So that's how it is. Zhang Yuanqing put down the corpse suppressing talisman, his mind exploding at that moment.
"When my dad drew this talisman, he wasn't yet a The Way of the Extraordinary. The Xiaoyao Sect really is an organization passed down from the ancient Night Roaming Gods. Although cultivation is impossible in the Era of Dharma Decline, the 'Dao lineage' has been preserved until modern times, kept in a small Taoist temple.
"The name of the Xiaoyao organization comes from this ancient sect."
"Wait, how does the end of the world sound so much like the prophecy of the Compass of Light?"
"Does the end of the world refer to the Era of Dharma Decline? Unlikely. The Era of Dharma Decline is the gradual withering of spiritual energy, which is different from the end of the world. Could it be secretly referring to the reason for the decline of spiritual energy?"
If the reason for the exhaustion of spiritual power is attributed to the "end of the world," wouldn't the logic be consistent?
In the distant past, a disaster occurred that could be called the end of the world, and then spiritual power began to wither, with cultivators becoming weaker with each generation.
And in the myths of various countries, there are many legends about the ancient end of the world.
"It's really possible. I remember Mr. Bill said that the Third District hasn't been opened yet. Whether the Third District is open or not is not important. What's important is that Mr. Bill fantasized that the closure of the Third District is related to Ragnarok in mythology. Ragnarok is a disaster on the scale of the end of the world."
Also, isn't the second end of the world mentioned by my deadbeat dad exactly in line with the prophecy of the Compass of Light?
Hiss, this Xiaoyao organization is a bit terrifying. In ancient times, they predicted that there would be a second end of the world in the future... Zhang Yuanqing thought, his scalp tingling.
"Uncle! Where did those Taoists go back then?"
If he was anxious just now, then now he was excited, trembling with excitement.
If he could find the people of the Xiaoyao Temple and find the preserved ancient books, he might be able to understand more information and secrets.
"Some were caught, some escaped." Zhang Zitao said, "At that time, the higher-ups organized a group of people to smash the Taoist temple, and everything inside was burned in a fire."
All burned, all scattered. Zhang Yuanqing couldn't hide his disappointment.
After bidding farewell to his distant uncle, Zhang Yuanqing drove back to Songhai. Along the way, his mind was filled with thoughts, replaying the information he had obtained today over and over again.
The speeding car suddenly braked sharply on the side of the road.
"Thinking wildly is meaningless. I need to profile my dad." Zhang Yuanqing had an idea and opened the gang warehouse.
Not the "Return of the Dead" warehouse, but the "White Tiger Guard" warehouse.
Through the permissions opened by Fu Qingyang, he quickly scanned the item list, read the item attributes, and found a suitable prop.
Then he submitted a request to Young Master Qian to take the prop.
【Ding!! Your request has been approved!! Please check the prop in the item list.】
A Spirit Realm notification sounded in his ears.
This was a pipe, named "The Great Detective Pipe." Constantly smoking this pipe could grant super logic, reasoning, and profiling abilities, as well as keen insight.
This is simply the prop I dreamed of during my adolescence. The Great Detective Zhang Yuanzi should have such a pipe. Zhang Yuanqing opened the car window, leaned against the back of the seat, and took a hard puff of the pipe.
The burning smell of tobacco was pungent and choking. In the past, he, who didn't smoke, would cough until his face was red and his eyes were streaming with tears. But for a Star Officer, even dichlorvos could be drunk in one gulp!
What was a mere tobacco?
Zhang Yuanqing leaned against the back of the seat, closed his eyes, and took puff after puff, silently exhaling smoke.
His brain became clearer and clearer. His dad, Zhang Zizhen's, family background, personality, living environment, growth background, and style of doing things, all kinds of information surged, but in an orderly and logical manner, without appearing chaotic.
Gradually, a vivid image appeared before him. He pieced together a true Zhang Zizhen.
—The hard and difficult life made him yearn for himself to be extraordinary. After accidentally seeing the ancient books in the Taoist temple, he firmly believed in the contents recorded inside and began to brand himself as a savior, a descendant of an ancient declining sect, rather than a rural boy with a hard and ordinary background.
But even a savior has to eat, so he used the fake tricks learned in the Taoist temple to swindle and deceive. In order to make his words more convincing, and also to convince himself, he arranged a remarkable identity for himself: the reincarnation of Emperor Ziwei.
He struggled alone for more than ten years. As he received education, read books, and became wiser, he gradually stopped believing in the contents of the ancient books and gradually stopped mentioning the things in the Taoist temple.
Until one day, he, who had learned how to draw talismans and had a rough understanding of Night Roaming God skills, accidentally obtained a character card and became The Way of the Extraordinary.
Witnessing the existence of superpowers, he discovered that everything recorded in the ancient books was true. From then on, he rekindled his childhood dream and vowed to become a savior, but he had grown up and was no longer frivolous. So he silently leveled up and made friends with three like-minded friends to form the "Xiaoyao" organization.
