After the beginning of spring, Beijing is full of yellow sand, and the wind is so strong that it blows people away. As soon as the car turns, the side windows are covered with dust. Chi Xiaoduo and Chen Lang sit side by side in the back seat, not knowing for a while. What to say.
Chi Xiaoduo touched Chen Lang's hand to show comfort, Chen Lang was quiet for a while, then asked for a pen, and quickly wrote a long paragraph on the paper.
[The drive committee came in with a lot of high-ranking people, and Mr. Zhou was not there. The Bashan incident was thoroughly investigated and the case was overturned.]Chi Xiaoduo: "!!!"
Chen Lang signaled Chi Xiaoduo and Xiang Cheng not to interrupt, and continued to write: [After Mr. Zhou was brought back to Beijing, he was placed under house arrest with Sister Wanyuan, and their whereabouts are unknown. I don’t know where they were imprisoned. The specific content of the reversal of the case is about him. Guoan investigated Mr. Zhou and believed that he killed Xiang Cheng's father Xiang Jianhua. Lin Yurou also participated in Bashan's planned operation, and they launched a plan to kill their colleagues. Lin Yurou also instructed her great-grandson to take advantage of her power to kill many exorcists. ] "Who took over the power of the eviction committee?" Xiang Cheng asked.
Chi Xiaoduo translated it, and Chen Lang replied: [Master Qiao Yanqiao.]
Chi Xiaoduo: [Where is Lafayette?]
Chen Lang: [Under investigation, she may be tried. They have made a long list. It is said that the cause of death is related to Yan Fei. There are a lot of secrets, especially the inside story of the Battle of Bashan ten years ago. Only the elder brother can know the internal information, but the elder brother disappeared a week ago. They blocked all the news, even Kada didn't know.]Xiang Cheng said: "Call Koda immediately."
Chi Xiaoduo talked with Da Keda on the phone, but Da Da only answered that he knew, and hung up the phone.
Chen Lang quickly wrote: [Cao Bin is back and has been transferred to the Organization Department to take over his brother's position. All of them are watching me. ] Chi Xiaoduo's heart skipped a beat.
[Xuan Hezhi let me out.]Chen Lang said: [Let me go to Chongqing to find you, but you have already returned. ] "Do you know where Mr. Zhou is locked up?" Xiang Cheng asked.
After Chi Xiaoduo translated, Chen Lang shook his head, Xiang Cheng let out a long breath, leaned on his seat, and frowned.
[I saw their interrogation materials.]Chen Lang continued: [Zhou Maoguo and Lin Yurou conspired to set up a trap to find the whereabouts of the monster, and took Xiang Jianhua and Xiang Cheng as hostages to blackmail Yao Ji. Misjudgment in the Battle of Wushan resulted in the death of more than forty exorcists. In the end, Zhou Maoguo also killed Xiang Jianhua, who was protecting Yao Ji, which was their biggest crime.][Before the Battle of Bashan, there were several murders, all of which were ordered by Lin Yurou and ordered by Zhou Maoguo to execute them.]Chi Xiaoduo asked: [Who is in power in the deportation committee now? Master Joe? What strange behavior does he have?]Chen Lang:[He is now at the top of the expulsion committee. Committee. ] Chi Xiaoduo is already a little dizzy, who has the problem
Xiang Cheng asked: "Is there any festival between Qiao Yan and Lafayette?"
Chen Lang: [I don't know.]
Chen Lang was rarely involved in the personnel struggle of the expulsion committee, and it was useless to ask him. Xiang Cheng and Chi Xiaoduo were at a loss for a while.
"Where are you driving, Lang Dog?" Chi Xiaoduo found that the car was still driving around the Fourth Ring Road after getting on the elevated highway for a long time.
"I'm going for a ride." Lang Dog said happily.
"Where are you going?" Xiang Cheng said.
"A place to eat." Lang Dog replied.
"I'm busy with serious business, what are you eating?" Chi Xiaoduo said.
Lang Quan had no choice but to learn how to bark a few times, and was aggrieved to keep quiet.
Xiang Cheng thought for a while and said, "Let's eat first, and think of a way slowly."
Chi Xiaoduo held Chen Lang with one hand. Chen Lang was obviously anxious, but he couldn't think of any good solution. Chi Xiaoduo knew that Chen Lang must be very anxious now, just like the days when Xiang Cheng disappeared.
"Where to eat?" Xiang Cheng asked.
"Lang Dog chooses." Chi Xiaoduo said.
"Is Donglaishun okay?" Lang Quan asked in a huff.
