Of course, it is more labor-saving for someone to carry than to walk on their own. The winter solstice is now in a daze, and usually those concerns are gone, and only instinct is left in the mind.
"Long Ju, you haven't decided on your apprentice yet, have you?"
Long Shen hummed.
The winter solstice said: "I just led out the thunder again and destroyed the monsters. Would you like to focus on me?"
Long Shen didn't answer, but a certain person was born out of courage. Although he was lying on the other's back and didn't move, his words started to let go of himself.
"I am such a potential apprentice, if you miss this village, there will be no shop. Although Liu Qingbo is a little taller than me, he is not as handsome as me. For a handsome apprentice like me, you will have a lot of face when you take it out in the future. Otherwise, if you take Liu Qingbo out, everyone will ask, "Long Ju, how can you find an apprentice who looks older than you?"
After waiting for a long time for a response, Long Shen suddenly stopped and put him down.
Winter Solstice thought he was angry, so he cowarded first, and said honestly: "It was all nonsense just now, don't take it to heart."
Long Shen: "The key."
"Ah? Oh!" Only then did he realize that he had reached the door of the bedroom, and he hurriedly took out the key to open the door.
The heat quickly spread from his face upwards. The only good thing was that the light above his head was not bright enough, and the other party probably wouldn't come to look at him carefully.
When he opened the door and turned on the light, Long Shen didn't mean to leave. He must have been willing to listen to his report on tonight's events. The winter solstice let the other party go in first.
He had already returned home, and of course he couldn't let the other party continue to carry it on his back. Who knew his legs were weak, so he knelt down directly in front of the other party, looking like he was doing three knees and nine knocks.
Winter Solstice: ... shameful!
Long Shen: "I haven't been a teacher yet, so there's no need to give such a big gift."
I really want to dig a hole and bury myself in the winter solstice.
But he also discovered that it was not that Long Shen had no sense of humor, he just hid it deeply.
Zhou You Wang Fenghuo played the feudal lords, and he also won a smile from the beautiful woman. His weak legs can bring out Deputy Director Long's sense of humor, which is not a loss.
I came in and rested for a while, finally regaining some strength, and the winter solstice talked about what happened tonight.
Long Shen asked back, "How would you analyze it?"
Winter Solstice took it as a test for himself, so he tried his best to raise his spirits, thought about it carefully, and said, "I guess it should be that Hui Yiguang and Wang Qi do have grievances. , I was stared at by monsters for some reason. I remember you told He Yu that people have seven emotions and six desires, love and hatred. , the monsters have provided Wang Qi with the power to kill."
Long Shen nodded: "The hospital has countless births, old age, sickness and death every day, which is the place of reincarnation. All kinds of breaths are mixed, especially resentment, which will be infinitely magnified. There are countless incarnations of human beings and demons. It may be scattered all over the place, or even hide in a place like a hospital to absorb energy and strengthen yourself. What you bumped into tonight is likely to be one of its residual thoughts or clones."
Winter Solstice frowned and said: "But we protected Huiyiguang and wiped out Wang Qi's soul. Is it right or wrong? Maybe Huiyiguang is really like what Wang Qi said, and Wang Qi will hate her friends so much. "
Long Shen's face was light: "We are only responsible for subjugating demons and subduing demons, but not for appeasing people's hearts. Even a doctor or a police officer can only save lives, but not people's hearts. The Special Administration Bureau, just performs the same duties at different levels. "
Winter Solstice sighed: "Yes, no matter what difficulties you have, if you are exploited by monsters to deal with ordinary people, you should be punished."
But Huiyiguang's reaction to Wang Qi's confrontation was vividly remembered. Everyone present, including the Winter Solstice, did not think that Huiyiguang was completely innocent in this matter.
She concealed her relationship with Wang Qi in advance. When everyone asked about her boyfriend, she ignored the twists and turns. When Wang Qi appeared, she could tell from Hui Yiguang's tone that she was not completely ignorant. Love, there may have been an object of suspicion long ago, but because of a guilty conscience, he has never dared to admit it.
