Bu Tian Gang

In the early morning of the next day, before dawn, Long Shen had already woken up while Winter Solstice was soundly asleep.

He possessed himself and touched the other person's forehead, and Dong Zhi immediately realized it. He opened his eyes in a daze, and saw Long Shen standing by the bed fully dressed, and his drowsiness disappeared immediately.

"This is going away?"

Long Shen hummed: "You go to sleep again, it's not five o'clock yet."

Dong Zhi rubbed his eyes, got up, gave him a hug, and quickly let go.

"Master, come back early, everything is going well."

"Okay." Taking a deep look at him, Long Shen turned and left without looking back.

As soon as he left the house, he was that armored, invulnerable Long Shen again.

Leaving the Special Administrative Bureau, Long Shen took a taxi to an ordinary residential area in the urban area. After twists and turns in that maze-like area, he finally arrived at his destination, swiped his card to enter the door, and the elevator went straight to the ninth floor. He stepped out of the elevator , knocking on the door of one of the two families.

After a while, Tang Jing came to open the door, and behind him, Wu Bingtian had also arrived.

A map was spread out in the living room, which was the internal structure of Atsuta Shrine.

"The news from Maoshan just came." Wu Bingtian said, "They said that Li Ying's soul lamp will not be extinguished, and it may not last long. We have to act quickly."

Ding Lan's soul lamp has been extinguished, Yu Buhui has no soul lamp, and his whereabouts are unknown, and now Li Ying's is left.

Tang Jing said: "Yin Yu may have deliberately killed Ding Lan, leaving Li Ying behind, and luring us to go."

But knowing the other party's intentions, they have to follow suit.

In order to rescue Li Ying and Yu Buhui and bring back Ding Lan, the three deputy directors of the Special Administrative Bureau personally dispatched two of them. Although Tang Jing is the director of the branch, he is also very capable. .

Wu Bingtian smiled wryly: "Maoshan attaches great importance to Li Ying. If we don't make a move, they will. I have to say something to stabilize them for the time being."

If Li Ying hadn't entered the Special Management Bureau now, he might have been selected as the next generation head teacher of Maoshan, which shows how much he is valued by the elders of Maoshan's sect.But Maoshan is certainly powerful. In terms of organization and resources, after all, it can’t compare with the Special Administration Bureau. This time, Li Ying’s master proposed to come with them to save people in person, but Wu Bingtian also rejected it. The more people the better.

Tang Jing said: "Director Wu will go in person, they should be relieved."

"To be honest, I haven't made a move for several years, so it's a bit hypocritical." Just in front of Long Shen and Tang Jing, Wu Bingcai spoke the truth.

The main reason is that they know that Otowa Hatohiko will definitely set up a trap to wait for them to come to the door, but they don't know what methods the other party has. Although the Special Management Bureau has used various channels to inquire, if the other party really wants to hide it, how can there be any news? Coming out, like the secrets of the Special Administration Bureau, most outsiders have no way of knowing.

At this time, Long Shen put the box he had been carrying on the table and opened it with the key he carried with him. Wu Bingtian saw that there was a special spell restriction added to it. Even if someone got the key, he couldn't open the box.

Just as he was about to inquire, he saw light leaking from the box. When the box was fully opened, the whole room was filled with light, dazzling, and even the headlights in the room were eclipsed by the contrast of the light.Wu Bingtian and Tang Jing had to turn their heads slightly to avoid the dazzling light.

Long Shen stretched out his hand to wipe it, and all the light disappeared instantly, and the object itself, which was covered by the light just now, finally revealed its true appearance.

Tang Jing showed shock, while Wu Bingtian took a deep breath.

"This is—the four-element fixed star lamp?!"

"Elder Zong gave it to me." Long Shen said, letting Tang Jing and Wu Bingtian step forward to inspect it carefully.

"But isn't this lamp always useless?" Wu Bingtian murmured.

The candlestick is small and exquisite, enough to be held in the hand. The place where the candle was originally lit was empty. The candlestick is square in shape, with divine beasts wrapped around it, which is lifelike. The whole lamp is dark green and carved from jade.

But what astonished Wu Bingtian and Tang Jing was not the age and carving process when it was so ingenious enough to become a national treasure, but the mysterious origins surrounding it and its top-secret status as a Special Administration Bureau.

Tang Jing watched carefully for a while, then raised her head suddenly, and looked at Long Shen: "It's the old man...?!"

