"Let's take a taxi." Xu Chuxia did some calculations. It was hundreds of kilometers from here to Azure Mountain. Taking a taxi would cost a few hundred yuan, but she couldn't be stingy.
"Let's go to school first. I left my car there," Xiao Chen said.
"Huh? You have a car? " Tian Souring was stunned. Then, she looked at Xiao Chen in surprise. "Why didn't you say so earlier? We had to take the bus yesterday. You should have told me that Chuxia and I would have taken your car!"
"Ahem! Souring, what nonsense are you talking about? Even if I had a car, I wouldn't take it! " Xu Chuxia said, "But we have no choice today. Let's take a seat. Thank you, Xiao Chen."
"Then I'll go get the car. You guys go back and wait for me!" Xiao Chen said.
"Sure. Chuxia, let's go upstairs first. It's too cold outside," Tian Souring said.
"Okay …" Xu Chuxia nodded.
Xiao Chen didn't know that the two of them were going far away. If he had known, he would have brought the car back in the morning. Now, he had to go there at the last minute. However, as a cultivator, Xiao Chen could run fast. He didn't have to wait for the bus. He ran directly to New Moon Academy and drove back to the neighborhood. When he was downstairs, he called Xu Chuxia.
Xu Chuxia's phone rang. Tian Souring's eyes were sharp. She saw the name "Xiao Qiang" on the caller ID and was stunned. "Huh? Chuxia, don't you have Xiao Qiang's phone number? Why did you say so earlier? Are you two having an affair? "
"Huh? Oh … I know. It must have been that day when I met a pickpocket in the car. Xiao Qiang found out, then he took my phone and secretly entered it … "Xu Chuxia explained.
"I see." Tian Souring was just saying it casually. She didn't believe it and picked up the phone. "Xiao Qiang, I'm Sister Souring. Have you arrived?"
"Yes, I'm downstairs. You guys can come down," Xiao Chen said.
"What car?" Tian Souring asked.
"Jetta," Xiao Chen said.
"Huh? I thought it was a Porsche. " Tian Wangchuan was a little depressed when he heard about the car type, but he had already returned the Maserati for maintenance. It was good enough that he still had a car.
The two of them went downstairs. Xu Chuxia didn't think there was anything wrong with the car. She wasn't a materialistic girl. As long as she could sit in a car, it didn't matter.
After getting in the car, Tian Shoushou felt that something was wrong. "Xiao Qiang, has your car been modified? Why was it so comfortable? There's no noise at all, and it's so smooth, without any jolts at all? "
"Yes, I did. I spent the money to buy a Maserati," Xiao Chen said with a smile.
"Really?" Tian Soursou didn't believe it.
"You'll know when we get on the highway." Xiao Chen laughed.
On the other hand, Xu Chuxia believed what Xiao Chen said. Since he was the leader of the Supernatural Investigation Bureau, his car must have been modified to be bulletproof. Also, it should be like in the movies. The car should have some special functions, such as turning into an amphibious vehicle with the press of a button …
He drove the Jetta straight to Shangqing Mountain. In the city, it didn't show much of an advantage. However, once he got on the highway, it was immediately different. Xiao Chen's speed immediately soared to 200 km/h!
"Wow, wow, wow, wow!" Tian Shoushou was a little excited. "Oh my god, it's so fast! It's even better than a sports car? This time, Sister Soursou believes it. You're really a godly car! "
Xu Chuxia frowned. "Xiao Qiang, don't drive so fast. It's too dangerous!"
Xiao Qiang was just showing Tian Shoushou. Very quickly, the speed slowed down to normal. Anyway, this car belonged to the Supernatural Investigation Bureau. No one would stop him, so he didn't mind.
As Xiao Chen's speed slowed down, Tian Shoushou suddenly felt less excited. She chatted with Xu Chuxia casually.
"Chuxia, young people should know how to enjoy life. Racing is fun. It's so boring to drive so slowly!" Tian Shoushou still wanted the feeling just now, so she persuaded, "Sister Soursou likes to chase after the feeling of speed!"
"Nine out of ten accidents are fast. The other one is an accident." Xu Chuxia glared at Tian Shoushou. "Let's race to the arcade!"
"Oh …" Tian Shoushou saw that there was no hope, so she could only give up.
"Oh right, Chuxia, what are you guys doing here? It's winter, there shouldn't be anything fun, right? "Xiao Chen asked with some doubts.
"Sigh, don't mention it. Chuxia wants to go to Shang Qingguan Temple to ask for immortal water to treat her grandmother's rheumatic leg. However, I think it's just a scam. Maybe it's mixed with some rheumatism ointment. Anyway, I don't believe it's that effective. Even those hospitals can't do anything about it. How can Shang Qingguan Temple cure it?" Tian Shoushou was depressed.
