After dinner and seeing Ding Lianqiu off, Lu Cheng said, "The weather is warm at noon, shall we go out for a walk?"

Jiang Qiuyun smiled and said, "Okay, let's go to the moat and take a boat ride."

The moat is like a jade belt surrounding the ancient city, with a total length of 6.9 kilometers. It can be said that "one river connects hundreds of sceneries". Taking a boat ride along the moat, you can see the black tiger roaring at the moon, Baotu soaring into the sky, the wind blowing in Luoyuan, fish watching in Longtan, crescent moon waterfall, misty rain of magpie flowers, evening light of Huibao, smoke in autumn willows, transcendent Zhiyuan, Zengdi There are more than 310 scenic spots including Yingshui.

The two played outside all afternoon and waited until the sun set before returning home happily.

On December 25, at 10 o'clock in the morning, Lu Cheng heard the sound of "Ding Dong", took out his mobile phone and found that the stock market had plummeted that day, with the Shanghai Composite Index falling by 5%. The 100,000 large orders he had previously set were limited to The price was 3.59, it took 17 days, and it was finally completed.

After the stock price broke through the 3.59 tray, it fell to 3.27 in less than 10 minutes, the limit!

This kind of thing is relatively rare, because "Da Qin Technology" is half-dead, rising and falling, but it can't fall. How could it fall by 10% all of a sudden?

Lu Cheng logged into the stock trading software and set up a buy order again, placing an order of 100,000 lots with a price limit of 3.6 yuan. All transactions were completed in an instant! The stock price reached 3.5 yuan. He placed an order for 100,000 lots again, and the price limit was still 3.6 yuan. As a result, another 15,000 lots were traded, leaving 85,000 lots, which quietly formed a support base at the price of 3.6 yuan.

On this day, retail investor Luo Xingjuan was very excited.

She was not too busy at work and could read the market on her mobile phone. Before the market opened, she received bad news that a Chinese aircraft carrier had collided with a destroyer of a certain country and sunk a 13,000-ton destroyer!

This incident cast a huge shadow on the stock market, and for a while, the storm was about to come.

She watched Daqin Technology break through the price of 3.59 and soon hit the limit, and her heart was filled with chills!

"It's over. With such a limit drop, my account has shrunk greatly again!"

The stock price stagnated at the lower limit for several minutes. Luo Xingjuan was extremely frustrated and wanted to close the market, but then, two consecutive big buy orders suddenly pushed the stock price up!

"Great! The dealer has taken action!"

Luo Xingjuan was both happy and felt that the banker's trading was strange: "The banker seems inexperienced. If he had experience, he would have stayed at the lower limit and saved a lot of money."

She was right, that was the truth.

Lu Cheng saw that the stock price had dropped to the limit and his account had shrunk a lot, so he directly set a relatively high price to bring the stock price back to the original point.

But on this day, the pressure from the outside was too great.

When the market was about to close in the morning, Lu Cheng’s second 100,000-lot buy order was broken again!

He looked at his bank account and saw that there was still 200 million yuan left, so he directly placed an order for 400,000 lots, and the price limit was still 3.6 yuan.

"No matter what, that's all! There's no money left if it falls further."

Lu Cheng logged out of his account and stopped paying attention to stock price changes.

In the following days, the market fell another 3%, but Daqin Technology held on to 3.6 yuan.

As of December 31, the last day of 2028, Lu Cheng spent 800 million yuan to buy 224 million shares. The average stock price was 3.57, and the shareholding ratio reached 2.13% of the total share capital.

Subsequently, the ship collision incident calmed down through diplomatic mediation, and Daqin Technology's stock price rebounded slightly with the market, rising to around 3.7 yuan.

There is a three-day holiday on New Year's Day.

Jiang Qiuyun said she wanted to go to Qufu to see the Forest of Steles at the Confucius Temple.

So, Lu Cheng drove for more than two hours to Qufu. He first visited the Confucius Mansion and then the Confucius Temple, focusing on the Confucius Temple.

The Forest of Steles in the Confucius Temple is one of the four largest forests of steles in China, with more than 2,000 steles from all generations. The inscriptions in the temple date back to the Han Dynasty and the Republic of China. They are made of real cursive and seal scripts, and each calligraphy is available. The giant ones are more than ten feet long, and the small ones are less than a foot. Most of the inscriptions are records of worshiping Confucius and building temples. In addition to Chinese characters, there are also Manchu Wen and Phasiba Wen.

There are 17 famous steles from the Han Dynasty, ranking first in the country in terms of the number of Han steles in existence. Steles inscribed in the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties include the Huangchu Stele, the Jia Shijun Stele, the Zhang Menglong Stele, the Li Zhongxuan Stele, and the Confucius Temple Stele. In the four corners of the square pavilion with yellow tiles on the west side of Confucius' former residence, there is a stele "Ode to the Well in the Former Residence" written by Emperor Qianlong, which is also an art treasure. There are also 584 stone inscriptions from Yuhong Tower embedded in the exhibition room, and there are more than 1,200 inscriptions from various dynasties elsewhere.

