Li Damin's string of actions made people feel very uncomfortable, even chilling. He and Gan Jiu have some temperaments that are very similar, very yin. I kind of believe that this evil thing is indeed from him.

After a short time, the two came out of the house. Zhao Leng greeted me loudly, and I walked outside, feeling a little depressed. Zhao Yi said excitedly: "Master Li has already promised to inspect me and accept me as a nominal disciple first. ”

I couldn't help but arch my hand: "Congratulations." "It's a good thing.

Actually, I've always wanted to ask Li Damin about the other side of the incense, but this person is too shrewd for me to say. If he is alerted, he may be on fire.

Li Damin looked depressed and asked what was wrong. I reluctantly said that the second sister-in-law in the family was missing, leaving the little doll behind, shouting to find her mother every day, and our whole family was in a hurry. Li Damin asked me what my second sister-in-law's name was and what she looked like, and said, "That's it, I'll help you find it when you get out of the mountain." ”

I secretly breathed a sigh of relief, Li Damin was the cult master who presided over the production of the incense on the other side, and he would definitely be able to find out the whereabouts of the second sister-in-law. As long as the second sister-in-law comes back, the burden of a thousand catties in my heart will be put down.

Li Damin smiled slightly: "Luo Dao, it's not for nothing that I help you." ”

I immediately became nervous, Li Damin made me feel very uncomfortable, like a snake entrenched in the dark, gloomy and dangerous. I coughed, "What does Master Li need me to do?" ”

Li Damin smiled: "You have a good relationship with Jieling?" If I can invite him out to sit down, I want to catch up with him. ”

Li Damin's attitude when he talks about unraveling the bell is very strange, neither like a close friend nor a bad enemy, and intuitively feels that there must be a story between the two of them. Since Li Damin said that he has been paying attention to the elixir, why don't you ask me directly, you have to pass me, there is a mystery here.

We rested in the Taoist temple for one night, and the next day a few people went out of the mountain together. Under Li Damin's conditioning, Brother Dong has recovered some of his senses, and his appearance is quite normal, but his temperament is depressed, and he has changed his arrogant and domineering style in the past, and he has nothing to say all the way.

After a day of walking, we finally returned to the small inn where we set off, saw the long-lost proprietress and saw the car we were sitting in when we came to the parking lot, as if we had just woken up from a big dream, as if we were in a different world. This experience of entering the mountain for alchemy has had a great impact on me, and I haven't eased up until now, and when I close my eyes, I am the scene of pulling the bellows for seven days and seven nights. Gan Jiu's thin face, a sword piercing his head, blood spattering the Taoist temple, and the black firewood room, the memories of this scene cannot be erased at all, and they often hit in his mind.

Even if I have gone out of the mountain now and seen the civilized city, the haze in my heart has never been dispelled, and I even have an illusion that this qiē under the sun is just my dream, in fact, my body is still in the cage of the Taoist temple.

followed Li Damin back to the city, did not get out of the car, and was directly taken to a club in the city center by changing cars. This club is a small three-story building, the ashes are inconspicuous, and the sign hanging on it is a health club. Inside, there were no customers at all, only a few girls in their early twenties in pink overalls cleaning up.

I, Zhao Le, and Brother Dong were stupidly led by Li Damin into the corridor on the first floor and came to the lounge. The lounge is quaint in style, with ink screens on all sides and three chaise longues in the center. Li Damin let us rest here. I was also really tired, I fell asleep in a daze, and about an hour later, a staff member led Brother Dong away, saying that he was going to take a bath. Another person brought two small light buckets to us, saying that the water in the buckets had been prepared by Master Li, and that they could wash their faces with this water for the two of them.

Zhao Lein and I washed our faces with the water in the bucket, and we felt that the itchy part of my face was unbearable, and the swollen parts seemed to be melting.

Later, someone led us to take a bath and sauna, tired for so many days, hot water soaking, I was so comfortable that I hummed. After washing, change into a bathrobe and lie comfortably in the lobby on the first floor and watch a movie on the big screen. I was a little upset until the evening, this wouldn't be Li Damin's house arrest.

I tried to tell the staff that I had to go home in the evening. They didn't stop me and took the initiative to take me to the changing room. I got dressed, went back to the hall and said to Zhao Zhao, and found that something was not quite right with this kid. His eyes were blazing and untired, and although his eyes were always on the movie screen, I knew that he was absent-minded, and his mind had long been lost.

I called him a few times, and he came back to his senses and made a gesture to tell me that I had something to call us. Now that he has found Gan Jiu's master, he must have moved his heart to make friends and cling, forget it, everyone has their own ambitions.

The phone has long been out of battery, and when I got home, I just charged it, and the missed calls kept jumping. I picked it up and took a look, most of them came from home, especially Luo Xiaomi, there can be more than a dozen calls in the past half a month. I flipped through it carefully, and finally found the name of the caller, and I breathed a long sigh of relief.

I first talked to my eldest brother and sister on the phone, and made up nonsense, saying that I was out of business and it has been inconvenient to answer the phone these days. They complained about me, and I asked my eldest brother if there was any news of my second sister-in-law from the Public Security Bureau. The eldest brother sighed and said that there has been a big operation recently to jointly crack down on the abduction and trafficking of women and children, and your second sister-in-law has been included in the list of victims, and I think there will be a day when the truth will be revealed.

Putting down the phone, I began to wonder, will this joint strike be a roundabout strategy of Officer Liao and their anti-narcotics police, Shisen has a deep background in science and technology, and cannot attack from the front, outflank from the side, and the Qilu attack may be a breakthrough.

