Chapter 455: Where did Gu Jiting go?
While the two were talking, Gu Jiting suddenly stood up and said he wanted to leave. Li Tong did not stop him, but said calmly: "Brother Gu, I will help you get your small treasury back."
After hearing this, Gu Jiting paused, but did not look back. He just left a word: "Thank you," and disappeared into the darkness.
Zhang Chulan hurried to find Li Tong after learning that Gu Jiting had disappeared. He was worried that Gu Jiting's departure would affect their investigation of Feng Baobao's life experience.
"Li Tong, where did Gu Jiting go? What should we do if he leaves?" Zhang Chulan asked anxiously.
Li Tong calmly took a sip of tea and said slowly: "He has his own things to deal with, we don't have to worry too much. As for Sister Baoer, I will continue to track her down."
After hearing this, Zhang Chulan still had doubts in his heart, but he could only put them aside temporarily. He knew that Li Tong was a sensible person, and since he said so, he must have his own plans.
On the other side, Feng Baobao was describing to Zhang Chulan the scene of Wu Gensheng's departure. Her tone was flat, as if she was talking about something that had nothing to do with her.
"Wu Gensheng said a few words to me, then opened the window and jumped out." Feng Baobao said.
Zhang Chulan felt helpless after hearing this. He knew that Wu Gensheng was a strange person, and his departure was reasonable. But when he thought about not telling Feng Baobao to stop him before, he couldn't help but feel a little regretful.
Li Tong did not show much surprise at Wu Gensheng's departure. He seemed to have gotten used to Wu Gensheng's style of doing things.
"Wu Gensheng is always like this, making people unpredictable. However, his departure will not affect our plans." Li Tong said.
After hearing this, Zhang Chulan still felt unwilling, but he could only accept this fact. He knew that the most important thing now was to continue to investigate the mystery of Feng Baobao's life experience.
After disappearing for a while, Gu Jiting suddenly appeared in front of Li Tong. He looked a little tired, but there was a firm light in his eyes.
"Have you retrieved my little treasury?" Gu Jiting asked.
Li Tong nodded and handed a small box to Gu Jiting. Gu Jiting opened the box and looked at the treasures inside, with a hint of satisfaction in his eyes.
"Next, we should continue our plan." Li Tong said.
"Li Tong, do you really trust me?" Gu Jiting asked.
Li Tong smiled, took out a gold coin from his pocket, and gently threw it to Gu Jiting: "The monetary contract between you and me is no joke. I know your ability very well. One, two, three, freeze. This skill is not something that anyone can have."
Gu Jiting took the gold coin, a trace of gratitude flashed in his eyes. He nodded, turned around and disappeared into the night.
Li Tong stood in front of the window, watching Gu Jiting's back as he walked away, secretly feeling lucky. This mission must be carried out by Gu Jiting. His ability was the key to completing this mission.
However, not long after Gu Jiting left, Li Tong suddenly received a message. The content of the message was simple and direct: "Come to Longhu Mountain as soon as possible."
Li Tong frowned, feeling somewhat puzzled. Longhu Mountain? He had been there twice recently, so why did he go there again this time? However, since the information had already arrived, he had no other choice.
The next day, Li Tong set out on the road to Longhu Mountain. The mountain road was rugged, but he walked very fast. His heart was full of expectations for Longhu Mountain.
When he stood on the top of Longhu Mountain again, it was already evening. He looked around and saw the rolling sea of clouds, as if he was in a fairyland.
"Li Tong, you're here." A familiar voice sounded behind him.
Li Tong looked back and saw the old Taoist priest standing not far away, looking at him with a smile on his face.
"Old Master, how did you know I was coming?" Li Tong asked in surprise.
The old Taoist priest smiled but said nothing. He walked up to Li Tong and patted him on the shoulder: "Glad that you are here. There are some things going on in Longhu Mountain recently and we need your help."
Li Tong nodded, wondering secretly in his heart, what could it be?
Just then, they heard a quarrel. Following the sound, they saw Lu Jin standing in front of the Taoist temple, arguing with a Taoist priest.
"I want to go home! I don't want to stay here anymore!" Lu Jin shouted loudly.
The Taoist priest shook his head helplessly: "Senior Lu, your current physical condition is really not suitable for leaving."
"What physical condition? I'm in good health! You are illegally detaining me!" Lu Jin said angrily.
Li Tong and the old Taoist priest looked at each other and saw the helplessness in each other's eyes. They walked over and tried to persuade Lu Jin.
