Qi Xiang walked very fast, and disappeared into the night in a blink of an eye......

The old Taoist priest was in the void, looking at Qi Xiang's disappearing figure, his expression was very solemn, I don't know why, he had a hunch, I'm afraid this matter is not over.

In other words, once the causal relationship is involved, it is difficult to cut off.

What the old Taoist priest thought, Qi Xiang didn't know, anyway, when he left the house, he came to Yueyang City again. After a night in the city, the next morning, we came to a lively street in the middle of the city.

On the street, there are teahouses.

Qi Xiang asked for a pot of Junshan silver needles and two or three plates of refreshments at the window of the teahouse, and then tasted it slowly, leisurely and quite complacent.

He drank his tea and looked underneath.

Looking from the window of the teahouse, there is a shop on the side of the street directly opposite, and that is his goal. The old Taoist priest said that the Lu Zu hundred-character tablet was hidden in the shop.

Qi Xiang looked at it and saw that the store was very dilapidated, and the business was not very good for those who sold daily groceries. The lively streets are constantly filled with vehicles and pedestrians, but not many people stop to buy groceries.

"Yes, it saves a lot of trouble."

Seeing this, Qi Xiang nodded with satisfaction, slowly finished the tea, solved the refreshments, and then leisurely checked out and walked towards the opposite store.

Seeing the customer enter the door, the owner of the store, a middle-aged man about fifty or sixty years old, hurriedly greeted him and asked with a smile: "Little brother, what are you going to buy?" ”

"I'll look at ......"

Qi Xiang looked left and right, and then walked around the store, and he could see it more clearly. The area of the store is not very large, just more than 30 square meters. Four or five shelves were placed.

On the shelves, a variety of daily necessities are placed in a neat and orderly manner, and the goods are complete, similar to a small supermarket.

The problem is that there are two or three large shopping malls, shopping malls and supermarkets in the vicinity of the store, and such small stores are not very competitive at all, so it is no wonder that business is cold.

The business in this shop is all based on a small tobacco counter. From time to time, there are passers-by, too lazy to go to the large supermarket, and simply buy cigarettes, lighters, chewing gum, ice drinks or something here, so that the store can stay afloat and not go out of business.

However, depending on the situation, this business can only make a living, and it will definitely not make a fortune.

Qi Xiang walked around, and he also had a plan in his heart. Beckoned directly: "Boss......"

"In!"

The shopkeeper hurriedly greeted him and said with a smile: "Little brother, what do you want to buy?" ”

"There's no hurry."

Qi Xiang waved his hand and asked with a smile: "You are in this shop." Is it rented, or is it your own? ”

"Huh?"

The shopkeeper was stunned and puzzled: "Little brother, why are you asking this?" ”

"This shop. If it's a rental, I want you to sublet it to me. Qi Xiang smiled: "If it's your own store, it's even better." Just rent it to me. ”

"Huh?"

The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment and said in surprise: "You want to rent a storefront?" ”

"yes."

Qi Xiang said as if he was stunned: "The location of your store is good, but the business you do is not very good." It's better to rent it to me, collect rent every month, and make more money by ensuring income in drought and flood. ”

The shopkeeper frowned and wanted to refute it, but after thinking about it, it seemed to be true. He looked Qi Xiang up and down and asked, "What are you going to do when you rent a shop?" ”

"What kind of business do I have, let's not talk about it for now." Qi Xiang smiled: "I just want to ask you, do you have any intention of renting?" ”

"Why, I'm afraid I'll copy your idea."

The shopkeeper was slightly dissatisfied, and then seriously considered, whether it was cost-effective to open his own store or rent it?

If it had been before, he would have chosen to open his own store. It's hard work, but if you get up early and stay dark, you can make a lot of money when the big shopping malls close.

But now, the children are married, and even the grandchildren are about to have grandchildren, it seems that it doesn't have to be so hard, right? Besides, hugging grandchildren and enjoying family fun is definitely happier than boring visiting the store.

I don't know why, in the small talk with Qi Xiang, the shopkeeper thought a lot.

Anyway, it didn't take long for him to agree to the request to rent a store in a daze, and even the amount of rent, how much to pay in advance, and the contract agreement had been finalized.

Get a lawyer, print the contract, and sign it.

The process is incredibly fast, and it has been over in only half a day.

In the afternoon, the shopkeeper carried a bag and slowly rode home, and was blown by the cool breeze, he suddenly woke up, and then was shocked. What's going on, how did you agree to rent out the shop?

He was a little dazed, and he didn't know how to tell his family after he went back?

But soon, he found the bag he was carrying, thick and hard, with bundles of banknotes inside. The rent for a whole year is more than 100,000 yuan, which is more than opening a small store by yourself.

Holding his waist bag, he immediately settled down, and he was in high spirits and did not panic at all. If you have money, your waist will naturally be straight.

As soon as the shopkeeper left, he moved the goods from his store by the way, and when the store was empty, Qi Xiang immediately contacted the decoration team to seal the store, and then started to dismantle the original layout of the store and redecorate......

