Lu Jing filled up the trained shadow puppet with secret power and then dragged it back to Qinglong Mountain.
Watch it carry out the order of planting medicine in the medicine garden on the top of the mountain, walking from one end of the field to the other end of the field. During this period, it will show its lushness every once in a while.
So wherever Lu Jing looked, there was also lush greenery.
Lu Jing checked it, and while he was satisfied, he also thought that it would be better if this shadow puppet could water the medicinal field, apply fertilizer, and pick out some pests by the way.
This is truly one-click hosting.
It's a pity that this puppet has only just arrived in Lu Jing's hands not long ago. It's not impossible to do so many things at once, but it will take a long time.
Lu Jing had not lied to Chi before. Seeing that the trip to the secret realm was coming, he indeed did not have so much energy to focus on the shadow puppet.
Anyway, the shadow puppet is not easy to use, so he still has a flesh puppet that he can use.
At the worst possible outcome, I'll give Chen Hanqing a little more salary and let him apply water and fertilizer in his spare time.
…………
After testing the shadow puppet, Lu Jing also arranged the improved formation for gathering secret power according to what Qi Wenren wrote.
I don’t know if it’s because four or five letters in a row have all come to nothing, but Granny Tang, who had been anxiously looking for him before, seems to have given up on asking him to investigate the case again. She hasn’t sent any more letters to bombard him in the past two days.
Lu Jing was finally able to calm down and began to seriously consider whether to join Si Tianjian's secret team.
Needless to say, the danger of the secret realm is undeniable. Even in the youngest and gentlest secret realm, no one has ever truly reached its center before.
Guo Shouhuai's last expedition to the secret realm was accompanied by top experts from Si Tianjian. However, in the end, not only were there still casualties, but Guo Shouhuai, the young prisoner, also paid the price with an arm.
The result is just close to the center.
Even with the so-called map in hand now... this will still not be an easy road.
But on the other hand, Lu Jing could indeed understand why Si Tianjian had to take this risk, because as Huang Jianyuan said, the current situation could not be maintained forever.
As long as the secret power continues to decrease, Si Tianjian's strength will also weaken accordingly. Facing the menacing monster, sooner or later there will be a day when he cannot stop it.
But besides opening a hole in the cage, there is actually another solution.
Lu Jing believed that the senior officials of Si Tianjian, headed by Guo Shaojian, Huang Jianyuan and others, must have thought of this method, but they all chose to turn a blind eye in a tacit understanding.
——That is to unite the strange objects under Mr. Ji to deal with the strange objects.
Although these strange objects are missing a soul and are more or less defective, compared to the ruthless monsters who only act according to the rules, they can at least communicate.
And the most important thing is that their abilities are similar to those of monsters and will not be affected by the decline of secret power.
So the question now is whether Si Tianjian will accept Mr. Ji and his disciples' behavior of refining living people into strange objects in order to fight against strange objects.
This is a bit like the famous trolley problem in Lu Jing's previous life.
Should a small number of innocent people be sacrificed to save the vast majority of people in the world?
Mr. Ji gave his answer, and Guo Shouhuai and his Si Tianjian obviously also gave their own answer, another answer.
As for who is right and who is wrong, I am afraid no one will know until the last moment.
Lu Jing was actually quite glad that the person who made the final decision was Guo Shouhuai and not him, so that he did not have to bear the heavy and almost suffocating pressure and responsibility and instead fell into some kind of philosophical thinking.
Now he only has to decide whether he wants to travel to the secret realm at his own expense.
Before Lu Jing could make a final decision, he saw a messenger landing on his wall again.
Lu Jing was startled because he recognized the messenger.
The jet-black feathers—this is Aoi’s messenger.
Speaking of which, Lu Jing hasn't seen Kui in a long time.
In fact, the two of them had met only a handful of times before, but for some reason, Lu Jing always had an unexplainable affection for the mysterious Inspector Aoi.
During the reunion dinner on New Year's Eve, Lu Jing specially invited Kui, but unfortunately Kui did not show up.
Although he was a little disappointed, Lu Jing was not too surprised.
Because Aoi had always felt like this to him, aloof and alone, like the moon reflected in the water, elusive and out of reach.
Lu Jing couldn't help but be curious as to why Kui took the initiative to contact him this time.
He grabbed a handful of corn from the kitchen and called the black nightingale to eat it.
But just like the master, there is also the kind of messenger. The dark nightingale just looked at the rice grains in Lu Jing's hand.
Instead of leaning down, he stretched out one leg to signal Lu Jing to read the letter quickly.
Seeing this, Lu Jing could only throw away the corn in his hand and untie the note tied to the nightingale's leg.
And as soon as he took off the branch, the black nightingale spread its wings and flew away.
Lu Jing then unfolded the note and found that there was only one location and time on it. In addition, Kui specifically told Lu Jing to be careful not to be stared at by others when he went out.
So mysterious?
Lu Jing didn't quite understand why Kui didn't come to him openly, but he looked at the address on the note and found that the place where Kui asked him to meet was very close, in the capital.
And the time is tonight.
Lu Jing practiced martial arts for a while and waited until the sun went down before starting to set off.
The location on the note was quickly found.
This is the residence of Cai Yong, the great minister of the dynasty.
Even if Lu Jing doesn't care much about politics, he can still see Cai Dazai's status in the court from this mansion. This is indeed a first-class mansion in the capital.
I just don’t know why Aoi arranged the meeting place here.
Lu Jing reported his name to the concierge at the door. The other party heard that he was Lu Jing, who was famous all over the world. His expression was very respectful, but he still expressed the need to go in and report.
After a while, the concierge trotted over and said respectfully, "Master, please come in, Sir Lu, to talk."
Lu Jing didn't think much and walked in, then followed a maid who led the way and walked for a while.
Seeing that he was going further and further away, Lu Jing finally couldn't help but asked, "This doesn't seem to be the way to the hall and study."
When the maid heard this, she kept walking and said, "We will know when Master Lu arrives."
So Lu Jing simply stopped asking and finally followed the maid to a small courtyard surrounded by peach trees.
The maid pointed to the door of the courtyard and said, "I can only go here. I would like to ask Master Lu to come in on his own." After saying that, the maid bowed and left.
Lu Jing waited for her to leave, pushed the door open, and walked in.
However, there was no Cai Dazai inside, only two little girls. Lu Jing actually knew one of them, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Xie Lili, why are you here?"
