Chapter 234 If seven days don't pass, everything will be fine (asking for monthly tickets~)
After getting off the yacht, Xiao Chen took out a car key and drove Du Ruo to the airport. After sending Du Ruo to the security check and giving her a plane ticket, Xiao Chen left directly.
"Hello, what are these?"
During the security check, all the documents and air tickets were fine, but the iron box on Du Ruo and the ancient books inside were intercepted.
Those medicines were too sensitive to be brought on the plane, but it was okay to bring these ancient books, so Du Ruo carried them with him.
However, the iron box containing these books that were obviously not modern still aroused the suspicion of the security personnel.
"A book. The flight is too long. I read a book to relieve my boredom. Is that okay?"
Du Ruo spoke with confidence and even asked a question in return.
"No problem, but why is it in a metal box? What is this box used for?"
The security officer was a very fat black woman. Not only did she keep looking at Du Ruo with a scrutinizing gaze, she even rudely flipped through the ancient book and the obviously damaged recipe inside.
Du Ruo frowned at this scene, but he didn't want to cause any more trouble. He just stared at the woman and said in a bad tone:
"Because the ancient books record Eastern witchcraft, we regard it as an ominous sign, so we usually need to keep it in an iron box."
"Oh damn, you can take it now, hurry up!!."
When the woman heard this, she quickly stuffed the book back into the iron box, and then did not dare to touch it again, and signaled Du Ruo to take the book away.
"It's okay. Generally speaking, if you don't die within seven days after touching it, then you'll be fine."
Du Ruo stretched out his hand and patted the woman's fat shoulder gently, as if to comfort her. After that, he packed the ancient books in an iron box and went to the waiting room.
Originally, Du Ruo had plenty of time, but after being delayed by these people, he became a little rushed.
Fortunately, Du Ruo did not miss the time and boarded the plane in the last few minutes.
During the more than ten hours on the plane, Du Ruo still did not dare to be careless, but he was no longer as nervous and alert.
Taking advantage of this time, Du Ruo carefully read the ancient books and pill recipes. If nothing else, at least he remembered them.
And to be honest, he was quite interested in the Virgin Sect's mental methods.
However, as he watched, Du Ruo couldn't help but frown.
To be honest, the mental method recorded in classical Chinese, without punctuation marks, is really difficult to read.
Not to mention ordinary people, even someone like Du Ruo who is considered a martial arts master couldn't help but frown when he saw it.
There were no annotations and it was written in classical Chinese. Even though there were small spaces between each sentence, Du Ruo still felt overwhelmed.
Practicing martial arts is a very cautious matter, and unique skills recorded in books like this one contain a lot of things.
For example, some very simple things are made confusing in these secret books, and a bunch of other things are involved, making them difficult to understand.
Sometimes, in an entire article of dozens of words, there may be only one or two useful words.
So after reading it carefully, Du Ruo gave up the idea of understanding it directly. There was still enough time anyway, so he might as well wait until he calmed down and slowly study the specific methods of moving qi. After all, there were quite a few pictures in it. He could combine them and experiment a few more times, and there should be no problem.
This is the case with many martial arts schools. Usually, secret manuals are only auxiliary, and some skills need to be passed down orally from elders, or the secret manuals need to be explained before they can be passed down. This is also the reason why many kung fu, boxing and training methods have been passed down, but the mental methods have been lost.
If these mental skills were given to other people, even if they studied them for a lifetime, they would probably not be able to figure out the tricks behind them. They would either not be able to practice them at all, or they would practice them incorrectly.
However, these are not problems for Du Ruo. He has enough knowledge of martial arts and a high enough level of attainment. He is not afraid of not being able to understand, nor is he afraid of getting a stitch in the side. He will know whether it works or not once he tries.
So Du Ruo studied the secret book of mental skills for a while and then gave up temporarily.
He took the pill recipes and read them with great interest.
However, there was a problem facing Du Ruo. It was not that there was any sulfur, lead or the like in the elixir recipe. These elixir recipes were not for immortality, and there was nothing mysterious in them.
Instead, they are some recipes for replenishing qi, nourishing blood, strengthening the spirit, satisfying hunger, and some that assist in qi training. However, the medicinal materials in them are difficult to obtain nowadays. They are either under protection or are on the verge of extinction. It is difficult for ordinary people to collect a complete set, let alone take them for a long time.
"I don't know how the Hill family managed to create such a monster out of these pill recipes."
After Du Ruo finished reading it all and memorized it in his mind, he murmured this.
He still had some vivid memories of the condition of those people outside the castle, the kind that caused their bodies to mutate, as if all their infinite potential had been stimulated, and even their vitality had been strengthened for a short period of time.
Even with his head smashed, he was still able to restrain Du Ruo relying solely on his body's instincts.
Even if these people only appeared briefly, it was enough for Du Ruo to remember them clearly.
