Perhaps it was a woman's intuition, Qi Ruoxue felt that the thing might have been sent by "him". She didn't know why her heart suddenly started beating wildly, and she quickly said: "I'll go to the front desk to sign for it, you can go about your own business!"
With a surprised look in her eyes, Wu Linlin turned around and hurried away.
Of course the person who came was not Melander, but a deliveryman from the express company. Qi Ruoxue secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but felt a little disappointed for no reason. But when she saw the handwriting on the express mailing list, she felt that her breathing was not even.
Wei Wei gasped a little, collected the small package and hurried back to his office. He closed the door and calmed down, as if he had stolen something and was afraid of being discovered.
Her intuition was absolutely correct. This was a gift from Melande. It was packed in a small paper box, and the outside was tied with a dovetail double flying knot with five-color silk thread. It was only as big as the palm of your hand, and it was unusually delicate and unique.
To open the carton, the knot had to be untied or cut. Qi Ruoxue couldn't wait to know what was inside, but couldn't bear to break the knot. She carefully cut the edge of the carton with a stationery knife and cut the knot.
He took off the silk thread that tied the carton and hung it on the lamp in front of him.
There was a beautiful mineral crystal in the carton, which was enclosed in a transparent plexiglass protective cover, with a white envelope underneath. She took out the mineral crystal and placed it on the table. She picked up the envelope, which contained the check.
The one for Melander. This is his old habit. I remember being "molested" by him in Liuhua Lake Park last year. I also left an envelope with money. He wrote a personal letter the next day.
, just put it in that envelope.
Is this another "apology" letter? Qi Ruoxue immediately discovered that it was really a letter, and it was written on the other side of the envelope. It was divided into two paragraphs. The first paragraph had larger handwriting and was actually written in
A woman’s eyebrow pencil writes——
"I no longer want to earn this money. If it's not easy to handle, just donate it for me. I'm sorry that I have to trouble you with such a thing in the end! - Melander."
The following paragraph is written in pencil, the handwriting is small and neat——
"Since ancient times, beauties, like famous generals, are not allowed to grow old in the world. This is a pity!
This swallowtail double-crystal fragrant flower stone can gather affection, generate vitality and surround it, filter out decadence and clutter, and resonates with the quality of Ruoxue, which has the magical effect of rejuvenating the appearance. Ruoxue's physical and mental temperament is the same, and the effect of this stone lasts for a long time.
Carry it with you when walking, and often go to a place where both body and mind feel light, and the effect will be better. When sitting, you can place it three feet behind you, with the height of your heart level. When you fall asleep, you can place it on the bedside to feel comfortable.
It's better not to be forced.
I’m not lying to you this time, I’m really a Feng Shui master.”
If the content of this letter is true, then such a gift can hit the Achilles heel of every woman in the world. What You Fang said is not false. This crystal is really effective, especially for Qi Ruoxue.
It is particularly obvious. Of course it cannot be the Nine-turn Purple Golden Elixir in myths and legends, but at least it is no worse than the effect of regular maintenance in any beauty salon. As for how effective it is, even You Fang himself cannot tell.
As the saying goes, a person is nourished by the soil and water. People who live in certain places all year round are always more energetic, and their appearance is naturally well maintained. This is related to air, water quality, climate, diet and many other environmental factors. Of course, travel
It is impossible to completely replicate this environment with a single crystal, but a similar principle is used.
What's even more special is that this crystal has been condensed by You Fang's spiritual consciousness, adding a spirituality that coincides with Qi Ruoxue's spirit. It has a natural resonance in the environment and has a particularly obvious effect on her. But what if
Qi Ruoxue's temperament will change greatly from now on, and she will no longer be the same as she was now. The crystal itself will still be effective, but it will lose Qi Ruoxue's unique magical effect. That's why You Fang said: "Ruoxue's physical and mental temperament are the same, and this stone's
The effect lasts a long time.”
…
How could You Fang come up with such a crystal? The situation was very accidental! It was Fu Zhixin who had discovered the realm of "Transferring Spiritual Pivot". At that time, he did not use the scroll to collect the energy of the mountains and rivers, but used this crystal.
The stone condenses a unique effect. This small crystal is a picturesque landscape given to Qi Ruoxue. It cannot be seen, but the spirituality it imparts exists.
