Chapter 16: The First Arrival in Ice City

However, Gu Junming's phone call was obviously wishful thinking.

Yu Chunbing, who was in a state of emotional injury, didn't even want to see Luo Xiaonan and Ji Le'er, who had come over to accompany her, let alone Gu Junming, who would give her a headache when she heard the voice.

The call didn't go through at all.

Gu Junming, who was infatuated, was not disappointed.

Yong Bowen also ignored Gu Junming and contacted Liang Tingting.

Liang Tingting and Lu Xiangbei are both Yu Chengshi's subordinates, and when they went to Japan, because of their relationship, Yu Chengshi brought both of them with them. Usually, there is no need for the two of them to go out at the same time, according to the consistent arrangement, Lu Xiangbei has always been in charge of overseas operations, and Liang Tingting is in charge of domestic operations.

This time, Liang Tingting brought six people with her in the former Spring City, but they were all mages of the Dongting Sect.

Dongting Sect is a local sect in Jilin that only emerged in the late Qing Dynasty. When the Holy See and the Wizards' Guild invaded, wantonly killing and poking Chinese magicians, those local mages in Jilin who had no way to send suffered heavy casualties, in order to protect themselves, they organized associations, spontaneously resisted the invasion, and the members were full of tricks, there were witches and gods who jumped the gods, there were natural psychic spirit children and saints, there were pilgrims who raised immortals, and there were gentlemen who set up stalls to tell fortunes, basically low-level mages at the bottom, and they were also begging for food among ordinary people on weekdays, and the really rich and powerful people also disdained to invite. Probably just like buying things today, rich and powerful people naturally want to use international famous brands, but ordinary people usually use copycats.

Because there are no powerful figures in the sect who can stand on the stage, neither the Tongxin Society nor the Grand Alliance have any interest in this kind of small sect that is almost rotten on the street, that is, they do not win over or attack, and let him fend for himself. However, this Eastern Courtyard Sect has a backbone, and since the establishment of the Church, it has been defending its hometown, and has waged an indomitable struggle against the European invasion coalition forces and the Japanese Shingon sect and Onmyoji who invaded China.

In the anti-Japanese years, this Dongting taught a strange person, called Liang Zhuzi, after integrating those spells that were not on the stage, he created a unique thaumaturgy, called the big grab, although the name is rustic, but the power is really not small. Liang Zhuzi ascended to the position of sect leader, revised the canons, and trained the congregation, and since then the Dongting Sect has developed from the initial loose alliance to a well-organized and well-targeted sect. Although it is called the Dongting Sect, the beliefs of the sect members are varied, so the outside world also calls them the Dongting Sect.

After years of development, by the time of liberation three years ago, the power of the Dongting Sect had expanded to the entire three eastern provinces, and many of the young people in the sect had veterans of the four fields. The head of the sect, Liang Zhuzi, was even commended by the Red Dynasty for his meritorious service in organizing the congregation, and was invited to participate in the ceremony during the founding ceremony. With such a layered relationship, in the tide of the movement to crack down on the reactionary sects in the early years of the Red Dynasty, the Dongting Sect was not impacted, but under the strict orders of the pillars of the beams, they all reined in and did not use spells. Now the old sect leader Liang Zhuzi is still alive and well, living in the countryside of Jilin, which is the old qualification of the local government to send leaders to visit every New Year.

The current sect leader Liang Tingting is Liang Zhuzi's great-granddaughter.

Compared with the Maoshan faction of Yu Chengshi and the Taiping Dao of Yong Bowen, which were only moved to the northeast after the Red Dynasty was set for various reasons such as refuge, the Dongting Sect is the real native of the land, and the relationship in the three eastern provinces is intertwined.

After the group converges at the entrance of the expressway, they get on the highway and run to the ice city.

In the evening, arrive at the ice city.

Zhao Xuan, chairman of the Chuncheng Mage Association, had already received a notice in advance and personally led people to greet him at the exit of the highway.

In fact, strictly speaking, Zhao Xuan is still Yong Bowen's subordinate, because she is the manager of the Bingcheng branch of Netlink Express.

Yong Bowen is also the first time to meet the only female president in the Northeast. On the way, according to Liang Tingting, Chairman Zhao is now six years Chinese New Year's Eve old, still single and unmarried, born in shamanism, and is also a native of Northeast China. Her father is Zhao Guodong, now the chairman of the Heilongjiang Provincial Mage Association, and the head of shamanism.

When he saw this Chairman Zhao, Yong Bowen was taken aback.

Although she is thirty-six years old, Zhao Xuan still looks like she is eighteen or nineteen years old, standing with Aliyun and Liang Tingting, she definitely looks younger than Aliyun and Liang Tingting, and she is probably a little older than Mei Yaxuan.

This Chairman Zhao is only 1.6 meters tall, petite and delicate, with short and lean hair, wearing a women's suit, although he is shorter, he looks extremely shrewd and capable.

The intersection is not the place to talk, the two sides briefly made a cold announcement, and after introducing each other, they got on the bus and went to the city.

Zhao Xuan has arranged the hotel where everyone stays, just next to the headquarters of the Bingcheng Mage Association, Songtao Garden, which is a hotel opened by the Heilongjiang Provincial Mage Association, the conditions are needless to say, and the more convenient place is that the fire of the network express Bingcheng branch is opposite the hotel, sitting in the room, you can see the blackened network express ice city branch building through the window, and it is very convenient to go to the scene to investigate.

Liang Tingting is a person with an anxious personality, and when she arrived at the hotel, she rested a little, and didn't even eat dinner, so she proposed to go to the scene immediately to investigate.

Everyone is a mage, so it doesn't matter if you don't eat one or two meals.

Zhao Xuan also knew the Yan zhòng nature of the loss of the ghost converter - her father Zhao Guodong was Yu Chengshi's brother, he could be regarded as a hardcore ally, and he was one of the few people who knew the true role of the ghost converter, so she also knew it - and she didn't persuade much at the moment, that is, she personally led everyone to the network express branch building.

This building is only six floors, belongs to the early old-fashioned real estate, was originally the former site of the provincial supply and marketing cooperative, after the relocation of the supply and marketing cooperative, this building was bought by the Bingcheng Mage Association, the first to do some foreign trade business with the Russian side, but the benefits are not good, soon stopped, has been idle, until the opening of the network express, before re-opening. For the sake of secrecy, Zhao Xuan arranged for someone to dig a layer underground, and the ghost converter was placed on the basement floor.

The fire started in the early hours of the morning from the pantry on the first floor and quickly spread to the entire floor. At that time, he had not yet gone to work, and the doorman on duty fled the building after calling the police in time. The fire brigade soon arrived, but the fire was out of control, and by the time it was extinguished, the entire building had already been burned, and even the underground floor could not escape, and it was burned to the ground. The first thing the Mage Guild personnel did when they entered the building after the fire was extinguished was to go to the basement level. Not only are there ghost converters there, but there are also two mages on duty! It was only then that they realized that the Ghost Converter and the two mages on duty were gone.

I'm a little sleepy dividing line**********************

A magistrate asked me if I was going to Russia, and I replied that the next 300,000 words were expected to be domestic, well, that's it.

Thanks to the handsome pig brother for his support.
