Mechanical Pioneer Under One Person

But after more than half a minute, more and more immortal spirits gathered on the courtyard wall, but no one dared to enter the yard.

This situation made Gao Lian break out in cold sweat, and he subconsciously turned his gaze to the old lady who was very low-key today - Guan Shihua, the Tenth Lord.

Guan Shihua seemed to have expected this and did not say anything. He simply made a gesture, indicating Gao Lian to continue.

Seeing the old lady's actions, Gao Liancai, who was still burning incense, felt relieved and continued to call upon the immortals enshrined in the hall.

This method of summoning spirits lasted for another ten minutes. When the number of immortal spirits floating on the courtyard wall obviously exceeded the number worshipped by the Gao family, the guests present realized that something was wrong and started to talk about it.

However, the expressions of the more than ten extraordinary masters who practiced the art of horse immortality had changed long ago, with cold sweat pouring down their foreheads. Only the old lady Guan Shihua looked quite calm.

Chapter 157 Respect

In this world, there are indeed significant differences between extraordinary people and ordinary people.

Among the group of extraordinary people, they can be artificially classified according to their abilities, skills, and innate or acquired qualities.

But even among this numerous "types" of aliens, the [Witch] is definitely a very special one.

Compared with any ordinary skills or strange magic, the witch's methods are all based on the same principles, which are nothing more than controlling the soul.

The Chu Ma Xian sect of Northeastern Shamanism is essentially a type of witch. However, unlike ordinary witches who control human spirits to possess their bodies, Chu Ma Xian use animal spirits to possess their bodies.

Of course, just like Xue Pan from Quan Xing who was covered in corpse energy, the spirit mediums also passively gained some "special abilities" because they summoned the immortals.

These immortals who have been using secret methods to cover their souls for years have inevitably made the "vision" of the disciples who go out to perform rituals more mysterious and their perception ability stronger.

However, the perception provided by this "vision" is not as sharp as the legendary Yin-Yang eyes, and when used to see those supernatural things, it is not very clear. However, if used to observe the movements and postures of those immortals, it is very unique.

Therefore, it is not difficult to understand why the faces of the disciples at the banquet were so grim. The reason was that the immortals they worshipped were floating on the wall and were reluctant to fall, which made the disciples sitting at the table feel extremely stressed.

Furthermore, the immortals were all quite restless. This state made the disciples who were sent out to perform rituals feel like they were on the eve of a storm, and they were all uncomfortable.

……

During the banquet, Deng Youcai felt a chill and oppression all over his body. After a while, he could no longer endure it, so he formed a seal with his right hand and used a secret method to ask the two immortals on the courtyard wall, who were worshipped by his family.

"Uncle Kunsheng, Aunt Yinhua, what's going on? Why are there so many of you here today, but you're just staring at the wall instead of coming down to eat?"

After a while, Deng Youcai heard the Changbai Mountain snake spirit, Liu Kunsheng, snort coldly at him through secret methods, but did not answer.

And the gray mouse creature, Gray Silver Flower, slowly said, "Eat a feast? Forget about the two of us. Who can eat today? I'm afraid we can only watch."

"Forget about eating. I think even those with the highest status wouldn't dare to go down."

Deng Youcai was stunned by this answer. Just as he was about to continue asking, he saw a strange phenomenon in the sky.

Suddenly, a strong wind blew up from the cloudless sky, and large clouds were visible to the naked eye flying from a distant place at high speed. After the clouds gathered from all directions, they finally stopped above the banquet.

As Gao Lian, who was summoning the spirit, turned the seal and moved, the gathered and rolled clouds stretched out a "branch" like a "dragon sucking water", causing five streams of clear air to fall down.

The clear air was condensed and transparent, containing talismans and golden light. It came to the front and back of Gao Lian's altar, but did not care about the livestock and grains. Instead, it hung there.

When these five streams of pure energy settled down, the spirit beasts at the table seemed to have been poisoned and silenced. They could not make any sound and could only shed cold sweat.

The reason for this attitude is very simple. This group of disciples who went out to perform rituals knew who the five clear auras were.

