Chapter 1458: The Otherworld (172)

It is the dream of many scientists to be the assistant of Professor Cow Piklaas, because Professor Niu Piklas is the first guest speaker invited by various countries, and traveling around with him can not only meet many high-level people, but also greatly enhance his own reputation.

In terms of seniority, Oda Lima is much lower than Cowhide Klaas, so although she doesn't want Pang Xiaonan to accept this errand, it is not easy to point it out in person.

"This ......" Pang Xiaonan hesitated slightly, because he really had nothing to do with scientists, and then he felt a painful force in his lower back, and it was Rita Lima who secretly started it.

"I'm sorry, Professor Cowhide Klaas, I'm still in school and can't leave Huahai City, so I can't accept your beauty. Pang Xiaonan immediately understood the spirit of Oda Lima, because just now she had to take care of her more in Huahai City.

"I know, you are studying at Dongli Military Academy, I can say hello to your principal, it will not affect your going out, just when you enter the internship period in advance. "Professor Cow Piklaas is not giving up, he really values Pang Xiaonan's ability.

"Well, it's not just a matter of going to school, I have some other things to deal with in Huahai City, so I can't leave, I understand your kindness, I'm really sorry. Pang Xiaonan didn't want to go through Rita Rita's hot hand destruction again.

"It's a pity, if you change your mind, feel free to contact me. Professor Kraftklaas also took out a business card and handed it to Pang Xiaonan, this time the business card was much simpler, only a name and a phone number were printed, white paper, and black letters.

Professor Cowhide Klaas turned to leave, and Pang Xiaonan immediately rubbed the muscles in his waist and complained to Oda Rima: "Can you not treat my body as your own." ”

"No, what's yours is mine. Rita Lima smiled charmingly and walked away quickly.

After the meal, the scientists left one after another, and Pang Xiaonan drove Rita Rima to the teacher's building of the Dongli Military Academy, where the school arranged a luxurious apartment for her to show respect for this internationally renowned scientist.

Lieutenant General Ma Brilan, the principal of the Dongli Military Academy, personally met with Oda Rima and welcomed her arrival, and when he found that Pang Xiaonan was also there, he asked curiously: "What, you know Professor Oda Rima?"

"This ......" Pang Xiaonan was hesitant, and it was difficult to answer, after all, he was Oda Rima who met during the Black Mamba mission, which seemed to conflict with the selection of the Sea Dragon Commando.

"He's a distant brother of mine, and I'm a relative of him in Huahai City, so I asked him to pick me up. "Oda Lima Ti Pang Xiaonan relieved the siege.

"That's the case, then it's easy to do, Pang Xiaonan, you have to take your sister around in the future and get familiar with our environment here as soon as possible, you know?" Although Lieutenant General Mabrilan felt that there was something strange in this, he didn't ask much.

"Yes, Headmaster. Pang Xiaonan reluctantly agreed and found an excuse to leave the school.

After Pang Xiaonan left, Rita Rima asked Lieutenant General Mabrilan curiously: "Principal Mabrilan, you seem to be very familiar with Pang Xiaonan?"

Rita's instincts told her that Lieutenant General Mabrilan was more familiar with Pang Xiaonan than a college freshman in school, because the principal could not have an impression of every student, and Lieutenant General Mabrilan seemed to be an old acquaintance when talking to Pang Xiaonan.

"Oh, well, Pang Xiaonan is our champion in this year's mixed martial arts tournament, and I'm naturally familiar with it. "Lieutenant General Mabriland deliberately did not disclose the information of the Sea Dragon Commando, after all, this is a state secret.

Oda Rima had heard of Pang Xiaonan's heroic deeds at school, so she didn't ask anymore, but she became more and more curious about Pang Xiaonan's identity.

After Pang Xiaonan left the school, he came directly to the headquarters of the Nanhai Gang.

