Tianguanzhi

Chapter 96 Welcome to McDonald's

Fu Nanzhi sat on the armchair in the middle hall, one sleeve was empty, and the other hand was flipping through an ancient thread-bound book, occasionally stroking his stubble.
After a long while, the embarrassed Juliet asked cautiously: "Master Fu, is there something difficult? If it's a matter of money..."

Fu Nanzhi waved her hand: "Nothing, Miss Xie, please wait here for a moment."

He walked out of the hall, looked around, suddenly frowned, and said to a young apprentice who was sweeping the floor: "Where is Xiao Xiong?"

"As soon as you walked in the door, he dropped his broom and ran to the backyard."

Fu Nanzhi frowned and ordered, "Go and call Le Mei first."

"Oh."

After a while, Fu Lemei walked in, wearing a new set of clean clothes.

"Dad, do you have something to ask me?"

"There is a female lay Buddhist here. Please give her moxibustion according to the acupuncture method of the Shencong and Yunmen points in the Neijing Sutra."

"it is good."

Fu Lemei agreed immediately, but felt a little strange.

"This skill of electro-moxibustion therapy requires time to hone. Dad, you are an expert in this area. Why don't you give her acupuncture yourself?"

"How can this be possible? Men and women should not touch each other."

Fu Lemei smiled and said, "Shen Cong and Yunmen are just about the head, neck and shoulders. Dad, you are too rigid."

"That won't work either." Fu Nanzhi shook his head. "When your mother was still alive, I promised her that I would not perform acupuncture on any other female Buddhists."

"Got it. I'll go right away."

Fu Lemei asked casually, "What's wrong with that female lay Buddhist?"

"Psychological addiction caused by smoking tincture of opium, and mild mental illness."

……

……

Juliet was flipping through the medical book on the table out of boredom. When she heard footsteps, she quickly turned back to the original page and sat back in her chair pretending nothing had happened.

Fu Lemei walked in carrying a box of needles. When their eyes met and they saw each other's faces, they couldn't help but feel a strange feeling in their hearts.

"You haven't asked for advice yet?"

It was Juliet who came to her senses first and asked with a smile.

"My name is Le Mei, and I'm the daughter of Master Fu. My father asked me to perform moxibustion on you, sir."

"Then I'll trouble you, sister."

Fu Lemei said nothing more and buried her head in organizing her needles. Juliet secretly observed Fu Lemei's figure, her eyes flickering: "I wonder how old my sister is."

"twenty."

"Oh."

Fu Lemei picked up a silver needle and said, "Layman, just relax a little. It won't hurt."

She could see that Juliet had no training, only some yoga skills, and her ECG was around six or seven, slightly stronger than that of ordinary people (ECG and fighting ability are not completely correlated). She was afraid that Juliet would be nervous when she saw the needle, so she spoke to comfort her.

"understood."

Juliet whispered back.

The silver needle in Fu Lemei's hand emitted a firefly-like light, slowly penetrating into Juliet's skin, stimulating her blood vessels and meridians.

Haitang has always emphasized the origin of medicine and martial arts. The practice of using silver needles to pierce acupuncture points to dredge cardiac electricity and regulate qi and blood has a history of thousands of years. Fu Lemei's attainments in this area are certainly not as good as her father Fu Nanzhi's, but she has also learned it at home for more than ten years, and often provides moxibustion treatment for her junior fellow students. With the guidance of medical classics, today's moxibustion is not a difficult thing for her.

After a long time, Juliet, with her eyes closed, let out a long breath and leaned her head unconsciously against Fu Lemei's chest.

Fu Lemei frowned, but didn't say much. Half an hour later, she took out the silver needle and said, "Layman, the Yunmen acupoint is on the shoulder. Please roll up your sleeves."

"I know. Someone has done heart moxibustion on me twice before." Juliet rolled up her sleeves, revealing her jade-like shoulders. "It was he who asked me to come to Master Fu."

Fu Lemei's movement of removing the needle suddenly froze. She stopped talking. Her acupuncture movements were still skillful and gentle, but she was confused. Thinking of her experiences in the past few months, she suddenly felt a little wronged.

"His name is Gu Jianqiu, and he is a friend of Master Nanzhi. Sister, have you met him?"

"Ah."

Fu Lemei responded absentmindedly. She wanted to quit and even thought about escaping from the house.

Juliet rambled on for a long time, and finally said unintentionally: "Jianqiu is a good boy, and he is just like his elder brother, but both of them have bad luck. This time they are sent into exile..."

Fu Lemei didn't hear Juliet's words clearly at first, and it took him a long time to react: "Exile? How could that happen?" "Don't you know? He accidentally killed a kidnapper a few days ago, and then he was involved in some smuggling. The case went straight to the court, and there was no room for mediation, so he was sentenced to five years of exile."

"Why so sudden? You were fine a while ago? Then who are you?"

Fu Lemei was speechless for a moment.

"Me?" Juliet opened her eyes, a complex expression flashing across her delicate features. "I have lived with his eldest brother Gu Xilou for five years. At the beginning of this year, that damned guy promised me to have a wedding, but he died suddenly. Maybe this is fate."

"Where are they now?"

Fu Lemei couldn't help but ask.

"The military police took him away yesterday. He might have already left his home planet."

"Yes, is that so..."

Fu Lemei blinked, finding it hard to accept for a moment.

