In the Sand Village, the clones are everywhere, and the Arkham game begins

Chapter 411 Zhao Fangxu's Helplessness
"Alright."

Zhang Lingyu picked up paper and pen and began to write.

The sun is high in the sky, but it is covered by shadows; at a banquet, music and singing are played, but the lights cast slanting shadows;
When water and fire clash, eagles and dogs will watch; when disaster arises from external worries, people will protect themselves.

"Is someone trying to mess with me? Is it someone from outside?"

Qingshui was a little surprised, but it was normal after thinking about it.

It would be strange if no one wanted to mess with him.

There must be many people who want to curry favor with him, but there must also be people who want to take advantage of him, and even those who have suffered huge losses because of his existence, his inventions, and his interests.

This is the case inside, let alone outside.

There are definitely a lot of people overseas who want to get rid of him.

At least every country outside wants to tie Qingshui to their country and do research for them.

Even for some extreme forces and individuals, they may think that if they cannot get it, they will destroy it.

"You'll be fine."

Zhang Lingyu answered decisively.

Qingshui thinks so too.

With his abilities, whether it's a sneak attack or poisoning, it would be difficult to get him into trouble if he's prepared.

Unless Zhang Zhiwei is desperate and goes crazy looking for him to fight, and brings with him a being who has a special mechanism similar to the Tangmen Danshi that has an instant-death effect, then Qingshui may be put in a dangerous situation.

Otherwise, we'll have to drop a nuclear bomb on his head.

The remaining assassinations, such as plane crashes, were not fatal to Shimizu.

Zhang Lingyu continued:
"But this incident will have a significant impact. As for more, I don't know. I can only summarize these few comments. If you want to find out more, you need a very powerful sorcerer to enter the inner scene and take great risks to seek answers in the inner scene."

Qingshui stroked his chin and thought about it.

He is in the country, so nothing should happen to him.

With the security forces around him, others would not even find a chance to attack him.

So it's abroad?

Is it possible for me to go abroad in the near future?

Qingshui suddenly thought of the Nobel Prize.

The announcement is expected to be soon, in early October.

The award ceremony and dinner are scheduled for December 10th of each year, which is the anniversary of Nobel's death.

The location is in Stockholm.

"The banquet was filled with music and singing, and the lights were slanting... Could this be the Nobel Prize banquet? Then I won't go to the award ceremony and let someone else take charge. Will that stop happening?"

Zhang Lingyu shook his head slowly.

“Lingyu doesn’t know, but logically speaking, even if he managed to escape this time, it will happen again next time under other similar but different circumstances.”

Zhang Lingyu took out paper and pen and drew another hexagram next to the original Da You hexagram.

"The position of the changing hexagram is Jiu San, the old yang changes to the young yin, so this hexagram may evolve into Kui, and the Qian hexagram below becomes Dui hexagram, with fire above and marsh below, turning into Kui hexagram. This is the origin of the conflict between water and fire. If they contradict each other, there will be an unstoppable conflict between water and fire. Professor Zhuo, Kui hexagram itself represents a conflict."

"Is there a way to break the impasse?"

"Ling Yu's merits are shallow. He only knows that he should start from the ninth and third lines. If he can take precautions to prevent the ninth and third lines from moving, he can move towards the ninth and fourth lines in this hexagram. If something still happens, he should start from the changed Kui hexagram and change it into something else."

Qingshui took out his cell phone and recorded what Zhang Lingyu said. He planned to sort it out after returning, discuss it with Zeng Jiuchen, and then report the specific situation to the highest level.

The top management can find other relevant top talents for him and use think tanks to find the best solution.

"Okay, let's leave this matter here for now. Taoist Lingyu, I owe you a favor. If there's anything I can help with in the future, just give me a call. Unless it's something extremely important, I can help you with anything in the alien world."

Qingshui glanced at Zeng Jiucheng's reply, turned the phone upside down on the table, and said to Zhang Lingyu.

"Professor Zhuo, you don't have to do this. You've already saved Uncle Tian once, and now you've given him a chance to recover. Lingyu is already grateful, so how dare I ask for more from you?"

Zhang Lingyu shook his head honestly, stood up, lowered his eyes, and bowed.

This honest boy.

"Tsk, I don't know how you developed such a conservative character. With your honest eyes, I guess you would just say whatever you want when you go out to tell fortunes for others. If someone has bad things happen to them, you would directly tell them. If someone has good things, you would definitely point out where they are not done well, and you would ruin good things into bad things. Let's not talk about whether there are still fortune tellers these days. With your attitude alone, your business won't be very good."