Lang Quan likes to eat Donglaishun's mutton very much. The last time Zheng Quin invited him to dinner, Lang Quan could only wag his tail and order sheep's hooves and sheep's eyes.
"Yes..." Chi Xiaoduo replied.
He suddenly remembered one thing—is it best to go to Zheng Que first? But he didn't know where Zheng Quin lived.
Chi Xiaoduo held Chen Lang's hand, both of them were so exhausted that they fell asleep behind the car.
Xiang Cheng was always thinking, Lang Dog came to open the door when he was parking, looked at Chi Xiaoduo expectantly, Chi Xiaoduo rubbed his eyes, and shook Chen Lang awake.
[How long have you not slept? ] Chi Xiaoduo asked.
Chen Lang made a four-point comparison, and Lang Dog flew over to order food like an arrow off the string.
Xiang Cheng asked for a private room, and asked Chen Lang: [What did your brother say before he disappeared? ] Chen Lang: [We suspect that there is something wrong with the ghost fairy case.]
When the food was served, Chen Lang had no appetite at all, and he even made gestures, inferring him and Chen Zhen.
Chi Xiaoduo vaguely sensed something: [In other words, there are still people on the original special operations team?][yes.]Chen Lang replied: [According to our analysis, the Blood Demon has an internal response in the exorcism committee, but this internal response was intercepted by another mysterious person, who can know the order given by the Blood Demon. And this person is likely to be the mastermind behind the special operations team.]Xiang Cheng was silent for a moment, and then said: [This person meets several conditions: 1. Return the Wisdom Sword to me. Second, the design got Lafayette off the horse. 3. He knows the basics of the blood demon, so he can instigate Wang Lei.]Chen Lang:[Yes, Wang Lei was probably this person's confidant from the very beginning, Xiang Cheng, do you still remember the Wisdom Sword back then? If you can follow the clues of Wisdom Sword, or catch Wang Lei, maybe you can find this person.][Keep the change, please.]Xiang Cheng said:[I know who it is, I'll go see him later.]Chen Lang was shocked, Chi Xiaoduo said: "You... do you know who it is?"
"I can guess it." Xiang Cheng took food for Chen Lang and said, "I guarantee that your brother will be fine. If he doesn't... um... whether he sells Lafayette or not, he will be fine."
Chi Xiaoduo was about to translate, but Chen Lang roughly guessed it from the shape of Xiang Cheng's mouth.
[who is it?] Chen Lang asked.
Xiang Cheng tapped Chi Xiaoduo with a chopstick, and rowed along to his bag. Chi Xiaoduo looked puzzled, and unzipped the zipper, and Xiang Cheng's chopsticks landed on the Huntian Knife.
"I know everything about the Blood Demon." Xiang Cheng said, "He also has connections with the special operations team. This person has already eliminated Zhou Maoguo and Lin Yurou. The one who has benefited the most from the change in the power structure of the exorcism committee, besides Qiao Yan, will also Who is there? And Qiao Yan is from Zheng Que's faction, do you remember? He was the one who invited Zheng Que during the expulsion committee exam."
"But this cannot be the main evidence." Chi Xiaoduo said: "It's all based on their relationship as an inference, there is no fact."
"Do you remember a detail?" Xiang Cheng raised his eyebrows, drank a little wine with an indifferent expression, and said, "After returning to Beijing, this afternoon, I have been thinking about Li Ying."
"What?" Chi Xiaoduo said, his mind went blank.
Xiang Cheng: "You've become stupid, what are you doing looking at me all the time?"
"You're handsome." Chi Xiaoduo smiled, looking at Xiang Cheng's side face, Xiang Cheng kissed him, drank him a little white wine, and Chi Xiaoduo's face immediately became hot.
Xiang Cheng twirled his chopsticks by his temples, signaling that he wanted to.
Chi Xiaoduo had a discussion with Chen Lang, and Chen Lang asked, "Does that Fengshui master also know the ghost? How did he know about the Wisdom Sword?"
Chi Xiaoduo: "!!!"
"I'll invite you a ghost fairy..."
"The Qi family got the news from him, knowing the whereabouts of Wisdom Sword."
"As entrusted by others, it is a matter of loyalty..."
Several fragments flashed through Chi Xiaoduo's mind.
"He knows Zheng Que!" Chi Xiaoduo said in surprise.
"Yes." Xiang Cheng replied absent-mindedly: "Mr. Zheng passed the news to the Qi family through him. Li Ying knew something, but he didn't say anything. He just asked us to go back to Beijing to find Mr. Zheng."
Chi Xiaoduo quickly translated to Chen Lang, and Chen Lang's expression became serious.
