Chapter 18: The Secret of the Dead
I didn't look back at the footsteps that sounded far behind me, because I didn't have to look back, and the person who came had already begun to speak loudly: "It seems that I am really timely this time, and you have not yet entered the water." ”
It's Xiao Chengqian, so I don't have to look back.
Everyone knew about Xiao Chengqian's arrival, so no one was surprised, including Tao Bai and Lu Shan, who didn't say a word, and were silent.
Xiao Chengqian walked up to me in a few steps and sat down, and said with a smile: "Are you waiting for me?" ”
"Waiting for you? Not! It's because you can't move until after 11 p.m., and it's a bit cold at night. As I spoke, I looked at my watch on my wrist, it was 10:03, and in less than an hour, I was about to go into the water.
As for the other candidate to go into the water, the one who is tentatively set is Brother Chengxin.
Xiao Chengqian stood up indifferently and said: "Because the place is too sensitive, there is only one chance to go into the water, and it is normal not to wait for me." However, since I'm here, let's take a step to speak. ”
After speaking, Xiao Chengqian walked towards the side where no one was, and I followed, but was stopped by Tao Bai, who still lowered his head and said to me in that somewhat embarrassed tone: "You can't go over there to talk." ”
"What do you mean?" My face sank, and if I could accept covert surveillance, I would never tolerate such blatant restrictions on personal freedom.
My attitude is still like this, Xiao Chengqian's attitude is more direct, he drank: "Don't take chicken feathers as an arrow, go on the side, I'm not welcome to block me again." ”
Faced with my and Xiao Chengqian's attitude, Tao Bai's head lowered lower, and his voice became even more timid: "Don't avoid us talking, it will be difficult for me to do it." ”
He was like a child with little confidence and some fear, but his body didn't let go of the way, and it made people embarrassed to lose their temper again, and at the same time, Lu Shan also came over.
"What's going on?" Lu Shan asked, Brother Chengxin, and they also noticed this.
The expression on my face was not very good, and I lit a cigarette with some irritation, I knew that Xiao Chengqian must have a secret I wanted to know, and he was ready to tell me.
But Tao Bai and Lu Shan stopped like this, did they really want to force me to do something with them?
Xiao Chengqian estimated that the eldest young master had a temper attack, and in the face of Tao Bai, he suddenly took out a special phone and smashed it on him, saying: "Call you myself and ask them if they are allowed to talk to Chengyi alone for a while." ”
Lu Shan remained silent, but Tao Bai silently picked up the phone and stepped aside to make a call, and he really did it.
After a cigarette, Tao Bai came back, handed the phone back to Xiao Chengqian, and then pulled Lu Shan's sleeve, and the two of them retreated.
Tao Bai didn't say a word during the whole process, but his attitude was already obvious, obviously the boss allowed me to communicate with Xiao Chengqian alone, which made me even more suspicious, but fortunately, Xiao Chengqian and I finally had time to communicate alone, just ask clearly.
And Xiao Chengqian silently walked a long way, to another mountain, we stood on the top of the mountain, the mountain wind at night was very cold, blowing Xiao Chengqian's hair and me, the quiet moonlight reflected in the Tianchi, it seemed that the whole world was very quiet.
"Why did you allow me to talk to you alone?" I spoke.
"All the forces are intertwined, and there is no clear black and white, since I can know where you are in your operation, and get your secret phone number? Do you think it's strange to allow me to talk to you? Xiao Chengqian said with a smile.
I was silent, and suddenly felt that it would be a fool to ask about this again, Xiao Chengqian should not have the patience to explain to me how the forces are entangled, who are their people in the department, I just need to know that Xiao Chengqian's forces of their organization can affect the department.
"Do you remember that deserted village? We met for the first time. Xiao Chengqian suddenly opened his mouth to talk about this.
I nodded, how could I forget everything in the deserted village?
"At that time, we went directly to the deserted village by helicopter, and then obtained the purple plant and took Yang Sheng away, do you remember?" Xiao Chengqian continued.
Of course, I also remember that the back of Yang Sheng leaving is still one of my clearest memories, but Xiao Chengqian looked at me deeply, and the implication was not so simple.
I first looked at Xiao Chengqian a little strangely, and then I thought of a possibility, and at that time, the master vaguely mentioned some words to me, I understood something at once, and looked at Xiao Chengqian with some shock; "Is there a department behind you?"
"I can't say more, the only thing I can tell you is that there is not only one force that supports us, some things have been discovered since the 60s, and there have always been people who are very fanatical and fanatical" Speaking of this, Xiao Chengqian really didn't say anything more.
In fact, I have no intention of caring what the purpose of those forces is, and how they are entangled, the only question I care about is Jiang Yi, I asked: "Does Jiang Yi have anything to do with the whole thing?" ”
"He? I don't know, do you think I can know this with my current position in the organization? Xiao Chengqian shook his head and said directly and helplessly.
Yes, not to mention that my master took away many elders of their master's sect, let's just say that Xiao Chengqian's identity as a junior, the core secrets he can access are also limited.
I was silent for a moment before I spoke: "In that case, there are so many complicated things behind the scenes, why do you call me when you know that my phone is being monitored?" ”
"That's the reason I told you, don't let you go into the water, there is something in the water, if you bring it up recklessly, I'm afraid the consequences will be very serious." Xiao Chengqian said seriously.
"What's in the water?" When I asked this, I had already thought of a possibility, and looked at Xiao Chengqian in disbelief.
"Where that thing is, it can never be too peaceful, the old village chief is the best illustration, so it has always been preserved, what do you say is in the water?" Xiao Chengqian looked at me seriously and said.
"Purple plants." After getting Xiao Chengqian's affirmative answer, I calmed down, I vaguely understood what the ancestor meant by leaving those three chains, but at the same time, I was also puzzled in my heart, why did Tao Bai tell me that nothing was found underwater?
"In that case, do you know that you still have to go into the water? There is a legend that there are water monsters in this X pool, but they are not naturally grown, and there are many underwater puzzles, such as where are those water monsters hidden? If they are as powerful as the old village chief, do you think they have the ability to resist underwater? Not to mention, if you bring that purple plant with you, how many forces will covet it, and you can't keep it with your strength! If you hand it over, can you guarantee that it will fall into the right hands? The only way is to destroy it, but since I can know about the purple plants under the water, how many people do you think know about it? Destroy it, and you're the target! Back then, your master didn't do this either. Xiao Chengqian told me very seriously.
"What did you say?" I was shocked all of a sudden, looking at Xiao Chengqian, I knew that Xiao Chengqian must have a secret, but I didn't expect him to know so much.
"This matter is like a bureau, using you to complete it, you have no choice between advancing and retreating, and the only way is to be firmly tied to the department. Do you think your master didn't know that there were purple plants hidden in the deserted village? If we hadn't come forward to take the purple plants away back then, your master would probably have fallen into this dilemma. Xiao Chengqian said this to me.
I looked at Xiao Chengqian in surprise, there was such a secret back then? But my question blurted out all of a sudden: "Why do you want to use our old Li lineage?" ”
Is there any secret in between?
Faced with my question, Xiao Chengqian suddenly smiled and said to me: "As a person of Lao Li's lineage, don't you still know your lineage, no, to be exact, the biggest secret of our two lineages, and that history?" ”
