Chapter 328: Demon Carnival (2)
At this moment, there were no stars above my head, but it was as if I had suddenly opened my eyes and saw the stars of the Milky Way.
If one looks at our world from an extraterrestrial, cosmic perspective, like a giant looking at an ant's nest, any trouble can be solved at the snap of a finger.
At this moment, the distance between me and Gu Qingcheng is the same. In the eyes of human beings, the barriers of time and space cannot be reached instantly, but for a master like the flint Taoist, is this still an obstacle?
The inspiration given to me by the Taoist chief is extremely far-reaching, and what I can appreciate is "overcoming difficulties and moving forward all the way".
There is a famous sentence in the poems of the ancients, "I am not afraid of clouds to cover my eyes, only because I am at the top", which is exactly the guidance given to me by the Taoist.
"I'm going into that labyrinth." I say.
"If there is no labyrinth, how can you get in and out?" The flintstone Taoist asked.
"Isn't life the biggest labyrinth in the world? Isn't obsession the fiercest battle? Isn't it the most cruel adventure? I asked three times.
"One breath is there, and it is endless." The flintstone Taoist replied not to the question.
I also responded to him with an epiphany: "To live is to cultivate, to seek is to preach, and the process is to enlighten." β
The anxiety, pessimism, restlessness, and distress along the way were all resolved in the conversation with the flint chief, and they dispersed like smoke.
The word "wu wei" in the Tao Te Ching speaks of attitudes, not appearances. I tried my best to find Gu Tingcheng, it was "inaction", not "inaction".
What "Wu Wei" tells us is to do things with an honest attitude, not to be vain, not to be cunning, not to deceive, not to deceive oneself and not to deceive others.
"Alright." Flintstone Michigan said.
I also responded, "Okay." β
At this point, I hung up gently.
There was silence in the building, and everyone was listening to me calling.
I turned my head and told Qu Yi: "Miss Gu is not here, some people say that she disappeared in the Mogao Grottoes, and that is the most valuable place to trace." β
"Really?" Qu Yi didn't believe it, and his brothers were also full of doubts.
"She disappeared there, and you came here to look for it, didn't you carve a boat for a sword, and a wood for a fish?" I patiently explained, "It's dangerous here, and if you don't leave, you and your brothers will have to fold here." β
Miyankov and Lady Ice are pythons, but Qu Yi and the people of the Crane Gang are guinea pigs and can't withstand a kiss from the snake.
"Why are we leaving? The target is inside the wall, and it can be found by blowing it up. The gang bosses said that as long as they save people, whether they live or die, they will be seriously injured, right? Qu Yi's brother roared.
On the surface, everyone heard Gu Qingcheng's cry for help, and she really should be somewhere behind the stone wall.
The Chinese are the best at attacking the heart and mind of "there must be brave men under the heavy reward", and these people have been burned red by the so-called "heavy reward" and will never return empty-handed.
"Shut up, shut up, shut up." Qu Yi scolded in a low voice.
"That's it, it's up to you." I reluctantly returned the phone to Qu Yi.
There are clouds in the rivers and lakes, and cutting off people's wealth is like killing parents.
I said what I should say, and I have reminded me in many ways that whether or not these people can be saved depends on their creation.
"Long Shao, you have always been my idol, but this time, I must be responsible for the gang and the brothers." Qu Yi said.
I know he's already made his decision. All roads lead to Rome, but he chooses a fast lane that goes straight to hell.
"Okay, we'll see you later." I nodded.
There are still five minutes left before the time agreed by Mrs. Bing, and I can only choose to evacuate and leave the endgame to the Crane Gang.
"What's the sound?" The three closest people leaning against the stone wall suddenly shouted at the same time.
To my surprise, a vertical crack silently opened in the center of the stone wall, and then the stone wall turned into two gates, slowly opening to the inside.
"It's a door, it's a cave, the target must be inside, the blood spell works...... "Everyone couldn't suppress the ecstasy in their hearts.
