[Chapter 163: Angry Elder + Chapter 164: Broken for You]
Chapter 163 Don't say if they are suspicious, after Zhang Zhe listened, he was a little skeptical that he had inadvertently obtained a piece of this 'Zhenguo Stone Tablet', otherwise he really couldn't explain his luck recently.
After listening to his inquiry, Sun Ruoying had a hint of a smile on the corner of her mouth, but she didn't say anything, while Xu Lao smiled awkwardly: "Xiao Zhang, don't be careful, we don't mean that." In fact, the 'Zhenguo Stone Tablet' is not something that you can steal or get as an ordinary person. ”
"That's big stuff?" Saying this, Zhang Zhe was relieved, it was none of his business. Otherwise, he really didn't know where to find a stone tablet to return to them.
"How big is the 'Zhenguo Stone Monument', where is it, and is each piece the same size and shape...... I don't know about these things, because no one has seen them with their own eyes, but there is such a shadow according to legend. Xu Lao smiled bitterly.
This made Zhang Zhe speechless, but he didn't believe that they just asked him to listen to a secret legend, and believed that there was something to follow.
"It's just a legend, but in some ways, we still have traces. From the discovery of this secret, there are generations of ancestors in the pursuit of the Zhenguo stele, in the national crisis, in addition to the imperial court's [***], but also want to try to explore whether it has anything to do with the Zhenguo stele, especially when the country was destroyed by the Mongols and Manchus. More than 100 years ago, not only the foreign Manchu Qing Dynasty, but also almost the West and the East destroyed the country, and the predecessors who knew this legend were looking for the Zhenguo stele, believing that there was a problem with the stele, hoping to save the country from this point of view......"
Seeing that Zhang Zhe didn't believe it at all, and even pouted a little, Xu Lao smiled understandingly: "Maybe for you, you don't believe in such a thing, but this is our belief!" As the saying goes, the rise and fall of a country is the responsibility of the husband, and in the years when the country is ruined and the family is ruined, everyone will want to do their best to contribute. Doctors rely on medical skills, writers rely on articles, warriors rely on steel guns, and feng shui masters will also fight by guarding the national fortune and dragon veins. Don't think that this is only available in China, Westerners don't understand feng shui, but the ancient family has studied this. ”
Zhang Zhe was in awe, "What you said is that no matter what form it takes, no matter how much power or influence it has, it is worthy of our respect. ”
Xu Lao nodded and continued: "In the nearly 100 years before and after, a large number of national treasures flowed out, and the European powers plundered countless cultural relics, antiques, works of art, not to mention gold and silver, etc. From the northeast to the southwest, almost half of China's Chinese people occupy the Yuankou, because of the same cultural origin, the scope of looting our treasures is wider. Hearing this, you should probably guess some of my identity, right? ”
"You're fighting for the Zhenguo Stone Monument in all your veins?"
"That's right! There are also many schools of Feng Shui, and different schools of thought have different research tendencies. The Zhenguo stele is indeed only our vein that is being pursued, and only a few other predecessors have understood it. Xu Lao sighed, "It is precisely because of this that we are weak!" At the end of the Qing Dynasty, after my ancestor's lifelong pursuit, the approximate scope of the 'Zhenguo Stone Tablet' in Kyushu has been locked. After that, everyone in my division participated in the protection, but after all, the world is too big to determine the specific location, and there are too few of us. I grew up with Master, and when I was in my 40s, I was about a teenager and didn't know much, but I already followed Master to participate in action. ”
"The end result?"
"Guess what?" When Xu Lao talked about his youth and the past of his master, he probably remembered his master, and he was a little embarrassed.
Zhang Zhe looked at him, connected what he said before and after, and tried to answer: "Is it that your predecessors are weak and weak in the face of the military strength, and in the end, the Zhenguo stele in Kyushu was snatched away by Yue himself and transported back to the island?" With the help of the miraculous power of these steles, coupled with the support of the United States and their own efforts, they recovered quickly after the war, took off economically, and steadily ranked among the developed countries, ranking second in the world for a long time. ”
Xu Lao nodded silently, and then sighed: "You guessed about it." Some families have been inherited for a long time, although they have also undergone many rights changes, but there has never been a Mongol, Manchu strangulation of the Han people in all aspects, this secret does not know in what era to spread to the book, by their oral tradition, and has been trying to find out through various ways, plotted. These include bringing teenagers who have been indoctrinated since childhood but who have learned Chinese into China to find feng shui masters to learn in the name of Han Chinese. In today's terms...... That ......"
"Undercover!"
