《Spies of the Republic of C》Chapter 18 The Follow-up
Advertisement
As usual, ning zhiheng enters his conscious space every night when he sleeps, which has become an instinct.
Every time he recited sutras under the bodhi tree, he entered a state of deep meditation and sitting in oblivion. The brain goes into a state of deep sleep.
In this state his spirit was of great joy and peace. The average person will have light sleep or dream after falling asleep. Deep sleep doesn't take long, just an hour or two.
Even some neurasthenia, simply can not enter the deep sleep state, the whole night is in the light sleep, or even the state of sleep, there is movement to wake up.
Ning Zhiheng had a serious nervous breakdown in his previous life. Sometimes two or three hours a night is the most. It is, of course, due to his work environment and experience.
Especially when his wife left him with their children, he could hardly sleep at night, and his mental state was very bad.
But since the day he entered the conscious space and recited the Sutras under the bodhi tree. That's how things change. The extreme spiritual peace and quiet, the meditative state of consciousness, all let his spirit and body get the maximum cultivation and nourishment.
In this state, he does not feel the passage of time. No matter how hard he works during the day and how tired his body is, when he enters the conscious space that night to recite the Sutras, and when he exits the conscious space in the morning to wake up, his mind and body will be at their best, full of energy and muscular strength.
Sitting cross-legged under the bodhi tree, quiet and serene chanting sound is still ringing in the ears. Read in response to the voice, feeling the extreme peace and emptiness.
In this state of obsession, I do not know how long, he finally stopped reading the scriptures, retired from the quiet and empty state of meditation.
He looked up at the green leaves of the linden tree and frowned, a little apprehensive.
Ever since the bodhi tree entered his consciousness. A fruit and a leaf have been consumed. The consumption of the fruit caused him to make this magical crossing.
A green leaf has greatly improved his physical quality.
Thus it can be seen that every consumption can make him get great benefits. There were six leaves left on the tree, consumed but not grown.
This state of only getting out and not getting in made him feel very sad. After thinking about it for a long time, I felt that since there were fruits and green leaves on the bodhi tree, there must be a reason for its growth.
What he needs to do now is to find ways to make the lindens grow more green leaves and fruit, and to find specific sources of energy that can help with growth.
Suddenly, it clicked. The bodhi tree is the most precious treasure of Buddhism, and every time you enter the consciousness space, you can hear the magical chanting sound from the bodhi tree. All this shows that all these are closely related to Buddhism.
In the last few years of his previous life, he had been slowly exposed to Buddhist culture because of his political career and marital difficulties. He even has several old editions of zen buddhist sutras in his collection.
With some of his knowledge of Buddhist culture, most of the sutras he heard recited on a daily basis were different.
The sutras emanating from the bodhi tree were random, and in many cases he did not know which sutras he was reciting.

He had tried to recite parts of the Dhamma Sutra that he had memorized in his previous life. But it had no effect. There was no way to enter the state of tranquility. That is to say, only passively following the scriptures from the bodhi tree is effective.
Maybe he should collect some buddhist relics and artifacts to see if there is any effect. Maybe it will bring him some surprises.
With this idea, the more Ning Zhiheng thought about it, the more he felt it made sense. Jinling in Nanjing is the ancient capital of the six Dynasties and also a famous Buddhist shrine in history.
Even after thousands of years. There are as many as dozens of Buddhist temples still preserved near Nanjing. There are also many Buddhist objects preserved among the people. Shouldn't be too hard to collect.
The next morning, Ning Zhiheng got up early, washed and went out, today he did not wear a military uniform, but a student casual clothes, a pair of young students dress up.
His task today is to follow the road map provided by Huang Taiguang, along Yanagida Yuki's daily commute. Look for the room with the flowers on the windowsill in your mind.
Arrived at the Beihua street Liutian yuki living in the house, the gate is still confined. Surrounding residents and neighbors are walking away, afraid of getting into trouble.
But the gate of a yard opposite stood ajar, and a young man in plain clothes was pouring out water. Seemingly casual eyes swept over him.
Ning Zhiheng recognized this person is four days ago to arrest Liutian yuki, responsible for surveillance and give Huang Taiguang briefing of the intelligence staff.
Well, it looks like intelligence hasn't given up completely, and the surveillance staff hasn't gone away. Ning Zhiheng ignored his shot to the eyes, did not stop, began to set the route patrol.
The man looked at Ning Zhiheng somewhat suspicious, four days ago saw ning Zhiheng in a hurry, now Ning Zhiheng changed his clothes, he just felt some impression. But if there is a trace of doubt, be prepared to follow.
At this time behind came a whisper: "Don't follow, is the action team's own people. That day personally arrested Fu Cheng. Ha ha, it seems that there is no action department ah!"
After the young man heard, did not show any abnormality, will wash gargle water pour in the doorway, turned leisurely back to their own courtyard. It was as if nothing had happened.
Ning Zhiheng walked slowly, looking around, carefully observing the houses on both sides of the street.
