Chapter 47
After everyone in the Wanxiang Gate lived separately and spent dinner, everyone entered a single room in a restaurant in batches for a small meeting. Just as the number of people was gathered, thunder rumbling sounds came from the sky, mixed with lightning.
Since entering the mountain, there will be lightning and thunder at irregular intervals every night. Everyone has become accustomed to it, but tonight, I look up at the main peak from the windows of the room to the evening, and it feels different.
The thick clouds surrounded the main peak layer by layer like jade belts, only dark mountains were exposed from time to time in the gap.
Whenever the clouds tremble in the sky and several lightnings scatter vertically, the cloud belts often disperse in the waist, and the fog is frightened and rolled up, allowing people to vaguely see the trees and the broken walls with yellow in the gray. Then, the dull and deafening thunder sounds are used as footnotes. Then, after a while, the clouds and mists gather together and float again as if nothing has happened.
Zhou Xi frowned and said, "The main peak is rich in spiritual energy but violent and irritating. Even my spiritual consciousness cannot be easily explored like during the day. Ordinary lightning should not have such an effect."
Xin Qiaoxian continued: "I can't see the power of lightning, but when the lightning drops, there are formation fluctuations on the peak. Although it is weak, this weakness is a good manifestation of overflow control. At least I can't do this level."
Zhou Xi looked at everyone and said, "The winter solstice is the day to go up the peak the day after tomorrow. There is indeed something strange about this mountain and this peak, but we practitioners never give up chasing opportunities and do not hesitate to take risks for this. Therefore, all of us will go up the peak the day after tomorrow."
"You can rest and practice your skills tomorrow, or you can go around the market and arrange it yourself."
"Lao Mu will distribute the things you can use and some spirit stones on our hands later."
"As usual, you must give me a word of caution. Of course, this is concern, but it is a useless nonsense."
"There are risks when we experience training and explore secrets. We cannot and should not protect you all the time. When we encounter situations, it is better to be a little bigger or be careful. You decide and bear it yourself."
"A reminder, follow the call of your own soul when encountering things. Moreover, the first reaction and subconscious actions are often the most real and natural, in line with your own nature and the highest accuracy."
That night, everyone under the feet of the crucian carp had to fall asleep in the frequent thunder.
The next day, he got up early in the morning at Mao, first washed up, practiced in the morning class, and then practiced for two hours. Shang Chenxi then took Lanting and the other two out.
Walking along the road, stopping and stopping, Yi Liunian felt that he could finally come out to play, and he ran around like a monkey, and even urged Hua and Lin to take a few bets.
The mountain road is not long, and it has arrived at the entrance to the back of the crucian carp. There is a relatively flat site on the left, which has been simply decorated into a two-story teahouse with tents. At this time, more than half of the people have been filled.
The four of them went up to the second floor and saw Shang Jinshu and Nangong Bupian drinking tea. After asking, it turned out that Mu Zi met an acquaintance and asked them to move on their own.
Everyone sat down and looked forward. The place was indeed very good. They faced the main peak with a beautiful mountain. There were thousands of feet deep valleys in the middle. In the field of view, the clouds and mists in the form of famous forms were leisurely floating. I think the summer breeze season was even more special.
There is also a small flat ground next to the cliff downstairs, with seven or eight sets of seats placed. Most of the people who practice Taoism are not afraid of the cold, and several tables have been occupied.
Everyone was enjoying the scenery when they saw a middle-aged Taoist nun leading a little girl into the outdoor teahouse, attracting everyone's attention.
The Taoist nun looks quite old and looks meticulously dressed in her hair bun. From her face, she can tell that she was also a beauty when she was young. Unfortunately, she looks cold and solemn, and looks like she is not close to a strange person.
The little girl was pretty, with several freckles on her face not hiding the beauty, but instead she added a bit of playfulness, and she also had a united, tense, serious and inactive expression. But anyone could tell that it was deliberately pretending to be by her elders in front, and her eyes that kept turning around showed her youthful and active mentality.
The two found a seat to sit down. The girl took out a set of tea sets she brought with her, and let the waiter take the water.
Everyone in the Wanxiang Gate was chatting casually as they looked at the scenery. At this time, two sword-carrying girls came in. One of them passed by a table where several big men were sitting. When a man deliberately stretched out his feet and staggered, he started to speak. The men were teasing their mouths and their voices became louder and louder.
The two girls should be the elders who were not with them and wanted to retreat, but were surrounded and asked to have tea together.
Seeing that he started to touch his feet, Yi Liunian had just stood up here. Before he could speak, he heard the middle-aged Taoist nun downstairs shouting: "Stop, get out!"
A leading man turned his head and stared: "Hundred ghosts walk in the cave at night to do business, so don't meddle in other people's business."
The little girl spoke: "Brother, I advise you to calm down and leave quickly. My master has a bad temper and is right. She hates stinky men to bully women the most. Don't blame me for not reminding you."
The big man grinned: "Is that right? Isn't it true that our Hundred Ghosts Night Walking Cave is called Hundred Ghosts Beast Walking Caves? Today..."
Before he finished speaking, everyone's eyes burst into tears, and they didn't see clearly how the middle-aged Taoist nun took action. One of the leading man's ears had been cut off from the air. He couldn't help but cover his ears and scream, and half of his face was already bleeding.
