Ying Touchang was only a small town, and Long Qi quickly found Old Man Wei. He and Fries were squatting and sitting together, still reminiscing on the sunny spot on the south slope. But the sunlight falling on his head and the outpouring of emotions of reuniting with old friends were not enough to dampen his heart. Even while chatting with Fries, he smoked cigarettes one after another, his face was bitter and heavy.
Long Qi was not polite to him and directly intercepted the relevant video clips and showed them to him to clarify Ronan's request and asked again:
"Can it be done?"
Zhao Xi was afraid that Old Man Wei didn't know Ronan's abilities, so he winked at Frith and asked him to give him a hint.
Fries was surprised that Ronan actually took the initiative to lend a helping hand and was more decisive than him. You must know that we are all adults. Friendships and friendships are one thing, and difficulties in reality are another thing.
How can we easily vomit before we have a thorough understanding of the changes in the human world that have occurred in the past ten years?
Old Man Wei is very sensitive. He is about to sink to the bottom and is sensitive to any branches floating in front of him.
"It can be done!" Old Man Wei's voice seemed to have returned to the loudness of the dock, and then became slightly lower, "I know, it's an opportunity."
But he was still squatting on the ground, smoking cigarettes that had been banned in most places in the city. His body was curled up into a ball, looking even thinner, and he couldn't see his former demeanor at all.
People present did not doubt his determination, but they could not help but doubt his ability. No matter how experienced the guide was from nearly twenty years ago, with his current physical condition, how much fuel is left in the tank?
Long Qi asked the key question: "Brother Wei, do you understand the boss's request?"
"Just call me Lao Yao."
Want a nickname to cheer you up?
Long Qi continued to communicate with him calmly: "Well, Lao Yao, Boss Luo is a good person, but he is also the kind of person who is very difficult to fool. You may not understand the extent of this 'difficulty to fool'..."
"I know." Lao Yao repeated it for the second time.
In fact, just because he doesn't know Ronan's background clearly proves that there is still a distance between his life circle and the other world. But that's okay, as long as he can provide professional and feasible solutions, there is no need to consider "difficult to fool" situations.
Lao Yao's "I know" actually means he knows in his heart that Long Qi, and even everyone present, including his old friend Fris, have doubts about his ability, at least his current state.
So does he himself.
But at this time, no matter what, he couldn't give up this opportunity. He could only express himself eagerly: "I know what Boss Luo means. He is studying the Hundun Order and Baifengjun.
"I'm familiar with these. The route is easy to tell and the time is easy to arrange. The focus is on sampling. More than ten sets of samples are the materials for making more than ten different 'masks', or the affinity medium that facilitates Lord Baifeng's blessing. …These are the peaks and nearby peaks where the Hundun Order sets up altars to offer sacrifices. As long as you can find the right place, it’s no problem!”
Ouch, that's really what happened.
Long Qi and Zhao Xi looked at each other: From this answer, Lao Yao's thinking ability and expression ability must be passable, and he is obviously familiar with the Hundun Order.
This is not over yet, Lao Yao is still showing off his ability: "In recent years, I rarely run away. The disciples I lead often take over the business of the Hundun Order, and they often come to ask me for advice. Therefore, Mr. Baifeng's I know everything about the activation area, the Hundred-faced Altar of the Hundun Order, and the most important Three Points and Ten Platforms!"
Zhao Xi asked curiously: "The Altar of Hundred Faces? Isn't it the Hundred-faced Sacrifice?"
Long Qi asked: "What are the three points and ten platforms?"
Just as Lao Yao was about to speak, Fries interrupted him.
Frith stood up and said to Long Qi: "Save your efforts and give him time to come up with a plan first. The boss won't stay too long."
Lao Yao was still working hard: "It's okay, I have an idea in my mind. In fact, the mountainous area is so big. Ordinary people have their own ways of walking. You have your own ways of walking. I understand."
Frith patted Lao Yao on the shoulder and told him to calm down: "I know you understand Lao Yao, but now you need to let Boss Luo know that you understand. Others, including us, are not important." Tiger glanced over and said, Walked away with hands behind his back.
