Chapter 12 The Situation in Forty-Nine Cities
At the dinner, Wu Xianfo has always seemed to be honestly afraid, just like a small worker who accompanies the leader to eat, and has never moved his chopsticks a few times from beginning to end.
And Situ is different, this old brother is obviously a lot more open, he doesn't need to be greeted by others when he eats, and he eats by himself.
The sixth master likes to greet people to eat, especially when he sees us eating well, he also feels that there is light on his face, and filling his stomach is secondary.
Xiangjiang ghost eating is simply eating, there is no expression on his face, he has never said a word from beginning to end, it seems that no sound will come out, whether it is the sound of eating or the sound of breathing, there is no such thing, it is so quiet that it is frightening.
After the meal, Wu Xianfo helped the sixth master clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and the Xiangjiang ghost returned to the house without saying a word, saying that he was going to sleep.
"Old Wu, this master is very scary......." Situ muttered, picking at his teeth with his fingers, and said to me in a suppressed voice: "His temperament is terrible....... Look at me....... I feel like I'm going to freeze to death by him......."
I just laughed when I heard Situ say this, and said in my heart, didn't you eat quite vigorously just now, I didn't see that you were a little scared.
"When are we leaving?" I asked Situ.
Situ took out a cigarette and handed it to me, then lit one in his own mouth and smoked silently.
After thinking for a while, he said: "Leave early tomorrow morning, I will arrange a plane for you, go to Lhasa first, and someone will pick you up when you leave the airport." ”
Saying that, Situ also looked a little helpless, glanced at me, and shook his head.
"Actually, I really want to follow you, but now I can see that I am a burden to you, and it is too dangerous to carry me, so you have to take care of me and meet the grandchildren of the old sect...... It's inconvenient to fight. ”
"Actually, I can ignore you." I laughed.
Situ's hand holding the cigarette trembled, and he said with some fear, let's take care of it.
"Whether I can find them or not, I owe you a great favor." I said sincerely, without hypocrisy: "Thank you." ”
"Thanks, I have to thank you." Situ laughed: "You are fighting hard in the country, even the old sect gentlemen over there in Sijiu City have been led away a lot by you, and those two or five boys in the official family have not stared at me anymore, and now I am not ordinary and comfortable." ”
"Hey, that's it?" I looked at him amusedly.
Situ shook his head and said that it was not a rumor, it was a fact.
"There is already a momentum of purge over there in Sijiu City, this time it is an official action, and it is also a signal that the group of people on top of us has begun to crack down on the old religion........" Situ Hehe smiled: "The state machine has made a move, not to mention whether it can kill those old sect gentlemen, even the two or five boys who are dormant in our line of work, absolutely none of them will survive." ”
"Including those two?" I asked tentatively.
"Which two?" Situ looked a little confused.
"It's the two White Dao Immortals who can speak in the old sect......." I said, recalling it carefully, and added: "It seems that one is called the prince and the other is the old lady...... Have you found out who it is? ”
Hearing my question, Situ suddenly changed his expression, looking at me in embarrassment, his eyes indescribably complicated.
"What's wrong?" I was stunned and looked at him in some surprise: "Can't find out?" ”
"To be honest, I don't know." Situ said, his voice gradually suppressed, and finally came to my ear and said, "I feel that I should have found out some eyebrows, because the last time they had a meeting, I heard some gossip from my boss.......
"Who are those two people?" I asked with great interest, with a look of curiosity: "To be respected by so many people in the old sect, their status must not be low, right?" ”
Situ shook his head: "I also asked my boss this question, and the answer he gave me was three words." ”
"What?"
