Chapter 10

I met and saw some business dealings with the Vatican more than once. After taking out a cigarette in the camouflage uniform, I handed me one, and then ignited the lighter.

With the other party's fire, I lit a cigarette and took a sip

Business dealings? Didn’t you make a loan? Will the Pope borrow money from you? The kindness released by the camouflage server at this moment made me temporarily let go of my hostility towards him, but I still couldn’t help but tease him.

Nowadays, business people like to build big flags and make tiger skins

Find some celebrities to take photos or get in touch with each other, naturally, the purpose is to increase your value

Therefore, I can understand what the camouflage uniform said at this moment, but in my opinion, his statement is OK to deceive ordinary people. I am a reporter, and I have seen a lot of these things.

I don't believe he really has any actual connection with anyone in the Vatican. In my opinion, this photo probably is because this guy is lucky. When he was traveling to Rome, he happened to have a special day in the Holy See, so he was lucky enough to have a photo with the Pope.

Of course it's not about borrowing money. The Vatican has to send me money every year. Sometimes they need me to help them with some trouble. The camouflage uniforms don't seem to notice the ridicule in my language. After lighting a cigarette for me, I lit one and started smoking it.

What trouble does the Vatican need to deal with? The expression and tone of the camouflage uniform are extremely natural, which makes me feel unexpected

If what he said was not the truth, then the psychological quality he showed was really good at this moment.

I have come into contact with a lot of liars, but like him, he can say something impossible without changing his face and not beating his heart. In my impression, it is really rare.

Not only the Vatican, most religious institutions in the world have more or less engaged with me in some business dealings. The only thing that has not been in contact with me until now is Judaism. Israel has a small land area. Since its founding, it has not been a big trouble. Their own professionals are enough to deal with it. So I am dispensable to them. The camouflage uniform speaks casually. While saying it, he signaled me to sit back on the reception sofa, and he also sat on the side of me.

Realizing my suspicion, he explained calmly

Credit loans are just my apparent business. After all, I also have to eat and live, and I need a normal source of income. Some of my friends and I are actually doing business similar to mercenaries.

Mercenary? No wonder... I saw you wearing camouflage clothes twice... I nodded and asked

That is Wang Lie’s name on the business card really your real name?

Haha... I have used pseudonyms after I have been hired to go abroad, but in China, I have no need to use fake names. I am always law-abiding and abide by the law. I am an absolute good citizen! Camouflage uniforms or Wang Lie gave me a positive answer

Good Min? I remember you punched me for no reason... I stared at the other person with my eyes slanted

Are you still quite revenge? Okay... There must be troubles when you occasionally find a gap. But did you not have the idea of ​​attacking me at that time? I just gave you a warning... It is better to start first! Wang Lie curled his lips and said disapprovingly.

Hearing Wang Lie say this, I showed an embarrassing expression

The moment I saw the other person appear in the hot pot restaurant, I did have the idea of ​​using violence to control the other person.

It's just that the sudden physical discomfort made me lose the opportunity to take the initiative

Now that Wang Lie said this, I feel like I've been seen through

OK...you're right now I don't plan to get involved with him in the question of the punch in my stomach, but instead shifted the topic to the question I want to know more

What did you mean when you appeared in the hospital that night? Also, what happened when you deliberately left our editorial department magazine? And you also followed me! After I fainted in my hometown, did you carry me to the town health center? You and I shouldn't know each other before? How did you come to me? What's the purpose? Wang Lie was smoking while calmly waiting for me to throw this series of questions in front of him.

After I finished speaking, Wang Lie did not answer my question head-on, but turned around and walked to the bookshelf in the office, took out a book and magazine in front of me.

When I saw it, it was another magazine from the editorial department!

I said how many Ah books did you buy? This is what my editorial department of fashion magazines was published. Even I think this thing is garbage... At this moment, I felt annoyed when I saw this magazine and couldn't help but mutter.

