Chapter 336
You Xuehan, code name Tang Yuan, is a scholar by profession, which is what Puluo Province calls a literary cultivator.
Logically speaking, Tang Yuan generally wouldn't participate in dealing with this kind of relatively primitive alien, because this kind of alien doesn't understand human language and has no cognition of human culture, so most of the scholar's techniques are ineffective against them.
But this belonged to an emergency situation. Except for "Zhong Er" and "Light Bulb", she arrived the fastest.
In front of this silkworm, there were two most suitable techniques.
One is text attack, which is what Puluo Province calls "One Word Worth a Thousand Gold".
This "silkworm" doesn't know characters, but this doesn't affect the effect of "One Word Worth a Thousand Gold". This technique exerts the power of characters and cultivators to cause heavy damage to the enemy.
For example, writing a "Shatter" character on this silkworm; if the cultivation is high enough, it can make this silkworm shatter on the spot.
This is the best choice for literary cultivators to deal with primitive aliens, but why didn't Tang Yuan use it?
"One Word Worth a Thousand Gold" is a sixth-layer technique, and Tang Yuan only has fourth-layer cultivation.
This fourth-layer cultivation was also exchanged through drugs and training using the technological level of the Outer Provinces. Tang Yuan's practical experience was quite limited.
The second is text entity, which is what Puluo Province calls "Counting Ink and Seeking Lines".
This is a fourth-layer literary cultivator technique, which Tang Yuan could use.
The technique applied also uses the power of characters and cultivators to materialize characters and fight with the enemy.
But this technique is not a good choice under the current situation.
The materialized characters turned into hundreds or thousands of warriors, attacking everyone on the scene indiscriminately.
The silkworm was thick-skinned and could withstand it, but "Light Bulb" wasn't that thick-skinned. A "Knife" character turned into a short knife and flew over. "Light Bulb" was oily and slippery all over, and could still circle for a while.
When a "Fire" character turned into a ball of flame and flew over, Light Bulb was scared and immediately gave up the plan to rescue Qin Minghui, directly fleeing the range of the technique.
He fled, what about Qin Minghui?
Qin Minghui wasn't the most miserable; the most miserable were the two children. They didn't even know the most basic protective actions.
Tang Yuan found a way out between the lines and escaped from the characters.
She also considered that others would be affected, so she didn't strike hard. Currently, she was facing a dilemma.
Should she save Qin Minghui first or save the two children first?
During the hesitation, Qin Minghui took advantage of the silkworm resisting the attack of the characters, took the opportunity to escape, pounced on the two children, and protected them under his body.
He still hadn't escaped the control range of the technique.
A few lines of characters began to attack around Qin Minghui, beating Qin Minghui until he was covered in cuts and bruises.
Seeing this, Tang Yuan hurriedly lifted the technique.
But she didn't expect that this was also a bad move.
She hadn't struck hard before, and the silkworm hadn't suffered heavy damage, but now the technique was lifted, and the furious silkworm rushed toward Qin Minghui again.
At this moment, Tang Yuan couldn't think of a countermeasure.
At the critical moment, Seeing Datou rushed into the factory building and knocked over the silkworm with one punch.
The silkworm wriggled and struggled on the ground, wanting to get up. Seeing Datou stepped forward and kicked again, breaking the silkworm's fangs.
Taking advantage of the silkworm's inability to resist, Seeing Datou took a syringe from his waist, pierced it into the silkworm's skin, and injected the medicine.
The silkworm struggled for a moment and lay on the ground motionless.
Tang Yuan hurriedly called an ambulance and sent Qin Minghui and the two children to the hospital.
Qin Minghui suffered quite a few injuries, but fortunately, it didn't endanger his life. After dealing with the wounds and using a pain pump, he soon fell asleep.
The next morning, Seeing Datou and Light Bulb returned to the bureau to write reports, and Tang Yuan stayed in the hospital to take care of Qin Minghui.
Chen Zhangrui came to the hospital. Upon learning that Qin Minghui's condition was still okay, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.
According to the bureau's treatment, Qin Minghui lived in a single-person ward. Taking advantage of the fact that there were no other people in the room, Chen Zhangrui chatted with Tang Yuan for a few sentences.
"Tang Yuan, Zhong Er and Light Bulb are newcomers, I won't talk about them. How many years have you been in the bureau?"
Tang Yuan lowered her head and said: "Ten years."
"If I remember correctly, you became a Dark Energy User when you were eight years old."
Tang Yuan nodded.
"I remember your father specially found a master for you in the bureau to teach you the training techniques of a scholar. Your talent is also really good; at this age, you have reached the fourth layer."
Tang Yuan bit her lip and didn't make a sound.
