Fox Demon Crossing

"By the way, do you know where Mr. Ma usually stores his robot project materials? I forgot to ask him just now."

Fu Rong glanced at him and replied, "You can look next to the village chief's house."

“Thanks for your advice.”

Jin Renfeng grabbed a few buns, turned and left the kitchen, and hurried to Ma Xianhong's residence.

At the same time, when Ma Xianhong, Wang Ye and Zhuge Qing arrived at the entrance of the village, they happened to see six people standing there, carefully looking at the surrounding environment.

It was Zhang Chulan and his group.

They tracked Chen Duo all the way here.

"Master, it's them." Qiu Rang walked behind Ma Xianhong and whispered.

Ma Xianhong naturally understood what he meant.

Zhang Chulan was wearing sunglasses, looking like a street gangster, with his hands in his pockets, a lollipop in his mouth, looking around, and suddenly he saw this familiar figure.

"..."

"Damn, we meet by chance?!" Zhang Chulan looked at Wang Ye and Zhuge Qing, speechless: "Old Wang, Ah Qing, why are you everywhere?"

Wang also responded: "I was just going to say that."

Zhuge Qing smiled and said, "It's fate. We meet again after only two days of separation."

"Zhang Chulan..." Ma Xianhong asked, "What do you want to do in Biyou Village?"

"Who are you?" Wang Zhenqiu looked at him with a smile, holding a small red flag.

"Village chief, Ma Xianhong."

Wang Zhenqiu was surprised and said, "You are the village chief Ma. The world is in a difficult situation now. We have nowhere to go. We heard that Biyou Village has been recruiting talents. We came to you to seek refuge."

Ma Xianhong was silent for a moment and said, "What a pity, we don't have..."

"Village Chief Ma, you are the boss here, right?" Zhang Chulan took off his sunglasses and said in a deep voice, "If you are the person in charge, I advise you not to say anything unwelcome. The people behind me are... no one can stand being provoked."

"Zhang Chulan, are you threatening me?" Ma Xianhong subconsciously narrowed his eyes and stared at him.

“No, no, no.” Zhang Chulan waved his hand quickly, “It’s not a threat, it’s just a statement of fact.”

"Okay, follow me."

......

On the way, Zhang Chulan asked in confusion: "Village Chief Ma, this should be the first time we meet, how did you recognize me?"

Ma Xianhong replied: "You are a celebrity. Anyone with a little knowledge should have seen your photo."

"Haha, I didn't expect I was so famous." Zhang Chulan scratched his head embarrassedly.

"Come to think of it, we have some history. I just didn't expect you to work for the company. But it's good this way, at least the company can protect you."

in the courtyard.

Only Zhang Chulan and Ma Xianhong were left.

"My great grandfather is the master of magic, Ma Benzai, your grandfather's sworn brother."

"Shen Ji Bai Lian Ma Ben is here?" Zhang Chulan was stunned. He had never thought of this. Then he said, "Then according to seniority, am I not your uncle?"

"Hehe, what a smooth talk..."

Ma Xianhong poured himself a cup of tea and said calmly, "Tell me your purpose."

"Take Chen Duo away."

"As long as you don't interfere, we will take Chen Duo away by ourselves."

Ma Xianhong asked: "Is this the only request?"

"That's right." Zhang Chulan nodded and said, "As long as you let us take Chen Duo away, we will leave immediately."

"... Zhang Chulan, you still don't tell the truth?" Ma Xianhong glanced at him and said calmly: "Let's not talk about my not giving up my partners. Is your purpose really just to bring Chen Duo back?"

Zhang Chulan frowned slightly, a little confused: "What do you mean?"

He felt that Ma Xianhong was incomprehensible and there seemed to be something else behind his words.

"Forget it. If you want to stay in Biyou Village, then stay. As for Chen Duo, I will not hand her over to you."

"Ma Xianhong! She killed someone. She killed people in the company." Zhang Chulan stood up suddenly and looked directly at Ma Xianhong who was sitting opposite him.

"She broke the law, right... Then why don't you call the police and let the law punish her? And let everyone know what happened. What's wrong with a girl who lost her parents and was used as a weapon wanting freedom?"

Ma Xianhong sneered: "Why did you imprison her for so many years? Because she was too dangerous? Instead of doing this, you should have killed her. Why did the company send you here? To seek revenge or to cover up the scandal?!"

"Greedy, they just coveted her abilities and thought she was still useful, but now she's lost control and hurt herself. Do they finally want to destroy this girl?"

"Has anyone ever thought about her from beginning to end?"

"You just treat her as a tool. Do any of you know what she really wants?!"

Ma Xianhong gnashed his teeth and said, "She is not some damn holy child with a Gu body. She is Chen Duo."

"And I promised her that I would try to help her get rid of the poisoned holy child, even if Chen Duo would lose the ability to protect herself."

"Zhang Chulan, do you think I will still hand Chen Duo over to you under this circumstance?" Ma Xianhong sneered repeatedly. Although he was asking, his tone was extremely firm.

He conveyed a message to Zhang Chulan, that is, if he wanted Chen Duo, forget it.

"..."