"Lu Jin, has your body almost recovered?" Li Tong sat down and asked casually.
Lu Jin laughed and patted his chest: "Of course not, I am as strong as an ox now, and I don't have to worry about any minor illnesses or pains anymore."
The old Taoist priest shook his head and sighed, "Your body is fine, but what about Ke Xin? When you mention Wu Gensheng and Li Muxuan, you become a different person."
Lu Jin's face darkened and he stopped talking. Li Tong saw this and quickly tried to smooth things over: "Oh, Master, Uncle Lu Jin has something on his mind, so please stop talking."
The old Taoist sighed and looked at Lu Jin: "How can I let you go down the mountain if you are like this?"
When Lu Jin heard this, he immediately got angry: "What's wrong with me? I'm in good health, why can't I go down the mountain? Do I have to stay in Longhu Mountain for the rest of my life?"
The old Taoist frowned and said, "What can you do if you go down the mountain? Go and seek revenge on Wu Gensheng? Or go and settle accounts with Li Muxuan? If you don't untie the knot in your heart, you will only get deeper and deeper into trouble."
Lu Jin stood up and glared at the old Taoist priest: "I've had enough! I'm tired of this kind of restraint! I want to go down the mountain, I want to find them, I want them to pay the price!"
The old Taoist priest also stood up and said in a low voice: "If you go down the mountain, you will only bring more trouble to yourself, Longhu Mountain, and the world."
The two of them argued back and forth like this, and Li Tong was so anxious that he was running around, but he didn't know how to persuade them.
At this moment, the old Taoist priest suddenly stopped arguing and looked at Lu Jin: "How about this, as long as you can convince Zhao Fangxu from the company to agree to let you go down the mountain, I will no longer stop you."
Lu Jin was stunned. He obviously didn't expect the old Taoist priest to put forward such a condition. He was silent for a while, then sneered and said, "Okay, I'll go find Zhao Fangxu now!" After that, he turned around and left. The old Taoist priest looked at Lu Jin's back and sighed, "This kid is still too young."
Li Tong also sighed: "Master, can you really solve the problem like this?"
The old Taoist priest turned around and looked at Li Tong: "Sometimes, people need to face some things on their own to truly grow. Lu Jin needs to untie this knot on his own. This is all we can do to help him."
"Li Tong, you come and judge for me!" Lu Jin spoke first, his eyes flashing with anger, "Shouldn't I go down the mountain to settle accounts with Wu Gensheng?"
The old Taoist priest shook his head and sighed, "Lu Jin, you are too obsessed. Hatred will only make you lose your mind and eventually hurt yourself."
Li Tong touched his chin, thought for a moment and said, "Actually, I have a way to have the best of both worlds."
"Oh? Tell me about it." The two looked at Li Tong at the same time, their eyes full of anticipation.
Li Tong cleared his throat and said slowly: "Lu Jin, your problem is that your inner demons are too strong. I have a friend who is good at soul manipulation. Maybe he can help you eliminate your inner demons."
Lu Jin was stunned when he heard this, and then he said angrily: "Eliminate the inner demon? Doesn't that mean I should forget the hatred? I can't do it!"
The old Taoist priest also frowned, obviously not satisfied with the proposal. Li Tong saw this and smiled bitterly in his heart. He knew that his proposal was a bit abrupt, but it was also to get out of this situation as soon as possible.
"I know this is hard to accept, but this is our only option at the moment." Li Tong continued, "Otherwise, once you go down the mountain, I'm afraid you'll get into even bigger trouble."
After hearing Li Tong's words, Lu Jin and the old Taoist priest fell silent. They knew that Li Tong was telling the truth, but such a proposal was indeed difficult for them to accept.
Lu Jin clenched his fists, and a trace of struggle flashed in his eyes. He hated Wu Gensheng to the core, but he didn't want to lose his mind because of hatred. The old Taoist sighed. He knew Lu Jin's temper and how difficult this proposal was for Lu Jin.
"Li Tong, I appreciate your kindness." Lu Jin finally said, "But I can't forget the hatred. This is my motivation to live."
The old Taoist priest also nodded, expressing his support for Lu Jin's decision. Li Tong was relieved when he saw this. He knew that he had tried his best, and the rest depended on Lu Jin's own choice.
"In that case, I'll take my leave now." Li Tong said, turning around and preparing to leave. He knew that there was no place for him to stay here, and staying any longer would only make him more embarrassed.
