Before the gunfire, Hua Hexing had already reacted instinctively, as if he had sensed the danger in advance. He suddenly stood up and changed his position, and then a bullet slammed into the horizontal branch where he had just been perched.
The speed of the bullet was faster than the sound, and then he heard the explosion of gunpowder and air bursts in the barrel not far away.
This is not an uninhabited land in the mountains. There is a deserted dirt road 200 meters away, and three open-top jeeps drove up. There was a man sitting in the back of the first open-top off-road vehicle, holding a rifle in his hand. It was just now
He fired the gun.
This man was young and looked to be in his early twenties. He was wearing a floral shirt, large pants, and a gold Buddha plaque hanging around his neck. Except for him, everyone else was wearing military uniforms.
He was able to hit a target two hundred meters away with his seat momentum, and his marksmanship was pretty good. He used a standard rifle instead of an ordinary shotgun.
Sawa country does not ban guns, but there are many restrictions on gun ownership. For standard rifles like this that can be fired both single-shot and continuous, both firearms and ammunition are subject to very strict controls.
This shot woke Hua Hexing out of his dazed state! Why did the other party shoot at him? Because he was a crane, and that person was hunting a crane.
Fangcai Hexing had forgotten who he was, or no longer thought about who he was, but now he had a new question, was he a person or a crane?
He got the answer in just a moment. No matter who he is, he is truly a good person!
When Hua Zhenxing woke up, he did not regain his body, but his eyes became very clear. The young man had already signaled the open-top jeep to stop, stood up and fired again.
Hua Zhenxing waved his wings, and the bullet flew to an unknown direction. The man spat and cursed, then adjusted the trigger and used the burst mode, and shot Hua Zhenxing.
Hua Zhenxing folded his wings, and the bullets smashed the surrounding branches and leaves into a mess, but he himself was unscathed. With his cultivation and the magic methods he mastered, someone could pick up a bullet from a distance of 200 meters.
The rifle still poses no threat.
At this time, the military uniformed attendants in the three vehicles had already opened the door and got out. They all took out their guns and aimed at Hua Zhenxing. This scene was a bit scary.
Hua Zhenxing spread his wings outward, and a dozen feathers flew out. He didn't really pluck out his own hair, it was a feather-shaped light blade condensed with magical power.
The feather blade flew past, and only a cry of panic was heard. The firearms in the hands of those people were cut off silently, and they were broken into two pieces along the barrel and the bolt.
The Crane Swallowing Form taught by Old Man Yang not only allowed Hua Zhenxing to swallow the shape of a white crane, but also included the innate magical power of an unknown crane demon. Hua Zhenxing displayed it at this moment.
He was resting in the canopy of the tree, but was shot at by someone with a gun. Hua Zhenxing also had a temper. He waved his wings and cut the tires and fuel tanks of the three jeeps with invisible wind blades, and then swept them up with a gust of wind.
The man who fired the shot.
Hua Zhenxing found the tallest tree nearby, let the person be picked up by a gust of wind and hung on the tree crown, and then he flew away.
Hua Zhenxing may be grateful to this unexpected shooter. The sudden sound of a gunshot gave him an epiphany-like feeling. This is a state that cannot be achieved by empty talk and must be realized personally.
But this is gratitude in another sense, and it does not prevent him from hanging the other person on the tree.
For the next part of the journey, Hua Zhenxing basically followed a straight line, flying north-east, leaving Indochina and passing through the Beibu Gulf and entering the territory of Dongguo. In order to prevent similar accidents from happening again, he released a bamboo magpie over the
Lead the way.
Regardless of whether he is a human or a crane, he is a true practitioner of Hua Zhenxing. The shape of swallowing a crane can be like a crane flying, but it does not prevent him from doing other things. The bamboo magpie is the weapon control method he is good at, just like releasing a plus companion while flying.
Fly a reconnaissance plane.
It was only at this moment that Hua Zhenxing understood that only in this state could he refine the Xuan Mizhu left behind by the White Crane Demon King and practice the Swallowing Form Technique to the state of "Knowing the Constant".
But this is only the premise of "knowing the usual", and he has not yet reached this state.
Avoiding the wind, rain, lightning, and crowds along the way, when the white crane flew to Wucheng, there happened to be a heavy snowfall. It rarely snows in the south of the Yangtze River in the East, but it does not never snow. Sometimes it rains quite heavily, which happens to be
Let Hua Zhenxing catch up.
A flying white crane was almost invisible in the heavy snow. It flew all the way over Huanxiang Garden. The Jingchenluo Array here was originally open, and even the monks on duty did not notice the arrival of Hua Zhenxing.