"In your speculation, a is the blood demon, and b is old Zheng." Xiang Cheng motioned Chi Xiaoduo to translate to Chen Lang, and Chen Lang finally figured it out.
[What does he want to do?]Chen Lang quickly asked: [Now the drive committee has been controlled by him.]Chi Xiaoduo signaled to Chen Lang: [Mr. Zheng should not be a bad person.]
Chen Lang: [He must have a purpose, my brother was detained by him.]
Xiang Cheng: [Chen Zhen's matter is on me, don't be nervous. I don't care if he sold Lafayette or not, he regarded me as a friend at the beginning, no matter what he does now, I also regard him as a friend. The blood demon is dead, and the grievances ten years ago have nothing to do with him.]Chen Lang had no choice but to nod, and Xiang Cheng said to Lang Quan: "Lang Dog, you are with Xiao Lang recently and are responsible for protecting him." I'm sorry, Lang Dog will accompany you.]Chen Lang: [I want to go with you.]
Xiang Cheng waved his hand, Chi Xiaoduo refused to let Chen Lang follow him, he glanced at Xiang Cheng, Xiang Cheng expressed his peace of mind.
[Just feed it dog food.]Chi Xiaoduo laughed and said: [There is no need to cook specially for the dogs.]Chen Lang persisted to no avail, so he had to take off the ring and put it in Chi Xiaoduo's palm.
"If Mr. Zheng had captured Chen Zhen, his life would not be in danger." Chi Xiaoduo said to Xiang Cheng.
Xiang Cheng still didn't say a word, Chi Xiaoduo glanced at Chen Lang, Chen Lang only ate a little and stopped, and fell asleep on the table.
"What kind of person do you think Zheng Quin is?" Xiang Cheng said, "Is he benevolent or malicious?"
It was difficult for Chi Xiaoduo to judge. Xiang Cheng said: "Return the Sword of Wisdom to our hands. With so many designs, we killed the blood demon with our hands. Now it has infiltrated into the Exorcism Committee to settle the matter of Bashan..."
Chi Xiaoduo replied: "I always thought he was on our side."
"It's also possible." Xiang Cheng drank the wine in the glass, poured it again, and replied: "We both became his pawns unintentionally, and Zheng Que is the one who hides behind the highest level of the drive committee. Maybe for so many years, His arrangements have never stopped."
Chi Xiaoduo replied: "Yes, but for the three things of returning your Wisdom Sword, helping to exterminate the blood demon, and letting us go in the Exorcism Committee building, I think he has no malice towards us at the very least. .”
Xiang Cheng nodded and said, "Zheng Quin has been helping since we met. But there is one more thing I don't want to understand, that lightning bolt."
"It's also very likely that he didn't release the lightning." Chi Xiaoduo replied, "And the magic weapon we made hasn't been used yet."
Xiang Cheng took out the small totem from his jacket, looked at it, and neither of them spoke.
"Lang Dog." Xiang Cheng said, "Don't eat it."
Lang Quan glanced at the two of them, and Xiang Cheng said: "You send Xiao Lang home now and drive back. Keep him safe."
Lang Quan snorted, got up and shook Chen Lang, Chen Lang fell asleep, and Lang Dog took Chen Lang away.
The car started outside, and after leaving, Chi Xiaoduo said, "What shall we do now?"
"Pay the bill." Xiang Cheng said, "Someone will be here soon. If you guessed correctly, Zheng Qin's disciple is waiting outside for us to finish eating."
"How did he know we were going back to Beijing?" Chi Xiaoduo said.
Xiang Cheng snapped his fingers and signaled the waiter to come in and pay the bill. Sure enough, the waiter said, "Sir, the bill has been settled, and someone is waiting for you outside."
"Please come in." Xiang Cheng said casually.
A man came outside, wearing a Chinese tunic suit, standing at the door.
Chi Xiaoduo remembered that the last time he met him in the elevator, it was the disciple who was by Zheng Que's side.
Xiang Cheng poured a glass of wine and placed it by the table. The disciple nodded slightly, took it, drank it neatly, and the bottom of the cup lit up.
"My name is Tao Ran. Master invites two of you," said the disciple.
Xiang Cheng and Chi Xiaoduo got up, Xiang Cheng shook off his jacket and put it on for Chi Xiaoduo, and the two followed. At night, Beijing seemed to be shrouded in the power of a giant everywhere, and the strong wind that shuttled through the city was roaring. The trees beside the road were blown almost to pieces.
An extended red flag was parked in front of the street, and the two got into the car.
"Chun has a short neck." Tao Ran said, "Master knows that the two of you have no place to stay in Beijing, so please move."
