Chapter 138 Chapter 138 Taolin Village
What's the meaning?
Before Ji's parents could wrap their heads around the idea, He Junxia immediately snapped back to her senses and replied, "I do."
Although He Junxia answered without thinking, it was actually the result of careful consideration - according to what Ji's father had said before scolding him, it can be known that Master Ning and Master Xie were the people sent by the government to rescue them.
Regardless of whether they are special public officials or Taoist priests cooperating with the government, one thing is certain: they are not bad people in the secular sense.
The fact that they were chosen by the government to carry out the rescue mission also shows that they are quite capable.
He Junxia had originally planned to find a Taoist priest or monk with real skills to learn from after this matter was over.
Now that a master whose character and ability have been approved by the government has taken the initiative to extend an olive branch, it saves him a lot of trouble. How can he not be happy?
Ning Shiran smiled when he received a positive answer.
She explained to Ji's parents, "Student Ji has a golden body of meritorious deeds that protect him. Perhaps he's the reincarnation of a good person from past lives. Ordinary evil spirits can't harm him."
The expressions of Ji's father and mother changed again and again, from surprise to confusion and finally to joy, perfectly reflecting their mental journey.
However, as old doubts were resolved, new doubts arose.
"Master Ning, do you in the Guiyi Sect allow Taoist priests to marry and have children?" Ji's mother said embarrassedly, "You know, he's our only child."
After this experience, they no longer expect their children to succeed, but only hope that they can live a safe and ordinary life.
Ning Shiran smiled and said, "Don't worry, Aunt Ji. Our Guiyi Temple belongs to the Zhengyi Sect. Disciples within the temple are free to marry and have children."
Ji's mother was puzzled. "But I have a distant relative whose wife's brother is a Taoist priest. He can't get married, can't eat meat, and has to live in a Taoist temple. He's no different from a monk."
"He wouldn't be deceived, would he?"
Ning Shiran sneered, "Taoists are mainly divided into the Quanzhen Sect and the Zhengyi Sect. Your relative must have become a monk in a Quanzhen Taoist temple, which is why there are such strict rules."
Ji's mother suddenly realized.
Ning Shiran continued, "We in the Zhengyi sect do not force our disciples to practice in the monastery, nor do we forbid the eating of meat. However, there are four things we do not eat: beef, dog, mullet, and wild goose."
That's okay.
Their children are allergic to beef, and dogs, mullets and geese have never appeared on their table.
Ji's father and mother exchanged a glance, and Ji's father said to He Junxia in a serious tone, "Learning more skills opens up new avenues. We don't object if you want to learn, but if you want to learn, you must study hard and not be like before, fishing for three days and drying the net for two days."
He Junxia touched his nose and said, "I will study hard."
Ning Siyuan was a little moved when he saw this scene, but then he changed his mind and realized that the ghost energy had caused him enough trouble, so he should not get involved in such things.
As long as he doesn't go to those sparsely populated mountains or run to places where there are rumors of ghosts, he won't be able to easily encounter evil spirits.
Otherwise, he could ask his good brother Ji Zhou for help.
Ning Siyuan convinced himself in his heart, but he didn't expect that there would be more terrible things waiting for him in the future.
…
The group returned to the foot of the mountain
Seeing their child return safely, Ning's parents finally felt at ease.
Glancing at the young man next to Ning Siyuan, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it was a happy ending, otherwise they really didn't know what to do.
The policeman who had escorted the two masters stepped forward and asked with a smile, "Master Ning, Master Xie, has the matter on the mountain been resolved?"
Ning Shiran nodded. "The mastermind was a hundred-year-old peach demon that had transformed into a ghost. I have already killed it. The remaining little ghosts that caused trouble were trapped in my magic weapon. I will bring them back to the Taoist temple, convert them, and send them to the afterlife."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, but at the same time, they couldn't help but get goosebumps and were shocked.
It turns out that there really are ghosts in the world!
"Ding-ling-ling..."
A cell phone suddenly rang, and everyone present lowered their heads and rummaged through their bags to look for their phones.
"It's not mine."
"It's not mine either."
"Hey, it seems to be my phone."
