605 Legend of the Immortals
"The Qing Dynasty is more than a thousand years away from the Jin Dynasty, and this Chinese medicine practitioner may have higher medical skills than Gong Changchun, but there is still a gap between the annotated things and the original!"
Chen Xiu put the ancient book back, and took out a modern printed version of the book from the shelf, only to see that the title of the book on it was "The Biography of Ge Hong".
Chen Xiu also lost interest in putting the book back all of a sudden, and took several books in a row to read, all of which were books about Ge Hong.
"Yes. Ou Jianhua met Ge Hong thirty years ago, so he naturally studied it. ”
"No wonder I think this stone statue is so familiar, and the carved one should be Ge Hong!"
Chen Xiu suddenly lost interest in the book "Hug Puzi" in his hand, and put it back on the shelf, but he was attracted by a blue thread-bound ancient book next to him, and saw that the cover page was attracted by the words "The Legend of the Immortals" written in Zhao style, and he took it and opened it to take a look, only to see that the handwriting inside was actually a manuscript, not an ordinary printed copy.
"That's a good word!"
Chen Xiu opened the first page, only to see that the words on it were read vertically: "...... Chaos is not divided into heaven and earth, and no one can see it. Since Pangu broke Hongmeng, it has opened up from Zi Qing to distinguish ......"
"It's kind of interesting!"
Chen Xiu was immediately attracted by the preface, and continued to read: "Feeling the opening of Pangu, the three emperors ruled the world, and the five emperors ruled the ......."
Reading all the way, this turned out to be a biography of various gods and goddesses in ancient China, which recorded the cultivation and immortalization process of Zhang Daoling, Dongfang Shuo, Ge Hong, and Lu Dongbin.
The more Chen Xiu looked at it, the more interesting he felt, completely ignoring Ou Sheng beside him, and looked like a primary school student flipping through a comic book with his legs crossed on the ground, Ou Sheng saw that he was fascinated, and he didn't bother to disturb him for a while, so he went straight back to the room.
This is written very realistically, and the various stories of the various immortal characters when they are not immortals are also wonderfully written. It's a pity that only eighteen immortal characters are introduced, and it's not enjoyable to watch!"
Chen Xiu covered the ancient book, and the eighteen immortal characters in the book were suddenly found in his mind.
"Oh, that's not right!"
Although Lu Dongbin's immortal deeds were spread in the Song Dynasty, it is recorded in the book that he became an immortal during the Five Dynasties. ”
"How come every one of the immortals recorded in this book is a figure before the Tang Dynasty!"
Judging from the identity of the author of this book, it is obviously a Taoist priest in the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty. Could it be that there has been no figure who has become an immortal during the period from the Tang Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty?"
"Or does this person who wrote the book not know the characters who became immortals after the Tang Dynasty?"
"Or maybe something happened after the Tang Dynasty that caused cultivators to be unable to become immortals?"
The more Chen Xiu thought about it, the more confused he felt, and he couldn't figure it out, so he rolled the "Legend of the Immortals" in his hand into a stick and couldn't stop beating his head.
Chen Shao...... Chen Shao!"
A voice in his ear pulled him back from his thoughts, and when he looked up, he saw that it was Uncle Chao, who was dressed as a housekeeper, looking at him with strange eyes.
"Chen Shao, are you okay?" asked Uncle Chao with concern.
Chen Xiu said embarrassedly: "No...... It's okay, it's just that I've been reading for a long time, and my neck is a little tired. That...... That super uncle, what did you call me?"
"The people of the eighteenth district have arrived, and the eldest lady invites you to come over and have a meeting together. ”
"Oh. ”
Chen Xiu looked at his watch, and it turned out that he was fascinated by reading, and before he knew it, more than an hour had passed.
"Chen Shao, please come here!"
Uncle Chao led Chen Xiu up to the third floor and walked into a reception hall, the whole hall was full of smoke, and as soon as he entered, there was a strong smell of cigarettes and cigars, and eighteen men in black suits and black sunglasses swallowed the clouds together.
These eighteen people were all wearing suits, trying to look as gentle as possible, but all of them were extremely fierce, and several of them had terrifying scars on their faces, and they were obviously not good.
When these eighteen people saw Uncle Chao leading a young man in, they also looked Chen Xiu up and down, and there was a trace of contempt in the eyes of several people.
"Damn, I didn't offend them, do you need to hate me so much at first sight?"
Chen Xiu was not afraid of the eighteen people at all, and he also glared back angrily at those unfriendly eyes.
Uncle Chao looked at it from the side, and couldn't help but think in his heart: "This kid is good! Ordinary people are bitten like this by the eighteen big brothers in society, but I am afraid that they will already be scared to pee." He's not scared at all!"
"Wow, Wow......"
Outside the hall, the sound of a string of high-heeled shoes hitting the floor tiles sounded, and the hall door was suddenly pushed open, and a beautiful figure walked in.
It's Ou Sheng!
"Miss!"
Eighteen people stood up one after another and bowed respectfully 60 degrees to Ou Sheng.
"Sit down. ”
"Thank you, Miss!"
Eighteen people sat down one after another, straightened their waists, and extinguished all the cigarettes and cigars in their hands as if they were elementary school students in class.
Chen Xiu didn't treat Ou Sheng differently, and thought to himself: "This woman is really imposing, but as soon as she appears, she will make these eighteen people behave!"
"These eighteen people are not good at looking at them, if she doesn't have the ability herself, just relying on her father is Ou Jianhua, I'm afraid she won't make these eighteen people so awe-inspiring!"
After the eighteen people sat down, Ou Sheng also sat down and said, "Please come over for an urgent meeting today, and I want to announce two things. ”
Pointing to Chen Xiu, he introduced everyone and said: "This is Chen Xiu from Anshan, and you must unconditionally implement his orders in the future!"
As soon as Ou Sheng's words came out, everyone bowed their heads to each other and talked about each other, and Chen Xiu was also frightened, not understanding how Ou Sheng gave himself so much authority at once.
"If you have any doubts, don't discuss them privately!" Ou Sheng said unhappily.
Everyone was quiet all of a sudden, and they all looked at Ou Sheng's left hand with a middle-aged man in his forties and a meaty face.
The middle-aged man knew what everyone meant, so he had to bite the bullet and say, "Miss, I'm not doubting your decision. But...... Such an important decision, does Mr. Ou know?"
"This is Mr. Ou's decision!"
Ou Sheng looked around at everyone and continued: "Is there anyone else against it!"
"Don't dare...... Don't dare!"
Everyone waved their hands one after another, and Ou Sheng nodded with satisfaction.
"If you still have any questions, just say it!"
Everyone looked at Brother Bi again, and Brother Bi scolded in his heart: "Damn, why do you push me out and ask for anything!"
I had to ask again: "Miss, don't you know that this 'unconditional execution' includes the highest level of instructions?"
