Jing Cheng's heart was very complicated. Although he was just at the introductory stage of learning foreign languages, he knew what gay meant because this word appeared too frequently during this period.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but turn his head and look at Qin Yan.
Qin Yan also seemed to have admitted that he was gay.
Then he and Qin Yan are inseparable all day long...wouldn't that also lead to misunderstanding?
Qin Yan looked calm and composed. He knew Jing Cheng was peeping at him, and he could probably guess why he was peeping at him.
He remained expressionless and pursed his lips, feeling a little sour in his heart. Although he understood his own feelings, he had never done anything out of line. Jing Cheng's worries were totally unnecessary.
Sure enough, Jing Cheng quickly turned his head away again.
Qin Yan sighed in his heart.
Zhang Jinhuai, who was talking to the police over there, seemed to sense something and glared at Zhang Baodou with an unfriendly look.
Zhang Baodou was completely unaware and continued to talk to himself: "So, no matter whether it's a man or a woman, a beauty or a boyfriend, they all have the potential to cause trouble. The ancients were right!"
...
...
Jing Cheng: “…”
Qin Yan: “…”
No, he is an elder and a leader of the Maoshan Sect after all.
As a junior, is it really appropriate for you to make up stories about others behind their backs?
Three men standing here gossiping about other people's private affairs in the middle of the night... It's hard to even think about it.
"Stop!" Jing Qing cleared his throat and changed the subject, "According to what you said, Peng Ji has done so many evil things, why did the Taoist Association allow him to stir up trouble in Bijia Village for so many years?"
"I'm ashamed to say this." Zhang Baodou scratched his head awkwardly, "This guy is so good at hiding. He likes to make money. He used to be active in Beijing and he's extravagant. No one would have thought that he would hide in a village for so many years. If the program team hadn't made it a hot topic, we wouldn't have known about this place."
Qin Yan crossed his arms and sneered, "You're talking so much nonsense, aren't you just looking for excuses for your incompetence?"
Zhang Baodou: “…”
He wanted to retort, but after thinking for a long time he couldn't come up with any reason to refute.
When the Peng Ji incident happened, the Taoists of their generation in the Taoist Association were all relatively young, and it should have had nothing to do with them. However, the matter of the previous generation dragged on for more than ten years and was only resolved now.
If they had acted a few years earlier, wouldn't so many people have died in Bijia Village? Would those innocent tourists have not suffered such an unprovoked disaster?
It’s no wonder that others say that their Taoist Association is incompetent. If he were a bystander, he would also think that the Taoist Association is incompetent.
Zhang Baodou looked a little embarrassed, but he still struggled to say, "Who could have thought of this?"
Jing Cheng and Qin Yan rolled their eyes in sync.
Zhang Baodou: "... However, if Daoist Brother Jing can join our Daoist Association, I am sure that our case handling efficiency will be greatly improved in the future!"
After saying this, Zhang Baodou's eyes revealed anticipation.
Qin Yan turned his head and glanced at Jing Cheng. There was no expression on Jing Cheng's face, but he could sense a hint of unpleasantness from it. Thinking about Jing Cheng's personality, Qin Yan suddenly realized something and turned to Zhang Baodou and said, "Do you mean to let my master come over to work for you?"
"How can it be called working? If a master-level figure like Brother Daoist Jing comes to the Taoist Association, he will definitely get treatment that matches his ability!" Zhang Baodou explained hurriedly.
He easily solved the problem of Peng Ji, who had troubled the Taoist Association for more than ten years. They will definitely treat him as a guest of honor!
Jing Cheng asked doubtfully, "Really?"
Zhang Baodou nodded like a little chicken pecking at rice: "No doubt about it!"
Qin Yan looked at Zhang Baodou with a critical eye: "How much weight do your words carry in the Taoist Association?"
"Why are you asking this?" Zhang Baodou was slightly surprised.
The Taoist Association was originally established by the Zhang family of Longhu Mountain. Although all Taoist sects now have a seat in the association, the words of the Zhang family still carry the most weight.
But when recruiting people, one still has to leave a good impression on the other party, so Zhang Baodou said modestly: "I'm just a logistics technician, just an average guy."
Qin Yan snorted and laughed: "I guess so."
Zhang Baodou: “…”
Zhang Baodou didn't look at him depressedly. He turned to look at Jing Cheng, eagerly waiting for his reply.
Jing Cheng felt uncomfortable being looked at by him, and sighed helplessly, "I'll think about it."
What else is there to consider? !
Haven't I made myself clear enough? ! !
Zhang Baodou was screaming like a rabid dog in his heart, but on the surface he pretended to be a grandson, nodding and bowing, saying with a dog-licking expression: "Okay, give me an answer after you have considered it, boss, let's add WeChat."
Jing Cheng certainly wouldn’t refuse such a simple request, not to mention that he even included the annoying Zhang Jinhuai (……).
Take out your phone, bring up the WeChat interface, and scan the QR code to add a friend.
"bite--"
Zhang Baodou looked down and saw that the boss’s WeChat name was simply “Big Orange”, and his avatar was actually a grinning orange?
Isn’t this the silly orange emoticon that is very popular on the Internet?
Is it so that the boss is so down-to-earth?
He also thought that the other party's WeChat would be as pretentious as his junior master's, with his Taoist name "Xuanqing Taoist" as his WeChat name and his own calligraphy written with a brush as his avatar.
