Poor Taoist Qiu Chuji
Chapter 294 5 Coming Back 1
Chapter 294 The Five Elements Will Become One
Director Gu came back not long after. He nodded to Qiu Chuji. Seeing that although Yang Guo had some joy on his face, Qiu Chuji didn’t show any emotion at all, he couldn’t help but feel a little regretful, but still said, “The higher-ups have agreed. We can give you six pieces of discarded artifacts first.”
“Once the matter is done, if you can bring the artifact back intact from South Korea, we can allow you to have 30 pieces of abandoned artifact debris. Even if you can’t bring it back, as long as you successfully prevent South Korea from controlling the artifact, we can give you another 10 pieces.”
“Of course, if you are willing to tell us the purpose and usage of these discarded artifacts, we are also willing to give you a few more discarded artifacts as rewards.”
“Everything… can be discussed!”
Director Gu smiled brightly, as if the price he offered was very intimidating.
Hearing this, Yang Guo was surprised and said, “Only six pieces? So stingy?”
Director Gu’s expression remained unchanged, and he just continued to smile and said, “Don’t be surprised, the two of you. These artifacts that have always been controlled by people are already rare, and these spiritual artifacts will also hide themselves. The research institutes in various places also have certain consumption indicators every year for research, so the reserves… are not sufficient.”
Director Gu’s explanation sounded reasonable, but neither Qiu nor Yang believed it.
The other party was not just testing them, but also trying to figure out what use the remains of the artifact were to them, the grandfather and grandson, and how important they were.
If Qiu Chuji started bargaining, he would be showing off his true colors, and the other party could take advantage of it to take advantage of them, or even gradually recruit them into their ranks.
By then, what’s yours and mine?
Qiu Chuji didn’t say much, just responded: “Then let’s do this for now!”
“Please arrange the identities and itinerary for my grandparents and me to go to South Korea. I think… if I go there with my current identity, the South Koreans will definitely not accept me.”
Director Gu was a little disappointed when he saw Qiu Chuji didn’t respond at all, but he still actively cooperated and said, “Yes! We have also considered this aspect.”
“Brother Yang can actually go there directly. The plastic surgery industry there is well developed. Although Brother Yang has had his facial skin restored, the facial tissues and muscles are inevitably damaged, so they are not very coordinated. You can go there on the pretext of getting medical treatment.”
Qiu Chuji understood the meaning of the music by hearing the strings. Since Yang Guo was arranged to go there with his real identity, he would definitely have to sneak to South Korea.
When something happens to Yang Guo, Qiu Chuji will have a suitable reason to take action.
Then this is a civil dispute and has nothing to do with national games.
On the surface, it was exactly the same as what happened with Tailan.
Maybe if some news really comes out, Tailan will jump out to thank Qiu Chuji and Yang Guo for avenging them.
They said that they should be allowed to act freely and accomplish their goals, but in fact, arrangements have already begun.
“When will my ship arrive?” Qiu Chuji asked Director Gu.
Since it’s smuggling, you can basically only get there by boat.
If we don’t take a boat, do we have to go around to the Northern Dynasty and pass through it?
More trouble!
“It depends on what you mean. If you want it as soon as possible, you can get on the boat tonight,” said Director Gu.
“Then do it as soon as possible!” Qiu Chuji didn’t have much to pack, so it was unnecessary to make any preparations.
Now I have two “magic weapons” at hand, one for assault and one for assassination, which are actually enough.
He didn’t think anything could threaten him unless he encountered a super monster that had a huge influence on the course of history.
If such monsters existed in South Korea, they would not have to perform blood sacrifices or cultivate national treasures.
As for monsters that are not from South Korea, the possibility of them going to South Korea is of course basically zero.
This kind of artifact is of top importance in any country, and it is impossible to send it to other countries unless it is absolutely necessary.
Of course, the use of weapons of mass destruction is also a threat to Qiu Chuji.
Qiu Chuji is now in a severely weakened condition. He cannot use his soul to manifest, nor can he use the Yuxu Bell to escape. Those super-large-yield explosions pose a threat to him.
However, as long as the South Koreans are not completely crazy, they will not use this.
Even if they want to use it, they have to consider the opinions of their American fathers first.
Before sunset, Qiu Chuji boarded a luxury cruise ship.
The cruise ship originally departed from Shanghai and was to pass through many places in Asia and the Pacific, including Mount Afu in South Bangalore, the island country of Yokohama, and Mangu in Thailand, for a total of eighteen days before returning to China after a circle.
Qiu Chuji arrived at Fushan on the third day, and then quietly disembarked alone under arrangement.
After arriving at Fushan, naturally some “civilian” overseas Chinese would contact him and provide him with intelligence and logistical services.
