Upon hearing what Master Qiu said, Li Xiangdong smiled knowingly.
This rhetoric is quite ordinary.
"Never mind, no need for you to bother, Taoist priest. I have other matters to attend to. See you later!"
When Master Qiu saw that Li Xiangdong did not believe him, he immediately became anxious and grabbed Li Xiangdong's arm, refusing to let him leave.
You know what, this Taoist priest Qiu may look thin, but he's incredibly strong. Even someone like Li Xiangdong, who practices martial arts regularly, couldn't break free from him.
"Alright then, please speak, Daoist Master!"
Li Xiangdong became somewhat interested in him.
More precisely, I'm interested in his strength.
Master Qiu made a series of deductions, but the more he deduced, the more his brows furrowed.
Li Xiangdong sat leisurely opposite him, while Master Qiu seemed a bit flustered.
He muttered to himself, "Wait a minute, hey, why does this feel like a fresh start? Tsk tsk..."
Master Qiu deduced the formula three times, and finally took out a small brown medicine bottle from his pocket, carefully dripping two drops of the liquid from the brown bottle into his eyes.
He stared at Li Xiangdong for a while.
Then, Master Qiu was first surprised, then excited, and then he grabbed Li Xiangdong's hand tightly, his eyes shining, "You shall become my disciple!"
Li Xiangdong suddenly spat out the tea he had just drunk.
Master Qiu wiped his face.
Li Xiangdong quickly took out a handkerchief from his pocket to wipe Master Qiu's face, repeatedly saying, "I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry! Master, I didn't mean to, I was just too surprised!"
Why would someone immediately want to take on someone as an apprentice?
Wasn't the Taoist priest trying to tell his fortune to repay the kindness of being treated to taro and pork intestines?
How did he end up making that person his apprentice in return?
Master Qiu wiped his face clean, suppressing his nausea, and continued his persuasion, "You have a predestined connection with me. If you become my disciple, you will definitely be able to..."
Out of politeness, Li Xiangdong listened quietly as Master Qiu advised him for another hour.
He also thoughtfully bought two bottles of chilled soda for the parched Taoist priest Qiu.
During this process, he also learned that Master Qiu's Taoist name was Changchunzi.
His surname was Qiu, and he was a Taoist priest with the Taoist name Changchunzi.
Li Xiangdong, who was well-versed in Jin Yong's "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", immediately thought of Qiu Chuji.
Li Xiangdong asked him gossipy, "Master Qiu, what is your relationship with Qiu Chuji?"
"Master Changchun is the head of the Quanzhen School, the founder of the Longmen School of the Quanzhen School, and also the patriarch of this lesser school."
Master Qiu said respectfully.
So, out of his love for the TV series "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", Li Xiangdong treated Master Qiu to dinner again.
That's how the two met.
Of course, Li Xiangdong did not agree to become Master Qiu's apprentice.
But Master Qiu did not give up on the idea of taking on disciples.
Six months ago, Li Xiangdong asked him to do something important, and he took the opportunity to ask Li Xiangdong to become his apprentice.
However, Li Xiangdong would rather give him three million to build a Taoist temple than agree to become a Taoist priest.
Now, Master Qiu looked deeply at Li Xiangdong, and something that had been binding his heart seemed to crack slightly.
It was as if something was stirring, about to break through the soil.
The greatest truths are the simplest, without form or image.
Understanding the Way requires rectifying one's mind, but it has nothing to do with a person's status or position.
Why should he be so insistent on bringing Li Xiangdong under his wing?
Upon realizing this, Master Qiu instantly regained his senses.
Yanjing (Beijing).
The top leaders were listening to a report on immigration, and Liu Donglai was among them.
"Currently, all the residents of the five cities (prefectures) have been relocated to Yibin and Panzhihua."
Factories, hospitals, schools, and government offices are all fully prepared.
"The troops have been ordered to be fully stationed, and protective measures have been taken in key areas to ensure safety."
"Okay, we must pay close attention to the movements of foreign spies and not give them any opportunity to take advantage of us."
"clear!"
"What did the National Earthquake Administration say?"
"No earthquake early warning signals have been detected so far."
"knew."
The people giving their reports left the meeting room in an orderly fashion, leaving only five people in the large room.
A leader with a refined demeanor and wearing black-rimmed glasses said, "I hope this isn't true."
Despite the large-scale mobilization and significant resource expenditure, the leader still hoped that no earthquake would occur.
However, Liu Donglai is not one to speak carelessly.
This Changchunzi had previously successfully predicted the Yanling earthquake, so they had to take precautions.
Looking up at the wall clock, time ticked by, second by second.
It is now 2:28:04 PM on May 12, 2008.
Then they suddenly felt a slight tremor.
The conference room door was pushed open, and a solemn-looking middle-aged man hurried in. "There's been an earthquake!"
An earthquake has occurred.
The rock mass about 10 kilometers underground could no longer withstand the weight of hundreds of years of twisting and turning, and suddenly fractured and shifted, igniting the fuse of this major earthquake!
Two seconds later, the seismic waves triggered by the rupture began to reach the Earth's surface.
The town of Yingxiu, located above the epicenter, suddenly began to rise!
Three seconds later, the rupture burst out of the ground along the fault line!
The earth shook violently, and the vibrations spread at a speed of about 3 kilometers per second!
Fifteen seconds later, as the seismic waves spread, they were felt in Wenchuan County, Maoxian County, Dujiangyan, and even Chengdu!
The rupture continued to extend, and 25 seconds later, it was felt in places like Beichuan!
45 seconds later, the massive earthquake created a rupture zone approximately 120 kilometers long!
In just 30 seconds, most of the energy accumulated over hundreds of years of plate tectonics was released!
