I heard it's not good to be a magic stick

At four o'clock in the afternoon, when the sun was still shining, Yan Xi gathered Xuan Ming's team members to go to the top platform of the tanker.

It was here that Zhang Linle met Chai Ziyang while watching the sunrise in the early morning. Unexpectedly, this place changed suddenly in the afternoon. It was upgraded from a platform for enjoying the scenery to a dojo for opening altars.

The top platform is about [-] square meters. The staff set up a mahogany table in the middle, pointing to the south. On the table are copper incense burners, cinnabar, brushes, and Taoist instruments and spells.

There are certain requirements for opening the altar. For all Dafa, you must choose an open place.As the saying goes: Above the nine heavens, only Tao is the only one.

If you want to introduce the power of the upper world to act, you must burn incense first. With the help of natural media such as wind, rain, thunder and lightning, call for the unification of gods, humans and ghosts. Use special secret spells to open mysterious passages, and you also need to have experts around you to assist in the practice.

More than ten worship mats were spread out in a circle, surrounding the altar.

After Xuanming and several people were in place, there were staff to guide the position, and Zhang Linle, Xu Xu, Li Jingxing, and Yan Xi sat together.

Others also arrived one after another, and they were guided to the designated locations. Zhang Linle only asked that Chai Ziyang not be placed next to him. Fortunately, as soon as Suzaku arrived, they were guided to the other side of the ashram, to meet with Xuanming on the other side. see.

Zhang Linle breathed a sigh of relief, turned to look at Xu Xu, who was looking at him, and said the word "North" with his lips.

He suddenly realized, and sighed that he was worrying for nothing. Xuanming was the Great Emperor Zhenwu of the North, so he must be arranged in the north of the dojo, and Suzaku was a fire, which represented the south, so he naturally sat opposite them.Then I thought, where did Xu Xu want to say "North", he clearly wanted to say "stupid".

After everyone was seated, the sky was already dark, except for the direct sunlight during the day, after the sun disappeared, it was much cooler.Zhang Linle guessed that the time was almost up, so he took out a bag of biscuits from his jeans pocket, tore a hole, and handed it to Xu Xu.

Xu Xu shook his head. He just fell asleep not long ago. He took a bath and ate just an hour ago, and now he can't eat anything.

Zhang Linle tilted his head to look at Li Jingxing and Xu Xu, one calmly closed his eyes, and the other looked at the dojo worriedly. It seemed that he didn't want to eat snacks, so Zhang Linle quickly wiped out a bag of biscuits.

When he looked up to find the trash can, he happened to meet Chai Ziyang's gaze. Zhang Linle lowered his eyes quickly, and in a panic crushed the trash bag in his hand and rubbed it into his trouser pocket.

Has Chai Ziyang been looking at me?How long did he watch it?He saw all the way I was wolfing down just now?Um... how embarrassing.

Just when Zhang Linle's heart was at war between heaven and man, Jiang Yue had already approved the scarlet cassock, put on a golden crown, and stood in the middle of the dojo.

"Xu Xu." She called out.

As soon as Xu Xu changed from his previous idleness, he straightened his body and stood up, and walked to Jiang Yue's side respectfully, feeling like a humble son.

Jiang Yue whispered a few words to him, Xu Xu listened carefully and nodded from time to time.

Except for Qinglong who was not present at the scene, all the other three branches were occupied, and the mentor of Xuanji was sitting in Qinglong's place, so as to maintain the balance of yin and yang gossip. Whether it was a member of the branch or the mentor of Xuanji, everyone The faces are very serious.

Li Jingxing's eyes were very focused, and he was firmly attached to Xu Xu's back, while Yan Xi was also sitting upright, but Zhang Linle, who was a backup player, had no real sense of fighting. Keep staring at this side.

Zhang Linle wanted to turn around again, but then he thought, did this seem too deliberate, and he didn't do anything wrong, why should he be afraid of him?

Encouraged by such thoughts, Zhang Linle boldly looked at Chai Ziyang.