Chen Zhangrui looked at Qin Minghui: "Zhong Er and Light Bulb are newcomers, I won't talk about them. You have been in the bureau for ten years, with fourth-layer strength, and this mission was done like this?"
Tang Yuan's face was flushed red.
Chen Zhangrui sighed and said: "This matter is not to be blamed on you, it's my fault. It's me who let you have too little experience.
There is more than just you in the team who is in this situation. Last time we executed a mission, Glasses and Candy and the others also did a mess.
When encountering missions that are slightly difficult, those who can fight hard battles are all old team members like Seeing Datou. If these old team members can't fight one day, I don't know what our security team can do in the future."
During the conversation, Qin Minghui woke up.
"I'll go get some hot water." Tang Yuan, who was originally ashamed, really couldn't sit still and found an excuse to leave the ward.
Chen Zhangrui looked at Qin Minghui and said: "Little Qin, well done, you didn't lose face for me. I will go to the bureau tomorrow to ask for an award for you."
Qin Minghui shook his head: "Captain, I heard everything you just said. This mission was not done well."
Chen Zhangrui smiled: "You did very well."
"Not good is not good, everyone is the same. I recalled the whole process, and we made quite a few mistakes."
"Don't think about this. You are a newcomer, dealing with an alien for the first time; it's not bad to be able to do this degree."
"What is the name of that alien?"
"Name......" Chen Zhangrui thought for a while, "If we follow our way of calling it, it should be a Lepidoptera primitive variant biological creature."
"What does Puluo Province call it?"
"You also know about Puluo Province?"
"I heard you mention it. You said that is the place where one can truly learn skills."
Chen Zhangrui smiled: "In Puluo Province, this alien is called a silkworm."
"Listening to this name, it doesn't seem to be taken too seriously."
"Taken seriously? How can I tell you?" Chen Zhangrui smiled bitterly,
"In Puluo Province, there is a special place called New Land. There, if you call any hunter, they can easily take down a silkworm, just because there is nothing valuable on this silkworm, so the hunter is too lazy to pay attention to them."
Qin Minghui listened very intently: "In this way, isn't Puluo Province very powerful?"
Chen Zhangrui shook his head: "The people of Puluo Province are very fierce, but Puluo Province is not powerful. Once you have been there, you will understand."
Ma Wu stared at A-Qin's eyes for a long time.
Yesterday, he pulled out the root of love in Huo Ling's eyes, and Huo Ling soon returned to normal.
But this root of love in A-Qin's eyes could not be pulled out no matter what, just like a soft thorn; when pulling, it was difficult to exert force.
Fortunately, A-Qin was somewhat sober. Ma Wu told her not to watch movies anymore, and A-Qin also listened to Ma Wu very much. She lived honestly in the newspaper office for one night.
Waiting until the next morning to look again, the root of love in A-Qin's eyes was gone.
Asking about the movie "Blood Blade Detective" again, A-Qin also didn't have any special feelings.
"Just looking for something fresh, to say how good it is, it's not quite that."
Huo Ling also agreed: "I watch movies just for the excitement, this play actually isn't very exciting, but it did talk about quite a few big truths."
Ma Wu felt more and more strange.
Could it be that he was overthinking?
Could it be that these two women were really just looking for something fresh?
He asked Bai Qiusheng to handle the travel permit and bought a train ticket, preparing to go to Pants Belt Ridge.
Huo Ling was unhappy: "Fifth Brother, what are you doing going there? Isn't having the two of us enough?"
A-Qin also advised from the side: "You have just promoted, you must pay attention to the measure."
Ma Wu looked at the bloodstain on the handkerchief; this was left by Huo Ling.
Is this really the root of love?
Perhaps only she can verify it.
Medicine Yao Wang Gou Station, Li Banfeng got off the train and inquired everywhere in the square in front of the station about the coachman with the fire wheel.
It was rare to come once; if he could meet him, it would be best to ask about the seventh-layer technique.
An old master was familiar with the coachman with the fire wheel: "This brother went home yesterday afternoon, saying he wanted to avoid disaster, and also told me to go back and hide.
How could I hide? If I don't work for a day, I can't live. My whole family is waiting to eat."
Avoid disaster?
This coachman was a big shot among traveling cultivators. His ability to seek good fortune and avoid disaster could not be underestimated. If he said he wanted to avoid disaster, then there must be something.
What could it be?
Li Banfeng tightened his defenses, didn't take a foreign carriage, and walked straight to Inner Ditch.
Inner Ditch was really intimate; this was Li Banfeng's first stop in Puluo Province, especially Archway Street, where every shop was very familiar, including the Immortal Music Dance Hall he had blown up.
