Chapter 17: Stairway to Heaven
December 22, fine.
Li Yan usually carried out the Yanfu incident, but it was only a few days at the end of the month, and there was not much time left. Cha Xiaodao has not returned. If he couldn't wait, Li Yan had no choice but to use the authority of the second seat to retreat for a few days.
But today's Li Yan is not bothered by this, he is going to see Danniang's first resident performance.
Zhong Shili's bar has a relatively quiet atmosphere, basically all of them are regular customers, and the level of the resident bands is also professional bands, and there are no idle people. This bar was originally found by Li Yan, of course he wouldn't pick those mixed places for Dan Niang to learn drums.
The customers in the bar are in pairs and threes, and occasionally someone will greet Danniang, after all, beautiful women are popular everywhere.
On the stage stood a girl wrapped in a blue headscarf, not pretty, very lively, and her smile was infectious. The girl is the resident singer of this room, and it is very popular. She participated in a very hot TV show this year, and was signed by the music company, and today is her farewell performance, and many people came from other places to show off their singing voices.
Of course, Li Yan's eyesight is only Danniang alone, but in the eyes of more people, this blue turban girl is the C position.
"You're here."
Zhong Shili walked over: "Go and prepare." It's all waiting for you, don't be nervous, it's the same as usual. β
"Okay."
Danniang leaned into Li Yan's ear and whispered, "I'm going." Just sit here. β
This is the near field, and you can clearly see where the drummer is.
"Hmm."
Li Yanmu sent her on stage and greeted the rest of the band, and the girl with the blue headscarf still held Danniang's hand and laughed, it can be seen that the atmosphere is very harmonious.
Li Yan subconsciously took out the lighter, but was stopped by Zhong Shili: "This is a non-smoking area." I'm going to smoke and go over there. β
She gestured to a row of barstools behind her.
"Then I won't smoke it."
Li Yan said helplessly.
After about an hour, the number of guests gradually increased.
β¦β¦
There is one thing, the earth spider Zhao Hongxia said wrong, the tapir does not eat takeout every day, there is a sheep scorpion hot pot downstairs in his house that tastes fat, and the tapir used to go to the sheep scorpion downstairs to order a full pot every time he paid for the manuscript, and then cursed the couples who came and went to have a full meal.
Not everyone is as impatient as she is, though......
The tapir hummed a song and went downstairs, there were many small square tables outside the door of the hot pot restaurant, and the guests usually moved a horse to sit, but when it was cold, the guests went inside to eat. Only a man in a plain suit with a gentle smile sat outside the door, and there were two pots of sheep and scorpions on the table.
In an instant, the people and things in front of the tapir became extremely distant, and the surroundings became quiet.
"Damnation for spoiling food, help me?"
The tapir made a face, turned his head back, sat down across from the man, grabbed his chopsticks and grabbed a piece.
"This thing has to be done."
The man handed the tapir a pair of gloves.
The tapir looked bitter: "Boss Gao, let me go." β
"Hahaha~"
The man smiled heartily: "Don't be nervous, I'll talk to you." You're retired, and I'm not going to embarrass you. β
Gao Hongbo, Ying Long's agent. The second representative, the director of Three Eyes Global, is Cao Yuanchao's old comrade-in-arms who has fought side by side to this day.
He is one of the best real power factions in the second seat, even Buyang, fearless Sanzang, these seats must be treated with courtesy, and the concubines of the rain and the proud insects are only the younger generations.
"You, you ask, I'll pick what I can say."
The tapir is holding its teeth.
"yes, okay." Gao Hongbo got straight to the point: "How did you kill Muni?" β
ββ¦β¦ Can't say. β
The tapir replied very simply, and he put down his chopsticks to clamp it again, but was blocked by Gao Hongbo's chopsticks.
"I'm very patient, if we don't finish this pot today, I won't let you go."
The tapir was silent.
Ying Long also stopped talking, poured a cup of Erguotou and drank it himself.
