New Times, New Hell

Although Yang Xin didn't understand why Yu Zhengdu and Shang Que acted as if they had already made huge concessions, but he really wanted the IP of the Ghost Festival Fair, so he finally made a concession and agreed to go back to discuss with the board of directors. Negotiate further.

Yu Zhengdu was not in a hurry either. If a large-scale project such as Feiyu Paradise really wanted to cooperate in the form of a shareholding, there were still many details that needed to be discussed in detail. That aspect was really a blind spot of his knowledge, and he would still need to The professional business team in the company goes to negotiate.

So after they reached an initial consensus with Yang Xin, they stopped talking tacitly, and didn't get entangled in more things.

The problem of the park project came to light unexpectedly, Yang Xin was in a good mood, and after we finished lunch together, he left in a hurry and hurried back to deal with the work of the park.

After the lunch break, Taoist Mu personally led Yu Zhengdu and Shang Que to visit Qinglian Temple.

Qinglian Temple has a long history, which can be traced back thousands of years ago. In its heyday, the building area of ​​the entire Taoist temple was four times as large as it is now. It was once the cultural center of Diyang City. It was destroyed and annihilated, and most of the books and classics were damaged. Today's Qinglian Temple was rebuilt in the late Qing Dynasty. After several storms, it still stands tall. It can be regarded as one of the local landmarks in Diyang.

Yu Zhengdu used to only know that Qinglian Temple is a Taoist holy place in China, and Taoist temple itself is also a well-known scenic spot. It was not until today under the introduction of Mu Daochang that he knew more about the history of Qinglian Temple that is unknown to outsiders, such as Qinglian Temple. Watch all kinds of stories of Taoist priests of the past dynasties subduing demons, among which there are even legendary deeds of inviting the gods of the heavens to fight against them.

To be honest, in the past, when Yu Zhengdu heard these stories, he mostly regarded them as the same interpretation as the strange novels, but today, he can only be amazed and amazed by them.

Qinglianguan has survived thousands of years of wind and rain, and has its own foundation and strength that cannot be shaken by outsiders.

Compared with Yu Zhengdu's flattery, Shang Que's reaction to these stories was much colder, and in many cases he even showed obvious distraction, obviously lacking interest in these stories.

Daoist Mu was not annoyed at all, Shang Que's reaction was quite normal in today's age, so he just smiled and said, "Does Layman Shang feel like a fairy tale when listening to these stories, as if they were all fabricated by the predecessors?" of?"

"Huh?" Shang Que was asked suddenly, looked over with blank eyes, and said, "That's not true, it's true, it's just a little ordinary."

Taoist Mu: "...General, normal?"

Daoist Mu is a little unbelievable. It’s okay to say you don’t believe these stories, but what’s the situation if you say you believe them?Stories like masters who have mastered the Tao cast spells and ask the gods to fight side by side are not ordinary, right?

I just heard Shang Que casually say, "It's not difficult to invite gods and ghosts. After reaching a certain level of cultivation, as long as you have a good relationship with the worshiped gods..."

Mu Daochang's beard trembled slightly: "...do you have a good relationship?"

Yuan Qing came to his senses: "Ah, yes, Luo Feng Company has developed a cross-border communication technology that can communicate with the underworld, so it is really much easier for you to establish a relationship."

Mu Dao hesitated for a moment, suddenly frustrated: "That's true."

Traditional techniques are outdated, and the future will eventually be ruled by technology.

But Yu Zhengdu knew that the boss didn't mean that at all. Seeing that Taoist Mu, who was proud of Qinglian's history, was hit, he quickly cheered: "It's not all like this. It's not so easy to invite the gods. It's not a good job." Relationships are fine."

Shang Que nodded: "Well, we have to see how the other party is feeling at that time."

Yu Zhengdu: "..." Today is also the day when the tacit understanding with the boss broke down.

But Shang Que suddenly said again: "But I have seen an unusual Taoist priest."

Daoist Mu, who was so frustrated that he couldn't speak, didn't pay attention to his "seen" statement, and only showed a curious look: "Oh, why is it not common law?"