I called Xie Ling again. Xie Ling listened to my voice and said, "Damn, Luo Dao, where have you died these days, I found that you kid is really small." ”

I smiled bitterly: "Brother Xie, you are my brother, how dare I hold a grudge against you, I really have a strange experience." I also met a man who claimed to be quite familiar with you. ”

"Who?" Xie Ling asked.

"Li Damin."

Xie Ling was silent on the phone for a long time, and I was keenly aware that his relationship with this Li Damin was indeed unusual. Xie Ling made an appointment with me to meet at his house tomorrow and tell him the details of the matter.

The next morning, I rushed to his house. Xie Ling was watering the flower pot on the windowsill and helping me open the door with the kettle. I said, "You're pretty relaxed." ”

"Tell me, how did you meet Li Damin?" Xie Ling asked.

I sorted out my thoughts and carefully explained the process of entering the mountain to view the alchemy. Xie Ling listened very carefully, put down the kettle, and didn't blink his eyes. My mouth was dry and I took a sip of tea: "That's the case, Li Damin said that he would invite you to sit down if he has the opportunity." What is the relationship between him and you, it seems that they are not friends. ”

Xie Ling smiled bitterly: "I have seen a lot of strange people and strange things in my life, and this person is the most weird, evil and demonic, but I can't do anything about him." In fact, I should have thought a long time ago that the person refining the incense was him, and only he could do such a big thing. ”

"Then just notify the police directly, arrest him, forgive this Li Damin and don't dare to openly rebel." I say.

Xie Ling shook his head: "How can it be so simple, not to mention that Mr. He is standing behind Li Damin, even if he is arrested now, there is no evidence." I believe that with Li Damin's ability and calculation, he will not be directly involved in the process of refining drugs, and he will definitely get rid of the relationship. Moreover, I believe that refining drugs to make money is not Li Damin's original intention. ”

"And what does he want to do?" I asked.

Xie Ling said: "Money and power are similar to dung for people like him. Li Damin is a very ambitious person, he first wanted to become an immortal himself, and later wanted to open a sect in the secular world and become the leader of a sect. ”

"Isn't this similar to the Holy Aunt?" I say.

Xie Ling smiled: "The Holy Aunt is much purer than him, the Holy Aunt at least has no personal desires, and is bent on extraditing sentient beings to the Pure Land." And Li Damin," he said, "I can't figure out what he wants to do, and I suspect that he, like that Mr. Peng, has an imperial dream." ”

"Who is Mr. Peng?" I asked curiously.

Xie Ling waved his hand, saying that these were all things about Chen Sesame and rotten grain, which was not interesting to say. He said, "I'll think about what to do about it." If Li Damin calls you and invites me over, you will agree for me. I want to meet him, too. ”

Knowing that I had been poisoned, Xie Ling carefully examined the injuries and felt his pulse. He said: "Li Damin's recipe is right, from a certain point of view, he is not a stubborn villain. He said save you, and he won't harm you. He checked the injury on my chest again, nodded and said, "It's really good, I don't know much about the Dan Dao, I really didn't expect that there was such a panacea in this world." Alchemy is really a university question. ”

Xie Ling took glutinous rice, and with wine, helped me apply it to my face and pull out the poison.

I was half-lying on a rattan chair to recuperate, and Xie Ling suddenly said: "Can you still find the Twin Immortal Temple in the mountains and the ancient well where Chen Daochang's body was found?" ”

With rice on my face, I didn't dare to make a big move, and shook my head: "I'm a road idiot, not to mention the deep mountains and old forests, even if I enter the city, I should be dizzy, and I don't even know the southeast and northwest." ”

Xie Ling asked: "Did you find that Daochang Chen's body really had no head?" ”

I wondered, "yes." Why do Gan Jiu, Li Damin and you all pursue this matter? The corpse does not have a head, I heard Gan Jiu say that it seems to be a special ritual of the Dan Dao Sect, and the head of the dead is cut off when it is buried. ”

After saying this, the room fell silent, and Xie Ling was silent, not knowing what to think.

In the evening at his house, I was about to say goodbye after dinner, when suddenly a call came, I looked at the screen, and made a lip gesture to the bell, indicating that it was Li Damin.

Answering the phone, Li Damin said: "Luo Dao, I have investigated the matter of your second sister-in-law and found her whereabouts." ”

When I heard this, I almost cried: "Really? Thank you, Master Li, and I thank you on behalf of the whole family. ”

Li Damin smiled lightly: "Her condition is not very good, and I have been sent to our private hospital for treatment." You can rest assured that her life is not in danger. ”

I was indeed so moved, Li Damin was not as evil as it was rumored, so I hurriedly said, "Master Li, can our family go and see her?" ”

Li Damin groaned: "That's it, her situation is still a little bad at the moment, and she can't see people." After a week, my body will recover almost as much as I do. When the time comes, you can transfer her to a regular hospital for recuperation. ”

Thinking that it would take a week to see my second sister-in-law, I feel a little unsure, but if I think about it, Li Damin will not hurt anyone. If he really wanted to be unfavorable to his second sister-in-law, he would have done it a long time ago. I thanked me on the phone, and Li Damin smiled: "Luo Dao, there is a deal between us, I will help you find the second sister-in-law, will you also help me give me a message to solve the bell." ”

I glanced at Xie Ling beside me and coughed: "Okay, you say, I'll help you bring it." ”

"Is he right next to you now?" Li Damin said suddenly.