After collecting his phone with satisfaction, Zhang Baodou remembered something and quickly asked Jing Cheng, "By the way, I'm curious about one thing. Boss, do you know about the Taoist Academic Forum?"
Jing Cheng: “I know.”
"Then have you ever heard of a Guma 'Lingsu Zhenren' in the forum?"
Jing Cheng raised his eyebrows slightly: "I know, what's the problem?"
"Nothing." Zhang Baodou rubbed his hands and said excitedly, "I'm just curious, what is the relationship between you and Lingsu Zhenren? This big guy is also very powerful and knowledgeable. He knows a lot of lost Taoist techniques... I remember his registration information, and his last name seems to be Jing..."
Jing Cheng suddenly said: "It's me."
"The Taoist Association wants to invite him to be a teacher, but unfortunately we can't contact him... What?" Zhang Baodou widened his eyes and looked at Jing Cheng in surprise.
Jing Cheng said calmly: "I am the 'Lingsu Zhenren' you mentioned. What's the problem?"
"..." Zhang Baodou choked and said, "No problem."
This is a big problem, okay?! In the eyes of everyone in the Taoist Association, "Lingsu Zhenren" is a Taoist master with a kind face and a kind face. He should be at least 70 or 80 years old. Even if he has the ability to maintain his youth, he should not look like a 17 or 18-year-old boy!
Where on earth did this monster, Fellow Daoist Jing, come from?
He is handsome, capable, and knows a lot... Most importantly, he is still young and has a promising future!
After figuring it out, Zhang Baodou realized that the tower of heaven belonging to his junior uncle was crumbling, while the tower of heaven belonging to Taoist Jing was rising from the ground.
Judging from Fellow Daoist Jing’s level... maybe the next president of the Taoist Association will be Fellow Daoist Jing!
Should he hug his thigh in advance?
Thinking of this, Zhang Baodou suddenly realized something. He turned his head and looked at Qin Yan and asked, "Wait, you just said he was your master?"
Qin Yan said in a deep voice: "Why? Is it not possible?"
"Of course!" Zhang Baodou had a complicated expression. It turns out that you are the one who is best at sucking up to others... Young man, you've made a fortune!
…
The night of the seventh day of the ninth lunar month is a sleepless night for Bijia Village.
The program team and people from the Taoist Association assisted the police and turned Bijia Village upside down. With the help of professionals from the Taoist Association, compasses, talismans, Bagua mirrors were used, and all the corpses buried in the village for more than ten years were dug out.
In addition to the locust trees in the village, there are also many villagers' backyards, fields, under the sauerkraut jars, and even on the earthen kangs...
By the end of the search, everyone's faces had lost all color.
Fu Le said in disbelief: "Fuck! These people can sleep peacefully with skulls under their beds... Aren't they afraid that the dead people will become ghosts and give them nightmares?"
"Look at the bodies buried in the yard. Judging from their size, most of them are children. I guess they should be the children of the owner." Jing Cheng touched his chin and explained, "It's impossible to have a nightmare, because after these 'sacrifices' died, their souls were sucked away by the formation and turned into nutrients. It can be said that their souls flew away, and there is no such thing as turning into 'ghosts'."
Looking around, almost everyone had a pale face, only Jing Cheng was calm and composed, he even went to dig out the bones, his mental quality was evident.
However, his explanation also eased everyone's fear, especially the women present. They stayed up late at night to dig up corpses. This kind of thing that they would never dare to think about actually happened. God knows what kind of mood they were in to come to help.
An Qi covered her mouth in disbelief: "Hiss...it's so cruel."
Mao shook her head and said with emotion: "There are still many places in this world where things that we dare not imagine happen. What we usually see is just a corner of the light. Where there is light, there is darkness. You just don't notice it. Just like now, who would have thought that this place like Peach Blossom Spring is full of filth and so many horrifying things have happened there?"
Professor Fu agreed: "The brighter the light, the darker the shadow."
These words touched everyone's heart, and other members of the program team began to chat about this topic.
"The soul is scattered..." Qin Yan did not have as many emotions as others. He asked Jing Cheng curiously, "You said before that after a person dies, the seven souls will disperse first, and then the three souls will leave the body. The heavenly soul and the earthly soul will return to heaven and earth, and the life soul will return to the underworld. Isn't this another meaning of the soul being scattered?"
Jing Cheng shook his head and said, "This is different. A normal death means that one has a complete soul. The return of the soul to the underworld means that there may be an afterlife, but these people do not have an afterlife."
Qin Yan nodded, then thought, don’t these people all seem to be reincarnations?
Somehow, he couldn't help asking, "Do I have a past life? Can you tell my past life?"
Qin Yan regretted asking the question as soon as he said it. He felt that the question was too stupid, so he quickly turned around and waved his hand, saying, "Forget it. I was just asking nonsense. Just pretend you didn't hear it."
Jing Cheng tilted his head to look at Qin Yan, and his heart moved.
Previous life?
He remembered that when he first met Qin Yan, he did feel that he looked very familiar. His first reaction at the time was that he was the descendant of his enemy, but he later ruled that out.
He looked at the clean and neat lines on Qin Yan's neck, and vaguely recalled a profile deep in his memory. What was that person's name?
It seems to be his last name Lian?
Lian, Lian...Lian Xuefeng!
Jing Cheng's eyes widened and his heart was shocked.