Shit! The most disgusting thing happened.

Zhang Chulan was speechless and stood up and left Ma Xianhong's yard.

Ma Xianhong sat alone on the balcony of his apartment in the city. After a long time, he got up and walked into the next room. Whenever he felt irritated, the only thing that could calm him down was to be surrounded by a pile of high-tech research and development materials. However, at this moment...

He looked around, and the empty room was left with only a few parts. The materials he had seen in the morning and the intelligent doll "Ruhua" he had made with his own hands had disappeared without a trace. In broad daylight, could there really be a supernatural phenomenon?

The breeze blew through his long hair, and Ma Xianhong's back looked particularly lonely.

...

"What? Zhuge Qing is planning to join Biyou Technology?" Zhang Chulan was in a modern office, rubbing his temples and muttering to himself, "This mission is really full of twists and turns."

"Divine Machine Hundred Refinements, Intelligent Furnace, Lao Wang, your information is too valuable."

Wang Ye asked, "You are here to deal with Biyou Technology, right? Count me in, I can help you contain Zhuge Qing. But there is one person, if you don't try to hold him back, I don't think you guys can handle Biyou Technology."

"Who?"

Zhang Chulan looked at Wang Ye, "Old Wang, I'm afraid you don't know the strength of the team I brought with me. They are all top masters. Even I can't guarantee that I can defeat them."

"I see." Wang Ye smiled bitterly, "But they are far inferior to the one I'm going to talk about. Lao Zhang, you know him too."

"I also know..."

Zhang Chulan lowered his head, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed through his mind, and he blurted out: "Could it be Yang Ping'an?!"

A bitter smile appeared on Wang Ye's lips.

Σ(°△°|||)︴

"Fuck, why did he end up at Biyou Technology?!"

"I don't know either, but I know he came earlier than Zhuge and I. Also, do you remember Fu Rong in Beijing? She is from Biyou Technology. I think at that time, Ma Xianhong had already had contact with Yang Ping, and Lao Yang had already joined Biyou Technology."

"We're in big trouble!"

Zhang Chulan had a headache. He had personally fought against Jin Renfeng in the Luotian Competition and was suppressed throughout the whole game. What's more, Jin Renfeng now possessed two top skills, Tongtianlu and what seemed to be Shuangquanshou. His strength must be even more terrifying.

"His strength, how should I put it, gives people the feeling that he can compete with the Heavenly Master."

"this..."

“Don’t doubt it. I had a brief fight with the Heavenly Master during the Luotian Competition. Facing the Heavenly Master, I was like an ant that could be crushed to death at any time.” Wang Ye looked up with self-mockery. Time is king, and so is space. He, a sorcerer who masters the Eight Trigrams and can even control time and space, is vulnerable in front of the top Heavenly Master.

It’s not that Fenghou Qimen is not strong enough, it’s just that he hasn’t practiced it to the extreme.

Perhaps if Zhou Sheng, who disappeared in Wudang Mountain, could fight against the Heavenly Master and use Fenghou Qimen, he might still be able to fight.

"No, this news is too important. I need to discuss it with everyone." Zhang Chulan stood up uneasily, said goodbye to Wang Ye, and hurriedly sent messages to everyone, calling them back to discuss it.

On the other side, Jin Renfeng was frantically disassembling a Ruhua intelligent doll in the laboratory of the apartment, and kept muttering to herself: "So that's how it is, it can actually be done this way... There is only a fine line between genius and madness, this sentence is indeed true, only madmen can have such a unique way of thinking..."

"What are you doing?" A figure squatted beside Jin Renfeng, "I haven't seen you before, are you new here?"

Jin Renfeng tilted her head slightly and replied calmly: "Well, I'm the newcomer, you are Chen Duoduo, right?"

"My name is Chen Duo, not Chen Duoduo." Chen Duo explained seriously.

"Really? It seems I remembered it wrongly. I always think girls' names sound more pleasant with overlapping syllables."

"..."

The two fell into silence for a moment.

They didn't have much common topic. Chen Duo was just passing by and found that the courtyard door was not closed. The poisonous insects in her body were a little restless. When she got close to Jin Renfeng, she became more restless. She could sense the emotions of those poisonous insects.

They were afraid of this person and wanted to flee.

This made Chen Duo curious about the Golden Phoenix, because in her memory, apart from her, the King of Gu, she had never met anyone else who could scare these Gu insects.

So, she came over.

Time passed in silence. Finally, Jin Renfeng spoke first: "Are you confused?"

"What is confusion?" Chen Duo asked puzzledly.

"Confusion means..." Jin Renfeng thought for a moment and explained, "I am not sure about my position, direction and goal. I feel confused about the meaning of survival in this world and don't know where to go."

Seeing Chen Duo's confused expression, Jin Renfeng said simply: "It's just that you feel that your life has no meaning. Although the world is big, there is no place for you. You can't integrate with the people around you. You feel out of place. You are unhappy and can't even find the motivation to continue living."

"Yes, how do you know so much?" Chen Duo stared at him with curiosity.

Jin Renfeng looked at Chen Duo, gently touched her hair, and said in a gentle tone: "Because, I am the same. This world is just a passer-by to me after all."

