On the Hundred Ways of Chasing Mermaids

Xuan Du took the check handed over by the secretary in a suit, and while listening to Zhuo Dong's original words conveyed by the other party, he unabashedly looked at the thin paper in his hand.

"what is this?"

Mr. Secretary's gaze casually glanced at the Taoist priest's cloth shoes and the humble mahogany sword lying beside him, and the corner of his mouth twitched.

But soon, based on professionalism and the most basic courtesy, he adjusted his tone and explained formulaically: "The Taoist priest can write the number you want on the check amount, and then go to any nearby bank to withdraw the required money."

Speaking of this, Mr. Secretary couldn't help feeling a little absurd in his heart. Why does the current picture have a sense of sight like a third-rate gossip?

It's just that it wasn't the CEO's mother who wrote the check, but the CEO himself. The pure and kind heroine was replaced by this Taoist priest who didn't know where he came from.

"Money?"

Xuan Du's face turned serious, he understood what Zhuo Mingchen meant, and with a slight movement of his finger, the check just burned out of thin air.

secretary:"……"

Is this Taoist priest's part-time job a magic trick?

"Please tell Ms. Zhuo that if she doesn't come out, I will wait here." The Taoist priest's tone was full of firmness.

Mr. Secretary made a bitter face, and went back to the president's office empty-handed.

The Taoist chief breathed a sigh of relief, and took a sip of the coffee in front of him.The next second, with a bitter expression on his face, he secretly said, "What the hell?"

Inside the office.

After reading the documents in the morning, she raised her head, and the secretary was looking at her helplessly.

"He won't go?"

The secretary nodded, and asked curiously: "Dong Zhuo, what happened to that Taoist priest?"

what happened?Mingchen snorted coldly, wishing to go back in time immediately, to the evening a few days ago.If it happens again, she will not be lazy to save this pestering Taoist no matter what!

Just when Zhuo Mingchen had lost his evil spirit and told the secretary the story roughly, Xuan Du was also sitting seriously on the sofa, sorting out the cause and effect of this matter.

The earth has entered the Dharma-ending Age since the Ming Dynasty. Not only monsters are having a hard time, but even Taoist monks have to deliberately hide their voices and reduce their sense of existence.At this time, the livelihood of the disciples of the mountain gate became an issue that had to be considered.

At this time, in order to maintain the operation of the mountain gate, the Qingcheng faction gradually started to start their own business, and also borrowed their fame to expand the recruitment of some wealthy and powerful lay disciples.

It's just that decades have passed and times have changed. The ancestors did not expect that the uninterrupted inheritance due to wars and famines would gradually become uninterested with the wealth of worldly materials.

——The sect that was very lively in the past has been unable to recruit disciples in recent years!

Therefore, after Xuandu left the customs one day, the master told him with a dull face: he is the only one left for the new generation of disciples of the sect.His other brothers and sisters were all respectfully invited by the people down the mountain to give lectures as guest lecturers.

"I heard that there is a place called Moments, where they can write manuscripts in their spare time."

The master sighed, "In this generation, you are the only one who has achieved results in your cultivation. Go down the mountain. Whether the Qingcheng School can receive disciples next year depends on you."

As the only living advertisement, Xuandu was driven down the mountain.

Feeling the weight of his mission, he traveled east all the way to catch demons, exorcise ghosts, and preach, and he came to this bustling city of S by chance.Who knew, before he took the initiative to find the demon, the other party bumped into him and devoured a young girl in front of him.

The girl's hideous death was still vivid when she closed her eyes.

He was so angry that he wanted to find the haunted monster to avenge the girl, but the other party was extremely cunning and clever, and continued to commit crimes arrogantly even if he disappeared, it was really unbearable.

That's why he held on to a clue and didn't dare to relax - not only to find out the evil spirit, but also to protect him.

However, Zhuo Mingchen didn't know the reason, and only thought that the Taoist priest was chasing after him, trying to harm Xuan Mo and Lan Xi.

——After all, "Legend of the New White Snake" is still broadcast on TV every holiday.

---

When Ms. Zhu woke up in a daze, the sky outside the window was already glowing with white light. She moved her fingers and sat up from the sofa, her arms ached.

—Where is she, where is she?

Looking around, isn't the familiar furniture and surrounding furnishings her living room?

The clothes are well worn on the body, the leather shoes worn during the day are placed in the hallway, and the test papers brought back are placed neatly on the table in front of the sofa, everything looks normal.

It's just, just, she always feels that something is wrong.

Wiping up her sleeves, Ms. Zhu looked at her arms—no, nothing.She was not injured, and even her clothes were clean.

