Chapter 502 Meeting
At the end of the Si hour, Guanghan County Government Office.
It was already midnight, and there was no one in the county government office except for a few night duty officers.
However, just outside the door of a dark room hidden underground, Chu Xianping was pacing back and forth in the dark passage, looking at the tightly closed door from time to time with a worried expression on his face.
“.”
"Senior, are you sure this won't be noticed?"
In the dark room, Wei Changtian's expression was not as nervous as Chu Xianping's, and he even seemed a little excited.
He glanced at the copper clock in the corner, then looked at the Xuantian Sword floating in the corner of the room.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, I thought Senior was going to possess me or something."
"Possessed?"
The remnant soul's tone was somewhat irritable: "If I could possess a person, why would I have to live in this broken sword?"
"Boy, are you making fun of me?!"
"Yeah, that's right."
Wei Changtian touched his nose and said with a wry smile: "Don't mind me, Senior. I just think that a master like you should have great powers, so I can't help but feel a little disappointed at the moment."
“.”
"By the way, Senior, you have been in Xuantian Sword for so long, wouldn't it be boring?"
“.”
"What do you usually do? Sleep? But you are just a remnant soul, how can you sleep?"
“.”
"Senior, why are you silent?"
“.”
The needle of the clepsydra was getting closer and closer to midnight, and the atmosphere in the room was made much more relaxed by Wei Changtian.
He was actually joking with the remnant soul on purpose just now.
After all, this time they are trying to impersonate Kuilong's elders. If they are exposed, the end of both of them will surely be extremely miserable.
And the more times like this happen, the more you should not be too nervous, otherwise you will easily be exposed because of nervousness.
That's why Wei Changtian would deliberately tease Canhun, with the purpose of relieving himself and Canhun's uneasy mood at the moment.
Then “pop.”
The bluish-white jade pendant was gently placed on the table in front of him, and Wei Changtian's tone gradually became serious.
He glanced at the Xuantian Sword in the corner and took a deep breath.
"Senior, it's midnight."
"call!"
Butterflies in the dream, clouds and moonlit ground.
When countless spiritual lights rose up and intertwined in the air to form a magic pattern; when everything in the dark room disappeared, replaced by a misty black fog; when four blurry black shadows appeared in the black fog one after another. Wei Changtian's heartbeat seemed to pause.
Even though the remnant soul had already described this scene to him, the shock of seeing it with his own eyes still made him dazed for a moment.
It's really too fantastic.
Just using a token, can "VR chat" be realized? At this moment, although Wei Changtian knew that everything he saw was illusory, he still couldn't help turning his head and looking around.
Thick fog surged up from the illusory surroundings, in wisps and clumps, floating like a black veil.
Including himself, five black shadows stood on the five corners of a non-existent pentagon, about several feet apart from each other.
Then, five stone platforms of different colors suddenly and slowly emerged from under the feet of the five people, lifting each of them a few inches higher.
Blue, red, white, black, and yellow.
Looking at these only colors in the black fog, and then looking at the black platform under his feet, Wei Changtian thought that this Kuilong token actually utilized Taoist magical powers.
The number five is very important in Taoism.
There are not only the five colors of “blue, red, white, black and yellow”, but also the five elements of “gold, wood, water, fire and earth”, the five immortals of “heaven, gods, earth, humans and ghosts” and so on.
Of course, none of this is important.
The key point is that just as the remnant soul said, Wei Changtian actually couldn’t see the appearance of any of the black shadows.
Including body shape, clothing, height, weight, everything was blurred by the black mist and became impossible to see.
Wow! VR video conferencing, for example, even has an automatic mosaic function? No wonder these elders can't know each other's identities. Wei Changtian pouted and thought quickly in his mind, but said nothing.
Since I'm an imposter, I must speak as little as possible to avoid saying something wrong and being noticed.
The others seemed to be waiting for something, until the shadow standing in the "green" position slowly began to recite: "Silence and stillness are the same, how can one talk about dreams in dreams?"
???
What does this mean? What are you doing here?
Since no one else could see his expression, Wei Changtian did not hide it at all, and his face was full of confusion for a moment.
However, before he could think about it carefully, he heard two black figures standing on the red and white platforms say one after another:
"It is like floating in the air, isolated from the world, and ascending to heaven."
"The ups and downs of a century, all passed by like a dream."
“.”
Obviously, this is not a "Poetry Conference", so this group of people can only be doing one thing -
That's the code.
Damn, are you so cautious? The remnant soul didn't tell me in advance!
More importantly, it seemed like it was his turn now. Was he going to be exposed before he even started? Wei Changtian cursed the remnant soul for being unreliable, and then he heard a voice that seemed to come from outside the black fog.
"A solitary crane is singing on a Huabiao stele for a thousand years, while a cicada is chirping in the evening in a dream on earth."
"Um?"
Subconsciously raising his head, Wei Changtian recognized that it was the voice of the remnant soul.
So the latter could actually observe what was happening in the black fog? And could he even send a message to himself? Looking at the other four shadows who seemed not to have heard this and were just waiting for his signal, Wei Changtian no longer hesitated and immediately repeated:
"A solitary crane is singing on a Huabiao stele for a thousand years, while a cicada is chirping in the evening in a dream on earth."
“.”
"First, you can understand all worldly affairs, and then you can transcend the world with words."
Soon, the black shadow standing on the yellow platform continued with the last code, which also proved that the remnant soul's reminder was correct.
It’s okay, I didn’t let myself down.
He heaved a sigh of relief, but Wei Changtian still said nothing.
The black fog rolled, and finally the black shadow on the green stone platform broke the silence.
"My fellow elders, this discussion was proposed by the leader of Division C-3, Zhuang Zhiming."
"Now let me tell you the general situation first."
“.”
The affairs of the elders' meeting must be proposed by a Kuilong member at the helmsman level, and Canhun had mentioned this in advance.
However, what Wei Changtian cares more about now are the two pieces of information about Division C and Zhuang Zhiming.
The Elders' Council proposed by Division C3 was obviously about Qin Zhengqiu.
As for Zhuang Zhiming, I seem to have heard this name somewhere.
Wei Changtian frowned and thought for a while, but couldn't remember it immediately, so he gave up for the time being and turned his attention to the "Elder Qing" who was speaking.
“.”
".This is roughly what happened."
"Zhuang Zhiming has already found out the identity of this person. His name is Qin Zhengqiu, and he was previously the head of the Tianluo Sect."
"He reached the late second-grade realm several years ago, and has remained unchanged since then."
"But just a few months ago, he suddenly went to Fengyuan, the capital of Dafeng, and performed a rather strange sword technique there."
"He disappeared after that, until he reappeared in Daning Shuzhou eleven days ago."
