Castle of Black Iron
Chapter 25: belief
"Oh, mom and dad, just leave me alone. Look, the weather outside is so good, how nice it is for the two of you to walk outside, the park in the city, the reservoir on the outskirts of the city, there must be a lot of people today, you go out Let me breathe. I run outside every day and I have had enough fun. I will be watching the shop at home today, taking a break by the way, and training this and other training in school every day, but I am tired of your son!"
After lunch, Zhang Tie tidily cleaned up the house, and then he pushed his father and mother out of the house. His father worked six days a week and was in the workshop of the factory every day. His breath was full of dust, mom. Even worse, every day guarding the rice brewing shop at home, in such a small space, turning around will get in the way, so every weekend, Zhang Tie, who doesn’t want his parents to feel that his life is too gloomy, will always think Ways to "drive my parents out of the house" to breathe. As for himself, he was at home to help see the shop today.
Seeing that his son is well-behaved and sensible, my father and mother are naturally happy, but when they are leaving, my mother is still worried about Zhang Tie, "Remember not to increase the price of rice brew. When meeting old customers, first put rice and rice Tell people about the increase in the price of ingredients and tell them that if the price we buy next week cannot be lowered, the rice brew in our store will be adjusted upwards. It is all regular customers. Don’t let people think of us. The family's greed offends people!"
"I know mom, you've said it more than thirty times, would I be so ignorant?" Zhang Tie cried aggrievedly, he is 15 years old now, a little thing, my mom always like to tell a little It hurts self-esteem that children are nagging and nagging like an incompetent child.
"Where are there more than thirty times, at most five times!" Mom glared at Zhang Tie feigningly, trying to pull Zhang Tie's ears, Zhang Tie quickly slipped away, and then made a gesture to his mom. Grimace, Yigulu ran to the rice brewing shop and yelled loudly, "Zhang’s freshly baked rice stuff is fragrant, sweet and delicious. Men are strong when they eat and women are beautiful when they are eaten. Don’t pass by. I missed it. There are six coppers in a bowl. The amount is large and good..."
"This kid..." Dad smiled and shook his head.
...
Seeing the two parents disappearing to the side of the street holding hands, Zhang Tie rubbed his slightly fluffy chin with one hand, and it took a long time for him to withdraw his weird gaze from the two of them. I don’t know why, dad. My mother has been married for decades, but every time the two of them go out together, they naturally hold hands. It always makes Zhang Tie feel that they are not a couple who have been married for many years, but like a couple who are in love. Like the young man, he always gives people an indescribable weird feeling.
Is this love? Zhang Tie didn't know. To tell the truth, his life experience was not enough to make him feel and understand it enough. But looking at the appearance of his father and mother, he has a strange sense of happiness growing in his heart.
As soon as his parents left, Zhang Tie sat bored in the rice brewing shop, holding a whisk, and flies away from time to time. The rice noodle has a sweet taste, which attracts flies the most, especially when the weather is hot, and in a few months, if it comes to summer, bamboo curtains have to be hung outside the facade of this rice noodle shop. To get rid of these nasty guys who are always buzzing in your ears. But as soon as the bamboo curtain is hung to cover the carefully prepared displays on the counter, the business in the small shop will drop a little, and this happens every year, without exception.
It was the afternoon, and the sun was shining on the street at this moment, and the birds on the plane tree were silent for a whole winter. The birds all seemed to get out of their nests and jumped up and shouted happily. The mottled plane leaves filled the market here. Mottled light spots and shade of trees were cast on the breathtaking streets.
Outside the Zhang’s rice brewing shop, a sign written by my father last night has been hung up, “Because of the recent increase in food prices and raw material prices, this shop expects to increase the price next week, please be considerate of new and old customers...”
My lovely dad, if I changed to Tang De, he would definitely follow the price increase on the first day of the increase in rice prices, so it wouldn't take as long as a week.
Sitting in the shop for half an hour, doing a few small businesses, selling seven or eight bowls of rice stuffed rice, put the scattered copper plates in the drawer, and put the rice stuffed bowls that others had eaten Soaking the spoon in the washing tub, watching the rising sun, the hand shaking the whisk became weaker and weaker, Zhang Tie couldn't help getting bored, at the age of escape, sitting alone on the big weekend Who can stand the flies here? But the more bored he felt, the more Zhang Tie admired his mother. After sitting for a while, she became bored. His mother had been sitting here for twenty years.
