Chapter 123: The Eight Good Men
"It's because you are a Xuan Xiu, we have discussed it with Lu Qianhu, you must go."
Han Wu pulled his nephew up mercilessly: "You, give me the strategy book to memorize immediately." Once inside, follow the guide book to find it. β
[Hey, that's the right way. I can only talk to you alone, but you're going to pick the golden branches, and you can't stay with them all the time. Even if you bring a walkie-talkie, you won't be able to give them instructions while hitting the level. So when you go to 'score', you have to have someone who knows what to do now. γ
"How long is it until the ceremony begins?" He asked Han Wu.
"It's early this Sunday morning, so it's going to start preparing on Saturday night. So I asked him to memorize the strategy book in three days. β
"Can you memorize a book in three days?"
Qi Yuan on the side nodded: "He can." The people of their Han family either don't come out of the monks, or if they do, they must be Xuan Xiu, except for Xuan Xiu. Alchemy fryer, thunder refining and bombing house, but very good at metaphysical cultivation. Specifically, it is Lian Da Nei's "Taisu Asking Xuanjing". In short, that scripture can be learned while you are dreaming. β
"It's not that simple!" Han Xingzhi rushed to answer before Shang Luo asked, "In my dreams, I still have to learn, and I can't miss all the time." It's just that the time in the dream is faster, and the study doesn't take up the rest time, so that I can use it all when I'm awake. β
"That's still very convenient! Can I learn? β
"Well, I don't recommend you learn. Because once you've learned this method, it's hard to learn in other ways. And not all of them can be learned β only half of them can be learned, and they will be scattered and messy, and they will have to spend time sorting out their notes when they wake up. However, it is very useful to study the Taoist scriptures, the Heart Sutra and the like, because you may not be able to understand this kind of esoteric texts when you are awake, but it is more convenient to understand them when you are asleep. β
"Is it easy to memorize the strategy book?"
"It's ok. I can only memorize half of it, but I just need to spend a little more time when I'm awake. No, I'm caught up in you! I haven't promised to go yet. β
"Then I might as well ask you that." Shang Luo sat down on the table, "Classmate Han, under what conditions would you be willing to go?" β
"You can't support a person like me who has no desires and no desiresβthere are enough turnips, enough money to spend, and all the food, clothing, shelter and transportation. I don't want anything but to make a career. Aside from the occasional comic book and board games, the only thing I still care about is formula racing. Look at my uncle, he is not very good at cultivating when he is old, and he has not memorized a Latin book for more than a month, what do you think I am doing! I'll tell you the truth! If you want to do something, you have to do it now. When you get older, you can't maintain your Dao body, and you will be half a beat slower than anything you do. β
"Ahh
I can't say yes to that. Whether the formula wins or not is not something he can decide, it depends on the competition. What's more, that's 3 months later, and going to break the branch is this week's thing, so I can't catch up at all.
"Eh???" Han Xingzhi suddenly remembered, "I really seem to have a wish that has not been fulfilled. If you can help me do it, I'll go with you. β
"What wish?"
"I want a set of 'Shaoping First Year Summer Limited "Invincible King Lingguan" Linkage Clay Man King Good King Evil Combination Hidden Version' produced by the Eight Great Good People, and I want the original unopened one."
"What's that?" Shang Luo didn't understand the name at all.
"I said, I want the Eight Good People"
Qi Yuan waved his hand to stop: "Don't go too far!" Now, where are you going to get a limited clay man from a few years ago? β
"Isn't this a matter of the imperial court? And it's going to kill me! Then I can't take the opportunity to ask for a small toy! Not too much! Doesn't the imperial court have everything? β
Han Wu on the side of "Eh" sat down, "If it's a small toy, it seems to be really okay." What toy? I remember when you were a kid and you seemed to ask me about it. β
He didn't look at Han Xingzhi directly, he felt that Qi Yuan was much more reliable than his nephew:
"What's that 'hidden money' he was talking about?"
"Uncle Han, this is the last joint work of the Eight Great Benevolence before announcing the closure of business, after that, the Eight Great Benevolence will only accept personalized orders, only one or two a month, and you can't buy it at all."
"I think I've heard of the 'Eight Good Men'. Is this a studio?"
"I don't know. It could be eight people, but it seemed like just one person. However, the clay figures he produces have always been stable, and it seems that there is only one person. β
"Is that Eight Great Good People very powerful?"
"To be honest, it's really amazing." Qi Yuan replied in the affirmative, "There are two things that are very powerful about the clay people he produces - first, he really understands, the shape and details are very powerful, and the original author says that he has surpassed the original." Second, none of his works are mass-produced products such as coated resin, but pre-colored. And not with paint, but with glaze! Each one has a beautiful glaze and is impeccable master craftsmanship. β
"Now, can't you buy it?" Han Wu asked.
"I can't buy it. One is that the eight good people are now in a state of semi-retirement, and the second is that this joint model is a limited edition of 500 pieces, each of which is numbered. And there are 5 hidden models in 500 pieces, namely No. 99, No. 199, No. 299, No. 399 and No. 499. Everything else is only a separate king of good and evil, a combination of hidden forms, and a base for landscaping. Where do you get this now? β
"Pity God! I really want this to say that. Yes!!! Why was I born so late, when the Eight Good Guys were active, I still thought that "Invincible King Lingguan" was a comic for children to read, and every episode was to transform into a bad guy, and there was nothing to see at all. After I entered the pit, the eight good people had already withdrawn from the circle! I simply didn't make it to the good times. What a pity! What a pity! β
"Don't make a fuss! Come with me! Han Wu stepped forward to pull Han Xingzhi out, but Shang Luo next to him suddenly pulled his sleeve.
"What, you ask for mercy? This is your golden branch. Instead of looking for a stranger, it's better to find this kid for a walk, if he doesn't go, I'll drag him over as well. β
"It's not. Wait a minute, I'll go out and make a call. β
Going out to the intersection, Shang Luo turned on his phone.
[Why, do you know who it is?] γ
"When I heard the names of the eight good people, I counted them. So that's what I gave away that day."
He called up Zhu Xianene's chat string. It's time to eat, and he should be free.
