Lu Zheng originally thought that he would be very busy, and was still waiting for the peach blossom girl to ask for help.
result……
I have been waiting for more than a month, until it was time to celebrate the Chinese New Year in modern times, but no one called for help.
According to the news sent back by the Eighteen Heavenly Maidens, practitioners from various sects in Yizhou went around their respective jurisdictions because of this matter, and cooperated with the people sent by the Suppression and Yi Division to kill at least twenty ghosts that had appeared. remove.
It is estimated that there are still some shrewd ones hiding in the dark, or running to other state capitals, but they are scattered and unorganized, and cannot make a bigger noise. By then, there will be strangers from other state capitals. Take action.
The Black Wheel King said he wanted to turn Yizhou Mansion upside down, but in the end it was just a small splash.
"Poof", gone.
The only pity is that the origin of Black Wheel King's ghost has never been found.
According to Shen Ying, since there was such a big commotion, it is estimated that the ghost of the Black Wheel King has either escaped back to the Netherworld or has escaped from Yizhou.
Therefore, the plan to obtain the Light of Luck was not implemented, and Lu Zheng had no choice but to travel back to modern times to prepare to celebrate the New Year with Lin Wan.
only……
Lu Zheng had already booked a flight ticket and was planning to fly to Australia with Lin Wan. However, fate failed. Lin Wan, who was fine in daily life, was sent on a business trip and would not be able to come back for a short time.
So Lu Zheng went home with Ganoderma lucidum wine to spend time with his parents, and then went to Lin Wan's house in Lu Province and brought several bottles of health medicinal wine to Lin's mother.
On New Year's Eve, I had a video chat with Lin Wan. Lin Wan apologized to Lu Zheng with some embarrassment, saying that she would have a long vacation after returning to China, and she would travel with Lu Zheng then.
Lu Zheng agreed, and then asked Lin Wan to sign several alliances under the city because of his absence on New Year's Eve. Lin Wan could only accept it with a blushing face.
After hanging up the phone with satisfaction, Lu Zheng turned around and traveled back to ancient times, thinking whether he should smell the sachet or touch the wooden sign tonight.
…
Not even half a month has passed in the modern year, but it’s also the time to celebrate the new year here in ancient times.
I didn’t go back to Jizhou this year. I spent New Year’s Eve at Liu’s house. In the next few days, I visited Baiyunguan, Lushui River God’s Palace, and City God’s Temple.
Once the Lantern Festival is over, the new year is over.
…
"So, are you on a business trip or being transferred?" Lu Zheng asked.
Lin Wan also showed a hint of helplessness on the phone screen.
"It's a business trip. It's really a business trip. It's just that the investigation task this time is physical work. Although it is not difficult, it is extremely time-consuming."
"Okay, are you sure you don't want my help?"
"Don't worry, no need, I've seen the light here."
"As long as you know what's going on."
…
"Sir, can you have lunch at home?" Aunt Liu asked.
Lu Zheng waved his hand, "No, I'll go out for a walk. At noon..."
As soon as he finished speaking, a figure suddenly emerged from the ground of the small courtyard.
"Senior Song?" Lu Zheng exclaimed.
The person who came turned out to be the owner of the cave in the deep mountains of Northeast China, Song Kaichuan.
Since the other party taught me his technique and left the year before last, I have gone to the cave to collect stalactite essence more than a dozen times, but I have never seen a trace of him.
Lu Zheng was still thinking that the other party would leave for another thirty years, but he didn't expect that the other party would come directly to the door.
"Little friend." Song Kaichuan nodded.
Lu Zheng turned to Aunt Liu and said, "Let's have lunch at home."
Knowing that Lu Zheng was a stranger, although Song Kaichuan's appearance shocked Aunt Liu, she quickly calmed down, said hello to Song Kaichuan, and hurriedly went to the front yard to cook. .
"Senior Song, please!" Lu Zheng led Song Kaichuan to the front hall, bringing water and making tea.
Song Kaichuan picked up the tea cup and took a sip, nodded, and looked at Lu Zheng, "My little friend has made great progress in his practice in the past two years."
"Senior, I've overestimated my achievements." Lu Zheng said modestly.
"Can your chess skills improve?"
Lu Zheng blinked, "It's okay."
"Come on, let's talk for a while." Song Kaichuan put down his tea cup, his eyes burning.
"Uh... Okay, senior, please come over here." Lu Zheng stood up and took Song Kaichuan to the study room. They arranged the chessboard and chess pieces and took their seats.
As a junior, Lu Zheng takes the lead in the white field and settles down in the sky.
Back and forth, after more than a dozen moves, both of them slowed down.
"My little friend's method of breaking the game that day was really unconventional and mysterious. I went to southern Xinjiang to win the old pine tree. My little friend worked very hard."
Song Kaichuan took a bag of pine nuts with his backhand and put it aside. "These are the pine nuts I picked from him. They are very helpful for cultivation. You can take them as snacks."
Lu Zheng glanced sideways and found that each of these pine nuts was as big as a thumb, with shimmering light on the surface and a stream of fragrance coming out. They were of better quality than the pine cones given to him by the ancestor of Baiyun Temple last year.
"hiss--"
Lu Zheng took a breath and hurriedly refused, "No way, it's too expensive."
Song Kaichuan waved his hand, "It's okay. There aren't many other things about the old pine tree, but there are many pine nuts. It occupies such a large hilltop, and the inexhaustible spiritual energy every year is condensed into the pine nuts."
"Then you're welcome, junior."
Song Kaichuan nodded, and then saw Lu Zheng patting the gourd and collecting the pine nuts.
He raised his eyebrows, but he didn't expect that Lu Zheng actually had the magical weapon of Na Xumiyu Jiezi.
Song Kaichuan lost another piece and chatted casually, "I have to say that Old Songshu's chess skills are indeed better than mine. When playing chess with him, I always lose more than I win. One end game has trapped me for more than thirty years." Year, but my friend solved this game, which was also very helpful to me, and I feel that my chess skills have improved a lot."
"Senior, you're welcome. This is just a matter of senior's accumulated experience. What does it have to do with this junior?"
Song Kaichuan shook his head, "It's difficult. This step is not so easy to cross. The endgame laid by the old pine tree is to help me cross this step, but in the end I still need help from my friends."
However, after Song Kaichuan had been thinking about it for thirty years, he just missed the mark. Lu Zheng's help did not weaken Song Kaichuan's understanding too much.
Neither of them took the exam for a long time. Even when they were not sure, they just thought about it briefly and then made a decision.
When Aunt Liu called the door outside the hospital, Lu Zheng and Song Kaichuan had already finished playing a game.
Song Kaichuan was not only a chess fanatic, but also had extraordinary skills, so Lu Zheng was not polite and beat him three times.
"Okay! Good chess skills!" Song Kaichuan clapped his hands and smiled, very happy.
"Senior Song, the servants at home have prepared lunch, please!"
Song Kaichuan nodded, "I haven't eaten for a long time. Just do as the Romans do, so let's eat something."
Lu Zheng's unbeatable taste strategy finally failed. Song Kaichuan had no requirements at all for food. He only tasted every dish and got a "good" evaluation.
After lunch, he walked back to the living room again, and Song Kaichuan finally got to the point, "My chess skills are still improving, and I hope I can help my old friend. I wonder if my friend is free and can he go to southern Xinjiang?"
