Chapter 077
After returning to Hongzhou, Zhong Lin told Zhao Jianyi about the story and confirmed that their previous guess was correct. All the missing people were arrested by the islanders and became "transformed people"!
At the same time, Zhong Lin specifically mentioned the deaths of Brother Dao and Niu Tou San. Director Zhao later convened a meeting of the Municipal Public Security Bureau to posthumously award the title of Brother Dao and Niu Tou San's "brave acts when they are righteous", which can also be regarded as a perfect end to their lives. Of course, this is all a later story, so I won't mention it for the time being...
The members of the Huaxia Dragon Group, Xiong Jianbiao and others stayed to watch the pictures and video materials taken by Cobra in Gu Yuelin to see if there are any other clues, and study the next plan.
Zhong Lin was very depressed because he saw Brother Dao die in his arms because he saved him. He did not stay and continue to attend the meeting, but chose to leave early.
Zhong Lin walked on the small road in the villa area, aimlessly, and unknowingly came to Mr. Zhang's villa.
"Grandpa Zhang, Grandpa Zhang! Just teach me how to use talismans, okay?"
The door of the villa was not closed, and a sweet and slightly coquettish voice floated out of the yard...
"Luo Xiaoman?!"
Zhong Lin thought to himself. When he looked up, he happened to have arrived in front of Mr. Zhang's villa. He happened to see Luo Xiaoman pulling Mr. Zhang's sleeve and "acting coquettishly"...
When Mr. Zhang faced the direction of the door, he saw Zhong Lin coming over and seemed to have seen a savior. He hurriedly greeted: "Zhong Lin, you are here! Come in, come in..."
"Grandpa Zhang, don't lie..."
At first, Luo Xiaoman thought that Mr. Zhang was lying to her, but when she turned her head skeptically, she realized that Zhong Lin was really standing outside the door. Luo Xiaoman hurriedly let go of Mr. Zhang's sleeves and flew towards Zhong Lin like a little sparrow.
"Brother Zhong Lin, are you back? Hey, why do you seem unhappy?"
"Oh, nothing, by the way, I happened to have something to do with Grandpa Zhang." Zhong Lin said with a dark face, without a trace of smile on his face.
"Hey, Zhong Lin, you're here just right, I'm just looking for you..." Old Master Zhang couldn't even close his mouth. Obviously, Zhong Lin was like a life-saving straw, which made him feel relieved.
Luo Xiaoman was left aside, so she couldn't bear it. She directly grabbed Zhong Lin's sleeve and said, "Brother Zhong Lin, Mr. Zhang is too stingy. I just used two pieces of his yellow paper, and he was so distressed that he was desperate. Is that broken paper that precious?"
Zhong Lin's face was ugly, but now there were a few more black lines. He thought to himself: "Grandma, that's yellow talisman paper. Mr. Zhang hasn't had a few left, so how can it be less expensive! You ruined two of them at once. It's already good that he didn't turn against you!"
"Oh, Xiaoman, you go back first. I really have something to do to find Grandpa Zhang!" Zhong Lin said as he was about to walk inside.
Luo Xiaoman really quit and said, "No, I won't leave. What can you do when you look for Grandpa Zhang? It's not this talisman or that talisman. It just so happens that I want to learn how to use talismans, I won't leave..."
Seeing Luo Xiaoman getting angry, Zhong Lin naturally had no choice, so the three of them came to Mr. Zhang's villa together.
After the three of them walked into the living room, Zhong Lin took out a piece of blue paper about the size of a one-yuan coin from his pocket and placed it on the Eight Immortals table.
"Blue Talisman Paper?" Old Master Zhang was obviously very surprised. He was stunned for a while before saying, "Where did this come from?"
"Gu Yuelin!" Zhong Lin's expression was very serious, which made Luo Xiaoman feel a little uncomfortable.
Zhong Lin continued: "It was used by an islander, and it was a fire talisman!"
"What? Fire Talisman?! That's a talisman that only intermediate talisman masters can use. No, Zhong Lin, are you all okay? The members of the Huaxia Dragon Group..." Mr. Zhang suddenly realized why Zhong Lin had always had such a serious expression today. He was worried that the people in the Huaxia Dragon Group would be damaged.
"Neither the people from the Huaxialong group were seriously injured. It's just that Brother Dao and one of his brothers were killed by the islanders, and we also killed two islanders..."
Zhong Lin told the story. When Brother Dao was beaten to death by the islanders in order to save him, Zhong Lin gritted his teeth and looked a little more hatred on his face...
