Chapter 24 Zhang Zhai

In order to facilitate transportation, Zhang Jing asked the driver to drive directly into the backyard from the side door of the house, and then the two of them moved a total of six cartons directly to the main house.After that, Zhang Jing settled the fare with the driver.

Watching the car leave, Zhang Jing suddenly had the idea of ​​buying a car.In his previous life, he was an experienced driver with more than ten years of driving experience. He had observed that although the vehicles in this world are electric and their operation methods are different from the gasoline-powered vehicles in his previous life, the general operations are still the same.

Generally speaking, due to more advanced artificial intelligence-assisted driving technology and the simple structure of electric vehicles, vehicle operation in this world is actually much simpler than that of gasoline vehicles.

Having his own car would make commuting much more convenient. Zhang Jing was thinking that he would first find a driving training class to collect enough points, and then take the driver's license test.

Returning to the main house, Zhang Jing began to sort out the cardboard boxes he had moved, taking out the contents into categories and placing them in his new home.Zhang Jing moved his bedding to the master bedroom of the main house. At the same time, he also put all the books he brought in the study room of the main house. From now on, this is where he will study and surf the Internet.

It must be said that this house is quite spacious. According to Zhang Jing's visual inspection, the main room alone is more than 100 square meters, divided into three bedrooms, living room, and study room, and the total construction area is more than 600 square meters. Such a house If it were placed in Zhang Jing's previous life, it would undoubtedly be called a mansion.

In today's world, perhaps because the rapid development of the space industry has attracted too much capital, the real estate industry has not become the country's pillar industry and a reservoir of capital. Long-term stable housing prices have also made real estate speculation less attractive. living space.Therefore, housing prices in this world are much lower than those in Zhang Jing's previous life.

Even so, such a house is not something that ordinary families can own.

At this moment, his cell phone rang, and when he saw the caller ID, the corners of Zhang Jing's mouth curled up slightly.The caller was his childhood sweetheart Wang Tao, who was also his best friend. The two had been classmates from elementary school to high school and were inseparable. Now they were also making a living in the same city.

"Hey, Taozi."

"Hey, Ajing, I have good news for you. My internship period is finally over!" An excited voice came from the other side of the phone.

"Tell me, why are you calling me when you are free at work?" Zhang Jing smiled and said, "So, you are finally out of the sea of ​​misery and are about to become a corrupt police officer?"

"How can I? I just became a little policeman." A slightly unnatural voice came from the other side: "I just completed the evaluation process and now I'm waiting for assignment."

After that, he seemed to notice something and said again: "Jing, it's rare that you are in a good mood. Tell me, what good things happened to you?"

Zhang Jing naturally knew that Wang Tao was talking about his original self who was in "heavy debt" with student loans before he traveled through time. Naturally, his mood every day was not that good.

"I've moved. I'm just cleaning up the room. I'll send you the location. Come back and identify the door."

"Okay, Ajing, I'll come over after get off work and I just want to have sex with you."

"Then see you later."

"See you later!"

........................

After hanging up the phone with Wang Tao, Zhang Jing thought for a moment and then sent a message to his uncle in his hometown on Qianluo to inform them of his move.Since his parents passed away, his uncle has given him a lot of help and is one of the few relatives he still keeps in touch with.My uncle quickly replied to the message and expressed congratulations in a very happy tone.Zhang Jing said a few more words of safety before ending the conversation.

After thinking about it again, Zhang Jing couldn't think of anyone else who could be informed. He couldn't help but shook his head and continued to tidy up the room.

The room was almost tidied up. Zhang Jing looked at the time and saw that it was almost noon, so he ordered another sumptuous takeaway.While waiting for the takeout, he opened the "Yigou.com" APP and prepared to buy some things.

Speaking of which, there are quite a lot of things to buy. First of all, since the screen of his mobile phone was cracked in the subsidence last time, he has not had time to repair it. Considering his current financial conditions, Zhang Jing decided to simply replace it. A better phone.

