Nine o'clock in the evening.
Zhang Yuanqing sat cross-legged on the balcony of the villa, with a Daluo star plate in front of him, and starlight as bright as water condensed in his eyes.
The night was dark. In his eyes, the vast and lofty night sky, which is bright and dreamy, quiet and mysterious, was dotted with stars. Zhang Yuanqing raised his head and gazed at the night sky. When he was observing the stars seriously, his expression was neither happy nor sad, and his temperament was mysterious and ethereal, just like the ancient sages who sat on the top of the mountain all night long.
After entering the middle stage of the sixth level, the stargazing skills have been greatly improved, mainly reflected in the increase of the time scale. Take the Yin-Yang turntable incident as an example. Before, Zhang Yuanqing could see the progress of this matter in the next three days. Now it is seven days. This is the increase of the time scale.
However, as long as a high-level master is involved, the progress of the event will be filled with foggy areas that cannot be explored.
When it comes to demigods, there won’t even be any foggy areas. Demigods seem to have the ability to observe the stars and do divination, and low-level spiritual travelers cannot “see” them.
"Hmm, there is indeed fog, which means that a high-level master is involved in this matter. The boss is right. They will ask Elder Cai to take action, but it could also be Elder Di Hong?"
“With the relationship with Huang Taiji, the elder should not take the initiative to deal with me, but he will not stand on my side regarding the Yin-Yang Wheel. The headquarters will not tolerate me embezzling public assets.
He didn't want to embezzle public assets, but the boss's 80 million yuan couldn't be wasted. Later, he refused Secretary Li's compromise because he couldn't swallow this breath. It's like someone plotted to cheat you, and after the failure, you apologized and returned the money and wanted to end it? How could it be so easy?
Neither he nor Fu Qingyang believed that suffering a loss is a blessing.
Zhang Yuanqing restrained the starlight in his eyes, ended the deduction, and let the information related to the Yin-Yang turntable dissipate.
A few seconds later, he opened his eyes again. The sky was bright with starlight. The stars around him reappeared. The stars collided and shifted, showing the future trend.
This time, Zhang Yuanxiao deduced the whereabouts of "Pluto".
The stars in the night sky collided more and more violently, and the flickering light also changed. The whole night sky seemed to have become a display screen. Only those who controlled the code could understand the changes on the display screen. After more than ten minutes, the flickering and wandering stars returned to their original positions, and then... a star in the southwest suddenly shone brightly, and then dimmed.
Zhang Yuanqing suddenly opened his eyes, "Southwest... Pluto is in the southwest."
He got more detailed information about Pluto from Annie. It was a gratifying achievement to be able to obtain the specific location through deduction based on the information.
If you want to go a step further, you need to have a connection with the other party or have personal belongings, flesh, hair, and skin as a medium, but at this stage, these things are impossible to obtain.
"After the Yin-Yang turntable incident is over, I'll go to Yidao Southwest and treat it as a vacation. Well, let me deduce Guan Ya and the others..." He reopened his starry eyes and observed the stars.
"The spiritual realm isolates the art of stargazing, but the karmic connection between Guan Ya and I is too deep, so we can get some enlightenment... Still alive? Of course he is still alive in the non-death copy. It was a lonely deduction. Zhang Yuanqing finished stargazing, feeling a little sore in his eyes and a slight dizziness.
The star-gazing rice consumed too much of the power of the stars, and he had to maintain the Daluo star plate while watching the tail.
"It's a bit embarrassing. My current Taiyin power is not as good as those who major in Taiyin, and my astral power is not as good as those who major in stars, but I have the power of the sun, which makes me a rival to those of the same profession." At this time, a black light that Jintong people could not see swept across the sky and landed on the platform. A pair of handsome men and beautiful women emerged from the black light.
"Yuanshi, long time no see!" The handsome man waved at her with a smile.
Zhang Yuanqing completely ignored him and stared at the foreign beauty. This was a sister, no, auntie, whose appearance and beauty were both stunning.
She had long chestnut hair that was slightly curled at the ends, a perfect oval face, delicate and deep facial features, and charming light blue eyes. She was wearing a white vest, a black leather jacket, and a pair of slim jeans.
