Chapter 21: A New Crisis
"Mr. Xu, how are things going?" The man clasped his hands over his chest and looked at him with a smile.
As soon as Xu Jie saw him, he hurriedly smiled and walked forward and said, "Mr. Ji, it's done." ”
"Mr. Xu is really capable, and he actually arrived two days earlier than I expected." The person who spoke to him was Ji Wei among the six evils, and I saw him stretch out his hand, "Something?" ”
Xu Jie hurriedly took out the string of Buddhist beads from his pocket and handed it to him respectfully.
Ji Wei looked at the string of Buddhist beads against the sun, nodded with great satisfaction, and then he fiddled with the Buddhist beads and crushed them one by one.
Xu Jie was stunned by his surprised actions, this is a valuable cultural relic, and it was destroyed at will like this! He said unwillingly: "Mr. Ji, is it too wasteful for you to do this?" ”
"You'll know right away." Ji Wei's hand still didn't stop while he spoke, and he didn't stop this rude behavior until he touched a Buddhist bead. But Xu Jie has already seen the fame, because this inconspicuous-looking Buddha bead can't be crushed in Ji Wei's hands.
"Looks like this one." The corners of Ji Wei's mouth hooked up a surprised smile, and with a slight force of his hand, he tore the Buddha bead off the bead string, and the remaining Buddha beads also lost the support of the red rope, scattered like pearls, and made a crisp sound on the ground.
Xu Jie suddenly felt distressed, and hurriedly bent down to pick up the scattered Buddha beads.
"Mr. Xu, don't pick up these things." Ji Wei narrowed his eyes, with a hint of contempt and mockery. "The money I gave you is enough for you to live the rest of your life in peace."
"Huh." Xu Jie laughed, nodded and said, "Then the remaining 250,000, Mr. Ji can give it to me, right?" ”
"Of course, I mean what I say." Ji Wei took out a bank card and handed it to him, "The money has been transferred to this card, and the password is still the same as last time." ”
"Thank you, thank you, Mr. Ji."
"In recognition of your early completion of the mission, I decided to surprise you."
Xu Jie hurriedly asked, "What surprise?" ”
"The money in the card is much more than 250,000!"
"Ah, it won't be 300,000, right?" Xu Jie was so excited that his hand holding the card was trembling slightly.
"Am I like Hanako?" Ji Wei patted Xu Jie's shoulder and whispered in his ear: "There are 2.5 million in the card." ”
"Mr. Ji, you're not joking, are you?" Xu Jie's hands trembled even more.
"Do you think I'm joking?" Ji Wei's eyes were cold, "But you have to be a man with your tail between your legs, but don't have money to spend on it." ”
"Mr. Ji, please rest assured, God knows this matter, you know it, I know it, and I will never say it."
"Well, that's for the best."
"That'...... It's okay, I'll go first. ”
Seeing Ji Wei nodding expressionlessly, an indescribable sense of fear suddenly rose in Xu Jie's heart, and he turned around and left quickly without even saying goodbye. Because he instinctively felt that the local tyrant of unknown origin in front of him would never be a good person, but more like a demon who eats people and does not spit out bones.
"I really didn't expect the task to be so easy." Ji Wei sighed lightly and put the Buddha bead into his arms. He watched Xu Jie's departing back, and an imperceptible eerie cold light flashed in his eyes.
At this moment, a car suddenly roared from the originally empty street, and the wild horse rushed into the sidewalk, knocking the unsuspecting Xu Jie headlong.
Xu Jie didn't even have time to scream, and his body fell heavily into the hard concrete floor like a cannonball, and the blood flowing from his body instantly stained the tiles on the sidewalk. And the bank card that had been put in the purse flew into the air ghostly, and finally landed on Xu Jie's dead eyes.
"Hehe, only the dead can keep secrets." Ji Wei shook his head and sighed in a sneer. "I said that having money to earn does not necessarily mean that you have a life to spend, why don't you believe it."
In the blink of an eye, Ji Wei's figure disappeared into the sidewalk, and only the frightened driver was left at the scene of the car accident staring at Xu Jie's body at a loss.
When Ji Wei's figure reappeared, he was already leisurely drinking tea in the underground palace that was hard to find in the world, and several other members of the Six Evils were sitting on the black stone chairs, staring at him with their eyes intended.
A strong fragrance of flowers wafted in, and on the dragon chair made of black crystal, the figure of the goddess who guided Qi Lu to Hangzhou to find the metaphor was quietly appearing.
As she materialized on the black chair, the stone walls of the entire cave emitted a soft light like countless night pearls, illuminating the mysterious underground palace as if it were day.
Ji Wei saw that the master had appeared, and hurriedly put down the teacup and walked forward and bent down to salute.
"I see that you look good today, presumably the task has been completed, right?" The goddess lightly opened her lips.
"Thanks to the master, the little one has successfully gotten the things." Ji Wei presented her with the Buddhist beads.
"It's hard for you." The goddess gently pinched the Buddha bead and spat out a breath of fairy breath from her mouth, "It's time to return to your true face." ”
Under the catalysis of the immortal energy, the Buddha beads suddenly burst out of the brilliant brilliance from the inside. Its surface cracked and fell off, eventually turning into a crystal clear bead.