To put it bluntly, Yang Guo was an instigator and Qiu Chuji was a thug.
Investigate specific details, make plans, etc. There are other candidates.
Although Director Gu said that he entrusted them with important tasks and regarded them as the best candidates to solve the problem, officials have two mouths, and you can’t just listen to what comes out of his mouth.
To put it bluntly, Qiu Chuji and Yang Guo might even be just backup candidates, while the main strategists are others.
Yang Guo was openly arranged to go there, which was supposed to have the effect of attracting attention and diverting vision.
Of course, these are all on the surface. Qiu Chuji chose to cooperate, and of course he was aware of the truth.
In the final analysis, Qiu Chuji himself wanted the artifact from the South Korean blood sacrifice, and wanted to refine it into his own magic weapon.
After all, Qiu Chuji has always lacked a magical weapon that he can use. Although the Yuxu Bell is good, it is a big weapon, and Qiu Chuji is far from being able to use it at will.
When Qiu Chuji was reading the information, he discovered that the South Korean blood sacrifice was carried out based on the theory of the five elements.
For example, the sinking of the Shiyue was an obvious water sacrifice, the Litaiyuan stampede was consistent with an earth sacrifice, and the Dacuo subway arson was consistent with a fire sacrifice. Not only that, these sacrifices themselves also carry some meaning of the five elements transformation.
Although the Dacuo arson was mainly a fire sacrifice, it took place in the subway, underground, and was a situation of underground fire.
Although the sinking of the Shiyue was a water sacrifice, the ship carrying the teachers and students was made of steel, which belongs to the metal and water situation.
This is enough to show that the instrument used in the South Bang blood sacrifice contains the functions of the five elements. Now that Qiu Chuji has opened up the five internal organs and his spirit has transformed into the god of the five elements, if there is an instrument of the five elements, it will be just right for him.
To put it in an old saying… This thing is destined to be with me.
······
There is not much to say about the two days and two nights on the cruise ship. Qiu Chuji had longed for cruise travel in his previous life, but now he is not very interested in it.
After getting on and off the boat at the Fushan dock, a business car picked up Qiu Chuji and drove straight to Shou’er.
Although theoretically, the artifact could be anywhere in South Korea, the most likely place for it to appear is undoubtedly the animal ear.
After all, the Beast Ears have the largest population, and if a blood sacrifice is required, it will be easier to organize.
The driver who picked him up was an overseas Chinese, but he didn’t sound like an insider.
He came here around 2005, and after working hard for a few years, he brought his wife and children to South Korea, thinking he could give them a good life.
As a result, within a year, his hometown took off. The ancestral home and homestead they sold are now worth much more than what he had accumulated over the years of working hard in South Korea. It was really shocking.
As the driver, Lao Song, drove, he pointed at the photo frame hanging on the rearview mirror and said, “This is my daughter. She’s a trainee now. I’ve made up my mind. As long as she debuts and becomes famous, I’ll bring her back to China and export her products to sell domestically. Isn’t it better for her to make money in China than to suffer the humiliation here?”
Qiu Chuji nodded in agreement. What else could he say?
Are you saying that Old Song has been doing the same work as joining the enemy army in 1949?
Even if Qiu Chuji didn’t understand, he knew from the general situation that the idol industry’s export-to-domestic sales strategy was no longer popular in the country.
After following Lao Song to Shou’er, Qiu Chuji finally found out that the official contact person assigned to him was actually Lao Song’s daughter Song Cailing. Unlike Lao Song, who made repeated mistakes in judgment, Song Cailing seized the opportunity to show her value and successfully found a job as a civilian informant in addition to her idol career.
I’m not really an agent, I just provide help within my ability when there’s a mission requirement.
In exchange, the country’s industrial layout in South Korea can provide a little insignificant help to Song Cailing’s idol career.
Song Cailing, wearing a student uniform, a white fluffy hat, and a mask covering most of her face, led Qiu Chuji to walk on the Han River Bridge.
“I have also studied the theory of the Five Elements Sacrifice. The last time was a plane explosion, which was a gold and fire situation, so the next one should be a water and soil situation. The Han River Bridge is a very suitable place.” Song Cailing walked in front, analyzing with some excitement. Her voice was not too small, and she was not worried about being heard.
Of course, the words she used were not even Mandarin, but Ningbo dialect.
If Qiu Chuji was not well-informed, he might not have understood.
“Is this matter discussed a lot in South Korea?” Qiu Chuji asked.
Song Cailing nodded: “Of course a lot!”
“Doesn’t the country control public opinion?” Qiu Chuji asked again.
“How can I manage it? I can’t manage it at all!”
