Chapter 619: The Ninth Bureau is Established
"Nine Bureaus?" Zhang Jinghe laughed and said, "This name is quite interesting. Nine is the highest yang number, representing perfection and nobility. It is quite suitable to be used as the name of a sect!"
What he said came true.
Over the next year, Zhang Jinghe, Xiao Yuan and eight other people followed Chen Wan on a journey across the country, exorcising demons and suppressing evil spirits.
They learned that Shen Wan was going to collect merits and spiritual power, so they collected them all silently and gave them to her.
She got along very well with them, and everyone was deeply impressed by her strength and learned a lot of Taoism.
On this day, Chen Wan had just led them to eliminate an evil spirit that was wreaking havoc on the people when she felt a burning sensation coming from the pocket watch hanging around her neck.
When she picked it up, she discovered that the timeline on it was moving at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The number 3 in the lower right corner is also gradually fading.
Chen Wan knew very well that he was about to leave, and subconsciously looked at Zhang Jing and them.
Zhang Jinghe didn't know she was leaving yet, and smiled happily, "Under the leadership of the boss, we have eliminated another evil spirit this time!"
"I heard that zombies appeared in the southwest area. Boss, should we go take a look?"
Everyone looked towards Shen Wan with enthusiastic eyes.
Shen Wan glanced at the numbers on his pocket watch.
The word 3 is still fading.
She didn't know how long she could stay here, so she thought for a moment and said, "I'm not going."
"Ah?" Xiao Yuan was stunned. "Boss, aren't you collecting merits? I heard that the zombie is very ferocious. If you kill it, you will definitely get a lot of merits!"
Shen Wan smiled slightly: "I'm leaving."
As soon as these words were spoken, the smiles on the eight people's faces froze.
After living together for a year, they have completely regarded Master Taixuan as their own family member.
To them, Taixuan is both a teacher, a friend and a brother.
They learned so much knowledge from Taixuan, and continued to improve and grow in the process of eliminating demons and suppressing evil spirits.
If Taixuan leaves, they will really be reluctant to let him go!
"Brother, where are you going?" Zhang Jinghe said reluctantly, "We can go with you!"
"Yes, yes. With our current abilities, it won't be a problem to catch the Red Ghost!"
"I have memorized all the talisman techniques that the boss taught me. I know all the talismans for suppressing ghosts and so on! I won't be a burden to the boss, right?"
Everyone was talking, all wanting to follow Chen Wan.
Chen Wan smiled and said, "You have been learning from me for a year, and you are now able to deal with ordinary evil spirits on your own. I will leave you some books on Taoist magic and Feng Shui spells, so you just need to learn and practice more."
Zhang Jinghe looked at her eagerly: "Boss, where are you going? Can't we go to that place together?"
Shen Wan shook his head and looked towards the distant sky: "You can go too, but the time is not right yet."
Zhang Jinghe was confused and had no idea what she meant by what she said.
Chen Wan saw that everyone had sad faces and looked reluctant to leave.
"Hey, why are you looking so sad? I'm not dead. I'm just going to where I'm supposed to go."
"Boss, when will you be back?"
Everyone looked over eagerly again.
Shen Wan was silent.
Replying that it is impossible.
"We are destined to meet each other. One day in the future, we will definitely meet again."
Shen Wan felt the pocket watch in his palm getting hotter and hotter.
In order to complete the historical cycle, she quickly said, "By the way, you said before that you wanted to set up an organization that specializes in slaying demons and eliminating harm for the people, right? I think this is a good idea."
Zhang Jinghe's eyes lit up: "That's right! If we can organize ourselves and let the ambitious and capable monks in China join us, we can protect China together!"
Chen Wan smiled and said, "There are exactly nine of us, how about calling it the 9th inning?"
"sure!"
"Nine innings, I agree!"
Everyone responded with joy.
Chen Wan stood up and announced in a sonorous voice: "From now on, the Ninth Bureau is established. The original intention of its founding is to protect the balance of yin and yang in China, protect the world from evil spirits, eliminate all supernatural threats, and keep China peaceful and tranquil!"
Everyone said in a loud voice: "Keep China peaceful and tranquil!"
Before leaving, Shen Wan handed them all the metaphysical books he had written in the past year.
Each person received a different book, depending on their individual abilities.
They were very grateful to Shen Wan.
Xiao Yuan said with tears in her eyes, "I will never let my boss down. I will pass on what I have learned throughout my life to my son, my son's son, and my son's son's son, and pass it on from generation to generation!"
On the last night, Chen Wan drank and chatted with them.
When Zhang Jing and the others woke up the next day, they found that Chen Wan had disappeared.
Zhang Jinghe thought of what the boss had said to him alone last night, saying that he would encounter a disaster in nearly a hundred years.
He even asked with a smile whether the grave had been dug up.
The boss told him to live well and someone would save him.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but burst into tears: "Boss, why are you leaving just like that? Do you really not want us anymore?"
Zhang Jinghe choked with sobs and hugged the Taoist medical heritage written by his eldest brother in his arms.
Taixuan left and everyone was in a heavy mood.
The eight people came outside and looked at the rising sun, each of their faces filled with reluctance and determination.
Over the next few decades, they waited from youth to adulthood, from adulthood to middle age, and from middle age to old age...
No one found any news of Taixuan anymore.
Some of the eight people passed away one after another, and finally only Zhang Jinghe was left alive.
Ninth Bureau Headquarters.
Zhang Jinghe sat in the director's seat, looking at the badge on the table with the number 1 engraved on it, and his weathered eyes gradually became moist.
"Boss, where have you been all these years?"
They have been searching for Taixuan's whereabouts over the years, but to no avail.
Taixuan, just like its name, is mysterious and unfathomable.
"Will I ever be able to see you again in my lifetime?"
For many years, all the Chinese Taoists knew that the Jiujiu was founded by Taixuan, but he was so mysterious that Zhang Jinghe could only announce to the public that Taixuan had gone traveling around the world.
If it weren't for the day and night interactions and the experience of suppressing evil together that year, and if it weren't for the fact that someone from the Xuanmen saw it with their own eyes, Zhang Jinghe would have almost thought that it was just a dream and that Taixuan himself didn't exist.
Fortunately, many people in Xuanmen have witnessed Taixuan's abilities, and they all admire him very much.
Zhang Jinghe tightly grasped the badge with the number "1" on it, his face already covered in tears.
Suddenly, one of his men came in to report.
"Director! The Li family in the imperial capital has sent an urgent request for help. Elder Li's daughter-in-law is having a difficult delivery, and we would like you to come over and take a look!"
Seeing the usually dignified and serious director crying like a child, his subordinates were shocked and asked, "Director, what's wrong with you?"
Zhang Jinghe put away the "1" badge, wiped his tears, and regained his serious look, "Prepare the car, go to Li's house."