"Yes, through many people who came undercover in China to learn about this situation. During the Sino-Chinese War, some people from the ancient family came to China to investigate with the protection and assistance of the military. Because they have accumulated a lot of clues, the Yue army has occupied almost the entire Central Plains, and it is easy to collect information on all aspects, plus many Han Jian, without knowing the details, will take the initiative to provide information that Yue himself inquired about......"
Zhang Zhe listened to the legend told by Xu Lao, and felt quite in the style of "Story Meeting", he raised his eyes and looked at Sun Ruoying, a person with an IQ like her, shouldn't believe such a story, right?
Sun Ruoying's performance is very calm, and she can't see what she thinks in her heart from the surface alone, and she is not fanatical or unbelieving.
"After the armistice and surrender, all the troops began to withdraw from China. Later, according to my master, at least two stone tablets of Zhenguo were transported back to China by myself! At that time, almost all of us died in the struggle against Yue himself, and my master and his old man did not die, but only suffered a lot of injuries. At that time, he calculated that there would be a catastrophe in the country in the future, and he could not escape the catastrophe. I asked a friend to bring me to Hong Kong...... Later, during the Cultural ~ Revolution, the master was a bull ghost and snake god who was criticized every day, and soon after the beginning of the ten-year turmoil, he was criticized and died. And I, carrying the burden of my teacher, have been concentrating on research for decades. I watched the victorious China be poor, civil strife, fanatic, hungry...... I also saw that the defeated country had risen rapidly. Living to the present, I have also seen the prosperity and decline of the book, and the negative pole of China. ”
Zhang Zhe felt that Xu Lao was still quite verbose, but according to what he just said, he calculated his age, at least ten years old, and it was normal to be verbose, so he could only listen patiently.
"Don't underestimate me! Although they have been students and vassal states of China for thousands of years, it is still said that we have lost all kinds of traditions and cultures, and we have carried them forward. As a result, many Westerners misunderstand that many Chinese things are based on the truth, including many of us young people, who also think that many things are said to be the people. For example, some Sui and Tang knives that have been lost in China will be thought to be katanas; The ancient 'hakama', if you come out now, you must think that you are a kimono, a samurai uniform, and ......"
Xu Lao's nagging, which made Zhang Zhe feel like an old and angry young man - it should be said that he was angry and old.
Sun Ruoying finally couldn't bear it anymore, and then said more quickly: "Now in the information age, the younger generation also has a lot of things that don't pay attention to oriental traditions. Therefore, some people take out the antiquities collected by the family in exchange for money, and now there is a batch of original cultural relics to be auctioned. Most of them were plundered from East and Southeast Asian countries during World War II, and China was the ......"
"There may be a stone tablet in the town?" Finally getting to the point, Zhang Zhe didn't like to let Xu Lao continue, and asked hurriedly.
"That's right! This time, one of the items was a stone tablet of unknown origin. No one can tell the age, origin and value of this stele, so it is the most variable among the auction items. After our investigation in various aspects, we felt that one of the Zhenguo steles that was taken from China back then may have a very large surname. If so, we will buy it back at any cost; But we can't leak the news, let alone let others know at any cost, otherwise it will not only waste a huge amount of money, but also may make the owner suspicious and not sell. ”
Zhang Zhe nodded: "Understood!" Whether it is a Zhenguo stele or not, whether it is so divine or not, since it is a Chinese thing, it should be taken back. But back then, like those ghosts in Europe, the things that were robbed for nothing back then now want to let us buy them back at sky-high prices, which is their second plunder! Sister Sun, I support you in stealing it back! If I can help, I don't know. ”
Xu Lao opened his mouth, probably wanting to speak, but Sun Ruoying had already interjected, and he also realized that he was speaking too slowly, so he didn't make a sound.
"The one who stole it back is not a big one. The political axe does not come forward to pursue it, and as a private person, it can only be repurchased by buying. The Europeans can slaughter Chinese fat sheep again and again, more because there are many nouveau riche with patriotic enthusiasm, they recover cultural relics for the country is incidental value, more for display, show off wealth, there is no shortage of Chinese and Chinese bidding for the situation. To put it simply, this time we want to spend the least amount of money and get things back in a low-key way. Sun Ruoying glanced at him: "Stealing naturally won't look for you, looking for you is because of your luck!" ”
Zhang Zhegan laughed: "Honestly...... I don't know why I've had so much luck lately. Since it's such an important thing, I don't mind being a mascot, but good luck and bad luck are not something I can control. In case ......"
