Between mountains and seas

Chapter 91

Hearing the name He Feng, Gu Sheng's eyes became more complicated, and it took a while before he said slowly: "Deputy Director He became ill very suddenly..." He fell ill in his sleep, and it sounded like there was nothing wrong Yes, it's just that He Feng is young and vigorous, but it's a bit beyond everyone's expectations.

"Indeed." Qi Tongmin straightened his cuffs, and sighed without much sincerity, "Unfortunate things happen. Deputy Director He is ambitious. If something happened, I am afraid that the Special Affairs Section will now be under his jurisdiction. Now It is said that Team Leader Yang was brought out by himself."

Gu Sheng also wanted to sigh.He Feng is not only ambitious, he is simply ambitious. It is even heard that he has a plan in private, wanting to draw a buffer between the two worlds, and use the world of mountains and seas to train supernatural beings in batches.That's why they all want to find the eye of the formation, and want to hold the enchantment that separates the two worlds in their own hands.

To be honest, when He Feng fell ill, a kind-hearted person like Gu Sheng was secretly relieved, and even a little secretly rejoiced.After all, He Feng faded out, the Gonggong faction lost a backbone, and people who were hostile to He Feng secretly took the opportunity to suppress him, so He Feng's family became depressed a lot, which was a good thing for many people.

However, before He Feng fell ill, he heard a concert... At that time, Gu Sheng didn't think about anything else at all, but now, Huang Yu just used the "Heart Sutra" to wake up Mr. Wang, and Mr. Wang was just Fallen into a coma at a concert.

When the two things were connected, Gu Sheng had to think a little more.

"Concert?" Qi Tongmin raised his head, as if thinking about it, "Oh yes, it's Zheng Yingying's concert." He suddenly smiled, "Old Gu, do you know that Deputy Director He also treats Zheng Yingying well?" I have some ideas."

"Huh?" Gu Sheng didn't expect him to turn the topic to this, "What?"

"Old Gu, you are not well-informed enough." Qi Tongmin smiled sarcastically, of course the sarcasm was not directed at Gu Sheng, "Forget it, you didn't ask about these crap things at first - He Feng often called Zheng Yingying went out to eat. Well, that Wang Chenggang from the Wang family was interested in Zheng Yingying at that time, if he hadn't stood in the way, Zheng Yingying might have..."

Gu Sheng blurted out: "Didn't He Feng already—" He Feng was already married at that time, and the children were all in junior high school!

Qi Tongmin couldn't help laughing: "Old Gu, you are really——you still think everyone is like you!" Gu Sheng and his wife hit it off, and they didn't remarry after his wife passed away. .

"No——" Gu Sheng was of course not that naive, "But He Feng... you must pay attention to the influence." After all, He Feng is in an official career, and Chinese people are more particular about life style. If his wife makes trouble come out……

"You also said that there was a trouble." Qi Tongmin snorted, "Why is He Feng's wife making trouble? She came from a small place. If there is no He Feng, what else would she have? Don't turn a blind eye when encountering such a thing. As long as He Feng doesn't plan to divorce her, she would only make trouble if she is stupid. Besides, even if she wanted to, her family would not agree."

He Feng's wife was indeed from a small place, and the brothers in the family were brought up by He Feng. If his sister divorced, how much benefit would he lose if he lost the status of He Feng's brother-in-law?

"I know you don't like to hear these things, so I don't usually tell you." Qi Tongmin sighed with his hands behind his back, "Old Gu, you are a practical person. I thought you would bring up the three groups, and take care of the south side. , Other things are up to me. I just didn’t expect that this Yang Shuming got up again. I heard that his abilities have been upgraded a while ago, and his strength has increased again.”

Gu Sheng originally wanted to ask him a lot of questions, but now he couldn't ask anything, so he could only follow his topic and think for a while: "Yang Shuming's strength may be about the same as Huo Qing's."

