Artisans in Tunli

Chapter 71 The Eve of the Rescue
Originally, I wanted to take my master and wife back to the Northeast for burial. As the old saying goes, this is called returning the fallen leaves to their roots.

But Xu Qingfeng said that Jiangsu is the place where my wife and master met and fell in love, so it is better to bury her in the ground.

Her words reminded me that it's not bad to think about it, this pair of mandarin ducks can finally be together logically.

Of course, Zhang Ling also rushed over, crying to death.She said that the master has basically dealt with demons and goblins all his life, so he must be buried in a beautiful and beautiful manner.

I will definitely let the master be buried in a glorious manner, and even the banners are ready.This master has no heirs, Zhang Feng is gone, and I can be counted as his son.

When the old man of the Mu family saw the banner I made, he curled his lips and said something I didn't understand.Mu Xiaohai came over to translate for me, the old man said that I made this banner, it was too ugly.

I didn't take it to heart either. Before the master left, he never taught me this skill. It is already very good to know how a filial son plays the flag.

Ma Wen and Jiang Nianqing also came to Yinyangtun. I don't know if Jiang Nianqing has dealt with the master, but they all seem to have experienced the same thing. Otherwise, why do they all look so young?
At first I thought whether the bodies of the master and his wife were going to be cremated, but then the village chief told us that they had a large cemetery where the master could be buried, which made me want to be buried here after my death.

And all the expenses of this funeral, including the banquet, were shared by the people in the village.A few days before the funeral, except for the vigil.I also made a pair of boys and girls with my own hands. It seems that Zhang Feng's craftsmanship is not as good, but only I know in my heart that the master will not be needed.

If the master still has a soul, he will be very disappointed, after all his big apprentice didn't come to see him off.I also asked Liu Chunli if she had any news about Zhang Feng, and she just sighed.

After the banquet was over, I asked Xu Qingfeng what his plans were. Now that my wife has passed away, she can be regarded as an upgrade.But she didn't say anything except wiping her tears and blowing her nose.I think she should replace Shi Niang and preside over the Taoist temple again.

"Thirteen, I want to go out and see the outside world." After seeing off the guests, she whispered in my ear.

I was still thinking about the smell when I burned the paper just now, and what she said surprised me a lot.However, this is not the first time she has mentioned this matter. Now that the decision has been made, what I can do is to encourage her.

I took a deep breath, and the turbid smell in the air penetrated deeply into my lungs. I turned my head and said to her, "If you think about it, just do it."

In the few days after returning to the Taoist temple, I seldom chatted with Xu Qingfeng, just because I was afraid that she might think of me.And I'm not worth it.

Until I received a call from Liu Chunli, she told me that Xiaoqi was missing, and she had entrusted Li Qing to investigate what happened, and asked me to return to Beijing as soon as possible.

I pulled my luggage and reluctantly walked out of the guest room, and saw Xu Qingfeng busy calling the workers to move the things in the courtyard.Seeing me pulling the luggage, I seemed a little disappointed on my face.

"What's wrong with you?" I asked her, but when I opened my mouth, she started crying.

I'm most afraid of girls crying, and I don't know why.He hurriedly took out a tissue and handed it to her.

"It's okay, I just don't want you to leave, but sooner or later you will leave. Here, there is nothing left." After speaking, he began to cry again.

"Don't cry, okay, if you don't know where to go, just follow me to BJ."

Although I said so, she immediately shook her head, then pulled up my luggage and walked out, urging me to hurry up or miss the last bus.

Before getting in the car, she didn't say a word, and she didn't even look at me seriously.

Maoshan, it's raining again today.

In BJ in December, the sycamore leaves on the street were scattered, telling the sadness of late autumn.The chill in the air reminds me that the winter solstice is approaching.

Get in the car for dumplings and get off for noodles. When I got off Liu Chunli's car, she insisted on dragging me to have a bowl of Lanzhou ramen.I changed three pairs of chopsticks, but I couldn't find the beef in the bowl, so I put down the chopsticks after taking two sips of soup.

"Let's talk about Xiaoqi, why is a living person missing? Besides, he still has superpowers and so on." I looked at the people coming in and out, and I was still thinking about Xu Qingfeng, not knowing that she was alone Can you take care of yourself.

Liu Chunli just cared about the food in the bowl, didn't say a word, then answered a phone call, and left in a hurry.

"Lingling will come over to tell you later that I have to go to the police station." Liu Chunli withdrew after paying the bill, leaving me sitting there alone waiting for Liu Chunling.

At this time, a piece of news was broadcast on the TV on the wall, which aroused my interest.

"Recently, enthusiastic citizens have reported to our station that unimaginable supernatural events have occurred near the Xishiku Church. Some experts claim that this is just a normal physical phenomenon. Under the influence of the sunspot magnetic field, there will be similar to the solar wind. Natural phenomena such as the aurora, NASA claims”

I'm not interested in sunspots, solar wind, etc., it's because I was still thinking about Xiao Qi just now, and when I heard the church suddenly, I connected them.

"What are you thinking? I didn't see you when I came here?" Liu Chunling pulled the chair and was about to sit down. I hurriedly asked her if she had any news about Xiao Qi.

She ignored me, called the waiter directly, ordered a bowl of noodles and a bottle of Arctic Ocean, and then opened her mouth and said, "Can you let me have something to eat? My car is out for maintenance, so I squeezed the bus to come here."

I'm right when I think about it, I haven't seen you for so long, and I didn't even say hello, so I went directly to the topic, which is a bit inappropriate.

