April 24, 2008, Baidi City, Fengjie County, Shancheng City.
The sun penetrates the mist that fills the canyon, and the surface of the river is sparkling with golden light.
There are outstanding people here, and many literati and poets have left lasting masterpieces since ancient times.
Li Bai meditated in the boat, "The apes on both sides of the strait can't stop crying, and the boat has passed the Ten Thousand Mountains."; Du Fu lamented from the high platform, "The endless falling trees rustled, and the endless Yangtze River rolled in"; Liu Yuxi sang his "Sunrise in the East" to the rhythm of Zhuzhi Ci.
When it rains in the west, there is no sunshine but there is sunshine."
On the deck of the Monyach, Zhou An and Mans Rundstedt stood side by side.
Looking down below, the roaring Yangtze River water in the past has become as quiet as a graceful girl thanks to the majestic Three Gorges water conservancy.
Professor Manns from Kassel College said: "With the help of Orthodoxy, the progress of the Kuimen Project has been greatly improved."
This blond, blue-eyed foreigner speaks Chinese with a fluent accent, and his Mandarin skills put Zhou An, who is a Beijing film-maker, to shame.
"Ahem...it's the orthodox Jiang family." Zhou An corrected with a smile.
Mance nodded. He knew something about the history of Orthodoxy. Nowadays, the four major orthodox clans seem to be harmonious and united, but there are also many dirty things among them. In recent decades, the Jiang clan has become stronger and the other three clans have declined, so the three clans have declined.
There is a faint tendency of synergy.
This is not uncommon, and even within the Conclave, the European mixed-race organization, is not monolithic.
Mance smiled and said: "Yes, Kassel College has always been close to Jiang, and the establishment of the Kuimen Project also benefited from Jiang's support.
Benbao, the head of the Jiang family is also studying in the preparatory class of Kassel College and will be promoted to the main school this year. Speaking of which, I may have a teacher-student relationship with your head."
"Magic Power Mechanical Design" taught by Professor Manns is also a popular subject at Kassel College and is often chosen by freshmen.
"The head of the family is extremely gifted, and his looks, talents, and abilities are rare among previous family heads. Professor Mance also has both ability and political integrity. He should be able to become a legend among teachers and students in foreign countries."
Zhou An smiled like a Maitreya Buddha. Even though he was boasting, he was confident and confident. His face was rosy and there was no hint of shyness. He seemed to be the most loyal supporter and the most fanatical believer of the Jiang family head!
This made Mance very curious about the head of the Jiang family whom he had never seen before. Even though he was very young, Mance would not despise him. Countless young heroes had emerged in the land under his feet for thousands of years.
While Kassel College was having a friendly discussion with representatives of the orthodox Jiang family, there was a sudden thunder in the clear sky. The sun was still shining brightly on the river just now, but the sky suddenly turned gloomy, and immediately a white rain began to fall.
Big raindrops pattered on the deck. Zhou An and Mance quickly walked into the cabin to take shelter from the rain, but even the raindrops falling from this distance wetted their clothes.
Zhou An stretched out his hand to catch the rain, sighed for a while and said: "This is not a good sign!"
Mance raised his eyebrows after hearing this, not finding it novel at all.
Metaphysics has been rooted in this country for thousands of years. It even established sects and wrote books and preached. It was also glorious during the feudal period and has endured for a long time.
It is not just the ignorant people who are affected by this. I heard that meetings held within the Orthodox Church, or the opening or completion of something important, must be on an auspicious day. The first thing for members of the Orthodox Party to live in is to check the weather and improve the feng shui.
Zhou An turned his head and glanced at the foreign professor's expression to know what he was thinking, and immediately opened his mouth to explain.
"According to the "Book of Mountains and Seas: Great Wilderness East Classic": There is Liupo Mountain in the East China Sea, which reaches seven thousand miles into the sea. There is a beast on it, shaped like an ox, with a pale body and no horns, and one leg. When it goes in and out of the water, there will be wind and rain, and its light is like
The sound of the sun and moon is like thunder, and its name is Kui."
Zhou An calmly said: "Based on textual research, Jiang concluded that the 'Kui Dragon' recorded in ancient books should be a pure-blooded dragon whose bloodline should be the second generation and a dragon attendant who protects the king for life. And "The Classic of Mountains and Seas"
The description of "When entering and exiting water, there must be wind and rain, its light is like the sun and moon, and its sound is like thunder" is extremely realistic. Pure-blood dragons with strong bloodline have a high affinity to the elements and can even command the elements. Kui dragon belongs to fire
Yes, it is normal for fog or heavy rain to occur on the riverside."
When Zhou An told the origin of this, Mance was extremely focused and almost recited every word of Zhou An's words!
Regarding the history of the dragon clan, the pure-blood dragons themselves have the deepest understanding of orthodoxy, and among them, the Jiang family, which has been passed down the longest, is the leader in orthodoxy.
If this secret is passed back to Kassel Academy, it may be able to corroborate another period of dragon history, or it may be used to decipher the fragments of documents. The value is difficult to judge, but it will not be useless.
Zhou An sighed and continued: "And recently our exploration team has searched almost the entire Three Gorges, but there has been no progress. This makes people wonder whether there are living intelligent creatures hiding from us."
