Chapter 554: Lies
Without the threat of monster-like earthworms, Zhang Can explored the way with his ability, and it only took a very small time to get out of this terrifying swamp basin, and in the second basin, he found a small mountain stream, and the four of them were all silent, each in the stream, cleaning their bodies, and Lao Huang finished washing, and picked a lot of wild fruits in the forest.
The three young people recalled the disgusting appearance of those earthworms, where did they still have the appetite to eat those wild fruits, but Lao Huang, regardless of it, picked up the wild fruits and munched them "fluttering".
The four of them waited for their clothes to dry a little, and then set off on the road again, but along the way, there was no longer the previous harmony, Lao Huang and Huang Yu, both of them looked full of concerns, although Linna was curious about Zhang Can, but at this time it was not easy to speak, and if she wanted to enliven the atmosphere, there was no good topic.
Even Topaz, who has always liked to fight with Zhang Can, also closed her mouth tightly at this time, but what she was thinking about was not anything about Zhang Can's abilities, but regretting herself, why she hadn't found out before that Zhang Can had such a unique ability, it was definitely a feeling of getting acquainted late.
This section of the road, the four of them walked extremely embarrassingly, which made Zhang Can feel another feeling of loneliness, between people, why there is so much suspicion, if you don't pay attention to it, in the eyes of others, you will become a monster, even if you have lived and died together, and have been through hardships together, Zhang Can can't help but think that after this time, perhaps, his relationship with Lao Huang may be broken.
This is indeed a heart-wrenching thought, Zhang Can's friends, there are not many, he and Lao Huang have been together for a long time, and they have gradually had some friendship, at this time, they suddenly have to cut off contact, and build a high wall of mutual beware in each other's hearts, no matter who they are, they will feel heartbroken.
In fact, in Lao Huang's heart, there are many contradictions, with his own responsibilities and the principles of treating science, Zhang Can's ability is definitely of great research value, but is this possible? Putting aside Zhang Can's identity, his ability is not exactly what he and all mankind are striving for, if it is said that he wants to benefit mankind and society, it is an excellent path to study Zhang Can's ability in front of him.
Lao Huang is confident that he really wants to rely on his own relationship and influence to make Zhang Can's secret public, and then in the name of the country, in the name of the Academy of Sciences, he put forward a request to Zhang Can, asking him to cooperate with his own research, although Lao Huang can't be 100% sure, but 80% of the certainty is also there, but in this way, he insists on going his own way, and touching Zhang Can, who doesn't want to touch, will not only deviate from his original intention, but also will fall himself into the huge whirlpool of high-level competition.
Lao Huang thought about it for a long time, and felt that if it went on like this, no matter who it was, it would not be a good thing, in the long run, Zhang Can's ability would always be seen through by the world one day, and at that time, maybe it would be Zhang Can's most dangerous day, if it really came to that day, it might be a dead end for Zhang Can to be pushed by himself, maybe a bad one, Zhang Can would go to the opposite side of the enemy of the people, no matter what, he would never want to see that kind of thing happen.
Therefore, Lao Huang opened his mouth to break the silence: "Xiao Zhang, we are also friends, about your 'Maoshan Taoism', I think, you had better be more restrained, I heard that you have also served in one of the national departments, I think, you also know some of these powerful, in your situation, it is best to stay away from where to go, just say me, for your magical 'Maoshan technique', are all willing to get it, not to mention those with ulterior motives, if those with bad intentions, once they know that you have such a ' I'm afraid that you will never have peace, and maybe it will even harm your family, and I, as a friend, I can't help but give you some advice. ”
Zhang Can was originally bored and was also thinking about it, but when he heard Lao Huang talk about it in vain, he couldn't help but let out a long breath, and felt a little grateful in his heart, Lao Huang obviously knew that he had revealed his ability, but he only faintly said that his ability was a long-standing legend and everyone knew the "Maoshan Technique", in a sense, this was Lao Huang telling himself a big lie. How could Zhang Can not know that with Lao Huang's principle of doing things and his attitude towards science, he treated himself with lies like this, thinking about it, Lao Huang had already made a decision against his own will.
Sure enough, Lao Huang continued: "Alas, I'm old, I don't have a good memory, and I haven't made any achievements, and I've been in that position for a long time. ”
You know, people like Lao Huang, people who can go to his position, in the Academy of Sciences, there is no other, Lao Huang said that he has no achievements, that is just his own modesty, with his achievements in the Academy of Sciences, people in today's world, from food to clothing to housing and transportation, all enjoy the benefits brought by Lao Huang, these benefits, and even benefit the next generations, in the field of scientific research, Lao Huang, who is in the prime of life, once he announces that he wants to withdraw from the scientific arena, it will be a major event that shocks the world, and it is also a big loss for the Academy of Sciences.
