low-key warlock

Sunlight shines through the stone windows into the meeting hall on the second floor of the ancient castle, reflecting light on the stone walls and floor.

Su Chunfeng narrowed his eyes, his mind was in a trance, and he felt as if he traveled through time and space to hundreds of years ago.

The voices of discussions intertwined in various languages ​​became more and more noisy and filled my ears. Surrounded by these strong men, Su Chunfeng, who was getting younger and a little outrageous, turned a deaf ear and didn't bother to pay attention to it, just quietly comprehending the inner feelings. A sudden feeling—I don't know why, during this period of time, he often feels some inexplicable feelings, but he really doesn't have any clear thoughts, just experience it like this, and travel with his consciousness.

When the voice of everyone's discussion faded, Old Howard said: "The opening of the magic door is related to the safety of human beings all over the world. A long time ago, the masters of all countries in the magic world have used their wisdom and hard work, and even consumed them. Precious life, so it can be speculated that the opening of the magic gate will be much larger than any one in the millennium, and it will be more difficult to deal with. And this time, the strong man of the Huaxia Mountain Gate calculated the time and place of the opening of the magic gate There will be changes, which also confirms the difference between the opening of the magic gate and the history, and we must be more cautious. However, due to various reasons, the power of the magic world has been weakening and fading in general in the past century. We are extremely worried, because it means that we may lose the ability to deal with such a crisis as the opening of the magic gate. Only China's magic world, after a hundred years of decay, has entered a great state from revival in a very short period of time. In the prosperous period, this is gratifying and enviable. Moreover, the world's magic arts originated from China. We must admit that China's magic has a long history and profound foundation, and there are many mysterious strongmen in the mountain gate. Therefore, the power of China's magic world is absolutely It is the undisputed No. [-] in the world. Therefore, for this event of the opening of the Demon Gate, we hope that the powerful people in the Chinese magic world can play a leading and leading role in dealing with this event."

Those present, some showed disdain and jealousy, and some nodded in approval and envy.

Luo Tonghua intentionally or unintentionally glanced at Su Chunfeng who was sitting next to him but wandering away, and then said calmly: "The opening of the magic gate is related to the safety of the world. China's strange gates, rivers, lakes and mountain gates should do their part, and it should be done. But there are some words I must declare in advance, I hope you don't misunderstand me... This incident is no small matter, I hope that all countries in the magic circle can do their best, don't expect to be able to solve the magic gate opening incident with China's Qimen Jianghu and Shanmen alone, everyone must Let go of all disputes and selfishness, and work together to achieve success in one fell swoop. Otherwise, the strength of China's Qimen Jianghu and Shanmen will be damaged, and the magic gate will not be sealed, then it will be even more difficult to deal with!"

Hearing these words, the master Andrei from Russia opened his eyes like an angry bear and said, "Since Master Luo has such worries, why don't we do this and each be responsible for the It's the fairest way to open the magic door from within."

South Korea's Park Yinzhi immediately objected, saying: "I'm afraid this is not possible, because it is very likely that in some countries and regions where the magic gate is opened, there is no strong enough magic power. Is it necessary to watch the magic gate open there?" , but ignore it? You know, once the magic door is opened, if it is not sealed in time, it will inevitably cause the levee to burst, the flood will raging down, and the long levee will be completely destroyed.

"How about this, according to the division of the five continents of the earth, the magic forces in the region are responsible for the situation of each state. I think, the masters of the Chinese magic world will no longer have such narrow worries?" Chilean Awake Carter, the master of the divine realm, said with a sullen expression.

Brazil's Claudius Sanas said: "This is feasible, the Chinese magic world is powerful, but from a historical point of view, every time the magic door is opened, China is often the most serious, so they only need to be responsible for the Asian region. .As for the opening of the magic gates in other places, there is no need to bother them."

……

There was a lot of discussion among the people. Although some people felt that Luo Tonghua's words were harsh and were not angry, most people could understand the worries in Luo Tonghua's words.

As the saying goes, if people do not do what they want, heaven and earth will perish, and everyone has selfishness.

Old Howard looked at Zhixuan, Master Huiqing, and the monk wearing monk robes, and said, "Master Shiming, please share your opinion."