Shang Que's eyes were deep, as if he was searching for the memory of a certain story, and he opened his mouth after a long time: "With my own power, I can overcome thousands of wronged souls, and my merits will fill the sky, and I will become a god on the ground."

Shang Que's words were only a few words, but Mu Daochang and Yuan Qing, as members of the Taoist sect, suddenly understood the astonishment of this story. After a long silence, they finally bowed and admired: "It's really not ordinary."

Taoist Mu asked again: "Which Taoist priest is this? I have never heard of such a deed."

Yuan Qing also said: "Such an expert should be included in the annals of the religion and listed as a legend."

Shang Que thought about it seriously: "It seems to be called... Zhang Fang?"

Daoist Mu: "..."

Yuan Qing: "..."

The corner of Mu Daochang's mouth twitched: "Patriarch Zhang Fang... is a lay disciple of Longhu Mountain."

Yuan Qing also said: "... I heard from fellow Taoists in Longhu Mountain that Patriarch Zhang Fang had the opportunity to testify to the ascension, but later traveled down the mountain, and I don't know what happened, and he disappeared."

Shang Que spread his hands: "It's soaring."

Taoist Mu bowed: "Please don't make fun of seniors, Layman Shang."

Although the story about Shang Que made the two priests speechless, Taoist Mu couldn't make trouble face to face. uncovered the past.

Yu Zhengdu thought it was a bit funny, but he could see that Shang Que really didn't do it on purpose this time, he was just telling the truth. He was two steps behind, leaned over to Shang Que, and deliberately teased: "Boss, I know a lot of powerful people. oh!"

Shang Que squinted at him: "It's not bad, it's not very powerful."

Yu Zhengdu patted him on the shoulder: "...Boss, in the eyes of us mortals, this is considered powerful."

……

Talking like this while walking, by the time the Qinglian temple was finished, it was already evening, Taoist Mu asked: "I wonder what the next schedule is for the two laymen? If you plan to spend the night in Diyang, you might as well stay directly in the temple Down."

Shang Que looked at Yu Zhengdu: "There is nothing else, shall we go back tonight?"

Yu Zhengdu paused for a moment, and suddenly suggested: "It's rare to come to Diyang once, why don't you stay for one more day and visit the scenic spots here?"

Yuan Qing continued: "The most famous scenic spot in Diyang is what we visited. You just finished visiting."

Yu Zhengdu: "..."

Fortunately, he just did some homework first, so he said, "Didn't there be a Ferris wheel on the Internet?"

"You like that kind." Yuan Qing was a little surprised, but introduced enthusiastically, "The Ferris wheel just opened last year, but the operation is so-so. I heard that only couples go there..."

"That's it..." Speaking of this, Yu Zhengdu couldn't make a decision on his own, and asked Shang Que, "Boss, do you want to go?"

Shang Que's expression was a little unnatural: "If you want to go that much, then go."

To be honest, I don't really want to go, but...

Yu Zhengdu nodded: "Then go."

Shang Que nodded nonchalantly: "Okay."

……

In the evening, Yu Zhengdu found Daoist Mu and said, "Master Mu, I have some questions to ask you."

He couldn't speak in front of Shang Que during the day, so he found an excuse to stay one night and come to find Taoist Mu alone.

Taoist Mu: "What is it?"

Yu Zhengdu hesitated for a moment and asked, "Is there any record about Luofeng Mountain in Qinglian Temple?"

During this period of time, he searched all the information about Luofeng Mountain on the Internet, and found many books to read, but most of the stories were compiled by later generations, and there were very few real records, let alone any records about Luofeng Mountain Ghost King. If it weren't for the fact that Jinhe Guan actually mentioned this identity and the existence of the Ghost King Seal, Yu Zhengdu would have doubted whether this identity was fabricated by Shang Que.

It was not until today that Yu Zhengdu heard about the long history of Qinglian Temple that his heart moved, thinking that Qinglian Temple might have records in this regard.

Mu Daochang said: "There are, but very few."

