Chapter Seventy-Four: The Finale
It wasn't until noon the next day that Dai Baichuan came to let us go, but before leaving, he gave us a booklet.
"Measures for the Administration of Persons with Exceptions in the Great Xia Empire" (Draft)
"This is an internal document of the Special Cases Administration, and it is still being discussed, but there should be no fundamental revisions, you can take it back and look at it, and don't spread it." Dai Baichuan said. "The top brass has decided to repeal the Anti-Feudal Superstition Law next year and to regulate monks and other special groups with a system that is more in line with the current social development. This incident is a marginal ball, and we have decided not to pursue it after research, but your future behavior must comply with the provisions of the management measures! ”
I nodded in thanks, while Lu Xiaoling pursed her lips.
"Of course, if you are willing to join the Special Cases Administration, we welcome you as always." Dai Baichuan said. "You should also see from Ma Bin that we have the best resources here, a fairly liberal system and full freedom of action, as long as we abide by a few basic principles."
Lu Xiaoling's expression became more and more wrong, and I hurriedly said, "Director Dai, we will definitely consider it seriously!" He hurriedly pulled her away.
"You can't use any magic or spell when you're surrounded by a large number of onlookers...... Funny! Lu Xiaoling snorted and threw the pamphlet Dai Baichuan gave us on the table.
I took a serious look at it.
Twenty-one and ninety-four paragraphs cover almost the daily life of the monks.
To sum it up simply, the empire no longer considers you people to be illegal from the legal level, but you must cooperate with the work of the government, and you can no longer do whatever you want like in ancient times, and you must act within a strict framework.
And the basic principle of this framework is that ordinary people can't know that there are really ghosts and spells in this world, and they can't use these supernatural powers to have a significant impact on this world.
To put it simply, it is no problem for you to tell fortunes and see feng shui to exorcise evil spirits, but you can't really let your family members see the soul, and you can only pass on the message through other means. And the spells used in front of ordinary people must also be within the scope of being able to be explained by blindfolding, as for such things as changing feng shui against the sky, it is prohibited.
There are also things that are forbidden such as fighting between monks and opening the mountain gate to recruit disciples, but there is no such restriction for liars without mana.
The methods used by the evil ways to make money are listed as absolutely forbidden items, and if discovered, they will be ruthlessly suppressed by the Special Cases Administration and the powerful agencies of the Empire, and there is no excuse to talk about.
This is actually not too restrictive for monks like us, and we don't do that anyway, but for people like Huang Qihu and Su Cha, it is probably difficult not to break the law.
Huang Qihu's two apprentices were locked up, probably because of this consideration.
"Now those swaggers are happy, and with a ban, it will be even more difficult for them to goof."
"Maybe the empire itself wants more liars to come out and muddy things." I guessed.
Personally, it's hard for me to understand this kind of practice, but it seems to be a common practice in all countries around the world, perhaps because of the fear that the news of the real existence of the ghost world will shake the existing social stability, or that it will have a major impact on the existing scientific system.
Thinking about my own life in the past, they did a really good job.
"Well, then, it's almost time for me to leave." Huang Dou carefully put away his own book, and then stood up.
"What?" Lu Xiaoling was surprised, and I asked in surprise.
"Now that this is over, of course I should leave." Huang Dou said. "Didn't I tell you that I want to improve my cultivation through travels?"
"But ......" Lu Xiaoling was a little frustrated, but she really had no reason to let Huang Dou stay.
"Let's play for a few days before we go!" I said incorrectly.
"Nope." Huang Dou shook his head. "That Dai Baichuan stared at me all day and wanted me to join, I had to leave quickly."
Perhaps because he felt that the Divine Fighting Technique was quick and powerful, and it was more suitable for promotion in a department like the Special Case Administration Bureau than the Taoist Technique, Dai Baichuan entangled Huang Qihu after knowing that Huang Dou had killed him, and he was a hundred times more enthusiastic than when he first wooed us.
"Actually, you can also think about it......" I said casually, and Lu Xiaoling immediately glared at me fiercely.
"They're just trying to plot your exercises!" She said to Huang Dou.
Huang Dou nodded.