Xiang Cheng hummed, put one hand on Chi Xiaoduo's lap, covered the back of Chi Xiaoduo's hand, and shook it slightly. Chi Xiaoduo looked into Xiang Cheng's eyes and read the word "rest assured" from his eyes.
The car drove away from the urban area, the two roads were dim, and then got on the expressway. It took several hours to drive, and no one spoke.
Until the car got off the highway and drove into a deserted village, a huge manor appeared under the moonlight. The manor covered an area of several square kilometers. The trees on both sides of the garden were almost crushed by the strong wind. The iron gate opened and the car drove into the manor Inside, Chi Xiaoduo saw two street lamps with strange shapes, and the lampshade was a special kind of defensive talisman.
When getting out of the car, wind and sand were blowing head-on, Xiang Cheng blocked Chi Xiaoduo's side, the two quickly stepped into the main entrance, and the gate slammed shut.
Chi Xiaoduo originally thought that according to Zheng Que's style, he should live in a Chinese-style luxury mansion, but he didn't expect it to be a westernized manor.
"Follow me," said the disciple.
Xiang Cheng and Chi Xiaoduo went upstairs, and the disciples took them outside the corridor. The two bodyguards signaled that they don't need to follow. Chi Xiaoduo took a look and felt a monster.
Both bodyguards are demons!
Chi Xiaoduo didn't dare to look with his long eyes, the door was opened, and Zhou Xuan's singing came out. The room was very spacious, and the fireplace was equipped with an electric heating device, emitting red light outward.
"came back?"
Zheng Que closed a book in his hand, and Xiang Cheng and Chi Xiaoduo bowed together.
"Let me see?" Zheng Quin said.
Chi Xiaoduo looked at Xiang Cheng, Xiang Cheng motioned to him, Chi Xiaoduo took out the illustrated book and the Huntian Knife from his bag, the bodyguard stepped forward to take it, and walked over to pass it to Zheng Quin.
"Come here." Zheng Que said slowly, "The old man is afraid of the cold, and the stove is still lit in April."
The two walked over, Zheng Que was about to draw the knife out of its sheath, but Chi Xiaoduo said: "The power of the blood demon is still inside, and the resentment is very heavy."
"Yes." Zheng Que replied with satisfaction: "I know that entrusting this matter to you will surely succeed..."
"Did the ghost tell you?" Chi Xiaoduo asked suddenly.
Zheng Que smiled, shook his head, and looked back at Chi Xiaoduo.
"Brother's business is finally over." Zheng Que took off his sunglasses, looked at the fire thoughtfully, and then put the Huntian Knife aside.
In the silence, Xiang Cheng said, "Is there anything else you can order?"
"I avenged your parents." Zheng Qin said slowly.
Xiang Cheng and Chi Xiaoduo were shocked at the same time, and Zheng Que said again: "I wanted to go to the Bashan battle back then, but it's a pity that I can't move because of my old bones."
"You also know..." Xiang Cheng trembled.
"Of course I know." Zheng Que didn't look at the two of them, and said with a smile: "My master has lived his whole life, and until he died, he still thought about the crap that the master had a traitor. Now that you two are helping our sect to kill the traitor, what should I do?" Just say thank you."
"It should." Xiang Cheng replied.
"But." Zheng Que said to himself again: "The disciples of my school are not up to date. The matter in the sect that should have been resolved by me in the Jiuhua sect is now entrusted to two brothers outside the sect to solve it. If word gets out... hey."
Zheng Que laughed and looked at Xiang Cheng.
Chi Xiaoduo didn't understand why, so he replied, "We will keep the secret for you."
Xiang Cheng waved his hand, signaling Chi Xiaoduo not to speak, thought for a while, and replied: "My father said before his death that the Xiang family is the descendant of King Fudoming, and the younger generation has a heart, but it really can't fulfill the name of Mr. Zheng as an apprentice, otherwise it would be very difficult. OK."
"Of course I don't dare." Zheng Qun snorted, then looked at Chi Xiaoduo.
When Chi Xiaoduo saw Zheng Que's golden dragon pupil, he was a little at a loss, then looked at Xiang Cheng, wondering what Zheng Que meant? He suddenly realized, did Zheng Que want to accept him as an apprentice
"Xiao Duo is a good boy." Zheng Que said.
"Are you willing?" Xiang Cheng asked Chi Xiaoduo.
Chi Xiaoduo's heart beat wildly, and he probably understood what Zheng Quin meant.
"I... I have to think about it." Chi Xiaoduo said, "Mr. Zheng, your request... It's so sudden, I never thought about it."
"Alright." Zheng Que said, "Back then, the teacher asked you to make a Huntian Knife, an illustration book, and find a demon seed, and now you have brought them all."
