In the spacious private room filled with fragrance, four beautiful girls danced a brisk dance together. After all, it was hot, and they were dressed too cool in the room without opening the windows. This was originally supposed to be the kind of dance with uniform visual effects and an emphasis on cooperation and coordination, but several girls had their own thoughts and tried too hard to depict their own advantageous lines, which made it look messy.
In this regard, Yi Zhaochen has no trained appreciation ability. To put it bluntly, he only has rich experience accumulation. At least now, his mind is clearly not here. He didn't know how long he would have to wander like this, he didn't know what other ways to go, and he didn't know where to go to have fun, so that he could relieve the feeling that was stuck in his heart.
Today is not a working day, and he is not going out as a section chief - although he is driving a car owned by the Public Security Department. He was wearing civilian clothes. Having said that, those clothes outside of work are just clean and plain shirts. In other words, the Yi Zhaochen that people usually see is too formal. The only fancy thing is the pair of tortoiseshell glasses fastened to his face.
Although it looks ordinary, you can still feel the weight of money when you touch it. Special practitioners in many places talked about this and thought about how to dig into the section chief's wallet in a way that was consistent with his worth. This is not difficult because he has never been secretive. He frequently attends these occasions, both in public and private matters, and has long been too lazy to pay attention to maintaining his so-called image. Now, he doesn't mind the small matter of using the bus directly for private use. Anyway, Director Yi didn’t express his opinion.
That's what bothered him.
This kind of place is much lower-end than Feiyewan, so you don't have to expect the quality of makeup and aromatherapy to be that high. It is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. This saying is true. If you smell too much of burning money, this vulgar powder will become pungent. The girls came forward, their slightly sweaty skin was smooth and shiny, with a bit of melted powder, and he was thinking about whether to put his hand on it.
"I thought you would go somewhere that better matches who you are."
This man is not very good at talking, and one sentence offended five people in the room at the same time. After all, even if the price of spending a night with a few girls here is not as high as having dinner with a random dancer in Feiye Bay. A sixth person suddenly appeared standing at the door. He took off his dark gray hat and held it in front of his chest. It was difficult for Yi Zhaochen to tell whether it was dirty or its original color.
"What are you doing! What a shameless person."
"Don't you know there's someone here? Get out!"
"Go away, don't disturb the master's interest."
The girls were all hurling accusations. However, what this man said was correct. In a cheaper place like this, the quality of both the staff and the guests varies. There are never a few young people who dress up like him in an old-fashioned way, with "classical" matching, and with faces that look like they don't know what they are here for. They are often treated as bumpkins who are new to the land of fireworks, and are slaughtered by the girls. Sometimes they don't even want to make a few bucks, and it's common for them to be sent away with just a humiliation.
In comparison, no matter who is sitting in the room, girls with less far-sighted eyes know whose expressions to look at first.
"go out."
Yi Zhaochen just echoed the girl, speaking briefly and without any emotion in his tone.
"If I tell myself my family name, you probably don't want others to know what kind of people you associate with."
The girls thought he was putting on airs and started yelling at each other. Yi Zhaochen just said lightly:
"Looking for trouble or cooperation? Kaiyangqing is in the main office, waiting for orders."
"I'm only looking for you."
Yi Zhaochen finally turned his head and looked at him directly, instead of just squinting at him. The man still had his hat in his hand. He had short hair parted in the middle and wore a neat formal suit, but his color was a grayish white. If it weren't for the fact that the dress had been ironed to be smooth and wrinkle-free, Zhaochen would have suspected that it was dirty. Personally, he still likes white clothes. Anyway, he changes them frequently and is not afraid of old clothes. He seemed to smell the scent of soap locust in the perfume.
"You guys go out first."
Now it was the girls' turn to be confused. While hesitating, Yi Zhaochen threw a wad of banknotes on the table. The girl nestled in his arms had sharp eyes and quick hands and picked it up, so her sisters fought with her to get to the door. The person next to him crawled over his lap. He felt that he was very light and stiff. Maybe he didn't dare to eat a few full meals to maintain his body shape.
