Chapter 469 News from various sources
The color of the phoenix is red, and the five elements belong to fire; the phoenix is reborn from the fire.
Flame is the nourishment of the Phoenix.
Therefore, when Jiang Qianqian searched for information about Phoenix, he made a detailed list and study of "fire", especially the symbol and application of fire in myths and legends.
And "Red Lotus Karmic Fire" comes from Buddhist terminology.
It means that in the eighteenth level of hell, there is a kind of divine fire called the Red Lotus Karma Fire. Its burning uses the karma of sins as raw material. As long as it is touched, it cannot be extinguished. It can only be burned after the karma fire has burned out the sins. Yes, the pain during this period is not acceptable to most people! But once you get over it, no matter how deep the sins were before, they can all disappear.
Jiang Qian compared the illustrations and descriptions on the webpage and stared at the "Red Lotus" mark on his body, unable to calm down in his heart.
Only then did he realize that since he was attacked by the "Phoenix" on the way, he still hasn't spared time to digest the animal backlash...
Yes, he used two cards of natural force at the same time, but there was no sign of the animalistic backlash that should have occurred.
Jiang Qian stretched out his hand to touch the "red lotus" left on his body, and felt a burning sensation under his skin, as if the "fire" had not been completely extinguished!
Is this fire counteracting the animalistic backlash in me? She is not attacking me, she is helping me... Jiang Qian quickly took out the fragments of the watch he just got back from Yu Xuan from his pocket, and pieced together some ideas:
At first, when his sister gave him a watch, he was only a three-state fusion and had not yet broken through to the stage of power, so her sister gave him a watch with a gentler effect to balance the discomfort caused by his animal nature.
But as his evolutionary level increased, especially after entering the powerful stage, the animalistic backlash became more and more intense, and the watch was no longer suitable.
My sister sent "Red Lotus Karma Fire" at this time, which was equivalent to directly solving his "bad habits" problem!
The fire of red lotus karma will not be extinguished.
Does this mean that if other dragon identity cards are later integrated, the bad habits and animalistic backlash brought about will also be burned and eliminated with the help of the Red Lotus Karmic Fire?
Jiang Qian sat down slowly, reviewing in his mind the entire process from the attack on the way to the exchange with his sister when he returned home, repeating it over and over again like a movie.
Sister Yu Xuan, together with the secrets she carries, has a temptation that Jiang Qian can't resist.
When the answer was ready to come out, it suddenly became confusing.
Not only because she is the holder of the "Phoenix" card, the so-called "Three Lives Three Lives" sadomasochism story, but also because of the opportunity of her mother Wen Han to bring her sister back to the Jiang family from the orphanage.
Somehow, Jiang Qian always felt that there was a missing link.
The mother is missing!
Before the mission to the Holy Mountain, he saw his sister's adoption materials from the old house, and the person who "signed and stamped" them was his mother Wen Han.
Jiang Qian tried to smooth out his thoughts from the beginning:
My sister was brought back from the orphanage by her mother Wen Han after her father's accident.
The orphanage that brought her back was also the place where her mother was raised. Jiang Qian's mother, Wen Han, had no family before marrying his father.
Maybe we share the same problem? My mother liked my sister very much, and she liked her very much at first.
The strange thing is that later on, the relationship between my sister and her family got better and better, but my mother went home less and less.
Of course, this may not be my sister's problem, but him.
Mother is afraid of him.
Jiang Qian had noticed this a long time ago.
As for the reason? The whole family knows.
Therefore, my mother went home less and less, and asked less and less about the affairs of the family, as if she was hiding away on purpose.
Compared to his mother, his sister seems to have always loved the family and cared about him.
Especially after Jiang Yang's accident, her sister focused all her energy on him, assisting her grandma Tang Hongmei to "regulate" his behavior in all aspects, making him more and more like a normal child.
Since then, Jiang Qian's life has become increasingly smooth, with top grades, harmonious family, and harmonious social relationships.
At least from his memory, it was difficult to find fault with his sister.
According to the description of "Three Lives Three Worlds", it seems that the elder sister is really silently guarding a "lover" who has completely forgotten her.
Even some conflicts in his childhood, looking back now, were opportunities to get him on the right track and avoid suffering losses.
Including today's attack, the red lotus industry fire burned, and what was burned was the animal backlash that was inevitably caused by unconventional forces.
According to the saying "Three Lives and Three Worlds", this is to "achieve him and help him dominate."
But is he really the "him" that his sister calls him?
My sister loves me?
Love...
Inexplicable throbbing in my heart.
This kind of throbbing is like rootless duckweed, pushing aside the surging emotions, leaving only a void.
