Dongcheng Invincible is in a hurry.

This is something anyone can feel.

Li Tianlan was almost dragged out of the villa and out of the courtyard by him.

Thor leads the way ahead, his footsteps are flying.

The group of three quickly walked to an open space in the central area of ​​the villa, and Li Tianlan was directly stuffed into the helicopter by Dongcheng Wudi.

After a few moments, the helicopter's rotor roared up, flying higher and higher.

Li Tianlan, who was riding a helicopter for the second time in his life, looked confused. He looked at Dongcheng Invincible who was sitting opposite him and looked at him seriously, and then at Thor who was piloting the helicopter. He was full of doubts, but he didn't know where to start.

"Uncle Lei."

Li Tianlan was silent for a while, not knowing what to say to the military commander in front of him, so he turned around and called Thor.

Thunder God's roar of laughter rolled across the cabin, and it was clear and deafening amidst the whistling of the rotor: "Don't worry, boy, I don't have time to catch up with you, stay at ease, I and the commander will not harm you, why, you can't trust us ?”

Li Tianlan smiled, and did not say any more.

For him, the vast majority of people in this world cannot be completely trusted, including Dongcheng Invincible in front of him, but Thor is an exception.

At the age of seventeen, when he walked out of the camp on the border for the first time, it was not his grandfather, not any of the veterans in the camp, but Thor.

Just like today, he is sitting in the cabin, Thor is driving the helicopter, and there is a vast darkness outside the window.

That year, from southwest to northwest, from jungle to desert.

Li Tianlan slipped from his peak state, and from the beginning to the end, Thor was by his side.

The other party knew most of his secrets, and if he wanted to harm him, he would have countless opportunities to make a move every day during that year.

In the past, he was able to hand over his life to the God of Thunder countless times, but what can he not believe in facing the God of Thunder today?

Li Tianlan's heart was stable and his eyes were calm.

"Tianlan, you and Mr. Qin..."

Dongcheng Wudi, who was sitting opposite Li Tianlan, hesitated for a while, and finally asked, "How do you and Mr. Qin know each other?"

Li Tianlan was stunned, and said softly: "When I came to Huating, the first thing I saw was her."

"Elder Li arranged it?"

Dongcheng Wudi's clean face remained unchanged, but his eyes became tangled up, as if he was a bit depressed.

Li Tianlan nodded. It was not surprising that Dongcheng Wudi knew his identity. Thunder God was Dongcheng Wudi's personal soldier. What he knew, the commander would naturally know.

Dongcheng Wudi took out a cigarette and took a deep breath, shook his head, and subconsciously said, "Why are you with her..."

Seemingly hearing that his tone was wrong, Li Tianlan narrowed his eyes, and his expression became more and more calm.

As if realizing that his tone was wrong, Dongcheng Wudi smiled wryly, looked at Li Tianlan and said, "Tianlan, come, sit next to me."

"That's good. I'm airsick and dare not move."

Li Tianlan smiled and sat there motionless. He was not disgusted with this legendary commander of Central Continent. Dongcheng Invincible had mixed reputations in the dark world. However, he feels that Dongcheng Wudi's every move does not have any deep meaning, he is just bloodthirsty, such a person who makes small troubles is a murderous maniac, and if he kills a lot, he becomes a murderer.

Dongcheng Wudi is definitely not a good person, but he is extremely good to his own people.

Ning Qiancheng can make him give up the policy bureau meeting and rush to Huating with a single phone call to prove this point.

This point can also be illustrated by the fact that the Frontier Guard Corps followed him wholeheartedly to advance and retreat with him.

He is not a good man, but he is a real general, a real commander in chief.

Strong, iron-blooded, domineering.

In the past twenty years in Central Continent, Dongcheng Wudi has supported the backbone of the Central Continent border by himself. Such a person,

Regardless of his international reputation, at least in the eyes of Zhongzhou people, he is a well-deserved hero.

Li Tianlan couldn't feel bad for such a person, but now Dongcheng Wudi looked at him too strangely, and when he heard the other party asked him to sit over, he subconsciously resisted.

