Three days later, Yang Di, accompanied by sisters Su Yu and Su Le, came to Yanjing City.
Di Bo was already waiting here and drove to pick them up.
"Su Le, let me take you back first." Di Bo said from the driver's seat.
"What about you?" Su Le curled his lips and asked.
"Let's go over and have a safety meeting first." Di Bo said with a smile.
"Oh." Su Le was a little depressed, "Father is really partial. My sister can go to such a lively scene, but I can't."
"Haha." Several people laughed.
The old house of the Su family is located in the southern suburbs of Yanjing City, where the mountains and rivers are beautiful and very peaceful.
At the gate, Mrs. Su came out to greet them. When she saw Yang Di, she smiled kindly and had a different meaning in her eyes.
Su Yu's face was slightly red, and her mother's reaction when she saw someone appeared made her cheeks feel a little hot.
"Hello, aunt." Yang Di quickly got out of the car to say hello.
"Well, let's get busy first. I'll prepare dinner at home and wait for you to come back." Mrs. Su nodded with a smile, naturally knowing that Yu'er brought her boyfriend back and had other important matters.
"Aunt Su, let's go there first." Di Bo waved his hand, asked Yang Di to get in the car, and then drove away from the Su family's old house.
After a while, the Land Rover drove to a military base in the suburbs. There were many sentries along the way.
This is the First Military Region. On weekdays, no one is allowed to approach.
Parking the car on a piece of grass in the military area, Di Bo showed his ID, passed through the security gate, and led Yang Di into a building.
In the bright and spacious hall, many big guys in military uniforms have already sat down neatly. Most of them are elderly people with sharp and serious eyes and chests covered with medals. You can tell at a glance that they are important members of the military, at least.
He is a big shot above the rank of general.
There are three seats at the top. In addition to Su Yu's father Su Linghua, there is also a bald middle-aged man, and a white-haired old man who is over fifty but still full of energy.
These three were obviously the highest-status dignitaries present, and they were very influential in the entire Chinese military.
As the deputy director of the Security Bureau, Ji Kaixiu also came and sat at the front left side of the long table.
Opposite Ji Kaixiu, there were two old men in plain clothes sitting, both of them closing their eyes and concentrating. Their outfits and Taoist immortal style made them look like ascetic monks in a Taoist temple. They appeared in such an important military environment.
There was something out of place in the venue.
Sitting to the right of the two old men in plain clothes, at the front of the row, was also not a soldier.
It was a middle-aged man wearing ancient brocade robes. He had fair skin and a temperament as rich as jade. There was a majestic charm between his eyebrows, and his whole aura was like the sea.
This person is obviously not an important member of the military, but he is currently sitting in a position second only to the three big bosses of the military. This is somewhat intriguing, and his identity is obviously very unusual.
He looked very young, but the military officials present, as well as Ji Kaixiu and others from the Security Bureau, were extremely serious about him, knowing that he was a giant in the monastic world.
The entire venue was quiet, with dozens of people waiting quietly and calmly, without even a single whisper.
Yang Di followed Di Bo, and after Su Yu came in, he felt the unusually serious atmosphere in the venue, which was a little unnatural.
Then, when he saw the two old men in plain clothes and the middle-aged man in fine clothes who was calm and dignified, he was suddenly frightened.
These three people all have strong auras and exude righteousness. They are obviously members of the Taoist sect.
Yang Di has long heard that if the monastic community contacts the top leaders of modern society, most of the time, it is with the Taoist sect.
It seemed that even Daomen was a little uneasy about that matter. In the past, the relationship between Daomen and that mysterious organization was tense and there was constant friction.
When Yang Di was looking at each other, the three Taoist elders also opened their eyes and stared at him inexplicably.
Especially the middle-aged man in gorgeous clothes, his eyes were as bright as a torch, as if he wanted to see through everything about Yang Di. When his eyes opened and closed, a divine light shot out.
That kind of probing made Yang Di very uncomfortable. He secretly activated the Red Lotus Karmic Fire, forming a barrier in his body to block the other party's insight into his spiritual thoughts.
As if sensing this movement, the middle-aged man in fine clothes showed a little surprise on his face.
Su Linghua, who was sitting at the top, also glanced at someone with a strange look. It was the first time he met his eldest daughter's crush. As a father, he naturally felt a little complicated.
This cold beauty of my own has been cold and quiet since she was a child. She doesn't care too much about anything and makes it difficult for people to get close to her. Sometimes, even the elders in the family have a headache.
Su Linghua, her father, was quite surprised that she could fall in love with such an ordinary-looking young man. Moreover, some of this boy's behaviors were contrary to the atmosphere of the Su family...
"Please sit down!"
However, it was obvious that he had to deal with business first. Su Linghua spoke calmly and pointed to the three empty seats over there.
