Lu Cheng returned to Daicheng first, stayed at home for three days, and then went to Quancheng with Jiang Qiuyun.
The days of gods are over, and now we have to be common people.
Sunrise and sunset, life goes on!
The new semester is about to begin!
No one has lived in it for a month and a half, so there is not much dust floating around the house in Qingquan Villa.
They spent half a day cleaning the room.
Lu Cheng asked again: "Do you want to hire a part-time worker?"
Jiang Qiuyun still refused: "We are so young,
You have arms and legs, so what kind of hourly job do you need?"
Lu Cheng smiled and said: "Asking for housekeeping services can also be regarded as stimulating consumption."
"No need. Your home already has a washing machine, dishwasher, dryer, smart security, fantasy lights, central air conditioning, smart curtains, and background music. Just buy a sweeping robot."
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
The next day, Lu Cheng went to meet his mentor Huo Mingan.
Huo Mingan's attitude towards him was still the same, a little cold, but it couldn't be said to be bad.
Lu Cheng politely presented the gift: "Teacher,
This is what I want,
Several bottles of Zhangye's yellow rice wine are said to be made with sorghum barley as the wine base, glutinous rice as the base material, and dozens of traditional Chinese medicines such as Angelica sinensis, tangerine peel, tangerine peel, safflower and so on. It is a drink with low sugar content and rich nutrition.
Contains seventeen kinds of amino acids that are essential for the human body. I hope you will be healthy in your old age."
Huo Mingan nodded lightly: "Let it go. In the first year, you should take classes well and earn enough credits, and then come back to me."
So Lu Cheng said goodbye and went to the graduate school to report.
A three-year graduate student, the first year is mainly about basic courses, and the next two years are clinical, doing scientific research, and writing papers. So he rarely sees Huo Mingan in the first year.
Take a basic course,
Just listen with your ears,
Just like undergraduate students.
Most students live on campus, and Lu Cheng goes home after class.
In addition to practicing, he still has one hundred and fifty carefully selected rough jade stones that he has not yet cut!
On the afternoon of September 4, he drove to the Zhuangyuan Pen Factory in the eastern suburbs of Quancheng and got six boxes of brushes from the pen maker Tang Cheng, with 5 brushes in each box.
Pen used for couplets and list plaques.
Tang Cheng was full of praise, a bit like Lao Wang selling melons and boasting: "This is the best-made pen in my life. It is considered the peak of my state. The key is that the wolf hair you provide is very good. I let our shop try it."
The master pen master wrote a few words, and the master master said that these pens have round and healthy tips, which are even better than the treasures left by our store a hundred years ago!"
Lu Cheng asked: "What is 'pointed, round and healthy'?"
Tang Cheng explained: "The tip refers to the point of the pen that can be narrowed when the pen hairs are gathered together. Qi means that the tip of the pen is dipped in water and flattened, and the hair on the end of the pen is neat and uneven. Round, around the belly of the pen, the pen tips are full and round. p>
Cone-shaped,
Not flat or thin. It should be strong, the bristles should be elastic and easy to gather when spread out, and the writing power should be strong.
'Point, round and healthy' is not the most important thing. The key is that as long as you pick up these pens, you will feel full of energy, as if you entered an air-conditioned room in the summer and a cool air poured in from the top of your head. It feels so good! p>
The old master said that using it to write can bring out extraordinary strength.
The old master we hired is calligrapher Xu Zhenchi from Quancheng Painting and Calligraphy Academy.
He wants me to ask you if you can match a set of pens, and he is willing to pay a high price of 200,000 yuan!"
Lu Cheng smiled and said: "Forget it about this batch. I still have some wolf cents in my hand, and I would like to ask you to make another batch. I can leave a set for Mr. Xu for the next batch, and we will discuss the price then."
"Did you bring the wolf hair?"
"No, I need to prepare special bamboo. Without that kind of bamboo, the effect of the brush will be reduced by half."
"By the way, the kind of bamboo you provided is very strange, 10 times stronger than ordinary bamboo. We couldn't cut it with a knife, so we had to use an electric saw to cut it. The bamboo was originally green, and we spent a lot of time
It’s so strong, no matter how you grill it, it will still be green in the end!”
"Ah? Did you burn the green bamboo with fire?"
"It's not about burning, but slowly roasting it two feet apart. It has to be dried, otherwise the pen will easily deform."
"No need to bake it next time, just put it directly into the pen tip."
"Mr. Lu, when will you send me wolf hair again?"
"Wait until I find the green bamboo."
Lu Cheng returned home and took out two boxes of brushes to Jiang Qiuyun: "Here, these two boxes of brushes, one for you and one for your dad."
Jiang Qiuyun opened the box and saw the green pen barrel and the snow-white nib. She was a little curious: "Is this really a magic pen?"
Lu Cheng smiled and said: "It's not really a magic pen, it's just a little bit spiritual. Although it can't be used as a talisman pen, it is suitable for top calligraphers and painters, and they can hopefully use it to enter Taoism."
