Returning from the abyss

Chapter 709 Recognition
Qi Mei's lazy look, I'm afraid he has never made such an expression in his life.

Anger, panic and unbelievable emotions were mixed together, compared with Qian Yipeng's intuitive grief last night, it gave people a different look.Lu Ning turned around and looked at Qi Mei silently.

Qi Mei and Lu Ping - the relationship between this pair of senior brothers should actually be very good.Although Lu Ping was always dissatisfied with Qi Mei's poor level of Taoism, he didn't really belittle his junior because of it. On the contrary, at the beginning Qi Mei made a phone call and he drove over directly by car.And Qi Mei should also respect this somewhat upright senior brother in his heart. His overly upright character is different from Qi Mei's smooth way of life, but because of this, Qi Mei has seen a lot of other Taoist priests in different ways. Personality, only to know how rare this is.

"Let's... let's go to Dadong Road, okay? Let's at least take a look, at least let me take a look..."

Qi Mei's voice trembled, as if begging.He was not a person with big ideas in the first place, after the initial surprise, now he has lost his sense of proportion and seems to be in a state of disorientation.

"We will go, whether it is Daoist Lu Ping, or Mr. Jin and Sister Song, there must be a result." Lu Ning said, "But Qi Mei, now we already know...the opponent's strength is so strong that even they can't help it." Unexpectedly, that group of ghosts with special weapons should be the hidden guy we were looking for."

"so what?"

"We still have to find a way to meet Eye View Liulu for the last time." Lu Ning said, "We must determine the opponent's strength. It may be okay if you give up at this point, but there is a high probability that we will see that person again."

"You? Still want to see? Nonsense! In the future, if you encounter such a thing, run away, such a powerful character can't hide... I... I have to go back to the mountain and tell Master..." Qi Mei patted In his own head, "Then when do we leave?"

Lu Ning glanced at Chen Hang and said, "Get everyone up, we don't have any protection anymore."

Dongchuan Hotel on Dadong Road has been blocked at this moment.Many policemen and people in special costumes came and went in and out of the hotel foyer, communicating.From the outside, the hotel looks like it’s on fire. Some ordinary citizens are taking pictures in the distance, but as long as you get closer, someone will come to question you.

When Lu Ning and his party arrived, they were immediately noticed by two people patrolling the outside. They immediately called Lu Ning to stop and walked forward.

The policeman took out the notebook from his pocket, while the other man scanned Lu Ning and the group with sharp eyes, and frowned after seeing it.

"Irrelevant people are not allowed to approach here!"

"You are... the unconventional handling team?" Qi Mei looked carefully at the man's uniform and said, "I'm a Taoist priest. My senior brother came here yesterday to subjugate demons. I want to know how the situation is."

The man looked up at Qi's eyebrows carefully, and said with a complicated expression: "Your brother? What's your name?"

"Lu Ping."

He took out a notebook and flipped through it: "Which faction?"

"Chengyun Temple."

He sighed, raised his head and aligned his eyebrows and said: "Unfortunately, your senior brother's name was not included in the list of people who left the registration last night. He may have died. Do you have a unique secret method to track down and contact you? We still hope to send everyone The martyrs are placed with their first names."

Qi Mei's emotions were a little hard to suppress, Lu Ning hurriedly tugged him, and Qi Mei nodded: "Yes, I... have some way to recognize senior brother."

"Let me get in touch, are all of you insiders? You can't go in too much at a time."

"Li Wenyue is following me...and Yan Zidan, can the rest wait outside?" Qi Mei looked at the crowd.

"Then Mr. Jin and Sister Song will trouble you to ask together." Chen Hang said, "We... don't understand these things."

"Yes. Please ask again, is there any news about Jin Yuntai of the Ghost Control Sect and Song Caiwei of Qizong?" Qi Mei asked again.

"No. Last night, there were only two disciples of the Ghost Control Sect who were stopped outside because they arrived late. The Qi Sect is not on the list. At least no one who is still alive has come." The man took out the communicator and sent a message. After a while, I took a photo of Qi Mei, Lu Ning and Yan Zidan, and nodded: "You can go in, take the elevator to the lobby on the third floor, and ask our team members."

