Chapter 32: The Secret Array of Communication
Aochen resumed his slow boxing practice like just now, and it lasted for more than half an hour before it ended.
After practicing, Aochen gently flicked Liuli's cheek and shouted softly: "Liuli, wake up!"
"Is it over?Brother Chen, do you have to practice for so long every day?Aren't you bored?If I can't stand it!"
After Liuli woke up, she instinctively touched the corners of her mouth, as if to check whether she was drooling, and then turned her head and praised.
"So I'm a man and you're a woman!"
Aochen didn't feel that there was any hard work, how could there be no price if he wanted to become stronger? Sweat more today and bleed less tomorrow, many people understand this truth, but few people can do it with perseverance and hard training.
"Does this have anything to do with men and women?"
Liuli didn't understand at all, what does diligent martial arts have to do with men and women, so she asked Aochen.
"A man represents responsibility, like you are by my side, then I need to protect you, and I need to do something that must be done by birth, which requires strong martial arts!"
Aochen looked at Liuli and explained softly, I don't know if it's because I have cultivated the Guigu Heart Sutra or because I am born different, I don't like to play with ordinary children when I was a child, I feel like a waste of time, I like to study those I don't understand, I like to practice martial arts, I feel that I am getting stronger little by little, and I have a great sense of achievement, but I feel that such a beautiful thing, why do some people say that they are tired and tired?
"Oh, hurry up, do you know where the Spring and Autumn Pavilion in Hongcheng is?"
Liuli listened to Aochen's words, and always felt warm in her heart, although she had someone to protect herself since she was a child, she always felt that Aochen's protection was different from those who protected her since she was a child, where it was different, but it was not clear.
"Of course I do!"
Aochen didn't say much, shuttled through the lively street market with Liuli, and bought some small toys and special snacks on the way, all of which Liuli liked, and it didn't take long to walk to the end of a rather deserted street, standing in front of a huge house, saying that it was huge because it not only covers a huge area, but also is seven floors high, which is the tallest building in Hongcheng.
"Does this young master need anything?"
The first floor of the Spring and Autumn Pavilion is full of ordinary things, and as soon as he walked in, there was a shop Xiao Er to greet him, but Aochen did not respond, but waved his hand to Xiao Er, signaling him to retreat, and walked upstairs without a sound.
Walked to the third floor, Aochen showed a purple token, and was greeted to the side of the teahouse, the appearance of the third floor is completely different from the first floor, there are some calligraphy, paintings, antiques and other things, it doesn't look like a store at all, more like a teahouse, and the rest of the place is a warehouse, and the guests ask for something, and the shopkeeper will take it out of the warehouse.
"What do you need?"
After a while, a middle-aged shopkeeper dressed up, with a handful of goatee, looked extremely shrewd, came to Aochen's side, and said very respectfully.
"I'll write you a list, you can prepare it for me!"
Aochen didn't say much else, he got up directly to the desk not far away, and wrote quickly, he would have to contact his grandfather in a while, and he would make toys for Liuli, how could he waste time on politeness.
"Okay, I'll go and prepare, please wait for a while. ”
The shopkeeper took the list written by Aochen, took a look at it, said politely, and then turned around and walked towards the warehouse.
Seeing that there are so many things in Aochen's list, can you really make a star? She couldn't help but ask curiously: "Brother Chen, are you going to make a star for me?"
Aochen touched Liuli's head and said softly: "If you say it now, it won't be interesting if you see it later!"
"Then you have to hurry up, I don't like to wait the most!"
Liuli puffed out her mouth and looked unhappy, she was a child like that, easy to be happy and easy to get angry.
"Childe, everything you want is ready!"
The shopkeeper came out after a while, followed by two little two, holding various materials in their hands, crystals, wooden boards, iron sheets, and many unnamed things, feeling that except for crystals, the others are completely untouched by the stars.
"Okay, thank you shopkeeper, put it up for me, I'll take it away. ”
As he spoke, he handed the purple token to the shopkeeper again, and the shopkeeper took the token and looked at it repeatedly for a while, then turned around and walked to his counter, stamped it with the token, and wrote down the name on the token and returned it.
"Son, you go slowly. ”
Aochen took the box with the materials, put away the token and walked downstairs.
"Brother Chen, that token of yours, my father also has one!"
Liuli saw that he had bought the materials and walked a little faster, and he looked impatient, as if he remembered something.
"Oh, then your dad must be a great man!"
Aochen listened to Liuli's words, and praised him, the purple token is issued to some big customers of the Spring and Autumn Pavilion, and this token is used to settle accounts with the Spring and Autumn Pavilion General Pavilion once a year, of course, some extremely rare things are exceptions, and there are also reservations, discounts, clearance services and other more face-saving functions, and even a part of the Spring and Autumn Pavilion people can be mobilized.