Chai Ziyang's eyes were extremely black and deep, like a storm sinking on the bottom of the sea, and when he stared intently, it was even darker.In a trance, his eyes were pulled closer by the other party, as if they were very close, these eyes were burning with hot black flames.

That kind of inexplicable and inexplicable feeling was burning and tumbling fiercely, and it was about to ripple out, and in the center of the flame, Zhang Linle saw his own shadow.

Zhang Linle, who was startled, wanted to get away, but the more restless he was, the more he was attracted by the other party's gaze. Just when he was about to exclaim, Chai Ziyang slowly closed his eyes.

And that black pupil turned into a violent vortex in an instant, sucking his whole body into it, shutting it up, and there was no more light.

It was pitch black all around, Zhang Linle stood up in panic, and subconsciously shouted: "Chai Ziyang! Chai Ziyang!"

I couldn't see my fingers, and my voice caused a few strange echoes.

Zhang Linle became even more anxious and shouted: "Chai..."

With a "click", a weak flame ignited.Chai Ziyang unhurriedly lit a cigarette, his handsome side face was hidden in the firelight, a little dim.This illusion of extreme heat and extreme cold makes Zhang Linle feel at ease. The people surrounded by the dim light in the dark are not so much the light brought by the fire as the light brought by him. This feeling is very wonderful, like On the temple in Thailand, in the ruined hospital, in the morning glow of the platform.Before Chai Ziyang could speak, Zhang Linle fell silent.

Chai Ziyang raised his head and exhaled a smoke ring. The smoke lingered on his face in the pitch black, and his jaw line was sharp and stiff under the firelight.

Chai Ziyang put his thumb up, and the surroundings returned to darkness. Only the crimson sparks and the strong smell of smoke could remind Zhang Linle that this person was beside him.

Zhang Linle asked, "What did you bring me here for?"

"What do you say?"

Zhang Linle actually imagined an image that was not suitable for children in an instant.Hearing Chai Ziyang's low laughter, he hurriedly said, "How would I know? Instructor Jiang Yue is going to open the altar soon, and you are the first batch of team members. You still have to separate occasions for teasing people. You really... ...."

"Do you like me?"

Zhang Linle almost bit his tongue: "What... what?"

He looked in the direction where Chai Ziyang was, but he couldn't see anything, only a scarlet cigarette butt, which was slowly raised, with strong sparks. Obviously, the other party was smoking.

"You're hiding from me."

Zhang Linle wailed inwardly.Since returning from Thailand, my state of mind has changed somewhat wonderfully. Every time Chai Ziyang is mentioned, my mood becomes impetuous.Saying that I don't want to see him, but I often think about it, and silently understand all the things and people related to Chai Ziyang. I will see you this time, but I run away in a hurry.He is as upright as he is, but in front of Chai Ziyang he looks like a turtle.

He had no way to explain it, and he didn't want to figure out this wonderful change in his heart.He needs more time to calm down and sort out his emotions.

"Hiding means liking it?" Zhang Linle answered a non-painful sentence, but in fact, he didn't know what to say, he just knew that talking casually was better than being silent.

Silence means acquiescence, but this acquiescence is too unfounded, and he doesn't want Chai Ziyang to draw random conclusions.

"Don't waste time on me, I don't like you." Chai Ziyang's low voice was filled with indescribable loneliness.

Oh, that’s right, just right, okay, fortunately.

There was no imaginary poking at the heart, but a long sigh of relief, Zhang Linle pretended to straighten his body: "Please don't feel too good about yourself, listen up buddy, I don't like you, and I won't like you either. "The tone of the second half of the sentence is slightly weaker than that of the first sentence, as if the Tao is listening to yourself.

The brief silence was infinitely elongated in the darkness, and the scarlet of the smoke had long since disappeared. Zhang Linle couldn't judge the other party's mood and state through any reference, and even couldn't feel the other party's breathing. When he almost thought that Chai Ziyang had left, the other party He opened his mouth slowly again.

"I'll give you a piece of advice, you have to be self-aware, don't use stupidity as a weapon." Chai Ziyang said coldly, "Not every time, you have such good luck."