Zhang Yuanqingxin said that she was worthy of being the woman who changed her mentor Xiaoxin, and she was indeed a stunning beauty.
"Hey, hey, hey!" Ling Diao glared at him, "You've been staring at Victoria for longer than is safe. Please take your gaze away, or we will be separated as master and disciple today."
"I'm just curious. Don't judge others by your own standards." Zhang Yuanqingfeng said. Search for the title of Sanyoujia on Bing or QQ browser to get the first-hand experience every day.
Ling Diao said, "Victoria, this is what I told you. The lustful and romantic Yuanshi Yaozun, whose girlfriends are all over the pine sea."
Zhang Yuanjiu: "???"
Victoria smiled and said, "Hello!" She spoke with a standard Beijing accent, and her Mandarin was even more fluent than Zhang Yuanqing, a southerner.
Zhang Yuanqing stopped teasing, stood up, bowed, and said seriously, "Thank you for your help."
“It’s a piece of cake,” Victoria said.
The purpose of her trip was to set up a formation and grant Yuanshi Yaozun hidden power.
The next morning, Zhang Yuanqing had just taken two bites of fried dumplings when a group of law enforcement officers rushed in. They were all dressed in formal attire, handsome men and beautiful women. If you didn’t know better, you would have thought it was a Korean idol drama.
The leader was a man as strong as a black bear. He was also dressed in formal clothes, but two buttons of his shirt were open, revealing thick, curly black hair.
The sturdy man, who looked like a fire master in both temperament and physique, strode to the dining table with a rough and loud voice.
"Yuanshi Yaozun, I am the senior deacon of the Quasi-Sea Branch, Lingjing ID Liaoyuan Yaohuo, you are suspected of embezzling the assets of the Five Elements Alliance, please go back with us and cooperate with the investigation. This is a detention order issued by the headquarters." A fire master was also sent over. Zhang Yuanqing immediately understood the sinister intentions of Secretary Li and the detective chief.
After the trial, everyone knew that Yuanshi Yao was really unruly and even dared to confront the ten elders of the headquarters, so the Huaihai branch sent an impulsive and hot-tempered fire master to arrest him in order to let the two powder kegs collide.
Once he resists or even takes action, the nature of the matter will be upgraded to "Yuanshi Yaozun resists arrest for fear of crime."
Zhang Yuanqing's eyes fell on the arrest warrant and saw the signer's spiritual realm ID - Yi Caihetu!
“Where are you going?” He looked away and continued eating his buns.
"Quasi-Sea Division." said the sturdy man.
Zhang Yuanqing said "Oh" in a calm tone, "Wait until I finish breakfast."
Sure enough, the sturdy man raised his thick eyebrows when he heard it, and dragged Zhang Yuanqing's shoulders, "Please go back with us, immediately..." Before he finished speaking, his eyes suddenly became empty and he stood there in a daze.
The handsome men and beautiful women from the Zhunhai branch behind him were all stunned.
Zhang Yuanqing gently pulled away the big hand on his shoulder and buried his head in his food. After the last bowl of soy milk went into his stomach, he took out the paper and wiped his mouth clean, saying, "I'm done."
This sentence was like a spell to dispel a magic. The stunned people recovered one after another, their eyes regained vitality, and they were stunned when they saw the scene before them.
In their minds, Yuanshi Yaozun refused to cooperate and was forcibly taken away by Deacon Liaoyuan and put on a special car to the Zhunhai branch.
Everyone felt that Yuanshi Yaozun was nothing special, and were thinking about finding an opportunity to make things difficult for this talented person along the way. After all, as a middle-level cadre of the Quasi-Sea Branch, everyone was extremely dissatisfied with Yuanshi Yaozun's occupation of their own treasures.
But now, they were still in the villa, and Yuanshi Yaozun was sitting in front of the empty dining table with a smile on his face.
Illusion! Including the "Liaoyuan Fire", the children's eyes of the people in the Huaihai branch shrank slightly, and the arrogance and momentum of the law enforcers were like being poured with a bucket of cold water.
They didn't even realize when they were under the illusion. Seeing that the effect of the show of power was achieved, Zhang Yuanqing smiled and said, "I am willing to cooperate with the investigation. Let's go. He put his hands in front of the sturdy man.
