Chapter 20: Face It If You Can't Escape
After a long time, Xie Jun suppressed his panic and sorted out his messy thoughts. The problems he faced may be very serious now. Although the people of the Xu family's "cousin" were temporarily suppressed, the revenge had already been formed. They had the opportunity to designate that they would deal with them in the future. Since this matter is already like this, it would be meaningless to blame anyone again. They can only deal with the moves. Can they still eradicate the Xu family? Even if they are willing, they must have the capital to fight with others!
Another crisis comes from the Qimen Warlock. According to the rules of the world mentioned in the novel, I am destroying people's jobs and beating people in the face this time. Isn't there such a saying, "Whoever destroys my job, I will destroy his whole family!" It's hard to say whether this matter can be said to be harmonious. Anyway, I don't have this face, and probably the Xu family doesn't have it either, so I can only look at the face of Master Zhang from Longhu Mountain.
No matter what the subsequent situation is, there are only two ways in front of Xie Jun. One is to stay here and rely on the Xu family to shelter himself from the wind and rain. Of course, the premise is that the Xu family will not throw itself out of the tank because of the Qimen Warlock; the other way is to escape thousands of miles away immediately, but the problem is that it is now the information age. Unless you hide in a mountain Kara, you will always be found. At that time, you can really rely on yourself.
It's a big deal!!
According to Xie Jun's original temperament, he would definitely choose the latter. Although he is a grassroots struggling on the line of food and clothing, he also has his own dignity. Perhaps it is because he has nothing that he cherishes his only dignity more. But now it is different. Xie Jun is no longer the grass that can be trampled on by others. He has a new goal. There are opportunities hidden in this crisis, allowing Xie Jun to officially get in touch with Qimen magic.
He remembered the scene of socializing at the dinner table. Lu Qizhong also didn't like such socializing. From his very easy way to Friday, he could see that he longed to be with his family more, and Amy didn't like such scenes. He smiled and betrayed his false feelings. From the tired expression when he turned his back to others, he could see how disgusted she was. So why are they still enjoying it? It's very simple, because of exchanges, they have to exchange for what they cherish, for a rich life, a stable family, and a decent job...
Xie Jun also needs to exchange and use compromise and concessions to exchange for the opportunities he needs. Kun dived in the sea just for the day when he flew high. Xie Jun knew that he did not have the ability to soar in the sky yet. He could not escape because of fear, lose the opportunity to enter, and could not be proud of inferiority, and intoxicated by himself in the illusory Qing high school. As his best friend said, as long as he still had the opportunity to control himself, he had to plan his life well. Otherwise, would he also want to start over by traveling through time?
Since you can't hide, then face it! Xie Jun is not lacking in the determination of the little people.
After thinking through this, Xie Jun felt a sense of relief in his heart. The stuffy breath that was blocked in his chest was silently dissipated invisible. Without looking for a small mirror, Xie Jun also knew that his mp had risen again. His heart was clear at this moment. It was true that he could only make progress by facing difficulties! This is the so-called "gate" and "breaking the gate".
Xu Xiaoyan, who was secretly looking at Xie Jun, felt a daze. Xie Jun's body suddenly seemed to emit a strong light. When she wanted to look carefully, she found that everything was as usual, and it was completely her own illusion. She was muttering that she might be too tired, but she heard Xie Jun's peaceful voice coming.
"Mr. Xu, can you tell me about the situation of that magician, and know yourself and your enemy first!"
"What? Oh... that sorcerer, yes, that sorcerer." Xu Xiaoyan panickedly sorted out her thoughts, straightened her body, glanced at Xie Jun, whose expression returned to normal, and found that there was no strange color on his face. Then she secretly breathed a sigh of relief and continued: "Master Zhang said that the man should be an acquaintance, not a relationship. It is said that our Qimen in China is originally a very small circle. Of course, it cannot be considered those street scammers and the so-called "masters". The circle is not big, so even if the people in the circle do not know each other, they will hear and understand each other, so they are acquaintances."
Xie Jun nodded, still listening carefully, without interrupting.
"That person is the descendant of the Yan family in Xiangxi. The Yan family is not a family, but strictly speaking, it should be a sect. You should have heard of the corpse-driver in Xiangxi before, it is this sect. Now no one is engaged in this ancient profession, so the Yan family also switched to help people read Feng Shui, and set up house landslides to solve some special problems. The family has always been relatively relaxed in accepting apprentices and has no requirements for the character of apprentices. Therefore, the people from the Yan family are of varying quality, but they are very united among their fellow disciples."
Xie Jun smiled bitterly: "So, I offended a sect, tsk."