I knew what was going to happen next, and these young men with strong blood would not think about the consequences, and would definitely rush in like moths to the flames.
"Anything else to say?" I asked.
Qu Yi shook his head: "No, people are in the rivers and lakes, and you can't help yourself, sometimes it's not whether you want to do it or not, but you have to do it and live as others want." β
Outside, a shrill trumpet sounded.
I know that it was the retreat call of the armies of the great northern powers, and it was also a warning to me from Lady Ice. This is the first time, the trumpet is blown three times, and the most terrible thing is about to begin.
"Yes, without breaking through this, people will never be free, and they will always be tied to the chariot of the gang." I say this sincerely.
If I dare to leave Peraktang, it proves that the ideological realm is higher than Qu Yi, and I can not only give up glory, wealth, and great future, but also ignore the white eyes of my colleagues and thousands of people.
"Goodbye, if there is a life goodbye, please have a drink." Qu Yi said.
Without waiting for me to reply, he led the eleven men into the open portal.
The spells on the stone wall are still there, and each stroke is naturally intertwined, like a "one-stroke painting".
Since the charm comes from the flint master, it must have its own unique meaning.
I took a picture of the charm with my phone, and then left the temple when the second trumpet sounded, returned to the small building, and met with Miyankov and the others.
Madame Ice was also there, her face very gloomy, and she was not happy that I had returned as scheduled.
"It's the people of the Crane Gang on Hong Kong Island, and they have been entrusted to find the missing person." I say.
The people around Miyankov immediately whispered to him the origin of the Crane Gang, but the Crane Gang did not have any influence in the world, and it was far less famous than the "Hezihao" gangs on Hong Kong Island.
The gangs of the northern powers have always developed in Europe and North America, and rarely cross the entire Asian continent from north to south to Hong Kong Island and Southeast Asia, so Miyankov is not interested in this topic.
"Let's get started." Miyankov ordered.
Although the two bigwigs were present at the same time, when Miyankov gave the order, he did not ask Madame Bing at all, which was already a taboo for the stability and unity of the country.
I didn't explain the details of the temple to everyone, the matter involved the flint Taoist, and if I explained it in detail, it would not be able to be finished in a few words.
Everyone hugged Miyankov up to the terrace and left me aside.
I was a little tired and walked into the kitchen alone to make coffee.
The Crane Gang is a small character in the big chaos, and it can't splash a few small waves, and it is Gu Tingguo who really gives me a headache.
From the moment I got on the phone, I could tell that he knew everything about everything, that I was in Cheka Town, and that I would definitely call Qu Yi when I met him, and that he would definitely ask about the origin of the charm, so he had already prepared an answer for me.
In the face of such an immovable and stable master of the rivers and lakes, no matter what I do, I will fall into his calculations and become an ordinary son in his battle situation.
"What does he want to do? Did he just want to save Gu Chengcheng? If he's from the Brotherhood, then it's all a Brotherhood game. If this is the case, even Miyankov will be reduced to a pawn. "I was a little depressed, but I couldn't help it.
The world's rivers and lakes will always be a situation of "there are people outside the world, and there are heavens outside the sky", and the brotherhood will always be "outsiders, outside the sky", even the catastrophe of global wars such as World War I and World War II cannot shake the foundation of the brotherhood.
They are human beings, but they are incomparably close to God, coming and going without a trace, and the dragon sees the head but does not see the end.
The coffee pot boiled, and the spilled coffee spilled on the stove with a sizzling sound that broke my musings.
Mrs. Ice flashed in, lightly turned off the fire, and poured me coffee.
"Double sugar? Double milk? Double chocolate? She asked.
I nodded, feeling that the other person was really understanding. When I came back from the snow, I needed a cup of coffee with high heat, sugar, and milk the most, so the sugar, milk, and chocolate had to be doubled.
Mrs. Ice's hands were dexterous, and a few seconds later, a steaming cup of coffee was delivered to me.
