After bidding farewell to Liu Neng, we completely left the village at the foot of Changbai Mountain.
The car drove along.
When we arrived at Manjiang Town in Fusong County, we stopped again, settled our wages with the guides, and sent them home.
The actual money Wang Lei gave them in the end was more than half the amount negotiated before entering the mountain. The young guides were overjoyed, and the two calm rangers also expressed their gratitude.
Yuan Changhai chatted with them alone for a while before reluctantly getting in the car again.
"I'm sorry for wasting everyone's time. Alas, as this person gets older, he tends to be sad and reminisce about the past. I just recalled the days when I was young and lived in the woods with them, and I talked a lot."
Everyone naturally said it didn't matter.
Duan Chen was the only one who said carelessly while picking his nostrils.
"Actually, it mainly depends on your mentality. We have an old monster there who is scary old but still has the same mentality as a teenager. Old Yuan, you have to study. You feel old, but it's so easy to get old. !Uh huh..."
I covered this idiot's mouth.
"If you can't speak, just say less!"
Just kidding, can ordinary people compare with practitioners?
Moreover, he is the most orthodox Taoist practitioner like Qingcheng Mountain. When he reaches a certain level, his lifespan is even longer!
Yuan Changhai was not angry and nodded with a smile.
"Taoist Master Duan is right. This advice made me enlightened. From then on, I regarded myself as a young man."
Hahaha!
Everyone in the carriage laughed, and the air was filled with joy
…
That night, we arrived in Changchun.
Zhao Sier was waiting early at the gate of the five-star hotel we had booked to greet us.
"Brother Wu! Are you back? Everything went well. Did you find what you needed?"
He came over and shook my hand warmly.
I smiled and nodded.
"Found it! Thanks to the help of Brother Wang Lei, the others, and Lao Duan, everything went smoothly."
Wang Lei and others even said they didn't dare.
Zhao Si'er chuckled.
"Don't worry, Lao Wang, we have cooperated so many times. When the time comes for delivery, I will try to see if I can raise a little more than the price agreed in the contract, or help you get some other benefits."
Wang Lei looked happy and cupped his hands.
"Thank you so much, Fourth Master!"
As for Duan Chen, he raised his head with a proud expression on his face.
"Xiao Wu Wu, you still have some conscience. You know that I also put in a lot of effort!"
As a supernatural broker in the Northeast, Zhao Si'er naturally has a strong ability to observe people's emotions. He could naturally see that the people on the treasure hunting expedition were kind to me with some respect, while this young man whom he didn't know treated me on an equal footing and even gave me a nickname.
He immediately spoke cautiously.
"I haven't asked this guy yet..."
I think Zhao Si'er is a pretty good person, and he really arranged my trip in Northeast China very well.
He was the first to speak with a smile.
"Don't look at this guy as a bastard, and he speaks arrogantly. He does have the ability. His name is Duan Chen, he is the direct disciple of the current punishment elder in Qingcheng Mountain, and he is also a leader among the younger generation in Qingcheng Mountain."
What? !
Zhao Si'er was taken aback, and couldn't help but have a flattering expression in his eyes.
"Hello, Mr. Duan Xiaodao! It turns out that he is a member of a famous family. No wonder he has such a graceful appearance. Just standing there makes me feel extraordinary."
Wang Lei and others didn't know what kind of behemoth Qingcheng Mountain was and what kind of status it had. Zhao Si'er, the supernatural broker, is considered half an insider, so he knows it very well.
Duan Chen waved his hands and smiled.
"Okay, okay, Master Tao, I never put on airs. I'm following Xiao Wu Wu anyway, so you can entertain me as you entertain him. Give me a few bottles of good wine and let's all drink together."
"Okay! Maotai, Lafite, the best daughter's red... I've got them all for you. Not only are we entertaining Mr. Wu and Mr. Duan, but we are also celebrating the success of Lao Wang and Gangzi."
…
That night, several people were drunk!
Duan Chen, with his cultivation level, can easily cure hangovers by simply circulating his true energy through his meridians. But he seemed to enjoy the feeling of drinking and got drunk alone.
He was hooking up with Zhao Si'er, Wang Lei, Liu Gang, and Yuan Changhai who were also drunk, bragging about running on trains, and talking about some nasty things between men.
Hearing this, Feng Lingshuang had a look of disdain on her face. It is estimated that her image of a famous Taoist priest from a prestigious family was completely shattered.
Well……
But Duan Chen, a playboy, didn't seem to care at all.
After getting drunk, he even started sending charms!
"Come! Lao Zhao, I will give you two of the [Evil-Repelling Talismans] I personally drew, take them! This is a thank you for your hospitality."
"Well, Old Man Yuan, you want one too."
"Everyone has them. Lao Zhao is the dealer and he gets two. Each of you has one."
When Zhao Si'er sobers up, he will probably go crazy with joy.
I have to say that there is indeed a reason why Duan Chen can make so many friends - he doesn't have the "standing up" feeling of a disciple of a famous sect, and he can quickly get along with ordinary people.
And like the Xiang Fan I know, [Xing] from the Laoshan sect, although he is also a good person, it is impossible for him to drink, eat meat, brag and chat with ordinary people like Duan Chen...
Because I was very eager to resurrect Madoka, I declined Zhao Si'er's invitation to play for a few more days.
Early the next morning, I said goodbye to Wang Lei and his group, bought a plane ticket and flew back to Chongqing.
Duan Chen, of course, wants to go with me!
He spoke plausibly.
"Xiao Wu Wu, you were able to get these two worldly wonders, [Fire frozen in summer] and [Feathers turned into by strong wind] from [Frozen Mist Forest], I also have credit for it. The Jade Claw Royal Family re-hatched from bird eggs How can you miss something like resurrection?"
As soon as I thought it made sense, I agreed.
Originally, in my plan, I also found a few trustworthy friends to help me.
After I returned to Chongqing by plane, I went straight to the Xiuxing Company's office building and to Xu Xinyi's office.
I was originally worried that Duan Chen would be afraid of seeing the elders of the sect unwilling to come, but looking at the way he was whistling and shaking his head with his hands in his pockets, I guess he didn't even think about this!
But as soon as I took the elevator to the executive floor of the company, I saw the chubby Shen Rufeng walking towards me.
He was a little surprised to see me.
"Xiao Wu, are you back from Changbai Mountain? Have you found the rare items needed to hatch small round bird eggs?"
I nodded and smiled.
"Thank you, Old Shen, for your concern. We have found two rare objects! Thanks to Director Xu's help. Is he in the office?"
Shen Rufeng shook his head.
"No. Something happened over there in Leshan, and it was quite serious. He has rushed over in advance to deal with it. I am also preparing to leave now. Eh..."
His gaze suddenly passed me and fell on Duan Chen next to me.
"Isn't this the genius kid from Qingcheng Mountain? How did you two get together? How did you meet?"
