Chapter 118:
Wu Bingtian wiped his face, as if planning to wipe away the tiredness of staying up late.
"I haven't had time to tell you, I had a meeting with Zong Lao and Zhang Lao the day before yesterday, and they all thought that the formation eye should be in Kunlun Mountain, but Kunlun Mountain is too big, and the exact location can't be determined. We can only start the search a little bit first. Elder Zong and Elder Zhang will also rush over to meet up and participate in the search together."
Kunlun Mountain is not a mountain, but an endless mountain range. It is regarded as the ancestor of all mountains in China, and it is also the starting point of all dragon veins. Countless myths and legends originate here, and have never been cut off since ancient times. where the eye is.
But in this place, there are 19 peaks above 6,000 meters. The snow on the top of the mountain does not melt all year round, and there is also the heart of the deep mountain that no one has ever set foot in. If you search one by one, it may not take three to five years It's over, not to mention the countless natural dangers and wonders.
Long Shen asked, "Does Ding Lan and the others have any news now?"
Wu Bingtian shook his head: "I let them focus on their own safety, and they don't need to keep in touch until it is extremely critical."
Li Ying lacks a little experience, but he is not the first of the three. With Ding Lan and Yu Buregai there, it is obvious that he will act by chance, but Otoyu Jiuyan has been in business for so many years, it is impossible to predict that they will come, so Ding Lan and the others this time, there are also many dangers in the same calm.
Long Shen turned his head to the Winter Solstice and said, "Go back and rest first."
He listened to the winter solstice for a long time and heard a lot of news, but he couldn't do any favors. Seeing that the atmosphere was a little dignified, he felt uncomfortable, so he nodded and got up when he heard the words.
"and many more."
Song Zhicun stopped him and handed over the folder in front of him. "This is the information of the exchange conference in previous years. You can take a look first, and when everyone comes back, I will tell you a few words, but the specific division of labor is still up to you."
Winter solstice for a moment. He thought that the leader of the team was just a verbal statement, and he had to go through a specific assessment, but now listening to Song Zhicun's meaning, it seemed to be a foregone conclusion.
He subconsciously looked at Long Shen, who nodded slightly, his eyes encouraging.
The winter solstice suddenly showed calm and courage in his life. He took the documents, said goodbye to Song Zhicun and the others, and then left.
Watching him gently bring him to the door, Song Zhicun finally showed a smile that he had not seen for a few days.
"Your apprentice did well. I regret it a little now. If I had robbed you in front of you, maybe he would have called me master today."
Wu Bingtian also laughed and said, "Isn't it? I thought he really didn't eat the fireworks of the world. It turns out that it's not that Fan's heart does not move, but that he meets people who move Fan's heart."
Although these words sound easy to misunderstand, they are actually only making fun of the matter of accepting apprentices.
Long Shen smiled slightly, and his eyebrows loosened a lot.
He did not intend to take the initiative to mention his relationship with the Winter Solstice, but he would not deliberately conceal it.
"The winter solstice is really good."
Song Zhicun said with a smile: "I was worried before that, as soon as Li Ying left, the winter solstice fell again. Liu Qingbo or Zhang Song are not enough to take on the responsibility of leading the team. If they don't get it right, they will have to choose someone again. Now it's okay. I have worked with Liu Qingbo a few times on the Winter Solstice, and if he is here, I can hold Liu Qingbo down, and Zhang Song should be no problem."
Wu Bingtian also said: "When they come back from this exchange, they can put a heavier burden on them."
The three took advantage of this topic to relax for a while, and Long Shen talked about the results of his meeting with Carlos and others in Bangkok this time.
"The remnant soul of the demon may take this opportunity to join the cultivators. I suggest to send two more people to replace Li Ying."
Wu Bingtian said: "This is no problem, I will look for suitable candidates as soon as possible, how about Chi Banxia?"
She has been accepted as a disciple by Song Zhicun, so Song Zhicun has more say on this issue.