Fries shook his head at Long Qi again: "Control it."
Long Qi looked into his eyes and nodded to indicate understanding.
Again: when it comes to secret sects, the best option is to avoid the public.
Even if you don't consider the issue of "teaching bad children", there is a more realistic situation: the live broadcast is for the world, and there will definitely be people from Lake City. If you really meet a fanatical believer and suddenly stab him in the back and shout "Heaven punishes the heretic" next to his body... it would be too unfair.
But this matter cannot be troubled by Long Qi.
"This is easy to handle."
He began to adjust the camera and showed the surrounding environment to the millions of viewers who were still wearing jaw balls, focusing on the crowds around the square.
"Since the morning, the live broadcast has been more than 3 hours. It's meal time now. Most people here at Yingtou Field have gone back to make meals. Let's go and replenish energy. Depending on the situation in the afternoon, it will be online from time to time. If the situation does not allow it, There's nothing I can do... Come on, come on, the macho team is waving to everyone, I love you!"
He signaled the people on site to respond, and Zhao Xi was eager to give it a try; only then did Lao Yao realize that there was a live broadcast, and was stunned for a moment; Fries simply kicked him over.
It turned out that Frith's arrangement was not very accurate.
Ronan gave Lao Yao plenty of time to prepare for the "interview", and Lao Yao himself really lived up to his expectations. Even though he looks like he has been thrown out of society by an entire generation, he still has most of his housekeeping skills, and he is really good at it. Following Ronan's request and relying on his own half-worn daily wearable equipment, he quickly came up with a route plan with pictures and texts. Two sets were produced in succession, and a third set was being prepared.
During this period, he still had enough energy to explain key concepts such as "Three Points and Ten Platforms" to Long Qi Zhao Xi.
"It's simple to put it bluntly: the Hundun Order claims to have selected a hundred peaks in the activation area as the official venue for the 'Hundred Faces Festival'. Each peak symbolizes a blessing power of Lord Baifeng, and is also a The 'old phase' believed in by other sects that have merged in is the place where the power of Lord Baifeng blends.
"Strictly speaking, not all of those hundred peaks are in the activation zone, quite a few are in the periphery. For example, south of Yingtou Field, less than two kilometers across the river, yes, that is actually the top of the mountain."
Lao Yao does know the surrounding area well.
"They build an altar and perform blood sacrifices on it to please Lord Baifeng and obtain blessings. They do it at least once a year, and this year should be soon... ugh!"
Lao Yao sighed inexplicably and shook his head: "Among these hundred peaks, thirteen are definitely in the activation zone, and most of them are in the active zone near the main peak area.
"Here, the three highest peaks are called the 'Three Peaks', and the others are the 'Shitai', which are the most important sacrificial sites of the Hundun Order. It is said that the top leaders of the Order will hold sacrifices here to obtain the true status of Lord Baifeng. of blessing.”
Zhao Xi finally realized: "I think I heard someone say it last night, and I almost forgot it all. So Boss Luo means to go to these altars and Jianjian to see more about the relationship between Bai Fengjun and the Hundun Order. How it works…and then what?”
No one gave him an answer.
Long Qi said "tsk" and asked half jokingly and half seriously: "Old Yao, you are so familiar with the things inside, have you joined the religion?"
Lao Yao pinched the butt of his cigarette and smiled bitterly: "If it's the Hundun Order, no."
"That……"
"I belong to a small sect called the 'Awareness Society', which is...well, it was originally a branch of a large religious order. However, the sect is now seeking to become independent and merge into the Hudun Order."
Long Qi and Zhao Xi were both shocked: "What kind of operation is this?"
"The Hudun Order allows this. As for the 'Awareness Society', something happened to the big sect we used to be close to, and we need to cut it off quickly. It has no meaning to exist anymore, but everyone said that it can be done under the Hundun Order. Give it a try... just give it a try."
