Chapter 193 The first appearance of Chu's father
Over there, Qiu Wuji used the earth escape technique and drilled deeper and deeper, soon surpassing the dozens of meters that the geological team had originally drilled into, and reached deeper underground, until the thick rock layer blocked their way and they no longer had enough strength to drill deeper, so they stopped.
She wanted to understand the source of the so-called spiritual revival more than anyone else in the world.
Unfortunately, it was different from what she had imagined. She had thought that if she searched further down, she would find more concentrated spiritual energy, and then follow the clues to find the source. However, the further she went down, the thinner it became. When she stopped, the spiritual energy was gone...
So it's not coming from below, but from other directions?
It doesn't look like it. If it came horizontally, then other places would also be filled with spiritual energy. How come only Lao Zhu's mine has it?
How strange.
Qiu Wuji has been to countless secret realms and various dungeons, and has rarely seen such strange phenomena. No wonder no one has found the solution for all these years.
Did it come from heaven?
A scene emerged in her mind... On a certain day of a certain month, a ball of spiritual energy fell from the sky. Wherever it landed, spiritual energy was generated, and those who were bathed in it developed supernatural powers.
Although it sounds a bit absurd, it is actually the closest judgment based on the current investigation results.
In fact, this is also the official's current interim judgment that spiritual energy is recovering simultaneously around the world and not from just one source.
The most supporting evidence for her idea is that the spiritual energy of the Lao Zhu mine is dissipating, and it seems that it will disappear in a few years. This shows that there is no strong source of spiritual energy that can supply it for a long time, and it will dissipate sooner or later as it is developed and excavated.
No wonder the national SSS doesn’t bother with these things. Only they and outsiders like Du Lianfeng who have just heard about it are interested in it.
Thinking of this, Qiu Wuji did not feel disappointed that the clue was interrupted, but instead sighed.
This fake purple sand mine, whose spiritual energy will dissipate in a few years, and whose spiritual energy is only so thin before it dissipates, has caused so much trouble and even caused fatal disasters...
Qiu Wuji shook his head and burrowed back into the ground.
Wait a minute…
Passing by the part dug up by the geological team, Qiu Wuji suddenly stopped again.
She suddenly felt a sense of disobedience.
The Earth Escape Technique does not involve breaking through the earth, but rather blending the body into the earth. Especially since the essence of this body is a soul, it blends in cleanly and neatly without squeezing out the surrounding rocks and soil.
But this time, when it passed by, it knocked open a small piece of broken rock.
Qiu Wuji stared at the broken rock carefully, the more he looked at it, the more weird it seemed.
A piece of rock that is no different from the surrounding ones. It is just a small part of the rock that was broken off when someone dug it up. Its cross-section, texture, and even internal structure are completely consistent with all the rocks in this place. Even the traces of spiritual energy contained in them are no different.
But how could it be knocked open by itself?
Isn't this a stone? What is it?
Qiu Wuji stared at it closely, as if he felt that the stone was also looking at him.
She frowned and thought for a while, thinking that this couldn't be the source of spiritual energy, but rather had some other meaning. Maybe it was Calvin Choi who was observing this place as Chu Ge had guessed?
She didn't touch the stone, pretending that she didn't see anything, and returned directly to the ground.
Chugo was rubbing his hands and walking around in the mine above, like a husband waiting outside the delivery room for his wife to give birth.
Seeing Qiu Wuji appear, Chu Ge breathed a sigh of relief and went forward to hug him: "It's been so long, I was so anxious..."
Qiu Wuji felt a little sweet in his heart. He was worried about his own situation instead of asking what he had gained.
"Nothing." She said lightly, "I can't get any pearls for you this time."
As he spoke, he transmitted his thoughts: "I have some other discoveries. Tell me when you get back."
Chu Ge understood and said with a smile: "If there is nothing, then there is nothing. The mine has been here for so many years. If there is anything, it would have been discovered long ago. We are here to try our luck. Do you really think you can find something that others can't find in just a few minutes..."
Qiu Wuji smiled and said, "I really wanted to, otherwise who would come to dig the hole."
“Haha…” Chu Ge pulled her hand and walked out: “That’s the treatment of the protagonist. Since I found that the copyright cannot be sold, I know that I don’t have that treatment. Be honest and go home to write.”
