Winner in life

Gui Yi did not directly agree to Rui He's words, but also said: "It sounds reasonable. I know what you think. I will ask for you and write you a letter later. I'm leaving."

He reached out and swept the offerings that had not been burned yet. The offerings burned up instantly, and then he turned around and left.

Rui He smiled and checked to make sure there were no sparks left before leaving. On the Taoist forum, there was more and more talk about the master of Yun Shao Palace.

"Is the interrogation done?"

"Have you confessed?"

"Have you said why you killed your fellow Taoists?"

The attention was extremely high, and the heat was comparable to the Taoist competition held every five years. More than 90% of the posts on the forum recently were about this matter. The work group at the headquarters of the Special Investigation Department was also discussing this matter. The two colleagues who were on a business trip had been sharing their progress in the group. Rui He would take out his mobile phone to check whenever he had time. Every time there were 999+ new messages, so he got the exact news faster than others.

Zhuang Liangning confessed, telling a secret that had been buried for more than a hundred years. It turns out that the so-called "digging up the old site" activity of Linyunhaihui is just a cover-up. Its real purpose is to exchange souls for souls and release the ghosts of ancestors who have been trapped for hundreds of years. Yunshao Palace used to have a top-secret forbidden technique, which could imprison the ghosts of deceased relatives with secret methods, and provide a steady stream of luck for the younger generations. With this secret technique, Yunshao Palace developed smoothly and became the largest sect of Taoism. It has been prosperous for hundreds of years and is enviable.

"Isn't this too exaggerated?"

"It's crazy! No wonder Yunshao Palace sank a hundred years ago. God doesn't tolerate them!"

"..."

"..."

"Everyone knows that don't spread it. When the time comes, the old site of Yunshao Palace will definitely be dug up. Everyone should be mentally prepared for the business trip."

"Received."

"Understood, absolutely not spread."

The headquarters and the C City branch are responsible for the Yunshao Palace master case. There are many people and many mouths. If you want to keep it secret, just say it out. It's useless to emphasize "don't spread it". The news spread all over the Special Investigation Office system. Ruihe received a call from Hongkan, who asked about this. Ruihe was surprised: "How did you know?"

"Your Senior Brother Jinyue told me that someone in Xiaoxiao Palace was involved in this case. Don't you know this news yet?"

Ruihe was helpless: "Of course I know. It was mentioned in the work group. I wanted to tell you, Senior Brother, but our team leader said not to spread it outside, so I didn't dare to say it. I didn't expect you to know it from Senior Brother Jinyue."

"So that's the case." Hongkan didn't care. "How can this be concealed? Tens of thousands of eyes in the Taoist sect are watching the progress of the matter. There are people in the Taoist Association Special Investigation Office involved. The news can't be concealed at all." As he spoke, he praised Ruihe came, "You did the right thing. If your team leader doesn't allow you to say it, don't tell anyone, or you will be scolded."

Ruihe smiled and asked, "How is Junior Brother Congjin adapting to the work?"

"Very good, everything is fine here. How about the thing you told me last time?"

"No progress, he didn't reply to me."

Hongkan sighed and asked, "Have you seen the forum? The one of the Zhang family."

"Zhang family? I didn't see it."

"You can see it. The Zhang family just posted it this afternoon."

Turning on the computer, Ruihe quickly found the post that Hongkan mentioned. It was indeed a post posted in the voice of the Zhang family. It said that the Zhang family was preparing a ceremony to invite gods to convey the wishes of everyone, and would invite friends from the Taoist sect to watch the ceremony. He tapped the desktop and sighed at last. If the Zhang family came forward, it would be meaningless for him to do so, and Guiyi had not responded yet.

Soon, the Zhang family's invitation ceremony was held with great attention, and many people in the industry were invited to attend the ceremony. Ruihe also received an invitation, because it was sent to him by Minister Zhang Huaimin's secretary, so he also went.

It was his first time to visit the Zhang family, and he was attracted by the scene in front of him as soon as he got off the car. The simple and generous old-style courtyard was emitting soft light in the sun, and the two words "Zhang Mansion" on the door plaque were strong and powerful. The gate was wide open, and curling green smoke rose from the courtyard. Green plants stretched out of the wall, and the branches and leaves swayed in the wind. After getting off the car, the guests walked in one after another, and the welcome was endless, a lively and prosperous scene.

Ruihe looked far away and felt that this courtyard was really big. To have such a large area in a land as valuable as the capital, it is absolutely impossible to have money without foundation.

The headquarters of the Special Investigation Division is divided into seven groups. After he was transferred here, he was assigned to Group 7. There are only three people in Group 7, including him. The group leader and another colleague are on a business trip and have not returned yet, so this time he came with colleagues from other groups.

Seeing Ruihe looking around, a colleague smiled and said: "I was also shocked when I came here for the first time. These courtyards of the Zhang family have been passed down from their ancestors. It is said that the whole street used to belong to them."

Another colleague said: "This half of the street is very impressive now. You will know it in a while, Fellow Daoist Xu. The buildings of the Zhang family are full of ancient charm, and there is a Feng Shui Bureau inside. Walking inside, the air is fresh and pleasant, and even fatigue can be dissipated."

Ruihe smiled and said: "Then I must appreciate it carefully."

The group walked in together, and they really felt refreshed when they were in it. Ruihe's sight swept across the rockery, strange rocks, flowing water, and big trees. Such a large-scale spirit gathering array that is naturally formed is indeed rare.

The Zhang family invited many guests this time, and Ruihe also saw many reporters carrying cameras on the road. When they arrived at the banquet hall, the eight-immortal tables were filled to the brim. As far as Ruihe knew, the hall he was in was only Hall No. 3, and he didn't know how many more halls there were in other courtyards.

