitable to kill some powerful Yin Souls, as long as I join the Spiritual Bureau, an institution that specializes in dealing with ghosts and ghosts, then I will be able to cultivate the fighting spirit even faster in the future, and after thinking about this, I simply said that I wanted to join the Spiritual Bureau。
Peng Hui: "Do you want to join in?"
Seeing Peng Hui's surprised expression, I immediately asked, "What's the matter?" Could it be that there is still some problem for me to join the organization?"
Peng Hui: "The problem is not this, don't worry! The old Lu family is a hereditary family in the organization, if you join, there will be no problem, and your family has been the guardian of the Jingnan region for generations, although since your father's accident twenty years ago, the territory of the Lu family has been encroached upon by the other three major families in the capital, but if you join the organization! I think they will still divide some territory more or less!"
I listened to it and was directly enlightened! Fuck, I didn't know that my buddy still had this background! The guardian of the hereditary family, the Jingnan region, I can't believe it anyway.
At this moment, the fat man knocked on the door and came in, and the first thing he said was, what is the meaning of staying in this broken hotel! Let's go buddy take you out for a good meal, there is a way that if you don't die, you will have a blessing, and if you don't celebrate well, I'm sorry for yourself, well, I have no interest in continuing to understand the supernatural bureau by the fat man, so I simply have a fat man to treat you and don't eat for nothing!
The fat man arranged a particularly famous local restaurant this time, and after the dishes came up, we chatted while eating, chatting naturally about what I had experienced in the past few days, anyway, this trip to Qinling, to talk about the most harvest is me, I have experienced a magical adventure that I didn't even dare to do before, and there are more of these friends, it is not an exaggeration to say that I have gained a lot.
After eating and drinking enough, we went back to the hotel, fortunately, a few of us had a good time tonight, the fat man who was eating really proposed that I go to the Northeast to join the invitation, for his kindness I also politely declined, after all, our Lu family ancestors have been in the capital for generations, although since my father originally belonged to our family's territory, was embezzled by the other so-called three major families, but I decided to take this road, must be in the lost things to take back.
Tang Jing didn't say anything, judging from the appearance, I should also be happy for me, the idea of choosing to join the organization, and then we were separated the next day without saying anything, and we Penghui also stepped on the train back to Beijing, in fact, our country has developed quite well in the high-speed railway, so to speak, the country has invested huge financial and material resources in the high-speed rail project.
Our high-speed rail is not only fast and stable, our country is very awesome in this aspect of high-speed rail, absolutely envious of a large number of foreigners, that is, we arrived in the capital at two o'clock in the afternoon, after leaving the station, we took a taxi directly to find Uncle Li, Uncle Li was obviously very happy to see him, and he was relieved a lot after learning that my grandfather had nothing to do, and then he told Uncle Li carefully before and after entering the Qinling Mountains, Uncle Li then let out a long breath, saying that we have gone through a lot of difficulties and dangers this time.
Then I told me that I wanted to join the Psychic Bureau, and Uncle Li was obviously stunned when he heard it, and then asked my grandfather if he knew about it.
Grandfather?
I shook my head and said, "I haven't had time to tell him yet!
Uncle Li sighed and said, "Hey...... I know this organization, your father was working for the supernatural bureau back then, in fact, generally speaking, if you want to join the supernatural bureau, it is not a simple matter, usually you have to go through layers of selection to be eligible to join, but Xiaoxuan, you are different because your surname is Lu, you can eat everywhere with the signboard of the heir of the unloading line in your hand, but there is one thing you have to know that once you enter this industry, it means that you will no longer have a comfortable life, the supernatural bureau is specifically responsible for dealing with those who have grievances in their hearts after death, and maintain the order of the yin and yang worlds, so it's not at all false to say that this is a deal to pin the head to the waistband. ”
Uncle Li's words are very loyal, and I know the meaning of these words, that is, he doesn't want me to join in, but I have already made up my mind, not to mention that after experiencing this process of death and escape, I actually have a great yearning for that kind of power that transcends nature.
And for me, the resources of the Fighting Qi Spiritual Bureau are very important, I can only use their resources to quickly become stronger, and then I can help my grandfather to investigate the cause of my father's death, so the Spiritual Bureau is just a stepping stone to become stronger in my heart, and I told Uncle Li what I thought in my heart.
Uncle Li saw that I had indeed made up my mind, so he didn't say anything, took a deep breath of cigarette and then said, "Okay! Since you have chosen this path, Uncle Li won't say anything, okay, you can rest for a while, then eat something, and then we will go directly to the headquarters of the North China Spiritual Bureau." ”
I looked at Uncle Li with some consternation: "Uncle, are you going too?"
