MTL - Night Hacker-Chapter 282 Friends come from far away
Chapter 282 A friend came from afar
After Lorna got Yan Zhan, she wanted Gu He to activate it into a strange object immediately.
However, Gu He's holy water energy is only 30%, Yan Zhan is a treasure with silver capital, and such a meaningful village sword, of course, is not chaotic, and it is more secure to activate when there is 100% holy water. .
In addition, there is a trousers treasure, and his trousers treasure is still lined up.
However, Big Cup has not gotten any new recipes recently, and the effect of Cup Cup soup has also decreased.
Two days later, when they set off to go shopping on Dongtu Street, Gu He's holy water only rose to 40%.
On the street outside the Itada apartment, a black heavy-duty off-road vehicle was parked on the side of the road.
"Why is it so slow?" At this time, Lorna, who was sitting in the driver's seat, asked, "I asked you to drink more soda."
"There is no difference between drinking more soda and more hot water. There is a threshold problem."
Gu He has a set of blue winter sportswear with the words "Dongtu" printed in white. He is going to Dongtu Street. This look is really the most suitable.
He held the mug with the voice function turned off, and sat in the co-pilot of Daniel, with Pandora sitting in the back seat.
Pandora is wearing a metal hollow mask and a one-piece striped suit, but he still doesn't speak much.
As soon as he got into the car, the SUV made a menacing bang bang, and it has been hostile to him since that day.
"Lorna, you have to take care of this car..." Gu He muttered, and quickly fastened his seat belt, for fear that the car door would suddenly open automatically and the body would swing automatically, and he would be thrown out. , it's over.
"What are you afraid of, it only hits the bastard." Lorna patted the steering wheel and looked at him, "You're not, are you?"
"I feel that in the eyes of big bulls, there is no one who is not a bastard."
Gu He saw that Lorna's exoskeleton prosthesis device was placed next to the driver's seat, and the samurai sword with a purple handle and a black scabbard could be obtained at any time and put into battle at any time... I'd better say a few words.
"Humans, **** without traffic rules." Daniel roared.
"It's you who suffers from road rage." Lorna turned the steering wheel angrily and started driving in the east direction.
It is not far from Kabukicho to Dongtu Street, just across a garden area.
But after coming to Liuguang City, it was the first time for Gu He to set foot in the area dominated by Dongtu people. He couldn't help but look forward to it and was also a little nervous. After all, Lao Fan seemed to be full of enemies over there.
In the past two days, he has been verifying the authenticity of this matter and wanted to obtain more information.
He asked Lao Fan again, but when he asked now, Lao Fan became very angry, go ask Lao Cai, and Lao Cai said, "It's all over."
"Lorna, have you inquired about Lao Fan?" Gu He looked at the bustling morning street outside the car window, "Don't let us go into Dongtu Street, and the Qingyun Gang will look for bad luck."
"That's not impossible." Lorna said while driving, "Old Fan probably had a prestige life before, I heard that the Qingyun Gang's Guandi Temple **** murder really happened, and it was quite a big deal back then.
"But there are a lot of secrets involved, how much Lao Fan and Lao Cai are involved, I haven't figured out yet."
Gu He was a little horrified when he heard this, Mom, **** slaughtering a hundred people? It's not like Lao Fan, it's really not like that.
The two talked about this and that, Pandora occasionally chatted, and Daniel gradually drove out of Shouhui Street and entered the Garden District from the expressway.
Those bustling and tidy streets appear far away.
Winter also means that the year is coming to an end and the New Year is coming. In any culture and city, the New Year will be accompanied by grand festivals.
Different from street dogs who drink at most two drinks before going to sing karaoke on the precarious night, there will be lively celebrations in the garden area, and every household and shop will start to decorate their houses with lights, creating a festive atmosphere.
Gu He saw some Christmas trees of Kadomatsu and Tenjin culture. People in this area will live a warm winter.
Pandora was also looking out at this time. Most of her childhood memories were in the garden area, the former "home".
"It's almost New Year's Eve." Gu He said, there is only one calendar in Liuguang City.
"It's the New Year's Day... it's another day." Lorna said in a nonchalant tone.
After passing through the garden area, the off-road vehicle drove in the northeast direction, crossed the old "Shenlong Bridge" in front of a large river, and officially entered the area of Dongtu Street.
Gu He looked ahead through the windshield, and the streets and buildings with the flavor of the East gradually came into view.
The streets are not as narrow as the Walled District, but they are not as wide as the Garden District. People come and go on the streets, which seem to be more lively than Kabukicho, with some low-rise buildings on both sides mixed with high-rise buildings.
