Chapter 155 Puppets, Stone Carvings and Bronze Statues(1/2)
Tingchao Pavilion has twelve floors.
The top floor is for viewing, and the second floor is the daily residence of the big boss.
Xie Qi walked into the ninth floor. This floor was covered with wooden boards and there were no other messy decorations. Apart from the faint fragrance, there was only a cushion and a square table in the middle.
A pot of tea and a pot of wine on the table.
The rich boss sat cross-legged at this time, pinching the teacup in his hand, and slowly shaking.
"Big Boss."
Xie Qi bowed slightly, glanced at the end of his eyes and saw a few ancient copper plates falling on the table.
He remembered that these copper plates were bought by the big boss for a large sum of money, and they were held in their hands every day, and they were smooth and smooth.
"Um."
The boss shook the teacup, slightly lost his mind, not knowing what he was thinking.
Xie Qi waited patiently for a while, and saw that he was still stunned, so he had to speak carefully:
"You have divined again? How about this hexagram?"
"This hexagram..."
Hearing this, the boss raised his head and thought:
"Lao Qi, you said, am I not suitable for divination?"
You finally understand!
Xie Qi almost blurted out.
He really couldn't understand this hobby of the boss. He didn't believe in the so-called divination at all, especially he had never calculated it correctly.
Occasionally, if it works several times, it will be a good fortune, but the business will be in trouble. Either the goods are intercepted or the ship is overturned.
The last time I made a fortune, but in the end, Yang Yu cleaned up and lost all the businesses invested in money.
But he still didn't dare to say it, pinched his nose and said:
"You still have talent..."
"Well? I think so too."
The boss nodded in agreement.
"……you."
Xie Qi's eyelids twitched wildly, and he finally couldn't help it: "Big Boss, why do you believe in this?"
He really couldn't figure it out.
Their big boss is meticulous and has been engaged in business for many years and has a huge net worth. It is not only Mulin Mansion and Qingzhou, but also businesses are spread throughout the three states of Longyuan Road.
Although he is not famous, he is extremely powerful.
But it was such a great master who believed in these Taoist priests and alchemists' tricks that made him puzzled.
"You don't understand..."
The boss laughed silently, but had no intention of answering, just shook his head:
"I believe in this, of course there is my reason. You think I am losing my ambition because you are short-sighted."
"Then, what's the reason?"
Xie Qi was completely speechless.
Every time I mention this, the boss will always criticize him.
"It's nothing to talk about."
The big boss put away the copper plate on the desk and played with it on his fingertips: "Lao Qi, look at how old the boss is?"
"Um?"
Xie Qi was slightly stunned:
"Aren't you sixty-three?"
"I've already got one hundred and one hundred this year!"
The boss smiled slightly.
He has a rich appearance, fair skin, and his hair is neatly combed, without a trace of white hair.
"This, how is this possible?"
Xie Qi was a little stunned.
Except for some warriors who have practiced physically harmful martial arts, most warriors still have a longer lifespan than ordinary people.
It is said that the oldest martial saint, "Feng Qitian", is nearly 200 years old and can be called a living god.
But even if you have the ability to keep your face, you shouldn't be like this if you are a hundred years old.
"You, you don't know much about this world."
The boss put down the teacup and smiled faintly:
"My parents and grandparents are both people who worship Taoism. I was influenced by the eyes and eyes. When I was very young, I was very interested in the legendary magic of immortals and gods. In the 13th year, I was encouraged to carry my luggage and went to search for immortals and visit Taoism..."
"Looking for immortals and seeking the Tao?"
Xie Qi's heart was slightly shocked.
After contacting the boss before, I couldn't help but feel shocked: "Have you really found the immortal?"
He did not believe in searching for immortals and seeking the Tao.
In ancient times, are there few people who searched for immortals and visited the Tao?
According to historical records, the Qin Emperor, who was most keen on seeking immortals and seeking Taoism, seemed to have not survived fifty years...
"At that time, I felt that I was different. If Emperor Qin could not find it, I might not be able to find it. But as soon as I left the city, I regretted it. I almost lost my life several times."
The boss's tone was plain, exposing the hardships he had along the way.
"You are so lucky..."
Xie Qi said sincerely.
Throughout the years, the journey has been difficult and dangerous. Without a few tricks, even following the caravan will be risky.
He is quite brave.
But at the age of thirteen, he would never dare to leave the city alone, and he would also seek immortals and visit Taoism...
You know, the mountains have always been the most dangerous place.
"...All the way, I went in when I met the mountain and worshiped when I met the temple. I also met many monks and Taoists with real talents and knowledge, but what they knew was just martial arts.
At that time, I was very stubborn and praised Haikou with my friends. How could I return without success? Therefore, I gritted my teeth and left for five or six years..."
The boss said, and he laughed:
"I think about it now, I am really lucky and lucky. If I really meet a thief, with my martial arts at that time, I will die."
"What happened later? You really found the immortal?"
Xie Qi became interested.
"Is an immortal... I can't tell whether it is an immortal with my current gaze. But if there are immortals in the world, then what I have encountered must be."
The boss looked a little dazed, recalling the past:
"It was a summer, the sun was shining brightly. I climbed up several hills, tired and hungry, so I found a safe place, raised a bonfire, and took a nap against a big tree..."
"I slept very sweetly this time. Now, I think about it, I haven't had such a good sleep for decades. When I woke up, it seemed that it was the next morning...
But strangely, I looked around and looked like a halberd, and the screen was opened, which was definitely not the mountain I saw yesterday. In other words, I seemed to be lost..."
Speaking of this, Xie Qi found that the boss's expression was excited.
What he wanted to say, but he swallowed it, looking at his appearance.
"...I was exhausted and didn't walk out of the mountain. Until then, I heard someone singing long!"
The boss's tone paused slightly, and his voice became desolate and heroic:
"...I can't make plans and make mistakes, no honor and disgrace, and will be calm and prolong life. When we meet, we are either immortals or Taos. We sit quietly and talk about the "Huangting"!"
"Huang Ting?"
Xie Qi's eyes moved.
"It's Huang Ting. Although I was so hungry that I was drowsy, I knew that I had encountered the "Immortal Relationship". I was overjoyed and forced myself to find the song..."
The boss clenched his hands.
"Finally found?"
“Not found…”
To be continued...