"Brush, ink, paper and inkstone are the four treasures of the study. Now that we have a pen, what are the other three missing?"
"When you place an order online, just pick up the good stuff and buy some cinnabar and yellow paper."
"What did you buy cinnabar for?"
"Try to see if you can draw symbols."
"Didn't you say that this one won't work?"
"I'm just guessing, I have to try it."
Because Wu Fan from another world only plucked a small amount of long hair from the wolf's tail and threw away the rest of the fur, Lu Cheng didn't know how much spiritual power the newly made pen had. He wanted to try it with cinnabar yellow paper
, this method is commonly used in Taoist temples, and there should be some truth to it.
Moreover, he still has a magic pen in his hand that Wu Fan gave him, so it is necessary to do a few more experiments.
Lu Cheng opened his heavenly aperture and had two seeds in his mind, so he could try to draw his own talisman.
However, there is a lack of monster skins in modern times, so he needs to find other carriers to try. He has tried many kinds of paper before, but he was not a disciple of the witch sect at that time.
For humans in other worlds, the value of witchcraft is multi-faceted, one of which is healing.
Although the big witch and the official don't do much, the two little witches, Wu Fan and Wu Guang, often go out of the witch temple and travel throughout the land where the Laiyi people live to treat diseases of the people of the Laiyi tribe.
Lu Cheng will also take this step in the future.
He is an acupuncturist, has studied the strategies of traditional Chinese medicine, and has learned a lot about it. Maybe he can combine witchcraft and medical skills, which will not only shine in other worlds, but also show miracles in the modern world.
However, there is a big problem here. Modern society does not allow feudal superstition. If you go to a traditional Chinese medicine hospital to burn yellow paper, it would be weird if you don’t get scolded by the patients! As a doctor, if you dare to use witchcraft on patients, you have a medical license.
Do you still want it? If it spreads to the Internet world, wouldn’t it become a laughing stock?
Therefore, even if Lu Cheng learns witchcraft, he cannot easily use it in modern society.
Medicine can cure diseases, and Buddha can help those who are destined.
Lu Cheng wants to be a witch doctor who transcends this world, and doesn't want to be criticized as a magician.
For Lu Cheng, cultivation is the foundation and witch doctor is the purpose. He must first improve his realm, complete the tenth level of martial arts training as soon as possible, and enter the innate realm, so that he can better display the way of witch doctor.
So far, the witch doctor has not taught him the method of drawing talismans, nor has he taught him the skills of witch doctor, because witch doctors are based on drawing talismans. In order to draw talismans, you must at least complete the training of skin, flesh, muscles, and bones. He is still stuck at the fifth level.
In the realm of refining pulses, 10 of the twelve main meridians have been opened, and there are still 2 or 2 that have not been opened. There are also eight extraordinary meridians. When all eight meridians are opened, the realm of refining pulses can be considered complete. p>
Lu Cheng began to swallow the "Marrow Cleansing Pill".
He gave a marrow-cleansing pill to Jiang Qiuyun: "Here, I'll give you a magic pill. Eat it."
Jiang Qiuyun took it and looked at it, then asked: "Where did this come from?"
Lu Cheng smiled slightly and said: "I prepared it myself. It contains thousand-year-old ginseng, ten-thousand-year-old tortoise shells, swimming fish from the Mariana Trench, and snowdrops from the top of Mount Everest!"
Jiang Qiuyun stretched out her hand and pinched him, scolding: "You are talking nonsense! What are the benefits of taking this medicine?"
"Cut the hair and cleanse the marrow, and replenish vitality."
"Then I really ate it?"
"Well, swallow it quickly."
"Could it be 'Ma Fei Powder'? You can't move after eating it, and you can do whatever you want?"
"I..." Lu Cheng felt itchy hearing this. When he saw her cheeks that could be blown away, her bright red and moist lips, her hair covering her ears, and her slender white neck, he felt weak all over, and he quickly gritted his teeth.
Turn around and go to the basement to cut rocks!
Jiang Qiuyun stuck out her tongue, chuckled twice, and then swallowed the Marrow Cleansing Pill.
After eating, she felt warm all over, her blood was boiling, and her whole body was filled with strength!
She quickly practiced the "Witch God Fist" and practiced it three times in one breath!
After finishing the exercise, I saw that my snow-white arms were covered with a layer of black ash, and my face seemed to be covered with a mask. I stretched out my hand and rubbed a little black ash on my neck!
"Ah! Why are you so dirty? I shower every day!"
She rushed into the bathroom and used shower gel three times in a row. It took a long time to wash away the dirt on her body.
At this time, she felt comfortable all over, and every one of the hundreds of thousands of pores in her body was transparent and comfortable, just like eating ginseng fruit.
She looked in the mirror and found that her skin was more delicate and smooth, her cheeks were white and rosy, and even her facial features had become more compact and natural, and her appearance seemed to have improved a lot.
The beauty of a woman cannot be described in words. Although the facial features and figure are important, the look from the inside out is even more important.
