Chapter 710 Black Book, Check Surveillance

“???”

Wen Yan sat in his seat with his hands in his pockets, with a lot of question marks in his head.

No, you guys have been chatting here for a long time, and the result is to drag me out to treat me like a beast of burden?

If you are someone who is determined to advance yourself, this is indeed an opportunity. As long as you do your job well and don’t encounter any unexpected problems later, this will greatly enhance your qualifications.

But if something unexpected happens, this kind of character will either take the blame or be able to find someone who can cover the consequences.

As for whether something unexpected would happen, Wen Yan just thought about it for a moment and ignored the option that nothing unexpected would happen.

If everything goes well and there are no problems, he will write the word “Wen” backwards.

These guys, singing in unison, seem to be in perfect harmony and working very smoothly.

He now doubted whether Luo Shen had already thought of this and was using him as a smooth excuse.

What do these people want to do?
Wen Yan looked at Qingxuzi with a puzzled look. Qingxuzi exchanged a glance with Wen Yan, nodded slightly, and gave Wen Yan a look that said, “I’ll tell you later.”

Then Wen Yan looked at Luo Shen again. Luo Shen was still as dignified and virtuous as before. She smiled and nodded slightly, even kinder than before, and it was obvious that she agreed with this proposal.

Wen Yan thought about it and didn’t interrupt him on the spot, but just said.

“I am young and energetic, and I have never been to school. I have never studied the classics properly. How about we talk about it in detail later and then give you an answer?”

Naturally, everyone had no objection.

However, other people in the Three Mountains and Five Peaks couldn’t help but think of the previous rumors.

It seemed to have come from the Lieyang tribe or somewhere else, saying that Wen Yan had been a lonely child, and had to work to earn money to support himself at a very young age, so he had never been to school.

Therefore, now, whether it is the elders from Fuyu Mountain or Qingxuzi from Qingcheng, they all ask Wen Yan to study more and read more books regardless of whether he has time or not.

After hearing this, Qingxuzi nodded and felt that there was nothing wrong with what Wen Yan said. It seemed to be true in his impression that Wen Yan had never been to school.

But after this thought came to his mind, he suddenly remembered meeting Wen Yan in Decheng before.

It seems that Wen Yan is still an employee of Decheng Funeral Home, a regular employee who was recruited in a formal manner.

If he remembered correctly, Wen Yan had not yet been discovered to be the contemporary Lieyang. So how did he get into the system when he had never been to school?
Qingxuzi’s eyes suddenly became dazed, his soul suddenly shook, and the Taoist talisman in his heart suddenly lit up.

No, something is wrong.

This part of his memory had been tampered with.

Qingxuzi suppressed his doubt and uncertainty. This situation was not suitable for asking questions, so he would talk about it later.

Let’s settle this matter first. Luo Shen’s matter will definitely have to be postponed. Let Wen Yan follow, it won’t be a big problem.

There are some areas where Wen Yan and Sanshanwuyue have different ideas, but that’s normal. At least Wen Yan is sitting on the right side of the fence and they can communicate if there are any problems.

If Luo Shen really wanted to do something inappropriate, Wen Yan would definitely not follow her and make trouble.

Qingxuzi presided over the meeting and decided the most important part. Qingxuzi also upheld the principles of openness and fairness, and opened the forum, inviting representatives from other mountain gates and representatives from the Lieyang Tribe present to express their opinions.

After everything was passed, Qingxuzi took a piece of white jade, and as the current headmaster of Qingcheng, he printed the jade seal and spiritual contract, burned the yellow book of heaven, and petitioned the ancestor.

After all the procedures were completed, this special jade talisman turned into a special summons, allowing Luoshen to walk on land.

This is certainly not a simple permission. The core is to allow Luoshen to walk on land while still carrying the authority of Luoshen, allowing her to use the power she can mobilize on land when necessary.

As for how well she can perform, that all depends on Luo Shen herself.

This is a very ancient agreement, which existed much earlier than the emergence of Taoism. Later, it became something almost like a rule.

After finishing the work, the atmosphere became much more relaxed, and the atmosphere was very harmonious when communicating.

Luo Shen personally traveled along the Yellow River, almost covering most of the main stream. She had seen a lot of things and had a good idea of ​​what was going on.

Knowing that humanity is flourishing here and that the power of ordinary people exceeds that of previous dynasties, even if your in-depth understanding of this era may not be as good as that of an ordinary person, you still have the right attitude.