Mance nodded secretly after hearing this. With Jiang's strong support, countless manpower and material resources were mobilized, and the Kuimen plan progressed several times, but now there is no harvest. Zhou An's worry is not unreasonable.
Mansi held up the Bluetooth headset and said after a moment: "The Maritime Safety Administration of the Dajiang Channel has informed us that there may be an underwater earthquake with intensity level 5 in the afternoon. Do we need to suspend our underwater operations today?"
Zhou An shook his head and said: "His warning was not accurate, and it was only a magnitude 5 earthquake. I believe in the elites of the Deacon Hall!"
The Kuimen Project joined a group with Jiang's participation and acted separately from the Kassel Academy group.
Naturally, Mance would not object, but when he looked up, the sky was already covered with dark clouds, and the white rain just now was not bluffing at all!
For a moment, Mance's brows also frowned. After just hearing a detailed explanation with literature references and logical speculations from the orthodox high-ranking official Zhou An, this beautiful Chinese who had received natural science education since childhood also secretly accepted this metaphysical theory.
…
A game arcade in Yanjing.
As soon as Nono entered the door, he was attracted by several neatly arranged game machines. Jiang Yi followed behind with a stack of game coins in his hand.
The game hall is very large, with many arcade machines. After playing one machine for a while, Nono got tired of it, so he moved on to the next one.
Jiang Yi also played King of Fighters and Racing with her for a while.
Although Jiang Yi had never been exposed to these things, because of his strong learning ability and his extremely fast reaction speed, he soon had a good fight with Nono, who had no patience for playing games.
The two were PKing the King of Fighters, and a circle of people gathered behind them, exclaiming in admiration from time to time. In a place like this, people with good gaming skills can be looked down upon by others, let alone a beauty of Nono's level, who is herself.
Very eye-catching.
Nono quickly shook the joystick and kept tapping the button, "Let me do it!"
Jiang Yi ignored her and beat Nono to a bloody pulp with one consecutive move. Nono then cunningly reached out and grabbed Jiang Yi's joystick, and then controlled his own character to kill Jiang Yi.
Jiang Yi wouldn't argue with her, after all, he was just passing the time, and caring about the outcome was putting the cart before the horse.
There were young men with different hair colors and strange clothes chatting next to me.
"The beauty is so good at this combo of moves!"
"How about another plate?"
…
Nuonuo ignored the crowd's booing. King of Fighters was no longer interesting after two rounds, but the claw machine on the side looked a bit interesting.
Jiang Yi stood aside and watched Nuonuo play with the claw machine. He also boasted that he had experienced ups and downs in his entire life, so naturally he could not play with such a childish thing.
Nono kept adjusting the position around the machine, aiming carefully, and bang! She secretly pressed the red button. Although it was hooked, it fell off because the hook was too loose when it was rising.
After that, she tried several times without success. The machine had naturally been adjusted by the store. Even a mixed race could not clamp the doll. After all, there was no word spirit that could help clamp the doll.
Nuonuo was a little annoyed. She pulled Jiang Yi over and said, "Come and try it. The red one in the middle, I don't believe I can't get it today!"
"Everything is boring? No fun."
Nuonuo didn't speak, just stared at him with unkind eyes, with a childish attitude of not leaving until he got this.
Jiang Yidao: "Just once!"
Nono could not deny it.
Jiang Yi stood helplessly in front of the claw machine. He controlled the joystick and thought, if he played like this, he would probably use up all the game coins in his pocket and not be able to get the doll Nono wanted, right?
Jiang Yi pressed the red button, and the pink stuffed doll was picked up smoothly, and it was steadily pulled out following the movement of the hook.
Nono picked up the puppet from below and patted Jiang Yi's shoulder hard, his face immediately turning into a smile.
"Okay, I don't think you have this skill. Come on, I want the pink panther!"
"Didn't you just say it once?"
Nuonuo's face was full of slyness: "When did I agree?"
"Okay, okay." Jiang Yi had a headache, "For the last time."
Nuonuo nodded, and Jiang Yi repeated his old trick, pinching out the pink leopard.
"Jiang Yi, I still want that panda!"
Jiang Yi: "..."
Finally, when Nono could no longer hold the doll in his hand, the two of them left the claw machine.
"Brother, your girlfriend is so beautiful. Buy her a bouquet of flowers!"
A girl in a pleated skirt stopped the two of them. The girl's smile was even more stunning than the roses in her arms.
Jiang Yi looked at Nono, and Nono also looked at Jiang Yi funny, as if waiting for how he would respond.
Jiang Yi opened his palm and handed out a pile of game coins.
"Can I buy this? I don't have any money."
The girl was stunned for a moment. Nono threw the doll in her arms to Jiang Yi and took out a 10 yuan bill.
"Buy one."
The girl picked a rose with water droplets between the petals and handed it to Nono, saying sweetly: "Thank you, brother and sister!"
The girl held a large bouquet of flowers and walked away. Jiang Yi looked at her back and glanced up and down, as if he was observing some rare treasure!
Nuonuo narrowed her eyes and said, "So you like lolita? The story of the noble man and the flower girl is very boss-like! She is a student of the High School Affiliated to Yanda University, what is her name..."
The image of the girl taking off her school badge at the entrance just came to Nono's mind.