The monk known as Master Shiming had a thin face, and his eyes were always slightly closed. He heard the translator reminding him softly that Old Howard was asking him a question. Then he opened his eyes, radiant, and said indifferently: " Monks don’t tell lies. Although the division of regions seems fair, it is inappropriate in my opinion. Without the help of people from China’s Qimen Jianghu and Shanmen, as well as my Buddhist Tantric School, the power of magic in various regions of the world will open relative to the magic gate. , the strength is obviously insufficient, and it is difficult to deal with it. Therefore, we still need the assistance of Huaxia to ensure nothing goes wrong."

Reverend Zhixuan nodded in agreement and said, "Yes, what Master Luo Tonghua said may make all the masters present unhappy, but as far as the matter is concerned, everyone should work together to deal with the opening of the magic door. This is the most important point at present. Selfishness seeks to preserve strength and retreats, otherwise once the success fails, it will cause irreparable losses to the entire world. Human beings cannot afford to lose."

"Of course, the most important thing now is to figure out the exact time and place for the opening of the magic door as soon as possible." Hui Qing added with a serious expression.

The words of the three sparked another burst of discussion.

Onmyo-teacher Abe Haruki from Japan said lightly: "Determining the exact time and place of the opening of the magic gate is the most urgent thing at the moment, but I think we should also find out why the time and place of the opening of the magic gate , there will be such an incredible change..."

"I agree with Master Abe Haruki's opinion." Van Ens Yehao from the Netherlands nodded and said: "If we don't find out the reason, even if we try our best to calculate the time and place again, will it be possible in the future? Another dangerous change that catches us off guard?"

Master Shiming put his palms together and sighed softly Amitabha.

Samujan Singh from India said: "I heard that in the Chinese magic world, the inheritors of tricks who have been regarded as demons in history have appeared again. Perhaps, the time and place when the magic gate opened has changed, which is related to the inheritors of tricks. , because the inheritors of trickery have been regarded as demons for thousands of years, they must have some kind of mysterious connection with the opening of the magic door, otherwise, such a coincidence cannot be explained."

"Oh?"

Everyone looked at Luo Tonghua, Shi Linhuan, Su Chunfeng, and the representatives of the three members of the mountain gate.

Luo Tonghua said seriously: "The issue of tricks and trick inheritors is an unsolved case left over from the history of China's Qimen Rivers and Lakes. To be precise, it should be an unjust case. It has nothing to do with the opening of the magic door.”

Su Chunfeng, who was wandering in the sky, came back to his senses, scanned the audience, but didn't make a sound, but slightly raised the corners of his lips, revealing a faint smile.

"Master Luo, you are denying China's history of metaphysics." Master Zhixuan said in a deep voice.

"Realist Zhixuan's words are wrong." Luo Tonghua said tit for tat, "The opening of the magic door is about to cause a catastrophe. The most important thing for us now is to put aside our disputes and deal with the crisis wholeheartedly. As for tricks and the inheritance of tricks Whether the ones are evil or not depends on their next performance."

Master Huiqing snorted coldly: "Master Luo, you also said that the opening of the magic door is about to cause disaster. If the inheritors of the tricks cause trouble and cause disaster, who will bear the responsibility? Who can bear it?" rise?"

Master Shiming clasped his palms together and said Amitabha again.

Abe Haruki said: "I hope that Huaxia Qimen Jianghu, especially the officials in charge of Qimen Jianghu affairs, can put the overall situation first."

"That's right, since history has come to a conclusion, the current Huaxia officials should not go against the historical consensus and help the tyrant to achieve certain political interests." Pu Yinzhi looked around at everyone and said: "It is a matter of global security. Officials should pay attention to the opinions of their country's Qimen Jianghu and Shanmen, instead of going their own way and relying on powerful state institutions to interfere in the affairs of the magic world, let alone ignore global interests."

"I heard that Mr. Su Chunfeng, who came here today, is young and promising, but he practices tricks..." Abe Haruki looked at Su Chunfeng and said, "I don't know, is it true or not?"

In the conference hall, everyone was whispering and discussing.

