The matter has come to an end. Everyone in Qimen was not sure how to handle Zhang Qilu and the others before. Now that they have two more helpers, all their thoughts have disappeared at this moment.
It's easy for people from Qimen to handle the corpse of Hai Zhu.
It was almost dawn when we returned to the small village. Gradually, the mist in the mountains turned red at first. The red color became thicker and thicker. Suddenly, a halo of light popped out of the red cloud. Slowly, the sun rose from between the mountains, and its rays of light fell on the small village.
Xu Qianqian's minivan can still run after yesterday's disaster, but it has changed beyond recognition. I went to a car repair shop in the village to repair it, and they said it could be repaired in the afternoon. The car repairman slapped his chest loudly and promised to repair the car like new one.
Most of the people in this village are peripheral personnel of Qimen, and most of them don't know what is going on in Qimen. Everyone is busy with their own farm chores when they have nothing to do, and they are always there when asked.
The proprietress Feng Jiang took Zhang Qilu and others to a vacant village house to rest. The house seemed uninhabited but was very clean. Lu Huanxi and the fat man Liu Shilong were on duty on the first floor, while the others rested separately.
It was already afternoon when Zhang Qilu woke up. Arriving at the middle hall, General Tuo was already sitting on the Eight Immortals table, waiting for Zhang Qilu. There was a black travel bag on the table in front of him. After seeing Zhang Qilu, he opened the bag and found a pile of square and golden bricks neatly stacked inside.
"There are twenty gold bricks here, each one is one kilogram and is worth about two million. We only have these here, and we have to go to the city to get the rest."
Zhang Qilu didn't say much and asked Xu Qianqian to put away the travel bag. After everyone discussed, Liu Silong took his younger brother and Lu Huanxi to the city with the Qimen to collect the remaining balance. Wu Ruyi heard that they were looking for Yaoshi Wangbo. When she was a child, her father brought her to Jiangnan and met this man. Zhang Qilu went to Yaoshi Wangbo first and met there later. Based on Liu Silong's knowledge, Liu Shilong's kung fu and Lu Huanxi's adaptability, as long as they don't make mistakes, there should be no mistakes.
When Zhang Qilu saw their van again, he couldn't believe his eyes. The car was completely brand new, just like a new car.
Zhang Nian'er clamored to drive, so everyone tried to comfort her, but Zhang Nian'er refused. In the end, Fifth Ruyi took out a third-order Rubik's Cube from her treasure box, which attracted Zhang Nian'er's attention. Zhang Nian'er stayed with Fifth Ruyi along the way. Everyone was quiet all the way.
At first, everyone thought that Zhang Nian'er was attracted by the magic power of the Rubik's Cube, but not long after setting off, they discovered that the third-order Rubik's Cube in Zhang Nian'er's hand had been restored long ago and was put aside, and the fourth-order Rubik's Cube in his hand had also been restored. What Zhang Nian'er cares about is not the Rubik's Cube. These things are just childish in her opinion. She only cares about the treasure box on Fifth Ruyi's back.
Although it was said to be a treasure chest, there were actually more than a hundred kinds of things in it. Fifth Ruyi opened the mechanisms one by one to show Zhang Nian'er. There were various tools arranged in categories in the box, various materials needed by craftsmen, and some compressed food. A simple change of clothes and even some daily necessities.
Zhang Qilu was stunned as he watched from the side. No matter how he looked at it, the contents of the treasure box were beyond the scope of this box.
Zhang Qilu and Wu Ruyi had many common topics, and they chatted together easily.
"Your lightning talisman is a bit interesting."
It is rare for Zhang Qilu to meet like-minded people with whom he can communicate in this regard. He was interested and said, "This is actually the same as your formation. One of my teachers told me that the Tao of Talismans is like depositing Qi in a bank in advance like money, and taking it out when you need it. When you use your formation, you need a lot of spiritual materials to assist you. It's like you have a lot of money on your body, ready to be used at any time."
Wu Ruyi heard Zhang Qilu's unique metaphor, thought for a while and said, "Your metaphor is very novel, and that's pretty much what it means. The formation emphasizes borrowing the method of heaven, following the method of the earth, and responding to the method of people."
The method of borrowing the sky is to borrow the power of nature and combine it with Yi Xue Tai Chi Bagua to exert the power of the formation. The method of following the ground is to use appropriate formations according to the geographical environment. The Yingren method refers to the reasonable use of formations based on the situation of the enemy and one's own side. "
Seeing that Zhang Qilu was listening with great interest, Wu Ruyi continued, "I think the key point of your talisman method is to communicate the source of power. It is impossible for ordinary people to use your talismans as well as you do. It's like you are doing it on your own." I have a safe at home that I can use anytime.”
"Yes, I have received enlightenment from a master. I think we can study it together sometime." Zhang Qilu has special eyesight, and he can almost tell what kind of person he is at a glance. He hardly wastes a word on people he despises. If you see the right person, you know everything and talk about everything. Even if I only knew this person for a short time.
Fifth Ruyi's recognition of Zhang Qilu continues to rise from yesterday's work and a few conversations today. She is also happy to share her experiences with others who share the same goals. She went on to say
"I have fought against the formation masters of Europa before. Their Western stuff is completely different from ours. Their formations are called formations, but I think it is more like a sealed method. They use things that do not belong to them. The power is borrowed and sealed on various Western magic weapons. To use it, you can actually break the seal. It seems to be more convenient and more powerful than our Chinese formations and talismans, but this is like the right way and the evil way. They When you gain power, who knows what you sacrifice and how risky it is. When you use it, you are more likely to be counterattacked by uncontrollable power at any time, and you might even get yourself killed."
Zhang Qilu thought carefully about Wu Ruyi's words and said, "Using the metaphor of money again, they are like stealing money, cheating money, and can be caught at any time."
"Bingo. That's an apt metaphor."
When the two were chatting happily, the car had already driven to the edge of a wetland. Wetlands are actually shallow swamps that maintain a delicate ecological balance. In the words of Buddhists, this place is like a self-contained small world.
After parking their new van and standing on the edge of the wetland, they could see a few old houses in the distance, like a small village.
The villagers' boat that Zhang Qilu and the others were riding in was slowly traveling along the winding and elegant river in the wetland. Only then did they truly appreciate the beauty of the wetland. Sometimes the clouds and mist surge, like a jade dragon appearing and disappearing; sometimes it is half-covered and half-illuminated, like the girl holding the pipa and half-covering her face. Suddenly a reed swamp came into view, and a faint fragrance floated there.
Near the village, a small island appeared. The island was full of chrysanthemums of different colors. October is the season when chrysanthemums are in full bloom. All kinds of chrysanthemums are in full bloom. The red ones are like emeralds, the green ones are like emeralds, the white ones are like jade, and the yellow ones are like gold. The chrysanthemums are blooming in a colorful way, which is a beautiful scenery of thousands of purples and reds. Even Zhang Nian'er couldn't take his eyes off him, neither playing nor making trouble, with little stars shining in his eyes.
Stepping ashore, we came to a small courtyard. There was a person in the courtyard who was walking back and forth, as if he was very anxious.
Xu Qianqian, who was pushing Zhang Qilu's wheelchair, immediately shouted in surprise when she saw this person, "Brother Doudou, why are you here?"