Dongcheng Wudi stared blankly at Li Tianlan for a while, his eyes seemed a little lost, he nodded, looked away, and said softly: "Your father and I are very good friends."

There was a trace of unspeakable bitterness in his tone: "He saved my life, and he also saved the old man. If it wasn't for your father, the current Dongcheng family might not know what it would be like."

"Although few people know about it, the Dongcheng family will never forget it, and they dare not forget it. The Dongcheng family is willing to repay this kindness at any price. Tianlan, do you understand?"

The corners of Li Tianlan's mouth twitched. He instinctively felt that something was wrong with Dongcheng Wudi's words, but he didn't know what to say. He raised his head, looked at Dongcheng Wudi seriously, and said calmly and sincerely: "Stand on my side. , This is not a question of whether I can understand it, we should be grateful, thank the Marshal and the Dongcheng family for their generosity."

"Your stand... hey... your stand."

Dongcheng Wudi laughed at himself, and seemed to have lost all interest in talking for a while. He shook his head wearily, and said softly: "The reason why I took you to the Central Plains so urgently is because the old man wants to see you. For a favor, I invited a strange person back, I hope he can show you the way. Tianlan, take advantage of this opportunity."

Li Tianlan trembled for no reason, looked at Dongcheng Wudi who had already closed his eyes, nodded silently, and stopped talking.

Helicopters fly through the air.

It was pitch black outside the window, only the whistling of the wind as the rotors turned.

Overnight, he tried out the academic attitude, and inadvertently walked into the Dongcheng family, the leader of the wealthy group.

The road ahead is dark.

What will happen tomorrow?

Li Tianlan closed his eyes, in his mind, there seemed to be footsteps sounding from a distant place, echoing deep in his heart, very lightly and quickly.

It was the footsteps of fate.

Central Plains Province.

Luo Jing.

It was almost four o'clock in the morning when the helicopter landed.

Li Tianlan, who closed his eyes and rested but did not fall asleep, got off the helicopter after Dongcheng Wudi, only to find himself at the foot of the mountain again.

In front of you is a neatly paved two-way lane, spreading from the foot of the mountain all the way up, leading to an unknown place. The straight poplar trees on both sides stand on the side of the road, reflecting the deep and mysterious road. In front of the helicopter, a row of convoys is quiet. Docked, four pitch-black Mercedes-Benz surrounded a solemn car that Li Tianlan couldn't name, and the headlights softly illuminated the road ahead.

Around each Mercedes-Benz, there are four burly men standing quietly, all in black suits. They stand beside the light and shadow of the headlights, standing silently with their hands on their stomachs, but they have a calm and dignified momentum like a mountain.

These are all elites, and I am afraid that none of them are lower than the freezing level.

Li Tianlan observed silently, followed Dongcheng Wudi, and walked towards the impressive convoy ahead.

In front of the limousine that Li Tianlan could not name, an old man standing in front of the car saw Dongcheng Wudi approaching, and immediately walked over with a smile. He ignored Dongcheng Wudi, just looked at Li Tianlan, and said with a soft smile: "This is Young Master Li?"

The old man is slightly fat, with back hair, neatly combed hair, Tang suit, cloth shoes, clean, kind eyes, looks easy to be liked.

"I'm Li Tianlan. I'm not some young master Li."

Li Tianlan smiled and said, "What do you call the old man?"

"Tianlan, this is Amber, one of the old man's personal soldiers back then, and now he is the housekeeper of the family."

Dongcheng Wudi took the initiative to introduce, his tone was calm, his face was shining brightly under the light in front of him, no one could see his expression clearly.

"Hello, Mr. An."

Li Tianlan reached out his hand to shake hands with the old housekeeper, politely, because of the mysterious and taboo Dongcheng Huangtu, Li Tianlan was very interested in the Dongcheng family, and by the way, he also learned some superficial information from Ning Qiancheng.

Before Dongcheng Invincible became the head of the Frontier Guard Corps, Dongcheng Hanguang, the old man of the Dongcheng family, was always supporting the family. The old man was also one of the marshals of Zhongzhou back then, and he also entered the decision-making bureau. In terms of status, he is one level higher than the current Dongcheng Invincible At his peak, he was the nominal second-in-command of the Zhongzhou military, but in fact he was the number one in charge of the daily work of the military. His ranking in the military was second only to the President of Zhongzhou, a real giant and big shot.

