Chapter 17: Busy in vain

The owner of the car is the executive vice president of a 4A advertising company, and last night because of the delay in advertising shooting, he took the whole team to work overnight, and returned home at 6 o'clock in the morning this morning. At half past ten, she received a call from the company, asking her to bring a few people from the team to the company before half past eleven to have a meeting with a clothing customer.

As soon as she fell asleep, she was picked up for a meeting, and when she informed the news, the people under her command naturally complained and wailed.

Passing by Yudaihu Park, she remembered the popular fried chicken restaurant that many girls in the company have been talking about recently, and there were not many people at that time, so she got out of the car and bought ten servings of fried chicken and milk tea, planning to make up for the injured hearts of her subordinates with sugar-coated cannonballs.

She was so hungry that when she waited for the traffic light, she opened one of the fried chickens and ate it.

Then, she lost her memory, and then she realized that she was already floating in the air like a kite, and the car was destroyed.

"Could it be that there is something wrong with that fried chicken restaurant?" Xu Mu recounted what he heard to Shen Liang, and added a sentence at the end. He suddenly remembered that on the way home that day, when Fu Zhu said that when he felt the breath of a lot of formations nearby, there were also many people holding the fried chicken from that store and eating it while walking. In addition, Qin Mian also likes to eat the fried chicken of that store!

"It's very likely that last time I met a person who passed out on the road, also holding a box of fried chicken. Shen Liang nodded, took out the narrow strip of yellow paper from the baggage, and pulled out the top one.

This time, the yellow paper is only two fingers wide, and the bottom is hollowed out with a pattern of three copper coins on the outside and on the inside. The little Taoist priest hesitated for a moment with a small face, lowered his head and wrote a few crooked strokes in the blank space above.

"Do you want to draw talismans?" Xu Mu observed carefully beside him, and always felt that it was a bit like Chinese characters.

Shen Liang puffed out his cheeks and blew the surface of the yellow paper vigorously, wanting to help it do it quickly, "It's not Fu, it's the 50,000 yuan of toll money prepared for her." โ€

Xu Mu: ..................

It turned out that the three words written by Shen Liang were "50,000 yuan"!

Shen Liang flicked his fingers and lit the piece of paper in his hand, and said in the direction of the female ghost, "Yin and Yang have a way, don't pass by, these 50,000 yuan will be sent to you for the road money." โ€

After the green smoke curled and the yellow paper burned out, several pale green banknotes with a denomination of 10,000 appeared in the female ghost's hands, and the two huge words on them flashed fluorescently, [Dark Coin].

Withdraw as much as you write? Dare to love that yellow paper engraved with copper coins is the check of the prefecture?

Xu Mu looked at the pile of yellow paper in Shen Liang's hand with envy, if he wrote a million each, wouldn't he send it?

Bah, bah, Lao Tzu is a living person, what's the use of asking for dark coins!

Xu Mumeng reacted and knocked himself on the head.

"Let's go, let's go to that fried chicken shop. Shen Liang packed up his things and turned his head to greet Xu Mu.

"Now?" "Model worker, the moon is dark and the wind is high and you are still rushing to such a dangerous place?"

"Isn't it the best time to break this evil formation when the time comes?" Shen Liang stared at Xu Mu with wide black and white eyes.

Xu Mu: ..................

The better advice is not to go, it's dark, and the good boy won't grow taller if he doesn't hurry home and sleep.

Xu Mu cleared his throat, "Otherwise, we'll go over tomorrow during the day?"

"There are a lot of people during the day, and the breath is too mixed, so it's hard to see the problem, so let's go now. Shen Liang repeated his old tricks, dragging Xu Mu's wrist and running towards the entrance of the park.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk," the man in a white suit sitting on the railing across the street shook his head with a milk tea cup, "Xiao Erhei, our reputation for loving money is quite loud." โ€

"It's time, get ready to work. Hei Xi looked at his watch nonchalantly, and patted him on the back of his hand.