"explain."
He rested his hands on the back of the sofa to support his temples, and his impatient tone sounded like "precise".
The man with a middle-parted comb put his hat on the edge of the table, bowed slightly in greeting, and then sat on the soft chair opposite him. Every move he made made Yi Zhaochen feel an unspeakable feeling of disgust. It's not that I'm disgusted, not to mention that the other party hasn't said a few words yet. Maybe it's the middle-aged demeanor, the overly simple aesthetics of clothing, and the subtle movements that seem to be holding up. It's too subtle, but not too artificial, so the faces of several private school teachers from more than 20 years ago appeared in Zhaochen's mind uncontrollably.
"I am Yufuhuaihuang Maoyuejun." The man said calmly, "I guess you know why I came to your door."
"It's the Six Paths of Impermanence again."
Yi Zhaochen leaned forward, took out a cigarette from his arms, took out a match and lit it, and then threw the matchbox onto the table. Uoyuki-kun glanced at the pattern of flowers and fire printed on the carton, waiting for his next words.
It wasn't until Yi Zhaochen slowly exhaled a cloud of smoke as if sighing that he said again:
"Then you guessed wrong, I don't know."
"No, you know. Not long ago, you used Wumeixiang to participate in talks with other star disciples and Six Paths Impermanence."
Yi Zhaochen spread out one hand with a cigarette between his fingers.
"So? To be honest, I was also pulled over by Yi Hui'an. I didn't realize that I was dreaming at first... I just said how could these group of monsters and monsters live in the same room peacefully. However, I don't remember your ranking in."
"Yes. You should also know during the meeting that the incense was provided by Qing Tianji, even though he himself did not attend in the later period. The rest of us have to travel around as we did in the past. For some reasons, The spiritual tide in the world is declining, and we are no longer as busy as we were a long time ago. Therefore, if there is a gathering in Yaozhou, we don’t have to worry about lack of manpower elsewhere. But similarly, we have lost the most suitable shortcuts, and our transportation is the same as that of ordinary people. , it became troublesome. So it took me and my colleagues a lot of effort to find out your location."
"You don't have to tell me so many things, I don't understand. What on earth are you looking for me for?"
Yi Zhaochen knocked off the ashes of his cigarette and leaned back again, with impatience written on his face.
"Every star disciple is surrounded by the Six Paths of Impermanence. You should still remember that there are a few star disciples who are always absent."
"It always comes from somewhere. I've only been there once. It's Tianji Qing, Tianquan Qing, Tianshu Qing and Yaoguang Qing. Aren't Tianji Qing and Tianquan Qing represented by Ying Yuejun and Shui Wujun? ?Although Lord Yingyue disagrees. Yaoguangqing Chenxing has never seen her appear in Yaozhou. I remember they mentioned it, this woman always lives alone and no one has seen her."
"Yes. Guiyang Yuejian and Ye Yuejun have a fairly harmonious relationship with her, and it is difficult for the rest of us to see her."
"So... what does it have to do with me? You've been talking for a long time, what's the point?" Yi Zhaochen stubbed out the cigarette butt, "Let me tell you, my mood is already very unhappy. I originally wanted to sort it out myself. Yi Huian suddenly dumped all the information on me, acting as if she took it all for granted, and didn't even mean to give out any information. Why on earth does she have it? If you are like her, you are just here to talk about these things. If you don't want to humiliate me, you'd better get out before I get angry."
Utsuki-kun looked a little confused. He really didn't know where Yi Zhaochen's anger came from. Logically speaking, it can probably be deduced that it is because my long-term efforts are just common sense in the eyes of others, and the moment the information is shared, I only feel a great emptiness rather than joy. However, Utsuki-kun himself cannot understand those emotions. Maybe it has something to do with him not being fully human.
