Longhua Mountain, Purple Smoke View.

On the stone table and chair in front of the courtyard, there were two people sitting opposite, an old man and a middle-aged man.

The old man was dressed in a big yellow robe, with a willow hairpin stuck in the bun on his head, a kind face with kind eyebrows, a ruler-long white hair under the jaw, and a pair of hands full of age spots with a white child, gently placed on the chessboard, and said slowly to the middle-aged man opposite: "Your heart is not quiet." ”

The middle-aged man is none other than Ding Lei, who killed someone and left his home.

"The tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop."

"Do you have something on your mind?"

"Someone is trying to harm me."

"Why?"

"Because, I'm doing something wrong."

The yellow-robed old Taoist glanced at Ding Lei with cloudy eyes, stood up, and said with a smile: "You should have been punished for doing something wrong, why do you say that people want to harm you?" ”

"Because, I want to take away someone's property."

"Hehe, your heart is not small."

"Because that's mine."

"If that's yours, why are you afraid?"

Ding Lei was stopped by the old way, didn't know how to answer, and paused: "Because, that only belonged to me before." ”

Lao Dao listened to Ding Lei's words, and suddenly laughed: "Haha, young man, I think you want to take back what belonged to you before through some means, right?" However, other people's methods are half as powerful as yours, so are you very afraid and scared now? ”

Ding Lei hesitated for a moment, but nodded.

Lao Dao continued: "Since you have done it, then why are you afraid that people will come to you? Since you are doing something wrong, then you must have the courage to take responsibility. ”

Ding Lei looked at Lao Dao, and Lao Dao also looked at him, his eyes were relative to each other for a long time, and the whole backyard was extremely quiet for a while.

After Zhou Chen went home and asked his grandfather about this Taoist priest named Haoran, he decided to drive to meet him for a while.

Find out if the person is friend or foe.

Because this guy was quite taken care of by their Zhou family back then, otherwise how could he have so much money to entrap those little brothers back then?

Otherwise, who would be willing to fight with you?

So no matter what you do, you can't do it without money.

On the side of Longhua Mountain, Zhou Chen came here several times when he was a child, and he rarely came here after that.

When his car drove into the scenic spot, he encountered a lot of trouble, a sign with a charge for the mountain car, and there was a pavilion next to the sign, and an iron fence was pulled up in the middle of the road.

If you want to go over, you have to give money to someone, and if you don't, you don't want to be able to go in.

"Didi ......"

"It's coming, it's coming."

A young man wearing the words Longhua Tourism printed on his chest, when he heard the sound of the car horn, he walked out of the pavilion next to him with some impatience, just now he kept his head down, and he didn't know what he was doing.

"Into the mountains, huh? One hundred. ”

"Why is it so expensive?"

"A hundred dollars has no price, otherwise you won't go in."

Zhou Chen glanced at this young man with his eyes, he really made money, a car entered the mountain for a hundred yuan, and the amount was not small at the end of the day.

"Okay, okay, I have something to do in a hurry, so I won't be with you here." Although Zhou Chen was a little unhappy in his heart, it was important to enter the mountain, so he took out his wallet from his trouser pocket and took out a hundred yuan to hand it over.

When the young man received a hundred yuan, he immediately smiled and said, "Wait a minute, I'll go and open the door for you." ”

Zhou Chen hurriedly stopped him and asked, "Let me ask you something, is this Purple Smoke View in that position in the mountain?" ”

The young man looked Zhou Chen up and down, pointed to the road into the mountain and said, "You want to go up there, you follow this road all the way, and you will see the sign of the Taoist temple." ”

Zhou Chen said politely: "Then thank you." ”

As the iron fence slowly opened, Zhou Chen went all the way to the mountain road, not to mention, not to mention it for a while, he saw that the mountain gate of the Purple Smoke View was standing between the green mountains and green waters, surrounded by pines and cypresses, blue bricks and black tiles, which looked simple and abnormal.

It's just that the gate is closed, which is really different from the other Taoist temples I saw along the way just now, with more dust and less worldliness.

After Zhou Chen parked the car, he picked up the key and got out of the car, went up the steps, and when he arrived at the door, he pulled up the knock ring on it and knocked on the door gently.

"Knock Knock ......"

"It's coming, it's coming, don't knock anymore." The sound of a broken gong came from inside, accompanied by the sound of running footsteps.

"Squeaky ......"

I don't know how long this door has not been opened, and the gurgling sound on the door page is particularly harsh, revealing a young Taoist priest wearing a green robe, holding his hair in a bun, and stepping on cloud shoes with a delicate face.

"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, donor, please go back, this view is not a guest."

"Little Master, I have something to put on the Haoran Daoist."

"Who are you?"

"The Zhou family."

"Master Zhou, please wait a moment, and I'll go and report to Master."

"Thank you, little master."

Zhou Chen watched the young Taoist priest leave, but the door was not closed, which made him can't help but be interested in this view.

The construction of the courtyard in Guanli is very exquisite, there is a stone sculpture in the southeast, northwest and northwest, which is obviously the four sacred beasts, and the place in the middle is actually painted a Taiji Bagua, at a glance, the whole courtyard is about four or five hundred square meters, all of which are built by stone slabs.

And facing the mountain gate is a solemn hall, the eaves are golden-roofed, and there is a three-legged tripod in front of the door of the main hall, and cigarettes are curling inside.

The young Taoist priest ran out of the main hall, he went down the stone stairs and crossed the courtyard to Zhou Chen's side, waved his hand and said: "Immeasurable Tianzun, let the donor wait for a long time, the master said that since he is an old man, he also hopes to ask the backyard to talk about it." ”

Zhou Chen said with a smile: "Please let the little master lead the way." ”

"Please."

"Please."