Ordinary people can do this, so if he ate or injected it...
Du Ruo didn't even dare to imagine it. Of course, he didn't need to do that. After practicing Hunyuan Qigong, he could perfectly control the "essence, energy and spirit" of his body. Theoretically, he could also burn the "essence, energy and spirit" to instantly burst out unimaginable combat power.
Time passed by every second, and the time on the way back was even more torturous. When we set off for Los Angeles, the people on the plane were relatively quiet, but the plane to the Magic City seemed a bit noisy.
There was a child also on the flight. The child was still young and kept crying on the plane. Although his parents kept comforting him and apologizing to everyone, it had little effect. In the end, everyone in the cabin became a little restless, but unable to vent.
Fortunately, the child may have gotten tired of crying and finally the cabin became quiet, but by then, the plane was already ready to land.
After getting off the plane, Du Ruo hadn't decided whether to go back directly or not, when he walked out of the airport reception area, he saw a familiar person. "Mr. Hao, this way~"
It was the same young man who had sent Du Ruo to the airport. When he saw Du Ruo in disguise, he smiled and waved.
Seeing this, Du Ruo didn't hesitate and walked over.
Seeing that Du Ruo didn’t have a suitcase, the young man nodded, then led the way to the parking lot.
There was no conversation along the way, and the young man took Du Ruo to a familiar community.
"Welcome back, Mr. Du."
It was still the familiar room. The young man opened the door, smiled and said something, inviting Du Ruo in, but he no longer called him "Mr. Hao".
"Well, it's still comfortable to be back."
Du Ruo came into the room and wiped his face a few times.
With a sound of crackling, the powder fell all over the floor, and Du Ruo's original appearance was restored. However, the 502 glue could not stick to Du Ruo's skin at all.
"All your things are here. Apart from charging your phone today, nothing else has been touched. Please check it."
The young man took out a bag and handed it to Du Ruo. The bag contained all of Du Ruo's belongings.
"Well, I'll leave these to you."
Du Ruo changed her clothes, put on the coiled dragon ribbon and tied the belt around her waist. She also handed over the clothes she was wearing and her ID to the other party.
"Okay, Mr. Du, you don't have to speak with a hoarse voice. You don't have to pretend now."
The young man smiled, thinking that Du Ruo was still pretending, and couldn't help but remind him.
"I wasn't pretending. I just yelled when I was outside and became hoarse."
Du Ruo glanced at the young man, then turned on his phone, ignoring the junk messages on it and just sent a message to Xiang Yuanyuan to report that he was safe. After seeing Xiang Yuanyuan's reply of "hmm", Du Ruo started to get down to business.
He turned on the camera and carefully photographed the contents of the ancient book page by page.
Seeing this, the young man smiled awkwardly, then turned his back to Du Ruo without even looking at the ancient book.
"Let's go, it's ok, do I need this for you?"
After finishing everything, Du Ruo shook the iron box.
"Um, you don't have to give it to me directly. I'll just mark it. Someone will come to pick up Mr. Du soon. You just wait and see how it goes."
The young man smiled, then carefully took out an envelope, took out a seal from the envelope, and put the seal on the iron box in front of Du Ruo.
"Haha, in that case, I won't be polite."
Du Ruo smiled, put the iron box in a bag, and looked outside the door. He had heard familiar footsteps.
"Then I'll see Mr. Du off."
The young man saw Du Ruo was about to leave and opened the door.
After opening the door, it was Li Yu standing outside, but Du Ruo was not surprised at all and followed him towards the elevator.
"By the way, the tuna that Mr. Du caught this time will be delivered to your door tomorrow morning."
After Du Ruo got on the elevator, the young man quickly said something.
"Okay, thank you very much."
Du Ruo nodded and a smile appeared on his face. He didn't expect that the other party would actually write down and implement what he said casually.
Still driving the familiar red Mercedes, Li Yu drove Du Ruo to the familiar western-style building.
But this time He Feng was standing at the door waiting for Du Ruo.
"Mr. Du, you have worked hard. We have prepared the wine and food. The food outside may not be so tasty. Let's eat first."
When He Feng saw the car stop, he opened the door himself and let Du Ruoying get out, with a smile on his face.
"Okay, I'm welcome then, but I'll have to trouble Mr. He to book me a return ticket. I'll leave after dinner."
Du Ruo didn't refuse. He said something and then went into the house carrying the plastic bag.
"No problem, but it would be a shame if Mr. Du didn't stay in the Magic City for a few more days."
He Feng welcomed Du Ruo in. It was already past eight o'clock in the evening.
As soon as he entered, he found that the dinner had indeed been arranged. Du Ruo did not hesitate. After He Feng toasted him with a glass of wine, he started eating. At the same time, he put the plastic bag in his hand on the table, but he just ate without saying a word.
