Chapter 177: The Eve of the Eclipse
At this time, it was already early in the morning, and the sunlight outside the window shone in, and I closed my eyes in the rising sun, silently recalling the complex characters in "Nine Characters Urn" in my mind.
These nine complex characters represent the deepest heritage of the designer of the banknote. Therefore, the powerful designer of the dark banknote is actually derived under the guidance of these nine characters. Up to now, I have barely mastered the pronunciation and use of the three characters under normal circumstances.
But now, in this refreshed and refined Taoist situation, the fourth character has always flickered rapidly in my mind, and it seems that there is a ray of light drawing such a character along that complicated trajectory. At the same time, as if a ghost had sent me to God, I blurted out a syllable.
Fantasy!!!
As soon as I spoke, I immediately felt the spiritual power in my body drumming, as if it was connected to an unknown void depth, and in the surrounding heaven and earth void, some forces and beings in unknown and hidden places produced a magical sense.
It seems that if I cast more spells, I can summon them to my side and fight for me!
This is similar to the Divine Fighting Technique, the Maoshan Technique, this is the summoning technique of the designer of the dark banknote! You can invite the gods and spirits of the four directions, and make some kind of contract with them for your own use. For example, when I was fighting against Jiang Xuan's group of demons in Lianghe Town, I used the magic money given to me by my master to summon the Liuding Liujia God in the thick fog, which should also belong to an application of this "phantom" word.
Whew.
The spiritual power of my whole body was stirred, causing the surrounding void to appear like traces of water waves. Take another deep breath. His hands hung down slightly, and then he slowly opened his eyes.
My spiritual powers. My Dark Money Technique has also gone up to a higher level at this moment. Now I'm here. Even if you don't work hard, if you don't borrow the power of those two weird and terrifying powerful beings in your body, you can at least fight with Qin Yu, right? Although there may be some slight gaps compared to Lu Tianming.
Feeling the powerful aura emanating from outside the ner, the surging spiritual power, and the surging martial arts qi and blood in my body, I felt more comfortable than ever.
The recovery of strength, and further refinement, is to be able to make people feel so happy!
Maybe I didn't even realize my power in Taoism. It's also getting more and more desired. In my subconscious, I already have this kind of cognition. That is, only with great power can you maintain justice and protect those you want to protect.
So...... I have to be strong!
Mr. Hong came over and looked around me with admiring eyes, and then couldn't help but reach out and pat me on the shoulder: "Not bad, not bad!" It was a big surprise to me. I originally thought that you would be able to absorb the medicinal properties of that hundred-year-old ginseng seven or eight times out of ten, just enough to restore your Dark Wound Healing Dao Technique to a normal level. I didn't expect you to absorb it all. And it really absorbed the power of the stars around it. Haha, it looks like you're going to have to learn a mountain vein spell in the future. ”
Maybe in Mr. Hong's heart, I am his adopted son. But the Tiangang Dao technique that does not know how to pray for the stars is a pity after all.
But for me, I was able to learn a little more Dao art. It's also a good thing.
"Thanks to Mr. Hong." I also smiled and said that I am in a good mood now.
"Hey. It's still like this. I don't know when you'll call me my father. "Mr. Hong didn't know whether he mentioned this intentionally or unintentionally, but he obviously wanted me to address him as my father-in-law. But seriously. I really can't open my mouth yet.
So the scene suddenly became a little awkward again, and the atmosphere was a little dull. My gaze was a little evasive, and I didn't know what to say.
However, Mr. Hong didn't embarrass me, waved his hand, and smiled heartily: "Let's not talk about this, let's have breakfast first." I have invited the chef of the top Michelin three-star restaurant here, Jiang Ming, you can try Western food, which is also good. ”
I had a staircase, so I nodded wildly, and then followed Mr. Hong to breakfast.
I have to say that Hong Tianjun really knows how to enjoy it. Living in such a luxurious villa in downtown Shanghai, with a variety of precious antiques and collectibles, and a private top chef...... It all shows that he must have been born into a very wealthy family. So, my background ...... Could it be that it is also some Taoist family? My parents...... What kind of person is it?
