Chapter 285 An Old Friend Returns
After fiddling with the various succulents that Huo Ling had carefully tended for a while, Cheng Feng reluctantly returned upstairs.
After calming his turbulent emotions, Cheng Feng began to review the Perfect Memory Inheritance Method in his mind.
After more than ten minutes, Cheng Feng breathed a sigh of relief.
"It seems that the research institute only has one direction left to explore."
This perfect method of skill inheritance is actually an improvement on the method by which the black-haired snake stores memories.
Following this method, a black-haired snake could be used as a bridge to transfer a person's memories into another body.
The only limitation is that the body whose memories are transferred should ideally be a blank slate.
If the paper is already full of writing, it will cause the memories of the two to overlap.
It will be hard to say whether Zhuangzi dreamt of being a butterfly or the butterfly dreamt of being Zhuangzi.
"I'll consider replicating this method when I have a computer. Just thinking about writing it by hand gives me a headache."
Even Cheng Feng had to rack his brains for over ten minutes to come up with this method.
If we were to record it completely in writing, the text alone would require several hundred gigabytes of storage.
Cheng Feng even felt that keeping it in his head was actually quite good.
The second group returned three days later. As soon as they got back, they brought Wang Wenxuan to report to Cheng Feng.
Cheng Feng gave these brothers who had worked hard for two years a long vacation, and of course, he was generous with their money.
The elite disciples didn't care about money, but their underlings were very excited.
Clearly, the reward Cheng Feng offered far exceeded their expectations.
The most fundamental principle of controlling a force is to have clear rewards and punishments; only in this way can a force have cohesion.
Even Wang Wenxuan and Cheng Feng gave him a considerable sum of money.
However, he took back the gold ingot that he had once placed in Wang Wenxuan's hands. It wasn't that he was reluctant to part with it, but Cheng Feng was not at ease leaving it in Wang Wenxuan's possession.
If it were to fall into the hands of a spendthrift descendant and lose the gold ingot, the theft of Genghis Khan's tomb might be exposed.
After settling these trivial matters, Cheng Feng began to collect information about Tamutuo.
Tamutuo is located in the Qaidam Basin, not far from Golmud.
This was part of the reason why Cheng Feng chose to station himself in Golmud, but Tamutuo could only be entered during heavy rain.
Previously, Cheng Feng had free time when it wasn't the rainy season, but as the rainy season approached, problems arose one after another.
Therefore, the task of eliminating the Snake Swamp Demon Realm has been put on hold until now.
The trip to Gutongjing and Genghis Khan's Mausoleum ended just as the rainy season was approaching, so Cheng Feng began preparing to go to the Snake Swamp and Ghost Realm.
Tamutuo is located northwest of Golmud, less than 500 kilometers away as the crow flies. If you drive on the highway, you can arrive at the same time if you leave early in the morning.
However, the area around Tamtuo is surrounded by a vast desert, so the travel time is uncertain.
Moreover, getting into Tamutuo really depends on luck. If it doesn't rain for ten days or half a month, even Cheng Feng can only watch helplessly.
That evening, while Cheng Feng's family was having dinner, the long-abandoned Golmud Sanatorium welcomed another guest.
He nimbly scaled the fence of the Golmud Sanatorium and then, under the cover of darkness, entered the Golmud Sanatorium, which resembled a haunted house.
The next day, we went to Changshengzhai, which was located near the train station.
The guy opened the door early in the morning, yawning, and was then startled.
There was a young man with a stern face standing straight outside the door, holding an old draft paper in his hand.
"Friend, why are you standing outside my Changshengzhai so early in the morning? What brings you here?"
The waiter composed himself, then frowned and asked.
The newcomer didn't speak, but simply handed the draft paper in his hand to the waiter.
The man took the paper, completely bewildered, but his eyes widened instantly when he saw the handwriting on it.
He then said in a deep voice, "Distinguished guests, please have a seat inside for a moment. I will go and contact the chief."
That's right, the person who came was none other than the Northern Mute, one of the most notorious tomb raiders in the world, the Silent One in Wu Xie's words, Chen Wenjin's partner, and the patriarch of the Zhang family in this generation, Zhang Qiling.
Zhang Qiling travels from Guangxi to Motuo in Tibet in search of his lost memories.
Later, through various clues, the location where the underwater tomb archaeological team was imprisoned was found.
That's why this trip to Golmud came about.
Unexpectedly, after entering Golmud last night, he found no clues about his teammates, but instead discovered a note left for him.
Therefore, after leaving the sanatorium, Zhang Qiling stood silently outside the gate of Changshengzhai.
It wasn't until this morning when the waiter opened the door that he discovered this clueless idiot who didn't know how to knock.
Cheng Feng received the news half an hour later.
Then Cheng Feng had his disciples drive his car to pick up Xiao Ge, and at the same time he sent someone to inform Chen Wenjin and Huo Ling.
When old acquaintances visit, they should come back to see them.
A dozen minutes later, Chen Wenjin and Huo Ling returned home together.
At this moment, Cheng Feng was sitting on the sofa, holding a book that recorded the legend of Tamutuo.
"Old Cheng, what happened that made you so eager to bring us back?"
After sitting down on either side of Cheng Feng, the two women spoke.
Cheng Feng put down his book and said with a smile:
“We have some acquaintances visiting later, and I think you should meet them.”
"acquaintance?"
Both women were somewhat puzzled, but Huo Ling quickly became unhappy.
"Stop keeping us in suspense, boss. Tell us quickly, who's coming? It can't be Wu Sansheng, can it?"
Cheng Feng pinched Huo Ling in an annoyed tone and said:
"Pah, if he dares to come, I'll have him beaten up. As for who comes, you'll find out in a bit."
Seeing Cheng Feng's determination to become the riddle solver, the two women began to condemn him.
He was determined to make Cheng Feng get rid of this bad habit.
But this time Cheng Feng was determined, and even after a full twenty minutes of tugging, he did not give in.
Just as Huo Ling was about to unleash her ultimate move, the sound of a car came from outside.
"The person has arrived. Let's go out and greet them; they are guests, after all!"
Then Cheng Feng got up and led the two women out of the house.
When the three opened the door, they saw the young man open the car door and get out of the car.
"Long time no see, Zhang Qiling!"
When the deliveryman approached, Chen Wenjin greeted his former teammate with a smile.
"Zhang Qiling, do you still remember us? Have you lost your memory again?"
Seeing Zhang Qiling's blank expression, Huo Ling spoke with some concern.
At this moment, Zhang Qiling shook his head and uttered two words in a cold tone:
"remember."
Cheng Feng felt a strange sense of emotion. It was no wonder that female fans of BL (Boys' Love) in later generations were obsessed with evil spirits. Little Brother talked much more when he was with Wu Xie than when he was with others.
"Let's go inside first, don't just stand there like idiots at the door."
Leading Zhang Qiling to the living room and sitting him on the sofa, Chen Wenjin began to ask Zhang Qiling what he had experienced after the underwater tomb.
