Chapter 297: The Lingering Ghost
Here at Lingbaosi, there are no big things, but quite a lot of small things.
On this day, Zhang Ye went to inspect the production conditions of the forging workshop. When he returned, a masked man jumped out and shouted three times for grandpa before disappearing without a trace.
This made Zhang Ye a little confused, but after thinking about it, he realized that this was Bai Yunhai fulfilling his bet. Of course, Bai Yunhai was by no means the kind of person who was willing to admit defeat. It was purely because of his inner demons that he had no choice but to call Zhang Ye "grandpa" three times.
"Master Yunhai, run slower, the road is slippery!" Zhang Ye yelled from a distance. The masked man in the distance almost fell down, but did not look back and disappeared.
Zhang Ye was in a good mood. He had just returned to the other hospital when he received a notice and was summoned by the General Secretary.
Zhang Ye ran to the General Director's Hall in a hurry again. The General Director disappeared for a long time. Now that he is back, he must have dealt with the Heart of the Universe.
"My subordinates have met Mr. General Secretary." Mr. General Secretary was sitting in the main seat. He seemed to have lost a lot of weight. Zhang Ye bowed his hands and saluted.
"Xiao Zhang, you're here." Although Mr. Souji was thin, he was in a good mood. There was no one else around, so Mr. Souji said directly, "Although there were some twists and turns in the matter of the Heart of the Universe, it has finally been dealt with. It has been lost." Out of heaven."
"The Immortal Emperor commended our Nantian Mansion, especially our Lingbao Division." Mr. General Si briefly explained the situation and took out a white jade vial, "I heard that you discovered the Heart of the Universe, and asked me to give it to you. An infinite elixir as a reward."
Wuji elixir, recorded in the "Wujiang Dan Jing", is a high-level elixir that allows monks under the immortal to break through the first level of cultivation without any obstacles. Zhang Ye ordered Tuanzi to focus on the elixir to conquer.
Didn’t expect that the Immortal Emperor would give him a Wuji elixir? Judging from the appearance of Mr. General Secretary, Lingbaosi must also have benefited from it, so Zhang Ye did not refuse. This was what he deserved.
With nothing else to do, Zhang Ye said goodbye and left. When he walked out of the headquarters hall, Zhang Ye swallowed the Wuji elixir. When he refined the divine weapon Ahua, the system rewarded Zhang Ye for improving his cultivation level by one level. At that time, he had reached the peak of human immortality. After taking this Wuji elixir, Zhang Ye's cultivation level had no bottleneck and he had broken through to the early stage of earth immortality.
Zhang Ye feels good about becoming an Earth Immortal, because regardless of his position or cultivation, he has a certain ability to protect himself in the immortal world.
Zhang Ye has tasted the sweetness of the Wuji elixir. It is estimated that the days after Tuanzi will be difficult again, and Zhang Ye will definitely be forced to death.
…
In charge of the other courtyard, Bai Yunhai was like an angry child, his eyes red with anger.
Manager Bai looked at his nephew, and after a long time he sighed: "You will gain wisdom if you take a hard step. You had such a smooth life before, so a little setback is not a bad thing."
"But second uncle, I feel that Zhang Ye has become my inner demon. No matter what I do, his shadow is always in my mind." Bai Yunhai gritted his teeth, "Without him, my nephew will never be able to go further in this life!"
Manager Bai's face turned green and he scolded: "Nonsense!"
Immediately, Manager Bai looked around and saw that no one else was there, and whispered: "Zhang Ye is the deacon of Lingbao Division, and he has a name in the heart of the General Division. Can he kill him if he wants? I want to harm you. Isn’t it possible for the second uncle?”
"But..." Bai Yunhai was about to say something, but was interrupted by Manager Bai: "There is no but!"
Bai Yunhai didn't dare to speak anymore, but she felt aggrieved like a little girl, with tears streaming down her face.
Manager Bai rolled his eyes, rubbed his temples, and said: "How old are you to cry? My second uncle won't ignore you. Your inner demons will be left to my second uncle to help you solve it. It's only a matter of time."
"As for you, after losing such a big person, Lingbao Division will not stay here for the time being. There is a small-scale conflict at the border between the Buddha Kingdom and the Immortal Realm. You can become a craftsman accompanying the army, accumulate some merit, and then return to Lingbao Division. Si, I have reason to promote you!”
Hearing these words, Bai Yunhai broke down in tears and smiled, as long as there was no Zhang Ye: "Thank you, uncle!"
"Remember, the army is not like Lingbaosi. Please give me some peace of mind." Manager Bai warned him a few more words, his eyes full of doting.
…
On Zhang Ye's side, trivial matters continued, and he was summoned by the chief executive again. Chief Zhao got straight to the point: "Your dual-dao spiritual treasure project has been approved. The military also agreed to this plan and directly placed an order for a thousand pieces. After that, After weighing all parties and taking into account your special situation, we will give you a reward of 800 contribution points per piece."
The average mid-grade spiritual treasure only has a contribution value of 500, but it is really good to get 800.
"Thank you, Mr. Zhao." This is good news. Although Zhang Ye is not afraid of others snatching the project because he is the only one capable of doing this job, he was still relieved to hear this. At least he no longer has to worry about forging work in the future.
"But..." Director Zhao suddenly made a change, and Zhang Ye frowned. Generally speaking, a change means that the news behind it is not good news. Is there something unexpected?
Director Zhao did not give in and said directly: "However, the military requires you to go to the border military camp for forging so that you can equip it quickly. If you agree, Lingbao Division will arrange for you to go on a business trip."
Going to the border military camp? Hearing that there was a war between the Immortal Realm and the Buddhist Kingdom during this time, Zhang Ye didn't want to go because it was too dangerous.
