After Lu Cheng woke up, he habitually picked up his phone and looked at it. It was 0:01 on August 19th.
Looking at the news, there is good news: the crisis in several reservoirs in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River and Yellow River has been resolved. Although he didn't know the specific reason, Lu Cheng could imagine that it was the 200 water-absorbing jade talismans that had the effect.
Although the capacity of a jade charm is only 30 million cubic meters, which is a drop in the bucket for the Three Gorges Reservoir (39.3 billion cubic meters), if 20 jade charms are used at one time, 600 million cubic meters can be removed. This figure Not to be underestimated.
Moreover, in an emergency, you can also dump the water in a low-lying area and go back to fill it a second or third time.
Lu Cheng looked at his email inbox. There were two emails in it. One was from Jiang Hao, the manager of Wulian Lingmai Development Company. The main message was that this year's spiritual vein harvest was good and expected to reach 50 tons.
50 tons is already very impressive. The current selling price is 12,000 per catty. 50 tons is tens of billions. Without land and labor, it can produce six to seven billion.
However, the shares of this Lingmai company were divided into three, with Professor Zhu Qing accounting for one-third and Lu Cheng accounting for one-third. After the birth, one-third was held by Huang Yingyi on behalf of her daughter.
As an academician of the Academy of Sciences, Huang Yingyi did not want to have a huge amount of property in her name, so she returned the shares to Jiang Qiuyun. As a result, Lu Cheng and his wife hold 66.6% of the shares, and they will receive at least 3 billion in dividends this year.
The second letter was sent by Chen Ming, manager of the Mugwort Development Company, saying that this year's mugwort production is 3,000 tons, which can make a lot of moxa sticks, and the revenue is expected to exceed 1 billion yuan. At present, the national output of mugwort leaves is about 100,000 tons, and the total demand is 300,000 tons. The new mugwort leaf has remarkable effects and the price is three times that of ordinary mugwort leaves.
Lu Cheng smiled slightly and thought to himself: "A single spark can start a prairie fire. I didn't expect Chen Ming to accomplish this."
Later, he sent an email to Hong Qi, the CEO of Kunlun Jue, requesting the other party to hold several duels between traditional martial arts and fighting masters from January to March next year. The fighting masters will invite the top contenders from this year's Kunlun Show to compete; traditional martial arts will invite representatives from various disciplines, including Xingyiquan, Tai Chi, Bajiquan, Wing Chun, Nanquan, etc. Only one person will be selected for each type of boxing. Among them, there is already a Tai Chi player, and that is Guan Sangyue.
In the morning, Jiang Qiuyun said that she wanted to go back to Daicheng to live for a while. She had not seen her mother for several days.
So Lu Cheng packed his luggage, put his precious items into the storage jade pendant, and drove on the road.
First, I went to my mother-in-law's house. Huang Yingyi was not there, and only Jiang Fangcheng stayed at home.
Jiang Qiuyun said: "Dad, isn't today Saturday? Why is my mother going out again?"
Jiang Fangcheng smiled and said: "She is a workaholic. She leads twenty or thirty graduate students and spends 12 hours a day in the laboratory. How can she have time to stay at home?"
"My mother is in such good spirits? Can she handle the food well?"
"She is in good health! You brought back a pack of Lingmai last time and made porridge two or three times a week. After eating it, she felt very energetic and walked with wind."
"Dad, how are you feeling?"
"I'm pretty good too. Last time I went to Zhangjiajie with you, I climbed several mountains in one afternoon and made those old friends jealous to death."
When Jiang Qiuyun returned home this time, she was not going to tell her parents that she was pregnant. She asked Lu Cheng not to tell her when he returned home because it was still too early and it would not be too late to tell her after a few months.
Her body is normal now, but she is more sensitive to certain smells and has no vomiting or other symptoms.
She said to Lu Cheng: "You go back first. I want to stay at home for a few days and then go to your house."
So, Lu Cheng returned to the mountainside villa and met his mother Rao Yuqiu and his younger sister Lu Xinyuan. It was said that his father Lu Tianming had gone to excavate ancient tombs.
Lu Cheng asked his mother: "Where is the ancient tomb?"
Rao Yuqiu said: "Your dad said that it's very strange recently. There are many ancient tombs appearing all over the country. Some ancient tombs emit white smoke, and some ancient tombs emit black smoke. Now the country has regulations. No smoking tombs are allowed to be excavated, only normal tombs can be excavated."
Lu Cheng took a breath of air: "And there are ancient tombs emitting black smoke? This is not a good sign."
"Yeah, I get scared just thinking about it. I want your dad to retire early!"
"Mom, I think you should retire early."
"I'm still young."
"Retire and take my little sister out to play."
"Your little sister still has to go to school, how can she have time to go out and play?"
Lu Cheng followed his wife's instructions and didn't tell her about the pregnancy. He didn't want his mother to take care of the child because it was tiring work, and his younger sister also needed to be taken care of, so his mother couldn't live without Daicheng. When the time comes, just hire a high-end housekeeping nanny.