"Your statement is wrong." Xiang Cheng said, "Old Zheng, there is only one demon seed in the world."
"There are many demon seeds." Zheng Que said, "From the one in your heart, you can project more demon seeds. The first level is lower than the first level. You don't understand now. When you become a demon, the demon will be born." The strength is like a dandelion, multiplying."
"One life is two, two is three, and three is all things." Zheng Que sighed, and said, "Where there is resentment, it is the soil of the demon seed. It will take root and sprout in it, and feed back the demon, which is you in the future."
Xiang Cheng's expression changed a little, and Zheng Qun said again: "The old man would take the liberty to ask, do you want to keep it?"
"No." Xiang Cheng replied, "I'm fine now."
Zheng Que said: "Back then, my master developed a spell, hoping to separate it for Brother Ding."
Chi Xiaoduo held his breath, thinking that's great!
"But this spell has never been used." Zheng Que shook his head and sighed: "I just watched him getting deeper and deeper, powerless, and finally used a method that would hurt both sides. It was also helpful to find six magical artifacts for your family earlier. This plan, after all, Fudo Mingwang's power is the only thing in the world that can threaten the Heavenly Demon."
"If you can find all six magic weapons." Zheng Que said: "If you separate the demon seed for you, maybe you can destroy it smoothly. Since one is missing right now, we have to adopt the method of sealing it in the future and temporarily seal it up. "
"That is to say, Mr. Zheng, do you want to help us separate the demon seed?" Chi Xiaoduo asked.
Zheng Que didn't speak, Xiang Cheng replied: "Let's talk, Xiaoduo, Mr. Zheng is tired."
"Forget it." Zheng Que said: "The children need to think about it, and the old man needs to think about it too, so let's think about it each. You all stay with me these days. You can't go back to the driving committee, wait for me Let's clean them up."
Chi Xiaoduo said: "Is the expulsion committee... also Teacher Zheng's arrangement?"
Zheng Que said: "The two of you helped me a lot with Jiuhuamen. The old man is very grateful for the Xiang family's love. He avenged the old grievances for you, why?"
"No." Chi Xiaoduo said nervously: "After we come back, I want to contact Chen Zhen..."
"That kid is a tiger's minion." Zheng Qin said slowly, "Helping the tyrant and the tyrant, Zhou Maoguo and Lin Yurou have a lot of things in his hands. Fortunately, he found his way back, and now he has changed his mind and agreed to help me."
Chi Xiaoduo: "..."
Xiang Cheng said: "That's pretty good, I've seen that group of people not pleasing to the eye for a long time."
Zheng Que said: "You two want to intercede for him? I never thought of touching him. He will go back after the matter is over."
Chi Xiaoduo replied: "I... at least report to Xiao Lang that he is safe. I haven't seen you for so long, Xiao Lang should be very worried."
Zheng Que said: "He can't show his face right now. You can tell his younger brother that if you can trust me, he will go back after the expulsion committee is over. What should you do? If you two want to see him, I will arrange a time for him You guys just met."
Chi Xiaoduo hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "En."
Zheng Que put on the sunglasses, Chi Xiaoduo wanted to say more, but Xiang Cheng signaled him not to say anything, and replied, "Then I will leave."
Zheng Que nodded slowly, and when Xiang Cheng was about to leave with Chi Xiaoduo, he suddenly asked again.
"Teacher, I want to go out with Xiaoduo these few days." Xiang Cheng said, "Can I leave?"
Zheng Que turned his back to the two of them and smiled, but they couldn't see his expression.
"Of course." Zheng Que said, "Just give me an order, and the family's car is at your disposal."
"Okay." Xiang Cheng closed the door smoothly.
Tao Ran waited at the end of the corridor, made a gesture of invitation, and prepared a room for them. It was already late at night when he fell asleep, and after closing the door, Chi Xiaoduo looked left and right, a little worried.
"He won't monitor us here." Xiang Cheng replied, "It's just superfluous."
"I think he's a bit scary tonight." Chi Xiaoduo said.
Xiang Cheng hummed absently, and replied, "He still likes you very much, and wants to take you as his apprentice."
Chi Xiaoduo asked, "Should I agree?"
Xiang Cheng didn't answer, thought for a while, and asked, "Do you think he wants to make a deal with us?"
"What deal?" Chi Xiaoduo asked.
"He didn't agree to cast spells for us in the end." Xiang Cheng replied: "I guess maybe it means a deal. You worship him as your teacher, and he will exorcise the demon seeds for me. If he wants to find a chance to talk to you alone, you can do it." go."
