After the meeting, Lin left surrounded by many staff and bodyguards without staying too long, while Shi Zhuoqu stayed to deal with the follow-up work.
The magicians in the venue did not disperse, Meiru Z looked around, and she got up first: "Since there are still screenings in G City and H Country, then we..."
"Isn't this Master Mei!" A surprised voice came from the side.
When Mei Ru Z saw the person coming, her face immediately turned cold, and she subconsciously clicked her tongue, revealing her impatience.
Tan Muxing recognized Huang Jue, the other party had failed in the first test, he showed hesitation: "Do sister Ru Z know him?"
Huang Jue seemed to be very quack, and frequently found fault in the examination room, but now he greeted him enthusiastically, which naturally made others feel strange.
Mei Ru Z frowned: "I don't know."
Chu Qianli watched the play with great interest, she quickly understood the relationship between the two parties, and joked: "How can a beautiful woman know such a posted person?"
Huang Jue said enthusiastically: "Meimei, I didn't expect you to come too. Which examination room did you take the first test? I didn't see you!"
"Please don't call me that." Meru Z was quite alienated, "It feels very awkward."
Mei Ruz once went to Northeast China to pick up jobs. At that time, she met Huang Jue by chance, and her circle of friends was small, so she gradually became familiar with her.
"Since you are here, otherwise, when you arrive in City G, everyone will act together!" Huang Jue said, "You are not always lazy to deal with people, but after listening to it just now, you should understand that this matter cannot be settled by one person."
Huang Jue had just heard about the New Era Project, and he had a premonition that he would meet a foreign team. He might not be able to fight alone, and he had to be the first to condense into a force.
Mei Ru Z declined: "I have a team."
Huang Jue was taken aback when he heard this. He was busy chatting with Mei Ru Z just now, and then he noticed the two people beside him, and recognized Chu Qianli and Tan Muxing.
Mei Ru Z took the initiative to introduce: "This is my teammate."
Huang Jue was surprised, and questioned: "... aren't they examiners?"
Huang Jue clearly remembered that Chu Qianli and Tan Muxing were the examiners in the No. 3 examination room, but now they suddenly became Meiru Z's teammate again!
Meru Z: "?"
Chu Qianli is worthy of being a master of acting, she spoke casually, and calmly said: "We are helping to watch the first test, and we will be the same as you in the future. No one on the stage just said anything."
Tan Muxing bowed his head silently, admiring the little liar's acting skills.
"So that's it." Huang Jue suddenly realized, "Then there are not many of you, you can all join us!"
Huang Jue seems to have a good prestige in the circle. He has already pulled up a team and wants to win over the three of them. Mei Ru Z was already quite famous. Chu Qianli and Tan Muxing had been examiners, and their level was obviously not bad. These were the three generals.
Mei Ru Z frowned: "...No need."
Huang Jue: "Hey, Meimei, don't be too polite..."
"It's only a moment to go into the devil, and it is actually a wise move for them to refuse your invitation."
A group of Taoist priests came together, Xu Zaiyuan stood behind with his sword on his back, and the young Taoist priest who spoke was in front: "My name is Liu Jun. If the three of you are willing, you can go with Qianmen."
Mei Ru Z: "Sorry, I don't really want to deal with Taoist priests."
Huang Jue said angrily: "Keep your mouth clean, who is going to be a demon!"
Liu Jun is neither humble nor overbearing: "Mr. Huang, in the age of the Dharma, if you mistake Xie Nong for a fairy family, I'm afraid it will not go well."
Sure enough, the Chumaxian and the Taoist priests could not reconcile, and they were about to fight in a few words.
Seeing the atmosphere of the scene, Chu Qianli held onto Tan Muxing with one hand and Meiru Z with the other, and decided to retreat: "Let them quarrel, slip away!"
Taking advantage of the confrontation between Huang Jue, Liu Jun and the others, the three of them rushed out of the venue in a hurry, and finally they were able to return to cleanliness.
Mei Ru Z said annoyedly: "That's why I don't like to chat too much with people in the circle. These people form groups everywhere. If you ignore them, you will be tightly entangled. You must come out and stand in a team."
Chu Qianli reassured: "It's all like this, isn't this what they call the Dharma-ending era?"
Tan Muxing heard the familiar name, and asked curiously: "What is the end of the Dharma Era? I seem to have heard Brother Yu mention it."
Yu Yu said it in a chat before, and the Taoist priest mentioned it just now, which naturally confused him.
