Mei Ru Z put the Sanqing Bell aside and told the two about the real business of this trip. She said, "Do you remember the last time you went with me to find a child? The family suddenly contacted me and said they had a big project and wanted to find someone to complete it. Money is not a problem!"

Chu Qianli was stunned when he heard this and suddenly thought of Shi Zhuoqu.

Tan Muxing looked at her tentatively, and he was obviously thinking about something, so he asked, "Is it Mr. Shi and the others?"

Mei Ru Z nodded: "Yes, but this time it was not Mr. Shi who came, but his brother. You may not remember him."

Chu Qianli: "Is he the person who was responsible for transferring the money to Sister Ru Z at that time?"

"You guys still remember him." Meiru Z said in surprise, "It's him."

Chu Qianli and Tan Muxing exchanged glances silently. They had just met Shi Zhuoqu in G City, and they didn't expect that the other party would contact Mei Ru Z.

"This project is different from the last one we took. I have confirmed it in advance this time. Although there are some screenings, I definitely don't have to take the civil service exam." Mei Ru Z is still upset about the exam questions from Professor Pan and others. She said dissatisfiedly, "The last exam questions made me shut myself up."

Chu Qianli: "Did they say what the project would do specifically?"

"It is said to be related to mining. We haven't discussed the details yet. We will have a confidentiality agreement after passing the assessment, and we will communicate the details at that time." Mei Ru Z said, "You also know that the workload of finding dragon points is huge. I was thinking that we should go together. You don't have a master, right?"

"You don't know how powerful the group is now. It's very difficult for people like us who are idle outside to get this kind of project. We can't compare with those who have a sect at all!"

Mei Ru Z inherited the skills from her family but had no master, so she naturally had no connections in any sect. Chu Qianli and Tan Muxing followed Pan Yicheng, and they would not form cliques, unlike Yu Ge and others who had a master.

Chu Qianli thought about the map on the Minor Arcana card. She could guess why Shi Zhuoqu and the forces behind him were looking for someone, so she asked, "Are you all forming a group?"

"I heard that several big sects have been approached, and there should be more groups. Don't say they are really powerful. Even the Qian Sect is planning to come." Mei Ru Z said, "You didn't leave your contact information for Mr. Shi last time, and his brother even came to me specifically to ask about you."

Shi Zhuoqu remembered that Chu Qianli was quite capable, but he had no idea of ​​her background at the time, and it was strange that she asked for his business card.

Tan Muxing asked suspiciously, "Are there any people from the Qian Sect? But isn't Taoist Master Xu Qian in seclusion?"

Tan Muxing remembered that Grandpa had said that Taoist Master Xu Qian would not come down the mountain, and he indeed had not seen him for a long time.

Meiru Z: "I don't know. Qianmen has not shown up in the past two years, and now it has come out of nowhere, so the competition pressure is very high."

When Chu Qianli heard that Shi Zhuoqu and others were recruiting people in a big way, he felt that they were not fishing to discover the truth about the 10 billion raw stones, but were probably recruiting teams for the next mining plan.

She was not sure she could complete the mining alone, and she was sure that the laymen would be even more confused. Now she planned to use her money ability to gather experts.

"Sister Ru Z, do they give a lot of money?" Chu Qianli asked curiously, "There must be masters who are not moved by money."

Meiru Z: "I guess it's just a matter of talking in different ways. Anyway, when it comes to talking to me, money is the most effective. If you are interested, we can sign up later and then we can talk to each other in detail."

Chu Qianli and others made an appointment with Mei Ru Z. They planned to go there together first to take a look and confirm the details before deciding whether to sign up.

The three of them said goodbye at the door of the teahouse. Mei Ru Z drove away to the parking lot, leaving only Chu Qianli and Tan Muxing.

Tan Muxing still remembered what the Taoist said that day. He looked at Chu Qianli and said, "The Taoist said that there would be a rare Taoist gathering in a year."

Taoist Master Xu Qian knew that he could not solve Chu Qianli's problem, so he suggested that they go and have a look at the time, maybe they could still have a chance. Now thinking about it, the time is about right.

"That makes sense now. This is not the Huashan Sword Contest. If there is a Pandao Conference, someone must have organized it." Chu Qianli said, "Gathering so many people must be a lot of work and effort. It costs so much, and no one knows what it is going to do."

"Are we going?"

Chu Qianli let out a long sigh.

Tan Muxing saw her looking depressed and asked concernedly, "What's wrong?"

"I haven't met so many colleagues in a long time. I will definitely be troubled by all kinds of monsters and demons!" Chu Qianli scratched his head in distress and muttered, "Will they besiege me again?"

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, not to mention that people in the same industry always look down on each other.

Tan Muxing didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "No way, I think you and Sister Ru Z get along well."