He shouted the slogan "In order to prevent the world from being destroyed."
That's right, the slogan of the Xiaoyao organization was not aimless, not a joke, but had a reason and a source. As the Compass of Light was born, the Four Xiaoyao verified the records in the ancient books and decided to find the "Sun, Moon, and Stars" in the prophecy. Their disappearance was definitely not because of vendettas or dungeons. They were a team with lofty ideals and clear goals.
They succeeded, or were close to succeeding, but in the end encountered a terrible change. On the road to analyzing the truth of the end of the world, they encountered obstacles and enemies.
Helplessly, the four had to disappear and hide.
Chu Shang, one of the Twin Suns of Raging Flames, was the first to encounter an accident because of his prominent family background, which made it useless to hide. Then came Zhang Zizhen, the founder of the Xiaoyao organization.
The Twin Shadows were of unknown fate, but it was very likely that they also encountered an accident.
Zhang Zizhen was unwilling to see his many years of hard work and dreams go to waste, so he hid the secret in his son's soul.
He passed on his dream to his son and then faced death calmly.
The profiling ended. Zhang Yuanqing took off the pipe and opened his eyes.
Many details can only be glossed over because the existing information can only deduce a rough process!
"Next, two things need to be confirmed. One: Whether the Night Rose and the Soldiers of the Lord destroyed the Chu family in order to seize the rule-type prop to resurrect the leader of the Night Rose, or whether there is another reason behind it, or whether someone is using this incident to promote the destruction of the Chu family.
"Two: The identities and backgrounds of the Twin Shadows."
Finding these two people and confirming whether they are dead or alive will verify my profiling. As my dad's best friends, even if my mom doesn't know them, she should have an impression. I'll ask her about it.
Zhang Yuanqing glanced at his phone. The time was 11:00 a.m. He calculated the time difference. The time in his mother's area should be morning.
He opened his address book and dialed "Chen Shu's" number.
"I'm sorry, the phone you dialed is turned off..." Huh? Still turned off?! Zhang Yuanqing's eyebrows stood up, sensing something was wrong.
His mother was a businesswoman, not a deadbeat who would die at home without anyone noticing. She had to contact customers and employees every day and had many affairs to handle. How could she keep her phone turned off for so long!
"Try calling her work phone."
Zhang Yuanqing remembered that his mother had two phones, one for personal use and one for work.
Maybe her personal phone was broken and she was too lazy to fix it or replace it, but her work phone couldn't be turned off too.
His mother was a person who clearly distinguished between public and private matters. As her son, Zhang Yuanqing didn't know her work number, but that didn't matter.
He sent Mr. Bill a text message:
"Mr. Bill, I need you to do me a favor. Can you tell me my mother's number?"
A dozen seconds later, Mr. Bill replied with a string of numbers (country code + phone number).
Zhang Yuanqing dialed the number, and a familiar voice came from the speaker, indicating that the phone was turned off.
"?"
Did something happen to my mom? Zhang Yuanqing was shocked, followed by a strong panic and fear. His face turned pale instantly, and his adrenaline soared to the limit!
With a tense face and slightly trembling fingers, he dialed Mr. Bill's phone number. After the other party answered, he said quickly:
"Mr. Bill, is there any way you can contact my mom immediately, not by phone, but in reality? Both of her phones are turned off. Something might have happened to her."
His voice didn't tremble, the last stubbornness of the Primordial Heavenly Lord who had experienced life and death.
"I understand, please wait." Mr. Bill's tone suddenly became serious.
The phone hung up, and Zhang Yuanqing waited anxiously, his fingers unconsciously tapping the steering wheel quickly and urgently.
About half a minute later, Mr. Bill's phone call came. Zhang Yuanqing immediately answered the phone and asked anxiously and nervously:
"What's the result?!"
Mr. Bill's laughter came from the phone: "Your mother is fine. I just called and contacted her. Well, she said she doesn't want to talk to you recently and has blocked your phone number."
Zhang Yuanqing was stunned, and he hung up the phone silently.
I'm worried to death here, but she blocked me? Zhang Yuanqing's forehead bulged with blue veins, and the chewing muscles on both sides of his cheeks bulged fiercely!
After a few seconds, he grabbed his phone and started editing a text message to Bill.
"Mr. Bill, please tell her for me that I fuck her mom." Zhang Yuanqing quickly deleted it and re-edited: "Tell her, I 'his uncle....'"
Zhang Yuanqing deleted it again. His finger trembled and clicked randomly on the screen, but he didn't know how to verbally abuse her, because he found that some people, if you scold them, you're the one who gets hurt.
After a few seconds of silence, he threw his phone onto the passenger seat.