Don't look at Yang Shuming being slapped in the face by Huo Qing and Shao Jingxing when he was killing the scorpion, but there is a reason for that.For a single weevil, strangling it with the wind at close range is of course not as fast as Huo Qing's ejection of the metal needle.This is also because the gnat is too small to bear the force. If it is an ordinary mosquito, the cutting efficiency of the wind blade is definitely not inferior to the metal needle.

Moreover, Yang Shuming's brain turned quickly. After realizing his disadvantage, he immediately changed his strategy and attracted five small weeds at once, which immediately turned him into an advantage.But he was too arrogant and didn't take Shao Jingxing seriously at all, so Shao Jingxing made a dumpling out of nowhere.

Yang Shuming gave up after that.In fact, if he came again like this, Shao Jingxing would not be able to catch him unless he teamed up with Huo Qing.But that would be a bit...

Gu Sheng thought for a while, and suddenly wanted to laugh.It's hard for others to say, Shao Jingxing is probably capable of doing it.With his character, if he wants to pull the wind flag, he will go all the way to the end. As for the glory of two-on-one-the winning is the most glorious.

Qi Tongmin didn't know what Gu Sheng was thinking of, but he actually smiled a little at this moment, and couldn't help being a little surprised: "Old Gu?"

"Oh——" Gu Sheng withdrew his thoughts and continued, "But in actual combat, he may not be Huo Qing's opponent." Huo Qing can go all out, but Yang Shuming will give up halfway compared to Sha Xiyu, to put it mildly It's prudence, or to put it badly, it's fear of war.

"Little Huo..." Qi Tongmin felt rather complicated when he mentioned Huo Qing.It was a few young people headed by Huo Qing who exposed Yuan Fei's background, but it was they who rushed to the plantation in time to prevent a catastrophe!

In addition, about Huo Qing, there is another thing that no one knows...Qi Tongmin lowered his eyes slightly-does Gu Sheng know about this?He treats Huo Qing as his own, even better than his own son Gu Rong, maybe, he actually knows a little bit...

But now is not the time to recall the past, Qi Tongmin's thoughts just passed in his mind, and he brought the topic back: "If this is the case, Yang Shuming must be considered capable. I reckon, he is going to enter the mountains and seas international."

Gu Sheng sighed deeply, and waved his hands: "You're right, go in when it's time, there are some things...we really have to be one step ahead."

Qi Tongmin showed a satisfied smile, as if intending to end the conversation.But Gu Sheng stood still, he couldn't help being a little surprised: "Old Gu, is there anything else?"

Gu Sheng remained silent, as if it was hard to make up his mind about something.He stood there for 2 minutes, until Qi Tongmin became a little impatient, then he suddenly raised his head and looked at Qi Tongmin: "The living stone is the five-color stone, right?"

This question has nothing to do with what they talked about just now. Qi Tongmin was stunned when he was asked, and he laughed after a few seconds: "Old Gu, have you thought about this question too?"

"After all, Xiao Rong's lung disease was cured in this way." If a third person heard Gu Sheng's words, he might jump in shock, "It's just that Xiao Rong has had many physical examinations over the years, but no abnormalities in his body were found. What rock."

"The five-color stone is said to be a stone, but it should actually be a kind of condensation of energy." Qi Tongmin returned to his original calm demeanor, and said with a smile, "After all, it is said that Nu Wa used five-color stones to mend the sky." Green, red, black, white, yellow The five colors represent the five elements of wood, fire, water, metal, and earth.

"Yes——" Gu Sheng didn't know what to think, and murmured to himself, "Nuwa actually repaired the barrier between the two worlds, so the five-color stone in the legend is actually energy. But—" He suddenly Turning to Qi Tongmin, "If the five-color stone is pure energy, why is there a red stone left in the bones of Emperor Murakami?"

"Ah?" Qi Tongmin frowned slightly, "The living stone may not be the five-color stone, it may be different..."

Gu Sheng shook his head: "It's so similar, it's hard to have a second kind."

The smile on Qi Tongmin's face was a little unnatural: "Old Gu, I can't answer what you said. I just got a five-color stone from my ancestors. In the diary of my ancestors, I only wrote that I used five-color stones to do this. I have saved people, but I am afraid they don't know what is going on with this thing."