"Tap it, this new suit was bought for 300,000 coins, you are so angry, be careful to break it for me. The white suit avoided it in disgust.

"Whose card did you swipe?"

White Suit: ..................

"There are also a pair of 700,000 mountain ghost handmade shoes last week, a 200,000 100% pure spider silk shirt last week, and a ...... last week" The black suit took out a small black book from his pocket and began to check the accounts one by one.

"It's time, get to work!" the white suit smiled flatteringly, raised his hand and threw the empty cup into the trash can, jumped to the ground neatly, pretended to be very busy and pulled out a white bone chain from his waist, and rushed towards the female ghost across the road. Shameless guy, he actually secretly kept a black account for one hundred and fifty years!

The black suit slowly picked up the book, shrunk the ground into inches, and kept up with the pace of the white suit in the blink of an eye, "Be friendly, don't scare the newcomers, it's good that the people have prepared money to buy the road." โ€

The fried chicken restaurant was open until half past ten in the evening, and when Xu Mu and the others arrived, the entire row of stores, including the fried chicken restaurant, had already closed, and the neighborhood was empty.

Fu Zhu and Babu raised their heads and sniffed for a while, and ran to the back of the store in unison, Xu Mu and Shen Liang hurriedly followed.

There were two large bags of tied garbage at the back of the store, and the black cat stretched out his paws and tore up a bag, and the used milk tea cup fried chicken box gushed out like a torrent, almost burying the black cat underneath, and the husband quickly jumped on the railing next to him and escaped.

Xu Mu looked at the garbage all over the ground in embarrassment, what can there be here?

Shen Liang bent down to pick up a fried chicken box soaked in oil flowers, frowned and looked at it, and found the clue after a while. He picked up another milk tea cup and saw the bottom of the cup from the lid of the cup, and sure enough, he found the same thing, "These fried chicken boxes and milk tea cups are all sub-arrays of the Yang Recording Array." โ€

"Sub-array?"

Shen Liang turned the fried chicken box upside down, the bottom of the box was facing up, and he gestured with the octagonal logo printed at the bottom, "This pattern, together with the ring shape of the bottom of the box itself, just forms a sub-array of the Yang Recording Array, it is like a suction cup, if it does not touch the Yang Qi of the person, it is useless, but as long as it comes into contact with the person, it will continuously absorb the Yang Qi from the person during the contact period and pass it back to the mother array." โ€

"In other words, if I eat fried chicken or drink milk tea with a box, I have been being sucked up of yang energy?"

"It is only effective when you encounter this pattern," Shen Liang pointed to the logo printed on both sides of the wall of the milk tea cup, the fried chicken box on the bottom and lid of the box, and the milk tea on both sides of the cup wall, which are basically the easiest places for people to touch when holding these two things.

"Wouldn't it?" Xu Mu thought about the long queue in this shop every day, and couldn't help but feel numb in his scalp, how much yang qi did it have to be? He squatted down and carefully looked through twenty or thirty fried chicken boxes and milk tea cups one after another, and sure enough, they all had exactly the same pattern.

"I try to find out the mother array, and I must destroy it as much as possible. Without the mother array, these sub-arrays are useless. Shen Liang said sternly with a small face, a righteous face that takes the task of eliminating demons and defending the Dao as his own responsibility.

He put down the package, lifted the hem of his shirt and sat cross-legged on the ground, reached out and took out a few copper coins from his baggage, and every minute or two, he put a copper coin on the ground.

After a while, Shen Liang's forehead was covered with beads of sweat.

"Is there any way you can help him?" Xu Mu looked at the two cat uncles lying next to him.

Fu Zhu flicked his tail, "If you pinch the box and contribute some yang energy, it will be much easier for him to track down." With your body, there will be no major damage within 20 minutes, at most you will feel a little tired. โ€

Xu Mu gave Fu Zhubi a thumbs up and immediately picked up a fried chicken box. He didn't have any obvious feelings, but Shen Liang's speed of releasing the copper coins had significantly accelerated.

