The First Sword of the Earth

"Young Sect Master, it's not a problem for you to procrastinate so much. Listen to Third Grandma's persuasion. Now that the vitality of heaven and earth has returned, wouldn't it be a waste of time not to practice..."

Inside the car, the originally harmonious atmosphere immediately became a little cold after the old woman's words came out.

Shen Xilin's face was a little gloomy, and she turned her head to look out of the car window, quietly lost in thought.

"Young Sect Master, you..."

"According to the tradition of the sect, I should have the freedom to choose my own life path," Shen Xilin said softly, with a little light in her eyes, "We are all ordinary people, and I just want to be an ordinary person in the future. A person who also does not practice spirituality gets married and has children, has a simple job that can support himself, and looks forward to being free from illness and disaster for the rest of his life... that's pretty good."

"Young Sect Master, do you still care about what happened back then? The Sect Master is also suffering."

"Send me back to school, third grandma, don't try to persuade me about this, I'm living a happy life now." Shen Xilin smiled softly.

"Oh," the old woman sighed helplessly, and she didn't dare to persuade her, she could only tell her: "I'm afraid there will be some commotion here tonight, you stay at school, don't leave the dormitory casually, we will Protecting you in secret."

"You don't need to protect me. I'll be fine if I don't go out in the dormitory." Shen Xilin thought for a while, "If possible, please help me take care of my junior. He saved my life a few years ago and just killed him. An evil cultivator of the Five Gods Sect may invite revenge from the other party."

The old woman looked distressed, frowned and said: "Young Sect Master, according to the rules, we cannot participate in the disputes between these monastic sects and monks."

Shen Xilin nodded calmly, "Then just pretend I didn't say it."

The female driver who drove the car joked with a smile: "But if it's our young suzerain's sweetheart, that's an exception."

"Shut up!" the old woman reprimanded, "It's really rude to joke with the young suzerain like this!"

The female driver made a depressed expression and concentrated on driving.

Shen Xilin explained helplessly: "She was just joking, I am just grateful to him, and as I said, I just want to find an ordinary person to marry and live out my life."

The old woman said softly: "Young Sect Master, if you are really interested in this son, why don't you go on the road of cultivation together, and then live in seclusion, and be a pair of immortal couples that even gods envy, wouldn't it be beautiful?"

"It's not beautiful," Shen Qianlin rolled her eyes and snorted softly, "Third Grandma, if you mention this again, I'll get off the car right away."

"Don't, don't, the third grandma finally got out of customs. It's been three years since I saw you once, so I don't want you to leave."

Although it was denied by Shen Xilin, there was still a little thought in the eyes of this 'third grandma'.

Shen Xilin caught the gaze of the third grandma, but said nothing. She rested her chin and looked at the city street scene outside the car window.

I don't know why I'm fascinated, and I don't know where my thoughts are.

...

Today is destined to be a day that will be remembered and deliberately avoided.

The skill auction is held at midnight.

As night fell, the city gradually quieted down.

At nine o'clock in the evening, police cars began to stop at all major intersections in the city. Near various important buildings, a large number of soldiers in camouflage combat uniforms could be seen sitting on the ground, silent like clay sculptures.

A famous monk who had wandered around the city for the past two days disappeared without a trace, but there seemed to be forces hidden everywhere, ready to move.

The "Secret Book of the Celestial Master" by the Tianshi Daocheng of Longhu Mountain will be auctioned publicly, and hundreds of copies will be auctioned. This will undoubtedly give all the monks who came here for this matter a shot in the arm.

The cultivation of the Tao pays attention to the law, wealth and land, and the law is the foundation of everything. Even if there is no third volume in the "Secret Book of the Heavenly Master" auctioned this time, it is quite attractive to many Taoists who lack skills.

Regardless of whether the monk is on the right path or the evil path,

No one can refuse a "top-level" Dao Chenggong method that is clearly priced and not particularly expensive.

As a result, at noon, after the news of the auction of hundreds of copies of "The Secret Book of the Heavenly Master" was spread, in just half a day, countless cultivators got the news and entered this place through various channels. A bustling cross-river city.

At ten o'clock in the evening, the special investigation team was temporarily stationed, and hundreds of Longhushan monks in Taoist robes entered the waiting motorcade.

Among them, more than 20 Taoist priests from the second generation came, and more than 80 disciples from the third generation came, all of them are people with profound Taoism and accomplished talismans in the sect.

When these Longhushan monks set off in their respective cars, they rushed to several places where the torch bearer was most likely to appear tonight, and a series of more than a dozen gray-haired old Taoists in various robes came out slowly.

Some of them are Daoists of Longhushan Daocheng, some are masters invited by Longhushan to help them, and there are also several Taoist seniors invited by the special investigation team.

These Daoist masters also boarded a few buses and rushed towards the reserved location.

Once the sacred flame designated the location of the auction, no matter where it was, it was necessary to ensure that several experts could arrive at the first time, and then quickly control the situation.

In this garrison, Chi Ling and several middle-aged officers in military uniforms were sitting in the general control room. On the large screens displayed in the control room, scenes from all over the city kept flashing.

The dispatching room is a bit stuffy, and hundreds of computer hosts consume a lot of power every minute.

Dozens of technical workers are guarding computer screens everywhere, paying attention to the dynamics of the network without saying a word.

