In Kyoto City, inside the Japanese Embassy, in an office.
Taro Murakami looked anxious. He was pacing back and forth in front of his desk.
Hirano Keiji and his party came to Kyoto from Japan, and he arranged for people to receive them.
The place where they stayed was also arranged by Taro Murakami.
But now, since that night, he informed several of them about Chen Hai's settlement in the courtyard house in Liuhua Hutong.
Hirano Keiji and others have lost contact for several days.
"Ding ding ring... ding ding ring..." The phone rang on the desk.
"Hello, who is this?"
"Don't you think that you are the local snakes in Kyoto, and there is no one you can't find?"
"These are three Japanese citizens who want to be seen alive and dead. Now you are telling me that there is no trace of them, as if they have disappeared from the world?"
…
Furiously, after a few words, Taro Murakami hung up the phone.
In order to find traces of Hirano Keiji and others, he had put in a lot of effort and done a lot of things in the past two days.
Unfortunately, he only found out that the car driven by Hirano Keiji and others was abandoned on the side of a road not far from Liuhua Hutong.
But other than that, he gained nothing else.
"Keiji Hirano and the others must have lost contact and disappeared from the world because they went to deal with Chen Hai!"
"But this Chen Hai, before he came to the Ye family, had no power and was simply a poor student."
"What reason does a truly accomplished Taoist master have to keep guarding him?"
"Keiji Hirano is a Koga-ryu jounin. With his strength, he was killed without a trace. Is the master behind Chen Hai that strong?"
…
The more he thought about it, the more confused Murakami Taro became.
After all, some of the guesses he made cannot be explained logically in many places.
However, he can be sure that if he continues to stay in Kyoto, there will definitely be huge risks.
If you can kill Hirano Keiji and others easily and casually, it is definitely not difficult to kill yourself without anyone noticing!
Just in case, that unknown expert, through Hirano Keiji and others, followed the clues and found out what happened to him...
As he thought about it, Taro Murakami was already breaking out in a cold sweat.
Although he had already planned, as long as Senior Sister Ono's revenge was avenged, he would die for love and go to hell to keep her company.
But now, Chen Hai has nothing wrong with him, and the mysterious master behind him has not even seen his shadow...
How could Taro Murakami be willing to die before his ambition was fulfilled?
"Let's go, go quickly!"
"Kyoto is too dangerous, I have to go back to Japan!" His two brows were already knitted together. After a brief silence, Murakami Taro had already made a decision in his heart.
After tidying up the documents on his desk, he took big steps and walked outside.
…
Liuhua Hutong, inside the courtyard, in the practice room.
Chen Hai, who sat cross-legged on the ground and thought for a while, finally stood up slowly.
He only swayed slightly between the two cultivation paths of Dao and Saint. Soon, he had already made a decision in his heart.
As the thoughts in his mind became more and more determined.
The 'holy' he chose has no other changes except that it is slightly clearer.
However, the 'Tao' he gave up quickly became blurred until it completely disappeared.
What made Chen Hai feel even more strange was that it was not just the word 'Tao' in his mind that suddenly disappeared.
All memories related to this method were forcibly erased from his mind, as if under the influence of some powerful force.
Cut the grain
When Chen Hai stretched out and really stood up from the futon, he had no memory of not only the word 'Tao', but also the eel trapped in the belly of the Black Water Leech King.
He just remembered that a few days ago, with the help of visualization, he had a glimpse of the Black Water Leech Emperor and received the inheritance of the word "holy".
"After I have reached the state of mastering things, I can directly embark on the road to becoming a saint."
"It's a pity that I don't know when I will be able to recover from my injuries. If I want to reach perfection in the realm of controlling things, it's even further out of reach!"
"It is too dangerous to visualize a terrifying existence like the Black Water Leech Emperor. Now that I know what the future holds, it would be better to avoid random visualizations as much as possible in the future..."
His own memory disappeared inexplicably, and Chen Hai didn't seem to notice it at all.
After stretching his body for a while, he dragged his still weak and tired body towards the outside of the practice room.
"You've been in the training room all day. Have you finally come out? Are you feeling better?"
"You! You have been obsessed with practicing all day long, and I haven't been here for a day or two. As a result, you have made yourself half dead again!"
In the living room, Ye Qingqing, who was watching TV, saw Chen Hai appear. She quickly stood up and came over to greet him.
Although she complained about Chen Hai, she still looked concerned. She was worried that Chen Hai would be unsteady and fall, so she carefully supported him and helped him sit on the sofa.
"Accident, it was just an accident. I never thought that I would end up like this!" Chen Hai explained after laughing twice.
My health was in terrible shape. I was shaky when I walked and seemed to fall down at any time.
His physical condition cannot be hidden from others.
After settling Bai Xiaohang and returning from the hospital, Chen Hai immediately noticed something was wrong with Ye Qingqing.
In the past two days, in order to take care of Chen Hai, she rarely went to Huaqing University.
As for her newly adopted godson and goddaughter, apart from helping them arrange school and accommodation, the two of them could handle the rest by themselves, and Ye Qingqing didn't need to worry about it.
After helping Chen Hai to the sofa, Ye Qingqing walked to the TV cabinet a few steps away, picked up two boxes, and then sat back down next to Chen Hai.
"You choose one of the gifts for you!" She pointed at the two boxes and said with a smile.
"What is this?" Chen Hai was stunned.
He was a little confused, but driven by curiosity, he finally picked up one of the boxes and opened it carefully.
The thing inside the box is a long black object, its size is slightly larger than a palm.
The top is the screen, the bottom is the buttons, and there is something as thick as a little finger on the top, like an antenna.
"A pager? It's not like a phone. It's only so big and can be easily put into a trouser pocket. How is this possible?"
Chen Hai took this thing and looked at it over and over for a long time, and finally found the instruction manual inside the box.
"This is called a mobile phone, Nokia 2110. It just entered our Yanhuang country this year."
"As soon as I learned about this from my friend, I bought two of them."
"There are two of us, one for each of us. This thing is small and exquisite, and can be carried around with us."
"If you want to make a call, just press the button above and dial the phone number."
"Compared with Big Brother, this phone is not only lighter and lighter, but the signal is much stronger..."
While Chen Hai was reading the instructions, Ye Qingqing covered his mouth and smiled, explaining to him.
After hearing what Ye Qingqing said, Chen Hai also became interested.
The numbers of these two mobile phones started with 139. He picked one mobile phone and held it for himself. After asking Ye Qingqing to take out the other mobile phone, he tried to make a call and talk to her.
"Hey, Qingqing, I'm in the pavilion outside the yard, can you hear me?"
"Hey, Qingqing, I'm in the training room. Is the signal there good?"
…
Having just gotten such a new toy, Chen Hai had a great time playing with it.
It wasn't until more than half an hour later that the novelty wore off a little and he returned to the sofa in the living room.
"From now on, my phone will be on 24 hours a day. If anything happens, you have to call me as soon as possible. Do you understand?"
Ye Qingqing was also happy to see how excited he was about the gift he gave to Chen Hai.
She looked at Chen Hai who had just sat down with a smile and warned him.
