Chapter 165 Original Contribution Points

House arrest is the best invention of mankind and a great innovation in political development.

Just a soft word separates it from imprisonment, making people feel that it is a very civilized method-although people under house arrest are the same as those who are imprisoned, they cannot have any new influence on the outside world, although being under house arrest The pain suffered by the poor is no less than that of the imprisoned, but it can bring the good name of benevolence to the superior.

Historically, Kangxi was the one who liked to use this tactic the most. Obai basically wailed to death, and most of his sons also failed in the race against time.Yongzheng inherited this fine tradition and kept a few people he didn't like very much at home, and they never went out again.

In modern times, the most famous person under house arrest is General Zhang Xueliang. From his twenties to over a hundred years old, living a long time does not mean that the life inside is comfortable.Perhaps in a real prison, chatting with scammers and fighting with insane people is more interesting.

Cheng Jinzhou didn't think too much about it. He only knew that it was not convenient for him to torture and kill Hou Wenwu, but he also couldn't let him bluff around outside. The outer peninsula seemed to be a very good place to be exiled.Even an ordinary astrologer apprentice would not care about the state of mind of an important court official.

Living in the world of astrology practitioners near the capital, they are out of tune with the worldly world. Once they enter this place and see the magic of astrology, very few people are willing to return to the group of ordinary people. An opportunity to become a three-star warlock, and that also means a long life, an enviable status.Even if the wish does not come true, if one leaves the peninsula after middle age, one can still find a place in the family of a small noble family and receive respect and good courtesy.

Compared with Wu Zong and others hired by Cheng's family, the astrologists in the outer peninsula are as proud as the students in key middle schools.

Several servants rudely stuffed the noble knights into the small courtyard. The good treatment Hou Wenwu received was only that his arms were not bruised.

Staying in the small square sky, Hou Wenwu looked at Cheng Jinzhou with resentful eyes and said word by word: "Don't let me out, otherwise..."

"Otherwise, so what?" Cheng Jinzhou's eyes flashed murderous intent. He committed suicide himself, so the so-called sense of fear and moral cleanliness were naturally much less.

Hou Wenwu snorted heavily, pretending to laugh and said: "A two-star warlock is not qualified to cover the sky with one hand. Someone will come to save us. I am a senior official, I am a senior official..."

He growled louder and louder, wanting to be heard by everyone.

Cheng Jinzhou sneered and said, "You are a level 7 official."

Hou Wenwu's cry slowly stopped. Level 7 officials are quasi-senior officials. It is very remarkable to have such an achievement at the age of more than [-] years old, but after all, they are not senior officials - if they are not senior officials, there will be no sedan carried by eight people; if they are not senior officials, there will be no three horses. carriage; if he is not a senior official, there is no reason for the political hall to ask for information from the Star Warlock Association...

Cheng Jinzhou waved to Hou Wenwu and left the courtyard with a smile.

He didn't expect to imprison Hou Wenwu for a lifetime, after all, a perverted young man like Kangxi couldn't be trained by socialism.But locking him up for two or three months is also considered a very interesting thing.

……

After all the gentlemen from the imperial court disappeared from the Star Warlock Tower, Star Warlock Liu Kuang returned stepping on colorful auspicious clouds, and Star Warlock An Feng was also with him.

They didn't seem to know what happened at all, except that An Feng Star Warlock's face became more stern, nothing changed.

Cheng Jinzhou greeted the two with a smile.

Warlock Liu Kuangxing responded with a smile, and then returned to his room. Cheng Jinzhou and Warlock An Feng were left.

The latter stared at Cheng Jinzhou for a moment, then whispered "good luck guy".

Cheng Jinzhou didn't hear clearly, he stretched his neck and asked, "Why?"

An Feng Star Warlock shook his head, and said instead: "I heard that you are making a big splash in the church, congratulations."

He said congratulations, but his expression was the same as usual, and the smile on the corner of his mouth still continued the reservedness of the star warlock.

In any case, the Holy Church can still survive in the fierce competition environment, such as the members of the association of Anfeng Star Warlock, etc., all pay too much attention to their social status, and forget the position of leader—moreover, it is very Strong astrology ability is the basis for leading astronomy practitioners, but strong astrology ability may not necessarily be linked to leadership ability. For the association, it may be another difficult life-long problem to solve.

Father Li Zhong laughed, but he wished he could lift his jaw away and imitate the white lady in kissing.

"Thank you Anfeng Star Warlock for your concern." Cheng Jinzhou exchanged pleasantries unwillingly, most of the life-wasting campaigns started with nonsense.

An Feng sighed secretly, took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to him, "This is a new mail from that friend."

"Okay." Cheng Jinzhou took the letter and put it in his pocket without looking at it carefully, feeling a little amused in his heart.In his opinion, it would be good for the letter to go through the communication star array and send it directly to himself. Every time the letter is changed hands by An Feng Astromancer or his apprentice Astromancer, it somewhat reminds people of spying on privacy.