An artificial lake was built in the open space in the center of Huanxiang Garden, and there is a three-story building on the island in the artificial lake. The island is protected by a set of stone heads and is invisible to ordinary people. It is the activity place of the Yangyuan Master.
There is also a hexagonal pavilion built on the platform on the roof. Two people are sitting in the pavilion enjoying the snow. There is a small red clay stove on the stone round table in front of them. It would be more perfect if there is a pot on the stove.
Mr. Feng glanced at the sky with fluttering snowflakes and said with a smile: "Old Yang, you seem to have made a miscalculation. Today happens to be the twelfth day of the first lunar month. He has already flown to Wucheng, and he did not cheat along the way, such as taking a flight or something.
"
Yang Tehong snorted: "Why are you in such a hurry, brat? Even if you report a few days late, the school won't punish him!"
Mr. Feng: "It took him five days to understand the swallowing formula and the method of swallowing shapes, and it took another seven days to fly from Yangyuan Valley to Huanxiang Garden. I don't know what you will say later."
Yang Tehong: "My original intention was to persuade him not to be impatient, but I didn't expect this kid to be careless."
Mr. Feng: "It's obviously a task given by you and he handled it perfectly. Do you still want to teach others a lesson? You don't bully children like this!"
In fact, Sima Zhi guessed Old Man Yang's thoughts correctly. In Old Man Yang's view, Huazhenxing would eventually fly from Yangyuan Valley to Wucheng, but it would definitely be too late before the start of the new semester.
Unexpectedly, Hua Zhenxing arrived in Wucheng on the twelfth day of the first lunar month, and he followed the mission instructions meticulously, which was beyond Old Man Yang's expectation.
Yang Tehong originally planned to tell Hua Zhenxing in earnest after he was "late": Many things that happen in reality cannot be done as one wishes. There are too many things in the world that are not subject to personal will. If something cannot be done, it will be done.
Less than.
Only by clearly recognizing this, respecting reality and being down-to-earth can we clearly understand the method and direction of our efforts. We must have both patience and perseverance, one step at a time...
At that time, you can also add a few more bowls of words such as "People need setbacks to grow", "You just encounter too few setbacks, so you lack reflection", "It is impossible for people not to make mistakes, the important thing is the attitude towards mistakes"
Kind of chicken soup for the soul.
This perfectly connects with the last warning of "Don't be impatient". It not only educates the children, but also shows that he is a skilled man and has everything under control!
As a result, Hua Zhenxing arrived at Wucheng at noon on the twelfth day of the first lunar month. Yang Tehong had already prepared it, but it was hard to talk about it anymore. Who could he reason with?
Although he was suspected of being slapped in the face by the facts, Old Man Yang cursed the brat with a hint of pride in his eyes: "This brat is too honest and capable! No matter what I assign, he will do his best to complete it.
.”
Mr. Feng: "You are indeed capable, but who would believe the successor you taught is honest?"
Yang Tehong: "There are also Lao Mo and Xiao Meng. Let's not mention Xiao Meng. Do you dare to say that Lao Mo is not honest?"
Mr. Feng immediately caught the flaw in this sentence: "You finally admitted that you are old and naughty? You swallowed the form of a crane and flew to Wucheng. What kind of useless mission is this!"
At this time, a white crane flew from the heavy snow, landed in the pavilion with its wings folded in a fist, and said with a spiritual thought: "Mr. Feng, Mr. Yang, why are you two here? Are you waiting for me specially?"
Mr. Feng stood up and said with a straight face: "Xiaohua, have you forgotten something?"
Hua Zhenxing turned around on the spot, regained his human form, and put on his clothes and shoes. His movements were so fast, and he also used some blinding techniques. He seemed to have practiced them very well.
Mr. Feng: "Are you going to be a living person?"
Seeing that Mr. Feng seemed a little unhappy, Hua Zhenxing wondered: "What is it? Can you give me some hints?"
Mr. Feng pointed to the small red clay stove on the table and said: "Don't you understand when you see this? I heard that you gathered more than a thousand people for a picnic and ate the demon king meat from Snow Wolf and Xiqu. Old
Yang just blew it to me, how good it tasted!"
Oh, Hua Zhenxing has already reacted. Mr. Feng wanted to say - "It's such an interesting thing and such delicious food, why didn't you call me?"
He hurriedly said: "Mr. Feng, you have misunderstood. I have cast a spell to keep the meat of the Snow Wolf Demon King and the Rhinoceros Demon King fresh and keep it for you. There is no need for you to go all the way to the country of several miles in person."
I will come to Dongguo to make it for you."
