We slept in a mountain-style hotel in Jiuyuan for one night. Everyone woke up a little sluggish the next day. There were so many things happened yesterday, so many that it’s hard to believe that they all happened in one day.
Lu Ning yawned, took the kettle and walked outside the house to stretch, and found Chen Hang looking around at the door.
"What are you looking at?"
"The Taoist priest my dad contacted is about to arrive. I'll wait here. I don't know what that Taoist priest is like. I have occasionally glimpsed Sister Song on some important occasions before. This time..." Chen Hang's expression is quite serious now, "Li Wenyue, I'm very worried. I don't believe that so many Taoist priests have the kind of heart that Daoist Master Lu and Sister Song have. We have also seen that many Taoist priests are running for fame and fortune. Although this is normal , but I cannot entrust my trust to such a person."
"You have thought about it seriously."
"Zhou Shilan's family hasn't let her know about some situations in the company and society, but I'm different. I can be rude, ease the tension here, or even act like a clown. But I need a practical solution to the problem. And the fundamental problem is our Solitaire, right?"
"what do you think?"
"I plan to go directly to Tongfang Town." Chen Hang said, "What is the problem with the president and that Bali worker? I must find out. Either we solve those ghosts, or we are killed by ghosts. Anyway, the result It’s all our fight.”
Lu Ning laughed.
"Li Wenyue, don't laugh at me. I know you are also thinking about these problems. What we encountered is not a simple matter, that's why we came to such a far away place... Look at old money, our home is gone, I Everyone admires his mentality and how he can still maintain normal rational thinking."
"Okay, I agree."
"I... hmm? You agreed?" Chen Hang was obviously a little surprised, "What about Bai Li here?"
"We came here in the first place because Mr. Jin said there was a way to survive here. I think we have obtained enough things to survive, whether it is ghost weapons or various intelligence, it is not without gain. Bai Li and we have solved two I'm the officiant. In the end, Pi Er will just let it go. I have no way of luring him out."
Chen Hang's face was overjoyed.
At this time, a person appeared on the mountain road outside.
It was a young male who looked no older than twenty-five years old. His hair was all dyed red and permed. He was not wearing a cotton-padded jacket in such a cold weather. He only had a black long-sleeved shirt with an eye socket on the front. There was a white skull with a knife stuck in it, and his trousers were gray-green trousers with a lot of pockets. He was carrying a travel backpack, and he looked around with a look of novelty on his face.
Then, under Chen Hang's slightly surprised gaze, he walked up and stopped two meters away, took out his mobile phone and swiped twice, then compared it, and finally showed a smile on his face.
"Hey! Are you Chen Hang? I'm the helper your dad hired. My name is Duan Ye. Can you make a friend?"
Chen Hang was stunned, and Lu Ning whispered teasingly: "He is indeed a guy who seems to be able to get along with you."
Fortunately, Chen Hang is also a good friend. After he realized what he was doing, he started to warmly greet Duan Ye and get close to him. Duan Ye was also very familiar with him. Within two minutes, the two of them were holding each other's shoulders and bragging to each other. Good buddy.
But the rest of the people had similar reactions after seeing Duan Ye.
Yan Zidan and Lu Ning had met Taoist priests drinking and chatting before, but even those people always showed some familiarity with the Taoist circle in their sentences. And this Duan Ye... It's not that he is glib or anything like that, it's just that he seems a little too out of touch with the Taoist profession.
From football and basketball, to video games, to movies, celebrities, cars, and travel, it is also because Chen Hang is someone who can play the same game. Otherwise, I might not be able to handle Duan Ye's chatting. At the same time, the two of them got to know each other enthusiastically for almost half an hour, without saying a word to the topic.
Lu Ning could also see that it wasn't that Chen Hang didn't want to, but that Duan Ye deliberately took the topic astray.
Several girls exited, and under the signal from Lu Ning's eyes, they returned to her room, closed the door, and started discussing.
"Zhou Shilan, do you know this person?" Lu Ning asked.
"I didn't even know Mr. Jin before..." Zhou Shilan also looked confused, "But I know a little bit about Chen Hang's father, he is a very stable man. This is his son... How could he find such a person? Come?"
