On the Blue Water Flying Boat, Chen Xuan took out the best tea to entertain everyone. Although the last bit of wild tea he had brought had been given to Xia Ruofei, there was no shortage of good tea on the flying boat.
"Brother Xia, our Tianyi School's business in the secular world is not very big, but we also have an office in the capital. After we arrive in the capital today, I'll take care of the accommodation!" Chen Xuan said with a smile.
Hearing this, Song Wei pursed his lips and said with a smile, "Brother Chen, when we arrive in the capital, it will be Ruofei's territory. Of course, he will take care of the accommodation!"
"Yes!" Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "Otherwise, wouldn't it be a slap in my face?"
Mu Sheng said with a smile, "Isn't Brother Xia's territory in the Three Mountains? How did the capital become your territory? "
Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "Sect Leader Mu, you must be joking. My territory is not my territory, but I have a lot of friends in the capital. In addition, I also bought some properties … By the way, let's stay at my house today! I bought a siheyuan in Liuhai Alley in the capital. The place is quite spacious. "
"A siheyuan?" Liu Mansha said with a smile, "Is it an ancient building? It's quite to my liking! "
"It's not particularly old. It's a building from the Qing Dynasty. It was renovated later," Xia Ruofei said with a smile.
"That's good!" Chen Xuan said, "Then it's settled. We'll stay at Brother Xia's house today!"
Then, Chen Xuan asked again, "By the way, Brother Xia, have you thought about who you can find to coordinate with the Forbidden City?"
Before Xia Ruofei could speak, Song Wei asked curiously, "Ruofei, are you going to the Forbidden City to do something?"
Xia Ruofei explained, "We want to borrow the high-definition scanning equipment of the Forbidden City Museum. Song Rui or Brother Zhao should be able to help us!"
Song Wei said with a smile, "Why do you want to go so far? Ask me for help! "
"You?" Xia Ruofei couldn't help but turn to look at Song Wei. Then, he suddenly realized.
He patted his forehead with a wry smile and said, "I've really gone too far! I almost forgot that you majored in archaeology. You must have a lot of contact with the cultural relics restoration team of the Forbidden City Museum, right? "
Song Wei smiled and nodded.
"Is it okay to borrow their equipment?" Xia Ruofei asked.
"What's the problem?" Song Wei said. "Just leave it to me! When we arrive in Beijing, I'll make a few calls first. As long as they don't need to use equipment to scan the cultural relics, there shouldn't be a problem! "
"Alright!" Xia Ruofei said.
Then, he chuckled and said to Chen Xuan, "Brother Chen, look, the problem is solved …"
Chen Xuan was speechless. It turned out that Xia Ruofei hadn't even thought about who to ask for help. He was just going with whatever he could get!
However, this also showed that borrowing equipment wasn't a big deal in Xia Ruofei's eyes. Chen Xuan was naturally relieved.
Although the flying speed of the Jade Water Airship wasn't as fast as Xia Ruofei's black airship, it only took them an hour to travel from the three mountains to Beijing.
Everyone chatted for a while, and the airship was already close to Beijing.
The Jade Water Airship hovered above a secluded alley near the courtyard house. Everyone jumped off the airship, and then Chen Xuan put away the airship.
Everyone followed Xia Ruofei along the alley for a short distance, and then they arrived at the main entrance of Xia Ruofei's courtyard house.
Liu Mansha and Mu Sheng couldn't help but exclaim when they saw the spacious and bright door.
Although they hadn't experienced the Qing Dynasty at their age, most of their childhood environments were built in this style of architecture. Moreover, these cultivation sects were all ancient buildings, so when they saw this courtyard house, they naturally felt a sense of familiarity.
Xia Ruofei directly unlocked the door with his fingerprint, then turned around and said with a smile, "Everyone, please come in!"
In the side room of the main entrance, there were also security guards who were recruited by Wu Qiang.
After hearing the sound, the veteran walked out of the side room and happened to see Xia Ruofei walking through the door.
The veteran was so scared that he quickly stood at attention and shouted, "Mr. Xia, you're back!"
Xia Ruofei came back very suddenly this time, and he didn't inform them to prepare a room or pick him up at the airport.
However, under the leadership of Wu Qiang, the staff of the courtyard house took care of the place in an orderly manner. Everyone performed their duties and did their best to complete their work, so they weren't afraid of Xia Ruofei's sudden attack. The veteran just felt that it was a bit sudden.