I have no interest in fashion... The reason why I went to find you was just the photo on the color page you made. Wang Lie reached out and opened the magazine and froze it on the outdoor sports page I made.

Where did you get these photos?

The reason you looked for me is for these photos? I was stunned and shook my head

The photos were not taken by me. These photos were taken by a comrade-in-arms when he was on an adventure trip to the Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon. I just wanted to do a page of outdoor sports related color pages, so I used the photos he took.

Then where are you, a comrade-in-arms, now? Can I see him? Wang Lie showed a very sincere expression

When Wang Lie mentioned Lu Zhihang, I immediately felt sad.

Sorry, he died after giving me a photo. I was just doing his funeral with other comrades. Ah? Haven’t you been following me and observing me? Don’t you know what I am doing? And... You call me a survivor in the hospital, and you also say contamination... Wang Lie became more and more excited when he heard me speak, and quickly reached out to stop my incoherence.

Then my fingers hit the coffee table, as if thinking about something

I didn't know what he was doing, so I managed to hold back and stared at him silently...

After thinking for a while, Wang Lie seemed to have made some decision and straightened up

As expected, it seems that I would tell you clearly that some things may be better. After saying that, Wang Lie turned around and made two cups of tea at the water dispenser, took them back to the seat, handed me a cup and started his story.

I went to the hospital to find you that night just for the photos you posted in the magazine. As for the reasons, I will give you a detailed explanation later, but when I saw you, I was surprised! Because in my opinion, you should be a dead person...

Dead? When I heard this, I immediately felt dissatisfied

Just when I want to make a statement immediately

Wang Lie stopped me again

Listen to me! When I saw me shut up, Wang Lie continued to say

To be honest! I have some abilities that ordinary people do not have. I think you should have noticed, right? Hearing Wang Lie say this, I remembered the blue light that flashed in Wang Lie's eyes that night, and then nodded

What is my ability? It is difficult for me to explain it to you now. But when I see you, you feel that only those who have died will have it. But I also confirm that you are indeed a living person. This situation is rare, but there have been people like you in the past. My friends and I generally call survivors. In addition, where did you get the news of your hospitalization? Where did you get the ward number from your editorial department? Wang Lie Kankan said that, and also explained why he was able to find me in the hospital and sneak into my ward that night.

Survivors have two different situations: one is like you, not being polluted. In other words, overall, you are still an ordinary normal person, while the other is polluted... The polluted survivor is very dangerous for me and the world. If necessary, I will get rid of this potential threat as soon as possible... At this moment, I obviously felt a murderous aura from Wang Lie's eyes.

But it is obvious that you belong to the former, so I did not do it, but left a magazine in your room. I guess you should guess that the reason why I went to find you was related to the photos published in the magazine. I decided to follow you later to determine the source of the photos. Therefore, I secretly followed you to your hometown, Qingyuan Town. But to my surprise, in Qingyuan Town, I couldn't find clues about the origin of those photos. Instead, I accidentally found things about you and your family. When I rushed to your doorstep, I happened to meet you fainted and the old man asked me for help, so I helped him carry you to the town health center.

Originally, I planned to help you solve the problem of your old house, but when I sent you to the health center and returned to your old house, I found that someone had cleaned the house first. When Wang Lie said this, I immediately remembered the amazing scene I saw in my ancestral home that day.

He quickly interrupted and asked

Can you tell that there is something wrong with my old house? Wang Lie did not feel dissatisfied with my sudden interruption at this moment.

Instead, he nodded calmly

Then can you tell me what the Yin Demon is and what else is the Sun? I quickly continued to ask

Yin Demon? Turning to the Yang Land? Wang Lie looked at me in surprise

Do you even know this? No... You should just hear these terms from other people, right? I nodded quickly

Wang Lie's mouth slightly raised

I will explain what you want to know later. But before this, I still want you to tell me what is your comrade-in-arms who took these photos now? You said he was dead, how did he die? Because after returning from Qingyuan Town, although I have been following you, you seem to have never dealt with any matters related to the photos except to help others with funerals... No, is it that the person who handled the funeral was the comrade-in-arms who took the photos? Wang Lie just showed his reaction at this moment

Nodded when you see me

Wang Lie immediately took out a pen and paper from his desk, and drew eight dots on the paper with a pen in front of me. The eight dots formed a circle again.

