The years when I opened a coffin shop in the world of Ninth Uncle

Chapter 169 Looking for the Dark Wood
Huo family.

After a pass, the three of Xu Ping entered the Huo family's courtyard.

The back garden of the last meeting was exclusive to Mr. Huo, so Huo Zhinan invited Xu Ping and the three into the living room.

"Gloomy wood?"

When Huo Zhinan heard Xu Ping's intention, he asked in surprise, "Mr. Xu, what's the use of this?"

Xu Ping briefly described that the coffin can be made of gloomy wood, and the knife evil formed by Li Chang's building can be broken.

The open space in front of the building is divided into two, and the Huo family also has a share. If the sword can be broken, it will not be abandoned.

There is no room for carelessness in this matter.

Huo Zhinan's face was full of excitement, but after calming down, he said in a deep voice: "The old man has collected some, but there are not so many to make such a large amount of six coffins."

Xu Ping asked: "Then I don't know if Brother Huo knows that other people still have gloomy wood in their collection?"

Huo Zhinan pondered for a moment, then patted his head: "Please wait a moment, I'll ask first."

After speaking, he walked out quickly.

After a while, Huo Zhinan came back with a happy face: "Mr. Xu, I just went to check it carefully. Just a few days ago, Zhou Dasheng got a piece of [-]-year-old gloomy wood from somewhere. It is eight meters long and three meters wide. , making six coffins should be more than enough."

"Zhou Dasheng?"

Xu Ping glanced at Wang Hongguang and Sun Hai, neither of them knew who he was.

Seeing this, Huo Zhinan said with a smile: "This Zhou Dasheng was born as a fisherman who caught the sea, and he gradually grew up. He has more than a dozen fishing boats under his command. He has a good relationship with our Huo family. If I go to ask for it, he will probably Give up."

When Xu Ping heard it, he was also a little happy, and said: "That would be great, um... I won't stay in Hong Kong Island for a long time. I don't know if Brother Huo is inconvenient, so take me to him now. In terms of price, naturally it won't Make him suffer."

Huo Zhinan didn't talk nonsense, and immediately took them to look for that Zhou Dasheng.

The car galloped through the streets and alleys, all the way to the beach.

In a seafood processing factory near the sea, Xu Ping and the others met Zhou Dasheng.

He was wearing a shiny black waterproof apron, holding a sharp knife in his hand, and was disemboweling a salmon that had just come off the boat.

Hearing that Huo Zhinan was looking for him, he hurriedly dropped the top-quality three-meter-long salmon on the chopping board and ran over in a hurry.

"Mr. Huo, why are you here? If you need me for anything, just send someone to notify you." Zhou Dasheng was very polite to Huo Zhinan, smiling all over his face.

Huo Zhinan laughed: "Boss Zhou is too polite, let's talk in a quiet place."

Zhou Dasheng slapped his forehead, and hurriedly said: "Come on, come to my office first, Axiang, serve good tea."

When the four of them were invited into the office, the first thing that caught their eyes was the large row of bookshelves.

The desk made of mahogany is filled with many Feng Shui objects.

What caught Xu Ping's attention even more was the bookshelf, which was full of books, and the aroma of the books just offset the dead air coming from the nearby factory.

Wang Hongguang and Sun Hai were also watching the feng shui here, nodding their heads frequently, obviously feeling that the feng shui layout is very delicate.

"The feng shui in this office is really good. It seems that I asked someone to look at it." Xu Ping thought to himself, he wanted to help the other party because he didn't want to, so he said to help the other party improve the feng shui, but looking at it now, it seems that there is no need.

Several people sat down on the sofa in the office. The female secretary swaying her waist brought tea. Her beautiful eyes lingered on Xu Ping's body for a moment, and then she smiled and walked out slowly.

"This burns hooves."

Zhou Dasheng cursed secretly, then looked at Xu Ping and the others, and began to look up and down, "Mr. Huo, I don't know if these three are..."

Huo Zhinan introduced: "This is Wang Hongguang, the nephew of Mrs. Zhou in Hong Kong Island, and this is Sun Hai, from Nanyue. As for the one in front of you..."

When Xu Ping was introduced, he was full of reverence, and said solemnly: "This is Mr. Xu Pingxu. He is not only a business partner of my Huo family, but also a master of Fengshui. It is actually Mr. Xu's intention to come here this time."

Seeing that Huo Zhinan's introduction was so grand, and his expression was full of respect, Boss Zhou, who was a fisherman, was also surprised, and said: "So it was Mr. Xu who met me. Zhou didn't go far to meet him. Please forgive me."