Long Shen nodded.

Wu Bingtian came back to his senses, saw their expressions, and soon understood what Long and Tang were playing.

"Elder Zong sacrificed too much." He sighed, but undoubtedly, with this lamp, their chances of winning against Otowa Hatohiko were much higher.

Long Shen: "Elder Zong also wants to be safe. If you don't need it, that's the best."

He closed the box again.

"Has a new identity come?"

"coming."

Tang Jingdao took out three documents and three sets of documents from the suitcase.ID cards, passports, and various forms are all available.

"From now on, after entering the country, we will be a newlywed couple traveling to Japan with our old father. When we arrive near the Atsuta Shrine, someone will pick us up. Then I will have a new identity, and you will act separately. In this way, even if Otoyu expected that we would come to the door, he would not know when we would show up, and if we found that something was wrong, we could get out in time and go another day."

Wu Bingtian said casually: "Who is playing the old father?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he found that both Tang Jing and Long Shen were looking at him.

Wu Bingtian: ...

"How old am I? Can't Long Ju play the old father?" He was very unconvinced and protested.

Tang Jing said coolly: "Then it will be like a rich man traveling with his mistress and bodyguards."

Wu Bingtian's eyes lit up: "This identity is not bad!"

It seemed quite refreshing to think of Long Shen calling him boss with a straight face.

Tang Jing vetoed it without even thinking about it: "No, the car and accommodation to pick us up in Nagoya have been arranged. It doesn't meet the status of a wealthy person at all. If you look at it, it will be fake, and you can save a little money!"

Wu Bingtian: ...This sentence sounds very familiar. It seems that it was blocked by him when the East China Branch asked the General Administration to increase the budget last year.

If it is true that Feng Shui turns, the retribution will come quickly.

Seeing that both of them had no objections, Tang Jing handed them the information.

"Your hairstyles and face shapes have to be changed, as well as the expressions on your faces and the tone of your speech. I will do the makeup, and you have to practice your expressions and tone yourself. This is the script."

And the script?Wu Bingtian had a headache. Seeing that Long Shen had no objection, he had no choice but to swallow his muttering back.

Picking up his own script and flipping through it, Wu Bingtian was immediately delighted.

"It seems that my role is not a big deal. Have you played this kind of role before in Dragon Bureau?"

Long Shen shook his head: "Let me try."

He picked up the script and began to memorize it seriously.

……

A day later, two men and a woman walked out of the building.

The woman is very young, with broken hair in front of her forehead, long hair shawl, wearing clothes that try to look more fashionable, but instead have a somewhat nondescript taste. The other old man is similar, with trousers and a shirt, but the shirt is loose and worn The size of the loop is a little bit different from the belt, and there is a bald spot on the top of his head, which is commonly known as the "Mediterranean".

The young man who looks like a woman's husband is a little better, but it's not much better. His hair seems to have not been combed in the morning, and the back of his head is raised. He is carrying a backpack and dragging a suitcase. Traveling is like the anxiety of being late for work.

"The subway station has a direct route to the airport, let's take the subway!" The young man said to the other two.

The woman glared at him: "You have to save even that little money, can't you just take a taxi!"

The young man didn't speak, and the woman went to take a taxi with her high heels on.

The old man babbled in the back: "What kind of car is it, the subway is the subway!"

The man smiled wryly: "Dad, forget it, let her take a taxi, it's a bit troublesome to go to the subway with so much luggage!"

As soon as others listen to these two or three sentences of dialogue, they can immediately guess the relationship between the three people.

A young man and a woman are a couple. They may have just been married and have no children. The old man may be the father of the woman, because the man speaks to him with a little politeness, not as casually as his biological parents.

This must be the family going out to play, and it seems that they should be traveling far for the first time, so they are in a hurry, and they show off intentionally or unintentionally.

Passers-by who have deduced the above information must praise their Sherlock Holmes-like observation skills, but they will never think that these three people are just entering the play according to the script.

If the winter solstice is here, we must give an Oscar to all three present.

Acting requires a full set. Long Shen, Tang Jing and Wu Bingtian, dressed as a family of three, embarked on a journey to Japan with large and small luggage, and their first stop was not Nagoya, but Nagoya. Tokyo, where normal tourists go.

On the other hand, Winter Solstice, who stayed in the capital, began to prepare for the exchange conference.

Time flies quietly amidst these trivial matters. After New Year's Day, the new year officially arrives, and the day of their departure is getting closer and closer.

