After nearly a month of journey, Huang Donglai finally returned to Shuzhong Huangmen with Lin Yuancheng and Tyrell.
Unlike when they rushed to Guangzhou before, because they were not in such a rush on the return trip, and their manpower was not as large as when they went there, for the sake of safety, the three of them took a slight detour to avoid the Miao border area.
Of course, the so-called "for safety's sake" is also relative.
Youdao is a person wandering in the world, how can he not get stabbed? They have come here all the way, and they have done a lot of things like shouting when they see injustice on the road, but because there is nothing major in this paragraph, what about us storytellers?
That is to say, we should pay attention to the details and summarize them appropriately, and let them pass by.
And this "strategy" has another advantage, that is, if I suddenly say something you haven't seen before... For example, when Lin Yuancheng and Ling Huxiang went to Beijing for the first time, Xiao Lin challenged him alone in Yaomeng Tower.
The passage where the top ten masters get the title of "Hunyuan Divine Sword"... Then I can say that what happened in the skipped part is very reasonable, right?
Let’s get back to business…
After returning to the Huang Mansion this time, Huang Donglai and Mr. Huang each gave each other several "surprises".
When you see this, someone must be asking, what the hell is a "surprise"?
Then let me tell you and listen...
For Mr. Huang, the thing that "surprised" him was undoubtedly Tyrell, a visitor from a foreign land. Even though Mr. Huang was knowledgeable, he was still in the Ming Dynasty after all, and having such a guest at home was not a surprise to him.
First time.
What makes Mr. Huang "happy" is that Huang Donglai has completed the main purpose of his trip to Guangzhou, which is to "negotiate a cooperation agreement with the Zhenyun Gang in the new era after the leadership change of Green Forest Road".
As for Huang Donglai, his only surprise was that the "box" he left at home was opened.
I think some of you readers still remember that after Lanruo Temple was in danger, Shuangxie obtained the "Four Thieves' Relics". Among them, the relics of "Zhuge Thief" Lan Shuoli was a relic containing the results of his life's research.
Machine box.
This thing had been put aside by Huang Donglai when he returned home in the winter the year before he came (before going to Wawu Mountain to become a disciple). In fact, he himself had almost forgotten about it.
Unexpectedly, when he came back today, Mr. Huang told him that the mechanism on the box had been cracked.
Don’t think that I’m cheating on Mr. Huang. In fact, you can understand this after a little thought, and that’s what it should be. Huang Men is a master of hidden weapons in the martial arts world, and he is well versed in the knowledge of institutions.
In addition to Huangmen's connections in Shu, and if we find some gentlemen who are proficient in Zhouyi mathematics or skilled craftsmen who are good at investigating objects to discuss it together, how could we not be able to open a mere machine box?
In fact, this box has not been solved until recently. The main reason is that Mr. Huang has never solved it seriously before. He just regards solving the box as a pastime like us modern people playing with the Rubik's Cube. He just plays it when he thinks of it.
To play, I can't think of it, he might not touch it for months; if he was very eager to crack the box from the beginning, he might be able to do it in ten and a half days.
Anyway, the box is open, how valuable are the things inside?
The value is really quite big.
This Lan Shuoli, who was nicknamed "Zhuge Pirates", obviously has some real abilities.
The design drawings he hid in this box are all unique "practical inventions", such as smoke bombs, hidden sleeve arrows, poison sacs, flying hook locks... and various methods of making and using blindfolds and supporting tools.
...Let's put it this way, if Kaitou Kidd was born in the modern era, this would be the same.
What's more important is that these things are different from "Taoist arts". Using them does not require any practice; as long as you simply understand how to use them, even a person with poor martial arts or no martial arts can use these things to perform some martial arts.
There are things that high-strength people may not be able to do, and they may even threaten some masters whose strength is far above themselves.
Therefore, after seeing these drawings, Mr. Huang also attached great importance to them.
After Huang Donglai returned home, Mr. Huang immediately discussed with him what to do with these things, and Huang Donglai without hesitation suggested that his father make small-scale samples of the things on the drawings first, and then start the production after getting the actual objects.
Experiment, after accumulating enough experimental data and making certain improvements, mass production will be carried out.
Of course, before reaching the step of "mass production", Huang Donglai will first use his relationship with the court to go to the relevant departments to make some "reports" and "transactions". This will prevent anyone from bringing this matter to them.
The family is labeled as "privately manufacturing arms with the intention of committing rebellion". On the other hand, it can also allow Huangmen, as the "patent party" and "manufacturer", to establish long-term cooperative relationships with some confidential departments of the imperial court...such as Jinyiwei.
In the future, we will provide Jinyiwei with unique special equipment and the like.
If this deal is completed, then the Shuzhong Huangmen, whose family is in decline, will not only return to its peak, but at least make a big turnaround, right?
Mr. Huang was shocked after listening to his son's talk about the plan.
In ancient times, painting cakes of this level gave people a shock comparable to that of "Longzhong Dui". For a moment, Mr. Huang wanted to call his son dad; compared with Huang Donglai's pattern, Mr. Huang and
The little private salt business that Zu Tingfeng cooperated with...what else could it count for? It just barely allowed the "family's decline" to ease.