Brother Monkey is working nervously in the office, since he annexed the Scissors Gang and the Butterfly Gang, the things in the gang are piled up, Pang Xiaonan doesn't care, and Brother Monkey can only do it himself.

Pang Xiaonan went straight to Brother Monkey's office and greeted, "Brother Monkey, are you working hard?"

"If you don't work hard, you can't do it, the three Zhao brothers have been sent out of the country by us, and their affairs have now fallen on my head, do you say I don't work hard?" Brother Monkey walked out from behind the desk and accompanied Pang Xiaonan to make tea.

"How is Uncle Tao's cooperation?" Pang Xiaonan is most concerned about whether Uncle Tao, a martial arts master, is really willing to help Nanhai Gang officials.

Brother Monkey nodded and said: "His cooperation is okay, in fact, for him, it is just a change of organization, we retain his shares, and we do things, he just mediates from it, and can't manage things, but for him, it's easy." ”

"It's good if he thinks about it. Pang Xiaonan took a sip of tea, "How is the compensation in the urban village handled?"

"According to what you said, we have already made up for the demolition households that are below the government's price, and in addition, on the basis of the original, we have also made up for the demolition households that are particularly difficult. The village chief's son was satisfied and said to thank you personally. Brother Monkey moved his neck, since he became the leader of the South China Sea Gang, the paperwork has exhausted him.

"Thank me, you don't have to, just let him stay and don't make trouble. Pang Xiaonan suddenly thought of something, "By the way, there is still a lot of land in their village, right? We can set up a joint venture company with their village to develop those lands, distribute the benefits well, and let him come forward to organize it, he is the son of the village chief and a turtle, don't waste this advantage." ”

"Yes, the development of urban villages really needs him as a role, and I will arrange it immediately. Brother Monkey was full of energy, and suddenly had some thoughts, "We have now annexed the Scissors Gang and the Butterfly Gang, and there are still two gangs in Huahai City that have not been unified, what are you going to do?"

"There's no hurry, I'll visit Uncle Tao first. Pang Xiaonan put down the teacup and walked towards the door.

Uncle Tao's villa is located on a mountain in the north of Huahai City, which was originally sparsely populated, but now it has been developed into a tourist area.

Pang Xiaonan drove to the gate of Uncle Tao's house, reported his name to the TV intercom, waited for a while, the door opened, and Pang Xiaonan drove in slowly.

This is a huge house, there is a fountain in the middle of the yard, the silver-white water column beats happily, Pang Xiaonan drove around the pool, found a place to park in front of the villa, and walked towards the villa.

Uncle Tao appeared at the door and greeted Pang Xiaonan's arrival with a smile.

"Uncle Tao, how are you doing?" Pang Xiaonan greeted warmly, last time he stabbed Uncle Tao, and the power of the Yin Yang Spirit Rhino made Uncle Tao defeat on the spot, even if it was the level of a martial arts master, he had to be defeated at his feet.

"Thanks to you, it's no big deal. Uncle Tao gave up, and his demeanor was still so dignified.

The two walked into the villa, and Pang Xiaonan felt that in addition to luxury, it was luxury, and the decoration here was more like an ancient palace than Zhang Ping's home.

Uncle Tao has been in Huahai City for decades, and naturally he has scavenged a lot of people's fat and ointment, and his huge financial resources can build such a luxurious palace.

Uncle Tao directly led Pang Xiaonan to the study, where there was already a beautiful woman in ancient clothes sitting there, and in front of her was a guqin.

There was a big tea table in the study, which was carved from the roots of Huanghuali, and Uncle Tao made a gesture of please and led Pang Xiaonan to sit down in front of the tea table.

After the two entered the study, another beautiful woman wearing a tea man's costume came in and sat on the main seat of making tea.

After Uncle Tao sat down, he shouted to the woman behind the guqin: "Play music." ”

A quaint piano sounded melodiously, echoing in the tea room space, Pang Xiaonan gave a thumbs up to Uncle Tao, "Pay attention to ......"

