Chapter 70: In Baishui Town, the Seven Elders of the Republic of China Gather! (Please Subscribe)
A mysterious world is reviving.
The town of Baishui is a place of supernatural occurrences.
Baishui Town is small and not well-known. It is named Baishui Town because it is built along the water and the water is clear.
This small town looks somewhat modern, with a style reminiscent of the 1980s and 90s. Though small, it has everything you need: a primary school, a clinic, shops, residential buildings, and more.
Unlike other places, the sky over Baishui Town is always dark and oppressive, with the entire town shrouded in thick clouds, like an airtight lid covering the whole town.
Outside the town, the sun shone brightly, but inside, it was raining incessantly, and even the temperature varied greatly.
The town of Baishui was shrouded in rain, and the air was filled with a damp chill that carried an inexplicable cold. Ordinary people living in this climate would shiver even if they were wearing thick cotton-padded coats.
The strangest thing is that the rain in Baishui Town feels very unreal; the endless raindrops disappear quickly before they even hit the ground.
It doesn't evaporate; it simply vanishes into thin air.
In the misty drizzle, two elderly figures seemed to appear out of thin air on the streets of Baishui Town. One of them pointed to a relatively modern residential building on one side of the street and couldn't help but marvel.
"Wow, Baishui Town has changed a lot in the few years I've been here!"
"Hey, keeping up with the times, huh? I heard that guy Li Qingzhi built a huge restaurant outside, and even gave it a fancy name, something like Caesar Hotel. He's made a lot of money!"
An old man wearing black magic glasses and holding a blind man's cane chuckled.
"Hehe, for us old guys, money is something you can't take with you when you die. What's the use of earning so much? Enough to eat and drink is enough."
Beside the blind old man, a gaunt old man wearing a black jumpsuit said indifferently.
After saying that, he seemed to have thought of something and asked with some curiosity, "By the way, Boss Zhang has been making quite a few moves over the years. Do you think he called us here this time for something?"
"You ask me, who should I ask?"
The blind old man looked speechless and said irritably, "If you, Luo Wensong, really want to know, why don't you just ask Boss Zhang? What's the use of asking this blind old man?"
"I thought that since you live relatively close to Zhang Laoda's Baishui Town, you should know something about him."
The blind old man rolled his eyes, pointed in the direction of the post office in Baishui Town, and said coldly, "Heh, even if where I live is close to Baishui Town, it's not as close as your post office, Luo Wensong. Don't tell me you, Luo Wensong, didn't set up a post office liaison point in Baishui Town."
He is indeed blind, but that doesn't mean he can't see the post office on the main street in Baishui Town.
"Slip of the tongue, slip of the tongue, Brother Zhang, please don't mind it!"
Seeing that his old friend was a little angry, Luo Wensong immediately apologized, saying, "Let's hurry to the Zhang residence, lest we keep Boss Zhang waiting!"
"Hmph, let's go!"
The blind old man knew this was not the time to argue with Luo Wensong, so he snorted coldly, leaned on his cane, and walked towards the center of Baishui Town.
Due to the continuous rain, the air quality in Baishui Town was poor, with a heavy mist filling the air. This mist carried a musty smell, making people feel somewhat uncomfortable.
It's obvious that it's been raining here for a long time.
tread, tread, tread...
The two walked on the streets of Baishui Town, where it was completely silent except for the echo of their own footsteps.
Unlike the semi-modern towns on the outskirts of Baishui Town, the closer you get to the center of Baishui Town, the older the architectural style becomes.
Especially in the core area of Baishui Town, rows of ancient houses stand there, as if stepping back into the Republican era.
The small courtyards are connected to each other, seemingly independent, but in fact they form a whole.
Deep within these interconnected courtyards lies an ancient mansion hidden in the deep forest.
Crash.
A strong wind was blowing through the forest.
The wind rustled the leaves.
Luo Wensong and his companion walked along a secluded path in the forest, their eyes fixed on the ancient trees.
On the trunk of each tree, there was an old man's face.
On the leaves were the faces of a young man and woman, looking at the two with fear, as if they had been disturbed.
After passing through the woods, the two stopped and looked toward the entrance of the old house.
There, a middle-aged man in a Zhongshan suit was waiting.
Upon seeing Luo Wensong and his companion, the man greeted them respectfully, "Uncle Zhang, Uncle Luo!"
"It's Xiao Xianguang!"
