Chapter 64: What are the chances of victory?
Ma Bin has lost contact with us, I wonder if he is locked up?
This makes our prospects for defeating Lu Xingming more and more slim.
But Lu Xiaoling is still full of confidence, "Since ancient times, evil has prevailed over good!" We'll definitely find a way! She cheered me on loudly.
The biggest obstacle in front of us is Huang Qihu, if either Master Lu and Master Cao are in the far mountains, it shouldn't be a problem to deal with him.
But Master Lu has passed away, and Master Cao's side, after that phone call, I no longer have the idea of looking for him.
"What if we join the Special Cases Administration?" I said to Lu Xiaoling.
This is the only way to solve it after I think about it repeatedly.
Judging from Ma Bin's activities, in fact, the Special Case Management Bureau is not as strict as we imagined, but not only that, but they have rich resources and networks, which can allow us to do many things that are impossible to do with our current status.
With Lu Xiaoling's skills and cultivation, after joining, he will definitely be able to obtain much higher authority and resources than Ma Bin, in that case, it should be much easier for us to deal with Huang Qihu.
"But Uncle Cao didn't say it......" Lu Xiaoling objected. And those things were snatched from the monks! To join them is to betray! ”
It's really hard for me to understand Lu Xiaoling's hostility towards the Special Case Administration, but when she says this, I can only let go of this thought.
We began to think of other ways, Huang Qihu's Dao technique is higher than Lu Xiaoling's, but it is not absolutely overwhelming, when setting up the formation, he even needs Lu Xinghua to help him delay time, which may indicate that his Dao technique also has many limitations?
That night, Huang Qihu talked about the thing of the Heavenly Yin Soul Channel, which sounded like a formation to change the life of the Lu family against the sky?
"It's never easy to change your life." Lu Xiaoling analyzed, "It should consume a lot of Huang Qihu's energy, and if he is lucky, it may even be possible for his two apprentices to be trapped in it together and have no way to get out." Our only chance may be at that time! ”
"But how are we going to know when and where they're doing this?"
Without Ma Bin's help, it would have been impossible for us to sneak into Huaishan Road or track Lu Xingming, and frankly, we are almost blind now.
Lu Yunwen obviously had no way to rely on, so we turned our attention to Lu Xinghua's wife, Zhang Yi.
In that fire, she was the one who lost the most.
She lost her husband, and also lost her status and wealth in the Lu family.
If we told her the truth, she would help us, right?
But the question is, does she have the means and courage to do so?
After the fire at the Lu Mansion, the Lu family temporarily moved to a high-end apartment in the city, where the security was so tight that there was almost no possibility for us to get in. But the children still have to go to school after all, so one morning, Lu Xiaoling and I approached Zhang Yi at the gate of the primary school.
"Do you want to know the truth about Lu Xinghua's murder?" The driver's bodyguard was not far away, and we could only walk past her quickly with our voices low.
"What did you say?" Her face changed all at once.
I blocked the bodyguard's sight with my body, and Lu Xiaoling secretly handed over a card to her: "Find a time when no one is there to make this call." ”
We quickly left the crowd, and the bodyguards didn't even notice our movements.
"It feels like being an agent!" Lu Xiaoling said excitedly.
But my emotions couldn't be raised, Zhang Yi's expression was very depressed, as if to remind me that Lu Xinghua died at my hands in a sense.
"Don't think about those things all the time!" Lu Xiaoling suddenly grabbed my hand. "It wasn't you who killed him, but his own greed and Huang Qihu's meanness! What we're doing now is to get rid of them! ”
The only thing we could do was wait, and Lu Xiaoling began to draw the most powerful runes she could control, while I could only continue to meditate.
Drawing runes is not a simple matter, theoretically speaking, runes are a kind of pictographic text graphics drawn on paper, which is derived from the aura of the heavens, and is distributed in pen and ink, which is a powerful means for monks to communicate with the heavens and call the power of nature and ghosts.
It is said that the first person to learn this method from the aura of heaven and earth and the laws of nature was Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor, who later taught them to the Queen Mother of the West, who in turn passed on to Shaohao, and Shaohao passed on to Zhuan, so it was passed down from generation to generation.
Of course, this statement is impossible to verify, and it is enough for us that it does work.
The runes contain a lot of ciphertext and patterns, and when drawing the runes, you must not only have an empty mind and concentrate on it, but also condense the breath of your cultivation on the end of the pen and draw it in the correct order of strokes.
Lack of tranquility, lack of qi, inability to do all at once, or disordered order of writing will lead to the failure of the runes. The more powerful the spell, the more ciphertext there will be, and the more complex the pattern will be.
Today, when the Taoist inheritance is cut off, it is not difficult to get an ancient rune book, but the difficulty is to find out the correct order of the strokes through countless experiments.
There are as many as twenty-six kinds of spells that Lu Xiaoling will have, most of which were taught to her by Master Lu after years of speculation and experimentation, but she can only draw fifteen kinds. She had already told me the order of the strokes of these charms, but my current bottleneck was the lack of qi, I could draw two meditation talismans at a time, and the soul talisman was more than one and two were insufficient. And those aggressive runes, although I fully understand the order of strokes, there is no way to stick to the finish.
I quickly meditated and ran for a week, and when I looked at the time, it was already noon.
Lu Xiaoling rarely sat quietly at the table, and that ladylike appearance made me feel a little excited.
Her phone rang suddenly, and as soon as it was interrupted, the rune that was about to succeed was ruined like this, and Lu Xiaoling slammed the pen in anger, and her eyebrows stood up.
"Could it be Zhang Yi?" I said hurriedly.
But Lu Xiaoling looked at her phone and was a little surprised.
"Uncle Yuan?" She said. "Looking for me? Who is it? Okay, I'll be right here! ”
"What's going on?" I asked as soon as she hung up.
"Uncle Yuan said that a monk came to the Zhouyi Research Association to find me." Lu Xiaoling was a little puzzled.
I also feel a little weird. If it is said that it is to find Master Lu or Master Cao, it is understandable, but Lu Xiaoling's name should not be famous in this industry, even if someone knows, most of them are just "Lu Lou's niece" as an incidental.
Coming for her?
"Are you going with me?" She went to get the helmet, and I hesitated and nodded.