Dongcheng Hanguang's personal soldiers back then can definitely be said to be real masters.

"Young Master Li, you are welcome to visit the Dongcheng family."

Old An smiled and said, looking very kind: "Young Master Li, Master and Master are waiting for you, please get in the car."

"Amber."

Dongcheng Wudi suddenly said: "Give me a car, I have something else to do, so I won't go to the old man's for now, I will go over to have breakfast with the old man later."

Mr. An agreed with a smile, and gave Dongcheng Wudi a Mercedes-Benz.

Dongcheng Wudi took a deep look at Li Tianlan, walked into the Mercedes-Benz with Thunder God, and drove away.

Li Tianlan watched the Mercedes-Benz go away with a calm expression. Under the guidance of An Lao, he got into the limousine of an unknown brand, and An Lao drove the motorcade all the way up the mountain.

The road winds all the way up, deep and peaceful.

Occupy the mountain as king!

Li Tianlan suddenly thought of such a word in his mind, and then smiled wryly.

According to Ning Qiancheng, the entire Central Plains province is the territory of the Dongcheng family. This is the real top wealthy family in Zhongzhou. Now the Dongcheng family just set aside a mountain as their headquarters. What is this?

The speed of the convoy gradually increased.

The hustle and bustle faded away.

There is always light ahead.

A super large modern villa appeared in Li Tianlan's sight.

The height of the villa is as high as four floors, and it is extremely wide. On the top of the quiet mountain, surrounded by lights, the whole villa becomes more and more resplendent and magnificent.

In front of the villa is a large courtyard that has been remodeled, the planning is neat and reasonable, the garden, rockery, pool, jungle, the scenery is quiet, and the fragrance of flowers is overflowing. In the jungle, in a trance, Li Tianlan even felt that he had come to another world.

He has been to the Garden Feast, and the scenery inside the Garden Feast is also extremely beautiful, but that is the clubhouse.

But here, it is a private residence.

At this moment, Li Tianlan looked at everything in front of him, besides being shocked, he was still shocked.

"Let's go, the master is inside, so don't be nervous, Young Master Li."

Mr. An took Li Tianlan out of the car, led the way ahead, and walked directly to the villa.

Li Tianlan took a deep breath. He wasn't nervous, but it was the first time he stood in front of the top giants in Zhongzhou, and he always felt a little uncomfortable.

In the courtyard, there were several patrol teams in black suits carefully observing the surrounding environment, and they all bowed respectfully the first time they saw Mr. An.

Elder An looked indifferent, and led Li Tianlan all the way forward, pushed open the door of the villa, and walked in directly.

The decoration inside the villa is equally magnificent.

But Li Tianlan's eyes immediately focused on the two people sitting in the small living room.

An old man with gray hair.

A benevolent old monk in cassock.

The old man is about seventy or eighty years old, with a thin body, although his head is full of white hair, but he is extremely energetic, his eyes are even more powerful, and he has a strong aura that is not angry but powerful. It's the same line!

Li Tianlan immediately identified the old man's identity.

The old man of the Dongcheng family, Dongcheng Hanguang!

Although the old man does not have the title of God of Killing, he was equally decisive, cold-blooded and cruel when he was young. The Dongcheng family has been like this since the beginning. Every generation is like hereditary, bloodthirsty. In the generation of Dongcheng Invincible, you can Said to have reached its peak.

As for the monk next to the old man, Li Tianlan didn't know him.

"Master, Young Master Li is here."

Old An pushed the door open, looked at the white-haired old man in Xiaohui's living room, and said with a smile.

The old man had already noticed Li Tianlan behind An Lao, his eyes were astonishingly bright, he laughed and said, "Tianlan, come, let me take a good look."

Li Tianlan walked over and opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to call, so he could only bow slightly and said with a smile, "Hi, old man."

"What old man?"

Dongcheng Hanguang stared: "Call me Grandpa, I've known your grandfather for many years, so it's not too much for you to call me Grandpa?"

Li Tianlan was a little embarrassed, touched his nose subconsciously, opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a sound.

