If I don't have money to go to college, I can only go to slay the dragon.

"Mr. Liu, what you want." Jiang Yousi walked up to Lin Nian and others, holding a large bright yellow flashlight in his hand, looking at the head and the warning on it "Do not shine in people's eyes" It can be seen that the power of this thing is probably amazing.

"Thank you." Vice Minister Liu mentioned the bright flashlight to Lin Nian and motioned, "A 200,000 lumen outdoor bright flashlight is usually used when we explore mountains and search for fleeing suspects."

"Flashlight." Li Huanyue stared at Vice Minister Liu.

"As you can see, there is nothing special about the flashlight. The only thing I can say is that it is more powerful." The deputy minister lifted the flashlight vigorously to show how heavy and powerful he was.

"200,000 lumens? Can the heat dissipation work?" Lin Nian still roughly knows what 200,000 lumens is. The car xenon headlights produced by the famous lamp factory Audi only have 3,200 lumens. The thing they have now can have 200,000, wouldn’t this flashlight overheat and explode just after it was lit?

"You can always trust Tianji Pavilion in terms of materials science. After all, this is what we eat." Vice Minister Liu added with some regret, carrying a heavy and powerful flashlight, "It's a pity that the technology is limited. To achieve lightweight, battery is also a big problem. If the efficiency can be maintained while being lightweight, or if there are too few and too many, new weapons can be developed to equip Lang Juxu’s operators. .”

"Can a flashlight also be used as a weapon?" Jiang Yousi, who had not yet left and was accompanied by several people, asked subconsciously.

"Don't underestimate the flashlight. Have you heard of the 'True Word Dzi Beads'?" Vice Minister Liu looked at Jiang Yousi who nodded with interest, and started talking about a seemingly unrelated topic.

"I seem to have heard of the glowing power word?" Jiang Youbo was not sure of his memory.

"It's the one that shines." Vice Minister Liu nodded, "I wonder if you have read "Mengxi Bi Tan" by Shen Kuo of the Northern Song Dynasty."

"I've heard of it." Lin Nian said. Jiang Yousi nodded, probably meaning he had heard of it or not.

"In "Mengxi Bi Tan", there is a chapter that mentions "In Jiayou, there is a bead in Yangzhou. It is very big and can be seen often in the dark sky." It is said that there is a mysterious bead that fell from the sky. It was first discovered in Pi Zezhong, Tianchang County. It was night when it was discovered. The person who found it thought it was a treasure from heaven, and couldn't wait to capture it and present it to the emperor for official promotion. Unexpectedly, when he quietly approached, the mysterious bead suddenly emitted light. The dazzling light illuminated the entire lake. What's more, even the capital city of Kaifeng, 500 kilometers away, saw the white light in the south. After the light faded, the profit-seeking treasure hunters became blind and became beggars. Living on the street, every time someone sees him, he will be alerted that he has offended the 'Dzi Bead' and will not end well."

"You mean, the prototype of this story was caused by a mantra?" Jiang Yousi's expression was a bit strange.

"In fact, ancient books like "Mengxi Bi Tan", such as "Youyang Zazu", "Biography of Immortals", "Shan Hai Jing", etc., all contain large pieces of similar anecdotes. After later generations study They all believe that this is the absurd speculation of the ancients about unknown natural phenomena and creatures. After research, some historians and archaeologists in the mixed race have discovered that there are many traces of dragon civilization in the anecdotes recorded by the ancients. Mantra His technique has left a lot of rich and colorful strokes in most chapters." The deputy minister said with great interest,

"The earliest origin of the mantra of 'Dzi Bead' is recognized as this passage in "Meng Xi Bi Tan". The effect of the mantra itself is to release a strong light with an intensity of more than 4,000 lumens in the area centered on itself. Although It is not lethal but can seriously affect vision."

