The head of the lights out walked up to the podium with a solemn expression, raised his feet and crossed his knees, sat on the chair of the main speaker, and then whispered: "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable-". If you take off the baseball cap on your head and replace a casual suit with a Taoist robe, you will be like a Taoist who has cultivated to a high level.

Zhao Liang's head broke out in a cold sweat, and he couldn't help but secretly look at Guan Lin's reaction. I saw Deputy Director Guan sitting under the stage with his shoulders crossed, his face was pale, and his expression was as ugly as he looked.

Because there is no PPT slide assistance, all the handouts prepared by Shi Xiaofeng to help turn off the lights before are not used, and the head of the lights out road does not remember the content that is not four or six at all. He calmed down and turned his hard practice in the first half of his life into incisive expositions, using his own understanding and language to preach the mysteries of the natural Tao to everyone present.

To tell the truth, the Taoist philosophical thought of being mysterious and mysterious, not to mention the pure method of preaching the scriptures and discussing the Tao like turning off the lights, is to invite Guo Degang here and use stand-up comedy to show it, and it can also directly confuse people. So not long after, in the huge conference room, except for Vice President Lu and Zhu Yunwen, who listened with relish, and occasionally could interject a sentence or two, and communicate with the head of the lights-out road for a while, everyone else was already drowsy, and some even simply closed their eyes and let out a slight snoring sound.

I don't know how long it took, but the warm applause of Vice Dean Lu and Teacher Zhu woke up the people who were asleep. Guan Lin yawned, rubbed his sleepy eyes, and asked in a daze, "Huh?" Are you done? How's it going? ”

"Oh, that's amazing, that's amazing!" Vice President Lu couldn't hide his excitement: "Deputy Director Guan, you can be regarded as inviting a master this time." This Professor of the West is definitely the best expert in the academic field of Taoism I have ever met! Although he does not study some of the classics and scriptures of Taoism deeply, and many of the scriptures after the Han Dynasty are not familiar with memorization, his understanding of Taoist thought, not to mention how many levels stronger than the old decay, is compared with several well-known Taoist masters in China, I am afraid it is not much better. However, Professor Xi, like us, is also a nerd who only knows how to delve into knowledge, and may not like you leaders, hahaha. ”

Guan Lin hurriedly bowed and said politely: "Wherever and wherever we are, whether it is the experts of the Academy of Sciences or the external consultants, including Professor Xi, they are all respectable teachers to us." It's too late to learn from you, how dare you say you don't like it? Professor Xi's lecture can be recognized by Lu Lao, and we are also honored to be in the anti-penetration bureau. ”

He looked at his watch and said apologetically: "You see that this matter is making trouble, it is all because I didn't arrange it in advance, and it is already half past two in the morning, delaying the rest of the experts." ”

"It's okay," Vice Dean Lu stood up and said with a smile: "The ancients, listening to your words is better than reading a book for ten years, today's lecture, the old man has benefited a lot, but I hate that the time is still a little short, and I can't ask Professor Xi for more advice." As he spoke, he nodded to the lights-out chief who was walking off the podium: "Is it convenient to add a WeChat?" I'd like to visit you when I have time, so let's have a good chat. ”

Lights out was stunned when he heard this: "WeChat? I ......"

Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Zhao Liang hurriedly took a step forward and said in horror: "Vice Dean Lu, let's add my WeChat first, and I'll push Professor Xi's account to you when I go back." His phone is out of battery and he has it in the office to charge it. ”

Seeing that Vice Dean Lu was a little surprised, Guan Lin introduced absentmindedly: "Oh, this is the acting director of our pre-Qin department, Zhao Liang. ”

"Oh, it turned out to be the director of the Pre-Qin Division, so young?" Vice President Lu was surprised: "I'm afraid Director Zhao is less than thirty, right?" ”

Zhao Liang nodded: "Yes, I am twenty-two years old this year." ”

Hearing this, the experts of the Academy of Sciences couldn't help but be amazed. You must know that the Anti-Crossing Investigation Bureau is a first-level unit under the secret service headquarters, coupled with the particularity of their work, so the director here, whether it is level or seniority, is many times higher than those government agencies outside.

It is no exaggeration to say that being able to be the director of the anti-penetration bureau is no less than being the director of an ordinary unit. And Zhao Liang said that he was only in his early twenties, apparently not long after graduating from school, he actually sat on the top spot of the anti-penetration bureau Xianqin, how could it not be surprising?

An expert from the Academy of Sciences couldn't help but praise: "Director Zhao is really young and promising." Speaking of which, I've had many years of dealing with the secret service headquarters and the military, but I've never met a senior cadre as young as you, which is really remarkable. ”

Shi Xiaofeng interjected on the side: "That is, our director has just entered the anti-penetration bureau for less than half a year, and he has cracked two major cases one after another, which has won the appreciation of the bureau leaders. ”

"No wonder," the other expert nodded, "I guess you should be a rising star in the anti-penetration game." ”

Zhao Liang scratched his head embarrassedly, and hurriedly humbled himself. Guan Lin, who was standing on the side, almost didn't tilt his nose. "Tomorrow's Star" has always been his exclusive title, why did it accidentally fall on Zhao Liang's head? In terms of age, he is only six years older than Zhao Liang, but his rank is higher, and he is the first deputy director of the eight classics, and he doesn't know how much stronger than some unreliable acting director. Guan Lin scolded in his heart: Are these nerds of the Academy of Sciences blind? How unreasonable!

