When Zhang Chi saw him take out the Canopy Ruler, he believed what he just said. At least this Canopy Ruler should contain magic power, but it was a pity that he had no magic power and could not activate it.
Zhang Guofu handed the canopy ruler to Zhang Chi: "This peach wood stick was always tied around your waist by your grandfather. He said it could ward off evil spirits and eliminate disasters, but three years ago..."
He sighed. The peach wood stick in his eyes was not a mascot to ward off evil spirits. When his parents went on a trip with his brother and sister-in-law, something happened to the whole family. Only Zhang Chi escaped.
It seems that this peach wood stick can only bless him. In this case, just give him the peach wood stick and continue to bless him.
Zhang Chi took the Canopy Ruler and was even more excited than when he received the 20,000 yuan from his aunt just now. Although he didn't know how much power this Canopy Ruler had, he also knew that this magic weapon was extremely precious and might really be his ancestor.
It was passed down from a certain generation of heavenly masters.
Today's meal was not in vain, and I got a lot of treasures.
Zhang Guofu is planning to rewrite his family tree in a while. Zhang Chi won the first place in liberal arts in the college entrance examination and was admitted to Shuimu. This kind of important event that honors his ancestors is certainly worthy of a special mention.
This dinner was very pleasant. Zhang Daxian got 20,000 yuan and a canopy ruler. Zhang Guofu got a share of the honor. Qin Xiangmei invested in the future. Zhang Qingguo was encouraged. The whole family got what they needed. This meal was considered worthwhile.
Peaceful and cheerful.
At half past nine, Zhang Chi said goodbye and left. Originally, Zhang Guofu was going to let him stay at home for one night, but Zhang Chi declined his kindness. If he really stayed, everyone would be uncomfortable. Relatives also need to be careful when getting along with each other.
until.
On the way back to the hotel, we passed Huang Chunli's old house. After the fire, the two houses belonging to Huang Chunxiao were turned into ruins and were razed to the ground soon after. All construction waste has been removed, and renovations have not yet begun.
Zhang Chi heard Lin Daiyu mention that Lin Chaolong rejected many building plans and finally decided to renovate here, using the demolished building materials to restore the original appearance of the place to the maximum extent. This was also so that one day Huang Chunli would wake up and find that her home was still there.
exist.
From this point of view, Lin Chaolong and his wife are also people who value love and justice.
A wall had been built around it, the gate was locked, and the open space inside was unguarded. Zhang Chi suddenly had the idea of going in and taking a look. He climbed over the wall and found that the ruins inside had been cleared away, and two holes had been dug out from the old site of the house.
It’s a big pit. In more than a month, this land has been overgrown with wild grass. Wild fires can’t be burned away, and spring breezes blow again. The vitality of mortals is not even comparable to that of grass and trees.
Looking at the three feet of ground dug in front of him, Zhang Chi couldn't help but think that Lin Chaolong had people do all this. He still remembered Huang Chunxiao's attempt to induce Huang Chunli to hand over the prescription. Did the couple still not give up?
Zhang Chi sat down on a foundation stone that had not been removed. He originally planned to follow Lin Daiyu to visit Huang Chunli in the afternoon, but Zhong Xiangnan accidentally betrayed him and offended Lin Daiyu. He probably will not pay attention to him in the near future.
The fire caused heavy losses. Not only did the black-shelled alchemy furnace fall into Lin Daiyu's hands, but he also had 80 pills that he had not taken away. Those pills were rich in ingredients of Tongqiao fruit. Using those pills
Refined at least four Tongqiao pills.
He only took one Acupoint-opening pill, and he counterattacked from the last place in Beichen No. 1 Middle School to the provincial liberal arts champion. If he could successfully refine and take all the Acupoint-opening pills, how powerful would he be?
Dark clouds covered the stars and the moon, and the wind suddenly picked up. Zhang Chi looked up at the night sky without a single star. It was estimated that a heavy rain was coming. The current weather forecast was really unbelievable. When he went out today, he checked it specifically.
When we looked at the weather, the forecast said it would be sunny to cloudy.
When Zhang Chi was about to leave before it started to rain, he noticed a light flashing in the grass. When he looked closer, he saw a purple-gold bug, as big as the cap of his thumb.
Zhang Chi recognized this thing as the Purple Electric Alchemy Bug. In the past, he could often see it in the Tushita Palace. This kind of bug likes gold, but is also afraid of the true fire of Samadhi. Usually, if they catch this bug, they will refine it again.
Refining the pure gold it stole.
Zhang Chi is a little puzzled. Logically speaking, this insect is a heavenly spiritual creature, so how can it appear in the mortal world? It seems that there are still a lot of immortal roots and auras in the mortal world. Otherwise, these spiritual creatures cannot be nurtured, and it is impossible for heavenly materials to appear on earth.
precious.
