Chapter 142: Drawing Talismans, Racing, Borrowing Helicopters (Large Chapter)
The Lake Heart Pavilion is a stone pavilion built right in the center of the entire Artificial Lake.
As Boss Tang's financial resources and influence expanded, not only did the area of Tang Manor double, but the area of this Artificial Lake also expanded significantly.
Surrounded by lotus flowers, the lake water rippled. In the pavilion stood a Stone Statue of a Bixi, with the head of a dragon and the body of a turtle, over three meters tall, carrying a Stone Stele.
The Bixi's four feet were connected to the pavilion structure. Its dragon head's dragon eyes were slightly closed, and between its opening and closing dragon mouth, a lotus platform carved from jade could faintly be seen.
The Han white jade Stone Stele carried by the Bixi was inscribed with hundreds of characters in Bird-Beast Script, faintly gleamed with golden light under the sunlight.
Bixi, the eighth son of the Ancient True Dragon's nine sons, also known as Baxia, Ao, Guifu, or Tianxia, resembles a turtle in appearance and is good at bearing heavy loads. It is often used to serve as the base for steles.
However, Bixi steles were generally erected by ancient people to commemorate deceased emperors and sages, singing their praises.
Huge steles were often placed on the Bixi's back, implying that its divine power would ensure they lasted forever, for thousands of years.
But this Bixi statue carrying a stele, judging from its form, seemed intended more for suppression than for commemoration.
Beside the Bixi Stone Statue, on a round stone table carved entirely from green jade, Tang Song held his Jade Handle Talisman Brush and wrote with swift, flowing strokes on a small emerald jade tablet the size of a peace talisman.
The Jade Handle Talisman Brush was drawing talismans in the void three feet above the emerald jade tablet. Spirit marks flickered in the air like streams of light.
The spirit marks outlined and formed Bird-Beast Script runes in mid-air.
These runes arranged, combined, and intersected in the void, gradually forming a three-dimensional restriction array.
Tang Song pressed his talisman brush downwards. Spiritual light in mid-air flickered, and a wall-sized restriction array was pressed directly into the small emerald jade tablet by his brush, like a wisp of smoke.
The emerald jade tablet, which originally symbolized peace and safety and had smooth surfaces, now had countless earthy yellow patterns on it, as if they had grown naturally from the stone.
The emerald jade tablet, which was originally icy with green, instantly turned completely earthy yellow, looking extremely unremarkable.
"Take this to Iceland and give it to Frank!"
Tang Song put down his talisman brush, picked up the emerald jade tablet, examined it, placed it in a Wooden Box, and handed it to the Black-clothed Bodyguard who had been waiting silently nearby.
"Yes, Boss!"
The Black-clothed Bodyguard carefully took the Wooden Box, opened the silver briefcase beside him, placed it properly inside, then bowed to Tang Song, picked up the briefcase, and turned to walk towards the Lakeside.
On the Lake Surface, a Stone Arch Bridge spanned the lake from one side of the pavilion, leading directly to the Manor's Long Corridor.
"Phew! Boss, although I know you can do this kind of amazing magic, it's still shocking every time I see it!"
While Tang Song was drawing talismans, Skye and Fox sat on the long bench by the stone pavilion, not daring to breathe heavily.
It wasn't until Tang Song finished drawing talismans and sent the Black-clothed Bodyguard away that Skye patted her chest and exhaled dramatically, saying.
"Stop flattering me. You're the first person to cultivate the Great Yin-Yang Joyous Union Scripture with me. Now Fox has already channeled Qi through a hundred meridians, while you're still stuck in the Entry Stage. You're truly incorrigible!"
Tang Song glanced at Skye, flicked his hand, and the thick Blood Ink on the Jade Talisman Brush, like golden liquid, fell back into the Inkstone.
"It's not because you, Boss, don't teach well. By the way, I heard that you met a Baroness in Antarctica. Boss, are you interested in someone else's..."
"By the way, has Professor Gu left?" Tang Song looked at Skye, who was full of resentment, and quickly changed the subject, putting down his talisman brush and casually splashing the Blood Ink from the Inkstone into the lake.
The Blood Ink fell into the lake water and did not float on the surface but sank straight to the bottom like metal beads.
"He's already gone!" Fox pulled Skye to the Long Table in front of Tang Song and helped him tidy up the tools for drawing talismans: the brushes and ink, the Inkstone, and the layers of Xuan paper underneath.
"It's a bit of a shame. I really wanted to see that cunning little girl cry!"
Tang Song didn't actually go to see the scene of Professor Gu and Gu Zi Yun, father and daughter, reuniting and crying together, and there was no need to peek with his Divine Sense.
One reason Gu Zi Yun is still alive is partly because her appearance suits his taste.
Another reason is that as his cultivation improved day by day, Boss Tang was also sorting through the memories of his previous life, especially after discovering that this was a composite world.
It's possible that someday a powerful figure he doesn't recognize might appear.
When Sloan brought Gu Zi Yun back to the Manor, he thought of this girl's identity.
"The Witch", Tang Song remembered this movie. Gu Zi Yun, this cunning loli, is highly intelligent, ruthless, and decisive in her actions! And she has the Adoptive Parent as a weakness.
Compared to those pedantic Superheroes, she is a talented person! And very malleable. This is also the reason Tang Song didn't use the Heart Demon Great Curse but used a different Restriction Formation to control her.
However, only a few people can enter the core of his small group. As for whether Gu Zi Yun is capable, it depends on her performance.
After tidying up the things on the table, Tang Song patted Fox and Skye's... well...
"There's an Antique Car Competition in Morocco in a couple of days. It should be quite interesting. I'll take you to Morocco to relax!"
Hearing Tang Song's words, Skye cheered and pounced on him, wrapping her beautiful legs directly around his waist...
.........
"The Morocco Antique Car Competition, held in five days, has reached a historical high for the first-place Bonus amount, totaling twenty million US Dollars, thanks to the Sponsorship of Stark Industries! At the same time, the President of Stark Industries, the sponsor of this competition, our Iron Man, Mr. Tony Stark, is also said to be personally participating in this competition with his beloved Car.
He left a message on his social Account, welcoming Racers from all over the world to challenge him.
Of course, we hope Mr. Stark's definition of an antique car isn't just his old Iron Suit / Armor..."
On the Tablet Television hanging in the Bar, an entertainment news host was talking eloquently.
Looking at the blonde, large-breasted female host, Xincha felt a surge of heat inside. He took a big gulp of the wine in his glass.
"Twenty million US Dollars, Morocco Antique Car Competition! What the hell, why isn't it held in New York!"
However, if it's really like the television says, he might be able to find a few Racers in the Underground Street Racing scene to try their luck.
Xincha calculated the Racers he had on hand. During this time, because he had gained the favor of several big bosses, Xincha was thriving in the Underground Street Racing world.
He had organized several large Underground Racing Competitions and made a fortune from the betting.