At this time, Dan Zicheng took an earthen pot and walked into the Hexagonal Pavilion from the wind and snow. He winked at Hua Zhenxing, put the pot on the stove, and asked Mr. Feng: "The pot is here, what are you going to do?"
What?"
Mr. Feng pointed at Hua Zhenxing and said, "It depends on this master's craftsmanship."
Yang Tehong reminded from the side: "Xiaohua, this is not the shabu-shabu pot like last time. It is a small clay pot with Wucheng characteristics. It pays attention to stewing on low fire all the time. Various side dishes can be added to it while eating...
"
Hua Zhenxing: "I know that I have lived in Wucheng for a year and a half."
Dan Zicheng said obediently: "Mr. Hua, sit down first. I'll prepare some more gluten dumplings, egg dumplings, dried seaweed and so on."
On a small clay stove with a charcoal fire and a large earthenware pot on top, first add some pickled bamboo shoots, dried cabbage, and some soup ingredients. Hua Zhenxing actually carries them with him everywhere, and then use the broken bones of Xiqu to make soup.
Huazhenxing also made Xiqu Minced Pork Recipe on site, which is the main ingredient and looks like cubes of tofu. The snow wolf meat is not the thin slices of shabu-shabu, but is cut into strips with bone slices and has been marinated.
Remove the acid, this is the main ingredient. Simmer over low heat until the flavor is absorbed.
The so-called clay oven pot with Wucheng characteristics emphasizes that the more it is simmered, the more flavorful it becomes, and soup and vegetables can be added at any time. People at the table can drink wine around this pot of food.
Because it was done immediately, you had to wait for a long time before you wanted to use the tachyon. Hua Zhenxing did not use Nanming Lihuo, but I don't know who secretly used this method, and Hua Zhenxing didn't notice it.
If you didn't notice it, how would you know that someone had used Nanminglihuo? Because he knew the heat of the pot!
Sitting in the pavilion, watching the falling snow, and sipping wine by the red clay stove, it felt so comfortable. Mr. Feng and Old Man Yang sat face to face, with Hua Zhenxing and Dan Zicheng accompanying them on both sides.
After a few glasses of wine, Mr. Feng no longer had a straight face, and he felt a little lively. He was obviously happy after drinking. He smiled and said to Hua Zhenxing: "I made a bet with Lao Yang a while ago.
Can you arrive on time today?"
Hua Zhenxing: "Did you lose in the end?"
Dan Zicheng interjected: "No, Mr. Feng won! Senior Yang said you couldn't report to school on time, Mr. Feng said you could arrive today." The title he used was very interesting. He didn't call him "Master" in person.
Like Hua Zhenxing, he is also called Mr. Feng.
Hua Zhenxing: "When did it happen?"
Dan Zicheng: "On the third day of the Lunar New Year, I was also present."
This result surprised Hua Zhenxing. Mr. Feng made a bet with Old Man Yang that it was not Old Man Yang who bet that he could arrive on time? He asked cautiously: "Do you two have a bet?"
Old Man Yang said with a straight face: "Yes, of course! If he wins, I have to do him a favor."
Hua Zhenxing: "What are you busy with?"
Old Man Yang: "Dispose of a batch of second-hand assets!"
Mr. Feng: "Why are you so unprofessional? Is there any second-hand knowledge of land?"
Hua Zhenxing: "Land, where's the land?"
Mr. Feng: "I have a friend. Their family owns a dozen or so farms in the Viking Kingdom of Beiluo, which happen to be connected together. The total area is 180 square kilometers, or about 270,000 acres.
She plans to deal with it as a whole and wants to find a good buyer. However, the world economy is currently in recession, and it is difficult to find a buyer with the ability to buy such a large piece of land at once, and she does not want to suffer a loss and sell it at a low price."
As he spoke, he pulled out a file bag from under his buttocks and said, "Here is the information. Take it and take a look."
Hua Zhenxing wanted to reach out to pick it up, but unexpectedly the bag was intercepted by Old Man Yang in mid-air: "Didn't you let me handle it? Why did you give it to Xiaohua directly?"
Mr. Feng: “Can you eat it?”
Old Man Yang: "You can't just buy a farm of 270,000 acres. This is not how you spend your money. I heard that the land in Viking is privately owned and is usually transferred to others for management. It's very difficult.
It’s rare for them to be sold directly.”
Mr. Feng: “It used to be the territory of a family in the Yujin Kingdom. Historically, it was divided into more than a dozen pieces due to inheritance relationships, and now it has become more than a dozen farms.
Later, they established a joint-stock company to manage these farm assets and incorporated them into the family mutual fund.