Song Zhicun shook his head and said, "She's not hot enough. This kind of experience is the most important teamwork, and she and Li Ying are still in love. I'm afraid that this time Li Ying's life or death is uncertain, she is worried and may not be able to concentrate fully."
Winter Solstice didn't know what Long Shen and the others would discuss next. After he left the conference room, he went back to the dormitory.
He hasn't come back here for more than half a year. The bed and mattress are still folded up when he left. He was well taken care of, and when he looked at the coffee table, there was a note on it, which read: The cat is kept in the pet shop at No. 175, North Corner, Nanxiang, and half a year's fostering fee has been paid.
This should have been written by Long Shen before he went to Shencheng. At that time, he probably felt that he was not coming back so soon. Nine times out of ten, the note was for the entrusted person.
Looking back on the winter solstice, the two of them reunited in Shencheng, and then went to Hainan. They went to Thailand and Myanmar, killed Songen, and eliminated the devil. I have been through so much.
When he traveled from Beijing to Lucheng, he had already made preparations that he would not be able to return to Beijing for several years. After confessing to Long Shen, he felt that he would never come back in his life. Who would have expected that life would always take a turn for the worse? Turns and miracles appeared from time to time. The feelings he thought were hopeless in the past were actually responded to by the seaside in Sanya.
There was no need to clean up the room, so he sat down at the desk on the winter solstice and called Liu Qingbo first.
The other party picked it up quickly, and before he could speak, he asked a series of questions: "Where are you now? Have you returned to China? Has your head descended? Is the Dragon Bureau with you?"
The winter solstice was dumbfounded: "Which one do you want me to answer?"
Liu Qingbo was annoyed: "Answer one by one!"
"Okay, okay," said Dongzhi with a good temper, "I'm in the capital now, and the head-down has been resolved. The exchange conference will be held soon. I'm injured. Master told me not to toss back and forth, just rest in the capital, and wait for you to come over. When are you coming?"
Liu Qingbo said, "Let's do it in two days. Mu Duo wants to give you a video report on the situation here. Is it convenient for you now?"
"Of course it's convenient!" He didn't say, the Winter Solstice was about to ask.
The two hung up the phone and switched to using the communication software to start the video online. The winter solstice soon saw Mu Duo and Zhang Chong on the video side. No one had changed. Zhang Chong was still reckless. It is still the same as the appearance he saw before the winter solstice left, and Liu Qingbo naturally still looks like the eldest young master.
"During my absence, Lucheng Office has worked hard for everyone. When I go back, I will definitely invite you to dinner." Dongzhi said sincerely.
Liu Qingbo rolled his eyes: "We have worked so hard for so long, is it worth a meal?"
The winter solstice grinned: "Then what do you want? Except for the promise, I can promise."
Liu Qingbo sneered: "Che, who cares! Let Mu Duo tell you about this period of time first!"
As soon as the Winter Solstice heard it, he knew that his deputy director must be a hands-off shopkeeper.
Liu Qingbo has never had the patience to deal with specific affairs, let alone face tedious interpersonal interactions, so no matter how capable he is, he will never be able to lead a team like Li Ying and Winter Solstice. Leadership, which is also his weakness.
There is no shortage of lone rangers in the Special Administration Bureau. Most of them can act on their own, but not many can act as team leaders. This year, they are optimistic about Li Ying, and now there is another winter solstice, that's all.
Mu Duo began to report the work situation to the winter solstice.
The milk tea shop has been renovated and started to operate. Every day is not a booming business. The first month is still at a loss, but after it stabilizes, it can basically maintain a balance of income and expenditure. In fact, this small shop is only an office hidden in the It is only a cover for the world, no one expects it to make a lot of money, and all the profits must be used for the operation of the office.
However, at the beginning of the winter solstice, this proposal was obviously good. It is close to the school, and students often come to buy drinks. Mu Duo and Zhang Chong are sometimes too busy, so they hired two more young men to help, on the pretext that the shop owner was writing novels and liked to collect supernatural stories. , let them communicate with customers more, and in this exchange, they heard a lot of strange things, which are true and false, and they need Mu Duo to screen.