“Although South Korea also uses real-name registration to access the Internet, many social apps are directly connected to the international community, unlike ours, which has a single service area.”
“The South Korean government is notoriously soft and cannot be controlled at all. Except for certain controls on some domestic social software, anything involving foreign countries can basically be freely spoken,” said Song Cailing.
“Is there anyone on the Internet who can make a reliable analysis?” Qiu Chuji asked.
He dare not underestimate the wisdom of netizens.
There are many people who hide among the crowd because they are mediocre.
But there are also some people who are buried by the crowd because they lack the opportunity to display their talents.
Especially in South Korea, it is normal for talent to be overwhelmed by mediocrity.
“I have some. Let me show you!”
“Oh, by the way… I forgot that you don’t know Korean. Let me translate it for you!” Song Cailing said.
Qiu Chuji did not explain that when he came by boat, he had already mastered the Southern Bangla language and part of the Bangla script.
“Here… there’s a guy called Jiangnan Dionysus who said: As the international pressure on South Korea increases, bloody sacrifices will become more frequent, so everyone should not join in the fun. Don’t go to places with a lot of people.”
“Also, this guy named ‘My thing is more than one millimeter big’ said: If there is another blood sacrifice, it is very likely that it will not be a water and soil sacrifice, but a combination of the five elements, and it will be a super-large sacrifice with at least more than a thousand people.”
“Huh…he actually deleted the post!” Song Cailing said in surprise.
Qiu Chuji was moved when he heard this.
Could it be that what he said came true?
“What software are you using?” Qiu Chuji asked.
“It’s Twitter!” said Song Cailing.
“Twitter?”
“The Twitter that governs the country?” Qiu Chuji was a little stunned.
Then he realized that it was not the South Korean government that deleted the post, but most likely the American government.
For a national treasure, China is definitely not the only country that is eyeing it.
All major countries in the world may be eyeing it.
Not stopping or interfering with South Korea’s efforts to build a national treasure before can be seen as not interfering in other countries’ internal affairs, but it can also be seen as waiting to reap the benefits.
Especially the United States, they have sufficient position and moral bottom line to make such arrangements.
“In this case, the conclusion of that analysis is very likely correct.”
“Because the more the opponent hides, the more it means that the truth has been touched.”
Qiu Chuji immediately said to Song Cailing, “Look again to see if there are any posts with similar opinions to the deleted ones, and whether they have also been deleted?”
Song Cailing started moving immediately, not caring to move forward.
There is a lot of traffic on the Han River Bridge, so it’s quite busy.
However, this cross-river bridge, which is regarded as a source of pride for the Korean people, is actually very ordinary.
Not to mention the first- and second-tier cities in China, many small fifth-, sixth-, seventh- and eighth-tier cities, if they were next to large rivers and had built cross-river bridges, might be more spectacular than the Han River Bridge, but they are just not as lively as here.
After five or six minutes, Song Cailing looked a little depressed and said, “No! I can’t find it… There are many theories, but there is basically nothing similar.”
Qiu Chuji laughed instead.
This just proves that his previous guess was correct.
If a few minutes ago, he still suspected that there were signs of deliberate misleading.
Now, he was almost certain that the unification of the five elements was the most recent… or even the last blood sacrifice.
“Is there any place nearby that meets the requirements of having many people and the five elements returning to one?” Qiu Chuji asked Song Cailing.
“Ah! A place like this?”
“Let me think about it!” Song Cailing pinched her chin and thought hard.
Qiu Chuji reminded: “It is not necessary to have all the conditions directly. As long as more than half of them are met, the rest can be made up by human effort or the right time!”
Qiu Chuji did not rely entirely on Song Cailing. He also took out his cell phone to check.
In fact, when asking the question, Qiu Chuji already had a vague idea.
There seem to be quite a few places that meet the requirements of having a large population and all five elements, but Qiu Chuji happened to think of a very suitable place.
“Got it! Beast Ear Olin Stadium!”
“There is good greenery there, and it is close to the Han River. The main structure is made of steel. Basically, water, earth, wood, and metal are all there. The only thing missing is fire.”
“And just one week later, the most popular South Korean boy band, Mars Boys, will hold the first stop of their global concert at the Zouer Olin Stadium.”
“Many fans will come to support us then!”
“It’s over! Our company is also one of the partners, and we trainees have to go on stage to dance…” Song Cailing took off her mask, revealing her delicate little face the size of a palm, and pouted.
Qiu Chuji did not respond immediately after hearing this.
Although it may be an overthinking, this conclusion is a bit too easy to come by.
Even if the South Korean government is full of good-for-nothings, they probably… probably wouldn’t set up the trap so obviously, right? ?