"Add two slices of ginger and two slices of mint, which can best keep out the cold and wake up your mind." She said.
I've seen some interviews with Electric Falcon, and one of them talks about how he always makes a pot of hot coffee with ginger and mint to release his stress when faced with a big problem.
"I know what you're thinking." I say.
In fact, Lady Ice was reminding me in this unique way that we were working together for the sake of the Electric Falcon.
"Thank you, it's best if you understand." Mrs. Ice nodded, "I need a very efficient plan to rescue the president, it is urgent, but in the current situation, no one is willing to support me. So...... I had to do something to change this passivity. β
I took a sip of my coffee, and the tip of my tongue tingled slightly, which was the dual effect of ginger and mint that instantly calmed my stuffy mind.
"Third in line to act presidentβ" I muttered.
"It's me." Lady Ice's eyes lit up like two freshly cleaned black crystals.
At this point, we were all completely convinced that we had really seen through each other's minds.
Madame Ice is the "third in line to succeed" in the plan of the acting president of the northern powers, and it is clear that when Miyankov is killed, she will immediately become the acting president, combining all power in one. Her goal is to launch a search and rescue operation in the Arctic Circle, and once in power, she can rally the power of the whole country to pounce on the Arctic Circle.
This is the magic of love and has nothing to do with politics.
I'm fully convinced that if she had to choose between power and Denfalcon, she would definitely choose the latter.
"Well, the cooperation continues to work." I held the cup in both hands and looked out the window, but out of the corner of my eye I was focused on the living room.
Miyankov is not a guinea pig, but a python like Lady Ice.
Madame Ice calculates him, and he will also calculate Madame Bing. Then, an infighting-style fight is inevitable.
I'm on Mrs. Ice's side, and she's going to win.
At this point, I fully understood the deepest attempt of Lady Ice and me - the battle for power.
It's terrible for a woman in love, and her scheming is so subtle that she completely traps everyone in it, but she doesn't move, and no one notices. During the whole process, Miyankov, Shalo and the others were all puppets, and she moved them around, unaware of them.
If Lady Ice succeeds, such an ending must be of great benefit to me.
Miyankov was too rigid and self-serving, and allowing him to ascend the throne could be a global catastrophe.
"Thank you, thank you." Madame Bing bowed slightly, and beads of sweat were already oozing from the tip of her nose.
As you can imagine, she was really nervous while waiting for me to make a statement, for fear that if I broke my promise on the spot, her plan would be exposed.
I'm glad I made the right choice, otherwise, one of the two people in the kitchen would have fallen on the spot and become a victim before the war began.
"At home in the capital, I have a bottle of wine that has been stored for three hundred years. I'm sure we'll be drinking it in the cellar over there in twenty-four hours. Lady Ice said.
"Hopefully, but until then, we have to remove all obstacles. Alright, here's the wayβ" I gestured with my gaze, drawing Mrs. Bing's attention to the living room.
In the living room, four bodyguards turned their backs to us, each looking down to check their firearms.
Madame Ice picked up a silver fork casually, and with a bend of her fingers, the fork was hidden in her sleeve.
"No, you go and stabilize the acting president, and leave it to me here." I say.
The bodyguard does not have the right to choose the owner, but is chosen by the owner. Whatever their master tells them to do, they can only do as they are told. Therefore, even if these four people were to do anything to me and Lady Ice, they would not be guilty of death.
"In a hurry, don't be bound by a woman's kindness." Lady Ice shook her head.
I shook my head, "Madam, since we want to cooperate, it's best to respect our own habits, okay?" β
Mrs. Bing smiled: "Okay, you Chinese like to be gentlemen, then you can be a gentleman." I went to the terrace to watch the fireworks and fireworks. β
She waved again, and the fork landed on the countertop.
Out of the corner of my eye, the four bodyguards finished checking their guns, pretending to be nothing, and walked towards the kitchen.