After all, the woman is careful, and Mu Duo found something unusual in these gossips, and finally found out that it was a case of transnational drug smuggling. After handing over to the relevant departments, they also cooperated to arrest the drug dealers. The two sides even had a shootout, and a policeman was almost injured. It is said that Liu Qingbo was there at the time, and he shot the sword faster than the bullet, and immediately blocked the bullet. Afterwards, everyone looked at him like an alien.
The office also received commendation from the top for this matter, and thanks from the brother department. Wu Bingtian thinks that Lucheng Office's deceitful method is worth promoting in offices around the world, and they are often asked to write summaries of their experience. Of course Liu Qingbo is impatient to do this. Zhang Chong has been disliked by Muduo since the beginning, and now he is writing summaries. I almost vomited, and barely passed the test.
Mu Duo explained these things in a succinct manner, and the Winter Solstice was also stunned.
He didn't expect that so many things happened in the office in the short time he left, which made him a "dereliction of duty" leader even more incompetent.
Seeing his apologetic expression, Mu Duo smiled and said, "These changes were made after you came to the office. If it weren't for you, we would still be dead. Director, when you go to communicate this time, you must be sure. We have to fight for face for our office!"
The winter solstice pointed to Liu Qingbo: "With Deputy Director Liu there, there must be no problem."
Liu Qingbo snorted from his nostrils, expressing that his praise was insincere: "I heard that we were second in the last exchange? Those foreigners don't have a chance this time!"
The winter solstice said to Mu Duo and Zhang Chong again: "Lao Liu and I are not in Lucheng. If you have any problems, you can report to the Tang Bureau in time. Don't force yourself. I will send you some Mingguang Talismans when you have nothing to do with them. also."
Mu Duo understood his good intentions very well, and immediately thanked them and wished them a smooth sailing and a glorious return.
You must know that all practitioners are not like Liu Qingbo, the eldest young master of extraordinary background, who is so arrogant that he doesn't even bother to fight with others. After all, there are few people who go to extremes like Cheng Yuan, and more are like the previous Lucheng office. Like Xiao Qi and Yan Nuo, they are more capable than ordinary people, but they are also human.
Mu Duo has been in the Special Administration Bureau for several years, from ambition to mediocrity, and she also had the idea of resigning, but she finally met the Winter Solstice.
This young man is immature and inexperienced, but he is smart and eager to learn. He draws inferences from each other. These are all essential qualities to become an outstanding practitioner. What is even more rare is that he is willing to take responsibility when he encounters an accident, and he does not take credit for it afterwards. Willing to share the credit.
Working with him, Mu Duo is like a spring breeze. If you have to add a comparison, then she has to say that the winter solstice is much stronger than Yan Nuo and Xiao Qi. Only such people can really lead everyone forward and make people willing to follow. He, born and died, went up and down the world.
After chatting a few more words with Liu Qingbo and the others, the winter solstice ended the video, rubbed his brows, and looked down at the information Song Zhicun handed him when he left.
The full name of the World Exchange Conference is actually the World Unknown Field Cultural Exchange Conference. It originated after World War II, but it is not held every two years. It has been suspended several times for some reason. Today, it is held every two years. .
The so-called unknown culture is actually a general term for the world of practice, from the Taoist yin and yang techniques in the East, to the head-dropping technique in Southeast Asia, to the Western psychic and soul-hunting witchcraft, etc., covering everything. , many practitioners are naturally willing to take this opportunity to increase their understanding and expand their influence.
Today, the exchange conference is actually an arena for cultivators from all over the world. Many unknown cultivators have gone out from here and became famous in the world. Naturally, some people have fallen here and lost their lives.
Generally, teams from countries or regions participate in the conference, and individuals are not allowed to participate. China has participated in five times, and Long Shen has also led the team out, but he has not actually participated in the competition.
Winter Solstice sees here, can not help but smile.
He knew why Long Shen didn't participate, because Long Shen was too strong. Once this man joined, there would be no chance for others to win. As a high-level executive of the Special Administration Bureau, Long Shen didn't actually need to show such limelight. But Carlos obviously knew something about Long Shen's ability, so he regretted not being able to see Long Shen's apprentice showing his ability this time.