Respect naturally requires strength as a foundation.

Everyone here also hopes to get along in a friendly manner and not cause any trouble.

After the ritual ended and everyone went into the house to chat in a small group, Qingxuzi pulled Wen Yan into the small room.

“Don’t you have something you want to ask?”

“It’s not that I want to ask, what I mean is, don’t you have anything to tell me?” Wen Yan was puzzled.

“To be honest, given the current situation, as long as we want to advance friendly exchanges with the water system, we must agree to this.

As for the details after agreeing, that is another matter.

And we must arrange one of our own to act as supervisor, and this person cannot be one of the older generation in the mountains.

There are indeed many candidates among the younger generation. If Yan Zhikong from Laojun Mountain is selected, other mountain gates will basically agree.

But as long as the other party is sincere in moving forward, the only person who cannot refuse is you.

You are very familiar with the water system, and most importantly, you are the person who directly promoted the appearance of the talisman of the Goddess of Salvation.

You also have the divine talisman of water element, so our submission will go smoothly.

You should also know that if I do this, there is a high probability that the master will not agree.

In terms of strength, background, qualifications, and other aspects, there is no one more suitable than you.

If anything happens, you basically just need to watch.

If you have any problem, you can call anyone.”

As he said that, Qingxuzi stuffed a jade talisman into Wen Yan’s hand.

“Hey, isn’t this the jade talisman given to Luoshen?”

“In fact, there are two pieces, just like the tiger talisman. Both pieces are there. Only when they are present can the rules be met at certain times, and the strongest power can be mobilized to do something. Half is with Luoshen, and the other half is yours.”

“So, what exactly is this going to do?”

“We all know that the Yellow River issue is very complicated and our identities are not actually suitable.

On the other hand, we haven’t forgotten the Taiyi Temple incident that happened last year so quickly.

When faced with major events, the three mountains and five peaks are mostly of the same spirit.

But remember, people from the Three Mountains and Five Peaks may not be like this.”

At night, food and lodging were arranged. Luo Shen was also asked about her taste and dietary taboos, and was invited to try the food as well.

Qingxuzi and the Wudang leader went to the Lieyang tribe to ask for an underground space.

On the seventh underground floor, there is a large space, enough for Qingxuzi to hold a ceremony.

“Why are you holding a ceremony so deep underground in the middle of the night? What on earth are you doing here?” The Wudang headmaster was puzzled.

If Qingxuzi had not asked him to protect him, he would have thought that Qingxuzi was going to do something evil.

I have only heard of high-level Dafa, but I have never heard of opening a Dafa underground.

“Have you forgotten what Qingcheng is best at?”

Qingxuzi just replied with one sentence, then took out a patinated flag and waved it gently.

In an instant, the underground space was filled with a gloomy and ghostly aura. Condensation water quickly emerged from the ceiling, dripping down and gathering on the ground in front of the altar.

Soon a thin layer of black water gathered on the ground, and the yin energy around it became increasingly dense.

Qingxuzi chanted strange and cold spells, which were unclear, as if he was speaking with mud in his mouth.

After a few minutes, Qingxuzi finished chanting the entire spell. The scene reflected on the water in front of him was no longer the same as the environment here.

In the reflected scene, you can even see the pale white moon.

As ripples appeared on the water surface, beads of sweat began to appear on Qingxuzi’s forehead, and his aura became slightly unstable.

Beneath the water, the shadow of a black book emerged, and the environment above the water became dreamlike.

It was as if from this moment on, what was beneath the water was real, and what was above the water was the reflected image.

In the air, the reflection of a black book appeared, followed by a blurry ghost figure kneeling on the water, with his hands raised high, holding the black book.

A crack suddenly appeared on the black book, and an eye slowly opened.

The ghost holding the black book carefully adjusted his hands, allowing the black book to slowly stand up.

The one-eye on the black book looked at Qingxuzi coldly, and the ghost kneeling on the ground spoke in a deep voice.

“who?”

“The current headmaster of Qingcheng, Qingxuzi.”

“What’s the matter?”

“I want to check, is it that I have forgotten something? Or is there something that has tampered with my memory?”

“No.”

“It concerns the Qingcheng disciple, Taoist Bu Yu.”

