Chapter 10: The Ring (3)

A trace of joy rose in Qi Jingtao's heart, and he looked at the Go magazine he had put in. A box of Tashan cigarettes with novel packaging suddenly appeared next to Go magazine, and Qi Jingtao shifted his attention to the cigarette box and meditated - come out.

The box of Tashan cigarettes with novel packaging really appeared in front of Qi Jingtao, picked it up and took a closer look, it was indeed Tashan cigarettes, which was basically the same as the current product style, but the pattern design style had changed. From the appearance, at least, the anti-counterfeiting mark is much more advanced, I haven't seen it, it should be a high-tech version that appeared later.

With the cigarette in hand, Qi Jingtao habitually opened the lid of the box and popped out one, lit it and took a puff. Well...... Why is the taste not right? It is lighter, it is not mellow enough, and the design of the cigarette looks very beautiful, this flavor is really not as comfortable as the 1996 version of Tashan smoke.

Qi Jingtao has a short history of smoking, and he learned it slowly after working in Nanyan Group. There are many smokers in Nanyan Group, and there is no shortage of tobacco masters, and tobacco tasters taste tobacco is a kind of work need, just like the wine tasters in the winery. Qi Jingtao and the tobacco taster of the technical center have studied tobacco tasting, although they cannot reach the level of tobacco taster, but the quality of a cigarette can still be tasted.

After tasting the 2016 version of Tashan cigarettes, Qi Jingtao can basically determine that Lao Qi is using the ring space. Looking at the ring space again, it became empty again, and the Go magazine he put in was gone, it should have been taken out by Lao Qi, right?

Well, the magazines I put in can be taken out by Lao Qi, and the cigarettes that Lao Qi put in can also be taken out by me. It seems that this ring space does not belong to me alone, and it is shared with Lao Qi? Of course, they can also be said to be alone.

After a while, another piece of paper appeared in the ring space, and there were no other items.

Qi Jingtao stared at the piece of paper floating alone in the space, there were words on it?

Qi Jingtao jumped up from the bed excitedly, grabbed a pen on the desk and wrote on the paper: Qi Jingtao 1996, are you Lao Qi?

The paper that entered the ring's space quickly disappeared, and within a few minutes another piece of paper appeared. Qi Jingtao naturally "took it" out, and it read: I knew it was you when I saw "Go" magazine, and it wouldn't be wrong, there was a subscription and signature record written by me on it. You and I are not good at calling each other, since you call me Lao Qi, I will call you Xiao Qi! It seems that Ming Cheng Dao has not lost his words, and we have all shared the benefits of his natal immortal ring. Unexpectedly, the ring he left behind could not only be used for storage, but also be connected across time and space. What a surprise!

"The subscription on Go magazine is obviously me, how can it be written by you?" Qi Jingtao muttered after reading it, grabbed the letterhead on the desk and wrote: "It's okay, you Lao Qi, I'm Xiao Qi, it's easy to distinguish this way." So, Lao Qi, are you okay over there? Grandma, Mom, Dad, and Sister are all right? Is the Ming Cheng Daoist you said the old man talking in the ring? What is your relationship with him?......

Qi Jingtao had too many questions and people and things to ask Lao Qi, so he tore off the entire page of letterhead before tearing it off and taking back the ring space. Seeing that the letterhead was gone, he lit a cigarette, smoked and waited. When a cigarette was almost finished, a piece of paper reappeared in the space, and Qi Jingtao couldn't wait to "take it out" to read.

"Hehe, you have a lot of questions, and I don't know how to talk about it. I, grandma, father, mother, and sister are all doing well, you don't have to worry about things here, everything here is taken care of by me, you can rest assured.

In 1996, you had to take care of your grandmother, father, mother, and sister, that was your responsibility, and you could never finish your work. The son wants to raise but does not wait, filial piety does not have to wait, there is no need to wait, I can't afford to wait. Now that we can communicate through the ring space, I believe that everything will only get better.

The matter of Ming Chengdao is a bit mysterious, I have been in contact with him for a short time, and many things have not been clarified, what happened is ......

……

So, Lao Qi and Xiao Qi used pieces of paper and the ring space as a transmission tool to initiate time-space instant communication that lasted more than twenty years.

Through written communication, Lao Qi knew that Ming Cheng Dao Chang kept his promise, and the arrival of 1996 time and space did not affect Xiao Qi's life too much, and the purpose of arriving in 1996 was really to go to the ancient tower to collect his beliefs and carry out his own cultivation, in an unpredictable time, judging from the situation of Ming Cheng Dao Chang, he only wanted to protect himself, and it should not be unfavorable to Qi Jingtao in 1996 time and space, as long as Xiao Qi helped him achieve his wish, there would be no accidents, right? Although this matter has not been finalized, it doesn't matter.

Lao Qi asked Xiao Qi about some personal, neighboring, domestic and international events he had experienced, and confirmed that the 1996 time and space before their contact was the historical time and space he had experienced, at least before they met at 1 a.m. on April 1, 1996. As for the future, Lao Qi doesn't have to think about it at all, it is impossible not to change, it is just the size and speed of change, which is not something he should consider now.

Xiao Qi also knew the source of the ring through Lao Qi and the story of Ming Cheng Dao. Although Lao Qi is also confused, it can be regarded as an explanation. There is one thing that Xiao Qi needs to pay special attention to, because he forced Ming Cheng Dao Chang to make an oath, and Lao Qi must also keep his promise to help Ming Cheng Dao Chang fulfill his wish. In essence, Lao Qi and Xiao Qi are actually the same person, and this task will fall on Xiao Qi, and Xiao Qi must complete this task to ensure that no other accidents occur.

Regarding this matter, Xiao Qi agreed without hesitation. After all, they are the same person, Lao Qi's business is Xiao Qi's business, and honesty is also what his father has taught him since he was a child. What's more, this matter is related to his own life safety, so he has to agree.

Through Lao Qi's answer, Xiao Qi's curiosity about the future was satisfied, mainly related to the ring space. Regarding the ring, Lao Qi actually doesn't understand. But he lives in a world surrounded by information networks, in an era when online literature is flooding. I have read a lot of online novels, and there are more routines in them, which can be regarded as "well-informed".

It doesn't matter if what is said in the online novel is true or not, anyway, it is true that he got a ring, and it is okay to explain it to Xiao Qi by referring to the novel routine. As for whether it's right or not, I don't know, the ring is on the hand, so let's explore it slowly. It is better to have a general direction than Xiao Qi to figure it out by himself, doesn't Lao Qi use the ring space before Xiao Qi? It can be seen that people's insight is very important.

What's more, about the people and things that will develop and change in the future, Lao Qi thinks that Xiao Qi doesn't need to know too much and add unnecessary troubles. It is not good for a person to know too many things around him that may and may not happen in the future, and it will only increase his thoughts and troubles.

Besides, things are developing and changing, and the meeting between Xiao Qi and Lao Qi is the birthplace of unpredictable changes. A small butterfly flapping its wings in the Amazon can cause an Atlantic storm, let alone a fairy ring that travels from 2016 to 1996?