Qi Mei thanked her again and again, and led Lu Ning and Yan Zidan into the hotel.

"Are they the official group?" Lu Ning asked.

"Yes, although they don't know Taoism, they are equipped with first-class good equipment. My senior brother said that to deal with ordinary ghosts, even if they can't see them, they can scare them away with the weapons on their bodies."

Qi Mei frowned and walked towards the elevator: "But the people who lead this group must be Taoist priests trained by the government. They must be very powerful. Otherwise, it would be impossible to force those sects and sects to leave their names last night. Now the matter of Zaoyuanzhuang is regarded as a It's getting big...Senior brother, oh senior brother, he is obviously not needed."

The elevator went up to the third floor, and when the door opened, a choking smell of incense came in. Lu Ning covered her mouth and nose with her sleeve, frowned and glanced at the "fairy-filled" corridor outside.Qi Mei didn't care, and walked over directly.This floor was originally a cafeteria, but of course it has been requisitioned now.

There were several members of the processing team here. Qi Mei found the person at the entrance of the cafeteria and asked in a low voice before being allowed to enter.There are neatly arranged "chrysalis" wrapped in black cloth embroidered with runes, and Qi Mei gasped when he saw this.

Between these "chrysalis", a man wearing glasses and of an indeterminate age squatted in front of one of them to check.After Qi Mei came in, the man stood up—he was tall and leggy, close to 1.9 meters tall, with a serious expression, and Qi Mei's lack of momentum disappeared in front of him in an instant.

"I've received a report that someone from Chengyun Temple was involved in this battle and lost track of it." The man folded his arms, "You are here to identify the corpse, aren't you?"

"Yes, my name is Qi Mei."

"Huang Xun, I am the deputy team leader who is here to deal with this incident." The man stretched out his hand and shook Qi's eyebrows, "Please forgive me, we respect every hero who dares to fight against evil."

"Yes... yes, thank you. Excuse me... can I try to start?"

"No problem, orthodox Taoism will not be affected by the wrapping of secret texts. If you want to use heresy, please let me know in advance." Huang Xun said bluntly, "If you have any questions that you don't understand, please ask me in advance."

Qi Mei nodded, took out a somewhat old piece of wood from his pocket, walked to the corpses, and muttered something in a low voice.Lu Ning and Yan Zidan didn't bother him, but stood aside.Huang Xun didn't stay idle after Qi Mei started to chant the mantra, but continued to squat down to check the body.

Yan Zidan took out her sword-shaped pendant from her pocket. She and Qian Yipeng's pendant, Song Caiwei, was handed over to the two of them before, saying that it was to replenish her fighting power before getting her favorite ghost weapon, but now she didn't expect became a relic.

"Excuse me..." Yan Zidan walked carefully to Huang Xun's side.

"Is there anything I can do for you?" Huang Xun got up and asked.

"In fact, we still have two Taoist priests who have not returned here. This is something that one of them gave us. I don't know if we can use this..."

Huang Xun took the pendant, folded his hands together, moved his fingers slightly, and then looked into the corner.

"Please come with me."

At the end of the line of corpses, Huang Xun put the sword-shaped pendant on the corpse, then nodded: "The echo does come from here, please wait for me to check the number."

He got up and went to the door to ask the team members there something, walked back a few minutes later, and asked, "Do you two want to see the condition of the corpse?"

"Uh...Excuse me, is it confirmed?" Yan Zidan asked.

"There should be no mistakes or omissions. This body was found in the corridor on the fifth floor. It should have been besieged by about five ghosts. We found some remnants of ghosts that were eliminated at the scene. If it is really Qizong Song Caiwei, its strength It is normal to achieve this level, but it is a pity... Heaven is jealous of talents."

"These corpses are wrapped in this kind of cloth because they will be changed by ghosts?" Lu Ning asked.

"Yes, it's a pity that most of these corpses look horrible, but the most important thing is that if the people killed by the ghosts don't devour their souls, there may be a high number of ghosts in the future, so special means are needed to collect them. Of course, this level Great wars have rarely happened in recent years."

"Did you know that there is a white ceremony being held here in Zaoyuanzhuang?"