The single eye on the black book moved, and the black book rustled. The moment it turned, it was as if it was directly turning Qingxuzi’s memory, and many scenes related to Wen Yan emerged in it.

The book flipped faster and faster, and finally closed with a bang. The one eye on the black book closed its eye and did not open it again until a long while later.

“Both.”

“Thank you for coming.”

“I will count this as your merit, but you are not allowed to wake me up again until I am revived to the next stage.”

There seemed to be a hint of fatigue that was difficult to conceal in Black Book’s cold eyes.

After saying this, the reflected black book turned into a phantom and disappeared.

The dreamlike environment around them also returned to normal, and the reflections in the water changed from looking real to becoming reflections again.

Then, the reflection slowly disappeared.

After everything was over, Qingxuzi still did not move. He waited until the four incense sticks in the incense burner were completely burned out before he let out a long sigh and ended the ceremony.

The Wudang headmaster standing in the corner frowned and walked forward.

“When did you, Qingcheng, have this kind of foundation?”

Of course he could see that the black book was the ghost. The ghost holding the black book looked powerful, but in fact it was just a puppet controlled by the ghost.

It is like a book with disabled legs that has installed an intelligent prosthesis for itself.

I’ve never heard that there are still ghosts and gods in Qingcheng before.

This was obviously the heritage left over from the past, which had not yet revived, but was forcibly awakened by Qingxuzi for a while.

Qingxuzi did not answer this question either. As an old-established mountain gate among the Three Mountains and Five Peaks, how could it not have some background?

“When I was discussing with Luo Shen during the day, I suddenly realized that something was wrong, and I felt the need to verify it.

You heard it just now. I forget some things, especially things about Wen Yan. That’s normal.

Wen Yan had suffered a lot before, and although we don’t know the details, we all know what happened in general.

But not remembering things and having your memory tampered with are completely different in nature.”

Qingxuzi smiled and waited for the Wudang leader to speak.

“If you have something to say, say it. If you have anything to say, let it go! Don’t keep people guessing!” The head of Wudang didn’t tolerate him either.

“You’re such a boring person, I mean, someone even tampered with my memory.

I can’t tolerate this, and neither can you.

Then, we have a legitimate reason to intervene in related matters.

I just need to ask the master for instructions. What I said during the day to let Wen Yan call anyone he wants when he encounters a problem this time is literal.”

The Wudang headmaster sighed.

“You are really good at beating around the bush. So you are waiting here.”

The literal meaning is that Wen Yan can shake the people, including but not limited to the living, the dead, the neither alive nor dead, the ascended ancestors, the gods in heaven and so on, anyone that Qingcheng can shake.

Now that the Wudang leader has been brought in, Wudang must be included as well.

With Qingxuzi’s actions, everything is completely legitimate.

The head of Wudang secretly sighed. Although Qingxuzi was a shameless old man, he had a real purpose and put so much effort into giving full support to Wen Yan.

“You also know, if Luo Shen wants to investigate something, how would she investigate it? It is impossible for her to check the surveillance.” Qingxuzi said casually.

Upon hearing this, the Wudang leader understood immediately.

They really are checking surveillance, but the footage they are checking is clearer than surveillance footage.

That requires giving Wen Yan enough support.

After coming out from underground, the head of Wudang did not wait for Qingxuzi to continue to be a good person. He took out his phone and communicated with Fuyu Mountain first, and then took the initiative to contact other mountain gates in the Three Mountains and Five Peaks.

After making the contact, the head of Wudang took out the portrait of the founder and got the job done.

It also means that if Wen Yan wants to call someone, she can do it.

On the other side, Wen Yan slept until the early morning. After waking up, he came to the river and looked at Luo Shen who was sitting by the river.

“Sister, where do you want to check first?”

“Let’s start from here. Are you ready? Do you want to bring some dry food and a water bag? We may be out for several days, and there may be no hotel this time.”

“Then I’ll go get some.”

After a moment, Luo Shen walked towards the river, with Wen Yan following beside her.

In an instant, the feeling of falling came into his mind, and Wen Yan immediately understood how Luo Shen was going to investigate.

He was wondering before, how could Luo Shen, a lonely person, find out the truth? Now he understood, she was ready to be the monster on the scene.

The surrounding waves were surging and the water was churning. They went under the water, but their bodies did not touch any water at all.

After walking out for more than ten meters, Wen Yan felt that the feeling of falling disappeared.
