Chapter 301 Second Update
"Why did you go to Spark Island..." After Bai Ruoru said this, she fell into silence.
This period of silence contained worry about Ning Mingmei, disbelief, and another reason - she thought of an old friend.
Xiang Wuxing, who had gone with her to find Spark Island, encountered danger together, was captured by Master Wuwei together, took all the responsibility on himself, and finally had his legs broken by his master.
She hadn't seen him for a long time. It has been so long that no one would mention him in front of her.
"So your sudden disappearance for two months is related to the environment of Xinghuo Island?" Bai Ruoru said.
Ning Mingmei said: "Yes, I suspect there is a strange gravitational field above it."
Ning Mingmei explained his findings and inferences, and started with the spiritual field causing time changes, outlining the principles in a simpler and more complex way. Then he got too deep to explain... When Ning Mingmei was explaining the formula to Bai Ruoru, Bai Ruoru said, "That's enough, stop talking about academics. When you come back, explain it to your group of disciples."
Ning Mingmei felt a little regretful: "Senior sister, since you became an administrator, you have become less and less interested in academics."
Is this the curse of administration? But Bai Ruoru is a pragmatist, not one who likes to engage in theory.
Bai Ruoru said: "Then do you have a way to get out of here? Don't go to the Black Sea alone. It's very dangerous there."
"It's difficult." Ning Mingmei said, "But I have a way - continue to use the teleportation array."
Bai Ruoru was worried: "Didn't you say that the spiritual energy on Spark Island is thin?"
"I can make equipment to collect spiritual energy." Ning Mingmei said, "Place them in various places on Spark Island. After a period of time, I will be able to collect the spiritual energy I need. When that time comes, I will inject it into the teleportation array, and then I can come back."
"Well, how long will that take?"
"I'm not sure yet. I need to calculate." Ning Mingmei said, "But cultivators have a long lifespan. We will meet in Qingji Sect one day."
"you also……"
He heard Bai Ruoru let out a soft sigh.
you also. you also.
It’s like Qi Miancheng is “dead”. Xiang Wuxing was trapped in the demon clan's barrier. Fang Wu Yu stayed indoors at Baiyun Peak and refused to see anyone. And now Ning Mingmei has also left Qingji Sect and is trapped on Xinghuo Island.
Bai Ruoru was once the chivalrous woman who loved traveling the most. Eventually, she learned to stay in Qingji Sect for everyone and learned to get used to separation.
"Senior Brother Yin is here." Ning Mingmei said.
"Yeah. You are lonelier than us." Bai Ruoru said.
"The future is bright, and we will all meet again. We will meet at the end without the haze." Ning Mingmei said, "Let's eat hot pot then."
Bai Ruoru laughed softly: "Why is it your turn to comfort others? Mingmei, you are more lonely and miserable than us."
It seems that Bai Ruoru already knows part of Ning Mingmei's life experience (Jiang Heng parent-child version). But her gentleness made her not say it explicitly, nor did she greet him, but just continued as usual.
"By the way, don't hang up yet." Bai Ruoru said, "I'm going to Siguo Cliff. Lian Chengyue is still waiting for you there."
"ah?"
"Before you made the first call, I went to find Lian Chengyue and told him that you would look for him at that time the next day, and asked him to wait at the entrance of the cliff so that he could be summoned when you called the next day. After all, I didn't know how long your call would last, and it would be troublesome if it delayed your work. Later, your second call never came, and I went to the cliff at that time on the second, third, and fourth days. But after a few days, I stopped going." Bai Ruoru said, "But Lian Chengyue, until today, he still waits at the same place under the cliff at that time every day."
“…”
"He said his master never breaks his word. Since he said he would come find him, he will definitely come find him." Bai Ruoru said, "Let's go over there quickly. He should be at the bottom of the cliff."
There was a whistling sound from the other end of the phone, and Ning Mingmei couldn't tell whether it was the snowy wind from the Qingji Sect or his own breathing. Finally, he heard Bai Ruoru say, "We're here."
"He is indeed just below the cliff."
Bai Ruoru probably said a few words to Lian Chengyue and handed the phone to him. Ning Mingmei waited until Lian Chengyue spoke: "Master."
His voice was respectful, as humble and low-key as usual, and he didn't sound aggrieved, nor did he deliberately try to gain sympathy. Ning Mingmei said: "I heard that you are now imprisoned in the Cliff of Repentance."