The tea table and the guqin stood opposite each other, and Pang Xiaonan noticed that there was a word on the wall behind the guqin: Tranquility and Zhiyuan.

These four big characters are strong and powerful, and the power penetrates the back of the paper, even Pang Xiaonan, who doesn't know much about calligraphy, can see that this character is definitely written by an expert.

Pang Xiaonan pointed to the four big characters and asked Uncle Tao: "This is an antique, right?

Uncle Tao smiled, stroked his white beard, and said, "It's not an antique, it's just the work of a famous contemporary calligrapher, he has some intersection with me, and this was given to me when he was still alive." ”

"Which calligrapher?" Pang Xiaonan is not too familiar with contemporary calligraphers.

"Qi Gong. Uncle Tao looked at the painting and slowly said two words.

Born in a scholarly family, Mr. Qi Gong practiced calligraphy under the supervision of his grandfather since he was a child. Qi Gong believes that writing only needs to write out the structure, look good, take the pen how you like, and use the pen how you like. Even if you write a few words a day, it is hard work to write the structure of the words accurately. The "five-three-five" unequal structure font is his original "Qiti" calligraphy.

Although Pang Xiaonan is not familiar with Qi Gong, this name is like thunder, and the market price of Qi Gong is not cheaper than those in ancient times.

Pang Xiaonan took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "I think ah, the four words "no desire" are more suitable for you." ”

"People are not plants and trees, the old man is just a martial arts master, and he has not become an immortal, where can he talk about having no desires and no desires. "Uncle Tao knows himself deeply.

"Besides, do you know who brought it up with Desireless?"

Pang Xiaonan shook his head and said, "I only know the full text, it seems that the sea is tolerant and tolerant, and the walls are rigid if there is no desire." ”

Uncle Tao nodded and said, "This is Lin Zexu's famous saying. ”

Lin Zexu is a person who knows all the history of Chinese studies, and can be said to be a national hero.

"Does Lin Zexu have no desires and no desires?" Uncle Tao raised a philosophical question, "The real desirelessness should be a person like Lao Tzu who advocates inaction, a big official, if he has no desires and no desires, then he will not be able to reach that official position, Lin Zexu is called a national hero, then he has a desire for national rejuvenation, so this person is not really desireless, but yearns for desirelessness." ”

Pang Xiaonan smiled, "It seems that Uncle Tao has a lot of research on the philosophy of life. ”

Uncle Tao shook his head and said: "Why do I want to retire to the rivers and lakes, it is because I also yearn for desirelessness, but my desirelessness does not mean that the people below me will have no desire, I am not living alone, there are so many people who rely on me to live, I naturally have to take on this responsibility." ”

"So you use the Butterfly Gang to control the underground world of Huahai City. Pang Xiaonan said lightly, and continued to pick up the cup and drink tea, this is the best black tea.

Black tea gets its name because of the black appearance of the finished tea. Black tea belongs to post-fermented tea, and the black hair tea raw materials used in traditional black tea have a high degree of maturity, which is the main raw material for pressed tea. The tea-making process of black hair tea generally includes four processes: finishing, rolling, piling and drying.

Black tea varieties can be divided into three categories: pressed tea and bulk tea and flower rolls, pressed tea is brick tea, mainly there are bricks, flower bricks, black bricks, green brick tea, commonly known as four bricks, bulk tea mainly has Tianjian, Gongjian, Shengjian are collectively called three tips, and Huajuan tea has ten taels, one hundred taels, one thousand taels, etc.

"Believe it or not, if it weren't for me, the underground world of Huahai City would be a mess. "Uncle Tao is not shy about his contribution to the underground order of Huahai City.

Pang Xiaonan nodded and said, "Well, I believe this." ”

As the mastermind behind the Butterfly Gang, he not only stabilized some gray industries through gang forces, but also relied on his own influence to balance the forces of all parties, and Uncle Tao's contribution is not small.