Gu Sheng didn't speak.Qi Tongmin became a little anxious: "Old Gu, you should take care of the present first, you—"

Before he finished speaking, Gu Sheng suddenly asked again: "Where does the energy of the five-color stone come from?"

The expression on Qi Tongmin's face froze for a moment. Gu Sheng didn't look at him, but just looked at the wall: "The five-color stone contains the power of the five elements. The lungs are white in the five internal organs and belong to gold, so you should need a stone that contains the energy of the gold system." Just like when Emperor Murakami needed to mend his heart, and his heart was red and belonged to fire, so he needed red stone of fire department.”

Qi Tongmin forced a laugh: "Don't tell me, Lao Gu, you are really justified in what you said. It seems that the living stone is probably a five-color stone. Hey, so there is a place in the world of mountains and seas that can produce five-color stones? It seems that five-color stones The energy in the stone is given by the world of mountains and seas."

"No." Gu Sheng shook his head, "Nuwa 'refined' five-color stones to mend the sky, instead of 'obtaining' five-color stones to mend the sky. Therefore, five-color stones cannot be naturally generated. What's more, the power of mountains and seas is Chaos, you and I both understand this truth."

Qi Tongmin couldn't help but laugh.Indeed, the power of mountains and seas itself does not distinguish between the five elements. Only after entering the human body, because of the different physiques of each person, some become harmful powers, while others become supernatural abilities.Therefore, the five-color stone can only be artificial, so Nuwa had the act of "refining" the five-color stone.

"Pangu used his own energy to separate the two realms." Gu Sheng continued, "So the two realms were separated, and Pangu died." His head rested on mountains and rivers, his eyes became the sun and the moon, his skin and flesh turned into earth and rocks, and his hair became vegetation.Although these are words of praise from later generations, they also show that Pangu did his best to divide the two realms.

Qi Tongmin's face darkened: "Old Gu, do you want to say that Empress Nuwa didn't have the spirit of sacrifice like Pangu?"Qi Tongmin had vaguely guessed what Gu Sheng wanted to say.

The five-color stones contain the energy of the five elements respectively, and the energy of the five elements only exists in the body of the supernatural person.Moreover, a person with supernatural powers can basically only have one kind of energy in his body. Not only are there very few supernatural persons with dual systems, but most of them have low energy levels.

"Are you trying to say that Empress Nuwa's five-color stone was refined by a supernatural being?" Qi Tongmin almost squeezed out every word when he said this.Pangu sacrificed himself, but Nuwa sacrificed others. It sounds like a superior judgment.

Gu Sheng asked instead: "So what? Nuwa may not have the talent of Pangu, and even if she sacrifices herself, she may not be able to perfect the enchantment, so she had to choose another method. At that time, the world was in great trouble. In order to end Disasters, it is reasonable for supernatural beings to give their energy. As long as Nuwa doesn't persecute them, what's wrong?"

Qi Tongmin was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously said: "But if you donate your superpower, you may be directly sucked up—"

When he said this, he suddenly closed his mouth, but Gu Sheng raised his eyes to look over, and said slowly: "As expected, I will be sucked dry..."

Qi Tongmin's face was very ugly: "Old Gu, you actually used Empress Nuwa to deceive me!"

Gu Sheng stared at him: "I know you are a descendant of Nuwa, and I also admire Nuwa very much. But——I want to know, how do you know that refining five-color stones may suck people dry?"

Qi Tongmin kept his mouth shut in silence.Gu Sheng waited for a long time, then smiled wryly: "So at the beginning, it was because of this that Su Yuanshan became talented—it had nothing to do with Yuchangjian."

He wiped his face heavily, and his voice was a little hoarse: "Su Yuanshan sacrificed because of Gu Rong. You, how could you think of your own people—" Although he was in his 50s, his temples were slightly slender because of hard work. There are frosty whites, but both the body and the energy are well maintained, and it is by no means like a person who is going to be sixty.But now that he said these words, he seemed to have suddenly aged ten years, and even his eyes dimmed.

