Controlling the Five Thunders and the Two Worlds

Chapter 527 Shock from Abroad

Zheng Hongsheng and the others left the Taoist Studies Institute satisfied.

Both parties have agreed that the Academy of Space Technology will first carry out the design, planning, and construction of the lunar base.

Once everything is ready, as long as the Academic Research Institute is notified, the old Taoist priest stationed there will take the storage gourd to the relevant location and land on the moon with the equipment and personnel.

In the future, if we need to bring anything to the moon or bring people down from the moon, we can just call the research institute.

Strictly speaking, the old Taoist priest stationed at the Taoist Research Institute is like a truck driver who is also responsible for loading and unloading goods.

"This feels so lacking in technical skill!" Yun Yang said, scratching his head.

“But it’s actually the most technically demanding!” Yun Wenbin affirmed.

After seeing Zheng Hongsheng and the others off, Yun Yang pulled Gu Zhao aside and said, "All of my fellow disciples are either going to Jiangbei to exorcise demons, or to the southern border to slay monsters, or to Shanzhou and Yuezhou to uphold justice. Only I am left here on a business trip."

"We're still a long way from landing on the moon, when are you going to take me back?"

"What's the rush? Your senior uncles are all busy. You're always wandering around outside, so stay a few more days this time." Gu Zhao said quietly, "Are you in such a hurry to go back because you're eager to go out and cultivate, or because you're eager to see Hu Yufei?"

Yun Yang glared at him and said, "Don't slander me! Yu Fei and I are just friends!"

"Relax, relax!" Gu Zhao patted Yun Yang's shoulder. "Since that's the case, there's no rush. Distance makes the heart grow fonder, and time makes the heart grow fonder. Let's wait a little longer."

Yun Yang was speechless. "If you're so capable, why don't you go back to Blue Star and not look for Xiao Ya and Jiang Shishi!"

Then Gu Zhao received a call from Jiang Shishi, "We're going to have roast duck for lunch, do you want to come?"

"Come! Of course I'll come!" Gu Zhao nodded immediately, then hung up the phone and vanished in a flash.

Yun Yang, "I'm fucking..."

……

Just as Gu Zhao and Xiao Ya were eating roast duck, Eileen was woken up by the ringing of the phone while still half asleep.

"Hey?"

"You guys are eating hot pot on the moon?!"

Lawrence's voice came through the phone, tinged with a twisted envy and disbelief.

"Huh?" Eileen regained a little more consciousness. "Yes!"

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone. Lawrence was speechless. "Do you really think this is so natural?"

"Otherwise what?" Eileen retorted. "Didn't I tell you yesterday?"

After returning home last night, Eileen, after the initial shock and excitement, called Lawrence and told him about being taken to the moon by Gu Zhao.

However, Lawrence wasn't a professional, and given that there had been instances of Daoist superhumans going to the moon to collect lunar rocks and soil before, he didn't take this matter too seriously.

At most, I'm happy that Eileen and Gu Zhao have a better relationship, which will make the Lawrence family more valuable in terms of political maneuvering in the United States and safer in terms of their retreat in China.

Moreover, he was at an event with a famous model in his arms at the time, so he hung up the phone in a hurry.

Unexpectedly, after a long and deep sleep during the event, he was hurriedly woken up by a phone call and then participated in the Superpower Bureau meeting via video, where he saw the video sent by Zhang Hang.

Even if Lawrence is unprofessional, he still has common sense.

Why aren't you wearing spacesuits?

"How do you withstand cosmic rays and extreme temperatures?"

How do you breathe?

How do you light the portable gas stoves you use when you eat hot pot?

"you……"

Lawrence asked a series of questions. Eileen checked the time; her sleepiness had mostly dissipated. She took her phone to the bathroom, turned on speakerphone, and spoke while washing up.

"Because Gu Zhao protected us, he even has the ability to fly to the moon, so how could he not protect us from cosmic rays and extreme temperatures?"

"A bio-force field similar to Superman's?"

"Then I don't know." Eileen opened her toothbrush, squeezed out toothpaste, and started brushing her teeth, so she spoke somewhat hesitantly.

"What are you doing?" Lawrence's eyes lit up. "Could it be that Mr. Gu... is with you?"

"What are you thinking!" Eileen snapped. "I'm brushing my teeth!"

“Alright.” Lawrence’s tone immediately sombered, and he said with great regret, “But can a bio-field really produce oxygen?”

“No, that’s not it.” Eileen shook her head. “Gu Zhao just gave each of us a spatial device, which contains enough air for an entire large square, enough for our breathing needs during our lunar travels.”

Eileen was very clear about her position; what Gu Zhao showed her was all she could say.

If he encounters something he can't say, he will remind himself.

Lawrence's eyes lit up again. "He gave it to you?"

“I gave it back to him,” Eileen said irritably. “How dare you covet such a treasure?”

After returning to Earth, without Gu Zhao even having to say anything, they all returned the storage bottles to him.

They haven't cultivated the true Qi of the Daoist sect, so they can't use this storage magic treasure. If they keep it in their hands and the news leaks out, it will only attract the covetousness of people with ulterior motives.

"Hehe..." Lawrence chuckled awkwardly, then changed the subject, "What else did you guys do on the moon? Does Gu Zhao have any other extraordinary abilities?"

"He built a Taoist temple in less than three hours," Eileen said casually.

“I saw it. How did he do it?” Lawrence asked.

“Remote operation,” Eileen replied.

Lawrence understood immediately, "Telekinesis!"

Eileen, "..."

"Pretty much," Eileen sighed.

After studying Tianxia's traditional culture for these days, Eileen knew that this was all internal energy, which, in a concept that Westerners could understand, should actually be called "qi".

However, from a Western perspective, the Eastern concept of "qi" is clearly not capable of such precise control, so the first thing that comes to mind is telekinesis.

Eileen was too lazy to explain.

Even his own brother still harbored a deep-seated sense of superiority stemming from the West, a sense of superiority born from the West's sustained dominance over the past three or four centuries.

If one doesn't live on this land for a long time, even if they learn about its changes online, it's hard to shake off this innate sense of superiority.

But the changes in this land have far exceeded the imagination of ordinary people.

Even without those Taoist superhumans, this country had already transformed. The abundance of material and spiritual life awakened the pride of a great power that had been buried in their blood for thousands of years.

On one hand, there is the sense of superiority brought about by a three or four hundred years of modern leadership; on the other hand, there is the great power arrogance that has been reawakened after a thousand years.

With neither side willing to back down, a clash is inevitable.

Eileen only hoped that her family would not be annihilated in this collision.

and so……

Eileen asked, "When will the family move all its assets and wealth to Tianxia?"

Lawrence:? ? ?
