Tian Gang Chapter 168: Cult (3)
You found your mother? The little beauty looked at me in surprise.
I nodded, but didn't want to discuss this issue any further: she said she would tell me if she found anything. And the Taoist priest also said that if there was anyone in the world who could find out everything in the shortest time, it would be her.
Your mother is so powerful? The little beauty was a little skeptical.
Believe it or not, it’s all I can do, I said.
All right. The little beauty nodded a little disappointedly, then she looked at me and said: Let's talk about what you were doing in the room just now? Were you crying?
You're crying! I told you that you poked your eye.
I don't believe you. Why are both eyes so red and swollen after being poked? Do you want to dig out your own eyeballs?
What's it to you! I said angrily.
Oh, you're still angry. Do you think you can threaten me just by helping me? The little beauty rushed over again with her teeth bared and claws bared: You dare to talk to me like this, you're dead!
In this case, I usually ended up being pushed down on the bed and beaten. In the process of resisting and being suppressed, my depressed mood gradually eased. This playful behavior made me forget the previous grief for a short time.
Tell me immediately if you have any news, otherwise... The beautiful girl waved her fist and left the room.
The news would definitely not get out. Given my cold mother's attitude, she would not tell me even if she knew everything.
But I didn't really take it seriously. China has been regarded as a cult for thousands of years. But what does this have to do with me? Expecting me to maintain world peace is like expecting a crab to save the iceberg from melting.
After the little beauty left the room, I stared at the jade pendant for a long time. For a while, I wanted to throw away this priceless jade pendant.
But after thinking for a long time, I decided to continue hanging it around my neck.
The old Taoist priest is so powerful, yet he still practices diligently in his room every day. His attitude towards practice makes me feel ashamed.
After practicing the Kongming Mantra for more than a month, my spiritual power has greatly increased. At least in the performance of the Wanfa Moni, there has been a significant improvement.
When this spell was used before, only a thin line appeared, but now it is as thick as two fingers. However, compared with the sight of the whole body emitting green light and instantly dispersing the thunderclouds in the sky when the divine bestowal was seen, the current achievement is really not worth mentioning.
It’s time for dinner. Liao Xianer knocked on the door twice.
I hurried over to open the door. She looked at me carefully and then laughed: I thought you were joking, but it turns out you were really crying. Did something unhappy happen to you?
She was just joking, I just poked my eye, I argued.
Liao Xianer laughed again and said, "Don't worry, if you don't want to talk, I won't ask any more questions. Let's go downstairs to eat, Grandpa will be back today too."
I nodded and went downstairs with her.
In fact, people are very strange. When they encounter something that is stuck in their hearts, they want to tell others. But many times, they say nothing, nothing happened, etc. This self-deceiving attitude is hard to understand.
Following Liao Xianer and watching her light and graceful steps, I couldn't help but think of my mother.
The two of them are similar to some extent, such as their extraordinary temperament, but Liao Xian'er is more like a sister next door, without such a strong sense of distance.
When I went downstairs, I found that Mr. Liao had returned and was sitting at the dinner table talking with the Taoist priest.
When I walked over, I heard Mr. Liao say: If this experiment is successful , the machine should be assembled within a month. However, many parts cannot be made in China and can only be brought back from abroad. These are strictly controlled and will take some time.
The old Taoist nodded and replied with only two words: As soon as possible.
Mr. Liao nodded, then looked at me and said with a smile: Come down, come on, let’s eat.
I have an inexplicable sense of intimacy with Mr. Liao. Perhaps it is because he is the first person who has shown such concern for me since I entered the spiritual practice circle. The old Taoist is also very good, but his attitude is a bit cold, and he is not the kind of person who likes to talk a lot. Ever since Gamu cooperated with the undertaker to set him up in Xishuangbanna, he has been talking less and less.
But Mr. Liao was different. He was very nice to me and talked a lot. I often had the illusion that he was my grandfather.
Is it going well? I sat at the dining table and looked at him.
Well, not bad. The energy matcher will start the experiment soon. If the wave is captured, there will be no problem. This is a big problem. Overcoming it is a big step forward for us. Whether it is to find the same stone beast or to continue research, it will be of great help. When Mr. Liao spoke, he was very happy. It can be seen that he was in a very good mood.
That’s good… I laughed along.
Your eyes?
Someone is not smart, he poked his eyes with his fingers, he is a pig, ignore him! The little beauty rushed over and hugged Mr. Liao's neck: Grandpa Liao, did you bring me anything delicious?
Old Liao patted her arm and said with a smile: "You are a greedy ghost, you only know how to eat, go and sit down. If you want to eat something, just let Xiaoxianer take you there. I am very busy now."