Xia Ruofei nodded with a smile and said, "Tell the kitchen to make a few more dishes. I'm going to invite my friends to dinner tonight. Also … clean up the guest rooms in the middle courtyard. My friends are staying here tonight. "
"Yes! Mr. Xia! "the veteran quickly said.
Xia Ruofei continued to lead everyone inside, and introduced the courtyard house to everyone.
In Beijing, it was rare to see a courtyard house that covered such a large area and was so perfectly restored. Naturally, everyone was full of praise.
After passing through the moon gate, everyone came to the middle courtyard where the master lived.
In the middle of the courtyard, there was a row of three connected rooms, and there were many guest rooms on both sides. It was more than enough for Chen Xuan and the others to stay.
Wu Qiang received the notice from the main entrance and hurried over from the backyard.
"Boss!" Wu Qiang called out respectfully.
Xia Ruofei nodded and said, "Wu Qiang, ask sister-in-law to prepare a few more specialties and move a box of Zui Ba Xian from my wine cellar to the backyard. I'm going to invite my friends to dinner tonight!"
"Yes!" Wu Qiang replied.
"Prepare the car. We should be using it tomorrow morning," Xia Ruofei said again.
It was already afternoon when they set off from Sanshan. At this time, the sky was gradually darkening, so they would have to wait until tomorrow morning to go to the Forbidden City.
Xia Ruofei looked at the people present and said, "There's not enough space in the car. Give Brother Zhao a call and ask him to borrow two commercial cars and two drivers from the club. Drive them here tomorrow morning!"
"Yes!" Wu Qiang replied.
Zhao Yongjun was Wu Qiang's old leader. They usually kept in touch. Moreover, when Xia Ruofei asked to borrow a car, Zhao Yongjun naturally wouldn't say no.
"Well, if there's nothing else, you can go and do your work!" Xia Ruofei said, "Tell all the staff that no one is allowed to enter this courtyard without permission. I have something important to discuss with my friends!"
"Understood!" Wu Qiang said, "Boss, I'll go first!"
Xia Ruofei nodded slightly. Wu Qiang bowed to everyone and then quietly left the courtyard, closing the door to the backyard.
Song Wei went to the side to call his friends in the cultural relics restoration team of the Forbidden City Museum, while Xia Ruofei personally led everyone to assign the rooms.
There were plenty of rooms here, so everyone chose a guest room.
Then, Xia Ruofei took everyone to his master room.
The middle room and the right room of the master room were completely connected. It was basically an open space. Usually, it was very good to entertain friends here. Even a small party was no problem at all.
After everyone was seated, Xia Ruofei took out the tea leaves from the space and skillfully began to make tea.
At this time, Song Wei came in with a mobile phone in his hand and said with a smile, "Everything has been arranged. Tomorrow morning from nine to ten o 'clock, all the equipment will be available to us. Is there enough time?"
"Yes!" Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "It's just scanning such a small thing! Thank you for your hard work, Weiwei! Sit down and have some tea! "
Everyone sat around the tea table. Chen Xuan put down the token in his hand and placed it on the tea table.
Xia Ruofei couldn't help but pick up the token and carefully look at the floating points on it, especially the floating points where the black dots repeated. However, he couldn't figure out anything even after racking his brains!
He also knew that it was not easy to achieve any results in such a short period of time. Otherwise, those experts of the ancient cultivation world would not be at their wits' end. Wasn't the reason why the Rising Dragon Order could become an unsolved case in the ancient cultivation world because it was difficult to solve?
It seemed that he could only pin his hopes on a supercomputer, Xia Ruofei thought to himself.
After dinner, everyone went back to their rooms.
For cultivators, it didn't matter whether they slept or not. Everyone went back to their rooms to meditate and cultivate. Chen Xuan, Liu Mansha, and the others were all important figures in the cultivation world. They still had some cultivation resources like spirit crystals.
Song Wei and Ling Qingxue were embarrassed to share a room with Xia Ruofei in front of so many people, so they also stayed in the guest room. However, the two of them stayed in the same room.
Seeing that Xia Ruofei's two cultivation partners were so close, Chen Xuan couldn't help but give Xia Ruofei a thumbs up.
Everyone went back to their rooms. There was still one problem, and that was the token.