And just as Deng Youcai was also speechless from shock, he heard his 'Uncle Kunsheng' speaking to him in a secret way: "Greenhorn, do you know the reason?"

As Liu Kunsheng passed some Qi to Deng Youcai through the air, he finally came to his senses.

Deng Youcai took a few deep breaths, tapped his temples to stop the sweat from pouring down like a stream, and replied, "I know, I know. You two really can't handle such a scene."

"Haha...haha, how did Uncle Gao manage to gather all those people who went to heaven..."

“Even people from Laoshan and Tieshashan came.”

……

Back to Gao Lianlai, at this moment, he was also confused.

Chu Ma Xian'er's skills in the alien world are quite impressive. After inviting a spirit to possess her, her physical fitness will be greatly enhanced. Not only that, she will also gain spells corresponding to the invited [Immortal Family].

Therefore, inviting and summoning spirits can be said to be the forte of the spirit mediums, and there is a fixed set of "rules and regulations". People like Gao Lian who have practiced this technique for twenty or thirty years will not make mistakes when casting spells.

But precisely because of his confidence in his own methods and techniques, Gao Lian felt surprised. He wondered what had happened today that allowed him to summon down those top-level heavenly [immortals] who he usually ignored.

However, even though it was somewhat beyond his expectations, Gao Lian, as a veteran spirit medium, still had the most basic "professional qualities". Since he had already called the spirits down, he should go on with the family banquet ceremony no matter what.

Gao Lian glanced at the pure air in front of him, threw out five incense sticks, lit them by shaking them, and then communicated with the five pure airs in the animal language of [above] with respect.

However, after receiving the blessing words, the five pure airs did not react at all. They just looked at Liu Ke's table for a moment, gently stroked Gao Lian's face and body with the pure air, and then went straight back to the sky.

As for the livestock and grains purchased by the Gao family, seeing that these "props" still had vitality, it can be known that the five immortals probably didn't "eat" any of them.

……

"Everyone, let's eat!"

After sending the immortal away, Gao Lian, who had been using the spirit summoning technique for a long time, was obviously much more depressed. However, he still frowned, stood up, and asked the guests to eat while it was hot.

Or maybe they were really hungry. Even though they could see that there were some problems with the Gao family dinner today, the strangers present still picked up their chopsticks.

Even those disciples who had been quite silent before began to eat fish and meat. Of course, unlike other extraordinary people, they had seen some tricks.

The five immortals, transformed into pure energy, did indeed descend from the altar. However, they did not follow Gao Lian's words of blessing and offer "blessings" to anyone.

However, judging from their intention before leaving, it was not because they were angry or disrespectful, but because they could not do it.

As for why it couldn't be done, no one knew. Of course, maybe that old lady Guan Shihua would have some clues, but apart from Gao Lian, who would bother to ask the "Ten Lords" about something that had nothing to do with them?

……

Back to Liu Ke, the little leader of the "science side", has become more curious about the methods of aliens since he saw the devouring sac of Village Chief Ma.

Therefore, he has been watching carefully since Gao Lian started performing the ritual.

However, he is not a wizard, and he cannot understand the secrets of the "Summoning Spirits" method at all.

From Liu Ke's perspective, he saw "Uncle Gao" busying himself with his mysterious voice for a while, and then five human figures descended, but in the blink of an eye, the figures disappeared again. Then, "Uncle Gao" opened his mouth and called everyone present to the feast.

The table was set, and according to the procedure Erzhuang had mentioned, Liu Ke knew that today's horse-riding performance would be unremarkable. He and the prosthetic girl Gao Yushan beside him exchanged a glance, then each picked up their chopsticks and spoons and began to eat.

------

In the final analysis, this banquet was just as Gao Yushan said, except that the immortals were invited to "show support", it was no different from an ordinary banquet.

When the family dinner was almost over, Liu Ke discussed it with Gao Yushan and decided to go out for a stroll.

However, it is worth mentioning that Liu Ke decided to go out directly after dinner for other reasons.

In his opinion, after this banquet, 'Uncle Gao' seemed to have become more... [respectful] towards him.

Yes, it was a very wonderful feeling. He also wanted to use other words to replace the word "respectful", but after searching for a long time, he couldn't find any suitable words.

