Chapter 883: Mourning Star [Big Chapter]
At this moment, the Jiang family is shrouded in an atmosphere of depression and sadness.
So many days have passed, and those murderers have still not been brought to justice, and the Jiang family has reached an unprecedented critical moment.
If the "Red Ginseng" is not recovered, many people in the clan have lost their lives, and there is an economic crisis outside, and if the "Red Ginseng" cannot be recovered, they will face a high amount of liquidated damages; some people inside are disheartened, and the majority of the Jiang family is not thinking about how to survive this crisis, but is thinking about how to preserve their own interests.
For fear that the stock market would be affected, the Jiang family had done their best to block the news, and had not yet recovered from their grief and worry, but they had to hold family meetings again and again.
It was already late at night, but the family had once again held an emergency meeting.
"I'm sorry I'm late!" a young woman came in from outside, sweat on her forehead.
She wasn't very old, she looked like a college student, she wore a pair of short-sighted eyes, and her figure was thin.
"Mourning Star, it has harmed our Jiang family to such an extent, and we still have the face to come again!" At this time, a mean voice sounded suddenly.
"Look at this mourning star, what has happened since he came to our house!"
"Originally, I was not superstitious, but after she came, our Jiang family really didn't have a good day. ”
There were continuous harsh sounds, and although some people didn't say anything, their eyes were full of disdain, and it could be seen that there was more than one person targeting this woman.
The woman's expression was gloomy, she knew who the person who had just spoken, but she didn't say anything, and found a seat and sat down.
"Now that everybody is here, let's start the meeting and no one will be on the phone. Jiang Zhengyuan said in a majestic voice.
From his bloodshot eyes, it was not difficult to tell that he had not rested in days.
"There is bad news to tell everyone, the United States does not agree to our request, if we can't recover the stolen 'red ginseng' within a month, or find a way to deal with it, then we will face a high amount of compensation, which is not affordable for the current family. Jiang Zhengyuan frowned and said this.
"Uncle, how much money is left in the family now?" asked a junior, dressed very fashionably.
Jiang Zhengyuan did not answer this question, but said: "Now that the family has reached a difficult time, we must believe that the family can survive this hurdle." I hope that everyone can be of one mind and not put personal gains and losses above the family. ”
There was a sudden silence in the conference room, and everyone was making their own calculations.
"Although we blocked the news, but the paper can't hold the fire, once the news is spread by the media, our stock market will definitely suffer a heavy blow, in order to prevent this kind of thing from happening, I hope that everyone here, take out a part of the shares, it is a temporary loan from the family, after this pass, will definitely double the compensation......" Jiang Zhengyuan's words were not finished, and he was interrupted by people who were unwilling to cooperate.
"Uncle, there is such a big thing in the family suddenly, we are willing to contribute, but it is not too unreasonable to take out shares. At the moment, our priority is how to catch the murderer and recover the lost 'red ginseng', rather than how to reduce everyone's shares. ”
"Yes, there must always be a priority in things, and it is urgent to catch the murderer, and we should shift the focus of the discussion to 'Red King Ginseng'. ”
"If we find 'Red King Ginseng', not only do we not have to pay liquidated damages, but we will even get a large amount of capital injection, which is the most direct way to solve the crisis. ”
The conference room, which was originally quiet, suddenly became lively.
Jiang Zhengyuan's face was ugly, he didn't expect that his family would encounter a crisis, and his prestige would be greatly reduced.
"Enough!" Jiang Zhengyuan suddenly roared, which immediately quieted the noisy conference room.
"The gangsters who snatched the 'Red King Ginseng' are all international mercenaries, do you think you can solve the case by shouting a few words here?" Jiang Zhengyuan stared at him, and the bloodshot in it was clearly visible.
"Since you said that you are looking for the 'Red King Ginseng', okay, who will tell me, do you have any good suggestions?" Jiang Zhengyuan looked around, but no one spoke at this time.
