Chapter 1 Journey Accidents
"Fewer people is better!" Looking at the few pedestrians on the empty Xicheng Mountain Road, Chu Qiu shouted and let out the sullenness in his chest.
As a nationally renowned religious attraction, Seisungsan attracts a large number of tourists every year. Not only is the scenery inside beautiful, but more importantly, the Tianjian Palace, which is one of the bigwigs behind the religious association of the Longhan Democratic Republic, is located in the mountain. For the sake of tourism economy and the purity of Tianjian Palace, the Yizhou Municipal Government classified the entire Xicheng Mountain as a super five-star scenic spot, which actually gave Xicheng Mountain to Tianjian Palace as a parcel in disguise. Tianjian Palace also reciprocated the favor, announcing that Qianshan was open all year round, arranging for sect disciples to come and go to welcome guests, and later opened a medical hall, a pharmacy, and a Yi hall. The big guy sect naturally won't smash its own brand, health secrets, healing pills, and fortune-telling are all real materials, so this reputation is getting louder and louder. However, the mountain behind the Heavenly Sword Palace will never be open to the public, including the religious supervision department and the military, and they will not have the right to enter. It is a tacit agreement between sectarianism and secular power. A hundred-year-old dynasty, a thousand-year-old family, and a thousand-year-old sect, the ghost knows how deep these sects that have existed since the birth of the Longhan nation are.
Chu Qiu graduated from an ordinary university of finance and economics in China, and after graduation, he returned to his hometown and applied for a job in the Lizhou branch of Longhan Financial Group. A proper financial migrant worker. Longhan Financial Group is a central financial group wholly owned by the state, with a registered capital of up to 2 trillion Lingxing coins, known as the financial hegemon that will never collapse unless the country perishes. Of course, it is also a very face-saving thing to be able to enter the branch in the local area, but Chu Qiu, as an insider, is miserable.
Things have to start when Chu Qiu enters the company. Chu Qiu's family is just an ordinary person in Lizhou, and he was able to enter Longhan Finance entirely because of Longhan's group development strategy. Previously, Longhan Financial Group included Longhan Bank, Longhan Securities, Longhan Insurance, and Longhan Fund. Among them, Longhan Insurance has always been a second-level department under Longhan Bank, but due to the rapid development of the insurance market, the group headquarters decided to separate Longhan Insurance and establish Longhan Insurance Group, a first-level subsidiary. Therefore, after graduation, Longhan Financial Group is frantically recruiting people in various places, basically the academic degree is a regular full-time undergraduate, and the grades during the school are medium, and they are eligible to take the written examination, with a pass rate of 50.γγγγγ The interview after passing the written test is almost just a formality, according to the statistics of their new employees afterwards, the interview pass rate is as high as 99 percent... Those who were eliminated listened to the people in the human resources department say that their appearance is too low, so low that they can't go out to start their businessγγγγγ
When the new company was established, almost all the high-level and middle-level people were from the former Longhan Bank, and the small leaders in the specific units were also related to the above or the children of local rich and powerful families. All in all, before Chu Qiu and the others entered the company, all the management positions and fat shortages in it were occupied, and all the coolies who needed to do specific work in a down-to-earth manner were left. The new company naturally wants to come up with convincing results, and the huge performance pressure is pressed on Chu Qiu's gang, who are busy like dogs every day, looking at the so-called managers sitting in the office blowing air conditioners and chatting, Chu Qiu They are also quite resentful in their hearts.
The contradiction began with an IOU. Chu Qiu's department is responsible for the development of the car insurance market, and in the process of buying car insurance, the insurance company will give customers certain discounts, sometimes in kind, such as some glass water, pillows, sometimes supermarket shopping cards or gas cards. The previous batch of shopping cards has been issued, but due to the sharp increase in business volume, the funds approved by the finance department cannot meet the development of the business at all, resulting in the department's monthly overspending. Chu Qiu would be questioned every time he went to the finance department, and after a long time, he got used to it, anyway, if he didn't have money, the salesman would pay it in advance first, and he would send it when the money came. As a result, last month, a deputy manager from an outside private insurance company borrowed 600,000 shopping cards from an outside card dealer in his private name without understanding Longhan's management system, and made an IOU, and then directly threw it to Chu Qiu for him to reimburse. Chu Qiu looked confused and went to the boss of the finance department with the IOU, and sure enough, he was sprayed wildly, and the IOU was directly taken to the Ministry of Supervision. Back in the department, the deputy manager immediately scolded Chu Qiu for being incompetent, and he couldn't handle such a trivial matter. Chu Qiu went directly to the Ministry of Supervision to explain the matter in writing, and then went to the Human Resources Department to ask for five days of annual leave.