"So that's the case. You don't have to be too sad. It's not that the time has not come. We will deal with those who do evil again in the future! By the way, what's going on with this fire talisman?" asked Mr. Zhang.
"This fire talisman was used by one of the island people named Yamazaki, but he did not use it to attack us. Instead, he used it to burn the bodies of the island people shot by two Chinese dragon team members such as prison bulls. The other four 'transformation people' who were subdued by me were also burned by him with the fire talisman."
After listening to Mr. Zhang's words, Zhong Lin felt a little better. Yes, the dead are gone, and the deep hatred is buried in his heart. The most urgent task now is to constantly improve his own cultivation, so that he can avenge the dead, put fewer people in danger, and eliminate harm for the people...
“Woo woo…”
No one expected that Luo Xiaoman would cry at this time, which caught Zhong Lin and Mr. Zhang off guard.
"Girl, what's wrong with you? I'll teach you how to use talismans. Don't cry anymore, don't cry anymore..." Mr. Zhang usually loves Luo Xiaoman the most, and even more than the old lady. At this moment, he saw the little girl crying and said quickly.
Zhong Lin was also confused. He didn't know what was wrong with Luo Xiaoman, so why did he suddenly cry, so he said, "Xiaoman, what's wrong with you?"
"Brother Zhong Lin, you finally paid attention to me." Luo Xiaoman wiped his tears and said, "How could you go to such a dangerous place? You almost lost your life. Don't go next time, okay!"
"Ah?!This..." Zhong Lin didn't know how to answer for a moment, and after a while, he said: "Xiaoman, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. If I don't go, more people may sacrifice..."
"Then I also have to learn how to use talismans. You have to teach me, so that even if I can't go to the battlefield with you, at least I won't become a burden to you..." Luo Xiaoman said firmly.
Luo Xiaoman's statement made Zhong Lin and Mr. Zhang unable to think of any reason to refute. In fact, they knew in their hearts that Luo Xiaoman was not taking the opportunity to "play a rogue", but it was indeed a true expression, so they could only nod and agree. Luo Xiaoman stopped crying.
Zhong Lin frowned helplessly, and then asked Mr. Zhang: "Where is this blue talisman paper?"
Mr. Zhang said, "Hey, Zhong Lin, you have seen it too. I have saved up some yellow talisman paper for so many years, and I can't use it well. Now I can only blame myself for not being good at studying. As for the blue talisman paper, it's shameful. I have only seen it in the books left by my ancestors. I have seen it two or three times when I went to the Tianshi Mansion of Longhu Mountain. That thing is very precious and most people can't come..."
"Grandpa Zhang, last time I heard you say you could refine talisman paper by yourself. Is it feasible?" Zhong Lin asked.
"It is feasible, and the books left by my ancestors also record in detail the methods of refining talismans, but I have never practiced them. On the one hand, there is no material for refining talismans, and there is no tripod or furnace for refining talismans." Old Master Zhang seemed helpless.
"Where are these things?" Zhong Lin continued to ask.
"The materials for refining talismans are generally lightning-stripping camphor wood, lightning-stripping peach wood or lightning-stripping jujube wood. These are very rare, but they are not difficult to obtain. The most difficult thing to obtain is the talisman-refining tripod. This is hard to find. A good talisman can be refined even if it is the worst thunder-stripping camphor wood. However, if the talisman is not good, it will only waste the material. The best talisman I know at present is in the Tianshi Mansion. It has a certain chance to refine red talisman paper with top thunder-stripping jujube wood, but that's all. As for purple talisman paper and black talisman paper, I have never practiced it."
After hearing Mr. Zhang finish his words in one breath, Zhong Lin couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. As the saying goes, a good wife cannot cook without rice. It seems that he really has to put it backwards when he refining talisman paper.
Mr. Zhang naturally saw Zhong Lin’s thoughts, so he said, “Zhong Lin, don’t be discouraged. Since there is no way to go on the talisman for a while, it is still possible for us to find some magic weapons to deal with the enemy in a short time.”
"Hmm?! Where to find it?"
Zhong Lin and Luo Xiaoman asked almost in unison.
Mr. Zhang smiled and said, "You can go to the antique market to buy it. Many antiques may contain magic power that ordinary people don't know, just like the Five Emperors' money you used two days ago..."
Zhong Lin suddenly realized that it wasn't that? Why didn't he think that since the Five Emperors' money has such a great magic power, other ancient things may also have magic power.
"I know where there are antiques sold. There is an antique market next to our school. I'll take you there." Luo Xiaoman said as he was about to pull Zhong Lin out, which was even more anxious than Zhong Lin's arrival.