Asked anxiously

Do you have such wounds on your body after your death? And there are all in front and back? I stared at the figures drawn by Wang Lie in a daze, then took out my cell phone without saying a word, and then displayed the photos of the wounds on Lu Zhihang's body I took in front of Wang Lie.

I only took the front of it. After all, I was my comrade-in-arms. Although I was dead, I couldn't bear to turn over his body. So, I didn't look at it. I explained.

Wang Lie stared at the photos on my phone for a long time, then suddenly raised his head and sighed.

Then he shook his head and said

It's really hard to guard against Ah! After all, some people can't resist the temptation... I looked at Wang Lie for no reason, I really don't know what he meant at this moment

Wang Lie lowered his head and said lightly when he saw me confused.

Your comrade-in-arms have been treated as a sacrifice! And I guess the ceremony has been completed, it seems that we guys are going to be busy next!

Sacrifice? Ceremony? I stared at Wang Lie blankly, not understanding what he was saying

Wang Lie seems to see my doubts

He actually reached out and patted my shoulder and said

Now you don’t have to think so much! Let me tell you, judging from the current situation, it is impossible for you to be out of it. What you have to do is cooperate with me and tell me everything you know otherwise there will be big trouble! Seeing Wang Lie’s serious expression at this moment, I was even more puzzled.

What big trouble? What does it have to do with me?

It's not just you or me. If you don't deal with it as soon as possible, many innocent people will die! Wang Lie said, standing up from the sofa

The police should have already investigated, right? I know you have a close relationship with the policeman named Wu Zhongjun. You should know some of the results of the investigation from him. Can you tell me if there are any suspects there? Hearing Wang Lie ask about this, I blinked and replied without thinking.

The police suspected that Lao Lu's lover Lin Meimei was the most likely murderer... Wang Lie immediately asked

Lao Lu? Is it your comrade-in-arms? Did he and Lin Meimei have children? Is he a son? Is the boy sixteen years old? I nodded instinctively

Wang Lie frowned at this moment

As expected, this is how we left... Let's go to find someone now. In this way, I was dragged out of the office by Wang Lie in a daze

On the way to the underground car park by elevator

Wang Lie asked me again about the date of Lu Zhihang's death

After getting the accurate answer from me, Wang Lie's originally nervous expression relaxed a little, muttering in his mouth.

Fortunately, it should be possible to handle it three months! I followed Wang Lie into the car and sat in the passenger seat, and then I realized it.

Do you want me to accompany you to find Lin Meimei now? Wang Lie nodded

What are you kidding? The police have been searching for several days but haven't found you and me now. No clues are everywhere like headless flies. What's the weird thing to find? I finally woke up at this moment and then wanted to open the door handle of the car.

This Wang Lie gave me a bit of a miracle at this moment. I wasn't so stupid that I accompanied him to drive on the street to find a female suspect who was wanted by the police.

Wang Lie grabbed my left arm

Who said there is no clue? Do you know the residence of your comrade? I nodded

Of course I know

Then now you lead the way, let's go to his house. Wang Lie looks at me seriously

I don't know why, but at this moment, Wang Lie's expression made me feel an indescribable sense of trust in him.

In a daze, I sat steadily in the passenger seat again, and pointed him at the road to Lu Zhihang's residence.

More than half an hour later

Wang Lie and I came to Lu Zhihang's residence, which was the scene of his death

At this moment, the police naturally had already cancelled the blockade of this place

The moment I went upstairs and saw the door of the residence, I was so scared that I leaned against the wall of the stairwell.

I saw endless blood seeping out of the room in the cracks of the anti-theft iron door...