Sun Ruoying interrupted him, "Originally, I was hesitant, but I was relieved last night." If you buy a lottery ticket once and you can win a hundred jackpots, is there any more perverted luck? ”
"......" Zhang Zhe sweated a little, and told the truth: "That was also in a thought, we originally bought a scratch-and-open lottery ticket, but I won fifty yuan, and I won more than 1,000 with others." If I hadn't accepted the suggestion of the person who sold the lottery ticket to buy a two-color ball, the 500 million would have passed me by. ”
"Don't ask about the process, but look at the results!"
Zhang Zhe also wanted to say, but at this time, Xu Lao couldn't help but speak: "Xiao Zhang, do you want to know why your luck is so against the sky?" ”
Chapter 164 broke the old man's words for you, which made Zhang Zhe suddenly startled, and after he discovered this law of getting better and better, he wanted to know why. But this is basically incomprehensible, he has done nothing, and there is no way to find out. Even Sun Ruoying can only find out that his luck has suddenly become very good, but there is no way to know why.
Now that this Xu Lao said this, he obviously knew something!
Although this can solve his mystery, he is definitely not happy. It's a mystery that can't be traced, and he can be very calm, but if he doesn't know it himself, but others know the reason, then it feels unpleasant to be seen through and not know it.
"Old Xu, do you know my luck...... Why? Even if it wasn't very comfortable, he could only ask at this time, since he knew that others knew, and he didn't know it, he would be even more unhappy, he glanced at Sun Ruoying again.
Sun Ruoying seemed to see his intentions, and explained lightly: "I'm also sure that after your luck became more and more magical, we began to study you, but we couldn't confirm it. This 100-bet jackpot may be a big footnote. ”
Zhang Zhe smiled reluctantly, he didn't mean to blame Sun Ruoying. "Old Xu, say it! I'm listening, whatever...... Even if I have to lose my life in the future, I can bear it. Hehe, this is automatically coming to the door, even if I want to hide, I can't dodge. ”
"You're pessimistic! This is not the case, but it is a great luck. Xu Lao took a sip of water, looking like he was going to put up a dragon gate array.
Sun Ruoying coughed and reminded: "Old Xu, I have to catch a plane later, let's make a long story short!" ”
"Uh-huh, long story short." Old Xu was a little embarrassed, and then looked at Zhang Zhe: "A few months ago, there was a magnitude 9 earthquake in Benben, you should know, right?" ”
Zhang Zhe shrugged, "This has triggered a nuclear leak, who doesn't know?" There are still so many people in China who grab salt, and there is a black-hearted trader who has hoarded tens of thousands of catties of salt. ”
Xu Lao nodded: "After our previous conversation, you should understand my identity, and there are some incredible things that cannot be guessed with common sense...... Let me tell you the truth, it was not only the earth and the sea that shook that time, but it also touched the veins of the country! ”
"The national line?" Zhang Zhe speculated about what this had to do with him, "Could it be...... Butterfly effect? One day I sneezed and it ended up triggering this magnitude 9 earthquake? ”
Xu Lao and Sun Ruoying were both thundered by his words.
"Uh...... To put it simply, in layman's terms, it is because of this magnitude 9 earthquake that at least one percent of the country's fortune will be leaked within a few years! ”
"Oh." Zhang Zhe agreed, but he didn't think so, the earthquake was originally a huge natural disaster, disaster relief, post-disaster reconstruction, and the nuclear power plant leakage incident, it is not surprising that it will affect Yicheng's GDP. If you change the country, the leakage will be mysterious?
"The so-called 'one life, two fortunes, three feng shui, four accumulation of yin virtue and five reading'. Fate and fortune are still before we can see the important surname. And now we are talking about not personal 'luck', but 'national luck'! It is the combination of countless mountains and rivers and dragon veins, and the common destiny of countless living beings. ”
"What do you mean...... Did I get this into the country? Zhang Zhe was dumbfounded.
Xu Lao smiled and shook his head: "Yicheng National Fortune allows you to be alone, it's too jealous." ”
Zhang Zhe was a little relieved: "That is, I also got a piece of the pie?" ”
"Life is congenital, luck is acquired, we can often hear people say that they have had bad luck recently, good luck recently, and we can also hear words about good luck and bad luck. Although there is no basis in 'modern science', there is a lot of practical experience. That's right, luck is fluid and transformative – you can also understand it in terms of the scientific law of the immortality of matter. Thirty percent of this leakage is said to be the country's own transport, of which 30 percent is scattered in the sea, and the benefits will be part of the sea area, the creatures in the sea area; Another 20 percent has spread to nearby areas, such as North Korea and South Korea, which are close to the original area; Or the Ryukyu Islands (Okinawa), which are far away from the main island......"