Lian Chengyue said: "Yes, Master. However, with the help of Master Bai and Master Yin Feng, I can still use the learning tools in the Cliff of Repentance. I can still read, do some experiments, and read academic journals. I just can't work part-time. My research is still continuing."
Ning Mingmei: "Oh..."
Lian Chengyue said: "Although I can no longer publish papers, I can still continue to attend classes. The other teachers in the academy sympathized with me and recorded their own classes with the developing stones. Every day, Senior Sister Ren would come here regularly and hand over the developing stones to me. Although the blessed land of Dongtian is evil, they must not have thought that they could not deprive me of the right to receive education."
Ning Mingmei: ...
It is indeed difficult to be deprived of. People who want to come to this paradise would never know that for Lian Chengyue, the most important thing in the world is to receive education.
Lian Chengyue: "But my heart is still filled with sadness. Because, Master, I haven't seen you for four months. Master, I have finished writing my review, revising my paper, and completing my experiments. When I left the lab, I cleaned every test tube and put them on the shelf. I also handed over the projects that had to be done in the lab to other senior sisters and brothers. But Master, you never showed up."
Ning Mingmei: ...
Lian Chengyue: "Master, I'm really scared. I'm afraid you'll leave and never come back."
Ning Mingmei: "Don't worry, I didn't run away."
Lian Chengyue: "Moreover, the previous leader of Qiansheng Peak left a sword to Senior Brother Mu Hanshan when he left. You didn't even leave a sword for me."
...Don't compare yourself with bad things! !
Ning Mingmei coughed and said, "My situation is complicated now. Because it's complicated, it's hard to explain."
Lian Chengyue: "Master, can you tell me a little bit? I can help you."
Ning Mingmei: "You are imprisoned in the cliff of remorse yourself, how can you help?"
Lian Chengyue said: "Master, I can forge a pass to get out, bypass the home-school communication system, and sneak out. Besides, I have a few good friends."
…
Since Bai Ruoru was nearby, Lian Chengyue would certainly not reveal the secret of her vest. But Ning Mingmei said, "I can handle it myself. You coming here will only cause more trouble."
It seems that Ning Mingmei still doesn't have enough confidence in his own abilities. Lian Chengyue thought. If he wants to become stronger than Ning Mingmei and be able to protect Ning Mingmei, he cannot tell Ning Mingmei the secrets of his aliases. He must continue to plunder and allow the aliases to develop better. As the saying goes, I cannot hug you even if I am wearing a vest, and I cannot hug you while I am wearing a vest.
But now, he can't even publish a paper. If that's the case, how can Ning Mingmei look at him with new eyes? When Ning Mingmei came back, he found that thirty years had passed and he was still a PhD without a single paper. What's the point of having a PhD like this? In the laboratory, he is a funding thief despised by everyone.
Funding thief!
Thinking of this, Lian Chengyue felt even more angry and hateful towards the people in Dongtianfudi. When he becomes the principal of Qingji Sect in the future, he will definitely throw all these old men out. As the saying goes, don't bully the young because they are poor. The good thing about the secular world is that by the time the young have grown up, the old men will have long since died. Here, the old Dengs are immortal, which gives Lian Chengyue a lot of room to grow. By then, he will cut off the pensions of these old people, confiscate their houses with only 70 years of property rights, and make them called tax thieves. At the same time, he will use Ponzi scheme health products to plunder their property.
hehe!
Bai Ruoru walked away. Ning Mingmei said softly at this moment: "I have heard about your affairs in Qingji Sect."
Lian Chengyue: "What's the matter? Master, I was framed. It was not intentional. I did it accidentally. I have no intention of academic fraud. Master, please don't expel me from your sect."
Ning Mingmei: "Those rumors about me..."
"All the rumors are false. But even if Master is a cauldron, he is still the best Master. Besides, doesn't this make Master seem even more powerful?" Lian Chengyue said.
It looks like Lian Chengyue is going to play dumb until the end. He was very tight-lipped. Even when facing Ning Mingmei, he acted as if he knew the truth. Ning Mingmei had never been to Changle Gate and had never done anything. He was just slandered by the supreme elders.
Ning Mingmei: "Yeah, okay."