Jiang Zhengyuan knows that it is not that these people are incompetent, but that these people are too selfish.
The room fell into a brief silence, and Jiang Zhengyuan didn't know what to say because of his anger.
"Uncle, if we can't retrieve the lost 'Red King Ginseng' so easily, can we find other 'Red King Ginseng'?" At this time, the woman who had been taunted earlier spoke up.
"Joke, do you think 'Red King Ginseng' is Chinese cabbage, is it so easy to get!"
"Ignorance is terrible!"
"Do you have the qualifications to speak here, you are a mourning star, Fang has killed your parents, and our Jiang family is not as good as a year, do you think this is not enough? What kind of enmity does our Jiang family have against you, and let you be so deliberately harmed!" said a middle-aged woman with an excited expression.
Jiang Xiaohong was very aggrieved in her heart, she didn't understand what she had done wrong, why did these people call themselves "Death Star" one by one?
My father's death was an accident, and my mother's death was an illness, what does it have to do with her?
The decline of the family is because of poor management, why should everything be pressed on her.
Since she entered the Jiang family, she has not had a good day, sometimes she really wants to go back to her childhood, even if she lived in an unknown town with her mother, even if she didn't have a lot of money at that time, but at least she was happy every day.
"You all shut up!" Jiang Zhengyuan roared again, and then fell into deep thought.
Jiang Xiaohong's words just now really reminded him.
Who said that "Red King Ginseng" is a rare treasure that must be unique?
Although he used to hold this concept, but now that he thinks about it, there may really be more than one "Red King Ginseng".
Jiang Zhengyuan thought of the purchase of "Red King Ginseng" at the beginning, and now that he thinks about it, he feels that there may really be other "Red King Ginseng" in the hands of that young man.
Even a very small "Red King Ginseng" is enough to break the impending death that their Jiang family is about to face.
Try it out, if you succeed!
Thinking of this, Jiang Zhengyuan couldn't sit still, anyway, this kind of meeting would not have any results, it was better to go to Kyoto City to find that young man.
After the meeting, Jiang Zhengyuan called Jiang Xiaohong over alone and decided to let Jiang Xiaohong accompany him to Kyoto City.
Jiang Xiaohong was a little surprised, although the uncle didn't mock her like others, he didn't seem to treat her very well, and he didn't expect to let her accompany her to do such an important thing this time.
It was also at this moment that Jiang Xiaohong knew that the "Red King Ginseng" in the family was bought from a young man.
The two booked a plane ticket overnight, but they didn't know that the person they were looking for had not been in Kyoto for a long time.
Early the next morning, Chu Feng came to the "Barren Mountain Ridge", and the students had already received the news and were waiting in the pavilion.
If nothing else, this will be a place where everyone will practice collectively for a period of time to come.
"Today, I have something very important to announce!" As soon as Chu Feng spoke, he attracted everyone's attention.
No one dared to discuss, let alone be distracted, and even breathed in a deliberate whisper.
"Today I want to show you what the monk holds. After Chu Feng finished speaking, he threw a look at Xia Zijun.
Xia Zijun understood, took out two exquisite wooden boxes, placed them on the stone table, and then looked at everyone with a smile, as if to say: Guess what's inside?
"Although you have only just come into contact with the practice of the 'Inner Strength Method', as long as you are willing to put your mind to it, sooner or later you will reach heights that even you dare not imagine. Chu Feng spoke again.
Everyone present began to look forward to it, because they heard a little bit of welfare from Chu Feng's tone.
"I'm curious about what's in the box?" Chu Feng saw everyone's thoughts and smiled lightly.
The people in front of them nodded in unison, they wanted to know too much what was in the box.
"Zijun, let's show everyone!" Chu Feng said.
Xia Zijun took one of the wooden boxes from the stone table, shook it a little mischievously in front of everyone, and then slowly opened it.
For a moment, everyone's eyes were focused on the items inside the wooden box.
