Chapter 91 An open and honest meeting, their respective investigations (8k)(3/4)
If you increase the price, you must increase the price. If you lose money, you will lose blood.
"Brother Qing?" Su Li really didn't dare to ask for it.
Twenty drops of the finest nectar felt hot to his hands even when he held it.
"Brother Su, just take it."
After giving it away, how could Yu Ziqing take it back? It's good if the value is high. If the value is high enough, it will be more valuable when it is given away.
"After Brother Su goes back, he can find some of the best spiritual liquid to dilute it. Brother Su can decide on his own how to deal with it.
It would be best to help Brother Su gain a foothold in the Shadow Division.
As for the other bottle, dilute it and give it to Ji Bochang.
You should first see how he is doing when the time comes.
If the reason for his failure to advance has nothing to do with demonic thoughts, then forget it."
"I think it's 80% related. People in the Shadow Division are exposed to too many things. It's difficult to be open-minded on the road of cultivation."
"Then everything depends on Brother Su."
After seeing Su Li off, Yu Ziqing let out a long sigh.
After all, he has a kind heart and cannot keep up with the ideas of profiteers.
…
Su Li delivered the filthy gas bucket and took care of it before returning to life with the empty magic weapon.
When I returned to the Imperial Capital, I went to work on time as usual, and got off work on time when I had nothing to do. During meetings, I sat there and listened carefully as usual, but did not express my opinion.
If you are asked, you are just following the crowd. Your Majesty is right, what your Majesty said is true.
Ah, yes, yes.
Ah yes yes yes.
I have little qualifications and weak abilities. Everything depends on you adults.
When there is any task, it is left to the people below to do it, and all the credit goes to the people below.
Su Li just messed around like this, and gradually, no one paid attention to him anymore.
Ten days later, when Su Li was looking at a document, he asked his subordinate.
"this place……"
"Sir, this is what Master Ji once commented. We... don't know what it means."
"That's it..." Su Li nodded, not embarrassing the uneasy subordinate: "How is Master Ji's recovery from his injury recently? Do you know?"
"Sir, I heard that you can now go out and walk around."
"Oh, that's good. Do you know where Master Ji's residence is now?"
"Know."
"Well, please take me to visit Mr. Ji. I have indeed discovered many problems recently.
Now that Mr. Ji has almost recovered from his injury, he went to hand over some unfinished issues.
Besides, logically speaking, I should have paid a visit long ago.
I am not qualified enough and my ability is far inferior to Master Ji.
When I go to visit, I'll also see if I can ask Mr. Ji to give me some advice."
Su Li brought many documents and was led by his subordinates to Ji Bochang's residence.
As a former Shadow Messenger of the Shadow Division, even if he had the opportunity to retire, he would not be able to live outside the Imperial Capital.
All the way to Ji's house, they handed over their names and were soon greeted by a doorman.
When I saw Ji Bochang again, although he seemed to be walking as usual, his appearance was at least twenty years older than when Su Li saw him last year.
This kind of appearance on a monk is a sign of severe trauma.
Su Li was not in a hurry to ask anything else, just exchanged normal greetings, then handed over some things that had not been handed over before, and asked for advice on some things by the way.
After asking for advice, Su Li took advantage of the situation and asked.
"Su's qualifications are shallow and his abilities are weak. He has occupied his current position and is full of anxiety, fearing that he will fail his holy hopes.
I wonder if Su can visit me more often in the future, please give me some advice, Mr. Ji."
Su Li's words ended here, still in his capacity as the current Shadow Envoy.
What else could Ji Bochang say?
It's not a big deal, and it gives him enough face, so of course he won't say no.
After the first visit, a few days later, Su Li came to visit again with some gifts.
After doing this seven times in a row, Su Li came to the door again.
"Teacher, I'm disturbing you again."
"Come on, come on. Don't bring anything with you when you come. Come in quickly." Ji Bo Chang waved his hand cheerfully, recognizing the name of the teacher.
He retired, could get a good death, and have a current shadow user who is humble, studious, and a good person. Call him teacher.
Then what is there to be dissatisfied with?
After coming in and asking for advice, Su Li looked around.
"I wonder if there is a secret room here, teacher?"
"Huh?" Ji Bochang's eyes narrowed, and then he nodded slowly: "Come with me."
Entering the secret room, Su Li took out a jade bottle.
"Teacher, these are fifty drops of nectar. Although they are all diluted, they should be of great help to the teacher."
"This..." Ji Bochang was surprised.
"Teacher has been working for the Shadow Division for many years. After seeing too much darkness, it is inevitable that evil thoughts will breed.
I feel that if the teacher can get rid of the evil thoughts and take good care of his body, he may not be able to make further progress."
With that said, Su Li took out another jade slip.
"I got this from Lin Guogong's mansion, the alms ritual, the alms mantra and the alms mudra.
Teacher, it’s better not to give up, give it a try, it’s always right.”
Ji Bo often shook his head and smiled bitterly. He thought Su Li had something confidential to say.
Unexpectedly, this is what happened.
And fifty drops of sweet rain is indeed a big deal.
Ji Bochang wanted to push the jade bottle back, but when he saw Su Li's eyes and thought about his situation, he hesitated and nodded.
"Okay, then I'll accept it shamelessly."
"Then I will take a leave of absence and go to Bushi Town with the teacher."
After coming out of Ji Zhai, Su Li felt quite complicated.
After several visits, he has confirmed many things, but he has not yet produced the evidence and clues.
Without taking it out to test Ji Bochang's reaction, he had basically confirmed that Ji Bochang definitely didn't know those things.
There are people who want Ji Bochang to be the scapegoat.
A scapegoat that is both satisfying and reasonable for everyone.
Because the people who framed Ji Bochang didn't know a thing.
The secret method of melting snow that Ji Bochang had mastered could indeed break through formations silently, and it could also leave the same mark on the broken door left by Yu Ziqing.
However, three years ago, before Ji Bochang failed to advance, something went wrong.
At that time, Ji Bochang's secret method of melting snow could no longer be used. If he used it again, he would melt his own hands first.
Before this, Ji Bochang had never disclosed this matter to anyone.
A few days later, Su Li took leave and accompanied Ji Bochang to Bushi Town.
Next to the empty crack in the abyss, a new person came.
Su Li helped Ji Bochang arrange the altar and asked Ji Bochang to go and give alms by himself. He also told him all the important points.
As the alms filled with sweet rain began, countless hungry ghosts crawled out of the abyss.
Wisps of black energy flew out of Ji Bochang's body and fell into the hands of those hungry ghosts.
Watching the group of hungry ghosts retreat, Ji Bochang touched his chest with a look of surprise on his face.
The demonic thoughts in his heart have indeed disappeared.
If you take good care of your body and regain your spirit, it is indeed possible to be hit again.
