The body of the instrument swallowed up the Yuan Qi on the bamboo slips little by little to replenish itself. As the body of the vessel was repaired, the Yuan Qi on the bamboo slips became less and less, and eventually disappeared completely.
The bamboo slips were finally unfolded, and Gu Bei also saw the content on it, but the result was that... he couldn't understand it.
What's so weird, he forgot that he couldn't read ancient texts at all. The last time I was able to translate Laozi's autobiography so smoothly, it was thanks to the presence of Nono.
It seems that there is no way to understand what is written on it for the time being.
Gu Bei put the bamboo slips into his arms with some boredom, preparing to have them translated by professionals who knew everywhere.
After doing all this, Gu Bei turned around and started studying the wooden box used to hold the bamboo slips.
It is said to be a wooden box, but the material is actually not wood.
It just looked like wood. As soon as Gu Bei touched it, he knew that it was not wood, stone or metal, but some unknown material.
A poem suddenly popped into Gu Bei's mind: Neither copper, nor iron, nor steel, I was in... I'm sorry to show up.
The material of this wooden box is definitely not as good as that of the Zhuxian Sword, but its properties are similar, and they all have a feeling that cannot be defined.
Gu Bei's imagination was wide open: This kind of material cannot be defined, and Cthulhu cannot be defined either, so this material can be called Cthulhu material.
Of course, it doesn’t matter what the material is, what matters is its effect.
This material can isolate Yuan Qi and prevent Yuan Qi from leaking without special processing.
What can this property be used for?
There are so many uses.
It is used to build a secret room, and the Naqi array is arranged in the secret room. This is a good training room.
Or it can be used to preserve certain magical artifacts and treasures to prevent the loss of Yuan Qi.
Or maybe it could be made into a sword to kill the immortal... Well, this is a bit unlikely.
In fact, it is not completely impossible. This kind of material cannot be defended by alien magic at all. It can be made into a smaller weapon. After being inserted into the body, it can seal the veins and veins, and it is difficult to remove. It is very targeted at aliens.
This kind of thing must be held in hand to feel at ease.
Gu Bei thought for a while and was about to take out his mobile phone to call Sister Hua to arrange everything.
It was only when he took out his phone that he realized he was on a plane.
Well, airplanes in this era didn’t have LAN and couldn’t make phone calls.
Gu Bei put his phone away angrily and waited for the landing.
The stewardess who was sitting at the cabin door and had been secretly observing him finally breathed a sigh of relief: Fortunately, he didn't take out anything weird again.
——
New Year's Eve is the night of the last day of the year.
The last one at the end of the year is called "Sui Chu", which means that the old year is hereby eliminated and replaced by a new one.
This day marks the arrival of the New Year.
As soon as Gu Bei landed, he felt a strong festive atmosphere.
The heavy snow that has lasted for several days has not completely melted. White snow can be seen everywhere. People step on the snow to decorate with lights, put up window grilles and couplets, and wear festive clothes. Even the cold weather cannot extinguish it. People's enthusiasm.
The Nian of this era is different from that of later generations. The flavor of the Nian is still very strong, and there are no regulations prohibiting the setting off of fireworks and firecrackers. Both adults and children can enjoy themselves and wash away the worries accumulated over the year with the joy of the festival.
Gu Bei took a taxi back to Peacock Mansion and called Sister Hua on the way to arrange the matter.
"Yes, yes, I heard that this thing was bought from the descendants of Confucius. You can go there to investigate... What? You have already investigated the Confucius family... That's right, Confucius was mentioned in Laozi's autobiography, It's not too troublesome for you to check it out. If you find anything...oh, nothing, okay, let's leave it like that for now. The most important thing now is to pry the mouths of those bounty hunters. Yes, there are some translation bamboo slips... No problem, you can arrange these."
He was talking on the phone in the back seat as if no one else was around, completely absent.
The driver in front had a strange expression.
The dedicated driver who returned to work during the Chinese New Year thought again and again and finally gave up the idea of driving the car directly to a mental hospital.
Considering that Gu Bei's destination was Peacock Mansion, the driver could only sigh: Rich people are all sick. It turns out this sentence is true.
Considering the safety of a lunatic in the car, the driver opened the accelerator to the maximum speed limit in the city and ran to the Peacock Mansion as quickly as possible.
Gu Bei had no idea what the driver was thinking about him. He only knew that the driver was very skilled and could run fast. A drive of more than an hour was reduced to half an hour.
He happily gave the driver a tip.
The driver's eyes looked even weirder: This guest's mind was indeed not normal.
The driver put the gear into gear, hit the accelerator, and ejected to start. After a smooth operation, the driver quickly left the Peacock Mansion. Gu Bei was still watching the taxi leave and sighed: "Good skills, what a pity, I should go run Qiu Mingshan." of."
After saying that, he turned around, brushed his face, and entered the Peacock Villa area.
"I'm back!"
