Do not engage in underworld operations in the human world!

Chapter 338 The Director’s Connections

It is normal for the director to have such thoughts. After all, now except for immortals, it seems that other cultivators are not qualified.

You must know that although there are many powerful people in Sanqing Temple, including some who are just one step away from transcending the tribulation, the Sanqing world is so large that there is naturally no shortage of talented people. There may be some hidden boss who has a grudge against Sanqing Temple or the Law Enforcement Bureau. If he jumps out at that time, who knows how big the conflict may be.

But immortals are different. After becoming immortals, they will automatically ascend to the fairyland and will no longer exist in the mortal world. In other words, if you can invite an immortal down from Mount Kunlun, he will definitely be a top combat force.

Let’s not talk about whether the problem can be solved completely for now. Anyway, let’s put the current problem aside and solve it slowly later.

But what the director is worried about is that immortals are illusory beings. The world they see after becoming immortals is different from what mortals see. What may be a serious incident to the law enforcement bureau may be nothing to them.

Therefore, whether or not we can invite the immortal is actually the key now.

"Let's give it a try." The director's already old face had many more wrinkles in the past few hours.

"Yeah." Jiang Lu patted the director's shoulder to comfort him.

This incident has exceeded his ability, even he can't help.

Now it seems that we can only hope that Kunlun Mountain will come to our aid.

In a blink of an eye, it was time for the appointment the next day.

After a night of rest at the Scenic Hotel, Jiang Lu looked refreshed.

After getting rid of the constant fearful and nervous environment on the train, Jiang Lu's condition quickly improved, and his legs did not tremble at all after fighting all night.

It is worth mentioning that after successfully building her foundation, Jin Yao made incredibly fast progress. It took less than a week from Nanjiang City to here, and according to her, she is about to pass the tribulation.

Jiang Lu fully agreed with this.

Regardless of whether she was really going to undergo a tribulation, the unexpected tightness did make Jiang Lu feel like he was going through a tribulation several times last night, as if he was being crushed by a crusher and he couldn't bear it. Fortunately, his heart of Taoism was firm, so he held on. In the end, the devil was one foot high and the Tao was ten feet high, and he was subdued by Jin Yao first.

Such a result is not surprising. After all, for Jin Yao, this is just picking up the cultivation level before being sealed, which is equivalent to rebirth. Not only will she not take detours, but she can also take many shortcuts and there are no bottlenecks. Everything goes smoothly and it is very reasonable.

The key lies after overcoming the tribulation.

Simply becoming an immortal is definitely not enough to compete with the Queen Mother of the West. The most important thing is whether you can quickly reach the realm of immortals and reach the realm of gods.

Jiang Lu couldn't help with this, although he didn't intend to help.

Back to topic.

But the director's life was more miserable. Not only did he not get any sleep, he also did not have his sister to accompany him. He did not close his eyes the entire night and was so busy that he did not even have time to drink a sip of water. He could only go to the toilet when he could no longer hold it in.

After a night's sleep, one will be as haggard as possible.

Even Jiang Lu couldn't help but have some respect for him: "What do you want?"

"Responsibility," the director said with a wry smile, "The responsibility on my shoulders is too heavy, I can't let it go at all."

Jiang Lu casually asked about the current progress, and after coming to the conclusion that the Law Enforcement Bureau had been busy all night and seemed to have made no progress, he urged: "Come on, let's get going quickly. It seems that the Law Enforcement Bureau alone can't do it."

"Yes."

The two did not take the director's special car as originally planned, because the Law Enforcement Bureau is now being condemned by everyone, and a car with the Law Enforcement Bureau license plate is too conspicuous and might be greeted with rotten eggs.

They did not take public transportation either, because the director had just held a press conference yesterday and there was a risk of being recognized. Without a special car to protect them, they might be more than just rotten eggs.

In the end, the two had no choice but to ride shared electric bikes and cover their faces with helmets, which finally gave the director a sense of security.

"Please return the electric vehicle to the unified docking point after arriving at the destination, and do not dock at random."

The monk who was supplying spiritual energy to the electric cars pulled out the tube in his mouth and, as usual, made a voice announcement to the people who came to borrow the cars.

"Are you just bragging?" Jiang Lu was familiarizing himself with the condition of the car while complaining about this artificial charging station that was both modern and primitive.

"I only have a few holes on my body. Can't I blow them with my butt instead of my mouth?" The charging station waved his hand impatiently: "You talk too much nonsense, as if you have never seen it before, country bumpkin."

Jiang Lu: “6.”

Riding on the bike, Jiang Lu felt the vibration on his butt due to the road conditions and couldn't help complaining: "We should set up the assembly point at the foot of Kunlun Mountain, so that I can at least take a taxi, or at worst take the bus."

Hearing this, the director didn't know what to say for a moment, and could only sigh and say, "Thank you for your hard work."

