Chapter 36 Something Happened

Cars honking their horns in the morning, crowded buses, office workers in a hurry, students jogging with school bags on their backs, these images are intertwined, and a new day of intense and busy life officially begins.

Before there was enough time, Wang Xuan found a small restaurant on the side of the road, served pancakes, a cup of sweet soy milk, and a bowl of salty tofu nao. He felt that the sweet and salty dispute between the north and the south could be over.

"Are you early?" He found that he was the first to arrive at the work unit, and the youthful Liu Xue who loved to dress up arrived ten minutes later, and the others appeared one after another half an hour later.

There was nothing to do in the morning, Wang Xuan sent and received several emails, briefly processed two drawings, and then began to study Daozang in a low-key manner.

Of course, he is also paying attention to that old colleague who likes to call people to fish when he has nothing to do-Chen Yongjie.

Sure enough, there was a problem, and Wang Xuan's heart skipped a beat.

All morning, my old colleague made several phone calls one after another, about fishing, it was stormy last night, but it was sunny this morning.

In his opinion, the old colleague is full of slang!

Regardless of fishing, he personally experienced it in Daxing'an Mountains. The storm last night must have been talking about the removal of the Gray Blood Organization. As for the sunny weather starting today, it should be saying that all forces are going to keep a low profile.

Then... Wang Xuan saw that everyone thought there was a problem!

For example, the guy in the black-rimmed glasses was talking to someone on the phone and said that he had spent a whole night in a big fight, and now he is still sleepy.

The two elder sisters who love to play mahjong are also talking in a low voice, saying that Feng Shui takes turns to sit, luck does not compete for a while, and the next time they sit in the village, they will have a decisive battle.

There was also a colleague who was a little sentimental and loved to write poetry when he had nothing to do. He came up with a song early in the morning: "I used the sky as a curtain and hung a string of fireworks. With a bang, they exploded so gorgeously that it amazed the world."

Wang Xuan was startled, who are these people? !

Could it be that they all went to participate in the operation last night, driving a battleship to kill a group of hostile spaceships?

Finally, Wang Xuan felt that something was wrong when he saw Liu Xue, the little girl next to her who was applying lipstick in front of the small mirror. She said that the color of this lipstick is not correct, she likes the sad and bright red, the blood color has a sad and sad charm, so that there is a kind of beauty that is peaceful and born.

Listen, everyone in the room was talking nonsense, Wang Xuan suddenly got a little dizzy, and he sat there calmly, forcing himself to meditate and study Daozang.

It was finally time for lunch. Colleagues were chatting and laughing, and they took Wang Xuan, a newcomer, to a newly opened restaurant outside the design institute to try something new.

Wang Xuan's food was tasteless, he was absent-minded, and wanted to ask them, but he was afraid that it would be too abrupt and direct.

After dinner, the old colleague was still more stable, and took the initiative to find Wang Xuan in private, but he almost turned his head and left because the old colleague asked him if he would go fishing.

Having had a dangerous experience in the Great Khingan Mountains, where he was almost locked in by the gray blood organization's space battleship, Wang Xuan never wanted to go into similar muddy waters again.

"Young man, you are still young, you still have blood, and you still have youth that can fill your eyes with tears. Cherish it."

Wang Xuan asked him with a wooden face, did he want him to be bait again?

"What are you thinking? I just invited you to go fishing in the machine factory behind the design institute that has been abandoned for several years. There is a small lake there. Now the reeds are overgrown, and the wild fish are fattening."

Wang Xuan looked at him suspiciously. Did the old colleague vaguely admit that he was the senior executive of the expedition organization?

"It's me." As if knowing what he was thinking, the old colleague admitted directly, and said, "Let's go, we just had lunch, we walked and chatted, and went fishing for a while." In the trunk of the red sun car, there are all kinds of fishing gear.

On the way, Wang Xuan couldn't help asking, what are the identities of those colleagues in the office?