Therefore, this feeling and atmosphere of [respect] made him feel uncomfortable all over, so he finally decided to go out for a walk.

Actually, this wasn't hard to understand. After all, his relationship with Gao Yushan... with Uncle Gao's experience and perspective, he could probably see it.

Normally, Uncle Gao's gaze could be one of scrutiny, appreciation, satisfaction, or even disdain, as that's generally how a father-in-law views his son-in-law. But this... 'respect' was too strange.

"Why does this atmosphere make me feel like... a general from the north of Korea?"

Thinking of this, Liu Ke found a deserted place, projected a Delaman special car, and took himself and Er Zhuang to another place.

……

The two of them just started strolling around CC City. They thought it was a good place and decided to stay there for a few more days.

After touring the city for three or four days and visiting the foot of Changbai Mountain, they decided to return home.

In the evening, after they both showered and ordered some cold drinks and food, Gao Yushan took the opportunity to ask, "Are we leaving tomorrow?"

After hearing this, Liu Ke took out the small yellow spherical venom capsule, played with it for a while, nodded, and said, "Well, let's go to Beijing to watch a concert first, and then go to that... Liupanshui."

Hearing the answer, Gao Yushan grumbled a dull "hmm," then shoved her spoon into her cold drink, losing all desire to eat. Finally, she leaned back onto the bed, pouting slightly, and remained silent.

Naturally, her state attracted Liu Ke's attention. After all, unlike her "sunny, cheerful" and even a bit "spicy" image on the Internet, Gao Yushan was a rather quiet person in reality.

No matter if they are calm or emotionally stable, it is extremely rare for such people to make expressions such as "pouting" or "lying down like a corpse", which will naturally attract attention.

Liu Ke was not a completely low EQ guy. Seeing her sighing with some worry, he asked directly, "What's wrong?"

Gao Yushan shook her head and said, "Nothing, it's just that the company may have to assign me a task in a few days, which is a bit annoying."

"I may not be able to go to that Biyou Village with you..."

After hearing this, Liu Ke was stunned and said "Oh".

After a few breaths, he said, "It's okay. Judging from Jin Yong's attitude, this newcomer is quite polite. It doesn't seem like he has any conspiracy. It's fine for me to go alone."

"If their leader and I don't get along, I'll go back to Tianjin. If the conversation goes well and you need to stay a while longer, you can come back to me after you finish your mission."

At this point, Liu Ke seemed to realize something and asked, "So, what task does the company want you to do? Are you going to be a... hacker?"

"If that's the case, can't I just do it for you remotely?"

Gao Yushan was also stunned for a moment after hearing this, then thought for a while, and then she let out a soft cry and replied: "You can do it... But, forget it, I'll meet up with you after I'm done."

After hearing this, Liu Ke asked doubtfully, "Is there a problem? If it's a hacker's job, wouldn't the result be the same no matter which of us does it?"

Gao Yushan nodded, then said, "That's true, but..."

"Well, do you know about the company's temporary worker system?"

……

Nadutong is indeed a "enterprise" with a state background, but just as the literal meaning of the word "enterprise", Nadutong is not a functional department, has no law enforcement power, and its management objects are limited to outsiders.

Therefore, in actual work, even with the help of other national departments, the company's employees are inevitably restricted and limited when doing their work.

However, this restriction eventually caused big trouble, forcing the company to find a way to solve the problem and give its own "restrictions" a reasonable key.

Finally, under the promotion of Mr. Xu Xiang, Nadutong developed the position of "temporary worker".

To put it more clearly, these temporary workers are "gray gloves" who can do everything, both dirty and dirty work.

Of course, the reason why gloves are called gloves is that if a temporary worker messes up something, the consequences will not be affected at all.

Correspondingly, the company will provide temporary workers with identity protection, identity confidentiality and generous financial support, but that's all.

Although the position of temporary worker seems to have many restrictions, when it comes to practice, it gives regional leaders a loophole with no taboos.

As a "mediator", such a "special post" that is easy to get out of control needs to be strictly controlled, and the company has only allocated one position to each region.

Gao Yushan is a temporary worker in the Northeast region.