"Do you want handcuffs?" Liaoyuan Yaohuo's expression changed. Before setting off, the detective chief did hint that Yuanshi Yaozun had embezzled the assets of the Zhunhai branch, and that he should be given appropriate warnings along the way.
But now it seems that even violent law enforcement is probably just an illusion.
At this time, a young woman with a good appearance behind him said, "No need, you just need to go back and assist in the investigation. He is not a criminal."
The blaze spread down the steps, "Let's go!"
The patrol team of the Huaihai Branch came by car, and naturally drove back as well. Huaihai needs to cross the province to reach Songhai, with a total distance of 200 kilometers. They set off in the morning, and the CRRC finally arrived at the Huaihai Branch.
With the recent show of force, the law enforcement team behaved well along the way and did not make things difficult for him or provoke him.
Zhang Yuanqing was taken directly to the interrogation room of the Zhunhai Branch, a small room with cold lighting, an interrogation chair, and a video recording device facing him.
The layout of the interrogation room was exactly the same as that of the investigation department at the headquarters. After he was left in the interrogation room for an hour, the heavy soundproof door was pushed open, and a young man with a military temperament walked in.
"I ask, you answer." The young man sat down, put down the recorder first, then spread out the confession book, picked up the pen, and said coldly.
"In which instance was the Yin-Yang Wheel lost?"
"Gang copy."
"What level?"
"S-level, Mo Sect Mechanical City." The young man paused while writing, looked up at him and continued to ask, "List of gang members traveling with you."
"The membership list involves privacy, I refuse to answer"
"How did the Yin-Yang Wheel get lost? Please tell me the details." The Huaihai branch office is located in the bustling city center, similar in size to the Public Security Bureau. Turn left and you will see a shopping mall about 100 meters away, surrounded by residential buildings. There is also a primary school on the right.
The offices of all the major branches are located in the city center. At first glance, this goes against the original intention of never revealing the existence of the spiritual realm practitioners. The headquarters of the superpowers should be located in an uninhabited suburb for the safest purpose.
But in fact, the location selection of the official branches is very particular, and the first condition is dense staffing.
The more densely populated a place is, the safer it is. The existence of moral values makes all spiritual realm travelers cautious. No one is willing to kill people in a busy city, even demigods will be afraid.
Therefore, since the establishment of the Five Elements Alliance, its major branches have hardly ever been targeted by the bigwigs of the evil camp.
If it were an uninhabited suburb, it would have been wiped out by the rulers and demigods of the evil organization long ago.
After all, they are barefoot and come and go without a trace, while the officials are the maintainers of order. The monk can run away, but the temple cannot. Therefore, in the cruel confrontation between the camps, some morality and kindness in the eyes of ordinary people have to be sacrificed.
In the top floor office, the detective chief stood by the French window and looked at the busy streets. He said, "Liaoyuan Yaohuo said that Yuanshi Yaozun's illusion has reached the peak level of the Saint stage. That should not be the Star Illusion. He has transformed Yin Chuanmei into a spirit servant. In addition to the body of the Greedy God General, he alone is equivalent to several sixth-level saints. He has achieved such an achievement in just five months. It is simply shocking."
The black ringer beside the dot sighed, "If he had a gentler personality, the headquarters would train him to be the sixth leader regardless of everything. But with the Marshal's previous experience, the Ten Elders will not let him enjoy power unless his edges are smoothed out."
“Marshal…” Upon hearing this, the detective chief suddenly recalled all the mess that happened in the past. Although the young Marshal was not as rebellious as Yuanshi Yaozun, he also had a bad personality. He was strong and overbearing, and would stab people with a sword if they disagreed with him.
The marshal joined the Five Elements Alliance when she was at the Saint level. Before that, she worked for the Yao Fa organization. It was said that when the Bo family elders planned to let this darling girl of Yao jump to the Five Elements Alliance, the two demigod leaders of Yao Fa were alarmed and sent a team of level one executives to the Fu family to put pressure on them. The Five Elements Alliance was not to be outdone and quickly sent a group of elders. The two sides stayed at the Fu family for a year, quarreling whenever they met, fighting after the quarrel, and wishing to dig up their ancestors' graves. In the end, they offered huge benefits to recruit this young lady to the Five Elements Alliance.