Long Shen seemed to see what he was thinking: "Many things have their own antecedents, and there are only results. The so-called heavenly way exists in every thing and every detail, you and I are in Under the way of heaven, it may become the sword of the way of heaven."
Winter Solstice: "You mean, karma?"
Long Shen shook his head: "Whether the retribution is just a wishful thinking of human beings, I think it is more appropriate to explain it with the law of conservation of energy."
Facing the other party's puzzled look, he said: "A person who exudes a little bit of hostility towards the world and others will inevitably accumulate negative energy, and if it accumulates to a certain extent, it will naturally come to the time of backlash. This is the conservation of the way of heaven. "
The winter solstice suddenly said: "So the ancient sages emphasized walking in line with the sky. It does not mean that good people will always have good rewards, but if you follow the way of heaven, you will naturally get the vitality of heaven and earth!"
Long Shen nodded slightly: "In the era of the end of the law, material desires are overflowing, people's hearts are confused, and many people retreat from the bottom line for the sake of money, and finally they are reduced to the same people that they looked down on at the beginning. This is not unusual. This line will only see more and more.”
He paused, "It's not a bad thing to be soft-hearted, it at least gives you a bottom line, but when you break it, you break it. During the battle, you should not be indecisive and drag your companions down."
"Yes." The Winter Solstice was taught obediently.
After a conversation, he was still tired, but not very sleepy. He rubbed his face and yawned: "It's so late, I didn't bother you, did I?"
Long Shen: "I'm writing a report."
Do you mean interrupted? The winter solstice hurriedly said: "Then you can write, I wash and sleep."
He sent the Great God away and turned back to wash up, feeling refreshed, but not sleepy anymore.
When I touched my stomach, I found that all the food I ate at night was basically consumed by the broken bones, so I called for a barbecue on the winter solstice. I thought that there was someone on the other side rushing to report, so I went to knock on the door.
Long Shen really hadn't slept yet.
The winter solstice lit up the bag in his hand and said with a smile, "Are you hungry, would you like to use some?"
Long Shen said: "No need, you can eat it yourself."
After saying that, the door is about to be closed, and the winter solstice is busy showing the killer: "I can't sleep, I want to read the magic book, but I can't understand many terms, and there is no label on the Internet. Can you watch it here? If you don't disturb me."
Long Shen turned his body slightly and let him in. He was overjoyed at the winter solstice, for fear that the male god would regret it in the next second, he quickly entered with the book in his arms.
Although the dormitory is one room and one living room, they are all connected together and not separated. The deputy director's dormitory has the same layout as the winter solstice. The decoration is also unified, with beige walls, dark and stain-resistant sofas and sheets, and a The small bar, which is connected to the kitchen, is actually considered a mid-to-high-end decoration. It is estimated that the Special Administration Bureau has spent all the funds on the office and staff dormitory, so that there is no money to pay for the property fee.
Long Shen said: "You can do it yourself, if you don't understand, you can ask."
The winter solstice was busy: "You are busy with your work, I will just read the book by myself."
Long Shen nodded, poured him a glass of water, turned his head and sat down at the desk again.
The winter solstice swears to God that he really wants to study seriously, and he will come here with the mentality that there is a great god who can teach and solve doubts, but when the person he likes is near, he wants to control his eyes and not look there. Gone with the wind, there are not many people in this world who can do it.
Long Shen turned his back to the person and wrote hard without any signs of raising his head, but he was as keen as he was, and it was impossible not to notice the gaze behind him.
And that gaze went on and on, looked at for a while, moved away, looked at for a while, moved away.
Longshen shook his head secretly, thinking that he can really concentrate on his studies
As soon as this thought started, I heard the other party ask: "Long Ju, I want to donate all the money Hui Yiguang gave."
Long Shen didn't lift his head: "How much did she give?"