Gu Bei pushed open the door of the villa and saw a lively scene. Servants were walking around to decorate the living room. Red curtains were hung on the walls and lanterns were hung on the four corners of the ceiling.
Su Xiaoyan stood in the living room directing the activities of the servants. While giving very unprofessional instructions, she turned back to discuss with her group of equally unprofessional girlfriends how to achieve better results.
Standing next to her was Eli Yi with a curious look on her face. When she heard Gu Bei's voice, the little girl's eyes lit up and she quickly turned to look at the door. After confirming that it was Gu Bei, she rushed over quickly.
Gu Bei opened his arms to catch the little girl, and heard the little girl whispering softly in his ear: "Welcome back!"
Gu Bei sniffed the girl's hair and patted her back: "I'm back."
He said, looking up at the scene in the living room.
Lu Tianming, who had not appeared for a long time, was wearing loose and comfortable casual clothes and sitting on the sofa in the center of the living room, holding a cup of coffee in his hand and looking at him and Eri Yi hugging each other with interest.
This middle-aged man does not have dragon blood, but his appearance is indeed matched with Su Xiaoyan - or Su Xiaoyan's essence is standard facial control, whether she is with Chu Tianjiao or Lu Tianming, there is a part of it. reasons for this.
If Lu Tianming is not good-looking, then Su Xiaoyan will probably find other good-looking rich people.
The two men sitting next to Lu Tianming are the husbands of Su Xiaoyan's best friend group, and Gu Bei also knows them. After all, these two are also financial giants in this city, the kind who frequently appear on TV. Gu Bei remembers One of them is Mr. Shao of the Black Prince Group, who has business cooperation with Lu Tianming.
There were some people of the same age in the room. Gu Bei knew that they all came with their parents, but Gu Bei didn't know them. The only one who looked familiar was probably the second generation ancestor who was famous throughout Huicheng: Shao Yifeng.
Gu Bei doesn't remember any of the others.
Well, Gu Bei remembered that Shao Yifeng was violently beaten by Gu Bei because this guy was pretending to be cool. Afterwards, he called a car of breadmen to surround Gu Bei, and then Gu Bei beat him violently a second time, and then this guy surrendered. Now, I accept Gu Bei as my eldest brother.
Speaking of which, the cooperation between Lu Tianming and Mr. Shao was not only due to the fact that their wives were best friends, but also partly due to the matchmaking between Gu Bei and Shao Yifeng.
As for the others... Gu Bei's face didn't even look familiar.
After all, Gu Bei's friendship with these people was not very deep to begin with.
Lu Tianming's friends all know that the two children of the Lu family, Chu Zihang and Gu Bei, have completely opposite personalities.
Chu Zihang has a cold face and a warm heart. Although he looks difficult to get in touch with, it is actually not difficult to get in touch with him. Gu Bei has a warm face and a cold heart. On the surface, he likes to laugh and laugh with others, but except for those who are particularly close, he will maintain his integrity no matter who he gets along with. distance.
Although they have different personalities, the two children are both one-in-a-million talents. They were both recommended to foreign universities and received full scholarships in the first semester.
When friends discuss the topic of children, they always
It was indispensable to say a few words sourly, which made Lu Tianming laugh.
Although these two were not his biological sons, he had always treated Gu Bei and Chu Zihang as his biological sons, and Gu Bei and Chu Zihang were not alienated from him.
"Okay, everyone is watching." Gu Bei said softly to Eriki.
Eliyi looked embarrassed and jumped off Gu Bei like a little rabbit, but she didn't want to get too far away, so she hid behind Gu Bei and secretly looked at everyone in the living room.
"Xiao Bei is back, hurry up and sit down and eat some fruit." Lu Tianming smiled as if he didn't see anything, "Aunt Tong, help Xiao Bei carry the luggage up."
Lu Tianming actually doesn't like to laugh very much. Like Chu Zihang, he is the kind of extremely calm and rational guy who can analyze the pros and cons of something rationally.
But not liking to laugh doesn't mean you can't laugh. The biggest difference between Lu Tianming and Chu Zihang is that Chu Zihang's smile must come from the heart, while Lu Tianming doesn't need any conditions.
Although the smile is a bit fake.
However, when facing some specific things, he can also laugh from the bottom of his heart, such as...
When I saw Su Xiaoyan.
Well, this CEO is a love brain.
Gu Bei smacked his lips and did not hand the suitcase to Aunt Tong. After all, there was nothing in his suitcase. He was just holding it to show off: "No, Aunt Tong, I'll just put it away myself. You'd better give it to Sister Xiaoyan." Please help over there."
Su Xiaoyan's place was almost in chaos. Su Xiaoyan, who had always felt that the servants couldn't handle it, simply took matters into her own hands. Then she was entangled in red ribbons and turned into a pupa, and several of her best friends were also entangled. , the servants were busy untying the belts of the hostesses.
Lu Tianming couldn't help laughing, and Mr. Shao and the others couldn't help laughing.