Chu Qianli whined aggrievedly: "Xingxing, if someone scolds me, will you stand by me and seek justice for me..."

Tan Muxing was puzzled by her question, and he subconsciously replied: "Of course, I am sure..." Stand on your side.

Chu Qianli's eyes sparkled, and he asked expectantly, "You'll definitely help me beat them up?"

Tan Muxing: “?”

Tan Muxing said hurriedly: "...Wait, according to common sense, shouldn't I be asking for justice for you?" Why did he suddenly take action?

Chu Qianli waved his hands in disdain: "Oh, you will know when the time comes. It's hard to explain to them. Some people will only listen after a beating!"

Tan Muxing seemed to understand why she was besieged before: "..."

Chu Qianli jumped around him and asked eagerly, "Will you help me? Will you help me?"

Tan Muxing couldn't promise to beat up all the fortune-tellers who opposed her. He thought for a moment and said gently, "I will help you."

Chu Qianli's face was filled with joy. He immediately felt like he had something to rely on and was about to put his hands on his hips in pride.

Regarding Muxing as a pacifist, he gently suggested: "If someone scolds you, I will cover your ears for you, and then you won't hear it, just like Sanqingling, and you won't want to hit the other person."

Chu Qianli: “?” He actually treated her as a bell and fooled her?

Qianshan is shrouded in clouds and mist, and the forests are lush and green.

Xu Zaiyuan was wearing a Taoist robe. He carefully put the peach wood sword into a cloth bag, then put it safely on his back. He carried the luggage to the gate of the Taoist temple to say goodbye to his master.

There are several Taoist priests standing behind Taoist Master Xu Qian. They will see off the new generation of Taoist priests as they go down the mountain today. These young Taoist priests will begin their own training and will no longer have their master by their side.

Xu Zaiyuan stood at the front of the group and took the lead in paying respect to Xu Qian and the others, as a final farewell before leaving the mountain. When he stood up, he felt a little dizzy, and looking at his master and others in front of the Taoist temple, he still felt a little unreal.

Xu Qian sensed his emotions and said calmly, "Zaiyuan, this is your first time going down the mountain. You must be mentally prepared. The outside world is different from the Qian Sect."

I would like to ask: "Master, what is the difference between the two?"

"You only need to judge the hexagrams inside the door, but you need to judge people when you leave this door. It is difficult to tell whether the hexagrams will bring good or bad luck, and it is difficult to tell whether people are good or evil. In fact, judging people is a hundred times more difficult than judging the hexagrams." Xu Qian said, "A gentleman waits for the right time to act. Although you are very accurate in judging the hexagrams, you are not always the same when judging people."

Xu Zaiyuan seemed to understand, but not quite. He bowed to Xu Gan and his uncles again, and finally went down the mountain slowly with the team.

After a while, the young Taoists stood at the foot of the mountain. They looked back and saw only steep green mountains, but no longer the Taoist temple on the top of the mountain.

He looked around and saw that the highway was flat and wide, completely different from the scenery in the mountains.

"Junior Master, shall we go?" The others were different from Xu Zaiyuan. They often went down the mountain and gave gentle reminders.

Xu Zaiyuan quickly came back to his senses. He subconsciously touched the peach wood sword and said, "Let's go."

The sun was scorching, but the air-conditioning in the high-rise building was strong enough to chill anyone who entered.

In the lobby on the first floor, Mei Ru Z met with Chu Qianli and others. She looked around the building and commented, "It's quite a big place."

"That's not the case, he's a wealthy man." Chu Qianli muttered.

Chu Qianli and Tan Muxing checked the building when they came. This building was built by the Mondsen Group and can be said to be one of its important bases in Beijing.

After a while, Shi Zhuoqu came out of the building. He hurried over to greet everyone and said politely, "Long time no see, teachers."

Mei Ru Z said bluntly: "I didn't expect that your business is more successful than Mr. Shi's."

"Master Mei, you're joking. The company is big, and I'm just an employee." Shi Zhuoqu was talking to Mei Ru Z. He noticed Chu Qianli's probing gaze and said politely, "The two teachers are still the same as before."

Chu Qianli always looked around curiously, while Tan Muxing followed quietly behind.

Meiru Z didn't hear the three chatting last time. She looked around and asked tentatively, "What? Are you familiar with each other?"

"We just chatted for a few minutes last time." Shi Zhuoqu explained, "Teacher Chu seems to like sizing people up."

Chu Qianli would occasionally stare at people, and it was unclear what she was thinking about, which made Shi Zhuoqu feel quite strange.

"Ah, I haven't seen you for a long time. It's quite new. I'll just take a few more glances." Chu Qianli was actually observing Shi Zhuoqu's expression, but she felt that the other party didn't know the truth about the raw stone dispute, so she didn't mention the matter of G City again.