When they saw what it was, everyone's expressions were a little disappointed, until Xia Zijun took the thing out of the wooden box, and everyone couldn't help but feel lost.
I thought it would be something good, but I didn't expect that it was just a gray cloth bag inside, with no decoration on the outside, as if it was sewn up with a pair of worn pants.
It's shabby!
"This is the first thing to show you, what do you think it will do?" Xia Zijun asked with a chuckle.
"Sister Jun, isn't this just a shabby cloth bag!" Guo Chengxiong was the first to speak.
Xia Zijun looked around at everyone and said with a smile: "It seems that everyone thinks so!"
Without much explanation, Xia Zijun suddenly reached into the cloth bag, and when she twitched her palm, everyone else present was startled.
As if by magic, Xia Zijun suddenly pulled out an incense burner from the cloth bag, made of pure metal, the size of a table.
"This ...... This ......" Guo Chengxiong was relatively close, and was directly taken aback.
Xia Zijun stopped teasing everyone and began to explain: "This is a 'storage bag' that can also be called a 'meson bag', which has a lot of space in it to store items conveniently, and it is a must-have for monks. ”
At this moment, all the people stared at the "storage bag" in Xia Zijun's hand without blinking, and no one dared to underestimate it.
"Oh my God, 'storage bag'? is this real?" Luo Cheng cried out, looking at the storage bag's gaze, full of fire.
"Do you want this?" Xia Zijun shook the "storage bag" in his hand.
"Think!" Guo Chengxiong and Luo Cheng shouted at the same time.
Others, although half a beat slower, have a very clear desire to want.
"This 'storage bag' is not something that anyone can use, first of all, you need to improve your cultivation realm, otherwise, even if you get this 'storage bag', it will be no different from an ordinary cloth bag. Xia Zijun said loudly.
However, at this moment, everyone couldn't listen at all, and poked their heads one by one, wanting to get a closer look at the storage bags.
"The teacher said that he would give this 'storage bag' to the top five students in the form of a reward. You don't need to pay any contribution points, as long as you rank in the top five in the cultivation realm, you can get it. Are you looking forward to it, and why don't you work hard for this kind of 'storage bag'?"
Xia Zijun was very serious at first, but after a while, he began to be naughty again.
The tone and demeanor of her speech were like a big bad wolf kidnapping a white rabbit.
Chu Feng looked at it from the side, but he didn't say anything, just smiled helplessly.
"I must squeeze into the top five!" Guo Chengxiong's eyes lit up, and he yelled directly.
He wanted to get this kind of "storage bag" so much, it was a magic weapon that could store things, even if the appearance was a little worse, but it could be a little more low-key.
Everyone's emotions were mobilized, but Xia Zijun put the storage bag back into the wooden box.
"The 'storage bag' just now, I believe everyone wants to get it, how to work hard, it's your business, let me show you what's in this wooden box?" Xia Zijun finished speaking, and took the other wooden box.
The wooden box was opened, and inside it was several sheets of square strip paper.
After the experience just now, everyone now does not dare to despise the pieces of paper in the wooden box, and they look forward to it one by one, hoping that Xia Zijun will stop peeling it and introduce it quickly.
"This is the Fu Seal, which the teacher wants to give to you!" Xia Zijun said.
Before everyone could react, the first question in their minds was, what is the "Fu Seal"?
"You have all taken it, don't damage it a little, otherwise, the loss will be your own!" Xia Zijun actually distributed it before introducing the talisman seal.
This is the main thing that Chu Feng wants to announce this time.
Since Luo Cheng's assassination last night, Chu Feng realized that not only must he improve the strength and cultivation of the students quickly, but also give them something to save their lives.
"Okay, now each of you has two rune seals in your hands, and the 'rune seal' just distributed to you is called 'Iron Armor', which belongs to the first-grade rune seal, and its function is similar to that of the iron cloth shirt, so that you can temporarily have the ability to be invulnerable. Xia Zijun finally began to introduce.
