Zhang Xudong laughed after hearing what the old Taoist said. This meant that the storage bag had lost its spiritual energy.
Don't even think about soaking it in sugar water, even soaking it in pregnancy treasure will be useless.
He Jingxian beside her also burst out laughing, stood up and walked towards the kitchen.
Zhang Xudong looked at the old Taoist priest and asked with a smile:
"I said, sir, what have you been doing? Not only did you become thinner, but you also made your bag go on strike?"
The old Taoist said bitterly, "What else can I do? I've been a porter for half a year.
There is nothing on the top of your mountain except grass and sheep, not even a thread of wool.
Building a house requires bricks, sand, cement, wood, etc.
When this bag was not available, people had to carry it up little by little.
With this bag, wouldn’t I want to prepare all the materials quickly?
I couldn't let others know that I had this treasure, so I had to do it secretly.
This involves searching for materials and secretly transporting them up the ladder.
I've been doing this on and off for over half a year, how could I not lose weight?"
Zhang Xudong sighed and said, "Master Dao, what is the reason for this?
This isn't your business, can't you let them all contribute a little?"
The old Taoist sighed and said, "There are only less than ten of us left on the cliff top who can carry our belongings up there.
These people are already quite old, and if they are asked to carry stones and bricks up the mountain one by one, it will take them three years to prepare everything.
I’m afraid they won’t be able to carry it for long, as they will all go to see the Grand Master.”
At this time, He Jingxian came into the house carrying a large laundry basin.
Zhang Xudong casually threw the bag into the water.
A basin of water swirled away before my eyes.
"Tsk tsk, look how thirsty you've made it.
He could drink up a whole basin of water in one gulp without worrying about choking.
Zhang Xudong said as he watched the basin of water disappear in the blink of an eye.
The old Taoist opened his eyes and said, "Dongzi, girl, this is not enough, it's almost there."
After hearing this, He Jingxian turned around and left with the basin, going directly to the kitchen to feed the dog, so as to avoid running back and forth.
The old Taoist said awkwardly, "Dongzi, your water is still better.
Can you prepare eight or ten barrels for me, the Taoist priest?"
Zhang Xudong listened indifferently and said:
"As long as you can keep it a secret, I can provide you with this water, even for taking a bath.
But if you let others know, our fate will be over."
The old Taoist nodded seriously and said:
“Don’t worry, I know you two are both people with great opportunities and great secrets.
Not only will I not let others know your secrets, I will also try my best to cover them up for you.
I don't even dare to let others know about this broken bag of mine, let alone your methods that even I don't know about?
There is news from the Russians.
It is said that during that period, not only was the bank robbed in Woking, but a large amount of machinery and equipment and information were also stolen.
The Americans also sent a message saying that several of their banks and factories were robbed a few days ago.
They said a batch of gold bricks and several CNC machine tools were lost.
The Americans have offered a reward of tens of millions of dollars for clues.
So, if you have anything inappropriate, keep it away and don't show anything."
Zhang Xudong was stunned when he heard this and asked quickly, "Master Dao, what do you mean?"
The old Taoist took a sip of water and said, "Why are you so nervous? Can I sell you out?
The iron lump you ordered to be shipped was from the Russians, but you said you bought it.
But this thing cannot be bought with 20 million rubles.
The machinery and production lines you ordered shipped in were from the Russians, but you said they were donated by Hong Kong businessmen.
But which Hong Kong businessman could possibly bring back such a large quantity of goods? And who would dare to do so?
You bought a cruise ship in Hong Kong, but that cruise ship cannot be bought with the money lost by the bank.
You also went to the United States, although everything was normal when you were there.
But less than half a month after you left there, they were in trouble.
So, if you take out some of their stuff again, even I won’t be able to cover it up for you.”
Zhang Xudong frowned and asked, "What? Is someone following and investigating me?"
The old Taoist thought for a moment and said to Zhang Xudong:
"Dongzi, there can never be just one line of espionage.
Even within our investigation committee, it is impossible for there to be only one line.
It’s just that I’m in charge of our line.
As for the mountaintop shelter we are building now, it is just my private action.
This matter cannot be known to other people in the investigation team.
Even Zhao Peng and the others can't do it.
So, you should put some things aside for now. Now is not the time to take them out."
Zhang Xudong smiled bitterly and said:
"Master Dao, you are truly an expert, able to see the big picture from the small details.
Just tell me what's missing on the mountain, and I'll prepare it and send it up to you.
It saves you from running back and forth all the time. I feel tired just thinking about it.
Besides, there may be some things you can’t get right.”
The old Taoist said, "I have just finished preparing the bricks, stones, and wood.
Cement, sand and steel have not yet been prepared.
Especially cement and steel, small amounts are okay.
But if you want to do it on a large scale, it’s very difficult.”
Zhang Xudong listened and asked, "How many of these things do you need? I'll get them for you in Gangcheng."
The old Taoist was overjoyed when he heard this and said:
It's great that you can come here from Hong Kong.
But how do we get these things in? They can't be brought in openly.
How about you prepare it over there and let me bring it over?"
Zhang Xudong shook his head and took out an iron ring from his pocket and showed it to the old Taoist.
"Master Dao, to tell you the truth, I have this.
Don’t think this thing is ugly, it can hold more things than your bag.”
The old Taoist suddenly realized:
"Now I understand, you brought those things out with this thing.
That's easy. I'll write you a list of materials later and leave it to you to prepare.
Oh, my ancestor, I don’t have to worry about money and plans anymore.
No need to be that stupid porter anymore.
Dongzi, you have helped me a lot, but I have no way to repay you.
How about we become sworn brothers?"
Zhang Xudong was at a loss whether to laugh or cry after hearing what the old Taoist said.
But before he could say anything, He Jingxian, who had just walked in, became unhappy.
She threw the storage bag in her hand to the old Taoist and said with disdain:
"I say, what are you thinking, you old Taoist?
You are in your early sixties. How many days can you live at most?
My brother Dong is only seventeen years old, and you want him to die with you on the same day?
What do you mean? Who are you cursing? We've been doing you too much, haven't we?
Are you still thinking of asking him to help you even in the presence of the King of Hell?
Why don’t you go and ask the King of Hell first whether he dares to take Dong Ge in?
Why do I look down on people like you who have no bottom line? "
