"Do you think that the boss seems to be in a very good mood today?"
Chaoyun took a bite of the pearl and jade fruit: "I heard that the boss had a bit of trouble with the dragon clan last night. Many people saw it?"
Everyone looked at Zhang Ke curiously. As the host of last night's birthday banquet, Zhang Ke should be the clearest person.
Zhang Ke secretly complained in his heart. Seeing everyone staring at him, he had no choice but to say: "The elders of the sect didn't know that the relationship between the boss and the dragon clan was not very good, so they arranged their seats together out of good intentions."
"hiss."
Everyone couldn't help but take a breath, and they didn't fight on the spot, I'm afraid it was enough to give Zhao Sect's face.
"At that time, I was helping to greet the guests. The specific process is not clear, but I heard news from other guests in the middle of the night that the boss and Bai Longjun had a fight in the sky." Zhang Ke added, "Bai Longjun was hanged in a fancy way. You can't even fight back."
With such a little skill, you can't beat it, scolded and scolded you can't win, and even deliberately provoked. Isn't this nothing to find trouble
"How are you feeling after a fight with someone?" Chao Yun was so shocked that he didn't even eat the pearl and jade fruit, "It's not scientific."
"What science are we talking about here?" Xu Yuan pointed to the computer office page, "Last night, the boss personally issued two tickets, one for himself and one for Bai Longjun."
"Probably... Silly?" Chaoyun tidied up the cheongsam on his body, and said charmingly, "I would rather give myself a ticket than beat Bai Long, the boss's anger is not small."
"That's not right, isn't it because the boss and Brother Fu are wearing couple's clothes?" Wei Cang, who was honest and simple, but didn't understand office culture, asked, "Love makes people feel good, isn't that the truth?"
"What love, who of you is in estrus?" Fu Li went to Zhuang Qing's office and came back just in time to hear Wei Cang's words. In the office, in order to respect the privacy of his colleagues, Fu Li often does not waste his cultivation, and deliberately listens to what other people have to say, so he did not understand what Wei Cang said in the first half of the sentence.
"I mean boss and..."
Zhang Ke stretched out his hand and pulled the younger brother back, and said with a smile, "We are saying that the Weicang species of tiger is about to become extinct, and it may not be easy to find a suitable target."
"It's really not easy." Fu Li nodded and said, "When you have time, let's go to the forest to look for it, if there is a suitable one, maybe."
"Brother Fu is right, I will accompany him to find it when I have time." Zhang Ke nodded seriously, "I must not let him be a bachelor."
Wei Cang: "..."
Seeing that Fu Li did not hear what Wei Cang said, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. It was originally a matter of teasing a few words in private, but it would be embarrassing if the parties heard it.
"Brother Zhang, your sect has a lot of face, and even Kong You invited him here." Chu Yu used his computer to swipe through the Cultivation Forum, "Kong You Daojun is such a noble person that he is willing to perform art for Zhao Sect Master. It's really rare."
"Don't mention it, last night there were guests who were drunk and kept arguing that they were beautiful. My brothers and I were so busy that we didn't have time to watch any performances." Zhang Ke yawned, "If it weren't for today To go to work, I can't wait to get up until noon."
"What kind of phoenix is this?" Song Yu, who didn't go to the birthday banquet, glanced at the performance video on the forum, and said with disdain, "The real phoenix, why do you need so many fancy moves? Don't dare to refuse."
"Brother Song, have you seen Phoenix?"
"Of course." Song Yu said quite complacently, "Who has never seen a phoenix in the demons of our time?"
Others are envious, melancholy, and have an indescribable sadness.
In the Qingxiao faction at this time, Zhao Xiu and several elders unpacked the gifts sent by the guests, and then registered them in a book. Now the spiritual energy is thin, and although everyone has good things in their hearts, they are not too many, so even if Zhao Xiu has a bit of face in the cultivation world, everyone will not send too rare things.
The etiquette on the face is in place, and everyone knows it well.
"Zhuang Longjun sent a pair of blood corals from the East China Sea and a box of sea pearls."
