Su Ran raised her head and looked at the dark building in front of her in the night. She had never been out of an orphanage when she was a child, and she always felt that this building was the most magnificent building she had ever seen.
We reunited in the same place many years later, and now we find that this dormitory building is only ten stories high, and the design of the orphanage may have some reasons to gain profits from it. The normal building with each floor more than three meters high has been compressed by the orphanage. Each floor is two meters high, saving nearly half the cost.
However, the orphanage only accepts orphans, and there are not many adults living there. The height of two meters is naturally more than enough, and there may be many people collecting benefits, so this incident did not cause any commotion.
Su Ran's eyes turned to a certain balcony on the fourth floor, feeling a little dazed for a moment.
There were many nights when her roommate in the same dormitory fell asleep, she secretly sat on the balcony alone and looked at the city outside the orphanage, the moon and stars in the sky, and the empty orphanage late at night.
Only this time that belonged to herself alone could give her a little breather and some hope of continuing to live.
It was on this balcony that Su Ran discovered the perverted dean with pedophilia, which indirectly changed his future life.
"Yan Yan also lives in this dormitory building now. Coincidentally, it happens to be the same room you lived in back then." Fang Zhi said softly.
Su Ran was a little surprised that it was such a coincidence?
But without thinking too much, he followed Fang Zhi and walked upstairs.
The layout of the dormitory building is still the same as it was twelve years ago, including the facilities inside, which have not been replaced for more than ten years.
Some corners of the wooden floor on the ground have become warped, leaking the cement underneath, and the white walls on the wall have also begun to slowly fall off, leaking the concrete behind.
In addition, the tables, chairs, benches and other furniture in this building were all bought by the orphanage when he was still there. Now these tables and chairs are missing arms and legs. Su Ran touched them casually. The sound coming from the table made Su Ran quickly retract her hand, fearing that the table would collapse soon.
The floor was not high, so it was easy to climb up. The two of them quickly climbed to Xu Yan's room on the fourth floor.
Su Ran glanced at the room number, which was 421, which was familiar.
Fang Zhi knocked on the door of the room lightly, and a nervous voice immediately came from inside, "Who is it?"
"It's me." Fang Zhi replied.
The door to the room was opened, and a girl about the same age as Xu Yan stuck her head out from the crack in the door. After seeing Su Ran and Fang Zhi standing outside, she breathed a sigh of relief and opened the door to let them in.
After Fang Zhi entered the room, he glanced around, frowned and said, "Where is Yan Yan?"
Su Ran was stunned and then noticed that there were only three girls in the room, but none of them were Xu Yan.
"Yan Yan was taken away by Sect Master Chen to teach." The girl who opened the door said nervously: "Sect Master Chen said that Yan Yan didn't understand God's teachings deeply enough, and he would give Yan Yan another teaching tonight."
Fang Zhi and Su Ran looked at each other: "Damn it, she must have noticed that Yan Yan hasn't changed in the past two days."
"He observed so carefully? There are so many children in the courtyard." Su Ran was a little surprised.
"Zongzhu Chen said that Yan Yan is a particularly talented child. The God of Divination has mentioned to him many times that he likes Yan Yan very much and wants Yan Yan to go to the God Realm to serve him as soon as possible." Fang Zhi was a little anxious, "If it is normal, Judging from the situation, there must be Yan Yan among the children who died last night, but today he found that Yan Yan was fine at all, so he must have discovered a problem. "
"Don't worry. Is there any way you can get me to join the Tianyu Sect?" Su Ran asked.
“The followers of Tianyu Sect were originally their own people, and they rarely had new followers.
If you want to join the Tianyun Sect, you need to be introduced by a senior believer, and you also need to make a significant contribution to the religion to be qualified to join the religion. "Fang Zhi replied.
"Aren't you considered a senior believer?"
Fang Zhi shook his head, "We belong to the orphanage. Although Tianyun Sect invested in us, we were not allowed to join the sect."
Su Ran frowned: "That seems to be a bit troublesome."
Fang Zhi took a deep breath, as if he had made some important decision, and said in a deep voice, "I know a senior believer who can be your introducer."
After Fang Zhi told the remaining three children not to open the door casually, he took Su Ran to the corridor outside, took out his mobile phone and dialed a number. The call was connected after a while.
"Hey, Elder Li, I'm Fang Zhi. Are you free now? If it's convenient, I need your help with something. Can I meet you?"
After the man opposite said something, Fang Zhi hung up the phone, "Okay, we've found someone, let's go out."
"You also know the elders of Tianyu Sect." Su Ran said a little surprised.
"It can't be considered acquaintance, there are some... other reasons." Fang Zhi said with a strange expression: "You will know when we meet in a while."
Looking at Fang Zhi's expression, Su Ran had some rough guesses in her mind.
The two of them had been waiting downstairs for less than ten minutes when a fat figure appeared not far away. After a while, a bald, short and plump middle-aged man ran up to the two of them, panting. He smiled naively at Fang Zhi.
"Teacher Xiaofang, I haven't seen you for a long time. This is the first time you have taken the initiative to ask me out."