Some of the buildings are of the Eastern classical architectural style, with raised corners, ridges and corners on the roof, and most of them have a streamer tone.
There is no gang in the streets here that has the final say. At first glance, the pedestrians on the road are not dressed in fancy clothes like Kabukicho, but they are also various, and there are more figures of Taoists and monks.
The noisy human voices with some Dongtu dialect accents mixed into the sound waves, coming in from the open car window, humming.
Over there, there was a Taoist priest running a fortune-telling stall, stroking a long white beard, and fluttering banners and flags that read "Iron-panel fortune-telling".
Lao Caiyou reminded them that there are good people and bad people on Dongtu Street, there are countless liars in the green forest, and eight out of ten feng shui gossip guys are magic sticks.
They don't mess around with fortune-telling, they have to beware of being "zapped" and "become a treasure".
"A group of people, a sect can be around and you can cheat." Lao Cai said at that time, "Be careful with that Wen Heguan, don't find a relationship, and give others millions in a confused way, then Might as well send it to me."
A group of monks in yellow robes sat on the side of the street, folded their hands together, and muttered some scriptures.
is not far away, there is another group of people performing juggling.
It was probably some side-door professionals. The boulder on his chest was really someone pressing a boulder, and it was smashed by a casing warrior with a giant hammer, which attracted excited applause from the onlookers.
"There's a lot of fun on Dongtu Street," Lorna said, but she didn't come here much.
There are a lot of entertainment venues here, casinos, boxing gyms, strip clubs, also known as brothels, all of them.
Gu He also saw the neon signs of some medical halls, including a skyscraper, "Dragon Medical", which is a top medical center in the entire Liuguang City, of course not serving the streets.
Dongtu people are good at neurosurgery. With such a good reputation and rumors of a strange food maker, that building does not account for much credit, mainly relying on the small medical halls, underground clinics everywhere on the street, and even the cheap street-side drop-offs. Hit the master.
Culinary division, doctor division, whether it is precision surgery, or mixed with herbs, ancient recipes, golden elixir, etc., are very popular here.
Lao Cai said that most of them are liars, but there are also people who are really capable, such as Lao Cai.
"Dongtu Street has probably the most restaurants in the city." Lorna added, "Guaranteed to be delicious."
"Let's go and find out today." Gu He was already drooling, "Maybe there will be a surge of energy."
The off-road vehicle drove all the way from the lively streets. There are indeed more restaurants in the shops on both sides than in other areas. Dongtu cuisine is famous. Every day, a large number of customers come in from the outer areas and even the wilderness just to grab a meal.
Those restaurants have neon signs that glow during the day:
"Authentic Soup Dumplings", "Uncle Yang Fried Rice", "Three Bowls Can Pass the Post", "Spicier Taste", "Store Celebration Promotion"
Gu He has been eating Kabukicho dishes for several months, and Lao Fan usually doesn't make much of Dongtu dishes. Now he looked at these signs and saw the customers coming from these shops, and he could vaguely see traces of the food inside through the transparent glass. really hungry.
"Let's go to Wenhe Pavilion first to see what's going on." Lorna teased, "Let's see if it's Po."
The so-called "being a treasure" is a group of people who join forces to set up a scam to defraud people of money, and deceive the other party so that they dare not speak up. If they are found out, they will cause trouble or lose face, and they can only suffer the loss of silence.
"Uh, it shouldn't be..." Gu He said, "It's not fake for Lu Qi to raise pigs, and he didn't know we would go to the rotten mud pond."
"If Lu Qi had set up and squatted there long ago, thinking about getting out of word of mouth and then looking for the Red Rain Group to get funding, we ended up taking a shortcut. There can be such a thing." Lorna said, "I have to remind you when I look back. Redhead Liz be careful of this."
"She has a sense of oath, so there should be no problem." Gu He thought, "And Jianbao, Jianbao is watching closely."
"That's really hard to say, Elizabeth Sterling is like the kind of person who will be made Po." Lorna snorted, "It seems like it will happen to her when she is deceived by some magician. things."
Gu He was silent, indeed, I have to remind the goose when I look back, if there is anything I need to discuss, it’s better to listen to Jianbao more...
Dongtu Street is a large area, where the streets are vertical and horizontal, and are divided into several different areas, and the streets are controlled by different green forest gangs.
Wenhe Pavilion is located on Mingxing Street in the East District. It is the site of the Mighty Liu Gang, but the influence of scholars is also strong.
The street scene of Mingxing Street is not too different from what they have seen along the way, that is, there are more bookstores, tea houses and libraries on the street where the sound of reading is heard. The influence of the academic school here is obvious.
"Here it is, there it is." At this time, Lorna slowly stopped the car and parked on the side of the road.