What lingers in his mind is his sister looking back sweetly and asking him calmly, can he feel this kind of love?
……
After a while, Jiang Qian opened his eyes.
He still couldn't find the answer.
Can you continue to love someone based on the memory of your previous life?
Very unrealistic.
Jiang Qian cannot empathize with a view of love that he does not recognize.
Maybe this is just what my sister said - "He shouldn't know."
However, the sister who adheres to the principle of keeping secrets did not expect that his brother knew her so well that just one meeting was enough to anchor her identity.
Jiang Qian fell on the bed...
There are many questions in my mind.
He tried to accept this "status quo".
In fact, even if he didn't accept it, he wouldn't be able to clear up the doubts for the time being.
He, Jiang Qian, was trained by Qianlong Wuyong as the ace force of the lawful official. In the final analysis, he was just a high-level dignitary who had just entered the fifth state. He wanted to intervene in matters at the "big boss" level? It's obviously too early.
And knowing that his sister was unattainable and had a crush on him since childhood didn't sound like a bad thing.
"Huh..."
Thinking of this, Jiang Qian sighed unconsciously.
It has been almost half a year since he got the super-species identity card, and after working hard for these six months, he still has many questions that remain unanswered.
His father's message, his sister's secret, the whereabouts of the useless Jiang Yang, and his enemies in a foreign country...
All this seemed to remind him that progress was not happening fast enough.
"Am I living too comfortably?"
Jiang Qian asked himself.
Everyone knows that Qianlong Wuyong's growth process can never be linked to the word "comfort", but for Jiang Qian himself, most of his development during this period is still within his comfort zone.
He solves various problems appropriately and carefully hides his secrets.
He was at ease, not overly aggressive, not out of control, and firmly in control of his own rhythm.
To be precise, he always strictly controls his behavior like a normal person he knows to avoid out-of-control situations, so that he can ensure that he will not be eliminated and that he will always enjoy preferential treatment from the official.
But maybe that's exactly his problem!
He could have had a higher ceiling.
Break out of your comfort zone, pay more chips, and gain the highest returns.
"Should I go all out?"
Jiang Qian frowned slightly, as if he was involved in a dangerous gamble.
He thought of the reminder at the end of the "Gamble" copy: no one can be invincible.
Jiang Qian doesn't like the feeling of failure.
Rather than going all out, he prefers a life of ease.
He hesitated.
However, at this time, the private detective "Axi" who had been silent suddenly interrupted:
[Private detective Axi is at your service. 】
[It is sunny and sunny today, and there is nothing strange in the house. The three family members you are sheltering are in good health and have no emergencies, and their intimate relationships have become stable. 】
……
Jiang Qian has long been used to this kind of talk on the wheel.
With the god sister controlling the house, what other visions could there be in his family?
……
[I have detected that you are in a bad mood, master. I suggest you stop thinking randomly, eat well, exercise more, get up early and go to bed early, and drink more hot water! 】
"???"
Jiang Qian stood up.
The reply just now is not like the speaking style of "Axi", the town house Tour Xi...
Where does this strong sense of parenthood come from?
In an instant, the answer to the prop malfunction was ready to come out.
Jiang Qian couldn't help but smile: "Axi, you care so much about me, master, why don't you tell a joke to make me happy?"
After hearing this request, "Axi" was stunned.
Haha, it's not your area of expertise... Jiang Qian was complaining, but unexpectedly, this "Axi" actually started talking about it in a decent way:
[Okay, Master. 】
[According to legend, a turtle was walking on the beach and saw a crab crawling. The turtle asked: "Why do you always walk sideways?"]
Jiang Qian was startled: Are you asking me?
Then you hear:
[The crab replied: "Because I have pincers, I am willful."]
Poof...
This joke is very much in line with the style of a rich woman... Jiang Qian held back his laughter and walked back and forth in the room several times, without further embarrassing this naughty "Xi":
"Thank you, that's a good point."
[You're welcome, Master. 】
[What other services do you need to provide? 】
"No, I feel much better."
[Okay, Master. 】
"Axi" retreated.
Jiang Qian also stopped.
How to decide, he figured it out.
My aunt's call came from outside the door: "A Qian, come out to eat!"
"Coming!"
……
That night, Jiang Qian had a good dinner with the two ladies at home. During the dinner, he answered all the questions that the elders were concerned about without missing a beat. After the entertainment at home, he returned to the room.
Started a new social life.
Summon a replica of the Gate of Time and Space from the prop locker and enter the Davos Island of the "Hungry Ghost Apocalypse".
