Returning from the abyss

Chapter 692
Nothing happened on the way back to Zaoyuanzhuang.But this time and again, when Lu Ning arrived at Dadong Road, it was already dark, and it happened to be able to see the night of Dadong Road—it was no different from the night in ordinary towns.

It was meaningless to go to the place where the traffic accident happened. The scene could have been dealt with in a day. At most, things like the cordon were still being pulled, and useful news had to wait for Chen Hang.A group of people got out of the car and found a place to eat. It was probably too late to go back to Xiaheshao at this time.

Coincidentally, the restaurant I chose happened to have a table of people sitting near the door, and one of them who was facing the door saw the people coming in, immediately stood up and greeted enthusiastically: "Lu Ping! Lu Ping? here!"

Lu Ping turned her head, with a slight smile on her face.

"Are you... all here?"

"Hey, it's not rushing to various places... Cough, anyway, you know. Because everyone doesn't know which place it is, so let's touch your tone." The man said with a smile on his face, and the rest of the people also twisted. Looking back, it seemed that most of them knew Lu Ping, and they all greeted each other.

Lu Ping still didn't want to be with these people, so he gestured to Lu Ning and the others: "I still have something to do, so it's inconvenient to leave now."

"What's there, I know everyone. In this way, let the boss make a table." The man still greeted warmly.

Most of these people are far from the Taoist priests in Lu Ning's impression. The appearance of drinking and chatting and bragging has nothing to do with cultivating Taoism.

In the end, it was Lu Ping who declined them politely, and they asked for a room alone, and sat down to order food.

"Brother, this is the Taoist you know." Qi Mei winked and said, "It looks like me, doesn't it?"

"Well, there are one or two of these people who were able to help as I said before." Lu Ping looked a little disappointed, "Their Taoism cultivation is indeed not bad, but they are cultivating the Tao and not cultivating their minds. What's the use?"

"Probably pursuing differences." Lu Ning did not value these things as much as Lu Ping did. "Perhaps cultivating Taoism and learning the law is just as much a means of earning money as people going to university to learn some skills. Some people don't pursue fame and fortune after death. In fact, such people are the majority.”

Lu Ping remained silent, and Lu Ning didn't try to persuade him. After all, cultivating the Tao has different meanings in the eyes of different people, and arguing about it won't change other people's views.

Soon, the dishes ordered by several people came.Lu Ning was relatively close to the door, so she got up and took a plate of sauced meat from the waiter, and laid it out on the table.The staple food ordered by several people also came up, and it was just time to start with three or four dishes, but when Lu Ning broke his chopsticks, he suddenly saw that the white ring on his finger had solidified a lot.

"Slow down, Daoist Lu, the one in my hand is responding. Is there something wrong with the dishes on this table?"

Several people immediately stopped their chopsticks nervously, Lu Ping looked around carefully, then shook his head: "I don't see any problem..."

It was Qi Mei who reacted the fastest at this time, raised his hand to pick up the plate of sauced meat, scraped the bottom twice with his fingernails, and tore off a piece of transparent glue.

"Hey! These bastards actually put a spell on us? Is this a newly researched shortcut spell?"

Lu Ping took it over to look at it, and nodded: "It should be a sound transmission or message, not a destructive talisman, and it has already expired. This kind of talisman is more concealed than the yellow paper and can be stuck in different places. Some Taoists like to use it."

"It's invalid because Li Wenyue touched it, right? These people just want to monitor us! I'll settle the score with them!" Qi Mei rolled up his sleeves and was about to go out. Seeing that no one was following him, he immediately sat back on his seat .

Everyone didn't care about his funny behavior. Lu Ping looked at the spell carefully, then shook his head: "Probably they think we have some secrets here that they don't want to share, so they use this method to inquire about it. For cultivators , the charm is easier than bugs and the like, and it happened to be cracked by Ms. Li."

"It's purely a coincidence. If they really have the ability to install a bug, I can't get lucky." Lu Ning turned her wrist, "This thing can really crack anything."

"I have some ideas about the thing in your hand, Miss Li." Lu Ping said, "This white ring should be a very solid yin—not yin qi, or something like yin. One itself. When yin and yang are in the purest state, they have a powerful penetrating effect on the unnatural yin and yang state, and whether it is the ghost domain cast by ghosts or the Taoist art, it is basically an interference with the yin and yang in the world. The resulting unnatural state, so you only need to touch the white ring to break the unnatural Yin-Yang state."