Ning Siyuan took out his ringing phone from his coat pocket and was stunned for a moment when he saw the caller ID on the phone: "It's Song Chengli calling."
If Ning Siyuan had received his call at any other time, he would have answered it immediately and said, "Son, what do you want from your dad?" But when he recalled the car that had disappeared in his memory, he hesitated and didn't know whether to answer it.
The phone rang again and again. He Juanxia asked, "If it's a spam call, just hang up."
Ning Siyuan shook his head: "It's Song Chengli's call, do you want to answer it?"
The expressions of Ji's father and mother turned cold, and the expressions of Ning's father and mother also became a little subtle.
He Junxia was keenly aware that something was wrong with their mood. During the time he was trapped in Taolin Village, it seemed that something bad had happened between them and Song Chengli.
He Junxia: "You answer it first and see what happened."
He probably guessed the reason for the call - Song Chengli also ate some food from Taolin Village.
Ning Siyuan was almost suffocated by the ghost energy he swallowed, and it seemed that Song Chengli's situation was not much better.
"Hey, Song Chengli, what do you want to talk to me about?"
"Ning, Chengli has been coughing and vomiting. We took him to the hospital but they couldn't find anything wrong with him. Do you have any idea how to save him?"
The voice on the other end of the phone was clearly crying, and sounded completely different from the arrogant woman before.
Ning Siyuan deliberately turned up the volume of the call and turned on the speakerphone, so everyone present could hear Song Chengli's mother's helpless plea.
I think it was after Song Chengli was rushed to the hospital and scientific methods were found to be ineffective that he suddenly remembered that it was related to this matter.
Ning Siyuan turned to look at Ning Shiran and Xie Qi. At present, they were the only two who could save Song Chengli.
Ning Shiran asked, "Which hospital are they in?"
Ning Siyuan had a drop of cold sweat on his forehead. After asking, he immediately replied, "On the third floor of the emergency center of the Municipal People's Hospital."
Although he was ashamed of Song Chengli's ungrateful and deserting behavior, the other party had been his roommate for several years after all, and he did not want Song Chengli's life to be in danger.
Ning Shiran took out a gold-stamped business card and handed it to He Junxia: "My phone number is on it. You go back first. Once I've dealt with this matter, I'll go to your school to find the problematic student."
Ning Shiran turned to look at Xie Qi. The young man took a big step back and put his arm around He Junxia's shoulders. "Don't look at me. I'm not going. That guy stinks. I want to bond with my new junior brother."
He Junxia was startled when someone suddenly put his arm around her shoulders.
The young boy was moving too fast. With his current reaction speed and alertness, he couldn't see his movements clearly. He could only see an extremely blurry shadow flash by.
Who is he?
Ning Shiran snorted coldly: "You can stay, but if I find out that you are deliberately stirring up trouble again, don't blame me for not considering our friendship."
"I understand, Senior Sister."
The deliberately prolonged voice sounded sarcastic, and the young boy's playful expression made people want to touch it even more.
Fortunately, it’s not my own child.
There is no harm without comparison. At this moment, both Ji's father and Ning's mother couldn't help but feel fortunate that their children were a little naughty, but at least they would listen to their parents.
Master Xie is lucky to have the title of a master and have some mysterious skills, otherwise, with his "clever mouth", he would have been beaten on the head countless times.
After warning his junior apprentice, Ning Shiran left first and rushed to the hospital to save people. The remaining two families and Xie Qi went back to the police station to take statements.
It was already 4:30 in the afternoon when they finished taking the statement. Out of courtesy and gratitude, Ji's father and mother found a nicely decorated restaurant to invite Ning Siyuan's family and Xie Qi to dinner.
Xie Qi was not polite at all and ordered all the main dishes on the menu. There were three types of chicken alone: boiled chicken, pig stomach chicken, and mouth-watering chicken.
The waiter standing by was stunned and couldn't help but remind him: "Guest, our dishes are quite large. Generally speaking, 12 dishes are enough for seven people."
Xie Qi remained indifferent.
Father Ji came out to smooth things over and said, "It's okay. We're just here to try the food. We'll pack up the leftovers and take them away."