Then find a secluded place, take out the Queen Mother Gu, enter the illusion of the sacred mountain, and meet the Crazy Python Old Woman, the most trusted subordinate of the Holy Mother White Snake.
In fact, as early as after coming out of "Gamble", he contacted Shenshan as soon as possible and made a copy of the turtle pattern drawings for the old woman to look at.
The answer I got at that time was: The logic is similar to the contact language of Shenshan, but there are many detailed changes, and it will take time to crack.
The purpose of this meeting is to compare the conclusions obtained from the official intelligence department with the conclusions of the Holy Mountain, and try to collide with something valuable.
At the last meeting of the Special Operations Department, Bai Xiaoxi brought the official intelligence department's research conclusions on two turtle back patterns: one represents time, and the other is a pictogram of a certain place.
Jiang Qian entered the "Illusion of the Holy Mountain" from the "Hungry Ghost Apocalypse", twisting and turning, and met the old python, the current leader of the Shenshan tribe, underground in an inconspicuous village.
It just so happened that the old python woman was also preparing to report to him on this matter:
"Holy Lord, the totem you copied has been confirmed to be the god worshiped by the mountain people in Linyuan Village. The code words communicated by the people of our sacred mountain tribe were created by the Holy Mother who was inspired by this totem. But the Holy Mother created The code of the sacred mountain is slightly different from the other two pictures you brought back.”
"With our manpower and intelligence reserves, it will be difficult to decipher the information conveyed by one or two pictures and texts in a short period of time. If you can provide more..."
The mad python old woman bowed to ask for instructions.
After the Sacred Mountain Incident, especially after Jiang Qian helped the Sacred Mountain tribesmen alleviate the torture of the mutation, the Crazy Python Old Woman's respect for Jiang Qian was comparable to that of the Holy Mother of the White Snake herself.
"Senior, there is no need to be so polite. I have obtained further results from the official intelligence department."
Jiang Qian informed the python old woman of his conclusion.
Unexpectedly, when the crazy python old woman heard "time" and "place", she suddenly became excited. She pointed at the "place" icon and looked at it carefully for a long time, and finally hesitated and said her guess:
"Holy Lord! If this picture is really a pictogram of a certain place... then I know that there is a place with similar landforms to the one conveyed in this picture!"
"Where is it?" Jiang Qian asked immediately.
"The Yu Clan's... cliff king's nest!"
……
An hour later, Jiang Qian returned to his home room from the copy world.
The situation became strange again.
If the Mad Python Old Woman's guess is not just a lie, it means that the "tortoise pattern" that the Devil's Nest organization has tried so hard to obtain is related to the Feather Clan.
A time, unknown.
A location, suspected to be the base camp of the Yu Clan: the Cliff King's Nest.
There are also Linyuanzhai totems and Shenshan organization codewords with similar language logic...
What is the connection between these elements that are beyond reach?
As for the Yu clan, they are inseparable from their sister!
Jiang Qian held his forehead.
It’s impossible that the Nordic Demon Cave Organization and Linyuan Village worship the same god, right?
That would be off the mark...
The top priority now is to accurately locate the "time" conveyed by the turtle pattern. He also needs to find an opportunity to reveal the information about the "Cliff King's Nest" to Bai Xiaoxi, so as to promote the official cracking progress.
Let's do this.
Jiang Qian was thinking as he pulled out a few A4 papers from under the desk. Just as he was about to start writing, the phone rang.
I picked it up and saw that it was Lan Junxian calling.
Jiang Qian answered immediately.
"Hello? Jiang Qian."
"Teacher Lan, is something wrong?"
"Haha, I'm sorry to interrupt your precious vacation time, but I do have news worth sharing with you."
"Don't bother me, just say it." Jiang Qian listened attentively.
"Do you still remember the centipede and centipede that were brought to justice together with Rain Vine and Water Algae in the Holy Mountain mission?"
"Remember."
Originally, Centipede and Centipede deserved to die for their crimes, but Jiang Qian gave him another opportunity: He had the opportunity to meet Qianzu, the current leader of the Zerg, to tell him what he knew about the filth within the Zerg, and to plead for his colleagues who were framed back then. A fair one.
The reason for doing this was of course for the sake of his dead father.
Those framed to death were all his father's old subordinates.
"He's dead."
Lan Junxian said: "After meeting the Zerg Supreme Thousand Legs, he died in prison inexplicably."
After hearing the news, Jiang Qian fell silent.
This result did not surprise him.
"In other words, he has told the people he wants to tell what he knows, right?" Jiang Qian said.
"It can be understood that way." Lan Junxian hesitated and replied.
