The next day, Chang Xing asked Master Xiao to continue purchasing wood.
"Boss Chang, you are Xucheng's brother-in-law, so let me tell you one more thing. It's a bit of a loss if you harvest this wood like you do. Take mahogany as an example, although it looks better than ordinary wood and the material is solid.
But the previous price was less than 10% more than ordinary wood. Now it is completely unnecessary for you to directly double the purchase price. Even if you only pay 10% more, they will rush to send the materials to us.
." Master Xiao said.
"Master Xiao, what you said is very reasonable. But I have my own plan for doing this. I have the connections. It is a little expensive to collect, but the acquisition speed is very fast. By the way, I can acquire some more precious wood. Like
Although wood like red sandalwood is rare, we have received some. I will have great use for these wood in the future," Chang Xing said.
"Since you said so, I won't say anything else. I will take good care of the quality of the ingredients." Master Xiao said.
"Master Xiao, thank you very much. I feel more at ease with you watching over me," Chang Xing said.
After Chang Xing took care of the things in the shop, he returned home. The master had just come to Donghai, and Chang Xing was worried that he would not be able to adapt. After all, everyone in Xianjiqiao was an acquaintance, but here he was unfamiliar with the place.
When Chang Xing returned to his residence, he found that there were many children about the same age as Chang Qing in the yard. The monkey king guards were throwing melon seed shells at them.
But instead of being annoyed by the behavior of the monkey king's guards, these children were all very happy.
"Monkey, come down and play with us. We have a lot of delicious food here. I have White Rabbit toffee here, do you want to eat it?"
"I have biscuits here. If you come down and play with us, I will give them to you."
…
Chang Qing was very unwelcome to this group of uninvited guests: "You should leave quickly. My Monkey King won't play with you, he only plays with me!"
Chang Qing regards Sun Wukong as his own pet and does not want to share it with anyone.
"We can give him food, what can you give him?" the children asked.
Chang Qing said: "Sun Wukong doesn't like your things at all. He only likes to eat the peaches I give him."
Chang Qing ran into the house, took a peach and ran over.
When the monkey king guard saw the peach, he immediately jumped down from the tree and took the peach from Chang Qing's hand. He gnawed it with great gusto, and even the little kids on the side looked at it.
I want to drool.
"Are you watching? Sun Wukong likes the peaches I gave him, not your messy snacks." Chang Qing said.
"I will bring peaches from home when I get back." A child ran away and went back to get the peaches.
The other little brats are also ready to make a move.
"Don't waste your efforts. Sun Wukong is so picky and won't like to eat your peaches at all. He only likes to eat my peaches," Chang Qing said.
"Why? You lied."
"Why did I lie to you? That's how it is." Chang Qing said. Chang Xing walked into the yard and ignored these little brats.
"Dad, are you back?" Chang Qing ran over immediately when he saw Chang Xing coming back.
"Where is the master?" Chang Xing asked.
"Master went out for a walk alone. He said he would be back after a meeting," Chang Qing said.
"You kid! Why don't you follow Master? Master has only been in Donghai for a few days? What if you get lost?" Chang Xing said with some worry.
"But Master said he is very familiar with this place. He is just strolling nearby and will be back soon," Chang Qing said.
"You know how to play." Chang Xing knew that Chang Xing was still young, so he just scolded him and said nothing.
Wu Wanyi reported to school the next day after returning to Donghai. She had missed a summer vacation without studying much, and was worried that she would fall too far behind her classmates in study.
"I'll leave it to you at home. It's Master's first time back in the East China Sea and he's unfamiliar with everything. You take the time to take Master to drink Changqing and walk around." When Wu Wanyi went to school, she gave Chang Xing a lot of advice.
"Don't worry. I'm at home. Don't be too tired. Come back often to have a toothpaste. The food in school is not very good. You study so hard and you have to keep up with nutrition." Chang Xing said.
Wu Wanyi was very touched by her concern for Chang Xing.
Not two days later, Wu Wanyi came back.
"It seems that the school food is really bad." Chang Xing said with a smile.