Huang Xun raised his eyebrows: "In fact, when I arrived last night, I did encounter ghosts who used the power of the earth's veins to cultivate the Dharma body, but they also understood our origin, and they did not pester us, and quickly evacuated. Judging from the scene, Baishen The subordinates should not be the main culprits who killed so many comrades."

Lu Ning knew that he probably misunderstood something, so she said: "No, what I want to ask is, after you have dealt with this incident, will you deal with Bai Li together?"

"What happened to you all?" Huang Xun frowned.

"Although it may not have much to do with this place, last night we..." Lu Ning simply told about the murder of Qian Yipeng's parents and the disappearance of three members of his family. But I don’t know if what happened last night is related to this.”

"Zaoyuanzhuang... We didn't know the situation of Baili here before, but because the Taoist priests are always wandering around Gengwu City recently, it is difficult to distinguish the true and false news we received." Huang Xun rubbed his chin, "Group The chief is still in Gengwu City, and we only come here to deal with the situation because it is too serious."

At this moment, Qi Mei squatted down in front of a corpse, crying bitterly.

Huang Xun looked at him sympathetically, gestured to the team member at the door, apologized to Lu Ning and Yan Zidan, and walked to Qi Mei.

He went to comfort others without mentioning that Yan Zidan and Lu Ning stood in front of Song Caiwei's body, neither of them looked particularly good.

"We have lost the protection of the Taoist leaders." Lu Ning said, "Under the current situation, it is not realistic to seek more protection-if we ask the leader for help, we may be able to get better protection, but will inevitably lose our freedom to explore."

"I know that we cannot lose our freedom of movement now."

Yan Zidan knew what Lu Ning meant. During the Solitaire game, everyone may have to continue to explore various places, and at worst they have to go to Tongfang Town to see the president's situation.The death of Lu Ping and others also proved that the protection of Taoist priests is not absolutely safe. If they cannot continue to investigate and participate in Solitaire because of protection, the result will be even worse.

"Decided?" Lu Ning glanced at Yan Zidan.

"It's very risky... Maybe seeking protection is a better way." Yan Zidan smiled wryly, "But I don't want to die suddenly in ignorance."

After finishing speaking, Yan Zidan knelt down and picked up the sword-shaped pendant, and said in a low voice, "Sister Song, thank you...I will make good use of this weapon."

At this time, Lu Ning's cell phone vibrated, and she glanced, there was news on the 03:30 news forum.It seems that someone responded to Yang Cai's situation in the hospital?She walked to a place near the window and opened the forum.

However, this news is not about the Second Hospital, but a response to the previous news sent by Lu Ning - she previously sent the second and third videos taken by Chen Hang in the hospital with the sound, and passed the review of the forum , became a news of the day, and now someone sent her a message in the private message of the news.

【Excuse me, did you really take this photo in Zaoyuanzhuang recently? 】

Lu Ning thought for a moment, then answered.

[Yes, it was the footage shot the night before the news, the main part was not edited, is there any problem? 】

[You replied quite quickly.This picture... Since it was approved, it must be something that the forum thinks is real, right?It's just that I can't believe it. 】

[Can't believe what?Is there anyone you know in here? 】

【Do you really want to know?It's okay, you can continue to investigate, but don't say you got the news from someone when uploading.In the part where the three people went to the morgue at the beginning, I was familiar with the voice of a person. You just need to ask Brother Yao here, and you will definitely know something.That's all I have to tell you, I hope you can send another news. 】

【it is good. 】

Sure enough, the man didn't reply any more messages, Lu Ning pondered for a while, then turned and came back.

"What's the news?" Yan Zidan asked.

"Someone anonymously told me about Bai Li's information, but this person is very interesting." Lu Ning whispered, and glanced at Huang Xun, "It seems that this processing team is quite powerful, and it doesn't have much influence. Small."

"what?"

"It's nothing, we need to search here to see if there is a man named Brother Yao, the medicine of medicine. Find this person and check his details."

"That sounds like a nickname."

"But this nickname should be widely known. After all, it can be seen from the video alone. This group of people has been arranged for a long time and has a wide range of contacts. As long as they communicate with the outside world, people always need an identity."