The position there is not at the front, but it is not at the back either.
"Young man, I heard that you are fighting for the ancient altar with that organization?" Before Su Linghua could say anything, the bald old man in military uniform next to him spoke in a deep voice.
That tone was obviously somewhat targeted.
"This old guy's name is Liang Wenbo. He is the Chief of Staff of our armed forces. He is also a very powerful person in the military. He has always been extremely disgusted with the activities of monks in modern cities and advocates the removal of people like you.
He was purged from densely populated areas. Generally speaking, he just held a bit of a prejudice against those in the Taoism." Di Bo secretly sent a message to Yang Di to introduce this person's background.
"Chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces? What a big official..." Yang Di secretly smacked his tongue, no wonder this bald old man could sit in that position.
Faced with the question from the military boss, Yang Di was not afraid. He easily admitted: "That's true!"
"Then your Excellency, should you resolve the matter completely instead of leaving a lot of problems like it is now?" Chief of Staff Liang Wenbo said in a somewhat aggressive tone, giving Yang Di a blow.
Ordinary young people will definitely not be able to withstand this kind of battle. These big guys who have spent their whole lives in the military are full of energy and exude an invisible sense of oppression. For ordinary people, it is difficult to remain calm in front of them.
But obviously, that domineering attitude was of no use to Yang Di. Even though there were so many military officials present, the only one who could really awe him was the old man of the Su family.
There is no way, the old man is Su Yu's father, no matter how talented he is, he still has to give in in front of his father-in-law...
As for the Chief of General Staff of the Armed Forces, he is indeed a big official. Unfortunately, Yang Di didn't buy it. He sat there and said with a slow smile: "General Liang is serious. Whether that organization is harmful to society does not depend on the will of the subordinate.
To put it bluntly, if I don’t take action, this organization will take away the six ancient altars, and the number of super soldiers they can cultivate by then may be as high as 700,000 to 800,000. The threats you face are not comparable to those now!"
Su Yuqiao had a slight smile on her face, and she secretly agreed. She didn't want this guy to come here and just listen to the orders of those military officials.
Even her own father, she had previously said in person that Yang Di's help in this matter was a matter of friendship, not an obligation, and this guy did not need to be responsible for any gains or losses of the military.
Chief of Staff Liang Wenbo frowned slightly, obviously not used to being refuted in person by a young man in his twenties.
He said with a somewhat displeased face: "Since the problem cannot be solved, the military should be allowed to handle the matter!"
"General Liang may have taken it for granted. The people sent by the organization to guard the six ancient altars were as strong as clouds. With their true appearance, even if they sent thousands of excellent soldiers, they would die in vain. This is beyond modern technology.
How can we use the power of the military to solve things outside of civilization?" Yang Di said with a noncommittal smile.
"General Liang, according to the treaty signed at the beginning, as long as the disputes in the monastic community do not occur within the prohibited area, we have no right to intervene."
Ji Kaixiu frowned and couldn't help but remind him that he had also heard for a long time that this military boss had always had prejudices against those who practiced Taoism and regarded them as a threat to modern society.
Now that this mentality is involved in this matter, it is obviously very inappropriate.
As one of the heads of the country's special departments, their security bureau has been dealing with these matters for a long time and is well aware of some of the truths involved. At this time, it is naturally necessary to stand up and speak out.
"Okay, General Liang, you are bringing your personal emotions to this matter. This will not help solve the problem. We invite these two people and the senior leaders of the Taoist sect to come over just to discuss the potential threat and not to complicate the problem.
change!"
At this time, the white-haired old man sitting in the middle broke the silence and came out to mediate the matter.
In fact, the entire military, including the authorities, has a natural rejection of those who practice Taoism. In other words, there are some irreconcilable contradictions between modern technological civilization and cultivation civilization.
If possible, the authorities and even people in modern society would naturally have all the things that the cultivation civilization desires to completely disappear from this planet.
However, despite their inherent rejection, some high-level officials in the government will take stock of the situation and think about some objective problems. The birth of the Security Bureau is a sign of compromise.
The white-haired old man at the moment obviously had the same mentality. He stopped the hostility of Chief of Staff Liang Bowen, but he was not enthusiastic about people like Yang Di.
I am too willing to contact these religious people, but due to reality, I have no choice but to sit on the negotiation table together.
"This old man has a great background. His name is Lu Yun. He is the Deputy Minister of Defense of China. His behavior is conservative, but he is still respectable." Di Bo continued to introduce someone.
Yang Di felt a little dizzy. She originally thought that Yu Er's father wanted to talk to her in private, but she didn't expect that this meeting would be so formal.
To be honest, he didn't like this kind of occasion, but since it was here, he could only bite the bullet and listen.