After Zhou Chen and the young Taoist priest were polite, the young Taoist priest took Zhou Chen to the backyard, and on the way Zhou Chen pretended to ask casually, "Why don't you open the door to accept guests?" ”

The young Taoist priest chuckled silently, just led the way in front, did not enter the main hall, but bypassed the main hall and went around the side of the road to the back.

In the courtyard, Haoran stood up and was about to greet Zhou Chen when he saw him coming, but Ding Lei, who was sitting opposite him, almost didn't have a heart attack.

How did this bastard find here?

"Haha, Brother Zhou's grandsons have grown so big."

"Daoist Haoran, my grandfather let me bring it to you." Zhou Chen clasped his hands together and said politely.

"Okay, okay, please take a seat." Haoran motioned for Zhou Chen to sit next to the stone table, and he sat on the stone chair as if he hadn't noticed Ding Lei at all. And Haoran said, did he really forget that Ding Lei was such a big living person? Or are you a little overjoyed to see your deceased?

"Shui Xuan, don't serve tea yet."

"Ah, Master, I'll go now." The young man who brought Zhou Chen in before turned out to be called Shui Xuan, and he went to prepare tea in a panic after answering the call.

"How is your grandfather doing?"

"The body is still quite tough."

"Haha, that's good, the poor road has not been out of the mountain for many years, and I don't know that those old people back then are okay now."

After speaking, Haoran Lao Dao seemed to have remembered something, and pointed at Ding Lei with his finger, intending to introduce it to Zhou Chen, but he heard Ding Lei preemptively say: "Dao Chang doesn't need to be introduced, Chen Shao and I have known each other for a long time." ”

After hearing this, Hao Ran burst into laughter: "Uh, haha, since the two have known each other for a long time, then there is no need for the old Taoist priest to do any more." ”

Zhou Chen also smiled and said: "Dao Chief, don't be polite, I came this time mainly to settle a grievance." ”

"Grievances?"

"Yes, I have a grudge against him." Zhou Chen pointed his finger at Ding Lei, who was terrified, and said, "This person has hated me for not dying in recent days." ”

Haoran also didn't know if he really didn't know, or if he didn't know, so his face sank suddenly, and asked Ding Lei: "Brother Xiaotian's grandson's words, but is it true?" ”

Ding Lei forced himself to calm down and said: "Yes, everything he said is true. ”

"Why?"

"Because he's the one I'm the one in this incident."

Zhou Chen listened to Ding Lei's words and laughed: "Haha, it's good that I'm a big flower, but you, as an employee of my company, actually want to plot my Zhou family's industry, is it wrong for me to dispose of you?" ”

Speaking of this, Zhou Chen suddenly sank his words and said: "If you don't give me an explanation today, you won't want to get out of here alive, and the person who wants to kill me will never let go." ”

Daoist Haoran hurriedly played a round and said: "Two, don't be impatient, don't be impatient, please let Lao Dao say a word." ”

Zhou Chen and Ding Lei both looked at him.

"I can't say much about the business field, since this company belongs to the Zhou family, why do you want him to run it?"

After Zhou Chen listened to Haoran's words, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he said lightly: "Because, he is a very good leader, but please remember that he is only working for my Zhou family, not that the company is his." ”

"If this is the case for all the people in this world, who would dare to take the money to buy someone else's bankrupt company?"

Ding Lei didn't speak, just a quiet listener, Haoran Lao Dao touched his long beard, nodded and said, "Why don't you take a step back?" ”

His words were clueless, and he didn't know who he was talking to, Zhou Chen didn't think that the person in front of him wearing Taoist clothes was a real Taoist.

This person was a ruthless lord back then, although he himself said that he had retired to the mountains and forests for many years and did not ask about Hongchen, but what Zhou Chen learned from Zhou Xiaotian was diametrically opposite, many of this person's brothers back then were still active in the entire south.

Every year when the dragon raises its head, these people will go to the purple smoke to report some things on the rivers and lakes to their boss.

This person, do you think he is really a monk or a fake monk?

"Why doesn't the Zhou family take a step back, after all, one more of you is not too much, and one less is not too much."

"Daoist, are you a peacemaker? Or is it pulling a bias frame? ”

"I just think that if this continues, there will be blood, so why not stop it?"

Zhou Chen has seen shameless people, but he has not been so shameless, and he actually let himself, the victim, take a step forward.

Is there such a cheap thing in this world?

"Haha, Dao Chang and my grandfather are old friends, I will give you a face, I can let this person go today, but tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, I will definitely condemn his head."

Zhou Chen's character is that if you talk to me well, I will also talk to you well, but if you say something to me on the surface, but you are constantly stabbing me behind your back, then don't blame me for turning my face.

This is Zhou Chen's creed, but this old Taoist priest is obviously so, although he is nominally trying to persuade in the circle, but in fact he is pulling a bias.

What a big breath, let one step give up the hundreds of millions of assets of the Zhou family?

It's too easy to do, isn't it?

These two people are thinking about the white wolf with empty gloves, so they should pay attention to it.

"Zhou Chen, don't deceive people too much."

"Haha, I'm deceiving people too much, what can you do to me?"

Zhou Chen laughed and turned around to leave the yard, but suddenly heard Ding Lei yelling wildly there.

"Don't you just want to kill me? I'm standing here now, and you're coming now. ”

"Bang!"

The moment Zhou Chen heard the gunshots, he knew that these two guys wanted to leave him behind, and his body flashed suddenly, and the bullet hit the old pear tree in the yard.

"Whew!"

The silver needle in Zhou Chen's hand flew out, and at this time, he saw Haoran wave his sleeves violently, and the silver needle was caught by his sleeve.

Haoran looked at Zhou Chen, who had jumped onto the old tree, with a smile on his face, and his eyes were shining with a terrifying light.