"Li Tong, where are you going?" the old Taoist priest called him.
"Oh, I'm going to visit Mr. Tian." Li Tong said casually, "He hasn't been feeling well recently, I'm going to go see him."
Lu Jin took a deep breath, turned and looked at Li Tong, with a gleam of determination in his eyes: "I know, but I can't just give up like this. I must avenge my family with my own hands."
Li Tong sighed and shook his head: "It's too risky for you to do this. If something goes wrong..."
"Nothing will happen!" Lu Jin interrupted him, "I have to go, no matter what the result is."
Li Tong nodded helplessly. He knew Lu Jin's character. Once he made a decision, it would be difficult to change it. He patted Lu Jin's shoulder and said, "Then be careful. I'll wait for you on the mountain."
After saying that, Li Tong turned and left the pavilion and went to Tian Jinzhong's residence. He came to the door, knocked gently, and called out, "Brother Tian, are you there?"
After a while, the door slowly opened and Tian Jinzhong appeared at the door with a smile on his face: "It's Li Tong, come in and sit down."
Li Tong walked into the room and found Tian Jinzhong practicing. He sat cross-legged on the bed, closed his eyes and breathed steadily. Li Tong couldn't help but admire Tian Jinzhong's perseverance. He knew that after Tian Jinzhong recovered, he began to practice madly, almost to the point of forgetting to eat and sleep.
"Brother Tian is really hardworking." Li Tong exclaimed.
Tian Jinzhong opened his eyes and smiled: "No, no, I just don't want to leave any regrets."
The two chatted for a while, and then Li Tong left Tian Jinzhong's residence. He walked on the mountain road, feeling a little confused. He didn't know where to go next, nor did he know how to help Lu Jin get revenge. He sighed, shook his head, and continued to move forward.
Unconsciously, he came to a forest at the back of the mountain. He looked around and found a small house in front of him. Standing at the door were two Taoist priests, Qingfeng and Mingyue. He decided to go forward and ask.
He walked to the front of the hut, bowed to Qingfeng and Mingyue and said, "Excuse me, Taoist priests. I'm here to look for someone. May I ask if you have ever seen a person named Wu Gensheng?"
Qingfeng and Mingyue looked at each other and shook their heads: "We have never seen this person. This is the back mountain of Longhu Mountain, and few people come here usually. Maybe you can go to the front mountain and ask other Taoist priests."
Li Tong nodded somewhat disappointedly, but he did not give up. After thanking the two Taoist priests, he turned and left the hut. He knew in his heart that it would not be easy to find Wu Gensheng, but he would not give up any clues.
In this way, Li Tong wandered around Longhu Mountain, looking for clues about Wu Gensheng. He didn't know what would happen in the future, but he believed that as long as he didn't give up, he would find a chance for revenge one day.
Li Tong stood in front of the hut, scratching his head in embarrassment. The two Taoist priests, Qingfeng and Mingyue, stood aside, looking normal, as if they were already used to such scenes.
"Master, the person locked up in this room is Gong Qing, the acting leader of Quanxing?" Li Tong asked tentatively, with a hint of curiosity in his voice.
Taoist Qingfeng nodded and said nothing. Taoist Mingyue added: "It is him, but you don't have to worry, he has been subdued by the old Taoist priest and will not make any moves."
Li Tong felt relieved when he heard this, but at the same time he felt a little embarrassed to continue asking. After all, this involved other people's privacy, and he didn't want to appear too rude.
Just as he was about to turn around and leave, the door of the hut suddenly opened. Gong Qing's thin figure appeared at the door, his face was haggard, but his eyes were unusually firm.
"Li Tong, you're here." Gong Qing's voice was hoarse, but with a hint of barely perceptible joy.
Li Tong was stunned. He didn't expect Gong Qing to take the initiative to greet him. He looked Gong Qing up and down, and couldn't help but feel a little surprised. Gong Qing looked much thinner than the last time they met, as if he had gone through some great ordeal.
"Gong Qing, why...why are you here?" Li Tong asked stutteringly, full of confusion.
Gong Qing smiled bitterly and shook his head: "It's a long story, but I'm lucky to be still alive now."
Li Tong frowned and asked in confusion: "The old Taoist priest didn't kill you?"
Gong Qing glanced at him calmly and said, "The old Heavenly Master is kind and generous, and does not want to commit more sins of killing. Besides, I still have some things to do, so he will not kill me easily." (End of this chapter)
