Chapter 983: Alchemy Thoughts
Li Huaimu looked outside, his eyes suddenly shrank. He was different from his uninformed mother-in-law. Although Li Huaimu is not welcomed and lives in poverty, he is also a big official in the secular world in the Hongchen Outer Land, and he has seen a lot of scenes.
The clothes worn by these people in front of him seem to be ordinary, but no matter the cut, or the version and material, they are all very high-grade, Li Huaimu only glanced at it, and found that the clothes on this group of people are probably no less than 100,000, not to mention the watches and necklaces they are carrying.
Li Huaimu thought about it, stood up, and said, "Several, is there something wrong?" ”
Boss Liu and a few people glanced at each other, stepped forward, and said with a smile: "Minister Li, I heard that you and Inspector Zhou of the inspection compound are friends, and we have something we want you to help with." ”
Li Huaimu frowned slightly when he heard this, stretched out his hand to block it, then looked at the fat daughter-in-law and said, "You go out to cook, this is a man's business." ”
The fat daughter-in-law still wanted to lose her temper, but suddenly felt that her husband suddenly had a sense of majesty, as if she was a real official with real power, she didn't dare to speak, and walked out honestly.
Boss Liu and the others stayed in the room for more than half an hour before they walked out. When they came out, these people also respectfully called out to the fat daughter-in-law, Mrs. Minister.
Where has the daughter-in-law experienced this kind of treatment, she stood in place in a daze, not knowing how to answer.
After being stunned for a while, she returned to the house and asked, "Husband, what did the boss tell you?" ”
Li Huaimu was lying on the sofa, sipping tea, and said slowly: "It's nothing, it's just something to ask me for help." After speaking, he pointed to the gift box next to him and said, "This is all from them, you put it away, I'm too lazy to look at it." After speaking, he sipped his tea with a little smile on his face.
The fat daughter-in-law's eyes lit up when she saw the gift, and she couldn't care about Li Huaimu's attitude, so she hurriedly opened it and suddenly exclaimed: "Oh my God! Yong'an's jewelry! This, that's what diamonds are? ”
I saw that inside this small gift box, there were seven or eight small gift boxes, each of which was only five or six centimeters large, and after opening, the diamond platinum necklace, the bracelet inlaid with jewelry, as well as the diamond ring and earrings, each brand, was a fat daughter-in-law in her life dare not think.
This alone is worth more than 300,000.
The fat daughter-in-law trembled and stroked, that look, for fear of rubbing it but reluctant to put it down, Li Huaimu saw it, and said lightly: "Look at your appearance, you are also a minister's wife, this kind of thing, there will be more in the future, you are always like this, isn't it a heart attack?" ”
The fat daughter-in-law smiled stupidly, put it on herself, and after a while, she remembered something and said, "Husband, do you mean that there will be such a thing in the future?" ”
The words were full of unbelief.
Li Huaimu didn't bother to refute.
At this time, there was another knock on the door outside, and a few more people walked in, and the fat daughter-in-law saw that several people were still carrying gift boxes this time, and she couldn't help but open her mouth wide in surprise.
Without Li Huaimu to say, the fat daughter-in-law took the initiative to retreat, but she was curious in her heart, and couldn't help but listen outside, it turned out that these were all bosses, listening to their introductions, each of them was a fat daughter-in-law who went shopping and only dared to look outside the door, but did not dare to go in to consume.
A few of them went in, but they were ridiculed by the clerks in those stores, and they made a lot of shame.
But now this group of people actually came to beg their husbands in a low voice, and the fat daughter-in-law was relieved in her heart.
After those people left, the fat daughter-in-law walked out, looking at the gift, but it was some extravagant bags and decorations, the fat daughter-in-law couldn't help but say: "Husband, what are they asking you for, spending so much?" ”
Li Huaimu was still lying on the sofa, obviously with the same expression as a dead fish on weekdays, but in the eyes of the fat daughter-in-law, her husband had a little more mystery and inviolability. Li Huaimu glanced at the gift and said, "This little thing is not good, so I will drive them to the first wave today, and when they are collecting this kind of thing tomorrow, they will throw it out to the beggars." ”
After speaking, Li Huaimu got up and stretched, and walked outside. The fat daughter-in-law raised her eyebrows from behind, but then she lost the courage to attack.
When sleeping at night, the fat daughter-in-law took the initiative to boil the bath water for Li Huaimu, and then massaged and warmed the bed. After lying down on the bed, I saw the fat daughter-in-law hugging him with a blushing face, and said softly: "Husband, we haven't ...... for a long time."
Li Huaimu took a deep breath, couldn't hold back the impulse in his heart anymore, and began to conquer on the soft and flesh of his fat daughter-in-law, a room of warm incense, looking at the ecstatic charm of the fat daughter-in-law under him, Li Huaimu was excited in his heart: "Zhou Chen is really my great benefactor!"
Early in the morning, Li Huaimu rushed to the supervision compound, Hua Ergou, Yu Minglang, and Chen Bin all went out of the door, saw Li Huaimu, and greeted in unison: "Minister Li, let's go, let's go together." ”
Li Huaimu asked strangely, "What about Zhou Chen, is he not there?" ”
"Of course, the boss was harassed all night last night, and someone always knocked on the door, and at this time, he has gone out to hide in Qingjing." Hua Ergou said.