How could that naughty old boy Zhang Zhiwei cultivate a disciple with such a personality?
However, Zhang Lingyu's character can be of great help to the boring practice in the early and middle stages of cultivation.

Zhang Lingyu blinked:

"But isn't that what fortune-telling is all about? If something bad happens, you need to tell the other person. If the other person is in danger, you need to make the other person prepared. If something good happens, you need to make the other person alert to avoid prosperity and decline. If the good and bad things are caused by the other person's fault, then you need to persuade the person to take the right path.

My master once told me that the art of divination is not simply used to bring good luck and avoid misfortune to oneself, but to enable others, and even everyone in the world, to avoid misfortune and bring good luck to themselves and move towards a better future.

This is the true meaning of the Book of Changes summarized by the ancient sages. "

"Before you set up your fortune-telling stall, did you have your fortune told first? Even if you didn't, you should have watched the news, right?"

Qingshui moved the mouse, tapped the keyboard a few times, and said to Zhang Lingyu.

"Lingyu doesn't understand, please explain it to me, Professor Zhuo."

Zhang Lingyu bowed.

Qingshui pulled up a web page on the computer and displayed it in front of Zhang Lingyu.

"Our city has launched a special campaign of 'purifying the city' to comprehensively rectify the occupation of roads for business..."

"It is not allowed to set up stalls on the street now. If you set up a stall to tell fortunes, you may be caught by the urban management, and your hexagram pennants and compasses may also be confiscated."

At this point in time, the management of street vendors has gradually become stricter, and will reach its peak in the next two or three years, until later due to some economic reasons, street vendors will reappear on the streets. "So what should I do?"

Zhang Lingyu was a little confused.

Even though he grew up in Longhu Mountain, his education level is not even that of a kindergarten graduate.

He has completed nine years of compulsory education and attended university, and has a bachelor's degree - although this bachelor's degree was obtained from the Longhushan Taoist College and can only be used in the religious field, and cannot be used for various official examinations like other bachelor's degrees.

In other words, he has no academic qualifications and no skills to make a living. His plan to set up a stall to tell fortunes and read feng shui has been cut off. Now he is in an embarrassing situation of having no money and being unable to find a job.

"The old Heavenly Master asked you to practice in the secular world, not to cultivate your sexual and spiritual abilities. In terms of this ability, you are already very outstanding among the younger generation.

When it comes to discussing metaphysics and Taoism, since you are the last disciple of the Heavenly Master, you are qualified to give lectures at the Baiyun Temple outside the West Gate.

But do you think that the old Heavenly Master asked you to go down the mountain to gain experience because he wanted you to set up a stall to tell fortunes and preach to people?"

"Probably not."

The white-haired Taoist scratched his head and said.

"The old Heavenly Master's real intention is to ask you to go down the mountain to meet different people and different things. He wants you to know how to face those people you can't deal with, how to do things you can't handle, and how to say things you can't say while keeping your original heart.

This is a laboratory in the ivory tower of a university. You won’t find the things you should see here.”

"Your opinion is ..."

"Ahem, I just happen to have the title of Director of Nadutong. I'll call Director Zhao of the company and arrange a position for you. Let's arrange you to be with Bilian."

Zhang Lingyu was slightly stunned.

"Why? Do you still have a problem with your nephew?"

“I’m not… well, I do have some opinions about his conduct and I think he will bring shame to Longhu Mountain if he goes out there. But I can understand that he has been helpless outside since he was a child. If he didn’t do this, he wouldn’t be able to survive.

But other than that, I shouldn't have any other dissatisfaction with him. I'm just a little jealous of Zhang Chulan who can control Yang Wu Lei because of the mistakes I made in the past."

"Is it jealousy or some other emotion? Are you hostile to Zhang Chulan?"

"At the beginning, I felt a little upset, but later on, I was relieved. I was wrong, Zhang Chulan was not wrong, and the one I should really blame was myself."

"Tsk, what's wrong with that? You envy Bilian for being a virgin, and Bilian envies you for having slept with a pretty girl. Love between a man and a woman is a natural human relationship, it's no big deal."

"But Xia He... is a full-blooded demon..."

"Remember what I just said? How big of a problem can there be in such a small pool of alien world? If you have the ability of your master, if someone dares to gossip, you will strike them with lightning and see how many mouths they can still speak."

