Chapter 36 of the Deep Space Beyond Volume Something Happened Cars honking their horns in the morning, crowded buses, office workers in a hurry, and students trotting with schoolbags, these pictures are intertwined, and a new day of tense and busy life officially begins.
There was still time, Wang Xuan found a small restaurant on the side of the road, a pancake, a cup of sweet soy milk, and a bowl of salted tofu brains.
"Came early?" He found that he was the first to arrive at the unit, and Liu Xue, who was young and dressed up, arrived after more than ten minutes, and other talents appeared one after another half an hour.
There was nothing to do in the morning, Wang Xuan sent and received a few emails, briefly processed two drawings, and then began to study the Taoist collection in a low-key manner.
Of course, he was also paying attention to observing the old colleague Chen Yongjie who liked to call people to fish when he had nothing to do.
Sure enough, there was a problem, and Wang Xuan's heart was beating.
In the morning, my old colleague made a few phone calls one after another, what fishing, last night was stormy, and this morning it was windy and sunny.
In his opinion, the old colleague is full of black words!
Not to mention fishing, he experienced it firsthand in the Daxing'an Mountains, and last night's storm must have been talking about pulling out the gray blood organization.
Afterwards...... Wang Xuan sees that everyone thinks there is a problem!
For example, the guy wearing black-rimmed glasses was talking to people there about killing all night, and he is still sleepy.
The two eldest sisters who love to play mahjong were also talking in a low voice, saying that Feng Shui takes turns sitting, and luck does not matter how long it is, and the next time they sit in the bank, they will have a decisive battle.
And the colleague who is a little emotional and loves to write poetry when he has nothing to do, came to a song early in the morning: "I used the sky dome as a curtain, hung a string of fireworks, and with a bang, it exploded so brilliantly, it was amazing to the world."
Wang Xuan was shocked, who is this? !
Could it be that they all went to participate in the operation last night and piloted the battleship to take out a group of hostile spaceships?
Finally, Wang Xuan looked at Liu Xue, the little girl next to him who was applying lipstick in the small mirror, and felt something was wrong. She said that this lipstick is not the right color, she likes the miserable red, and the blood color has a mournful and sad charm, so that there is a kind of beauty of a quiet birth.
Listen, everyone in the room was talking black words, Wang Xuan suddenly nodded, he sat there calmly, forcing himself to meditate and study Taoism.
Finally it was time for lunch, and my colleagues were in a good mood, so I took Wang Xuan, a newcomer, to a newly opened restaurant outside the design institute to try it out.
Wang Xuan ate tastelessly, absent-minded, and wanted to ask them, but he was afraid that it would be too abrupt and direct.
After eating, the old colleague was still relatively stable and took the initiative to find Wang Xuan in private, but a sentence almost made him turn his head and leave, because the old colleague asked him if he wanted to go fishing.
After having a dangerous experience in the Great Xing'an Mountains and almost being locked by the Gray Blood Organization's space battleship, Wang Xuan never wanted to wade through similar muddy waters again.
"Young man, you are still young, you still have blood, and you still have youth that can bring tears to your eyes, so you have to cherish it."
Wang Xuan asked him with a blank face, did he want him to be used as bait again?
"What do you think, I just invite you to go fishing in the abandoned machinery factory behind the design institute for several years, where there is a lake that is not big or small, and now the reeds are overgrown and the wild fish are fattening."
Wang Xuan looked at him suspiciously, his old colleague vaguely admitted that he was the old 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, I just had lunch, chatted while walking, and went fishing for a while." He was fully prepared, and in the trunk of his old red day car, there were all kinds of fishing gear.
On the way, Wang Xuan couldn't help but ask, what are the identities of those colleagues in the office?
Old colleague Chen Yongjie was in a daze at first, and then couldn't help it, and laughed there, saying: "Where do you want to go, are you really a Crouching Tiger and Hidden Dragon in our pension office, they are all abnormal human beings? They are a group of normal men and women who love to play games, play mahjong, sadly recite poetry, dress up and watch horror movies, and the only ones who are abnormal are you and me."
Wang Xuan was speechless, 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 and blurred her face, killing five people in a row in a few days."
"This is rumor and slander, I have never killed anyone!" Wang Xuan quickly corrected that he abide by the law and injured five people while defending.
"It's almost the same." The old colleague nodded.
Wang Xuan wanted to explain to him, so he wanted to ask him what his identity was and how he worked in such an inconspicuous place.
The old colleague took him to the lake in the abandoned machinery factory, set up the fishing rod, and said: "I am Master Aoki, running on both sides of the new star and old land, no matter where you are, you have to have a leisurely job under the cover, don't you like it here?"
Wang Xuan immediately understood that Aoki had already prepared and prevented him, and when he first graduated, he beat him up to his master's side.
Even if Wang Xuan did not choose to join the expedition organization in the first place, with such an old colleague in front of him, it is estimated that he will be fooled into it sooner or later.
"You guys are premeditated!" Wang Xuan sighed, but what else can I say, the old colleagues have revealed their identities and shown their sincerity.
"Don't have any knots, we went through careful calculations and arrangements last time, the spaceship of the gray blood organization can't threaten you at all, if you dare to show up, you will be knocked down, forget it, don't talk about this, I heard that you practiced the golden body technique and gave you a gift."
An old colleague handed over a book, which looked a little old, with a sense of obsolescence left by the years.
Wang Xuan took it and opened it, looked at it carefully, and showed a surprised look, which was recorded in the book as all kinds of plants, minerals, strange creatures, etc.
