Chapter 017: Rejection
Peel off the sealing film and open the lid of the box, revealing a red discount card that looks like a ghost drawing, a 250ml bottle of Coque, and a note.
The five new humans in the field had strange expressions: "Just bought a can of Cola?" ”
Hong Ye opened the note, and a line of regular font was printed on it, "Ice cream tastes good, this is what this meow invited you back to - Meow Xiaodong." ”
There was also a paw print that seemed to be hand-painted in the lower right corner of the note, and Hong Ye stared at it and shook his head, and a smile couldn't help but climb up the corner of his mouth.
"This little girl no longer calls herself 'everyone' and 'meows'."
However, this smile that was not yet fully formed quickly froze on his face: "I was talking about giving it away, not signing for it myself!" ”
I couldn't figure out whether Meow Xiaodong really saw something, or just wanted to cheat him, Hong Ye, who was stared at by several new humans with law enforcement powers, didn't have time to be suspicious on this point, so he immediately opened the next box.
The box is emerald green throughout, and the packaging wrapped with rattan-like delicate patterns looks like it was made by the elves, and this style is their appearance patent.
In the middle of the pack is a layer of crystal clear gel inlaid with three walnut-sized tree species, along with a matching pheromone spray, electrical adapters, and simple written instructions.
Seeing these three tree species with intricate patterns on their surfaces, Hong Zhong opened his mouth and asked uncertainly, "Tree house?" ”
Hong Ye nodded, affirming his nonsense.
As a new human from the elven race, Hong Zhong could easily recognize the origin of these things, and he had planted a similar tree with his own hands forty years ago.
But where is that now? Old Human Customs Sanctuary! An old human being, but holding the seeds of a high-grade tree house that requires the symbiosis of three tree species to grow, what is the reason?
It's not that he's discriminating against the old humans, but with the law enforcement team's roughly four times the federal average, this set of trees would cost him at least five years of savings. And Hong Ye said that he didn't implant a sympathetic module, so where did he get the money? Humans without sympathetic modules are simply useless in modern production!
If the Elven Tree House, which is equivalent to his five years of Hong Zhong's savings, is not too amazing, or if the actual content cannot be accurately judged from the appearance alone, and those seeds may actually be just ordinary goods, then the next box containing a full twelve hacking god bars is real money.
The highest-end civilian memory module, which is so solid that it can be used as currency circulation, is commonly known as gold bar. Such twelve roots are worth Hong Zhong's savings for more than 20 years, and for people like Lu Qian who can't save money, they can't be measured by the concept of savings.
In short, this old human is evil! There must be a ghost in him, and the new humans present think so in their hearts.
However, having money is not a crime, if Hong Ye himself does not say it, Hong Zhong and the others have no right to forcibly question him, unless they have enough evidence to file a case in advance.
However, Li Dapeng thought that he knew something inside, and at this time he whispered to Lu Qian and Le Meng next to him: "Little Master Hong Ye is different from other old humans, he is still in school, and he is ready to leave Emei District and enter the mainstream society when he is twenty years old. My Xiaopeng and he are classmates, so they are more familiar, and he also came to my house as a guest. ”
Although the two of them couldn't understand it for a while, they still showed a hint of understanding, and they didn't know what they had made up for Hong Ye's shopping methods and sources of funds. But at least, they had a little more recognition in the eyes they looked at Hong Ye.
Hong Ye's abandonment of the identity of the old human and his choice to join them shows that there is not much fundamental difference in their worldview and values. Hong Ye agrees with their new human way of life, and of course they welcome Hong Ye to join them, and thinks: "Young man, you are very discerning, and you know how to abandon darkness and turn to light." ”
So when a teammate on the other side of the Northeast Squadron was responsible for deploying and controlling Lu Qian that another even bigger express drone was trying to pass the customs, Lu Qian asked them to let them go first, and she was here to take care of it.
……
Because he knew how crazy he was last night, he was afraid that he would not be able to finish the follow-up cooking in a while, so Hong Ye simply entrusted Wang Xiancheng and Hong Zhong to help sign the package after that, and verbally authorized them to check it, while he continued to take Li Dapeng and the three of them to see the master.
Anyway, it seems that Wang Xiancheng and the others want to check all these items that entered the territory of Huazang Temple during the sensitive period. Although Hong Ye has the right to refuse the inspection, correspondingly, they also have the right to temporarily prevent the express from entering the territory of Emei District, and now this situation is actually convenient for Hong Ye.
The abbot's courtyard is just a simple garden, and the deepest half-person-high staircase is the abbot's pavilion, and the internal space is only one zhang square according to the ancient system. Hong Ye's master, Venerable Shanren, was sitting on the futon in front of the Buddha hall at the moment, closing his eyes and meditating.
Hong Ye motioned for the three of them to stay at the bottom of the stairs, and he stepped into the hall, bowed with his palms together, and made a greeting to Shanren. Shanren opened his eyes, turned around, and waited for Hongye Chen to report what was going on, and didn't seem to see the three people standing under the steps outside the door at all.
Hong Ye: "Master, you know Director Li among the three donors outside the door, in addition, the male donor is the band leader of the Dafo City Security Bureau, and the female donor is a member of the cross-border law enforcement team, surnamed Lu." They came this time because an evil spirit had infiltrated the temple and hoped that we would cooperate with them in their search and arrest. ”
After Hong Ye finished the report, when he saw the master bowing his head slightly, he turned to the door and said, "Three donors, Master, please come in for a while." ”
As the most respected mage in Emei District, Shanren is the spiritual leader of the monks, nuns and lay people in the vicinity.
If Li Dapeng has a question to deal with about the affairs of the old human race, many times he will inevitably have to deal with Shanren, and the two sides can be regarded as very familiar. When he heard the invitation, he walked into the Abbot's Pavilion with Lu Qian Lemeng, who had encountered such a situation for the first time.
Hong Ye stood on the side, while Shanren held the rosary in his left hand, raised his right palm and bowed to the three of them briefly, and then said: "I have learned the purpose of the three donors here, since it is to catch the evil ghosts, there is something that needs to be cooperated, and the temple should also do its best. ”
Le Meng and Lu Qian had never dealt with an old human like Shanren, and without saying a word at this time, Li Dapeng told Venerable Shanren about their request: "The evil ghost is lurking in the temple and needs to replenish energy, we hope that the mages can temporarily evacuate the Emei area, so that we can cut off the energy here and check carefully." ”
Shanren frowned, and asked if the evil ghosts were a great threat to them, but Li Dapeng could only tell the truth according to the procedure: "It's not much of a threat, but if the mages are here, the search will be a lot more inconvenient." ”
Hearing this, Shanren rejected the request to evacuate as expected by Hongye. In fact, it is not difficult for them to evacuate from the blockade circle, as long as they are still in Emei District, but they will not be able to settle down in this wilderness for a while.
And if you enter the outside world, under the influence of the strange things of the new humans, it is said that multiple worlds overlap, which is a karmic obstacle that should be avoided as much as possible for monks who seek transcendence.
If his life is indeed in danger, then Shanren can still consider leading the crowd to evacuate. After all, he doesn't want to live forever in flesh, and he believes that his soul will return after death, which doesn't mean that he is stunned, but now it's just to provide these new humans with a little convenience in their tasks, but he is unwilling to do it.
The world is illusory, the aggregates are empty, a lost evil ghost, what if you let him go?
At the end of the day, the two sides are too far apart in their perceptions, and each side sees what the other considers important as meaningless delusions.