He copied a few copies of the materials of the exchange conferences over the years, distributed them to the other five people, and was busy making reports to apply for various wound medicines that might be used this time. It is estimated that they will play tricks on the competition this year, but last time Winter Solstice was with Long Shen, and after listening to Carlos say a few words, I feel that this time may be the most difficult test in history.Life is important, but team honor is equally important. If you lose your life and still fail to get a good ranking, it will be called losing your wife and losing your army.

Long Shen and Wu Bingtian both went out on official business, Director Jiang didn't care about the specific affairs, and the remaining executive deputy director Song Zhicun was easy to talk to, and he agreed with the report with a wave of his hand, and directly approved double copies of Shangqing Pill for them. The amount of wound medicine was also very considerable. When Wu Bingtian came back to take a look, he almost lost his breath.

But this is a matter for the future. Now Deputy Director Wu is still at a loss, and Dong Zhi is also happy to go to Liu Qingbo and the others for a meeting with a reply.

"The last session was held in the Valley of the Kings in Egypt. The theme was to get rid of the curse. The last session was a ghost ship. You have all the information on the content of the competition. You can freely speculate on what content the organizer may hold this time. , in order to be prepared. Also, please tell me about your respective fields of expertise. I mainly use swords, combined with talismans, which can be regarded as both talismans and swords."

Winter Solstice didn't count inviting the gods, after all, Long Shen had strictly forbidden him to use this method in the future.

Liu Qingbo said: "I use a sword, the sword is Zhong Kui's Subduing Demon Sword."

He also specially took out the sword, unsheathed it and pulled a sword flower, the sharp sword light flashed everyone's eyes instantly.

Dong Zhi was speechless about his showing off, but it can be seen from this that Liu Qingbo is very happy to get this sword. He has never seen him show off the Feijing sword or Yinxiu sword before.

Thinking of this, Winter Solstice couldn't help shedding tears of sympathy for the two stepmother-raised swords.

All the experts present were experts in using swords, and they were really interested in this sword with a simple and rude name, but its origin is very extraordinary. Li Han'er even asked Liu Qingbo to come and see what happened, but this demon-subduing sword seemed to be very spiritual, and it was in Li Han'er's hands It began to buzz and tremble, and returned to normal when it returned to Liu Qingbo's hand.

Liu Si didn't think too carefully. He was in the same class as Dongzhi Liu Qingbo, and later he was classified into the second group like Dongzhi. Although they didn't have a particularly close relationship with each other, they were undoubtedly more close than others.

After seeing Liu Qingbo's introduction, Liu Si took the initiative and said: "I use a whip, and the whip is made of willow wood. It is effective against ghosts, but it is not effective against demons."

With the opening of the three, the others will also cooperate.

Li Han'er said: "I was born in Maoshan, and I have learned some swords, but I am more good at talismans."

Having said that, she took a look at Dong Zhi before continuing: "But it won't cause thunder."

Winter Solstice was baffled by her look, and she reacted when she said she couldn't induce thunder, and hurriedly said: "Whether it attracts thunder or not, it doesn't mean anything, last time we dealt with the demon clone, the thunder method didn't have much effect on it. "

This reassuring word obviously didn't have any effect, Li Han'er nodded slightly and didn't speak any more.

Yang Shoudao: "I only know how to use a sword, and I can almost unite the sword with the human."

What he said was ordinary and understated, but Liu Qingbo couldn't help itching, thinking about finding someone to discuss after the meeting.

What is the state of the unity of human and sword? Liu Qingbo is also approaching that state, but arriving soon is different from already arriving. After all, it is still different.

Yang Shouyi is worthy of being the leader of the new generation of Yuanming Palace. If it hadn't been for the winter solstice trick last time, it might not be so easy to decide who will win and who will lose.

The advantage of Winter Solstice is that he knows more complicated things and can be integrated. Although Yang Shouyi specializes in kendo, his proficiency and comprehension in kendo cannot be surpassed by others after a few years of practice.It can be seen that in the group of six this time, everyone is indeed capable, but whether they can hold down these people depends on Dong Zhi's own ability.

The winter solstice was stressful, but it was more about motivation. Long Shen had high hopes for him, and he naturally didn't want to hear the news of their defeat when the other party came back.

Zhang Song finally said, "I am a dual-cultivator of talismans and swords, and I mainly focus on fire talismans."