In the end, Xia Ruofei suggested that he give it a try. Then, he used about 80% of his strength to bombard the token. Immediately, it divided into five separate small tokens.
Chen Xuan and the others were shocked. When they saw that the familiar "Five Saints Token" was not damaged in the slightest, and when they were put together, they immediately formed the Eight Trigrams Token. Only then did they relax.
Then, Chen Xuan tried again. He hit the token with all his strength and successfully divided it.
Everyone took their tokens and went back to their rooms to meditate and cultivate.
The next morning, after breakfast in the backyard, they were ready to get in the car and go to the Forbidden City Museum. The two commercial cars sent by Zhao Yongjun had arrived at the courtyard at dawn and were parked in the backyard.
Xia Ruofei saw Chen Xuan coming over with his mobile phone. He must have just finished a call. He couldn't help but ask curiously, "Brother Chen, who did you call so early in the morning?"
Chen Xuan said, "Oh … I called the company and asked for two more days off. I only asked for one day off yesterday …"
Xia Ruofei didn't know whether to laugh or cry. After a while, he said, "I'm impressed …"
Xia Ruofei's Alfa commercial car took the lead, followed by the other two Mercedes-Benz commercial cars. The three cars drove out of the courtyard in a single file and headed in the direction of the Forbidden City Museum.
During the morning rush hour, the road was very congested, and the cars stopped and went.
However, Xia Ruofei and the others were not in a hurry. Anyway, they could get there before nine o 'clock in the morning.
From the courtyard of Liuhai Lane to the Forbidden City Museum, there was a total of four or five kilometers. If there was no traffic jam, ten minutes would be enough. But today, they drove for forty or fifty minutes.
Under the guidance of Song Wei, the car drove to a small parking lot on the side of the Forbidden City. This was a parking lot for employees. The person who Song Wei contacted was already waiting there.
The man was about fifty years old. He wore a pair of glasses and blue overalls. He looked like a worker who had just come out of the workshop.
After Song Wei's introduction, Xia Ruofei knew that the man dressed as an old worker in front of him was actually a well-known expert in the restoration of cultural relics in the country.
The old expert's name was Luo Gang. He had been an apprentice in the Forbidden City Museum since he was a teenager. He had been working in the red wall for decades and had restored countless cultural relics.
Luo Gang was very enthusiastic. After exchanging a few words with Song Wei, he led everyone inside.
Their workplace was an area that was not open to tourists. Xia Ruofei had visited the Forbidden City Museum before, but she had never been to these places, so she looked around curiously.
After passing through a narrow passage, they came to the small courtyard where the set of high-definition scanning equipment was located.
Luo Gang said with a smile, "This was a cold palace in the Qing Dynasty. It was usually gloomy. Only people like us who work here all year round are used to it. Ordinary people will feel creepy when they come in!"
Xia Ruofei felt it and found that the temperature was indeed lower than outside. He couldn't help but smile and say, "Mr. Luo, this is a good place! You don't even need to turn on the air conditioner in summer! "
Luo Gang laughed and said, "I really don't turn on the air conditioner much!"
Xia Ruofei and the others arrived a little earlier. It was not time for work yet, so it was even quieter.
Luo Gang walked to the door of the small courtyard and shouted a few words. Then, he opened the door with a clang.
As he unlocked the door, he explained with a smile, "When we open the door for the first time every day, we deliberately make some noise to tell them that we are here for work and that they can get off work …"
Hearing this, Ling Qingxue asked curiously, "Them? Who? "
Song Wei pursed his lips and smiled. He leaned over to Ling Qingxue and whispered in her ear, "The ghosts of the palace maids, eunuchs, and concubines who died in the cold palace! Too many people have died in this place! "
Ling Qingxue couldn't help but shiver and say, "Stop talking! Stop talking … "
Xia Ruofei couldn't help but find it funny that Ling Qingxue, as a cultivator, was afraid of these illusory things. He said, "Qingxue, Weiwei is just trying to scare you!"
Luo Gang said with a smile, "Miss, ghosts and gods exist if you believe in them, and if you don't, they don't exist! This is also a tradition left behind by the old masters for many years, so we have always done it this way. Moreover, there are many wild cats in the Forbidden City. We want to scare them away by making some noise … "
As they spoke, the courtyard door opened. Luo Gang said with a smile, "The equipment is in the east room. Please come in!"