Uncle Li smiled and said, "Uncle hasn't told me, in fact, I used to belong to this organization, but then I quit after your father's accident, and it's been almost twenty years in the blink of an eye." ”
In this way, we chatted with Uncle Li for a while and then found a place to sleep, that is, I was woken up by Uncle Li at two o'clock in the afternoon, and then we drove directly on the highway to Jingbei, our destination this time is, located in the capital of the headquarters of the North China Spiritual Bureau, probably the location is Changping District to the north of more than 100 kilometers of Mangshan, this is a large area of luxury villas built in the mountain, fortunately, the roads in the mountain are all repaired, otherwise I will suffer again, even so we are almost confused.
In this way, the three of us took turns to drive, and finally arrived at the place at about seven o'clock that night, and when we entered the villa area, Uncle Li told me to park the car, and then two big men came out of nowhere and scared me! After getting out of the car, Uncle Li stepped forward to talk and said what we were coming to, and the two big men carefully verified our identities before leading us inside.
I don't know who built this villa area, the small buildings inside are next to each other, and the style is the same, I am dazzled when I look at it, and I not only secretly scold this supernatural bureau in my heart, but also because it is too rich.
At this time, Peng Hui introduced the rules of the organization to me while walking, according to him, the personnel in the organization are very mixed and chaotic, everyone has it, not to mention the Taoist monks, in addition to some capable people, such as the very famous disciples in the north, there are a lot of disciples, and the most difficult ones to provoke belong to those, the Gu women and wizards who ran from Miaojiang, this thing is very evil to take people's lives invisibly, and the wizards and Gu masters are basically passed from Miaojiang.
In other words, the more low-key the activities in the General Bureau, the better, and don't have conflicts with people, otherwise you will provoke people with some special means, and you won't even have a place to cry if you don't know it! And the organization doesn't care about these at all, and is too lazy to care about these trivial matters.
After the two Han men Jiang and Peng Hui settled down, they took Uncle Li away, but judging from the attitude of the two of them talking to Uncle Li, it seems that they have a little respect for Uncle Li, so I have a lot less worry in my heart, and I will ask Peng Hui when I am idle, what is he responsible for in the Spiritual Bureau.
It doesn't matter if he doesn't say anything, I'm taken aback when I hear it! Don't look at his usual inconspicuous appearance, it turns out that his identity is not simple! The person in charge of a province in Hebei Province in North China is a province, right, it's awesome! This is not awesome, and what is even more powerful is that he is still the youngest person in charge of a province in the entire North China region who is very likely to step into the realm of the Heavenly Master.
The reason why Peng Hui was able to shake his field was completely due to his own cultivation, I said before, before entering the Qinling Mountains, Peng Hui's cultivation was stuck at the peak of the sixth stage, only one step away from the advanced seventh-stage Little Heavenly Master, but afterwards he revealed to me, saying that after this trip to Qinling and the bronze armor corpse, his cultivation that had not advanced for many years actually faintly loosened, saying that if he fought like this a few more times, he would successfully enter the realm of the Heavenly Master just around the corner.
I was also very happy from the bottom of my heart when I heard it, after all, there were many people in the Dao Gate who were stuck in this rank, and they couldn't break through until the end of their lives, and it was said that there were only a handful of masters in the entire cultivation world Heavenly Master Realm, and the scarcity was even more serious than that of the giant panda.
We chatted and waited for Uncle Li, and after waiting for two or three hours, Uncle Li came back with a gloomy face, and the first thing he said when he entered the house was to directly scold these people for being too disagreeable, and I guessed from Uncle Li's appearance that this trip would not be as smooth as imagined, and if Uncle Li's character was not particularly angry, he would never be so out of shape.
I asked Uncle Li what happened, Uncle Li was silent for a moment, lit a cigarette, took a hard puff and said: "Hey, at the beginning, things went very smoothly, after all, the Spiritual Bureau also has to estimate the face of the Lu family, so there is nothing embarrassing at all, but when it comes to going back to the Lu family, when the previous territory, at this time, the people of the other three major families stood up and objected, saying that you are young and inexperienced, and you will be in charge of the entire Jingnan case when you come up, and you are afraid that you will make a mistake when you are young, so they can only hand over Jiang Xiaokuai to us at most." ”
Fuck I immediately became angry when I heard it, this group of bastards said it nicely on the surface, what did I say when I was young and misbehaved I went to his uncle, to put it bluntly, these beasts with human faces and beast hearts, don't they occupy our Lu family's territory and refuse to talk about it?
Although I was angry in my heart, I was helpless, after all, I was just a junior who had just started, and I could only endure it before I had absolute power.
I suppressed the anger in my heart: "It's better than nothing, isn't it!
Uncle Li could only sigh again and again, and there was no substantive solution: "It seems that this is the only way, tomorrow I will go to do a handover ceremony with the organization, and sleep here tonight!"
It seems that this is the only way, and the three of us are making do with something in the villa, but fortunately, there is everything in the villa, and everything is available, so we won't be hungry.
