Chapter 45: The Rising Storm 2
[The World of Dragons: In this article, people who specialize in cultivating the true qi of internal strength are called 'cultivators', not 'cultivating the truth', hehe. 】
A seven-story building in downtown Beijing, ostensibly an advertising agency.
In a quaintly decorated house in the basement of the building
"The five of you will leave tomorrow, I have already said what I should say, I believe you have all read the information, this 'law enforcer' is a strong opponent. I hope you will be careful not to fall into our name. An old man sat in a chair and said to five young people, three men and two women, standing straight at the desk. The old man's face was clear, and the wrinkles on his face were like a piece of dried grapefruit peel, and his appearance was not surprising at all, only the neat white hair and simple and unpretentious clothes made him look a little fairy-like. The old man's eyes seemed to be closed, and there was a faint spill of light between the eyelids opening and closing slightly.
"Deputy Director, I've read the information, and the other party is just a master. I have had an opinion about this mobilization. The second young man from the left hand said, this person is at least 1.90 meters tall, wearing fiery red clothes, the strong muscles of the whole body tightened the originally loose clothes, and the handsome face was slightly dissatisfied.
"Oh, what do you guys think? The tone was calm and kind, but the other four seemed to tremble, their eyes twisted, they didn't dare to meet the old man's gaze, and they closed their mouths tightly and didn't say a word. Only the young man who had just spoken was still looking at the old man fearlessly, and a girl in light green clothes on his left quietly pulled down his sleeve, looking a little panicked. It seems that he is extremely afraid of this old man.
"Hey, Shui Rou, why are you dragging me?" the man in red said dissatisfied.
The old man looked at him with interest, and then carefully looked at the expressions of the other four, and then said with a smile: "Hahahaha, Huo, Huo, Huo, people are as their name suggests, Agni temper, what to say, I can't hold anything in my heart." You are probably the only young man here who dares to speak to the old man in this tone. There was pride in his tone, but there was no anger, and it seemed that he admired the young man named Fire.
When the other people heard him say this, their expressions relaxed.
The pretty girl named Shui Rou, who was quietly pulling the sleeves of the fire flame just now, dared to ask softly: "Old Gu, in fact, I am also a little puzzled by this mission, I think any of us can complete this mission." ”
Although the others didn't speak, they obviously agreed with this girl's words, they are all elites, many tasks are completed single-handedly, even if the team cooperation is mostly the command of the action, and now it is unprecedented for them to go out together. This is really a face-saving sentence for this enforcer, right!?
Huo Lie continued: "And according to the news reported back by the various sects, this person is definitely not their child..."
The old man interrupted him with a smile: "I understand your feelings, we have carefully analyzed this person after receiving the order, and the strength he has shown is at most slightly stronger than the ordinary members of your five departments of 'Gold, Wood, Water, Fire and Earth'. So you all think that a master with no background and average martial arts is not worth all the masters of your five departments, right?"
The five nodded in unison.
The old man's face turned cold, and he shouted: "Confused! Self-righteousness!! How many times have I said that when you look at affairs, don't look at the surface, and never despise anyone." How do your instructors usually teach you, how do you teach you stupid melons? The old man's ordinary and old face burst out with a majesty that people didn't dare to look at, and his eyes swept at the five young people in front of him like lightning.
When the five of them saw the old man angry, they were silent, and they didn't dare to make a mistake, and even the most daring fire didn't dare to squeak.
"Old Gu, why are you so angry. Are these boys angry with you?" was pushed open at this moment, and a middle-aged man pushed the door open. This person has thick eyebrows and big eyes, but he is dignified, but unfortunately he is a little unkempt, his face is covered with green and oozing stubble, his clothes are dirty, and one trouser leg is pulled up and rolled up to his knee.
"Lixing, can you be polite next time you bastard comes into my house, it's always okay to knock on the door. Gu Lao looked at the visitor and said helplessly, and his expression eased.
"Won't I see the outside world if I do this?" said the middle-aged man with a smile
Gu Lao was laughed at by him, and then under the questioning of Li Xing, Gu Lao told him what he had just done.
After hearing this, Li Xing smiled and said to the five people: "Where are you...... There are many things in this world that cannot be just looked at the surface, and the superficial things are the most deceiving. Alas, it's no wonder that you have the abilities that others can only dream of, and you're elite. has always been invincible, and it is inevitable that 'Jiao' and 'Jiao' will grow over time. I also blame the chief instructor for dereliction of duty, how can this law enforcer be as simple as you imagined. You are supplemented by the main internal strength, and it can be said that it is a big advantage to meet ordinary internal strength cultivators, but it is not good if you meet a cultivator with advanced cultivation, because this kind of person will often dig out some strange abilities similar to abilities as his skills increase, and they are more powerful than ordinary abilities. ”
"But this enforcer is ......," Huo Lili interjected unconvinced.