To make a long story short, after settling the above-mentioned matters and resting at home for a few days, Huang Donglai took Lin Yuancheng and Tyrell out again, and their destination this time was Huang Donglai's Taoist disciple, Xuanqi.
Zong.
Ordinarily speaking, it is not very appropriate for Brother Huang to take two "non-Taoist people" up the mountain without permission.
But he had no choice. If he wanted the veterans to help him arrange Tyrell's future, he had to bring Tyrell with him, and if he brought Tyrell with him, he had to bring "translator" Xiao Lin with him.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! But in fact, there are two things that he does not know at this moment.
First, experienced Taoists do not need any translation, they have ways to communicate with foreigners.
Secondly, Tyrell, strictly speaking, can be regarded as their "comrade", but he does not belong to the Eastern Taoist sect, but to a related organization in the West.
This... may be the so-called fate, or fate.
…………
At noon on the first day of April, Huang Donglai led Lin Yuancheng and Tyrell into the mountain gate of Xuanqi Sect.
Because he cast spells to lead the way, the three of them did not have to climb the "ladder to heaven" and went directly to the top of the mountain and stood in front of the gate of Xuanqi Sect.
Lin Yuancheng and Tyrell were both returning to this place of Qingxiu for the first time. When they saw this fairyland in the clouds and the strange mountains and strange scenery, they were both amazed.
But before they could take a few more glances, a "Xiao Dao" who was in his twenties and had fine features walked out of the mountain gate and arrived in front of them in the blink of an eye.
"Hey! Isn't this the 'Old Immortal'?" Although Miaoyinzi looks like an immortal and has an extraordinary appearance, his speech is very "poor". He and Huang Donglai are not polite at all, "Now
You are very capable. Not only did you cause a big disaster outside, but you also took outsiders up the mountain privately, right?"
"Uh... Master, Dong Lai wishes to greet you." Even though the other party was trying to make excuses, Huang Dong Lai bowed respectfully to the Master before replying, "You don't know something, these two are both
…”
"...'our own people'?" Miaoyinzi didn't even wait for Brother Huang to finish what he said, before he added those three words and immediately sneered, "Ah...'Old Immortal', our Xuanqi Sect
You have the final say, right? Your 'own people' are our own people in the whole sect?"
"Then how dare I~" Huang Donglai smiled coquettishly, "But with our Xuanqi Sect's family tradition of helping the world, and your righteous character, Master, I guess you won't mind treating this Tyrell brother a little bit.
A helping hand, right?"
"Hey~ Put on a high hat for me? Lay a secret trap on me? Make me push you even if I want to?" Miao Yinzi raised her eyebrows and asked three questions in a row. After asking, she added, "You are not here when you are bragging."
Did you go through it in your head first? Is our sect the kind of style you mentioned? Don’t you still know how lazy the master and senior brothers are? Let me tell you, the bottom line of our Xuanqi Sect is that it will be struck by thunder if it is not
Don’t take the initiative to meddle in other people’s business when your head is busy.”
Miaoyinzi's words were indeed very explicit, but Huang Donglai was very thick-skinned and was still trying to persuade him: "No... Master, I have already brought this person here..."
"Well...Brother Huang, if it's inconvenient, actually we..." At this moment, Lin Yuancheng couldn't stay any longer.
Although before going up the mountain, Huang Donglai also told Lin Tai and others about Xuanqi Sect and his master's situation, after actually experiencing the teachings, the scene was still a bit too shocking.
Not to mention anything else, when these two guys meet, one calls each other Master, and the other calls each other "Old Immortal". They say three sentences at once, and argue with each other after two sentences. What the hell are you here? Are you here to learn Taoism?
Or are you studying cross talk?
"Eh? You are a kid, why are you interrupting me?" Unexpectedly, Miaoyinzi refused to do it and turned to Lin Yuancheng and said, "Humph! You want to leave after you're here?"
Lin Yuancheng was panicking now.
See what this means... Tyrell and I can't leave yet? What are we doing?
"Don't think I don't know. When it came to the 'Thirteen Dead Animals' thing, you two had a share, right?" Miaoyinzi immediately added.
As soon as he heard this sentence, Lin Yuancheng understood. It seemed that the exorcist Liang Jingxuan was quite detailed when he came to complain, at least he did not leak their names.
"Master, what you said is wrong." Huang Donglai corrected him at this time, "Did we stab him? To put it bluntly, it's all the fault of that bitch Sun Yixie, who is as timid as a mouse and will act like a chicken when encountering the slightest situation.
The frightened turtle will beat up our teammates as soon as he turns around..."
"Okay, okay, you can tell the leader this, don't bother me." Miaoyinzi interrupted, "I'm coming to pick you up at the door now just to take you there on the order of senior brother, the leader.
meet him."
"Ah? The leader wants to see us?" Huang Donglai also knew that Fudozi was very capable, but when he suddenly said he wanted to see them, he was still a little bit shy, "Master... what's going on? Can you tell me something?"
"I don't know." Mianyinzi immediately said these three words in a very impatient tone. As he spoke, he turned around and took a step forward, beckoning the three of them to follow him, "But if
My words..." But the master is a master after all, so he couldn't help but remind his disciple, "... Disciples like you who cause trouble must be served by 'sect rules'."