Vice President Lu didn't notice Guan Lin's unhappiness, and still said happily: "Director Zhao looks like the kind of shrewd and capable general with good planning. As soon as you can ask Professor Xi to be your advisor, the old man can conclude that your vision and mind are definitely well-known in the anti-penetration bureau. ”

Although Zhao Liang sounded very useful in this compliment, he couldn't help but secretly complain in his heart: My Uncle Lu, don't praise me anymore, Guan Lin's murderous aura is almost uncontrollable, this is a live killing!

For the sake of his life, he hurriedly changed the topic: "You guys are really awarded, I can achieve a little bit of results, all thanks to Deputy Director Guan's leadership, he is the real tomorrow's star of the anti-penetration bureau, hehehe." ”

When Guan Lin heard Zhao Liang say this, the nameless fire in his heart calmed down a little, and he smiled helplessly: "Come on, come on, we are touting each other internally, and we are not afraid of the jokes of the experts of the Academy of Sciences." It's not early today, so let's go back and rest early. Lu Lao, I will send you. ”

The people who participated in the ventilation meeting stayed up for 13 hours from 2 o'clock in the afternoon to nearly 3 o'clock in the middle of the night, and they were so sleepy that they almost lost their breath. At this time, when he heard Guan Lin's words, everyone seemed to have been amnestied, packed up their things in a hurry, and left the conference room as if fleeing for their lives.

Zhao Liang saw that it was about to dawn in a few hours, so instead of driving home and waking up his mother, it was better to spend the night in the office. He asked Shi Xiaofeng and the lights out Taoist for their opinions, and both of them agreed not to toss around, so they followed Zhao Liang back to Xianqin to lay the floor.

Vice President Lu's praise just now made the lights out Taoist can't help but feel that it is difficult to find a soulmate, and he is a little excited, so he can't fall asleep lying on the marching bed over and over, and he pulls Shi Xiaofeng to chat vigorously, and can't help but ask him how he behaved just now? The old immortal was so satisfied after hearing this, would he become an immortal as soon as he was happy?

Shi Xiaofeng couldn't stand it anymore, and while snoring, he responded to the question of the head of the lights out in a daze.

Zhao Liang, who had been facing away from them and had never spoken, suddenly turned over at this time, stared at the lights out and said, "Dao Chief, let me ask you something." ”

When the lights went out, he thought that the Aquarius Star Immortal Chief had already slept, but he didn't expect the other party to suddenly ask, so he hurriedly got up and said respectfully: "If the Immortal Chief has any inquiries, Xiaodao must know everything." ”

Zhao Liang also got up, draped in a blanket and asked, "Eh, how do you feel about coming to the Heavenly Realm for so long?" ”

The lights out chief replied with a smile: "I won't tell you anything, my life is worth living." After decades of devout practice, Xiaodao never dared to have the luxury of soaring into an immortal, just thinking that he would have the opportunity to fight for the unity of heaven and man, prolong his life, and see more of the world, so that this life is enough. Unexpectedly, I was fated to meet the immortal chief, and by the ignition of you and the fairy girl, I really came to the heavenly realm and traveled once. I learned the skills, grew knowledge, and ate so many delicacies and fairy fruits that only the gods are qualified to enjoy, and in the end, thanks to the immortals, I was ordered to take the stage to discuss the Tao, and then go back to the mortal world to open a sect, subdue demons and eliminate demons, and do the way for the sky, for me, it can be described as a great opportunity that is rare in the ages. ”

As he spoke, he stood up with the lights out, and said solemnly: "Immortal Zhao Liang, you have a great favor to Xiaodao, please accept my sincere worship." ”

Zhao Liang saw that Master Zu was about to kowtow to himself again, so he hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop him, pressed the lights out back to the marching bed, and said, "Don't don't, don't do this." We are brothers who were born and died together, you are always so neat, I don't know if you will lose my life. ”

The lantern-out Taoist didn't understand how the immortals could be afraid of losing their lives, but since the immortal chief was not subject to his own bowing, it made sense to think about it, so he sat up and listened carefully to what the immortal chief was going to say next.

I only heard Zhao Liang ask again: "Is the heavenly realm good?" ”

"Good!"

"Where's the good?"

"Anywhere!"

"Aren't you a little reluctant to leave?"

The lights out chief hesitated for a moment and replied, "Well, don't dare to deceive the immortal chief, there is indeed a little bit." Still, I hope to return to the mortal world as soon as possible. ”

Zhao Liang was still a little worried, and he didn't know how to bring out the matter of returning to Qin Mo with the lights out, but when he heard the other party say this, he couldn't help but be curious: "Why?" ”

"It is my mission to eliminate demons and defend the way, and I dare not delay for a moment." Turning off the lights said very simply, without the slightest hesitation, the meaning of the words is very clear, in order to support justice and eradicate demons, even if it is a beautiful heavenly realm, he is willing to stop being nostalgic.

After getting along for so long, Zhao Liang certainly understood the power of the belief in the heart of the lights out Taoist chief, and his admiration arose spontaneously, and he bowed slightly: "Well said!" Daoist and I first got acquainted in the Lingxiao Palace of Sifang Mountain, and later went to Xianyang to fight side by side, and now we are gathered here, and our fate is not deep. But as the saying goes, 'there is no feast in the world that will never be dispersed', you and I have our own missions, and there will always be a time to say goodbye. Every time I think that I will be separated from you one day, I feel extremely reluctant. So, I don't want to lie to you anymore, I'm going to tell you all the truth. ”

Lights out was slightly stunned: "The truth? What truth? ”

Zhao Liang took a deep breath, as if he had made up his mind, and was silent for a moment before finally speaking: "This is not the heavenly realm, but the future. ”