"It sounds amazing." Teng Xuan said excitedly.

"But... there must be some restrictions, right?" Lu Ning stared at the white ring on her finger, watching it slowly return to its empty state.She has already noticed that the time it takes for the white ring to return to its void state after it has solidified has begun to lengthen, which is probably not a good thing.

"I only guess that if there is not enough supplementary means, this thing can only be a consumable. It is not big, and all the things I have tried now are small, so it can be cracked. In such a large-scale unnatural state, I am afraid that there is only the power to protect ourselves." Lu Ping said.

"That's enough. If you can protect yourself, you will naturally have a way to get rescued." Lu Ning was very satisfied with this, then reached into her bag, took out a bug with a sticky ball, and threw it away. To Qimei: "Since they dare to play this game with us, then we have to pay back some color, Qimei, you don't need to ask for an explanation, pretend you don't know to order food, and install this bug on the table near their table. I want to hear what they are talking about."

"Okay!" Qi Mei was happy to do this kind of thing, and immediately took the bug and went out.But he came back in 5 minutes, still holding a glass of beer in his hand: "Those people didn't seem to notice, they dragged me and bought me a drink! Haha, I just put it under the table next to me!"

"Be careful what's in this glass of wine!" Teng Xuan looked down on him a little bit.

"Don't worry, I took the cup myself and buckled it again. Unless they can invent some gaseous spell, it's impossible to be on it." Qi Mei was even more proud, drank the wine in the cup, and then happily sat back on the seat.

Lu Ning was not worried that Qi Mei, an old Jianghu, would not be on guard at this time. She took out her earphones and connected to the bug, and began to listen to what was chatting at the table over there.

Judging from the content of the conversation, these people really just came to see the situation after hearing some news about Bai Li.Because there are several places around Gengwu City where the white ceremony is being held, and no one can figure out where the so-called "secret treasure" will appear, these people can only run around together in small groups.Except for some solitary ones who have to try their luck, each sect also has some disciples running errands, and the seniors in the sect will be notified when they are really sure... In short, it is the one that Lu Ning is so familiar with that she doesn't even need to guess.

But what is slightly different is that these people have become good friends during the days of running errands. Although they may be friends of wine and meat, they are still very close to each other on the surface.Bragging about one's own martial arts, and then praising other people's martial arts stunts, a bunch of quackery is really eye-opening.Lu Ningguang felt that they could directly find out the white god behind Bai Li after listening to the content.

"Lu Daochang, how is the competition between sects?"

Lu Ping thought for a while and replied: "As far as I know, except for some sects that have feuds, most sects don't have much disputes. They are good at different ways of Taoism, and some disciples will fight each other. Introduce business."

"But if it is an extremely precious secret treasure that was born this time, wouldn't there be a fight between these sects?"

Lu Ping smiled: "Secret treasures always have their value. If they are of good value but are not peerless treasures, then each depends on his own ability, and the sect he finally gets may be congratulated. But if it is really a peerless treasure... "

"For example, if you get it, you can unify the entire Taoism world." Teng Xuan added.

"Haha, if there is such a treasure, no sect can get it, and the country will take it away."

"What?" Teng Xuan was taken aback by this answer.

"The country has its top Taoist talents trained with a large amount of resources. You may not know that all existing Taoist sects have copies of the Taoism secret codes in the National Taoism Association, and use the power of the whole country to screen Taoism talents. Based on our population, it is not difficult. A 30-year-old Taoist priest with a national name can outperform a group of us.”

"So powerful? Why didn't you cultivate them publicly..." Teng Xuan was stunned.

"First of all, these are not encouraged on the surface. After all, there are only a few qualified people, and the majority will instead have more wild ideas. Secondly, various sects still want to maintain the inheritance of Taoism in the traditional way. It is no problem for the country to ask for classics. But most people don’t want to open a forum to recruit apprentices and run a school. Finally, resources, although I don’t know how many resources are needed to train such a person, there are definitely a few, and increasing the number of people will only lead to the dispersion of resources.”

Lu Ping was still very clear about these things.

"The Taoist priest seems to have been in touch with this matter." Lu Ning said.

