Volume 6: Summer Chapter 48 Compensation
Jiang You walked with Jiang Mo in his arms on the Cultural Street, then went to Jiumei Square and bought some toys and some clothes for Jiang Mo. He rested for a while at a dessert shop with his bags and had a bowl of fruit ice cream. When he was thinking about whether to have lunch or go to the movies first, his phone vibrated.
It was opened by Taoist Qingyang.
Pick up.
After a few pleasantries, Taoist Qingyang got straight to the point. He said, "I want to ask you for a favor."
"you say."
"The Lingguan Temple has been renovated, and the consecration ceremony will be held next Wednesday."
"Congratulations."
"In addition to the city leaders, there will be thousands of believers coming, so I would like to trouble you to come to Baihe Temple before the ceremony to check if there are any hidden dangers."
"Sure." Jiang You agreed immediately.
"So which day is convenient for you?"
Jiang You thought about it and said, "Let's do it today. I'll come over after dinner."
…
Laojin Mountain.
Taoist Qingyang took Jiang You into the Lingguan Hall through the side door.
Jiang You put the minced ginger on the ground, walked forward a few steps, and looked up at the new statue of Wang Lingguan.
Taoist Qingyang closed the door.
The light in the hall dimmed again.
"Did you see anything?" asked Taoist Qingyang.
Jiang You pushed his glasses and looked carefully for a few seconds. He said, "No, I think it's fine."
Taoist Qingyang breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good. Once the research institute moves here, there will be fewer activities like this."
"Being quiet and peaceful will help you cultivate your mind."
"That being said," Taoist Qingyang sighed slightly, "I also wanted to seek immortality and the great way. I'm not bragging, but among the Taoists registered in China, I may have the highest level of cultivation. But compared with the people in the mountains, it's nothing."
“Aren’t all the people on the mountain experts?”
"I have met Xiao Tang's master," Taoist Qingyang raised his head and stared at the three-eyed, angry-looking, sword-holding Wang Lingguan statue. "It was forty years ago. I was still a young Taoist priest at that time. Something happened at that time, and I followed my master to the mountain for help. I rode a fairy crane and flew over the mountain, passing one mountaintop after another. I really felt that it was a fairyland ."
"Is the crane big ?" Jiang You asked.
"It's bigger than an ordinary crane."
"What is the Section Chief Master like?"
"Her name is Tang Yi. After hearing our request, the mountain people asked her to come down with us," Taoist Qingyang turned around, "She is very strong, so strong that she is inhuman. Little Tang followed her temperament."
Taoist Qingyang looked at the beams of sunlight falling through the high window panes. "Since then, I realized that due to my limited talent, it would be difficult for me to achieve anything in cultivation. My master saw my thoughts and let me start to get involved in some of the daily affairs of Baihe Temple. Later, I became the abbot. Baihe Temple is my hard work."
Jiang Mo walked to Jiang You and Jiang You touched his hair.
"How is he now?" asked Taoist Qingyang.
"Very good, I will go to primary school next year."
"Since there's nothing wrong here, why don't we go to the back mountain to have a look?" Taoist Qingyang suggested, "It won't be so easy to go there in the future."
"Okay, I haven't had a good look around the back hills yet."
Taoist Qingyang took Jiang You to the ruins of the Back Mountain Research Institute.
In the last incident, the small building collapsed completely. Jiang You held Jiang Mo and walked slowly around the original location of the small building. There were still some bricks and construction waste on the ground that had not been cleaned up, and weeds grew on them.
"Guan Nuo is about to graduate, right?" Taoist Qingyang asked.
"I'm graduating this month. I think the Special Operations Department may not need me as a part-time worker anymore," Jiang You found a stone under the shade of a tree to sit down, took out a bottle of Coke from his bag and took a sip, "This way my life can get back on track."
"What are you going to do?"
"Open your shop well. Today the decoration team will come to build the door for my yard. It should be done quickly within this month. When the research institute develops new equipment, my intermittent clairvoyance will be useless. I'd better be sensible and leave by myself. I can still keep some friendship with you."
Taoist Qingyang also found a rock to sit on. He asked, "What do you think of the spiritual power of different species?"
"I don't even know what that is."
"Actually, I asked you to come here today because of the incident with your tenant last time," Taoist Qingyang looked at Jiang You, "After I came back, I thought about it and still felt that something was wrong. There are many practitioners in Huaxia Country, but the number of people who can cultivate to a certain level down in the mountain can be counted. Just looking at the sealing method on the ruler, his grandfather can't be an unknown person."
"Famous or not, everyone is dead."
"I think he might have something to do with what happened thirty years ago."
"Thirty years ago? What happened?"
"You don't know?" Taoist Qingyang was a little surprised.
"I'm just a part-timer. At most, according to what you said, the section chief hired me because she trusts me more." Jiang You looked at the mountains shrouded in clouds in the distance. "Master, even if the section chief stopped the institute from moving this time. What are you going to do if the institute wants to move again in two years?"
A hint of hesitation flashed across Taoist Qingyang's face.
"Advisor Zhuang will be stationed in Yanjing in the future."
"How do you know that?"
"He said it himself at the meeting."
Taoist Qingyang thought for a moment and said, "He is making plans for Guan Nuo."
"Yes, the relationship between the mountain, the research institute, and the Special Operations Department will become closer and closer. The Special Operations Department will no longer be short of manpower. I am planning to leave anyway."
"You think clearly."
"I'm from Tangjiang. When I was a kid, our school organized a spring outing, but no one wanted to come to Laojin Mountain because they thought it was boring. It was just a mountain with a broken Taoist temple, and there was nothing to do. Now, when I came here just now, there were people all along the way."
“It’s really all hard work.”
Jiang You turned to look at Taoist Qingyang, "You have been helping Zhuang Zekun in the past few years, and you have also taken risks, right?"
"Yes, although Tang Jiang is safe, but..."
"So he owes you a favor," Jiang You took another sip of Coke. "Zhuang Zekun has been planning for more than ten years and has finally turned things around. He is now focused on completing his past plans. The relocation of the institute is just one part of the plan. If you argue with him at this time , you will be a stumbling block to his grand goal, don't you think?"
Taoist Qingyang smiled bitterly, "Then what else can I do?"
"Ask Zhuang Zekun what to do and ask for compensation. Ask him to investigate Meng Yuanbai's case. He must know what happened thirty years ago. If he finds out anything, it will be a good achievement for Guan Nuo, and he can ask for more compensation."
Taoist Qingyang remained silent.
Jiang You added, "Three years ago, they were able to plot for the section chief to go down the mountain, and three years later, they were able to keep the section chief in the Special Operations Department."
"Will Xiao Tang stay?" Taoist Qingyang was a little surprised.
"I think that's what Zhuang Zekun meant. He even created a space specifically for the section chief and Guan Nuo to practice," Jiang You changed his sitting position, "The section chief can hardly protect himself."
Taoist Qingyang thought for a moment and said, "I need to think about it again."
"Okay, I'll go back then," Jiang You stood up and stretched. "I'll go back. I ran ten kilometers in the morning and climbed a mountain in the afternoon. I'm in pain all over now."