After a while, Lu Cheng went out and bought some high-strength liquor, added 5 grams of deer blood crystals, and turned it into deer blood wine.
He drank a cup himself and felt warm and rich in spiritual energy. It could greatly replenish vitality and nourish the body. There seemed to be no other disadvantages.
In the evening, my mother prepared the dishes and my father came back from outside.
Lu Cheng poured a cup for each of his parents and said, "This deer blood wine can prolong life, but you can't drink too much. You can only drink a small cup at a time."
Lu Tianming drank the deer blood wine and felt hot all over, so he praised "good wine"!
Lu Cheng asked: "Dad, my mother said that there are many ancient tombs appearing all over the country. Some ancient tombs emit light white smoke, while others emit black smoke. Is this true?"
Lu Tianming nodded: "It's true. Our Lu Province is fine. Most of the ancient tombs are white smoke. This is not the case in other provinces, such as Xiangxi, Beimang, Yinshan, and Yinxu. There are many ancient tombs with black smoke. .”
When Lu Cheng heard this, he couldn't help frowning and said, "I will give you a jade talisman later. You can wear it on your body to drive away evil spirits and prevent the Yin Qi from getting close to you."
"What? Do you think there is a ghost?"
"I don't know if it's a ghost, but the accumulation of yin energy can cause mental illness in people, and they may even cause self-mutilation and suicide."
Rao Yuqiu said: "Son, I saw the paper you and Huo Mingan wrote on Zhu Youshu. I heard that the Provincial Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture has cured many hysterical patients. Not to mention others, I have encountered them in my small clinic. Such patients."
Lu Cheng said: "Mom, I will give you two talismans later, and you can become an expert in exorcising ghosts."
Rao Yuqiu waved his hands quickly: "No, I don't want to have anything to do with ghosts! I have directed such patients to Quancheng."
After dinner, the younger sister Lu Xinyuan pestered her brother to play with her.
Lu Cheng thought for a while and taught her the "Water Valley Jue" and two moves of the "Great Witch God Fist".
"Water Valley Jue" can make the body stronger, and "Great Witch God Fist" can develop the brain and improve the level of intelligence.
Of course, this method cannot be learned at once. Lu Cheng only teaches the simplest content and will continue to strengthen it in the future.
The next morning, Lu Cheng went to his mother-in-law's house again and brought over several bottles of deer blood wine.
This time he did see Huang Yingyi.
Huang Yingyi smiled and said: "You have done a big thing this time, establishing the 'Daizong Scientific Research Foundation'. Although this foundation is affiliated with the Chinese Academy of Sciences, it is not an official organization, but equivalent to a private fund. Fund management is implemented People have a board of directors and a council. Do you want to take the title of chairman?"
Lu Cheng shook his head tightly: "I won't do it. You can handle these matters as you see fit."
Huang Yingyi looked at Jiang Qiuyun: "What about you? Are you interested?"
Jiang Qiuyun smiled and said, "Mom, I'm not a scientific researcher."
Huang Yingyi said: "There is no requirement that the chairman be a researcher. This fund was obtained by Lu Cheng. Although it is said to be a public welfare project, it is private funds and the ownership belongs to you two."
Lu Cheng said: "You are highly respected, so it is only natural that you serve as the chairman of the board."
After finally securing 10 billion funds and donating them to establish the Daizong Scientific Research Foundation, people should know that they have done good things. If both families are not named on the board of directors, it is equivalent to giving up all their rights. Although the foundation will eventually become publicly owned in a few years, it is reasonable for Huang Yingyi to hold the title of chairman during her lifetime. Otherwise, why would Lu Cheng be a villain and ask for these 10 billion funds from the country?
Lu Cheng is not a selfless person. He promised his mother-in-law to donate this fund. Although he wanted to contribute to the cause of science, he also wanted to clear his name. He became a rich man at a young age. The reason behind it is unclear because he rose too fast. And if it arouses envy, jealousy and hatred, donating an appropriate amount of money at this time will help establish a good image of oneself.
At least on the surface, his wealth is not even in the top ten of the rich list. If he can donate 10 billion at once, wouldn't it make those guys who have nothing to lose feel ashamed? Some people would rather donate money to American universities than to domestic universities, which is really unjustifiable.
Lu Cheng put the deer blood wine on the table and reminded his parents-in-law not to forget to drink it.
"This is a good thing. It is recorded in "Compendium of Materia Medica" that deer blood can greatly replenish deficiency and damage, replenish essence and blood, and detoxify acne poisons, medicinal poisons, etc. The Yellow Emperor of the Qing Dynasty specially raised sika deer. According to Xu Ke's "Qing Yu Lei Chao": When the British and French allied forces entered Beijing, Xianfeng suffered from severe coughing and ordered deer blood to be used as a supply. However, it was not available in a hurry and he died. In modern times, animal experiments and clinical studies have proven that deer blood can nourish the face, treat anemia, regulate immunity, and delay aging. Improves memory, fights fatigue and many other therapeutic and health-care effects.”
