Chapter 53:
Long Shen flattened his wrist, put three fingers on the other hand, felt the pulse for a moment, and released it.
"Invitation to God is a very labor-intensive thing. The greater the mana of the spirit body invited, the greater the loss. Zhong Yuyi is suitable for this profession because he is born with a Yin spirit body, but even if it is him, ask God to bring The side effects are also great. So under normal circumstances, I would not let him go out to work.
The winter solstice suddenly dawned, no wonder Zhong Yuyi never followed Chaosheng and He Yu's mission.
Long Shen: "You know you're afraid?"
Dongzhi nodded obediently: "Then why can I invite Clairvoyance and Guan Erye? It's not that my physique is more suitable for this line than Lao Zhong?"
Long Shen thought for a moment: "Let's put it this way, asking God is about asking for words, it's the yin **** looking for you, not you looking for the yin god, Zhong Yuyi should have told you that burning incense and praying is for the ghosts of the past to hear, He is willing to possess spirits, and he is willing to instruct you, it all depends on the chance. You can invite the righteous gods like Clairvoyance and Guan Erye twice, so you have their eyesight, but everything is worth it, so please invite more. , it takes a lot of damage to the body.”
He said to the Winter Solstice: "The Special Administration Bureau opened this class for you, not to let you play if you have something to do, but to let you know more. It will not be a last resort in the future, and you should not try it easily."
The first time on the winter solstice, the clairvoyant was invited, and the second time, the second master directly turned off the upper body. Although he was very pushy, but now he also felt the reaction of Long Shen's words. He felt dizzy and top-heavy. This is a sign of depletion of spirit and energy, and if it continues to develop, it may be like the old bell, with a particularly long reflex arc.
Long Shen said, "You can't leave the Hezao sect's snoring kung fu for a day. The matter of going to the rooftop to practice will be put on hold for the past few days. Using the talisman to attract thunder will also consume a lot of energy."
The winter solstice nod should be.
In fact, he did not fail in his practice every day, including the sword movements taught by Long Shen. He also practiced repeatedly. Although he would definitely not be able to reach the level of perfection like Liu Qingbo in the short term, it was a matter of time between the two of them. Gap, not a gap in diligence.
The improvement of physical strength also has an impact on the invitation to God. If the body is not good enough, if you ask God to come down twice, the winter solstice will not be dizzy, but go directly to the hospital.
Thinking of Lin Xuan's words, the Winter Solstice hesitated for a moment and said, "Listen to Lin Xuan, I killed one of those Japanese people. It won't cause any bad effects, will it affect you?"
Long Shen frowned: "Why did you mix with Lin Xuan?"
The winter solstice told him about his search for him.
Long Shen did not comment on Lin Xuan's righteousness and evil, but said: "It's okay, don't think too much, only if you draw the back of the mirror, we can get the information above."
So you're saying you've done another job?
The winter solstice belongs to those who "give three points of color to open a dyeing workshop". Hearing this, he said happily, "Is there any reward?"
Long Shen glanced at him: "What reward do you want?"
Winter Solstice said embarrassedly: "I don't want the bonus, can you give me a quota of apprentices or something?"
Long Shen was a little amused: "Do you know what Liu Qingbo did when he came in just now?"
Facing the winter solstice with a puzzled face, he said: "The group of them encountered zombies in the graves, and they were separated. Liu Qingbo solved one of them by himself, and finally found a way out, which is also considered a credit. I hope that I can make use of the credit. Accept him as a disciple."
winter solstice:……
In this comparison, his performance seems to be nothing.
Long Shen: "Do you think I can agree?"
The Winter Solstice is righteous: "Of course not, the competition should be carried out under the same conditions, and the results of unequal competition cannot be counted!"
Long Shen smiled: "I think so too. Let's go to rest first, there will be the next round of training waiting for you in a few days."
Coming with high ambitions, and returning full of disappointment, the Winter Solstice suddenly understood where Liu Qingbo's disappointment just now came from.
"Wait." Long Shen stopped him.
The winter solstice turned around quickly, with a face of "you hurry up and keep me".
Long Shen took out a rune folded into a triangle and strung with red money from the drawer.
"This is the talisman of Longhu Mountain. It doesn't have a big effect, but it is good for your current state. Wear it, and don't leave if you have nothing to do."
At the winter solstice, both hands were holding the box, and he couldn't free his hands to pick it up, so Long Shen put it on him himself.
The soothing talisman seemed to take effect instantly, and his mood was soothed with this action.
After all, Liu Qingbo couldn't get the treatment of the male **** wearing the soothing charm himself, right?
He went downstairs with the box, intending to ask the janitor if he wanted a cat.