Reverend Zhixuan interrupted everyone's discussions, and said: "Su Chunfeng practiced the Zhongtian secret art lost by my mountain gate. Although he publicly stated that the Zhongtian secret art contains many tricks and unique skills, I think it is necessary to represent it here. The mountain gate is famous, and there is absolutely no deceitful technique in the Zhongtian secret art. That is to say, Su Chunfeng can use the mysteries of the Zhongtian secret art of my mountain gate to practice both arts and tricks. In order to avoid the strange art in China Because of the bad influence on the Jianghu, Shanmen has been keeping silent about it, but today, at such a high-end international magic circle conference, since tricks and trick inheritors are mentioned, as well as their direct involvement in the opening of the magic gate Negative effects, then, Shanmen must responsibly disclose the truth of the matter to the public, and I hope that all colleagues will work together to deal with this extraordinary matter."

All the people present showed surprised expressions, and all their eyes turned to Su Chunfeng.

Su Chunfeng frowned slightly, glanced around, and said calmly: "I don't want to explain whether I am a fellow practitioner of dual skills, because it is unnecessary. Frankly speaking, I think what everyone is concerned about is obviously not the truth of this matter, but What kind of answer is in your own interest, or to put it more noble and hypocritical, in the interest of mankind, then you will approve an answer, whether it is true or not. In addition, I want to emphasize that the Tricks and the inheritors of tricks, this is a matter in the Jianghu of China's Qimen, and there is no need for international magic forces to point fingers. , can still be resolved. Of course, the major forces in the world are free to comment on this and their own comments and opinions, and others cannot stop it. So I hope that everyone can discuss the matter... If you insist on opening the magic door in advance If the reasons for changing the location and time are imposed on the tricksters and the inheritors of trickery, then I think that this form of meeting and the union of the global magic world will lose its inherent legitimate meaning, and will be regarded as They have created a stage and an excuse to realize their own interests."

Master Zhixuan frowned.

Daoist Huiqing looked straight at Su Chunfeng with his gaze like a knife.

Master Shiming clasped his hands together, closed his eyes and sighed softly.

In the venue, a group of translators softly translated Su Chunfeng's words in the ears of the masters.

Before everyone could recover and make rebuttals, Su Chunfeng got up, pulled out his chair and walked out, saying: "I'm sorry, I don't want to waste time on this kind of unpleasant, gloomy and chaste At the meeting." When he walked to the door, he turned around again in full view, and added coldly: "Besides, I feel ashamed that there are a few scum who show their family scandals in the Chinese magic world!"

After that, he turned around and strode away.

In this case, the Huaxia Magic Realm that Su Chunfeng mentioned, of course refers to Qimen Rivers and Lakes and... Shanmen!

Everyone here also understands who the few people Su Chunfeng refers to are.

"It's too arrogant!" Abe Haruki looked sarcastically at Zhixuan and Huiqing, as well as Master Shiming who folded his hands and bowed his head while chanting.

"China's Qimen Rivers and Lakes are really eye-opening." Pu Yinzhi showed a wry smile that seemed helpless but mocking.

"From Su Chunfeng's performance, I think it is certain that he is an inheritor of trickery, and he is trying to sabotage our plan to jointly resist the opening of the magic gate and reseal the magic gate. He even hopes that the magic gate will be able to go smoothly. Turn it on, and harm the survival of the entire human race."

"I think so too, and his performance doesn't take us seriously."

Master Andre from Russia scanned the audience with a sneer, and said: "I think that the conflicts in the Chinese magic circle should not be discussed at the international magic circle meeting. Su Chunfeng is right! What everyone sat together to discuss is The major crisis caused by the opening of the magic gate to the whole world, instead of getting involved in the messy affairs of the Chinese magic world, has nothing to do with us. At the same time, I also hope that in the future international magic circle conferences, there will be no such separate events. As for the country's problems, you should solve your own affairs...Of course, there are conflicts between the country and the country's magic circles, but the International Magic Circle Association can come forward to coordinate."

Van Ens Yehao immediately said: "Then, Master Andre, you protect the sinners in my Dutch magic world. At today's meeting, can you give us an explanation?"