"To put it simply, our current living environment is different from the past. Most people's blessings are shallow but their karma is extremely deep. They seem to have more abundant resources, but they are lost in materialistic desires and fall into endless disputes." Chu Qian Li tilted her head, "I used to be able to be satisfied by eating enough, but now there is no moment of satisfaction. If you have no money, you want to be rich, and if you have money, you want to be richer. You will always be selfish, selfish and plundering everywhere, even at the expense of hurting others." other people."
"This kind of situation will also radiate to the metaphysical circle, such as choosing Buddhism and Taoism for self-interest, commercialization of various temples and Taoist temples, or bluffing and deceiving under the banner of immortals, and obtaining supernatural powers through irregular channels. It looks like righteousness, but it is actually a mistake. Harmful people are already on the road of no return, but they mistakenly think that they are right." Chu Qianli spread his hands, "Even practitioners criticize each other, and even become more evil, so some people say that in the age of the end of Dharma, all living beings are demons."
Tan Muxing was silent for a moment, then asked: "Then what is correct?"
Chu Qianli shook his head: "I'm not sure either. According to what they said, it's very difficult to get along with different people in the Dharma-ending era. The next step is to cross people, but how to cross them so that you can realize yourself."
"Do what you should do, pay less attention to those boring people, and don't be led by the nose, and you will be able to stay away from misfortune." Mei Ru Z concluded, "It's good to manage yourself, as for whether you can't get over others, let it go!"
Chu Qianli clapped happily with Mei Ru Z: "That's right!"
Tan Muxing saw that they hit it off, and didn't know what to say for a while.
The three of them discussed the itinerary to G City. They did not plan to follow Shi Zhuoqu and others, and finally chose Tanjia's private jet, at least there would be no twists and turns during the journey.
Chu Qianli said goodbye to Mei Ru Z, watched her drive away in the sports car, and then followed Tan Muxing back. She noticed that the people around her were a little distracted, and asked suspiciously, "Xing Xing, what's wrong?"
"No..." Tan Muxing hurried back to his senses, he hesitated to speak, and lowered his eyes, "I was just thinking about what you just said."
"The Age of Doom?"
"Well, I'm thinking of a way to cross people." Tan Muxing felt that the world was so bad, it seemed that something had to be done.
Chu Qianli blinked, and said unexpectedly: "Why do you want to cross people? You have already crossed people?"
Tan Muxing was stunned: "Who did I cross?"
Chu Qianli cheered and said, "Get over me."
Tan Muxing heard that she was confident, he was instantly blown away by the words, and stammered blushingly: "No, no, I don't even understand metaphysics, how could I get you..."
He really doesn't understand what the Taoists are saying now. First, the Taoist priests talked about the end of the Dharma, so why did they suddenly say "Cross her"
Chu Qianli looked sincere: "Yes, although the stars don't understand metaphysics at all, laymen sometimes touch more essential things by mistake."
"Well, how should I describe it, it's like punching a teacher to death, we are still calculating the karma seriously, but you may have reached the end in a daze." Chu Qianli smiled, "Because you don't think it's wrong to do so. Shan, you think these things are justified, and this kind of unconsciousness can be called crossing people."
Chu Qianli said softly: "It is not good to care about rewards, but no one in this era can ignore rewards, even me. Xingxing thinks our abilities are very powerful, but in many religions, magic or psychic powers are confusing The devil of the human heart, it makes people mistakenly think that they are on the right track, but in fact it is only the beginning of the fall."
So she used to be right in thinking she had no future.
"So no matter if it's me, the horse fairy, or the Taoist priest, maybe you can't go as far as you, even though you claim to be ignorant of metaphysics."
Tan Muxing lowered her head uneasily: "... I will be embarrassed if you flatter me like this."
"I'm telling the truth!" Chu Qianli said happily, "But I'm not that easy to cross, and you've only completed half of it."
Tan Muxing was infected by her overflowing joy, and he couldn't help showing a smile at the corner of his mouth, pursing his lips and saying: "Okay, then I will continue to work hard."
He didn't know whether she was serious or coaxing him. Maybe he didn't have the ability to cross people, but as long as she said it, he would choose to believe it.
Chu Qianli bowed back, and said obediently: "Then please talk about Master."
The two looked at each other and smiled.
Not long after, Monderson held a second round of screening in G City.
At the airport, just as Chu Qianli and the others got off the plane, they received a call from Jin Xiaoyuan.
Mei Ru Z yawned sleepily from behind, Chu Qianli heard a familiar voice and asked, "Uncle Jin?"
"Yes." Tan Muxing nodded helplessly, and persuaded, "Uncle Jin, we have something to do when we come back this time, we may not be able to meet you, so we have to go directly to the residence..."
