Chapter 136: Nine Lives 1
readx;? I know that Aunt Guan is a person with "nine lives", and Sang Qinghong is just one of her "nine lives". Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeใ info
In everyone's human nature, there are not only "benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom and faith, loyalty, filial piety, and kindness", but also "greed, hatred, anger, and curses". If all the human nature of the official lady is evenly distributed on the "nine lives", then the "nine lives" she carries for the world will show various temperaments and become a great disaster in the ordinary world.
I didn't get up, but I believed that Shadow, Chu Chu, and Blood Gut Gu Po would be able to deal with what was happening outside.
Now, Qushuiting Street has become very distant in my mind, and with it, there are leisurely, poor, monotonous, and gloomy days in the old house.
Without a famous teacher, I spent the nine years of compulsory education in elementary school and junior high school, and then spent the six years of high school and junior college in a hurry, and then naturally graduated unemployed and became a young idle person in society. This is an era of "fighting for my father", when all the parents of my age are desperately paving the way for their children, I can only rely on my grandfather for my life and live in the old house.
"I can't waste any more timeโ" My fists clenched.
Zhang Ailing once warned young people to "become famous as soon as possible", I have passed that age, but I have no way back, I must catch up and become a person comparable to Shadow, Mrs. Bamboo, and Qingdao Han.
Only in this way can he be worthy of the bloodline of the Xia clan, and he will not be born in this world in vain.
I remember when I was in the first year of high school in Jinan No. 7 Middle School, the head teacher taught us that life can only be changed if we want to change in our hearts, and as long as we want to change in our hearts, our lives will definitely be changed.
In the past, I only lived with the ordinary people of Qushuiting Street, and all I saw was the sky at the four corners of the courtyard, completely limiting my vision and ideals. The one who is close to Zhu is red, and the one who is close to ink is black, and over time, I have become a sparrow that can't fly, bound by my hands and feet, and I dare not think or do it.
"From today on, fight, fight, fight!" "My nails sank into my palms, but I couldn't feel the pain, and the spicy fire of life in my chest was already burning.
"It seems that something is wrong, and even the fish god is restless. The shadow said.
I felt strongly that the uneasiness of the giant fish was accumulating, not only the tail fin was writhing, but every part of the fish was struggling, as if it was looking for a place to escape.
Giant fish are spiritual, and only when they feel an irresistible crisis looming, will they show this kind of panic.
"I'll go out and have a look. Chu Chu said.
"No, let your subordinates go down to the elevator and take a look, you must sit firmly in the middle army and command thousands of troops. "Shadow block.
At this time, I should have immediately gotten up to help Chu Chu eliminate the disaster, but I suddenly noticed that the sofa under me was making a slight vibration.
The sofa is a wood-framed, leather-wrapped sofa with six legs underneath that firmly support the main body of the sofa. The ground here is very flat, and it is paved with top-quality fine glazed square tiles measuring one meter square, so it is impossible to have uneven sand. I looked up at the adjacent couch and immediately noticed that all the couches in the room were shaking, and a newspaper on one of the couches was also moving slowly and sliding down under the shaking.
"It's an earthquake!" I subconsciously whispered, but then I also denied my idea, after all, when an earthquake comes, the shaking is large, the frequency is high, and the time is short, and when people realize the "earthquake", the shaking of the earth has ended. Now, however, I felt the newspaper hit the ground for more than a minute, and the tremor did not increase or decrease, and the sofa was still shaking evenly.
I sat up, rubbed my face, swayed away my sleepiness, and then bent down with my ears on the floor, listening intently to the message from the darkness.
At first, I only felt a slight tremor in the ground, and then, I noticed that hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands of countless earthquake points were rising and falling one after another, gradually connecting into a giant snake that was tumbling and dancing, almost turning the earth under the mirror room over.
This is certainly not an earthquake, but a geological phenomenon that I have never seen and cannot understand. Let it develop, I am afraid that this kind of shock will destroy the mirror room and destroy Jinan City.
"What's that?" began to sweat on my forehead.
All I know is that it is another great crisis that is rapidly looming, and it is like a giant spirit's palm slapping head-on compared to the shadow ambush plan, and it is menacing and irresistible. If it is not handled properly, the "Mirror Room" may be destroyed before the Shadow's plan can be implemented.
"Big brother. Chu Chu hurriedly walked in, not caring about being polite, and took a few steps to the sofa.
I put my hands on the ground and slowly got up.
"Big brother, all the Gu worms have sent out a signal. Chu Chu's face had turned as pale as paper from excessive anxiety.
"What signal?" I patted my hands and slapped the dust off my fingers.
I was anxious in my heart, but I remained quiet on the surface, so as not to aggravate Chu Chu's anxiety.
"There's big trouble, and it's from the ground, and it's something we've never seen before. The Gu worms I raised are all the elites of the 36 branches, one hundred and eight branches, and 1,800 items in Miao Jiang, they are fierce and brave, and they will never admit defeat. But this time, most of the Gu worms had been over-frightened and had lost their combat effectiveness. Now, I have to go out and see what's going on. Big brother, I'm here to say goodbye to you, it's likely that you will walk out in one step, and you may not be able to walk back in a hundred steps. Chu Chu said.
I pointed to the ground: "There was an earthquake just now, do you feel it?"
Chu Chu shook his head: "No, I've always been with Mr. Shadow." โ
I can't explain what I just felt to Chu Chu in a few words, and maybe too much explanation will only make others more confused.
"Don't go out, it's getting very strange. I admonished her.
"Why?" Chu Chu was puzzled.
I sighed and took her hand and walked out.