Well... the little beauty let him go with a little disappointment and finished at the dining table. However, her attention was soon attracted by the food on the table.
The meal ended in harmony.
After dinner, the old Taoist went upstairs to continue his practice, while Liao Xianer and the little beauty accompanied Liao Lao on the sofa to rest and chat. With both of them here, I was embarrassed to leave after dinner, so I could only stay there and listen to them chatting about family matters.
At this time, a few people came in. Two men and one woman, all carrying boxes in their hands.
Eh... seeing them, Mr. Liao raised his hand to look at his watch and said: It turns out that the day has come. I was so busy that I forgot about it.
The three men came up to them, bowed slightly to Mr. Liao and Liao Xian'er, then put a box on the table and opened it.
I saw two syringes and rubber bands in the opened box.
On this side, Mr. Liao and Liao Xian'er stretched out their arms skillfully and sat quietly on the sofa.
A man and a woman took a syringe needle and a rubber band, and then came over. Then, they drew some blood from the arms of Liao Lao and Liao Xian'er.
Then someone opened the other two boxes, and to my surprise, these small boxes actually contained cryogenic storage devices. The blood of the two people was put into special test tubes and then placed in the boxes.
Then, the three of them nodded to Mr. Liao and left quietly. During the whole process, they did not say a word, and Mr. Liao did not say anything to them either.
This is... I asked curiously.
Xiaoxianer should have told you about our family's special constitution. Old Liao smiled and said: Although this should be a good thing for most people, it is very worrying for the two of us. After all, being different from ordinary people means being strange, and being strange means being different. So every once in a while, a special medical laboratory will come to draw blood for testing to see if there is any abnormality in the blood.
I see... No wonder you seem to have experienced this many times. I suddenly realized: But blood draws are done on an empty stomach, so why...
We are special in that we can only detect some abnormalities when we have eaten and digested the food.
What's abnormal?
Haha, this is a bit complicated to explain, I'll tell you later... Mr. Liao laughed, he looked at the newly bought big clock in the living room, stood up and said: "Okay, I should go back to the laboratory. I'm busy recently and may not be back for a long time. Xiaoxianer, please pay more attention to me at home."
Liao Xianer smiled and said: Don't worry, it has been more than a month .
Mr. Liao smiled as he left the community by car. I watched the car drive out of the community gate and couldn't help but sigh that he is still strong despite his age.
Time continued to pass quickly, and Mr. Liao came back less and less often.
The test of the energy matcher was very successful. As the most critical core component of the detection machine, the success of this experiment means that the entire project can proceed smoothly.
This is good news, but it is also bad news.
This indicates that the old Taoist priest will probably follow the path that his junior fellow apprentice has taken in a few months. Because the old Taoist priest suddenly told me one day that he had tried to split the stone beast not long ago, and a mysterious ancient road did appear, but it disappeared in just a short moment. When he split it again, the ancient road remained even shorter, and he could not step into it at all.
He said that this might be because I absorbed the essence of the stone beast.
According to my guess, the day when the old Taoist split the stone beast should be after he came back from the underworld. Because that day I said I wanted to go back to the city, he readily agreed and asked me to take the little beauty with me. He was like arranging his funeral, so it was normal for him to split the stone beast and want to step into the ancient road after I and the little beauty left the Taoist temple.
When he handed the stone beast to Mr. Liao, I didn't pay attention to see if there were any signs of chopping on it, which made me feel a little regretful. If I had known this earlier, I shouldn't have left the Taoist temple.
Mr. Liao’s speculation about the world made the old Taoist even more convinced that his junior brother had gone to another world, which was not the underworld.
During this period, the little beauty still pestered me every day to ask about news.
I really don't want to go back to my extremely indifferent mother, so I can only keep putting it off, or maybe use fake news to fool her temporarily.
From the little beauty, I also learned that the cult was still active everywhere. They were arresting more and more people, and the proportion of practitioners among them was also increasing.
This is not a good phenomenon.
Go ask! If you fool me again, I will kill you! The little beauty threatened with gnashing teeth.
Mr. Zhang! Mr. Zhang! Liao Xianer’s voice rang out from outside.
Something's going on, go out and have a look! I used this as a reasonable excuse, and the little beauty had no choice but to follow me out angrily. This is also because no one has disappeared recently in the Du Sheng Mai, otherwise, she would have pestered me 24 hours a day.
What happened? When I saw Liao Xianer, the old Taoist just opened the door and asked.
Grandpa just called and said that the machine has been assembled successfully and asked if you want to go and see it. Liao Xianer replied.
There is almost no need to guess the answer to this kind of question. The old Taoist strode out of the door and uttered two words: lead the way.
