there is someone behind me

The opening ceremony was held at a conference center in downtown Hangzhou, about four and ten minutes away from the designated hotel.As usual, Liu Xuan arranged for everyone to go there, and when getting in the car, Zhou Ling glanced at Liu Meng.I saw that her face was pale, as if she had not recovered from a serious illness.Liu Xuan seemed very worried about her, and looked at her from time to time, but Liu Meng just shook his head and refused to say anything.

Zhou Ling looked away, hugged the cat, closed her eyes and dozed off again.Liu Zihong closed his eyes and meditated.They were in a seven-seater commercial vehicle. Zhou Ling and Liu Zihong were in the back row. In the middle row, Liu Ruyi looked at the two people in the back seat—mainly Liu Zihong, and nodded with satisfaction.I hope that with the help of the extremely Yin body this time, the Liu family can get a good ranking.

In the Hangzhou International Conference Center, a signboard composed of eight large characters is erected on the square in front of the building. Most of the people passing by are in suits and leather shoes, carrying computers and folders, and they all look like business elites.At this time, a group of guys wearing monk robes became particularly conspicuous.

Two young Taoist priests and a middle-aged monk with two young novice monks were talking to a group of people. They seemed to be confirming the guide sign at the door. The car drove past the door and followed the parking guide to the parking lot. Zhou Ling half-closed his eyes Looking out, he happened to meet the eyes of a little monk looking over.

He blinked and smiled, and the little novice turned his face away shyly.

The monk who was listening to the people from the relevant department turned his head and asked the little monk, "What's wrong?"

The little novice said, "Master, I seem to have seen a person transformed from the Udumbara flower."

The monk was taken aback, how could Udumbara become a human being, but his apprentice was born with insight and could distinguish everything in the world, so he asked the little novice monk, "Where did you see it?"

The little novice pointed to the direction of the parking lot: "I saw him in the car, so I went there."

The monk understood that since he was heading towards the parking lot, he was probably here to attend the Magic Summit, so let's wait for the opening ceremony to observe carefully.

The people responsible for the order of the venue were a few newly promoted staff from the relevant departments. When they heard the conversation between the great monk and the young monk, no one took the words of the young monk to heart. People are religious, so there are no gods and ghosts in this world.

After communicating well with the Taoist monks of the religious association, these staff were scattered to various positions and began to get busy.An old employee from a relevant department came over to check on the work of the novices. Two novices happened to be discussing the conversation between monks and monks just now.These employees selected through the normal judicial examination will always go through a process of crushing and reshaping the world view before they understand that this world still has a mysterious and mysterious side.

Walking from the parking lot to the conference venue, I could occasionally hear discussions from others along the way.

"What are you going to do here today? Why are there so many people in weird clothes?"

"It seems that there is a religious forum, and there is a sign at the door."

"No wonder there are so many Taoist monks. Hahaha, now they come to the conference center for meetings, it feels a bit magical."

Yes, there is a sense of incongruity.Zhou Ling looked around at the Liu family, and suddenly rejoiced that they were dressed like modern people.So at this moment, the distress of being surrounded by people is eliminated.The few Taoist priests who got out of the car almost at the same time as them were not so good. From time to time, someone would glance at them.

A younger Taoist priest said to the Taoist priest leading the group: "Master, do you feel that they are all looking at us?"

The Taoist master's expression remained unchanged: "What are you panicking about, just act as if you are taking a photo with tourists on the mountain, just smile."

The young Taoist said "Oh", but his face was still a little embarrassed.

Zhou Ling: "..." It seems that this master's mountain gate is quite famous.

Liu Ruyi recognized the Taoist priest at a glance, but he didn't come forward to talk, he said indifferently: "The Maoshan sect."

Because of Liu Mingzhe's metaphysical science popularization for more than a month, Zhou Ling generally knows that the Maoshan School is also good at dealing with ghosts, and Liu Linglang of the Liu family is also a kind of ghosts. This is probably...a competitor relationship?

Liu Ruyi didn't say hello to the Taoist priests of the Maoshan faction, and they didn't come over. The Taoist leader of Maoshan didn't even give Liu Ruyi a glimpse out of the corner of his eye, and walked straight towards the elevator.

Obviously, one elevator could accommodate everyone, but the two parties insisted on taking two separate elevators to the floor where the venue was located.

The entire floor was covered, and there were guides at the elevator entrance and the staircase entrance to guide the people from various schools and factions who came to participate in the magic arts summit to enter.

There are not only Taoist priests and monks here, but also many people wearing ethnic minority costumes, and many of them carry compass instruments. The cat in Zhou Ling's hand does not seem strange.

Liu Ruyi followed the leading brother and sat in the front row seats, where the seat cards of each team leader were placed, while other contestants and spectators were arranged separately in the back seats.

Zhou Ling and Liu Zihong sat in two seats close to the corridor, the row number was in the middle, and it was just right to see the rostrum not far or near.Liu Zihong is on the outside, the corridor is on the right, Zhou Ling is on the inside, the seat on the left is empty, and next door is a little girl in Miao costumes, she saw Zhou Ling's eyes brighten: "Ah, the one next to you My brother is so handsome, let's exchange wechat numbers."