The closest to Chi Ling are more than a dozen young girls similar to "customer service". They are responsible for collecting news from all parties, reporting to the team leader as soon as possible, and timely conveying the team leader's instructions to each team.

"The road chiefs have begun to enter the preset lot, and the emergency lanes have been cleared for all main roads."

"Team leader, fifteen helicopters and six rescue helicopters have been deployed."

"Team leader, there are currently no conditions in the streets. The key suspect areas have been closed, and no server signals have been detected yet."

"Team leader, the firewalls of the internal computer networks of all enterprises in this city have been checked, and it is very troublesome for the other party to hack the firewalls of any enterprise. Moreover, we have already prepared for mandatory temporary shutdown of these servers when necessary." Electrical preparations, but some backup circuits are still hidden dangers."

Amidst the brisk report, Chi Ling continued to give replies and instructions, and her whole body was like a machine running at high speed.

But as the time approached twelve o'clock, Chi Ling gradually became impatient.

She always felt that she seemed to have overlooked some details, some important details that made herself unaware of it for a while.

"Notify all departments that as soon as the flamers appear, they will be killed immediately."

"yes."

Leaning back on the seat, Chi Ling rubbed her forehead. The middle-aged men and women sitting beside her didn't say anything, but were quietly waiting for Chi Ling's order.

At this time, the members of the special combat readiness team distributed all over the city only listened to the transfer of these officers.

What is missing?

If the other party wants to conduct the auction of skills by building a local area network, several elements must be achieved, such as servers, terminals, and network connections.

The overseas team hired by the Holy Flame most likely achieved this goal by hacking into an existing internal network. This is the conclusion reached by the investigation team after several meetings.

A middle-aged officer on the side asked in a deep voice: "Group leader Chi Ling, is it possible that the other party is deliberately attracting our attention, and the real auction will be held elsewhere? Or just conduct the transaction directly through the mail?"

"Several insiders we arranged have already handed over the money, and they have been identified by the other party as interested buyers. It is reasonable for them to be unable to tell whether the buyer is ours. The information they pass on is temporarily credible..."

Chi Ling shook her head lightly, "Judging from the current situation, the Holy Flame Master intends to gather many monks together, otherwise this kind of offline auction would not be held."

"What is his purpose?"

"There is no shortage of lunatics and psychopathic criminals in this world," Chi Ling folded her arms, her voice still as calm as usual, "This kind of guy who thinks he is a saint is actually only harming the public interest, and he is just a selfish person." It's just a self-absorbed psychopath."

Several officers nodded, but did not continue to answer.

After the arrangements were made properly, the sound of reports gradually died down, and the atmosphere in the chief dispatching room became more and more dull.

The mountain rain is about to come and the wind is all over the building.

In every corner of the city, pairs of eyes are watching the increasingly 'clean' streets.

I don't know how many people are guarding by the mobile phone, guarding the text message that will arrive in an hour.

Those who remit money to overseas bank accounts through various methods and reach the required amount of the other party have to leave their own contact information.

As long as they successfully hand in the basic exercises they prepared tonight, they have a high probability of getting back the first and second volumes of the top-level exercise "Secret of the Heavenly Master".

In a relatively remote parking lot, a young man sat in the driver's seat and kept looking around, while the three priests closed their eyes quietly.

"Uncle, what if the six exercises we prepared are not enough? Since it's an auction, someone will definitely increase the price."

"If it's not enough, just ask someone to borrow a few copies."

The young man was taken aback, "Looking for someone to borrow? Who will lend it to us? Not all..."

After a pause, he saw the sneer on the corner of his uncle's mouth in the passenger seat beside him, and immediately understood the meaning of his uncle's words.

Not enough, just grab it.

...

In the inpatient area of ​​the municipal hospital, there is a single room somewhere.

Wang Sheng closed his eyes and sat on the hospital bed. Although he could not cross his legs at this time, it still could not affect his practice.

In order to recover as soon as possible, Wang Sheng has already started to forge the bones of his lower legs and feet. At this time, he does not need to put on plaster, but he still cannot walk around freely.

Mou Yue, who was supposed to be very busy tonight, thanks to Wang Sheng, can sit aside and read beauty magazines at this time;

On the contrary, Daniel was a little restless, constantly watching the news in the action team group, worried about what might happen next.

"what time is it?"

Wang Sheng asked suddenly, and before Mou Yue could answer, he had already opened his eyes.

The time on the wall clock is eleven fifteen.

Mou Yue whispered: "The auction is only forty-five minutes away, but Wang Daochang, you just rest at ease now and don't worry about these things."

"Well," Wang Sheng nodded calmly, he didn't want to care about it.

I just hope that there will be no large-scale bloodshed tonight, and that the living environment of the monks will not be affected in the future.

Da Niu said hesitantly at the side: "Master Wang, let me peel an orange for you? You see, I am idle now, can you teach me some punching skills?"

Just as Wang Sheng was about to respond with a smile, Daniu was already rubbing his big hands and walking towards this side, and Mou Yue rolled her eyes beautifully.

Hum——

Wang Sheng's cell phone vibrated, and an unfamiliar number was displayed on it, but after Wang Sheng chose to connect, a familiar and choked voice came out...

"Hey, Brother Sheng...I want to die, Brother Sheng..."
