Tower of Babel

But science, after all, has its own system of systematic theories and scientific experimental thinking methods. For ignorant people, it is like opening the door to a new world. Thousand-year-old devils are also attracted by it, leading to many fatal and absurd mistakes. Mixed with it, it eventually killed the old devil.

For example, things like Bingbingfenfenfushou ointment were not understood by Westerners in the early days, but were used as medicines. As a person who has never taken the body seriously, he dared to For the alchemy fanatics who are experimenting on their own, there is nothing they dare not try. What they didn't expect is that this thing that attaches to the bones and eats the soul does not kill him to death, but exhausts the last energy of the soul. Xu Changqing died.

The most precious treasure - Soul-fixing Pearl was left behind. The soul beads at this time were influenced by Western technology and kept pace with the times. They were not inlaid with natural cinnabar and jade. Xu Changsheng conducted in-depth research on the chemical composition and structural mechanism of cinnabar, and used scientific technology to purify and refine the minerals. Optimized, the soul pearl at this time is a hundred times better than before, but it looks like a man-made glass product, mixed in the merchandise, so that no one cares about the pearl.

After more than two thousand years of exploration, Xu Changqing created a unique practice called"Soul Refining Heart Method", which includes how to be reborn and awaken the memory of past lives, how to be possessed by ghosts, how to seize a body, how to hypnotize, how to exercise mental power, and soul beads. The last unique skill is soul penetration, which does not travel through time and space, but the soul travels through space and possesses others. It is a means of escape. To put it bluntly, it is to support other people's obsessions and create spiritual changes. Quantum entanglement teleports for possession. From the Zhang Cheng family, he knows that people who are too obsessed can easily be possessed by evil spirits, but he never thought of the original reason. He is no stranger to the theory of the soul and the three souls and seven souls. After seeing the soul refining method, he started Very quickly, the 19th century was able to involve the quantum entanglement effect. Xu Changqing was really amazing and opened a new door for Zhang Cheng.

Other knowledge is not too important. For example, two thousand years of alchemy knowledge combined is not enough for a book of inorganic chemistry! There is nothing interesting. There are also the compulsory courses for Taoist priests, the Book of Changes, Daodejing, Huangdi Neijing, and traditional Chinese medicine. There is also a collection of Western medicine before 1870. There is also deception and magic. Xu Changqing was also an emperor. , also dabbled in the art of emperors, and knew a little bit about the art of war and tactics. There are also things that the ancients paid attention to, such as music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, and songs, as well as the martial arts and precautions needed to travel in the world.

Of course, the most valuable thing is that Xu Changqing, as a thousand-year-old devil, has a lot of gold and silver treasures. Although there is no treasure in the soul pearl, there is a burial place for the treasure. Xu Changqing is like a hamster, burying a little east and a little west, just in case. In order to meet the needs, there are many treasures collected over the millennium. There are no fewer than dozens of burial places with more than one hundred taels of gold. The total amount of gold buried is more than ten thousand taels, hundreds of thousands of silver, as well as cultural relics, jades, and countless jewelry. These are all recorded one by one. On file.

The Soul-fixing Pearl is a magical existence, and these so-called books are download packages condensed from Xu Changqing's memory. There is no need for systematic learning and rote memorization. The whole process is as easy as computer copy and paste. The way for the soul bead to re-acknowledge itself after Xu Changqing's death is to take the soul bead out of the body, even if it is bleeding or too far away, Zhang Cheng is a blessing in disguise.

Although the total amount is not large, the so-called total amount of information in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion is only a few dozen books with no more than 10 million words, but Zhang Cheng did not dare to be nostalgic and forget about it. The elevator must have fallen and something happened to his body. He does not know the specific situation. ? How badly were you injured? It would be troublesome if he was cremated. In that case, he would have to find a way to reincarnate. Even if he mastered the reincarnation skills and could choose a good family to start over, living again would not be so fun. Besides, Zhang Cheng couldn't let go of his parents' upbringing.

Zhang Cheng now has control over the soul bead and can check his injuries through soul vision. The problem is not too serious, and it is not yet to the point where I need to start a new life. The visceral ligaments have been strained in many places, the brain has been concussed to a certain extent, and the soul can still return to its original position. He couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

The soul-refining and heart-refining techniques are of their own. Although there are no powerful physical cultivation-level techniques, which are mainly soul-refining techniques, there are still martial-arts-level techniques for healing the heart. Xu Changqing also has considerable research on recuperating injuries, and the soul beads There is also a certain amount of energy in the body to repair the injury.

After Zhang's soul returned to its original position, he started to use the exercises to start healing, but his body did not wake up immediately. He felt like a ghost pressing down on the bed. He understood in his heart but could not move. After a ray of nerve sensory feedback came back to life, Zhang Cheng had been sent to the hospital. He just woke up and felt fluttering and not very good. Are you awake?

What came into view was a young man in his twenties or thirties, wearing a suit and leather shoes, and he was dressed more seriously. At first glance, he was a professional manager. Hello, I am the property manager. We are deeply sorry for the elevator fall incident in our community. After you were injured, we sent you to the hospital in time and paid you 5,000 yuan in medical expenses in advance. After a preliminary examination by the doctor, your There is nothing serious about your health, just a slight concussion. You will be fine after resting for about two or three days. For this reason, we hope you will sign this settlement agreement.

For Zhang Cheng, who has owned Xu Changqing's thousand-year fortune, he really doesn't care whether he will accompany him or not. However, after waking up, the first thing he did was ask the property owner to sign a waiver. Human nature is like this, which made him feel a little unhappy. Shaking my dizzy head,

I'm sorry, Mr. Manager, my head is so dizzy now that I can't remember what happened. Can you tell me to take a break and take a rest?

