Although they didn't know what kind of medicine Bai Laohan was selling, Xiao Qian and Huang Laoxie were happy to accept the result. Yang Yi only tilted her head slightly, smiled and said nothing. At this time, the handsome guy Bai shouted: "Cook, come out and play juggling." In the midst of our confusion, a young man came out and looked around. He was thin, but he looked very strong, with broad shoulders and a bit dark. , the kind with an athlete's body type. After he came out, he nodded to everyone, then made a human flag on a tree, then did a Russian push-up, and then did a one-handed pull-up. Just when I was stunned, the cook actually changed his hand and made a one-handed horizontal cross support. I admired him so much that he was more like a piece of wool. I waved my hand directly, "Abstain, admit defeat." Xiaoqian was unhappy, frowned, and glared at me, "You have to fight for it no matter what, and directly admitting defeat is not the style of the fifth subject, it is a shame." "Then I can only do push-ups. Ah." At this time, the handsome guy Bai came over and said with a smile: "The comparison is intuitive, the same. Let's do it this way. Those juggling can't be compared directly, just push-ups. You can pick any one of our people and compare it. Push-ups." At this time, Xiao Qian said, "In this case, I will pick you Bai Ke. I don't know if Bai Ke can keep his word." "Nan Ke is interesting. When you get older, you have to compete with the younger ones. Let's compete. But little brother, please show some humility to me, you do it first." So I used all my strength to do one hundred and eighty-six push-ups. I was so exhausted that I couldn't get up from lying down. The handsome guy Bai looked at me with a smile and said, "Wow, I've done so much, I have to do at least one hundred and eighty-seven to win." After saying that, he leaned over and started doing it, and finished one hundred without any pain. After eighty-seven push-ups, the handsome guy Bai stood up and clapped his hands and laughed at himself: "Old man, when I was young, it was a matter of two or three hundred." I suddenly felt that I was here to embarrass myself. Looking at Xiao Qian again, his face was expressionless. Huang Laoxie looked like he was watching the fun. The handsome guy Bai laughed and said, "You lost the second round, so you have to work harder in the third round."
I'm too lazy to compete. This is obviously a trick. If it weren't for the way Xiao Qian suppressed his anger, I would have suspected that Huang Laoxie deliberately arranged for people to make fun of me. But if this is the case, I have to express my opinion. The handsome old man Bai shouted again: "Locksmith, come out to play." At this time, another young man walked out, of medium build, fair and thin. He said to the handsome guy Bai, "I'm not suitable. I can't beat the cook in a fight." "Hey, let's practice, let's compete with this little brother." So, the young man named Locksmith made an ordinary hug. He was fighting, but he read two strange words: "The wind and rain started in Zhongshan, but the crouching tiger did not come out. The black dragon was unable to descend, and it came out of Qinjiang in panic. Showing its ugliness with the Crouching Tiger Fist." "Wait, wait, wait, ask weakly, why It's called Crouching Tiger Fist. It sounds so weird." The locksmith looked disgusted and said: "I never thought there was someone more scared than me. I'm sure you will be my friend. My brother is optimistic about you. Let's spar." I saw him suddenly Pulling my shoulders back, I thought he was about to strike, but it turned out to be a very fast punch. The power was overwhelming and magnificent. At that moment, I couldn't dodge or block with all my strength, so I could only block it with the technique of a boy worshiping Guanyin. At the moment of contact, I felt a strong and yang-inducing force that was rapidly transmitted from my palms to both arms to the chest where it met, impacting at the Huagai point, and spreading to the whole body. My whole body's tissues shrank like an electric shock. Before I had time to react, the second punch came again. I hurriedly raised my elbow to block, and the locksmith also hurriedly changed from fist to palm to receive the defensive elbow. However, it seemed that his hand was hurting, so he defended himself. Attack again. I took the opportunity to kick to the side, and he raised his knee to catch it, but he only took a few steps back.
Just when I was about to use offense as defense because I was afraid of the locksmith's strength, the handsome old man Bai said again: "Okay, okay, stop, until the point is reached, the unarmed fight is considered a draw, how about Nanke, let's compare weapons again?" Xiao Qian also seemed to be watching the fun, and happily agreed.
