The Elysium Across Deep Space - Chapter 36

[Chapter 36 Something Happened]

Cars whistling in the morning, crowded buses, commuters in a hurry, students trotting with schoolbags, these pictures are intertwined, and the tense and busy life of a new day officially begins.

There was still time, Wang Xuan found a small restaurant on the roadside, a pancake, a cup of sweet soy milk, and a bowl of salty tofu brain. He felt that the sweet and salty dispute between the north and the south could be over.

“Is it early?” He found that he was the first to arrive at the work unit. After ten minutes, Liu Xue, who likes to dress up in youth, arrived, and half an hour later, the others appeared one after another.

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

Of course, he was also paying attention to his old colleague, Chen Yongjie, who likes to call someone to go fishing when he has nothing to do.

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

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

In his opinion, the old colleague is full of black words!

Not to mention fishing, he personally experienced it in the Daxinganling. The storm last night must have been talking about the removal of the gray-blooded organization. As for today’s bright and sunny days, it should be saying that all forces must keep a low profile.

And then… Wang Xuan sees that everyone has a problem!

For example, the old man with black-rimmed glasses was still sleepy after talking to someone on the phone and saying that he was going to kill him all night.

The two eldest sisters who love to play mahjong are also talking in a low voice, saying that Feng Shui takes turns to sit, and luck is not a matter of time.

And the colleague who is a little sentimental and loves to write poetry when he has nothing to do, came to a song early in the morning: “I use the sky as the curtain, and hang a string of fireworks, bang, and the explosion is so gorgeous and stunning.”

Wang Xuan’s heart skipped a beat, who are these people? !

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

In the end, Wang Xuan felt that something was wrong when he saw Liu Xue, the little girl beside him who was applying lipstick in the small mirror. She said that the color of this lipstick is not correct. She likes the poignant red, and the blood has a sad and mournful charm, so that there is a kind of beauty that is born in peace.

Listen, everyone in the room was talking nonsense, and Wang Xuan suddenly had a big head. He sat there quietly, forcing himself to concentrate and study Daozang.

When it was finally time for lunch, the colleagues chatted and laughed, and took Wang Xuan, a newcomer, to a newly opened restaurant outside the Design Institute to have a taste.

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

After the meal, the old colleague was more prudent and took the initiative to find Wang Xuan in private, but he almost turned his head away with one sentence, because the old colleague asked him if he would go fishing.

Having had a dangerous experience in the Daxinganling Mountains, he was almost locked by the space battleship of the gray blood organization, and Wang Xuan never wanted to go to similar muddy waters again.

“Young man, you are still young, you still have blood, and you still have youth to fill your eyes with tears. You should cherish it.”

Wang Xuanmu asked him with a face, do you want him to be the bait again?

“What are you thinking? I’m just inviting you to go fishing in the machinery factory behind the design institute that has been abandoned for several years. There is a lake that is not big or small. Now there are reeds and wild fish are fat.”

Wang Xuan looked at him suspiciously, the old colleague admitted vaguely that he was the senior executive of the expedition organization?

“It’s me.” As if he knew what he was thinking, the old colleague directly admitted and said, “Let’s go, I just had lunch, chat while walking, and go fishing for a while.” He was fully prepared, and in his old car In the trunk of the red sun car, there are 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?

The old colleague Chen Yongjie was in a daze at first, and then he couldn’t help it. He laughed there and said: “Where do you want to go, do you really think that our old-age office is crouching tiger, hidden dragon, all abnormal human beings? They are a group 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, and did not recover for a long time before finally saying: “You are not normal, I am normal!”

Chen Yongjie glanced at him in surprise and said, “Is it normal? I heard that you slapped the face of a beautiful woman and killed five people in a few days.”

“This is rumor and slander, I have never killed anyone!” Wang Xuan quickly 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 didn’t want to explain to him, so he wanted to ask him what his identity was and why he was working in such an inconspicuous place.

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

When Wang Xuan heard it, he immediately understood that Aoki had been prepared and guarded for a long time. When he just graduated, he tinkered with his master.

Even if Wang Xuan did not choose to join the expedition organization, with such an old colleague in front of him, it is estimated that sooner or later he will be fooled into it.

“You guys are premeditated!” Wang Xuan sighed, but what else could be said, the old colleagues have revealed their identities, showing sincerity.

“Don’t worry about it. 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 destroyed. Forget it, don’t talk about it, I heard that you practice Golden Body Art, here’s a gift for you.”