The waiter smiled in a standard way: "Okay, excuse me."
Anyway, she has fulfilled her obligation to remind them, so even if these people make trouble later, it won't be her fault.
The waiter left with the menu. While waiting for the food to be served, Xie Qi turned around and looked at He Juanxia: "Do you know why your other good roommate is not here?"
He Junxia said sincerely, "Please help me, Senior Brother."
He had long seen that this guy was a fun-loving person, and a powerful one at that. If he wanted to avoid being harassed by such a person, the best way was to make him lose interest in him.
Xie Qi narrowed his eyes. "He was afraid that the evil spirits in the village would target him again, so he decided not to care about your life or death anymore."
No wonder the expressions of the four parents before were so subtle.
He Junxia suddenly realized what was going on, but he didn't feel bad at all. After all, he wasn't the real Ji Zhou, and Song Chengli was no different from a stranger to him.
There is no need to take the betrayal of strangers to heart. At most, you will feel a little regretful and as if it were expected.
However, He Junxia still put on a classic expression of disappointment and anger: "I really misjudged him."
Xie Qi asked again: "If he is in danger next time, will you still choose to save him?"
He Junxia shook his head: "Repaying evil with kindness, how can you repay kindness?"
This is what he really thinks.
Xie Qi felt relieved.
He poured himself a glass of coconut milk and drank it slowly, with visible joy on his face.
The corners of the mouths of several people present twitched slightly.
Who on earth raised this weirdo?
But they only dared to mutter it in their hearts and absolutely could not say it out loud.
It's obvious that Master Xie has a very narrow mind. It's better not to offend him if you can, otherwise you might get cursed.
Just as the waiter opened the door to the private room to serve the food, Ji's parents and Ning's parents hurriedly started talking to liven up the atmosphere. He Junxia carefully inquired about what happened after Ning Siyuan came down the mountain, only to find out that he had spent 5,000 yuan on a promotion in order to make a big deal out of it.
Ning Siyuan's family background is the worst among the three. He often goes out to work part-time to earn living expenses to supplement his family income. Five thousand yuan is not a small amount for him.
He Junxia opened WeChat and transferred 2,500 to him.
Ning Siyuan looked up in surprise when he saw the message. He Junxia blinked at him and said, "We'll each have half."
The Ning Siyuan in the wisher's memory was loyal, honest, and had his own code of conduct. If he had simply transferred 5,000 yuan, Ning Siyuan would definitely not accept it. A split of half would have been more acceptable to him.
Ning Siyuan felt warm in his heart.
[Day Day Up: Thanks, brother.]
He took the money and said nothing more, but he kept this kindness deeply in his heart.
The waiter appeared with plate after plate of delicious dishes. Because they ordered so much, the entire large round table could not accommodate them all.
The leading waiter kindly said, "Sir, how about you guys eat first while I ask the kitchen to cook more slowly?"
Xie Qi stretched and said lazily, "No need, just serve the dishes as soon as possible." He spoke with such ease as if he was the one treating the guests.
The waiter continued, "You guys ordered too many dishes. The table can't hold them all. Would it be okay for us to put the remaining dishes on the cart?"
Xie Qi nodded slightly.
Seeing this, the waiter tactfully left. He Junxia opened the rice bucket in front of him to serve rice to others, while Ning Siyuan was responsible for pouring drinks.
Thanks to the efforts of Ji's parents and Ning's parents, the meal was a great success for both the host and the guests, and Xie Qi did not utter any more sensational words.
The most surprising thing is that Master Xie has an amazing appetite.
I thought he was deliberately trying to make things difficult by ordering so many dishes, but at the end, the six people dining with him watched in amazement as he devoured everything.
He actually finished all the dishes he ordered, which could even be considered a standard clean plate action.
Father Ji asked tentatively: "Master Xie, are you full? If not, we can open another table."
Xie Qi wiped the corner of his mouth reservedly: "I'm full."
It must be said that he had a very handsome appearance. His lips were red, his teeth were white, his eyebrows were narrow and his eyes were long. The most attractive thing about him was his pair of seductive fox eyes, which brought a kind of bewitching elegance to his appearance.