"Word Spirit: Blazing Sun?" Lin Nian suddenly realized what the word spirit corresponding to the 'Truth Word Technique: Dzi Bead' mentioned by Deputy Minister Liu was.

"On the Western half-breed side, the name for 'Dzi Bead' is indeed 'blazing sun', which is straightforward and easy to understand, but on our side, the naming of Power Word Techniques mostly relies on citations from scriptures."

"In the textbook of Kassel College, the earliest discoverer of the word 'blazing sun' was Louis XIV, the Frenchman who proclaimed himself the Sun King. Unofficial history records that during a public speech, the people found that their king had his hands spread out. There was a light source floating a foot behind his head. Many people claimed that Louis XIV was the resurrection of Jesus - after all, their king himself was a Catholic fanatic and only took 77 baths in his 77 years of life, just because According to Catholic teachings, people practice cultivation in order to cleanse their souls, and taking a bath will actually affect people's practice," Lin Nian said.

"Louis XIV is a mixed race?" Vice Minister Liu was a little curious. He didn't know much about foreign histories and anecdotes.

"No, Louis XIV was just an ordinary person. The skill of pretending to be resurrected was actually something he got from a barefoot doctor in the countryside who owned the 'Blazing Sun' spiritual spirit." Lin Nian said, "Because of the 'Blazing Sun' It is also a very good portable ultraviolet light source that can kill all viruses and bacteria in the field in a very short time. At that time, it was basically a walking sterile room. The barefoot doctor discovered this principle and actively Developed and used, he soon became a rare miracle doctor. While his medical skills were miraculous, the barefoot doctor's only pleasure was to use his words to pretend to be Jesus and let the good-looking village girls give birth to the "Holy Saint" for him. Son'. This later rumor fell into the ears of Louis XIV, and he ordered someone to be summoned to promise him an official title and a daughter. After getting the secret of the 'Blazing Sun' from the other person's mouth, the object of Jesus' reincarnation became the king."

"Wonderful story!" Vice Minister Liu wanted to applaud, but holding a heavy flashlight in his right hand, he could only nod his head in praise.

"This has nothing to do with the previous topic, so what exactly are we doing with the flashlight?" Lin Nian tried to change the topic.

"Although the topic is unrelated, it won't hurt if we talk about it." Vice Minister Liu's attitude was quite relaxed, as if what he was dealing with was not a major matter related to the Nibelungs at all.

Lin Nian looked at Li Huoyue and found that Li Huoyue was not surprised at all by the bespectacled man's attitude. He seemed to be used to it.

As members of the Tianji Pavilion, they have a natural irresistibility to such anecdotes. The more bizarre unofficial histories and stories are, the more they will arouse their interest. There is no guarantee that they will get something from these interesting stories. Inspiration, so as to create some "organic creations" that are in line with wild historical rumors.

"The Northern Song Dynasty is much earlier than the reign of Louis XIV. It seems that many Yanlings may be traced back to earlier times on the orthodox side, although in the end it will not have any impact on the entire Yanling system. But it is estimated that many historians will be interested in this matter. If you have the opportunity, you can recommend some professors of secret party spiritualism to come to orthodox exchange and study." Vice Minister Liu suggested cheerfully.

"Let's talk about this kind of thing later. It's just a casual mention now." As for the origin of the 'blazing sun', Lin Nian simply remembered too much, so he said it casually, and did not forget to endure the correction. "But the light that the blazing sun can reach The effect is only 4,000 lumens and upwards, and the most extreme record is probably around 20,000. The "Mengxi Bi Tan" I just mentioned mentioned that Yanling in Tianchang County can be seen in Kaifeng. It is an exaggeration. The visibility of 500 kilometers is estimated to be explosive. Not a blazing sun but a candle dragon.”