With Longshen's ability, even if he doesn't express it deliberately, he is destined not to hide in the crowd. The winter solstice can imagine how dazzling and dazzling this man has bloomed in the past years when he was unable to participate in Longshen. The light, his strength and tenacity are heartbreaking.
On Changbai Mountain, Long Shen had old injuries, and he was able to fight on a par with the bone dragon. This time he even sealed the abyss passage by himself. No wonder he dared to bring his apprentice into Song En's place Laochao, even if the winter solstice is already considered a close relative of the other party, he still can't explore where the limit of this man's power is.
In the past of Long Shen, he has missed a lot, but in the future of Long Shen, he will definitely not miss it again in his lifetime.
Fingertips ran over the familiar name, and the Winter Solstice continued to read.
He Yu participated once, but did not watch Chaosheng, this is naturally not because of the lack of ability to watch Chaosheng, but because the Special Administration Bureau is worried that Chaosheng's self-control is not enough, and in some cases, he can't help revealing his true body, attracting unreasonable people. necessary trouble.
The time He Yu participated was held on the ice field in Siberia. The participants had to fight against the alien beasts on the ice field, and finally got the items designated by the organizer. That time, He Yu and the others won the final victory and followed him. Also participating were Zhang Heng and Yu Buregai. The appearance of these familiar names in the information all meant that the star was shining at that time.
But after that, in the last exchange, the competition was held in Africa, where black magic is prevalent. Everyone survived and confronted in an environment full of black magic traps, and the final winner was the United States. Winter Solstice took a look at the people who participated last time, including two old acquaintances from the Northeast Branch, Zheng Sui and Wang Jingguan.
Of course, Lao Zheng and Sister Wang are not newcomers who have just joined the Special Administration Bureau, but after joining the Special Administration Bureau on the Winter Solstice for so long, they also understand that they are not the elites in the bureau. There is no talent that can be taken out, so they make up the numbers temporarily.
It is said that this time there will be more participating teams than ever before, so the Special Administration Bureau let them participate in the Winter Solstice, and there must be hopes for them to win.
Closing the document again, he breathed a sigh of relief.
He never thought that he would be able to take on the responsibility of leading the team. This trust came too suddenly, and suddenly he felt a heavy weight on his body, diluting the sense of honor that should have been happy.
Liu Qingbo, Zhang Song, Liu Si, these people are all future elites of the Special Administration Bureau. They have performed equally well in training and actual combat. If there is no accident, the future Special Administration Bureau will also belong to them. A year ago, he thought I dare not imagine that there will also be a place of its own here.
At first, he was attracted by "beauty", and then he was retained by the splendor of the new world. He could no longer look away. He was also very self-aware. He felt that he was an ordinary logistics staff in the Special Administration Bureau. If you can see the male god, you will be satisfied. But then every time when things came to an end, I just wanted to do my best, didn't want to be looked down upon by others, and was worthy of myself. I got to where I am today step by step, and when I looked back, I couldn't help laughing.
He had been walking all the way, looking only at the front, walking on thin ice, trembling with fear, but suddenly looking back, he found that he had accidentally sown a lot of seeds, those seeds broke out of the ground, and then bloomed, this is an accident Joy is also a reward for diligence.
The Winter Solstice was full of apprehension, worried that Zhang Song's temperament would be dissatisfied with him, it would be difficult to integrate into the team, and also worried that they would not be able to win the competition this time, which would not only lose the face of the Special Administration Bureau, but also the face of the country, but since the matter has been settled, He didn't even think about dodging or escaping, but began to think about how to do this task well.
After coming back, he didn't rest much, and unknowingly fell asleep on the table.
There was a cold wind blowing outside the window, and the winter solstice sneezed, rubbed his eyes, and realized that an hour had passed.
The dormitory on the opposite side was quiet, and Long Shen obviously hadn't come back. He put on his coat, went outside for dinner first, and brought Long Long back by the way.
