Chapter 286 Am I that kind of person?
“Ding Dong.”
The elevator reached the top floor, where the president's office area looked very large.
Each floor belongs to the leader of the Qinghun Sect. As soon as Xu Ercong left the elevator, he was greeted by a curtain with a huge word written on it.
"soul!"
Lifting the curtain and walking inside, what comes into view is an empty and classical room, with a cloth ball on the ground. An old man in a Taoist robe is resting with his eyes closed, making hand gestures , and there are signs of spiritual energy surging around him.
There was incense burning in the small stove next to it, and the scent was faint and long-lasting.
At first glance, it has a fairy-like atmosphere.
"Master, my friend is here."
Long Aotian's loud voice ruined the atmosphere. Xu Ercong tactfully bowed to the old man's back and said, "Greetings, senior. I am Long...Xu Ercong."
Long Aotian looked at Xu Ercong with some suspicion. Why was this guy's mouth crooked?
Cold sweat broke out on Xu Ercong's forehead. He spoke too quickly and almost picked up Long Aotian's sign out of habit.
These days, when he was doing his personal tasks, he was worried that he would suffer some unnecessary retaliation, so he always called himself Long Aotian.
I almost couldn't change this habit.
“You’re here.”
An old voice sounded, and the old man stood up. He was a short old man with a hunched back. He turned around with a smile and pointed to the low table beside him: "Everyone, sit down, pour your own tea , don't be polite."
Long Aotian was not reserved at all. Xu Ercong sat down politely and poured a cup of tea for the leader.
"Master, my friend is here today regarding the matter of Wanguimen."
"I know. I heard you talk about it."
The head of the sect drank a sip of tea, squinted his old eyes and glanced at Xu Ercong, his expression became serious: "I heard from Xiao Aozi that you were attacked by people from the Wanguimen?"
Little Aozi?
Xu Ercong glanced at Long Aotian with a strange expression, then lowered his head and held back his laughter.
This name really sounds like a eunuch.
Long Aotian's face was filled with helplessness, and he shouted, "My master is asking you a question! What are you looking at me for?"
"Yes, Senior."
Xu Ercong forgot about the matter of Qi Xueyi and recounted the general situation he encountered in the villa. Then he took out the relic of the old man in red, an ancient token, from his arms.
"Wan" is written on the front and "Gui" is written on the back.
The head of the sect took the token and looked at it from left to right. He suddenly laughed and said, "You are quite capable. This should be the token of an inner disciple of the Ten Thousand Ghost Sect. An inner disciple must raise at least one evil ghost. How could you kill it?"
Xu Ercong said politely: "It's just luck, I don't dare to take credit for it."
The head of the sect looked at Xu Ercong meaningfully. Since he was not his disciple, he did not ask too many questions. As long as he was a friend and not an enemy, that was enough.
"It seems that what you said is indeed somewhat credible. You are Xiao Aozi's friend, and I will certainly help you vent your anger and find the trace of Wanguimen."
The head of the sect spoke seriously, "Besides, the Wangui Sect has evil means and is not afraid of anything. It is the common land of all the ghost sect monks. As the leader sect elected by the ghost sect monks, our Qinghun Sect will not sit idly by and watch the re-emergence of the Wangui Sect."
"Thank you, senior. I am also willing to contribute my part to uphold justice."
Xu Ercong was overjoyed. As long as the Qinghun Sect took action, the Wangui Sect would most likely surface. Xu Ercong was certain that the Wangui Sect had at least one world-class mission!
After receiving news of the emergence of the evil sect Wanguimen, the righteous sect Qinghunmen sent disciples to investigate openly and secretly, and finally found the sect's lair and wiped out all the evil in one fell swoop!
The script has been written, except for the protagonist Wan Guimen to appear on the stage.
"You're thoughtful."
The head of the sect nodded and said, "But there is no rush for this matter. The Wan Gui Men have disappeared for so many years and have not revealed any traces. It is not easy to find them."
"The juniors will follow the arrangements of the seniors!"
“Well, if you have nothing to do, you can stay in Qinghunmen for a while, and Xiao Aozi will accompany you.”
The head of the sect smiled and said, "You are not only Xiao Aozi's friend, but also a friend of Qinghun Sect. Treat this place as your own home and don't feel restrained."
"Thank you, senior." Xu Ercong clasped his fists.
Just when the three of them were chatting happily, the elevator rang again with a "Ding Dong!"
Several men and women in white suits hurried in, holding a stack of documents and envelopes in their hands, their expressions extremely serious.
Xu Ercong looked at Long Aotian, and Long Aotian explained in a low voice: "Black suits are for outer disciples. White suits are for inner disciples. This is the rule."
"Then why are you wearing black?"
Xu Ercong was surprised: "Aren't you the eldest senior brother?"
"I am the master's personal disciple!"
Long Aotian smiled coldly: "I like to wear whatever I like, I just like this black, who dares to say anything more."