In this way, we dealt with each other for one night, and waited until noon the next day when Uncle Li finally came back, and we also drove back on the way Uncle Li told me that from now on I will be the person in charge of Fangshan District, which means that as long as there is a supernatural case in the Fangshan area, the organization will hand over the task to me to deal with, so the most important thing for us at the moment is to find an office location, and then hire a clerk who is responsible for contacting the organization, so that there will be no delay.
Uncle Li is more thoughtful, but it is easier said than done, and there is no money!
My current situation is described by a more fashionable word, that is, I am in the entrepreneurial stage, and I am still self-made, and I want to re-establish a hall without money, but it is not possible, Uncle Li naturally saw my idea and was ready to give me money at the moment, but I clearly refused, because I had not yet reached the point of having nothing.
As soon as my mind moved, I suddenly remembered, I still have a valuable object on my body, that is, the thing that the fat man secretly stuffed into me from the Baiqi tomb, and after I came out, I looked at that thing, and really the fat guy is really interesting, and he actually gave me a pair of white jade toads that he touched!
At that moment, I told Uncle Li about my thoughts, which meant to ask for his opinion.
Uncle Li: "You mean to sell that object?"
Me: "yes! It's a hassle to let go." ”
Uncle Li nodded and said: "That's right, I saw that jade toad, from the perspective of material, it is undoubtedly a high-grade jade, and it is definitely a good object of great value today, according to my experience over the years, it can be sold for millions of dollars." ”
Speaking of this, Uncle Li took out a business card from his bag and handed it to me: "Find Wang Fatzi! This person has a good reputation in the circle and has a solid family background, and only he can eat it if you think about it!"
I suddenly picked up the business card in my hand and looked at it, there was no name on the business card, only a hand number, just a business card, which was too ordinary.
After two glances, I put it away, as for whether this fat man Wang said by Uncle Li has the ability to eat the jade toad in my hand, I will know when I meet.
Just do it Uncle Li didn't say a word to the other party called, and after confirming that he was at home, we drove to his house, this person lives near Pan Jiayuan, Pan Jiayuan this place must not know a few, is located in the third ring of the capital to the east of the place, Pan Jiayuan is also our country, the largest antique art and thrift trading market, the main types of business are, antique furniture, four treasures, ancient books, calligraphy and painting, agate, jade, Chinese and foreign coins, etc., bamboo, wood and bone carving Buddhist tokens, in fact, Pan Jiayuan also has a very famous name"Ghost City"
The reason why it is called a ghost market is because it was the place with the most ghosts back then, and the ghost goods are actually the antiques stolen by Tufuzi digging the ancient tombs, because this kind of antiques are buried in the tomb, and they have been put for a long time in a place where the yin qi is particularly strong, and it will be more or less contaminated with some ghost gas.
And the trading here is from the second half of the night to the dawn as the limit, after the dawn began to close the stall, the people also vividly called it the three more in the middle of the night stall, the real origin of the ghost market, it is necessary to start from the late Qing Dynasty, when our country was still in the Manchu Dynasty Tartar rule, the original turbulent situation of the country will die and even the emperor can not be saved, not to mention the courtiers at that time many Qing court nobles and rich people, the family road is not able to make a living after the decline of the family, can only rely on the sale of the ancestors left by the family property and make a living.
But after all, it was once prominent, where can I put down the shelf and lose face, so I took advantage of the half-bright and half-dark light before dawn, took antiques and secretly went to the street to set up stalls to sell, not only avoided acquaintances but also made a sale, and here is also the imperial city when the bureaucratic family was concentrated, at this time there are many dilapidated dignitaries, the ghost market is open at night, the sky is not bright and there is no electric light at that time, the poor man with black paint ignites the flint, the rich man carries a lantern, faint and swaying like a ghost fire under the simple lighting equipment, the figure shuttles and stops and wanders, and the ghost has no half of the ghost first。
And the time when this ghost market opens, it is at the time of the alternation of yin and yang, and the surrounding lights and shadows are flickering, you can't see me clearly, I can't see you clearly, so not only the people in the yang world come and go, but also attract the interest of the gods and ghosts in the underworld, and the front foot buys something from you, and the back foot lies back in the coffin.
The most interesting in various legends is that according to legend, the Empress Dowager Cixi celebrated her 60th birthday, and had to let her little eunuchs prepare fox fur, at that time, it was a national disaster, where to get fox skin, seeing that the time limit was approaching, the little eunuch had no choice but to burn incense and worship the Buddha, and there was really a response, taking advantage of the night to buy the best fox skin in the ghost market, and the seller turned into a wisp of green smoke and left, and then touched the fox skin was still hot, the little eunuch then woke up to the seller is the incarnation of the fox fairy, and took off the skin to save his life, anyway, anyway, the previous Pan Jiayuan was quite evil。