When Shen Liang put down the last copper coin in his hand, a thumb-thick cyan light rose into the sky in the middle of the twelve copper coins, and it slashed towards the southwest of Yudai Lake Park like a meteor.

"It's over there. Shen Liang raised his legs and ran over there, and the black cat jumped up quickly, lowered his head and bit the package and followed behind Shen Liang.

Xu Mu hesitated for a few seconds before he followed, he felt that he couldn't help much, but it didn't feel like a problem to leave a โ–กโ–ก-year-old child like this.

As soon as the two of them ran into Yudaihu Park with the green light, the ground under their feet suddenly trembled twice, and the blue light swayed in the sky like a residual candle in the wind, and then stretched into several knots and disappeared.

"What's going on?" Xu Mu asked Shen Liang in surprise.

"The Mother Circle has been broken. Shen Liang was stunned and continued to run in the previous direction, "Someone found the mother formation before us. โ€

A deep pit had exploded on the lawn, and a silver-haired guy in a suit and leather shoes was squatting on the edge of the pit, pinching something with two fingers and looking through it with disdain.

"Narukawa?" Xu Mu knew who it was when he saw the iconic silver hair from afar.

"It's you again, don't sleep in the middle of the night, come out to catch ghosts?" Ming Chuan picked the corners of his eyes and looked at Xu Mu with a smile.

Xu Mu: ..................

It's really right.

"You broke the mother formation?" Shen Liang looked at the deep pit, and then at Ming Chuan, the person who broke the formation was obviously much more powerful than himself.

"It's not me, it's my boss, I was just called in the middle of the night to clean up the aftermath. Narukawa shrugged his shoulders, his face full of helplessness that "there is a wayward boss who is not easy to mix".

"What is this?"

"Array eye, it should be a piece of Yugui. Narukawa put the thing in his arms, clapped his hands cleanly and stood up, a cold light crossed his eyes, "In short, this matter will be investigated by our Human Realm Security Administration, and we will never let go of the scum who set up the formation behind it." โ€

"Of course, if you are interested, you can also help, and there is a bonus. Narukawa squinted at the two little Taoist priests in front of him.

"We don't need money, and it is also our Taoist responsibility to maintain the human world. โ€

"Bonus?" Xu Mu's eyes lit up suddenly, and he covered Shen Liang's mouth, "Wait, is it RMB?"

"You can use whatever currency you want. "Mingchuan looks like a wealthy tyrant in our bureau, the boss has lost so much work, he has to catch a few helpers!

Shen Liang: ..................

Xu Mu got home at nearly twelve o'clock, Feng Yuan was drying his hair in the bathroom, he tiptoed into the house, planning to go to the refrigerator to turn over some food first, this night was more tiring than running a marathon. Dinner had long been digested, and my stomach was rumbling with hunger.

As a result, the plate in the refrigerator for small ribs was actually empty!

Yes, someone must be working overtime to draw pictures and hungry. Xu Mu closed the refrigerator sadly.

Sleep on an empty stomach and dream hungry. When Xu Mu got up to work the next day, there were two big patches of cyan floating under his eyes.

Today's goods are a lot more than the previous two days, and Xu Mu's time for tally the goods is nearly a quarter of an hour longer than usual, and by the time he gets it ready, the other seniors have already set off. As soon as Xu Mu stepped on the small third wheel, the proprietress chased him out with a small cardboard box with red tape and shouted to him, "Xiao Xu, bring this package with you." โ€

"Good. Xu Mu took it and took a look, and the delivery address was No. 77, Qingping Lane. In the remarks column, a line of small print is typed, "Delivered on July 30, 2015." โ€

"This package arrived half a year ago, marked as delivered today. I was ready yesterday, but I was so busy with the tally just now that I almost forgot about it. The slightly chubby proprietress smiled heartily, "It's good that you left late today, otherwise you would be in trouble." โ€

Will it be delivered after half a year? Is this express delivery or slow delivery? Xu Mu looked at the cardboard box with two English-Chinese dictionaries stacked together, and silently put the package into the back of his car.
