After Zhang Xudong gave the money and tickets to his grandmother, he stopped interfering in anything else.
Today is the 29th, and the final exam is on February 2nd.
He needs to read the book and familiarize himself with it, otherwise he will fail the exam again, which would be very embarrassing.
He had a good plan, but just after two days of peace, the old Taoist priest whom he hadn't seen for a few days appeared in front of him again.
Well, night owls come in for no reason.
"Come on, old man, what's going on? If you really don't want to talk about it, then don't bother."
Zhang Xudong looked at the old Taoist priest who had a conflicted look on his face and wanted to speak to him but didn't.
"Don't bother with an old man like me. I'm only asking for your help because I'm at my wit's end.
I'll give you this first, this is what you want."
As the old Taoist said this, he took out three ancient-looking books, a bracelet and a palm-sized pocket.
"What are these? I understand this book, it should be a technique.
But what does this bracelet and pocket mean?"
Zhang Xudong asked the old Taoist in confusion.
"This book is the technique I inherited from you.
"This bracelet and cloth bag are both legendary storage treasures. Take them and play with them." The old Taoist replied.
"It looks like this is a big deal. Did you bring the betrothal money first?"
Zhang Xudong said with his chin swaying.
"These things have nothing to do with what I will talk about later. This is what I promised to give you before." The old Taoist hurriedly explained.
"Tsk, do you believe that? Tell me, what's the matter? I want to hear it first."
Zhang Xudong curled his lips at the old Taoist priest.
The old Taoist priest decided to take the risk and told Zhang Xudong the whole story.
It turned out that two months ago, a huge explosion occurred on the prairie of that country west of our country.
The investigators stayed there for more than a month but didn't find any valuable information.
So they sent two more people to the other party's missile manufacturing base to inquire about the information.
These two people are the young man and woman who went to the Public Security Bureau with the Taoist priest.
The man's name is Zhao Peng and the woman's name is Zhou Yanan.
The two of them stayed there for more than half a month, not only did they gain nothing, but their identities were also exposed.
Now they have fled to a city near the base, avoiding the KGB.
Now all the entrances and exits to the city are under control, and they have no way to escape.
"Dongzi, that's it.
If no one rescues them, they will either starve to death or commit suicide before being caught.
We old guys have all registered with each other, so there's nothing we can do if we go there.
Among the young people, the only ones who are stronger than them are you and He Yatou.
So, we would like you to rescue them.
Their elders also told me to tell you that as long as you can help, regardless of whether it succeeds in the end, they will thank you."
The old Taoist sighed after he finished speaking. Although those who do this job are almost on the verge of death every day.
However, when I really had to face the sacrifice of my colleagues and comrades, I still felt sad.
Zhang Xudong thought about it and said:
"Don't mention thanking me, they are my colleagues and comrades after all.
These are all official matters, not personal matters, so their families don't need to say anything.
Lord Dao, it’s really hard to watch this at this time.
I won’t talk about my exam the day after tomorrow, it’s okay if I don’t take it. But He Jingxian’s parents are coming tomorrow, can I leave right away?
The Spring Festival is on the 15th, and I won’t be able to return before the Spring Festival in half a month. I won’t be able to celebrate the New Year at home.”
The old Taoist almost went crazy after hearing what Zhang Xudong said.
While we are anxiously thinking about how to save people, you are actually lamenting that you can't spend the New Year at home.
"Don't make me angry anymore, old man. Tell me whether you are going or not?"
The old Taoist asked angrily.
Zhang Xudong rolled his eyes at him and said, "Will you let me go if I don't go? Can you give me some peace of mind?"
"No." The old Taoist answered with a crunch as if he had eaten fried beans.
"Then why are you talking nonsense? But I can't leave until the day after tomorrow at the earliest. Is it too late?" Zhang Xudong asked the old Taoist.
"It's too late, so try to get there early!
Give me a bowl of water, you are so rude, you don't know how to greet guests."
"Even so, you still bother me so often. If I let you drink to your heart's content, I'll have even less time to relax."
Zhang Xudong said as he poured water.
“You know what, it’s so comfortable to drink the water from your house.
What treasures did you add to it? Give some to me too."
The old Taoist said as he drank some water.
"You're here to return the gift. There's a jar of water in the kitchen. Please move it."
After Zhang Xudong finished speaking, he glanced at the old Taoist priest.
"Why would I bother? I can just come to your house every day and ask for water to drink.
I, the old Taoist priest, will stay in Qingshan County from now on and won’t leave unless necessary.”
The old Taoist said with a proud look on his face.
"Why, do you still want to bother me every day?" Zhang Xudong said in surprise.
“In order to cover our movements, we applied for a training base in the mountains here.
So, are we efficient enough?"
The old Taoist looked like he was asking you to praise him.
"Tsk, this is none of my business." Zhang Xudong said disdainfully.
“You will be one of the instructors at the base from now on, and you will be in charge of discipline.
Just beat up whoever disobeys you, and don't worry about anything else."
"You just want me to be your thug, right? Why are you being so hypocritical?"
"Why do you always tell the truth, you nagging kid?" the old Taoist said with an expression that looked like he wanted a beating.
"Okay, I won't waste my time talking to you. I'll just put these away."
Zhang Xudong didn't care what the Taoist said about instructor. He took the things the Taoist gave him and was about to take them to the inner room.
"Why don't you try these two things? What if they work?" The old Taoist quickly stopped Zhang Xudong and said.
"You still want me to be struck by lightning? There are so many people here, do you want everyone to be struck by lightning together for fun?"
Zhang Xudong looked down on the old Taoist and said.
"Let's go to the mountains and try again. This thunder can't kill you anyway.
I see that your skills have become more profound after being struck. If you were struck a few more times, you would probably enter the state of Hua Jin sooner or later.
Besides, if we can open one, wouldn't that be a rare sight?" the old Taoist urged.
"Come on, it's the lightning that's striking me, not you. How about letting you get struck by lightning and see?"
Although Zhang Xudong tried to refuse, he was also a little tempted.
He also wanted to see what real monks used.
But he wanted to leave the old Taoist aside and do it himself.
"Don't try to be cunning, kid. You want to leave me alone and eat alone? No way."
The old Taoist looked at Zhang Xudong with contempt, as if to say, "I see through you."
"Didn't you come here to talk about saving people? Why are you talking about magic weapons again? Aren't you anxious anymore?"
"If you don't leave now, what's the use of me getting anxious?
Anyway, I have nothing to do now, so watching you get struck by lightning might help me relieve my boredom."