People always find something to do for themselves when they are bored. What Zhang Tie finds for himself in boredom is to practice "Pearl Mind and Divine Calculation". This "Pearl Mind and Divine Calculation" has many realms, the lowest one, just like As Zhang Tie practiced last night, with his eyes closed, he used a long time to visualize the abacus in his mind and then plan it in his mind. The second level is that you can visualize the abacus in your mind almost in the blink of an eye without closing your eyes, and then plan it in your mind. After all, this is a practical mental arithmetic skill. It takes hours to think of an abacus, and you can't open your eyes, so use a fart. In the third level, the abacus visualized in my mind already seems to be non-existent or non-existent. Seeing any calculation problem, the answer will naturally appear in my heart. This is the profound meaning of "Pearl Mind and Magic Calculation". Then, on this basis, visualize the abacus from three levels, to twelve levels, or even more levels. Finally, you can even use multi-tasking to visualize several abacus, or divide a multi-level abacus into In different areas, do many different calculation questions on addition, subtraction, multiplication and division at the same time and get the answer in the blink of an eye. This is the highest state of "Pearl Mind Arithmetic", once trained, that person can be called a humanoid supercomputer.
Zhang Tie actually doubted whether the "Abacus, Mind and Arithmetic" written in that book could reach the highest level of multi-tasking as a humanoid computer, but when he thought of the vague words "Primary school students recommend extracurricular readings" in that book Zhang Tie was discouraged for a while. There was a feeling that people are more popular than others. In the end, where is the elementary school so awesome, Zhang Tie finally even suspected that what the old book seller said might be true-this book "It is possible that it was really made from the remains before the cataclysm. The era before the cataclysm was bizarre, and the things made in the ruins were strange. The expensive crystals used for cultivation in this era were just inconspicuous decorations in that era. People still look down on it. Maybe this strange book is really an extracurricular reading for the primary school students in the era before the catastrophe?
No matter, after practicing, it seems that this "Pearl Mind and Fortune" seems to be able to restore mental strength by the way when practicing. Zhang Tie also wants to check again to see if this effect is really there, but when he thinks of "by the way" With two words, Zhang Tie couldn't help being messed up for a while, the abacus that visualized the two files in his mind instantly collapsed...
The mental power that is so difficult to cultivate, and by the way...
This is really unacceptable.
Just when Zhang Tie’s eyes were half-open and half-closed, time after time, sitting in a small shop and condensing the time to visualize the three-level abacus from more than ten minutes to five or six minutes, the two made Zhang Tie a little surprised. People appeared in front of Zhang Tie.
Dead fat Barry and Doug, the two guys are riding a bicycle, and the silly Doug stubbornly rides the bike and sells coolies, sweating profusely and smiling with a happy smirk, Barry is this cunning The fat fat man was sitting behind the bicycle. When Zhang Tie saw them, the fat fat boy Bali, who had been patrolling both sides of the street, also saw Zhang Tie.
"That's it, brake!" The dead fat man Barry yelled, and he lightly jumped from the back seat of the bicycle and landed on his feet.
Doug, who was still happily on the bike just now, suddenly yelled in horror after Barry got out of the car, "Ah, where is the brake, how to stop, ah...help..."
boom……
"Asshole, this is the new car that my dead ghost dad just bought for me!" Barry also cried distressedly.
Zhang Tie helplessly covered his forehead with his hands, and closed his eyes in pain...
Two minutes later, Doug and Barry, grinning and rubbing their ass, stood in front of Zhang Tie’s shop, watching Doug swallow hard while smelling the scent of rice stuffed with the beggars on Barry’s face. With a big smile, Zhang Tie cursed secretly, took out two sets of bowls and spoons from under the counter, then opened the clay pot, scooped a bowl for the two guys with a large spoon of rice stuffed, and pushed them viciously in front of them.
The two guys immediately opened their eyebrows and grinned, without a word of politeness. They picked up the bowl, and Xili snorted and licked the bowl clean. Seeing Doug sticking his tongue out and spinning in the bowl, Zhang Tie really wanted to hold his hand. The upper spoon is slammed on his head, can you feel sicker? No, the bowl this guy has eaten must be disinfected with boiling water.
Seeing the pleasing smiles on the faces of the two guys after eating, Zhang Tie quickly took the bowls and spoons of the two people back, his old face was stern, "I asked you just now, now there are six copper bowls, you anything else?"
Doug immediately turned his help-seeking gaze to Bally, the fat man Bally patted his waist, and a handful of the copper plate was buckled on the table, "It's delicious, one more bowl!"
Zhang Tie was not hypocritical. He swept the money into the drawer, and gave the two guys a bowl and another bowl. Under Doug's reluctant gaze, Zhang Tie received the bowls and spoons of the two guys. In the basin. When Doug turned his help-seeking gaze to Barry again, Barry automatically ignored his gaze and turned to talk to Zhang Tie.
"Ah...cough...what's this called, rice noodles?"