"The Qinghun Sect has close ties with secular organizations and can basically be regarded as the public representative of the Ghost Sect monks on this continent. All kinds of difficult matters are handled and distributed by the Qinghun Sect."
"Only inner disciples can enter this place, but they usually don't come here unless there is something important."
Long Aotian paused and said, "Looks like something has happened."
As soon as Long Aotian finished speaking, the sect leader put down his teacup and looked at the inner disciples with a frown.
"Something happened."
The master cannot be disturbed unless it is a very important matter. This group of people came up without reporting, so it must be something extremely important.
"Master, please look."
An inner sect male disciple respectfully put the folder in his hand down, then glanced at Xu Ercong and hesitated to speak.
The head of the sect lowered his head and flipped through the information: "It's okay, go ahead."
"Master, since last night, there have been at least a hundred cases of evil spirits attacking people all over the country, and several neighboring countries have been affected."
"In addition to evil spirits, there are also frequent traces of various ghosts. Some people even saw at least hundreds of ghosts appearing in groups on the busy streets of the downtown area, as if they were an army in an orderly manner."
"The scope of the incident is so wide that it involves dozens of cities, large and small, and seven or eight countries ."
"The ghost incidents that broke out last night exceeded the total for the whole year. The secular world is a bit overwhelmed and wants us to handle it."
The inner sect disciple paused and said, "We have not yet found the reason for the large-scale appearance of this group of ghosts, but we have come to a conclusion that these ghosts all belong to the same camp or sect. They wear the same soul clothes, hold swords and weapons, and their movements are quite like those of an ancient army."
"It's just strange that no matter whether it's a fierce ghost or an ordinary ghost, none of them hurt anyone. They just captured people on a large scale and then let them go at dawn."
The inner sect disciple glanced at the sect leader and said, "Sect Leader, what should we do now?"
Xu Ercong and Long Aotian looked at each other and suddenly realized something.
This is the rhythm of the world plot beginning!
As expected, the evil spirits took action and invaded the secular world on a large scale, intending to capture the young Taoist priest.
"What should I do?"
Long Aotian quietly bumped into Xu Ercong and sent him a private message asking, "The little Taoist priest is from your club. Do you plan to keep him or sell him? Will you share the points from the sale with me?"
Xu Ercong asked back: "Am I the kind of person who would sell out my friends for 10,000 points?"
Long Aotian was stunned: "Aren't you?"
"Bullshit! Ten thousand points are nothing!"
Xu Ercong was very disappointed: "Why don't you use your brain to think about it? The first mission target of this world-class mission has a richer reward! Every player can get 100 points if they defeat the ghost generals sent by the ghost den!"
"For the third expansion pack, there must be at least one million old players, right? That means 100 million points!"
"Besides, if we win against the ghosts, the club that leads the team battle will gain more reputation among players, and more players will gain a large amount of experience points and life points. They will trust me even more."
"I would not betray the little Taoist priest unless I was out of my mind."
After Xu Ercong explained, Long Aotian suddenly understood: "After listening to your calculation, the first mission target is indeed quite profitable."
Xu Ercong was very pleased that Xiao Aozi was not stupid enough to reach the bottom line of human beings.
Long Aotian paused, and then said, "But I still think the first mission goal is too troublesome, and the second mission goal is better. Wouldn't it be great to sell the little Taoist priest and get 10,000 points? Why should I care whether other players have points or not?"
"Some things are more valuable than points, such as popularity..."
Xu Ercong covered his forehead and decided to take back his evaluation. This guy was indeed stupid to the bottom line of human beings.
…
"Arrest someone? And then release him?"
The leader frowned. Is there any connection between the emergence of the Wangui Sect and the chaos caused by ghosts?
He couldn't figure out the reason, so he could only give the order: "Activate Level 1 alert! Call on all the major sects to send people over. Also notify them to immediately organize the monks to catch ghosts!"
"No matter what the reason for their large-scale emergence, the hidden dangers must be eliminated in the shortest possible time to maintain the economic and secular situation!"
"Also, do your best to search for where these ghosts came from!"
The head of the sect was very worried about one problem. The appearance of these ghosts was strange and there were so many of them.
There are at least tens of thousands of cases of ghost attacks recorded in the data alone, which means there are at least tens of thousands of ghosts. Who knows if there are more ghosts that have not yet appeared.
Where these ghosts came from is the issue that the leader is most worried about.
"Little Aozi!"
Long Aotian was startled: "Disciple is here!"
"Immediately coordinate the disciples of the Qinghun Sect to go to these three cities to suppress the ghost chaos!"
The head of the sect pointed at the three cities with the worst ghost infestations in the folder. Long Aotian took the folder and said, "Disciple, I obey your orders!"
Xu Ercong also took the opportunity to clasp his fists and said, "Senior, I have nothing to do anyway, so why not contribute as well?"