Fortunately, the tingling and numbness in the buttocks did not last too long, and the two arrived at the westernmost part of Kunlun Town - the intersection leading to the Yaochi Lake of Kunlun Mountain.

What comes into view is a long staircase several dozen meters wide that starts from halfway up the mountain and disappears into the clouds, with no visible path to the sky at the top.

It stretches across the rocks of the mountains like the spine on a dragon's back, without the slightest winding.

Jiang Lu looked up at the long steps and asked the director who was parking the car, "Where's the cable car? Why can't I see it?"

"What cable car?" The director looked confused.

"The cable car up the mountain." Jiang Lu's expression changed slightly: "It shouldn't be gone."

"There is no such thing." The director put his hands behind his back and walked straight to the stairs: "To climb up Kunlun Mountain, you can only climb step by step, unless you can fly."

Jiang Lu stood there for a moment, finally came to his senses, quickly caught up with him, and asked hopefully beside the director: "Is it possible that you can fly and take me up with you?"

"Me?" The director shook his head and smiled, "Of course I would, but I won't do this, because I'm here to ask for help. How could I possibly do something so rude?"

Jiang Lu stopped and stared at the director's hunched back in silence.

Damn, you can fly. You just took me for an electric bike ride, right?
No choice, climb
As the saying goes, a horse will die if it runs too far up the mountain.

The mountain in front looks very close, but when you actually walk, you find that no matter how long you walk, the mountain is still there and the distance does not seem to have decreased at all.

The same goes for this long staircase. You can't see the top, and the section hidden in the clouds is just a small dot in your field of vision. No matter how you climb, that small dot doesn't change much. If Jiang Lu hadn't looked back occasionally and found that he could no longer see the intersection he came from, he would have felt like he had encountered a ghost wall and was still in the same place after walking for a long time.

I don't know how long I walked. Jiang Lu was so bored that he almost fell asleep. He moved his feet completely relying on instinct. Finally, he heard the director in front of him say, "We are almost there."

"What guide? Is it here?" Jiang Lu's mind was a little confused and he was not quite awake. He couldn't hear clearly what was said. He thought he needed a guide before going up the mountain, so he began to look around to see where was suitable for Yueya Tianchong.

"I said we're almost there!" The director turned around and repeated, "We're almost at Yaochi."

"Huh? Oh."

Jiang Lu nodded sleepily, took a breath of the fresh air at the high altitude, and patted his cheeks to wake himself up.

Then he faced the sunlight and looked up with squinted eyes.

Just one glance and he was stunned.

At the end not far ahead, there stood a towering white jade gate.

It is simply impossible to describe its magnificence in words. On the lintel alone there are tens of thousands of rare and exotic animals carved, each of which is several times larger than an ordinary adult, not to mention the frame that supports them. It is probably enough for three or five aircraft carriers to pass by side by side. The door is shrouded in mist and cannot be seen clearly, as if there is a strange barrier separating the world inside the door from the outside world.

"call"

“It’s been a long time since I last felt this shock.”

The director sighed, saying that he had not set foot on Kunlun Mountain in person for a long time.

"Let's go. After we pass through this jade gate, we will be able to see Yaochi."

As he said this, the director led Jiang Lu to cross the Jade Immortal Gate. But just as they arrived at the gate and were about to enter, a boy of seven or eight years old appeared out of nowhere and blocked their way.

"Who are you?"

The director smiled and said, "Please inform the Taoist priest that the director of the Kunlun Town Law Enforcement Bureau wants to see the Immortal Wang Yang."

"Director of the Law Enforcement Bureau?" The little Taoist boy looked at the director, nodded reluctantly, and said, "Wait here, I'll go ask."

"Excuse me, little Taoist priest."

After the little Taoist boy disappeared, Jiang Lu looked at him with some admiration and said, "I didn't realize you really knew the immortal. Then why did you pretend to be so unsure yesterday? So you were waiting for me here?"

"Uh"

The director, who was originally smiling, suddenly looked embarrassed:
“No, I just call him Immortal, but Wang Yang is not actually an immortal, just a disciple. I am familiar with him because he has helped the Law Enforcement Bureau many times.

Although he is still very young, his cultivation is already higher than mine. I believe he will achieve greater success in the future."

"Then you call someone to be a fairy?"

"Good wishes," the director explained. "Besides, who doesn't like to hear good words?"

"That's right." Jiang Lu agreed.

However, when he saw that the director had already started calling people, he suddenly remembered that he seemed to have not yet told Lu Qing that he had arrived.

Thinking of this, he quickly sent a message to Lu Qing, telling her that she didn't need to pick him up anymore.

Just as he sent the message, a handsome young man in a white robe stepped out of the Qun Yu Gate. When he saw the director, he laughed heartily: "Long time no see, Lao Tian, ​​how come you have time to come to see me?"