The reason is simply because he met a Zhang Can and discovered a shocking secret, because he didn't want to see Zhang Can as an item that could be tested, and he didn't want to publish Zhang Can's secret to the public, and decided to quit the scientific arena from now on, which can't but say that Lao Huang made a huge sacrifice.
"Xiao Zhang, I hope that we will still be friends in the future, can you promise me?"
Zhang Can knew that with Lao Huang's position, every word he said would be carefully recorded, and he would now announce that after he went back, he would quit the Academy of Sciences, and he was also trying to find a way to protect himself.
"Hehe, Huang Lao, I remember your teachings, and besides, we were originally friends, weren't we." Although Zhang Can smiled, there was some haze in his eyes, he had always just treated Lao Huang as an elder, in front of him, because he was not a person all the way, so he was disrespectful from time to time, but now it seems that Lao Huang is still a friend worthy of deep friendship, although he knows some of his secrets, but for the sake of the word "friend", he chose to shut up and even deceive himself with lies.
Zhang Can couldn't help but think that after this matter is over, should he no longer travel around like this all day long, but stay at home with peace of mind, do his own business, make his own money, no longer stir up some disputes between these high-level leaders, and come to protect himself, but Zhang Can himself feels that such an idea is a little ridiculous, isn't it already trapped now, why use lies to deceive himself.
Huang Yu saw that Lao Huang and Zhang Can were saying some inconsequential words, and Lao Huang looked lonely again, so he couldn't help but ask Zhang Can curiously: "Zhang Can, you know those thaumaturgy that drive birds and beasts, it's not a big deal!" Why my uncle, it seems that he is very unhappy, don't you do anything to my uncle, use some 'centering mantra' or other Taoist techniques."
Topaz didn't understand very much, what kind of Dao technique there was, it wasn't a big deal! Aren't there many people now who are trumpeting their special functions, such as stabbing the throat with a steel gun, breaking a bottle with qigong, etc., and even more, saying that they can be able to understand and see the future, but they don't want to look at it.
But what Topaz didn't understand was that those so-called special abilities and Zhang Can's abilities were very different, and they couldn't be the same concept at all.
Lao Huang said to Huang Yu: "Don't talk nonsense, Xiao Zhang won't use any means against me, nor will he use any 'centering spell' on me, and also, after you go out, don't take out the current matter and talk nonsense, don't cause any trouble to Xiao Zhang, you must remember this, go back and tell your grandfather, my business is over, I will go to see him in person,"
"Really?" Topaz cheered, originally his experience this time, it was talking about capital in front of his companions, but he also had a wish, that is, the two ancestors who had lost harmony could rebuild the old good, and compared with this wish, his own talk was far from this wish, and the wish and the talk topaz naturally wanted a wish.
Lao Huang said lightly: "When did I tell you a lie, I promised you, I will definitely pass, when the time comes, call your grandfather, prepare a little more good wine and food, I don't want to walk hungry like last time, but you must remember what I said now." ”
"Hehe, that's nature, when the time comes, I will personally urge my grandfather to cook and cook a table of good wine and good food, please go and taste it,"
Huang Yu and Lao Huang chatted, most of them also wanted to liven up the atmosphere, in this silent forest, although it was a group of four people, but all of them were full of worries, and they were extremely depressed along the way, so if they went on, they were afraid that they hadn't found that Yang Hao yet, and they would be driven crazy first.
Unconsciously, the four of them went out of the second basin and were about to go down to the third basin, Zhang Can suddenly had a sense of danger, the danger came from the third basin under his feet, although he didn't know what the danger would be, but since he knew, he could not be involved in danger, of course he didn't want to go into danger again, at least he was prepared, and he couldn't be caught off guard when the time came.
Zhang Can no longer concealed it from the other three people at this time, and told the three of them his premonitions, and the three of them no longer doubted Zhang Can's statement at this time, but now they have to take a detour, first, time is not allowed, and second, if this obvious road is not taken, it is tantamount to starting again and starting all over again, so the three of them decided to continue to walk firmly in the past no matter what danger there is.
Zhang Can thought about it, asked Lao Huang to take out the knife, found a few egg-sized miscellaneous trees around, made four javelins, and found some miscellaneous woods to make a bow and arrow, and made these weapons well, it took two hours, at this time Zhang Can adjusted the forward formation, let Linna take the lead as a vanguard, and he and Lao Huang still walked in the middle, Huang Yu broke off alone, so that he could support back and forth at any time when he was in danger, and the four of them were fully armed and marched towards the third basin, Prepare to cross the third basin in one fell swoop.