Shaking his hand, he continued, "You must have only paid attention to the wounds of the people he had wounded and neglected anything else. It is not difficult for him to injure his opponent, but he has never left a trace in so many crimes, and he easily escaped by the traps laid by the police. First of all, his mental quality is excellent, and his scheming is calm. Secondly, I suspect that this enforcer is a skilled fellow. He has at least 30% of his hidden powers, so he may have some strange abilities. And this guy is very good at light skills, and his skills are also good, you must be careful with him. ”
Gu Lao then said slowly: "Okay, I won't say anything more. Go out and get ready to go early, remember: there is a sky outside the sky, and there are people outside the people. Be careful to make a 10,000-year-old ship. ”
Hearing this, the five of them looked relieved, bowed lightly to Gu Lao Lixing, and walked out.
Gu Lao looked at their distant backs, sighed, picked up the teacup in front of him, gently blew the rising hot air, and was silent.
Li Xing looked at him with a preoccupied appearance, and said with a smile: "Old Gu, there's nothing to worry about, young man, it's not bad to be a little angry." There's momentum. Besides, are you still afraid that the five of them won't be able to deal with this enforcer?"
Gu Lao pondered for a long time, with a wry smile on his face, and said slowly, "I'm really a little worried?"
Li Xing 'ah', his face was full of disbelief, just kidding, these five people joined forces but he couldn't take it himself, although he thought that this enforcer was a master worthy of attention, but he didn't think he could be better than himself.
Gu Lao sighed again, looked at Li Xing and said, "Don't ask me why I said that, I think this enforcer is like a person, a person who even I am afraid of." ”
"What!?" Li Xing was shocked, the person who could make the top five Gu Lao in the institute jealous, he, who could he be?
"But this person is very old, and this enforcer shouldn't be too old, so it shouldn't be the same person, but I'm afraid that these two people have something to do with each other. ”
Gu Lao sighed lightly and shook his head, took a sip of tea, closed his eyes and remained silent, but there was a slight tremor on his face, as if he remembered something terrible.
In a jeep bound for Beijing Airport, there were five young people in the back seat, three men and two women, who were the five people who had received the task in the Miracle Institute just now.
"Golden Hand, what do you think about this? "It was the fire that spoke.
A handsome young man of 25 or 6 years old who looked handsome but had a sallow face like a sick man spoke: "These old guys above have never done loss-making transactions, and they will never send two people when one person can settle things, and it is estimated that they have a reason to do this today." ”
"Even if it makes sense, you have to say it, half of the words make people listen to it and feel angry!"
"Okay, Huolie, I said that your fiery temper has to be changed, today is Gu Lao's mood is not bad, and you will be punished again if you change your usual life. A short, ordinary-looking young man opposite the golden hand said
"Damn, when didn't I say the question you wanted to ask but didn't dare to ask, you understand, but I was punished, it's really unreasonable. Flamery muttered discontentedly.
"Hahahaha" The other four laughed, and for a moment the car was filled with a harmonious and relaxed atmosphere.
A peak of Mount Hua stands there alone, and none of the surrounding mountains is connected to it, and it is even more impossible to find a way to reach this lonely peak from the surrounding mountains. The nearest mountain is only a dozen meters away from it, but the abyss between the two peaks is probably more than one or two thousand meters deep, and there is no place to connect, and only a few faint clouds and a lush green can be seen when looking down.
Ordinary people can't reach this peak at all, but there are more than a dozen antique wooden houses on the top of the mist-shrouded peak.
At this time, from time to time, the voice of words came from a wooden house.
The room was empty. There was a square wooden table in the middle, and four people sat on a bench and talked in a circle.
A middle-aged man with short hair, a full beard, and a fiery red face suddenly said angrily: "What else are you discussing? Senior brother, I don't understand, why don't you agree with us going down the mountain? Not to mention that we don't all go out, just one is enough." The remaining three can continue to guard the master, and there is also this bastard who beat our little junior brother into a vegetative state, making it clear that he doesn't take our Qianqi faction seriously. Besides, the master loves the little junior brother the most, and if he comes out of retreat and knows that the little junior brother has become like this, he will definitely be sad. "In the end, all the hair must be Zhang, as if Zhang Fei came to the world.
"Not bad. I agree with Senior Brother Earth Spirit's statement, if we don't go out to avenge the little brother, others will still be afraid of this murderer? Besides, Che Jinming has called us several times, and they have always taken good care of us, and I am afraid that we will not be able to say anything if we don't help. A middle-aged man in a yellow robe with an elegant face on the opposite side of the earth spirit nodded and said softly.
An old man in his fifties wearing a shabby Taoist robe sitting facing south listened to the conversation of several people with his eyes closed, opened his eyes for a long time, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes but immediately disappeared, and he turned his head to a middle-aged handsome man sitting facing west with an indifferent expression and smiled: "Senior Brother Xuanling, you have always been the wisest among us, what do you think?"
