At half past three o'clock in the morning, on the way back to Qinglonghu villa by taking a Mercedes-Benz Uber from the capital airport, Helianjie looked at Beijing outside the car window, countless neon lights were shining, and the stars in the sky reflected each other, this farewell has been more than half a year, although it is not long, but at this moment Helianjie's mood has been very different from before.

In the past six months, too many things have happened, experiencing risks and twists and turns, life and death tests, Helianjie suddenly feels that he has become more mature and his mood is more peaceful.

He felt that he would no longer hide in the dark as before, and he was cautious for fear of being hunted down, and he did not dare to show his head rashly. At the moment, he prefers to live in the sun, have the courage to face everything that may happen, and have the confidence to solve any difficulties that come his way.

He couldn't tell what made such a change in his state of mind, because his ability had improved, or because his horizons had broadened, or because he had such a woman by his side?

Thinking of this, he turned his head and saw that Haruko was already asleep leaning on the back seat, sleeping soundly, she was still so beautiful in her sleep, the smile on her face was so moving, probably she was dreaming some kind of sweet dream.

The driver is an uncle in his forties, an old Beijinger, who speaks a Beijing-style dialect, and is very willing to talk to people more, but at this time, he saw that Helian Jie was silent, he couldn't hold back, and opened the conversation and asked him: "Dude, where did you come from?" Coming to Beijing? ”

Helianjie smiled and said, "No, I live in Beijing and work here." Actually, master, to tell you the truth, I also drive Uber when I have time. ”

"Oh? It's really fake! I also met a colleague! Ha ha! ”

"It's so late, and you're out to pick up passengers? Could it be that you are doing this full-time, master? Helian Jie was in a good mood, so he said a few more words to him.

"No, no, I also have a job during the day, and I have a stall in the antique market."

"Panjiayuan Antique Market?"

"yes, you go there a lot, too?"

"I don't go around often, I don't know much about antiques, I just want to go to Taotao recently, and I have time to go to your place to play and learn." Helian Jie suddenly remembered that he had obtained a few antique artifacts in the Zhenqing Cave, and he didn't know how to appreciate treasures, so he just took them to the antique market to try his luck and see if he could exchange some money.

"No problem, welcome at any time, come, this is my business card," he said, pulling out a business card from the business card box under the windshield and handing it to Helianjie.

Helian Jie took it with both hands and took a look, and then he knew that the master's name was Liao Xiang, and he opened an antique shop called Long Tengxuan in Panjiayuan.

"Brother Liao!" Helianjie shouted at the business card.

"Hey! Don't dare to be, you call me Lao Liao, haha, I like to make friends, and it's fun to come out and drive this uber at night, and I've been in the store for a day during the day, and I'm very aggrieved! Come out at night to pick up a few guests and chat for a while, and you will also have a long insight, right? ”

"Oh, I said, why do you still drive Mercedes out to take Uber orders at night. At first, I thought it was a full-time driver who stole the boss's car to take orders! Helianjie joked.

"Hahaha!" Liao Xiang laughed, amused by Helianjie, "Many guests say so, this car is indeed my own." ”

"Then you are not sleepy when you look at the store during the day and take orders at night? When will it be closed? ”

"Hey!" Liao Xiang sighed softly, "Little brother, I won't tell you, I had a bad problem a few years ago. Not sleepy. ”

"Not sleepy?"

"Yes, you just don't have to sleep, when you lie down at night, your head is still awake, do you think it's strange? In the first few nights, I tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, my wife was also strange, so she said that she would take me to the hospital, I said that I didn't feel anything wrong, what hospital to go to, she had to let me go, I couldn't but she went to the hospital to check, checked several hospitals, the doctors said that there was nothing wrong with my body, and then I didn't go to check, this has been more than ten years, I never sleep, and I am not sleepy. Strange, you say, isn't it strange? ”

When Helian Jie heard Liao Xiang say this, he thought: "This person's problem can't be his superpower, right?" Superpowers that don't need to sleep? If that's the case, it's a very interesting ability. ”

Although he thought so in his heart, Helian Jie still pretended to show a surprised expression on his face and said, "This is really strange! ”

"Yes! At first, I was worried for a while, but then I got used to it, but now I think it's good, and I can find someone to talk to when I drive a car at night, haha! ”

Helian Jie chatted with him a few more words, there was no traffic jam at night, the car drove fast, and he had already arrived at Qinglong Lake. He and Haruko got out of the car, said goodbye to the driver, and returned to the Qinglong Lake Villa.

After a period of time, the two lived in the Qinglong Lake villa, Qingzi was very fast, and the villa was cleaned up in two days, the interior was simple European style, and the courtyard was planted with oriental garden flowers and plants, Helianjie This villa is located very well, facing Qinglong Lake, at night, the two of them are on the balcony on the second floor, sip a glass of red wine or drink a cup of tea, are very comfortable.

The reason why he wanted to return to Beijing, Helian Jie had his own plans, and at this stage, through the Internet, he collected almost all the information about cultivators on the Internet. He found that in today's world, cultivators are no longer hidden in the mountains and remote areas as they were in ancient times, but most of them live in the metropolis like ordinary people.

This is also understandable. The information and resources of the metropolis are very concentrated, making it easy for practitioners to make use of them, and the current development of science and technology has provided many new methods and ideas for cultivators.

Although the classics of ancient times are the result of the continuous accumulation of ancient cultivators, they are really very primitive compared to the explosive development of modern times.

This reminded Helian Jie of the so-called Xiuzhen novels written by many people on the Internet, saying that the ancient cultivators were so powerful, and the more modern they were, the more the cultivation world declined, but in fact, for those who can cultivate, it is just the opposite, not the more declining, but the more prosperous.

The ancient classics can be cultivated, but now, after scientific and technological tests, it is found that most of them have no scientific basis, and the cultivation effect is really flattering. Therefore, it is very limited to be able to find useful materials for cultivation from ancient classics.

Helian Jie deeply understands this, and he found that the secret method of the True Clarity he mastered was mysterious and unrealistic in many places, but in comparison, this experience was already relatively good, after all, this Sun Zhenqing himself had indeed cultivated to the seventh or eighth level of cultivation. At least within the seventh level of the elementary level, this book is still very useful in many places.

In addition, Sun Zhenqing is relatively proficient in alchemy, the so-called alchemy, in fact, in modern times is pharmaceutical, saying that those mysterious and mysterious things are useless, for people like Helianjie with profound scientific literacy, never believe in those mysteries, so when he studied this book, he also treated it with a very critical eye. Because of this, his cultivation process has taken many detours, of course, this is a later story.