A few big men hurriedly stepped forward and rushed forward, and they were about to pull weapons to rush forward. The leader had some knowledge and insight, and knew in his heart that the other party was showing mercy. Otherwise, as long as he tilted his hands, his head would not be a match for him. So he hurriedly pulled several people and didn't even dare to say anything on the scene, and ran away with his head in his arms.
Seeing that the middle-aged Taoist nun was disabled when she took action, she was ruthless and had no room for anything, the disciples of the Wanxiang Sect were also shocked.
Only Yi Liunian said, "Get happy, relieve your anger." After that, he pointed at Lan Tingxian and said in surprise: "Look at you two, aren't there any sympathy or chivalrous spirit?"
Hua Lanting said: "With Hero Yi, where is our hero's turn to save the beauty."
Lin Xianjing also spoke: "Yes, it's better to leave these beasts to Hero Yi to deal with."
Yi Liunian: "Stop coming, just kidding, don't think I can't see it. Lan Ting held the flying knife in his hand, and the strings frightened under his feet. Miss Nangong's sword was pulled out halfway, and they were each other. But by the way, why did I let me deal with the beasts first?"
Lin Xian smiled and replied: "Because it is very important for the opponent to be a candidate. If you win, you will be even more beastly than beast."
Hua Lanting continued: "If you lose, you are the one who is worse than a beast."
Lin Xianjing said again: "If it is tied, you are just like a beast."
Shang Jinshu and Nangong Bupian both had their first contact with the disciples of the Construction Department, and they couldn't help but smile when they heard this.
Yi Liunian pointed at them, you and you couldn't speak. He paused for a moment before saying, "Hmph, you just saw that there was no profit to be profitable, so hesitated for a while, not as real and pure as this young hero."
Hua Lanting heard this and said, "When it comes to interests, there is a businessman here. Why not, second uncle, please give us some advice in addition to the four words of business."
Shang Chenxi smiled and said, "You kid, you test me, you still want to find some more useful things. Well, Jinshu, tell them about the business family motto."
"Yes, second uncle."
Shang Jinshu stood up and agreed: "The first family motto of merchants: In business, business, business, business, everything is profit first."
Yi Liunian asked weakly: "Uncle Second, this is not very good. Will it be too old?"
Shang Chenxi said seriously: "No. Merchants start their own business, followed by the cultivation family. The so-called world is bustling for profit, and the world is bustling for profit. Merchants value profit, and they cannot get up early without profit, so there is nothing to hide from."
"Whatever you do, you don't talk about profits, and you can cheat people. If everyone in the world can keep their duties, do what they should do, know how to do, and do well, be content with their own way, and don't want to set up a archway and be that, there will be many disputes in this world."
"Besides, every business family motto is annotated. Let's continue to talk about the brocade."
"Yes. Profits divide profits and profits, and interests are short-term, medium-term, long-term, potentially hidden, and obvious. Everything should be based on the present moment and focus on the long-term in order to maximize profits. In addition, there are exceptions for everything, and everything focuses on profits, not everything focuses on emotions."
"What an extraordinary thing is important." Hua Lanting and Lin Xian applauded, and Tao Zhu's family style is really good.
Shang Chenxi smiled when he heard this, and he was very helpful and said, "Bu Pian, please tell me the second one."
Nangong Bupian said in a delicate voice: "The second family motto of merchants: The way for merchants to save their lives and continue their family. Things in the world can be handled in two ways. One is that it does not matter to me, and the other is that it does not matter to your business. In this way, there are fewer worries."
"Note: If most of the sufferings and problems in the world cannot be solved by you, they can definitely be handled by me. They must have the spirit of domineering the world, and they must also have the intention of being innocent and pretending to be stupid."
"I don't know how powerful it is," Yi Liunian sighed: "Sister Pianpian, what is the third one?"
Shang Jinshu next to him bowed to him: "Sorry, brothers, no one is allowed to hear from the second one, unless they are the direct descendants of the merchant family."
Shang Chenxi said: "In this way, tell them the last one."
Just as Shang Mianshu was about to speak, the careful Hua Lanting and the careful Lin Xian both keenly captured the flash of his face, and then returned to the hint of melancholy behind the natural professional smile.
Hua Lanting’s idea was that although the children of aristocratic families were always tired, they always had difficulty in hiding and the pain of being unable to get it.
Lin Xianjing understood the face, responsibilities, external conflicts and internal conflicts that the juniors of the clan must bear.
Press this and do not display it.
Speaking of Shang Jinshu, he continued: "The last article of the business family motto: If you have carefully considered the aforementioned family motto at least three times, it is determined that it is not applicable to the situation you face, please refer to Article 0 to implement it."
After a pause, Shang Jinshu said with a smile: "The zeroth article of the business family motto: As long as it meets my wish and I am happy, and I like the three principles, then let it go!"
Wonderful, wonderful! The ancestors of the merchants were really interesting people, Hua Lanting and Lin Xianjing thought so.
While everyone was still savoring, several monks came over downstairs.
There was a boy in the middle, with a arrogant look on his face as a second generation cultivator. Three middle-aged men were guarding each other, and an old man with a hook nose was following behind.
Several people entered the open-air teahouse and walked to the edge of the cliff. A guard pushed the person sitting and said sir, "Get out of the way, my young master has requisitioned it here." After that, he dusted his sleeves and reached out to greet the boy to sit down.
The two people who were snatched the seat saw that there were many people on the other side, so they swallowed their anger and did not dare to argue, and retreated in shame.
Chapter completed!
