Chapter Eighty-Nine: Neighbors
Money can make ghosts grind, after Li Yiming gave an extra 1,000 yuan in intermediary fees, the cumbersome transfer procedures were completed within three days, and a housekeeping company was hired to clean it simply, and on the evening of the fourth day, Li Yiming bought a double bed and moved into a new house.
This is the sixth day. Li Yiming sat quietly in the study with a bowl of instant noodles, staring at the wall of the study without blinking. He's been sitting like this for two days.
"Here we are...... Half an hour later than yesterday. Li Yiming put the instant noodles on the ground, approached the wall, and carefully placed one hand on it.
"It's really no trivial matter to have anything to do with Mr. Kong, but it's such a big game?" Bai Ze's voice carried a hint of planning.
"You say, what will be on the other side?" Li Yiming gently stroked the wall.
"Whatever it is, I see you as far away as possible. This stuff scares me. ”
"You say, will it be the Holy Order? When the Battle Barrier of the Holy Order is opened, it is also isolated from the outside world. Li Yiming thought of Li Huaibei's battle enchantment.
"Fart, what Holy Order can open an enchantment so silently? Or in reality? Is the Heavenly Dao still unaware? If you look out the window, if it weren't for the comparison between the street lights and pedestrians below, I wouldn't have noticed that I was quarantined until now, and besides, you didn't notice that you were the only one in the quarantine after the quarantine? Not a single living person out there. Do you know what that means? ”
"Meaning, the scope is very small, only shrouding this room, and besides, I can be shrouded in it, most likely because I am a loophole......" Li Yiming said in a deep voice, he also thought of the same question.
"Yiming, this is open, it's not an enchantment, recall this feeling, this is a secret realm." Bai Ze's tone became more and more solemn, and even trembled a little.
Uncharted ...... One can be opened at any time and closed at any time, shrouding the secret realm of two rooms, one is his own study, and the other is opposite......
"I want to go across the street and see my neighbors." Li Yiming put down his hand on the wall, and there was a hint of strangeness in his eyes.
"You don't understand what I'm saying? It's a secret realm, and it can be artificially opened, do you know what it means to open a secret realm artificially? Your neighbor may be a being who controls the way of heaven. Bai Ze roared in Li Yiming's mind, through two days of observation, the divine beast with keen perception probably guessed the result, the divine beast instinct made him deeply afraid, this is outside the rules, this is different from the situation of Li Yiming's loophole, this is to control the secret realm, control the heavenly way.
"Mr. Kong won't be untargeted, he wants me not to have to be so troublesome, aren't you curious at all?" Li Yiming's demeanor was calm.
"Our mission now is to find someone!" Bai Ze shouted angrily, this Li Yiming is the standard non-doing, not dying, uncomfortable.
"I have a hunch that the person we are looking for is our neighbor." Li Yiming rubbed his sour neck and walked towards the door.
……
In the basement of a villa in the center of Hangzhou, Guo Xiang was naked, lying on his back on a stone platform with a unique shape, his eyes were closed, his brows were deeply wrinkled, as if he had suffered great pain in his sleep, the blood vessels above and below his body protruded, all kinds of streamers slowly wriggled under the skin, and the golden runes painted on the surface flickered and flickered, flashing with a strange light.
There are also three people around the stone platform, two standing and one kneeling, two women and one man.
"How's it going?" The middle-aged man standing on the edge of the stone platform slowly spoke, and the matching pure white tunic with arrogant eyes and cold tone tried his best to highlight his superior temperament.
"Bing Shuai, you see, the rune flow is normal, it seems that we are in the right direction, but the progress is very slow." The woman standing on the side spoke cautiously, and after noticing that Bing Shuai didn't take a step closer, she continued: "Since this kid was in his mother's womb, we have been preparing, and a few months ago, we officially launched the formation to lead the Heavenly Dao cause and effect into the body, so far, his life should be contaminated with at least three secret realm cause and effect, but now, the cause and effect line on his body is less than three percent, and at this progress, it will be at least two years before the standard of ascending to Sendai." ”
"Two years ......" Bing Shuai narrowed his eyes and whispered softly.
"I've been waiting for decades, and two years isn't a long time, but I'm worried about ......," the bewitching woman said hesitantly.
"Are you worried that Tianyan won't be able to hold on?" Bing Shuai's cold gaze fell on the woman with long hair covering her face who had been kneeling in front of the stone platform, and there was a trace of unbearability in her eyes.
"Triggering the cause and effect of the Heavenly Dao, forcibly changing the life grid, this is a deceptive act, although there is a formation to help, but as the formation of the dominant Tianyan, the body is extremely burdened, if it is just this kid alone, Tianyan should be able to insist, but our plan is ......"
"Bullying the ......," Bing Shuai muttered, turning his gaze to the dark corners, thirty years ago, a bold plan arose in his mind: to artificially create a protector. He and his partners made many attempts to do this, but all failed, and just as they were about to give up, they unexpectedly met Tianyan, a girl who was born blind but could see the cause and effect of fate, so a series of plans were launched again......
Artificial...... Batch...... If the plan succeeds, then he will replace the Heavenly Dao and truly control everything in the world.