The purple electric alchemy insect crawled in the grass, and then got into the wormhole. He thought to himself that the appearance of this insect here proves that there should be fine gold in this area.
He was overjoyed, and there was a rumble of thunder. Zhang Chi did not bring any digging tools, and only carried a fruit-peeling knife. He used the knife to expand the wormhole, and the purple electric alchemy bugs had already sensed his presence and crawled inside.
is getting faster and faster.
Zhang Chi had only been digging for more than ten minutes when it began to rain. He had already turned off his phone and sealed it with a plastic bag in advance, so he was not afraid of the rain. Because he did not retrieve the alchemy furnace in time last time, a lot happened in the middle.
Zhang Chi has learned a lot from the twists and turns this time, and he cannot give up halfway.
It rained heavily. Although it turned Zhang Chi into a drowned rat, it also helped him moisten the soil, making it easier to dig. After digging for about half an hour, the blade of the knife hit a rock-like hard object.
Unable to move the stone, Zhang Chi braved the rain and found a piece of rebar nearby. He inserted the rebar into the gap in the stone and used all his strength to pry it loose. After removing the stone, he found a porcelain altar underneath.
There was a glittering golden light around the porcelain altar, but dozens of purple electric alchemy bugs were lying there motionless. Zhang Chi fiddled with them with the tip of his knife and found that they were dead.
The Purple Lightning Alchemy Insects are most afraid of water. Originally, the cave could be sheltered from wind and rain, but Zhang Chi dug the entrance of the cave so much that rainwater poured in and drowned all the dozens of spiritual insects.
Zhang Chi secretly sighed at his guilt. He collected the corpses of purple electric alchemy bugs and prepared to take them away. Judging from the appearance of these bugs, it was clear that they were full of fine gold, and a lot of essence could be extracted from their bodies.
gold.
Zhang Chi carefully took out the porcelain jar. The porcelain jar was about the same size as the three kilograms of daughter's red outside. Zhang Chi shook it carefully and there was a gurgling sound inside. It was probably not liquid.
Zhang Chi restored the dug hole to its original appearance, and under the cover of the storm, returned to the hotel with the porcelain altar.
Under the light, the porcelain altar looked ordinary. Zhang Chi felt that this thing should have come from the same workshop as the porcelain bottle that Liang Qing got when he went to defraud him. The porcelain altar was sealed with beeswax. After peeling off the beeswax, the bottle mouth was wrapped with raw tape and untied.
Tape, and a layer of cork inside.
Zhang Chi unscrewed the cork, and a spicy smell came from inside. He tipped the bottle mouth down and rolled out a few longan-sized wax pellets.
Zhang Chi opened one of them. The wax pill was wrapped in tinfoil. When he opened the tinfoil, he found moisture-proof oil paper inside, and tissue paper inside the oil paper. The core content wrapped in layers was a moonstone.
Zhang Chi realized that he had really picked up a treasure tonight. The porcelain jar contained precious materials used to make elixirs and medicines. If it fell into the hands of ordinary people, it would not be regarded as a treasure, but in the hands of Zhang Chi, it might be used.
It has a great effect. I wonder if this is what Lin Chaolong is looking for?
Zhang Chi did not check the contents one by one. This porcelain altar should have been left by Huang Chunli's father, Mr. Huang. Mr. Huang had stored it very well. It is best to keep it as it is until better storage conditions are available.
He temporarily soaked those purple electric alchemy bugs in Erguotou, and he currently did not have the appropriate tools at hand to refine them.
Lin Daiyu received a call from Zhang Chi in the past two days. When she saw this guy's name, she became furious. Lin Daiyu simply hung up. However, Zhang Chi also had his own way and used a text message to send a sincere apology.
Xin, Lin Daiyu knew him somewhat well and knew that there was actually another purpose behind his sincere apology.
The purpose was to coax the incense burner back from her, rather than to sincerely apologize for his deception.
To be fair, this incense burner cannot be compared to the exquisite ones. The material is probably ordinary bronze. I don't know whether it is because of its age or because it is rich in impurities. It looks dark and the workmanship is a bit clumsy.
Apart from anything else, any incense burner found in Lin Daiyu's house would be countless times more beautiful than it. However, as Lin Daiyu looked at it for a long time, it became more and more pleasing to the eye.
She lit a stick of water agarwood and wondered why Zhang Chi valued this incense burner so much. What was so special about it? Or was it really as he said, because the incense burner was a souvenir left to him by his aunt?
Lin Daiyu didn't believe his reasons. This guy was a liar, a big liar who told lies.
The message rang, Zhang Chi stopped calling, and Lin Daiyu didn't answer anyway, so the guy changed to bombarding with messages. He didn't directly ask Lin Daiyu to fulfill her promise and return the incense burner. In addition to apologizing, he just wanted to go
Visit your master, Huang Chunli, Lin Daiyu’s aunt.
