Over the course of one night, Ning Tao tried more than a dozen different combinations of runes, but unfortunately none of them were successful. That typo of a rune was just a coincidence, it could even be said to be a once-in-a-lifetime coincidence, just like the worm-eaten apple that hit Newton's head, the only one in the world. .
After working hard all night, Ning Tao came to a conclusion.
It is possible to get a usable spell by randomly combining runes, but the chance is much smaller than the chance of winning a random special prize at a lottery station. Pulling out the talisman from the typographic board was undoubtedly a special prize, and it was also a little reward for the Tiankeng Clinic who had deceived him for so long.
Ning Tao threw all the scrapped talismans into the Meixiang Cauldron, preparing to reheat them into pulp and then make spiritual paper.
"Doctor Ning, are you there?" A childish voice came from outside the door.
This voice sounded familiar. Ning Tao thought of someone, but he was not sure. He walked to the door and opened it. He looked over and saw two young men, a boy and a girl, standing in the empty Hakka alley. They were Bai Sheng's two young disciples, Wu Xiaolin and Liu Xian'er.
In the morning light, the young man has delicate features and the young girl is graceful and quiet. They are such a golden boy and beautiful girl. When people see them, they can't help but feel close to them and love them.
It's a pity that they are Bai Sheng's disciples.
During the battle at Kumu Temple, Bai Sheng's life and death were unknown, but he was presumed to have escaped. Tianwai Clinic has never moved is living proof. Unexpectedly, these two disciples of Bai Sheng came to the door inexplicably.
Ning Tao was suspicious, but he said calmly: "How do you know I'm here?"
Wu Xiaolin gave Ning Tao a fist-cup salute and said, neither humble nor arrogant: "Doctor Ning, Senior Sister Bai has been here, of course we know."
"Where is your master?" Ning Tao asked tentatively.
Liu Xianer also gave Ning Tao a fist salute and said crisply: "Doctor Ning, our master is going to hold a science and technology forum at the Jinquan Hotel tomorrow. There will be a cocktail party. Master asked us to send invitations and invite Dr. Ning to go tomorrow. Participate in technology forums.”
Ning Tao sneered, "Technology forum? Don't you know what your master is? A thousand-year-old snake demon actually learns how to hold technology forums, and is not afraid of people's jokes?"
Wu Xiaolin and Liu Xianer looked calm and did not show any signs of being angry because Ning Tao mocked Bai Sheng.
Ning Tao continued: "You two have good qualifications. I don't think you are bad people. Why do you want to follow him?"
Wu Xiaolin took out the invitation, held it in both hands and handed it to Ning Tao, "Doctor Ning, please accept the invitation."
Ning Tao didn't move, feeling like he hated iron for not being able to become steel.
Liu Xian'er said crisply: "Dr. Ning, once a teacher, always a father, no matter whether our master is a demon or a human being, or what he has done, he will always be our master. What you said , we can only listen and dare not comment.”
This was a very decent thing to say, and it made it difficult for Ning Tao to say anything else. After all, there were only two children standing in front of him, and they were not bad in nature. He couldn't kill them with two swords, right
Wu Xiaolin bent down a little more and said, "Doctor Ning, please accept the invitation."
Ning Tao still confiscated the invitation and said, "Take it back. Your master invited me to participate in the science and technology forum. Drinking is just a pretense. I know exactly what he wants to do. Bring a message back and I will come find him."
But Wu Xiaolin was still holding the invitation in both hands, motionless, as if Ning Tao didn't accept it and he would remain in this posture until the first day of the first lunar month next year.
Ning Tao frowned slightly, which was tantamount to forcing him to accept the invitation in disguise.
"Doctor Ning, just accept it. If you don't accept this invitation, we won't be able to explain it to Master when we go back. He will punish us." Liu Xian'er said, with a begging tone in her voice.
Ning Tao's heart moved, and he awakened the smelling and smelling state of his eyes and nose. At this sight, he suddenly understood. This pair of teenagers, Wu Xiaolin and Liu Xianer, both have golden snake poison on their bodies. Like Bai Jing, they were all bewitched by Bai Sheng. If they violated the law even slightly, they would be punished. Bai Jing couldn't bear it and was in pain, let alone them.
"Doctor Ning, please accept the invitation." Wu Xiaolin also begged softly.
Ning Tao ended the viewing and hearing state of his eyes and nose, reached out to take the invitation, and said calmly: "You two were planted with golden snake poison by the White Saint. You are not willing to do things for him. Am I right? ?”
Wu Xiaolin and Liu Xianer's expressions condensed slightly, and then they looked at each other again, but they didn't say anything.
Ning Tao said: "I can remove the golden snake poison from you now, and you will be free like your senior sister Bai Jing. Are you willing?"
The expressions of Liu Xian'er and Wu Xiaolin suddenly changed, and they said in unison: "Doctor Ning, I'm leaving."
Ning Tao waved his hand, "Let's go, let's bring my words to your master. I won't participate in his crappy technology forum, but I will find him and ask him to clean his neck."
Wu Xiaolin hesitated and said, "Dr. Ning, our master said that he also invited one of your friends, Lin Qinghua, to participate."
Ning Tao stared straight at Wu Xiaolin, "Are you telling the truth?"
Wu Xiaolin nodded.
"And Mr. Lin's sister Lin Qingyu." Liu Xian'er added.