With such a question, Mr. Hong and I finished a very rich breakfast together. After eating, I quit him and told him that I wanted to go and see the old seven of the Spirit War Army, and that I wanted to stay with them and have a chat with them, and at the same time discuss the possibility of a large-scale attack on Shanghai by the vampires in two days.
Maybe it was because I felt that I would rather stay with those people in the spiritual warfare force than stay with him, and my godfather seemed a little lost. But when I said so, he naturally didn't have a good chance of speaking, so he could only nod: "Well, you can go if you want." It seems that you have cultivated some friendship in yesterday's battle. I'll let Xiaotian take you there. ”
After that, he called the doorman in the tuxedo and told him to take me to the station of the seventh group of the Spirit War Force.
After saying goodbye to Mr. Hong, I followed this doorman called Xiaotian out of Xiaobailou. Along the way, this guy didn't talk much, and his expressionless face showed a sense of maturity that didn't match his age. I felt a little bored, so I put my hands behind my head and whistled.
Mr. Hung ...... How can there be such a righteous son as you. ”
I was pulling a piece of grass from the flower bed next to the road and chewing it in my mouth, while looking around casually, the little sky, who had been dull all the way, spoke.
"Huh? So you're not dumb, you can talk. I mean, you were fine when you brought me into the house last night. Shall we stop talking in the morning? Hey. "I casually spit out the grass roots in my mouth and wiped my mouth with my sleeve. Said very casually.
Maybe it was because of my slightly ruffian behavior, he frowned: "Mr. Hong is such an elegant person. He is proficient in Xuanmen Taoism, and has studied in the West for many years. Educated in the most elite. I really don't understand how there can be a righteous son like you. I warn you, if you are a demonic person of some evil organization who deliberately lurks around Mr. Hong......"
Belch...... Listening to it, I understood that it was because of my appearance, and my cheap father-in-law was too good to me to make this kid "jealous". Obviously, he should not be a simple doorman, he should be someone from a certain Dao sect or Dao Fa family who stayed with my father-in-law.
It is even possible that it is looking forward to the idea of apprenticeship.
When I thought about it so seriously, I guessed the cause and effect of the matter. No wonder this kid is a little hostile to me. That's why.
Think about it, I serve respectfully by Mr. Hong's side every day, and I am still a doorman, not even an apprentice. But I, the guy who appeared out of nowhere, actually became the righteous son of Mr. Hong, whom he must have admired so much in his heart, which naturally caused this little heaven to be displeased.
"I'm telling you, although you are better than me now, one day, I will defeat you. Let Mr. Hong know. I am more gifted and qualified than you to inherit his mantle. This handsome boy in a tuxedo also clenched his fist. Then he quickly pinched his fingerprint and pointed to the side, and there was a lot of tall grass there as if it had been cut off by a sharp sword. Qi Qi fell.
My day! What the hell is this!
I rolled my eyes, feeling a little speechless. How could he be inexplicably hostile to others? Being treated as a competitor really makes me want to cry.
But it's okay. This little heaven did not neglect me for this reason, and still took me to the front of a large villa very dutifully.
I also know from yesterday's conversation with Hong Tianjun. This is a large area in the neighborhood that looks like a community of upscale villas in an elegant setting. In fact, it is the core headquarters of the spiritual warfare force. Among them, there are a total of twenty villas, thirteen of which are used for the thirteen groups of spiritual warfare troops to live in collectively, and the remaining seven are inhabited by Mr. Hong and some logistics and scientific research personnel.
The villa in front of me presents a low-key and introverted feeling, and there seems to be nothing out of the ordinary. But if you look closely, you can find that the feng shui in the vicinity is excellent, and it is obvious that Mr. Hong has found some colleagues who are proficient in feng shui of yang houses to design. At the entrance is an ancient Chinese character "柒".
That's right, this is where Lao Qi and their spiritual warfare troops are stationed.
"Okay, you go back, I can go in myself." I turned to the doorman called Xiaotian and said. He gave me a cold look, then turned and walked away.
"What an impolite child." I muttered as I walked over to the large iron gate of the villa.