It's quite pleasant to watch when he speaks normally, but it's a pity that he is a funny person who can't spit out ivory from a dog's mouth and can't stand the truth, goodness and beauty among human beings.
He Junxia subconsciously analyzed the reason for this situation based on the psychology knowledge he had learned - in addition to the pure genetic problem, this Master Xie Qixie was likely to have been betrayed by someone close to him, and more than once.
Of course, this matter has nothing to do with him.
Xie Qi was just annoying with his words, and he hadn't done anything seriously wrong. He Junxia had no interest in prying into other people's privacy.
He withdrew his subconscious analysis and saw Xie Qi take out a brush from his pocket and hand it to him.
"Little Junior Brother, take it, this is a meeting gift."
He Junxia immediately stretched out his hands to take the brush and said with a smile, "Thank you, Senior Brother."
He went back to the hotel front desk and asked for a rectangular take-away box, and carefully put away the brush that Xie Qi had given him.
Although he didn't know much about brushes and didn't know the quality of this brush, he could tell from the white jade body that this brush was of great value.
Xie Qi was very satisfied with He Junxia's careful attention. He raised his eyebrows and said nonchalantly, "See you later."
He swaggered out of the restaurant and disappeared in the blink of an eye, without a trace, leaving the rest of the people stunned again.
Ning Siyuan envied: "That's so cool."
Although I don't quite agree with Master Xie's way of dealing with people, his ability to do whatever he wants is what countless people dream of.
He Junxia stepped forward and patted his shoulder: "Don't be envious. When we return to school tonight, we still have a tough battle to fight."
Ning Siyuan's face fell instantly.
…
"Your actions have had a significant impact on the school and society, and have also caused serious psychological harm to your family..."
The next morning after returning to school, He Junxia and Ning Siyuan were called to the office by the counselor, class teacher and college secretary and criticized.
During this period, countless student union members came in and out of the office. They became completely famous in the college and lost the right to choose their spouse before graduation.
Ning Siyuan wrinkled his face into a bitter melon.
He had been having an affair with the monitor of the third accounting class next door for over half a month, and planned to confess his love to her once he finished his part-time tutoring job, but now it was all over.
The other party thought he was too embarrassing.
...QW Q...
He Junxia couldn't help but gloat over the misfortune. After all, he also felt that the wisher and his two roommates' sudden decision to go hiking was very brainless and stupid.
I think Ning Siyuan will never forget this terrible lesson until he lies in his coffin.
"You're still laughing, you're still laughing, stop laughing."
Seeing Ji Zhou's ever-increasing mouth corners, Ning Siyuan collapsed in anger and shame: "Are you still a brother? I'm heartbroken, please comfort me."
He Junxia cleared her throat, smiled, and said in a very festive tone: "Congratulations to Ning Siyuan, who lives in bed number two, dormitory 606, Building 3, Biyuan, for having his third heartbreak. Let's applaud and welcome him."
Ning Siyuan instantly exploded: "Ji Xiaozhou, are you looking for death?"
He Junxia continued to act like a qualified repeater: "Congratulations to Biyuan Building 3..."
Ning Siyuan was furious and reached out to "twist" He Junxia's head off, but stopped the next second and the smile on his face disappeared.
He Junxia followed his gaze and saw a familiar, pale face full of guilt.
Ning Siyuan smiled awkwardly: "Um, Song Chengli, were you okay yesterday?"
Song Chengli said in a hoarse voice: "I'm fine."
He looked at He Junxia, moved his lips, but no sound came out, and finally ran away.
He Junxia didn't pay attention to this little episode, but Ning Siyuan became very uncomfortable. After the two of them walked for a while, he whispered, "Ji Zhou, do you hate him?"
"No hate."
The emotion represented by the word "hate" is too strong.
Ning Siyuan breathed a sigh of relief: "We both have disciplinary actions. Even if you feel uncomfortable, don't fight with him. Let's talk about everything after we get our diplomas."
Ning Siyuan was completely on Ji Zhou's side. Ever since Song Chengli left without hesitation with his parents, he had excluded Song Chengli from his circle of friends.
He Junxia put his hands in his pockets: "I understand."
