Fantasy: Immortality starts with absorbing demons

The sky was bright and cloudless.

The golden light penetrates the glass, making the temperature in the greenhouse as warm as spring. Many flowers that only bloom in spring are in bloom, exuding fragrance wantonly.

Tao Qingtang took out a sharp silver carving knife, gently carved out a piece of extra wood, and started carving.

Her ten-year hobby of wood carving has long since developed her superb sword-making skills.

She had already made a model in her mind. The weight and angle of each knife were completely different, but they had one common feature.

That means it is very stable and accurate, without any errors.

Soon, a lion figure with a mighty and flowing mane, looking up to the sky and roaring, slowly appeared.

"Qingtang, do you still have the heart to play with this?"

Bang!

The door suddenly opened, and a slim female figure hurried in.

"The situation outside is changing rapidly now. It changes every day. If you buy some property at will, you will make a lot of money when the situation stabilizes!"

Several guards came forward, just about to stop the intruder.

But at first glance, it turned out to be Yue Hongying, the best friend who was almost a sister to the boss of the family.

She has a small face but a pretty face. There is a red mole between her eyebrows, which makes her skin fair and tender. She is wearing a gauze dark flower skirt, and her beautiful figure is clearly visible.

"Making money? What can I earn?" Tao Qingtang remained unmoved and continued to carve the wood carving in his hand.

"You don't know?" Yue Hongying said in an exaggerated tone. "Now that the New Deal is implemented, all kinds of waste will be prospered. As long as you have a little business acumen and buy low and sell high, you will definitely make a lot of money."

Jingtianzhuang and the Green Clothes Alliance, the two largest forces in the Huayang City Army, were suppressed and wiped out by Fang Jiulian.

The implementation of the New Deal is smooth and various reform measures are changing with each passing day.

this

In this process, a number of conservative industries will naturally be overthrown and emerging industries will become active.

Many people even had to sell their businesses at a low price during the implementation of the New Deal and quietly exit the market.

Of course, if some people are lonely, others will naturally rise.

Yue Hongying saw this opportunity and took action decisively. She successively acquired several shops in prime locations. She also took the opportunity to acquire several well-known business houses and made a huge profit.

"I won't go. Now that Meihua Pavilion has a lot of profits, there's no need." Tao Qingtang shook his head and refused.

"Hey, Qingtang, you don't want this free money? Are you stupid?" Yue Hongying was speechless, "I heard that the old rival of Plum Blossom Pavilion, Qixiang Tower, went bankrupt and is now listed for sale at a low price. If you take the opportunity to win, won’t Meihua Pavilion be the only one in the market from now on?”

"Hey, I'm talking! Are you listening?"

She saw that Tao Qingtang was still concentrating on carving the wood carving in his hand, paying no attention to her, and she was even more angry.

Snap!

Yue Hongying snatched the wood carving away from Tao Qingtang's eyes: "Stop doing this. We sisters have agreed that we will share the blessings and share the hardships. If you are short of money, can I pay you? The Qixiang Building must be bought. It will definitely be possible. Let’s take Meihua Pavilion to the next level.”

"Hongying, I don't need it." Tao Qingtang was not angry. After more than ten years of relationship, she had already figured out Yue Hongying's character and knew that she would not give up until she told him a reason.

She said seriously: "I don't have that big ambition. I just want a stable life. The stalls in Meihua Pavilion are not big or small, but they are enough for my brother and I's daily expenses."

"That's it

explain? I don't believe it? "Yue Hongying curled her lips.

"Of course there are reasons." Tao Qingtang explained, "Brother Han told me not to be too ostentatious. If my movements are too eye-catching, it will arouse the covetousness of others, which will in turn make me angry."

Meihua Pavilion's profits, apart from store operating expenses, were divided into two parts.

The majority of it was given to Han Yi, and the rest was kept by herself.

Although Tao Yaohui's martial arts training costs a lot of money, her share is enough.

And Han Yi is not a stingy person. As his disciple and the person in charge of the shadow hall, Tao Yaohui will not be short of various training resources scattered every month.

So for Tao Qingtang, life is pretty good now.

He can take over the Plum Blossom Pavilion left by his father and gradually develop it. My younger brother is also working hard to practice martial arts and has a bright future.

She doesn't expect much wealth and wealth, she just hopes that her family will be healthy and free from illness and disaster. After her brother matures, she will give the Plum Blossom Pavilion to her brother, and she will have time to delve into her own hobbies.