The goddess looked at the bead between her fingers and smiled lightly. "We've got six parts in hand, so there's only the last one left."
Liusha lowered his head and was speechless, knowing that the last part was in Qi Lu's hand, but no one dared to say more.
"Why, don't you talk anymore?" The goddess smiled charmingly.
"Please indicate your next move!" The six evils spoke in unison.
"The last part, I don't say, everyone knows who owns it." The goddess glanced at her six subordinates and whispered, "What do you think?" ”
Seeing that his companions were pretending to be dumb, Hu Lei stepped forward and said: "Qi Lu is good at conspiracy and trickery, in order to prevent long nights and dreams, his subordinates think that they should take action as soon as possible. ”
"What do you mean?"
"Since it is inconvenient for the master to come forward, you might as well gather the strength of the six of us and others to destroy the Kunlun Office and force him to hand over the last part."
"What if he won't give in easily?"
Hu Lei said with a sneer: "I can capture that mortal woman surnamed Ding and threaten her life to force Qi Lu to hand over what we want." ”
"Giggles." The goddess pursed her lips and smiled, "This is indeed a method, but are you sure that you can catch her under Qi Lu's nose?" ”
"It's more than enough to deal with the three of them with the strength of the six of us, and my subordinates don't think it's a difficult task."
"Alas!" The goddess sighed and said faintly, "It seems that you have suffered too little. ”
"The master should not grow the morale of others and destroy his own prestige." Hu Lei saw that his master was defending Qi Lu everywhere, and his face showed a dissatisfied look.
"Do you think you're favoring someone from the Kunlun Office?"
"The subordinates don't dare."
"Then do you know the reason why I gave three points to Qi Luli?"
"The subordinates are stupid, please make it clear to the master." Hulei looked up.
"He's not a human soul master at all......" The goddess glanced at Hu Lei meaningfully, and then said, "He, like me, is one of the Kunlun gods. ”
As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar, and except for Yi Hanchuan, who was still closing his eyes and recuperating his mind, everyone else turned their surprised eyes to the goddess on the dragon chair.
But her next words surprised them even more. "Not only is Qi Lu a god hidden in the world, but even his assistant Lao Wu is also a member of the god clan."
Hu Lei shouted: "This is impossible! ”
"What's impossible, don't you think it's strange that a human soul master can easily identify the identity of you and others? If he hadn't lived for more than 1,000 years, how could he have such an extraordinary experience? ”
Hu Lei was suddenly shocked, but he had to admit that his master's words did not have much exaggeration.
The goddess said again: "You have been possessed by the spirit of the Southern Dipper Six Star Monarch, and the world can't detect the breath of the demon clan in your body at all, why can Qi Lu easily detect it?" Don't you understand that the only one who can see through this trick can be God! Only the Protoss can experience the subtle differences between gods and demons with the same feelings! ”
"Thank you, master, for your words." This time, Hu Lei no longer doubted what his master said, but he asked tentatively. "Qi Lu's true identity is which god of Kunlun?"
"When the time comes, I'll tell you." The goddess glanced at the six evils again, and wherever her eyes touched, all the demons bowed their heads to avoid her majestic divine light.
Hu Lei was stunned for a moment, and had to say in a low voice: "It seems that the master already has a clever plan in mind to seize the last part?" ”
"I don't have a good idea." The goddess shook her head and said, "In the current situation, not only can we not be an enemy of Qi Lu, but we must also form an alliance with him after he completes the parable. ”
"Why?" Not only Hu Lei, but even the other five youkai were shocked when they heard this.
"Because I have a premonition that in the near future a catastrophe is about to destroy the world. We can't stop it by our strength, so I must unite all the forces that can unite. ”
"Ah, and that kind of thing?" It was just a moment of surprise, and Hu Lei smiled. "Aren't we going to destroy the old world and create a new one? In that case, why don't we sit back and enjoy it, and why should you worry, master? ”
"You're so confused!" The goddess's eyes showed a look of hatred for iron but not steel. "If the apocalypse comes, we will be the first sacrifice of the Destroyer! He will never allow us to get a piece of his share, because there is no going against his will in the world he has constructed! ”
Hu Lei's face was so frightened that he still asked his question unwillingly: "In the last catastrophe, the gods of Kunlun were almost dead, and the remaining ones are still surviving, how can they have such magical powers to change heaven and earth?" ”
"The remnants of my people really don't have this ability. Even I have to use the power of the Celestial Bow to achieve what I want. ”
The goddess lowered her head suddenly, looking straight at Hu Lei in front of her, like a deep abyss, snow suddenly appeared under her eyes, and it was so bright that it was difficult to see in an instant.
Hu Lei's body trembled suddenly, and he quickly knelt on the ground. "Please forgive your subordinates for talking too much."
"This god is not of our kind, he is a demon who has been banished by the gods since ancient times. It's a pity that he's about to break free from the cage and make a comeback. ”
As she spoke, the glow on the stone wall was extinguished, and the goddess stood in the darkness, her eyes bursting out with several bright beams of light, but they still couldn't dispel the awe of the natural ghostly nature around her. The word that slipped from Sakura's lips was like a bloody blade without a sharp edge, and at the moment of the wrong body, Hu Lei in front of him was drenched in cold sweat.
"No matter what, I'm going to do everything I can to stop him and let him go to the ground!"
