Clearing the Jundao Building was no easy feat, but Long Xiao already had a plan.
When Long Xiao revealed his plan to clear the Jundao Building, everyone found it somewhat unbelievable.
"Brother, do you really think clearing the Jundao Building is that simple?" asked Luan Jiping.
Long Xiao nodded and said, "As long as the relevant parties support it, it shouldn't be difficult."
Luan Jiping shook her head and said, "Brother, we've always suspected that the Jundao Building is a feng shui arrangement by the island nation. They wouldn't let you touch it easily."
"That's right, the Jundao Building is indeed a feng shui arrangement, and it's a very large one, covering the entire East Sea."
As everyone opened the electronic map on their phones as Long Xiao instructed, he began to explain the feng shui arrangement.
The East Sea was built near the mouth of the Huang River. The Huang River, like a giant dragon, traversed the land of China and turned to enter the sea near its mouth. The entire Huang River resembled a giant dragon about to enter the sea, with the turn forming the dragon's head.
The purpose of the Jundao Building was to sever the head of this giant dragon, completely cutting off China's rise to prominence by leveraging the momentum of this entering dragon.
A single building was not enough to truly sever the Huang River dragon. Therefore, behind the Jundao Building, a series of structures were built to utilize the terrain.
These buildings were arranged in a Bagua pattern, encircling the Jundao Building and concentrating the surrounding earth's energy onto it.
The primary task now was to identify the locations of the eight buildings surrounding the Jundao Building. Based on the current situation, some of these buildings had already been completed, while others might be under construction.
After Long Xiao finished his explanation, he said, "Director Lu, please help me find the urban planning maps from the last year or two, especially around the Jundao Building. I'm looking for approved construction plans that are about to commence."
Lu Tianxing nodded and said, "No problem, I can directly ask the municipal government for them."
Long Xiao looked at Luo Cai Shen and said, "You are the God of Wealth, and finance is your forte. I'll leave the financial attack on the Dahe Overseas Development Company to you."
Luo Cai Shen nodded and said, "No problem, I'm good at finance."
The others looked at Long Xiao, not even eating, all waiting for him to assign them tasks.
"A'hu, arrange for some people to cause trouble for the island nation's people. Create conditions for Director Lu and arrest some of their key members. This way, it will be much easier for us to act."
Brother Xicheng Hu nodded and said, "Brother Long, don't worry, I have plenty of men. Causing trouble for them will be absolutely no problem."
"Long Xiao, what should I do?" asked Nangong Fu.
Long Xiao thought for a moment and shook his head, "You don't have anything to do right now."
Long Xiao then looked at Luan Jiping and said, "Sister, do you know who the owner of Zuixian Lou is?"
Luan Jiping shook her head and said, "I don't know. I only know that the manager of Zuixian Lou is a middle-aged man, nothing special, and he's very kind."
"Zuixian Lou has an unusual background. This building was completed at the same time as the Jundao Building. It's precisely because of Zuixian Lou that the Jundao Building's effectiveness was halved."
"Could it be that someone saw through the Jundao Building's purpose long ago?" asked Lu Tianzhi.
Long Xiao nodded and said, "The person who built Zuixian Lou must have seen the Jundao Building's purpose, and this person is quite skilled in feng shui."
Lu Tiankui said, "Long Xiao, leave this matter to me. I'll do my best to investigate, and perhaps I can find out."
Long Xiao nodded and said, "Alright, but be careful. The owner of Zuixian Lou is not ordinary."
Lu Tiankui nodded and said, "Don't worry, even if he finds out I'm investigating him, he can't do anything to me."
After Xiao Ming finished eating, Long Xiao had him and Luo Tianshui go to Mangshan No. 1 and bring out all the jade pendants hidden in Long Xiao's bedroom, distributing one to each of them.
No one expected Long Xiao to be so generous, giving out Imperial Green jade pendants, which were not cheap.
Luo Cai Shen took the jade pendant and examined it carefully for a while, then asked curiously, "Long Xiao, who did you learn this talisman array from?"
The matter of "Long Zang" naturally couldn't be revealed. Long Xiao then remembered the old man he had followed around for a few days when he was a child.
Long Xiao had long forgotten what the old man's name was. Since everyone believed that old man to be the Heavenly Physician Long Xiaotian, they would consider him to be Long Xiaotian.
"This talisman array was taught to me by an old man. When I was a child, the old man took me all over the country, traveling throughout China..."
"What old man? Did you take a master when you were a child?" asked Luo Cai Shen.
Long Xiao shook his head and said, "I didn't take any master. The old man was just a seller of fake medicine, but he knew a lot of things. Sometimes, when I had nothing to do, I learned a few tricks from him."
"Impossible. How could a seller of fake medicine understand such profound talisman arrays?"
Luan Jiping chuckled and said, "Cai Shen, do you know who my brother is referring to as a seller of fake medicine?"
Luo Cai Shen shook his head and said, "No, do you know?"
Luan Jiping said, "Of course I know. The old man my brother is referring to is called Long Xiaotian."
Everyone looked at Long Xiao in shock. Except for a few who knew the truth, the others hadn't expected that Long Xiao had once roamed the martial world with Long Xiaotian.
It seemed as if everything was falling into place. Now, no matter what Long Xiao claimed to know, no one would doubt him.
Long Xiaotian was a legend in China, and his legend couldn't be told in three days and three nights. In recent years, no one had heard any news of Long Xiaotian, and the Chinese people were all guessing what had happened to him.
"Little brother, since you followed Long Xiaotian, you should know his situation. Where has Long Xiaotian been for the past decade or so?" asked Ban Jiang Hong.
Long Xiao shook his head with difficulty and said, "I don't know. From my earliest memories, the old man took me around selling fake medicine. When I was five, I met my current adoptive father, and he took me in. Long Xiaotian left, and I never saw him again."
Everyone looked at Long Xiao with disappointment. Where Long Xiaotian had gone was a mystery. They had hoped to solve this mystery through Long Xiao's connection with Long Xiaotian, but it turned out he knew even less about Long Xiaotian's situation.
Everyone felt that Long Xiao was bluffing. From birth to five years old, even a genius couldn't learn much.
"Why do I feel something is wrong? Long Xiao, at what age did you start remembering things?"
Long Xiao thought for a moment and said, "I don't know either. I only vaguely remember wandering around with the old man. As for what age I started remembering things, I don't recall."
"You forgot how old you were when you started remembering things, yet you can remember the knowledge Long Xiaotian taught you?" asked Bao Erhu curiously.
The story was becoming increasingly absurd, but Long Xiao had no choice but to continue weaving it, otherwise, he would be exposed.
"Of course I can remember. Don't you people know there's a method of transferring memories called '灌顶' (guàndǐng, or 'topping')?"
"Are you saying that Long Xiaotian taught you a vast amount of knowledge through 'topping'?" asked Lu Tianzhi.
Long Xiao nodded and said, "Yes, he taught me through topping. I actually hadn't recalled this knowledge before. I only started remembering it recently."