The forest of steles in the Confucius Temple records the names, place of birth and admission rankings of 51,624 Jinshi scholars in the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties over the past 600 years. The forest of steles in the Confucius Temple bears witness to the old imperial examination system.

Jiang Qiuyun came to see the stele, mainly to appreciate the calligraphy on the stele and absorb the charm of the calligraphy on the stele. Every time she looks at another stone tablet, her calligraphy level will be improved, and her level of Taoism will become deeper and deeper.

A few days ago, Lu Cheng taught her the first thirty-six moves of the "Great Witch God Fist".

After a period of practice, the heavenly orifice on the top of her head opened a few more points, and she had a deeper sense of the changes in qi movement. She felt that the words on those huge stone tablets, the inscriptions left by the predecessors, had come to life after being exposed to wind, rain, sun and moonlight, as if they were faces smiling at her.

In Lu Cheng's eyes, the Qi movement he saw was even more vivid. Vast streams of energy emerged from the top of the stone tablet, and the energy penetrated the rainbow and went straight up to the sky!

Especially the 198 stone tablets engraved with the names and birthplaces of 51,624 Jinshi, are filled with vast energy and emit dazzling golden light!

Lu Cheng saw that next to each surname, there was a golden light spot the size of a button. This kind of light spot was invisible to the naked eye of ordinary people and could only be seen through the aura technique. These light spots emit golden energy, which together make the stone tablet sparkle.

He took a closer look and found that there seemed to be a head hidden in each spot of light, as if there were many eyes staring at him.

Lu Cheng was suddenly startled: "These are the heroic souls of Chinese sages! Somehow, these heroic souls have not completely dispersed. They have obtained the Scroll of Heaven and are still here to witness historical changes and the current prosperous age. This large-scale The forest of steles has always been erected here. It is not a simple sacrifice to Confucius, but a portrayal of the Chinese nation's literati for two thousand years! These literati are equivalent to the great shamans in ancient times..."

He didn't dare to look any further and walked far away to look at the inscriptions from the Han Dynasty and the Wei and Jin Dynasties.

After watching for a while, he felt a little dizzy again.

Because the heavenly aperture above his head was completely open, the two seeds in the marrow sea were like magnets, constantly absorbing the vast energy from the outside world.

He walked to Jiang Qiuyun and said, "I need to sit quietly for a while. If I faint, please don't make any noise."

Jiang Qiuyun asked in surprise: "Why did you faint again? Don't scare me."

Lu Cheng said: "This is a rare opportunity, don't miss it."

"What should I do?"

"While looking at the stone monument, practice the Qi Nourishing Technique!"

Then, he sat next to the big turtle holding the stone tablet and performed "Tengu Devours the Sun and Moon".

Jiang Qiuyun stood and looked at the inscription, while practicing the "Qi Nourishing Technique", breathing in and out, imagining swallowing the vivid inscription into her belly.

After a while, Lu Cheng tilted his body, and with a "winter" sound, his head hit the stone tablet again!

Jiang Qiuyun went over to check and found that he had fainted again!

"Oh, what's going on with this enemy? He looks so healthy, but why does he faint so easily?"

This is a tourist area, with people coming and going. It’s so ugly lying on the ground! If someone takes a picture, that's a problem.

Jiang Qiuyun picked up Lu Cheng and walked to the corridor not far away to sit down. She leaned against the pillar and supported Lu Cheng with one hand, letting him lean against her.

"First Evolution"

In this way, it seems normal.

When the young couple got tired from walking, they cuddled each other and sat down to rest.

Jiang Qiuyun looked up to the heights, her eyes fell on the stone tablet a few feet away, and she continued to activate the "Qi Nourishing Technique".

She felt warm all over her body, as if a big hand was massaging her whole body. From her skin to her internal organs, no part of her body felt uncomfortable.

She had a smile on her face, as holy as the Virgin Mary.

I don’t know how long it took.

Suddenly I heard a "kacha" sound!

When I turned around, I saw a middle-aged man wearing a windbreaker and a top hat, taking photos with a professional camera! After taking the photo, the man did not leave in a hurry, but stood there and continued to check the images in the camera. He had a smile on his face and seemed very pleased with the photo.

He came over and wanted to speak to Jiang Qiuyun, but he saw Jiang Qiuyun raising an index finger to her mouth.

So, the middle-aged man took a few steps back, walked to the other side of the corridor and sat down, looking back from time to time. After another ten minutes, he couldn't sit still anymore and came over and handed Jiang Qiuyun a business card.

Jiang Qiuyun received the business card, nodded, but still did not speak.

The middle-aged man bowed slightly, turned and left.

