Chapter 420: Strange Beads
There was nothing to do all the way, Meng Zitao arrived home safely, and then went to the family's fruit shop for a while, and then drove to the villa. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
After washing up, Meng Zitao returned to the study and took out the ring he had won from Boss Bai and the dragon turtle made of unknown materials.
Needless to say, the most important thing is the ring face, he used a tool to remove the ring face, the thing looks similar to a ruby, but there are still some differences, as for what kind of gem, he has never seen it before.
After taking out the tools of appreciation, I carefully observed it with a light, magnifying glass, etc., and this object had the characteristics of a gemstone, but it was not the same as a known gemstone.
"Could it be a meteorite falling from the sky?" Strange, Meng Zitao couldn't help but guess, but if it was a meteorite, the ability should be able to give value, and now this result is a bit strange.
Meng Zitao frowned slightly, thinking about the information in his memory, and suddenly, a thought flashed in his mind, this ring and the half of the strange bead he got earlier seem to be about the same size, and there is only half of it, can't the two be the whole?
Thinking about it again, Meng Zitao felt that it was unlikely, because the appearance of the two beads was obviously different, and there was a lava-like air flow flowing in that half of the beads, and there was nothing strange about the inside of this half bead, which was why Meng Zitao didn't think about it at first.
But anyway, since you think of it, let's try it, and be a dead horse as a live horse doctor.
So, Meng Zitao walked into the underground treasure room and walked to the Bogu shelf where the half of the bead was placed.
The beads are still the same as when they were obtained, there is no change, and the ten thousand sword has shown an extraordinary side, the sword body is like a pool of autumn water, but the cold light is cold, and like the legend, Meng Zitao gently knocked the sword body, and the sound of the sword resounded throughout the treasure room.
The half of the beads were taken down from the Bogu shelf, and the two beads were placed in the palms of the left and right hands respectively, and the comparison found that they were indeed of average size, and the shape was the same.
In this case, Mencius put the left and right half of the beads together, and then, he felt a burning hand, as if he was holding a red-hot steel in his hand, so he hurriedly threw the beads out.
The sudden change caught Meng Zitao a little off guard, and he was even more confused, and he couldn't figure out what was going on at all.
So, he hurriedly looked at the beads and found that the beads that were originally separated seemed to melt and slowly merged together.
Moreover, what surprised him even more was that the half of the bead he got from Boss Bai was originally red, but now it slowly turned transparent, and as the red receded, something seemed to be reactivated inside, and slowly a white mist began to loom.
After about half a minute, half of the red went to the other side, and the color on this side was even more delicate, making people feel a sense of confusion when they saw it.
At this time, Meng Zitao's heart was already filled with curiosity, and he didn't care about this, he walked over, and touched the beads with lightning speed, but there was nothing unusual at all. It was as if the heat was a hallucination he had generated.
picked up the beads, and there were no traces of burning on the floor, which made Meng Zitao a little baffled, and then put his eyes on the beads.
The bead was divided into the center, half red and delicate, and the inside was the same as before, with lava flowing and swirling. It's just that Meng Zitao has seen too much, so he doesn't feel much.
On the other side, from a position near the center, a trace of mist is emitting, and the new mist merges into the mist in the beads, and the mist continues to grow. And this mist is constantly flowing and rotating in the transparent half of the beads, and the same as the lava-like air flow on the other side.
However, the fog was generated quickly at first, but it slowed down immediately, and after waiting for several minutes, there was not a trace of fog produced.
Meng Zitao estimated that this thing was just like the Guanyin bottle that produced spiritual liquid, and it would take a lot of time to absorb the substances between heaven and earth before it could produce mist.
Meng Zitao stared at the bead for a while, and after the stage of feeling novelty, this bead was nothing special, use the ability to sense, or like that, there was no reaction at all.
Meng Zitao guessed that it could be because the mist inside the half bead had not yet reached equilibrium with the lava-like air flow next to it, so its function could not be seen? But at the current speed, when will it be balanced?
Meng Zitao was a little depressed, how could he get some strange things during this time, this bead is like this, and the dragon turtle is the same, he just put it next to the Guan Sheng painting, and so far, there has been no response.
If you look closely, you can't find anything special, you have to say that it is worthless, but this thing is worth some money just by the carver!
"Forget it, take your time, believe that sooner or later you will have a chance to open their secrets. ”
Meng Zitao comforted himself, and then went upstairs to check the information, and he was also ready for the treasure exploration in July.
The next day, Meng Zitao went to the master to say hello and told the master what happened in the last paragraph.
Zheng Anzhi also heard about Meng Zitao's encounter with the black fire, and he reassured Meng Zitao that as long as his old bones are there, the people of the black fire dare to come here to make trouble, then let them have no return!
Originally, Meng Zitao was still a little worried about an organization like Black Fire, but the master made such a guarantee, which made him feel very relieved. Of course, he still does the security measures that should be done.
Zheng Anzhi taught Meng Zitao some knowledge, and when he saw that there was no problem, he let Meng Zitao do his own thing.
Meng Zitao went to the antique shop first, Hu Yuanliang is indeed a good operator, the antique shop is under his hands, the management is well organized, and the business has also gone up a level. In addition to the supply of goods, there is basically no need for Meng Zitao to worry about anything.
In addition, Meng Zitao is also very satisfied with Zhu Xinyue's performance, he is diligent, studies hard, and is relatively humble, what is there to disagree with people of this age?
Meng Zitao checked the accounts, chatted with Hu Yuanliang for a while, and then drove to He Wanyi's store.
On the way, Meng Zitao received a call from Lao Yang, saying that his friend in Wenling had finally heard back.
