"Grandpa bless you!"
Uncle Ming placed the five sticks of incense respectfully in front of the altar and turned to look at Yin Xiu.
"So you and Miss Ma disappeared for a month and went to Kunlun?"
Yin Xiu nodded, "Didn't Yongtan and Liu Banxian tell you?"
Liu Banxian spread his hands, "I told you, Uncle Ming just doesn't believe it."
Uncle Ming handed over a bowl of talisman water, "It's not that I don't believe it, it's just that things are too bizarre. I'm afraid that if I believe it, I will become like Zhuowu and Fang Yin."
"Them? What happened to them?" Ma Xiaoyu asked curiously.
"crazy."
Luo Wei touched his chin, "Zhuowu and Fang Yin, when you two disappeared out of thin air in the Nine Stars, they both went crazy.
Now they are inmates in a mental hospital, pointing to the sky all day long and asking others if they have seen Kunlun.
It's really strange. Liu Banxian and I obviously saw the big disk that covered the sky and the sun, but these two people insisted that we couldn't see it. "
"Not surprisingly."
Yin Xiu scratched his head and thought for a while but still couldn't tell the necessary conditions for seeing Kunlun.
He just said: "But Kunlun is obviously a large steel city with large chimneys everywhere and driven by large external gears and levers. It is not a white jade plate."
"certainly not."
Ma Xiaoyu retorted: "Kunlun is obviously the shape of the Milky Way. The jade disk-sized moon hangs in the middle, surrounded by a sea of stars revolving around it."
"Why, shouldn't Kunlun Fairy Mountain be a very big mountain?"
Liu Banxian adjusted his sunglasses, "There must be many big houses on the mountain, palaces and pavilions, carved railings and pillars, and then there will be flying fairies, priests, nectar, jade liquid, and rare jewelry."
"Maybe Kunlun will be like this." Yin Xiu nodded.
Deviation is a deviation that varies from person to person.
If Liu Banxian also went to Kunlun, then Kunlun must be like this in his eyes, and the leading priest would probably become the number one in the nightclub or the mamasang...
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
Uncle Ming sat down and opened the soju on the table.
"Now that you are back alive, no matter whether you are going to Kunlun or wherever you are going, you should be happy when you are back alive. But how did you get down here?"
As he spoke, he pointed at Luo Wei, who was covered in mud marks.
Yin Xiu said helplessly: "I don't know, I just told the reception priest above that we are ready to come back.
Then when I opened my eyes again, I was free falling in the air. I was below and Ma Xiaoyu was on top.
Fortunately, there is a brave detective down there to take care of me. "
"fine?"
Luo Wei frowned, "It's not good at all! My newly made clothes are now considered scrapped."
"it's okay no problem."
Yin Xiu pushed over a glass of soju and said, "Just make another set. The chief tailor of Rong Jinhang can make you a set of strong and durable clothes. It's not difficult."
"Rong Jinxing? It's very expensive."
"You, a detective, earn a few hundred dollars a month, so what are you afraid of? And with Liu Banxian's introduction, you can get a discount, right?"
Liu Banxian straightened his collar and said, "Yes, the tailors at Rongjin are very familiar with me. They are those who make suits, make coats, make robes, and sew mandarin jackets.
I just ordered a Tang suit last week, and the logo is very fitting! "
"Hey, Dakou, you brought so many things here specifically to treat us to dinner, right?"
Uncle Ming opened an oil paper bag, and a fragrant and oily roast chicken was taken out of the paper bag. Ma Xiaoyu was stunned to see it.
"Of course I'm treating everyone to dinner."
Liu Banxian took the plate, picked up the oil paper bag at hand and shook it, and all the prawns as thick as a thumb fell on the plate.
"Celebrate the safe return of Brother Yin and Miss Ma. We are all good brothers and comrades who live and die together. I am very happy that you are back.
By the way, don’t drink soju. Take a look at this bottle of 18-year-old brandy. "
Uncle Ming took the bottle, looked at the reddish-brown liquid inside, shook his head and said, "Foreign wine? I'm not used to drinking it. Will it cause stomach upset?"
"Don't worry, it's nothing like this."
Liu Banxian took out several glasses from somewhere and poured half of the wine into each glass.
"Let's all try it. It won't kill you if you drink it."
……
Three rounds of wine, five flavors of rice.
By the time Ma Xiaoyu spat out the last chicken leg bone from her mouth, the originally full table was empty.
There were two bottles of brandy piled on the table, and the others were bottles of soju, which made it difficult to get off.