He set his sights on the "Star 3" mobile phone developed by Genesis Group. Genesis Group is an emerging technology giant that started in the aerospace business. Due to business logic, it now operates in multiple locations. Its subsidiary Genesis Electronics Company, which specializes in consumer electronics, has recently The market share has been on the rise for several years.Its product development concept of "exploration, creation, and dreaming" is very popular among social elites, especially the younger generation.

The mobile phone that Zhang Jing likes has a flexible and deformable design. It can be used as a bracelet on the arm. In this state, simple operations can also be performed. There is no need to take it off even when connecting to the phone. You only need to wear the bracelet. You can answer calls through the principle of bone conduction by lightly touching your chin with your finger, and you don’t have to worry about privacy issues.

In addition, when there is a need for a larger screen, the phone can also gradually expand the screen through multi-layer folding functions, and can be opened up to a 7-inch screen. If this is not enough, the phone also has a laser projection function that can project the screen It can project up to a 12-inch light screen into the air above the mobile phone. However, the clarity of this mode is slightly worse than the screen mode, and the power consumption will also increase.

This mobile phone bills itself as "the mobile phone of the interstellar era" and claims to be able to adapt to the harsh usage requirements in the space environment, which is why Zhang Jing finally decided to place an order.

In addition, Zhang Jing also chose a Kunlun Company's "Xingxiu Series. Zhuque" notebook computer, which is a notebook computer with a 12-inch display screen and a separate screen and keyboard design. The screen can be removed separately and used as a tablet computer.It has the most advanced configuration at present, and its durable design also has a high reputation among players.

After all, Zhang Jing is still accustomed to using computers to deal with problems in many aspects of his daily life due to his habits in his previous life.However, you get what you pay for. These two electronic products cost Zhang Jing nearly 8000 yuan.

Finally, Zhang Jing also bought a mahogany door plate with the word "Zhang Zhai" engraved on it online, and planned to hang it at the door of his home after it arrived. This is also a tradition in this world.

After lunch, Zhang Jing went to Lishan Dongtian again through the Dongtian Jade Tablet in the afternoon and started today's practice.The effect of today's practice is very good, similar to the effect of Zhang Jing's first practice. At this point, Zhang Jing has probably judged that the effect of practice in Dongtian should indeed be much better than that of the real world, and the gap should be Calculated in multiples.Of course, Zhang Jing is still planning to continue observing this issue for a while, and presumably the conclusion will be more accurate by then.

After completing today's practice, Zhang Jing focused his main energy on sorting out the materials in the Sutra Collection Hall. This will also be one of his most important tasks in the future.

Chapter 25 Cleaning up the Sutra Collection Hall

After preliminary inspection, he had already made a rough judgment. As far as the architectural structure of the Sutra Collection Hall is concerned, except for the first and second floors of this building, which are relatively intact, the upper floors have completely collapsed. Then scattered among the ruins.After that, Zhang Jing will collect them as much as possible. However, as for the specifics, he can only say to do his best and obey fate.

As for the relatively intact first and second floors, the situation is not optimistic. After Zhang Jing's investigation, it was found that both floors had suffered damage to varying degrees. With the current remains of the furnishings and the several dead bodies lying in the middle, the situation was not optimistic. Skeleton speculated that there might have been a fierce battle.

In addition, due to the collapse of the third floor, the ceiling of the second floor was damaged and was actually left in the open air. Therefore, the data storage environment was much worse than that on the first floor.Therefore, although there are well-preserved bookshelves like those on the first floor, the stored classics have more serious signs of weathering and erosion. How many of them can actually be read needs to be examined to draw a conclusion. However, according to the current situation, Come, it will definitely be worse than the situation on the first floor.

In order to organize it better, he prepared a notebook and some sticky notes to prepare a file for these materials.