Shi Zhuoqu would certainly not connect Chu Qianli with the person Abner mentioned. She and Tan Muxing were both from the national team, and no matter how you think about it, they had nothing to do with robbers. It was simply not related at all.

"Please come in, we will go upstairs to talk."

Shi Zhuoqu used his work ID to open the metal elevator and led the three people to the Qingyou office for a detailed discussion.

Inside the room, people gradually took their seats. Shi Zhuoqu spoke up, "I mentioned this to Master Mei last time. I wonder if the other two teachers already know the general situation?"

Chu Qianli: "Mining, right? Can I ask what they are collecting?"

"It is not convenient to disclose it now. Of course, if we can cooperate in the future, we will definitely inform you of the details after we sign a confidentiality agreement."

"Why don't you explain this clearly..." Chu Qianli glanced at Tan Muxing and pretended to be embarrassed, "It will be difficult for us to explain to the unit."

Chu Qianli saw that Shi Zhuoqu didn't know the two people's true identities, so he just pretended to be mysterious again.

Shi Zhuoqu said warmly, "I know that the nature of your work is different and you may not care much about material rewards, but there are still a lot of precious relics left in our mining area, which may interest you."

Chu Qianli was stunned: "Precious relics?"

"Yes, of course it's not a simple relic. I really don't understand that." Shi Zhuoqu spread his hands, "But you masters should be familiar with it. Maybe you will find it novel. It is closely related to various kinds of numerology."

Chu Qianli fell into deep thought.

Mei Ru Z said crisply: "I don't think the precious relics are novel, I just want to know how novel the reward is."

"Of course, if the teachers prefer something else, and the project goes smoothly, the remuneration will definitely satisfy you, and we will also clearly stipulate it in the contract." Shi Zhuoqu added, "Money is not a problem."

Meiru Z: "It's pretty crisp."

As the biggest beneficiary of the price difference of raw stones, Chu Qianli nodded in agreement and said pertinently: "It can be seen that you are financially strong." It is rare to meet such a fool with a lot of money.

"Are the three of you willing to sign up? We have a simple screening process, and we will need your contact information to notify you when the time comes." Shi Zhuoqu took the registration form on the table and handed it to Chu Qianli and others.

Chu Qianli glanced at the upper right corner of the registration form and saw the familiar snake and apple logo.

The registration form was far less detailed than the railway project, and basically only had contact information. The three of us filled it out and returned it to Shi Zhuoqu, which didn't take too long.

Shi Zhuo took it after thanking him. He casually browsed through it, took out Mei Ru Z's registration form, and then placed the registration forms on the table according to categories.

Chu Qianli noticed his little move and asked in surprise, "Why did you take out Sister Ru Z's registration form alone?"

"Really?" Mei Ru turned around quickly, "We are a team."

Shi Zhuoqu had not expected Chu Qianli to be so observant, so he had to explain: "It's like this, we have some internal rules for screening, Master Mei does not need to go through the preliminary selection process..."

Chu Qianli was surprised: "Why?"

Meiru Z: "You guys are not going to use this to blackmail me for money later, are you?"

Tan Muxing: "Can I ask about your rules?"

"Master Mei's teachings are related to the ruins of the mining site. In particular, you should have an antique from the ruins in your hands." Shi Zhuoqu confessed, "To be honest, we may need it later."

The three of them thought of Sanqingling at the same time.

Meiru Z was stunned: "But we are on the same team, can't we skip the primary election together?"

"I'm really sorry, we have relevant regulations. I believe that the preliminary selection will not be difficult for the other two teachers. You can form a group later." Shi Zhuoqu's answer was flawless. He had not seen Chu Qianli and Tan Muxing's abilities with his own eyes, so of course a preliminary selection was needed to identify them.

Mei Ru Z said angrily: "It's already been opened, how can this be justified!"

Shi Zhuoqu said calmly: "I'm sorry, the rules are the rules, and I don't have the authority to do that."

After a while, the three of them came out of the building. Mei Ru Z argued with Shi Zhuo Qu to no avail. She felt depressed for a moment and frowned, saying, "Why don't I go to the primary election with you guys?"

"No, Sanqingling finally managed to get Sister Ru Z admitted. Now she has a chance to prove that she is not a loser!" Chu Qianli declined. "Besides, if I wanted to be admitted, I would just take out the compass. I just don't want them to know now."

As soon as Shi Zhuoqu mentioned the Sanqingling, the clues in her mind connected into one, and naturally she was unwilling to reveal the compass and tarot cards.

Meiru Z reacted and said in surprise: "Oh, you also have a compass. Didn't you say it was related to the bell?"

"So, we will split up. Sister Ru Z will go check on the people who don't need the primary election first, and Xingxing and I will check on the people who need the primary election." Chu Qianli made the decision, "We have a grasp of the situation on both sides, so we can work together internally and externally when the time comes."