"Hmph, a bunch of self-righteous sand sculptures, Lao Tzu is no longer serving." Chu Qiu looked at Xicheng Mountain, which was full of smoke in the early morning, and the troubles in his heart were washed away. "I'll quit when I go back, there's no need to waste time on these people." Chu Qiu, who has been obsessed with Taoism since he was a child, is an out-and-out Taoist youth. The current media is promoting Buddhist youth, and the label is hello, thank you, it's okay. Chu Qiu's mantra is about your, it's about meγγγγγ In these days in Long Han, Chu Qiu always felt that he was no longer living by himself.
The annual vacation coincided with the off-season of tourism, and Chu Qiu simply stayed in the most luxurious Tianjian Villa, which is a self-operated hotel opened to the outside world by Tianjian Palace. The stone steps in the early morning were soaked in the mist of the mountains, as if stepping on the clouds, Chu Qiu closed his eyes and breathed in the mountain aura, taking pictures as he walked, and after a while, he came to the mountain gate. The mountain gate of the Heavenly Sword Palace opened at eight o'clock in the morning, and Chu Qiu arrived an hour early, so he wandered around when he had nothing to do. Looking at the mountain gate, the three words of the Heavenly Sword Palace, the dragon and the phoenix dance, sharp and elegant, it is rumored that this is written by a senior of the Heavenly Sword Palace. Chu Qiu sometimes thought that if it weren't for his parents who only had one child, maybe he would have escaped into the empty door and pursued his own way. After the country came out with the two-child policy, Chu Qiu once talked to his parents seriously.
"Mom and Dad, now the country has a two-child policy."
"Well, we know, don't worry, we won't give birth and won't cause you trouble."
"Uh... Mom and Dad, I didn't mean that... β
"You don't know yet, next door to your Aunt Wang's family gave birth to a second child, his son rushed back from college in other places, crying and making a fuss about the house under his own name, your mother I still want to live a few more years."
Chu Qiu"γγγγγγ β
"Mom and Dad, I'm serious. If you want to have a second child, give birth, I raise my hands in favor. I'm sure I treat him as my relative, and I don't care about the house, property, or anything. β
Chu's father and Chu's mother looked at Chu Qiu seriously, "Look, he is worthy of being a good son we taught, and he has excellent character!" We're really happy to have you. β
"Then parents, think about it, give birth to a second child, I will graduate from college and raise it with you."
"No." "Why!"
"Your father was ligated a long time ago in response to family planning."
βγγγγγγγγγγγγγβ
Chu Qiu circled around the mountain gate, and suddenly his feet slipped and rolled into the dense forest next to the stone steps. Subconsciously protecting his head, Chu Qiu rolled all the way until he hit a dead wood before stopping. I struggled to stand up and touched it, but fortunately, my waist was not injured, I was not married, and it was not good if something happened. Chu Qiu took out a tissue and wiped his hands, but suddenly his fingers stiffened, and the tissue fell to the ground. Chu Qiu shook his hand, thinking that it was the numbness caused by rolling with his head just now, but he saw a thin layer of ice covering his fingertips. It's September, how can it freeze? Chu Qiu withdrew his arm, wrapped his only jacket tightly, and slowly walked forward. As soon as he took a step, an obvious cold air blew directly on Chu Qiu's body through his coat. After ten steps, Chu Qiu, who was already shivering from the cold, finally saw the source of the cold. It was a deep pool, and the cold air condensed into a white mist above the emerald green water, like a fairyland. There is a white stone next to the deep pool, and there are two words on it - Xuanling.
Chu Qiu pinched his frozen coat, and just wanted to turn around, he stumbled and fell to the ground. In just a few seconds, his leg muscles froze. Chu Qiu rubbed forward with his frozen fingers, he knew that if he didn't leave, he would really die. He didn't want to die yet, he still had a long life to live, and there were still many things worth pursuing, and his parents who were waiting for him at home. An inexplicable power was growing in Chu Qiu's body, and his speed was getting faster and faster. He was already close to the place where he was hit, as long as he followed the traces of his rolling, he could go out, and the disciples of the Heavenly Sword Palace in front of the mountain gate would definitely not ignore it at that time.
A circle of ripples appeared out of thin air on the surface of the ancient well of Xuanling Pond, and three transparent ice flowers floated from the bottom of the pool, mixed with a little beating white fire. The suspended cold qi suddenly exploded the moment the ice flower appeared, spreading wildly in all directions. Everywhere I went, there was no grass. Before Chu Qiu's outstretched fingers could clasp the ground, his eyes turned dark and fell into endless darkness.
