************

At one o'clock in the morning, Zhu Daolin, who had a sore back and legs, still chose to go back to Qixia's Heshan Villa to rest, and after entering the door, he saw that Chu Mei had not fallen asleep, and the guilt in his heart couldn't help but increase a little, but fortunately, Chu Mei happily went back to his room to sleep when he saw him come back, and Zhu Daolin, who still had a few wisps of lingering fragrance on his body, breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhu Daolin lay down on the bed after changing clothes, and couldn't help but think of the madness and indulgence before leaving Zhongshan Villa, he really couldn't figure out where the amazing flexibility and extraordinary recovery ability contained in Song Shaojun's body came from?

If it weren't for Song Damei's frank confession that she had never practiced anything other than dancing since she was a child, Zhu Daolin would probably really think that she was a low-key cultivator like herself, and she didn't realize that it was his daily cultivation and the mysterious power of the vajra circle on his left wrist that made Song Shaojun's physique and spiritual power sublimated unconsciously.

If he can't figure it out, he just put it down and think about it again, it has always been Zhu Daolin's good thinking habits, and it inadvertently coincided with the basic law of cultivators conforming to nature, in order to recover his physical strength as soon as possible, he began to practice the breathing technique again, sitting cross-legged on the carpet in the center of the bedroom and chanting words, and soon entered the void realm of forgetting things and me.

When the first rays of morning light rose in the distant sky, Zhu Daolin finished the training of the Breathing Technique, only to feel that his eyes were clear, his qi and blood were bulging, and his whole body was full of strength.

Zhu Daolin had never had such an obvious breath sense, and after being slightly surprised, he simply changed into sportswear, went to the lawn in front of the villa to simply move the joints and muscles of his body, and played the military physical boxing that he had to practice every day in the brigade directly under the army for two years, and practiced this set of fatal and painful boxing techniques back and forth five times in a row, which gradually changed from fast to slow, and very naturally turned into the thirteen styles of Tai Chi taught by the second master Bo Xuanji.

Zhu Daolin, like an old man in a park, performed the seemingly simple but actually contains endless mysteries of the Thirteen Tai Chi Styles five times in a row, put away the posture and Qi Dantian with satisfaction, and nodded to the two patrol security guards who were staring at the pocket not far away and returned to the villa.

At eight o'clock in the morning, Zhu Daolin and Chu Mei, who had breakfast, drove off on time, talking and laughing all the way and taking turns driving, as comfortable as a vacation, and arrived at the western suburb town of Longquan, where Chu Mei's hometown is located, at four o'clock in the afternoon.

The white Audi had not yet driven to the door of Chu Mei's house, Zhu Daolin's mobile phone rang, Chu Mei, who was driving, obediently slowed down, waved his hand to the relatives waiting at the door of the house through the windshield, Zhu Daolin picked up the phone and asked his mother what good news was there?

Zhu's mother, who was far away in Jinling City, excitedly told her son: "The full set of classics has successfully passed the joint appraisal of more than ten experts and scholars and the four patriarchs of the Shangqing faction, although there are two museum researchers who still have doubts about the newness of the paper of the classics, but the content recorded on the complete set of classics is completely true, and all of them are incomparably precious secret treasures of the Shangqing sect of Taoism!" ”

"The host of Yuanfu Palace received the appraisal results in less than five minutes, and immediately called me and asked me to take time to bring you to Yuanfu Palace, he will personally preside over the grand ceremony of worshiping the heavens and ancestors, and thank you for your deep friendship."

Zhu Daolin was very happy: "That's good, I finally let go of a big matter, but my mother remembers to remember the six large gilded bronze statues, and you must not let your son lose his trust!" ”

Mother Zhu smiled: "Don't worry about your son, the gilded bronze statue will be able to be done for you within a month, if you want to be in a hurry, I will go to ask the abbot Zhenren and your uncle to pick out a few of the best ones from the two batches of bronze statues cast a few years ago and let them to you, anyway, as long as we open the mouth of the Yuanfu Palace, the two designated craft foundries will immediately make another batch." ”

"There are ready-made ones? Why did Yuanfu Palace build so many gilded bronze statues? Zhu Daolin asked puzzled.