Jinling is a very prosperous city with many houses and shops on both sides of the road. Two-story buildings abound. There are also many two-story houses with flowers on the windowsills. Many of them are very similar to the one in mind.
After all, the short moment in the mind, the space is limited, and did not show the house around the scenery, want to carefully identify, or a certain degree of difficulty.
But Ning zhiheng is a very patient person, the distance is not very far, he is confident that he can get something.
Slowly look forward carefully, walking on the paper to do a good mark, imperceptibly went to the place where Liutian yuki went to work.
All the way carefully noted down seven houses, and the mind of the house are very similar, there are three houses on the windowsill is put flowers.
He walked up and down three more times and added two more houses to the paper. In all, there were nine houses with window sills and houses of similar styles as I remember.

All he had left to do was sift through the nine rooms. Three of the houses with the flowers will be the focus of the investigation.
The rest of the work is tedious and a lot of work. He can't do it all by himself in a short time. He decided to use Liu datong to complete the initial screening. This kind of thing is more suitable for you than yourself.
Time is too important, the distance from The arrest of Fu Cheng is four days, if his accomplices feel wrong, will give up this communication place, then even found the house is not useful.
This was the last clue and hope in the case, and he would do his best to complete it.
Towards noon he arrived at the police station near Beihua Street. Nanjing city is very large, the police general bureau under the large and small there are more than 20 police stations. In charge of every section of the city.
Liu Datong at this time just ready to go home for lunch, just out of the police station saw Ning Zhiheng oncoming.
Ning Zhiheng waved, Liu Datou quickly followed behind. They turned and entered a nearby hotel, where they found a secluded private room. Ning Zhiheng readily ordered a few dishes, and Liu Datong poured tea gallantly: "What do you want to see me about? Tell me what you want, and I'll do it for you."
Ning Zhiheng took out the marked drawings from his pocket. He pushed it on the table to Liu Datong and said, "NOW I have a case to catch a Japanese spy. Now we have a clue. But I am not very familiar with the urban streets of Nanjing city. What I want you to do now is to follow the nine houses marked on my drawing. I want you to go from room to room. Find out who owns each of these nine houses? What about your family? What's the background? In particular, there are Chinese rose potted people, to pay special attention to, be sure to ask carefully. What need you to pay attention to is, this thing wants to do concealment, absolutely can't snitch, can do?"
Liu Datong stretched out his hand to take over the drawing, looked at it carefully and said: "You can rest assured, these several houses are in our jurisdiction. If you want a cat or a dog, I can bring it back to you without anyone knowing it."
"Well, remember, the sooner the better. The longer it takes, the more likely the spy will escape."
Ning Zhiheng is very satisfied, in this area of jurisdiction, Liu Datong is the local snake. They can call up the details of every home in their district from the police department and know exactly what's going on in their district.
Liu Datong is the best way to identify the residents. Far more efficient than using the intelligence services and the intelligence and ops teams.
In fact, this is a big reason why every spy organization in history has had to expand. They all need to absorb some local forces familiar with the local situation as a peripheral organization, in order to enhance the ability to control the local.
"How soon can you finish the survey?" Ning Zhiheng is still some don't rest assured, after all, Liutian yuxing tree has been caught for a long time, perhaps now his accomplices have given up the communication place.
As long as they get liutian yuxing tree captured information, who can not guarantee that he will not open the communication place for out.
The safest and safest way is to get out and lie low. Because at that time the arrest yanagida yuki movement is very big. Although Huang Taoguang judge his accomplice do not know Fu Cheng cover identity, between each other is through the dead mailbox to contact, but this is after all the judgment, is not necessarily accurate.
So time is of the essence now. As quickly as possible, it is vital that the Japanese spy organization does not have time to respond.
Liu Datong heard Ning Zhiheng asked, he knew the time was very urgent. He thought to himself and said, "I will investigate as soon as possible. If you give me the afternoon, I'll come to your place this evening and give you the results of my investigation. '
It seems that Liu Datong is very capable to complete the investigation so quickly. I had expected to finish the survey tomorrow at the earliest. No, he just needs the afternoon. Don't underestimate the time of day, and your chances of success are greatly increased.
"Are you sure? Ning zhiheng asked again.
"Sure, don't worry, but I'll have to use some of my men to finish the investigation in such a short time. Well, I'm not the only one who knows. I've been at the police station for years. There are still a few people on the staff who can help. Move them around. We'll be able to find out before dark."
"Can I count on all your brothers? Also, the movement must not make a big noise, the action must be hidden, if the chickens fly and dogs jump, it will certainly not be able to alarm the snake." Ning Zhiheng some hesitation, he did not know liu Datong hand will have what kind of hands, can be involved with the police, will not be honest flat people. The fear is that these people are mixed, good and bad, things do bad.