Mondsen Group arranges accommodation for domestic and foreign magicians, and they will concentrate in a certain villa area to complete the second round of screening.
Jin Xiaoyuan said anxiously: "Mu Xing, I've seen the place you are going to. That villa area is unlucky and you can't live there. Don't lose your temper as a kid. You should stay at the hotel where you were last time!"
Chu Qianli: "Unlucky?"
"That's a famous haunted house in the local area, why are you going there!?" Jin Xiaoyuan's voice was very loud, talking about Mu Xing's secret, others could hear it.
Mei Ru Z took out her mobile phone and searched for the address. She looked at the webpage and said calmly: "Someone on the Internet said that someone died in the elevator of the villa."
Jin Xiaoyuan: "I heard from my friend that the house over there has been haunted by ghosts, and then I don't know who it was sold to. What are you doing there?"
"There is indeed one thing..." Tan Muxing couldn't explain it, and comforted him, "Uncle Jin, maybe outsiders made a fuss, there should be no ghosts in the world."
"I'd rather believe it or not. In short, don't live in that kind of place. Don't care if there are ghosts or not. I feel uncomfortable."
Chu Qianli said viciously: "If there is a ghost, I will smash its head. I am a Marxist believer and I can't hear this!"
Tan Muxing: "?" Good guy, are you more fierce than a ghost
Mei Ru Z: "However, this is in line with the second round of screening. Immortals and Taoist priests are directly driven in. If anyone dares to stay at that time, they will be automatically filtered and screened."
Jin Xiaoyuan found that Tan Muxing and the others could not be dissuaded, so he had no choice but to compromise powerlessly, and urged him to call him if the group changed their minds, and immediately adjust their residences for them.
Tan Muxing hurriedly thanked: "Thank you, Uncle Jin, for your trouble."
Chu Qianli joked: "If you don't work hard in the second round of screening, you can only go home and stay in a five-star hotel!"
Meiru Z: "To be honest, after I searched the information on the Internet, I always wanted to choose a five-star hotel. It seems that the occupancy rate is extremely low due to the haunted house. Maybe the facilities inside are in disrepair."
Although the three of them had some opinions on the villa area of the haunted house, they still arrived at the prescribed residence by car after thinking about the baby stone and the relics of country H.
Candidates can only live in the villa area, Uncle Qi and others are not easy to enter, and even the staff of the Mondsen Group are very few.
There was only one listless, shriveled old man in the lobby. He slowly checked the identities of the three of them, and turned away Uncle Qi and others who were not on the registration form.
Uncle Qi was dissatisfied: "Why can't we enter?"
"There is a way for them to go in, do you have a way for you to go in?" The old man looked at Uncle Qi slowly, and persuaded, "Young man, it is better for you if you don't go in. Look at those organized people, didn't they go in too?" ?”
Chu Qianli and the others looked around. Sure enough, they saw Mondsen's staff, but they basically stopped at the entrance of the lobby. Only the magicians walked in with their luggage.
"Grandpa, how long have you been working here? Are there really ghosts here?" Chu Qianli asked.
"It's been many years. I can't answer your question. To be honest, I don't go in often. I just arranged to clean it not long ago..." The old man rolled up his trouser legs and showed them the blood scar, "drawing a line for no reason. , is really evil!"
"However, some people lived in it before, and they ran out at night to call for help, and they didn't know what they saw. You should be fine if you stay honest. Anyway, I have been working night shift for so many years, so far there is no problem."
Meiru Z: "But it's only on duty at the gate."
The old man had never really lived in a villa, after all, he was on the edge of the villa area.
"Yes, if you have something to call me at night, I will stay here all the time. There are people in charge of eating and drinking during the day, but they leave work at night."
Chu Qianli and the others waved goodbye to Uncle Qi, then took their luggage into the villa area, and found that there were many hills stretching among them. There is a villa on each hill, and the villas are connected by small roads, which are similar to some hotel villas.
There is usually a buffet in the lobby where everyone goes through the formalities, and various entertainment areas are also set up. If you want to eat, you need to walk from the villa on the hill. There will be a car to pick up and drop off during the day, and no one will drive at night.
"Where is that elevator?" Chu Qianli followed Meiru Z out, looking left and right curiously, looking for traces of the ominous elevator.
"It doesn't seem to be here. I read it casually on the Internet. The news doesn't even have a topographic map of the interior. I don't know if it's true or not."
There are countless heavy cardboard boxes piled up at the entrance of the lobby, among which are all kinds of common materials, which are stacked high. Apparently this place doesn't usually accept guests, and everything is prepared only recently.