Now I am not as weak as yesterday. Not only have the Dark Money Technique and the Martial Arts Technique completely recovered their strength, but they can even be said to have reached a higher level. Casting small spells such as messenger cranes, you can hardly feel the consumption of spiritual power.
It is also a young heart, and when he finally stood at the peak of the younger generation of Daomen, he was still a little excited and arrogant. So at that moment, the spiritual power in my body turned, and several thin pieces of paper money slipped out of my clothes and were suspended in the air.
I stretched out my hands, flicked them in the air, and quickly folded them into four or five paper cranes. With a wave of his hand, the cranes all flew into the villa, flying everywhere.
These paper cranes flew out, and all of them became my "eyes". Through them, I also saw the scenes everywhere in this villa, looking for the figure of the old seven.
The paper crane flew into the hall of the villa, and I immediately felt a depressing breath coming.
Only then did I find that almost all the people in the seventh group of the spiritual warfare force had gathered in the living room, as if they were sitting around and discussing something. And when such a group of people gathered together, there was a natural burst of masculinity on their bodies, which was actually a bit similar to the feeling of martial arts qi and blood of a military cultivator.
After all, my paper crane is a Taoist technique, and the Taoist technique has not entered a profound realm. Even if it is the Taoism of justice, in fact, most of them are basically yin in general. Therefore, in the face of so many powerful warriors in the living room of this villa, I was a little weak when I was rushed by their masculinity. The flight speed has slowed down a lot.
What is it?!
The seventh man sitting in the middle is also very keen, and I just flew into this living room. Before I could pass on my thoughts, he had already discovered them.
With this shout of his. All the soldiers of the seventh group of the spiritual warfare force stood up, their movements were uniform, and they actually took out their guns and aimed them at my paper cranes at the same time.
Oh my god! These guys are too violent, aren't they? Before he could say a word, he actually started directly. I didn't dare to play anymore, so I immediately used these paper cranes to transmit my thoughts to Lao Qi's mind again, so that he could hear my voice.
Although he told everyone to stop in time, all my paper cranes had been shot down by bullets, and I suddenly lost my vision and perception of the inside of this villa.
Alas, Jiang Ming, Jiang Ming. Let you pretend to be forced. These have been beaten down, right?
I stood outside the large heavy iron gates of the villa and shook my head a little self-deprecatingly.
Soon, the big iron door made a dull sound, and slowly opened, and the old seven, who was still covering half of his face with a black cloth, walked out of it. There was a little displeasure in his eyes: "Just say hello well, what are you doing when you let the Dao Crane come in?" Our brethren thought it was the demons on the vampire side who had come to eavesdrop on our battle plan. ”
I shrugged my shoulders, didn't know what to say, and it took me a long time before I said, "Well, I've met your boss." I'm not used to being with him, though. It's better to follow you guys. I reported it to him, and he told me to come to you. ”
Lao Qi nodded: "Well, we were already notified before you came." The boss told us to take care of you, and we must not let you miss anything. "After that. He looked at me with a strange look, as if he was wondering what my relationship with Mr. Hong was.
Oh my god! This cheap father-in-law actually gave me the back door. Say hello to the seventh? This...... Isn't this a relational household? How do I get along with everyone?
Thinking of this, I quickly waved my hand: "Oops." Seventh, don't listen to him. though he is your chief. Anyway, let's go to us, you're the eldest brother, I'm the younger brother, you can't be too much. ”
He looked at me for a moment and nodded, presumably agreeing with me. I followed him into the villa. I don't know why, I always feel that the temperament of this old seven gives me a vague sense of familiarity. It's like ...... Qin Yu!
Uh, anyway, Qin Yu shouldn't have any siblings or anything, right? I haven't heard him talk about it.
As I thought, I followed the seventh into the living room and sat down next to him, and then they continued to talk about the battle plan. I'm not very interested in these things, and I don't understand a lot of them, so I just want to have a good time. Anyway, if there is really a large-scale conflict with those vampires, I just need to charge forward and fight.
It's just that......
When I think of that guy with a round face and always smiling, I feel a little depressed.