Coming out of Daoist Mu, Yu Zhengdu sorted out the information provided by Daoist Mu in his mind, and walked slowly back to his room. When he arrived at the door, he saw Shang Que standing against the door frame, looking down at his phone. Seeing him coming back, he immediately stood up straight and asked, "Where did you go? Why did it take you so long to come back?"

Yu Zhengdu avoided his question and asked instead: "What's the matter?"

"Aren't we going to play tomorrow?" Shang Que said, "Should we plan the itinerary in advance?"

Yu Zhengdu didn't expect him to be so serious, subconsciously said: "No need? Isn't it to go to the Ferris wheel?"

"Do you just want to go to the Ferris wheel?" Shang Que's tone was a little unnatural, "I took a look, and there is a park next to it. We can go to the park after we go to the Ferris wheel."

What kind of devil's itinerary is this...

Yu Zhengdu even wanted to suggest that Shang Que add a square dancing event, but traveling was not his real purpose, so he thought about it and agreed: "Okay."

***

Early the next morning, Shang Que looked for Yu Zhengdu energetically.

Yu Zhengdu came out with two huge dark circles under his eyes. He was troubled by Luo Fengshan's message last night, and fell asleep at dawn. Now his eyes are like dead fish eyes, without brilliance.

He originally wanted to suggest to Shang Que whether to give up traveling and sleep in the house, but before he could say anything, he heard Shang Que say in a good mood: "I have already booked the tickets for the Ferris wheel and the park on the Internet. There is a very popular restaurant next door, so you can go there directly without queuing.”

At this time, if you don’t say it, you will really be a chicken.

Yu Zhengdu: "...wait for me to change clothes."

……

The Ferris wheel is next to the Diyang Central Park. When Yu Zhengdu went there, he knew why the operation of the Ferris wheel was not good. The site selection is too harsh. The nearby is the old city, and there are no other supporting entertainment facilities. The Central Park is full of people. It's quite big, but it's usually the grandpas and aunts who come here for a walk. Except for the young couples who are dating, there really aren't many people who come here specifically to play.

Shang Que changed the ticket and asked Yu Zhengdu while waiting in line for the next round: "Do you like playing this game very much?"

"Absolutely." Yu Zhengdu said honestly, "Anyway, I wouldn't come here to play if I have nothing to do."

Shang Que's hand holding the ticket tightened suddenly, and he said "Oh", "That's it."

Just when the Ferris wheel stopped, the staff urged them: "It's your turn, hurry up."

The Ferris wheel started slowly, rising higher and higher, with a panoramic view of Diyang's scenery, but Shang Que didn't care to appreciate the scenery outside. He secretly turned his head to look at Yu Zhengdu, and saw that Yu Zhengdu was also looking at him, as if he was a little lost look.

Shang Que:!

Shang Que pretended to be calm, pointed outside as if nothing had happened, and said dryly: "The scenery is quite beautiful."

"Yeah." Yu Zhengdu suddenly came back to his senses, but only took a look outside, and said without thinking, "You have lived for so long, you should have seen a lot of scenery, right?"

Shang Que was stunned for a moment, not knowing why he suddenly asked this, but he still thought about it seriously, and replied lightly: "Not many."

The Ferris wheel's itinerary was very short. It was still very early when I came down from the top, so there was nothing wrong with it. Yu Zhengdu was arranged by Shang Que to stroll in the central park.

Today is a working day, and the park is completely dominated by grandpas and aunts. Yu Zhengdu walked absent-mindedly. Shang Que saw that he had been absent-minded since early in the morning. After hesitating for a long time, he finally couldn't help but say: "You If you have anything to say, just say it."

Yu Zhengdu paused for a moment, a little vacillating, and then heard Shang Que add: "I'm listening."

Yu Zhengdu scratched his head: "It's nothing, I'm afraid you will be unhappy..."

Shang Que's eyes widened unconsciously: "I won't."