"Don't talk about him, I don't want to mention him now!
Liuli inadvertently mentioned her father, but suddenly remembered something, and said with an angry look that she didn't want to mention.
"Okay, if you don't want to mention it, don't mention it! We'll go to eat for the day in a while, let the shopkeeper prepare some delicious food for you last time, I heard that his snacks there are also good, and we'll go back to make stars for you after eating!"
Aochen saw that Liuli didn't want to mention her father, so he obeyed, anyway, it shouldn't be a big deal to look at Liuli's appearance, otherwise his father wouldn't be so happy when he replied to him, and he didn't mention anything to let Liuli go back or ask where Liuli was or something.
............
"Yo, Childe, it's so early for you, do you need me to help you get this box?"
Food is the little two at the gate of heaven, and when he saw Aochen and Liuli, he couldn't wait to greet him, and the four of them ordered a large table of dishes, as well as medicinal food that others couldn't ask for, and it was right to order politely.
Aochen handed the wooden box in his hand to Xiao Er, and asked casually, "Where is your shopkeeper?"
"Usually at this time, our shopkeepers are inspecting the kitchen!
Xiao Er bent down slightly, and responded to Aochen's question very politely, and wanted another Xiao Er next to him to call someone while talking.
"No, I'll go to him myself, and you can arrange a quiet private room for me!"
Aochen shook his head and said, turned his head and motioned for Liuli to go up with Xiao Er first, and he walked towards the kitchen where food is the sky.
Before he got to the kitchen, Aochen saw the fat shopkeeper with a back almost twice as big as a person, busy interspersing back and forth in the kitchen, chatting with several chefs from time to time about the heat of medicinal food.
Aochen softly shouted, "Wind Shopkeeper!"
"Son, you're here like this, you can just make people scream if you have something, it's all fumes......"
The fat shopkeeper heard Aochen's voice, and hurriedly strode towards Aochen, with a very frightened look on his face.
"I have friends coming with me to bring some snacks and tea, and I want to use the communication array, is there a problem?"
Aochen smiled faintly, signaled that it was okay, and then said lightly, but the second half of the sentence was said in the method of condensing into a line, and only the fat shopkeeper could hear it.
"Okay, I'll have some good snacks sent over!"
The fat shopkeeper replied vaguely, turned around and went into the kitchen to personally select a few snacks, and asked a junior in the kitchen to send them over, and he took Aochen to his room in the backyard.
"Childe, the communication array is right below here, and the second night pearl on the right side of the stairs is the opening and closing of the basement door, and I'm here to help you guard it!"
Entering the fat shopkeeper's room, I saw the fat shopkeeper kick each in different positions on the threshold, and a basement door appeared in the empty space next to the bed.
"Hmm. ”
Aochen didn't say much, nodded and went down, and after taking two steps, he raised his hand to close the secret door in the basement.
The basement is not very big, surrounded by stone walls, even the secret door is inlaid with a thick iron door, it can really be called a copper wall and iron wall, and the basement only has a circle in the middle of the formation, composed of many thigh-thick stone pillars, the stone pillars are covered with strange lines, each stone pillar is different, and in the middle is a rather large jade bib.
This is Bai Xiaolou's biggest secret, as long as the transmission array is activated, the sound can be transmitted to the designated other communication arrays, relying on this communication array Bai Xiaolou can secretly control the flow of information in the world, this formation is not made by anyone except Huangfu Jin.
Aochen took out a piece of jade pendant from his arms and inlaid it into the middle of the jade, and saw that the communication array couldn't help but shine with white light, and then Aochen described the texture, color, characteristics of the bundle fairy rope in detail to the jade, and how to get it, hoping that grandpa could help it find a way to exercise the bundle fairy rope, after the message, Aochen started the formation again, and repeated it again, but this time it was sent to Bai Xiaosheng, hoping that he would help him find all the relevant information, and once he found useful news, he would immediately send it to the place where he would go to the divine weapon forging.
The jade pendant inserted by Aochen is an identity symbol, not only needed when sending messages, the messages received by the transmission array are confidential, only the corresponding jade pendant can read the message, after closing the formation, Aochen recalled for a while, and turned around and left the basement after making sure that there was no omission.
When the fat shopkeeper saw Aochen coming up, he asked very respectfully, "Childe, is there anything else?"
"No, let's go!"
Aochen shook his head and said, and strode away after speaking, for fear that Liuli would be in a hurry, and it would be difficult to explain when he asked.