If Liu Li sees this spar, he will realize that his apprentice has broken through the realm of "condensing spiritual consciousness and transferring spiritual pivots". At the same time, he will sigh: "This boy is really willing to spend a lot of money to pick up girls! The same thing
With effort and chance, you can completely refine it into an artifact that is very effective in the secrets of Feng Shui. How can you make something that is almost useless to you?"
But then again, otherwise, I'm afraid there will be no enlightenment. Unique opportunities are rare. At this time, You Fang has exhausted his spiritual energy and cannot use any spiritual consciousness. From the perspective of Feng Shui secret method, it is almost the same as ordinary people.
People are almost the same.
He used the swallow-tailed twin-crystal fragrant flower stone as a spiritual guide, and activated the mental state-refining method while walking, sitting, and standing. He did not stop for two days and two nights. When his spiritual energy was exhausted, he succeeded in transforming into a state of mind and almost lost all his previous efforts. Looking back in Baiyun Mountain, he suddenly became enlightened.
, he realized that he had unknowingly crossed the threshold of the "Refining Realm" and thought to himself that he was lucky.
Traveling in the Refining Realm is like singing and dancing slowly, but for two days and two nights, singing without making a single note, dancing without taking a wrong step, it is indeed a lucky thing! Looking at the crystal in his hand, if he was asked to deliberately refine the same one
, it is also difficult to succeed again. Although you have mastered the way of refining your realm, it is like learning to paint, but it is difficult to repeat a work created when inspiration comes.
…
Qi Ruoxue looked at this "letter" in a daze. The first paragraph was written with an eyebrow pencil. She had an eyebrow pencil of the same color on the bedside table in her bedroom. It seemed that Melander had written it at that time and wanted to put the envelope in
He stayed, but changed his mind and took it away again, and sent it back with this special gift.
She seemed calm that morning, but in fact she felt like two little rabbits were hopping around in her heart. Looking back now, her action of putting the check on the bedside table, in line with the situation at that time, was a bit wrong. What would people think? She couldn't help but wonder.
I imagined the next scene in my mind: Melander got out of bed, opened the envelope and saw the check, frowned, found an eyebrow pencil from the drawer, and bent over the table to write a letter. He was still naked at the time, and his strong body was
Like a perfect sculpture...
Thinking of this, her face suddenly turned red, and her body felt a little hot and tight. She coughed and came to her senses. She opened the envelope and saw the returned check, and was at a loss for a moment.
After thinking for a long time, she opened the drawer and took out another letter. It was written in the same neat Song Dynasty craft calligraphy. The last sentence was "Miss Qi is young and beautiful, and her status is delicate. Please don't do the dangerous thing you did last night." This is.
Qi Ruoxue still kept the letter he wrote to her half a year ago. She read the two letters many times before carefully putting away the check.
There was that exquisite crystal stone on the table. Qi Ruoxue couldn't believe what Melander said, but subconsciously, she would rather believe it. Looking back, she saw a row of maroon solid wood filing cabinets with glass doors along the wall behind her.
Exactly about one meter away from her back, there are many compartments in the cabinet, which contain many folders and various furnishings and crafts.
Qi Ruoxue stood up, emptied the file cabinet directly behind her, and put the swallow-tailed double-crystal fragrant flower stone in it alone, at the same position as her heart when she sat down. - You Fang
That letter, according to Jianghu sect, is a typical use of "point" and "li" at the same time.
…
You Fang watched Qi Ruoxue come out in the dark, signed for the small package in person, and then left Hengming Building. At this time, not only was his spirit exhausted, but he also overused the secret technique and almost exceeded the limit, and could no longer use it.
A trace of spiritual consciousness, if it were a sword, was equivalent to having no spirituality but no way to exert it. This was the first time I had encountered this since I started practicing the secret technique.
Qin Yu's spirituality was damaged, so You Fang used his mind to recuperate his sword. However, in his own situation, it would be too slow to rely solely on internal cultivation through martial arts. There is still a possibility of losing his original skill, so he needed to rely on the external Qi Lingxin.
Nourishing. It seems that I still need to walk around, experience the mountains and rivers of the world, sense the movement of the earth's energy, survey the geographical context, and gather the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to help me cultivate my body and spirit. Not only can I recover faster and better, but my skills can also become deeper.
Once you have reached the realm, it depends on your skill and experience. Whatever, just go home and pack your luggage!