Chi Han...... What kind of hardships and secrets does he have that will resolutely devote himself to those vampires without hesitation? I also became their leader, I really can't figure it out!
Listening casually to Lao Qi's battle plan, I realized how important it is to have a master with a powerful lifeline. It turned out that Mr. Hong had already calculated through Ziwei Doushu and knew that those vampires were planning to launch a surprise attack on ordinary people in the bustling area of Shanghai at noon two days later.
Because on that day, there happened to be a total solar eclipse! And it will last for a few minutes, and these vampires only need to lurk in the buildings near the busy area the night before, and when the total solar eclipse suddenly rushes out, then the crowd on the street will become the target of their attack and blood!
And it's not just how many people can be killed, the impact and panic caused by this is absolutely huge. So in such a situation, we have to stop them in advance.
Fortunately, Mr. Hong fought for the danger of being eaten by the heavens, and finally deduced a few places where these vampires might launch large-scale attacks during the total solar eclipse, so he would divide the remaining three spirit war forces into corresponding groups, and then the night before the total solar eclipse, he went directly to the place where those vampires were hiding and waiting, and took the initiative to declare war and strangle the danger in the cradle!!
I don't understand some of the other complicated battle plans, but I understand the general idea. I also have to admire this father-in-law who suddenly appeared, he is really a master among the masters, and his Taoism is mysterious.
I even doubt that his Daoist realm has reached the point where Longhu Mountain, Sanqing Mountain, and Wudang Mountain are the masters of the ancient Xuanmen Taoist sects.
That is, the legendary ...... Earth Immortal !!
Of course, this is just my guess, after all, that Dao realm is too far away from me, and there is no way to imagine and judge it.
Time passed quickly, and more than a day in the meantime was mainly devoted to our preparations for war.
It's just that I called the Hongkou District Police Station once and asked Da Niu to answer it. After chatting with him for a few words, I learned that there were no missing children or pedestrians being sucked to death in the past few nights. It seems that the vampires led by Chi Han are also preparing for this big attack......
Soon, the time was set for that night. According to Mr. Hong's calculations, the vampires should arrive at the place where they want to attack the crowd at the time of the total solar eclipse tomorrow at noon, and hide in the surrounding buildings.
And our mission is to find these hidden evil things in the dark of the night tonight, and then kill them all!
Because most of the spirit warfare troops were sent to Beijing to protect the dragon vein, the remaining three groups were not enough in number, and did not correspond to the five most likely places calculated by Mr. Hong, so they could only be dismantled.
I'm fine, just follow the seventh anyway. Although this guy is very cold and smelly, because of the "baptism" of people like Qin Yu and Lu Tianming, I don't think there is anything particularly unaccustomed.
When night falls, the whole magic capital floats on the Huangpu River like a luxury cruise ship that never goes out.
One after another, black cars drove out of this high-end villa area and drove out towards their established positions. The place where I followed Lao Qi happened to be the area of Nanjing East Road.
Nanjing Road is one of the most prosperous streets in Shanghai. Although it is not particularly high-end, the degree of prosperity is very high, and the tourists are dense. If the vampires do attack here during a total solar eclipse, the impact will be absolutely international, and we must not allow this to happen!
When I arrived at the entrance of Nanjing Road, it was almost nine o'clock in the evening. Because we had a special license plate, we parked the car in a more private place, and then got out of the car and poured into the crowd that had not completely dispersed.
According to the plan made by Lao Qi and them before, we first dressed up as tourists in civilian clothes, walked around the crowd, and then observed. See if there are already vampires infiltrating the hidden corners of certain malls or residences.
I'm sure these vampires will also know that we might snipe them in advance, so they will be more vigilant.
I followed closely behind Lao Qi and whispered, "Hey, does this really work?" We don't know where those vampires are hiding. Nanjing Road is so long, even if I use Lingjue and you use Lingqi to sense and search, I may not be able to find it. ”
Lao Qi glared at me: "Can you shut up?" Don't talk to no one when you're dumb. Did you listen to the battle plan at that time? ”
I bowed my head very honestly: "This, I really didn't listen." ”
Lao Qi: "Get out!" (To be continued.) )
