Nine idlers

Xu Changqing sat on the sofa and played with the two crystal skulls in his hands, absent-mindedly listening to Andy's description of the fierce battle on the beach.Su Chawei, who was also sitting on the sofa at the side, was holding a bottle of brandy, drinking and humming a slang tune, while tirelessly wiping the trophies on various tables repeatedly, his wrinkled face was almost smiling. No eyes.

"Your performance today is very good, much better than I expected." After Andy finished speaking, Xu Changqing praised him, and then pushed the unused Shenxiao Wulei Talisman on the table in front of Andy, Said: "These five thunder talismans are just as rewards, you can keep them for yourself! Just be careful when using them, don't hurt innocent people, after all, you should have seen the power of the five thunder talismans today."

"Thank you, master!" Andy showed his inner happiness without concealment, carefully put the Five Thunder Talisman into the inner pocket of his clothes, and asked him some spellcasting problems encountered during the battle.

After Xu Changqing answered him, he taught Andy some common methods of fighting against the Pure Land Sect, and then asked: "Andy, how are those women doing now?"

Andy said truthfully: "Miss Shen and the others have all returned to their respective cabins. They worked the most today, so they should be very tired."

"Well! You go down! If Shen Qingwen and Catherine come out of the cabin, let them come to see me." Xu Changqing gave an order, and after Andy went out, he turned around and pointed the two crystal skulls in his hand towards Su Chai Wei handed it over and said, "Senior, what's the difference between these two crystal skulls?"

Su Chawei quickly swept the items on the table into a bag, then took the two crystal skulls, and closed his eyes slightly.After feeling it with my heart for a while, I said: "The crystal skull given to Mr. by the three goddesses feels no different from ordinary crystal products, and there is nothing magical about it. As for the other crystal skull, there is a very strong earth spirit in it. The air of the old man is too low to get a glimpse of its whole appearance, but judging from its appearance, it seems a bit like the legendary spirit of the five elements."

"Five elements? You think so too." Xu Changqing took back the crystal skull from Su Chawei, who looked reluctant, and after playing with it for a while, he focused on the crystal skull of the three goddesses.He said coldly: "In this way, it seems that I have also been played by the three goddesses. What they gave me is a piece of trash."

"I don't think so." Su Chawei shook his head and recalled: "Judging from the expressions of the three goddesses when they handed the things to Mr., this thing is by no means as ordinary as imagined, we may not be right method, or this Crystal Skull is missing something."

"Maybe!" Xu Changqing put the two crystal skulls in his sleeves, stood up and walked out, and said: "We are afraid that we will be calm for a while, please take care of Andy more during this time, so that the He should get familiar with the fighting techniques in the cultivation world as soon as possible, although he may not be able to use them in the future. But he should be prepared, he cannot always use my Five Thunder Talisman against the enemy."

After finishing speaking, Xu Changqing left the cabin and walked from the small stairs to the large dining room on the upper floor.At this moment, the passengers on the cruise ship have all returned to the cruise ship from the chaotic city of Aden. They gathered in groups of three or four, stood in the glass window of the big restaurant, looked at the dust storm outside in amazement, and talked about what happened in Aden today. all sorts of weird things.

Since the morning, all kinds of strange things have happened one after another. The first is an earthquake, and then the beach is shrouded in a strange black mist.Then a large sandstorm appeared out of nowhere.These strange events caused an inexplicable panic to spread in the city.In addition, the intensity and duration of this sandstorm are unprecedented, which makes the panic of the people even more intense.Everyone stayed in the house and prayed silently. The originally noisy urban area immediately became silent, as if it had become a dead city.

"Mr. Xu, you are here!" Gu Weijun, who was standing with a group of students from the Republic of China, immediately went up to meet Xu Changqing, looking a little anxious, and said: "Just now I heard from the first officer on the ship that due to the sandstorm, the cruise ship seems to be We need to stay for two more days for repairs."

Xu Changqing and Gu Weijun stood by the window together, looked at the dark dust scene outside the window, and said: "This is normal, the dust all over the sky will affect the operation of the machine, in order to avoid accidents, it is necessary to do some necessary maintenance As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Gu Weijun, who was frowning, and said, "Mr. Gu, is there any other difficulty?"

Gu Weijun heaved a long sigh, was silent for a while, and said: "I just received a telegram that Harvard and Oxford universities in the UK and the University of Paris in France suddenly violated the contract for some reason and refused to allow our students to enroll. Now the government is negotiating with the UK and France. Negotiate." Looking worriedly at the students who were whispering to each other, he said: "They don't know the news yet, and I don't even know how to tell them the news. If the matter is confirmed, I'm afraid that half of the people here will Students will go home disappointed."

"Mr. Gu, do you want me to tell Chen Jingguo, the European director of the Chen family, about this matter? Ask him to use the Chen family's relationship in Europe to help connect universities in Britain and France." Xu Changqing expressed Gu Weijun's intentions in one word. Xin Xin, however, shook his head in his hopeful gaze, and said: "There are some things you have to face on your own, even if it is setbacks and difficulties, after all, this is part of growth, and it is not a good thing to ask for help when encountering problems." He paused, and then said: "Although I won't help you find the Chen family, I can give you some advice. After all, there are many people in Europe who are at odds with Britain and France, whether it is the Austro-Hungarian Empire, or Germany, as long as the conditions are right, I believe they are willing to take in these students. In addition, this is also an opportunity for you, the high-ranking revolutionaries of the Republic of China government, to learn how to negotiate and how to compromise. In this world, our country is just a country that has just stood up the weak."

"Sir, it makes sense." Gu Weijun nodded in agreement at first, and then quickly said with worry: "It's just that it's a bit too much to practice with the prospects and enthusiasm of these students?"

"Not at all." Xu Changqing smiled and pointed to those students, and said, "Let these students know how hard-earned their learning opportunities are, so they will cherish it more and work harder Learning the western knowledge we need, sometimes tempering and embarrassment are also a kind of motivation."