After the man's somewhat dishonest eyes wandered around Fang Zhi, he glanced at Su Ran who was standing aside. Just this glance made the man unable to look away again, as if he had grown up with Su Ran. Same on body.
Su Ran only felt a chill in her heart, but for the sake of the important matter between the two of them, she still held it back and gave the man a polite smile.
Just this casual smile made the man's eyes widen again, and an expression of obsession appeared on his face.
Fang Zhi coughed slightly and diverted the man's attention, "Elder Li, let me introduce to you. This is my good sister Su Ran."
Then he pointed at the man and said: "Of course, this is Elder Li Chenli, one of the six highly respected elders of Tianyu Sect, and the brother-in-law of the current sect leader."
"Hello, Elder Li." Su Ran greeted with a smile.
"Hello, Miss Su." Li Chen put on an air of immortality and sighed with his hands behind his back: "As expected, the friends of beauties are also beauties, and the girls who can play with Teacher Xiao Fang are also extremely beautiful."
"Elder Li is really good at talking." Su Ran covered her mouth and smiled.
She has seen many such men, so she naturally knows how to get them.
As expected, after seeing Su Ran's reaction, Li Chen couldn't help but take a step forward and said with bright eyes: "We in the Tianyu Sect always tell the truth and never lie."
Fang Zhi saw that Li Chen had taken the bait, so he quickly asked softly: "Elder Li, I brought my little sister here to ask you to do us a favor."
Li Chen, who had been stunned by the two beauties for a long time, now nodded repeatedly and said: "Whatever it is, tell me, I will definitely do it for you."
"My sister has long heard that our Tianyu Sect is blessed by gods. She has also heard of the name of the God of Divination. She wants to see if there is a chance to have close contact with God.
Our Tianyu Sect needs an introducer when joining the sect. Neither of us has any background or connections. Where do we know an introducer? After much deliberation, I can only find you.
After all, given your status in Tianyu Sect and your relationship with Sect Leader Chen, isn't it just a casual matter for you to arrange for someone to join the sect? "
After Fang Zhi finished speaking, he watched Li Chen's reaction carefully. Although Li Chen was addicted to women, he was actually not stupid.
Sure enough, after listening to Fang Zhi's request, Li Chen's expression changed, and he said solemnly: "Well, the threshold for entering the sect is not low now, and it doesn't mean that you can get in with an introduction.
Although I am the sect leader's brother-in-law, all matters within the sect must ultimately be decided by the sect leader, and I only have the power to make suggestions.
If Miss Su believed in the god of divination, I could beg for a Buddha statue of the god for Miss Su. Miss Su would also burn incense and kneel down every day, so why not just join the sect? "
Su Ran and Fang Zhi looked at each other and said deliberately suspiciously: "Elder Li, your status in the sect is not good, is it? You are just an elder in a false name, and you can't actually help me."
When Li Chen saw that Su Ran was a little unhappy, he quickly said: "Why would Miss Su think so? Teacher Xiao Fang also said just now that Sect Master Chen is my brother-in-law, and he still has to give me some respect for what I say.
But if you want to join the sect, there is a mandatory requirement to make a significant contribution to the sect. No matter who you are, you must follow this rule. Miss Su, you see..."
"I wonder what these major contributions include?"
"It's easy to say, generally speaking, they have contributed a lot to the development of the sect, such as sacrificing their own interests for the sect, or providing some assistance to the sect during its development, including financial assistance. Or material assistance or something like that.”
Su Ran nodded and felt confident, "Then I probably understand. Please help Elder Li introduce me to Sect Leader Chen."
Li Chen was stunned and said, "Ms. Su, are you a little anxious? It's already past nine o'clock today, so tomorrow is actually fine."
Su Ran shook her head, "I don't know why, but I always feel a little uneasy recently. I don't know if it's because I have done some things that I can't bear with my conscience. I can't wait any longer. The sooner I receive God's teachings, the more at ease I will be.
Even if I can't join the religion tonight, at least let me meet the sect master first so that I can understand him and feel at ease. "
After Li Chen stood there and thought for about ten minutes, he gritted his teeth and nodded with difficulty, "That's okay. Miss Su, come with me. I will take you to see the sect master."
"Then thank you very much, Elder Li." Su Ran smiled sweetly.
"It's a small matter, as long as Miss Su can remember my kindness after joining the church." Li Chen looked at Su Ran and her salivating expression returned to before.
Su Ran pretended not to see it and said seriously: "That's natural. Elder Li will need you to take care of me as a newcomer in the future."
Li Chen nodded with a smile, made an invitation gesture to Su Ran, and took the lead to walk forward. Su Ran and Fang Zhi looked at each other and quickly followed Li Chen's footsteps.
Passing through the dormitory building, we came to the back wall of the orphanage. Su Ran remembered that it was just a thick wall before, but now there is a large iron door in the middle of the wall. The iron door is equipped with a combination lock and a fingerprint lock. , should lead to the school built by Tianyu Sect at the back.
Li Chen walked to the iron gate, turned his back to Su Ran and Fang Zhi, entered a series of passwords, and then pressed his fingerprint, and the iron gate opened in response.