"It's because of the banquet held by our Minister Zhang that so many people came - no, no, that's not what I meant." After sitting down, a colleague from the next group said, "I mean, after the Linyunhai incident, people in the Taoist sect don't like to get together anymore. Wasn't the blessing meeting led by various small Taoist organizations on New Year's Day very bleak? The activities couldn't be held."

"That's true. In fact, if it wasn't for Minister Zhang's invitation, I wouldn't want to attend any gatherings."

"Many organizations related to Yunshao Palace have to reorganize their boards of directors. The Linyunhai Exchange and Mutual Aid Association was directly disbanded. It was an old Taoist folk association..."

The shadow left by the Linyunhai incident still weighs on the Taoist sky. It can be foreseen that the Taoist activities will decline in recent years.

Ruihe is a newcomer and is not familiar with colleagues from other groups, so he took the attitude of a newcomer, talking less and listening more. Sitting quietly in the middle, he actually heard a lot of news. It was not until he saw an old man with a white beard walk in with his hands behind his back and others greeted him that he asked, "Is that Senior Tian Huilin?"

"Yes, have you read Mr. Tian's new book "New Nine Provinces"?"

"Yes, I have read it. It is very well written."

"What a coincidence. I just bought it. I heard that it starts with the founding of the country and records the changes in Taoism, and the time node ends last year. I turned to the last page to read the most widely circulated passage on the Internet. Mr. Tian is really outspoken. He even dares to say such shocking words as the beginning of the decline of Taoism." The colleague shook his head disapprovingly, "How could it decline!"

Ruihe picked up the teacup and drank tea without saying anything. This kind of thing is a matter of opinion. In fact, he quite agrees with Tian Huilin's statement. Since modern times, Taoism has not been as prosperous as before. Thanks to the unity of the people in Taoism, they actively integrate into modern society and obey the management of the state. At the same time, private mutual assistance and exchange organizations and associations have sprung up like mushrooms after rain. Only then can the scattered Taoist forces be integrated and concentrated, and carefully nurtured to achieve today's achievements.

The Linyunhai incident directly broke the trust between people in Taoism. Without trust, many cooperations cannot be carried out. Moreover, the state seems to have been stimulated by the Linyunhai tragedy. From last year to this year, 30% of the activities of private organizations that have been reviewed by the reporting association have been rejected and not approved.

This is a dangerous signal in itself.

Feeling in his heart, Ruihe was a little careless. It was not until Zhai Yinglin came over to greet him that he smiled faintly: "Master Zhai."

On New Year's Day, Zhai Yinglin announced that he would succeed the position of master. The next day, it was announced that Zhai Sutian was seriously ill and died. The Zhai family completed the power transition in a low-key and calm manner.

"Xu Daoyou, long time no see, how are you doing recently? I am sorry that I didn't come to visit you in person, please don't blame me." Zhai Yinglin said with a smile, "Let's have lunch together tomorrow at noon, I'll treat you."

"I have to go to work tomorrow, sorry." Ruihe refused.

Zhai Yinglin didn't insist, and after a few more pleasantries, he said: "I'm getting married to Xiaoqiang, you and Xiaoqiang have known each other since childhood, you must come to the wedding, I will send someone to send you the invitation."

Ruihe agreed this time, and Zhai Yinglin walked away with satisfaction.

"You actually have a relationship with the head of the Zhai family?" A colleague at the same table came over and asked curiously.

Without waiting for Ruihe to reply, another colleague said: "The survivors of Linyunhai were rescued by Xu Daoyou and his senior brother, and the head of the Zhai family was one of the survivors, so they must have a relationship."

The dinner started while chatting, and it was quite lively after the meal. There were laughter and joy coming from the main table from time to time. After the banquet, the guests were led to the wide venue in the backyard to watch the ceremony. Ruihe and others were arranged in the front position, with a particularly good view of the ceremony. Ruihe looked at the pile of offerings and felt a little bit of anticipation.

He hadn't seen how other people invited ghosts and gods.

"Will it be Guiyi who is invited?" Ruihe thought to himself. In fact, Guiyi didn't respond to him, and he was really disappointed. The law enforcement instrument in his hand is a high-tech product that transcends time and space. Unfortunately, he is insignificant and dare not show his precious treasure. The law enforcement instrument in his hand can hardly play its due role.

He really hopes that he can do something and change something.

Over there, the ceremony of inviting gods has begun, and everyone present is holding their breath. The Zhang family members, wearing uniform Taoist robes, began to perform rituals in front of everyone's eyes. The bells rang, and yellow talisman paper scattered in the air. The solemn chanting of incantations echoed in Ruihe's ears. He listened attentively and found that the incantations were very awkward and he couldn't understand them at all.

There was a low voice of discussion around, and Ruihe heard someone behind him say: "It seems to be an ancient spell..."

Twenty minutes later, when the guests were already a little anxious, a gust of cold wind blew from the altar, and a ghost messenger dressed in black appeared, with the bell on his hat making a heart-pounding sound. The ghost messenger looked around, and everyone who was passed by his eyes could not help but stiffen their bodies first, and the coldness ran from the soles of their feet to the top of their heads, and then trembled slightly.

Ruihe's eyes widened slightly, and the ghost messenger's eyes fell on him. No one saw that the ghost messenger's dead eyes showed a subtle confusion.

When the man and the ghost separated by yin and yang looked at each other, they looked at each other in confusion.

"Mr. Guiyi?" Ruihe asked softly.

In the corner, another black ghost messenger who had just dug out of the passage and drilled out a head after crossing the boundary between yin and yang was in a dilemma, and his body was shaking with nervousness. The ghost nodded to Ruihe, turned around and looked at the ghost messenger, and shouted angrily: "Get out of here!"