Li Huaimu smiled when he heard this, the door of his idler's house was knocked down, and Zhou Chen's house was definitely more than ten times more lively.
The four of them set out together, each to a city.
When the four of them arrived at the health station, the merchants who had been waiting for a long time suddenly welcomed them in as if they had seen a baby.
Those who came to Li Huaimu yesterday were naturally the ones who heard the rumors. If the health station does not leave, it will definitely affect the business, and even the store that is not under a lot of pressure on rent will be worried about the inventory pressure. Besides, doing business has always been done sooner rather than later, no one knows when people's interests will change, this batch of goods is not sold first, after a long time, maybe the guests will not be interested.
In addition, the slander of the people in the jade building in those rumors has already suppressed a layer of fire in the hearts of the merchants. What kind of thing are the people in the Jade Tower! Usually there are no taxes for our merchants, where do they get the money to be chic, but now it's good, they take our money, but they don't give us things, and they scold us in turn! Feelings, we just let them exploit them?
Are you kidding!
There are major powerful businesses that take the lead, and these small businesses are naturally much bolder.
The people in the Jade Building wanted to hinder Zhou Chen, causing Zhou Chen to dare not accept everyone's help, it doesn't matter, we don't look for Zhou Chen, we just look for secular officials. So, Li Huaimu, the master who has been neglected for thousands of years, suddenly became a sweetheart, he doesn't have a soldier in his hand, it doesn't matter, the business has so many employees, anyway, now the business is cold, just go to him to help.
……
Zhou Chen once heard a legend, the legend, there is a rich man, who has saved countless money in his life, surrounded by beautiful women, he has enjoyed the glory and wealth that everyone envies all his life, and finally, this rich man is about to die.
He was seriously ill, lying on the bed, looking at the beauties around him and his unspent property, full of reluctance. No matter how much his children and grandchildren took care of him and made him happy, the rich man felt unhappy.
Then the two daughters asked him why he was like this, and the rich man replied, "I have not lived enough in this life, and I want to live another life, and I do not want to give up everything I have." You are so filial to me, can you go and visit the famous mountains for me, looking for the elixir golden pill that can bring the dead back to life and prolong life? ”
When those sons heard about it, they said in their hearts, we are waiting to inherit your property, but you don't want to die yet. So that night, the two daughters, who were originally filial, tied up the old rich man together, suffocated him to death, and then found a barren mountain to bury him.
Zhou Chen heard this story from Yu He, and couldn't help but laugh after listening to it, driven by money and desire, any reliable relationship will undergo a qualitative change.
But after laughing, Zhou Chen began to think deeply, and he felt a little truth from this story.
"Prolong life, live forever, and come back from the dead." Zhou Chen thought in his heart, looking at the blue sea below. He was sitting on the edge of a shoal at this time, it had regained spring, the weather was getting warmer, and the beach was not so cold, and at this time there were many young men and women playing in the shallows, and in the distance, there were fishing boats sailing in the distance.
Zhou Chen looked at Yu He on the side and said, "Yu He, you say, is this alchemy really so magical?" ”
Yu He didn't understand why Zhou Chen asked this, but after thinking about it, he still said cautiously: "As far as I know, many sects have their own alchemists, and ordinary alchemists are naturally not good, but those top alchemists can indeed refine the elixir that prolongs life, and with this, it is still possible to live for thirty or forty more years." ”
Zhou Chen listened, and his heart moved.
One Soul Pill can live for sixty more years, but it has great side effects, and Zhou Chen can't use it himself. Faced with the temptation of longevity, it is impossible for Zhou Chen not to be moved, and now the legend is close at hand.
"Do you know how to get the alchemist's inheritance?" Zhou Chen couldn't help but ask.
Yu He shook his head and said: "Alchemists are the most important assets of a sect, even the disciples of the inner sect are not qualified to see them, I am afraid that only the disciples of the personal transmission can have the opportunity to see them, and most of the pills on the market are just things that the alchemists have failed, and the good pills are the property of the sect." ”
Zhou Chen took out the Black Water Dan Sutra and stroked it a few times, this book was given to him by Jin Shichang, but the monk was just a gift of the Dan book, and after this period of study, Zhou Chen has seen that this Black Water Dan Sutra should not be profound, and if you want to obtain a more profound Dan Sutra, you can only go to the interior of the four major sects to explore.
Although the medical technique is magical, in the face of alchemy, it seems to be a step lower. Medical skills can only cure the pain and prolong life, but it cannot do it.
Zhou Chen secretly made up his mind and said, "Yuhe, let's go, the people of Yulou should already know the rumors on the street." ”
……
Zhou Chen did not inspect the people in Nancheng first as agreed before the Jade Tower, which made the people of the Jade Tower very angry. Although it is said that Zhou Chen was given by Yu Xingyu, but to say that he does not dare to make a stumbling block at all, it is too much to underestimate everyone.
They don't dare to target big things, but small things happen one after another.
For example, the doctors in the health center are ordered to go over one by one to advance the annual assessment of doctors, and then those doctors have to give up their part-time jobs and go back to review the materials.
Another example is to put the material allocation card of the health center on the link. All supplies had to be transported from the seaport, and as long as the order of inspections was postponed by a few days, the progress of the inspections could be delayed.
As long as the progress is delayed, they will be able to find a reason to trouble Zhou Chen.