"We have come to this point, and we can't stop succeeding, otherwise, everyone's 30 years of hard work and 30 years of persistence will be in vain. The current situation is much better than our previous plans, let Tianyan pay attention to rest, Shadow, you have to work hard during this time, keep an eye on this kid, don't make any mistakes. Bing Shuai turned his head to look at the bewitching woman, with a hint of tenderness in his eyes.
"Yes." Shadow Phantom nodded respectfully, a little dodging Bing Shuai's gaze, but with a hint of joy in fear.
DiDi ...... There was a faint soft vibration, the phone in Shadow Phantom's hand flickered, Shadow Phantom glanced at the screen, took two steps back, picked up the phone quietly, and talked quietly with a frown.
"What's wrong?" Bing Shuai noticed the expression of the shadow ghost, and he couldn't help but ask.
"The housekeeper's phone, there is a girl on it, looking for Guo Xiang, it should be his woman." Shadow Phantom put down the phone and answered truthfully.
"This kid, like his father, is romantic. Hurry up and call someone to send it away. The corners of Bingshuai's eyes showed playful abuse, and he waved his hand helplessly.
"I've already told the housekeeper." Bing Mei put away the phone and stood aside with a smile.
"Wait!" Tianmai, who had been focusing on the formation, suddenly raised his head, and the long hair that covered his face spread out from both sides of his cheeks, revealing a delicate and delicate face, with fair skin and a small nose, strange eyes, but no pupils, only the whites of the eyes, and the empty eyeballs were flowing with strange light.
"What's wrong?" Ice Shuai and Shadow Phantom spoke at the same time.
"There's something wrong with this girl...... "Tianyan's hollow eyes stared at the ceiling, as if he could see through the layers of barriers.
……
The afternoon sun was scorching, and the road was in a hurry, and no one noticed that on the steps at the entrance of the mall, a raunchy man was sitting. Occasionally, someone notices, but they also avoid it with a frown and disgust.
The man had a swarthy face and messy hair, even if it wasn't dirty, but the irregular arrangement of the man couldn't help but feel sloppy, a gray shirt draped haphazardly over his shoulders, the collar was open, revealing his lean torso, thick leg hair poking out of his brown shorts, and his inferior plastic slippers smacked rhythmically on the floor.
The man casually pulled the worn-out woven bag at his feet, took out a crumpled cigarette from his arms, lit it leisurely, took a deep breath, and gently fell to the large advertising screen on the opposite street, which played the movie promotional film that was being screened: "Three Dozen White Bone Spirits".
The editing effect of the promotional film is very good, the white bone spirit is enchanting and charming, sexy and charming, Sun Wukong is heroic and powerful, domineering, the fight scenes are gorgeous, the narrative scenes are sensational, and modern film and television technology shows the classical mythology to the fullest.
The man in front of the woven bag, the focused eyes are gradually blurred, the figure squatting at the door of the mall is like a sculpture, the cigarette has burned to the fingertips, the man is unaware, the scattered soot falls on the surface of the foot, with the foot wind brought by the pedestrian, slowly dispersed.
"If you fix your heart, the ape will be Wukong, and if you tie up your horse, you will turn into a dragon, and you will be greedy / lustful and murderous, and the mystic law is hidden in the false way. Fake ...... It's all fake. The man muttered to himself, smiled wryly, withdrew his gaze, took out a piece of shredded paper from his pocket, wrapped the extinguished cigarette butt in his hand, and then took out a rag and carefully wiped the cigarette ash scattered on the ground.
A young man in a suit and leather shoes passed in front of him, inadvertently glanced at the man squatting on the side of the road, frowned slightly, and drank the Coke in his hand in one gulp. Shaking the empty bottle to the side of the trash can, the moment he reached out to drop the bottle, he seemed to be aware of it, and looked back at the man on the ground, and at the same time noticed the worn-out woven bag.
The young man took back the empty bottle that he was about to discard, wiped it on the shell with his hand, carefully tightened the cap, walked quietly to the man's side, bent down, and placed the empty bottle beside the woven bag in a dignified manner.
The man looked up in astonishment, met the young man's slightly shy gaze, smiled softly, nodded slightly, said thank you gently, and casually put the empty bottle into the woven bag.
The young man's face also smiled, nodded in response, and walked away quickly.
The sky shook with a black shadow, and a glass billboard slipped diagonally, refracting a dazzling luster in the sunlight, and smashed down on the head of the departing youth, inferring from the speed and angle of the fall, it seemed that the youth was about to be split in half. The pedestrians behind him had closed their eyes screaming, but the young man had no notice, and he still had a shy smile on his face.
The two-meter-long and wide glass trembled above the young man's head, and the direction of its fall was strangely fine-tuned, and it smashed on the ground by grabbing the young man's shoulder, making an earth-shattering sound and shattering.
The crowd was in a commotion, all kinds of exclamations came and went, the young man stood stunned in place, his neck curled and stared, the broken glass all over the ground witnessed the rest of his life, he looked up blankly, looked at the advertising rack above his head that was broken due to disrepair, and a sense of happiness arose.
Passers-by took out their mobile phones, took pictures, called the police, and broke the news. Many people lamented the great life of young people, and some people thanked the gods and Buddhas of the heavens, but as before, no one noticed that at the end of the street, a lonely figure left, slippers crackled, and the woven bag in his hand swayed from side to side.
Help, in many cases, is not necessarily giving, but an attitude, and a small bit of kindness can often have unexpected effects on life.
