Chapter 12 The Banquet
In about half an hour, the suV drove to a beautiful high-end community.
I have heard of Zhaoyu in this community. This is one of the three villa areas divided by Changshan New District and one of the most expensive villa areas.
Zhao Yu pulled down the car window and took a deep breath. Well, the smell of money.
Soon, SuV stopped in front of a single-family villa, and someone was waiting at the door of the villa early. It was none other than Wu Linlin who was lying on the hospital bed in the morning.
A security guard in black walked quickly to Zhao Yu and opened the car door.
"Sir, get off the car."
As soon as Zhao Yu got off the car, Wu Linlin came up to meet him.
"Linlin has met sir, thanks for helping her." Wu Linlin saluted Zhao Yu with a very restrained attitude.
Zhao Yu nodded: "No need for too much politeness, it's just a deal."
Wu Linlin smiled politely, then turned sideways to invite Zhao Yu in: "Sir, my father and mother have been waiting for a long time."
Zhao Yu nodded slightly, and the two walked side by side into the yard of the villa.
...
In the living room with a bright vision, Zhao Yu sat on the guest seat. The main seat was not Huang Yuyun I saw in the morning, but a majestic middle-aged man, Wu Jianguo.
"Sir, please drink tea. This tea is picked from the big red robe mother tree. Please taste it." Wu Jianguo reached out to signal Zhao Yu to drink tea.
Zhao Yu laughed: "That's the case, Zhao is not polite."
Zhao Yu picked up the teacup on the table, blew a little, and then took a sip.
"It's indeed a good tea, and the lips and teeth are fragrant. However, Zhao didn't understand the tea ceremony, which made the Wu Senator laugh."
The two exchanged greetings for a while, and then Wu Jianguo began to get to the point.
"This invitation to the banquet is to thank you for your life-saving kindness, to fulfill your promise to your husband, and to inquire about something from your husband." Wu Jianguo put down his teacup and looked at Zhao Yu seriously.
"What do you say to the Councillor Wu?" Zhao Yu asked without saying a word.
"Mr. I am a capable man. Neizi has already informed me of this. Therefore, I will naturally fulfill the promises made by Neizi. If Mr. needs me, Wu will do his best to help him. But please take care of Wu for more sake."
Zhao Yu pondered slightly: "Mr. Wu is the executive council member of the provincial government. He holds great power. He is only in his forties now and will have no chance of promotion in the future. I think he can also get in touch with some news that we ordinary people cannot contact?"
"Sir, I'm too proud. Jianguo does know some strange cases that have been suppressed. Moreover, the questions that Jianguo wants to ask Mr. this time are also related to these strange cases." Wu Jianguo said politely.
"Since Jingzhe this year, there should be large-scale natural events around the world. If it is said once or twice, it can be understood as coincidence, or the imperfection of modern science, so I want to know, or the official of the flower planter wants to know what the world has been born..."
Zhao Yu smiled softly: "What the Councillor Wu said is exactly what I want to ask. It seems that all this is not beyond my expectations..."
"It seems that sir knows something, please let me know." Wu Jianguo was very polite.
Zhao Yu nodded: "The spiritual energy has been a kind of energy substance that has been wandering in the void since ancient times, but at some time in ancient times, it began to dry up quickly until it was almost gone.
And for some unknown reasons, spiritual energy, the foundational energy that supports various ancient sects and ancient practitioners, will begin to recover and reappear in the world this year. This is probably the answer that the martial lawmakers want to know."
Wu Jianguo's expression began to become serious: "Sir, since the spiritual energy is revived, does it mean that the monsters and ghosts in myths and legends will also appear in the world?"
"I think these military congressmen should know better than Zhao. Perhaps it is not just ghosts and monsters.
Some sects that have left a strong mark in history and have continued to this day will usher in a new glorious period, and the so-called immortals, demons, Buddhas, demons, ghosts, etc. will reappear in the world.
For us practitioners, this is naturally great news, but for the people and the government, it should not be good news.
The impact of the revival of spiritual energy is not just as simple as it is now displayed.
Zhao can now clearly feel that the heavenly essence and earth energy that are free in the air is becoming more intense every moment. Perhaps the climate and environment will undergo some changes in the future, and it may even be no longer suitable for ordinary people's survival."
Wu Jianguo took a deep breath, then silently thought about something.
Zhao Yu did not disturb Wu Jianguo's thinking, and silently tasted the tea liquid in the cup.
Wuyi Dahongpao, Zhao Yu has only watched this thing in the documentary, but he really never thought that he would be able to drink it one day.
As Zhao Yu said, the resurrection of spiritual energy brought about not only the emergence of practitioners. For today's technology, as long as there is no Taoist fourth realm, practitioners who refine and integrate the Tao, everything else can be suppressed by technology.
I think what really makes the government trouble is the environmental changes brought about by the revival of spiritual energy. As the spiritual energy becomes increasingly rich, some places will inevitably have a blessing in the world.