"Blame me, blame me, you Haihan", I quickly laughed and said, "I haven't seen you for more than a month, why is Sister Ling getting more and more beautiful? Hey mom, why are you so handsome, it's so rare! "

She glanced at me, smiled and said that I was duplicity, and then looked at me as if I was really anxious, and then slowly talked about Xiaoqi.

According to Liu Chunli's description, Li Qing was planning to exorcise a family of foreigners with Thomas at that time, but he didn't know what happened, and he didn't see Xiao Qi for a few days.Finally, she found the convenience store where Xiao Qi worked, and the boss said that he was still looking for him.

I asked Liu Chunling who Thomas was?I knew there was a Thomas maneuver.

"Thomas is a priest that Xiaoqi knows. They seem to have a good relationship. They go to exorcise others when they have nothing to do. Don't interrupt me, do you still want to hear it?"

"I was wrong, sister Ling, you continue."

Thinking about what happened in Jiangsu before, Liu Chunli was afraid that Xiaoqi was also kidnapped by the Soul Sect, so she asked Li Qing to help find clues.They also sent Lao Wu to investigate everywhere, but there has been no progress.

"Until the day before yesterday, we had an important clue." After Liu Chunling said this, my appetite was immediately whetted.Picking up the chopsticks is just a meal, without considering my feelings at all.

I'm afraid this is, thunderbolt chopsticks whirlwind mouth, kuang kuang is just smashing in.

I specially recorded the time for her, and it took only 1 minute and 23 seconds, and even the soup and noodles were eaten up.Wiping his mouth, he began to fill his stomach with iced drinks again.

"Sister Ling, can you hurry up and talk, I'm dying of anxiety!"

She burped for a long time, which drew a disdainful look from the waitress, before she began to say, "Don't worry, I'll just say that. By the way, do you have any cigarettes on you?"

"Now BJ is smoking-free, no smoking is allowed, tell me quickly!" My patience has been exhausted.

"Okay, just kidding, don't be angry. In fact, my sister found out that after they went to the foreigner's house, they went to church, and then they never came out again."

My heart was shocked, and I quickly said, "No, it's the Xishiku Church, right?"

"How did you guess that?" She asked me with wide-eyed eyes.

It seems that what I thought was the same, what the experts on TV said was like farting.Only the common people know what is going on.

I didn't ask any more questions, and quickly asked her to pay the bill, and then walked quickly towards the company.

As soon as I got out of the elevator, I found that the front desk was empty and there was no one there.So I went in and pressed the door switch, and entered the conference room only to find that everyone was inside.

"Brother Thirteen! You are back." Juanjuan and others greeted me. I was a little embarrassed to be watched by so many people, so I quickly found a seat and sat down.

Liu Chunli took the information that Li Qing brought and arranged the task for everyone.Li Qing was always on the seat in front, picking his fingers for a while, fumbling with the phone for a while, as if he had nothing to do with him at all.

"Brother Thirteen, look at my prosthetic limb!" Juanjuan moved closer to me, rolled up her trouser legs, and let me see it.

I reached out and touched her calf, and it felt a little cold. Just from the surface, it should be made of resin and some lighter alloys.The structure is very simple, but it looks very technological.

I don't know if I should be happy for her or sad.After all, this fake can't be true.If I had learned how to control Qi at that time, I would have shattered the bugs directly.

Liu Chunli pressed the remote control, and the floor plan of the church was displayed on the big screen. Before she could see it clearly, she flashed to the next photo.

"In 1888, the Shishiku Church was built, and decades later, someone built an anti-aircraft facility under it, which was later deactivated.

Until 1921, a company whose information could not be found contracted the church and its air defense facilities. "Liu Chunli said.

In this picture, the pipeline diagram of the facility is given, and the elevator shaft is also marked, but that's all.

Although with our equipment, it is impossible to open the encryption lock of the main entrance of the facility below.However, we can climb in through the vents on the outside of the church.

Li Qing had already sent someone in to inspect it before, and figured out the best route.As long as we find a way, destroy the door of the facility from the inside, and let the assault troops rush in.Cooperating with the inside and the outside, and taking down this organization together, I'm afraid it's easy to do.

"Are you sure, this is the base of the 'Soul Sect'?" I asked my question.

I looked at Liu Chunli, hoping she could give an answer, but Li Qing opened his mouth and said:

"Let's not talk about whether it is the soul sect. When my colleague went in, he saw Xiao Qi and was tied to a test bench. We can sue them for kidnapping, but I discussed it with Sister Liu and decided to let her go. Long line, big fish."

After listening to his words, I thought to myself, is this a laboratory?I thought it would be some kind of Taoist temple. If Xiaoqi was really arrested for scientific research, I would understand it.

"This time, everyone has to wear bulletproof vests and carry an anesthesia gun with them. Because there may be a head-on confrontation with the Soul Sect's people, and we are only responding to sudden spiritual incidents. Cooperate with Officer Li's assault team, yes Our top priority. It's still the same sentence, don't be brave." After Liu Chunli finished speaking, she nodded to Li Qing, and the two walked out of the conference room.

It turns out that what Liu Chunli meant was that this time we may not only have to deal with some unknown supernatural events, but also human beings.I don't know why Xiaoqi offended the Soul Sect, but one thing I can be sure of is that they have already set their sights on us.

When I think of this, I feel even more worried about every familiar face around me.

What should come, will come sooner or later.
