When it comes to the magic circle, we can't help but say "the four arts of cultivation".

Dan, instrument, talisman, and array are the four lessons that cultivators should learn, but it takes time to learn these things, and some cultivators are obsessed with them, and become alchemists, refiners, talisman makers, and array refiners, but because of the time wasted, they failed to cultivate into Jindan and Yuanying, and finally turned into a handful of loess.

Because of this, Qin Di did not teach it to Yan Xue and Gu Rumei for the time being.

Yan Xue stood under a longan tree, looked at the buds on the tree, instigated her nose, took a few breaths, and said, "Sir, I think the aura of the small world seems to have dropped a little recently, what's going on?

Qin Di said: "Under the small world, there is a small spiritual vein, and the spiritual energy produced every year is limited. When we first came in, the aura inside was relatively rich, and at that time, because it had been accumulated for hundreds of years, no one had absorbed and refined it. Since we came here, the aura has been consumed little by little, so the aura has dropped little by little. ”

"So what's to do? Is there a way to stop it from falling?"

"Yes, there is, but it's not easy. ”

"What should I do?"

Qin Di paused slightly, looked at her beautiful face, and said, "When I cultivate to the late stage of foundation building, I can refine the traction array disk, and with the traction array disk, I can pull the spiritual veins from other places over." ”

Yan Xue's eyes widened and asked, "You mean, bring the spiritual veins under Nanhu, Putuo Mountain, Jiao Mountain, and Xiaogu Mountain?"

Qin Di shook the picture: "You can't do that, otherwise those places will be deserted." From here, hundreds of miles to the east, there is the sea, and I suspect that there are spiritual veins at the bottom of the sea. ”

"Are you talking about the East?

"The average depth of the East China Sea is less than 100 meters, which is already considered a shallow sea. You have a water spirit root, and I will pass on your water system exercises, so that you can swim as easily as a fish in the sea. In addition, if you want to find the spiritual vein, there is also a special 'dragon hunting technique', which must be learned. ”

"Ah, there is such an exercise? Please teach me, sir. ”

"Don't worry, I'll talk about it later. ”

The more important reason is that Qin Di's skill has fallen back to the second level of foundation building, and there is no way to refine the array disk, even if he finds the spiritual vein, he can't pull it.

They cultivated in the small world for half a month before leaving Wuyi Mountain and returning to the Demon Capital.

The so-called "island" of the magic capital is actually only four years. However, in these short four years, it has bloomed with brilliant economic and cultural vitality.

"The Complete Works of Zhou Shougeng", which was difficult to publish by the Qingbai Party before the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, was published here at this time. It is difficult to imagine that "The Journey to the West", which can be seen by readers in the national control area, is also published here. Liu Yazi of the Nanshe, Zheng Zhenduo, Wang Tongzhao, Geng Jizhi, and Xia Chengzun of the Literary Research Society, and A Ying, Wang Renshu, Mei Yi, and Yu Ling, the backbone of the Chinese Left-wing Writers' Union, continued to engage in literary creation and participated in various patriotic activities. For a while, Barking also wrote on the island. Ba Jin's "Spring" and "Autumn" created during the "Lonely Island" period, together with his previous work "Home", have been combined into the "Torrent Trilogy". "Spring" and "Autumn" have also become one of the proudest achievements of the entire "Lonely Island" period.

Modu Films is also booming, with 20 film companies established and 200 films produced in less than 4 years. Records, costume films, literary films, patriotic films, the list goes on. "Mulan in the Army" written by Ouyang Yuqian and directed by Bu Wancang called on the people to rise up to resist the war, Yu Ling's "Flower Splash Tears", Ke Ling's "Scenery in Troubled Times", etc., all of which exposed the reality while reflecting the voice of the times to resist Japan and save the country.

After a brief downturn, with the influx of capital, people and logistics, coupled with the relative stability of social order and the smooth flow of internal and external transportation, the financial industry, real estate industry, light industry, entertainment industry and so on developed rapidly, and there was an unexpected abnormal prosperity scene.

Not satisfied with this status quo, the Japanese authorities tried every means to infiltrate the concession and planned to hold demonstrations in the public concession and the French concession in the magic capital to demonstrate their force to all walks of life in the magic capital.

In order to infiltrate into the concession area, they instigated a group of "gentlemen and businessmen with fame" to set up the "Devil's Capital Citizens' Association" in the Zhengjin Bank building on the Bund under the guise of "relieving refugees and resuming production." The members of the association are all well-known businessmen and entrepreneurs stranded in Shanghai.

In addition, they also sent spies to carry out assassinations, and even infiltrated the concession to arrest people.

In this case, everyone who is a well-known entrepreneur in the magic capital is in danger of themselves! If they do not agree to the demands of the Japanese, they may be shot dead by the spies; if they do what the Japanese demand, they may be shot to death by the traitor team of the military commander of the magic capital!

In order to deal with the gangsters of the military commanders, the Japanese army organized the "Zodiac Society", a hooligan spy organization, to secretly compete with the military commander's hidden agents. They also set up a "Xingya Club" in the Hongkou New Asia Hotel to recruit local ruffians and hooligans to disrupt the order of the concession.

For a period of time, there was bloody rain and assassinations in the concession.

When Qin Di and Yan Xue returned to the Demon Capital, they saw their two nephews, Qin Yuankong and Qin Yuanlong, jumping up and down anxiously in the courtyard.

Qin Di scolded loudly: "What's the matter?

The brothers "pounced" and knelt on the ground, hugged his thighs and wailed: "Uncle, please save my grandfather, he was captured by the Japanese!"

Qin Di couldn't help frowning: "Don't worry, speak slowly!"

Qin Yuankong said: "The evening before yesterday, as soon as it was dark, a group of people in black broke in, grabbed my grandfather, and slapped my grandmother twice, but walked away. ”

Qin Yuanlong said: "We were not at home at the time. When I came back and listened to my family, those people spoke Japanese, forced my grandfather to join the 'Citizens' Association', asked him to donate 200,000 stone of military rations, and wanted him to be the president!"

Qin Di said: "It's been two days, and you haven't put it back yet?"

"Nope. They will not be released unless they agree to their demands. ”

"Do you know where he's being held?"

"I asked Mr. Du about it, and my grandfather was locked up in an abandoned warehouse on the north bank of Suzhou Creek. At the same time, more than 20 people from the industrial and commercial circles were also detained. ”

Qin Di fell into deep thought.

If the uncle is alone, he can sneak in and sneak out behind his back. But in addition to the uncle, there are more than 20 people. Should those people be saved, and how?

If he shows amazing kung fu, it will inevitably make the Japanese suspicious and link him up with the amazing thief.

If he didn't show his skills, but transferred people from the military commander and Du Yuesheng, the two sides exchanged fire, and the action was very big, and the people who couldn't be saved were not rescued, but lost a lot of manpower. After all, the Japanese had heavy troops in the north of Suzhou and Hebei, and the personnel of the military command were relatively insufficient.