"But this approach is not right..."

"If your master were in your position, he might really do the same, because a mere Xia He is not worth it for those sects to be at odds with a top leader who has the entire Longhu Mountain behind him."

Zhang Lingyu pursed her lips, wanting to say something, to argue a little, but in the end she said nothing.

He wanted to say that his master would never do such a thing, but the words couldn't come out.

The old Taoist priest is very tall in Zhang Lingyu's heart, yet very vivid.

With the old Taoist's temperament, he might really be able to do such a thing.

Zhang Zhiwei's character was cultivated from being invincible since childhood. If he really insisted on doing something, no one could stop him.

When Bao Ying was a child, he was invincible among his peers. No matter whether it was Lu Jin or any other outstanding young people, he could defeat them with just a slap. His strength has reached a level that is not suitable for his age group.

By the time he was thirty, there were few people in the entire alien world who could rival Lao Zhang. When he was forty, he had gone from being invincible among his peers to being invincible in the alien world.

Zhang Jingqing has done a good job in nurturing him so that he doesn't develop a lawless character.

In addition, Zhang Zhiwei's own cultivation of Taoism was high enough, and he had cultivated the true meaning of Taoism into his heart, so he could control his thoughts. He also had the Longhu Mountain tradition passed down from his senior masters as a restraint. This is why he became the Longhu Mountain Tiantong Taoist who is obviously invincible today, but seems a little low-key.

Well, compared with Zhang Zhiwei's strength, he is already very low-key.

"As for you and Xia He, I don't think this is a good way to go on. Hu Lin and Hu Jie, father and son, have already died at the hands of the Four Madmen. If you had been willing to take responsibility for Xia He before she entered Quan Xing, with someone like you, who came from a well-known and upright family, guiding her, the little girl would definitely not have ended up hanging out with a bunch of lawless scum, right?"

Zhang Lingyu did not answer.

"You are angry because Xia He broke your Yuan Yang, which prevented you from practicing Yang Wu Lei and becoming the most perfect successor to Tianshi Mansion. I understand this, but it is meaningless to waste time on what has already happened. Anyway, you are from Longhu Mountain, which is a Zhengyi sect and does not taboo matters between men and women. What are you afraid of? Just go ahead and attack. Do you want to see Xia He, as a Quan Xing, being killed and his body thrown on the street one day?"

"I wish..."

"Do you believe what you said, Zhang Lingyu?"

Qingshui looked at Zhang Lingyu helplessly.

Xiao Zhang had a complicated expression, a bit of seriousness in his ignorance, and a hint of resistance in his seriousness.

"I'm sorry, Professor Zhuo, my mind is very confused right now, I..."

"It's right to be chaotic. I'll find you an empty dormitory for one night, and then book a ticket to Tianjin, the North China headquarters that goes everywhere. Go hang out with Bilian. After all, she's your family. You can't trust others, but you can trust her, right? To be realistic, Bilian has the source of Qi in her body, and she has to rely on your Longhushan reputation to protect herself, so it's even more impossible for her to hurt you.

You can follow that boy and gain experience wherever he wants, and work in the company. You can see everything in the alien world, which is exactly what the old master wanted you to come down from the mountain."

Zhang Lingyu nodded slowly.

"Well, I'll leave it to you, Professor Zhuo."

"Okay, I'll write you a note. Turn left after you leave the office and go to the sixth workroom. Look for Zhi Jinhua. You two should know each other. Ask her to take you to the Academic Affairs Office with the note."

A few minutes later.

Zhi Jinhua took the note that Qingshui had just approved and took Zhang Lingyu out. At this time, Qingshui also called Zhao Fangxu.

"Hello, Mr. Zhao, ah, nothing much, I just have an intern here, I want to arrange for him to work in North China, his background is clean, his skills are pretty good, he can enter the finals of Luotian Dajiao, what's his name? His name is Zhang Lingyu, yes, the old Tianshi's apprentice, no trouble, don't you already have a grand-disciple of the old Tianshi, wouldn't it be the same if you get him in and let them work together?
By the way, how is that kid Zhang Chulan now?
Hmm? Isn't he in North China right now? I wanted Zhang Lingyu to go find him tomorrow."

The headquarters was connected everywhere. Zhao Fangxuhe, who was holding the phone, looked at Bi Youlong opposite him and saw the helplessness in each other's eyes.

Why did you call at this time?
