Chapter 76: Wei Chi Jing De

  What appeared before our eyes was a city, although it was still some distance away from us. The city was unmistakable, with its numerous tall chimneys standing upright.

  "This time it's not an illusion, nor is it a trap!" I sat down on the ground in despair and pulled out a cigarette. "Lao Niu, we can't go to Kunlun Mountain."

  When I heard the first half of what I said, Jin Gang Pao was so excited that he jumped up high, but when the second half came out, he froze and asked "What's wrong, Old Yu?"

  "It's been over 1,450 years, and the changes are too great. Cities have been built here, and the maps left behind by the Wind and Cloud Striders are no longer useful." I listlessly tried to light a cigarette, but my emotions were stirred up for half a day and I couldn't get it lit.

  "Has all our previous efforts been in vain?" Jin Gang Pao also felt disappointed. Although he had entered Kunlun Mountain to accompany me, and it didn't have anything to do with him personally, knowing that we couldn't go any further was still very disappointing.

  "The map left by the Wind Daoist is step-by-step, with each step closely connected. If I miss a certain air column, I won't be able to find my way in the next step." The top of the mountain was abnormally cold, but at this moment, my heart was even colder than the outside weather.

  "Does Wind Chaser know the way?" Jin Gang pointed at Murong Zhuifeng, who was originally dressed in his usual attire but had been changed into an ancient woman's clothing by Bai Jiuyi.

  "She might know, but she's always been a bit crazy..." As I said this, my hope reignited because Murong Zhui Feng would regain her sanity for a short period every month. Counting on my fingers, it was almost the beginning of the new year, and by then I could ask her.

  With renewed hope, I didn't feel so downcast anymore, and followed the faintly visible mountain path downhill.

  When we arrived at the foot of the mountain in a small village, our strange attire and sloppy image caused the villagers to gather around us. I nervously pinched my fingers together to observe the aura of the people around me before finally putting my mind at ease!

  Does everyone still remember that year when I was taken to the police station by Tang Ping's mother and got a good beating? After suffering injustice, I detained a group of water attribute yin souls and made a big fuss at the police station. Two male ghosts possessed two policemen and stood at the gate of the police station, pretending to be door gods. The captain in front of me is one of those two door gods from that year, 'Wei Zhi De'.

  "It's all over, it's all over, and now I've fallen into his hands." I secretly lamented, "In the past, I had been so troublesome to him, and now that he has won, he will surely want me to pay back the principal with interest."

  Just as I was lost in thought, the young director spoke up, "Xiao Zhou, how did you manage to catch him?"

  "Director, do you know them?" The interrogating policeman pointed at us with his hand.

  "Let's just say we're acquainted, is it their dog that bit someone?" The director's face showed a bitter smile.

  "Yes, and I also suspect they are trafficking women..."

  "Oh, I see. You go to the duty room and take a look, those people from Ershili Pu are here again, I'll handle this." The director actually smiled when he heard his subordinate say that I was trafficking women. He knows my background, I definitely wouldn't do such despicable things.

  Watching his subordinate push the door out, the director walked over with a smile on his face "Ah, brother, misunderstanding" and took out cigarettes to share with me and Jin Gang Cannon.

  "Lao Yu, do you two know each other?" Jin Gang was stunned by the dramatic scene in front of him.

  "Haha, old friend." Seeing the boss's actions, I re-shouldered my backpack and accepted the cigarette he handed over. It seems this guy doesn't want to take revenge anymore, or rather, doesn't dare to take revenge anymore.

  "Brother, you're rising fast enough! By the way, how did you end up here?" I said, puffing on my cigarette and pointing at the police badge on his shoulder.

  "Honesty is the best policy, and if you reverse what you just said, you'll understand the reason." The director smiled slyly at me, "If you didn't apply to be transferred to Tibet, would you have been promoted so quickly?"

  "Right, are you surnamed Wu or Xie? I forgot." I vaguely remember that the two "door gods" back then were these two surnames.

  "My surname is Xie, haha." Director Xie said with a smile as he personally poured water for us, and the interrogation room turned into a reception hall.

  "In the past, there were many offenses, don't take it to heart." Xie's enthusiastic behavior made me suspicious, even if I didn't hold a grudge, there was no need to be so fervent.

  "Brother, just don't remember the grudge against your elder brother, okay? By the way, what brings you here this time?" Director Xie's face showed a warm and familiar expression as if he had met an old friend in a foreign land.

  "My brother and sister came on a trip with me, but my little sister forgot to bring her ID." I made up an excuse, who brings their dog on a family trip anyway.

  "Report! Director, the person who was bitten in the hotel has arrived to ask for medical expenses." Just as we were chatting idly, a young policeman pushed open the door and came in. Seeing us suspects sitting in disarray, still smoking, he looked very surprised.

  "Is he all right?" Director Xie asked, turning his head.

  "My neck was bitten and the skin was broken, but no muscles or bones were injured... I didn't come here by myself..."

  The police hadn't finished speaking, when Director Xie suddenly chimed in: "He didn't have any business running to someone else's room, who knows if he was stealing something? And now you're still asking for medical expenses. You should take him to the hotel and make him pay for the door..."

  Watching my subordinate walk out of the interrogation room with a puzzled expression, I couldn't help but burst into laughter along with Jin Gang. These two officials, no matter what they say, it's all nonsense.

  "Old Xie, this brotherly favor is noted. In the future, if there's a place where brothers can be of use, just speak up!" I stepped forward a few steps to thank him.

  "Hey, we're old friends now, why be so polite? However, brother, I do have something that I need your help with right now..."

  “……”
