Chapter 4 004 Great Dream Immortal Jue
"Spicy chicken?"
Tina looked at Hu Qing suspiciously, Hu Qing didn't explain, and said to Newt: "Mr. Scamander, I have found my things, I think, I am leaving." ”
"Well, call me Newt, thank you for your help, Mr. Hu."
"Your life is interesting, I'll come to you when I'm done with my business, Mr. Scamander, are you welcome?"
"I'm willing to share everything about magical beasts so that more people know about them, care for them, and protect them," Newt said. ”
"Goodbye."
"Wait a minute...... Tina said, pointing to Newt's sniff, "you let it go, messing around in the bank, it's a state of emergency, I'm going to take you away." ”
Newt nervously asked, "ARE YOU AN INVESTIGATOR AT MACUSA?" ”
"Uh-huh......" Tina replied vaguely, pulling out her official ID with a photo of her activities and a striking symbol of the American Eagle: MACUSA (Magical Congress of the United States).
"This matter has nothing to do with him, my sniff stole his things, everything was accidental......"
Hu Qing glanced at Newt meaningfully and said to Tina, "I'm a Chinese wizard, understand?" You don't have the right to take me, if you insist on doing so, please apply to the Chinese Magical Agency. ”
"Does China have a Ministry of Magic?" Tina asked Newt ignorantly, and Newt also looked confused, looking at Hu Qing blankly.
Hu Qing nodded thoughtfully at Newland, and strode out of the alley, Tina thought about it, and drew her wand to be stopped by Newtra.
……
Standing on the wide street, Hu Qing shivered coldly, and under the impatient guidance of passers-by, he went to the diamond business district, found a place to sell precious jewelry, bought some warm clothes, and left in a hurry to avoid the attention of the police.
He has no passport, no local American documents, he is simply a black household and a smuggler, racial discrimination was rife in the United States in the twenties, and once he is targeted by the police, he will be in trouble. So he didn't dare to stay in a hotel that was too high-end, and went to the Lower East Side based on his vague memories of the past, where it was mixed and not easy to attract attention.
Hu Qing walked the dark streets of the Lower East Side, past trolleys, dilapidated shops and dilapidated apartment buildings, eating delicious pizza while searching for a hotel to suit him, and finally settled on a hotel called "America".
The name is very domineering, in fact, it is a small hotel, clean and tidy, the interior decoration is retro, there is a wall clock hanging in the corridor, ticking and ringing, not only does not feel noisy, but it seems quiet.
The owner of the hotel was a white American woman, not delicate or ugly, with short ear-length hair and a thick coat, leading Hu Qing to the door of the room, and left after a few words.
Hu Qing found an interesting phenomenon, young women in this era are fond of short hair, what he doesn't know is that this happens to be a sign of the United States in the twenties of the twentieth century.
The twenties of the twentieth century have many wonderful names in the United States, some call it the "Jazz Age", some call it the "Golden Age", and others say it is the "Crazy Twenties".
During World War I, the United States exported arms, and after World War I, it made a lot of money by collecting loans from European countries, and people took loans from banks to start businesses.
The economic prosperity has promoted the progress of science and technology and culture in the United States, and American women have also begun to pursue emancipation, and many women have become "Flapper Gril".
What is Flapper Gril?
It's a girl with a short perm, a low-waisted straight tube skirt, a men's shirt, a long cigarette, and a neutral style, as Tina and Queenie are in the movie.
Although Hu Qing is a college graduate of Queenstown University, he does not know much about American history, and he knows that the Lower East Side is still a WeChat article that he accidentally flipped, and he has been to New York twice before, but he just passed by in a hurry.
Lying on the white bed, Hu Qing looked at the ceiling in a daze, and after a while, he let out a light sigh, holding the silver pendant given to him by his mother, and with a click, the silver pendant was divided into two, and a yellow peace charm was placed inside.
"Grandpa!"
"Daddy!"
"Mom!"
"Auntie!"
"Vivi ......"
Hu Qing closed the silver pendant, put the silver pendant on his face, closed his eyes, and after a while, his breathing became soothing and calm, and he had a strange dream in a daze:
He appeared in an empty space, boundless, unable to speak or control his body, but his mind was extraordinarily clear, walking forward like a puppet.
"That's ......"
A dusty ancient book is suspended one meter above the ground, with a length and width of more than two meters, like a book sculpture.
"Book of Dao!"
Hu Qingmu walked to the huge Taoist book and stretched out his hand to open the Taoist book, he was a little worried, how could he turn it so big?
The result surprised him, and when the Taoist book was opened, the first page was a general outline written in dense small characters: "Cultivation, ingesting energy to strengthen oneself, seeking rebirth of creation, and gaining earth-shaking power...... Therefore, the monk, first cultivate the spiritual power to strengthen the body, then cultivate the spirit, and finally cultivate the Tao, step by step, the road can be expected......"
Sprinkled with thousands of words, pointing directly to the core of cultivation, Hu Qing was fascinated, but he didn't want to quickly turn the page with his hands, and the mystical exercises were fleeting, stomping Hu Qing's feet angrily.
About a third of the way to the turn, his hands stopped, Hu Qing looked intently, and saw that the Taoist book said "Basic Chapter", and below it was "Practicing Body Guidance", and then there was the image of the nine-square grid, and the villain drawn by nine simple lines did all kinds of unbelievable and difficult movements.
The most incredible thing is that the villain can move, making coherent movements one by one, and Hu Qing subconsciously followed suit.
These movements are difficult, even if his body is not under his control, Hu Qing can feel the pain, one moment it seems like the ligament is broken, and the other time it seems like the bone is cracked......
When one action is done, the villain automatically stops, and the second villain starts to move until the ninth villain ...... Hu Qing was exhausted, fell to the ground and gasped, it was obviously a dream, but it felt extremely real.
Suddenly, the moving villain becomes sluggish, like an underpowered robot, and the image stands still, and the world in front of him quickly fades away.
Hu Qing opened his eyes suddenly, and the sunlight slanted into the window, falling on his wet body, as if he had just been fished out of the water.
Hu Qing sat on the floor, sweat-soaked clothes, sticky, very uncomfortable, his body was emptied, accompanied by an indescribable sense of ease.
"Just now...... It's not a dream, I really practiced the "physical guidance technique", damn, the Taoist book finally saw me, it's weird in the dream. Hu Qing looked happy, hurriedly changed his clothes, opened his posture and continued to practice the "practice of physical guidance".
"Ah...... Oh......" The cry of pain and comfort kept coming......