It's okay, concussion will be accompanied by short-term amnesia, which does not affect the legal validity of the signed agreement. Zhang Cheng felt extremely unhappy with the other party's impatient attitude.

How much compensation are you prepared to pay? compensation? Are you kidding me sir? You must know that we have already paid your medical expenses in advance and your health is not serious. Why should we compensate you?

Zhang Cheng smiled coldly. If the elevator is in disrepair, doesn't your property management have any responsibility? Besides, how do you calculate my lost wages for a week? I'm a food delivery guy, earning 200 to 300 yuan a day, and I have a dozen orders in hand. Now I'm delayed, and customers are complaining. I have to pay at least 500 yuan for each order, as well as a week's lost work pay.···········

Seeing that Zhang Cheng has a clear mind and clear logic, the property manager can only resort to the next best thing. Okay! The lost work fee is calculated based on one week, which is 300 yuan a day. We can compensate you for the 2,100 yuan. But as for the fine for your complaint, I think there is a reason. The property management company can issue a certificate of cause, and you can appeal on the platform to avoid punishment, so We reject this part of the compensation.

I don’t agree. The platform is too far away from me and the property is very close to me. I can hand over the things I have and my salary card to your property. If you have to pay the fine to your property, you must first compensate me for my losses. This is not a requirement. Divide it? You are both a big company. It is better for a company to talk to a company than to talk to an individual to a company. If I can benefit from your company’s injury this time, how about I borrow the power of the company’s leadership to get my salary back from the platform? If not, I can give your company a selling gift or a banner.

Such a request was somewhat unreasonable, but Zhang Cheng used some of the hypnotic control techniques he had just learned from the mental method. So it didn’t take much effort to get the other party to accept the negotiation conditions.

Okay, I understand what you mean, but it is beyond my scope of authority at this time. I have to report to the company before making a decision.

········

He recovered and was discharged from the hospital three days later. After sending a banner of conscience property, Zhang Cheng received a total of 8,000 yuan in compensation and left the food delivery industry completely. Starting a new life

Zhang Cheng uses a motorcycle to deliver food. After leaving the food delivery industry, he does not need to buy a new vehicle for the time being. He can just change his trunk. Although motorcycles are more troublesome, they only require a driver's license to comply with traffic rules, and their horsepower and cruising range are better than those of battery vehicles.

After purchasing an engineer shovel, mountaineering pick and some wilderness survival tools from the Internet, Zhang Cheng embarked on a new journey on his motorcycle and became an amateur traveler. It’s not that I really want to travel around, but I want to dig out a treasure and get some pocket money. Of all the difficulties in life, the hardest is not having money. It’s been almost ten years since I left school, and my personal savings is less than 100,000. My private car— —Motorcycle, no house, just a house in the countryside. Life is not easy.

According to Xu Changqing's records, 200 kilometers away from City A, there is a small cave buried in a barren mountain next to the national highway, which is a treasure hiding place. Fortunately, it was a national highway, otherwise Zhang Cheng would not have dared to ride a motorcycle on the highway. 200 kilometers, about three to four hours' journey. After arriving at the place, Zhang Cheng parked his motorcycle on the side of the road. His legs felt numb after getting off the car. He took a moment to stretch his legs and feet.

Both times, the national highway was surrounded by mountains, but the peaks were not high. This was a mountainous national highway with a low grade. I took out the engineering shovel and mountaineering pick from the trunk, and got off the roadbed. There was a pine forest along the road. There is a diagonal path leading into the col at the angle between the two peaks. In fact, there is no road, just a fairly flat col. The journey is not far, and when we reach a gentle slope, there are a few rocks leaking out of the surface. This is Landmarks, in fact, there is no need for landmarks. There is not just one soul bead, it is a createable thing. Xu Changqing's treasures all have soul-fixing beads as calibration objects. Now if he wanted to, Zhang Cheng could use the soul-fixing beads as coordinates and directly pass through the soul, but naturally the soul passage cannot take anything away, so it can only be used to mark the direction. When he came to the foot of the rock, Zhang Cheng began to dig with an engineer shovel.

After digging half a meter into the soil, which was not thick, he sealed it with gravel. He used a mountaineering pick to dig out the gravel. After more than an hour of hard work, the entrance of the cave was exposed. After letting out his breath for a while, Zhang Chengdai turned on his flashlight and climbed into the cave. The cave was only over one meter high, and an adult would have to lower his head and bend down to pass through. However, the distance was not long, only about ten meters, and it climbed slowly upwards. After a turn, the end was reached. , there is a wooden box inside.

Although the wooden box made of golden nan is anti-corrosive, its color has lost its luster and brightness under the erosion of soil and stone, and it looks simple and unpretentious. The copper handle, copper lock, and copper folding leaf all come from the ring pattern style. Judging from the age, it was obviously an ancient copper lock produced in the late Qing Dynasty. Opening the box, there were about fifty golden little yellow sticks, each weighing about fifty kilograms, and a bundle of gold leaves. Ten bunches of golden melon seeds, which is the change, a roll of Mexican eagle, wrapped in oil paper, five jade pendants, a soul-locating bead, two broken-hair musketeers, and a pot of gunpowder, a total of about one hundred kilograms.

I don’t want the musketeer. That thing is illegal. After throwing it away, I closed the box and opened it and turned back. Fortunately, the ordnance shovel and mountaineering pick didn’t sink. Light load, a distance of three to four hundred meters, a load of more than 100 kilograms, it took more than 40 minutes to rest four times, and finally climbed up the roadbed, put the ordnance shovel and mountaineering pick into the trunk, and tied the treasure box to the back seat. Tie it up with rope. Embark on the road against the city.