The dance hall was rebuilt, the facade was about the same as before, and it was said to be a business of the Jiang Xiang Gang.
Should I blow it up again?
Another day.
First go find Shopkeeper Feng.
Li Banfeng arrived at the Feng Family Grocery Store, and the shop had its main door closed.
Where did he go to have fun again? Is Chunsheng not there either?
The Yu Family Cloth Store next door was also closed.
What's the situation?
Li Banfeng just wanted to find someone to ask, when he suddenly felt someone approaching behind him.
He turned his head abruptly and saw a thin and tall figure rushing to him and saying: "Came back without even saying a word?"
Being able to meet by chance on the street, Qiu Zhiheng was overjoyed.
Perhaps it was because they were used to this tacit understanding, Li Banfeng didn't say much, Qiu Zhiheng didn't ask much, he took Li Banfeng straight to the Qiu Family Medicine Store: "Let's go, go home and eat."
Arriving at the medicine store, introduced by Qiu Zhiheng, the sister-in-law knew that this person was Li Qi.
The sister-in-law was also very happy and cooked for the two of them personally.
The medicine store business was very prosperous. Qiu Zhiheng had struggled for many years and finally had his own business, managing it with extra care.
The sister-in-law prepared a table of wine and dishes, and the two drank a few cups. Qiu Zhiheng said: "In a moment, you take a look at the account book, and calculate the bonus."
At the beginning, it was clearly stated: Li Banfeng provided the money, Qiu Zhiheng provided the effort, and they split the accounts fifty-fifty. When it came to splitting the money, Qiu Zhiheng certainly wouldn't let Li Banfeng suffer a loss.
Li Banfeng waved his hand and said: "Keep my bonus for me first, let's make the business bigger.
I came this time to find Shopkeeper Feng of the Feng Family Grocery Store. Do you know where he went?"
The sister-in-law said from the side: "He said he went to avoid disaster, and also told us it's best to close the business these two days."
Why did Shopkeeper Feng also go to avoid disaster?
What's the situation?
Qiu Zhiheng said: "Our business just opened, how can we close it casually? I guess the Jiang Xiang Gang is coming to make trouble. I really want to see what tricks they can play here."
Is it really the Jiang Xiang Gang?
Shopkeeper Feng hiding from the Jiang Xiang Gang is within reason.
Why did the coachman want to hide from the Jiang Xiang Gang?
Is there something else here?
Just as he was pondering, Qiu Zhiheng's son ran in, blushing and smiling: "Sister Mao Caoye is here."
Mao Caoye?
Which Mao Caoye?
Li Banfeng went out to take a look, and it was indeed the Mao Caoye he knew on Bitter Mist Mountain.
Mao Caoye had red eyes, standing at the entrance of the medicine store, with a carriage stopped behind her.
Standing next to the carriage was a man, looking about sixty, wearing a short jacket, combed with a side part, with a profound smile, using the tone of an elder, saying to Mao Caoye:
"I'll say something, you don't like to hear it, what's the use of you doing this business? How much money can you earn by delivering a load of medicinal materials?
You still want to open a medicine store? You still want to do big business? Look at yourself, are you that kind of material? Think about it, do you have that life?"
Mao Caoye sobbed upon hearing this.
Not necessarily.
On Bitter Mist Mountain, Mao Caoye was also someone who had risked her life; she wouldn't shed tears because of a few words from this old thing, right?
What relation is this old man to her?
Li Banfeng was still observing the situation, when he saw the sister-in-law rush out of the door, grab Mao Caoye and enter the medicine store.
Qiu Zhiheng said to the guests in the medicine store: "Sorry, everyone, the shop is closed, come back another day?"
The guests were very dissatisfied. What time is it? How can you close the shop just by saying so?
Qiu Zhiheng didn't explain, sent the guests away, and closed the door immediately.
Li Banfeng said: "Brother Qiu, what happened?"
Qiu Zhiheng frowned: "Haven't been to Medicine Yao Wang Gou for too long, news isn't sharp either."
The sister-in-law said from the side: "Nonsense! Shopkeeper Feng told you to go avoid disaster, you didn't listen!"
Qiu Zhiheng was very annoyed: "He didn't make it clear, I thought he had an enemy, who knew this thing came!"
Just as they were talking, the old man shouted outside the door: "What's the meaning of this? I came and you closed the door? Can business be done like this?
I'll say something, you don't like to hear it, you treat guests like this in your medicine store, it definitely won't be good in the future!"
Qiu Zhiheng gritted his teeth: "Bad luck!"
Li Banfeng said: "What exactly does this person do?"
"This is a Mourning Cultivator!"
PS: What kind of sect is a Mourning Cultivator? Why does everyone avoid them?