Frustrated, he cursed at the steering wheel:
Fuck fuck fuck + "
A few minutes later
"Hey, Queen, call a tow truck over here. I'll send you a location. I didn't have a car accident. I punched the steering wheel and broke it. Why did I break the steering wheel? Because I wanted to punch my mom's dog head. Okay? You talk too much, you know that? Let you do something, just do it. If you say another word, I'll come back and hang you up and beat you."
"Right away, Captain, don't be so fierce."
After waiting in place for half an hour, Zhang Yuanqing in the car heard a thick engine roaring. Looking in the direction of the sound, he saw a sapphire blue supercar speeding towards him.
As it approached the small car parked on the side of the road, the sports car performed a dragon swing, a 180-degree drift, and the sound of the tires rubbing against the asphalt was sharp and loud.
When the drift ended, the blue sports car was exactly side by side with the small car.
The window slowly lowered, and a mixed-race woman wearing sunglasses smiled charmingly and said, "Get in the car, handsome guy. This sister will take you to a hotel."
The wind lifted her slightly curly hair, her white shirt was sexy and fashionable, and she had a charming, sweet smile on her lips.
Zhang Yuanqing's mood suddenly improved, and he opened the car door and said with a smile:
"Get a three-bedroom presidential suite!" "Why?"
"Because a cunning rabbit has three burrows, and I have to check each burrow."
Guan Ya rolled her eyes. After Zhang Yuanqing entered the sports car, she said:
"Leave the car and the keys here. The tow truck will be here soon. I heard from the Queen that you're not in a good mood?"
So she came here specifically because she heard that I was in a bad mood. Zhang Yuanqing sighed: "It's nothing, I had a fight with my mom."
Guan Ya started the car and drove a good distance before tentatively saying, "Auntie has a bad personality??"
This small chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind!
"It's not a personality issue. How can you do business if you have a bad personality and low emotional intelligence?" Zhang Yuanqing said lightly:
"The contradiction between me and her is that she never cares about me, she's only responsible for giving me money. She's just too lazy to care about me. She doesn't care if I get into fights, she doesn't care if I skip class, she doesn't care if I'm sick. All she knows is to work and make money all day long. Maybe in her eyes, as long as she gives money, she's fulfilled her responsibility as a mother. I can't expect anything more. If I expect it, it's my fault, it's my greed. Forget it, let's not talk about her."
Guan Ya chuckled: "Hey, we both have good mothers."
"Oh, you also have a mother who wants to sell her daughter." Zhang Yuanqing said, "I suddenly feel balanced."
"Get out!!!" Guan Ya looked ahead, holding the steering wheel with one hand and waving her hand knife to chop him with the other, angrily saying, "I'm not happy, you can't coax me."
Before Zhang Yuanqing could speak, she suddenly smiled mischievously:
"Let me tell you about Fu Qingyang's tragic childhood, so we'll all feel balanced. Oh, by the way, Ling Jun's childhood was also very miserable. Didn't you notice? Although he belongs to the Taiyi Sect, he's closer to his relatives on his maternal grandfather's side. When he came to the Fu family to play, he also came with the Grand Elder of the Hundred Flowers Society. He only recognizes Teng'er as his younger sister, not those half-siblings.
Back at the Fu Family Bay villa, it was already 1:00 p.m. Zhang Yuanqing and Guan Ya were sitting at the dining table, enjoying the food prepared by the bunny girls!
"Ding ding ding"
The phone on the table kept ringing. He picked it up and checked it. It was Freedom Eagle who had replied to the message:
"Just destroyed a gang group led by The Way of the Extraordinary. Your previous question was too general. I didn't know which direction to investigate. But I retrieved the archives from the past thirty years and found an interesting phenomenon."
"From 1999 to 2004, our orderly organizations here suddenly deepened their cooperation and reached many inexplicable agreements. The major orderly organizations each gave up some of their interests and formed a seemingly loose but close alliance. The cooperation business covers all major industries and even opened up some permissions to each other. At that time, these were remarkable reforms."
"Many of the regulations I know now were reached in those five years. Also, before 1999, the orderly organizations would cooperate with evil professions openly and secretly, but now, cooperation with evil professions has become a taboo. Even the high-level officials in the major organizations dare not openly cooperate with evil professions!"
The Compass of Light appeared in 1998. Overseas organizations suddenly reformed in 1999, and the cooperation between the major orderly organizations deepened. In the local area, at the same time, the five major mainstream organizations also merged into the Five Elements Alliance. Zhang Yuanqing frowned.
The prophecy of the Compass of Light foreshadows a great disaster. The inheritance records of the Xiaoyao Sect contain the end of the world.
After the Compass of Light appeared, the orderly organizations suddenly deepened their cooperation and became increasingly incompatible with the evil professions, coupled with the Spirit Realm's promotion of the establishment of camp confrontation.
A terrible guess appeared in Zhang Yuanqing's mind.
The end of the world is related to the evil professions.
