Episode 22, Preparatory Work (Part 1) Seeking Collection

  When I met Mr. Tai Yi, it was already past five o'clock in the afternoon. Accompanying Mr. Tai Yi was an old man wearing a suit and sporting a shiny, clean-shaven beard. Mr. Tai Yi still wore his traditional Taoist robes, which attracted the attention of countless onlookers with its elegant attire.

  I and Ye stepped forward and exchanged a few words with Mr. Tai Yi, then I followed behind Mr. Tai Yi as his junior.

  Through Mr. Tai Yi's introduction, the old man in black suit next to me turned out to be the famous Daoist master Chun Liang. He doesn't look like it at all?

  Chunliang Daochang is a successor of the Tian Shi Dao, belonging to the Mao Shan sect. He is the current master of the orthodox Mao Shan sect and my uncle's generation. Following Mr. Tai Yi's seniority, I respectfully called him Uncle Chunliang. In my heart, I thought that Laozi was also of the same generation as the master of the Mao Shan sect. Of course, it was just a fleeting thought. The two old Daoists carried large boxes and after finding the luggage carts at the airport exit, they pushed them out into the terminal hall. When Ye drove up to the entrance and loaded the boxes into the trunk, we set off directly for the city center.

  On the way, Ye Yi made a phone call to Master Fahua of the Diamond Temple, and then called the deputy captain to meet us at the Diamond Temple.

  Because things were a bit urgent, we didn't have much small talk to exchange pleasantries. In Ye Yi's car, we directly got down to business.

  Mr. Tai Yi said: "I have seen Ye Xiao's email, and I discussed it with Chunliang when I came. There is also a corresponding solution."

  Junliang Daochang said, "This matter can be called a major event, at least it has not happened in over a hundred years. Therefore, everything can only be guessed based on the records of historical volumes. The biggest variable is that this formation change is too great, and there is no step-by-step way to crack it."

  "Indeed, Lao Dao has also reviewed the materials. Each time, a different method was used to break through. They were all extremely ominous moves. The most recent one was done by Yuan Shikai. At that time, the last Tian Guan of the Qing government was the leader of the Tian Shi Dao. He widely invited 13 famous masters at the time, and with the assistance of the revolutionary army, they finally broke through the formation. Ordinary people didn't explain it clearly, but including the leader of Mao Shan, among the 14 people, only 5 survived, and one of them was a member of the Ye family from Lingnan who fell there."

  "This matter I really don't understand, you also know, my Ye family has almost cut off the inheritance, and it's the last one to me."

  Tai Yi said: "Hehe ~ Ye Xiao, this time I came, I discussed with Chun Liang Dao Chang, maybe we can break the array without damaging it."

  "Really?" Ye Yī said disbelievingly.

  "Maybe it's possible, but everything is just our inference. We still need to go and take a look before we can draw conclusions. After all, this is a society ruled by law, so surely no one would dare openly assassinate us in public?"

  Yi Dao said: "I've already spoken with the deputy captain of the criminal police team, and at that time he will send someone to guard the eight major gates."

  I suddenly interrupted and asked: "Ye Yi, has the deputy captain contacted their leaders yet? More than a hundred households have died, it can't be hidden."

  My question also made Mr. Tai Yi and Chun Liang Dao nod their heads simultaneously from the back row seats.

  "It's still unclear, tomorrow is the last day of the seventh day. If this can't be solved, we'll force our way out even if it causes big problems, at least that's better than all of us dying." Ye said gritting his teeth.

  "If so, the deputy captain will probably be laid off. The shock is not small."

  "If everyone becomes an ostrich, things will be even more out of hand."

  The atmosphere between us fell into a strange state, with the two old Daoists closing their eyes to meditate, and Ye Yi and I having nothing to say. Especially since we were about to go all out soon, it felt even stranger.

  I arrived at the back door of the Golden Temple and found that there were not only Deputy Captain's car, but also Old Gao Tou's exaggerated Toyota pickup truck. Gaoni saw Ye Yi's car coming over and waved to us from inside the truck. The deputy captain leaned against his own car head, looking down at something. Fahua Master was standing together with Old Gao Tou, wearing a monk's robe.