"Okay." The tapir put on his gloves: "Muni himself is mentally incomplete, but he has no blood. Although the accumulation is not enough, whether you can survive the eight specializations and nine ugliness should be opened. There is a 30% chance that he will be passed. But counting me is different. β
Gao Hongbo looked back thoughtfully: "I am really afraid that there will be a dream demon to interfere with it. But I know that, it's not all, right? β
"Because." The tapir snapped his fingers. Voices suddenly came from the originally silent store.
The tapir shouted inside.
"Little beauty, please take a bottle of Coke."
After a while, a little girl with a large-mouthed monkey embroidered on her chest and a pigtail with horns erected was holding a bottle of Coke thicker than her thighs and placing it heavily on the table.
Gao Hongbo frowned, and when he raised his head suddenly, the sky was a brilliant crimson, and one after another of red feathers were soothing or curly filling the sky.
"Shh~"
The tapir made a silent gesture at him: "If you wake it up, then everyone is done playing." β
"Aid Korea?"
Gao Hongbo was extremely surprised.
"Yes and no."
The tapir ate with a mouth full of oil: "You haven't thought about it, why did Zhao Jianzhong let Cao Yuanchao establish the Three-Eyed World in Tian Jiazijiu?" Because he is the Four Emperors? β
Gao Hongbo was silent, he knew that the tapir would continue. So far, how Cao Yuanchao was promoted to the Four Emperors is also a secret that Yan Zhaohui has kept secret, and Gao Hongbo even suspects that some of the Ten Masters don't know the reason.
Sure enough, the tapir said, "Actually, it's because of the effect." β
He unscrewed the Coke, and the whole street moved like ripples: "Yan Fu is going to go to various fruits to explore the worldview, so has anyone explored the worldview of Tian Jiazijiu?" Explore where we walked? Well? β
Gao Hongbo shook his head: "Zhao Jianzhong gave an order, who dares to explore?" Who can explore? β
"Because there have been results for a long time. The core of Tianjiazi Jiu was eaten by Cao Yuanchao. Because of this, he was promoted to the Four Emperors. β
Gao Hongbo's eyes widened, and he was shocked beyond measure.
"In a sense, Cao Yuanchao is the core of Tian Jiazijiu, and he is Tian Jiazijiu. Aren't you curious how I can kill Muni? Because Cao Yuanchao left his dream with me. If he is just walking, dreams are just dreams, but if Cao Yuanchao is a fruit, then his dreams are no longer false, but real, the dark side of the world.
The tapir's tone was quiet: "The so-called yin is within the yang, not in the pair of yang." That's it. β
Gao Hongbo listened attentively: "What is the dark side of the world? β
The tapir's expression became fanatical: "I'm just observing, and I can't come up with a conclusion." On the dark side, sometimes I feel like I'm God, I'm omnipotent, and sometimes I feel like I'm a piece of waste and can't change anything. The dark side has everything that is similar to the present world, but it is completely different. The dark side can be destroyed by me at any time, restored by me at any time, time, space, everything is meaningless. No matter what the character, you can tell it, let me handle it when you enter the dark side, I say that he is Yan Fu walking, she is Yan Fu walking, I say she is mentally ill, she is mentally ill. I told him to vomit, and he was going to vomit.
The tapir's expression was confused again: "But I don't follow my words, a indescribable inertia manipulates me, everything I do needs a reason, a logic." I could feel the consciousness everywhere, they were persecuting me, tempting me, telling me to obey...... Logic. But there are also some situations that have no logic to talk about, that is a stronger force, I can't resist at all, Chengdu can't be called Chengdu, it can only be called Rongcheng, I can't call Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, I can only call it a big city. The world that I have painstakingly forgotten has occasionally vanished by the power of thought, violent, bloody, and certain beautiful fantasies, and I try to depict them, but as long as I am under the gaze of those omnipresent consciousnesses, I ......"