"When I was young, I was fortunate enough to go through a round of selection, but I was eliminated in the first round. Later, I learned more about it after inquiring about it and the identity of the senior disciple of Chengyun Temple." Lu Ping shook his head, "Miss Li, qualifications are such a thing. Only natural. If you have the aptitude, you can at least make it through the second or third round, but it's a pity..."

"Senior brother, usually don't bring up such things all the time, EQ." Qi Mei poked his head, "Have those people talked about these things?"

"It's all just chatting. When did a sect do something big? They caught a few ghosts and took them out to brag about, and the people next to them also agreed... It's really harmonious." Lu Ning has also been paying attention to the people over there. Chat, but how much key information can be chatted at the wine table?

"It's all about bragging." Qi Mei shrugged.

"I recorded it, and I can listen to it when I go back. Hmm... these people live in the Xiaozhuxuan Hotel on Dadong Road, and they should all be together. They have already learned some information about the car accident during the day, and it seems that someone used some means to track it down Yes, but didn't mention what it was. What a free time..."

"Brother, this Taoism is also being updated. Don't you think that the spell is much easier to use than our yellow paper? In fact, sometimes it's good to accept this new thing, right? A few days ago, there was a man who used more than a dozen Playing an exorcism spell on your mobile phone to scare away a rumor of a wraith?”

"A crooked way." Lu Ping looked unhappy, "For example, using a spell, it only takes up a concealment and shortcut, and it is beneficial to use it in such sneaky places. But you don't realize that its function and power have a corresponding sacrifice. If I Even if the yellow paper talisman of the teacher's gate is broken by the Yin Ning ring in Miss Li's hand, it will not be for a moment. This is the difference."

"Okay. But brother, I'm serious, for someone like me who has no strength, it's understandable to borrow some tricks like this?" Qi Mei said again.

"I don't restrict you to use anything, but you don't use it in evil ways." Lu Ping said seriously.

"Okay, I listen to you."

At this time, those people in Lu Ning's earphones began to get a little drunk, and some words came out unconsciously.

"The dead man during the day should be put into the coffin at night, right? Bai Li should be counted only if he goes into the coffin that day?"

"Where is the coffin now? It was taken away by police cars and ambulances... in the morgue?"

"The forensic doctor..."

"What about forensics? It's not murder, traffic accidents, the dead should be in the morgue waiting for their families to claim them? Is there a coffin there?"

"There is no coffin, but there is a freezer. The place where the hospital puts the corpse, if there is no refrigeration method, it will stink, hehe..."

"In other words, the location of Bai Li must be in the hospital? Well, the mortuary in the hospital is too dark."

"I'm afraid... what, hiccup, our group of old men, light Yang Qi can wash away the ghost energy there! Hahahaha..."

Lu Ning sighed: "They seem to judge that the body was placed in the hospital morgue."

"But it hasn't been ruled out that other people died today, right? How can we say that Zaoyuanzhuang is quite big now, and Bai Li's target choice is somewhat leeway." Qi Mei remembered some of Bai Li's requests, "What if it's not this corpse? Woolen cloth?"

"Aside from this, there are no other accident records in the news, except for some undiscovered deaths." Yan Zidan has also gradually integrated into this atmosphere, helping to investigate some things.

"They're almost drunk..."

click.

As soon as the door opened, Lu Ning's words were interrupted, and the waiter brought in a plate of fried pork with garlic sprouts that Qi Mei had ordered just now.But when everyone looked up, they found that they were old acquaintances... no, old acquaintances.

"Those little Taoist priests are really noisy, aren't they?" "Yan Guan Liu Lu" put down the dish and said with a smile.

"Why is it you? Last time you were not in this restaurant." Lu Ning said with a frown.

"I can be in any restaurant, or any place I want to see. If I don't take the initiative, you won't even be able to recognize me, little girl, unless you can touch me." Yan Guan Liulu headed towards Lu Ning Turning around, "I didn't have to be here at first, who made more than 20 Taoist priests swarm here suddenly? Then I can only come out and keep an eye on it."

"There are only about ten people outside," Lu Ping said.

"It's not just this group of people. What kind of story did Bai Li suddenly spread outside? We don't want to attract so much attention." Yan Guanliulu said complainingly, "It's all for you, if these people go on a rampage , shall we control or not?"

"It makes you sound like a landlord here." Lu Ping snorted.
