Chapter 234: Coming to the door by appointment
ps: The first update in the morning, ask for monthly pass support~
"If there really is a water house in Taihu Lake, where will it be?"
Qi Xiang thought about this question seriously, but there was no answer.
After all, when the water and moon were scattered, they spent almost their entire lives in Taihu Lake, stayed in Taihu Lake for hundreds of years, turned Taihu Lake upside down, but still did not show any of it.
Qi Xiang didn't think that if he searched casually, he would be able to find any water mansion. Besides, whether Shuifu is a fact or a legend, no one can say for sure, and there is no need to rush to make a big move.
As for the big black fish......
It is indeed a suspicious point, and it needs to be studied.
Qi Xiang tried his best to relax his mind, and suddenly his soul was a little hot, and when he looked up, the air was already white. It turned out that unconsciously, a night passed quietly, and the sky was almost dawn.
In an instant, Qi Xiang did not hesitate at all, and his spirit flew away in an instant, returning directly to the villa and entering his body.
There is no way, the damage of the sun true fire to the divine soul is too great, with his current strength, daring to shake it under the sun is definitely a ruin.
After all, he is only stabilizing the realm of night travel now, not the completion of night travel, and he is not qualified to absorb the true fire of the sun to refine his soul in order to impact the realm of day travel.
The coming day is long, the cultivation is not in a hurry, you can't become fat in one bite, you have to take your time......
Qi Xiang opened his eyes, he didn't sleep all night but was full of energy, his eyes were radiant, like electric light, and it took a long time to converge the silence and return to normal.
It is naturally a good thing that people are in good spirits when they are happy and improve their cultivation.
However, Qi Xiang was not happy for long, and began to devote himself to great research work. He searched a lot of information about Taihu Lake on the Internet, and bought dozens of historical books such as local chronicles.
In the next few days, he flipped through books and studied during the day, and at night he was out of his body and made a big doxxing against Taihu Lake.
In a flash, seven or eight days passed.
Nestled in the room all day. Qi Xiang felt that the whole person was stupid, muddy, and a little unbearable.
"Hold on. Take it a slow. ”
Qi Xiang pinched his brows, feeling that if he continued like this, he would have to be physically and mentally exhausted, and he would have to die of overwork.
"I can't hold it anymore. Rest for two days and talk about it later. ”
Qi Xiang decided to give himself a holiday, threw away the books and materials, and then put on slippers and pajamas, and walked slowly in the backyard of the manor. By the way, water the flowers and drench the grass.
Early winter mornings. The cold wind is like a knife, very cold.
Qi Xiang was wearing thin pajamas, but he didn't feel any cold. He gently pulled his hand, and a clear mist of water quietly gathered in his hand, and then condensed little by little, turning into a cool and clear ball of water.
"Poof!"
Suddenly, Qi Xiang shook his palm, and the water balloon immediately exploded. It formed a drizzle, very subtle, like the tip of a cow's hair, and evenly moistened the grass and trees in the courtyard.
"Papa, papa!"
Caught off guard, someone applauded and approved: "Yes, this water resistance technique seems to be much more subtle." ”
Qi Xiang looked up and saw that he was on the wall of the manor. Ge Bao, dressed in non-mainstream attire, seemed to be a street gangster, squatting there, holding a cigarette in his mouth, swallowing clouds and spitting fog.
"I came here as promised......"
Ge Bao spat out a mouthful of mist, jumped over, and fell lightly: "Good morning." ”
"I have a door ...... my house"
A black line appeared on Qi Xiang's forehead: "You can ring the doorbell!" ”
"Don't worry about that kind of detail." Ge hugged his hand and waved his hand indifferently, and then looked left and right: "Where do you live...... Not good. ”
Qi Xiang's face darkened, and a word came to his mind, the evil guest is coming.
Normal people, when they go to other people's homes as guests, no matter how bad the environment is, don't they have to praise a few words against their will. What Nanyang Zhuge Lu, Xishu Ziyun Pavilion, Si is a burrow, but you Dexin and the like......
This kind of polite remark is an indispensable spice in interpersonal communication. Why did you get to Ge Bao here, it didn't apply?
Forget it, I don't care about you......
Qi Xiang silently rolled his eyes in his heart, and then said, "Welcome, sit in the hall." ”
"Okay, lead the way." Ge Bao nodded, and spat out another breath of mist.
At this time, Qi Xiang was keenly aware that this mist was a little special, not only the smell of tobacco, but also mixed with other substances, anyway, there was a special smell of medicinal herbs.
"I'm homemade smoke." Ge raised his eyebrows and gestured, "Do you want to have one?" ”
"No need to ......" Qi Xiang shook his head, not having this habit.
"Then you'll lose a lot of fun." Ge Bao didn't force it, took another puff of cloud smoke, and then swallowed it into his stomach. But he didn't spit it out, as if he was digesting.
A moment later, a faint trace of smoke actually drilled out of the pores of the skin on the surface of his body. It was supposed to be a white and pure mist, but it was a little more turbid.
Seeing this situation, Qi Xiang's eyes froze, and he immediately understood that Ge Bao was not only smoking, but also cultivating.
After a while, the two walked to the living room.
Ge hugged and sat down unceremoniously, stilted Erlang's legs by the way, and leisurely swallowed the clouds and spit out the fog.