Winter Solstice said: "Three million, and each of us is 300,000. Although the matter has come to an end this time, I don't think it is complete. I feel ashamed and want to donate all the money."
Long Shen finally stopped writing.
"What do you think is Consummation?"
This question made Winter Solstice startled.
He thought about it seriously and said, "Maybe it's because I see that the victim is not completely innocent, and the perpetrator is not without hardships. As the old saying goes, poor people must be hateful, and hateful. There must be pitiful people in the world. Nine times out of ten things go wrong in the world, but all I want is the perfection in my heart.”
Long Shen looked back at him: "There will be more unpredictable and unpredictable things in the future. Good and evil are inextricable."
Winter Solstice said with a smile: "Then I will try my best to make them complete. One time at a time, I will always do better."
Long Shen nodded: "I will help you pay attention to reliable donation channels."
Outside of work, he rarely puts forward his own opinions to interfere with others, but this time, when he saw Winter Solstice's eyebrows, he added another sentence: "You have worked hard this time, and it is not an exaggeration to receive compensation. If you want to donate, half of it is enough."
The winter solstice was very listenable, so he heard the words and said, "Then I will listen to you."
Seeing Long Shen writing the report word by word, he couldn't help but say, "Why don't you use a computer to type? It will be faster that way."
There are very few people who write reports by hand these days, let alone the leaders themselves.
Long Shen said: "It may be because I had few opportunities to write before."
Winter Solstice thought that the other party just wanted to practice calligraphy, or that he was not very good at using computers, but he did not expect such an answer.
Long Shen seems to be in a good mood today, and will take the initiative to talk to him.
"The creation of characters is a significant difference between human beings and other creatures. Once it emerges from paper, it has a life of its own."
He casually pointed to the book spread out in front of the winter solstice, and the black Song Dynasty characters seemed to come to life in an instant, twisting his body and jumping out of the paper, the word "人" jumped with its left and right sides." The character "Dao" rushed forward like a car, knocking over the "person" directly, the characters "brother" and "brother" behind him were trembling all over, as if they were overwhelmed with joy, but the character "Zhang" that jumped out from behind used a handful of them. The bow and arrow hit the buttocks, and the words were immediately smashed into a ball.
Winter Solstice was stunned.
Long Shen said: "Invisibility doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Buddhists say that there are three thousand big worlds and three thousand small worlds, and what the human eye can see is only one of them. Life is created, and other lives are being created. . Our duty is to maintain the balance between the world and the world.”
He touched it casually, and the word "Zhang" instantly turned into powder and dissipated in the air.
The winter solstice was both funny and pitiful. He stretched out his finger and touched the word "person", and found that he had no real touch, but the other party seemed to sense his approach and tried desperately to hide, but the result was still instantly shattered. disappeared like a bubble.
Long Shen wiped his hand, and the words returned to the pages in the blink of an eye, flat and neat, the scene just now was like an illusion.
Winter Solstice sighed: "I suddenly feel that I have lived in a dog's stomach for more than 20 years!"
Long Shen said: "Every stroke has a spirit, and being able to read and write by hand is a natural creation of human beings. Many humans often feel that they are small, but they have inadvertently created countless worlds."
Thinking about the winter solstice, and looking at the boring classics, it seems to be a little more interesting, like reading a world that belongs to words.
The more contact he got with Long Shen, the more he felt that this man was a mystery.
The whole body is covered with clouds and mist, making it difficult to see clearly.
But it's like that again, making people want to get close and find out.
Long Shen turned around to write the report again, and the sound of flipping the book could be heard from time to time behind him.
This report is related to their discoveries in Inner Mongolia. Although the work was handed over to a group, Long Shen still had to write down everything that should be explained.
The director was not a practitioner, and he did not accurately predict the severity of human demons. He thought it was the same incident as before. However, the three deputy directors Wu Bingtian, Long Shen, and Song Zhicun all reached an agreement and thought that they should solemnly explain to their superiors. In order to avoid more serious consequences, Long Shen's report was one of the speeches at the subsequent meeting.
