This is what an immortal should be like

Chapter 97 Weird Request
After the rooster crowed early that morning, Liu Hongyu made breakfast at the clinic. After he finished eating, he went out with a bag.

However, Liu Hongyu did not go home to sleep last night, he just came back before dawn to cook a meal.

"Hey, Master Liu, why are you here so early?"

"It's getting late. There must be a lot of people in the threshing ground right now!"

"That's right. After I finish carrying water, I have to practice a few times. The magical martial arts that Mr. Zi'an taught me are really powerful. A farmer like me has practiced for several months. Now I can carry water at a brisk pace without even breathing hard."

Liu Hong smiled as he looked at the man passing by carrying a bucket of water. He could even feel the man's vitality and the heat flowing in his body.

"Of course, you're busy, and I still have to go to school!"

"Well, then... Hey, Mr. Liu, are you going out?"

The man carrying the bucket walked to the other side and found that Liu Hongyu was carrying a bag in his hand, but it was not a simple cloth bag, but a mountaineering bag. This kind of thing seemed a bit out of place in Yinxian Valley.

"Yes, I have to go out for a while. I have some things that Master asked me to do!"

Although Liu Hongyu had told some people that he was going out, not everyone knew about it.

"Oh oh oh, then be careful on the road."

"it is good!"

The man left, and Liu Hongyu also went to the school.

People who got up early along the way would greet Liu Hongyu when they saw him, but they would be stunned for a moment when they saw the bag in his hand, and then they would quickly realize that he was about to leave the valley.

After arriving at the school and waiting for a while, Liu Hongyu didn't see the big rooster coming. He knew that it probably wouldn't come today.

Liu Hongyu had read "Awakening of the Spirit" to the big rooster for a few days before. Perhaps it had remembered that feeling, so it never came again.

"I don't know if a chicken that has become a spirit can use the immortal way to cultivate. Master hasn't said anything, so it shouldn't be a big problem."

Liu Hongyu stood at the school door and muttered to himself for a while, then went to the library to sort things out.

You must bring pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and of course some books and classics. The rest is clothes.

Of course, you must not put down your sword box. Only by constantly nurturing it can you continuously improve the spirituality of the magic weapon and make it easier to use.

After everything was sorted out, Liu Hongyu changed his clothes at the school and stuffed his clothes into his backpack.

This time, Liu Hongyu did not wear ancient costume, but changed into a set of long pants and short sleeves, a simple khaki and white color. The only eye-catching thing might be his long hair, but it would be almost the same if he tied it up and put on a baseball cap.

"call"

After doing all this, Liu Hongyu took out the seal and felt it, confirming that the side of the peach blossom forest was in a closed state of the large formation restriction, and then walked out of the library.

After closing the door, Liu Hongyu rose higher with every step he took. The breeze gathered under his feet and supported him, carrying him directly into the distance.

Liu Hongyu even flew to the vicinity of the East Peak and took a circle. He felt that there seemed to be mountains and rivers in the sky above the peak, and all kinds of strange phenomena were unpredictable, but when he looked again, it seemed as if there was nothing.

However, Liu Hongyu did not dare to look any longer. A while ago, he had looked at that direction for a long time near the East Peak, and ended up falling into an illusion and almost couldn't get out. Only then did he realize that the artistic conception emitted by a true immortal master was beyond the reach of the younger generation, so his master needed to go into seclusion at the top of the East Peak, a place that ordinary people could not reach.

However, after flying for a while, Liu Hongyu seemed to have some doubts again. He looked down and saw a ravine that looked somewhat unfamiliar.

Has the formation's coverage area become a little larger?
"Dulululu. Dulululu."

In an apartment building on the outskirts of JZ, the phone suddenly rang.

A hand slapped the blanket to the headboard, fumbled for a while before finding the phone, then picked up the receiver and put it to his ear, while squinting one eye to look at the wall. The time shown on the wall clock was five fifty.

Damn. Who's here so early?
"Hey"

"The boss called me and said he's leaving the reserve. Arrange someone to pick him up immediately!"

Leng Zhiheng suddenly lost all sleepiness and sat up in bed.

"Okay, I'll go there myself!"

"Well, arrange everything. If there's anything you can't handle, just call me."

"understood!"