"Aren't you being treated as the protagonist? Yes, you've surpassed the treatment of the protagonist." Qiu Wuji muttered twice, without saying anything else, and the two of them returned to the cable car and went all the way back to the ground.
Calvin Choi was still standing there waiting. When he saw the two of them coming out, he stared at Chu Ge with an ambiguous look, looked him up and down, and said with a smile, “Great, great. You can even do this kind of environment.”
Chu Ge pretended to kick: "Okay, no, go back."
Cai Zhijian did not feel depressed about wasting his time and came here in vain. He still smiled and drove the two back to the hospital.
…………
“This incident still makes me feel that the family needs a man.” Lao Zhu leaned on the hospital bed, holding Cai Zhijian’s hand and sighed: “Take good care of Mengmeng.”
Calvin Choi answered with great force: “Don’t worry, Dad. I will move back as soon as I get back.”
Zhu Mengmeng looked somewhat happy.
"You're getting old, so stop playing around and live a good life and have a baby." Old Zhu advised Zhu Mengmeng again.
Zhu Mengmeng said "Oh".
"As for this mine..." Old Zhu hesitated for a moment, then said, "I really don't want it anymore... I plan to sell this mine to the state at market price. That's the most appropriate destination for it, and it won't hurt anyone. In the future, we'll make teapots and sell tea leaves. It's actually a huge profit, enough for you to have several children and not finish it all."
Zhu Mengmeng had no interest in the mine, but she was quite happy to hear this: "That's the way it should be. Let them go to the government. Now those people haven't left yet, I'm afraid they will come back and attack."
Calvin Choi smiled but said nothing.
Qiu Wuji said, "The possibility of a surprise attack is not high, don't worry too much. But I have something else to ask uncle. Was there any special situation when the geological team came to investigate?"
Lao Zhu thought for a moment and said, "There are a few people who don't look like members of the geological team. Oh, and the leader looks a bit like Chu Ge, haha."
Chu Ge was startled: "Looks a bit like me? How old is he?"
"He's about fifty years old, very handsome, with a moustache like Lu Xun, and looks a bit like a scholar."
Chugo: "...It's okay then."
Qiu Wuji sent a thought: "What? I want to ask..."
Chu Ge: "What are you asking? It's my dad. You can tell by the beard. Who else can be as handsome as me..."
Qiu Wuji: “…”
So that strange stone was left by Chu’s father?
Stay and observe this mine?
That stone is so strange...
Seeing her thoughtful look, Chu Ge telepathically said, "If there's anything special, we can talk about it later. At worst, I can ask my mom. She should know everything. It's better than guessing blindly."
Qiu Wuji nodded.
Chu Ge said, "There's nothing for us to do here. Qiuqiu and I will go back first?"
"I'll see you off." Zhu Mengmeng affectionately took Qiu Wuji's arm and walked out: "Qiuqiu~ you are really my noble lady. If I were the emperor, I would definitely take you into the harem."
Chu Ge said angrily: "Hey, as if I didn't do anything, you're just going to kidnap my girlfriend like this?"
Qiu Wuji smiled and said, "Father and daughter, her father wants to marry his daughter to you as if I didn't contribute at all."
Zhu Mengmeng smiled and whispered, "Qiuqiu is so cute when she's jealous..."
"Hey, who is jealous of him? You are just a stinky pig. If you have the guts, go and get him."
"I'm not capable, I'm afraid of being beaten by you." Zhu Mengmeng said with a smile: "Maybe my husband is capable. I can see that he and Chu Ge are connected by a line. I don't know if it's friendship or gay love. Hehe."
Qiu Wuji glanced at Chu Ge.
Chu Ge paused for a moment, then laughed and cursed as if nothing had happened: "Fuck, I'm really not a male ketone!"
Qiu Wuji asked: "Mengmeng, can you tell what relationship these lines represent?"
"Except for the love line, which is relatively easy to identify, I can't see the others." Zhu Mengmeng sighed a little: "Maybe I can see it after practicing more. Now it's not much different from my father's unreliable divination. Who doesn't have some relationship lines? You and I have some too."
Chu Ge asked casually, "Do Lao Cai and Zhong Yi also have a connection?"
"After all, he is an acquaintance, so there must be one..."
Damn, I just came back and I can't sleep.