Thinking of her aunt, Lin Daiyu felt sad. She went to visit her aunt again today. Experts said that her aunt may never wake up and can only remain in her current vegetative state.
Her mother's voice came from outside, and Lin Daiyu stood up and opened the door to invite her in.
Huang Chunxiao was not in a good mood today because someone on the expert team said something that should not have been said, saying that Huang Chunli's current situation was no different between alive and dead, and suggested that they consider whether to let this state continue.
Huang Chunxiao knew that the other party was suggesting giving up treatment. She was so angry that she scolded the so-called expert on the spot. She said that as long as she could save her sister, she was willing to pay any price, not to mention that the family was not short of money at all. In this world
She only has one younger sister, and she will not give up as long as there is still a glimmer of hope.
Huang Chunxiao said: "Xiaoyu, have you considered going to Europe to study?"
Lin Daiyu was stunned for a moment. Not long after she got Shuimu's admission notice, her mother asked such a question again. She shook her head and said: "I have no such plan for the time being, and the moon in foreign countries may not be round. In terms of biology alone,
It is said that water and wood are also top-notch in the world."
"But it's always good to go on a study tour." In fact, when her daughter was in junior high school, Huang Chunxiao had the idea of sending her daughter out, but she had no choice but to give it up because of her husband Lin Chaolong's objections. Now it seems that her husband's decision may not always be the right one.
, although his original intention was good, he did not consider his daughter's growth and the changes in the center during the growth process.
"Mom, do you really want to send me away?"
"Don't you still have to go out sooner or later?"
Lin Daiyu saw that her mother was hiding something in her heart, and smiled and said: "If I go out, will you go with me?"
In the past, Huang Chunxiao would definitely go with her daughter to study with her, but that was not possible now. Her sister had turned into a vegetative state. How could she do it without her family around to take care of her? She couldn't rest assured.
Huang Chunxiao said: "Don't you dislike me interfering with your freedom all day long? Now I can't leave in this situation."
Lin Daiyu said: "Mom, is there something wrong with you? Don't hide anything, just tell me."
Huang Chunxiao started to speak but stopped.
"If you didn't tell me, I would have gone to bed."
"Then you have to promise me first not to be angry."
Lin Daiyu laughed: "Mom, why are you hesitating like a child? I promise you, I will never be angry."
"I heard that Zhang Chi was admitted to Mizuki?"
Lin Daiyu heard her mother mention Zhang Chi's name and already guessed what she wanted to say, and said lazily: "Is it any wonder that his grades are so good and he got into Shuimu?"
"Did he choose Mizuki because of you?"
Lin Daiyu was a little dumbfounded: "Shuimu is not our family's favorite place. It's up to others to choose where they want to go. Mom, what do you want to say? Don't hide it, tell me all your problems. I'm in a good mood today, I promise.
Ask questions and answer questions.”
Huang Chunxiao saw that her daughter was really not angry, which proved that she was in a good mood. This matter had been pressing in Huang Chunxiao's heart for a long time. Her husband meant to wait and see what happens, but Huang Chunxiao really didn't have that good patience. She nodded and said:
"Is that Zhang Chi pursuing you?"
Lin Daiyu shook her head without thinking.
"I can see that he seems to be very attentive to you."
Lin Daiyu couldn't help but laugh: "Did you get it wrong? He is attentive to me? He is always against me."
"This is also a way to chase girls. Do you understand, playing hard to get?" Huang Chunxiao has been there. Men have many different ways of pursuing girls, and she understands this very well.
Lin Daiyu smiled and asked: "Mom, was this how my dad chased you back then?"
Huang Chunxiao said: "How can he compare with your dad? I'm not biased against him, I don't like his looks anyway." When Lin Chaolong was young, he was excellent in both character and study, and he was definitely a school leader.
Lin Daiyu hugged her mother's shoulders and said: "Mom, you are overthinking. Zhang Chi and I are just ordinary classmates. I assure you that I have no other thoughts about him, and I don't like his looks.
"
When Huang Chunxiao heard what her daughter said, she immediately felt relieved. Her daughter shouldn't have such bad taste. With their family background and her daughter's own conditions, they would have to find a handsome and handsome young talent of equal caliber.
That boy Zhang Chi has a very frowny face, and his character is not very good either.
Putting aside her worries, Huang Chunxiao decided to tell the story of her encounter with Zhang Chi that day. She told the story of how she accidentally saw Zhang Chi taking a girl to a hotel to book a room.
When Lin Daiyu heard what she said, her pretty face suddenly darkened. She let go of her mother and said, "Even if you don't like others, don't talk behind their backs. This is related to a person's reputation."