This transaction is the disposal of this part of the investment equity by the family trust. The economic situation has changed. They are no longer optimistic about the business prospects of these dozen farms and hope to invest in other areas after the transfer.
But they don’t want to suffer a loss, so they need to find a strong buyer.”
Old Man Yang: "That's nice to say. Don't you just want to find someone to take advantage of? Do you think Xiaohua looks like someone to take advantage of?"
Mr. Feng: "You always lost the bet just now."
Old Man Yang: "It's not certain who will lose! I can agree to help, but it's just a favor. But I didn't say that I want Xiaohua to be taken advantage of?"
Hua Zhenxing interjected: "How much of these 270,000 acres of land does the other party want to sell?"
Mr. Feng: "Ten billion, Luo Yuan!"
Old Man Yang said angrily: "It's a money grab! If it's based on the market price, it's about one billion Luo yuan."
Mr. Feng: "One billion Luo Yuan is still a little short of that."
Old Man Yang: "You also admit that 10 billion is too much, don't you?" He turned around and said, "Xiaohua, don't be fooled! The price is ten times higher than the normal market price. If you really buy it, the transaction price will still be high.
It will affect the basis for future tax calculations."
Mr. Feng: "If it's too expensive, we can negotiate! You can trade at market price, but the premium must be made up in other ways. Let the teams of both parties negotiate the specific details."
Before Hua Zhenxing could realize what kind of deal this was, the "Huanxiangguo Mission System" in Yuanshen suddenly reacted again, and a new mission came——
Task Thirty-three: Purchase the 270,000 acres of land in the Viking Kingdom.
Mission reward: Meng En Garden.
Seeing this mission, he immediately understood what was going on. The cave-sky barrier in Meng'en Garden should be in that place... After reacting, he said: "Ten billion Luo yuan is too much, Huan
I don’t think Industrial can afford this money.”
This is true. Although Huanxiang Industrial has a lot of income, it also has a lot of expenses. There are so many projects waiting to be implemented, and there are so many people to feed and to ensure that everyone can live a good life. The budget is actually very tight.
It is indeed difficult to suddenly withdraw such a large amount of funds.
Mr. Feng: “If you can’t do it this year, will you not be able to do it next year?”
Hua Zhenxing thought for a while: "Next year will be difficult too!"
Mr. Feng: "I don't ask you to come up with such a large sum of cash at once. You can pay it in installments or do technical processing of the transaction."
Huazhenxing: “What is transaction technology processing?”
Mr. Feng: "I'm just giving an example. For example, the price of these farms is based on the market price mentioned by Lao Yang, which is one billion Luo. You can pay the money in one go and complete the transaction.
But you need to sign another 9 billion yuan transaction contract and pay it off over several years. You will leave it to the team to study the specific installments and the method to sign this contract."
Hua Zhenxing thought for a while and said: "I am very willing to help. If you really buy it, you will have to pay it off within three years, but the total price of 10 billion yuan is still too expensive."
Mr. Feng: "If it's too expensive, we can negotiate. It's not like we won't allow counteroffers."
Hua Zhenxing: "Can you explain everything to me?"
Mr. Feng: "How do I know this? It's not my thing, I'm just asking for help! I estimate, three to four billion Luo yuan is about the same, but this is just my estimate, and it is not accurate.
.
At that time, you have to negotiate with the other party's team. I suggest you don't come forward in person and leave it to your own team. If you are really willing to help, send your team to negotiate. No matter whether it succeeds or not, I will thank you.
Come, drink!" As he spoke, he took the initiative to pick up the cup.
Hua Zhenxing raised their glasses and clinked their glasses. Old Man Yang reminded him: "Xiaohua, what time is it now? Are you not going to report for duty this afternoon?"
Hua Zhenxing understood: "It's okay to report tomorrow, it doesn't matter if it's a day late."
As soon as he said these words, it meant that Old Man Yang had won his bet, because what Mr. Feng and Old Man Yang were betting on was whether he could report on time today? In fact, if you think about it carefully, the old man and the young man were a bit of a gangster.
Yang Tehong raised her eyebrows and looked at Mr. Feng. Mr. Feng said calmly: "Don't play word games. We are betting on whether he can do it, not whether he will go! Now he is drinking, what will he get?"
Old man Yang gave the file bag to Hua Zhenxing: "Be careful, don't be too honest and get deceived!"
Mr. Feng nodded and said: "Yes, you have to be careful. Put it away first, stop looking at it, and drink!"
Hua Zhenxing held the file bag and said with some confusion: "Is this a small amount of information for such an important transaction?"
Mr. Feng smiled: "This is a brief document. There are several boxes of other information related to the transaction. I have put them all in your office. You can organize people to deal with them later."