Since Lian Chengyue said so, Ning Mingmei just followed her advice. He said, "There is still a time difference between you and me these days. I will talk to you regularly in the future. As for academic matters, you can send emails. I will deal with them once a month."
This sounds more like a big boss. Ning Mingmei handles emails once a month and is a visiting professor who is rarely seen in the school. Suddenly, he looks more like an academician.
Lian Chengyue: "Okay, Master. Can I also email you about my problems in life?"
Ning Mingmei: "If you have any problems in life, go to Lin Heting."
Lian Chengyue: "Master, I am very introverted. I am embarrassed to look for my senior brother."
Introvert.
Ning Mingmei said: "Don't talk nonsense, send the information to my email and I will take a look when I have time."
Lian Chengyue readily agreed: "Okay."
Ning Mingmei always felt that Lian Chengyue's personality seemed to have changed a little. This seems to have happened after the Changle Gate Incident. In the past, Lian Chengyue would only work hard and roll with the punches, and wouldn't have talked so much nonsense. He said, "It's not good to bother Master Bai every time. So, I will ask Bai Mian to come here regularly with his cell phone."
Lian Chengyue nodded: "Thank you, Master."
"As for those supreme elders, you don't have to worry about them. They will pay the price." Ning Mingmei said lightly, "They are too careless to fight me."
"Master is a civilized person. How could a civilized person know that barbarians would use such dirty and barbaric methods." Lian Chengyue said.
Ning Mingmei: "Of course. I have already planned to adjust my understanding of them."
"But what Master doesn't know is that Master has always relied too much on himself. Others can also become Master's strength." Lian Chengyue suddenly said, "For example, in the previous incident, Master could have brainwashed and coerced some assassins to do it for Master."
Ning Mingmei said: "That's not necessary."
"It is because Master thinks this way that Master is a gentleman." Lian Chengyue said, "But even without brainwashing and coercion, Master can still get the death warriors who are willing to help Master."
Ning Mingmei said: "Forget it, I'm worried."
"There are people who will never betray their master." Lian Chengyue said, "In fact, it's not just me. Many disciples would be willing to do this for their master. As for the disciples, I believe that Senior Brother Wen, Senior Brother Lin, Senior Brother Gui, Senior Brother Bai, Senior Sister Ren, and Senior Sister Jiang would all do this. As for the people in the back mountain, I believe that Teacher Gui, Teacher Xu, Teacher Huang, Teacher Bai, Teacher Wu, Teacher Xue... They would all be willing to do this for their master, even if the price is their lives."
"As for Master's colleagues, I believe that Sect Leader Bai and Peak Master Xiang will be willing to give everything for Master. And Peak Master Zhang, Peak Master Yin, and many more Peak Masters... as long as Master is in trouble, they will help Master."
"There are even more people from the outer sect. The older generation has Lu Louzhu, the younger generation has Kong Huan and Ye Guimu... Master, there are actually many people who are willing to help you and sacrifice their lives for you."
"Favors should be used wisely. When it comes to things you can solve yourself, try to avoid using favors," said Ning Mingmei.
Lian Chengyue said: "So Master actually doesn't want to pollute them or implicate them. Master, you always act indifferent, but you are actually very kind."
Ning Mingmei: "If there is nothing else to do, I will hang up."
And when Lian Chengyue was counting the soldiers just now, how come he missed only one person, Qi Miancheng? Was it intentional or accidental.
"Master, in fact, Master is also very important to me, more important than anyone else." Lian Chengyue suddenly said, "In the past, I was only angry, but never thought about what I really wanted to do. I could only smash everything in anger. It was Master who made me realize that there are calmer and more rational solutions in this world. There are also things that are more worth pursuing."
"Anger is good, keep it. To live, one must rely on anger at the world to support one's backbone. Don't stigmatize anger." This was the only answer Ning Mingmei gave.
Lian Chengyue: "Yes, Master. I think there is love in this kind of anger. People are angry because the things they cherish are destroyed and their bright future is blocked. People are angry because they love something and have ideals. It is not an emotion that is worthy of self-loathing. So, I feel angry when they hurt Master."
Ning Mingmei: ...
How come the conversation always comes back to him? Ning Mingmei said again: "If there's nothing else, I'll hang up."
Lian Chengyue: "Master, you must be lonely out there alone. You can come to me whenever you need me. Because I am now reflecting on my mistakes in the Cliff of Repentance, and I am lonely too. Haha, Master, you don't have to think that you are disturbing me."