But now that the instructions from above have come down, Zhang Ye has no choice but to refuse, and Director Zhao is just going through the motions by asking this, not asking for Zhang Ye's opinion at all. Thinking of the value brought by these thousand Dual Dao Spiritual Treasures, Zhang Ye had no choice but to agree.
Seeing Zhang Ye's agreement, Director Zhao handed Zhang Ye a new waistband. On the front of the waistband was the word "Feiyun Army" and on the back was Zhang Ye's name.
"The Feiyun Army is the army you are going to." Zhao explained, "To facilitate your entry and exit, you have been given a temporary military registration. According to the level of Lingbaosi's deacon, it is equivalent to a centurion."
Centurion? That's not bad, as long as it's not a chores. Zhang Ye thanked him and went back to pack up for a while, and then ten Feiyun Army soldiers came to Lingbaosi to pick up Zhang Ye.
The leader was a squad leader, a peak human immortal, named Jiang Hu, with a square face and a serious expression. After introducing himself, he said, "We are ordered to escort Deacon Zhang to the Feiyun Army!"
The Shuangdaoyi Lingbao is a group of secret weapons, so Zhang Ye's safety is particularly important. These ten people will be responsible for protecting Zhang Ye's personal safety in the future.
"Thank you all." Zhang Ye thanked him, but the ten soldiers had cold faces and did not respond. They just hurried on their way. Even if Zhang Ye asked questions along the way, they ignored them.
Zhang Ye gradually understood the key point. These ten men on the battlefield were only responsible for Zhang Ye's safety from now on. They felt that they were being wasted and would definitely be dissatisfied.
Zhang Ye didn't say anything. Everyone was just trying to complete the task. They didn't talk all the way. They left Nantianfu City and flew westward.
After flying for about half a day, a military camp could be seen from afar. The military tents were arranged neatly, as if there was no end; the soldiers standing guard and patrolling were staggered, with no dead corners; even if there were some scattered soldiers, they were in rows of two or three, with no signs of disorder.
This was a team with strict military discipline. Zhang Ye made a judgment in his heart.
Zhang Ye and Jiang Hu and others landed at the gate of the military camp. Jiang Hu stepped forward and showed his identity certificate. After checking one by one, the guard let him go.
"Deacon Zhang, this way." Jiang Hu said, regardless of whether Zhang Ye followed or not, he walked forward with his head down.
Zhang Ye did not delay and followed closely.
...
In the Feiyun Army Artisan Camp, an old man couldn't help but admire: "I have heard of your deeds. Seeing you today, you are indeed young and promising. With you joining the Feiyun Army Artisan Camp, it will definitely be even more powerful!"
In front of the old man was a young man with a handsome and elegant appearance. He was none other than Bai Yunhai, who was arranged to the military camp by the general manager. He said respectfully: "Master Qianhu is too kind. I will do my best to share your worries."
The old man was the master Qianhu mentioned by Bai Yunhai. He was the head of the artisan camp and also a forger, but he was uniformly called by his military rank in the army.
The old man exchanged a few words with Bai Yunhai, and then said: "General Manager Bai has greeted me. You will first serve as a sergeant and have a good experience at the grassroots level. I will recommend you as a centurion in a few days."
Sergeant? Bai Yunhai showed dissatisfaction in his eyes, but General Manager Bai had told him to be honest before coming here, so he didn't dare to resist and immediately received the identity badge.
When the old man said this, he suddenly remembered something: "By the way, it seems that there is another forger coming to your Lingbao Division in Nantianfu City."
Bai Yunhai didn't know what was going on, and his eyelids suddenly jumped: "Oh? Who is it?"
The old man was about to say something, Jiang Hu stepped in: "Reporting to the captain, I have sent Deacon Zhang."
Zhang Ye followed Jiang Hu and saw Bai Yunhai when he came. He was a little surprised. Of course, Bai Yunhai's face was even more surprised. It seemed that both parties didn't know that the other party would appear here.
Zhang Ye came back to his senses and greeted the old man. The old man said: "Deacon Zhang, Xiao Hai and I were just talking about you. You two are from Lingbao Division. I guess I don't need to introduce you?"
"No, we are very familiar with each other." Zhang Ye showed an elder-like smile.
Bai Yunhai's face was pale. He had hidden in the military camp, but Zhang Ye was still haunting him? Why didn't his uncle remind him?
In fact, it is not the fault of General Manager Bai that he does not know. Zhang Ye's dual-dao spirit treasure is currently a military secret. There are four general managers in the Lingbao Division, and this area is not under the charge of General Manager Bai, so it is normal that he does not know.
Although Bai Yunhai did not know what Zhang Ye came to the military camp for, he suddenly remembered something and said with a smile: "Deacon Zhang, I have been in the military camp for two days. I will take you around later?" Whether it was intentional or unintentional, Bai Yunhai shook the waist badge of the head of the platoon.
Hearing the address of the thousand households to Zhang Ye as a deacon, it means that Zhang Ye is on a business trip. Bai Yunhai felt that he was no longer under Zhang Ye's command, and he was an officer in the army who could suppress Zhang Ye.
How could Zhang Ye not know what Bai Yunhai was thinking, and took out his waist badge of the head of the centurion: "My old subordinate, since you are so eager, how can I refuse your kindness?"
Zhang Ye is the head of the centurion? ! Bai Yunhai shuddered with fear. His second uncle had a lot of connections to make him the head of the platoon. Isn't Zhang Ye just on a business trip? How can he become the head of the centurion?
Bai Yunhai wanted to turn the tables, but he was still pinned to the ground by Zhang Ye.