After a while, Yang Yi brought two similar bamboo poles and threw them to me and the locksmith respectively. I was thinking about why this is going to continue to test me? The joke is a bit big. Then I will show off, and I shouted: "Wait a minute, brother locksmith, look at your figure, your lines are tight, and you look energetic. I just got in close contact with you, and I feel that your breath is smooth and strong. It seems that It contains huge internal energy, and you breathe pure Qi, so you should be in harmony with the five internal organs, the five elements, and the yin and yang, which proves that you belong to the best harmonious life form. Others will not envy you. But I don’t understand why your fists Carrying the Qi that strengthens and strengthens the Yang is beyond my scope of knowledge." "Brother, you also understand. Okay, I'll treat you to dinner later and let you know. Now let's practice." "Okay, let's learn from each other first. ."
I held the end of the stick in both hands and stood in a half lunge, while the locksmith casually placed the stick near my waist. The two of us stood confronting each other for a while, and the locksmith suddenly said, "If we don't hit him, we will be bitten to death by mosquitoes, and we will have several bags on our arms." After saying this, he swung the stick towards me quickly, but suddenly I pointed the stick a little and poked me in the face. The long stick was easier to dodge. I swung it sideways and attacked the locksmith's leg. The locksmith blocked with the stick in his backhand, turned around and jumped out of my attack range. I looked at his back. The opportunity came for me. I slid forward and stabbed the locksmith with the stick in one hand. But as soon as I let go of the stick with my left hand, the locksmith suddenly made an extremely subtle turn and stabbed me with the stick. I was shocked and quickly Pull back the tail of the stick, and hurriedly hold the tail of the stick with your left hand to block. Just listen to a crisp "pop". My bamboo pole was cut into two pieces by the locksmith's stick. The head of his club was still an inch or so from my heart. I threw away the stick and said, "I am convinced that I have lost." "No, brother, for all these years, you are the only one who has blocked my counterattack, and the only one who has blocked my Hidden Dragon Fist is the cook. This time it is a draw." There’s no need to comfort me, I know you slowed down and haven’t exerted your strength yet, otherwise I wouldn’t be able to catch the head of the stick, and I didn’t even step back.”
The handsome guy Bai came out to speak again, "This game is considered a draw with bare hands, and the equipment has not touched the opponent, so it is considered a draw. However, we have two draws and one win in four subjects, so we must take the four subjects as the winner. What do you think about Nanke?" Xiao Qian was very happy, "I am willing to admit defeat. Bai Ke will be the leader and I will be the deputy."
So, in this reversal, everyone happily reached an agreement, and the fourth and fifth subjects cooperated, or merged. In the end, handsome guy Bai suggested that it was not suitable to operate the barrier at night. In order to prevent accidents, it was better to operate it during the day. Just one minute less. Anyway, the barrier is guarded, and any abnormalities can be discovered in time. Everyone goes to rest first. Start tomorrow morning.
On the way to the hotel, the handsome old man Bai suddenly said that he didn’t bring too many people with him this time. He had a good stick called a slug stick. He would give it to me next time. I thought it was called a fairy stick. Yang Yi seemed thoughtful again, but didn't express anything. No one else seemed to care. Huang Laoxie always smiled happily.
Soon, everyone came to the hotel. The handsome guy Bai said that he was new and wanted to treat everyone to dinner. He specially invited Nanke from the five subjects, Professor Huang, Wu Yong, and Xiao Tang. But Xiao Tang stayed at the guard station to help, so it was just the three of us.
As soon as we entered the private room, familiar people were already waiting for us. The handsome guy Bai, Yang Yi, a locksmith, a cook, and a beautiful and sexy uniform seduces the girl who doesn’t recognize him. Oh, he turns out to be a restaurant waiter.
After sitting down, the handsome guy Bai greeted everyone politely and tactfully told the seductive girl in uniform that there was no need for service in the box and she could just go and rest. The girl went out very wisely, and I guess the other men here were also a little bit regretful.
