In the face of this kind of mentally problematic guy, you just need to follow his tone and flicker. The two talked from ancient Chinese mythology to religious legends, and they chatted enthusiastically.

After Zhou Hexuan finished talking about Pangu opening the world, he began to talk about the creation of human beings by female snails: "In China, there is a goddess called female snails. She created a chicken on the first day of the first lunar month, a dog on the second day of the first month, a pig on the third day of the first month, and a sheep on the fourth day of the first lunar month...... On the seventh day of the first lunar month, the female snail used loess and water to create clay figurines in her own image. ”

"Is the Creator of China also seven days? What a coincidence," said Montague Norman, "in the Old Testament, God was also a seven-day creation. The first day of light is made, and day and night are distinct; The next day the day is made, and the morning and dusk are determined; On the third day, the earth was made to separate the land from the water. The fourth day made the sun, moon and stars...... However, God created man on the sixth day, and the seventh day was a day of rest. ”

Zhou Hexuan smiled: "Yes, there are many similarities between Eastern and Western myths, such as the Great Flood. In the West, God's wrath sent out a devastating flood, and Noah's Ark preserved the continuation of life. In Chinese mythology, the two gods of Gonggong and Zhuan fought for the position of Emperor of Heaven, and Gonggong was defeated and angrily crashed into Buzhou Mountain, causing a great flood of annihilation. In China, it was not Noah who saved the water, but a human named Dayu, the founding monarch of China's first dynasty. ”

Montague Norman suddenly laughed and said, "I think the Bible is closer to the truth, God is omnipresent, but it has been misinterpreted in the East." ”

"Perhaps." Zhou Hexuan didn't want to refute, why was it more serious with a neuropath?

Montague Norman then asked, "Is there any mystical practice in the East?" ”

Zhou Hexuan nodded and said, "Yes, Taoism and Buddhism have their own cultivation methods, and I happen to know one of them." ”

"So you too, sure enough, you're all cultivators," Montague Norman said with a smile, "We can discuss it with each other." ”

Zhou Hexuan's so-called cultivation method is actually the Taoist Tunamu technique taught to him by Li Lifetime when he had just crossed over. I heard Li Life's life say that it was very effective, but after Zhou Hexuan learned it, he fished for three days and dried nets for two days, and he didn't practice seriously at all.

Montague Norman once suffered from severe manic depression and even had a nervous breakdown, and his attending physician taught him to self-medicate with Western meditation methods. Contrary to evil, Montague Norman actually succeeded, and since then he has opened the door to a new world, fallen into extreme religious fanaticism, and by the way, began to study different witchcraft around the world.

Just do it, the two witchcrafts from the East and the West began their academic exchanges.

The first was Zhou Hexuan, who taught Li Life's Taoist Tunai technique to Norman. Immediately afterwards, Montagu Norman seriously taught Zhou Hexuan to practice Western meditation.

Montague Norman also set up a special meditation room and excitedly dragged Zhou Hexuan to practice.

After a week, Montague Norman said happily: "Zhou, your set of oriental cultivation methods is very effective, and I feel that the whole person is much more energetic. ”

"That's great!" Zhou Hexuan had a happy expression, but he was complaining in his heart: Since you have a nervous disorder, you have always been very energetic.

After lunch, Montague Norman took Zhou Hexuan to visit his collection.

Don't look at this old guy's house, but the basement is very large, and there are several in the collection room alone.

One is a Christian and Jewish collection room, which contains collections related to God; One is the Egyptian collection room, and needless to say, the gadgets in it were all taken from the pyramids; One is the Gypsy Collector's Room, which houses Gypsy spell-casting items; One is an Indian collection, all looted from India; One is the American Collection, which displays many prehistoric artifacts from the Americas.

Zhou Hexuan had to sigh, it's really good to be rich, no matter how bizarre his hobbies are, he can be tossed casually by his temperament.

Let's talk about the Egyptian collection room, there are several pharaonic masks. Norman not only brought the mummy, but also brought the coffin containing the mummy, and it was not too bad to keep it at home.

Montague Norman pointed to a vacant basement and said, "When I retire, I will go to China for a few years, and this is the Far Eastern collection room that I have reserved." ”

Zhou Hexuan patted his ass and said: "Amazing collection, Mr. Norman, your attainments in the occult are breathtaking!" ”

Montague Norman regretted: "I used to practice wall piercing, but unfortunately something went wrong and I never succeeded. Does China have wall piercing? ”

"Of course, the Maoshan sect of Zhengyi in China specializes in this kind of witchcraft." Zhou Hexuan said.

Montague Norman spelled broken Chinese: "Really hide and seek, I remember, I will learn later." ”

Zhou Hexuan smiled and said, "Yes, Maoshan faction, I'll write it down on paper for you in Chinese." ”

"That's great, it's so difficult to speak Chinese." Montague Norman Dao.

When Zhou Hexuan wrote down the Chinese of the Zhengyi Maoshan School, Montagu Norman said, "Thank you very much, Zhou." In return, I can give you a gift, please come with me! ”

Montague Norman took Zhou Hexuan to the second floor, which was a serious antique collection room, unlike the basement. After entering the house, Montagu pointed to one place and said, "There are all Chinese antiques over there, you can pick any one." ”

Zhou Hexuan was quite disgusted in his heart, because these antiques were all stolen from China, and from the late Qing Dynasty to the present, I don't know how many Chinese cultures have been lost overseas.

But if he is not happy, Zhou Hexuan still obediently walked over to choose antiques.

A long golden knife quickly attracted Zhou Hexuan's attention, and he asked, "Mr. Norman, can I take a look at this knife?" ”

"Feel free." Montague Norman said.

The scabbard is wooden, covered with a layer of gold peach skin, and has gold and copper hoops on both the sheath tail and the sheath. Just looking at the scabbard, it was glittering with golden light, and the atmosphere was pressing, and a nouveau riche breath came to his face.

The handle of the knife is made of Hetian jade, Zhou Hexuan held the jade handle, and pulled the knife out of the sheath with a "bang". The whole is in the shape of "S", only to see the steel knife near the handle, with the wrong gold, silver, red copper alternately composed of patterns, the knife body is engraved with the auspicious dragon soaring.

If you look closely, the blade of the knife is engraved with the words "Tianzi No. 17" and "Proton" on one side, and "Qianlong Year" on the other side.

Only this glittering scabbard, as well as the Hetian jade handle that is afraid that others will not know that he is rich, the full nouveau riche style, and the unartistic shape...... There is only one in the sky and on the earth, there is no other semicolon, it is undoubtedly Qianlong's imperial item.

Tut-tut, Qianlong's "Proton" imperial knife!

This is the only Qianlong imperial sword that has fallen among the people, and the auction price after a few decades seems to be 48.3 million, ranking first in the world's sword auction price list.

Zhou Hexuan happily returned the knife into the sheath and said, "Mr. Norman, I like this knife." ”

Montague Norman smiled, "Then it will be yours from now on." ”

The two returned to the reception room and chatted for a while, and Zhou Hexuan finally found an opportunity to get to the point: "Mr. Norman, China's silver crisis is related to Britain's Far East interests, and Britain must help. ”

"Oh? You can try to convince me. Montague Norman became serious, even sitting in a much more upright position, and in an instant he changed from a wizard to a shrewd banker.

The real king of finance is not so easy to fool - even if this guy is a psychopath.
