Siheyuan: Tathagata's Palm suppresses the entire courtyard!

"Qiuye, look here, these old buildings may hide more secrets." Xu Mingjie stopped and pointed at the block.

"Yes, maybe we can find some clues here." Ran Qiuye nodded.

The two decided to go back first and come back here to investigate the next day. After returning home, Xu Mingjie turned on the computer and began to organize the information they had collected. Ran Qiuye was flipping through those ancient books, trying to find more clues.

"Mingjie, here is an old map with many places marked on it that we didn't notice before." Ran Qiuye suddenly said with surprise.

"Let me see." Xu Mingjie leaned over and looked at the yellowed map, a hint of excitement flashing in his eyes, "These may be the places we need to investigate."

The next morning, Xu Mingjie and Ran Qiuye came to the old neighborhood with a map. They walked and compared the map and found some marks hidden in the old buildings.

"Here, there is a secret door here." Ran Qiuye said, pointing to an inconspicuous corner of the wall.

Xu Mingjie walked over and felt the wall with his hands, and indeed found a loose brick. He carefully removed the brick, revealing a small secret door.

"Let's go in and take a look." Xu Mingjie pushed the secret door open with force, revealing a narrow passage inside.

The passage was very dark, and the air was filled with a musty smell. They turned on their flashlights and walked in carefully. At the end of the passage was a small room filled with various ancient objects and documents.

"These things look very important." Ran Qiuye flipped through the documents, excitement gleaming in his eyes.

One day, Xu Mingjie and Ran Qiuye were standing on the construction site. The sun was shining brightly, and the workers were busy. The scene was bustling with activity.

"Mingjie, we did it." Ran Qiuye said with emotion.

"Yes, Qiuye, we did it." Xu Mingjie said with a smile.

They stood on a high place, overlooking the entire construction site, with their hearts filled with a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction.

"This is just the beginning. We will have more projects in the future. Let's work hard together." Xu Mingjie said.

"Well, let's work hard together." Ran Qiuye nodded.

In this process, Xu Mingjie and Ran Qiuye's friendship deepened. They understood that only by unity and cooperation can they overcome all difficulties and move towards a better future.

On a sunny weekend, Xu Mingjie and Lin Yuwei took a walk in the park together, enjoying their rare leisure time. Lin Yuwei held Xu Mingjie's hand, with a happy smile on her face.

"Mingjie, you have worked hard during this period." Lin Yuwei said softly.

Xu Mingjie stood at the door of his house, holding the key tightly in his hand, and hesitated for a moment. Ran Qiuye's sudden appearance and the letter made him uneasy, and he couldn't predict what would happen next. The warm light from the house and Lin Yuwei's gentle smile calmed him down a little. He took a deep breath and opened the door.

"You're back," Lin Yuwei poked her head out of the kitchen, holding a handful of freshly washed vegetables, "How was your day?"

"It's okay." Xu Mingjie forced a smile, hung up his coat, walked into the living room and sat down.

Lin Yuwei put down the food, walked over and sat next to him, looking at his face carefully, "You look a little tired, is there something bothering you?"

Xu Mingjie shook his head and held her hand. "Nothing, just some small things at work."

Lin Yuwei knew that he didn't want to talk more, so she didn't ask any more questions. "Okay, dinner will be ready soon, you can take a rest first."

Xu Mingjie nodded, and looking at her busy back, he felt a warm feeling in his heart. Although there were many problems to be solved outside, as long as he returned home and saw Lin Yuwei, he felt that everything was not so bad.

The next morning, Xu Mingjie packed his luggage and prepared to go to see Ran Qiuye. Before he left, he gently kissed Lin Yuwei who was still asleep, "Yuwei, I have to deal with some things and may be back late."

Lin Yuwei nodded in a half-asleep state, "Be careful on the road, and remember to tell me if anything happens."

Xu Mingjie felt warm in his heart and said softly, "Don't worry."

He drove to the city where Ran Qiuye was, and along the way, fragments of the past kept flashing through his mind. He and Ran Qiuye were once the best partners, but a dispute over a project caused them to part ways. He didn't know what kind of situation he would face when they met this time.

Arriving in the city where Ran Qiuye was, Xu Mingjie went straight to his office. This was a slightly old office building, and the sign at the door had faded a bit. After registering at the front desk, Xu Mingjie took the elevator to the third floor.

Standing at the door of Ran Qiuye's office, he hesitated again. Although he had many questions in his mind, he didn't want to disturb Ran Qiuye's work. In the end, he decided to knock on the door.

"Come in." Ran Qiuye's voice came from inside the door, still with a bit of indifference.

Xu Mingjie pushed the door open and saw Ran Qiuye busy in front of the computer. He looked thinner than before, with a hint of fatigue in his eyes.

"Ran Qiuye, long time no see." Xu Mingjie tried his best to make his voice sound calm.

Ran Qiuye looked up at him and smiled, "Xu Mingjie, it's been a long time. Please take a seat."

Xu Mingjie sat down and looked around. Although the office was simple, it was neatly arranged. "How have you been recently?"

Ran Qiuye shrugged, "Not bad. How about you? It seems that you have a successful career."

"That's all, just busy." Xu Mingjie smiled bitterly, "Let's talk business. What exactly does the letter you sent me mean?"

Ran Qiuye was silent for a while, then sighed, "Xu Mingjie, I'm actually in some trouble now and I need your help."

"What's the trouble?" Xu Mingjie frowned. "Just tell me. I'll do my best if I can help."

Ran Qiuye took out a document and handed it to him. "This is a project for the renovation of the old city. I need your design ability and support. This project is very important to me. If it succeeds, I can get rid of my current predicament."

Xu Mingjie flipped through the documents, which were detailed and complex, requiring extremely high design and execution capabilities. "This project does have great potential, but why did you choose me?"

Ran Qiuye looked at him with a firm look in her eyes, "Because you are the best architect I have ever met. I know we have had conflicts in the past, but this time I hope we can put the past aside and work together."

Xu Mingjie thought for a moment and finally nodded in agreement, "Okay, I will help you. But there is one condition."