"Fuli Daojun..." The elder who opened the gift box was stunned, shaking his hands and said, "Master, this is five hundred years of wild ginseng!"
"What?" Zhao Xiu got up and took a look at the box. There was indeed a wild ginseng of excellent quality inside. The rare thing was that the root system of this wild ginseng was well preserved.
"Good stuff." Zhao Xiu gently wiped a handful of wild ginseng. In recent years, human development has been serious, and there are almost no places in the sea and mountains that humans cannot go to. There is a certain dangerous mountain circulating in the world of self-cultivation, and even those with a low level of cultivation are afraid to enter. As a result, ordinary humans drove planes and cars, and brought a group of workers there, and even dug a tunnel into the mountain and connected the railway.
There are also those islands and reefs at sea. Without the help of cultivators, ordinary humans have relied on their own strength to fill out an island.
The power and development speed of human beings are infinite. Perhaps in the near future, these human beings will break through the earth and occupy the entire universe. I just don’t know, after leaving the earth, will I still be bound by the way of heaven
"Write down this favor." Zhao Xiu closed the lid and handed the wild ginseng to the elders in charge, "Making this into an elixir, let the elders in the door take it."
Human beings have the ability to invent and create, but their lifespan is less than one-tenth of that of demon cultivators. Even if they embark on the path of cultivation, it does not mean that they are immortal. It is difficult for a demon to transform into a spiritual mind, but once he attains the Tao, it is not difficult to live for five hundred years. Humans are easier to practice than plants and animals, but those who live more than five hundred years old are already rare masters.
If there is a loss, there will be a gain, and I don't know who will suffer more.
The sea is always the most unfathomable place. In the past, human beings were inseparable from water, but they were afraid of the disasters caused by water, so they always worshiped various water-related gods and monsters, such as Dragon King, Shuijiao, Hebo, etc.
Knowing that human beings have more and more knowledge, they find that worshiping gods and monsters does not help them, and they gradually learn to turn their backs on gods and monsters and begin to rely on the tools they created. Therefore, in historical records, the more time goes forward, the more devout human beings are towards gods and monsters, and the more they go back, the more they believe in themselves.
This is probably the greatest advantage of human beings, so it stands out among so many biological clocks and stands at the top of the biological chain.
On the public TV of a small restaurant, there is a certain historical science and education program. A few days ago, it was raining heavily, and a stone statue rushed out from the bottom of the river. The stone statue looked like a dragon instead of a dragon, like a turtle instead of a turtle. There was a stone pillar under its stomach, and its limbs were entangled in chains. It looked very strange.
In the end, archaeologists concluded that this was an ancient water-reversing beast, and it is said that with its watershed, terrible floods would not have occurred. Later, humans carved a stone statue of this water-repelling beast, and then locked it with iron chains and sank it to the bottom of the water, so that he could guard the descendants of this watershed for generations.
It is said that after the water-reversing beast is thrown into the bottom of the river, it must not be dragged out. If the statue is suddenly stranded, it means that there will be a huge flood in the local area, and even the water-reversing beast will not be able to hold it back.
After learning about this ancient legend, some people suggested that experts put the water-avoiding beast back, but more people felt that it didn't matter. If natural disasters could be avoided by relying on a stone statue, then there would not be so many disasters.
People come and go in the restaurant, and no one is interested in caring about what a stone statue is. They help with work, are busy making a living, and are busy realizing unreachable dreams.
However, there are many coincidences in the world. The day after the statue was towed away by a car, it began to rain in the area for nearly ten consecutive days. The people near the waters, with the help of the government, have temporarily moved Leave. No one knows how long the rain will last, nor is it certain whether the flood will happen or not, and no one dares to bet on the lives of ordinary people.
What is even more frightening is that the stone statue that was pulled back to the research institute disappeared. The staff and the local police investigated the surveillance data back and forth countless times, but did not find any suspicious persons. It was only on the night when the stone statue disappeared, the surveillance camera suddenly flashed. After a few moments, when it returned to normal, the stone statue was gone, and all that remained on the ground were the piles of rusty iron chains and the extremely heavy boulders.