*
At three o'clock in the afternoon, He Junxia rushed to the school gate immediately after receiving a call from Ning Shiran.
Xie Qi followed Ning Shiran reluctantly. She didn't look happy when she saw him appear. She acted as if everyone she met owed her millions.
Ning Shiran was accompanied by a middle-aged man, who was the policeman who had taken them to the national highway yesterday. However, this time he was not wearing a police uniform.
Ning Shiran said, "Let's go meet the senior you mentioned. The higher-ups have already taken him under control."
He Junxia nodded: "Yeah"
He knew that Ning Shiran meant for him to observe the operation carefully and perhaps even write a report after it was over.
He Junxia got in the car and watched the driver follow the navigation to turn left and right, and finally brought them to an old building whose name was not shown on the navigation.
After the car stopped, He Junxia was the first to get out and opened both doors. Xie Qi gave him a look that said, "You're such a sensible boy."
He Junxia was not angry at all.
Although Xie Qi has a bad temper and a bad mouth, he is very generous. The brush he gave himself yesterday was a good thing certified by Ning Shiran himself.
A man who eats someone's food is soft-hearted, and a man who takes someone's money is grateful.
He had taken such a big advantage of the other party, so opening the car door was no big deal.
He Junxia followed Ning Shiran and Xie Qi into the old building, and suddenly a cool breeze blew in their faces.
It was not the cool breeze from the air conditioner, but rather a bit like the gloomy wind he felt in Taolin Village, with a chilly atmosphere.
"Hey, Master Ning, Master Xie, you're finally here."
I heard his voice before I saw him.
He Junxia looked up and saw a woman wearing a classic black suit jacket, a white shirt and loose suit pants walking down the stairs quickly.
Ning Shiran took the initiative to introduce He Junxia, "This is Section Chief Wen from the Abnormal Affairs Bureau. She's primarily responsible for the affairs of our Guiyi Temple. You can call her Aunt Wen."
He Junxia immediately said, "Aunt Wen, hello, I'm Ji Zhou."
"This is the little apprentice you are going to take in for your master. He looks very talented and has a bright future."
Aunt Wen walked forward with a smile and said, "Hello, Mr. Ji. Are you interested in working at our Special Affairs Bureau after graduation? We offer five social insurances and three housing funds, free food and housing, a provident fund of 5,000, and a free apartment in the city center worth 5 million after three years of employment."
He Junxia: ...
Even though he had experienced a lot, it was the first time he had seen someone so straightforward, almost writing "We need someone here" on their face.
But are such good benefits real?
He Junxia scratched his head, baring his teeth and looking at Ning Shiran with a silly smile: "Aunt Wen, I will follow the arrangements of Senior Sister."
High risk leads to high investment and high returns. To be able to offer such generous conditions, the dangers faced by the employees of the Abnormal Affairs Bureau are definitely no less than those faced by Taolin Village.
He was so stupid that he agreed to it directly.
And even if there is such a plan in the future, we have to wait until he returns from his studies.
Even though she was politely rejected, Aunt Wen still smiled warmly and handed a business card to He Junxia: "Student Ji, if you are interested in the future, please come and see me."
She turned and looked at Ning Shiran again: "Master Ning, you must promote our Abnormal Affairs Bureau to classmate Ji."
Ning Shiran was helpless: "Okay, okay, I'll listen to you and will definitely promote it more."
Aunt Wen was finally satisfied and said, "Come with me. That kid is locked up in there. He made a fuss all day yesterday and really annoyed me."
He Junxia walked behind Xie Qi and followed them up to the third floor and came to a door at the corner.
Aunt Wen took out the key to open the door. The door made of fine iron slowly opened, and the dazzling incandescent light slanted out. He Junxia then discovered that there was a different world inside.
This room is incredibly large, apparently several hundred square meters, and is divided into countless small compartments.
Senior Liu Gaoge was locked in a small compartment closest to the gate, with his limbs bound by heavy chains.
Hearing the noise at the door, Liu Gaoge raised his bloodshot eyes and glared at the intruder: "Let me out, you are kidnapping me!"
Ning Shiran frowned.