There were just two people talking at the door, one was Ba Sang and the other was Li Ying.
Li Ying smiled when she saw the winter solstice: "I heard you killed the Japanese?"
Winter Solstice smiled bitterly: "Why don't good things go out, and bad things spread thousands of miles?"
Li Ying laughed: "Why is this a bad thing? It's said that this year's special meeting is going to happen. It's a good evaluation. If we keep trying, I'm a little regretful that I didn't follow you to the God-pleasing class!"
Winter Solstice said: "I still envy you, how are you over there? I heard from the Long Bureau that you really encountered zombies?"
Basang shook his head: "Don't mention it, some people are caring about their own prestige, and they clearly agreed to meet at an agreed time, but they disappeared. We thought he was missing and looked for him, and almost fell into a trap."
Winter Solstice was curious: "Who? Liu Qingbo?"
From the expressions of Ba Sang and Li Ying, he knew that his guess was correct.
Li Ying sighed: "I thought he came from a famous family, and he would take care of the overall situation no matter what, but I didn't expect him to be so headstrong, but then again, his performance is really good, he killed a zombie by himself, and now he will definitely have a headache. ."
Basang couldn't understand: "What's the headache?"
Dongzhi explained: "He is very capable of fighting alone. It's a pity that he doesn't recruit, but if he enters the Special Administration Bureau, he may not be able to cooperate with others."
Li Ying agreed.
"Meow"
Unwilling to be lonely, the kitten stuck its head out of the box.
Basang stretched out his hand and slapped its head, causing the cat's head to shrink back quickly.
Li Yingdao: "You have to prepare mentally first. I heard that there will be a test next."
His dad was a consultant in the bureau, and he was sure to get more gossip than anyone else.
Basang and Winter Solstice looked at each other.
"What test, another zombie simulation?"
Li Ying laughed: "The zombie simulation has been done once, and everyone is prepared. It is impossible to come again. I heard that this time I might go to the northwest, but I don't know the specifics. There should be news in the next two days."
After a few more gossips, the three of them left.
The winter solstice went to the janitor with a box and asked him if he wanted to raise a cat and mouse.
The uncle looked up at him slowly: "There are no mice in this building, I have eaten them all."
winter solstice:……
He looked at the uncle, and the uncle looked at him.
Winter Solstice smiled stiffly and moved her pace.
"Then, I'll take care of it myself!"
The uncle looked at the back of the other party holding the box and walked back, and shook his head, thinking that the young people today are so flamboyant no matter how they walk.
He narrowed his eyes and continued to bask in the sun with his head down.
When the winter solstice brought the cat back to the dormitory, the kitten timidly stuck its head out and curiously observed the surrounding environment.
"I didn't help you find the owner for the time being. It seems that I have to keep you first." Dongzhi looked at its furry head and said.
The kitten has not yet realized that her cat has changed dramatically in one day, and has been upgraded from a stray cat to a domestic cat.
At this moment there was a knock on the door.
The winter solstice opens the door.
"You just dropped something." Long Shen handed him the bag of fried chicken.
The winter solstice hurriedly said, "Uncle Qian gave it to me. I've already finished my meal. You can take it and eat it."
"I don't eat it." Long Shen shook his head and handed him the bag anyway.
Behind the winter solstice, the cat jumped out of the box and ran to his feet to meow.
"How did you bring it back?" Long Shen disagreed.
"I can't find anyone to support it, so I can only support it first."
Long Shen: "You have a mission in two days. If you can't come back in ten days and a half, you can't support it."
Winter Solstice was taken aback: "What task, is it so urgent?"
Long Shen: "It's also part of the exam content."
Li Ying's gossip is really accurate.
He picked up the cat on the winter solstice. On the way back, he went to the pet store to give the cat a bath. Now he is a little thinner, but he is clean and white, and he will definitely look better when he eats fat in the future.
"Then, when I go out, can I leave the cat with you for a few days?"
Long Shen shook his head: "I want to go with you too."
Winter Solstice said tentatively: "Is this exam difficult?"
Long Shen: "I don't know either. You practice breathing and breathing well these two days, and don't fall behind."
This is the second time he has explained it. Long Shen will never say useless nonsense. The importance of things that can be told twice by him must be beyond doubt.
"I see," said Winter Solstice, the fur in his arms kept twisting and twisting restlessly.
Long Shen: ...
"Get up by yourself," he said.
Dongzhi pretended not to understand the other party's refusal, and said with a smile: "I heard Uncle Qian say that you have fed it a few times, otherwise it might have died long ago. This is also a fate."
He has long seen that Long Shen eats soft and not hard, and the most important thing is that the other party will never refuse such a small request that is innocuous and unprincipled, just like he gave potted plants last time.