Just as I was almost screaming, the scene in front of me suddenly disappeared

The door of the residence is closed

Everything before turned out to be just fantasy

However, Wang Lie beside him saw me losing his composure for a moment, and he showed a thoughtful expression when he looked at me.

I calmed down and pointed at the door

That's it. Wang Lie nodded, walked straight to the door, reached out and knocked on the door, but there was no reaction inside.

I also walked to Wang Lie's side at this moment and said

Lao Lu is gone. Lin Meimei is missing. When Lao Lu is cremated in the morning, I heard Lao Lu’s relatives say that it will take a few days before they come to clean up his relics. There is no one in the house now. Why don’t we come when his relatives come to clean up the room?

Wang Lie shook his head

It’s better if there is no one here. You don’t know the danger! The relatives of your comrades are all unrelated personnel. Don’t be involved if you can do it. After saying that, Wang Lie reached out and pressed the door lock. I saw him take a deep breath, and the door lock actually made a sound of stuck, stuck.

After the sound disappeared, Wang Lie reached out and pressed the door handle, and the security door was opened like this.

I widened my eyes and looked at Wang Lie incredibly

You, you... do you actually have this ability? Why don't you change your career and be a thief? Wang Lie didn't care about my teasing at this moment, he just said calmly

I told you that I have some abilities that ordinary people do not have. This is just one of them. As for changing careers... The thief's business is physical strength and technology, which is not as easy as you think. I just need to make money now. Signing a letter is much easier than a thief. My company has good performance. Can I use changing careers? As I said that, I pushed open the door and walked straight in.

I can only follow in

Seeing the familiar house furnishings, I couldn't help but feel sad again

I often came to Lu Zhihang's residence in the past, and from time to time I would come to drink and chat with Lu Zhihang.

During the last World Cup football match, Lu Zhihang and I watched the game together, and even stayed overnight.

The scenery is still the same at this moment, but Lao Lu and I are already separated by heaven and man.

Wang Lie will not have the same emotional fluctuations as I am now

As soon as he entered the room, he began to look around. When he found a photo frame of Lu Zhihang's family photo placed on the coffee table in the living room, he immediately walked over and picked it up.

After taking a look, I walked to my side, pointed to the person in the photo and confirmed to me.

Is this woman the missing Lin Meimei in the photo? I looked at the photo and nodded

In the photo, Lu Zhihang and Lin Meimei sat together, while their son Lu Song looked only eight or nine years old, with a naughty expression sitting cross-legged between his parents...

Seeing me nodding, Wang Lie opened the photo frame and put the photo into his suit pocket.

Then he continued to look around, and asked me while looking

Which woman's belongings do I need? Where can I find the accessories I often wear, such as necklaces, rings, bracelets, etc. If I don't have one, where can I find the close-fitting clothes?

I pointed to the innermost bedroom

That's where you want what you want in the master bedroom?

After hearing this, Wang Lie strode over

A few seconds later, he took a jade bracelet and walked out

This is placed on the bedside table, please take a look. Is it Lin Meimei?

I replied with a wry smile

I have seen Lin Meimei several times, but I have never noticed what jewelry and jewelry she wore. But since it was placed in the master bedroom of the couple, I think it would not be something other than Lin Meimei.

Hearing me say this, Wang Lie immediately took out a handkerchief, wrapped the jade bracelet and put it in his pocket.

Then he came over and pulled me toward the door

When he arrived at the door, Wang Lie suddenly turned around and pointed to the room behind him and said in surprise.

Look, what is that? I turned around and looked back. When I turned around, I saw that the whole room was covered with blood. Just when I didn't know what happened, blood tide rushed towards me. I couldn't help but retreat, not wanting my heel to be tripped by the threshold at the entrance. I sat on the ground in the corridor

Just when I thought I was about to be swallowed by a blood tide, the pain from the fall stimulating my mind and making me wake up

The blood tide in front of him disappeared in an instant...

I sat on the ground, gasping for breath, realizing that everything I had just been an illusion

Wang Lie next to him suddenly squatted down and put his mouth in my ear and said,

You can see it... I overtested my head and stared at Wang Lie with my eyes wide open.