Zhu's mother proudly explained to her son: "In recent years, the country's economic situation has been getting better year by year, the people's living standards have improved significantly, the tourism industry has become increasingly prosperous, and there are more and more Taoist believers. ”

"In such a favorable situation, many Taoist palaces in several surrounding provinces have decided to repair and expand, and local governments are also very supportive, otherwise how to develop local tourism? How to attract believers? ”

"The vast majority of Taoist temples around the country have entrusted us with the supervision of Maoshan Yuanfu Palace, and only through the professional supervision of our Maoshan ancestral court is the most secure and authoritative."

Zhu Daolin immediately understood when he heard this: "It seems that the Yuan Fu Palace has had a good life in the past few years!" ”

Zhu's mother smiled on the other end of the phone, and told her son after laughing that the TV station sent two groups of people to record the whole process of this joint appraisal, and the venue of the appraisal meeting that had just ended was still boiling, and everyone was very excited, and the relevant leaders and the leaders in charge of the propaganda department had made a decision to immediately report the discovery of this significant Taoist historical document to the national competent department, and broadcast it on the local TV news on the evening of the eighth day of the Lunar New Year.

Zhu Daolin has no interest in this, he is concerned about the place where the full set of classics has been identified, and I heard my mother say that the provincial cultural relics department and the archives department are taking photocopies, and after completion, they will all be handed over to the four elders sent by the Yuanfu Palace, and they will be permanently stored in the Shangqing Sect's ancestral Yuanfu Palace Zang Courtyard, Zhu Daolin finally put away his mobile phone with confidence.

Chu Mei's family was very welcoming.

After meeting, the old people complained that Chu Mei and Zhu Daolin bought so many expensive gifts, and at the same time instructed the juniors to carry up to half a cart of various gifts into the house.

The old uncle, who received Chu Mei's phone call in advance, had been waiting for a long time, and ran away with a group of children watching the excitement with a spring breeze, pulling Zhu Daolin, who had drunk with him last year, to the wine table directly, and touched Zhu Daolin three glasses in a row before the food was finished.

The banquet is not only rich in dishes, but also very local characteristics, a few hundred yuan a pound of mountain treasures in the city have served five large bowls, Chu Mei's parents, brother, sister-in-law took turns to Zhu Daolin's bowl to pick up vegetables, relatives and friends and neighbors on the side also frequently toasted Zhu Daolin, everyone treated Zhu Daolin as Chu Mei's man, and asked Zhu Daolin and Chu Mei from time to time when to do a happy event?

Seeing Zhu Daolin's helpless appearance with a flushed face, all the relatives and friends in the hall burst into laughter.

Chu Mei blushed and explained in vain several times, but no one listened to her, and finally had to bury her head in anxiety to eat, but she was happy in her heart to hope that there would be such a day.

Zhu Daolin does have the ability, he didn't go to the toilet once during the three-hour banquet, and he drank six relatives and friends down in the middle of the banquet, and he didn't have anything to do, which frightened Chu Mei's old father, old uncle and bold brother one after another, worried that the uncle who had a bottomless amount of wine would suddenly have a big counterattack.

Fortunately, Zhu Daolin has always had a gentle attitude and is very polite to everyone, almost to the point that he drinks without refusing to toast, until the remnants of the table are torn off, and he does not show the slightest sign of displeasure.

In fact, Zhu Daolin had already wanted to fight back, if it weren't for the fact that he still needed to get the consent of Chu Mei's uncle at night, buy his family's ancestral koji recipe and wine-making process as soon as possible, and go to Master Zhang's house in Longquan Sword Factory at noon tomorrow to get together for a drink, Zhu Daolin had to drink Chu Mei's old father too.