Xu Ping waved his hand, and directly explained the purpose of his visit: "Boss Zhou, I came here to look for you this time. I heard that your fishing boat found a piece of gloomy wood in the shallow sea a few days ago. I don't know if there is such a thing?"

Zhou Dasheng glanced at Huo Zhinan, and couldn't help sighing in his heart, the news from the Huo family was really well-informed, he hurriedly said: "It is true that I got a piece of gloomy wood, what does Mr. Xu mean?"

Xu Ping said: "Boss Zhou, I wonder if you are willing to give up?"

"Of course, in terms of price, it will definitely not let you suffer."

Only then did Zhou Dasheng realize what the people meant, he frowned and fell into silence for a while.

Seeing his embarrassed look, Huo Zhinan also frowned, and asked: "Boss Zhou, please speak up if you have any difficulties. As long as you are willing to give up the gloomy wood, our Huo family will definitely not let you suffer."

"Mr. Huo is serious..." Zhou Dasheng explained: "In the early years, if the Huo family hadn't supported Zhou, Zhou would not be where he is today. It's just that the piece of gloomy wood has already agreed to be sold to others."

When Huo Zhinan heard this, he showed displeasure: "Boss Zhou, what do you mean by that? Are you still afraid that I won't be able to afford the price?"

As the saying goes, no business, no evil, he thinks that Zhou Dasheng wants to raise the price on the ground, so he makes such an argument.

Zhou Dasheng hurriedly said: "Mr. Huo, although I have deducted a little from my business, how dare I act recklessly in front of you."

His seafood processing factory, together with a dozen fishing boats, was huge at first, but in the eyes of the Huo family, they were nothing like farts.

If you want to punish him, it's a matter of minutes.

Hearing what he said, Huo Zhinan's face looked better now, and he smiled again: "I blamed Boss Zhou by mistake, and I hope Boss Zhou won't be offended..."

As he said that, his face became serious, and he asked, "I just don't know, who is the one who bought the gloomy wood from you?"

Zhou Dasheng replied in a deep voice, "It's Master Gu!"

"Master Gu?"

"Which Master Gu?"

"..."

"It's the Fengshui consultant who is helping Boss Li Changli..." Zhou Dasheng got up, took out a piece of paper from under his desk, and said, "This is the contract signed by Master Gu and me. He will help me adjust the Fengshui of the factory. Bring fifty thousand silver dollars to buy gloomy wood."

The silver dollar is the currency in circulation on Hong Kong Island.

Huo Zhinan took the contract, looked at it carefully for a long time, nodded to Xu Ping and said: "It is true."

Sun Hai and Wang Hongguang just heard that Master Gu helped Zhou Dasheng adjust Feng Shui, so they knew that he was also a practitioner.

Thinking of Baiden Commercial Bank's first stop in Hong Kong Island, when they encountered such a situation, Sun Hai sighed: "Now it's a bit troublesome."

Looking at the contract in hand, for a businessman, tearing up the contract is basically tantamount to enmity, and the other party is also a practitioner who is proficient in wind and water, this Zhou Dasheng must not be willing.

But Xu Ping didn't want to back down, and asked, "Boss Zhou, I wonder if that piece of gloomy wood is still with you?"

"exist!"

Zhou Dasheng nodded: "I also made an appointment with Master Gu. He will come to pick it up within three days, and today happens to be the third day."

"This one said that he will come over later?" Xu Ping said.

Zhou Dasheng looked at Xu Ping in embarrassment, then looked at Huo Zhinan and said, "Well, after Master Gu comes over, I will introduce you to him. If he is willing to back down, then Zhou will sell this gloomy wood to you. It doesn't matter."

Xu Ping glanced at Huo Zhinan, who pondered for a moment, and said, "In that case, let's bother Boss Zhou, we'll wait here for that Master Gu to come."

Zhou Dasheng waved his hands hastily: "Mr. Huo, please don't say that."

Although he didn't do anything wrong, Huo Zhinan was considered a benefactor. When the benefactor came to ask for help, but the matter was not done properly, he still felt a little indebted.

Just because of his attitude, Xu Ping would not make things difficult for him.

Wait a minute, Zhou Dasheng went out to work, Xu Ping said to Huo Zhinan: "Brother Huo, Boss Zhou is not bad."

Huo Zhinan nodded and said with a smile: "When his first fishing boat went out to sea, it encountered a big storm and was lucky to save his life. After returning, the fishing boat was seriously damaged and could no longer sail, and he no longer had money to repair it. His family lent him money to repair the ship, and later his business grew, and we also cooperated with him in the seafood business.”

"No wonder Boss Zhou was so excited when he saw you," Xu Ping said.

