"The essence of the aura is the second overflow of the Tao. Because of the aura, all things can be tangible and ......"

Halfway through the speech, Sun Yulan found that Sun Yulan had fallen asleep on the recliner.

By this time it was getting late. In the distance, the city lights up to announce the start of nightlife on the waterfront. This time, the Q&A was carried out from afternoon to evening unconsciously.

Sun Xiang stopped talking, picked up his daughter, and put her on the bed. Many years ago, Sun Yulan also often heard half asleep. At that time, it was because children were easily sleepy. And now, it is because Sun Yulan has just taken analgesics and cannot fight the sleepiness caused by the drugs.

Sun Xiang covered his daughter's quilt and then returned to the balcony to look at the lights of the coastal area in the distance.

This is a city with a population of more than 20 million, and in the glorious lights, there will be countless births, old age, sickness, death, love and hatred in it every day.

When he, as a cultivator, condescendingly looks down on the joys and sorrows of the world, he will think that all this is nothing but a law and a cycle. But when it comes to himself, he will realize what kind of unspeakable pain and sorrow this is.

A cultivator who goes to heaven and earth, moves mountains and reclaims the sea, can't escape the seven emotions and six desires, and is just a mortal who knows some magical powers after all.

He just stood there silently, without saying a word all night.

Lord Lovihan ended his journey with the honour of an interview with the Pope. After returning the Ark of the Covenant, the president of the Continental Chamber of Commerce took his Gulfstream plane from Beirut and returned directly to his estate in Annecy.

The lord successfully brought back the Ark of the Ten Commandments on this trip, which is already considered a successful retirement. As for the specific distribution later, he no longer cares.

In this auction, he fought for his faith, united with Shamash, and had a clever plan to destroy the Hashemite family, which was already exhausting. Unexpectedly, he went under the guns of the Pacific Fleet, and finally had to pretend that his heart was okay in front of a 100-million-ton nuclear bomb.

If the lord had been forty years younger, he might have thought it was a surprising adventure worth bragging about. But now, he just feels very tired.

The thought of that hundred-second countdown made the lord tremble now. I thought to myself, young people nowadays, they really know how to play! I don't think about the thoughts of the elderly at all.

With such complaints, he walked into the hammam in the manor. The two maids, who were not young, but still graceful, smiled and changed their clothes for the lord and put on their bathrobes. The third maid lit a pot of hookah for him.

The Lord hated the desert people, but praised their way of pleasure. In the swirling of steam and smoke, the old man relaxed and fell asleep. Until the footsteps of the butler disturbed his clear dream.

"It's not important, let's talk about it tomorrow. ”

"Sir. The housekeeper took a printed email and said respectfully, "Ms. Sun Yulan's email, she notified that the general meeting of shareholders will be held in 18 hours." ”

Lord Lovihan heard the news and opened his eyes. He took a sip of shisha and smiled, "It seems that she has finally made up her mind." ”

On the other side of the world, in Toronto, a dimly lit conference room.

More than a dozen conference screens surround Patia. And this androgynous lady is reporting to the bosses on video.

"Based on all the intelligence analysis, I think that Sun Xiang is very likely to be a high-level figure in the mysterious Xuanmen. Moreover, he was the direct contact between Xuanmen and Sun Yulan. We have reason to believe that Sun Xiang is very likely to have mastered the catalyst of Luhe Battery, and even the catalyst itself was provided to Sun Yulan by him. ”

Patia was serious about her closing arguments, but her bosses weren't paying attention to that.

On a screen beside him, a flirtatious voice asked, "Patia, has something happened between you and that Mr. Sun Xiang?"

"Please describe to us how frightened that incredible Mr. Sun Xiang looked when he lifted your skirt. Another voice added to the fire.

There was a low laugh around her, and Patia looked furious and crumpled the report in her hand. But this group of gentlemen hiding behind the screen obviously didn't intend to let her go easily.

"James, you're wrong. Another voice interjected, "That Mr. Sun Xiang at that time, maybe he was overjoyed? Just like you." ”

"Hahahaha!"

Patia grabbed the microphone on her desk and slammed it into the screen. It's a pity that these screens are tempered glass and have not been damaged in the slightest.

"Yuri shut up!" Patia screamed, "or the old lady will go to your house and rip your stinky mouth now!"

"Don't, Patia, I'll give you a raise, hehehe!"

"Alright, don't make a fuss. An old-fashioned voice halted the farce.

He said, "Patya, you mean that the mysterious and powerful Mr. Sun Xiang has rejected our friendship. Depending on your judgment, is this the will of his own person, or the will of the entire organization behind him. ”

Patia finally calmed down her anger and continued to report: "According to my judgment, Mr. Sun Xiang is not resisting us, but he does not seem to like war. ”

"Oh my God, a boring fellow!" a voice interjected.

"Vincent, you can't say that. That guy got a big Ivan with him, it's so punk! You should really look at Harris's face, he just called and cursed us crazy for selling nuclear weapons to terrorist organizations. ”

"Yuri, did you sell Big Ivan to this venerable Mr. Sun Xiang?"

"Shut up James, if I had Big Ivan, be the first to throw at your headquarters!"

"Use the intercontinental missile I sold you, idiot!"