"This underground world, if there is no powerful force to suppress it, let it develop freely, the consequences are unimaginable, after I retire, if I don't care about the gang forces, it will inevitably cause a bloody situation, so, I control the Butterfly Gang, it is also a last resort, I am not afraid of your jokes when I say it, this is a sense of responsibility of a martial arts master. ”

Uncle Tao's words were full of anger, not at all like a seriously injured person, and sure enough, a martial arts master's self-healing ability was quite strong.

"But your methods are too ruthless, I thought you were the reincarnation of the Great Demon King, if it weren't for my luck, I should have been killed by you by now. Pang Xiaonan didn't want to mention the old accounts, he recounted the past with Uncle Tao in a joking tone.

"It's not your luck, it's that your strength is strong enough, in fact, I'm very happy to see you. Uncle Tao's tone was sincere, not like flattery.

"Oh, what do you mean by that?" Pang Xiaonan played with the teacup with great interest.

"I thought at first, I don't know where the bastard boy came out, trying in vain to disrupt the pattern of the underground world in Huahai City, in this case, of course I can't sit idly by, the gang power pattern in Huahai City is what I spent years of hard work to stabilize, I am not completely profitable, my main purpose is to stabilize and harmonious society, how can I tolerate a new force to do whatever he wants?"

Speaking of this, Uncle Tao looked at Pang Xiaonan, and his eyes were very warm.

"So knowing the news that the three brothers of the Zhao family were imprisoned, I must personally go to eradicate the South China Sea Gang, if you can't even win with me, you are not qualified to rule the underground world of Huahai City instead of me, but if you win me, I can retire, I can't wait to hand over this troublesome matter to you, this is where I am grateful." ”

After Uncle Tao finished speaking, he picked up his special cup and took a sip of tea.

His cup, the shape is simple, and there is a small lotus flower at the bottom of the cup, which is a famous building lamp in China.

Most of them have large mouths and small soles, some are shaped like funnels, and most of them are circled feet and the circle feet are shallow, the roots of the feet are often repaired (commonly known as chamfers), and the soles of the feet are slightly oblique, and a few are solid feet (mainly small round bowls). The shape is simple and vigorous, and the feel is generally heavy.

The basic characteristics of the fetal quality of the black porcelain of the kiln are: the cross-sectional color is black or gray-black, black-brown, which is caused by the high iron content; the fetal bone is thick and hard, and there is a metallic sound when knocking, commonly known as the "iron tire", which feels heavy; it contains more sand particles, so the fetal quality is rougher, and the feel of the exposed tire is also coarse. Due to the thick carcass of Jianzhan in the black porcelain of the kiln, the tire contains small pores, which is conducive to the heat preservation of tea soup and is suitable for the needs of tea fighting.

"He is worthy of being a martial arts master, and his realm is really high. Pang Xiaonan gave Uncle Tao a thumbs up.

"What martial arts grandmaster, isn't he defeated by your men?" Uncle Tao smiled at Pang Xiaonan, "There are talented people in the country, and a generation of new people replaces the old, you are only 20 years old, you can already defeat a grandmaster-level martial arts master, and in time, it is very likely that you will step into the realm of immortals." ”

"It depends on luck. Pang Xiaonan is not polite, he knows that even if he steps into the fairy world, he is just a horse boy of a gorilla, there are mountains outside the mountains, there are people outside the people, and there are immortals outside the immortals.

"But Uncle Tao, your robot is chic, you are a martial arts person, how can you think of developing high technology?"

"Whether it's martial arts, science and technology, as long as you can exert great power, it's all the same way, if it weren't for your superb martial arts, my robot, the master of defeating the peak of martial arts, can do it effortlessly. ”

After Uncle Tao semi-retired, the cultivation method reached a bottleneck, so he began to become interested in high-tech, just as the research and development of intelligent robots was in full swing, he also joined the revolution, his research direction, is the robot of the combat department, that is, the robot series he brought to attack the South China Sea Gang that day.

