Chapter Twenty-Six: The Secret
"It's not that it won't, but it definitely will!" Master Cao shook his head and said. "It's a good thing you didn't say yes!"
I thought that the first thing he did when he saw us was to scold us, in fact, it seemed that he was also prepared for this, but after hearing about Dai Baichuan's incident, his attention was immediately attracted.
"Really?" Lu Xiaoling asked innocently.
The two of us quietly exchanged glances and decided to keep the conversation going until he completely forgot to get angry at us.
"How could it not!" Master Cao said.
He sat down on the sofa, and Lu Xiaoling immediately handed him a cup of tea.
His eyes widened, and he looked like he was about to curse, and I hurriedly asked, "Master Cao, do you know this Dai Baichuan?" ”
"I don't know him, but I know him, and he should know me. So I tried to make a phone call to him and ask him to help release you. Master Cao replied. He is the head of the Yuanshan Branch of the Special Cases Management Bureau of the Ministry of Police, and when Lu Lou and I first started cultivating, we were not less cleaned up by their gang! ”
"Special Cases Administration?"
"It used to be called the Anti-Feudal Superstition Administration, and since decades ago, this place has been called the Hades Hall by all the monks."
Master Cao was a little emotional, and we hurriedly followed his topic to ask, so that his temper as a good teacher could be fully utilized.
The Anti-Feudal Superstition Administration was born within the police system with the enactment of the Anti-Feudal Superstition Act, and a few decades ago it was even more established than the Imperial Homeland Security Investigation Agency, and was ready to mobilize the military.
There were usually only two types of candidates selected for the system.
The first are fanatical patriots, who believe that the presence of all the monks and sorcerers has seriously hindered the country's path to modernity and science, and has become a monster that binds the ancient country and entangles it in the smell of decay.
The second group of people are outright speculators, who see this as an opportunity to change their class and make a fortune. The monk class has always held a high position in the long history of the ancient empire of Great Xia, and many monks with high magic power are even worshipped as living gods and have a large number of followers. The famous sects have accumulated countless lands and wealth over the long years, and among other things, almost every monk has collected many artifacts handed down from ancient times, and the value of these things is immeasurable.
But there are still a small number of people, who themselves are outcasts in some sects, or who have formed enmity with a certain sect for some reason, and these people have become the absolute main force in the later extermination of Buddhism, and even directly act as thugs. Sadly, when almost all the sects were destroyed, they were also eliminated as a factor of instability.
Ironically, in a sense, His Majesty the Emperor was absolutely right in choosing to eradicate Buddhism, and a large amount of land, resources, and people were liberated, and the antiques looted from the major sects were exchanged for countless machines and emerging technologies, and in exchange for the tuition fees for international students to study in Europe. The ultra-conservative forces in the House of Representatives were swept away, and reform and opening up finally became the mainstream thinking of this ancient country, and helped it quickly re-emerge as one of the most powerful countries in the world.
However, there are pros and cons to everything, and decades after the promulgation of the Anti-Feudal Superstition Law, the bloated and large establishment and transcendent power of the Special Cases Administration have also made it a thorn in the side of many people, and even considered a new threat to the empire, which has gradually been suppressed and dismembered. And their internal suppression of monks and aliens made it impossible for them to cultivate newcomers who could suppress monsters as strongly as those previous sects. Those demons and monsters that had once disappeared under the suppression of the sect gradually emerged, and foreign cultivator forces also began to try to muddy the waters.
There are many things that are not worth mentioning before, but they have serious consequences.
It is in this context that the Anti-Feudal Superstition Administration Bureau was reorganized into the Special Cases Administration, and the enforcement of the Anti-Feudal Superstition Law is much less than before, and a new generation of practitioners such as Master Lu and Master Cao finally have the opportunity to grow up gradually.
"Then if that's the case, they should be the most powerful organization of monks?" Lu Xiaoling has forgotten our original purpose in asking these questions. "Those sects' classics should have been confiscated a lot, right? If you can grow up, then the monks in the national context ......"
"Theoretically, this should be, but strangely enough, the rulers of all dynasties have struggled to build their own ranks of monks. They can find the best seedlings and train them with the best theories and the greatest resources, but they can train many monks with a good foundation, but they can't train real masters. Master Cao said with some pride. It's not that Lao Cao boasted, in the first ten years, they simply beat us like dogs, but after another ten years, most of them will still be like birds, but we are already different. ”
"Then Dai Baichuan wooed us?"
"It's probably because they're doing something wrong again, don't just agree." Master Cao said.
Although I felt that Master Cao might have a natural hostility towards the government as a cultivator, so much so that he had a strong prejudice against Dai Baichuan and his people, after saying this, I no longer had the idea of joining that organization.
Master Cao didn't forget to scold us in the end, but maybe it was because he had already sprinkled all his anger on Dai Baichuan and those people before, and his attitude was not very intense.
We called the number they had left and made an appointment with the time and place, it was still the two policemen, and they looked at Master Cao cautiously and carefully took the three urns out of the car.
"Mr. Cao Daoping, I didn't expect you to come in person." One of them said.
Master Cao ignored them, and directly picked up the three urns and studied them carefully.
"There shouldn't be any problems." He nodded and said, then took out two talismans, burned them to ashes and handed them to Lu Xiaoling.
"You can find a way to get those two girls to take it, and we'll go back to Yuanshan University in the evening."
I really wanted to know what method Lu Xiaoling would use to get Li Li and Liu Xiao to drink the talisman ashes, but Master Cao took me to do the preparations.
"Master Cao, I'm ......" After Lu Xiaoling left, I finally couldn't hold back a little, whether it was letting Lu Xiaoling get in touch with these things, losing the book, or letting things develop to this point, there was no excuse for me.
Master Cao shook his head and didn't let me continue.
We arrived at Yuanshan University at about eleven o'clock, and Master Cao asked me to take him to the fire during the day, where there were several policemen guarding to keep the idlers from approaching. Master Cao burned a talisman to make sure that there were no more evil things left, so he took me to the vicinity of Lu Xiaoling's dormitory.
"Is it done?" I took out the phone and called Lu Xiaoling.
"Well, you're already there?" Lu Xiaoling said. "I'll come down right away."
It's not the first time I've seen Master Cao's altar, and I've seen even more exotic exercises, so there's nothing to say.
He separated the two urns, and saw two shadows looming in front of us, but they didn't look alive, like two puppets.
Master Cao introduced them into a talisman and then handed it to Lu Xiaoling.
"It's okay to stick them on their heads separately, these two soul talismans will take more than an hour to take effect, you work hard, don't do anything wrong with staying by the side."
Lu Xiaoling nodded and went, we meditated and rested on the grass below, and about two hours later, Lu Xiaoling excitedly jumped out of the window on the second floor.
"Looks like it worked!" She said to us.
"Next ......"
"Let's take a good look at this ghost." Master Cao said.