  After getting off the car, everyone greeted each other and introduced themselves. Lao Gao was a well-connected person and surprisingly knew Mr. Tai Yi and Chun Liang Dao very well. Thanks to Lao Gao's connection, we didn't enter the temple but sat on the ground outside the back door instead.

  Yeyiqian asked the deputy captain: "How is it? What did your leader say?"

  The deputy captain sighed and said, "Director Zhang actually agreed to report this matter upwards, but was suppressed by Director Lin. I'm thinking about whether to bypass them and go directly to the city with Director Zhang to expose this matter."

  "A true bureaucrat, still thinking about official positions at a time like this?"

  The deputy captain said: "Can't say that, after all, it hasn't been exposed yet, and they won't believe it either. If he weren't Director Zhang's son, Director Zhang wouldn't have believed this matter."

  Yi Dao said, "Even if it's just a rumor, we should take precautions. I'll say it first, if we don't handle this today, there will be more deaths tomorrow. At that time, your military orders will definitely not pass, not to mention that I won't be able to control so much, and the matter will be exposed directly. At that time, you can think of a solution yourself."

  Deputy captain said: "Can I have another half day? I'll try my best this afternoon?"

  "Strive for? I'm telling you, Captain Wang, don't think that just because you're a police officer, this matter is something the army can handle and there won't be rivers of blood. Can one person bear the consequences of such a huge incident?"

  "Never mind. I'm more annoyed than you are." The deputy captain pulled out a handful of weeds beside him, ripped them to shreds with a huff, and didn't say another word.

  Ye Yizhuan turned to Old Gao, Mr. Tai Yi, Chunliang Daochang and Dharma Master Fahua, who were all sitting together discussing something. From time to time, Mr. Tai Yi would draw something on the ground. Ye Yizhuan said: "Uncle Tai Yi, we must go in today to resolve this matter, it cannot be delayed."

  Tai Yi gentleman raised his head and looked at Ye One, saying: "Ye young friend, I have come to solve it naturally. Don't be in a hurry."

  Ye Yidao said: "This is no longer an urgent matter, I went in to investigate yesterday. The residents inside the black node are all rotting corpses, relying on illusions to confuse people's minds."

  Junliang Daochang said: "Since the little friend has explored, he should know the danger. If there is no foolproof plan, we few people going in will only be a joke, and it's just adding to the ridicule."

  Mr. Tai Yi suddenly asked me: "Yang Xiaoyou, where is that Wufu Bagua mirror?"

  I hastily replied: "There is."

  "Trouble you, bring it over for a use, okay?"

  "I said hastily: 'Okay.'"

  At this time, it seemed that Lao Gao Tou, Tai Yi Xian Sheng, Chun Liang Dao Zhang and Fa Hua Da Shi had discussed something. At the same time, they stood up and Lao Gao Tou said: "We will divide our troops into three routes. Let Wang Deputy Captain take Tai Yi Xian Sheng and Chun Liang Dao Zhang to Long Teng Xiao Qu again. Ye Yi, you and Yang Guang go to retrieve the Wu Fu Ba Gu Jing, and also go to the top of 105 five-flower roosters, no matter what method you use, you must gather them. Mobilize your connections to collect Huai Xue. Soak three thousand meters of red rope in Huai Xue. Find a way to get it. I and Ni Er will return to prepare the props."

  Ye Yi and I hastily nodded.

  The origin of dimples: Legend has it that after a person dies, they pass through the Ghost Gate and onto the Yellow Spring Road, where they come to a bridge called Naihe Bridge. There, an old woman named Meng Po waits with a bowl of Meng Po soup. Those who drink the soup will forget all events of their past life. However, some people refuse to drink the soup, so Meng Po has no choice but to leave dimples on their faces instead. When they are reborn, they will retain memories of their past life and have dimples. So, friends, cherish those around you with dimples!

  There are still a few more to go before reaching 200 collections. This book was first released on June 2nd, without any homepage recommendations, and only had one paranormal category recommendation and one editor's recommendation. To have reached the current number of collections is not a great achievement, but it's also absolutely not a bad one! I'm asking friends who are passing by to help out, add some recommendations, and some collections. Can Xiao He have 300 collections before reaching 300,000 words? Thank you to the brothers who have been supporting me in the past few days!! Additionally, I solemnly declare again that Yang Guang and Ye Yi are pure!! The second update is here!