Deputy Director Long is a master at subduing demons and demons, but even after being a leader for several years, he is still not good at writing reports. The report has been dragging on for a whole week and cannot be dragged on any longer.
Deputy Director Long Shen with procrastination looked at the punctuation mark he drew at the end, and sighed with relief, only to find that there was no movement behind him.
When he turned his head, the man was still sitting on the sofa with a book on his lap, but his head was little by little, and he lost consciousness.
Long Shen got up and walked over, patting him on the shoulder.
When the winter solstice moved, he woke up and rubbed his eyes.
"… sorry, I fell asleep?"
Long Shen said, "Go back to sleep."
The winter solstice hurriedly packed up his books and apologized. Originally, he wanted to come over to ask questions, but he ended up sleeping instead.
Long Shen didn't scold him: "You've drawn out a thunderstorm today, and you've already exhausted your mind. Before going to bed at night, practice breathing and breathing before going to bed."
Dongzhi nodded obediently, walked to the door, seemed to remember something, and smiled shyly: "Long Ju, can you take the liberty to ask, what are the chances of me becoming your apprentice?"
Long Shen raised his eyebrows: "Why do you want to be my apprentice so much? According to the techniques you practiced, even if you don't worship under the Hezao School, you still have the opportunity to become Wu Ju's disciple. Hushan and Maoshan are small."
Winter Solstice scratched his head and told the truth: "I only know that if I hadn't been able to draw out the thunder, the other party might not even look at me, but you treat everyone equally. Let me take a risk on impulse."
Long Shen said: "I'm not as good as you said. As for the apprentice, let's talk about it. So far, I have no plans to accept apprentices."
The winter solstice was a little disappointed, but after thinking about it, since he can't be his apprentice for the time being, Liu Qingbo also has no chance for the time being. Everyone is still standing on the same starting line, and he lives in the opposite door now, which is close to the water tower.
In fact, he didn't know that before him, Liu Qingbo had already sent a wave of gifts, including two antique swords that the Winter Solstice could not afford, as well as Miao Jiang Gu King, the Song Dynasty Swordsmanship Book, etc. , completely dumped more than a dozen streets on the winter solstice, and as a result, all the flattery was shot on the horse's leg, and Long Shen took no one.
Like him, he can get the treatment of sitting on the sofa and chatting face-to-face without giving anything. If Liu Qingbo knew about it, he would probably be so jealous that his eyes would turn red.
The winter solstice children "do not know the blessings when they are in the fortune", and after a long period of melancholy, they regained their energy and decided to continue to work hard and make persistent efforts.
Early the next morning, Long Shen's office welcomed a guest.
"Elder Zong."
Long Shen welcomed the guests in, and he did not bow his head to the director or even the higher-level leaders, but bowed his head slightly to this elegant middle-aged woman.
Zong Ling smiled and said, "I didn't disturb you, did I?"
Long Shen said: "No, Mr. Zong is here, and the plum blossoms are shining."
Zong Ling laughed: "It's rare that you are joking. It seems that you are in a good mood today. The last time Wu Bingtian came to me, he said that he was afraid that you would be dissatisfied with their group's takeover of Inner Mongolia, so let me help and talk about it, so as not to leave a gap in your heart."
Long Shen said lightly: "He likes to think too much, complicating simple things all day long. If he focuses on cultivation, he will inherit the head of the Yuanming Palace long ago."
Zong Ling said: "The two of you are the mainstay of the Special Administration Bureau, and your every move will naturally attract attention. He has always been very thoughtful, and he is more suitable for mixing in the officialdom than concentrating on cultivation. The system, Wu Bingtian just fits his heart, so it is inevitable that he will be biased, but he is sent from above. Usually, it is fine, and I am not easy to interfere. If you have any dissatisfaction, you can appeal to me, and I will report it to the above. of."
