The air suddenly fell silent for several seconds.
Yan Jiu apologized sincerely: "I'm sorry, the atmosphere was right, I couldn't help it, please continue."
Ma Weiwei was embarrassed by Yan Jiu's吐槽 (tu cao, a Chinese internet slang term for sarcastic or critical comments), but still explained carefully: "The nine magical artifacts symbolize longevity. Legend has it that if you collect them all, you can turn the tide of fate. The Three Pure Bells belong to the Director's family and were placed in the Director's office. Later, they were taken away by Qingmian, who claimed to be the true owner of the Three Pure Bells."
She spoke with a look of shame on her face.
The Sanqing Bell was a magical artifact passed down through generations of the Lang family, but in order to silence public opinion, it was handed over to the government, which prevented Lang Zongyi's acute illness from being relieved in time.
Ma Weiwei didn't know why Lang Zongyi needed the Sanqing Bell, but she knew that Lang Zongyi had brought it out so that the Special Bureau could gain a foothold.
As far as she knows.
The nine magical implements include the Three Pure Ones Bell.
These include a compass, a soul-summoning banner, a peach wood sword, tarot cards, a crystal ball, a spirit-communicating umbrella, a clear-eyed fan, and a blue lantern.
Ritual implements are called ritual implements.
It's not because of which country it's from or what its name is, but because the object possesses immense spiritual energy.
In ancient times, spiritual energy was abundant, and people could even ascend to immortality through cultivation.
However.
The spiritual energy is dwindling.
After Ma Weiwei finished speaking.
The other members of the Special Affairs Bureau chimed in with their own opinions.
"In the long history of thousands of years, apart from the ancestor Wu Jiu, no other race has been able to compare with the gods."
"It is said that the ancestor traveled all over the land, leaving behind a magical artifact wherever he went. The owners of these artifacts have changed from generation to generation, and to this day, most of them are still missing."
"Qingmian used to be law-abiding and would even help us. I don't know what's wrong with him lately."
"The Three Pure Ones Bell is an object for suppressing souls, slaying demons, exorcising evil spirits, and protecting the body. What use is it for a yin spirit that should be afraid of the Three Pure Ones Bell to steal it? Isn't he afraid of being suppressed to the point of having his soul scattered?"
"He even dares to claim he's the holder of the Three Pure Bells! Everyone knows the Lang family has protected the Three Pure Bells for four hundred years!"
Yan Jiu roughly understood.
There are two voices within the Special Bureau.
One group believes that Qingmian isn't completely evil, while another group believes that Qingmian is beyond redemption.
Yan Jiu suddenly became curious about this green-clad spirit called Qingmian. Having lived as a spirit for so long, it must have many stories to tell, and she loved hearing stories.
Ma Weiwei looked at Yan Jiu: "Senior, Zhifan Forest is currently enveloped by a force, and its magnetic field is becoming increasingly chaotic. I almost failed to send the message I was trying to send to you."
Yan Jiu nodded: "I understand."
As he spoke.
Yan Jiu then walked towards the outer edge of Zhifan Forest.
Ma Weiwei, waiting for Yan Jiu to break the formation: Huh? No, why isn't Senior Yan taking us with him?!
Yan Jiu hadn't taken more than two steps.
Chen Cheng stopped them.
Yan Jiu caught a glimpse of a figure in her peripheral vision, and she stopped in time and turned to the side.
Chen Cheng couldn't brake in time.
His upper body crashed directly into the Zhifan Forest, and his shirt was torn apart by the energy waves of the array outside the forest. It was just a hair's breadth away from tearing Chen Cheng's entire outfit to shreds.
Fortunately, Chen Cheng regained his footing.
Chen Cheng glared fiercely at the perpetrator.
He then discovered that Yan Jiu had raised her phone and unethically taken an embarrassing photo of him, with a regretful expression on her face.
He was so angry he almost vomited blood.
Chen Cheng said in a deep voice, "Who exactly are you? Zhifan Forest is sealed off; no unauthorized personnel are allowed to enter!"
Ma Weiwei immediately objected: "Chen Cheng, what are your intentions in stopping the senior?!"
Lin Han knew that the Xuanmen people were preventing Yan Jiu from going in to rescue Lang Zongyi. He thought for a moment and said, "Senior is an external staff member of our bureau, so of course she can come in!"
Hou Ming, his face swollen from being beaten by the Mountain God, said, "What kind of external staff member is she? You say so, huh? I could say I'm your bureau's chief consultant!"
Yan Jiu looked at Hou Ming with a long gaze: "What a coincidence, are you also the chief consultant?"
Hou Ming choked.
All I saw was...
Yan Jiu took out an ID card from his pocket.
Upon opening it, a passport photo stamped with the official seal of the Special Bureau appeared clearly before everyone's eyes, with the title "Chief Advisor of the National Special Agency" prominently displayed.
To make sure the people from the Xuanmen could see it clearly, Yan Jiu deliberately moved the ID closer to them.
Outsiders may not know what a chief consultant is.
But the people in the Special Affairs Bureau knew.
The chief advisor enjoys all the powers of the director, but does not bear much responsibility; his only duty is to maintain the special agency.
Since the establishment of the Special Bureau, this position of chief advisor has remained vacant until now, and Yan Jiu is the first person to hold it.
Ma Weiwei was more excited than anyone else, and said incoherently, "Senior, it's Director Zhang, it's Director Zhang himself!"
Yan Jiu shrugged.
This certificate is proof that she was scammed, and of course she knows that the "culprit" is Lang Zongyi.
She wouldn't have swallowed this bitter pill if it weren't for the fact that the chief consultant's salary was the same as the bureau chief's.
Yan Jiu turned to Hou Ming and said, "Where's your certificate? Show it to everyone."
Hou Ming: "..."
Chen Cheng, ever the opportunist, said, "So it's you, Chief Advisor. You're truly a man of great talent."
Yan Jiu glanced at Chen Cheng's clothes, which had been torn apart by the formation: "It's not like you. Not only are you a hermaphrodite, but you're also an exhibitionist. Your skinny, chicken-like figure is too much of an eyesore."
As he spoke.
Yan Jiu turned her face away in disgust.
Ma Wei smiled and said, "Please, senior... no, chief advisor, take us with you!"
Yan Jiu said in a serious tone, "The peak of Zhifan Forest is not so easy to conquer."
Ma Weiwei was moved: "Then, senior..."
Yan Jiu wanted to get his salary and bonus for free, and he had a lot of reasons: "I have always had the courage and determination to climb to the top, so don't even think about competing with me for Director Lang's bonus."