Gu He only saw a small piece of quaint buildings on the street where pedestrians came and went. Because there were walls outside, he could only see the roofs and eaves of the buildings covered with overhanging hilltops. He heard the clear voices of the students inside. reading sound.
The three got off the off-road vehicle. Lorna only brought Yan Zhan with him, not a prosthetic body. After all, she really came to visit.
There is a wooden plaque "Wenhe Pavilion" hanging at the entrance of the courtyard. There are no stone lions, but there are two red lanterns.
The gate is not closed, but there are no guards, waiters and other personnel guarding to receive visitors.
Gu He was thinking about whether to go up and knock on the door, or find out where the doorbell is...
"Hello, is there anyone?" Lorna raised her throat and shouted, "We are Lu Qi's friends!"
"Come, come!" The sound of reading inside did not stop, someone answered, and the sound of footsteps followed, walking quickly.
The three of them saw a young man coming, only 16 or 17 years old. He was neither tall nor short, and he was thin. He was wearing the cloth robes and trousers often worn by scholars in the East, but he was covered with various accessories. , and all seem to be religious ornaments.
A string of Buddhist beads is hung around his neck, a cross is tied, there is a yellow paper talisman, and a Pixiu pendant to attract wealth.
He also wears some bracelets on his hands, including voodoo straw rope bracelets, shamanistic animal bone bracelets, two robe sleeves embroidered with tarot card patterns, and other miscellaneous things, even low-level subjects. family logo.
The boy's appearance made the three of them startled, which was really different from the scholars they knew.
The reason why Pandora was stunned was that on the cloth robe there was a sign of the doomsday tribe "Almighty Buck" embracing the world with open arms, but she knew that her own people didn't publicize this at all in the basement.
Gu He was stunned, Mom, didn't you go the wrong way? Isn't Wenhe Pavilion a study place?
Didn't he say "Zibuyu is weird and chaotic", this whole body is full of weird powers and chaos.
"The three are good, it's Xia Lu Jiu." The young man was also looking at them, and a handsome young face showed a smile, "Senior Brother Lu Qi called back when he was walking around the city and said that there would be VIPs visiting, and it was the three of them. Come in, please come in!"
At this moment, Gu He took out the business card that Lu Qi gave and handed it over, Lu Jiu looked at it and made sure of it.
Master Wei went out for a walk, so he was the first to entertain them.
And naturally, they won't ask about the Huwei Escort as soon as they come, at least get familiar with it first to see if the other party is credible.
The three followed the boy into the courtyard of Wenhe Pavilion, and the other party warmly introduced this place to them.
Wenhe Hall has a main hall for entertaining guests and discussing affairs, several dormitories, a library for books, and a reading hall.
"There is a reading hall over there, everyone is the master's disciple." Lu Jiu said.
The three of them passed by and looked at it, not to disturb the students, but they saw that there were several rows of tables and chairs inside, which looked like a small college. The students were studying, and they were all half-year-olds younger than Lu Jiu.
Lu Jiu said that none of them were extraordinary, so there was no Lu Shi.
"Not all of them have extraordinary talents, but educating and educating people, extraordinary talents are second." Lu Jiu said leisurely.
Although this guy is young, he already looks like Lu Qi when he throws his schoolbag.
It's just that the two brothers and sisters are obviously very different in temperament. When Lu Jiu walked around, the religious ornaments on his neck swayed and clacked, which is special among street dogs. I don't know if he is a street dog or not. .
Still Lorna couldn't hold back, "Lu Jiu, what the **** do you believe in?"
"Oh?" Lu Jiu looked down at his own business, "Believe everything."
"You're so dishonest." Lorna laughed, she really didn't understand, "Just about the cross, doesn't the deity religion require that if you believe in deities, you can only believe in deities, what's the matter with you?"
"My heart is sincere, the gods, Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in the sky, who knows which ones are and which ones don't."
Lu Jiu spoke calmly, plausibly, and confidently:
"I will hang them all on my body and try them all. I will worship this one today, and that one tomorrow, and see who will bless me, who will bless me, and I will believe more, and whoever does not bless, I will throw it away. I don't know, this is the Eastern culture."
"Uh..." Gu He was wearing a big "Dongtu" tracksuit, but when he thought about it, it seemed to make sense.
He scratched his head, "But aren't you a scholar, Zibuyu is eccentric..."
He looked at the other party's stupendous outfit, and was really a little afraid of being made a Bao. Later, if Lu Jiu said that there is an immortal appearing, and he wants to make money to do things and develop, it will be a big deal.
