I ended up taking a few buses before returning to Dahe Village.
When passing by the village entrance, Lao Cao waved to me.
I leaned over and put one hand on the window sill, "What advice do you have?"
"You were away all day today. Where were you?"
"I went to Mumo Mountain. Huang Xiangu wanted to protect Gaotian Temple, so I found a worker for him and took him over to show her. Is there something wrong?"
"What about last night?"
"Hey, do you have a spy kid? He's quite well informed. I was planning to tell you, but you knew it first."
"What do I know?"
"Wei Ba is dead. Isn't that what you always talk about?"
"Wei Ba died? When did it happen?"
Lao Cao frowned, looking shocked.
I patted the window sill and laughed, and said: "Your acting skills are so bad. If you really can't perform well next time, just keep a straight face and don't make any expression. No one can see your thoughts. You will be inferior in hard acting." .”
Lao Cao said impatiently: "Don't talk nonsense, how do you know Wei Ba is dead?"
"Yesterday, Immortal Master Long sent someone to treat me to dinner. He said he wanted to accept me as his disciple, but I had to submit a petition first. He taught me a banning technique and asked me to cast it on Wei Ba in the middle of the night. As long as Wei Ba fell ill after receiving the spell, even if I passed the test. I went to Wei Ba's residence in the middle of the night, but before I could use it, I saw Yan Jing coming out aggressively with a large group of horses. I figured something was wrong, so I I had the courage to go in and take a peek, only to see a masked man grabbing Wei Ba and driving nails into his shadow. I was startled and ran out quickly without daring to look further. But I could see It’s clear that the nail hit Wei Baying’s throat and he will definitely die.”
"So that's it. But Wei Ba is very capable, so he may not really be able to die. That's not what I want to tell you. There was a fight on the street last night, and it was very large. It was a riot all night long, and swords and guns were used. It happened to be filmed by a TV station recording a program on the street. The higher-ups issued an order today to carry out a concentrated attack to clean up those urban foxes and rats. Be careful and don’t let others take advantage of it. "
"What does this have to do with me? You keep watching me every day. I have never pulled a wrestler since I arrived in Jincheng, and I am not familiar with these people on the street. This matter has nothing to do with me."
"The one who did it was Wei Ba's subordinates, and the one who attacked was Ge Xiu's subordinates. This kind of thing has never happened since the Dixian Society was built. Someone must have been secretly instigating it. Do you dare to say that you were not involved?"
"Absolutely not. I just followed Immortal Long's instructions to cast the human banning technique, but the result has not been completed yet. Could it be that the one who killed Wei Ba was Ge Xiu or the person sent by Ge Xiu? Wei Ba's subordinates were angry, so Pulling people to take revenge? If this is really the case, I'm afraid it's just the beginning, and the big ones will come later. Wei Ba is not very popular. Ge Xiu wants to kill him, Long Xianye wants to curse him, and he and Wei Jie are incompatible. , but I don’t know what to do with Xu Wu.”
"Ge Xiu has no reason to kill Wei Ba, so this matter won't cause too much trouble. For the sake of the Earthly Immortal Society, Wei Jie will definitely come forward to mediate the matter and suppress the flames. At that time, the Earthly Immortal Society will only need to throw away Wei Ba's position as Immortal Master. Come out, those people under Wei Ba can be beaten to death first, so how can they think of revenge for Wei Ba."
"As long as it doesn't make a big fuss, I still want to make progress after becoming a disciple of Lord Longxian and try to get a place in the Earthly Immortal Association. If it makes too much of a fuss, the Earthly Immortal Guild will be disbanded, so I won't make any progress. Target.”
"If you are not motivated, let's talk about it. Don't go out and wander around during the past two days, so as not to be dragged in by rabbits. With a criminal record, it will be difficult to deal with it in the future."
"Come on, listen to me, I will be honest these two days. I will only receive medical treatment and not go out to fool around. Let's go!"
I waved my hand to Lao Cao, turned around and left. After taking two steps, I stopped and turned to look at Lao Cao, "I heard something when I was at Wei Ba's house. I don't know if you are interested in it." .”
Lao Cao's eyes flickered, "What's the matter? If you have any clues about the case, tell Zhang Baoshan, don't tell me."
"Wei Ba told Yan Jing that he wanted to transfer money, and he planned to send Yan Jing to Macau to keep an eye on it. This must be a channel for underground banks. If it wasn't Ge Xiu, who could do it? Wei Ba knew it himself. I offended some god, and I was ready to run away, but before I could run away, I was killed. You are well-informed, and there is nothing in the world of Jincheng that you don’t know. Can you give me 818? ?”
"How the hell do I know who wants Wei Ba to die? But listen to me, if you want to live a good life, don't get involved in things like these people. The Red Lotus Orthodox Sect is an evil sect recognized by the White Lotus Sect. If we really want to talk about it, they All of these people will die a good death!"
"Sure, I listen to your advice and I won't get involved. Oh, by the way, I'm going to Gaotian Temple tomorrow. I'll report it to you first so that you don't have to think too much."
"Why are you going again? You're almost done, don't disturb Huang Xiangu's Qingxiu."
"Huang Xiangu promised to see Zhao Kailai and asked me to take him there tomorrow."
Lao Cao's eyes widened.
This time it was an unabashed surprise.
"What the hell did you use to get Huang Xiangu to see Zhao Kailai? It has something to do with the person you brought to see her today, right?"
"You are so good at everything, I admire you, I admire you!"
I gave Lao Cao a thumbs up, said no more, turned around and went home.
I didn't go out again that day and spent all my time reading those two booklets.
During the evening class, I copied part of The Theory of Contradiction.
The next day, Zhao Kailai drove over in an old Jeep early. Instead of wearing his Chinese tunic suit, he changed into a 65-style military uniform, but without the red collar badge and five-star cap badge.
When we arrived at Mumo Mountain, he parked his car at the foot of the mountain and walked with me to Gaotian Temple.
This outfit that was too period-flavored was so ostentatious that it really attracted a lot of people to point their fingers at her.
But Zhao Kailai didn't care.
When we arrived in front of Gaotian Temple, I originally wanted to take him in directly, but Zhao Kailai stopped me, straightened his clothes and hat, and finally stood upright at the door and said to me: "Please inform me, she If you don’t want to see me, I’ll go back.”
I said, "A person like Huang Xiangu speaks like a mountain and will never take it back. Let's go in together."
Zhao Kailai said stubbornly: "Please inform me."
I had to watch alone.
There was no one in the courtyard, but the sound of chanting sutras could be faintly heard from the Sanqing Hall.
I walked up the steps and stood at the door of the palace. I saw Huang Xuanran sitting on a futon, holding a book and chanting softly. His voice was vague, but it didn't sound like he was chanting sutras. He said, "Xiangu, Zhao Kailai is here. At the gate of the temple, you Can you see him?"
Huang Xuanran asked: "Have you read the book I gave you yesterday?"
I was confused, but I still answered truthfully, "I saw it."
Huang Xuanran asked: "How is it?"
I said, "You have to read it a few times to understand it."
Huang Xuanran nodded and said: "This is the right principle. It is a great classic that can be read frequently. Zhao Kailai is missing. Please let him enter the temple. I have something to say to him."
I thought about it and finally said, "He was wearing a 65-style military uniform. It was quite old and turned a bit white after being washed."
Huang Xuanran remained silent.
In the swirling cigarette smoke, his expression was dark and unclear. He was clearly looking at me, but what he was looking at was not me.
No matter what, I tried my best.