Although his attitude was not disrespectful, it did not show any respect either. Even though they were friends, he did not seem to have any concerns about the identity of the Director of the Law Enforcement Bureau.

It would be fine if the director had the same attitude, but the key point is that when facing him, the director seemed timid and passive in greeting him, which is quite intriguing.

Jiang Lu could only think that if Wang Yang did not have any special identity, then an ordinary disciple of Kunlun Mountain might have a higher status than a law enforcement director.

After some "lively" chat, the director finally got back to the point.

"This time, I want to ask you for help with two things."

"Just tell me, what is our relationship?" Wang Yang said indifferently.

"The first one is my distant cousin. Yes, that's him."

The director introduced Jiang Lu to Wang Yang:

"He captured a Class A wanted criminal for whom a bounty was offered by Sanqing Temple in Nanjiang City. He performed a great deed and was given the opportunity to study in Kunlun Mountain. As his uncle, I am of course happy for him and hope that he can receive a good education here.

So I was thinking, can you make some arrangements for him, and try to get him a better treatment?"

"This"

Wang Yang's smile gradually faded:

"You also know that every year there are so many people from all over the world coming to our Yao Chi for further studies, and there are also many people with very deep backgrounds. We have always treated everyone equally. Think about it, oh, if you want to be special, what about others?
If this precedent is set, it will be very difficult to manage in the future. It will be hard to justify who should be assigned and who should not be assigned. So in principle, it is not feasible."

Hearing this, the director's expression became a little stiff.

This was completely an insult to Jiang Lu in front of him, but he had no choice.

“I’m not thinking about our relationship.”

He wanted to smooth things over, but before he could finish his words, Wang Yang shook his head and said, "Personal relationships are two different things. No matter how good our relationship is, we can't break the rules, right?"

Hearing this, the director felt a little aggrieved.

It sounds good, and it would be fine if you really did that, but every time you went down the mountain to have fun, I took advantage of my position to give you many benefits, and didn't I suppress the troubles you caused when you went down the mountain so that your master didn't know about it?
Although you have helped me a lot, I have paid much more than you, right?

So now that you've taken advantage of everything and acted as if nothing had happened, you know you shouldn't break the rules?

In the director's opinion, Wang Yang did not act helpless from beginning to end, but used all kinds of nice words to prevaricate. He could see that Wang Yang just didn't want to help him.

But what can he do?

Not to mention that he was not right in the first place, even if he was right, could he force the other party? Not to mention that he couldn't afford to offend Yao Chi who was on his side, he couldn't even afford to offend Wang Yang himself. If something happened, he couldn't expect anyone to back him up.

Not to mention the General Administration of Law Enforcement, even the Sanqing Temple has to stand aside in front of Yaochi.

Thinking of this, the director didn't even plan to make a second request.

Wang Yang was unwilling to help with something as simple as taking care of Jiang Lu, a foreign student, because he thought it was troublesome. Could he really ask the immortal, whom even Wang Yang himself revered, for help for him?
impossible.

Jiang Lu saw the director's embarrassment and sighed: "It's okay, uncle, you did your best."

The director, who was immersed in grievances, didn't react and was stunned for a moment: "Who is your cousin?"

Jiang Lu was also stunned when he heard this: "Didn't you just say that I'm your cousin?"

"Oh."

Wang Yang on the side sneered inwardly.

No matter whether they are real relatives or not, he will not help. In his eyes, the director is just a person who can provide him with convenience in Kunlun Town. Calling him a tool is praising him too much. How could he use his connections to help them?

Just at this moment, another beautiful figure emerged from the group of jade gates.

"Jiang Lu, you are finally here."

The person who came was Lu Qing who had received the news.

She was extremely excited to see Jiang Lu. It could be said that a day without seeing him was like a long time ago, and a long drought is finally over. Time reveals a person's true character.

Jiang Lu smiled and said, "I'm a jack of all trades!"

Wang Yang, who had his back to the group of Yumen, felt that the voice just now was inexplicably familiar. He turned his head and suddenly widened his eyes: "Senior Sister?"

"Huh? What are you doing here?" Lu Qing asked puzzledly.

But before Wang Yang could answer, her attention was focused on Jiang Lu again, as if the inquiry just now was just out of courtesy and she didn't care about the reason.

"Let's go. I've already packed your room. The suite for the true disciples is right next to mine."

"Don't you live in a single room for international students?"

Lu Qing shook his head and commented: "The conditions are too poor, not suitable for human habitation."

Jiang Lu raised his lips in satisfaction: "Okay, okay, next door, right? I'll go dig a bird hole in a while."

Finally, the director couldn't help but ask curiously, "Who is this?"

Jiang Lu proudly replied: "Wang Yang Promax Loyalty Edition." (End of this chapter)