After saying that, Leng Zhiheng hung up the phone and rushed to the bathroom to wash up. Just five minutes later, he rushed out of the apartment and got in the car.
More than half a year has passed since the boss left. During this period, the former Hidden Immortal Valley seemed to have completely disappeared and could no longer be found.

However, the team responsible for managing the operation of the Liu Group on behalf of Liu Hongyu actually vaguely understood some things, so they never thought that the boss was really missing, and they knew that he would definitely show up.

As the boss's driver, Leng Zhiheng naturally goes wherever the boss is, and becomes the most likely place for Liu Hongyu to appear in Jingzhou.

Sure enough, there was a surprise today!

Leng Zhiheng became extremely excited, and the vehicle's speed reached the limit allowed by the performance and the law.

At the edge of the Shennongjia Nature Reserve, Liu Hongyu walked out with a backpack and a sword case on his back, then followed the faint human aura to the nearest town, and then met Liu Lei at the intersection in the town.

This place can barely be considered the surface, which makes it convenient for people to find Liu Hongyu.

Looking at the modern square concrete buildings around him, Liu Hongyu was a little dazed, but he quickly adapted.

Most of the people coming and going here are riding bicycles, a few are riding motorcycles, and only a few cars pass by occasionally. The city is bustling with people coming and going.

There are also some roadside stalls that occasionally send out steaming buns from the oven. People line up on the side or eat the buns with one hand while riding a bicycle. It also feels like a homely place.

Although the spiritual energy is exhausted, it does not mean that all the luck and energy have disappeared. Everything in the world has qi, and people themselves also emit qi. It is just extremely unfriendly to spiritual practice.

"Zi la la la."

A luxury car braked suddenly and stopped in front of Liu Hongyu. He looked towards the driver's seat, and Leng Zhiheng, who had lowered the car window, also stuck his head out and stared at Liu Hongyu with wide eyes.

"Boss, it's really you."

Liu Hongyu smiled, revealing a few big white teeth.

"Why, it's been so long since we last met, you don't recognize me anymore?"

"Uh, no. I thought you would be wearing one of those long flowing ancient costumes."

As he was speaking, Leng Zhiheng had already gotten out of the car and opened the trunk.

Many people nearby were watching the scene at the intersection. After all, a car with a golden sculpture on the front looked very valuable.

Leng Zhiheng took Liu Hongyu's backpack and put it in the trunk, then looked at the sword case that the latter always carried on his shoulder.

"No need for that, I'll just carry it!" Liu Hongyu said this, obviously not intending to put down the sword box. Leng Zhiheng looked at it curiously and couldn't help asking.

"Uh, Boss, I heard your wooden box is very heavy. I've been curious about how heavy it is. Can you let me try it out?"

Liu Hongyu glanced at Leng Zhiheng, then smiled and nodded.

"Okay, I'll put it on the ground for you to try, but be careful not to hurt your back!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Hongyu had already placed the sword case upright on the ground. Leng Zhiheng didn't make any preparations, but simply grabbed the strap and pulled it up. After all, the boss had carried it like this before.

As a result, when he lifted it, the wooden box didn't move at all.

"Ok?"

Leng Zhiheng was stunned for a moment. How could this be possible? Then he held the wooden box belt with both hands, took a horse stance, held his breath, and pulled it up with all his strength.

"Get up, ho. ho."

Leng Zhiheng looked at the wooden box and then at Liu Hongyu, his face showing a look of shock and confusion. When he came to his senses, he felt that it was as he expected.

"Okay, stop playing, let's go, we still have a lot of things to do!"

As he spoke, Liu Hongyu picked up the sword case and sat in the back seat of the car. The whole action was as easy as lifting a heavy object.

Leng Zhiheng on the side swallowed his saliva and closed the car door for Liu Hongyu, then returned to the front seat, but still couldn't help but look at the wooden box that was now across the boss's legs through the rearview mirror.

"Boss, don't your legs feel cramped?"

"There's so much nonsense, let's go!"

"okay!"

The vehicle restarted and quickly drove away from the intersection, out of the curious sight of the public.

After the car drove for a while, Leng Zhiheng started joking to liven up the atmosphere.

"Boss, I really didn't expect you to be dressed so simply. Last time, you were quite reluctant to change clothes!"