"If you can't handle people, how can you handle ghosts? If you don't know life, how can you know death?" Lu Jiu immediately took the words and threw a bunch of schoolbags: "Again, you don't talk about your powers, and you also say that you respect ghosts and gods and stay far away. Of."
Lu Jiu paced two steps and continued to throw: "Xia Dao respects orders, and respects ghosts and keeps them away. Yin people respect gods, and lead the people to serve gods, first ghosts and then rituals. Zhou people respect rituals, and they respect ghosts and stay away. "Book of Rites"
"The person who 'respects propriety and gives gifts' means respecting the law of the communication of propriety, and honoring the matter of giving benefits. "Book of Rites Justice""
"...What the **** are you talking about?" Lorna's head was so big when she heard it, and the laurel crown really became a tight hoop, "Stop reading."
She looked at Gu He, he is from Dongtu, he has read some books, can he understand, can you explain?
It's just that Gu He rolled his eyes and couldn't tell, Mom, who knows what's going on...
Lu Jiu just put it away, the young face was a little embarrassed, and explained to them:
"In other words, businessmen put gods and ghosts first, and sacrificed their lives for the sake of ghosts and gods, which is not good;
"The people of Zhou also worship ghosts and gods, but this is a kind of respect and ritual, and sacrifices are pragmatically in order to obtain the interests of the world, unite the people, and make everyone live a good life in a polite and orderly manner, rather than asking for something from the gods and ghosts. The blessings of the afterlife and the afterlife will not sacrifice life and people to do this kind of thing, so keep it at a distance.”
"So, Brother Gu, you have misunderstood. Our theory of teaching was passed down from Zhou Li, and Confucius wanted to restore Zhou Li all his life to bring peace to the world. , and don't deviate from the Wuzhu cult, otherwise, it will only delay things, and leave things to the scholars to do orthodox sacrifices.
"Educational families have the responsibility to take the lead in offering sacrifices for the people, offering sacrifices to heaven, earth, and ancestors.
"I'm an indoctrinator profession, but unlike Senior Brother Lu Qi, I'm not a sectarian, but a sacrificial sect."
Lu Jiu raised his hands and clasped his fists in reverence towards the sky, and the religious ornaments around his neck rattled.
Lorna still didn't understand much, but Gu He understood 70% to 80%, so he couldn't help but say to the young man, "I've been taught..."
"It's just a little heavy." Lu Jiu grabbed the Pixiu pendant around his neck, took it off and put it in his pocket.
"I don't want this, it has no spiritual power. I promised to sacrifice to it, and it will make me rich. As a result, I lost my money yesterday. Today, a friend came from afar, so I won't lose money? I want to take you out for a meal. Yes, haha."
"You're too practical." Lorna said, "Damn it, I like it."
Gu He really understands now, indeed, this is indeed Eastern culture.
"The people are the most valuable, the society is the second, and the ruler is the light." Lu Jiu read again, "That's why you get the people of Qiu and become the emperor, you get the emperor as a prince, and you get the prince as a high-ranking officer. When the sacrifice is made, the rice is clean, and when it is time to worship the ancestors, but the drought is dry and the water overflows, the plant and grain will be changed.”
Gu He is very familiar with the first sentence, but not so familiar with the latter...
"Can you speak the vernacular?" Lorna's face became a little impatient again, "You really seem to be carrying out a mental attack like this."
"Sorry, pay attention next time." Lu Jiu raised his face and explained again seriously:
"The people are the most important, the country and the gods are the second, and the person in power is the last. If the person in power harms the country, the society and the crops, they will be replaced; if there is no problem with the sacrifice of the people, but the gods are not powerful, then the gods will be replaced. I don't believe you. Come on, get out."
"Then do you want to change the bank?" Pandora asked suddenly.
"It's time to get out." Lu Jiu said immediately, "No need to cover up, our Wenhe Pavilion has always had this attitude."
When everyone looked at the religious ornaments on Lu Jiu's neck, they immediately felt a lot more pleasing to the eye.
Compared to Lu Qi's stability, this little nine is really young and energetic.
The Quaternary, the era dominated the Eastern Territory that pursued the school of theory.
Culturist occupation department, over-hua school, martial arts school, sacrificial school.
"Why can't you say these words?" Lorna looked at Gu He and was wearing a Dongtu tracksuit.
"Uh, maybe it's because the people around me are all bad friends..." Gu He said.
Lorna stared at him and pushed his head heavily, "I really feel sorry for you."
Lu Jiuzheng didn't know how to answer the question. Should he talk about "three friends who benefit and three friends who lose", Pandora said: "Don't worry about them, it has nothing to do with us."
Lu Jiu has a cameo by the leader Liu Chengzhi~~~