But for Deputy Director Long, naming things is really difficult for him.
He stared at the cat for a long time: "Just meow, kitten?"
Winter Solstice: ... even if you call me Meow or Mao Mao!
He had a flash of inspiration, "How about it, called Longlong?"
Long Shen: ...
Before he opened his mouth to object, Dongzhi raised the kitten and said with a smile: "You will have a name in the future, Longlong!"
Long Shen wanted to speak out against it, but after thinking about it, it was fine.
Just a name, let him go.
However, naming is only the first step in the Long March. It is not easy to find a cat on the winter solstice. Even if it is only temporary, cat food, cat litter, comb, deworming medicine and nutritional cream are indispensable, although he bought it at a pet store. Some, but after checking the Internet, I bought a lot of them in a hurry.
Longlong has a good temper, probably because of the experience of wandering before. He is not playful, playful and particularly naughty like the general pastoral cat. Every day he eats and sleeps when he is full, and eats when he is full. At the winter solstice, he was worried that his weight would change. Like blowing up a balloon, it becomes what it looks like after watching the tide biomorph.
Raising a cat and raising a cat, he has not missed a single thing that should be done. According to what Long Shen said, in the past two days, before he gets up and goes to bed, he will do two sets of breathing kung fu properly, and sometimes even finish his lunch at noon. Come again. Not to mention, after two days, the fatigue that had accumulated in the body seemed to have really eased a lot, and even the top-heavy side effects caused by asking God had almost disappeared.
As the group of people who went down to the tomb came back one after another, their next stage of study assessment was put on the table again.
Before the Winter Solstice, their group followed Zhong Yuyi to learn to pray to God, but there was an accident in the middle, which caused the course to be abandoned halfway. Everyone stayed in the farmhouse for a whole week, and they were so idle that they were getting hairy. It was hard to wait until the other group came back , are gearing up, some can't wait.
On this morning, everyone arrived at the classroom on time according to the notice.
"What are you going to talk about today?" Gu Meiren asked them at the Winter Solstice.
Everyone shook their heads, feeling a little apprehensive.
Generally speaking, the content of the course will be notified in advance, unless it is like a simulation training to kill everyone by surprise.
The winter solstice bumped Basang's arm with his elbow: "Is it fun to go to the tomb?"
Basang scratched his head: "It's alright, I'm all going with the big army, and a few people work together to destroy a Zi Zong. It's not dangerous, but the time after going to the tomb is quite torturous."
Gu Meiren also joined the chat: "How do you say?"
Basang: "In a dark environment, I don't know what's in front of me, and I don't know what's behind. Danger may be everywhere, and it's unknown. I feel panic in my heart."
Gu Meiren sighed: "That's better than ending it before we even started. I thought it would be fun to ask God."
The Winter Solstice faintly guessed that the suspension of the class should be related to what he saw with his clairvoyance, but since he spoke, there must be their consideration, and he kept silent before getting permission.
The buzzing voice suddenly stopped.
People come in from outside.
Everyone looked surprised.
Good guy, if you don't come, you're done. How come the three deputy directors are all here?
This is a rare lineup.
Even after the simulation training that day, Wu Bingtian and Long Shen were the only ones who gave them lessons and summed up their experience.
And today, the last deputy director Song Zhicun also arrived.
A young man followed behind the three.
Others do not know, but the winter solstice is very familiar.
Lin Xuan.
He also quickly discovered the winter solstice under his seat, and winked at the other party.
Pretend not to see the winter solstice.
As usual, Wu Bingtian spoke first. With a smile on his face, he looked around at everyone: "How's your rest these days?"
"It's getting moldy."
I don't know who said it, and everyone laughed. You don't need to look at the winter solstice to know that it was their group who said it.
Li Ying, Liu Qingbo and others were much more reserved, and they had only rested for a day since they came back.
"good."
"You can continue the class."
"Well."
Wu Bingtian's smile faded, and he became serious. The atmosphere was instantly condensed, and everyone's mood was also raised.
"You have to listen carefully to what I say next."
Everyone unconsciously adjusted their sitting positions and pricked up their ears.
Wu Bingtian said: "There was a gang of tomb robbers who stole a batch of cultural relics from the northwest, including a bronze mirror, which ended up in the hands of the Japanese. The police have captured the head of the tomb robbery gang. , it is very likely that it is only the periphery of the tomb. They have not yet entered the real core area, and now those Japanese people have now rushed to the northwest with bronze mirrors and want to enter the core of the tomb. All we have to do is to stop the Japanese and get them back Bronze mirror. This should have been the work of the police and the archaeological department, but because it is likely to involve monsters, it is now handed over to us, and we will carry out the preliminary cleaning, do you understand?"