Hearing the old man's thoughtful analysis, Zhang Zhe couldn't bear it anymore: "Is there still fifty percent scattered in the air?" But I didn't fly over the sky! ”
"Nope! The remaining fifty percent has been transferred to Chinese mainland......" Xu Lao glanced at Zhang Zhe and smiled connotatively: "But it has not been integrated into the Chinese national movement, nor has it been scattered in the Northeast and Jiaodong...... I don't know why, after our deep investigation and careful pushing, we found a strange phenomenon! That is, these national fortunes are not evenly divided, and they are likely to be obtained by one person! ”
“……”
Silence, no need to say it directly, Zhang Zhe also knows that this one is likely to be him!
"I was very confused when I first confirmed this. I really can't figure out why this is happening, and this national fortune has become a personal fortune, so it can no longer be traced. can only wait for fortune to affect the individual and stand out above everyone before he can investigate whether he has it. ”
Sun Ruoying continued: "This matter is known to only a few masters of Xu Lao. When I first met you, I didn't know either. Later, your luck became more and more unlucky, but the results of my investigation showed that you did not cheat at all, nor did you have any magic, which is really incredible. Xu Lao came because of the Zhenguo stele, let him know about it, and he was very excited, so he personally understood and inspected you, and saw if you got the five points of national luck...... And because of the matter of the Zhenguo Stone Monument, we thought that maybe we could ask you to help! ”
"......" Zhang Zhe continued to be silent, the approximate reason was already known, and it didn't matter what the specific details were.
"Before last night, we weren't very sure, your luck was good, but it wasn't atmospheric enough. It's just tens of millions, it's nothing. But you're still the luckiest one, and you'll be much luckier with us. And when you win the jackpot of 100 bets and the prize money is as high as more than 500 million, we are all relieved, it is you! After Sun Ruoying finished speaking, she stared at Zhang Zhe and asked, "Before I asked you to do something, I didn't hide it from you and told all the situation." I hope to get your sincere help, and I don't want you to be in a depressed mood. ”
Zhang Zhe smiled bitterly: "Don't be careful!" I'm fine, I don't blame you, I'll go. It's just that...... After all, things are too unbelievable, and when I suddenly hear such news, I might as well tell me that I have crossed over. ”
"It's right to give you time to calm down, but you have to be quick! Because luck is very magical and ethereal, maybe your mood will affect your luck and our plans. Sun Ruoying said seriously.
Zhang Zhe nodded, then took a breath and took the initiative to ask, "Old Xu, I want to know why it's me." ”
"Huh?" Xu Lao didn't react for a moment.
"Why can I get these five points? According to your analysis, I feel that the thing should be like air, diffusing and radiating around, the closer you go, the thicker it gets, and the farther away it gets, the lighter it gets. Shouldn't most of that be left in the country? How could nearly half of them come to China, which is farther away than North and South Korea, and come here inexplicably, which is not close to the sea. Finally, why did you choose me? Zhang Zhe asked in one breath.
Xu Lao pondered for a moment and said cautiously: "We call it 'leakage', that is, it is to be left in the land of Yue, because how can it still be obtained by himself." So it's not just one percent that's triggered, it's just one percent that leaks. As for why nearly half of them ran farther away and landed on you alone, I can't explain it! If I had to say, it would only be the miracle of nature. ”
"Nature's miraculous ......" Zhang Zhe stared at him, wanting to see through the old man's heart. He doesn't want to continue what he just happened - others know your secrets, but you don't know anything about yourself!
Xu Lao was looked at by him and smiled bitterly: "Xiao Zhang, we fell in love at first sight, and now we have a common goal, how can I hide it from you?" I even told you the stone tablet of Zhenguo and the secrets of my master, so you can't believe me, an old man? ”
Sun Ruoying also interjected: "Zhang Zhe, don't be entangled. You've got a big deal out of it! As for the reason...... Just as you know its origin today, perhaps one day the secret will be revealed by you. It makes no sense for you to question Xu Lao, we can also think that you know the root cause, but you just didn't tell us? ”
Her persuasive ability is still very strong, and this empathy made Zhang Zhe not continue to ask.
"Forget it, maybe I'm a pawn in the hands of some big guys. And no matter how powerful the big take, in the world and the earth, it is just a chess piece. Zhang Zhe smiled self-deprecatingly: "You're right, anyway, I got a big bargain." Ok, I'm not going to dwell on it, now let's talk about the destination of this trip! ”
Sun Ruoying looked at him for a while and saw that although he had not fully recovered, at least his state was controllable and he was not emotionally disturbed. "I've booked a plane ticket and I'll fly to Hong Kong later."