Winter Solstice remembered them one by one, nodded and said: "When you go out this time, if you have any opinions, you can ask me in private, and don't be too impulsive when you encounter external problems, after all, we are not only representing ourselves."

These words sound harsh, but everyone can't say anything to refute them. After all, it is a fact. It doesn't matter if there is infighting here. If you go out and fight infighting, it will only make people laugh.

"Do you have any other needs or suggestions? While you are still in China, we will do what you can." Winter Solstice picked up a pen and paper and prepared to record.

Liu Qingbo had long felt that the mother-in-law and mother-in-law of the winter solstice were endlessly chattering. As soon as the other party finished speaking, he spoke enthusiastically: "I think since this year is hosted by the Yankees, according to their style, they may directly give us a hodgepodge of zombies. Maybe that The key item of Rao Shizi is hidden in a certain zombie body, not only do you need to defeat it, but you also have to disembowel every zombie, digging your heart and soul to find it!"

Crowd: ...

Winter Solstice's mouth twitched: "Your taste is really strong!"

Liu Qingbo rolled his eyes: "It's not that I have a strong taste, it's that Yankees have a strong taste! Haven't you watched horror movies? They are always bloody and bloody, and they have a special complex for zombies. According to the information Isn’t it true that no zombies have appeared before? Doesn’t that mean that the possibility is high? Let me see, there are just a few days left, we can borrow the zombie simulation system from the bureau, go in and practice, and keep the championship!”

Li Han'er said slowly: "Many countries have purchased that simulation system, and it is precisely because everyone thinks that the possibility of zombies appearing is the highest. I think the organizer will not choose this content."

Liu Qingbo was completely overthrown, very unhappy, he smiled and said: "Then what is your opinion?"

Li Han'er said: "Since it is known that it is held in a certain island in the Atlantic Ocean, I think that the content may be related to Atlantis. We may need to go deep into the sea to find the props requested by the organizer, so the enemy we face may also be in the sea. Alien beast."

Although it was all guesswork out of thin air, this guess was well-founded, and Liu Qingbo really couldn't think of a rebuttal for a while.

Winter Solstice said: "Are you all good at water?"

He got an affirmative answer, so he asked Li Han'er: "Does Fellow Daoist Li have anything to add?"

Li Han'er shook her head: "We don't have any more news now, so we can only respond to changes with the same."

Winter Solstice said: "I got two pieces of news from Bureau Song. One is that Japan will definitely send an onmyoji to participate this time. You must know that because of the stele, we have formed a relationship with Japan. Although Otoba Hatohiko cannot control In the entire Japanese Yin-Yang world, there are many contestants who have malicious intentions towards us, so please be careful, but Director Song means that if the other party stays calm and does not cause trouble, we don’t have to take the initiative to provoke them.”

After a pause, he continued: "Another piece of news is that in the last session, that is, He Yu's session, they won the first place. At that time, they had an accident with a practitioner from England during the competition, and one person died. , The UK did not participate in the last session, but this year the UK signed up, and there is a contestant on the list, which is the sister of the deceased, Grace Smith, she may be coming for us, we should also pay attention.”

Liu Qingbo curled his lips: "It means that we are facing internal and external troubles this time, making enemies on all sides, and we are precarious!"

Winter Solstice showed him a bright smile: "Student, you have learned idioms very well, so, wish us good luck!"

Half a month may not be long, but when the winter solstice removed the bandages on their hands, they finally boarded a special plane to Los Angeles and officially embarked on this journey.

The reason why the organizer chose Los Angeles as the base is because of the consideration of practitioners from all over the world, and there must be some unique people among them. There is a world-famous movie theater nearby, and no matter how weird the dress is, it becomes commonplace. When you see it, you will only think that it is a staff member or a tourist, and it will not cause any fuss.

When the Dongzhi group of six got off the plane, there was a special car waiting outside to pick them up. There was a driver and a young man in the car.

"Hello, welcome to Los Angeles. This is a very dynamic city. You will fall in love with it after staying for a day! Oh, by the way, my name is Aiwen. Who is the leader?"

"I, Winter Solstice." Dong Zhi stretched out his hand and saw that he opened his mouth, unable to pronounce the word "Zhi" behind him, and could only read it as Dong Zhi for a long time, so he couldn't help laughing, "Just call me Dong, you are 51 Team member?"