"Please, Miss Su, this is our Tianyu Sect's current headquarters in Jiangning." Li Chen introduced: "The school of this orphanage and the office of our Tianyu Sect are both here. The outside is just a It’s just an empty shell.”
"Since you all have your own power, why do you invest in an orphanage to hide from others?" Su Ran asked curiously.
Li Chen was stunned and hesitantly said: "This question can be asked by Miss Su herself after she joins the sect. There are some things that it is not convenient for me to disclose in advance."
Su Ran nodded, "I understand."
After passing through the iron gate and bypassing one or two buildings, the three of them arrived at the tallest building in this building. In this dark building, there was only one window at the top of the building. There are still some dim lights on.
Li Chen pointed at the light and said mysteriously: "Miss Su, look, that is the office of our sect master. Although it is very late now, the sect master is still teaching the children. For the future of these children, He really put a lot of thought into it.”
Su Ran rolled his eyes in his heart, but still said with a smile: "Sect Master Chen has worked really hard. Having Sect Master Chen here is also a blessing for these children."
Li Chen smiled and nodded, taking Su Ran and Fang Zhi to the fifteenth floor of this building.
There is only one office on the fifteenth floor, and the sign hanging above it has three large characters written in block letters.
The master's room.
Li Chen listened quietly at the door for a while, then put his index finger to his mouth and softly "shushed" the two of them. After adjusting his hair and clothes, and confirming that there were no problems, he carefully knocked on the door of the sect leader's office. door.
"Who?" A strong male voice came from inside, and his tone seemed a little unhappy.
Li Chen was shocked, but he still said bravely: "Sect Master, it's me, Li Chen."
"It's so late, what are you doing here?" the man asked doubtfully.
"Sect Master, I have a friend who wants to join our religion. He just came to see me in the middle of the night and said he wanted to meet you and see if I can give you a chance to join the religion..."
Before Li Chen finished speaking, the man in the room sneered: "Friends? What friends? Those little girls you met outside? I deceived you into bringing them to me with just a few words. Why, we Is Tianyu Sect a tool for you, Elder Li Chen, to have fun outside?"
The sect leader's words were very straightforward. Li Chen was a little embarrassed for a moment and didn't know how to continue.
Seeing this, Su Ran quickly picked up the conversation and said: "Hello, Sect Leader, my name is Su Ran. Elder Li and I are not what you think. I just want Elder Li to recommend me to see if anyone can join us. Religious Opportunities.
Of course, I also heard from Elder Li that joining a religion requires a significant contribution to the religion. I am still young and have nothing to sacrifice for the benefit of the religion, but I can first donate 50 million to the development of the religion. You see Can I go in and talk to you face to face? "
After Su Ran said these words, not only the voices in the room fell silent, but also Li Chen and Fang Zhi beside them opened their eyes wide and looked at Su Ran in surprise.
It was the first time Li Chen met, and he didn't understand Su Ran's family or situation at all, so he wasn't surprised for too long. He just thought that Su Ran was a rich second generation. Generally, rich second generations would feel that they are tired of having normal fun. , I want to believe in a teacher or something and have fun. He has seen many such situations.
In comparison, Fang Zhi was a little shocked.
She probably also knew that the man who adopted Su Ran back then had a lot of background, otherwise he wouldn't have killed the dean in the hospital and adopted Su Ran so brazenly.
But she thought that even if the man adopted Su Ran, Su Ran would live a better life than in the hospital at most and could go to school like other ordinary children. But she didn't expect that Su Ran was only ten years old now. Nine years old, fifty million is as casual as five yuan, and it's not for my own business.
Could it be that Su Ran was too excited and impulsive?
When Fang Zhi was thinking about whether to persuade her not to be impulsive, the voice of the sect leader came from the room again.
"You come in alone."
Su Ran breathed a sigh of relief, and just as she was about to walk in, Fang Zhi suddenly grabbed her, with some worry in his eyes.
Su Ran patted Fang Zhi's hand to reassure her, then opened the door to the sect master's room and walked in.
After closing the door, Su Ran looked at the entire room. There was a huge portrait hanging in the middle. The man in the portrait was wearing a purple fairy robe and had a handsome appearance. It was exactly what he saw in the book. The appearance of the god of divination.
There is an incense burner on the altar table below the portrait, and three incense sticks are burning slowly in the incense burner. The smoke from these three incense sticks seems to be particularly strong, and the whole room is filled with smoke.
"Do you want to join our Tianyu Sect?"
The voice looked to his left. A middle-aged man was sitting on a Taishi chair on the side, holding a volume of books in his hand and looking at him.
The man should be Chen Tianming, the so-called leader of the Tianyu Sect. Compared with his brother-in-law outside the door, Chen Tianming looks much younger. At least his hair is still there, and he looks much more energetic. He is not as good as Li Chen. That greasy feeling.
Kneeling in front of Chen Tianming were four children of similar age, two boys and two girls, looking down at a blank piece of paper spread out on the ground. Su Ran recognized the girl on the far right at a glance as Xu Yan.
However, she only glanced at it and quickly turned her attention back to Chen Tianming, for fear that Chen Tianming would notice the purpose of her entry.