Huang Yingyi said: "The average life span of the Qing Dynasty emperors was 52 years. Even after drinking deer blood, they didn't live long."
Jiang Qiuyun smiled and said: "That's better than the Ming Dynasty. The average life span of the Ming Dynasty emperor was only 43 years old."
Lu Cheng thought to himself: "I am the blood of a demon deer that has lived for hundreds of years. The spiritual energy contained in it is not comparable to those of ordinary deer." He said: "If you two don't like drinking it, you can give it to grandpa and grandma. Drinking deer blood wine can help you live at least 10 more years."
Huang Yingyi praised "Okay". In any case, she was very satisfied with her son-in-law. The only pity is that this child is so nagging that he has deviated from dialectical materialism.
In the afternoon, Lu Cheng returned to the mountainside villa. It was rare that his father, Lu Tianming, did not go out.
Lu Cheng chatted with his father and asked, "Dad, you said earlier that there are some smoking ancient tombs in Lu Province. Where are they?"
Lu Tianming replied: "Mainly in the western region of Lu, which is the hometown of Chi You, the god of war. It is the place where he is buried, and it is also a battleground for ancient military strategists. Sun Bin, the famous military strategist in my country, was born in A (Donga) Juan (鄄City), Wu Qi was born in Caozhou, Li Ji was born in Dongming, Wang Xianzhi was born in Juancheng, and Huang Chao was born in Heze. The Battle of Guiling and Maling in Qi and Wei during the Warring States Period and the Peasant Uprising in Shuibo Liangshan in the Song Dynasty all took place here area."
After Lu Cheng heard this, he felt worried again and said, "It seems that after the spiritual energy is revived, monsters and demons appear."
Lu Tianming asked: "A Cheng, do you have any way to get rid of the white smoke and black smoke?"
Lu Cheng thought for a while and said: "It depends on the scale of the smoke. I can't do anything like the Wulian Tomb. If it's Chi You's Tomb, I can't do anything either. But for those unknown small tombs, maybe I can Give it a try.”
"A Cheng, have you been practicing? To what extent? Refining Qi? Or building foundation?"
Although Lu Tianming is almost 60 years old, he still enjoys it in his spare time. The rise of Xianxia began in 2003, when he was only thirty years old.
Lu Cheng replied: "Dad, the system of my cultivation is different from the traditional Xianxia, but it is similar in some ways. If you want to learn, I can teach you."
Lu Tianming practiced several styles of "Illustrated Stone Tombs" and realized the beauty of it. He smiled and said, "Okay, I'll learn from you."
Lu Cheng taught him the "Five Qi Returning to Origin Jue", which is a method for cultivating the five internal organs. It is an internal strength and mental method. The advantage is that it can prolong life and prevent all diseases. The disadvantage is that it has no offensive power.
According to Lu Cheng's thinking, his father was less likely to be in danger, so there was no need to learn those killing methods.
Not only his father Lu Tianming, but also his wife Jiang Qiuyun did not learn the methods of killing people. They only learned the light kung fu of Feixu Jue, the Great Witch God Fist and the Qinglong Sword, and mastered some self-defense methods. Like Lu Cheng, who has studied martial arts for ten years, There is a big difference if you come over a little heavier.
Although there is a difference, it does not hinder longevity, because there are inherent differences between witchcraft and martial arts. The lifespan of a great witch is longer than that of a samurai.
In the following days, Jiang Qiuyun also came to the Mid-level Villa and had several meals with her parents-in-law.
Then they went to Taohuayu.
Taohua Valley is a scenic spot with shady trees, clear streams and winding bridges, and a quiet environment. It is a good place for leisure and rest.
In the quiet Taohua Valley, no noisy human voices can be heard, only the sound of the gurgling stream and the melodious singing of birds. However, you can see abundant water, beautiful grass, luxuriant flowers and trees. Along the way, the valley is full of flowers and fruits, and the bamboo forest is lush.
Taohuayu has become a breeding ground for red-scaled fish due to its deep stream, clear pool, remoteness, unpolluted water quality, highest oxygen content, few minerals, and low hardness. Four different varieties of red-scaled fish, including gold, silver, iron, and grass, are here. Scale fish all live here.
The vegetation in the valley is luxuriant. In addition to peach trees, there are also Huashan pine, black pine, red pine, tamarisk, and Liaodong alder.
In autumn, daylilies, southern snake vines, five-pointed maples, and pineapple trees are like gorgeous brocades, decorating the mountain cliffs with colorful colors.
Jiang Qiuyun liked the tranquility here, so she settled down here.
She is still writing books, but at a slower pace, writing only three or four hours a day. At her peak, she could code 90,000 words per hour, but now she has slowed down to 60,000 words. Three hours is 180,000 words, so she writes 200,000 words every day and is successful.
There are many tourists in Taohuayu. Some people often stop in front of the villa where they live and pick up their mobile phones to take a few photos. Sometimes they can capture Jiang Qiuyun's beautiful figure.