At the same time, he was temporarily preparing to clear out part of the first floor of the Sutra Collection Hall. At the same time, he moved several bookshelves that had collapsed but still had intact structures and rearranged them as a place to store usable classics, especially those stored in the open air on the second floor. He planned to identify the classics first and then move them over for storage.

Of course, in his thinking, this is a temporary solution, and he will have to carefully plan how to arrange it in the future.

When he was busy working until the evening, Zhang Jing looked at his watch and figured that Wang Tao would be getting off work soon, so he stopped.

After about two hours of busy work, Zhang Jing has cleared a corner of the first floor of the Sutra Collection Hall and put it on a bookshelf. At the same time, he has also completed some work of identifying materials.

Zhang Jing discovered that after completing the foundation building, he could now use his spiritual thoughts to check whether a magic treasure has expired. This is just like reading a book. You can choose to read only the beginning and then close the book.However, if you want to read a Dharma Tibetan completely, you will need to consume a lot of spiritual energy.

Looking at the inspected Dharma Tibetan stored on the bookshelf, with a sticky note with translated text attached underneath, Zhang Jing still felt quite satisfied.

In addition to sorting out the information, Zhang Jing also found a Dharma collection suitable for his current situation. This jade guide called "The Record of Biographies" should have been recorded by a senior of the Lishan Sect for his disciples. It describes Li The key points and precautions in the first four stages of mountain sect practice are respectively the four stages of foundation building, reincarnation, night travel, and alchemy. Among them, there is a lot of experience from him as a person who has been there, which makes Zhang Jing feel that he has benefited a lot after learning it. .At the same time, I also have a general understanding of the future direction of practice.

Originally, he wanted to spend some time in the Sutra Collection Hall, but seeing that it was already evening, Zhang Jing decided to return to the real world first considering his date in the evening.

"Ah Jin, are you... selling rainbow pills?" Wang Tao is a young man with a baby face, slightly fatter and slightly shorter than Zhang Jing. He has not closed the door since he walked into Zhang Jing's house. Mouth.

"How can that be possible? It's not like you don't know that those bad guys who sell Rainbow Pills, how much money can they really keep?" Zhang Jing said with a smile. The Rainbow Pills in their mouths are a new chemical agent in this world, so Its addictive nature has been listed as a contraband in most countries around the world. However, you can still buy some high-priced goods from questionable sources in some underground channels.

"That's true..." Wang Tao touched his chin and said with some confusion: "Then A Jin, is this... could it be that you finally recognized your ancestor and returned to the clan?"

Seeing the unhappy expression on Zhang Jing's face, he hurriedly said: "That's what I said. With your stubborn temper, I beg you not to go back..."

"Okay, stop guessing. I made a small program and sold it for a sum of money. It happened that the old landlord of this house passed away and the house was cheap to rent, so it just happened." Zhang Jing found a reason. , he knew that his friend graduated from the police academy and knew nothing about programming, and he studied network engineering in college, so he was not afraid of being outed.

"Are you so powerful?" In this world, due to the rapid development of science and technology, there are many new technology upstarts who have become rich overnight. They are often seen in various media. Wang Tao did not doubt that he was there, but happily patted his friend on the shoulder: "Ah Jin, you are trying to change things! If I had known that doing programming was so profitable, I would not have gone to the police academy."

"It's not that easy. I'm just lucky." Zhang Jing said, "You policemen don't have to worry about food and drink. Not many people would envy you."

Zhang Jing knew that his parents had tried their best to get Wang Tao into the police academy.You know, although most of the police are so-called affairs officers, which are generally called "officials", it is no longer hundreds of years ago. It is possible for an affairs officer to become a political officer. You know, that is a real class. of officials.

Moreover, even if they are unable to transfer to another official position in the end, as a position where they receive royal salary, although the police's salary is not much higher than that of the ordinary middle class, their hidden income has always been enviable. This is already an open secret.