Everyone was startled, staring at the talisman in their hands, and their cautious looks looked as if they were holding a bomb that would explode at any moment.
But what everyone wants to know more now is, how to use this kind of "talisman seal"?
Xia Zijun didn't let everyone wait for a long time, only to see her bring a dead branch that was no more ordinary, hold it high in her eyes, and then asked: "This is a very ordinary branch, I will show you the magic of the talisman below." ”
After speaking, Xia Zijun pressed a talisman seal on his fingertips on the dead branch.
In an instant, the sigil dissipated, and the appearance of the withered branches did not change at all.
"Come on, come on, let's pass it on to each other, and if anyone can break this dead branch, they can send a 'storage bag' now. Xia Zijun let out the temptation and handed the withered branch in his hand to Guo Chengxiong first.
Guo Chengxiong tried with great anticipation, but he tried his best, but he couldn't shake the dead branches.
Everyone passed this dead branch to each other, and no one could break it.
Now I finally understand how amazing the "Fu Seal" is!
I know the magic of the rune, but if you want to activate the ability of the rune, you need to be able to use "qi".
As a result, everyone's fighting spirit for cultivation continued to rise, and they were even ready to live in the "barren mountain range".
Chu Feng and Xia Zijun, neither of them said anything about Luo Cheng's assassination.
Time flickered, nearly a week had passed, and everyone's cultivation passion was still there, and if they didn't cultivate enough, they wouldn't even be able to use the talisman.
These days, Chu Feng has gone to the "Barren Mountain Ridge" less often, and he began to study, how to make the "Fu Seal" easier to launch?
Is it true that only monks can use talismans, and ordinary people are destined to be unable to use them?
Chu Feng didn't believe it, he felt that he could find a way, once he succeeded, not only could ordinary people become extraordinary, but even under the premise of not being able to call on energy, he could still ensure the normal use of the talisman seal.
This morning, Chu Feng was studying the runes in the room alone, and even read a large number of books, but he had not found a breakthrough for the time being.
Suddenly, my mother's voice came from downstairs, saying that two people had come and had something important to look for him.
Chu Feng came out and looked at it, and couldn't help but be stunned.
One of them, he still has the impression that this one was among the people who bought "Red King Ginseng" in the first place.
Another young woman, Chu Feng saw it for the first time.
After knowing that these two people were members of the Jiang family, Chu Feng had already guessed the intention of the two of them to come here.
Sure enough, after a brief politeness, Jiang Zhengyuan said that he still wanted to buy "Red King Ginseng" again, and then began to pay attention to the change in Chu Feng's expression.
"Please go back, you two, I don't have 'Red King Ginseng' to sell to you. Chu Feng directly refused.
The current Chu Feng is not short of money, the Jiang family has already paid the price because of the "Red King Ginseng", and Chu Feng doesn't want to make trouble for himself at this time.
It's not that he's afraid, and he doesn't want to waste that time.
Jiang Zhengyuan did not give up immediately, and even said that he was willing to pay a higher price, but Chu Feng's attitude remained the same, and his reply remained the same.
There was no way, Jiang Zhengyuan could only leave with Jiang Xiaohong first.
It may be that a woman is careful, or it may be that a woman's sixth sense is strong, Jiang Xiaohong feels that here in Chu Feng, there must be a "red ginseng".
But she couldn't come up with any evidence, but that's what she thought in her heart!
In addition, she had a strange feeling, she always felt that the young man was very familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen it.
"Uncle, I want to try again!"
Jiang Xiaohong didn't want to leave like this, when she was very young, she learned not to give up easily in a little boy, and this time will be no exception.
"If there is any progress, notify me in time!" Jiang Zhengyuan is going back, and there is a lot of things waiting for him in the family.
So, Jiang Xiaohong would go to Chu Feng's residence in the next few days, she just stood outside, at a fixed time and in a fixed place, and one stop was several hours.
Days passed, and there was no turnaround.
Until this day, Chu Yun came home from vacation, and an incredible thing happened.