The old colleague Chen Yongjie was in a daze at first, and then couldn't help it. He laughed out loud and said, "Where do you think you are? You really think that our pension office is Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and they are all abnormal human beings? They are just a bunch of people. Normal men and women who love to play games, play mahjong, recite sad poems, dress up and watch horror movies, the only ones who are abnormal are you and me."

Wang Xuan was speechless, he didn't come back to his senses for a long time, and finally said: "You are not normal, I am normal!"

Chen Yongjie glanced at him in surprise, and said, "Is it normal? I heard that you slapped a beautiful woman's face and killed five people in a row within a few days."

"This is rumor and slander. I have never killed anyone!" Wang Xuan hurriedly corrected him. He obeyed the law and only injured five people in self-defense.

"It's almost the same." The old colleague nodded.

Wang Xuan disagreed and wanted him to explain, so he wanted to ask him what his identity was and why he was working in such an inconspicuous place.

His old colleague took him to the edge of the lake in the abandoned machinery factory, spread out his fishing rod, and said, "I am Master Aoki, I run on both sides of the new star and the old soil, no matter where I am, I must have a leisurely job to cover it up." , don’t you like it here too?”

When Wang Xuan heard it, he immediately understood that Aoki had already prepared and guarded against it. When he had just graduated, he had brought him to his master's side.

Even if Wang Xuan did not choose to join the expedition organization at the beginning, with such an old colleague in front of him, he would probably be fooled into it sooner or later.

"You guys planned this!" Wang Xuan sighed, but what else could he say, the old colleagues have revealed their identities, showing their sincerity.

"Don't worry about it. Last time we made careful calculations and arrangements, the gray blood organization's spacecraft can't threaten you at all. If you dare to show your head, you will be knocked down. Forget it, let's not talk about it. I heard that you practice Golden Body Technique, I will give you a gift."

An old colleague handed over a book, which seemed to be a few years old, with a sense of staleness left by the years.

After receiving it, Wang Xuan opened it, carefully looked at it again and again, showing a look of surprise, all kinds of plants, minerals, and strange creatures were recorded in the book.

"Is this reliable?" He flipped through a few pages, and suddenly felt as if he had opened up a new world.

For example, the moonlight silver mentioned in the book is an extremely rare and special mineral. If you crack that kind of ore, a silvery liquid will flow out. You need to take it immediately, otherwise it will evaporate quickly and dissipate like bright moonlight.

If ordinary people can drink some, it can revitalize the flesh and blood, and it is most effective for those who practice the golden body technique and iron cloth shirt. It can be regarded as a great tonic and can accelerate the improvement of physical fitness.

There is also a certain kind of golden mushroom, ground into powder and cooked in soup, which can increase bone density, especially nourish the bone marrow, and make new blood more active, thus gradually improving the body's physical fitness.

The more Wang Xuan looked at it, the more he felt that it was outrageous. He had never heard of these things, and he felt that he could not find the real thing even if he checked the encyclopedia map.

For example, there is a certain kind of mountain snail mentioned later, which is born in the mountain rocks and is a rare mountain treasure. If it is caught, dried and ground, it can be taken for a penny a day for half a month, and it can prolong life for five years.

The more Wang Xuan looked at it, the more he didn't believe it. He looked through the Compendium of Materia Medica in his spare time, but he had never seen these weird things at all.

Old colleague Chen Yongjie said: "Don't believe me, these things are recorded in Taoist ancestral courts and Buddhist ancient temples. This book is just a summary, and some strange things mentioned in the pre-Qin bamboo slips are added."

Wang Xuan was stunned, and said: "But, after so many years, who has seen it? It has been extinct for many years."

"The old soil can't be seen now, but it doesn't mean there is no deep space." The old colleague smiled.

Wang Xuan keenly noticed that what he mentioned was deep space, not nova, and he felt the subtlety.

The old colleague vigorously lifted the fishing rod, and shook his head regretfully. The fish ran away and failed to catch. He continued: "In the past ten years, some people have obtained some of these strange things. Although the amount is not much, it has also caused quite a disturbance. , um, some people even discovered the ground fairy grass, but it's a pity that they couldn't pick it."