Long Shen ignored Zong Ling's exhortation and said lightly, "I'm not dissatisfied."
Zong Ling nodded and said no more: "How is the matter on the stone tablet going?"
Long Shen said: "You came just in time, I have something to tell you."
He briefly explained the matter of Huiyiguang.
The more he listened, the more indifferent Zong Ling's expression gradually disappeared.
"It seems that the demons are still there."
Long Shen said, "The human world is there, resentment is there, people and demons are there, and the cycle is endless. People are chaotic and resentment is overflowing, which gives a good environment for people and demons to nourish. I suspect that it did not last time in Tianyuan Building. It was completely wiped out, and what they encountered in Huiyiguang this winter solstice is very likely to be one of the demon breaths of humans and demons."
Zong Ling frowned and said: "It is necessary to find the source of its body before it can be completely annihilated. Human demons are the most active of the three demons. If they are not eliminated in one day, there will be endless troubles in one day."
But it is easier said than done to find the main body of human and demon. There are many sporadic records in history that human and demon were born and destroyed, but it can be hundreds of years or decades. When grievances condense to a certain extent, human demons will gradually resurface.
Zong Ling said: "It was not that no one found its body before and seriously injured it. In the following two hundred years, people and demons have died down and dared not act rashly."
Long Shen showed a smile: "That is one of the achievements of Zong Lao."
Zong Ling coughed lightly: "That was many years ago, I guess you have heard it thousands of times, Lian Po is old, let's not mention it. Last time I met Tang Jing and a few of them in Tianyuan Building. At the time, I thought it was too smooth to eliminate the demons at the top. However, even if it was not eliminated, it must have been severely damaged last time, otherwise it would not have to be divided into scattered demons and hidden in the dark. Since you found its whereabouts in the hospital, you can simply If you search with the hospital as the center, you may find something, if you are lucky enough to find its body and annihilate it in one fell swoop, it would be even better."
Long Shen nodded and said, "After Huiyiguang, they may have been shocked by the grass, but I also have this intention, and I will let people look after it."
Zong Ling said: "He Yu and Kan Chaosheng have all gone to Yunnan. You only have one bell and one more, which may not be enough. I will let three groups of people help you."
Long Shen said: "Also."
Zong Ling said: "Speaking of this, the second group should indeed add a few more people. Do you have any candidates for this recruitment?"
Long Shen did not speak.
Zong Ling smiled: "That's it? It's rare. I have always felt that you are too strict with your subordinates. In fact, which one of them is released is enough to be on his own."
Long Shen frowned slightly, obviously disapproving: "It's not good to watch Chaosheng."
Zong Ling said with a smile: "Looking at Chaosheng, after all, it hasn't been a long time for him to transform into shape. A child's temperament is greedy for freshness. You are a dignified deputy director of the General Bureau, but you have fewer staff than the director of the bureau. If you really like it, you can start quickly. I heard that Wu Bingtian is also staring at a few good seedlings. The interview scores and total scores have already come out. I am here. Do you want to go through the back door and take them first? have a look?"
Just as Long Shen was about to say no, there was a knock on the door.
He said, "Come in."
The winter solstice pushed open the door and came in. Unexpectedly, there were other people in his office. He was stunned for a moment, recognized the person, and bowed hurriedly, saying politely, "Good morning, Mr. Zong."
"Good morning, are you looking for Long Shen?" Zong Ling smiled.
The winter solstice hurriedly said: "No, no, it doesn't matter, you guys talk first, I won't bother."
Zong Ling smiled: "Do you want to run away when you see me, am I so annoying?"
Although he knew that the other party was joking, he had to tell the truth at the Winter Solstice Festival: "I'm here to ask the Dragon Bureau, if we want to have dinner together at noon, do you want to go with us, Mr. Zong?"
Zong Ling said, "Don't you bother?"