"Quiet!" Lao Cheng's voice reappeared, "why can't our organization speak one by one like civilized people?"

"Because we're all bastards who deserve hell. A voice whispered, but he quieted down because there was no echoing voice.

Patia rubbed her hair, this group of bosses will always be this virtue, and they will never be normal.

But the lady seemed to have forgotten that she was the most abnormal one.

"I think it's necessary to keep in touch with this Mr. Sun Xiang. Patia said.

"Why?"

"In the past ten years, the military forces of the Mi army, represented by Harris, have become more and more out of the control of the United States Federation. According to the survey of the Strategic Analysis Department, we believe that the Mi army will embark on the road of complete militarization in the near future. Parthia said.

"That seems to be good news for us. "We need chaos and war." ”

"But not a full-scale war. "What we need is a fragmented world, a planet where local strife is constant, and low-intensity local wars can maximize our interests."

If the Mi army is completely out of political control, then the scale of the war will also be completely out of our control. If there is a full-scale war between China and the United States, it will be very difficult for us to do business – just like we did in World War II.

Since Mr. Sun Xiang easily took out nuclear weapons and the Ark of the Ten Commandments, and has extensive influence in the Middle East, I believe that the power behind him is unfathomable. This will be an important ally for us, especially in the fight against the Mi Army. ”

"Makes sense. ”

"Seconded. ”

Patia was right. ”

"Salary increase!"

Lao Cheng's voice hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "What does this Mr. Sun Xiang need, maybe we should further show our friendship." ”

At this moment, Patia's phone lit up, and an email popped up.

She glanced at it and said with a smile: "Sun Yulan will hold a general meeting of shareholders in 18 hours, it seems that this will be a good opportunity." ”

Kyoto, Flower Joy Hall.

A bald-headed, pious chef dressed in traditional monk's robes. He knelt down in front of the low table and lifted up a delicate wooden box.

This wooden box seems to be unadorned. However, the wood grain is sparse, the shape is simple, and it has an elegant taste. Of course, the dish served in such a wooden box will not be simple.

In the plate, a finely carved epiphany blooms layer by layer, and it is even difficult for others to distinguish that this white flower is actually carved from a whole radish.

A few plain mushrooms are stacked in a staggered manner, and next to them are the main parts of the dish, two near-perfect pieces of water tofu.

This dish, called "Hanatama", symbolizes that life is as short as the flowering period is beautiful - cherry blossoms are not good, and the flowering period is still too long to express regret for the shortness of life.

The monk who kneels down to offer this "flower jade" is one of Kyoto's top culinary masters. The artistic conception of this painstaking and lonely dish is not only in this wooden box.

It's also an environment where you can enjoy the food.

The first half of this dining room is a normal Japanese-style restaurant. Two dignified and demure women in kimono sat on their knees to serve.

One of them holds incense and the other holds tea.

The woman holding the incense is shaking off the silk incense ash with a jade incense brush. This is a superb incense technique, and the ash of the orchid afterfragrance will add a richer and grainy layer to the surrounding fragrance.

Another woman holding tea was still sitting quietly and waiting. Only after the guest of honor has finished eating, she will serve the most rigorous tea ceremony, so that the guest of honor can feel the true meaning of tea at the end.

This is the side of the Japanese room. On the other side, there is an open courtyard. In the courtyard is an unusually beautiful dry landscape, with crimson leaves sprinkled on the sand-paved ground. At this time, the moonlight is just right, and the cold wind is blowing. In the silence, there was a "pop", and it turned out to be a startled deer filled with water and knocked on the moss-covered rocks.

It is worthy of Hanagetikan, the best kaiseki cuisine in Kyoto. This "flower jade", this orchid, and this courtyard are perfectly matched together, interpreting an artistic conception -

A kind of stupid thing that doesn't make sense in Lu Ning's eyes.

The president had a hideous face, and a large amount of smoke came out of the cigar in his mouth, choking the incense girl next to him. But out of etiquette, the girl endured in silence. Only her slightly trembling shoulders betrayed her.

A capable subordinate knelt beside Lu Ning upright. He lowered his eyes and said respectfully, "President, please enjoy the supreme craftsmanship of Master Yukimura." ”

Lu Ning sighed, he knew that the people in the island country were all such stinky problems. But the problem is, after many years, he still can't bear it.

"Harada-kun, I'm not kind to you on weekdays, right?" Lu Ning asked depressedly.

Listening to the president's question, Harada, who was kneeling, immediately leaned down, and was sincerely afraid: "The president's great kindness to me is unforgettable!"

Harada was originally just an ordinary analyst at the Sansho Group, but later the president of Pingning Maro (Lu Ning) had the insight to promote him to an important department, and now Harada is already one of the group's senior executives. For many years, Harada wanted to repay the president's kindness, but it was only today that the president agreed to his request.

In order to express his gratitude to the president, Harada spent a lot of money to invite Master Yukimura, the god of cooking, to be the chef himself at the Hanayue Restaurant. It was the highest respect he could think of, but he didn't know that this sycophant was not at all in place.

Lu Ning extinguished the cigar on the tofu of the dish and roared angrily: "You are grateful and invite me to eat this?! Eat this after being hungry for five hours? What the hell are you feeding the birds?!"