Juliet tilted her head to look at Fu Lemei, her eyes seemed to be filled with something flowing: "Little sister, some people are like this, they suddenly disappear from your life, as if they will never come back. Think positively, if you are destined to be together, you will meet again. After all, he is not dead, right?"

"Where was he sent to?"

Fu Lemei suddenly remembered that she was about to set out to take the Level I Celestial Official Examination and would have to leave her home planet.

"He is a geological exploration team on the ancient planet of Mars. I don't know the details. I'm afraid I'll have to wait for his letter to find out."

The location of the Level I Celestial Official Examination is on a satellite fortress of the Taibai Ancient Star that belongs to the Doumu Palace. The Taibai Ancient Star and the Yinghuo Ancient Star are the two ancient stars closest to the mother star.

Just one is closer to the sun and the other is farther away from the sun...

Fu Lemei sighed and stopped asking any more questions.

……

……

Above the azure planet, a faint red light spread out in all directions. The bullet-shaped flow-type cabin broke through the flames and docked with the pale divine machine in space, finally heading towards the distant starry sky...

After the violent turbulence, the entire cabin was toppled over, and many people were vomiting on the ground. Gu Jianqiu was also pale, with beads of sweat on his head. He was pressing on the chest of the unconscious embezzler and giving him artificial respiration.

Finally, the embezzler coughed, foamed at the corners of his mouth, and regained consciousness.

"Thank you, thank you."

The corrupt official in his fifties grabbed Gu Jianqiu's wrist and thanked him repeatedly.

Gu Jianqiu nodded and said nothing more.

This was already an extremely smooth launch. Compared to the tragic experience of Gu Jianqiu's first launch in his previous life, this one could be described as a lover's gentle caress.

Usually, the mule cabins used by the Empire to send exiled soldiers are old cabins that have been in service for hundreds of years, and a launch cabin can hold nearly fifty people. After launch, they are captured by special servant ships of the satellite front. The whole process is very rough, and fatal accidents during launch can easily occur. There are even special death indicators. As long as the number of servant deaths per year is within 3%, it is within the normal range and no money is spent on maintenance.

However, the cabin that Gu Jianqiu was riding this time was a standard cabin, which was captured by a Tianbing-model divine machine. Although from Gu Jianqiu's perspective, he could not judge the specific model of the cosmic divine machine he was in.

There are also special medical equipment in the cabin, which is a treatment only enjoyed by regular recruits.

The wounded sergeant was also in the cabin. He observed the twelve mule soldiers in front of him and confirmed that no one had a physiological reaction that would lead to death before speaking:

"My name is Jiao En, and I am the former officer of the Fourth Town of Weihaiwei of the Suanni Sequence Army. I picked the twelve of you from the mule soldiers of the three camps of Liangzhu. No matter what the content of your previous conscription was, from today on, I am your only superior. We will not stop at any frontline fortress, but go directly to the place of service!"

The morale in the cabin was very low. Many people, such as the corrupt official who had just been rescued by Gu Jianqiu, looked embarrassed. After all, he had been a section chief in a local bureaucracy. He had heard about the high death rate of the servants in the Suanni sequence.

"I know what you're thinking."

Jiao En continued, "Now I have good news to tell you. As long as you officially serve in my unit for more than six months, the Empire will pardon all your crimes. You can choose to join the Suanni Army and enjoy the treatment of the Shenji Sequence Army, or you can choose to go home. Of course, the service here refers to the time when you arrive at the destination and officially complete the registration procedures for the servants and soldiers."

Many people's eyes lit up when they heard this, but Gu Jianqiu frowned. He had been a mule soldier in his previous life, and he knew very well how the masters of the imperial military department treated servants. How could he not understand what such unbelievably generous conditions meant?
In fact, he probably had already guessed his group's destination.

Suddenly, Jiao En frowned and answered the radio beside his ear: "What's wrong?"

"What, radio bursts? How long will it take to get through?"

The other party responded: "It seems to have started since we just returned to the home planet. Many of the divine machines that set out from the home planet a few weeks ago are stuck on the road. Now all the divine machines in the orbit of the home planet can't go anywhere. My suggestion is to go to the nearest space station to rest first."

Jiao En was silent for a while: "Okay, then let's go to the space station first and wait until the radio storm is over before setting off again."

Gu Jianqiu looked outside the cabin, and suddenly a white dot lit up in the pitch-black universe. Within a few minutes, the outline of the white dot was very clear. It was composed of two huge cone-shaped transmitters, with a silver-gray sphere in the middle, which was cut into grids of different sizes, with countless golden dots flashing in it. As the Tianbing Shenji got closer and closer, more architectural details of the industrial design came into Gu Jianqiu's eyes. This was obviously a giant commercial space station located in the orbit of the mother planet.

A rhythmic beat echoed in Gu Jianqiu's mind. It was the overture to "Egmont" by the Rose Musician Bonn Vienna.

This is artificial radio, which can transmit information in a vacuum with very little loss, but only creatures with more than twenty electrocardiograms exceeding the human standard can accurately understand its meaning.

"Dear respected celestial officials and brave national sequence soldiers, hello and welcome to the McDonald Commercial Station. Due to a large-scale radio explosion, all routes are blocked. Welcome to this station for a short rest. I wish you a pleasant journey."

The LCD network was filled with light and shadow, and a huge naked blonde woman appeared on the big screen of the space station in a coquettish and seductive manner...