"Is this reliable?" He flipped through a few pages and suddenly felt like he had opened up a new world.
For example, the moonlight silver recorded in the book, an extremely rare and special mineral, will have a silvery liquid flowing out when the ore is cracked, and it needs to be taken immediately, otherwise it will evaporate quickly and dissipate like bright moonlight.
If ordinary people can drink some, they can activate flesh and blood, and it is most effective for people who practice golden body techniques and iron cloth shirts.
There is also a certain golden mushroom, which can increase bone density, especially nourish the bone marrow, and the new blood produced is more active, thereby gradually improving the overall physical fitness.
The more Wang Xuan looked at it, the more outrageous he felt, he had never heard of these things, he felt that he couldn't find the real thing even if he compared it with the encyclopedia map.
For example, it is mentioned later that a certain mountain snail, which is born in the mountains and rocks, is a rare mountain treasure, if caught, dried and ground, taken for one penny a day, lasts for half a month, it can extend life by five years.
The more Wang Xuan looked at it, the more he didn't believe it, he had read the compendium of Materia Medica, etc. in his spare time, but he had never seen these strange things at all.
Old colleague Chen Yongjie said: "Don't believe it, these things are recorded in the Taoist ancestral court and the ancient Buddhist temples, this book is just a summary, and some strange things mentioned in the pre-Qin bamboo slips are added."
Wang Xuan was startled and said: "But, after so many years, who has seen it? It has been extinct for an unknown number of years."
"The old land cannot be seen now, but it is not in deep space." The old colleague smiled.
Wang Xuan keenly noticed that he was referring to deep space, not a nova, and felt subtle.
The old colleague lifted the fishing rod violently, shook his head regretfully, the fish ran away, and he didn't catch it, he continued: "In the past ten years, some people have gotten some of these strange things, although the amount is not much, but it has also caused a lot of turmoil.
Wang Xuan quickly flipped through the book and found the page of the earth fairy grass, and the description of it was simply leisurely fascinating, taking one plant could extend its life by two hundred years.
"So, someone on the new star side is going crazy, extending their lives for two hundred years, which is equivalent to two new births for ordinary people, and the old guys in the chaebol, the person in charge of the Life Research Institute, etc., are all going crazy and taking action."
Wang Xuan did have ups and downs, but he quickly became vigilant again, this old man loves to "fish" the most, should he not hold back his good idea now?
"It sounds very lively over there, your old man gave me such a book, and then told me these things, whetting my appetite, what do you want to do? Tell me!"
"Today's young people have a lot of ideas, unlike our era, they are all simple good teenagers, you, think too much again." The old colleague shook his head, then suddenly pulled the fishing rod and finally caught one...... Soft-shelled turtle.
"Go, what are you messing with, I'm fishing!" The old man took off the soft-shelled turtle and threw it away, in his words, this thing had just been released not long ago, half-dead, and it was not a supplement.
"The quota for going to Rising Star is very tight, young people, you have to work hard." When I was going back, my old colleague came to say this.
However, since he heard him say these things, Wang Xuan was a little wary of him, and muttered slightly, even if he wanted to go to Nova, it was better to bypass his old colleagues.
When he returned home in the evening, he practiced old techniques, pondered feather fossils, and thought of the exotic flowers and various minerals mentioned in the book.
"Study Taoist collection during the day and practice old techniques at night, this kind of life is not bad, after a while, I will consider going to the new star, and see if I can find feather fossils recently."
There is a thousand-year-old temple outside the city, and Wang Xuan wants to go over and take a look in the near future.
Tomorrow Saturday, he was going home early in the morning to see his parents, not too far away, and he went back almost once every two weeks.
"There is a mountain over there in my house, which seems to have some legends, as if it is related to some fairy girl." Wang Xuan's heart moved, although he couldn't go to the thousand-year-old temple for the time being, he could go to the mountains when he went home.
He dreamed of a woman in white clothes and red shoes, with long hair disheveled, and two lines of blood on her beautiful face.
He has been sleeping peacefully since the old surgery and has never had nightmares, but today is a bit weird.
Wang Xuan adjusted his breathing, calmed himself, and fell asleep again soon after, but an hour later he woke up again, feeling the cold wind blowing on his face, and dreamed again of a female alchemist with two lines of blood and tears on his face.
He realized that something had happened, he was in big trouble, he had never believed this, but the reality was that once he fell asleep, he would dream of that woman.
"It seems that I won't be able to go home tomorrow." He couldn't figure out what was going on, he didn't want to go back rashly, he seemed to be stained with something bad.
This night, Wang Xuan fell asleep again and again, woke up again and again, until dawn, he immediately contacted his old colleague Chen Yongjie, he felt that Aoki couldn't help.
"Is there such a thing?" The old colleague was very solemn, but he didn't believe it, because as a senior explorer, he personally experienced some abnormal events, which he still can't explain.
"Don't worry, I'll ask someone to send you a talisman paper later, which was drawn by an old Taoist priest who lived for more than a hundred years, and it is very useful."
The old colleague did what he said, and it was delivered in the afternoon.
However, late at night, that disturbing strange phenomenon appeared again, and the so-called Taoist talisman paper burned directly, almost igniting Wang Xuan's bedding and his hair, making him stare dryly.
The situation was even worse in the middle of the night, and after finally falling asleep, he was awakened by a cold chill, feeling something in his arms, covered in long hair, and a pair of terrifying eyes were open, staring at him!