"It's the same as I thought," Pang Xiaonan smashed his mouth and sucked the tea fragrance into his throat, "I think so too, science and technology are just the truth that we have already figured out, and martial arts cultivation is technology that we can't figure out the principle, so we have to grasp it with both hands." ”

"Oh, you're also developing robots?" Uncle Tao became interested, which is his biggest hobby now.

"It's not a robot, I don't have as much courage as you, your robot costs millions, right?" Pang Xiaonan asked tentatively.

"Tens of millions. Uncle Tao touched his beard, "This is still the cost, and I don't know how much the R&D funds cost me." ”

"Hey, you can't afford to play with technology without money, it's like you can't cultivate at that level without resources. Pang Xiaonan sighed and poured a sip of tea, "I developed a smart glasses, which cost me millions." ”

Pang Xiaonan gave a rough idea of the plan of force value glasses to Uncle Tao.

"Good stuff. Uncle Tao gave Pang Xiaonan a thumbs up, "Since we have the same concept, otherwise, we will join forces to develop smart devices together." ”

"Okay, but let me tell you, the Morgan consortium has also researched something, which is similar to your robot, and it is still rich and easy to do things. Pang Xiaonan communicated Bridgemorgan's armor with Uncle Tao in detail.

Uncle Tao sighed with emotion, "Then his concept is more advanced, and in the end, the strength of the big consortium is stronger." ”

"It doesn't matter if he's strong or not, but we have our own methods, the three stinkers have beaten Zhuge Liang, and our research results combined will definitely not be worse than his. Pang Xiaonan cheered up Uncle Tao, and he also cheered himself up, no matter how powerful that armor was, he saved his life several times, and in the end, he was still buried in New Bloss.

"In that case, the matter of our cooperation in the development of intelligent robots is so decided?" Uncle Tao was afraid that Pang Xiaonan would regret it, after all, his life was still in Pang Xiaonan's hands.

"That's it. ”

Unconsciously, the two chatted about the meal, and Uncle Tao got up and said, "I prepared some coarse tea and light rice, or we will eat first, and then continue to discuss the details." ”

"Okay. Pang Xiaonan also got up and pointed to the beautiful woman who played the guqin, "Your old man really has Yaxing, and he also raises a few artists at home." ”

"This is not an artist I raised, they are all teachers, that is the teacher who teaches the guqin, this is the teacher who teaches tea art, they are fine during the day, I think you are the first time to come to the cold house, so I asked them to come over to help the fun. ”

Uncle Tao didn't tell a lie, the two beauties are indeed high-level art teachers.

"You are here in a humble house, then we live in a thatched hut......" Pang Xiaonan and Uncle Tao pulled their homely clothes and walked towards the outside of the teahouse.

Uncle Tao's so-called coarse tea and light rice is really coarse tea and light rice, a few plates of green vegetables, a bowl of fish soup, and a plate of Kung Pao chicken, other than that, there are no tricks.

"I don't know if you're used to eating, I usually eat two or three dishes by myself, but today you came, and I ordered the kitchen to add a few more side dishes. "Uncle Tao didn't be polite to Pang Xiaonan.

Pang Xiaonan nodded and said, "You are a healthy meal." ”

"The so-called qi is full of food and does not think about food, we cultivators, by absorbing the aura of heaven and earth, we can already stand between heaven and earth, this grain and grain, that is, as a supplement, so I don't have high requirements for eating, besides, digesting food still has to consume true qi, it is better to eat less. You are also a cultivator, so you must agree with me. ”

Uncle Tao took a cabbage sum by himself, put it in his mouth and chewed it.

All the dishes don't seem to have any oil or water, and there are no seasonings, and they all seem to be original.

"Yes, it's better to eat simply. Pang Xiaonan didn't have any requirements for food, what to eat, he drank a bowl of fish soup first. The soup is very delicious, and it seems that the fish is very fresh.