It's so efficient, it's too fast.

The shopkeepers next to him were amazed one by one.

Sure enough, time is money, just during the period of reform and opening up, it is estimated that there is such efficiency, so that China has become the pillar of the world economy in just a few decades, squeezing into the top of the world.

In short, bang, bang, toss for an afternoon. At night, the renovation team did not work, directly blocked the store, and then took the wages settled that day, patted the ass and left, leaving a messy scene.

This situation is exactly what Qi Xiang wants to see.

He sent them away, and then stayed alone in the store until late at night.

During the daytime, the lively flow of people and vehicles during the day also gradually decreased, and finally disappeared. On the streets of Nuoda, there are only blazing street lamps, and they are still flashing brightly.

Suddenly, in front of the store, a light flashed, and with a snort, it was inexplicably dimmed. As soon as the lights dimmed, the shop became pitch black, and even the shadows of the trees became darker.

However, such a situation. The sparse pedestrians on the street will definitely not be noticeable for a while. Besides, even if you notice it and call someone to come over for maintenance, it will take a while.

During this period of time, it was just convenient for Qi Xiang to act.

At this time, Qi Xiang sat in the shop, his spirit was out of his body, and after swimming in the air in a circle, he first explored the solid and hard ground of the shop.

Moment. Qi Xiang's divine soul drilled into the formation a few meters away, and suddenly felt a blazing hot energy, burning and boiling on the divine soul......

The sudden pain naturally frightened him and hurriedly drifted back.

In the gap of flying back, he looked back in a panic, and vaguely, as if he saw golden words. It hovers and dances in the void space of the stratum, intertwined like fireworks.

"Hundred-character tablet?"

Qi Xiang's soul returned to his body, and a feeling of weakness and weakness immediately struck his whole body. He was very uncomfortable.

"I didn't expect that there would be such a situation down there!"

Qi Xiang was not surprised, but even more convinced that the old Taoist priest did not lie. There is indeed a mystery hidden in this underground.

"But why, knowing there's something underneath, but not moving it away?"

Qi Xiang was thinking about this. Before, he also felt that there might be some traps in this, and the old Taoist priest wanted to plot against him, so he didn't dig it rashly. Now it seems that it is his villain's heart.

At the time of thinking, Qi Xiang also stabilized his mind, calculated the location in the store, and then began to excavate.

There were tools left by the renovation team in the shop, and Qi Xiang lifted a hoe, raised it high and then fell heavily, and the tip of the hoe penetrated the hard floor silently.

Qi Xiang pried and dug up a layer of hard concrete from the store, and there was a layer of mud underneath.

After digging two or three meters deep, Qi Xiang felt that the soil was getting looser and looser, and then the hoe suddenly emptied, breaking a wooden plank, and a hole appeared in the ground.

Basement......

Inside the layer, there is a very secret basement.

Qi Xiang has seen a lot of underground spaces like this, and he doesn't think it's strange. He exhaled, immediately threw down his hoe, lit another candle, tied it with a string, and carefully hung it down in the basement.

As soon as the candle fell, the bright candlelight dimmed a little, indicating that there was a lack of oxygen inside.

Maybe there are other toxic gases that you can't just go into. Therefore, Qi Xiang waited until the candlelight burned fully and returned to normal condition, and then he entered the underground secret room space with confidence.

The space underneath is dark, and even if there is a candle illuminating it, it is impossible to see the specific situation.

Fortunately, Qi Xiang's eyes were bright, and with the dim light, he could barely see the situation in the entire underground secret room clearly. I saw that there was nothing in the space, and it was quite clean when it was empty.

As for the words, stone tablets and the like, none of them are missing.

"Huh?"

Qi Xiang looked around, his brows naturally furrowed, it didn't feel right. What about the 100-character tablet written by Lu Zu himself, I saw it just now, why are people coming in now, but there is no trace?

"No, there must be something wrong."

Qi Xiang groaned, and he could also see that there were no traps here. However, there are also some small mysteries that people can't understand for a while.

"Sure enough, Lu Zu's hundred-character tablet is definitely not that simple."

Qi Xiang thought about it, if it was a hundred-character tablet, it was really just a stone tablet, I am afraid that the old Taoist priest would have moved away a long time ago, so why let it be buried in this secret room and not see the light of day for a long time.

"Think about it, maybe ......" Qi Xiang stared intently at the wall of the secret room, and when he held the candle and watched, he found that the wall was made of tightly and hard blue bricks.

In addition, he also noticed that these fine-textured green bricks are not arranged in a uniform manner.

Qi Xiang's fingers swept over the green bricks one by one, only to see that the green bricks were arranged in a fancy pattern, and the staggered stacks formed a fairly regular pattern.

"These patterns, they should be the key, right?"

Qi Xiang squinted and looked at it, and his heart was also immersed in it. Soon after, he had read all the fancy patterns on the four walls, and vaguely seemed to have grasped some mysteries...... (To be continued......)
