808. The First Test (2-in-1)
"Sit down. Tao Chun sat back behind his desk, "Regarding this party, it was actually held together by a few of our old friends in the early years, and after a long time, more people came, and this party was fixed." Later, many people like to bring disciples or juniors to come, and those of us who are elders will take out some rewards to test the spiritual planting circle of the younger generation this year at the party. Actually, you don't need to worry about anything, it's nothing more than a group of you young people competing for the limelight together. It doesn't matter if you win or lose. ”
Jiutian smiled and nodded, but he couldn't help muttering in his heart, the words were good, not because he had confidence in himself after the test. Although this Tao Chun doesn't like others to talk around the bush, he sometimes hides it. Now that it doesn't matter if you win or lose, why did you say before that you hoped you wouldn't embarrass him?
"This party is not what you might expect, in a palatial hall, with a mix of food and good food. Tao Chun seemed to be very disdainful of this kind of gathering, and laughed contemptuously, "The place of the meeting is not in the city, we found an ancient repair site, and bought it to renovate it, you must use your ability in the spirit plant in the real environment, solve the problem, and set foot on the top of the mountain." The top runners will receive a joint award. ”
Jiutian was slightly stunned, and immediately said keenly: "In other words, it's not just a test of architectural ability, right?"
It was a question, but he was almost certain that it was completely different from his previous guess about the party. He thought that Tao Chun would test his architecture skills because the main content of this gathering would be architecture.
Tao Chun really denied Jiutian's speculation, "The structure is only one of the more important parts, but it is not the whole content of the party. And I don't have enough time to test you on other aspects of the Spirit Plant. You should know that the level of architecture is often a synthesis of the ability of a spirit planter, the ability to identify the spirit plant, the ability to select, the breadth of knowledge, and so on. Your level of architecture is very good, which means that you are not weak in other areas, and that is enough. ”
What about the specific content of the meeting? Jiutian asked again.
"I don't know. Tao Chun was very simple, "The content is different every year, and I haven't been involved in the formulation of the content for several years, so you can't get any information from me, and the problems you encounter need to be solved by yourself." What's the problem?"
It is true that there are many questions that Jiutian can't understand, judging from the nature of this gathering, it is not a simple social gathering, but more like a kind of spiritual planting world, some bigwigs, to the younger generations. Tests and rewards are a means to promote the younger generations. This kind of gathering, he didn't understand why Tao Chun would choose an outsider who had nothing to do with him.
Of course, he didn't ask these words, and he felt that Tao Chun had no intention of explaining them to him. As a former high-ranking person and a saint-level master, this kind of person has his own reasons for doing things. The only thing Jiutian needs to be sure of is whether this matter will put him in some kind of bad situation. But for now, there are no similar signs, but it still seems to be a big opportunity for him.
Eventually, Jiutian shook his head, "I'm fine." ”
Tao Chun nodded, "Okay, since this is the case, the time for the party to start is three days later, and someone will contact you at that time, from the moment the party starts, the test will begin, no one will deliberately let you prepare, I don't want you to even get the ticket to the first level by then." You have good work. ”
Seeing that Tao Chun had the intention of sending off guests, Jiutian said goodbye and left very interestingly.
Back at home, Jiutian summarized the information he had gotten, but found that there didn't seem to be any useful information, he didn't know the location of the meeting, he didn't know the format of the meeting, he didn't know who the participants were, and even the specific start time was a mystery to him.
He even couldn't understand the meaning of Tao Chun's last sentence, "From the moment the party starts, the test will begin", and even the word ticket. In other words, even if there is Tao Chun's recommendation, then there is still a possibility that he can't even enter the door.
"What!" Jiutian scolded in a low voice, rubbing his head helplessly, now he can only catch the ducks on the shelves, one step at a time, he now purely treats this matter as a commission.
Soon, on the day of the party, he got up at eight o'clock in the morning, washed up, and waited in the villa to be contacted, and he seemed to have nothing else to do.
I waited until noon, and Jiutian stared at his phone, wondering if he had forgotten about himself.
Just as he was thinking about it, the communication phone at the gate of the villa suddenly rang. Jiutian was stunned, walked to the door and picked up the phone.
The call was from the security guard at the gate of Green Valley Graceland, saying that a package had just been delivered, and it was necessary to see if Jiutian would come to pick it up in person or find someone to deliver it.
Parcel?
Jiutian didn't remember buying anything online, but he quickly realized that it couldn't be an invitation to a party or something, right?
Hung up the phone, Jiutian Cong went out, rushed to the gate, and then got an ordinary-looking courier box from the security guard, about half an arm's length and size.
Jiutian checked it with his hand, and there was some weight. Obviously it can't be something like a paper invitation. He hurried back to the villa with doubts, and opened the express box he had just gotten as soon as possible.
A cyan wooden board emerges from the inside, with a sentence engraved on it.
"We will leave on time and look forward to your arrival. ”
So, this template should be an invitation to the party. Jiutian stared at the wooden board a little blankly, except for this sentence, there was no information on the location and time of the meeting at all.
Isn't this a cheat? Jiutian was speechless and looked at the plank in his hand back and forth, left and right, and he didn't know why at all.
He now finally understood the meaning of Tao Chun's last sentence, and the test had begun from the moment the party began. Obviously, the first test was now in front of him, according to the plank in front of him, to find the place of departure and the time of departure.
Jiutian was a little blind, and he didn't have any clue at all. It was obviously a gathering of the Lingzhi circle, but now it suddenly looked like a detective reasoning game, which made him not know how to complain for a while.
But no matter what, the most important thing at the moment is to figure out the meaning of this plank as soon as possible, and it would be really embarrassing if you couldn't even get a ticket.