Lao Yang's friend learned some information about Iron Sheet from his friend, this guy actually specializes in ghost goods and smuggling business, he is very cunning, since the police failed to arrest him a month ago, he has disappeared, and no one knows where he is.
Hearing that this is the case, Meng Zitao has nothing to do, but since he knows who this person is, he also has a goal, and he will no longer be as energetic as before.
Thanks to Lao Yang for his help, Meng Zitao asked Lao Yang again and asked his friend to remember to inform him if there is the latest news. Lao Yang also agreed.
When I came to He Wanyi's store, the clerk and Xiaoyun were entertaining guests, and He Wanyi was sitting behind the cash register, memorizing things.
Meng Zitao stepped forward gently, but when he was about to walk to the cash register, He Wanyi raised his head and looked at him with a smile.
Meng Zitao smiled: "How did you find me?"
He Wanyi smiled gracefully: "Have you become stupid, it's not like I didn't pretend to be monitored." ”
Meng Zitao smiled: "I forgot just now, I haven't seen you for a few days, do you miss me?"
"I didn't think about what would happen to you?" He Wanyi asked with a smile.
"Heartbroken, of course. Meng Zitao made an exaggerated expression.
"Virtue!" He Wanyi glanced at Meng Zitao, and then said: "Let's talk about your business, I think the experience accumulated here is almost the same, and I want to give this store to Xiaoyun." ”
Meng Zitao said: "Okay, do you still want to do this business?"
He Wanyi said: "Of course, I like this industry very much, and I have accumulated so much experience, I can't change careers again immediately, right?"
Meng Zitao said: "That's okay, I'll find someone right away......"
He Wanyi interrupted Meng Zitao's words and said, "You don't need to find someone, I can do it myself!"
Meng Zitao knew that He Wanyi was a soft character on the outside and strong on the inside, and he was very concerned about the eyes of others, hearing her say this, he also knew why, so he persuaded: "Wanyi, in fact, you don't have to do everything yourself, the person who can talk about you, even if you do well, he (she) will find all kinds of reasons to slander you, why do you always care about other people's eyes?"
In fact, like He Wanyi, there are not a few people who live in the eyes of others, they care too much about others' evaluation of themselves, and too much about the impact of their actions on others, no matter who these "others" are, in the long run, they will live a very tiring life.
From the perspective of empathy and consideration for others' feelings, it is correct to care about the eyes of others, but from the perspective of treating oneself, it is wrong.
Mencius continued: "Actually, if you think about it, how many people around you deserve our attention so much? Why can't we say it when we should refuse? When we care about the feelings of others, do others also care about our feelings? How many people do things that deviate from their true intentions in exchange for the approval of others? And are these people the people we should care about the most?"
Therefore, although we cannot live in a vacuum, we cannot pay special attention to the eyes of others, or even influence our own behavior with the eyes of others, which is a big mistake. I think we should try to go our own way and be our true selves, you know what I mean?"
He Wanyi was silent for a while, and said: "I understand what you mean, but after so many years, I have also gotten used to it, if it is really like what you said, I guess it will take some time." ”
Meng Zitao smiled: "I didn't let you do it overnight, in fact, you just need to remember one thing and don't let yourself live too tired." Okay, that's all for this topic, I'll find someone to design the decoration of the new store. ”
"Hmm!" He Wanyi smiled sweetly at Meng Zitao.
"Hey, you're showing affection again, can you take care of us!" Xiaoyun walked over.
"You can also go and call Brother Hongchang over. Meng Zitao laughed.
Xiaoyun pouted: "Come on, how can he have a boss like you, and he was sent to Menyang City on a business trip yesterday." ”
"What are you doing?" Meng Zitao asked.
Xiaoyun replied: "It seems to be a contract to sign, you are the boss, I don't know this?"
"I don't care about these things. Meng Zitao spread his hands.
"Hey, it's still as comfortable as you, it's like we do in the service industry, and the mouths are dry, people just don't buy it, it's a complete waste of my time." Xiaoyun sighed and took a sip of water.
Meng Zitao said with a smile: "In the future, you will be the boss, don't you just do it." ”
Xiaoyun said: "Let's talk about it later!"
He Wanyi smiled: "Don't go later, I just told Zitao, this store will be given to you." ”
"Ahh
He Wanyi said a little strangely: "Didn't you tell me a few days ago about your plans after taking over?
Xiao Yun said with some twists: "But I don't have enough money on hand." ”
In fact, if she asked her family for it, the money would definitely be abundant, but because of her marriage to Meng Hongchang, she had an awkward relationship with her family, so she didn't want to borrow money from her family.
He Wanyi smiled: "It's okay, I still have some funds in my hand, enough for me, let's talk about the money when you have plenty of money, who are we with whom?"
Xiaoyun said solemnly: "As the old saying goes, my brother still has to settle accounts, and I must give you money." ”
Meng Zitao persuaded: "Xiaoyun, don't worry about money, we just started a business, how can there be no difficulty! Besides, Wanyi has me here." ”
"One yard to one yard ......"
"Don't be a yard or a yard......"
He Wanyi interrupted Xiaoyun's words, and together with Meng Zitao, he persuaded a few more words, and Xiaoyun didn't mention the money, but judging from her expression, he would only let go if He Wanyi's money was returned.
After a brief lunch, Meng Zitao took He Wanyi to the shop in Jijing Yayuan, and the people from the decoration company had already arrived. Since He Wanyi already has a plan, there is no need for Meng Zitao to worry about this matter, and it will be dealt with quickly, as long as the decoration company comes out with the decoration drawings tomorrow, if there is no problem, it will come over for decoration the day after tomorrow.