Compared with the beginning on the mountain, everyone is more relaxed now, and there is no longer the tit-for-tat and tense atmosphere. After drinking a cup of low-quality wine with everyone, the handsome guy Bai opened up to us: "Nanke, Professor Huang came here relatively late, and we hardly interact with each other in various subjects, so there are some things that you don't know. . Perhaps I have heard something about why our five departments seem to have no contact with each other and do not share much information." I looked at Xiao Qian and Huang Laoxie in confusion. Huang Laoxie took a sip of Guizhou wine and said, "Bai Are you going to tell us the dusty history?" Xiao Qian took a sip of dry red wine and said: "Baike, please continue, we are all ears."
The handsome old man Bai introduced us to the history of these departments while drinking low-quality wine. Maybe they are taking care of me, starting from the beginning, I can only raise dry white paper to greet them from time to time. According to handsome guy Bai, after the founding emperor conquered the country, he summoned the army and private experts to centrally manage and defend the imperial city. Later, I felt that doing so was a huge waste, so I divided the work among the group of people. Some were responsible for collecting information, some were responsible for handling abnormal things, some were responsible for security, etc. Moreover, they were directly ordered by the emperor and could requisition all non-human resources. Therefore, this department was extremely powerful at that time. However, since they are all private activities, the public does not know the existence of this department at all. Concentrated power is easy to control, but it also tends to breed corruption. Many years later, the founding emperor's health failed, and there was an undercurrent surging below. The various overt and covert struggles were much more exciting than the palace dramas on TV, but there was a prince who had a better chess and actually won over this department. Therefore, the matter becomes unsuspicious. After the prince came to power, he was afraid of this powerful behind-the-scenes department, but he also needed to rely on this department. Therefore, he thought of a way to split the department. There were seven departments in total. Later, due to personnel losses, it became five. indivual. The most important thing is that there is a fictitious general person in charge. People in each department work on their own and basically have no contact with each other. There are also clandestine fights and sabotage for the person in charge. These records are kept confidential within the department, and only personnel with more than 20 years of experience have access to them.
Xiao Qian took another sip of dry red wine: "Why do you want Bai Ke to tell us this, including the three colleagues from the Fourth Section?" Old handsome guy Bai took another sip, "Do you know why you can come to the Fifth Section? The overall strength of the Fifth Section staff is not high. ?" "Of course I was ordered to take office. Aren't the people in the fifth subject good enough?" "Oh, don't worry about Nanke. I'm happy today. I won't ask you anymore. Just pretend you don't know anything. Just think I'm talking. Okay, story." Xiao Qian took another sip of dry red wine and said, "I'm all ears."
Bai Laoshuai sighed: "Due to the development of the times, the superiors rely less and less on this department. Coupled with the guidance of the structure, the originally arrogant elites from all walks of life no longer work together as a rope. Cooperate, but work independently, just like a plate of loose sand. Since nothing major happened, the emperors never touched the structure again and enjoyed it. It's a pity that we have to eat the bitter fruit ourselves." "What bitter fruit?" Xiao Qian asked . "Fifteen years ago, a major project was being carried out secretly in a deep mountain. With the help of advanced machinery, they could quietly dig very deep under the mountain. But suddenly one night, something happened. Outsiders We couldn't contact the people underground, and there were no signs of landslides. Even the military guards couldn't be contacted. Because it was a special project, we temporarily dispatched the nearest special forces to check it out, and also called in the surrounding militiamen with good composition to assist. The location was too remote, so the special forces and militiamen arrived one after another the next morning. Then the special forces used drones with infrared sensors and wireless cameras to enter. As a result, the drones found no signs of life or landslides along the way, so The members of the special force suspected that there was poisonous gas in the cave, so they put on gas masks and entered. The militiamen were poorly equipped and guarded the entrance. Soon after entering, someone suddenly discovered a small number of lifelike statues of unknown creatures on the stone walls and top. The captain was suddenly horrified. This is not an art museum or a temple. How can there be stone sculptures? Could it be a mechanism? So I carefully hit it with a gun. As a result, the stone sculpture fell to the ground and moved. Although the movement was slow, it still moved. The captain quickly used a wire mesh to catch it. As a materialist, the captain thought for a long time and decided to bet his own future to save the lives of the team members. The report to the superior was a Category A incident. In the end, he took the two bodies of the unfortunate victims and retreated, leaving behind Two sets of cameras continue to observe.