"Oh?" Xiao Chen was also slightly taken aback. He didn't expect Xu Chuxia to believe in such things. However, he couldn't say anything, so he could only say, "Some things might be psychotherapy. Moreover, the elderly might believe in this …"
"No, Xiao Qiang, the immortal water here is really useful. As long as I apply it on my grandmother's rheumatic leg, it really won't hurt anymore …" Xu Chuxia said very firmly.
"If that's the case …" Xiao Chen nodded and didn't refute anymore. Anyway, his duty was to protect Xu Chuxia from harm. As for whether she was tricked or not, it didn't have much to do with him.
Xiao Chen nodded and didn't say anything else. He continued to drive, but unexpectedly, Elder Heaven Ancestor said, "Xiao Chen, don't doubt it. There are many capable people in this aristocratic family. Aren't you a cultivator yourself?"
"I'm a cultivator. What does that have to do with that Taoist temple?" Xiao Chen asked with some doubts.
"Cultivation refers to learning the Dao and cultivating one's true self. Discarding the false and retaining the true is called cultivation. Cultivation is also known as immortal cultivation and the cultivation of inner alchemy. Therefore, those true Taoist priests are also cultivators! " Elder Heaven Ancestor continued to say, "Cultivators have existed since ancient times. The earliest can be traced back to the era of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors. The so-called cultivation is just following a certain method to guide external energy into the body and purposefully temper one's body to achieve the goal of far exceeding the physical strength of an ordinary human. "After that, it was Taoism who carried it forward. Since ancient times, there have been more than 80 cultivation sects. Depending on the sect, the cultivation methods are slightly different and ever-changing, but the goal is the same. It's just that most of them have declined since then. I'm not sure if what Xu Chuxia said is true or not, but you are a cultivator yourself. Can you say that this profession is fake?"
"Damn, so there's such a history. It seems like I'm ignorant." Xiao Chen was a little embarrassed. Yes, didn't he often use the Elder Heaven Ancestor's prescription to treat patients?
There was an exit on the highway to Shangqing Mountain. Xiao Chen followed the direction indicated by the GPS and exited the highway. Not long after, a huge mountain appeared in front of him. The mountain peak was shrouded in mist, and it looked like it pierced through the clouds. It made people feel like it was a celestial mountain. It was very beautiful.
Shang Qing Temple was located halfway up Shangqing Mountain. The entire Taoist temple was extremely large. From the foot of the mountain, it looked very grand and imposing.
This made Xiao Chen think of those celestial mountains and Taoist temples in those period movies. On the way, he already knew Xu Chuxia's purpose, so he drove up the mountain. He couldn't help but feel a little emotional. "This Taoist temple is really big … However, when I look closer, it's a little run-down. From what you said, this Taoist temple should be very profitable. Why don't you rebuild it?"
"Such a big Taoist temple and it's an ancient building. Renovating it would cost tens of millions. If there are any complicated places, it would cost hundreds of millions. Even if they wanted to earn money, they would have to think about it." Tian Wangsu said, "But you're right. I heard that this Taoist temple is quite profitable. They specialize in scamming people like Chuxia. Hey, Xiao Qiang, why don't we partner up and invest in one?"
"Pfft …" Xiao Chen was a little speechless. Tian Wangsu's idea was really whimsical.
Xiao Chen's car only drove a third of the way before it couldn't go any further. There was only a rugged mountain road above, and there was a large parking lot here. The other people who came here also parked their cars and walked up the mountain!
What surprised Xiao Chen was that there were quite a lot of cars here. Moreover, many of them were luxury cars. It seemed that this Taoist temple might not be a scam. Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many people.
Of course, he couldn't rule out the possibility that it was a scam. Even Xu Chuxia was attracted to it, so one could imagine! After all, Xiao Chen felt that Xu Chuxia wasn't the kind of person who would trust people easily. From the fact that she wanted to check his ID yesterday, he could tell that she was very vigilant and careful.
The parking spaces here were almost all occupied. Xiao Chen looked for a long time before he finally found a parking space to park. However, he didn't expect that a Land Rover would cut in diagonally, and at a very fast speed, it wanted to occupy that parking space!
The speed of the Land Rover was very domineering. It had no intention of slowing down at all. If Xiao Chen didn't stop and continued to drive to the parking space, he might be hit by the Land Rover before he could reverse his car into the parking space!
This kind of person was actually relying on his arrogance and wishful thinking. He felt that others wouldn't dare to go head-on with them. Moreover, he also felt that his car was big and Xiao Chen's car was small, so he didn't dare to go head-on with him!
However, if he met other people, he might have avoided it. However, Xiao Chen didn't care at all. He didn't speed up and continued to reverse slowly!
"Ahhhhhh!" Tian Wangsu screamed. She also saw the Land Rover that was driving crazily and was shocked.
Xu Chuxia also closed her eyes in fear. She blamed Xiao Chen in her heart. Why couldn't he avoid it? You're from the Supernatural Investigation Bureau, yes, but the other party doesn't know!
The driver of the Land Rover obviously didn't expect the Jetta to not avoid it and continue to reverse into the parking space. This made him a little scared! He had never encountered such a situation before!