Zhang Linle snorted and said, "Speaking of which, I would like to ask you why you want to kill me in Angkor?"

Chai Ziyang didn't speak, and Zhang Linle didn't expect this person to give a reasonable explanation.Chai Ziyang's behavior itself is problematic.

The man pressed the cigarette butt that had long been annihilated in the darkness, and Zhang Linle heard the sound of rivet shoes walking from far to near.

This person is in front of him now, and he is very close. Zhang Linle smells a faint smell of smoke in his breath.

"But I still chose not to kill you."

The sound was close to his ears, and Zhang Linle's neck suddenly felt cold. He didn't know whether he was startled by the sudden sound or the foreign object on his neck. He took a few steps on his hind legs and reached out to touch his neck. , a cold necklace within reach.

"what is this?"

"This is called the Nangong card, which can stabilize your attributes." Chai Ziyang said.

"You...what do you mean?" Zhang Linle was about to take it off and return it to Chai Ziyang, but the other party held down his arm.

"It's just for the mission." Chai Ziyang said in a cold tone, "I want you to wear it as long as you want. I don't want your attributes to be unstable when you play, and let other players come to the rescue."

"I won't. Even if my attributes are unstable, I will never drag others down." Zhang Linle raised his head stubbornly.

He couldn't see Chai Ziyang, but he was holding his arm, so he must be right in front of him.

Zhang Linle even stubbornly believed that Chai Ziyang must be able to see all his gestures.

Chai Ziyang asked coldly: "Do you know if you will affect me?"

"influence you?"

"We have a spiritual connection. If you are in danger, I can sense it."

Zhang Linle disagreed: "You can choose to ignore it."

"No."

Now Zhang Linle was even more puzzled. He asked in a daze, "Chai Ziyang, do you have some neurological problems?"

"Wearing it, I can't sense it." Chai Ziyang said, "Remember to return it to me."

very good.What are the stable properties?This is clearly an excuse. Chai Ziyang let him take him because he hoped not to be influenced by him?Suzaku's people are really selfish.

Zhang Linle sneered and said, "Okay, don't worry, I remember, I will pay you back as soon as the mission is over."

"People from Xuan Ming came to look for you." Chai Ziyang said, "There will be a period later."

Zhang Linle was about to respond when he felt a slap on the forehead, and the whole world suddenly lit up.

He raised his eyes, and the sunlight on the sea made him unable to see his surroundings clearly, so he could only squint his eyes.

Li Jingxing half-kneeled and half-squat beside him, slowly lowered his hands, and asked indifferently: "What's wrong?"

Although he was asking Zhang Linle, Li Jingxing's gaze turned to the opposite side, and was firmly locked on Chai Ziyang's face.

Chai Ziyang was taking a nap with his eyes closed.

Zhang Linle shook his head: "It's okay, Brother Jing Xing."

Li Jingxing patted him on the shoulder: "I saw something wrong with you just now, it seems that you are in the middle, but it is not evil."

Zhang Linle was a little embarrassed: "I'm just too tired, I accidentally lost my mind, you go back quickly."

"Okay, let me know if you have any questions." Li Jingxing patted Zhang Linle's shoulder and sat back.

Just as he nodded, he felt the difference on his neck. Zhang Linle looked down and saw that the necklace was hidden in his royal blue T-shirt, and he was about to reach out to pick it out.Jiang Yue suddenly said: "Everyone, the time has come. Military division Qiao Zhuo has opened an altar at the headquarters. Please be ready for battle at any time."

Zhang Linle withdrew his hand, suddenly feeling a little nervous about actual combat.

The sun was sinking, the sea was beating against the hull, and the waves were splashing.

On the line where the sea and the sky meet, white seabirds rush up to the sky, looming in the mist, and suddenly fly backwards, like sharp arrows from the sky, piercing into the sea.

Standing in front of the Buddhist altar, Jiang Yue respectfully put on three pillars of sincere incense, picked up the wat on the mahogany table, stepped back a few steps, and solemnly knelt on the Taoist mat to perform the ritual ceremony.

The author has something to say: The battle is about to begin!