At this moment, Qi Miancheng's body was lying peacefully in his own blessed land. How could this not be considered a kind of burning winter and three places of solitude?
Ning Mingmei: "Is it considered disturbing you if I come to you? You are so bold. Besides, I have something to keep me company on the island."
Lian Chengyue: "What is that? Is it Master's sword? I remember that Master has three swords."
...It would be a bit ridiculous for a sword cultivator to have only a sword to accompany him. Ning Mingmei felt in his pocket and found the snow bamboo mushroom.
Ning Mingmei said indifferently: "It's a living thing."
Lian Chengyue's voice suddenly became a little gloomy: "Could it be a human?"
Ning Mingmei: "It's called Friday."
A deserted island, alone, Ning Mingmei is also a kind of Robinson Crusoe, it's a pity that Friday is a mushroom.
"Okay, I won't waste my time talking to you anymore." Ning Mingmei said, "I'm hanging up."
He was about to hang up the phone when Lian Chengyue suddenly said, "Master, in my heart, you are like a Yangtze River Scholar."
"What Yangtze River Scholar? I haven't even come up with this title yet, how come you invented it yourself?" Ning Mingmei laughed, "I'm an academician of both the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Chinese Academy of Engineering, how come I'm just a Yangtze River Scholar in your eyes? I'm dead."
There was a busy tone on the other end of the line. Lian Chengyue held Bai Ruoru's cell phone, his expression changing from gloomy to bright.
The gloomy feeling came from the fact that Ning Mingmei was not alone, but had a Friday by his side. It was clear because he finally expressed his hidden feelings. He didn't know whether Ning Mingmei had noticed it.
However, Ning Mingmei was so accomplished in academics that he must have heard of that poem.
“You live at the head of the Yangtze River, I live at the tail of the Yangtze River. I miss you every day but I can’t see you. We drink the water of the Yangtze River together.” Lian Chengyue silently recited this poem in his heart, “Master… I miss you but I can’t see you. You are a scholar, so I call you…”
"Changjiang Scholars are welcome."
Although Ning Mingmei ran away not long after he entered the company, and his courses became online courses and his academic qualifications became correspondence courses, Lian Chengyue felt that he still had a bright future and that Ning Mingmei would definitely come back soon. And I will not become a teaching PhD.
"Master..." he muttered softly.
At the same time, Lian Chengyue's several aliases are still walking in the six realms.
…
On the other side, Ning Mingmei hung up the phone. From the conversation with Bai Ruoru, he knew that the other party would do her best to protect him. Since Fang Wuyu had already shut himself in, it seemed that he would not trip him up. Moreover, the academic machine of Piaomiao Peak was still running at full capacity. Since Ning Mingmei might come back, all his allies would never let this ship sink.
Even Jiang Ying, who had the upper hand over Ning Mingmei, deliberately let him go because he didn't want to break up with him. This made things easier. What's more, apart from Jiang Ying, the only one who could manipulate public opinion was the Houshan Group behind Ning Mingmei.
Ning Mingmei also told Bai Ruoru how to rescue Xiang Wuxing. He packaged the plan so that it looked like he had come up with it himself. Bai Ruoru was obviously very happy. Although that area is under the control of the demon world and there is no way to rescue it for the time being, there is hope, which always comes first.
In this case, there is only one thing Ning Mingmei has to do now.
Study Spark Island, study the Black Sea, find a way to leave, and then bring people back to solve the Black Sea problem.
Ning Mingmei came to the center of the academy, where he finally saw the sign of the academy - it turned out to be called "Wild Horse Academy". He looked at the dim sky. Since he was going to stay here for a long time, he first needed some lighting.
It just so happened that Ning Mingmei had a magical tool that could be used for lighting.
"Let there be light." Ning Mingmei said.
He took out his magic weapon in the square in the center of Mustang Academy. This was once the place where various ceremonies were held on Spark Island. People listen to speeches here, facing the rising sun. Now, the sunshine is covered by haze, but there will always be new light sources rising.
Ning Mingmei stretched out his hands, held up the disc-shaped magic weapon in his hands, and watched it rise into the sky quietly.
From then on, Spark Island had its moon.
White moon.
The white moon hangs quietly in the sky. Shining on this island trapped in the gray fog and standing firm in the black sea.