Xiao Cheng didn't know that the star array that can communicate from the extreme west to Daxia is not an ordinary commodity.

An Fengxing Warlock didn't know what he was thinking, stared at Cheng Jinzhou for a moment and said, "Recently, you will live in the outer peninsula, right?"

"That's right." Cheng Jinzhou smiled. It's a good idea to avoid the limelight on the outer peninsula before going back.He is not worried about things like crimes and family members. Not only can astrologers and His Majesty not urinate together, but the aristocratic family and the royal family do not use the same golden toilet.

After a simple answer, the two of them seemed to have nothing to say.

An Fengxing Warlock is also not good at finding topics. If it is in front of other people, those people may have prepared a lot of topics to chat with, and most of them will be of interest to him.But Cheng Jinzhou's reaction in this regard was much slower. Even if he was reborn through time travel, it could not increase his own little social experience.

After a long time, An Feng Star Warlock talked about the purpose of this trip, and said in a soft voice: "I know that the Holy Church should have set a lot of conditions for you, but I hope that you can postpone making them. Church's decision."

He and Warlock Liu Kuangxing wanted to win over Cheng Jinzhou a long time ago, but Xiao Cheng never made up his mind.Therefore, An Feng didn't expect to draw Cheng Jinzhou to his side with just a few words.However, even though An Feng, Liu Kuang, and Jiang Huang were powerful among the star warlocks in Daxia, they still had one nostril when facing the Holy Church.

Cheng Jinzhou was very surprised at his request, and couldn't help asking: "Why?"

In such a case, asking why is itself a strange thing to do.

If he had invited an ordinary astromancer, An Feng might have left long ago.However, the news from the holy church contained words such as the so-called "God's Blessed One". The young people who had never been to the headquarters of the Astromancers did not know the meaning, but he and Liu Kuang knew it clearly.

Therefore, An Feng patiently explained: "Star Warlocks will always be the home of Star Warlocks, a free country. In the future, you will definitely become a three-star warlock. Four-star warlocks are also very likely. In this way, you There will be a great opportunity to go to the Astromancer Association, where you will know what freedom is, what astrology is, and the star array that can increase lifespan..."

As he talked, it seemed that he was really fascinated...

Cheng Jinzhou said "Oh" and ended with the most common exclamation.He was not impressed at all.

An Feng also heard his disapproval, and couldn't help but smile wryly in his heart. After thinking for a while, he came up with the final condition and said: "You are around the capital, and you have encroached on a lot of government property, right?"

"There is a little bit. I will pay it back soon." Cheng Jinzhou has no shame. He is not the only one who is short of money and robs the bank. He is like a superman who soars into the sky after eating a few hot dogs for nothing. How natural This is the reason why the law does not blame the public.

An Feng smiled, and asked again: "You rented 15 mu of land from Warlock Cao Fengxing at a low price, and you also want to do experiments?"

"Yes." Cheng Jinzhou's momentum dropped suddenly. The land cannot be returned immediately, not to mention the large area of ​​real rice, which is very valuable for promotion.

"You should know that the explosion in Louqingfang and the warehouse of the household department were all suppressed by the Astrologer Association for you." In fact, Astrologer An Feng was very reluctant to say this, giving him the feeling that such a Doing it is too obvious, too inconsistent with one's own identity.

However, he couldn't say anything else.If it is a normal astromancer, it is okay to say that everyone needs a variety of experimental materials, experimental equipment, and the cooperation of astromancer apprentices and even astromancers. Some people want to consult high-end materials, and even go to the astromancer association to learn , All these things have increased the cohesion of the Star Warlock Association.Cheng Jinzhou is a weirdo, he rarely goes to the association's archives, almost does not need the cooperation of other astrologists, quietly researches problems alone, and does not even actively publish results reports...

If Xiao Cheng knew that he was regarded as a Fermat-like figure, he would definitely jump up for joy—that is a miracle that can sweep the Chinese mathematics world—but now, he just responded indifferently: "Thank you, Ann! Wind Star Warlock."

Warlock An Feng stared at him deeply and said, "If you have any requirements, just come to me, don't rush to make a decision."

Then, he pointed to the envelope in Cheng Jinzhou's hand, and said: "The content you mentioned in the letter last time, the other party has already published it on the "Journal of the World" of the Astromancer Association for you. There are original contributions."

Cheng Jinzhou raised his eyebrows slightly, but didn't say anything more.

An Feng Star Warlock was a little disappointed.Original contribution point is a review meeting organized by the Astromancer Association, which rewards original achievements. The original contribution points of each article range from 1 to 5 points. It is said that it is related to the qualification to use the special star array of the Astromancer Association However, if Cheng Jinzhou is interested in this, he doesn't mind exerting influence.