Uncle Ming's face turned red, he burped twice, put a cigarette into his mouth, and then asked: "Tell me, what else do you have to do."
In this way, Liu Banxian took out a letter from his pocket with a smile.
The letter was neatly hidden in the inner pocket and was obviously very precious to Liu Banxian.
"It's like this, we met those White Lotus Sect in the Infernal World last month, and they always make me feel strange.
According to the current situation, the White Lotus Sect should be fighting fiercely with the imperial court in the north. Baishui River and Qingcheng have been at war here for more than half a year.
Four of the eight most elite regiments of the imperial court were also involved in the war between these two places. It stands to reason that since the imperial court was so willing to spend money, the White Lotus Sect could deal with it so easily that there was still room for the guardians to protect the sect. His Holiness brought so many people to Hong Kong Island? So I think this is probably a very important thing that they don't hesitate to spend such a price on.
So I wrote a letter to my friend in the north and asked him to help me verify it.
Yesterday, the letter came. I opened it and read it. I immediately felt the seriousness of the matter, so I had to come over today. "
"The local postman always delivers the parcel in the morning, no later than [-] ."
Uncle Ming bit his cigarette butt, "Dakou, even if you go back at night and read the letter, you will definitely have time to come to me. Why did you come here today? This makes me feel that this is not very urgent?"
Liu Banxian scratched his head, "Miss Anna was at my place last night..."
"The one who runs a jewelry store?" Luo Wei asked in surprise.
"Yes."
Liu Banxian touched his face in embarrassment, "We hit it off at a cocktail party, so..."
"okay!"
Uncle Ming knocked on the table, "You'd better go over your beliefs first. We'll talk about those romantic affairs later."
"Of course, of course, that's what I'm here for."
Liu Banxian spread the letter paper on the table, "Then I will read it and listen carefully..."
After Liu Banxian finished reciting, after a while, there was still no one talking in the room, only the sound of burning incense candles.
After a pause, Uncle Ming spoke again.
He held a cigarette between his fingers and frowned, "The White Lotus Sect are really stubborn and they want to dig out the imperial court's dragon veins."
"Those guys are constantly drinking boiling oil and eating hot coals. They are definitely not in their right mind."
Liu Banxian crossed his hands together, thoughtfully.
"It's just that I didn't expect that according to the letter, the White Lotus Saint took the lead in digging out the dragon's veins.
No wonder they can bloom at both ends. One group is doing trouble in the north, and the other group goes to Hong Kong Island to cause trouble. "The White Lotus Sect arose in the Tang and Song Dynasties and believed in the birthless old mother.
The belief is something Buddhist, with the Buddhist principles of the Eastern Pure Land Sect as its source.
And the rituals tend to be Taoist, especially things like charms and magic weapons.
However, in the eyes of Buddhist and Taoist monks, the White Lotus Sect is a pure temple of obscenity. Just because of some of their practices, even evil cultivators will shake their heads after seeing it.
Those who have great magic power in the White Lotus Sect, and those who have been blessed by the Wusheng Old Mother, generally have one-handed magic skills and can invite gods, such as the Third Prince Nezha, King Li Tianwang of Tota, and the Monkey King, the Monkey King.
You can also ask the master, the real Master Jiugong.
There are many capable people and strangers, but there is no one person who stands at the top and leads them.
The superstructure of the White Lotus Sect is composed of saints and saints, plus a varying number of sage kings who protect the religion.
The Holy Son and the Holy Woman claim to be the spokesperson of the Inanimate Mother.
Regardless of whether they are true or false, regardless of their actual power, just in a symbolic sense, the status of these two people is already superior, and no one can compare with them.
But the saint can mobilize so many resources, and it is obvious that her status is not just symbolic.
"Do you know what this White Lotus Saint's name is, her home address, and where she usually hangs out?" Luo Wei asked.
Liu Banxian wiped his lenses speechlessly.
"Detective Yong, we are not investigating a case right now, let alone checking household registration. What is the name of the Saint? She is just called the Saint. That is what the White Lotus Sect calls her, so people outside naturally follow her name.
As for other information, I am afraid that even those who often approach her only know her face.
Now that we know that she is in the Changbai Mountain area, we have already done enough intelligence work. "
"Ok."
Only then did Luo Wei realize that even if he could really get some information, the saint was still far in the north, and the methods here would not work on her.
Yin Xiu was also drunk at this time, but as soon as he heard about Changbai Mountain, he had already sobered up.
"Liu Banxian, are you worried that the White Lotus Sect will come to arrest you?"