Yu Zhengdu couldn't make up his mind, and unconsciously kicked the pebbles beside his feet. At this moment, there was a heart-piercing quarrel, and an aunt shouted: "You are not allowed to go, you are crazy—— "

Then there was an old man: "You are stupid, Master Jueyin said, I am a predestined person, do you know how many people can't ask for it—"

Yu Zhengdu turned his head to look, and saw an elderly couple hustling towards this side, the aunt and uncle were grabbing a small bag in their hands, and the uncle simply got ruthless, pushed the aunt to the ground, and took the small bag Just run: "When I go to the Paradise of Elysium in the future, you will know that it is all worth it."

The aunt sat down on the ground, thumped the ground and cried, "Go to the Paradise of Elysium, you gave him all the money, we can't live on now—"

But the uncle didn't listen to her words at all, and ran away in a hurry.

Seeing this, Yu Zhengdu hurried over to help his aunt, and asked with concern: "Auntie, are you okay?"

"I can't go on, I can't go on this day!" The aunt stood up tremblingly, her body looked like she didn't have any serious problems, she just kept beating her chest, "What can I do in the future— —”

Yu Zhengdu originally didn't want to ask about other people's family affairs, but seeing his aunt crying like this, he couldn't help but ask, "Auntie, did something happen to your family?"

When he asked, it could be regarded as a chatterbox for the aunt, and the aunt immediately grabbed his arm and cried: "Just now that is my old man, Lao Liu, who was brainwashed by the Jueyin master, insisting that he and the Buddha Destined, I can go to the Paradise of Ultimate Bliss in the future, but now I am going crazy, I must donate all my family's money to Master Jueyin!"

"Ah?" Yu Zhengdu didn't expect this story to contain so much information, and he was a little confused for a while, and he couldn't comment casually, so he just said dryly, "The uncle is too impulsive."

"Wow, it's not just him." Aunt Liu gritted her teeth resentfully, "Many people believe in Master Jueyin, and several of my neighbors are also making a fuss about it."

Yu Zhengdu was surprised: "So powerful?"

"Are you from another place? You don't even know Master Jueyin?" Aunt Liu asked.

Yu Zhengdu nodded: "Yes."

"That's no wonder." Aunt Liu scolded and said, "Master Jueyin just came to Diyang to preach the Dharma recently, and he preached the Dharma here in the park. Believers, my neighbor used to be a believer in Qinglian Temple, but now I don’t go to Qinglian Temple. I go to listen to Master Jueyin’s lectures every day. He also said that if he can be blessed by Master Jueyin, he can go to the Land of Ultimate Bliss after death. Now a Everyone is crazy, rushing to donate money to him..."

The corners of Yu Zhengdu's mouth twitched when he heard it: "Why does it sound like a cult?"

"It's a cult!" Aunt Liu gritted her teeth.

"Jin Na Luo?" Shang Que seemed to have noticed something wrong, and frowned slightly, "Isn't that just a little god of music? There are lessons for this?"

The little god of music...

Yu Zhengdu didn't know much about the gods of Buddhism, but it didn't prevent him from being shocked by Shang Que's words.

Aunt Liu nodded straightly: "That's right, that's right, they just advertise that people with predestined relationship can hear the music of the Paradise of Elysium, I think it's just farting!"

The more she talked, the angrier she got, she pushed away Yu Zhengdu and ran forward: "No, I have to stop again, otherwise how will I live in the future!"

Yu Zhengdu asked Shang Que: "Shall we go and have a look too?"

Shang Que stared at him for a while, with no expression on his face, but his tone was a little cold: "Then go and have a look."

It was rare for Yu Zhengdu to subtly feel Shang Que's displeasure. He seemed to feel something faintly, but he couldn't distinguish it for a while.

However, he was very sure of one thing.

It is best for the Master Jueyin to be able to play music from the Paradise of Ultimate Bliss.

Otherwise, Shang Que would probably send him directly to the Paradise of Ultimate Bliss.

The author has something to say: Master Jueyin: Ascension to heaven...

Xiao Kui's dating plan was blocked by the mage, very angry, the nutrient solution can quench the anger!

Change the content of Daochang, this paragraph has nothing to do with Zhengdu, it's just Xiaokui's own memories.