Sun Hai's thoughts were all on that Master Gu, and he took the time to ask: "Brother Xu, do you know that Master Gu, how should we deal with him later?"

Wang Hongguang also echoed, "Yes, he is from Li Chang's side, could it be on purpose?"

Xu Ping shook his head: "Probably not, he probably won't understand the technique of breaking the six coffins."

For practitioners, the gloomy wood can be used to refine all kinds of magic tools, presumably this is also the reason why Master Gu likes it.

Looking at Wang Hongguang, Xu Ping suddenly said: "You also know that Master Gu, that Taoist priest who used a spell to attack a werewolf on the street that day."

"It's him?!"

Wang Hongguang pondered and said: "I think his way of doing is just like that, but I never thought that he has such deep attainments in Fengshui."

Xu Ping was also a little surprised. It stands to reason that Longhushan generally doesn't pay much attention to the art of Fengshui. There are very few Taoist priests from Longhushan.

"Let's talk about it after we see him." Xu Ping didn't have a good solution at the moment, thinking in his heart, he could only see tricks.

Not long after, the boss Zhou brought several plates of salmon, "Everyone, this is the top-quality salmon that Mr. Zhou just bought. It is best to eat this kind of salmon right away. It tastes the most delicious. It is an apology to everyone."

Huo Zhinan chuckled: "Boss Zhou, you are too out of touch."

Dip in wasabi and taste the salmon, it really melts in your mouth.

Originally, something went wrong on this trip, and everyone was not very happy. After eating a few plates of salmon, even Wang Hongguang and Sun Hai became acquainted with this Zhou Dasheng.

"Boss Zhou is really good at coming this time..." Xu Ping suddenly thought that when he was going from Renjia Town to the provincial capital, he passed the Longchuan River and met a captain, Lao Zhou, who made a living by picking beautiful abalones, which were also the best seafood.

With a thought, he asked, "Boss Zhou, have you ever heard of the beautiful Bao?"

Zhou Dasheng was very excited when he heard the word "beautiful abalone". He patted his thigh and said: "Mr. ?”

Xu Ping smiled lightly: "It just so happens that I happen to have some friendship with the beauty picker Bao's captain, Lao Zhou, so hurry up tomorrow and wait for me to go back to Nanyue and ask for you."

The beauty abalone needs to go down to the deep water to pick it. My paper figurine can do it for me. Maybe I can take this opportunity to cooperate with Boss Zhou to make the seafood business bigger and stronger.

After writing down this matter, Xu Ping put it aside, chatted for a while, and heard noisy voices from downstairs.

Zhou Dasheng got up quickly, looked down from the window, and saw at a glance that Master Gu, who was wearing a dark blue robe, was standing downstairs with a group of people.

"Mr. Huo, Mr. Xu, Master Gu is here."

The Lord finally came, and the four got up and went downstairs.

Gu Santong, who was standing there, was surprised when he saw a few people coming down suddenly, when he saw Xu Ping's figure in the crowd at a glance.

The last time this young man actually tried to persuade himself to do things for himself, Gu Santong was suddenly puzzled, but he hadn't figured out what it meant.

He originally wanted to check the open space that night to see if it was really a place of evil spirits as Li Chang said.

But before he took any action that night, he was taken elsewhere by Li Chang, and he couldn't find time to check it carefully.

"Master Gu, you are here."

Zhou Dasheng greeted him hurriedly, and wanted to introduce Xu Ping and others to him: "Master Gu, let me introduce you first, these few..."

"No need!"

Gu Santong raised his hand, looked at Xu Ping and said, "This is Mr. Xu Pingxu, right? We have met twice before."

The first meeting was just a chance encounter, but it was nothing.

But the second time, it can be said that Xu Ping and Li Chang clashed, and even Gu Santong didn't know how to face this fellow.

Xu Pingdao: "So Master Gu still remembers me, I don't know what I told Master Gu last time, let Master Gu take care of himself, don't be deceived by treacherous villains, has Master Gu ever been on guard?"

Gu Santong frowned: "Mr. Xu may speak directly if he has something to say, instead of beating around the bush."

In his eyes, Xu Ping was a junior after all, but speaking like this was plainly displeased.

Xu Ping said directly: "Since Master Gu came from Longhu Mountain and is also an orthodox Taoist preacher, why did he help Li Chang arrange such a vicious feng shui?"

It would be best if this Master Gu had some conscience. After knowing what he and others had done, he could clearly recognize his mistakes and let the gloomy wood come out.

If he was really in collusion with Li Chang, then things would become easier.

Taking by force is also an effective way.