"I didn't know until I got there that it's not as glamorous as it looks..." Wang Tao sighed: "The disciplined force is a place where seniority is judged. Newcomers have no human rights." As he said that, he touched his head. There was a beautiful Zhang Jing still remembered that his friend had short hair like him before.

"Have you tied your hair?"

"Wouldn't this look more stylish?" Wang Tao was a little embarrassed: "All the big guys in the police force have their hair tied up. My parents also said that it looks more dignified."

"Don't say it, this is pretty good." Zhang Jing nodded. The Dazhao of this world has been known as the crown kingdom since ancient times. It has not experienced foreign rule and hundreds of years of humiliation like in the previous life. Therefore, in terms of hairstyle, it seems to be a combination of Chinese and Western styles. .

According to Zhang Jing's observation, the upper class in Dazhao generally admired the so-called morale, especially the several chief and assistant ministers who were all three generations in words.As the saying goes, what is good at the top will be bad at the bottom. The political atmosphere can be seen from the fashion of hair accessories.

"By the way, do you have an idea of ​​what you assigned?" Zhang Jing took Wang Tao around several rooms and then took him back to the inner courtyard.

"The internship period has just ended, and there is no definite news yet." Wang Tao shook his head, and said to Zhang Jing in a sneaky manner: "Do you still remember the beautiful superintendent I told you last time?"

"Is that the young superintendent in the entire police force that you mentioned, the one with long legs who must have a background?"

"Yes, that's the one. It is said that it is possible to arrange for me to work with her."

"That's not what you want, Taozi. Now's your chance to show off..."

"Ha ha ha ha……"

"Come on, I noticed before that there is a lobster restaurant next to here. Let's go have a meal. I wish you a happy return."

........................

Chapter 26 Listen, the sound of knocking in the middle of the night...

At night, Zhang Jing had a happy dinner and drank some wine before going to bed early to rest. This was his first night since moving into his new home.

There was no longer that vague musty smell in the bedroom, nor was there that lingering weird smell of decaying garbage in the air of the slums.The air is fresh, the surroundings are silent, and occasionally there are rhythmic chirping sounds from the grass. This familiar but unfamiliar environment makes Zhang Jing have the illusion that he has returned to his previous home.

I don't know what's going on with my relatives now... I breathed a sigh of relief in my heart, hoping that there would be another me in that world who could still live a normal life.

"Tuk...tuk...tuk...tuk..." Just as he closed his eyes and was about to fall asleep, a rhythmic knocking sound suddenly came from outside the window.

"Huh?" Zhang Jing turned over and sat up on the bed, listening attentively.

"Tuk...tuk...tuk..." Another rhythmic knock sounded.

Ever since he started practicing, Zhang Jing's five senses have been much stronger than those of ordinary people.

It's the sound coming from the front yard!He was certain that he had not made a mistake, and he was certain that he had locked the door before.

So, what is this sound?

Could it be a thief? !

"Tuk...tuk...tuk..." The unhurried voice continued.

The remaining alcoholism disappeared in an instant. Zhang Jing turned over and sat up, picked up the pants beside the bed and put them on, and appeared at the front door barefoot and lightly.

Tensing his hands, he gently opened the door. Zhang Jing stepped on his usual running shoes and took a look at the inner courtyard under the moonlight.

There was nothing unusual in the inner courtyard. A breeze blew by, causing the leaves of the osmanthus branches in the courtyard to sway slightly.

"Tuk...tuk..."

Zhang Jing jumped across the inner courtyard as nimbly as a spiritual ape, looking for the sound and arriving at the Hanging Flower Gate.Crossing the hanging flower gate, he clearly saw a figure wearing a Confucian robe and a Dongpo scarf. His face was blurred in the dark night. He was walking slowly in a circle with his head lowered on crutches. As he walked, he used the crutches. Knocking on the ground.

"Duk...duk...duk..."

is an old man.