Xu Xiaoyan avoided Xie Jun's eyes and nodded: "Well, but their Yan family is not unreasonable. Besides, it's a society ruled by law. Do you think they dare to do anything wrong again?"
"Hehe, they don't dare to do anything randomly. So what is the root sculpture in your office for?"
"Well..."
"There is the terrible thing about them. It is impossible for you to seize the evidence of their harm, so they dare to act rampantly. The most troublesome thing is that we don't know them at all, and we don't know what methods they have, so we don't know where to start if we want to be prepared. So, I think what I have to do now is to understand them as soon as possible and understand the abilities of these magicians."
Looking at Xie Jun's serious and confident gaze, Xu Xiaoyan nodded involuntarily.
"Master Zhang said that the root carving is a magic weapon with evil spirits, which specializes in eliminating other people's energy, but there are many restrictions. The materials are refined, and there are also consecration. It is not the kind of thing that can be grabbed by a lot of things. Moreover,... the root carving also needs my blood as a primer to refine, so it only works for me."
"Huh!? Their abilities are not that scary. They won't be able to take human life like opening an altar in a novel and movie? Hey? How did he get your blood?"
Xie Jun breathed a sigh of relief and went on to gossip.
Xu Xiaoyan's face suddenly turned bloody and glared at Xie Jun. Seeing Xie Jun blinking innocently, she turned her gaze away embarrassedly and continued: "Of course it wouldn't be that magical. If those people had this ability, they would have been summoned by the country long ago. If they wanted to kill the US president, wouldn't it be very easy for a traitor from Taiwan?"
"That's right, I scared myself, haha... has Master Zhang ever said how to prevent these people?"
"Yes, my grandfather asked, and Master Zhang said that one is to be careful about his own diet and the other is to be careful about the people around him. The methods of Qimen Warlock are all kinds of strange, but they all start from these two methods. If they put them in the past, they might take action directly. Now it is a society ruled by law, and these people will not directly attack. As for ordinary means such as buying killers, it is also possible."
Xie Jun thought about it and was not afraid that they would use magic numbers to deal with him. He should be able to see through the so-called magic weapons, but Xie Jun was still very worried about poisoning and asking for killers.
"However, Master Zhang said, your matter is not big or small, and they don't need to spend too much energy on you, let alone ask them to pay for someone to deal with you? These people are also seeking money when they come out."
"Uh...that is to say, people don't take small people like me seriously?"
"That's about that, so Master Zhang feels that there should be no problem with him. If they seek wealth, it is better for money to solve it."
Xu Xiaoyan was embarrassed by Xie Jun's problem just now, and now she took the opportunity to take revenge. In fact, Master Zhang was really so optimistic about this request. In his opinion, Xie Jun was just an outsider and happened to break through someone else's situation. It was not considered a slap in the face, but it was enough to spend some money.
He understood what Xu Xiaoyan said. In the eyes of the Qimen Warlock, Xie Jun was just a small character and was insignificant. In the eyes of Xu Xiaoyan, Xie Jun was a poor man and was short of money. The Xu family used money to settle the matter. Even if they paid back Xie Jun's favor, the Xu family no longer owed Xie Jun anything.
Xie Jun no longer had any ideas about Xu Xiaoyan and the Xu family, and put them in a correct position. They were only hiring and being hired. As for Xu Xiaoyan's attempt to help solve Xie Jun's troubles and pay off Xie Jun's favors, Xie Jun agreed. So when he heard Xu Xiaoyan say this, Xie Jun did not think there was anything wrong, but just nodded casually to express his agreement.
Seeing Xie Jun's plain reaction, Xu Xiaoyan couldn't help but feel like she punched the air. She felt a little uncomfortable. She moved her lips and wanted to explain that she was just joking, but she didn't know how to speak, and she froze for a moment.
"I hope this is the case. I hope this matter can be resolved smoothly. Mr. Xu, tell me the time and place of meeting tomorrow. I'll just go there directly. I'll ask Manager Lu for a leave first."
Xie Jun stood up and said, "I've finished what I should say. It's still work hours now, so I have to be worthy of the salary given by my boss."
"Uh... tomorrow at 10 o'clock in the morning, at Wuwei Pavilion at the foot of Phoenix Mountain. Why don't you go with me tomorrow?"
"No, I'll just walk from home. If there is a bus there, I'll go out to work first."
Xie Junxin said that it would be better to keep a distance. If you talk too much, you will cause so much trouble. For these high-ranking players, it is better to stay away from them. Otherwise, you won’t know when you will cause trouble for yourself again.