"That's enough." Jiang Qian was very calm.
Now it was Lan Junxian's turn to be curious: "Aren't you afraid that he will say something bad to you? In other words, you don't care who did it?"
"First, he didn't have the time to frame me! Second, he didn't have enough time to frame me; third... It doesn't matter who killed him, he had no intention of living and could do it before he died. It’s already a good result if you finish what you should do.”
"Jiang Qian," Lan Junxian said suddenly melancholy, "you are always so smart and can easily chatter to death..."
Jiang Qian smiled: "Then what does the teacher have to teach you?"
Lan Junxian sighed!
"I can't talk about giving advice. After all, you specifically asked me to do this. We have to make it clear to you if there is no problem in our hands. In addition, I think there must be something fishy here. Maybe Qianzu is the one who decides the outcome. ”
"So you think so too."
"Well, based on Qianzu's past behavior, he probably killed Centipede and Centipede because he didn't want to expand his influence, but at the same time he also knew what he was doing. He did it to show those people, to comfort and to beat him; this is The way a big family handles things, or..."
Jiang Qian took over the conversation: "Or maybe comforting and beating are superficial. Making such a gesture will make it easier for him to slowly plan to divide and conquer the disloyal people one by one."
"You can always think deeper than others," Lan Junxian sighed, "It's great to chat with smart people!"
"Famous teachers produce great disciples!"
"You're welcome."
After hanging up the call, Jiang Qian was silent for a while.
Just as I was about to pick up my pen, another call came in.
He looked at the caller, Lu Fanni.
Jiang Qian picked up the answer: "Sister Lu?"
The person on the other side was obviously stunned for a moment: "Yeah, I didn't expect it to actually get through..."
Jiang Qian smiled.
The other person said again: "Thank you for telling me about Dionysus."
"Don't dare to neglect the entrustment of the deceased. Sister Lu also expresses condolences." Jiang Qian heard the sadness in the other party's tone.
After all, they are friends who have admired each other for many years. Not long ago, they were drinking and chatting together. Suddenly, hearing the bad news, it is inevitable to feel sad.
Of course, the "calibre" to the outside world is that the patient is an emergency and cannot be cured.
The call fell into silence.
Just when Jiang Qian thought the other party was about to hang up, Lu Fanni spoke again:
"There has been no news about you in the forum for a long time... Some people speculated that you were sent to a far away place to perform a secret mission. Others said that you accidentally offended a big shot and were hidden in the snow..."
"Yes." Jiang Qian said.
Agreed, but gave no special explanation.
Lu Fanni said again: "I see that your roster in Wanzhong has been set as confidential. Will I not be able to contact you for a long time?"
The establishment of the Special Operations Department was kept secret from most departments. Qianlong Wuyong was a core member, and the confidentiality level was directly maxed out.
"Well, maybe."
"Then, then you..."
For a moment, Jiang Qian seemed to hear the slight trembling of the voice on the other end of the phone, hesitant and full of reluctance.
It's like knowing that once you hang up the phone, it will be difficult to contact the other party again.
Jiang Qian didn't hate this mature sister who often helped him, although he still couldn't empathize with the melancholy conveyed in her voice.
"Then...take care!"
"Sister Lu, take care too."
……
After hanging up the last phone call, Jiang Qian finally regained his own peace.
He picked up a pen and started sketching carefully until late at night, with four A4 sheets of paper filled to the brim with drawings.
After stopping writing, Jiang Qian aligned the four pieces of paper into one sheet and spread it on the table.
The "Coiling Dragon Formation" seen previously in the Beast King level of the Promotion Ceremony is now fully displayed.
Jiang Qian looked at this "masterpiece" copied from memory.
Although it is only drawn on straw paper, it does not affect the symmetry and exquisiteness of the composition.
Countless "dragons" with different shapes and characteristics are intertwined, swimming end to end, and gather together to form such an undersea wonder.
Why does it appear in his own promotion ceremony? Jiang Qian hasn't found the answer yet.
But he didn't mind taking advantage of this wonder to complete the design of his first "private copy".
The MVP rewards for the two large-scale dungeons "Hungry Ghost Apocalypse" and "Gamble" correspond to the permissions of a "private dungeon". This permission is only available to those who have reached the level of six states and concepts.
Jiang Qian decided to use it to display all the next spoils.
Going all out means taking advantage of all available conditions to achieve your goals.
Take higher risks and gain more profits.
What's more, his risk and lawful official takeover are already unique conditions.
"Let's get started."
Jiang Qian looked at his handiwork with a satisfied expression on his face:
"The last job before departure tomorrow."
……