This sentence on the wooden board was revisited several times in Jiutian and determined that this sentence did not mean anything else. Since the focus should not be on this sentence, it can only be on the board itself. Considering the nature of this gathering, this is quite possible.
However, this is still difficult for Jiutian. If it was an existing tree in front of him, he might still be able to make out the name and other information, but now it was just a processed plank, and he had no way of knowing what it was.
After staring at the plank and pondering for a while, Jiutian still couldn't match some of the tree species in his mind with the plank in front of him, so he decided to find another way, which was really not what he was good at. But it doesn't matter, although he doesn't have any research on wood, he is not without such people around him.
Jiutian decisively called Guan Ziping, although the carving level of this rich second generation is average, but he is also a wood carver, and identifying wood is a basic skill.
I don't know what this guy did last night, it took nine days to make a second phone call, and the voice on the other end of the phone was full of the slurred tone of being woken up.
"I'm so sleepy, can you wait until I wake up to see it?" Guan Ziping yawned as he protested.
Jiutian was unmoved, and said calmly: "Then I can only take the gold card to invite others to dinner." ”
After all, he was a foodie, Guan Ziping quickly sobered up under the stimulation of Jin Ka, "Don't, brother, can't I show you......?" Where are we going to eat at night?"
Jiutian almost rolled his eyes to the back of his head, and said speechlessly: "I owe the matter of eating first, I have an urgent matter here, and I will invite you after I am busy, rest assured." As long as you don't make a mistake for me, this meal is yours. ”
"Okay, you open the video. ”
The phone turned into a video call mode, and Jiutian saw that Guan Ziping was still nestled in the bed, staring at the screen with his head exposed against the head of the chicken nest. He presented the plank under the camera so that the tube was flat and easy to observe.
When he was doing business, Guan Ziping was quite serious, and after observing it carefully for a few minutes, he said firmly: "This is Cabernet." ”
"Are you sure?" said Jiutian hesitantly, "I remember that the Cabernet Tree is not orange?"
Guan Ziping quickly adjusted a comfortable posture and rolled his eyes at Jiutian, "Big brother, you also said that it was a Cabernet tree." This is a treated Cabernet plank. This verdant color is the color of the finest Cabernet wood. As if sensing that Jiutian still didn't quite believe it, he added: "You take a knife and cut off some crumbs and smell it, if there is a slightly sour musk, then it will definitely not be wrong." ”
Although Guan Ziping was sure, Jiutian still took a knife and scraped off some wood powder, put it under his nose and sniffed it gently, and sure enough, as Guan Ziping said, there was a slightly sour musk.
It seems that Guan Ziping is right, Jiutian completely believed it, but now that the material of this plank has been determined, he still doesn't know what it means and what kind of information it gives.
He asked Guan Ziping again for advice, and talked about the party in general, anyway, Tao Chun did not ask him to keep it secret, and he did not ask for help from others.
But this time Guan Ziping was blind, he was obviously not a person who likes to use his brain, otherwise he would not have been deceived in the first place, he shrugged his shoulders helplessly at Jiutian, saying that he could not do anything, and he even felt that someone was listening to a prank. Obviously, this is impossible, Tao Chun has nothing to do with such a prank, is it because he has a brain disease?
Guan Ziping lost his use value and was quickly abandoned by Jiutian, and after making an appointment to finish this matter, he invited him to dinner, and then hung up the phone.
Although he was still confused, Jiutian felt that his thinking should not be wrong. Cabernet should be considered an important piece of information.
About the Cabernet wood, Jiutian didn't know much, but he remembered to mention a few words in a certain book he had read, he thanked the development of the Internet, and immediately searched for information about Cabernet wood on the Internet.
When searching for information, Jiutian suddenly discovered that somewhere in the Immortal King City, there was actually a Chixia Park. He didn't know if there was a connection between the two, and he didn't get any useful information from other sources. In line with the principle of preferring to kill by mistake rather than let go, he decided to go to Chixia Park to have a look, maybe there will be something new to discover.
After searching for the address, Jiutian immediately drove with Lao Zheng.
Chixia Park is located somewhere in the Xinjiao District of Xianwang City, and it is not a large park, and the area is not large. However, there are many people who come to hang out. Cabernet is a relatively beautiful wood species, with a tall and straight trunk and lush leaves, showing orange-red, and from a distance, it looks like clouds of glow floating in the air.
Walking into the park, Jiutian immediately walked around the park, but did not find any places where people gathered. But it wasn't for nothing, he saw a few young men who looked about his age, also walking around the park, and they didn't seem to be wandering around idlely, but as if they were looking for something.
Jiutian guessed that they were probably peers like himself who had attended the party this time, and had also received the Cabernet plank, and had come here to find information. However, he did not rush to contact these people, strictly speaking, they are competitors to each other at the moment, if it is not necessary, it is better not to contact them for the time being.
"Don't go any further. ”
Suddenly, a voice interrupted the nine days of contemplation.
Jiutian looked up, I don't know when I had reached the end of this park trail, in front of it was a gate, closed at the moment, with a plaque on it that said Night Firefly Garden.
It should be the park staff who stopped the nine days, an uncle, with an armband on his arm, and said: "Night Firefly Garden is not open today, if you want to visit, wait until today." ”
"Oh, sorry. Jiutian smiled apologetically and turned his head to leave. But suddenly he paused and said, "By the way, big brother, is there a night firefly in the Night Firefly Garden?"
"That's right, what are the night fireflies in the Night Firefly Garden from time to time?" the armband uncle nodded, his tone slightly impatient.
Jiutian suddenly had a thoughtful expression on his face, he remembered that just before he came, when he searched for the information of the Cabernet Wood, he vaguely seemed to see the words of the night fireflies, but he didn't care at that time. But there is a small park of night fireflies in Chixia Park, does this mean that there is any connection between this?