"Catch me?"
Liu Banxian snorted, "Can you catch me? Who am I? I have so many brothers, not only them, but others will not have another chance.
And on the contrary, they don’t come to me, but I go to them! "
"what!?"
The four people present all let out a surprised cry, each with their mouths getting bigger than the other.
Yin Xiu picked up the wine bottle and smelled it under his nose, "It's not fake wine."
Ma Xiaoyu shook his head, "I'm not possessed by evil spirits."
Luo Wei and Uncle Ming just looked at him indifferently, thinking Liu Banxian was joking.
"it is true!"
Liu Banxian was a little anxious, "I am a person who can joke about other things, but this kind of important matter that involves life and death, involving the country and the country, but I can't joke at all."
"Oh?"
Yin Xiu also became serious.
"Liu Banxian, when the White Lotus Sect asked you to cooperate, you refused outright.
It is said that the imperial court's dragon vein in Changbai Mountain cannot be cut off, otherwise the world will be in chaos.
Could it be that you want to go north this time just to prevent the White Lotus Sect from attacking Dragon Vein? "
"Yes."
Liu Banxian nodded solemnly, "As I said, Mr. Feng Shui is a profession to others, but to me it is a hobby and a dream.
Since you, Brother Yin, are No. 60 in the five hexagrams, then my wish for most of my life has been fulfilled.
The next step in my career is, of course, to use all my abilities to protect the destiny of Kyushu.
Some people are doing the job of cutting off the dragon veins all over the world, so I will protect them and cultivate the dragon veins, so that Kyushu can come back to life. "
After a pause, Liu Banxian picked up the wine glass, only to find that it was empty.
It was Ma Xiaoyu who pushed him a cup of tea, and Liu Banxian drank it down gratefully and exhaled a white breath.
“I made up my mind to do something like this.
As for where to start, it is to prevent the White Lotus Sect from digging up the dragon veins of Changbai Mountain.
However, I'm just a Feng Shui observer, and I can't fight with anyone. If you hadn't protected me, I don't know how many times I would have died.
so……"
"rest assured!"
Yin Xiu grabbed his shoulders and said, "Liu Banxian, what is the relationship between the two of us? Brothers who died!" A bottle of wine for two people, your money is my money. If I eat two legs of a roast chicken, I will leave a chicken butt for you.
Needless to say, although I have never been to Changbai Mountain and do not know the dangers involved, if you can afford the travel expenses, this matter will be taken care of by Ma Xiaoyu and me. "
"It's that simple?"
Liu Banxian's eyes widened, and he almost suspected that Yin Xiu had actually been taken away from him, otherwise it would have been so easy to ask him to do something.
Ma Xiaoyu on the other side just lowered his head and drank tea without saying a word.
"Brother Yin, asking you to contribute to my affairs is equivalent to working in vain. Is it appropriate?"
"Appropriate, so appropriate!"
Yin Xiu patted her chest, "It is our duty to save Jiuzhou from fire and water!"
"Okay, that's good..."
Liu Banxian wiped the sweat from his head and said, "I have already inquired, and the fastest ship will leave the day after tomorrow.
We set out along the sea route, bypassing eastern Guangdong, southern Fujian, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Tianjin, and landed directly at a port outside the customs. Then we took the land route and took a carriage to the surroundings of Changbai Mountain.
There, colleagues will pick us up.
We can go into the mountain first, or we can inquire about the White Lotus Sect's movements in the surrounding areas. Either way is convenient and easy to do. "
"I listen to you."
Yin Xiu yawned and put a hand on Ma Xiaoyu's shoulder, "There is no problem between the two of us."
"Who is following you and us?"
Ma Xiaoyu rolled her shoulders and shook Yin Xiu's hand off.
"What about me? Shall I go too?" Luo Wei asked.
"What are you going to do? Not going to work?"
"Go to work?" Luo Wei's eyes widened, "You made the situation so urgent, and then you asked me to go to work?"
"Then if you don't go to work, who will support you?"
Yin Xiu rolled his eyes, "Our trip will be busy for several months anyway. If you are not here, what will happen if those monsters and ghosts cause trouble?"
"Well, it seems so." Luo Wei felt helpless.
"However," Yin Xiu suddenly laughed, "Actually, you are not idle here. There is something I want to ask you for help, and you can be of great help."
Hearing this, Luo Wei's eyes that had dimmed began to shine again, "Just say it."
"It's very simple. Help me check for a person. He has been very popular in the dark world of Europa recently. His name is Red Emperor." (End of this chapter)