Winter Solstice said with a smile: "Of course not, I'm just worried that the scores haven't been announced yet, others will misunderstand and cause you trouble. If you don't mind, I'll be very honored."
Zong Ling waved her hand: "Forget it, I'm teasing you, go and play first."
Seeing that they were talking about business on the winter solstice, they wanted to leave for a long time. When they heard the words, they quickly closed the door for them.
Zong Ling smiled and looked at Long Shen: "Winter Solstice is among the people you want to recruit? Or do you want to accept even the apprentices?"
Long Shen was silent for a moment, and said, "He has understanding, understands progress, and has perseverance."
Zong Ling smiled and said, "He Yu and Zhong Yuyi share the same qualities you mentioned, but if they knocked on the door just to ask you if you would like to have dinner together at noon, you would have already deducted this year's salary. already."
Long Shen said: "He's not yet a member of the Special Administration Bureau. I can't measure him by my rules."
Zong Ling raised her eyebrows: "Will you say the same after he enters the second group?"
Long Shen: "Yes."
Zong Ling smiled and said, "How about we make a bet?"
Long Shen frowned: "Elder Zong!"
Zong Ling raised her hand and surrendered: "Okay, okay, I know that gambling is strictly prohibited in front of you, I don't break your rules, do you really not read the score list?"
"Then I'll go first, you're busy." Seeing that Long Shen didn't say anything, she laughed and got up and walked out.
The moment his hand touched the doorknob, a voice finally came from behind him.
"Elder Zong."
Zong Ling smiled.
…
A few days later, Winter Solstice received a call from Gu Meiren.
According to the order, after Li Ying and Chi Banxia, it was the turn of the Winter Solstice and Gu Meiren to protect Huiyiguang, but what happened that night broke the agreement. Cheng Yuan and other five people failed to arrive in time, so they naturally had to take on Hui Yiguang's next protection work.
However, after that day, Huiyiguang's troubles were no longer these strange forces.
The rumor that she tried to commit suicide in the hospital was not successful, and the media even photographed the scene of her being helped out of the hospital. Although Wang Qi is not as well-known as Huiyi Guang, she has been a little red for a while before. She suffered a car accident. After becoming a vegetative person, it was also reported by the media, but it quickly lost its popularity. As soon as the Huiyiguang incident came out this time, someone immediately dug up the fact that Wang Qi was also hospitalized in this hospital. What's more, Wang Qi was declared dead at the same time.
The relationship between Wang Qi and Hui Yiguang has also been thoroughly dug up. Even their early relationship and their relationship with the same boyfriend have been made public to the world. There are no secrets to speak of, and rumors spread all over the world. Many people said that it was Wang Qi who was wronged before her death and wanted Hui Yiguang to accompany her below. Some people said that Hui Yiguang was guilty of being a thief and owed Wang Qi, so she ran there to commit suicide, and some even said that Wang Qi died. It is related to Huiyiguang. It was only later that the hospital surveillance revealed that Hui Yiguang had never entered Wang Qi's ward before he was cleared of suspicion.
Fortunately, Li Ying and the others had foresight. When they went to find Wang Qi that night, they used some small means to make the monitoring fail for a period of time. Otherwise, they would inevitably be involved, and it would become a criminal suspense case.
Huiyiguang is not as lucky as Li Yingdongzhi and the others. She has been completely involved in the whirlpool of public opinion. Even her boyfriend called her and told her not to meet for the time being. For the time being, I can't go to shoot. The downstairs are full of media reporters, and they will be blocked as soon as they go out.
The winter solstice has been busy resting and recovering for the past two days. Hui Yiguang has Cheng Yuan and the others, and he doesn't need his intervention. He heard all the news about her from Gu Meiren.
At this time, Gu Meiren called him, just to ask him if he wanted to visit Huiyiguang together. After all, he had charged 300,000 yuan, and he had to do a good job of "after-sales".
Winter Solstice wanted to refuse, but after a second thought, he agreed again, made an appointment with Gu Meiren, and went together.