"Han Yi, it's Han Yi again!" Upon hearing this, Yue Hongying became unhappy.

From the beginning, she had a very bad impression of the unknown martial artist Tao Qingtang contracted with.

He is a little-known person, but he is just a new disciple of Jingtianzhuang, and he talks wildly and wants to pay an exorbitant amount of money.

Although in the follow-up process, Han Yi did play a big role in helping Tao Qingtang regain the power of Meihua Pavilion.

But she thought from the bottom of her heart that Han Yi was just lucky. He happened to encounter the mad lion Lin Zhenwei and was injured, so he just missed it.

Otherwise, just rely on his three-legged cat skills

Husband, who can you beat?

That is to say, Tao Qingtang, a big wretch, has always believed in an outsider with no foundation without reservation. Even despite her objections, she gave Han Yi part of the business shares of Meihua Pavilion.

If it hadn't been for that time when she heard that Han Yi had broken through the fourth level of Zhen Gong and became the external inspector of Jingtian Village, she would have actually come to her door and spent money to buy back business stocks.

But now, Jingtianzhuang is torn apart, and the prestige of suppressing the whole place has long disappeared. It is time to change the relationship.

Thinking of this, Yue Hongying earnestly advised: "Qingtang, I heard that Han Yi is now at Jiuqumen, which was formerly the Jiuquyuan, the weakest place in Jingtianzhuang. To be honest, the treatment you gave him is too much." High.

Where is this Jiuqu Gate? The Wangshan area is so remote that even if something happens to you, he won't be able to arrive in time like before. As a result, the so-called cooperative relationship no longer exists.

My father recently met a big shot in the government army. Why don't I recommend him to you? You know, this Fujun is much stronger than Jingtianzhuang and so on. It has a big tree at its back to enjoy the shade.

I will help you pay for the default money and find a new partner to avoid trouble from Meihua Pavilion in the future. "

The smile on Tao Qingtang's face gradually disappeared, and he said seriously: "Hongying, I appreciate your kindness, but please leave this matter alone."

"I don't care about you, who cares?" Yue Hongying said with a smile, "You and I, sisters, have supported each other for many years. It's not that biological sisters are better than biological sisters. Uncle Tao treated me no differently than his biological daughter during his lifetime. This little thing is nothing."

Isn't it just money? She, Yue Hongying, has plenty of it.

At worst, double it

, triple or even quadruple the shares of Meihua Pavilion.

As for the contract with Han Yi, the most that can be done is to pay a little more gold and break it unilaterally.

Of course, she knew it too.

Tao Qingtang has a good face and a soft temper, and cannot do many things.

But Tao Qingtang couldn't save face with acquaintances, but she, Yue Hongying, had no scruples.

For the future development of good sisters, what does mere reputation mean?

After hearing this, Tao Qingtang took a deep breath, put down the carving knife in his hand, and stood up.

She came to Yue Hongying, looked straight into his eyes, and said solemnly: "Yingying, I know you are doing it for my own good, but please leave this matter alone, I beg you."

The relationship between Han Yi and Tao Qingtang is no longer a simple cooperative-employment relationship.

Plum Blossom Pavilion has grown from one or two stores to now having branches all over the city and even outside.

Han Yi is the most critical factor.

Tao Qingtang has benefited a lot from his many concepts and unconstrained product ideas.

And Tao Qingtang can also notice that when Meihua Pavilion continues to expand its market, once trouble occurs, someone will take the initiative to help solve it, and it will be eliminated without even waiting for the trouble to arise.

It is also because of Han Yi that all kinds of connections, including those in the official circles, the underworld, and the three religions and nine streams, can proceed smoothly.

What's more, Han Yi is also the teacher of his younger brother Tao Yaohui and a good big brother to her Tao Qingtang.

Furthermore, Han Yi is her family.

The relationship between family members cannot be simply measured by money.

"Ah Qingtang

"Seeing Tao Qingtang's serious look, Yue Hongying suddenly panicked.

Yingying was her nickname. It was a nickname that she and Tao Qingtang called each other when they were children, and only the other party would know it. It is also a name that will only be called when something really big happens as an adult.

The last time I saw Tao Qingtang's expression, tone, and name was when Uncle Tao was dying.

"I don't care," she hesitated.

"No, you swear." Tao Qingtang's tone was solemn.