After much difficulty, we recruited the seed. The headquarters treasured her very much and gave her the greatest benefits and conveniences. They held her in high esteem, but something went wrong.
As the jewel in the crown of the Lingjing family, Fu Qingxuan has outstanding appearance and is also gifted.
Naturally, she became the object of pursuit by the young talents of the government, the second and third generations.
The second and third generations are a very complex group. Among them are outstanding people like the four official sons, but there are also many idiots who indulge in luxury and pleasure.
So someone resorted to despicable tricks, but Fu Qingxuan was the leader of the alliance and had great wisdom, so he was no match for a fool and killed the man with one sword.
Although the other party was at fault, the crime was not punishable by death, and Fu Qingxuan should not decide her life or death. Therefore, the headquarters wanted to teach Fu Mingzhu a lesson so that she would be more restrained. The punishment was not severe, just a demotion, one month of confinement, a fine of 30 million, and two props.
Fu Qingxuan had never suffered such humiliation before. She was a little princess in the Fu family, a little prince in Yaofa, and the eldest princess in the Five Elements Alliance. She was very unruly and domineering, so she made a scene at the headquarters and made the ten elders lose face.
There are many similar examples. During her tenure, Fu Qingxuan refused to obey discipline and often beat and injured her colleagues. Anyone she disliked was taught a lesson, and those with serious behavior were stabbed. Although no one was killed, the headquarters could not control her at all.
The reason why she entered the gang dungeon for training was because the conflict had intensified to the point where it was difficult to reconcile, even deeper than the current conflict between Yuanshi Yaozun and the headquarters.
Fortunately, she had been training in the dungeon for a year, and after coming out, her temperament had calmed down and she was no longer aggressive.
Having served as a marshal for these years, he gradually matured and finally looked like a leader.
Therefore, it makes sense for the headquarters to crack down on Yuanshi Yaozun, just to prevent the emergence of rebellious "children" like Fu Qingzhi.
A soft knock on the door interrupted the detective's thoughts. He looked at the frosted glass door of the office and said, "Come in!" The young swordsman pushed the door open, handed over the transcript, and then left.
The detective returned to the table, sat opposite the old man in black robes, and read the transcript carefully. A sneer appeared on his serious face: "The Yin-Yang turntable fell into the abyss? What a poor excuse. Does he really think Fu Qingyang can settle this matter for him?"
The old man in black robe said calmly: "It is indeed a bit arrogant to embezzle the Yin-Yang Turntable." In this matter, the Huaihai Branch and Yuanshi Yaozun have an irreconcilable conflict of interest. Search for Sanyoujia book title on Bing or QQ browser to experience it first every day.
The detective elder snorted, "Not only is he arrogant, he's also stupid! Can he just take the official assets whenever he wants? The headquarters won't agree, and neither will the leaders. Once this precedent is set, will other branches follow suit and transfer public property to their own pockets? In recent years, many relatives of deacons and elders have tried their best to take the assets of the Five Elements Alliance and turn public money into private property through legal means. The headquarters has always severely punished such behavior."
He raised his teacup and took a sip, then looked at the old man in black robe and asked, "Has the tiger talisman come down?"
The old man in black robe shook his head: "Elder Cai has already applied to the Marshal, and he should be here before the end of get off work today."
"Wait until the tiger talisman is applied for and the matter is classified, and the leaders will not let him go." The detective elder threw the pen and said: "Stupid."
The two of them didn't say anything else and drank their tea in silence.
Not long after, the cell phone in front of the old man in black robe rang. The detective chief glanced at the lit phone screen and saw that the caller was Elder Cai's secretary.
The old man in black robe answered the call, clicked the hands-free button, and said with a smile, "Secretary Zhou."
A man's deep voice came from the other end of the phone: "The tiger talisman was not applied for. The marshal rejected it."
"What?" The black-robed old man and Elder Lei Quan straightened their backs abruptly and stared at the phone screens in astonishment.
"The Marshal refused." Elder Cai's secretary repeated.
The old man in black robe picked up the phone and asked hurriedly, "What's the reason?"
"She said..." Secretary Zhou's tone suddenly became strange, "She's not in a good mood, so I won't lend it to you!"