"Don't worry. I have men at the station I can trust, and I have brothers on the street with whom I have grown up. I liu Big head to be able to mix today a squad leader position, is also by the help of these brothers. They are all reliable, and they will keep their mouths shut, and will not hinder your business." Liu Datong immediately patted chest promise.
Ning zhiheng nodded. It was a good thing that Liu datong had a useful hand. This shows that he can indirectly control this small gang through Liu Datong, can initially form their own power.
"That's for the best! "Said Ning zhiheng. Then he flicked a wad of bills down on the table. "Here are two hundred fiat dollars. Consider them your expenses. I don't care how you use it, I just want the result."
Liu Datong was confused by Ning Zhiheng's move, he is not without money. But he is a small patrol captain, a month's salary is only 20 fiat, even to receive black money to his hand is not much oil.
It was at the very beginning of fiat money issuance, and it was at its strongest. Two hundred fiat dollars was his income for several months.
"What are you doing? It is not the right thing to do for you. With your big tree under my cover, I will have a better life in the future. Should give you filial piety, how still can let you spend money!" Say again and again waving his hand, returned the money.
Ning Zhiheng smiled slightly and pushed the money back to Liu Datong and said, "It is only natural to take money for business. I mean, if you're gonna hang out with me, it's not gonna make you run errands. Besides, you also have to arrange the work of your brothers under your hand. If you don't charge, your brothers also have to spend, so you can't let them use their efforts in vain. No one wants to do anything that doesn't pay these days. I don't call people around for nothing. Rest assured, I still don't see this little money in the eyes, as long as you do your best, the benefits of nature and not you."
He now has a lot of money in his hand, most of which he gives to his teacher, He Feng. He also reserved some money for turnover, just for the convenience of doing things on weekdays.
Hearing this, Liu Datong was very grateful. I did not expect that this patron, at a young age does not show the mountain water leakage, is a rich and forusive master. It seems that his luck has turned, finally embrace a thick leg.
Did not expect plain white got this wealth, Liu Datong was very happy. Rich is to have face, when the time comes this stack of notes in front of the brothers, that style, that scene, do not mention how tough.

Black Wind, White Lotus
In this world, there are haves and have nots. The former are pureblooded humans, some of whom are capable of manipulating qi, the mysterious energy that flows through every living creature, to miraculous results that defy the laws of nature and physics. Wen Feili was one such cultivator. However, she allied with the have nots- the anthropomorphic hybrids incapable of channeling qi-and dabbled in forbidden demonic arts, seeking to change the very composition of reality. This did not end well for her, and she was consumed by her own flames. A decade later, far in the northwestern mountains, her daughter Wen Fengli is working as a lowly servant of the minor Shuangshan sect. In between sweeping the floor and avoiding bullies, she secretly trains with a wooden sword, hoping to become a warrior cultivator at some point in the future. However, since she's part-human, part-wolf, it's just a pipe dream. ....or so she bitterly thought. However, one day a mysterious amulet that belonged to her mother falls into her hands. A deranged old master, a terrible conspiracy, a mysterious past? None of that matters to tomboyish wolfgirl, who only seeks to become stronger. She embarks on a journey of adventure and self-discovery, towards the mysterious southern lands where pure demi-humans are said to live...as spectre of war once again envelops the world of man. This is a Chinese-themed fantasy story set in a fictional world. You can classify it as xianxia, if you wish, but it's a rather low fantasy variant; the heavenly realm is silent, no one reached immortality in generations, and magical artifacts of old are locked away and feared. Magical beasts and spirits have been driven to the corners of civilisation, and "ordinary" abilities such as flying or controlling swords through telekinesis are considered spectacular feats. The main plot of this book revolves around a kemonomimi girl who seeks power, no matter the cost. This story also features multiple character pov, and will not always follow the perspective of the mc- there are two major plotlines, one connected to conspiracy and war ongoing in the political background of the presented world, and the other focusing on the main character's physical and metaphorical journey. The cover image was drawn by minyaxj, per my request, on a commercial license.

Advent of the Mindfire Mage: A Challenger's Return Story
Updates MWF, 6PM EST! Not so long ago, a story was posted on Webnovel, one that fired my imagination unlike almost anything before or since. It was known as The Challenger's Return: Rebirth of the Rainbow Mage. However, 150 chapters in, the author NightWind, who I'd personally interacted with and begun to consider a true friend, vanished from the internet without a trace. And so, I have acted upon my fervent desire to pick up his torch, to refuse to let his world that stirred such passion in me die. Read below about my own take on The Challenger's Return. Was Lheticus summoned to the Tower by chance, or by choice? Either way, with the new power he wins, he won't hesitate to burn anyone who seeks to keep him from his true love to cinders, and with a unique ability of the highest potential, he may just succeed, but he's just as likely to burn himself down. And as it turns out, the latter case may be woven into his very destiny...can that destiny be changed? And if it is, what will be the repercussions for the Tower? (You may want to read a fair amount of the original Challenger's Return before starting this, as, particularly in the early chapters, many things that are laid out in it are glossed over in this story.)