Of course, these blessed lands are just blessed lands for practitioners. For example, where the fire is rich in spiritual energy, there is at least a temperature of sixty or seventy degrees. On the contrary, where the water is rich in spiritual energy, the temperature is too low, and ordinary humans may survive there.
Some strange phenomena or natural formations will even be naturally born, and such natural and dangerous places will inevitably arise as the spiritual energy gradually recovers.
I don’t know how many people will be displaced by then, these are the things that the official should be troubled.
Generally, human practitioners will not oppose the contemporary officials. Instead, they will ask some disciples to serve in the official position, help the officials, and deal with some incidents of monsters in order to cultivate their own virtues or merits.
What practitioners seek is nothing more than the path to immortality.
Obviously, Zhao Yu's words made Wu Jianguo think of these problems.
After a long time, Wu Jianguo sighed softly: "Faced with the power of nature, human beings are really fragile."
"Maybe..." Zhao Yu echoed casually.
Not to mention the extremely terrifying realms divided in the chat group, just among the four realms of Taoism, the third realm of practicing the spirit and returning to the virtual realm, you can mobilize the power to control the world, and it can be called a human-shaped strategic weapon.
If you reach the fourth level of Taoism, refine the emptiness and combine the Tao, refine the power of heaven and earth for your own use, and condense the Dharma body (golden body), this kind of existence is not an existence that modern technology can harm.
The defense of the Dharma body is enough to allow practitioners to go to the core of the sun and take a hot bath.
"Sir, it's getting late. Neizi should have ordered someone to prepare a dinner party and invite Mr. Jianguo to have a family dinner with him." Wu Jianguo said.
Zhao Yu had no intention of not agreeing.
Wu Jianguo took Zhao Yu to the second floor, the first floor was the living room, and the second floor was considered a dining room.
A long table was filled with various dining plates, and the decoration on the second floor was different from the first floor, and it was very magnificent.
Zhao Yu couldn't help but glance at Wu Jianguo, with a deep look.
You are an official, so rich...
When Wu Jianguo saw Zhao Yu's eyes, he naturally knew that he had misunderstood: "Sir, don't misunderstand. Although Jianguo dared not say he was honest, he was not a corrupt official. My Wu family has been passed down from the previous dynasty to this day, but it has not only been supported by Jianguo, a provincial party member."
Zhao Yu suddenly realized that for a clan that has been passed down for hundreds of years, its background is not something ordinary people can imagine.
Perhaps the current popularity of Taobao and Goose has other people's shares?
According to international regulations, the shareholding ratio is less than 5% and the information of the shareholders is confidential.
At the long table, Huang Yuyun and Wu Linlin, who had already taken their seats, stood up to show their respect for Zhao Yu.
"Sir, please come to the seat." Wu Jianguo made a gesture of invitation.
"Military Councillors, please."
The two of them came to the table one after another, and Huang Yuyun and Wu Linlin continued to do it.
"Linlin, before eating this time, you have to give your Uncle Zhao a cup first. You can't repay your life-saving grace." Huang Yuyun whispered to Wu Linlin beside him.
Wu Linlin immediately picked up the wine glass in front of her. The light reflected by the mellow red wine in the wine glass was crystal clear.
"Uncle Zhao, Linlin toast you, thank Uncle Zhao for his life-saving grace." Wu Linlin stood up, bowed to Zhao Yushen with a glass, and then drank the wine in the glass.
Zhao Yu also picked up the wine glass, shook it gently, and took a sip.
"Linlin, don't be polite. I think Mrs. Huang will tell you about my relationship with Ranran. If you don't mind, you can call me Brother Zhao. As for life-saving grace, the Wu Senator has already returned it."
Zhao Yu is only 21 years old now and is still very uncomfortable being called uncle by a girl of seventeen or eighteen.
Zhao Yu did not say anything big at the dinner table, but told a few stories about strange stories, and the few people were addicted to it. Finally, Zhao Yu also asked Wu Linlin about Zhou Ziyu's situation.
Zhao Yu obviously noticed the change in Wu Linlin's expression. It seemed that the little girl knew some of Zhou Ziyu's situations, and even knew that Zhou Ziyu was a practitioner. Tsk tsk, the situation changed a little more.
After she completes the task of the chat group, no matter whether she is an evil cultivator or not, she should meet Zhou Ziyu and get in touch with the practitioners in this world.
Chat groups are the foundation for you in the future, and everything else is secondary.
After dinner, Zhao Yu took a break at the Wu family for a while, and then said goodbye like Wu Jianguo.
"Since that's the case, I'll send you to you sir." Wu Jianguo stood up and sent Zhao Yu out.
...
At the door of the villa, the driver Chen Fu was waiting here early, holding a paper bag in his hand.
Wu Jianguo took the paper bag and handed it to Zhao Yu.
"Sir, a mere polite gift is not worthy of respect."
Zhao Yu took the bag and a stack of information inside, all of which were natural incident files from Hebei Province for more than half a year, as well as a bank card and a real estate certificate.
Zhao Yu was not pretentious either, but just nodded to Wu Jianguo.
Chapter completed!