Chen Duo looked at him in confusion, not understanding...

Her eyes lit up instantly because she realized that the person in front of her seemed to resonate with her.

"Can you teach me? I am unhappy every day. How can I be happy?"

Jin Renfeng said casually: "It depends on what you are pursuing."

“Be quiet and ask your heart what you really want.”

"I, what do I want..." Chen Duo lowered his head and thought seriously.

For her, this is a question that requires deep thought.

"I see you can't figure it out, so I'll ask you the questions." Jin Renfeng picked up the trouser leg of the mechanical doll on the ground and continued, "The first question is, do you want freedom?"

Chen Duo replied: “Yes.”

“Do you want to live?”

"..."

"Then skip this question. Next, do you want to be like an ordinary person, with your own choices, your own friends, your own family, people you care about, and people who care about you?"

"I want to." Chen Duo blurted out without hesitation.

"The last two questions are asked together. Do you care about Liao Zhong? If he is gone, will you be sad?"

"I don't know!" Chen Duo covered her head in pain, the images of her and Liao Zhong emerged uncontrollably in her mind, a feeling she had never experienced before made her extremely painful.

Chen Duo curled up her body, looking particularly helpless at the moment.

Seeing this, Jin Renfeng fell into self-reflection, thinking to herself: "Am I really not suitable to be a psychological counselor?"

Why does it feel like Chen Duo was crushed by his words?

An illusion must be an illusion.

Girl, you have successfully attracted the attention of Grand Master Jin.

Jin Renfeng thought about it and it seemed that Liao Zhong was the crux of her problem. He put his hand on the back of Chen Duo's head, and a ray of golden light was injected into her body. He said gently: "Don't be afraid, I already understand your thoughts. It's a pity that he didn't understand what you really wanted until the last moment..."

Another room.

"Zhang Chulan, why are you looking for us in such a hurry? I'm busy extracting information from those people." Wang Zhenqiu said, leaning against the wall.

"Qiu'er, don't be anxious. Zhang Chulan must have obtained important information and called us back because he was unsure." Xiao Zizai said.

“Click——”

Zhang Chulan looked up and saw Clarinet pushing the door open, closing it gently and saying, "I just went out for a walk and didn't see any surveillance nearby."

"Okay." Zhang Chulan looked at everyone and said, "Since everyone is here, I won't waste any more words. We have received reliable information that Yang Ping'an is now in Biyou Village."

"What?!"

Wang Zhenqiu was suddenly startled.

Zhang Chulan glanced at him, feeling helpless. This guy was being too pretentious.

Looking at the others, although they were also surprised, at least not as exaggerated as Wang Zhenqiu.

"Yang Ping'an was originally the junior master of Mount Mao. He obtained the Tongtian Lu from senior Lu Jin in the Luotian Grand Ceremony not long ago. He destroyed Lujia Village a few days ago and killed Lu Ci, one of the Ten Elders. He is suspected to have obtained the Lu family's Minghunshu, which is one of the Eight Wonders, the Shuangquanshou."

"Then he disappeared. I didn't expect him to hide in Biyou Village..."

Zhang Chulan narrated: "According to Wang Ye, Yang Ping'an and Zhuge Qing have both joined Biyou Village, but the good news is that Taoist Wang Ye is willing to join us and help us stop Zhuge Qing. As for Yang Ping'an, how many people do you think we need to send to fight him?"

Zhang Chulan said with a serious expression: "I know everyone is very strong, but please believe me, one-on-one, no one here can fight him alone. Even when I went down the mountain, my master warned me to try not to provoke him."

"The old Taoist priest from the Tianshi Mansion?"

Hei Guan'er lowered his head, thought for a moment, and said, "I agree with Zhang Chulan's opinion. Maybe you don't know Lu Ci, but I heard that Lu Ci cultivated the Lu family's Ruyi Jin to perfection many years ago. Although he hasn't taken action for many years, his strength can at least rank in the top five among the ten elders. That Yang Ping'an was able to eliminate all of the more than 100 masters of the Lu family when they gathered together. I'm afraid his strength is really beyond our reach."

"At least, if it were me, I wouldn't be able to do it to the same extent as him." Hei Guan'er spoke calmly, comparing the battle records of both sides with a relatively objective evaluation. In his personal opinion, Yang Ping'an was the most dangerous person in his mind among the people in Biyou Village.

"Oh my, how come this guy's strength has improved so terribly? If I had known earlier, I would have asked him for advice on cultivation experience." Wang Zhenqiu suddenly sighed.

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's eyes turned to him.

Zhang Chulan asked: "Do you know him?"

"Of course." Wang Zhenqiu raised his head and said proudly, "We are good friends. Last time he asked me to help protect his father. I was the one who caught the alien sent by the Lu family to attack his father. I even slept in his house for several days."

"......" Zhang Chulan touched his chin subconsciously, slapped his thigh suddenly, and exclaimed: "That's great, since you are friends, go and test his attitude towards us."

Wang Zhenqiu said: "...Actually, we are not as familiar with each other as you think."

He suddenly regretted saying that he knew Yang Pingan...