"Where did this fish come from, didn't you buy it from the vegetable market?" Pang Xiaonan had also made fish at home, and had never made this kind of taste.

"This fish is caught from the river, and when my chef is fine, I let him go fishing to catch crabs, and the ingredients we have here are basically wild, and the vegetables are also grown by themselves. Uncle Tao also scooped a bowl of fish soup and took a small sip with a spoon.

"You are picking chrysanthemums under the east fence and leisurely seeing the pastoral life of Nanshan. Pang Xiaonan enviously poured all the soup in the bowl into his mouth.

"At my age, I just yearn for this kind of life. Uncle Tao put another handful of cabbage into the bowl.

"How long are you?" Pang Xiaonan was very curious about the age of Uncle Tao, who had a childish face.

"Eighty-six up. Uncle Tao said a number without being salty.

"What?" Pang Xiaonan was a little unconvinced, "It's so well maintained, your state, some people believe it when you say that you are in your 50s, except that your hair and beard are a little whiter." ”

"We cultivators look young, besides, immortality is our ultimate pursuit, but this kind of thing can only be left to the natural age. ”

Uncle Tao understands a truth, it is in heaven to make things happen, the mandate of heaven cannot be violated, and if he knows the mandate of heaven at fifty, he has long looked down on life and death.

"Eh, don't you have any family, why don't you eat with us?" Pang Xiaonan finally asked this question that had been bothering him for a long time, he didn't believe that Uncle Tao lived alone in such a big place, and there were no children and grandchildren to accompany him.

"When I was young, I fought and killed, and when I was old, I suddenly understood that all worries were burdens, and people like me, this kind of thinking, don't hurt others, so I haven't started a family. Uncle Tao was very calm and drank the soup by himself.

The two quickly finished this simple meal and continued to go back to the tea room to discuss the grand cause, but the two art teachers were gone, and Uncle Tao could only make tea himself, and then shouted: "Nana, put on a soothing song." ”

"Yes, master!" came a magnetic female voice from an unknown corner.

"Yo, smart speakers, right?" Pang Xiaonan admires Uncle Tao's tide ** god, he is in his eighties, and he knows how to play smart speakers. In fact, it is not surprising at all, after all, Uncle Tao is an old man who studies intelligent robots.

An elegant guzheng song floated out from all around, although Uncle Tao's method of making tea was not as elegant as the tea teacher, but it was very practical, and it didn't take long for the tea to be served in front of Pang Xiaonan.

"Let's continue to talk about the previous question, you don't have children, a lot of things are not easy to handle, do you do everything yourself?" Pang Xiaonan picked up the teacup and looked at Uncle Tao suspiciously.

"I have an adopted daughter. Uncle Tao showed a pleased smile, "That is my former little brother's daughter, he died while doing errands for me, leaving behind this daughter who was less than a year old at the time, so I have always stayed by my side, treating her as my own daughter, and when I grew up, she helped me deal with some gang affairs, which can be regarded as very effective." ”

"You brought someone to beat me this time, why didn't you see her?" Pang Xiaonan suddenly remembered someone, "It's not the one named Suzaku who was punched away by me, right?"

Uncle Tao shook his head and said, "Although my daughter's talent is okay, she can't reach the level of martial arts like Suzaku, and her main task is not to fight and kill, but to coordinate various things, there is no need to cultivate to such a high level." ”

"Since this is the case, then I propose that the intelligent robot company we jointly set up should be managed by her. Pang Xiaonan is worried that there is no suitable candidate.

"Are you relieved that my daughter will manage your company?" Uncle Tao was a little surprised, the teacup paused in mid-air, although Pang Xiaonan had a big mind, but it was a bit unexpected to use the enemy's daughter to manage his own company.

"What's yours and mine, we're a family now. Pang Xiaonan didn't think much about it, and put the teacup on the tea table.

"Hahaha, yes, yes, family. Uncle Tao happily shouted out of the door, "Come in, Tao Hongjing!"
