Avenue Secret

Chapter 7
She didn't reply.

Right.Liu Li thought, it was still a working day, maybe she was working?
No, didn't she say she was on vacation?
Is that because the phone is set to mute, watching a movie, playing a game, or sleeping for beauty?
After opening the game platform, Liu Li checked and confirmed that she was not online.

She has her own life in reality.

Liu Li felt an inexplicable depression, and the good mood of solving the misunderstanding for his friend just now dissipated.

"Let's do business first."

Liu Li opened the search engine, and his main business was naturally not translating the Unknown Taoism.

He wants to determine the origin of the Unknown Taoism!
"According to my previous reasoning, after the client got the scriptures, he did not seek translation from professionals in the industry, but from a friend's translation company. This proves that, first, the client's economic conditions are not good enough to afford professional translation. Second, this Taoist scripture has an incorrect origin and cannot be given to people in the industry who know how to do it.”

"Based on the fact that she came directly to discuss the Daoist scriptures with me, the possibility of one can basically be ruled out, and the possibility of two is very high."

Liu Li entered "Taoist Temple stolen" in the search engine, and selected the time within one year.

Then click on the news one by one.

If he can find tangible evidence of the client's crime, he can directly contact the people at the Taoist Temple and let experts who also possess supernatural abilities deal with him to minimize his own danger.

Maybe, because of this, he can form a good relationship with domestic practitioners or something.

"The merit box was stolen..."

"The incense money was stolen..."

What is this all about!Liu Li was a little crazy, didn't he call the police when the supreme scriptures inherited were stolen?

"Guannei Taoist's girlfriend's underwear mysteriously disappeared...?"

There are too many slots, Liu Li doesn't know how to complain.

After watching for a long time, there is no gain.

"Think about it calmly. If this Taoist scripture is really a supreme scripture inherited by a supernatural force in the country, and it is really stolen, it seems that they really won't call the police."

"Reporting to the police will firstly cause a great blow to reputation and face, and secondly, it will make more 'colleagues' feel robbed, so it will be even more difficult to recover. They should be searching secretly."

"There is another possibility that my thinking is wrong. The supreme scripture that the customer got is not stolen. Is there any other possibility?"

Can't figure it out.

Liu Li simply started translating "Anonymous Taoism", which is his job, and he found that translating Taoism is actually a good way to force himself to study and understand Taoism.

"As it is often said, to judge whether a person understands something, it depends on whether he can explain his understanding to others in an easy-to-understand manner."

Liu Li chose to translate "Crossing the Bridge and Dividing the Lamps to Build the Foundation" first. He believes that this meditation method is the foundation of the entire Taoist scriptures, and he should give priority to deepening his understanding of it.

Then, start looking for information.

Look up proper nouns!Check relevant science!
Fortunately, the text in the PDF document is all simplified Chinese characters, not ancient Chinese characters. If it is an ancient text, Liu Li doesn't even know it.

During the translation process, Liu Li felt that his understanding of Taoism was further deepened.

He even discovered many incongruous places in the Taoist scriptures, obviously showing traces of deletion.

General outline at the beginning.

At the end of Fragment 1, the last part of "Shangyao Sanpin, Essence and Qishen" has been deleted.

In the meditation method of "Crossing the bridge and building the foundation", a paragraph was also deleted. When Liu Li tried to translate it now, he found that the description of "Crossing the bridge" was missing. Behind the "Flume Lighting Lamp".

In Fragment 4, there may also be flaws in the boxing techniques in the Taoist scriptures. Liu Li's aching body after training also illustrates this point.

"Alchemy may also have shortcomings." Liu Li thought: "It's just that I'm not familiar with that part, so I can't see it."

The customer is very scheming!
Even if the scriptures are handed over to a translation outsourcing company that has no understanding of cultivation techniques, passages are intentionally missing.

His two-dimensional avatar and polite tone are completely disguised!

"The word Duqiao is a proper noun of Taoism. It is used to let the 'soul' cross the 'Nai River' and build the 'Gold and Silver Bridge' with mana. The original text even uses Duqiao, adding three points of water, which is intentional." Is it different from Duqiao, or was it changed by the customer himself?"

"Order Cheng Jielin to be the golden bridge, does the order refer to 'mana'?"

"In Taoist theory, sex refers to the life of the spirit, which can be understood as something like the soul, while life refers to the life of the body."

"Then the translation of this sentence is...the body turns into a beetle, and it is used as a golden bridge to cross the Nai River. The spirit turns into a bird, and lights a lamp?"

"Do you want to imagine yourself turning into a beetle or a bird during meditation? This is too weird."

Liu Li thought hard.

Suddenly, he remembered a sentence when the client communicated with him.

... Mesoscale, I understand that human beings and many creatures on land also evolved from fish.But Maoyu still doesn't understand, why not translate it into 'butterfly moth'?
evolution!

"Ming is the 'life of the body', which can refer to the body. The body comes through evolution. Could it be that the mesenchymal scale used here is a metaphor, referring to the gradual return of the body to its ancestors?"

"Many novels have similar settings. It is said that the blood of many ancient beasts is hidden in the DNA of human beings. As long as you unlock the genetic locks that block them, you can gain supreme power. Is that true? Right?"

Liu Li wasn't sure. It would be outrageous for him to practice with a weird and incomplete Taoist scripture. If he also referred to the online novels he had read before, it would be scary to think about it.