This fact was too strange, and I was afraid of causing panic among the local people, so the matter was suppressed, and the relevant departments reported to their superiors, hoping to find a solution.
It has been two days since the management department received the document from the security department. Zhuang Qing flipped through the photos, his eyes fell on the iron chains that bound the limbs of the water-reversing beast, and his expression was very ugly.
Eighteen hundred years ago, he had seen this monster. At that time, he was hiding everywhere. After encountering this monster, he thought that the other party would also eat him. Where to.
At that time, he was tired and alert, so he didn't tell the truth, but the water-avoiding beast pulled him and said a lot.
He said that his name was the cockroach, and his biological father was the auspicious beast Qinglong with the same name as Suzaku. He inherited his biological father's ability to control water. With him, he would not worry about floods. When they parted ways, this cockroach, who claimed to have dragon blood, also gave him a box of medicinal pills, for the sake of being from the same dragon.
Although from Zhuang Qing's point of view, that weird-looking, lazy demon cultivator really has nothing to do with Long.
"Pitcock..." Zhuang Qing stood up, pushed open the door of the office, and walked to the office area, "Chaoyun, Qingxu, and Fuli come with me right away."
"What happened?" The three named stood up together, and when Fu Li saw Zhuang Qing's serious expression, he knew that it was definitely not a good thing.
"Let's talk about it when we get there." Zhuang Qing didn't have time to explain, and hurried to the location where the statue of the beetle was salvaged with three colleagues.
"What a lot of grievances." As soon as Qingxu's feet landed, he was taken aback by the grievances on the river, and he quickly recited the Taoist formula for clearing grievances, in order to resolve the grievances that were so thick on the river that they almost turned into substance.
"This is..." Chaoyun and Zhuang Qing both had dragon energy shields on their bodies, and these grievances couldn't get close to them. Chaoyun glanced at Fu Li, and Fu Li seemed to be one with the resentment, and he could not see the slightest discomfort.
Zhuang Qing put his hand on Fu Li's shoulder, Fu Li was immediately enveloped in a golden light of merit, and his resentment fled away in a hurry.
"How many years of grievances has this been hidden to make it so scary?" Chaoyun took off the hairpin holding his hair and threw it into the air. The hairpin shot out a thousand auspicious qi, dispelling a lot of grievances.
"What exactly did the people here do?" Chaoyun's expression was very ugly. Seeing that his grievances had been eliminated, he thought of something not very good. She turned to look at Zhuang Qing, Zhuang Qing didn't speak, she opened her mouth and spat out the dragon ball in her body.
The golden light of the Dragon Ball radiated in all directions, and no matter how strong the resentment hit these golden lights, there was nothing to hide, and the resentment gradually diminished.
After the grievances dissipated a little, Fu Li saw a person not far from the other side suddenly jumping into the water. He stepped on the water and flew over, picking him up from the river. The man had fainted, and Fu Li threw him on the grass next to him. When he looked back to the other side of the river, he found that a thick fog had risen over the river, and he could no longer see the scenery on the other side.
woo... woo...
The river wind whistled, like the wailing of some kind of animal, and like the most angry accusation.
He waved his sleeves to drive away the thick fog on the river, but what Fu Li saw was not the other side, but after the death of the beetle, the bones were put into the stone statue by humans, then tied with iron chains, engraved with runes, and threw the stone statue inside.
One year, ten years, one hundred years, one thousand years.
The imprisoned corpse began to feel resentment. He hated that the iron chain on his body was too heavy, imprisoning his body, and that the rune was too vicious, imprisoning his soul. But what he hated the most was those human beings, who made him restless until he died, spending day after day on the bottom of the river full of putrefaction, fish and shrimp.
This is not a cockroach, but his grievance after his death.
Fu Li heard Bai Ape tell the story of the scorpion. It is said that he is one of the sons of Shenlong. Because his biological mother is a tortoise, he looks like a dragon and a tortoise. He has a very lazy personality and likes to play in the water. Amuse the people or demons on the shore, if the other party gets his favor, he will send a gift, auspicious beast with a very interesting personality.
