Chapter 65: Cause and Effect of the Underworld
I looked at Gao Qiyun in confusion and asked, "I am only a fourth-rank monk. What can I do to help Lord Wang?"
Wu Zhidao's cousin, who also showed doubt, asked, "Old Gao, stop being so evasive when you speak. Can you speak directly?"
Gao Qiyun sighed and said, "If I'm not mistaken, Brother Ni's performance must have attracted the attention of Wang Gongsheng. He came to find Brother Ni just to let him join the special operations team as a reserve member."
I was even more confused. The reserve force seemed to be no different from the militia. They would farm and do their own things when they were free. They would only carry guns when there was a war. Even if that was the case, it was just a title. What was there to refuse?
Seeing my confusion, Gao Qiyun continued, "This reserve team is not an ordinary reserve team. First of all, the reserve team is not a temporary position, but is required to continuously carry out missions. And the mortality rate is also very high. This is not a big deal. For cultivators of my generation, it is fine to be able to grow in this way. The most terrifying thing is that to enter the reserve team, detailed information must be entered, and you are not allowed to quit for life. In addition, freedom will be restricted. You must know that the special operations team is not a single one, there is also a dark department, and the competition inside is also very fierce. Entering it has no benefits but only disadvantages for cultivation."
I immediately broke out in a cold sweat. If Gao Qiyun hadn't reminded me, then Wang Gongsheng would have come to persuade me, most likely I would have agreed!
After this, the three of us suddenly lost interest in the conversation and headed straight for the Huixuan Society.
The hall was already full of people. Everyone was standing. Fortunately, Duan Qirui had already made arrangements and placed a table in the crowd, which was filled with wine, fruits and other food. These people were living a leisurely life. Everyone was discussing what had just happened with red faces.
There is a large screen on the east wall of the lobby. I guess Wu Zhidao wrote down his thoughts and they will be played on the screen later.
As soon as the three of us came in, the hall suddenly became quiet. Everyone's eyes were on Wu Zhidao.
"Haha, thank you all for your support. I'm sorry for the small misunderstanding just now that frightened everyone. Now I will broadcast my insights on becoming a master to everyone."
There was a burst of applause. I followed Wu Zhidao and took advantage of the crowd to rush to the second floor.
"Oh! You're finally here, I'll let you go!" Zheng Qihuai jumped towards us as soon as he got to the second floor. Obviously, in such a situation, with one person facing thousands of members of the Metaphysics Society, even Zheng Qihuai would collapse!
"You are stupid! Why don't you just find someone to release it? Why do you have to guard it by yourself?" Wu Zhidao scolded angrily.
"That's right, how could I forget! Duan Qirui! Duan Qirui, you bastard, come out quickly."
Zheng Qihuai slapped his forehead and immediately thought of Duan Qirui. Poor Duan, he ran out from the first floor with all his strength.
"Well, Xiao Duan, just play the film here. These things are very valuable to you. Remember to experience them seriously."
Zheng Qihuai said it very seriously, but I felt like a big bad wolf in sheep's clothing was fooling the little sheep! Especially Duan Qihuai's grateful look, I was speechless. Zheng Qihuai even fooled his own people!
"Haha, okay, it's time for us to go. VIP building, President Gao will treat you!" Wu Zhidao said with a smile.
"Old man, I'm a guest from afar, but you're not even willing to do the duty of a host. Aren't you too stingy?" Gao Qiyun scolded with a smile without minding.
Hahahaha! Wu Zhidao laughed loudly, walked to the side door, and opened it like a thief. After checking that there was no one around, he stepped out with confidence.
"Let's go. I've made a small fortune recently, so I don't mind spending money on this meal."
After going around the back door, we finally reached the parking lot. Wu Zhidao finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Alas, I can't stand such a noisy scene. If these guys come over to congratulate me one by one after another, I will really be dead!"
"Mr. Ni!" Wu Zhidao was startled by the sudden voice before he could finish his sigh.
I looked up and saw Niu Da standing by the car not far away, waving at us.
"Brother Wu, Chairman Gao, Brother Zheng, we have a car." I greeted the three old naughty boys with a smile and walked over.
"Oh my! This car is really nice! Why didn't Lao Wu and I think of getting a car like this?" Zheng Qihuai said in admiration after getting in the car.
I could only smile silently. How can I explain this? If I hadn't met Niu Da, I really wouldn't have bought a car.
Wu Zhidao waved his hand and said, "You old man, even if you buy a car, can you drive it? Brother Ni is smart and even got a driver as well." As he spoke, Wu Zhidao glanced at Niu Da and suddenly stopped.
I followed Wu Zhidao's gaze and saw that the black energy on Niu Da's forehead had faded, but unexpectedly it became thicker again at this moment.