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

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

“Is this reliable?” He flipped through a few pages and suddenly felt like a new world had opened up.

For example, the moonlight silver recorded in the book is an extremely rare and special mineral. When cracking that ore, a silver liquid will flow out. It needs to be eaten immediately, otherwise it will evaporate quickly and dissipate like the bright moonlight.

If ordinary people can drink some, it can activate the flesh and blood, and it is most effective for those who practice golden body art and iron cloth shirts. It is a great tonic and can accelerate the improvement of physical fitness.

There is also a certain golden mushroom, which is ground into powder and boiled in soup, which can increase bone density, especially the bone marrow, and the new blood produced is more active, thereby gradually improving the whole body.

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

For example, a certain kind of mountain snail is mentioned later. It is born in the mountains and is a rare mountain treasure. If it is caught, it is dried and ground, and it will last for half a month and prolong its life for five years.

The more Wang Xuan looked at it, the more unbelievable it became. He read the Compendium of Materia Medica, etc. in his spare time, but he had never seen these strange things.

Chen Yongjie, an old colleague, said: “Don’t believe it, these things are recorded in the Taoist ancestral court and the ancient Buddhist temple. 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 many years.”

“The old soil can’t be seen now, but that doesn’t mean there is no deep space.” The old colleague smiled.

Wang Xuan keenly noticed that he mentioned the deep space, not the new star, and felt the subtlety.

The old colleague vigorously mentioned the fishing rod, shook his head regretfully, the fish ran away and did not catch, he continued: “In the past ten years, some people have obtained some of these strange things, although the amount is not large, but it has also caused a lot of trouble. , Well, some people even discovered the earth fairy grass, but unfortunately they couldn’t pick it.”

Wang Xuan quickly flipped through the book and found the page of the earth immortal grass. The description of it is really fascinating. Taking one plant can prolong life by 200 years.

“So, there are people on Xinxing’s side who are going crazy, and a life span of two hundred years is equivalent to two new births for ordinary people, but the old guy in the chaebol, the head of the Institute of Life Research, etc., are all going crazy, all in action.”

Wang Xuan’s mood was indeed fluctuating, but he soon became vigilant again. This old man loves “fishing”. Now, shouldn’t he have a good idea again?

“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 now have a lot of ideas. It’s not like our era, they are all pure and good teenagers. You, think too much.” The old colleague shook his head, then suddenly pulled the fishing rod, and finally caught a… turtle .

“Go, what’s the mess, I’m fishing!” The old man took off the turtle and threw it away. In his words, this thing was just released not long after seeing it, half-dead, not a supplement.

“The number of places to go to Xinxing is very tight, young people, you have to work hard.” When he was about to go back, an old colleague said this.

However, since listening to him say these things, Wang Xuan has been a little wary of him, and he is a little muttered, even if he wants to go to Xinxing, it is better to bypass his old colleagues.

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

“Study the Taoist Tibetans during the day and practice the old arts at night. This kind of life is not bad. I will consider going to the new star after a while. I will see if I can find the feather stone recently.”

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

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

“There is a mountain over there at my house, there seems to be some legends, it seems to be 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, but he could go to the mountain when he got home.

The plan could not keep up with the changes. On this night, Wang Xuan had a nightmare. He dreamed of a woman with white clothes and red shoes, with long hair scattered, 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 old training, and he has never experienced nightmares, but today is a little weird.

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

He realized that something had happened, that he was in big trouble, that he never believed it, but the reality was that once he fell asleep, he would dream of the woman.

“It looks like I won’t be able to go home tomorrow.” He couldn’t figure out what was going on himself, he didn’t want to go back rashly, he seemed to have something bad on him.

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 is very solemn, but he doesn’t believe it, because as a senior explorer, he has personally experienced some abnormal events, and he still can’t explain it.

“Don’t worry, I’ll have someone send you a talisman later on. It was drawn by an old Taoist who lived for more than a hundred years. It’s very useful.”

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

However, in the middle of the night, that disturbing and strange phenomenon reappeared, and the so-called Taoist talisman paper burned directly, almost setting Wang Xuan’s quilt and his hair on fire, leaving him staring helplessly.

In the second half of the night, the situation got worse. After finally falling asleep, he was awakened by an icy chill. He felt that there was something in his arms. His body was covered with hair, and a pair of terrifying eyes were open, staring at him!