"It's very common for unofficial historians to exaggerate. The core of what I want to express is that science and technology are advancing. In the past, the thousands of lumens of light released by the 'blazing sun' or the 'dzi beads' could be used to astonish the ancients. But now, Now a portable spotlight can do it. If it can be made lighter, does that mean that even without blood, everyone can achieve the effect of speaking and spirit in actual combat?" Vice Minister Liu handed over a bright flashlight. He gave it to Lin Nian. Lin Nian glanced at him and chose to take it. Sure enough, just pressing the button on the handle can start this big thing that seems to be explosive.

"In the final analysis, 'Blazing Sun' is just a low-sequence, low-risk word spirit."

"But it can be seen that everything is from small to large. It is not certain that one day your equipment department or our Tianji Pavilion will develop a mantra that is comparable to 'Yang Qing·Yin Zhuo'? This is also the case with Tianji Pavilion. The future that every member dreams of is to use science, technology, Qingwu, and the integration of ancient and modern methods to create miracles and a new era."

Lin Nian didn't ask what word spirit corresponded to "yangqing·yinzhuo", otherwise Vice Minister Liu, who was very expressive, would have enthusiastically pulled him to learn more about science for a while. If he didn't speak, he would have acquiesced to the other party's point of view. .

"So what is this flashlight used for?" Lin Nian tried to change the topic again. Holding the flashlight, he looked up at the smiling Deputy Minister Liu and looked at the dark tunnel behind him, "We are going in to explore. Want to check it out?"

"It's okay to go in, but not now." Vice Minister Liu didn't seem to be in a hurry at all. He looked at the time on the LED lights hanging on the platform not far away, "It's almost time."

"What time is it?" Lin Nian looked back at the time. It was now 3:23 in the afternoon, an ordinary time.

"Can you try shining a light into the tunnel? It's just a test of the power of this flashlight." The deputy minister stepped aside and suggested.

"Looking into the tunnel?" Lin Nian glanced sideways at the bottomless dark tunnel. When the deputy minister on the side nodded, he raised the flashlight and pointed it inside and pressed the button.

There was a clear "pop" sound, and the bright light of the flashlight, which seemed to have a sound, was splashed out like a large splash of shaped "water". It was a large dazzling light, which instantly illuminated the long tunnel and illuminated the inside. The dusty railway tracks, the cables on the tunnel walls and the power maintenance box were clearly illuminated.

I'm afraid that if Raymond were to stand in the tunnel and fire a "blazing sun" shot, the effect would not be much better than a single shot of this flashlight. The power that hybrids are proud of is indeed given by this kind of technological creation that can be seen everywhere. The comparison is over.

"It doesn't seem to be anything special." Lin Nian looked at the deputy minister with a flashlight that was gradually starting to heat up. It was no different from an ordinary subway line. The only thing worth mentioning is that it is a little dirty, the equipment is a little old, and the power There are still traces of the white fire-retardant paint painted on the inspection box in the last century.

"It's really nothing special." The deputy minister pushed up his glasses with his ring finger and smiled, "But it will be different later, so turn off the flashlight."

Lin Nian turned off the flashlight but still didn't quite understand what it meant.

The deputy minister turned to Jiang Yousi and asked, "How long does it take for people to arrive?"

Jiang Youbin also looked back at the time on the LED light sign, walked quickly to the staff gathered not far away, and came back after communicating for a while, "We are almost there, the card has been changed."

"What about the process? Has the transformation process been recorded this time?"

"No, I still discovered that the transformation was completed inadvertently as before." Jiang Yousi shook his head, "I still didn't dare to use electronic equipment to record it. It seems that as long as there are observers, the card will not transform, which means The challenge failed."

"It seems that we still haven't found any clues in some places." A look of regret appeared on Vice Minister Liu's face, but it was only fleeting. "It's already good to be successful."

"What are you talking about?" Lin Nian asked directly.

