After breakfast, Liu Qing went out for a trip.
He came back more than an hour later, carrying a backpack of pens, ink and paper, slapped it on the table, and said to Lu Wenming: "I laughed at you when I came here, saying that you can see the magic power by watching "Taiyi Jinhua Purpose" , I just ate the book.”
"Wait a moment while I finish copying the book."
After that, he began to mix ink and prepare to copy the book.
If "The Purpose of Taiyi Jinhua" does not include annotations, the original text of the thirteen chapters does not have many words. It can definitely be copied in two or three hours at most.
"Does he really want to eat the book?"
Lu Wenming did not expect that Liu Qing would keep his word.
Zhao Qingxue smiled and said: "He took advantage of it. The ink is non-toxic after being prepared, and the paper is edible. He probably went to the Goddess Temple to buy the ink and paper. This is actually a cultivation method."
“Traditional methods of increasing merit include not only swallowing talisman water, but also eating scriptures.”
"After copying, perform the corresponding rituals, then burn the scriptures, and then mix the ashes with water and swallow them."
"The effect is quite good."
So that's it.
Lu Wenming did not think that Liu Qing was not good at this. On the contrary, he could do what he said and both parties had reached a new level. Judging from the common experience on the mountain, although Liu Qing was a bit arrogant, he was still very loyal.
"Brother Liu Xinyi!"
Lu Wenming cupped his fists and saluted, Liu Qing grinned and said, "I admire you for being magnanimous and responsible."
This is like no acquaintance without fighting.
When it was almost noon, Liu Qing mixed a basin of paper ashes with water and drank it. It could be seen that even the specially prepared sutras tasted unpleasant.
But there was nothing to say, and the two shook hands heavily.
"Hey, I saw you two sworn brothers as soon as I came here." But it was Xu Jing who came in time for lunch, with a group of staff from the Tourism Bureau and the Cultural Bureau behind him.
"Come on, come on, everyone, gather together."
"Let's take a look at the damage to cultural relics caused by you going up the mountain..."
Although Xu Jing mentioned it yesterday, when people actually came today and showed them photos of the fragments of the "Departed Like a Sifu" stone tablet in the cave, it was even harder to complain.
After the formal procedures were completed, Xu Jing sat at the table and ate with them.
Said: "Destroying important national cultural relics can be a big or small matter. If it's a big deal, you need to be sentenced. If it's a small matter, you can just pay some money."
"You think so? Miss Zhao?"
Seeing Xu Jing smiling and asking herself, Zhao Qingxue probably knew what he meant and asked, "What are you going to do?"
Xu Jing said: "People don't tell secret stories. I have already reported the incident in Wushan. What it means is that Professor Wang cannot die. Miss Zhao understands?"
Zhao Qingxue only said: "The White Lotus Sect doesn't plan to do anything."
"Is it……"
Xu Jing lit a cigarette. He didn't believe Zhao Qingxue's words. The White Lotus Sect didn't intend to do anything, that is, it just wouldn't take action on its own, or Zhao Qingxue wouldn't take action.
"Fine."
Xu Jing nodded, he understood that things were not that simple.
He went to the Cultural Affairs Bureau to explain it, and a compensation plan was quickly come up. The group of them needed to compensate 100,000 yuan for the stone monument, and then everything would be fine.
They still have funds for investigation, and the money comes from the funds.
"There is nothing else to do next. I will accompany you back to Shenghai." Xu Jing sat down among the group of them familiarly, and his meaning was very clear. He wanted to escort them.
Professor Wang was also slightly relieved.
Only Lu Wenming was confused. After listening to the White Lotus Sect, he looked at Zhao Qingxue, but Zhao Qingxue didn't look at him at all...
A little dull, I got on the return bus.
After a few hours of driving, the car stopped at a small service area.
"Lu Wenming."
"Um?"
Hearing Zhao Qingxue calling him, Lu Wenming turned around and received a slap from behind. It was Liu Qing who hit him on the back of the neck, knocking him unconscious. Zhao Qingxue supported Lu Wenming and thanked Liu Qing.
"You're welcome. Brother Lu is indeed not suitable for getting involved in the world. Miss Zhao should take him away first."
Zhao Qingxue nodded, then supported Lu Wenming's body and took him off the bus. Liu Qing helped carry him to a small car as a salute.
On the other side, Xu Jing and Lu Faqiu watched the two people leave.
Lu Faqiu asked: "You won't stop me?"
Xu Jing blew out a smoke ring: "Aren't you here watching me? Besides, it doesn't matter if she leaves. If she's not here, we will only encounter a wave of interceptions, not endless ones."
"The madmen from the White Lotus Sect are very troublesome."
"Professor Wang was able to walk down the mountain alive, thanks to you, Commissioner Lu."
Lu Faqiu smiled: "It is in the interests of all parties that Professor Wang is alive, and it is in line with the balance that everyone gets the Bashu runes."
"The White Lotus Sect doesn't want Jesus to get the information."
"But in fact, the recent revival of the three religions requires some external forces to contain them. A half-dead religion is a good religion."
Xu Jing was noncommittal. From a national perspective, it could leave a space for traditional culture, but it would not allow the revival of feudal superstition. In the future, cultural recovery is inevitable due to the Nine Purples Lihuo Universiade.
But the power of the three religions, which grew with the revival of culture, was what the imperial court needed to suppress.
"This is also the mountain ghost's plan..." Xu Jing sighed with emotion.
Lu Faqiu was noncommittal: "The dragon and the snake are about to rise from the land, and the red horse and the red sheep are coming. In a time of great strife and calamity, it is impossible for the ghosts and gods to do nothing."
"Throw out the Bashu runes and destabilize the situation."
"The Mountain Ghost is looking for opportunities, but currently it is in our interests, so we can just go with the flow."
Xu Jing sneered: "Your interests are not our interests."
Lu Faqiu shrugged and said with a smile: "Ziqing Pavilion does not represent the imperial court, but it represents the people of the imperial court. The imperial court not only needs the clan bureau to manage the rivers and lakes, but also needs us to deal with the rivers and lakes."
"Things are not black and white, so don't be so rigid."
Xu Jing chuckled softly and said: "I didn't expect this incident. Ziqing Pavilion was involved from the beginning. Did you know that the mountain ghost would have such an arrangement before setting off?"
Lu Faqiu shrugged: "I don't know, I came because of Lu Wenming."
Xu Jing was puzzled: "Lu Wenming?"
Lu Faqiu chuckled and said: "When I heard Lu Wenming's reasoning about the mountain ghost from Zhao Qingxue, I knew that he is interesting. If you follow me, something interesting will happen."
"Later I read "Historical Records" written by Lu Wenming, and after dealing with him I heard more views."
"I am more and more convinced."
"Look, didn't this all happen?"
Xu Jing knew that Lu Wenming was not an ordinary researcher of pseudo-history, but he did not expect that Lu Faqiu's evaluation was so high, and Wu Shan and his party did confirm it.
Xu Jing turned around and asked, "So, Ziqing Pavilion wants to recruit Lu Wenming?"
Lu Faqiu smiled and said, "No need."
"It will be more interesting if he is in the White Lotus Sect."
"and……"
"If it's one of our own, wouldn't it be difficult to play chess against him?"
Xu Jing blew out a long smoke ring: "It's really bad..."