Long Qi could see that Lao Yao was deliberately vague about the "big religious group that had the accident", and there must be something unspeakable about it. It doesn't matter, as long as he is unambiguous in front of the boss.
He glanced at Frith, who seemed to be in a daze, but it was more likely that he was contacting someone through text messages.
Long Qi pretended not to see it and smiled back: "Your sect is really interesting. You can jump back and forth like this? What do you believe in?"
"It's not surprising. Most of the secret sects have no faith! The last one went there just for money and sex. It was all deception. The one who was a little angry was Mu Qiang, who was seduced by the extraordinary power. Try your best to get closer."
Zhao Xi has dealt with many such cases in the Burner team and has a deeper understanding: "Those who are promising have already become like the three major religious orders in the era of great distortion. No matter how unsatisfactory they are, they must be like Hundun and Xueyan." A local powerhouse like the Order..."
"Be careful Mrs. Halder comes looking for you."
Zhao Xi shut up immediately.
Lao Yao smiled bitterly: "I really don't have much faith. Those who have faith in the circle around me just hang out together. In addition, this body is too tortured. I need to use the meditation in the sect and the 'awareness circle' to relieve it." Just wait. For this kind of effect, if you wear a mask in the Hundun Order, it will be enough. I will fight for one even if I die."
"Awareness ring?"
"I don't know if it's hypnosis or something, but when we meditate together, there will be such an 'object' in our consciousness... At that time, the physical sensation is cut off, and it is not so uncomfortable, and that's all. So many people here are They are old homeless people who are terminally ill or have sequelae of infection, that’s what the circle is like.”
Long Qi was silent.
Although the effect of "Awareness Ring" is not new, it already has some shadow of extraordinary power. Moreover, if the condition of "meditating together" is true, then it even has a shadow of Ronan's "Blood Intent Ring" - they are all "constructed and co-constructed" in the spiritual ocean.
At least that's what it sounds like.
Zhao Xi's thinking diverged from another angle: "I just wanted to say it last night. The expansion model of the Hundun Order is not like annexing others, but more like 'others' taking the initiative to blend in and get a share of the pie... Boss Fu , what do you think?"
After hearing this, Fries raised his head and thought for a moment before replying: "That's what it means. It feels like some genius found a strategy to take advantage of Baifeng-kun, and then others followed up and imitated it."
"Yes, right? The Hundun Order serves as a rallying cry, and of course it has mastered the relevant patents. By releasing the right to use the patent, everyone has the same purpose, and they all want to take advantage of Lord Baifeng, and the higher-ups of the Order are taking advantage of it..."
Zhao Xi was getting excited about the discussion when Liu Fengming summoned him and invited Lao Yao into the room, where his "interview" began.
Lao Yao glanced at Fries subconsciously, then took a deep breath, cheered up, and walked quickly over there.
The "interview" took longer than expected.
Probably considering the relationship issue, Fries did not follow the past to "support the scene", but just paced back and forth in the square. Except for the tiger on the west side of the south slope, he did not dare to go. Other places where people could stand were almost impossible for him. Shopping all over.
Zhao Xi was tired of looking at it: "It's time to talk about fairness and justice again. The boss is actually very easy to talk to. It's really no big deal to bring one... They say his time is precious. If he doesn't want to help, will he keep talking for so long? What are you worried about? Yo!"
"Yeah." Long Qi responded casually.
Then he went to a nearby small supermarket and ordered three bottles of extremely expensive energy drinks. He threw one bottle to Zhao Xi and took the other two bottles to Frith.
As for the tiger, just pretend not to see it.
Long Qi chatted with Frith: "I seem a little troubled, sir. I won't buy you any wine during the mission... How does the coffee taste?"
"OK thanks."
"The electronic invoice has been sent to you, remember to reimburse it, thank you."
"...I'll invite you."
"Okay, it's a deal!"
After Fries vented the psychological hurt that Zhao Xi had so shamelessly reflected on him, Long Qi felt a little more comfortable and started talking about business.
"The old medicine thing seems not that simple, right?"