The three of them stood at the door waiting for the car to go up the mountain. They went through the formalities together in a team and were arranged in a villa. The hill villa has two floors, it happens that Chu Qianli and Meiru Z live on the second floor, and Tan Muxing lives on the first floor.
While waiting for the bus, Chu Qianli looked at the undulating hills in the distance. She had an occupational disease and began to think about it, thinking: "I always feel that Fengshui is awkward..."
At this time, another group of people came out from the lobby to wait for the bus. They turned out to be foreign warlocks with deep hair and blue eyes.
Seeing this, the two sides were slightly taken aback, and then fell silent at the same time.
Although the Monderson Group has long said that this trip is a global selection, it is indeed the first time for Chu Qianli and others to meet overseas opponents.
Mei Ru Z didn't know much about Western mysticism. She glanced at the other party's fancy dress and the golden eagle necklace on their bodies, and asked hesitantly, "What is this research for?"
Chu Qianli shook his head: "I only understand Western astrology, but they seem to be mages."
There are also many branches of Western mysticism. Just like China has orthodox Taoist priests and celestial beings, foreigners study different methods, and it is impossible to immediately identify the method.
Mei Ru Z's appearance and temperament are eye-catching, and Chu Qianli and Mu Xing seem harmless, which frequently attracts this group of foreign warlocks to look at them maliciously, and even communicate in whispers.
Mei Ru Z has always had an amazing intuition. She couldn't understand what the warlocks said, and said displeasedly: "I can judge by my feeling that they didn't say anything good."
Chu Qianli overheard a sentence, and complained dissatisfiedly: "These stinky foreigners actually think that if we stay for one night, we will be frightened and want to run away!"
It was the first time she met such a rude guy.
These foreign warlocks mocked the three of them for not being able to fight, thinking that Chu Qianli and the others were just paper.
Tan Muxing corrected rigorously: "No, no, no, they only said that we would be scared away, there are no such adjectives as shit..."
"Why can you all understand!?" Mei Ru Z was surprised, and then suddenly realized, "By the way, you just finished the college entrance examination, and I have the lowest IQ!"
The foreign magician noticed that the three people were strange, and they didn't expect to be understood, so they slowly closed their mouths.
However, Chu Qianli must retaliate. She switched the language with one click, and laughed directly: "You don't need to stay for one night, you only stay for half a night, and you will run away like shit!"
Mei Ru Z was confused and asked for advice: "Wait, what did you say again, I see their faces are turning blue..."
Talking about Mu Xing's inability to support his forehead, he complained in a low voice: "...every time like this, I feel that she is not bad at studying, and she can even translate the shit in a foreign language vividly."
Chu Qianli has a good language talent, and her English was quite good when she was in school. There are elective courses in the school, and she has also listened to a few lessons of Spanish, but she didn't stop fighting because of the language barrier. Don't look at the bad grades, the practice can be described as first-class.
Unexpectedly, the foreign mage was sharp-tongued, and he stepped forward angrily, but was stopped by his companions.
"Okay, Joe..."
Joe with deep blue eyes shot back angrily: "As mages taking the exam, you don't even have patron saints around you, how could you spend the night here!?"
Foreign warlocks made such evaluations because they didn't see anything. In their sect, everyone should have a patron saint around them, so they can see some strange energies.
Tan Muxing translated the words to Meiru Z who couldn't understand.
Mei Ru Z had a strange expression on her face: "What patron saint? Who wants to popularize science and what these people learn? Or explain it in oriental terms?"
Tan Muxing tentatively asked: "Should it mean that we have no religious belief? Then we can't see energy around us?"
Meiru Z: "... What kind of messy energy, are you sure it's not their eyes that have problems?"
Chu Qianli and Meiru Z are both engaged in divination, they do not study supernatural magic, nor do they have any religious beliefs.
Chu Qianli has met colleagues with faith before, but the real masters never give advice to others. They understand that whether they believe in it or not, they have their own fate, and it is the most uncomfortable thing to meddle in things.
Chu Qianli talked about Mu Xing, not to be outdone, she fought back in a foreign language: "As illiterates who don't understand the freedom of religious belief, you don't even have guardians around you, how can you spend the night here!?"
The guardian who was suddenly pulled out: "?"
Qiao said angrily, "Who are you calling illiterate!?"
Chu Qianli put her arms akimbo righteously, and she switched back to Chinese with one click, and said loudly: "You can't even understand dismantling Nisi, and you are not illiterate!"
As expected, Qiao heard the words with a dazed expression on his face, showing confusion, as if he didn't understand this sentence.
Mei Ru Z said frankly: "I understand this sentence, I am not illiterate."
Talking about Mu Xing: "..."