I suddenly realized that his behavior was intentional

What did you say? A strange smile appeared on Wang Lie's face, and he reached out and patted me on the shoulder and said.

If I can see it, then I will probably change my name to you and call you brother! After that, I ignored my reaction, stood up and closed the door with my backhand.

Let's hurry up. Although it takes at least three months for the blood demon to form, the longer the time is, the less easy it is to deal with it. If you can deal with it as soon as possible, you can do it as soon as possible. Wang Lie said, walking straight downstairs.

I got up from the ground in a panic and followed me

When I arrived at the community parking lot, got in the car, Wang Lie handed me a cigarette

Whether it was the terrifying blood that I saw at Lao Lu’s residence or the almost burglary of Wang Lie and I, I was a little shocked at this moment.

After taking it, I took a sip and felt a little relieved

Wang Lie suddenly asked

What did you do with that old man in your old house when you go back to Qingyuan Town? Can you tell me? I was a little surprised when I heard Wang Lie suddenly ask what happened in my old house.

But I thought it wasn't a shameful thing, so I told him truthfully

But I didn't expect that after Wang Lie finished listening, he immediately asked about the styles of the four talismans.

Are you saying that the treasure seal of Taoist scriptures is not the common type of Taoist scripture master on the talisman paper? And the head of the talisman is opened with the four-syllable pattern?

I spitted a mouthful of smoke rings and said

The old man Lin who went to the old house with me was the one who specialized in our town to handle funerals. He told me clearly that he had seen many Taoist talismans in his life, but that talisman was a style he had never seen before.

When Wang Lie heard this, he said solemnly

It is normal for him to have never seen it. If I guess correctly, the four talismans should be the rumored Four Symbol Golden Light Talisman Formation. This talisman formation has been lost in most of the major Taoist sects today because this formation is unique to the ancient Taiping Taoist!

Taiping Dao? Are you referring to the Taiping Dao founded by Zhang Jiao, who launched the Yellow Turban Uprising in the late Han Dynasty? I was shocked when I heard Wang Lie say this!

I am not unfamiliar with the development and inheritance of Taoism.

The current Taoist subjects were actually formed based on the Five Dogs of Rice Sect in history

The Zhang family, who founded the Five Dok Rice Sect, received the title of Tianshi by rulers of all dynasties and was therefore also known as Tianshi Taoism.

The Zhengyi Dao, which has the largest number of people and the widest influence, comes from this and is also considered to be authentic Taoism!

In addition to Zhengyidao, it is Quanzhendao founded by Wang Chongyang of the Southern Song Dynasty.

Almost all Taoist schools circulating now are branches of these two sects

The Taiping Road, which once changed the direction of China's politics, has actually long been destroyed in the long river of history.

Are you kidding? How could there be Taoist priests practicing Taiping Dao now? Thinking of this, I shook my head repeatedly

You don't understand what I mean, I just said that the Four Symbol Golden Light Talisman array is a unique Taoist technique in Taiping Dao. There are still people practicing Taiping Dao Ah! Even if people nowadays want to practice, the book Taipingqing Leading Dao has long been lost. Without classics, they can't practice even if they want to practice. Wang Lie explained further to me.

Although Taiping Dao has been lost, some of the Taoist techniques and Taoist techniques in Taiping Dao have been passed down. Have you heard of the man named Zu Rong?

Zhu Rong? I think about it... By the way, I have a little impression that this person should be a separatist warlord in the late Han Dynasty, right? Like the Lu Bu in history, he is known for his capriciousness, but this person is quite important in the history of Chinese Buddhism. It is said that he is an extremely devout Buddhist believer and played an important role in the spread of early Buddhism in China. I searched the information about Zhu Rong in my mind and said what I knew.

Wang Lie looked at me in surprise, and then gave me a thumbs up!