"Maybe he has some skills? Didn't we think Qimei was incompetent before, but actually he still has some skills?" Teng Xuan said bluntly.
"He must be a Taoist priest, we just don't know what his specific level is. The three Taoist priests called some companions and they all just sacrificed their lives to replace some of the ghost men of the previous man behind the scenes. Can this person guarantee our safety? Yan Zidan said, "I'm not saying that we definitely need someone to protect us, but he came here to protect Chen Hang and Zhou Shilan, right? He must have the strength to cope with the situation."
"How can we judge?" Zhou Shilan lowered her head, "We ourselves do not have the ability to judge the Taoist master's ability."
"Simple, Zhou Shilan, please ask him to do something for you later. If he can do it, it at least shows that his level is not low." Lu Ning raised the corner of his mouth.

Also this morning, a van drove out of Zaoyuanzhuang. There were five people in the van. Except for the driver, two of them were wearing black suits and seemed to be bodyguards. One was wearing a pullover with a chain even pulled up to his forehead, and the last person was talking on a cell phone. .
"Hello? Hello? Manager... Yes, I have already gone outside Zaoyuanzhuang. Yes, I have finished this part. Yes, the relevant people have been killed, and those who have not died are also crazy. I guarantee that one I can’t even say the words...Okay, okay. By the way, there is one more thing, which is to kill the students from the local Yaoge gang...Why don’t we continue to hunt them down? Maybe they will learn the truth."
"You did a good job, calm down, Leather Nail." A deep voice came from the phone. "As your induction report, you did a good job. You didn't leave anyone out, and those people were just It’s just another part of the company’s business.”
"Huh? Really? As expected of a manager. Then please...can I become one..."
"You are very smart and know how to restrain yourself. So one last thing, has the wish you made at Zaoyuan Manor been fulfilled?"
"Of course, of course. No one noticed that I did not use the white ritual method to perform the ceremony. I replaced the key steps with the ancient custom of keeping a vigil. Everything was carried out at night. The ten people needed for the ceremony had already been killed, but Unfortunately, this makes the range of wishes that can be made much narrower." Le Ding said as if asking for credit.
"Excellent, very outstanding... Pi Ding, although your background is not very outstanding, your brain is no worse than those people. But there is one thing I want to ask clearly - why did you use those people to solve Brother Yao? , come to ask me questions again even though I know it?"
Cold sweat broke out immediately.
"Yes... I'm sorry! I just want to know... about the company's strength... a little bit..."
"It is much wiser to tell the truth than to tell a few more lies." The deep voice said, "Relax, the company will not punish you for this kind of problem. It is an excellent way to use known resources to pave the way for your actions." quality."
"You... thank you for appreciating me."
"Yes, we emphasize excellence. People who are not excellent often cannot achieve much. Pi Ding, now you are a team leader, and your deputy and initial team are on the car you are riding on, but More team members need to be discovered by yourself. Now, we need you to participate in another of our projects."
"Please show me!"
"You need to return to Tongfang Town and prepare for our call to the Fourth Hell."
"My pleasure!"

"Ah? Looking for people related to Bai Li in this city?"
Although Chen Hang had to deal with Duan Ye's various useless topics, Zhou Shilan was the one who was very suitable for asking questions directly without starting a conversation, and Duan Ye also had to answer this question.
Chen Hang secretly wiped away a cold sweat.
"Yes, we encountered a car accident last night, and the police haven't come to our door so far. I think it may be related to Taoist ghosts and the like. But it must be related to our pursuit of Bai Li. If We can’t feel at ease unless this matter is resolved!”
"Hey, don't be so nervous. Okay, okay, is there someone related to Bai Li?" Duan Ye stood up with his hands folded and walked out of the room, and everyone followed him to the yard outside the door.
"The weather is really nice today!" Duan Ye looked up at the clear sky, "God, help me find someone here who is related to Bai Li!"
Now everyone, including Lu Ning, had question marks on their faces.
After Duan Ye finished yelling into the sky, he bent down and took off his shoes, threw them up into the sky, and the shoes spun several times in the air and landed with a squeaking sound.