"Hong Kong?" Zhang Zhe was a little surprised, he knew that he was leaving Dongshan, but he didn't expect the destination to be Hong Kong.
"What's the problem? The auction will take place on Saturday night on a gambling boat sailing from Hong Kong on the high seas. The meeting will pass today, so that everyone can rest first and make all preparations. You don't have to do much to prepare, just adjust your emotions and keep your luck going. So as I said before, if you really need it, I can arrange a woman for you to ensure that you have fun. Sun Ruoying said calmly.
Zhang Zhe was a little sweaty, he just thought of Ruan Mengmeng going back to Hong Kong, and he didn't think about it so much at all.
Xu Lao's understanding of Zhang Zhe is obviously not enough, not as good as Sun Ruoying, hearing this, he probably thought he was a hungry ghost in the color, and couldn't help but remind: "** will be pleasant, and it will make people indulge, it will directly affect people's mental state, and then affect luck, even if you can't help it, you have to wait until the matter is over......"
Zhang Zhe was even more embarrassed, being seriously explained by such an old man who could be a grandfather, he really couldn't pull his face. could only glare at Sun Ruoying, if she hadn't brought up this topic, where would it be so embarrassing?
Sun Ruoying raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and seemed to be very satisfied with his embarrassment of being persuaded by the old man.
Seeing her appearance of controlling everything in her hands made Zhang Zhe a little unhappy, and he wanted to disgust this strong woman. He thought for a moment, and then said seriously: "Old Xu, don't worry about this, I, Zhang Zhe, am measured." As the saying goes, 'a knife on the head of the color word'! ”
Old Xu was relieved and agreed: "That's right, wine is a poison that pierces the intestines, and the color is a bone scraping knife." You can see through it at a young age, you are really very wise! ”
Zhang Zhe's Khan, Huigen...... Are you always a feng shui master or a mage? "Well, but I think that's a little bit inaccurate......"
"Oh? I would like to hear about it. "Elder Xu has a very good impression of this young man.
"'A knife on the head of the color character', this is interpreted according to the structure of the word. The top of the word "color" is indeed "knife", but there is a lower part of this word! The upper one is a 'knife' and the lower one is a 'ba', I think the ancient man-made words should not be as simple as representing 'scar (ba)'. ”
Now young people still study Chinese characters, which really makes Xu Lao very appreciative, and he also asked with interest: "Then do you think there is any deep meaning?" ”
At this time, Zhang Zhe saw that Sun Ruoying had already frowned, and it was estimated that she had guessed. This made him secretly excited, aren't you very smart and good? I'll give you a wretch's wreck! Afraid that she would leave under the pretext, he hurriedly said: "So I don't think 'a knife on the head of the color word' is not accurate enough, it should be 'a knife on the color word', this 'ba', of course, should not refer to the mouth, that, you know......"
Zhang Zhe was discussing with Xu Laozheng obscenely, but he looked at Sun Ruoying with a mocking smile in his eyes.
"Cough, cough ......" It should have been decades since Xu Lao left that word, so he reacted after a while, and he couldn't help but blush and cough dryly. The young man was so violent, he didn't dare to answer.
Sun Ruoying still sat very calmly, and did not feel embarrassed, but there was a slight flash of anger and fierceness in her eyes with him.
Seeing that she was not disturbed, let alone disgusted and irritated. Zhang Zhe was a little unwilling, and continued: "Then again, in fact, I am still a virgin, of course, I don't need to rely on this indulgence to maintain a good mood. Alas...... If Miss Sun could accompany me, I would be very happy and excited anytime and anywhere. ”
Sun Ruoying snorted slightly: "Don't worry! Not only will Elder Xu go, but I will also go. Just keep your mood, be your mascot, and bring good luck to everyone! ”
She got up and went to her desk, made a phone call, and said the car was ready. Let them leave the company together and go to the airport.
Xu Lao was alone in Sun Ruoying's office, he was very old, but his body was quite tough, but after he came out, someone immediately took care of him and walked in front, although he was not an ordinary person.
When Zhang Zhe walked in the direction of the elevator, Sun Ruoying caught up with him from behind and said in a voice of only two people: "It's still a virgin, right?" The thing was successful, and I arranged for ten beauties to break it for you. ”
"Uh...... What if it doesn't work out? Zhang Zhe didn't believe that she had such a good heart.
"I won't treat you badly, I will arrange ten beauties to break it for you."
(To be continued)