"Gorev is a Russian now." Andrei confronted without flinching.

"Oh no no no." Old Howard stopped the dispute between the two, and said, "Let's discuss about the opening of the magic gate today. I think what Master Zhixuan said before is right. The international magic community should put disputes aside." Put it on hold for the time being, and work together to deal with the crisis of the opening of the magic door."

"Yes, there is absolutely no need to argue about tricks and trick inheritors." Elman Douglas shrugged and said, "It's boring. I have had many contacts with Mr. Su Chunfeng, and I should be more knowledgeable than most of the people here. To understand him. Therefore, if you believe that he is the inheritor of trickery, then I can only say that the inheritor of trickery is not a demon, he is an upright, kind, brave, and extraordinary genius."

Abe Haruki stood up and said, "Anyway, I would rather talk with people from the Shanmen and Qimen Jianghu in the Chinese magic circle, rather than the official Master Luo Tonghua who seems to represent the Qimen Jianghu. To talk, it's ridiculous, we're not a UN-political-agency."

After that, Abe Haruki turned and walked out.

Samujan Singh also objected and got up to leave.

Park Yinzhi exited.

Carter exits...

……

Master Shiming, Master Zhixuan, and Master Huiqing all looked at their noses and noses and their hearts.

Luo Tonghua didn't expect such a situation to happen. Under the complex attention of the rest of the people, he sneered, snorted softly, and said, "In that case, let's talk about it."

After finishing speaking, he got up and walked out with Shi Linhuan.

Elman Douglas took out a cigar and put it on, leaned back in his chair, and said with an exaggerated expression: "God, let the magic door open, and the world perish..."

"I hate meetings like this." Andre made no secret of his anger.

……

The meeting broke up badly.

……

……

Inside the hotel.

Luo Tonghua and Shi Linhuan sat on the sofa in the living room, drinking tea leisurely and talking about what happened at today's meeting.

Although he has officially entered the government and has a permanent position, Shi Linhuan continues to spend a lot of money and live a high standard of living - he doesn't care about the cost of living in a five-star hotel or the salary he earns when he works in an official organization , and will not put it in his eyes at all.You know, not to mention Shi Linhuan's huge personal deposits, this master of physiognomy who is famous all over the world and even in the world of magic arts, it is not a lot of money to help anyone to give advice on Fengshui layout, acupoints, and so on. money?What's more, he is a shareholder of Wantong Logistics Group!

"Chunfeng is getting more and more radical." Shi Linhuan sighed softly, and said: "In such a high-end meeting, he dared to risk the world's dissatisfaction and openly confronted the mountain gate. His words are easy to let If people misunderstand, he is equivalent to admitting that he is an inheritor of trickery."

Luo Tonghua closed his eyes and thought about it, and said slowly, "I'm thinking about his cultivation level."

"Huh?" Shi Linhuan was stunned for a moment, and said with some surprise: "You mean, the reason why Su Chunfeng dared to be so tough is because he...was awake?"

"Even higher." Luo Tonghua opened his eyes and said, "Although this sounds a bit unbelievable, if it is placed on Su Chunfeng, I would rather believe that it is true. Because, now I can see his It's a cultivation level that is close to the Great Consummation of Qi Refining, but I can't see through his state of mind. And all along, his state of mind has always been much higher than his own body's cultivation base, and only then can he achieve breakthroughs in the realm of cultivation. You know, when he went to Beijing to go to university, he was only in the late stage of Qi solidification, and it has only been a few years? Before, I couldn’t make such a judgment, but since I entered the state of awakening last year, I have It is very clear to find the strangeness in it.”

"Back to the basic state of mind?" Shi Linhuan looked at Luo Tonghua in disbelief.

Luo Tonghua shook his head with a smile, and said: "I can't guarantee it, so I say it's even higher, because the two highest realms of returning to basics and returning to innocence, the magical and mysterious picture scroll, we can't know just by imagining and guessing. That’s all. Let’s not talk about his cultivation.” Luo Tonghua took a sip from his teacup, then changed the subject and said, “Chunfeng has always been a very stable and intelligent child. What he is best at is contemplation. People's hearts and careful planning for rainy days. He was able to hold back such direct provocations and threats from Shanmen today, and he did not publicly reveal the situation set up by Shanmen. He only showed his own toughness. Everything that will happen in the future has absolute certainty to control and deal with.”