"It's not because of this. Something strange happened in the school. Isn't there a woods behind our school? People often go to the woods to study in the morning. But something incredible happened not long ago. A student who often went to that woods disappeared today.
Disappeared. His roommates all confirmed that he did go to the woods in the morning..."
The incident mentioned by Wu Wanyi is spreading in Wu Wanyi's school.
That student has been missing for almost a month. If the student's family hadn't come looking for someone, no one would have noticed it.
Because the student finally appeared in the woods, the school leaders decided to conduct a search to find the person alive and the corpse after death. If this matter is not handled well, there will be big problems. No one was found. No one was found in the woods.
, it’s not a big deal at first, it means that the student may have gone somewhere else.
But yesterday another student disappeared in the woods. This time it was not one student, but two. Three people in their dormitory did morning exercises together. When they came back, one of them suggested a trip to the woods. The fatter one said that he could not run away.
They moved and waited at the foot of the mountain instead of going up together. As a result, after waiting for a long time, they didn't see the two people coming down. I thought that the two people had gone back to the dormitory first, but when they returned to the dormitory, they realized that the two people had not gone back at all. Someone was missing in the woods.
The incident had already spread on campus, so the student quickly thought of the disappearance and reported it to the school.
The school immediately organized a search, but still no clues were found.
"Three of them are missing before school officially starts? Your school is really unlucky," Chang Xing said.
"Actually, there are more than just these three. I heard people say that people have disappeared in that woods before. But no one thought that there was something strange in a small woods. They all thought that the missing people had run away. But now it seems that they
He didn't run away, but disappeared in the woods." Wu Wanyi said.
"Didn't you say that the woods are not big? How come someone is missing?" Chang Xing asked in confusion.
"There are many ways to make a person disappear. But to make a person disappear without a trace like this seems to be the method of a monk. But how can a monk attack ordinary people for no reason?" said the old Taoist.
"If someone spied on the secret, it would not be surprising to kill someone and silence them. But the fact that two serious crimes were committed so long apart is a bit confusing," Chang Xing said.
Chang Xing and Lao Dao looked at each other.
"How about we go to Wanyi School?" Chang Xing said.
The old Taoist immediately said: "I have never transferred to a university before."
"Take me there too?" Chang Qing said.
"No!" Chang Xing and Lao Dao said in unison.
Chang Qing was very angry: "I don't care about it. No matter what, you go to your own business and I'll go do it myself."
"You brat, I'm warning you. This matter is not trivial. Don't do whatever you want, or I'll beat you up!" Chang Xing warned.
Chang Qing saw Chang Xing being so harsh and could only say honestly: "Okay."
Wu Wanyi was a little worried: "Master, Chang Xing, you'd better not go there. The woods have been sealed off by our school now. No one is allowed to enter. You'd better not go there."
"Wanyi, don't worry. We'll be fine. We're not ordinary people." Chang Xing comforted her.
"You know how to show off, this matter is so mysterious, but you still want to go and find out what's going on. Can't you let me worry less?" Wu Wanyi rolled her eyes at Chang Xing.
"This kind of thing is not a big deal for us monks. Let's go and take a look, maybe we can find out something. Otherwise, I wouldn't worry about you studying there," Chang Xing said.
Wu Wanyi knew that she could not stop Chang Xing and Lao Dao, so she could only say: "Then you promise me, even if you see something, you won't act rashly."
"Don't worry. Chang Xing and I will not do anything that we are not sure about." The old Taoist said with a smile.
Chang Qing pouted and thought to himself: "I'm not an ordinary person, so why don't you let me go? I'm even higher than the Master. He only has one Master's Power Talisman, and I have sixteen. If I
Patriarch, please come here, what the hell can do to me? You won’t let me go, and I don’t know how to go secretly?”
Because Chang Qing was worried about being naughty, Chang Xing specially sent him to the Wu family and asked his grandparents to take good care of him. After sending Chang Qing to the Wu family, Chang Qing and Lao Dao followed Wu Wanyi to the hill.
"What are you going to do? This mountain has been sealed and no one is allowed to enter." The security team members guarding there quickly stopped Chang Xing.
