Chapter 62: The Gift

Shang Luo sat back silently. He didn't dare to hold the spear anymore, but he didn't dare to let such an important thing out of his hands. I had to sit there with the spear of the sun god.

"What are you doing with a spear? Rented? Lu Liang's voice suddenly appeared at the door.

"Ahh Almost, I'm going to ask what to do. ”

"The spear? My dad didn't say, you wait for him to come back and ask. In addition, I had to practice before, so please include more if the hospitality is not good. What to drink? Soda or juice? ”

"Juice will do."

Lu Liang walked inside, opened the refrigerator and looked inside for a while, took a can of juice and threw it to Shang Luo.

She opened another bottle for herself, and stood in the doorway and drank it up.

"Ah, it's alive. Sure enough, it's best to drink ice cola after practice... Oh, Dad, you're back? ”

She pointed at Shang Luo: "The people have arrived, I have a good reception." ”

Shang Luo looked at the door again, and Lu Huaiyang suddenly walked in from outside the door silently.

These two people walked without a sound, which made Shang Luo always feel insecure.

"Huh?" Lu Huaiyang, who entered the door, was stunned for a moment, he saw Shang Luo holding such a big long pole, "What are you bringing the spear for?" Are you looking for Lu Liang to practice? ”

"No, no, no, I'm just asking, how to deal with this."

"What to do. It's your spoils, and of course it's gone. This seems to be a good magic weapon, and it has pure spiritual power in it. Of course, you can confiscate it, I don't mind. ”

"Forget it." Shang Luo put the spear aside. Although he didn't know what the spear was used for now, it was good to use it as a clothespole.

"But we do have to borrow it. The stone statue has already been transported to the Imperial Prison, and we have set up our formations in advance. In the edict prison, even if he is a land immortal, he will be suppressed. When I break the stone statue, I'll take out the fate inside for you. ”

"How's that Maya doing?"

"What Mayans?"

Lu Liang held the Coke and didn't finish it: "It's not Dad, what did you say you were going to interrogate, Maya?" ”

"You've heard me. I'm going to arrange a place for the Mayans in the Imperial Prison, after all, they can't just leave it at that, we want to see how he got on the line. Trying cases is something else. Hmm..."

He glanced at Shang Luo:

"Anyway, you're going to see Dao Ancestor tomorrow, and I may need your help in the future, so it's nothing to tell you - Shang Luo, do you know what Nanzhen Jinyiwei does?"

"Guarding the Prison?"

"There is indeed a task in this regard. But we're clearly not just jailers. In addition to guarding the prison, we also have a special mission: to capture superpowered criminals, mainly qi practitioners. But there were also people from Rome who came in, and we were also arrested and detained in prison. I went there in the morning because I received another crime notice letter, which has been an unsolved case for a long time. ”

"Ah, that's the one." Lu Liang knew this person.

"Which? Is it famous? Is it in the newspaper? ”

"We don't allow this news to be in the newspapers - this criminal, named Jago the Ripper. He always committed murders with the most brutal means, disemboweling his victims. The Romans had a habit of eating lying down and gluttony, and they continued to eat after they came to Yujing. And this criminal specifically picks such diners, and every scene is shocking. However, his modus operandi was extremely strange, and he could even appear all over the world in one day, and even once committed crimes in Cairo, Pontianak and Guangzhou in one day. This speed can only be achieved by taking a Lanfang rocket plane. But you also know that the rocket plane can only stop at 4 airfields. ”

"Is it possible that this is a gang crime? Surely you've looked into it, haven't you? How is it ruled out in the end? ”

"We used some Taoist means to compare with the Roman side, and we were sure that it was the same person. I don't know what kind of enmity he had with the Romans, and he killed everywhere. ”

"He's in Yujing now?"

"It may be in the morning, but who knows where it is now, it's not in Pontianak. Forget about him, one day you can catch it, your affairs are more important. ”

He looked at Lu Liang: "You... Actually, I shouldn't have let you listen to it, but everyone already knows about it, so I won't hide it from you. ”

After speaking, he solemnly said to Shang Luo: "Before noon tomorrow, Dao Ancestor will meet you. There is no definite time, and you may be summoned at any time before noon, and I will send you to the door. The people in the door are the emperor himself, except for you, and he will be there when he has time; So you from now on, don't take a step out of my sight. You will stay at my house at night. Tomorrow morning a car will come to pick you up, and I will take you to the door. ”

"Understood." Shang Luo nodded.

"Also, it's something related to your studies."

Lu Huaiyang opened the document bag he was carrying, took out a stack of papers from it and handed it to Shang Luo:

"After you finish eating, you fill out the form. I don't know much about students, so I won't fill in and let Lu Liang teach you. It's only three months until the end of your studies, so there's only one thing that matters most to you. It is the National Formula Racing Championship. ”

"Ahem... Ahem, ahem, ahem! Shang Luo choked on a mouthful of juice in his throat.

"You don't know?"

"It's not... Ahem, ahem... I just thought that this was going to happen to me one day. Lu Qianhu, don't you think this competition is a bit outrageous? Have a bunch of teenage middle school students build a formula car, and then find an unlucky guy to drive it... Is this really going to happen? ”

What makes Shang Luo feel outrageous is that this is not even a driving competition, but a car building competition. In the end, it is not only the skill and courage of the racers, but also the technical strength of the professional team. There are still talented drivers who can drive cars, but having a group of teenage kids form a "team of professionals" to build a car requires making sure that everyone on the team is a genius – and eventually someone else is going to drive it.

"They also have a chariot race in the training center, and that one is going to shoot at each other. But you have to understand that everyone is a professional who has been training for more than 10 years since the age of 6, and although the body is already a child, the mind is already an adult. Safety, responsibility, performance, and other issues should be taken on by professionals, and the future of the two capitals and thirteen provinces of the Ming Dynasty is on your shoulders. In the future, you're going to build bigger things. Courage and enterprise are to be cultivated at this time. So you have to win this game. ”

"But why should I cultivate these? Can I actually opt out? ”

"Hmm... Originally, this was indeed the case, and participation was voluntary. But Daozu had other arrangements. He stared at Shang Luo: "Although I am also surprised, if you can win the tournament, then Dao Ancestor will give you a... A prize that satisfies you and is impossible to refuse. It's extra for you, and it's just for you. What exactly to send, you will know when you see Daozu tomorrow. Work hard and win the prize. ”

"Have there been examples of this before?"

"It's strange because it doesn't. Many people claim to be the second disciples of the Dao Ancestor, but they have never been able to see the Dao Ancestor in their lives, even those celestials. And not only can you meet Daozu directly, but Daozu will also give you gifts. We have never heard of any gift from the ancestor to the Son of Heaven, and every generation of the Son of Heaven has died normally. You are the only exception, and I advise you to be careful. You seem to be the last to know about this, which is why I told you not to leave my sight. Lu Liang. ”

"I'm here." Lu Liang nodded.

"Be careful at night, too, and keep one eye open for me when you sleep. I've asked your mother to take refuge at your grandmother's house, and I'm sure I'll make sure he's safe until I see Daozu. This may be the second Dao machine since Dao Ancestor opened the palace temple, and we all have to be prepared. ”