Awesome... It turns out that this guy is very knowledgeable! For people today, this guy is very well-known compared to those famous figures in the late Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period. You can even say something about it. However, what you know is just the content recorded in history. This Su Rong respects Buddhism on the surface, but in fact he believes in Taiping Taoism.

How is this possible? If he was a Taiping Taoist believer, why didn’t Zhang Jiao join the Yellow Turban Army when the rebellion? Wait... By the way, he was Tao Qian’s subordinate Tao Qian occupied Xuzhou because he suppressed the local Yellow Turban Uprising in Xuzhou. Could it be that this Su Rong was the Yellow Turban Army recruited by Tao Qian? At this moment, I suddenly understood

Smart, I finally understood! This Su Rong was also a member of the Yellow Turban Army at the beginning, but he was very cunning. When Tao Qian came to Xuzhou to suppress the Yellow Turban Uprising, he immediately turned to Tao Qian. He became Tao Qian's subordinate. After the Yellow Turban Uprising was suppressed, he actually still believed in Taiping Tao, but he did not dare to blatantly disclose that his beliefs were about to be made public, which was against the central government, so he came to sell dog meat! At that time, Buddhism had just been introduced to China, and most people didn't know what Buddhism was about, so he secretly believed and practiced his Taiping Tao. However, this guy believed in and practiced Taiping Tao, but the purpose of practicing Taiping Tao was different from that of a great wise and a good teacher! The great wise and a good teacher practiced Taoism in order to get rid of the old and create the new, and changed the dynasty. This guy practiced Taoism in hopes that he could live forever!

Wang Lie said here, lit a cigarette for himself, took a sip, and then said, however, he later discovered that the original intention of the great wise teacher Taipingdao was to save the world and save the people! What he longed for was nothing the same as the things he wanted, and he began to secretly collect and organize various Taoist techniques and Taoisms circulated among Taipingdao believers in various places. The result really made him tinker with a kind of left-minded evil technique, which used this evil technique. Although he could not live forever, he could extend his life, Tao Qian was not a fool. In the end, he discovered the small actions he had made in private.

He was afraid that Tao Qian would deal with him, so he immediately fled to Guangling with his subordinates with his subordinates.

In Guangling, he used the left-ministered evil magic he created to sacrifice to Zhao Yu, the then governor of Guangling County, and looted Guangling County.

Then he ran to Mòling and then sacrificed blood to Xue Li from Mòling

He then surrendered to Liu Yao, the governor of Yangzhou at that time.

Liu Yao didn't know what he did at first, so he took him in

Let him lead his troops to assist Zhu Hao of Yuzhang to attack Liu Biao of Jingzhou

After this guy arrived in Yuzhang, he was also in a state of consecration and sacrificed Zhu Hao blood in the same way!

But at this time his good luck ended.

Liu Yao did not let him go after receiving the news. He led his troops to retaliate against him. He originally wanted to continue to surrender to Liu Biao, but Liu Biao also saw through his capricious nature and refused to surrender to him. This guy was a charlatan, but he had no ability in fighting. In just two moves, Liu Yao took him into the deep mountains alone and fell into the hands of the Shanyue tribe at that time. The Shanyue tribe finally killed him. He gave his head to Liu Yao. When he ran away, he took away all kinds of Taoist techniques and Taoist techniques he collected and sorted out. After his death, these hard-working Taoist techniques finally fell into the hands of the Shanyue tribe and began to spread among the Shanyue tribe.

What do you mean is that the Four Symbol Golden Light Talisman array was passed down from the Shanyue tribe at that time? Wang Lie said here, I finally understand why this unique Taoist technique of Taiping Tao appears now.

It can be said that! With your knowledge, you should be clear about the migration and evolution of the Shanyue tribe in history. These Taiping Taoist Taoist techniques have been circulated among ethnic minorities in various parts of the south since then. Many of them have changed their taste after being passed down. The so-called head-suppressing techniques and witchcraft in the south are actually from the Taoist techniques of Taiping Taoism. Wang Lie vomited a mouthful of smoke rings, and his tone was quite emotional.