The tapir drowned a mouthful of spit: "There is nothing that can be done." β
Gao Hongbo's eyes flickered, and the fat man in front of him seemed to be mentally abnormal, but no guests paid attention to him.
"Mu Ni was deceived by me, but he was not wronged, because Cao Yuanchao's dream could dock with the heart demon world of all the bubbles on the Yan Fuguo tree. I just asked him to believe that I was Sekong, which was logical, so he died. That spider-woman didn't die unjustly. She's silly and cute. I just sealed her abilities, and she collapsed within a few months. β
Gao Hongbo faintly felt that these things were still unfinished, and he still had a lot of questions to ask, about Zhao Jianzhong, about Cao Yuanchao, and about tapirs, but there was a faint intuition like a needle prick that prevented him, so he couldn't ask anymore, and he didn't listen to it anymore.
"I see......"
Gao Hongbo stood up: "I will keep my mouth shut." In exchange, I also told you, I hope you can also keep the secret, in fact, I came this time, someone ......"
"I don't want to hear it, everything you say is trouble for me!"
The tapir stared at Gao Hongbo with an extremely strange gaze: "And there is no need for that." β
Gao Hongbo obviously sensed the danger: "What are you going to do?" β
"There's no way you can get out of here." The tapir rubbed his ears: "They agreed, they thought it was logical." β
"Who are you talking about?"
"Who knows?"
Gao Hongbo's hair fluttered, and he subconsciously sensed the imminent approach of death.
A dazzling golden light burst out in front of the tapir
In the dense golden light, a huge unimaginable golden divine dragon spread outward, the so-called ancestor of ten thousand dragons, the dragon of dragons. The so-called Ying Long, a yellow dragon, is the god of Ying Long, which is one of the very few inheritances with only two parts since Yan Fu was recorded! It is the spiritual totem of China for thousands of years. Legend has it that Huanglong helped the emperor kill Chi You, and helped Dayu capture Wuzhi Qi, Xiang Liu and other Gaiqi demons, in the entire Chu Di god system, Ying Long is also the only god in the creation of the god Taiyi.
"Crazy words! It's a dream, it's fake! Since you're talking so fary, why don't you try to seal my skills?! β
In the golden light, the tapir's voice was still clear: "What is true?" What is false again? Life is difficult, in the eyes of fools, what is not a big dream? β
β¦β¦
Amid a round of applause, the bar's farewell performance finally began.
Soft acoustic guitar chords come and make people intoxicated.
Li Yan glanced at the bar flyer, the flyer design is simple, the track list, with an old record cover, Zhong Shili seems to be full of confidence in the tracks, but unfortunately Li Yan has never heard any of them, such as this opening song: Led Zeppelin's Stairway to Heaven.
The girl with the long blue turban finally opened her voice:
Thereβs a lady whoβs sure
(There is a lady who believes)
All that glitters is gold
(Everything that glitters is gold)
And sheβs buying a stairway to heaven
(She wants to buy a ladder to heaven)
Li Yan couldn't understand, so he was looking forward to when Danniang would play the drums.
β¦β¦
Explosions, explosions everywhere, destruction, destruction everywhere, indescribable majesty of the golden dragon, a single whisker fills half a street. The earth cracked because it could not bear it.
In my thought I have seen
(In my thoughts, I see)
Rings of smoke through the trees
(Smoke billows in the woods)
And the voices of those who stand looking
(and the voices of those who are on the sidelines)
Electric guitar, Vegeta, bass join in.
The golden dragon trampled the earth, swallowed the clouds, bathed in the ocean, and gave vent to his majesty.
β¦β¦
Dear ladyοΌ can you hear the wind blow
(Dear lady, do you hear the wind blowing?) οΌ
And did you know
(Did You Know)
Your stairway lies on the whispering wind
(Your ladder to heaven rests in the whispering wind)
The drums sounded, the drums sounded, and there was a soft exclamation from someone in the bar.
The red sky fell, and the wings that enveloped the world pressed down, and in front of this shadow, the golden dragon seemed so helpless.