"We just take a walk here casually," Chang Xing said.
"Then you'd better not go there. I feel uncomfortable staying here in this damn place."
"Hey, let's leave now." Chang Xing said.
"Chang Xing, why don't you and Master go in? It's too dangerous." Wu Wanyi said.
"It's okay. Wanyi, you go back first. Now that you have found a place, you can go back and do your work. It won't be long here," Chang Xing said.
After Wu Wanyi left, Chang Xing and Lao Dao walked around the woods from a distance.
"Did you see anything?" asked the old Taoist.
"Not yet. But the energy in this forest is very strange. Logically speaking, it shouldn't be like this." Chang Xing said.
The old Taoist took a look, but he really didn't see anything scornful. Alas! He's old. The waves from behind in the Yangtze River push the waves in front, and the waves in front hit the beach.
"If it's weird, that's right." said the old Taoist.
"Master, are you saying that the strangeness of this qi machine may be the reason why people are missing here?" Chang Xing said.
"Does this need to be said? This place has abnormal energy, so there must be something abnormal in the woods! Come on, let's go over and have a look," said the old Taoist.
Chang Xing nodded, turned around and rushed forward.
The old man quickly grabbed Chang Xing and said, "What if you are discovered if you rush over like this? Let's be careful."
"Then cast the invisibility spell." Chang Xing took out a spell, and as soon as it was activated, Chang Xing disappeared immediately. Only those who wear the invisibility-breaking spell can see through it.
The old man didn't take any action and stood there angrily.
"Master, you didn't bring the invisibility talisman?" Chang Xing asked.
"I forgot to bring it." The old Taoist said angrily. I will tell you, in fact, I can't make the invisibility talisman?
Chang Xing handed Lao Dao an invisibility talisman, and Lao Dao disappeared after activating it. The two of them swaggered past the member of the security team who had blocked them from going up the mountain.
Maybe the two people were walking a little too fast, so the member of the security team felt a sudden cold wind blowing by his ears, which shocked him.
Chang Xing and Lao Dao entered the woods.
"Master, someone seems to have arranged a formation here. No wonder I always feel that something is wrong with the energy here." Chang Xing said.
"It seems that people did disappear here before, but where did they go after they disappeared?" asked the old Taoist.
"How do I know? The formations here are very advanced. I have never seen them before. The formations I have learned now are very limited. After all, I have not obtained detailed information in this area, let alone the inheritance of formations. I really don't know about this formation.
It can't be broken." Chang Xing was very interested in the formation arranged here. But he couldn't break it.
"When you came here, you said you could eliminate this hidden danger. Now it won't end well, right?" said the old Taoist.
"How did I know that I would encounter such a formation in this busy city?" Chang Xing said.
"Then what should we do now? How do you plan to deal with it?" asked the old Taoist.
"Put it aside for now. Let's go out first. If I get trapped by this formation, I have no chance of getting out. When I get to Xiangjiang, I'll ask Senior Brother Han to see if he knows what's going on here. Maybe Han
Senior brother has a way to break the formation." Chang Xing said.
The old Taoist nodded: "That's the only way."
Chang Xing and Lao Dao quickly walked out of the formation and showed their whereabouts in a remote place.
The two were about to leave. Chang Xing saw Chang Qing staring at an invisibility charm and about to walk into the woods. He thought that his invisibility could be hidden even from Chang Xing and Lao Dao. He even got carried away and went out of his way to show off his invisibility charm.
Chang Xing walked by and was grabbed by the ear.
"How did you see me?" Chang Qing said in surprise.
"You are so half-assed, but you still want to cover me up?" Chang Xing said with a smile.
"Hey, what's the use of having so many ancestors? Even if you're invisible, your whereabouts will be revealed." Chang Qing complained.
"Don't blame the Patriarch, don't blame the Patriarch," the old Taoist said quickly.
"Dad, please put me down, I haven't gone to the woods to look yet." Chang Qing said.
"What are you looking at? That place is very dangerous. Even my father doesn't dare to take risks there." Chang Xing said.
"Really?" Chang Qing thought his father was omnipotent.