Dongcheng Hanguang didn't make things difficult for him, his bright eyes became softer and softer, and he suddenly said, "Brother Li, how are you? In a blink of an eye, you are all so old. I haven't seen my brother for a long time."

"Grandpa is fine."

Li Tianlan nodded, saying something, never talking too much, in front of such an old and mature big man, he said a lot and made a lot of mistakes.

Dongcheng Hanguang nodded, and said with a smile: "Come on, let me introduce you, this is Master Wuwei, you may not have heard of this name, you have always heard of Dao Lingkong Temple, right? Master Wuwei is the highest seniority in Dao Lingkong Temple The Living Buddha is now the abbot of Lingkong Temple on the Dao Dao, and everyone should call him Master Uncle."

Avenue Lingkong Temple!

Naturally, Li Tianlan has heard of this name. This is a martial arts faction whose reputation is only slightly worse than that of Shushan and Yaochi. It is a dual practice of Buddhism and Taoism, and its nine-character mantra is even more powerful. But this time the abbot of the temple is a Taoist priest with the Tao name Tathagata, one of the top ten contemporary masters in Central Continent.

Tathagata Taoist uncle?

This is the real master.

Li Tianlan bowed slightly, and said softly, "I've seen Master."

"Amitabha."

Master Wuwei returned the gift with clasped hands together with a smile. Looking at Li Tianlan, he suddenly smiled and said, "The benefactor can be trusted with destiny? Can he be trusted with cause and effect?"

Li Tianlan raised his eyebrows, and immediately thought of Xuan Xuanzi. The opening remarks of these two people are basically the same.

"Believe it or not."

Li Tianlan chose his words carefully, and said seriously: "Master, can you see my destiny? My karma?"

Master Wuwei hesitated for a while, clasped his hands together and said nothing, as if he was a bit embarrassed.

"Master, but it doesn't matter."

Li Tianlan said directly, Dongcheng Invincible had already said on the plane that the Dongcheng family invited a strange person today to show him the way, so he would not be polite.

For things like metaphysics, if you really meet an expert, the help you will have in the future will be immeasurable.

"I see the cause and effect of the donor..."

Master Wuwei raised his head, took a serious look at Li Tianlan, and lowered his head again.

"Grandmaster?"

Dongcheng Hanguang frowned slightly, and couldn't help but let out a cry.

Master Wuwei hesitated again, lowered his eyelids, clasped his hands together and said, "This benefactor is going against the general trend and forcibly defying the sky. It will take ten years at the most. I'm afraid he will die young and die a bad death!"

Up to ten years, not a good death!

Dongcheng Hanguang's expression changed drastically, but there was no anger, only worry in his eyes.

Taoist Xuanxuanzi and Buddhist Wuwei, these two can be said to be the real masters of metaphysics in Central Continent. The former still has some utilitarianism, so it is better to invite him.

But the latter is the real idle cloud and wild crane. If Master Wuwei didn't owe the Dongcheng family some karma many years ago, he might not be able to invite him at all in today's matter.

But now that he was invited over, the other party said that Tian Lan would die a terrible death, what the hell is this?

Li Tianlan raised his eyebrows slightly, his expression didn't change at all, he just calmly asked, "Master, does he have a solution?"

"Everything depends on God's will."

Master Wuwei chanted a Buddha's name, and said meaningfully: "Originally, the donor's fate is inexplicable, and his fate is doomed to be miserable, but about twenty years ago, the donor's fate was changed, and I am not sure what will happen in the future."

Li Tianlan grumbled expressionlessly, stood up and said, "I'm going to the bathroom."

He got up and walked out of the small living room, and Mr. An who was standing in the living room greeted him immediately, and said with a smile, "What's the matter, Young Master Li?"

Li Tianlan nodded seriously: "Although I know it's impolite to say this, if possible, I still hope that the Dongcheng family will throw that old monk out."

"Why?"

Old An's face froze.

"A charlatan, pretending to be a ghost."

Li Tianlan shook his head, disdainful.

Someone changed his fate more than 20 years ago?

Fuck you, I'm not yet twenty this year, change your sister's fate.