"Have you ever heard of an urban legend?" Vice Minister Liu looked at Lin Nian and asked, "In the BJ subway transportation lines, if you hold an IC card, you have to swipe the card once at the platform of Line 1 and each ring line. , check in all the stations once in a day, and then look at your IC card and you will find that it has turned into gold. With this golden card, you can return to the starting point of Line 1 and take the last train that is not on the North Line. A mysterious train in the subway transportation system, it will take you to an unknown world."

Lin Nian suddenly remembered something and took out the pure white IC card in his pocket. Li Hueyue on the side also had the same reaction as him. The two of them stared at the card in their hands for a few seconds, and then They looked at each other, silent, then looked at Vice Minister Liu, still silent.

"I know this sounds like a joke," the deputy minister said, shaking his head.

"It's not just a joke, it's the kind of spam messages that are sent in groups everywhere in chat software, saying that today is a special day. If you forward it to ten groups, your profile picture will turn into gold. It's the same rubbish and boring joke." Lin Nian said directly. Say whatever you have to say. In the past, every time he saw Lu Mingfei forwarding this kind of message to him, he wanted to take a taxi and go downstairs to chat with him, but no one would reimburse the taxi fare, so he repeatedly turned off the engine and endured it.

"Can I sit on Line 1 and the entire ring line in one day and swipe my card once at each station? Can it be completed in 24 hours?" Li Huanyue held a white card and asked directly the question she really cared about, Lin Nian looked sideways at him with a curious look in his eyes, "You actually believe it?"

"It can be completed, and it doesn't take 24 hours. As of 2011, there are two subway loop lines in BJ. Line 2 and Line 13. Strictly speaking, Line 13 can only be considered a circular route, but after experiments Later, I discovered that Line 13 in this set of 'rules' is indeed a complete loop line, and it includes the railway from Xizhimen to Dongzhimen, which belongs to Line 2, into Line 13." Jiang Yousi on the side added.

When Lin Nian heard the word "rules", he immediately thought of the "rules" of the Nibelungs that Deputy Minister Liu mentioned before. Although it sounded ridiculous, he now began to believe it a little bit - the Nibelungs. For things like roots involving 'fields', the 'rules' can be modified. When he first came into contact with the Nibelungs, Yelena explained these characteristics to him.

"Have you ever succeeded?" Lin Nian asked.

"More than once." Vice Minister Liu looked into the distance behind Lin Nian, "Just watch."

Lin Nian noticed that behind the narrow corridor-shaped platform, the staff who were originally gathered in front of the instruments or discussing in a group quickly walked towards the exit of the subway and evacuated in an orderly manner. Everyone's face had vague expectations and... uneasiness? The originally bustling platform was quickly evacuated and no one was around, leaving only a large number of instruments in place, beeping from time to time, flashing red and green lights, and laying cables horizontally.

The platform fell silent.

"Well, people are here." Jiang Yousi said.

"Who has arrived?" Lin Nian turned around and asked.

"The person who successfully speed-passed the urban legend." The deputy minister looked at the entrance and exit of the platform. After everyone had evacuated, a lone figure came down from the stairs. It was a young man with an undistinguished appearance, wearing everyday clothes. Wearing sneakers, his expression seemed a little tired, but he still walked quickly with energy.

The young man walked to the empty platform and soon noticed a few people standing near the entrance of the tunnel. After a slight hesitation, he began to approach.

"I'll evacuate first, Deputy Liu. I'll wait for you above." Jiang Yousi whispered and left in a hurry, passing the young man without looking back.

When the young man came, Vice Minister Liu stepped forward and raised his hand, "Thank you for your sacrifice and contribution to Orthodoxy."

"If so, this is what I should do and what a member of Lang Juxu should do." The young man held Deputy Minister Liu's hand. Lin Nian noticed that his breathing was slightly accelerated and his heartbeat was faster than normal. It was obvious that the other person was nervous, but his tired face was full of perseverance.

"Do you still have the ticket?" The deputy minister withdrew his hand.

"Of course." The young man slowly took out a card from his coat pocket.