Upon seeing the middle-aged man, Luo Wensong's face softened into a kind expression, and he asked with a smile, "When did you get back?"
"Uncle Luo, I just got back not long ago!"
"Yes, now that you're back, spend more time with your dad. Although it's nice abroad, it's not really home."
"Uncle Luo is right, that's what I think too!"
Zhang Xianguang did not refute, but spoke respectfully.
Upon hearing Zhang Xianguang's reply, the blind old man standing nearby couldn't help but smile, saying with satisfaction, "It should have been done a long time ago. What's so great about foreign countries? Nothing compares to home. You're our only child, why aren't you here to take care of your parents? What are you doing running around outside all day?"
Unlike Luo Wensong, Zhang Bohua had a more traditional mindset and had long disapproved of Zhang Xianguang's constant travels abroad.
Seeing Zhang Xianguang turn over a new leaf, he was naturally overjoyed.
"Uncle Zhang is right; I was wrong before!"
Zhang Xianguang said with a smile, and while speaking, he did not forget to lead the two into the courtyard, and said apologetically, "Uncle Zhang, Uncle Luo, please come in and have a cup of tea. Aunt Meng and Uncle Li have not arrived yet, I will wait here for a while."
"Xiao Meng and Lao Li are here too?"
Luo Wensong was taken aback upon hearing this, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.
Zhang Xianguang truthfully replied, "According to my father, not only will Aunt Meng and Uncle Li be coming, but Uncle Luo will also be coming, and Uncle Qin has also come all the way from Dajing City. He's resting inside right now."
"That's great! It's been years since we old folks got together. This is a rare opportunity to gather together, so we must have a good drink!"
Zhang Bohua said with a smile, "Alright, you wait here for a while, Lao Luo and I will go in first!"
After saying that, he and Luo Wensong walked into the secluded old house.
Only Zhang Xianguang remained, waiting at the entrance of the old house!
……
Shortly after.
The main hall of the Zhang Family Old House!
Once all the guests had arrived, Zhang Dong, as the host, sat upright in a grand chair, with his son Zhang Xianguang standing behind him, hands at his sides, carefully attending to him.
In front of him sat seven people: five men and two women.
"Boss Zhang, everyone's here, so just say what's on your mind!"
Once everyone had arrived, a tall and exceptionally robust old man spoke in a deep voice, voicing the question that had been on everyone's mind.
Sitting at the head of the table, Zhang Dong, whose face looked somewhat aged, glanced around at everyone and said in a deep voice, "This time, I have called you all here because there is something I want to discuss with you."
"If there's anything you need, just let us know. As long as it's within our capabilities, we certainly won't refuse!"
The speaker was a beautiful young woman in a cheongsam, seemingly smiling and cheerful. However, upon closer inspection, one would notice that her smile was somewhat stiff, as if it were the work of a puppet. "That's right, Boss Zhang, if you need anything, just give the order. If we can do it, we certainly won't refuse."
"Is there anything in this world that can stump Boss Zhang? Could it be that he has discovered some powerful and mysterious entity?"
"Brother Zhang, just tell me what's wrong."
"..."
The girl in the cheongsam spoke, and the others echoed her sentiments.
Because they knew Zhang Dong's power better than anyone else. He had reached the end of the road in controlling evil spirits, and no one was more powerful than him.
Even if the seven of them joined forces, they were far from being a match for Zhang Dong.
Now they hear Zhang Dong say he has something to discuss with them.
This made the seven people feel flattered.
Faced with the compliments from the crowd, Zhang Dong shook his head and said, "Brothers, don't be modest. In terms of controlling the supernatural, I may have gone further than you brothers."
"But in terms of life wisdom and solving the strange resurgence, he is far inferior to his brothers."
"I invited a few brothers and two sisters here today because there is something I'm not sure about and I want to discuss it with you to see if you can come up with a solution."
These words were not Zhang Dong's modesty.
But this is the case.
If it comes to combat strength and the ability to control the bizarre, Zhang Dong doesn't need to consult with anyone.
However, in terms of wisdom and strategy, even Zhang Dong had to admit that the people before him were all outstanding figures of their time.
"Old Li is a rough man. Boss Zhang, just tell me what's wrong. If I can help, I certainly won't refuse. But if I can't, then there's nothing I can do."
Li Qingzhi spoke in a deep voice, unwilling to drag the matter out any longer.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Dong's expression immediately became serious, and he said in a deep voice, "Alright, since Brother Li has said so, I won't hold back anymore."