When he was a child, he also thought about how to make the other party happy if he met a cockroach, and then get a gift.
Unexpectedly, a random thought in childhood would meet this auspicious beast in such a way today.
Fu Xin felt very uncomfortable. He didn't know if he was sad for the cockroach or disappointed with the human beings. Worshiping gods is a way for humans to seek psychological protection. Carving stone statues is also a spiritual worship, but why put the bones of auspicious beasts in the stone statues and let them be imprisoned in water for so many years.
Don't they worship him and thank him, why would they do such a thing? !
The thick fog on the river surface gradually gathered into a human shape. This person was wearing a black robe, his eyes were red, and his long hair was casually scattered behind him.
After the death of Rui Beast, the resentment cultivated into a demon, and the demon in the form of resentment is destined to be evil by nature.
"Fu Li!" Zhuang Qing looked for it from nowhere, and when he saw the figure standing on the river, his expression changed slightly: "Pest?"
No, no, it's not a pit viper.
Back then, when the cockroach turned into a human shape and gave him the medicine pill, his clothes were fluttering, his hair was tied with a jade crown, and he came out of the dust. Although the evil monster in front of him looked exactly the same as the cockroach, the aura on his body was completely opposite to that of the cockroach.
"I'm not a stupid cockroach." The man in black raised his red lips, "But I don't have a name either, so you can call me cockroach."
"Is it your fault that the torrential rain doesn't stop nearby?" Zhuang Qing walked to Fu Li and looked at the man in black, "What do you want to do?"
"Do you know how many years I've been under water?" The man in black replied, "For 1,500 years, I hoped that humans would salvage me and waited day after day, but no, no!"
Zhuang Qing looked at him and said after a while, "It's not easy for you to transform your body through resentment. You act so unscrupulously, I'm afraid that you will soon disappear between heaven and earth. Is it worth it?"
"If it's like these 1,500 years, lying in the mud every day, it would be better to die happily." The man in black laughed wildly, "These greedy and selfish humans should have gotten their retribution."
"But those who sank you are dead." Fu Li asked, "Are you going to seek revenge for their descendants?"
Zhuang Qing turned to look at Fu Li, but he didn't know if he was telling the truth or whether he was lying to the grievances.
The man in black frowned: "What do you mean?"
"There are many innocent humans around. They don't owe you, so you can't hurt them. But what you owe others should be paid back. Those humans who did this kind of thing for their own selfishness should pay the price." Fu Li Pause for a moment, "Can you still find the descendants of those humans?"
The man in black was about to speak when suddenly footsteps were heard not far away. Fu Li forgot to go out through the thick fog. Among the reeds, there was a small child walking with difficulty. The back, front, chest and trouser legs were covered with mud. I don't know how many falls on the road.
The child seemed to be holding something in his arms, tied tightly with a plastic bag, and was protected by him like a baby.
Zhuang Qing raised his hand and made a barrier, hiding their figures behind the barrier.
Some human children still have biological instincts when they are young, so they can see some soul bodies or strange phenomena, but this ability will disappear with age and become no different from ordinary people.
And the children who have not disappeared may be included in the realm of self-cultivation and embark on a journey of cultivation.
When he was about to reach the river, the child fell again. This time, he was more unlucky. He rolled out like a watermelon, and his face was covered with mud. His whole body was no different from a clay figurine.
Fu Li turned to look at the man in black. He didn't expect that the man in black didn't respond. He let the child walk to the river with difficulty step by step.
The child tried to wipe the mud off the bag with his sleeve, but the sleeve was dirtier than the plastic bag. Finally, he simply took off his coat, rubbed vigorously in the water for a while, wringed out the water on it, and wiped the mud off the plastic pocket.
After wiping away the mud, the child opened the layers of plastic pockets and brought out a huge enamel cup. The enamel cup was printed with a welcoming pine pattern in a very old fashion.
Open the enamel cup, there is a chicken drumstick, and two steamed buns.
After finding three pebbles, the child solemnly placed the enamel cup on it.