What is splendor? It is the spiritual light that shines from the depths of the liver, heart, spleen, lungs, kidneys, and marrow sea. This spiritual light can communicate with heaven and earth, bringing harmony and nature. Every move, every frown, every smile, is like a heavenly being or a fairy. This way
The most attractive woman.
That kind of "beautiful woman" with painted eyebrows or even plastic surgery can only fool a stupid boy who has never seen the world, and fall in the eyes of the cultivator Lu Cheng, or in the eyes of other Taoists, even in the eyes of the old pervert of Fengyue.
, all look vulgar, like clay sculptures decorated with gold powder.
Jiang Qiuyun felt happy, walked to the basement, and tried to lift the barbell.
She has to do a set of movements every day. Yesterday she could only lift 330 kilograms. Today, after taking the elixir, her strength increased greatly and she could lift 400 kilograms at once!
Later, she got on the treadmill again and found that her running speed had improved a lot.
If she were allowed to participate in the Olympics, she could win the gold medal without using the popular charm!
She walked to Lu Cheng and saw him still sitting there cutting stones. She hugged his waist carefully and asked, "What kind of elixir did you give me? I just took it, and the effect is very good."<
/p>
Lu Cheng stopped the rotating grinder, turned around, buried his head in a soft and high place, breathed in the inexplicable fragrance, and said: "This is called 'Marrow Cleansing Pill'. Taking it can change your body, and the smell on your body will be better."
It smells good."
Jiang Qiuyun: "Is it the 'Marrow Cleansing Pill' in the fairy tale?"
"It's not the same, but it has the same purpose. You can't eat this thing once and then it's over. It's best to take one pill every month. Unfortunately, I don't have much on hand, it's only enough for the two of us for a year."
"One pill is enough for me."
"Don't worry about it for now. Let's talk about it after we finish eating."
The two just hugged each other and did not take any further action.
After a while, Jiang Qiuyun pushed him away and said, "I'm going to watch TV. "White-Headed Man Under the Lamp" is on. I'm going to see how the filming goes."
Lu Cheng asked: "Which station will broadcast it first?"
"Mango tv."
"You were not invited to participate in the promotion program?"
"Please, I didn't go, the main actors all went."
With the launch of the TV series, Zhang Yuehua, the actress who plays the heroine, has transformed from a has-been movie star to a popular movie star, winning the favor of many young people. Her fans have grown rapidly, from 25 million to 110 million in just half a month.
!In the female star rankings, she suddenly jumped from 28th to third place!
And Jiang Qiuyun has also changed from a "well-known online female writer" to a "famous female writer". Even though she only changed a few words, the difference is still huge.
The level of "famous" is relatively low. Cats and dogs can be regarded as well-known writers if they are a little famous and have 10,000 fans.
The level of "famous" is relatively high, and even if you don't have tens of millions of fans, you are not considered famous.
Jiang Qiuyun originally only had 3 million fans. After the TV broadcast, her number of fans suddenly increased tenfold, reaching 30 million!
Although these TV audiences are not the same thing as novel readers, many people still go back to read novels.
As a result, online subscriptions have grown, from "The White-Headed Man Under the Lamp" to "The Wind in the Yellow Plum Rain" and then to the new book "Red Leaves at Dawn".
Yes, Jiang Qiuyun took advantage of Lu Cheng's participation in the Olympics to write a new book. The public chapter has 150,000 words for free, and the subsequent text requires a subscription.
With the start of the TV broadcast, the book's initial 24-hour order reached an astonishing 180,000!
What is this concept?
180,000 subscriptions, 8 cents per thousand words, equivalent to 14.4 yuan per word, and 10,000 words updated every day, which is 144,000 yuan! Jiang Qiuyun gets 70%, plus rewards, etc., she can get 120,000.
Moreover, Jiang Qiuyun’s coding speed is very fast, 20,000 to 30,000 words per hour. Writing 3 hours a day is 70,000 to 80,000 words. If they are all sent out, the income will be nearly one million a day. This is only a 24-hour subscription. As time goes by,
If extended, the average booking will increase.
Coupled with the subscription of the first two books, the daily income from the three books is very considerable.
However, instead of updating 80,000 words every day, she submitted the manuscript to the editor and asked the editor to control the speed of publication.
In order to maximize profits, the editor only updates 4 chapters every day, each chapter has 5,000 words, which is 20,000 words. The rest will be kept as manuscripts and released slowly.
In this way, Jiang Qiuyun does not need to code like a slave every day, even if she takes a few days off, it doesn't matter.
But writing a book requires state of mind. If you want to integrate that special artistic conception, it is best to write continuously. For this reason, Jiang Qiuyun sometimes codes for 10 hours on weekends and can write 250,000 words a day!
She didn't feel very tired because she practiced "White Ape Arm" to make her arm muscles flexible and strong; she practiced "Sitting in a Well Frog" to make her waist muscles steady and firm; she practiced "Witch God Fist" to make her arm muscles flexible and strong.
My mind is clearer, my thoughts are flowing like a spring, and falling from the sky like a waterfall; in addition, after the heavenly orifice is opened, the article is written by nature, and it is obtained by a skillful hand.