With a sneer, he shook his head, laughing at himself for being too stressed and cranky, picked up the phone from the table, and was about to unlock the lock on the screen to check the time.

Wait, what is this?

Ms. Zhu's gaze froze suddenly, she turned on the headlights, and brought the phone to her eyes—where did the blood come from?

On the side of the phone, there is an extra drop of dull red!

"It's really strange..." Ms. Zhu rubbed her hair, but there was no memory of this in her mind.

Forget it, forget it.

Looking at the test paper in front of her, she felt worried - she was going to teach the test paper in class today, but she still hadn't finished correcting a large part of it!

---

When she came to the office with a stack of papers in her arms, Ms. Zhu felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere in the office.Sure enough, before she could sit down, a teacher lowered her voice and helped her spread the word about the latest big event.

"What, Teacher Zhang was beaten?"

"Keep your voice down! I heard that when he came home at night, he ran into robbers. The robbers robbed him of his money and mobile phone, and beat him up again. Fortunately, someone passed by and rescued him. Otherwise, I'm afraid It's dangerous!"

Ms. Zhu's expression changed, and she asked: "Where is the place where Mr. Zhang died?"

The other party was a little surprised, as if she shouldn't ask this question: "Of course it's on the way home! I heard it's not far from his home."

"... Oh." Ms. Zhu nodded, laughing secretly at her nervousness.

"Hey, the society is really chaotic now. A student just disappeared a few days ago, and a teacher was beaten recently. Tsk tsk, Mr. Zhu, do you think someone can't understand Mr. Zhang on purpose?"

Ms. Zhu didn't even lift her head: "Who knows."

The other party snorted: "I just said that Mr. Zhang is very annoying, gossips all day long, and no one in the office likes him. However, I heard that Mr. Zhang is pursuing you recently. Is Mr. Zhu going to the hospital to see you?"

……

The first class happened to be her own class. When the class bell rang, Ms. Zhu breathed a sigh of relief, bid farewell to her talkative colleagues, and walked towards the classroom where the class was located.

"It's a strange thing," she thought silently.

After entering the door, for some reason, his eyes uncontrollably looked towards the back of the classroom, where Lanxi was looking at her with a smile on his face.

Fortunately, happy, excited, survived the catastrophe...

Emotions that are so complex that they cannot be described poured out like a flood that broke through a floodgate.

Ms. Zhu's eyes were slightly red, she coughed in disguise, stared at Lanxi, and blurted out: "Lanxi, the last big question of the exam is so easy, you didn't get full marks, go to the blackboard and do it again!"

Lancey: "..."

Did he save this person for nothing?

After Zhuo Mingchen finished the meeting, when he returned to the office, Taoist Xuandu was still sitting on the sofa, with his back straight, his eyes closed, his flawless face and the long eyelashes made Zhuo Ming Chen couldn't help complaining secretly——

The roots of troubles!

Oh no, a beast in clothes!

There is no way to hurt her relatives!

Zhuo Mingchen snorted softly, and was about to turn his head back to the office, when suddenly, Xuan Du on the sofa opened his eyes and stared at her: "You still don't want to say it?"

Turn around, open the door, tomorrow morning this thing will be done in one go.

"Where are you going?" the priest asked.

"Toilet, do you want to follow?"

Xuan Du resentfully sat back on the sofa.

After going out, before taking a few steps, the phone rang in the morning, and the answer——

"Hey?"

"Dong Zhuo, I'm Kang Nan."

"What's the matter?" Zhuo Mingchen's face showed displeasure.

"For the project payment, can you give me a week's grace, I am old and young, please show kindness..."

"No discussion." Zhuo Mingchen neatly interrupted the other party's next words.It's a joke, why didn't I see him think about his own family when he embezzled public funds.

There was a noise from the opposite side, and soon, a man's voice came over: "You forced me, you forced me..."

Neuropathy!

Hang up the phone tomorrow morning.

After washing his hands, he turned around, saw the figure suddenly appearing in front of him, and took a step back suddenly: "Kang Nan?"

the other side.

Mr. Secretary was in a hurry, the business partner he had met with had already arrived, but Zhuo Dong was nowhere to be seen, it would really be unreasonable to keep others waiting!

"Daoist, cough, I want to ask, have you seen Zhuo Dong?"

Xuandu opened his eyes, and with a thought, he felt something instantly, disappeared from the sofa with a swipe, and appeared in the disappearing bathroom.

"Ah!!!" This is Mr. Secretary who reacted after being frightened.

"Ah!!!" This is the lady who just walked out.

"Hooligans, this is the women's restroom!"

Mr. Secretary staggered over, looking at the empty bathroom——

"Something happened." The Taoist priest's face was already condensed.