Liu Hongyu looked at the scenery outside the car window, looked at the street lights on the roadside, and replied with a smile.

"That was just a fantasy in my mind. I don't care about it anymore. Of course, if I were to wear that outfit, I wouldn't care about what people think. The so-called uniqueness and blending in with the crowd are all opinions from outsiders!"

Leng Zhiheng looked at the car and glanced at the back, and couldn't help but say something.

"Boss, just based on this sentence, I feel that your cultivation must be more powerful than before!"

"You also know how to practice?"

Liu Hongyu looked at the driver's seat in front of him and asked with a smile, while Leng Zhiheng subconsciously nodded and shook his head.

"I don't understand this either, but you should be practicing, right? That Master Zhuang we met last time, he must be very powerful, right?"

"Hahahahahaha."

Liu Hongyu laughed for a while and then made a joke.

"Brother Leng, do you regret not kowtowing to the master and asking him to accept you as his disciple?"

"If he really is...ah."

After Leng Zhiheng finished sighing, Liu Hongyu asked again.

"By the way, do you know of a suitable company for designing ancient buildings?"

Leng Zhiheng answered immediately without thinking.

"Boss, I might not be able to answer your other questions, but I do know this: Zhonghai Seventh Institute is considered quite prestigious in China. When your father commissioned the restoration and renovation of Wangxian Temple, it was their design that led to their consultation with several other companies!"

"It is said that some people in the Seventh Academy specialize in ancient architecture and are good at building repairs and ancient restoration methods. They also help with a lot of planning for Hidden Immortal Valley. They are considered old partners!"

"That's just right!"

The vehicle continued to move, and the driver and passengers chatted casually. At least this atmosphere made Leng Zhiheng feel relieved. Although the boss was not the same boss as before, he was still the same boss.
-
A day later, China Overseas Seventh Design Institute received advance news that there would be a very special design task.

The task came from Liu Group, but unlike previous collaborations, this time no documents were sent, just a verbal statement.

If the entrusting unit had not confirmed that it was the Liu Group, the vice president who received the news would have thought it was a prank.

In a large office, every corner is filled with small models of ancient buildings and some large drawings, and the designers are busy, many are drawing on white paper, and some are discussing things.

The vice president walked into the office, looked around, and then walked to a place with several desks surrounded by a circle of partitions, which represented a design team.

"Everyone, stop for a moment! Lao Qian, here's a new design commission for your team!"

"Huh?" "Dean, we're too busy." "Hey, aren't there any vacancies in other groups?"

Before the team leader could say anything, the team members started complaining one by one. Although it was a state-level unit with a regular organization, the atmosphere was not dull. When they heard that there was a new task, the bald or semi-bald heads looked up from the drawing board.

As the team leader, Lao Qian screwed on the large teapot that was half filled with green tea, stood up from his seat, and began to reason with the vice-president who was approaching.

"Dean, you know our team has a lot of work to do. Let's share some of it with others!"

The vice president also smiled helplessly.

"I understand you, but I hope you can understand me too. This design commission was given by Liu. The commission is high, but the timeline is tight. The institute takes it very seriously, and I'm worried the other teams' technical skills won't be up to par. Furthermore, your team has always received the best feedback from Liu before, so this time, I'm specifically holding you, Old Qian, responsible! I have no choice!"

"Oh? Liu again? Do you have the sketches? Where is the plan? What project? What are the requirements? Where are the technical documents?"

The vice president smiled even more helplessly and spread his hands.

"No, nothing at all. Just a verbal request for a Sutra Library, a Kung Fu Transmission Tower, an Observatory, and possibly other supporting ancient buildings. They need to be grand and substantial, and completely imitate the ancient style, with wood and stone as the main materials, and some steel can be used. Every mortise and tenon structure must be designed."

"Dean, are you kidding me? We have nothing. Can you at least tell us how big the venue is?"

"You can wait for the Liu family to explain this. You can study the design first. Well, that's all I have to say. Their people should be here tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. You should prepare yourself, otherwise you won't be left without an explanation when the time comes!"

After saying this, the vice president left quickly, leaving the group looking at each other in bewilderment.

"This, Liu's commissions are getting weirder and weirder. How can we research this? There's also a Sutra Repository, a Skill Transmission Tower, and a martial arts novel-themed movie theater."