Qi Xiang Mali boiled water to make tea, and asked directly: "Ge Daoyou, you came to the door this time, is there anything wrong?" ”
"As a fellow practitioner, it's normal to walk around, recognize a door, and climb to make friends......"
Ge Bao said a few words, and he himself felt that it was very fake, so he immediately changed his words: "Okay, there must be something." However, we don't have any friendship, so it's not easy to talk directly. You must talk to each other first and get acquainted with each other before you can speak. ”
“……”
Qi Xiang suddenly had nothing to say, poured a cup of tea, rested it in front of Ge Bao, and then sighed: "We can be regarded as friends in trouble, you don't have to be so ...... Distance, say something when you have something. ”
"If things really ...... It makes me very difficult, don't worry, I will refuse. ”
Qi Xiang glanced at it, and his tone was very sincere.
"You can't refuse......" Ge Bao looked confident, very determined.
"Oh." Qi Xiang took a sip of tea and clasped his hands around his chest: "Then tell me, what did you come to me for, I'll listen to you." ”
"No hurry, no hurry." Ge Bao took another breath, and the cigarette butt on his mouth immediately turned into ashes. He flicked the cigarette ash into the garbage can, then got up and said, "I just got off the plane and rushed to the door." Didn't eat breakfast. ”
"What are the special delicacies in Huzhou, let's go out for a walk, I'll have a treat!"
Ge hugged the heroic spirit. patted his pocket, as if he was a local tyrant who was not bad for money.
Qi Xiang glanced at him, didn't say a word, and went back to the room to change his clothes. Then beckoned: "Let's go ......"
Qi Xiang drove out and drove Ge Bao to the city.
Huzhou City is bustling and lively, with rolling traffic and pedestrians, and the sound of waves one after another, enveloping the sky over the entire city. It seems to dispel the cold of winter.
Soon after. The car slowly stopped.
Qi Xiang opened the door and got out of the car, and signaled: "The breakfast here is good, you can taste it." ”
Ge hugged down and looked at it, only to see that there was a three-story compound building in front of him, with three floors upper, middle and lower, all of which were running a breakfast business. Between each floor, it can be said that the guests are like a cloud, and it is prosperous.
The aroma of tea, beans, cakes, and all kinds of aromas are mixed. An enticing scent is formed, which whets the appetite.
"Not bad, not bad." Ge Bao nodded with satisfaction: "Go up......"
After only a few steps, Ge Bao seemed to think of something, and turned his head again: "By the way, you give the surname Pang by the way...... What's going on? Anyway, I want to buy paintings...... Let him come over and pay for us! ”
"Huh?"
Qi Xiang was stunned: "Boss Pang of the void fast? ”
“…… It seems to be him. Ge Bao thought for a while, nodded and said, "It's the one who went with you to visit my grandfather last time and asked him to come over." That's right. ”
Qi Xiang suddenly smiled: "Didn't you say that you didn't sell the painting to him, and changed your mind?" ”
"No way."
Ge Bao said frankly: "I asked a lot of people, and he made the highest offer, full of sincerity. I can't get along with anyone, and I can't get along with money, right? ”
“…… Reasonable. Qi Xiang thought so, and then smiled: "Then I'll call." ”
"Hit, call someone." Ge Bao didn't care, and walked into the teahouse.
The tea house business is booming, but a few private rooms are also reserved.
The two of them asked for a compartment on the third floor that was quite elegantly decorated, Ge Bao ordered food directly, and asked the waiter to put the whole table on the whole table with refreshments, spring rolls, soup, noodle porridge or something.
But there aren't many of them at this table.
The small round table, with seven or eight plates, was a little full.
Qi Xiang drank soy milk and watched Ge Bao feast, but he was speculating in his heart about the purpose of his visit. However, there are too many possibilities, and there is not enough information to analyze them......
"Don't bother guessing." Ge Bao took a bite of the spring roll and said vaguely: "Unless you have mind reading skills, it is absolutely impossible to guess my thoughts." ”
Qi Xiang's eyes turned white, and suddenly his ears moved: "It seems that Boss Pang is here......"
"Yes."
Ge hugged and swallowed the spring roll, smoked a banknote to wipe his mouth, and drank fragrant tea to relieve his greasy by the way.
"Brother Ge."
Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive. In an instant, someone broke in outside the door, and it was the huge boss. At this time, he was full of spring breeze and a smile on his face, very happy: "Welcome, welcome, welcome to Huzhou." ”
"Thank you......"
Ge Bao stretched out his hand: "Boss Ge, you sit." ”
"Good good ......"
The huge boss was overjoyed, so he sat next to Qi Xiang, and at the moment of bending down, he said in a low voice: "Brother Qi, thank you very much, I have this favor in my heart, and I have a lot of thanks when I look back." ”
"Huh?"
Qi Xiang was stunned for a moment, then glanced at Ge Bao, and could also think that he probably said something.
After all, before, Ge Baocai rejected the huge boss and said that he would not sell paintings to him, but now he changed his words, and he was somewhat embarrassed, so he simply found a step.
Qi Xiang smiled, which was considered to be a response to the huge boss, but in fact, he was secretly laughing at Ge Hug, and he still wanted to save face.
Ge Bao seemed to notice the other meaning in this laughter, and when the huge boss didn't pay attention, he glared at Qi Xiang dissatisfiedly, and then said: "Boss Pang, I brought the painting here purely for Qi Xiang's face this time, so I brought the painting over ......" (to be continued.) )