"I didn't!" Gu Sheng's last words stabbed Qi Tongmin, and he was no longer silent, "I went for the fish intestine sword! But I didn't expect that Huo Yunhai would go crazy because of the fish intestine sword and stab Huo Qing awakened because of his wife. I didn't expect that Su Yuanshan would be injured, five colors—"

He suddenly paused his words as if awakened from a start, swallowed before saying: "His blood splashed on the five-color stone and activated the five-color stone—I can't control it..."

Gu Sheng didn't notice his pause, but just covered his face with one hand: "Then Huo Yunhai shouldn't have been sentenced for so long, and Huo Qing was right..." If Su Yuanshan hadn't died, Huo Yunhai would have been sentenced for a few years less. Maybe he won't die in prison; Huo Qing won't be carrying the cross all the time.

Qi Tongmin almost slipped his tongue just now, so he calmed down and said, "I thought you knew...you think Huo Qing is closer than Gu Rong..."

"It's because that kid is so sensible!" Gu Sheng smiled wryly, "Since he was a child, he wanted to enter the special affairs department, and he has been working hard all these years."

Qi Tongmin glanced at Gu Sheng.He didn't expect that Gu Sheng really didn't raise Huo Qing because he felt guilty towards him.Gu Sheng—Qi Tongmin closed his eyes slightly, Gu Sheng is a good person, but his power level is really not high, this is his fatal injury.Besides, what about good people?The good people in this world can't eat anymore.

"Old Gu, that's all in the past." Qi Tongmin coughed softly, "You didn't know before, and you did your best for Huo Qing, that's enough. In the end, if Huo Yunhai didn't suddenly go crazy—he It’s true that his wife died because of him, right? Although it wasn’t intentional, manslaughter should also be punished. And he also has the crime of selling cultural relics…”

He looked at Gu Sheng's expression, and ended the topic tactfully: "The most important thing now is what we should do right now! If we can't stop the Gonggong faction, then the tragedy of Yuchangjian will only happen more in the future. If the world is really united, everything may be a fish intestine sword."

Seeing that Gu Sheng was still lowering his head, Qi Tongmin emphasized his tone again: "This time the rectification, it is estimated that Lao Xu in the archives room will definitely be fired, and Lao Yan will probably also be linked. The two of us can't escape, say Maybe your old Miao will also be dismissed..."

Sure enough, Gu Sheng was attracted by his words, and raised his head: "Old Xu—"Old Xu in the archives room turned out to be a front-line worker. He lost a leg when he was on a mission, and he himself also injured his body due to excessive use of abilities. , arranged for him to be in the archives, that is, for the elderly, if he is withdrawn now, what will happen to his life in the future?

Lao Miao has all the hands and feet, but he is not young and his education is not high. If he is dismissed at this time, it may not be easy for him to find a job by himself.

"It's okay for Lao Xu, I can still find a way to make up for it." Qi Tongmin successfully changed the subject and heaved a sigh of relief, "Lao Miao can also find a way to stay in his job first, mainly, what should we do in the future? Since Yang Shuming is here, I definitely don’t want to leave, if he makes some achievements and his superiors support him, the special affairs department will really belong to him.”

Gu Sheng frowned: "What do you think?" To be honest, he really didn't have much idea in the current situation.This is also the reason why he declined Section Chief Zhu's recommendation and strongly recommended Qi Tongmin instead.He always felt that Qi Tongmin was better than him in handling affairs.

"Slap him in the face first." Qi Tongmin's eyes flickered, "Look at it, the rectification is just a cover, and then he will ask to enter the world of mountains and seas, and those people he brought will definitely take care of things, such as being an action The team leader or something. We have to step them down and not give them too much power. Yang Shuming can't help it, but the people he brought definitely can't!"

Gu Sheng glanced at him: "How?"

"Since they are all front-line personnel, of course it's up to the subordinates." Qi Tongmin smiled slightly, "Whoever can fight has the final say, doesn't it? The world of mountains and seas is so dangerous, weak chickens can't just go in, let alone let them They command blindly, don't they?"