"I'm probably going to change the phone." He said. "But I've written down your phone numbers, and I'll let you know when I have a new number."
Lu Xiaoling's expression was a little reluctant, and I immediately stood between the two of them and shook his hand vigorously.
"Then we won't send you, go all the way!"
"Thank you." Huang Dou looked at me with a smile, as if he understood the true meaning of my words.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Sun Yang, and I'm looking forward to meeting you next time." He shook my hand firmly and said to me meaningfully.
It made me feel like this guy wasn't going to be a gay, was he?
"Goodbye, Lu Xiaoling!" He waved his hand and walked away in style.
Lu Xiaoling thought he would contact us with a new number soon, but months passed, and there was no news from him.
It's like this person came to see us, helped us solve a tough problem, and then just disappeared.
Lu Xiaoling became a little lost, and I couldn't bear it, so I asked Master Cao to help contact Huang Dou's master, but the strange thing was that all the people in their faction were missing.
Ma Bin did not find any information about him through the personal information database of the police system, and Huang Dou must not be his real name, but because he did not know more information about him, there was no way to investigate further.
It's as if he never existed.
This made Lu Xiaoling completely forget about the Lu family, but I thought of a lot of ways, and finally got Lu Suhe's birthday.
"The ghost road is misty, the soul is harmonious, the vast nine secluded, where are the three souls......"
As I gently recited the incantation, Rusuhe's soul appeared in front of me.
"What do you want to pull me here from Huangquan Road?" His expression was still as serious, and nothing had changed since he died.
"I don't want anything." I told him that I told him everything that happened to Lu Xingming and Lu Xinghua, and then asked him, "What do you think should be done?" ”
Lu Su and Jiujiu did not answer.
On the one hand, it is a great rebellion to kill himself and plot his property, but on the other hand, it is his only son, and it is also the hope for the survival of the Suhe Group he founded.
Huang Dou said that after people die and become ghosts, they will completely change, and they can no longer be judged by human thinking, but I think that should be the consequence of dying like Lu Xiuyao but not being able to reincarnate for a long time.
Rusu and such a ghost who died not long ago should still have their own hearts.
"How's the company doing now?" He asked slowly.
"The stock price has plummeted, and many scandals have broken out in a row." I told him. "The only good news is that the fire in the Lu family's mansion has received 120 million in compensation."
There was another long silence.
"Can I go see them?" He asked suddenly.
"Please." With a thought, I took away all the talismans around him.
He looked at me, and suddenly disappeared.
After about three hours, he finally returned.
"Everything is done?" I asked.
"Thank you." He said to me. "Thank you!"
I sent him back to Lethe and didn't tell anyone about it.
In the afternoon of the next day, Lu Xiaoling suddenly called me: "Watch the news!" The front page of the Far Mountain Evening News! ”
"I see it." I said to her.
"Well deserved!" Lu Xiaoling said.
Lu Xingming's body was found near the Suhe Building, suspected of falling from the building, and the police have intervened in the investigation. Because of the many unfavorable news of Suhe Group in recent days, the police initially suspected that it was a suicide.
Because of the successive accidental deaths of family members Lu Suhe, Lu Xingming and Lu Xinghua, Suhe Paper's stock plummeted again and has been forcibly delisted. Zheng Yihong, deputy general manager of Suhe Paper, a former subsidiary of the group, was appointed to serve as the chairman of the board of directors in the face of danger, which was also the first time in the history of Suhe Group that a non-family member served as the company's top decision-maker. Zheng Yihong said that he felt a great responsibility and would do his best to get Suhe Group out of the predicament and do his best to ensure the rights and interests of shareholders......
"What is this Zheng Yihong doing?" Lu Xiaoling's voice asked on the other side of the phone.
"I don't know." I replied.
Maybe the old man's chosen savior?
In just three hours, he could not think of what he could do, and he did not want to think deeply.
"Do you know anything?" Lu Xiaoling suddenly asked, a woman's sixth sense is really terrifying.
"How is that possible!" I categorically deny it.
In the newspaper, behind Zheng Yihong in the photo, you can vaguely see the frightened and sad faces of Lu Yunwen and Lu Yunhong.
Don't let the tragedy happen again. I said softly to them.