Zhou Ling was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "Okay." Then he clicked on his WeChat QR code: "Scan me."

Liu Zihong watched his movements and whispered, "What are you doing?"

Zhou Ling said: "Make friends before the game, and you can use your mobile phone to contact you during the game." After the words fell, a friend message popped up on WeChat: "Brother, my name is Ayouduo, what is your name?" name?"

"My name is Zhou Ling." Without waiting for Liu Zihong to stop him, Zhou Ling directly told A Youduo his name.

"You just told her your name?" Liu Zihong lowered his voice a little irritably, "Aren't you afraid that she will do something with your name?"

Zhou Ling was very calm: "I don't feel any malice."

Ayouduo smiled when she heard the words: "My brother's heart is as beautiful as a human being. That brother over there, you are too nervous, and I am not a bad person."

Liu Zihong didn't say anything, just turned his head.In his opinion, people from Miaojiang and the Central Plains have never gotten along very well. Zhou Ling's actions are tantamount to jumping into a fire pit by himself. Who knows what Miao girl will do in the future.

Zhou Ling responded to A Youduo: "My sister is also very beautiful."

A blush flew across Ayouduo's cheeks, and she giggled twice.

Behind the curtain of the rostrum, two people with buns on their heads but wearing shirts and jeans were also looking in Zhou Ling's direction.One of them said to the other: "What does that Miao girl want to do to the little elder? No, I have to report to the master in advance."

"Wait, Ning He." The other person stopped him immediately: "Don't be so excited, can you? It's normal for a young elder to make two friends. If you report something like this, Master Yuanzhen will be tossed by you crazy."

"Then what should we do? Zhifei, you know, I'm super excited right now and I can't control myself." Ning He has a baby face, which makes him look younger than his actual age. He is not as good as the little elder. When he was two years old, he often played together when he was a child. When he first entrained Qi, it was the little elder who suppressed him. It was the first and only time he saw that the aura of heaven and earth could still be so obedient.Since then, he has embarked on the road of the little elder's brainless fan, and has gone further and further.

Zhifei patted Ning He on the shoulder: "Brother, calm down. And I think your worries are unnecessary, Master Yuanzhen, Master Changping, and Master Yiping are all here, and Master Ling Xiao will also come in two days Now, there is nothing to worry about. If anyone dares to touch the little elder without a long-term eye, then he should really worry about himself."

Ning He thought about it, and it seemed to make sense, and finally took a peek at Zhou Ling's direction before leaving with Ge Fei.They also needed to comfort the young junior brother Qing He who was brought out to meet the world for the first time, because they could not be recognized by the junior elders, so the candidates for the opening ceremony were selected again and again, and finally Qing He, who was only 12 years old this year, was chosen.

This little junior was accepted as an inner disciple after the little elder came down from the mountain, and then Yi Pingzi saw him close his eyes, so he accepted him as a personal disciple. He rarely met the little elder before, and he was still young at that time, and now four years have passed , The 8-year-old child grows up to the 12-year-old, and the changes are so great that he will not be recognized easily.

Perhaps because of some induction, Zhou Ling looked at the curtain several times, but because of Ning and Zhifei's intentional cover-up, he didn't find anything.Ayouduo lay on the armrest and talked to him tirelessly, which attracted the attention of her parents.

A Miao man came over from the front row and said, "Ayouduo! Sit down." Ayouduo pursed her lips, but sat back in her seat obediently.The man said to Zhou Ling: "Sorry, my sister is naughty, I interrupted you."

Zhou Ling shook his head and said, "It's okay."

At this time, a young man dressed as a Taoist priest came over: "Um, fellow Taoist, can you let me go, my place is here."

The Miao man gave his sister a quiet look and returned to the front row.Zhou Ling and Liu Zihong made way for the young Taoist priest.The young Taoist thanked the two, and Liu Zihong nodded in return.

Zhou Ling noticed that the Taoist robe on the young Taoist priest was a bit old, and there was a bag pinned to his waist, and a hole was scratched on the bag, but he didn't seem to notice.The things in the pocket were crumbling, and Zhou Ling had to remind him: "Friend Daoist, your pocket is about to leak."

"Ah." The Taoist hurriedly looked at the pocket, and when he saw that it was true, he thanked Zhou Ling again.Just as Zhou Ling wanted to ask him if he needed to cover the bag again, he found a needle and thread from the bag and began to mend the bag on the spot.

Zhou Ling: "..." Well, it doesn't seem necessary.

Liu Zihong: "..." This is really the first time he has seen such a poor Taoist priest.

Ayouduo also widened her eyes in surprise: "Wow, you can still sew! I think this is super difficult."

"It's okay, it's okay." The young Taoist smiled shyly.

Liu Zihong leaned on the seat, with a thought rolling in his heart: Are these people really here to compete?Why is there no sense of urgency in one, two, and a half...