Shi Linhuan thought for a while, nodded and said, "This is a match with Shanmen."

"Yes, Shanmen is promoting this matter, and Chunfeng is also pushing this matter in the same direction with his strength." Luo Tonghua expressed emotion, although he knew that Shi Linhuan also wanted to understand the relationship between the two sides this time. However, he still couldn’t help but narrate: “The people at the mountain gate made such an aggressive move today, it seems that they want to use external forces to put pressure on us, but in fact they are using this to hide the situation they have set up, let us focus on it. The focus is on responding to external pressure. If Chunfeng hadn’t informed us in advance, I think we would have been deceived by Shanmen’s actions, diverting our attention and not guessing their real purpose.”

"This kid, he's making a dangerous move." Shi Linhuan said with a wry smile: "The magic door is opened, where is his grasp on such a big matter?"

Luo Tonghua smiled and said, "Because he knows that Shanmen is sure to deal with it."

Shi Linhuan was stunned for a moment, couldn't help but laughed heartily, nodded and said: "Yes, yes, yes, I really neglected this point. It's rare that Chunfeng can have a panoramic view in the mountains."

"So, I can't let him go without an official! Does he want to run away? There's no way!"

"Old Luo, you are too bad!"

"Don't you think so too?"

Shi Linhuan nodded and said with emotion: "Yes, regardless of whether Chunfeng enters the officialdom or not, as long as he is present in the Qimen Jianghu in the future, it will be a good thing for the Jianghu, society, and everyone..."

……

……

In the evening, Su Chunfeng in a suit and leather shoes gently embraced Wang Haifei, standing on the edge of the corridor of an apartment, watching the crew members nervously filming a scene.

"I feel now that Li Fei and the others are really not easy." Wang Haifei said softly.

"There are difficulties in all walks of life. A mountain looks as high as a mountain." Su Chunfeng said with a smile: "You sometimes complain that being a teacher is tiring and annoying, and the students are hard to manage... But in fact, how good your teachers are, If you do the math, you teachers have vacations for nearly half a year this year."

Wang Haifei nodded slightly.

She was originally an optimistic and submissive personality who was easy to be satisfied, not to mention the current her, she really has nothing to complain about.Probably the only worry about life in my heart is my boyfriend, or should I say her husband-to-be, Su Chunfeng, who is too good and attractive to women, right?

However, if he wasn't so good, how could he love him so much?

This is an unsolvable contradiction, and it is also a mediocrity.

Wang Haifei was in a daze for a moment.

When the phone rang, Su Chunfeng took out the phone and looked at the caller ID, and then pressed the answer button: "Hey, Zongmeng, I was just about to call you, come over for dinner later, at dinner last night, Pei Jia and Bai Xingyong still complained You haven't arrived yet, this is a rare opportunity in a foreign country, let's sit together."

"Okay, let's get down to business." Zongmeng's tone was as cold as ever, and said: "The two professional lawyers that Pei Jia invited in the afternoon looked at the contract carefully, and indeed found a few things that were easy to appear in it. The loophole in the question, it seems that this British guy really wants to play with words."

Su Chunfeng frowned and said, "Is it a big problem?"

"It's not big, it's nothing more than fighting for some benefits for their current employees and middle managers. Of course, it will have some impact on our future management." Zongmeng said: "Our lawyer said that this kind of thing is a big deal. Small, but after we questioned it face-to-face, the person in charge of the other party frankly admitted that they were worried that after our future acquisition, they would cut down a large number of their managers and employees.”

"Since this is the case, let's renegotiate. We also need to consider more details. It is best to take the length of the work contracts of those employees into consideration, so as not to cause trouble in the future. In addition, the original participation in the acquisition contract review The proposed legal staff should be replaced."

"This is necessary. The meeting has just ended and the people haven't left yet. I will discuss it with them now."

"It's late, let's talk about it tomorrow, you come here now."

"Well."