"Rice brew! Something?"
"Hey, home visits are a good tradition of our Aircraft Brotherhood!" Barry laughed.
"Okay, hurry up and talk business, I am now hundreds of thousands a second..."
"Have you heard of Red Scarf Pirates?"
Hearing Pali talk about the Red Scarf Pirates, Zhang Tie was really a little surprised, "I've heard, what's wrong?"
Bally looked around, lowered his voice, and quietly repeated the news that Zhang Tie had heard from his brother. "I only learned about it last night. I will inform you today. Those who know this news are probably still Not much. Anyway, be careful during this period of time. Don’t go out to wander around at night. Don’t leave the city casually if you have nothing to do. The Red Scarf Pirates are full of butchers who kill people without blinking. Isn’t there a proverb among your Chinese? When there is a fire, there will be a few hapless fish in the moat. I don’t want anyone in our Aircraft Brotherhood to be that hapless fish!"
"I came here today for this?"
"Of course, otherwise, do you think it's fun to come out under such a big sun with Doug? After I inform you, I will inform the two guys Shavin and Sista later. Okay, it won't affect you for a second. Zhong has a business worth hundreds of thousands..."
Looking at the face of the fat man, Zhang Tie was slightly moved in his heart, "Thanks, brother!"
"Then invite us to have another bowl!" Barry salivated.
Zhang Tie stretched out his hand, twisted his fingers, and made a gesture that everyone understood.
"Ha...ha... let's go, there's another one!" Barry patted the back seat of the bicycle, urging Doug to get in the car quickly. Doug pushed the car for a few steps, turning his head to look at Zhang Tie. , Hesitated, "Bally said... Learn to ride a bike and pick up girls!"
"Don't worry, I won't tell you, your riding skills are awesome!" Zhang Tie extended a thumb.
Doug was satisfied, nodded, then babbled on the bike again, and took Barry away...
Zhang Tie didn't expect the news about the Red Scarf Pirates to spread so quickly. After only two days, the people in Heiyan City were panicked...
Why don't you think about these useless things, let's practice my "Pearl Mind Arithmetic" honestly. What kind of red scarf thief, do you have a relationship with a small person like yourself? Zhang Tie laughed mockingly.
In the evening, Mom and Dad came back with a message that the city ban in Heiyan City had begun to become stricter. In the evening, it was necessary to check the identity certificate when entering and leaving Heiyan City.
After dinner, Gregory, the sheriff of the area carrying a lantern, knocked on the door of Zhang’s house, and sent notices from house to house. Each house was not allowed to stay with strangers. Any suspicious person should be reported immediately. After twelve o'clock tonight, Heiyan City began to implement a curfew...
Less than half a day after the dead Fatty Barry left, the news of the Red Scarf Pirate finally spread in Black Flame City, and an uneasy atmosphere began to agitate.
But none of this has anything to do with Zhang Tie. After dinner, the sheriff left, after washing Zhang Tie, he returned to his cabin and entered the Fortress of Dark Iron. He was cleaning a bag of garbage left by the house cleaning and cooking in the kitchen. After throwing into the Chaos Pool, Zhang Tie clapped his hands, then opened the basic attribute panel of the Black Iron Fort, and looked at the latest attributes of the Black Iron Fort with satisfaction——
——Black Iron Fort
——Length: 1 Ju Lu She
——Width: 1 Ju Lu She
——Aura value: 1.8
—— Merit value: 43
——Basic energy reserve: 0.5
——Special output: none
...
I asked my parents to go out to play. I kept the shop for a day and got 5 merit points. In addition to cleaning the house and cooking, there were a total of 8 merit points mixed today. The potatoes continued to sprout, and the spiritual energy value increased by 1.1. Packing garbage in exchange for a basic energy reserve of 0.3, this is what I have gained today...
Look at the Manshushahua karma tree.
There are still 103 hours before the first non-leak fruit matures...
Sleepless, Zhang Tie took out the crystals that had been exposed to the sun for a day, and sat cross-legged in the Black Iron Fort to cultivate the bright spot of the temple. Through the experience in the Black Iron Fort these days, he found that The trajectory of the colorful mist in the black iron castle can calm people's mind inexplicably and easily enter the state of cultivation...
It was the first time that Zhang Tie had cultivated the bright spot in the Black Iron Fort, and quickly entered the state. With the dual action of crystal and spiritual power, Zhang Tie's palace bright spot quickly became cyan brilliance. Light up...
Only by constantly improving one's own strength is the greatest reliance for survival in this era, and to improve strength, there is no shortcut except for down-to-earth hard work and hard work-this is the belief that Zhang Tie has followed for 15 years.
Even if you get the Dark Iron Fort...