Wang Xuan flipped through the book quickly, and found the page of Earth Immortal Grass. The description of it is really fascinating. Taking one plant can prolong life by two hundred years.

"So, there are people on Xinxing who are going crazy. Two hundred years of life is equivalent to two new births for ordinary people. However, the old guy in the chaebol, the head of the life research institute, etc. are all going crazy. action."

Wang Xuan's mood was really ups and downs, but he quickly became vigilant again. This old man loves "fishing" the most, so he might not have a good idea now, right?

"It sounds like it's quite lively over there. Your old man gave me such a book, and then told me these things, to whet my appetite. What do you want to do? Tell me!"

"Young people nowadays have a lot of thoughts. It's not like our era, where they were all innocent and good boys. You, you think too much." The old colleague shook his head, then pulled the fishing rod suddenly, and finally caught a... soft-shelled turtle .

"Go, what's the mess, I'm fishing!" The old man took off the soft-shelled turtle and threw it away. In his words, it looked like it had just been released not long ago. It was half dead and not a tonic.

"The number of places to go to Xinxing is very tight, young people, you have to work hard." Just before returning, an old colleague said this.

However, ever since he finished hearing these things from him, Wang Xuan was a little wary of him, and murmured a little, even if he wanted to go to Xinxing, it would be better to bypass his old colleagues.

When he returned home at night, he practiced old techniques, pondered about feather stones, and also thought of the exotic flowers and plants and various minerals mentioned in the book.

"Study Taoism during the day and practice old techniques at night. This kind of life is not bad. I will consider going to Xinxing after a while. I will see if I can find feather fossils in the near future."

There is a thousand-year-old temple outside this city, and Wang Xuan is going to visit it soon.

Tomorrow Saturday, he plans to go home early in the morning to see his parents, the distance is not very far, he goes back almost once every two weeks.

"There is a mountain over my house. There seems to be some legends, and it seems to be related to some fairy girl." Wang Xuan's heart moved. Although he can't go to the thousand-year-old temple for the time being, he can go to the mountain when he returns home.

The plan couldn't keep up with the changes. On this night, Wang Xuan had a nightmare. He dreamed of a woman with white clothes and red shoes, long hair hanging loose, and two lines of blood on her beautiful face. She kept approaching him, almost touching his face. , woke him up.

He has been sleeping soundly since the practice, and has never had a nightmare again, but today is a bit weird.

Wang Xuan adjusted his breathing, let himself meditate, and soon fell asleep again. However, he woke up an hour later, feeling the wind blowing on his face, and dreamed again of the female sorcerer with two lines of blood and tears hanging on her face.

He realized that something was wrong, that he was in big trouble, and he had never believed it, but the reality was that he dreamed about the woman when he fell asleep.

"Looks like I won't be able to go home tomorrow." He didn't even know what was going on, he didn't want to go back hastily, he seemed to be contaminated with something bad.

This night, Wang Xuan fell asleep again and again, and woke up again and again, until dawn, he immediately contacted his old colleague Chen Yongjie, he felt that Aoki could not help.

"There is such a thing?" The old colleague was very serious, but he didn't believe it, because as a senior explorer, he had personally experienced some abnormal events, and he still couldn't explain them clearly.

"Don't worry, I'll get someone to send you a talisman paper later. It was drawn by an old Taoist priest who has lived for more than a hundred years. It is very useful."

The old colleague did what he said, and someone delivered it in the afternoon.

However, in the middle of the night, that disturbing and weird phenomenon reappeared, and the so-called Daoist talisman paper burned directly, almost igniting Wang Xuan's bedding and his hair, making him stare helplessly.

The situation got worse in the second half of the night. After finally falling asleep, he was awakened by a freezing cold, and felt that there was something in his arms, which was covered in long hair, and a pair of terrifying eyes were opened, staring at him!