"but."
At this point, Zhang Dong changed the subject and said in a cold voice, "However, before I actually speak, I will give everyone a choice."
"Because what I'm about to say is of great importance and is very dangerous."
"So if anyone doesn't want to participate in this, they can leave now, and I won't make things difficult for them. If they really want to withdraw after I've explained everything, then don't blame me, Zhang Dong, for not considering our brotherhood."
They attracted unfathomable immortals and gods from another world to resolve the strange resurgence of their own world.
This is a huge adventure, and there is no room for error.
Even though Zhang Dong had been planning this for over a decade, he still wasn't absolutely certain.
That's why he invited several other prominent figures from the Republican era to come and make a plan that would be as foolproof as possible.
This plan must be foolproof and cannot be leaked or sabotaged.
That's why Zhang Dong explained the matter in advance, giving others a chance to leave, since not everyone is willing to take such a risk.
Upon hearing this, Luo Wensong and the others all looked surprised and uncertain, wondering what Zhang Dong was planning to do.
However, even though some people felt uneasy, no one left.
Because they weren't stupid, they had already discerned another layer of meaning from Zhang Dong's previous words: Zhang Dong had new ideas and plans for resolving the matter of the strange resurgence.
This is not a strange thing.
After all, ever since the era of the bizarre resurgence in the Republic of China began, everyone has never given up on finding a feasible way to completely solve the bizarre resurgence.
Unfortunately, while these plans had some effect, they failed to achieve the results everyone wanted.
The man before me is the number one master of supernatural beings in the Republic of China era. He has reached the end of the road in controlling the supernatural, and no one is more powerful than him.
Therefore, everyone undoubtedly attaches great importance to Zhang Dong's plans and ideas.
It concerns a bizarre resurgence.
Even though everyone sensed unease, no one was willing to leave; they all wanted to stay and listen to Zhang Dong's thoughts and plans.
"Just tell me your plans and ideas, Boss Zhang."
"We're all old guys who're almost in our graves. If we can really solve the problem of the strange resurgence, what does it matter if we have to give up our lives?"
"In fact, let alone truly solving the resurgence of the supernatural, we would be willing to take a gamble even if it could only slightly delay the arrival of the era of supernatural resurgence."
Li Qingzhi spoke in a deep voice, his words revealing that he had already disregarded his own life and death.
Upon hearing this, the others nodded, and none of them chose to leave.
Upon seeing this, Zhang Dong nodded and said, "Since that's the case, then I'll just say it directly: I plan to bring immortals and gods from other worlds into our world."
Other worlds?
Fairy?
God?
Upon hearing this, everyone exchanged bewildered glances and looked at Zhang Dong with suspicion.
"Boss Zhang, do you mean that other worlds really exist? And that those worlds have immortals and gods?"
Luo Wensong asked hesitantly, his words full of doubt.
It wasn't that he didn't believe Zhang Dong's words, but rather that among the strange entities he controlled were knocking, opening, and closing door entities. Theoretically, he could use the power of these strange entities to open doors in all senses.
The doors mentioned here refer to all sorts of things, including doors to space, doors to time, doors to dreams, and even doors to the forehead.
If other worlds truly exist.
There's no reason he wouldn't feel it.
In fact, not only Luo Wensong doubted Zhang Dong's words, but others also had some doubts about the matter.
For example, Meng Xiaodong, who was also a powerful figure of the older generation in the Republic of China, controlled the strange creature and had the ability to invade infinitely. If other worlds existed, she felt that she would definitely be able to sense them.
So it's not that people don't believe Zhang Dong's words.
However, Zhang Dong's words were beyond their comprehension.
Zhang Dong said in a deep voice, "You don't need to doubt this. I have already communicated with them and I am certain that I can bring them into our world."
"However, I am not very clear about those people's methods and strength, so I am worried about letting wolves into the house!"
This is also what Zhang Dong is most worried about.
Although he has become the number one demon tamer in the mysterious world of resurgence.
However, when facing immortals and gods from other worlds, they cannot be as confident as when facing the monsters and strange beings of their own world.
Even though he had made many preparations.
There is still no absolute certainty.
This is also why he gathered his other old friends to discuss the matter, in order to pool everyone's wisdom and resources to make a comprehensive plan and reduce the occurrence of unexpected situations.