I haven't seen him for more than half a year. Longlong has grown up and become smooth and smooth. The advantages of the white cat are completely revealed. When the winter solstice saw his round and innocent face, he almost told the pet owner that they had mistaken the cat.
"When Mr. Long brought it here, he specifically ordered a certain brand of cat food. We have been feeding it with this kind of cat food during this time, one canned food every week. He just had a medical examination last week, and everything is healthy. ." The clerk smiled and handed over the results of the medical examination. When he looked at the winter solstice, he had to sigh about their meticulous care.
Of course, this kind of meticulous price is not cheap. The winter solstice found that the cat food they fed to Long Long was exactly the kind that he bought before he left.
Long Shen's overall attention is now inadvertently, and will not be easily noticed.
After confirming his identity, the proprietress praised Longlong for being good-natured and well-behaved, and for his harmonious coexistence with various cats in the store. She even remembered what Longshen looked like, and mistakenly thought that the winter solstice was Longshen's younger brother, saying that your brothers Both are very beautiful and unforgettable.
The winter solstice didn't intend to explain any further, just followed the other party's words and laughed a few words. Before leaving, the proprietress not only gave a 20% discount, but also gave him a bag of cat food, so that he could come and sit more next time.
Leaving the pet store, the winter solstice raised the cage and said to Longlong inside: "I sacrificed my color for your cat food."
Long Long meowed, and put his fat paw on his hand, as if he hadn't forgotten this cheap master.
The winter solstice nodded its head: "Take you back to see your other master."
As night fell, one person and one cat returned to the Special Administration Bureau.
Long Shen had already returned, the dormitory door was ajar, and the lights were streaming from inside.
"Master?" Winter Solstice pushed open the door and probed into his head.
"I'm back." Long Shen had just come out of the bathroom, and he could feel the steam on him from a few meters away.
"I brought Long Long back."
On the winter solstice, open the cage and let the cat out.
Longlong was not afraid of life at all, walked around the legs and necks of the two of them a few times, and rolled his tail around their legs.
"Put the Changshou sword with me first. During this period of time, it has gone through a lot of tough battles with you. The body of the sword will inevitably be contaminated with pollution. I will take it to purify it and return it to you." Long Shen said.
The Winter Solstice naturally has no objection. Even if Long Shen does not explain, as long as he asks him for it, he will not hesitate to give the sword to the past. This is trust without thinking.
"Master, last time you blocked the abyss passage alone, did you also get injured? I'm not going to leave right away, the long guard sword can be released in advance."
The author has something to say:
Small Theater#Bu Tiangang#
Kan Chaosheng likes to wander around as a cat.
For him, the original shape was too bulky, and he could not be free in the human city. The human shape was too short, and it was difficult to run. If it had four legs, it would be more convenient, and he found that human beings especially like fluffy ones. Small animals, he can deceive a lot of food by relying on his cute appearance. To put it bluntly, even if he strolled around the Special Administration Bureau, there were many little girls who wanted to feed him. Of course, the little girls in the Special Administration Bureau are not ordinary girls, and the food he feeds ranges from Shangqing Dan to Shiquan Dabuwan, but watching Chaosheng is not an open door, he is a person with a taste for life. Jiao, you don't accept whatever food you feed it casually.
But he knew that he was the cute pet of the Special Administration Bureau. To put it bluntly, he could be called the treasure of the town bureau.
However, all this changed completely after the adoption of the big white cat Longlong in the winter solstice.
Seeing that Chaosheng had fallen out of favor, he ran away from home in anger, wanting to see if anyone came out to look for him, and begged him to go back with tears in his eyes.
No.
Seeing Chaosheng, he had to go back in despair.
As a result, he found that he could not even secure his status as the treasure of the town hall.
Because a group of little girls were surrounding the big white cat with red hearts. The big white cat is not like a tidal looking cat, arrogant and not allowed to touch it.
Seeing the tide, he was so angry that he rushed over to chase after the big white cat and bit him.
You old-fashioned humans!
Humans hate it the most!