"Understood!" the crowd responded.
Wu Bingtian nodded: "Now you have any questions to ask."
Li Ying said: "Ju Wu, is that bronze mirror very precious? What should we do if we encounter a situation where we need to choose between people and mirrors?"
Wu Bingtian said: "We preliminarily speculate that the mirror is likely to be the key to the core area. At present, we don't know what purpose the Japanese have to go there, so we need to investigate and understand, but if we encounter In the situation you mentioned, the safety of the companion's life is the top priority."
His eyes swept across the crowd and stayed on Liu Qingbo for a moment.
"This mission is both an assessment and a practice. The purpose is to see what progress you have made during this period, and I must remind you that some people may die on this trip."
The classroom was silent and silent.
Wu Bingtian's words were like a giant stone, pressing heavily on everyone's heart.
"Those Japanese people forged their documents and pretended to be Chinese nationals to go to the northwest. Due to the variety of means of transportation and the complex and cumbersome information, it was difficult to find out their specific identities for a while. According to the information collected, among those people, there are likely to be powerful onmyojis. You must not underestimate the enemy! The other party is not a zombie in the simulation training. At the critical moment, they will not give you a second chance to survive! In addition, there are many dangers in the ancient tomb. Even if you are cultivators, you cannot be careless! Once your life is gone, you will never come back! So, if any of you want to quit now, you can immediately quit!"
Exiting the mission means exiting the SEC.
No matter what everyone thought, no one stood up and walked out.
Wu Bingtian's tone became a little more solemn: "Don't think I'm joking with you, you can go and ask. In the previous training sessions, there were many people who sacrificed their lives. They didn't even have time to become a member of the Special Administration Bureau. If you fall down, if you regret it now, it's still too late!"
He waited for a while, but still no one got up.
Wu Bingtian nodded: "Very good, there are no cowards in the Special Administration Bureau! I am very pleased with your performance. Since everyone has decided to stay and participate, I will tell you the specific details. Although the bronze mirror was robbed by the Japanese Yes, but we got the engraving on the back of the mirror, and found that there are four inscriptions on it, with the words Helan and Phoenix written on it. Based on the situation, we speculate that Helan refers to Helan Mountain, and Phoenix should be the ancient name of Yinchuan. Preliminary estimate is that the large tomb is located near the tomb of the Western Xia Dynasty. At that time, we will go down through the robbery hole dug by the tomb robbers. The Japanese should be one step ahead of us. They can block the robbery hole from the inside, but cover it up. There are no traces outside, so we can still find..."
Everyone listened very carefully, for fear of missing every detail, because this is not only related to everyone's assessment, but also to their own safety, and no one will joke about their own lives.
After Wu Bingtian finished speaking, he took a breath and gave them time to digest.
"This mission will be led by Bureau Long and Bureau Song in person. Bureau Long will be the team leader, and Bureau Song will be the deputy team leader. I will sit in the General Bureau, and I will also serve as a logistician to deal with emergencies. Next, I will ask Bureau Long to speak. Let's talk."
Hearing this sentence, everyone thought again in their hearts.
The two deputy directors personally led the team, giving them a new understanding of the importance and serious difficulties of the mission.
Long Shen nodded to Wu Bingtian and took a step.
"This mission is equivalent to a practical exam. The final result will determine whether you can stay and become a member of the Special Administration Bureau. Outside, my request is very simple, everyone must obey the command, I don't want to appear. If you go your own way, or if there is a situation where you can go your way, even if you can come back alive, I won't let you enter the Special Administration Bureau. That's it."
His speech has always been concise and powerful, and shocking.
Even a person like Liu Qingbo who doesn't listen to the command, when he hears such words, he will have to think more carefully when he encounters an incident.
Song Zhicun coughed lightly: "Let me introduce, this is Lin Xuan. He has been in contact with the Japanese before and is more familiar with the situation. This time he will be with us."
It seems that the reason why Lin Xuan was not dealt with was because he was very smart, he surrendered to us in time and became a "tainted witness".
Although the Lingnan Lin family is quite prestigious in Lingnan, not long after Lin Xuan inherited the family business, no one responded to his name.
Song Zhicun saw that everyone was not in high spirits, so he smiled and said, "It's a holiday today, tomorrow morning at nine o'clock, gather here and leave on time, everyone rest early today, don't go outside to play, if you can't get up tomorrow morning, we won't wait for anyone, you Just go to Yinchuan by yourself."
He intended to reconcile the atmosphere, but everyone was still immersed in the words just now and couldn't laugh.
Seeing this, Wu Bingtian didn't say more, and let everyone disband, and he left with the other two.