While thinking hard, he suddenly understood why the client came to have an interview with him. He also had a lot of questions that he wanted to ask the client, and he couldn't understand many terms of cultivation!
Just as Liu Li was working seriously, the phone vibrated again, it was Guan Feihan's.

"Thank you, brother." Guan Feihan's voice was full of energy, and it was imaginable that he was full of energy.

"I will come back. I have already told the landlord that I don't need to find a new co-tenant, but I will be quarantined on my side for a while, oh yes, she said that she will come to accompany me and meet my parents with me. I I’m so touched, I’ll treat you to dinner when I come back.”

Liu Li was happy in his heart, but he couldn't help feeling a little jealous, so he hung up the phone after a few pleasantries.

"Oh." Liu Li sighed.

He is one year younger than me!

Feeling depressed, Liu Li continued to translate the Wuming Daojing with difficulty.

Duqiao Fendengjianji encountered difficulties in translating, so Liu Li simply went to translate the first recipe, but found that it was not that easy, and he had to keep checking the information.

Make him hungry.

Fortunately, he bought a bunch of snacks before, which came in handy at this time, and he had another meal.

Translating, Liu Li really sprouted the idea of ​​doing it by himself, and started shopping online for glutinous rice flour, japonica rice flour, dried bean paste, black and white sesame seeds, honey, walnuts, jujubes, donkey-hide gelatin...

Big buys.

As for the winter flower wine, this is what surprised Liu Li the most, because he discovered that the winter flower wine recorded in the Taoist scriptures is actually for sale now. He repeatedly checked the raw material method and found one that was closest to the description in the Taoist scriptures. The store, pay directly to buy, not expensive!
Moreover, he also got new information.

"My dear, our Donghua wine has a long history. It is drunk after the winter solstice. It is the top grade of rice wine. The earliest ancestors of the Han Dynasty began to make Donghua wine. Based on the traditional winter wine brewed with sweet-scented osmanthus and glutinous rice, With the addition of a lot of health-preserving herbs, our prescription is ancient and authentic, golden in color, fragrant, light and sweet in taste, soft and soft in taste, can relax tendons, relieve muscle fatigue, and exercise the spleen and lungs..."

This is what the store customer service told Liu Li.

"Donghua wine existed in the Han Dynasty as early as the Han Dynasty. Exercise the spleen and lungs..."

This is in line with the spirit of the Taoist "bait" cultivation technique!
When looking for "bait", Liu Li once read the explanation of traditional Chinese medicine. Some people think that human physical exercise can be divided into exercising the external body muscles, and it can also be divided into exercising the internal organs and metabolic system. The bait training technique is to exercise the body internal organs!

Two facts proved that Liu Li felt that the winter flower wine must be effective, so he bought more.

After shopping, "Very Sweet Snowflake" suddenly replied.

Very Sweet Snowflake: What is so outrageous?
Very sweet snowflake: I was playing escape room with my friends just now, but I didn't see it.

Escape room?When Liu Li saw this word, his heart skipped a beat.

Are you playing with your boyfriend?Liu Li heard that this kind of game can cultivate the relationship between men and women!
Liu Li was vigilant in his heart, but he didn't speak directly, and started typing.

Spring Lightning: The roommate I shared with me was suddenly called by his girlfriend to communicate yesterday. He thought his girlfriend wanted to break up with him, so he drank with me in frustration...

Liu Li told the story briefly, and he hoped that after he said what happened here, the other party could also share the situation on her side.

"Pfft." The very sweet Xue Hua said, "Why is this, isn't she afraid that her boyfriend will leave a thorn in his heart?"

Liu Li said: "At least the ending is perfect."

"Not necessarily." The very sweet Xuehua sent a message: "It is possible that she changed her mind. She originally wanted to break up, but then regretted it. She must know what kind of words will really hurt her boyfriend's heart."

Liu Lishun asked: "It's possible, by the way, how is your escape room?"

"Damn, the third boss of the division took us to play. It's called team building to cultivate feelings and relax. Didn't he think that team building during the holidays would only delay our rest time? But the secret room is still fun, and I'm a little The partner was scared and screamed by the ghost, she played it really well."

"We cleared the customs at the speed of light, and even broke the store's customs clearance record. The third boss even told us that we should play more, which is a loss."

Seeing that it was the company's team building, and her focus was on the speed pass, Liu Li heaved a sigh of relief.

After chatting for a few words, Liu Li told her that if Herring still holds an online party tonight, please help him take a leave of absence, as he has been busy recently.

He has to make perfect preparations for the arrival of customers, which is a matter of life and death.

Afterwards, Liu Li quickly discovered that he could maintain meditation for a very short time. If it exceeded half an hour, his attention would be lost, his mind would be distracted, and there would be no effect at all.

He was not idle either, and began to watch the self-defense instructional videos sent to him by the store selling self-defense umbrellas.

In addition to various small skills, this teaching video actually invited a master who studies sword and shield soldiers to explain footwork, explaining line of sight occlusion, explaining the skills of swinging sticks and so on.

That night.

Liu Li dreamed of that Taoist temple again, this time when the skinny Taoist sang, he sat on the ground and practiced with him.

He found that the effect of practicing Taoism in this way is very good!

Following the "leader", he sang in a low voice, but found that his breath could not keep up, as if his lung capacity was not enough!

When he woke up the next day, his sheets were wet with sweat, and he was thirsty.