Ai Wen was very enthusiastic and outgoing, and winked when shaking hands with him: "To be precise, it should be the logistics staff of Group 51. I am an ordinary person, but I really want to join you, so I am working hard on marksmanship recently!"

Including the winter solstice, there are ten participating teams this time. Except for China, the United States, Britain, France, Russia and Japan, the others are all regional teams. For example, Southeast Asia is one team, and Africa, Northern Europe, and Southern Europe also have one team each. The team, India originally wanted to form a separate team, but it was canceled for some reason and merged into the Southeast Asian region.

In fact, this kind of situation is not uncommon. After all, practitioners are not casually grabbed, and those who disdain to integrate into the world like the black-robed head-down master will not come to participate in this kind of exchange.

Aiwen said that they came to Los Angeles on the penultimate winter solstice. The other teams except Africa have already stayed in the hotel. Starting tomorrow, there will be three consecutive days of meetings and exchanges. Allen, who wants to be a frontline member of the 51 group, is very excited He said that he was given the opportunity to observe the meeting.

Liu Si and Yang Shouyi were not very fluent in English, so they didn't speak much, and Li Han'er and Zhang Song didn't chatter endlessly. Since Winter Solstice was the team leader, he came forward to communicate with Ai Wen. The others just listened and didn't talk along the way. Young Master Liu Qingbo has a bad temper, at most he would ask a few words occasionally, and he didn't bother to drag a support staff to inquire endlessly.

In fact, the winter solstice has already asked what everyone wants to know.

Aiwen told them that they were staying at the Franklin Hotel. When he said this, Aiwen's face was a little weird. Winter Solstice gave Liu Qingbo a wink, and the latter immediately went online on his mobile phone and found relevant information about the Franklin Hotel.Within a few minutes, they all knew about the winter solstice. This hotel is very famous not only because it is located near the theater of the Hollywood Awards Ceremony and has a superior geographical location, but also because of its famous supernatural events. It is said that there are many People come here especially to stay at this hotel, just to see the ghosts of famous people.

But if that's the case, Ivan will definitely not look weird, but will tell them all kinds of supernatural events in the hotel with joy, because even if he is only the logistics of Team 51, he must have heard many strange things.

Winter Solstice asked him: "Is there any other purpose in this arrangement?"

Ai Wen blinked, and his tone slowed down significantly: "It should, no."

At first glance, he is not good at lying. If he meets an old fritter, Dongzhi will have to find another way. Now it is easy. He picked up the phone and said with a smile: "If you don't tell me, I will ask Carlos directly. I know he won't lead the team this time, but as the deputy leader of Group 51, Carlos should have no reason not to know, right?"

Ivan was taken aback: "Do you know Carlos?"

Winter Solstice: "He is very familiar with my teacher. My teacher's name is Long. Maybe you have heard of it."

Ai Wen came to a sudden: "Director Long? My God, you are actually a student of Director Long!"

He suddenly became excited: "They didn't tell me that Director Long's students led the team this time! Of course I heard that Carlos told us about the dragon's deeds. They once cooperated to capture a blood demon!"

Winter Solstice really doesn't know about Long Shen's past, but having said that, his master can surpass what others have experienced in half his life if he brings it up. The future is no different from legend.

"Ivan, why did you arrange us to stay in this hotel? Tell me, if you want to join Group 51, I will recommend you to Carlos later, how about it?"

Alvin's eyes lit up: "Really?"

Winter Solstice shrugged: "However, I don't guarantee that he will admit you. I just help you write a letter of recommendation. In the end, whether you can be admitted or not depends on yourself."

Ai Wen was so happy that he was incoherent: "Thank you, thank you! As long as there is a recommendation letter, I will try my best to let him discover my bright spots!"

According to Aiwen, this hotel is a bit evil, there will be troubles every now and then, after each incident, it will be quiet for a period of time, and then troubles will follow. Ordinary people think that this is just a place where supernatural rumors arise from time to time Hotels, as one of the new and exciting attractions, do not know that the dangers are often unknown to outsiders, and the time of accidents is also very regular, usually once every one to two years, and it happens at the beginning of the new year after Christmas.

The year before last, there were monsters in the hotel. Fortunately, the 51 team discovered and dealt with them in time, so it didn’t cause big news. There was no big event last year, so they speculated that the hotel might be noisy again this year. It coincided with the exchange conference. The Americans After discussing it, we decided to let teams from various countries stay in this hotel, just to help them suppress evil and exorcise evil spirits, killing two birds with one stone.