After going out to buy some things, I returned home and simply packed my luggage. Except for a backpack, I carried all the important things with me - Qin Yu at his waist and the scroll in his sleeve.
Of course, you can't bring all the polycrystals with you, so You Fang selected eighteen and kept the rest under the bed. He thought the original packaging took up too much space, so he unpacked them all and wrapped them in a veil, and put nine of them on the trip.
In the bag, in addition to a change of clothes, there was also the handicraft collection appraisal certificate specially given to Qin Yu in Panjiayuan to avoid unexpected troubles when carrying controlled knives.
As for the other nine crystal stones, You Fang hid them on his body. Anyway, the winter coat is thicker and has more pockets. Moreover, You Fang also made some small details on the coat. He sewed a few small pockets and tried them out.
Every crystal can be easily accessed. These small details may seem redundant and troublesome in ordinary times, but You Fang has always been so "thoughtful" in his preparations.
At this time, he still didn't know that this coat would save his life in the future.
Although he is temporarily unable to use his spiritual consciousness, You Fang does not have too many worries, and other aspects of his body and mind are not affected. He is still a master of internal kung fu, and has a keen intuition of "responding to what he feels and responding to what he feels".
More importantly, he is a young wanderer, why should he be afraid of wandering around?
When I went out, I remembered that I hadn't turned on my phone for two days and two nights. I didn't know what would happen, so I should say hello to Chen Jun. As soon as I turned on the phone, I received a text message. It was from my sister You Chengyuan: "I'm in Guangzhou.
, your brother-in-law has found the underworld soil, please contact me as soon as you have time!"
You Fang was surprised and quickly dialed the phone: "Sister, have you arrived in Guangzhou? Sorry, I went out to do errands two days ago and didn't turn on the phone. Where are you? I'll find you right away! ...What, you've already
You are about to check out and plan to take the train to Chenzhou? What a coincidence. I will go to the train station to find you and we will go together... Just go to the train station and buy two tickets. I will be there soon. There is nothing to deal with.
.”
Not long after they met at Baimayi during the Chinese New Year, the siblings met again at Guangzhou Railway Station. As soon as they met, Yu Fang smiled and said: "Sister, aren't you an archaeological team member? When did you become a porter? These two bags have
A hundred or dozens of kilograms, right?”
You Chengyuan: "Stop being such a bastard. I haven't turned on your phone for two days, so I'm here now! Help me carry it." As he spoke, he handed the big bulging bag in his hand to You Fang.
You Fang weighed it with one hand and found that it weighed at least sixty kilograms. He asked, "What did you do in Guangzhou? What is so heavy?"
You Chengyuan: "The work team's detector is broken. Let's go to Guangzhou to buy spare parts."
You Fang was very curious and opened the bag chain a little, and said in surprise: "What kind of archaeological instrument uses this kind of accessories? It's all delicious, and there are all kinds of condiments! Are you going to have a picnic party?"
You Chengyuan explained: "Oh, by the way, I will buy some food for your brother-in-law to improve his food. Excavation work in the field is too hard, and he often doesn't eat well or rest well."
You Fang asked again: "You are carrying accessories, right? It's quite heavy?"
You Chengyuan: "This is a set of Luoyang shovels. The accessories are under the food. They are only as big as the battery."
You Fang looked at the huge travel bag in his hand and was a little bit dumbfounded: "Sister, are you worried? Where are you doing excavations? You can't even buy food, so you need to bring so much from Guangzhou? I've been to Chenzhou,
Not Antarctica."
You Chengyuan: "It's not in the urban area of Chenzhou, it's far away! The working conditions in the mountains are difficult, many things can't be bought, and it's inconvenient. I'll tell you more about it after I get in the car. It takes two days to walk on the road."
With modern transportation, it takes less than two days to get from Beijing to New York, but it takes more than two days to get from Guangzhou to somewhere in Hunan. The archaeological excavation site where Chi Muduo is located is located deep in the Luoxiao Mountains at the junction of Hunan and Jiangxi.
On the train, You Chengyuan took out the atlas and showed it to You Fang. You Fang was secretly surprised.
Because it was more than ten kilometers away from that location, which was the Songhe Valley where the Xiang family was located. Liu Li had specifically told him the detailed location. But the straight-line distance of more than ten kilometers in the deep mountains was actually very far, and no one in the Xiang family knew him.
, so you don’t have too much to worry about, just be careful in everything.
