Chapter 642 New Era (Part 1)

At the end of August, the Geelong Disaster Relief and Reconstruction Committee was officially established.

The organization aims to coordinate all parties in the next long-term work, which is expected to take three years to completely rebuild the area.

The committee is mainly composed of three parties: the power of the Republic, the power of the Strait, and the enlightened wisdom.

In fact, this is somewhat outrageous. What virtues and abilities does a company have? It is listed here, but people cannot stand it and just believe it.

This time it fell from the sky, it can be said that it shocked the whole world. The local people's recognition of enlightened wisdom is almost like belief.

The organization also wanted to continue to act in the name of "enlightened intelligence" to avoid sensitivity. Zhou Rui naturally would not refuse, saying that the organization could use it if it wanted to.

Because of the local's infinite goodwill for "enlightened intelligence", and in order to be able to regroup as soon as possible, stimulate morale, and to consolidate the results permanently.

The organization suggested that "Enlightened Intelligence" take a piece of land locally and build a skyscraper.

The local organization will provide the money, and the building organization will send people to build the building. It will take several years to build the building, but the plan can be announced now.

This is not a fake building with ten floors like a "smart building".

It’s a real “skyscraper” going up to the 90th floor!

This "skyscraper" will bring about many things and provide a large number of jobs. The construction time of several years will allow more interfaces for exchanges between the two sides.

As for the dozens of small cost targets, it doesn't matter.

So Zhou Rui was in a dilemma, so he could only announce the news online, saying that he would build a new "future building" in the Geelong area, take the lead in investing in the Geelong area, and contribute to the local reconstruction and economy.

As soon as this statement was made, there was once again a round of applause.

As for the fact that Leader Zhou got a skyscraper without paying for it, he just had fun secretly.

Let people who are already wealthy become even more unbearable.

It is also a reward tacitly approved by the organization.

After all, Zhou Rui and Enlightenment Intelligence have been of great help this time. In the next few years, there will be a lot of work carried out in the name of "Enlightenment Intelligence".

Now, both the "Future Building" and local reconstruction will take a long time.

Zhou Rui temporarily returned to normal life.

In this year, the "Journey to the God of Agriculture" took him more than two months, and the "Kunpeng" took him more than four months. Looking back, he saw that there was not much time left in the year.

He finally had a complete period of time where he could stay in Shanghai with peace of mind and feel the changes in the world.

Enjoy your life.

"Zhou Rui! Hurry up! It's time to go out!"

In Jiangwan Hanlin, Zhou Rui was shirtless and practicing boxing.

With the blessing of "Golden Breath" and the posture of "Li Caifu Fist", this peaceful state of morning training has not been seen for a long time.

When Li Wenqian came in, her face turned red quickly when she saw Zhou Rui's muscular upper body.

He stood in the corner and said nothing.

Zhou Rui stopped his work, wiped the non-existent sweat with a towel, and said with a smile: "What, you think I don't wear clothes again?"

Then he rubbed his little head.

Although it is no longer a mushroom head, it still feels so smooth.

Looking at Li Wenqian's flushed cheeks, Zhou Rui thought of the subtle relationship between the three of them and thought it was time for him to take the initiative.

So he leaned down and took the tip of Li Wenqian's lips.

The little girl's eyes widened at first, then she couldn't help but stood on tiptoes, her heart rate soaring to 180.

It was obviously a gentle peck, but it made her feel as if she was suffocating. She pushed softly: "Go and change quickly. Sister is already at the school gate."

Seeing the little girl's reaction, Zhou Rui understood and stopped teasing.

Today, he rarely wore a formal suit without a tie, but he was still in high spirits.

Li Wenqian helped Zhou Rui adjust his collar, and the blush on his face gradually faded.

As soon as the two opened the door, they bumped into the courier.

"1501 Mr. Zhou, please sign for your express delivery."

The courier handed over a long cardboard box wrapped with tape. It seemed that because the things inside were not large, the cardboard box was cut and tied randomly.

Zhou Rui didn't understand what it was at first, but he realized what it was when he saw "Liu Wei" written on the sender.

It was the "Taoist Priest Qingxuan" of Qingcheng Mountain.

Last week, Zhou Rui was busy cooperating with the organization and advancing the historical process.

Taoist Master Qingxuan called and said that he had found a descendant of "Zhuang Shirong, the last descendant of Shanzimen of Quanzhen Longmen Sect". After getting to know each other, he finally came to understand the relationship between "Zhuang Shirong" and "Wild Taoist Priest".

That's a sad story.