Looking at the determination in Tao Qingtang's eyes, Yue Hongying was obviously panicked.

"I me"

She, Yue Hongying, yelled: "I swear, I promise you. I'm not doing this for your own good! Why be so mean!"

Seeing Yue Hongying leave angrily, Tao Qingtang unconsciously smiled.

Even though Yue Hongying has a bad personality, is unruly and weird, and has the temper of a young lady, there is one thing that is excellent.

That is what you promise to do, and you will definitely do it.

Tao Qingtang naturally believed that Yue Hongying had good intentions and did not have any evil intentions, but there were some things that she was not comfortable explaining.

But that’s okay.

Although Yue Hongying left in anger now, with her carefree personality, it is estimated that the two will get back together before long.

Thinking of this, Tao Qingtang picked up the carving knife again and continued her wood carving.

"Master Wen, welcome to your visit. It really makes this humble abode shine."

At the gate of Yue Mansion, Yue Chengshun was dressed in the robe of a wealthy official, wearing a shy

He has a big belly and a big face full of apologetic smile.

"Well, I have nothing to do, come and take a look." Wen Xi looked at people through his nose and stretched out an arm.

Naturally, a beautiful maid came forward and gently helped him out of the carriage.

"Hey, the life outside Yue Yuan is good and very nourishing. I see that I have gained a lot of weight recently."

Wen Xi glanced at Yue Chengshun's bulging robe, and said something neutral.

"This," Yue Chengshun said with a smile on his face, "it's all thanks to your Majesty's blessing. Your Majesty came at the right time this time, and I happen to have a rare item here for you to appreciate."

Although he didn't know the purpose of Wen Xi's sudden visit, it didn't stop him from getting close to him and giving him a small gift to build a closer relationship.

Nowadays, with the New Deal reform, all kinds of waste are being revitalized. Many industries are gradually emerging. A series of policies have emerged, and corresponding personnel must be implemented. .

Wen Xi, Governor Wen, is a newly promoted official in Huayang City, and he is in charge of big businessmen like Yue Chengshun.

Therefore, for Yue Chengshun, if he fawns over Wen Xi, the future will be bright.

"Master Wen, drink and drink. This is the white jade wine specially supplied from the Western Regions. It took me a lot of effort to get just this little bit."

Yue Chengshun accompanied Wen Xi, sitting in the main hall on the second floor, while the maid kept bringing out delicious wine and delicacies.

"It tastes good, Yue Yue, it's really a good taste." Wen Xi tasted it and said with a smile.

After three drinks, the atmosphere was lively.

"Sir, I didn't know you were here this time," Yue Chengshun asked tentatively, taking advantage of the heated atmosphere.

But before he finished speaking, Wen Xi interrupted: "Drink, drink, this wine is really

good. "

Yue Chengshun had no choice but to respond with a smile and a toast.

There was nothing he could do. Who would let others take care of him?

After three or four rounds of trial and error, Wen Xi always took matters into his own hands.

"Oh, by the way, didn't the member say that there is a rare thing? Let's take a look."

In the end, Wen Xi still changed the topic abruptly.

"Oh, that's what you're talking about." Yue Chengshun paused, with a smile on his face, "Sir, please wait a moment."

After a while, a beautiful girl stepped forward, holding a delicate silver plate in her hand, with a red cloth cushion on the plate.

What was placed on top was a small square box.

This box is square, dark red, more than 20 centimeters thick, and relatively thick.

"Come on, Master Wen, this is the rare thing I was talking about, the Cave Sky Box!" Yue Chengshun picked up the red box with a smile and handed it to Wen Xi.

"Dongtian Box? What a big name!" Wen Xi was startled, and immediately took it and looked at it carefully, "Does this mean there is something special about the cave inside?"

"My lord, you have a keen eye!" Yue Chengshun flattered him, "You just need to open the box and shake it gently."

Hearing this, Wen Xi opened the top cover and shook it gently.

Click.

I could only hear the crisp sound of the loudspeaker inside the box, as if there was a mechanism. Inside the box, which was originally empty, suddenly there was a picture of a white tiger climbing up the mountain.

"Huh?" Wen Xi suddenly became curious.

If you look carefully at this painting, the white tiger is so lifelike with every detail, as if there is really a white tiger struggling to climb.

He has seen many paintings by famous artists, but this is the first time that they look so real and the ink is bright.

Wen Xi shook the box again, and suddenly there was another sound

Click.