I heard that the mountains and rivers near Songhe Valley have excellent aura, and it is a good place to practice body and soul, which is suitable for traveling at this time.
It was getting late when we arrived in Chenzhou, so we found a hotel to rest for the night. Early the next morning, we took a long-distance bus heading east, passing through Zixing, Xingning, Pengshi and other places. There were more and more mountain roads, and the mountains on both sides of the road were also
It is getting more and more dangerous, but from the perspective of the traveler, it is really a good place with green mountains and beautiful water. This road actually seems to be walking through the movement of the earth's spiritual hub.
Between movement and stillness, he cultivated his body and mind, and his consciousness was gradually recovering. Although it was very slow, You Fang felt more subtle and clear than before. If he recovered completely, his skill would obviously be able to reach a higher level.
I had lunch in a certain county town, then transferred to a very dirty and dilapidated long-distance bus, and finally got off the bus in a small town on the border of Hunan and Jiangxi. It was completely dark. Looking out of the town, I saw a continuous
The mountains are high and steep. The further you go into the mountains, the accents of the dialects spoken by the local people become heavier. Fortunately, the You family brothers and sisters understand the pronunciation of local dialects, so it is not like listening to a foreign language.
After resting for the night at the only guest house in the town, the tourists sneaked to the mountains outside the town at night to show the scrolls and sit there. When we set off the next morning, there were no buses available. There were locals who operated convertibles specifically to carry passengers between various market towns.
, I walked dozens of miles all morning on a bumpy mountainous country road.
At noon, we found a small restaurant in a village for dinner. Only then did you understand why my sister brought so much food. Some of the dishes here are very fresh, green and natural, but they are very rough and there are not many things, including bowls and chopsticks.
It's very hygienic, and it's troublesome to go out to eat a meal in the wild.
After asking a few questions during the meal, I found out that the off-road vehicle of the archaeological team was broken down, and its chassis accidentally rubbed against a stone. Even if there was a car, Chengyuan was not going to let anyone pick it up. The last section of the road was very difficult to walk.
When we went into the mountains again in the afternoon, we didn’t even have to sit in a farm convertible. Although You Chengyuan was very strong, he didn’t want to carry things on his back to climb the mountain road. It was better to save trouble as much as possible. After dinner, we found a brick truck in the village.
We walked on the tractor, negotiated the price, and set off again on the tractor. We also added water on the way and arrived at a village at dusk.
Facing the towering peaks, the mountains along the way are undulating. If it were a pampered young man along the way, he might have been knocked to pieces, but You Fang's spirit is getting better and better. The mountain man driving the tractor is not tired, what does he have?
So tired? Besides, being nourished by the environment while traveling in mountains and rivers is very beneficial to the recovery of spirit.
The siblings got off the tractor outside the village, carried their things on their backs and walked through the village. Going further, there were only mountain trails. Under the afterglow of the setting sun, the village was quiet, not many people were walking around outside, and even the smoke from the cooking stoves
They were all sparse. Occasionally, a few children who were playing ran by, and they all looked at them with strange eyes and said nothing.
This village in the mountains does not give tourists the impression of poverty and backwardness. Although the houses in the village are relatively crudely built, most of them are very new. There are dozens of two-story small buildings that are rare in this mountainous area. It is a traditional rural area.
It has a large door panel type door, but is equipped with aluminum alloy windows.
The village has about a hundred households, two restaurants, three shops, and even a small building with a guest house sign on the door, and the village committee next to it. It is obviously richer than the villages passing along the road, and it seems that it is also
It's more prosperous. But a village in the mountains is not a tourist attraction, so what kind of guesthouse should be opened?
What surprised You Fang the most was not these. As soon as he entered the village, he stopped not far away, pointed to the wall of a yard next to him and exclaimed in a low voice: "Sister, did I read that right? The tomb bricks of the Han Dynasty, or
Patterned ones are used to build wall foundations!”
The courtyard wall of this house is made of ordinary red bricks, very tall and neat. The top of the wall is plastered with cement and densely packed with broken glass. However, the part of the wall exposed above the ground is made of blue-gray diamond-shaped striped bricks, which looks very thick and simple.
.
You Chengyuan sighed: "Of course I read it right. Your brother-in-law also noticed it when he entered the village. He didn't dare to be as sure as you. He ran over and squatted under the wall of someone else's house to study it for a long time. He almost ran out of breath and vomited blood!"