Aunt Tong quickly ran back and untied the ladies.
Gu Bei smacked his lips and sighed: "Aunt Tong's position as the general manager is not easy to get into."
Eriki blinked behind him: "?"
Gu Bei shook his head: "It's nothing. Eriyi, you play downstairs first, and I'll go up and put down the luggage."
Eliyi nodded and ran to Su Xiaoyan to help Aunt Tong.
Gu Bei greeted everyone in the living room and went upstairs.
It's not that he doesn't want to see guests, it's just that he still has things to do.
After going upstairs, Gu Bei put the suitcase aside and locked the door. After making sure that no one could come in, he sat down, held his breath and circulated Yuan Qi.
Layers of light shone on his body, and runes appeared on his body.
There are many cracks in these runes, but as Gu Bei adjusts his breath, these cracks are slowly healing and changing.
It turned into something that Gu Bei didn't know.
The body of the weapon is evolving, heading towards a realm that Gu Bei doesn't know about.
In the battle with Wu Nifujin, Gu Bei's Tongtianlu and Shenji Bailian broke through at the same time, followed by the shattering of the body.
In fact, it was not broken, but some stronger force broke through the shackles of the body's runes, guiding the body to start evolving.
Gu Bei has also been paying attention to the evolution of the weapon body. Until today, after absorbing the two colors of Yuan Qi on the bamboo slips, the evolution of the weapon body has finally entered the final stage.
All it takes is a final kick, a final kick...
Gu Bei's breath was slow and long, and time passed minute by minute.
It wasn't until it was getting late and there was a knock on the door that Gu Bei stopped to exercise.
Just the last bit left.
"Who?" Gu Bei asked.
"It's me." The voice was cold and calm.
"Senior brother?" Gu Bei ran to open the door, "Didn't you have a flight in the afternoon? Why are you back so soon?"
Outside the door, Chu Zihang had a black line on his face: "It's already night now."
Gu Bei ran to the window and opened the curtains to take a look.
Sure enough, God has
Already dark.
Practicing practice is indeed the best way to kill time.
"Mom asked me to ask you to go down for dinner." Chu Zihang said.
"Okay." Gu Bei nodded, "I'll change my clothes."
He was still wearing the "work clothes" he wore when he beat someone up last night. This clothes was not suitable for a New Year's Eve dinner and was unlucky.
Gu Bei changed into a hoodie, washed his face and sobered up before going downstairs.
All the guests had left, leaving only the Lu family.
Originally, guests were rare during the holidays, so paying New Year greetings in advance was considered as a gathering. After all, these bosses really couldn’t find time to come at any time.
Lu Tianming will only stay at home for two days at most after the new year before going back to work.
Gu Bei felt how difficult it was for social animals.
Even the old director is no exception when it comes to working overtime.
Seeing Gu Bei coming down, Lu Tianming waved: "Come quickly, the party is about to begin."
The Spring Festival Gala is still a must-see program during the Chinese New Year in this era. Although the Lu family is very rich, they are also very down-to-earth. They never go to any cocktail parties during the Chinese New Year and only like to watch the party at home.
At the dinner table, the family is having fun. .
Chu Zihang and Xia Mi were sitting together chatting with each other, Lu Tianming and Su Xiaoyan were sweeter than the two of them, Gu Bei and Eli Yi... they looked more like father and daughter than lovers.
Lu Tianming would occasionally ask about Gu Bei and Chu Zihang's studies, and Su Xiaoyan would also praise Xia Mi for being cute, and then rub Eri Yi's soft little hands, looking like a bitch.
That is to say, she is good-looking, otherwise she would be a complete bitch.
After the meal, the family sat together and watched the party.
This is a novel experience for both Gu Bei Liyi and Xia Mi.
Gu Bei has been an orphan his whole life, so naturally he has no family to accompany him to do such things.
Eri is Japanese, and they always go to shrines to worship during the Chinese New Year. However, because of her special circumstances, Eri has not been to shrines too far away, and has only been to the shrine of the Snake Qihachi family.
Xia Mi...this guy goes to the Spring Festival Gala every year, but she can only huddle in her deserted small rental house alone, and Fenrir can't accompany her.
Each of the three people had their own reasons, but Xia Mi was the worst.
Her hand grasped Chu Zihang tightly, and their fingers were interlocked.
"I want it too! I want it too!" Eryi hugged Gu Bei's arm and acted coquettishly.
Su Xiaoyan and Lu Tianming looked at each other, love brewing in them.
Accompanied by the host’s countdown on TV:
"5, 4, 3, 2, 1!"
"boom!"
Sparks bloomed all over the window, and colorful lights illuminated the entire sky.
Gu Bei grabbed Eri Yi's hand, his mind churning.
At the same time, a long-lost system prompt popped up in front of his eyes.
"Your skills "Tongtian Lu" and "Divine Machine Hundred Refinements" have reached an exceptional level. "