Jiang Qiuyun looked at the business card, which read "Winner of the 2026 China Photography Awards, Director of the Shandong Photographers Association, Zhuo Daming, phone number... address..."

She knew in her heart: "This is a professional photographer, not a paparazzi. If it were a paparazzi, they would have run away long ago after taking the photos."

After another half hour, Lu Cheng opened his eyes and was instantly resurrected with full blood. He sat up straight and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

Jiang Qiuyun asked: "Is there anything gained?"

Lu Cheng said: "The harvest is great!"

The vast qi energy entering his body not only caused the seedlings evolved from the two seeds to grow several inches taller, but also greatly improved the qi energy of the liver, heart, spleen, lungs and kidneys, which was no less than what he had practiced at home for half a year.

Jiang Qiuyun handed him the business card and said, "Someone just took a picture of you sleeping soundly. What do you think you should do with it?"

Lu Cheng looked at it and took out his cell phone to make a call.

"Hello, Mr. Zhuo?"

"who are you?"

"My surname is Lu, and you just took a picture of me."

"Oh, there are two people in the photo. Are you one of them? The focus of my photo is the girl. Her expression deeply moved me. This is a beautiful photo. I want to send it to the exhibition. .”

"You send me the photos first, and I will discuss it with my girlfriend."

"Okay, Mr. Lu."

After a while, the photo was sent.

Lu Cheng opened it and took a look, and couldn't help but his eyes lit up: "Not bad! Although I closed my eyes, I was smiling and seemed to be enjoying it; your expression is excellent, more beautiful than the Mona Lisa. This photo needs to be printed Come out and hang it at home!"

Jiang Qiuyun looked at it and smiled sweetly: "It's really good."

Lu Cheng said: "In that case, let the other party send it to the exhibition. It is not easy for photographers. I don't know how much hardship I have endured and how many places I have traveled. Not only do I need a pair of discerning eyes, but I also need nimble legs and feet, as well as quick eyesight and quick hands to capture the beautiful scenery." moment."

Jiang Qiuyun nodded.

After a while, Zhuo Daming called: "Mr. Lu, can I get your authorization to take photos to participate in the Golden Globe Awards?"

Lu Cheng said: "You can take photos for the competition, but you can't use them for other purposes. You can't send periodicals and newspapers, and you can't make advertising profits. If you win an award in the future and you want to sell the photos, Miss Jiang and I have the right of first refusal."

"Can you please send me an electronic authorization form?"

"Is there a template?"

"Yes, send it over here."

Lu Cheng received the authorization letter, modified it slightly, added his own requirements, and then signed it and sent it back.

When Zhuo Daming reached middle age, apart from caring about daily necessities, his only interest was photography. He didn't read much TV or newspapers, so he didn't know that Lu Cheng was an Olympic champion, nor did he know that Jiang Qiuyun was a famous Internet expert.

He has a 16-year-old daughter named "Zhuo Ying". When she came back from school and saw the photo her father printed out, she immediately exclaimed: "Dad, I want this photo! Can you give me the photo?"

Zhuo Daming frowned: "You are still young, why do you like this kind of photos of men and women in love?"

"Dad, you don't know these two people? They are famous. They are both my idols! The man is Lu Cheng, who has won 7 Olympic gold medals; the woman is Yao Ji, who has written several novels and books. I’ve watched them all, but unfortunately I don’t have the money to subscribe, so I can only watch pirated versions.”

Hearing this, Zhuo Daming quickly searched online and realized that the scene he accidentally captured was actually from two celebrities!

"No wonder there are so many requirements attached to a simple authorization letter. If I were a paparazzi and sent the photos to entertainment newspapers, I could write a long report!"

"Dad, where did you take the photo?"

"Forest of Steles in the Confucius Temple. What I focus on is the girl. Look at the expression on her face. She smiles naturally and gracefully. Her face is as bright as spring flowers and as bright as the autumn moon. Her eyes are full of ripples. The love is strong; she holds her boyfriend's wrist, the people beside her are like the moon, and the bright wrist is covered with frost and snow..."

"Dad, you are so old, why do you act like a nympho? My mother doesn't look like this either!"

"Ahem, I am a photographer who specializes in capturing beautiful moments in the world. Don't you think there is a special aura on this girl's face? It's like the holy light above the head of Guanyin Bodhisattva?"

"I only saw the jade bracelet on her wrist! How much does it cost to buy such a crystal green bracelet?"

"This... is not cheap anyway, our family can't afford it!"

"Dad, this photo belongs to me! Just print it out."

"What do you want a picture for?"

"Put it on the bedside and look at it every day to make you feel comfortable!"

"You can't fall in love prematurely!"

"Hmph! Dad, you take care of too much!"

Lu Cheng and Jiang Qiuyun stayed in a hotel in Qufu for two nights, lingering in the Forest of Steles to observe the time, and then drove back to Quancheng on the afternoon of the third day.