Hearing this, Xuan Ling hurriedly bowed his head to the Taoist and said, "Senior Brother Tianling has praised it. It's good that the name of the Qian'an faction can't be trampled on arbitrarily, and it's true that Che Jinming has taken a lot of care for us, so we should all go out of the way. ”
Speaking of this, the other two looked happy, and the Taoist pondered for a long time, and said: "Let's be honest with you, the reason why I don't agree with you going down the mountain to take revenge is because the master had calculated a hexagram for us before the retreat, and as a result, he warned me that it is strictly forbidden for all second-generation disciples to go out of the mountain to fight with others, otherwise there will be a disaster of blood and light." Master knows that some of the juniors and disciples have never believed in the way of Xuanhuang, so he instructed me not to say it easily, so as not to arouse your rebellious hearts. ”
"Ahh
Xuan Ling pondered for a while, and then suddenly smiled again: "I have an idea, that is, we don't need to go out to catch the murderer. ”
As soon as these words came out, even the Taoist became interested and urged: "Come and listen." ”
Xuan Ling said: "We all know that there is a special ability research institute in the country, and there have been cases like this that ordinary people can't handle one after another in CZ City, I think they will definitely come out." ”
"Hey, what are those bullshit abilities capable of, it would be nice if it was their old guys who came forward, but these bastards are too lazy to move, they must have sent some unpopular little guys out of the horse, it was okay before, but in recent years, their level has been declining. The top ten young talents list of the year before last only accounted for two of them in the Institute of Ability, and one of these two guys was next to the chairman, and the other was said to assist the Holy See in the United States to catch vampires, and they would definitely not come out. Just with the few pieces of material left, it's not enough for others to clean up. The earth spirit was disappointed.
It's no secret that cultivators and supernatural people don't agree, most of the supernatural people enter the realm quickly with their talents in the early stage, and most of the cultivators come step by step, so except for some cultivators with good congenital conditions, for ordinary cultivators, it is difficult to shake up in front of the supernatural with similar endowments before the age of twenty-five, and most of them can only be on par with the supernatural after the age of thirty, and many people have suffered the losses of the supernatural when they were young, so they hate the appearance of the supernatural in front of them with the help of talent.
Xuan Ling smiled: "The ability to go out of the horse will definitely not be able to hide from another department. ”
Xuan Ling smiled but didn't answer, Huang Ling looked at his smug appearance, thought for a while, and said, "Could it be that the third senior brother, you plan to let the Family Alliance settle this matter?"
Xuan Ling smiled and nodded: "It is also well known that the ability is not compatible with the alliance, and the two factions are desperately competing in order to expand their influence, if we stimulate the alliance, the alliance may not be able to go out." ”
"But our Qianya faction does not belong to the family alliance, and it is a bit inappropriate to ask others for something at this time, right?" The Taoist hesitated, when the alliance was established fifty years ago, the 'Qianya faction' and several more powerful or arbitrary sects ignored it and did not join. The two sides have been in conflict with each other for decades, and although they are not like fire and water, they have not had a good relationship.
Xuan Ling sneered: "We are not begging them, back then we had some problems, and the alliance was also the boss to manage, and now this matter cannot be proved by which sect did it, but the alliance claims to manage all cultivators, and since this matter is done by cultivators, then they have to bear this responsibility, regardless of what happens?"
Hearing this, Tianling nodded, his face was happy, and he smiled: "Third Senior Brother, you should have already planned what to do, right?"
Xuan Ling said: "Yes." In fact, it's very simple, let's unite a few sects that are usually dissatisfied with the alliance but have good strength, and unite the names of several sects to send a letter to the family alliance, blaming them for allowing cultivators to do evil but not being able to take care of it, if they don't have the strength, then we can send someone to deal with it ourselves. I think that such a big hat down, the alliance will definitely not ignore it for fear of losing face, and when the time comes, it will be good to deal with this matter with the hands of the alliance, and it is good to succeed, if it fails, hehe, I think the prestige of the alliance will drop greatly, so our plan will be great...... Hehe. Xuan Ling smiled proudly.
The other three suddenly realized, and the Taoist approved: "I said, with the calmness of the third junior brother, how could he be so anxious to avenge Che Yuli?"
Xuan Ling laughed: "What is a mere Che Yuli? A cultivator of his level grabs a handful, and a few deaths will not damage the strength of our Qianqian Sect at all, if it weren't for the fact that his family has power and is helpful to our great cause, how could I care about him? Now I just want to use this fuse to burn a fire for the alliance! Hahaha...!" There was a hint of hideous taste in the loud laughter.
Dao Ren and Huang Ling looked at Xuan Ling as if they had realized, and a trace of dissatisfaction flashed on Earth Ling's face, but they didn't say anything.