Lin Nian immediately stared at the golden card. The shape was no different from the white IC card in his hand, but the color was a slightly dull gold, with a gilded texture. There were no patterns on the front and back, and it was slightly refracted. Under the white light of the grille lamp above the head, it looks particularly mysterious and beautiful, like some kind of work of art.

"Is there really a so-called golden ticket?" Lin Nian asked in a low voice.

The golden ticket to the Dragon King's lair. It is truly a "golden ticket" worthy of the name.

"You too." The young man saw the white IC card in Lin Nian's hand. He was about to say something but suddenly stopped.

He didn't recognize Lin Nian, but he recognized Li Hueyue beside him. After recognizing Li Hueyue at close range, he also saw the white IC card in the other person's hand. The young man's expression changed instantly, and he became excited. Respect, and relief.

He performed a military salute to Li Hueyue, braced himself, puffed out his chest, and said calmly, "Lang Juxu raised his army in his ugly years. Li Qing, I would like to send my regards to you."

"A child of the family." Li Huanyue looked at the young man named Li Qing, nodded slightly, and slowly returned a standard salute, "Did you ask for help voluntarily?"

"Please volunteer." Li Qing nodded and said solemnly, "I will live and die for my family, and I will sacrifice my body to achieve my great aspirations, even if I die."

Li Huoyue raised her hand and put it on his shoulder. With just a gentle press, Li Qing's face already turned red with recognition.

"With this golden IC card, the 'ghost train' will arrive as promised?" Lin Nian asked, looking steadily at the golden card in Li Qing's hand.

Ridiculous things seem to be becoming reality, but whether this is really the case will soon be known.

"According to the past rules, this is the case, but there must be a premise. The guide will only lead the way for qualified people. This means that if there are idle people present, the road will not be open. Only on the platform Only the qualified person will be left, and the train will pull out of the tunnel and take him to that mysterious country." Vice Minister Liu looked at the entrance of the tunnel with his hands on his waist.

This is also the reason why all the staff evacuated after Li Qing arrived.

"That means we'll have to go up there in a while."

"Yes." Vice Minister Liu raised his hand and patted Li Qing on the shoulder, then handed over a mobile phone, "My little friend Lang Juxu, can you do me a favor? If the car comes later, record a video for me." Yue' and the secret party's 'S' class, they need more intelligence to conquer this mysterious 'realm'."

"Of course it's no problem, just what kind of video do you need me to record?" Li Qing asked.

"Did you see the flashlight on the ground? After the train comes, you use this flashlight to shine into the tunnel. No matter what you see, take pictures with your mobile phone. Don't use video recording, use photos. Then put the mobile phone where you are. You can then complete your mission." Vice Minister Liu said.

Li Qing nodded and took the phone, saying that he would definitely complete the task. He then looked at Li Huoyue and Lin Nian. After understanding their identities, he seemed to have been injected with a shot in the arm. The tension gradually disappeared, replaced by calmness and calmness.

"Let's go." Vice Minister Liu patted the young man's shoulder heavily and walked to the platform. "The next step is his own mission. Remember to put on the equipment and put it in a fixed position and be ready."

Lin Nian didn't say anything. He glanced at the other party and turned to follow Vice Minister Liu. Li Huanyue also said a word or two to the other party in private, and only followed after receiving a nod from the other party.

Before walking around the corner and going up the stairs, Lin Nian took one last look at the man named Li Qing, or maybe a boy. He was at most 19 or 20 years old, almost the same age as Lin Nian. He was holding the golden card in his left hand. , holding the mobile phone in his right hand, he stood alone in front of the cold and desolate platform under the grille lamp with his chest lifted. In front of him was a dark and gloomy subway tunnel. Occasionally, the wind blew out from the black tunnel mouth, stirring up the dust on the ground and the waste paper thrown by someone. The boy who stood upright looked down with light golden determination in his eyes. of divine light.