"Niu Da, did you encounter any problems when you went home?" I asked calmly. If there was any problem, it would probably be at Niu Da's home! The black-robed man had been killed, and the Ascension Situation had been broken, so why did Niu Da's karma become even heavier?
Niu Da scratched his head and said honestly, "No, haha, after I went back, my wife and children were very happy. They said it was a blessing for me to follow Mr. Ni and asked me to work hard."
"Haha, it's really your blessing to be able to follow Master Ni!" Wu Zhidao looked at me meaningfully and said.
I smiled slightly. Some things really cannot be discussed in front of Niu Da.
After entering the VIP building, Niu Da said he was not used to it, so I didn't force him. I just gave him the remaining money and asked Niu Da to help me choose a mobile phone.
This time, no one disturbed me. After Wu Zhidao sat down, he looked at me solemnly and said, "Ni Ge, this time Zheng Qihuai said you want to go to the underworld. I wanted to persuade you, but it seems that there is no need to persuade you now. The cause and effect are already determined and it is a rare cause and effect of the underworld. I can't help you. But I can set up a ghost array for you and give you a guide talisman, so that you can find your way back after your business is settled."
"The cause and effect of the underworld spirit!" I said in surprise. This cause and effect of the underworld spirit is no joke! The word "underworld spirit" alone shows that the root of this cause and effect lies in the underworld. To be called a spirit, it must be at least at the level of a ghost king! The cause and effect of the underworld spirit also represents death. It can be said to be the ten most vicious causes and effects.
Speaking of the Ghost King, I immediately thought of Ningxiang. I can't see the land and I don't have the qualifications. But Ningxiang said she saw it. So what is Ningxiang's cultivation level? Now it seems that according to cause and effect, it is estimated that she is not far from the Ghost King.
"Yes! However, I just told you the fortune, and it's very bad this time. To be honest, I really hope you don't go, brother." Wu Zhidao looked at me and said again.
I could only give her a bitter smile. I have not had any relatives since I was a child. I will repay anyone who treats me well. Moreover, Ningxiang is like a family member to me. Knowing that Ningxiang's departure is a trap, how can I not go?
"Ni Ge, let's talk about Niu Da. He has a very strong yin energy on his face. These things can only happen at the junction of yin and yang. You can start from him and find the junction. Not only can you solve a hidden danger, but you can also use it as an entrance. It will be much safer. I just don't know where the exact location of the junction of yin and yang is, but it should be not far from Niu Da's residence." Seeing my firm attitude, Wu Zhidao could only help me plan.
"Yes, Ni Ge, I have some attainments in Feng Shui. I will not go back to Kyoto these days." Gao Qiyun looked at me seriously and said.
This meal was not a happy one. It even had a sense of farewell. I tried hard not to show my emotions in front of the three elders. I waved goodbye.
In fact, I have already guessed where the boundary between Yin and Yang is. There is only one thing I need to do, and that is to get on the bus that has the accident.
After General Niu sent me back to the villa, he left immediately.
I sat alone in the hall with my newly bought mobile phone. The table was covered with blank talisman papers.
As I concentrated my energy and spirit, I dipped the wolf-hair brush into cinnabar and moved it across the talisman paper. Soon, more than a dozen Yinling talismans were placed in front of me.
This Yinling talisman is the exact opposite of the ordinary evil-repelling talisman. The Yinling talisman completely blocks the yang energy of a living person, and even a person wearing the Yinling talisman will be considered dead if he falls asleep.
I was traveling to the underworld with my body. Naturally, I had to disguise myself. After the Yinling spell, I drew more than a dozen illusion spells. I simply turned the remaining talisman paper into thunder talismans.
Fortunately, these are second- and third-grade talismans, which are relatively easy for me now.
After putting these things close to me, I held my phone and thought about it. Suddenly I realized that I didn't even have anyone to contact.
It is said that the road of cultivation is long. To become an immortal, one must cut three swords. The first cut is to cut off the seven emotions and six desires, the second cut is to cut off the shackles of worldly affairs, and the third cut is to fall into the world of transcendence. The third sword cuts the self.
But what is the meaning of living a long life? There is no one around to accompany you. Just like now, holding this phone, I don’t know who I can call at this time.
The clock rang at ten o'clock in the evening. I stood up, threw my phone casually on the sofa, and walked out of the living room.
The car should be leaving soon. There is only one reason why it didn't stop, that car only carried dead people. It's easy to find him. Just wait at the cemetery. You will definitely see him at midnight. I left two hours early because I couldn't stand the loneliness.
I just walked out of the bamboo forest, but I unexpectedly saw Zhou Qi. Zhou Qi had regained his original heroic spirit. But his eyes were no longer as sharp as before. It seemed that Zhou Qi had changed a lot after this incident.
"Mr. Ni, you finally came out." Zhou Qi said with a gleam in his eyes.
"Oh! You should have come earlier." I sighed, turned around and called Zhou Qi to go back with me.