Then Duan Ye pointed in the direction of the toes of his shoes and said, "Let's go!"
Everyone: "?"
Duan Ye's whole body was filled with a weird sense of absurdity. It's not like Lu Ning didn't know that some masters would indeed be wild, but when faced with the situation, would you trust a Taoist priest who just throws his shoes away? And the kind that only throws it once after walking a hundred meters?
Everyone got in the car, and Duan Ye continued to throw his shoes in the car to look for directions. When everyone was full of questions, the car finally stopped in front of the hospital on Dadong Road.
Duan Ye finally threw away his shoes, ignoring the strange looks from passers-by. This time the shoes spun in the air and fell into the trees beside the road.
"It's here!" Duan Ye picked up the shoe with the toe pointed to the sky and put it on, then rushed into the hospital excitedly.
"I think it would be better to send him back..." Chen Hang twitched the corner of his mouth.
"Follow it and read it." Lu Ning was used to it.
Entering the hospital, everyone found Chen Hang chatting with the nurse at the reception desk.
"Oh, Miss Nurse, just tell me. Before... just yesterday, were there a group of people suddenly sent in? A group of people with similar symptoms? Oh... don't hide it. Isn't it your task to answer consultations? "
"Sorry, we only answer some inquiries about the condition and give preliminary suggestions. Or you can ask if you don't know anything about the hospital, but the patient's privacy cannot be disclosed." the nurse replied.
"Don't be like this. How do you know if there is anyone I know among those people?"
"What is he doing again?" Qian Yipeng asked with a frown.
"Is this...inquiring about information?" Yan Zidan guessed.
At this moment, Duan Ye took out a wallet from his pocket and said with a smile: "Look, this is my ID. Miss nurse, can you please be accommodating?"
"You..." The nurse glanced at the ID and was about to say something, but her eyes suddenly became blank. Then Duan Ye put away his wallet with satisfaction and whispered: "Miss, did a group of patients come last night? "
"Yes, there are twenty-one people in total. All of them are suffering from mental illness, with symptoms of mania, depression, hallucinations, and amnesia. They are currently being treated in a psychiatric department or will be transferred to a specialized mental hospital for treatment."
"Does that mean these people are all in the psychiatric ward now?"
"That's right."
Duan Ye snapped his fingers, and the nurse's eyes became clear again, with confusion on her face. Duan Ye thanked him and turned back.
"You...you actually hypnotized the nurse?" Zhou Shilan was a little unbelievable.
"Ms. Zhou, you have to know that it's a waste of time if you don't use the convenient method. Combining Taoism and hypnosis can easily get the results you want." Duan Ye didn't care at all, "Especially We don’t want to waste a lot of time with ordinary people.”
"Let's go." Lu Ning saw that Duan Ye seemed to want to continue, so she interrupted him, "The time you saved will be wasted."
"Yes Yes Yes."
Lu Ning stared at Duan Ye's back, feeling something subtle in her heart.
Just now she was certain that Duan Ye did understand Taoism. She had never heard of any hypnosis technique that had such an immediate effect. She had no clear objection to Duan Ye's behavior, which indeed saved time. The problem is... Duan Ye's behavior can already show that his action style is different from Lu Ping and others.
If there is no problem with strength, then is this person trustworthy? It was hard for Lu Ning to believe that this person would really sacrifice his life for reasons such as exterminating demons and defending the Tao. She didn't expect anyone to protect her, but she also didn't expect an unreliable companion in the team.
Under Duan Ye's methods, the psychiatric ward could not stop everyone, and Duan Ye quickly opened the door of the ward.
Each patient was tied to the hospital bed with belts. Their eyes were red and their eyebrows were ferocious. They were still struggling on the bed. Their mouths were even gagged for fear that these people would bite their tongues.
"Oh, my spirit is destroyed." Duan Ye glanced at him and shrugged.
The symptoms of these people were exactly the same as those who attacked everyone last night. Duan Ye stepped aside and took a look at everyone, and said in a boring tone: "No matter what, these people will never be saved for the rest of their lives."