On the walls of the hall, the two fish were in a worse state than I had imagined, especially the big one, which had to roll over and swim back every few seconds, and it couldn't be quiet at all.
As for the giant fish, it maintained a strange posture that is difficult to describe in words, the body of the fish leaned to the right, half of its belly exposed, and it almost fell sideways.
The shadow parked his wheelchair in the middle of the hall, facing the two glass doors, motionless to observe the situation.
"Don't go out of anyone, the enemy is strong, stay out of the edge for the time being!" I shouted.
"Where is the enemy?" the shadow looked up and frowned deeply, "I only feel the dense clouds and no rain, but I can't find the trace of the enemy. Mr. Xia, have you detected their movements in another way? Tell me about it, tell me about it......
He looked extremely confused, and didn't seem convinced of what I was saying.
I thought about it for a few seconds and immediately took my phone out of my pocket.
"Who are you going to call for?" the shadow raised her eyebrows, and the suspicion in her eyes intensified.
"Lady Bamboo. I replied briefly to the name, not wanting to explain too much.
Earlier, Qi Mei and Mrs. Zhu were talking in the office on the eighth floor of the basement, and they burst into fire, and the bullet burned Mrs. Zhu's hair. It can be seen that there is a deep prejudice between the two sides.
As an outsider, I don't care what the relationship between them is, at this moment, I just want to understand what kind of strange changes have happened in the underground of the "Mirror Room" through Mrs. Bamboo.
"If you have anything, it's the same to consult Qi Mei. The shadow raised his hand to stop my dialing.
I sighed: "Then please invite Mr. Qi in." โ
The shadow looked me up and down for half a minute before pressing the remote control on the armrest and opening the door I had walked through as I entered.
At the same time, he pinched the button of the microphone and commanded in a low voice: "Qi Mei, you come in." โ
The figure at the door flashed, and Qi Mei walked in briskly, and the door closed immediately.
"Qi Mei, Mr. Xia has something to consult you. The shadow said.
I sighed again, these people did not accurately foresee the approaching crisis, so they are still obsessed with some procedural and face-saving issues, wasting time in vain. This was the worst of all, because we wasted at least five minutes in the process of Shadow summoning Qi Mei. In five minutes, there was enough elevator for the "mirror room" to transport a large number of enemies over.
The elevator at the end of the corridor was closed, and I believe it was the entrance where the two sides met each other, seemingly peaceful, but in fact there was tension, and there was only one chance of a thunderbolt.
"Okay, Mr. Xia, please ask. Qi Mei immediately approached me.
In front of the shadow, his attitude is very respectful, without a trace of cynicism and uninhibitedness.
I asked in a low voice, "How much do you know about the glacial lake under the 'Mirror Room'? You said that draining the glacial lake and letting the water from the other water veins flow here can release Geshu Feitian, is that true?"
These few sentences summarize his conversation with Mrs. Bamboo, and my speculation to form a brief answer.
I just need him to answer "yes" or "no", which saves a lot of time.
"Yes. Qi Mei replied.
"What else is there under the ice lake besides the spring water? The water veins are wide open, in addition to rescuing Ge Shu Feitian, what kind of hidden dangers will it bring? The water veins come from the 'mirror room', if there is an enemy who follows the water veins and drives straight in, what kind of enemy will it be? You must have brought Ge Shu Shui's sleeve, where is she now, can you invite her to come over to see me immediately?" I asked four questions in a row, all of which were mysteries that urgently needed to be solved.
Qi Mei's eyes kept blinking as I spoke, proving that he was listening and organizing the answer in his head.
People who have been walking in officialdom for a long time, if they don't even have the ability to "use two hearts", then they don't need to eat the bowl of officialdom.
As soon as my words fell, Qi Mei had already begun to answer: "In addition to the spring water at the bottom of the lake, there is limestone and sandstone that are easy to dig and dredge. Increasing the water pressure from the outside of the soft shell at the bottom of the lake makes it easy to break through the blockage and form a structure of a coarse eye screen, so that water veins from all directions can enter smoothly. According to my calculations, no matter where Ge Shu Feitian is at the moment, he will eventually be able to reach here by going downstream. The second problem is that there must be hidden dangers, as soon as the water veins are opened, there must be mud and sand, good and bad. If the enemy takes the opportunity to enter, it is most likely the Japanese illusionist sect. โ
This analysis is consistent with what I expected, and multiple sources of evidence point to the same answer.
Qi Mei continued: "I have investigated, although there are friends in Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei, Henan and Anhui who are interested in the secrets in the 'Mirror Room', they have not yet had the courage to come to Jinan. After all, Jinan is a big city in the Central Plains that connects the north and south, and it is also the provincial capital of Shandong. Friends on the road in Beijing and Tianjin were unwilling to surrender their identities to the south, while Hebei, Henan, and Anhui did not dare to come to the door to seek death. To sum up, the possibility of infighting among the Chinese people can be ruled out. Looking back, let's talk about the Japanese illusionist sect, many of the disciples in this sect are art masters, including the descendants of the samurai wang clan who are proficient in swordsmanship, there are also ninja masters who have fallen behind the sect, and there are professional mercenaries who have been working in the Middle East desert for many years. These people have mixed identities, diverse backgrounds, and disparities in combat effectiveness, making it impossible for us to make targeted arrangements to meet the enemy. โ
His data collection is excellent, analytical and targeted.
"What about now, if the disciples of the illusionist invade on a large scale, how should we meet the enemy?" I continued to ask.
Before answering this question, Qi Mei glanced at the shadow.
I had a hunch that his judgment must be very different from that of the shadow, so I was unsure whether to answer the truth in front of the shadow.