Heaven and earth are closed......
-------------------------------------
"I've made the accounts clear."
Ji Wenji sat behind her desk, and behind her was a huge two-meter painting.
Her two slender thighs overlapped each other in a different direction: "I don't think I have anything to say." β
"In that case." Sitting across from him was a sassy woman in a steam suit: "I won't bother." β
She bowed her head to Ji Wenji.
Cao Yuanchao, who was on the sofa next to him, kept rubbing his temples: "Don't send it." Say hello to Tao Zhu for me. β
The woman bowed, "I will." With that, he let the peacock take him out of the high-rise office.
"It's ridiculous."
Ji Wenji hugged her shoulders: "From October to today, the expanded Yan Fu has reached 100,000 people, and I will count the Yan Fu incident once per person, the total flow of water will exceed 100 million casually every day, how can that little deficit in the accounts of Three Eyes Global cause such large-scale inflation?" It's clear that there is a problem with the content of the bill, but you come to me? β
"Find fault, are people targeting you? All registered institutional ledgers must be submitted. Didn't Wan An also pay it? Even a large number of goods were deducted. β
Cao Yuanchao glared at Ji Wenji.
Ji Wenji was obviously angry, and her chest rose and fell violently: "If you want me to say, Brother Jiu is responsible for this matter, he was the one who promoted the October bill at the beginning, and he was directly responsible, but now it's good, he himself has become a good person, and we are all moths?" The black pot is all called to our backs? How can this be true!
Cao Yuanchao rubbed his ears impatiently: "You go and tell Brother Jiu, you go now, I won't stop you." β
Ji Wenji opened her mouth, Zhuo Jiu has a strange and irritable personality, she has long been unpleasant to look at, and Ji Wenji really doesn't have the courage to argue with Zhuo Jiu.
"The October bill was unanimously passed by everyone at the table, saying that there is responsibility, and no one can run away. By the way, what about Lao Zhan? How I didn't see him. β
Ji Wenji glanced at him: "People are temporarily helping you manage Three-Eyes Global, and now that you, the main master, are back, of course he will go back to school to teach." β
"People are panicking, he wants to hide, where is such a good thing? I see that he has managed quite well in the past two years, I asked him to come back, and let him take care of the accounts of Three Eyes Global in the future, which is much more relieved than handing it over to you. β
Cao Yuanchao flipped through the account books and documents, and poked the paper with a crackling sound: "Look for yourself, Three-Eyes Global has only broken even in the past two years, has not expanded its debt, and there are still profits." Maybe anyone is blind to me, and I tell you not to tell me to find out. I can see that one or two are unreliable. β
Ji Wenji frowned, and threw the slip on the table to Cao Yuanchao a little aggrieved: "Then you mean corruption, which money did I use myself?" I am someone who is sympathetic to you. Are you blaming me again now? β
"You ......"
Cao Yuanchao didn't finish speaking, his expression was stunned, and a conversation cut in.
"Aid Korea." The one who started the conversation was the director of Three-Eyes Global, Chaos: "Lao Gao is dead, and the body was sent by tapirs. β
Gao Hongbo, the second representative of Yan Zhaohui, the director of Three-Eyes Global, Ying Long's representative, the god of the four desecrations, Yan Zhaohui will include the ninth inheritance.
Cao Yuanchao's expression quickly fell lonely. Even the always straight back has a slight curvature.
Ji Wenji noticed the change in Cao Yuanchao: "What's wrong. β
Cao Yuanchao didn't say a word, his eyes were closed, and he leaned back on the soft sofa, as if he wanted to sink his body into the sofa and find a little warmth.
Ji Wenji got up, leaned over to Cao Yuanchao's side, put her hand on the man's shoulder, and asked softly, "Eh, what's the matter?" β
Cao Yuanchao shook his head, Ji Wenji closed her mouth in amusement, and silently looked at the man lying on the sofa with his face on his back in front of him, looking pained.