"I also ask Dr. Ning to come early tomorrow. My master said there is some misunderstanding with you. I hope I can talk to you and clear up the past misunderstandings." Wu Xiaolin said.
"Doctor Ning, farewell." Liu Xian'er gave Ning Tao a fist salute and turned to leave, followed by Wu Xiaolin.
Ning Tao watched Liu Xian'er and Wu Xiaolin walk out of Hakka Alley, then took out his mobile phone and dialed Lin Qinghua's mobile number.
Lin Qinghua's cell phone was turned off and no one answered.
Ning Tao then dialed Lin Qingyu's mobile phone number.
A few seconds later, Lin Qingyu's voice came from the phone, "Hey! The sun is coming out in the west. I thought you had forgotten me, but I didn't expect you to call me. Are you okay? I'll hang up if you're okay. ”
She was still angry with Ning Tao.
A woman takes the initiative to call a man and doesn't answer the phone for more than a dozen times. How can she not be angry
Ning Tao smiled bitterly, "Still angry? There is a reason why I didn't answer your call."
"What's the reason? I want to hear it." Lin Qingyu's voice.
"Did you receive an invitation from a man named Bai Sheng to come to Guancheng to participate in a technology forum?" Ning Tao said.
"Changing the subject again, I don't understand what I did wrong. I called you so many times, but you didn't answer any of them. Do you hate me so much?" Lin Qingyu's voice was filled with resentment, and A touch of sadness.
Ning Tao didn't know what to say. Among the three women except Qing Zhui, Lin Qingyu, Jiang Hao and Zhao Wushuang, if he had to choose a partner to date, even get married and have children, he would prefer Jiang Hao. He has never been the kind of man who has a lot of things to do with his feet. He is good with this one, good with that one, and dominates all three. Doesn't that make him a scumbag? Qing Zhui is an exception. She is his demon slave, his destined concubine, not his wife. Therefore, after Lin Qingyu confessed to him, he deliberately distanced himself from Lin Qingyu and Zhao Wushuang. In fact, Zhao Wushuang sometimes called him, but he did not answer it.
But how could he tell Lin Qingyu about such a reason
"say something?"
"My phone fell off." It was really hard to explain. Ning Tao gave such a reason that even he himself didn't believe.
Lin Qingyu was silent for a few seconds, "Really?"
"real."
"Okay, I believe you."
Ning Tao, "..."
They say women are easy to coax, but sometimes people actually want to be coaxed.
"What did you just say?" Lin Qingyu's mood was obviously much better.
Ning Tao said: "I just asked you if you received an invitation from a person named Bai Sheng to come to Guancheng to participate in a technology forum?"
"Yes, but actually I wasn't invited, it was Takeda Tamao. My father insisted on me coming, saying that since we are partners, we must be sincere as partners. Although we are engaged in biopharmaceuticals, we are also a technology company, so We should participate in large-scale science and technology forums, which will also be beneficial to the development of the joint venture company.”
"You really started a company with the Takeda family?" Although he wasn't surprised, Ning Tao couldn't help but want to ask to make sure.
"Of course, the joint venture will be headquartered in Japan. There will be a branch in Mancheng, managed by people from Takeda Pharmaceutical. There will also be a branch in Yamashiro, which will be managed by me."
"Did that Bai Sheng mention your brother?" Ning Tao asked.
"No, do you have any news about my brother? Tell me quickly." Lin Qingyu's voice was anxious.
"No." Ning Tao said, thinking back on what Wu Xiaolin and Liu Xian'er said, he felt more and more strange about this matter.
"My brother..." Lin Qingyu hesitated.
Ning Tao comforted him: "Don't worry, your brother will be fine. I've been looking for him. I'll tell you if I have any news."
"Well, by the way, how did you know that I was going to attend the Asian Technology Forum?"
Ning Tao opened the invitation and took a look, and sure enough he saw the word "Asian Science and Technology Forum". He said: "I happened to be invited too. The person who sent me the invitation told me that you were also invited, so I called to ask. you."
"It's not a technology forum, why would you be invited as a doctor?" Lin Qingyu's voice was full of curiosity.
"I don't know either."
"Then where are you now? I'm on my way to the airport. I'll pick you up."
Ning Tao said: "I'm in Guancheng, what time is your flight and I'll pick you up?"
"The plane leaves at 11 noon and will arrive in Guancheng at 2 pm. Come pick me up and let's have a good chat." Lin Qingyu said.
"Okay, see you at the airport in the afternoon." Ning Tao hung up the phone, and then he called Bai Jing, Qing Zhui and Yin Molan in turn.
After ending the call, he returned to Tianwai Clinic. He prepared everything he needed and put it into a small medicine box. After that, he opened the door of convenience and came to Jiange Cave.
An hour later, Qing Zhui, Bai Jing and Yin Molan arrived at the Jiange Cave.
Ning Tao got straight to the point: "Sheng Bai showed up and invited me to participate in the technology forum he hosted."
"Isn't this the Hongmen Banquet?" Yin Molan said.
Ning Tao said: "We still don't know what he is up to, but this is also an opportunity to kill him. I will go to the forum tomorrow, and you will support him outside, but don't act rashly, and act according to my signals."
Bai Jing asked: "What signal?"
Ning Tao thought for a moment, "I'll send you a text message."
Bai Jing looked at Ning Tao, her eyes seemed to say something to Ning Tao.