Old people dressed in this way are relatively common among intellectuals with a certain status. But how did he end up strolling in the front yard of his home in the middle of the night?Zhang Jing was a little confused.

He walked through the entrance of the Hanging Flower Gate, but the old man seemed not to notice it. He just walked in circles with his head lowered, slowly going around and around...

Zhang Jing noticed that a faint black energy rose from the old man and spread to the surrounding heaven and earth.

"Deep... Du... Du..." The bright moon hung high in the sky, the old man was spinning in circles, and the black air was rising. Zhang felt a strange atmosphere...

"This old gentleman..." He couldn't help but say.

The old man didn't react at all and was still walking slowly.

"Old gentleman? This old gentleman..." Zhang Jing walked a few steps and came to the old man's side: "This old gentleman..."

"Huh?" The old man finally responded. Hearing this, he paused and raised his head. This time, Zhang Jing could see the old man's face clearly.This is a pale face full of wrinkles, with a wound on the forehead, and black blood is gurgling out...

"Are you calling me?"

"Yes, this old gentleman..." However, before Zhang Jing could finish speaking, the old man spoke again: "Who are you and why are you in my home?"

The old man opened his eyes and looked straight at Zhang Jing. Zhang Jing found that his eyes were so dark that they seemed to have no whites.

This was obviously not a human being, Zhang Jing secretly took a step back.Thinking of the fact that there was a dead person in this room before, could it be that something evil happened? ! !

"Who are you and why are you in my home?" The old man stared at Zhang Jing blankly and repeated the same sentence again.

"Who are you and why are you in my home?"

Seeing that the old man seemed to be mentally abnormal, Zhang Jing couldn't help but replied: "Old sir, I am a tenant here. You fell here before and passed away. Your son rented this house to me."

"Dead... I'm dead..." The old man was stunned when he heard this, then lowered his head and murmured: "I'm dead... I'm already dead..."

As he spoke, the old man's head slowly turned around again. Without moving his body, he turned a full 180 degrees, twisting into an angle that a normal person could never achieve. His two dark eyes stared at Looking at Zhang Jing, she shed tears of blood: "I'm not dead...I'm not dead...you lied..."

As he spoke, his face gradually became extremely ferocious, the corners of his mouth split open toward his cheeks, revealing a mouth full of sharp teeth, and his voice became sharp: "You lied! I'm not dead..."

The next moment, the monster stretched out its hands, its fingers turned into sharp claws, and pounced towards Zhang Jing.

This attack came very quickly. Fortunately, Zhang Jing had already taken precautions when he saw that the situation was not going well. He slipped to the side in the gap where the monster jumped to avoid the attack.

The monster jumped into the air and did not stop. It turned around and grabbed Zhang Jing with its claws one after the other.Zhang Jing shrank, only half a step slower, and his arm was touched by a claw.

The next moment, Zhang Jing passed through the hanging flower door and hid in the inner courtyard.

Both claws grazed on the stone hanging flower door and pulled out several white marks.

The brief contact just now made Zhang Jing understand that this monster has a physical body and is not a so-called spirit body.

Follower Zhang Jing chased him into the inner courtyard. The monster got down on all fours and rushed towards Zhang Jing like a wild beast. Zhang Jing raised his leg and kicked towards the monster.

With a muffled sound, Zhang Jing felt like he was defeated. He kicked the monster up and rolled to the ground, but it didn't seem to cause much damage. The monster quickly turned over and rushed towards Zhang Jing again.

what to do?This monster seems to be very durable... Zhang Jing thought to himself as he jumped up onto the courtyard wall to avoid the monster's pursuit.

The monster clung to its teeth, got down on all fours, and ran straight up the courtyard wall as if ignoring gravity. Upon seeing this, Zhang Jing jumped down again, picked up a rake for hoeing flowers from the wall, and swung it towards the monster.

The blow was very harsh, but the monster howled and one of its arms dropped down, as if it had been injured by Zhang Jing.