Zhuang Shirong was born into a wealthy family at the foot of Qingcheng Mountain. He was sent to Qingcheng Mountain to practice since he was a child.

During the Anti-Japanese War, he did go down to save the country, but it was a few years earlier than Mr. Mi knew.

Zhuang Shirong first joined the "Sichuan J Regiment" at the beginning, but as a fledgling, he underestimated the cruelty of the battlefield. He spent a year with the army and witnessed too many tragedies. His comrades around him left one by one, and even several nearly total annihilation

After his unit was wiped out, Zhuang Shirong returned to his hometown with a lot of pain, married a wife and had children.

But three years later, during the most difficult period of the Anti-Japanese War, he finally couldn't bear it anymore. Although his hands were injured and he couldn't even shoot accurately, he still chose to leave again.

Feeling ashamed of his parents, wife and children, and most likely never to return, Zhuang Shirong cut off his hair and renounced the secular world, leaving behind the Shanzimen seal and magic sword, and secretly left without anything.

He only had a Taoist robe on his body, not even half a bag of dry food, and not even an ocean.

He went to many places and joined the anti-Japanese team wherever he was needed. When his organization was disbanded, he would find a new unit. Every time, he just said that he was a nameless mountain Taoist who could not shoot a gun, but could wash clothes and cook, and handle logistics for the soldiers.

In his spare time, he changed his name and called the "Six Breaths" "Six Qigong" and taught it to everyone, just as a way to strengthen his body.

Under the feelings of family and country, the rules of the Taoist sect were no longer important in his eyes.

From then on, the rich boy "Zhuang Shirong" became a "wild Taoist" who could not shoot a gun and could only cook.

When Old Man Mi met the wild Taoist, it was the "wild Taoist" who had found the anti-Japanese team for the nth time.

Zhuang Shirong's family was very disappointed with this person and thought he was dead. It happened to be a time of social upheaval, so no one knew about the inheritance of the "Shanzimen" lineage, and everything was still there.

When Liu Wei approached him, Zhuang Shirong's descendant was a local civil servant. Among the items of the lineage, the seal had been lost and no one knew where it was. Only a half-broken peach wood sword was left.

The family members didn't understand these things. They said it was an antique, but it didn't seem that old. It was also broken. But they were afraid of offending others if they threw it away. Just like few people dared to throw away the statue of Bodhisattva, it was left in the basement and no one cared about it. A third of it was bitten off by rats.

When they heard that Liu Wei was a Taoist priest from Qingcheng Mountain, they didn't hesitate and gave him the sword without even asking for money.

Liu Wei believed that the elder of "Lv Xubo" was the "heir" of this bizarre history and mastered the "Six Breaths Skill".

In this generation, in fact, not many people really care about these lineages. Many of the remaining things of the lineages are kept in the bottom of the box as worthless old items.

Heir? Who to teach? If you have this skill, you might as well find a class to take.

In short, with the permission of the Taoist temple leader, this half-broken and worthless peach wood sword was sent to "Lv Xubo" as a period to put an end to this legendary experience.

Zhou Rui unpacked the package, and inside was a broken wooden sword wrapped in foam, with a total length of about 50 cm.

The traces of rats biting were obvious. It was indeed a worthless thing. No one would pick it up if it was thrown away. No wonder it was sent here.

But old man Mi should be willing to know the story behind it.

Li Wenqian said curiously: "Is this sent by Taoist Qingxuan?"

Zhou Rui waved it lightly: "Yes, I also collected it on behalf of him and sent it to old man Mi later."

Together with his "81 Medal".

Wipe off the dust, the intact part is shiny and even a little black.

The word "mountain" is engraved on the hilt.

Zhou Rui checked and found that Taoism is divided into five veins, namely, "mountain, medicine, life, and fortune-telling". The main purpose of "mountain" is to cultivate "body" and "spirit" through methods such as esoteric classics, spells, and boxing.

Of course, this is a metaphysical explanation. Ordinary people can understand it as "martial arts" among Taoists.

Zhou Rui suddenly thought that he also knew Li Cai Foquan. Does this count as practicing Buddhism and Taoism together?

Hahaha!

It's the 21st century. Technology is the right way. Without systematic "melting", "Six Qigong" is not so magical.

He flicked the sword of the peach wood sword, and a dull sound came, which made Zhou Rui, who was about to put it away and go out, stunned.

Then he immediately looked at the connection of the hilt.

Although it was very clever and even covered with patina and old mud, with his engineering knowledge

Is there a secret compartment in this thing?