"Can't tell." Situ frowned and said: "Nine times out of ten, the identity of these two people is higher than we imagined, when I listened to them chat, it seemed that they couldn't move if they found out, if you want to move those two people, you have to have countless people to accompany the funeral." ”
"It's okay, I'm not afraid." I smiled and said, "Why don't you ask your boss to give me the information of those two people, and before you go to Tibet, I will go to Sijiu City first and help you make the two rat feces." ”
"Don't." Situ refused without hesitation: "You are a gentleman, I am an official errand, these two trades have been clearly divided from ancient times to the present, if you casually step on the muddy water in each other's trades, it will be a big deal." ”
"Do you think I'm scared?" I asked rhetorically.
In fact, the official forces behind Situ are worried, and I think it is normal to come, because Baidao is not much more complicated than our industry, many things are much more complicated, and there are many unspoken rules that are difficult for us to understand.
The status of those two White Dao Immortals is not ordinary, in fact, it is not only them, as long as the status of the other old sect Erwuzai is high to a certain level and crosses that boundary, then they are not the people who Situ said they could catch if they were caught.
To put it bluntly, in fact, if you want to catch it, you can catch it, but some things are more complicated than we imagined, and the reckless actions will only cause more trouble to Situ and them.
"We're all waiting." Situ sighed: "My boss said it, it's not time yet." ”
"It's not fucking time yet......." I shook my head, "You guys have to wait until the Year of the Monkey?" ”
When Situ heard me say this, he couldn't help laughing and shrugged his shoulders: "It's all up to you, if you almost wipe out the forces of the old sect, we won't have so many scruples, and it will be a matter of minutes to catch them all." ”
As he spoke, Situ lay on the grass with his head up, looking at the beautiful Milky Way in the sky, as if he was stunned, and did not make a sound for a long time.
After a while, Situ spoke and sighed: "To be honest, the reality is quite cruel. ”
I sat cross-legged beside him, looking at Situ with a tired face, and I suddenly felt a little tired.
"This is a game of chess, but after the winner is divided, there is no handshake and goodbye, whoever loses has to die, I know it......." Situ muttered: "If you lose, everyone in the world will have to die with you, tell me what this is called!" ”
I smiled and didn't speak, and looked up at the sky.
I was going to see the starry sky overhead, but after a cold look, I found something else.
Fish.
"Fuck ?!!" Situ also saw those things, sat up like a corpse, opened his eyes wide and asked me, "Old Shen, have you seen it?!" ”
"See......" I said, squinting at the "fish".
I have to say, that scene was really shocking.
The fish we see is almost translucent, and we can see a large outline, but we can't see the bones and internal organs under the flesh, only a border-like outline.
From head to tail, each fish is almost 20 meters long, and looking at the body outline, it is also very similar to the common carp, a total of 18.
The fish "swam" from the end of the woods, floating in the sky 100 meters above the ground.
They swim in the same way as ordinary fish, not fast, and look a little leisurely, like a scattered walk, swimming slowly.
As they swam directly above us, a light rain began to fall in the sky, but it soon stopped as they left.
"What are these things??" Situ looked at the fish with a look of surprise.
"It's a spirit animal."
I watched the fish streak across the sky and drift away before I explained to Situ.
"I heard the sixth master say that this seems to be the spirit animal in the Xiangjiang River, the length of the water (zhang)...... In the south of the Yangtze River, there is the length of water, its body is like a carp, mysterious and spiritual, and it is hidden with the wind, and people can't see it.......
Situ listened to my story, and his expression became distant, and he seemed to be stunned as he watched those fish go away.
"Go to bed, you have to get up early tomorrow."
I laughed and patted him on the shoulder.
"That's right! I'll have to help you find grandpa tomorrow! Situ also laughed.
As soon as the words fell, Situ saw that I didn't say anything, so he comforted me, I will definitely find it, and you will be worried.
"Let's hope......."
I clutched the envelope in my pocket, and my feelings became a little complicated...... Or, rather, fear.
That feeling of suffering from gains and losses is more torturous than anything else.
I lost everything, and now I have a chance to get it back....... But what if all this is really delusional?
Thinking of this, my heart began to beat faster, and the fear enveloped me in an instant.
"....... I hope God doesn't make fun of me anymore........"