"I thought I had made it very clear. Okay, let me try again. There are six impermanences around the star disciples observing their every move. And now, the people I want to mention to you are not the above-mentioned people, but It’s Qing Tianshu.”
Yi Zhaochen straightened the frame slightly.
"Qing Tianshu...is there any problem? No one knows who this person is. What's more, when I first came into contact with the relevant cases, he himself was either dead, or had long been anonymous, or even escaped. Yaozhou.”
"You have to know that Star Disciple is never a specific person. Tridacna is a special magic weapon, because it has been processed and has been broken into pieces. The blue amber is also damaged, but the main body has not been completely destroyed, but its function has been slightly affected. Impact. The Tridacna was equally divided into thirteen parts along the golden thread. Nowadays, it is scattered all over Yaozhou."
"None of my business."
"Whether it has anything to do with you, you might as well think about it carefully."
"How did you know? Stole it from... a dream?"
After saying that, a white and smooth clam bead appeared in Yi Zhaochen's hand.
He discovered this little thing on the first day he arrived at the crime scene. At that time, the evidence office collected several of them, but he found this one himself and hid it quietly. He was the only one present at the time who knew what it was and how important it was. He had been secretly paying attention to it for a long time, and he immediately seized the opportunity and prepared to start the case of the magic weapon from this matter. However, Yi Hui'an was too keen and pulled Section Chief Bai from the Administrative Section over overnight and sent him away.
He quickly cut off this only clue. Just when he was worried about how to intervene in matters among the star disciples, she, Yi Hui'an, used the excuse of family members to speak frankly. It's perfectly normal for him to feel indignant.
"No, the power of dreams belongs to Lord Yingyue. Not all things in the Six Paths of Impermanence are interrelated. What's more, the information in dreams is also deceptive, and it often needs to be verified with the real world. The Six Paths of Impermanence have other methods to trace the magic weapon. holder."
"Do you mean that the current Tianshu Qing is me?"
Yi Zhaochen found it incredible. He didn't feel joy, only confusion, trouble, and...full of unknown threats and challenges.
"No. We can't be sure about this. The fact that the magic weapon is divided but does not lose its function, and is held by different people at the same time, does not seem to be determined by the size and quantity. Everyone who gets the Tridacna has Watch closely."
"……how many people?"
"I'm sorry. How many people there are and who they are are not information that I fully know and should not be confided in easily."
"Tch. I see that Zai Wuchang and Xing Disciple have a very good relationship, and I thought you were here to help me."
"In the past, most of my colleagues kept a distance from the Star Disciples and reduced their interference. After all, our duty has always been to just watch from the sidelines. But they basically use inheritance from children as the main method of transmission, and the impermanence will more or less be inconsistent with Human families are connected. However, time and cases have proven that directly establishing a positive relationship with the star disciples can avoid a lot of subsequent troubles."
"No wonder. The co-authors are all a den of snakes and rats. If everyone who dies is sent away, or if the magic weapon is plundered by others through violence, will you also be sad and intervene?"
"No. It is true that some people will feel sad, but a long time can help us get out of grief quickly. Non-partiality and non-interference are the basic principles of the six realms of impermanence. If such a thing happens, it will be forced to intervene. "
"You are really hard-hearted in this business." Yi Zhaochen sneered, "It's quite hypocritical when you think about it."
"From the standards of most humans, you may be right. The way you see the star disciples and impermanence getting along harmoniously today is a situation that has been replaced by constant trial and error and selection. It is the result of hundreds of years of evolution. The result - is only in line with the current era. The more distant future, Tianji Qing, cannot know. It is also an example of inconsistent ideas or emotional interference, which is pulled away by impermanence. As for whether I am willing to provide you with your ideas. Help and intelligence depend on whether our philosophies are aligned.”
"What's your philosophy?"
"I have my own answers to pursue."
Yi Zhaochen sighed deeply. He suddenly missed Tang Yu a little.
