Chapter 5: Descendants of the Protoss
Tang Fangbiao's face immediately turned as white as snow, and there was no trace of blood.
It took a long time for him to ask, "When did you find out?" ”
"Just when I wanted to take a breath and go to the window for a cigarette."
"Did someone out there give you a hint?"
"No, I'm not familiar with life here, I don't even know a ghost, who will tell me."
"And how did you find out?"
"I just picked up the carpet with my foot while I was smoking."
"It's as simple as that?" Tang Fangbiao was surprised.
"Yes, because there's a bare concrete floor under the carpet."
"What does that mean?"
Qi Lu said with a smile: "Is there any casino that is not carefully renovated before opening?" Don't you even have the money to lay floor tiles? And everything in it is brand new, as if it was just bought. This speaks volumes about the fact that the casino had just opened, and everything was added in a hurry. But the manager told me that this place has been open for a long time, can you give me a reasonable explanation? ”
Tang Fangbiao turned to ask, "Then who is the god?" ”
"Of course it's you." Qi Lu said: "The mysterious female voice that has been lingering in my ears is your ghost, right?" You want to mess with my mind and make me lose a little faster, don't you? ”
"Why do you say it's me, and not someone else?"
"Because the people in this scene, except for you and me, are down-to-earth, and the other people walk back and forth on the carpet without leaving footprints or the like, don't you think it's too strange?"
"Wise, then why do you think I'm a god and not a ghost?"
"Hehe, don't test my IQ. Can ghosts appear during the day? I've lived so long, and I've never seen a powerful ghost that isn't afraid of the sun. ”
"Hahahaha!" Tang Fangbiao laughed loudly and threw the wine glass in his hand on the ground.
The moment the glass fell to the ground, everyone but the two of them disappeared like smoke, and the casino became empty, as if nothing had happened.
"Sure enough, it's a fantasy you planted." Qi Lu asked, "Is Ding Xiaolan okay?" ”
"Of course it's fine." Tang Fangbiao snapped his fingers, and Ding Xiaolan immediately appeared in front of the two of them.
"I'm fine, how do I feel like I've slept for a long time?"
Qi Lu smiled: "It's okay, it's just that this fairy uncle wants to talk to you." ”
"Immortals?" Ding Xiaolan seems to believe it or not.
"It's like a fake." Tang Fangbiao also laughed, grabbed his hand in the air, and a large handful of banknotes appeared in his hand.
Qi Lu was stunned for a moment, because he saw that Tang Fangbiao's arm had a pattern like a flower bone, and he couldn't help but smile in his heart, even immortals have become fashionable these days, and they still like tattoos. But you are a pure man who has a bad tattoo, but you embroider flowers, and you are not afraid of others saying that you are a pseudo-mother.
Tang Fangbiao handed the money to Ding Xiaolan and said, "A mere gift is not a tribute, I hope you can like it."
"Of course I do." Although Ding Xiaolan is not a greedy person, she can't refuse this heartwarming gift. However, she still didn't believe that Tang Fangbiao would be a fairy, in her eyes, this rich man might be a magician.
Qi Lu sighed: "Is your gift a little cheesy?" ”
Tang Fangbiao sighed with him, "I don't seem to have anything else to give except this." "Hidden words
"You are really honest, worthy of Zhao Gongming, the God of Wealth." Qi Lu raised his glass and took a sip of wine.
"What, you say he's the God of Wealth?" This time, Ding Xiaolan didn't believe it at all.
Qi Lu asked rhetorically: "A poor god who only has money left, who else can there be besides Zhao Gongming?" ”
"You're really a smart person, but if you're too smart, you'll be in trouble."
Qi Lu said bitterly: "That's true, so you came to trouble me." ”
"Hehe, it's time for us to get down to business." Zhao Gongming clapped his hands, and outside the door walked a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes, holding a briefcase, his forehead was towering, and his face was rich, but his face was burnt yellow, and his skin was as bloodless as dead fish meat.
Qi Lu was stunned when he saw this person, and the wine glass that was raised to his mouth was also put down.
Ding Xiaoyun said: "Don't tell me that another immortal is coming. ”
Qi Lu said: "How can there be so many immortals in the world!" I thought you would know him, who knows you don't. ”
The middle-aged man said, "We have never met, how can you know me?" ”
"It's not strange, it's like I know Jackie Chan, but Jackie Chan doesn't know me. A celebrity like Mr. Yang, there are often reports from you in the financial news, how could I not remember. ”
Ding Xiaolan heard Qi Lu say this, and he also knew who the middle-aged man was, he was Yang Peng, a well-known rich man in the country, specializing in the steel business, and it is said that he has a net worth of several billion.
Zhao Gongming smiled and said to Yang Peng: "What do you think of the candidate I picked?" ”
"Very satisfied." Yang Peng smiled and nodded, and then sat down beside them.
Zhao Gongming said again: "Originally, Mr. Yang was still skeptical, but through the gambling game I arranged today, you performed very well, so he can also rest assured that he will entrust the matter to you." ”
"Hey, wait." Qi Lu shouted, "Are you looking for me to do something, or is it him?" ”
Zhao Gongming said: "It's Mr. Yang." He had a tricky thing to do with finding the right person to do, and that's when I thought of you. ”
"It's strange, why would you, as a god, do things for humans?"
Yang Peng hurriedly replied on the side: "When I was young, I met Daxian by chance, Daxian has always had a compassionate heart, and seeing that I am in a predicament now, he is willing to help me with this." ”
Zhao Gongming answered: "I don't hide it from you, I owe Mr. Yang a favor before, so I have to pay it back now." ”
Now Zi Qi Lu understood, so he said: "No wonder Mr. Yang is rich, it turns out that the God of Wealth is behind him." ”
Yang Peng's face sank, and then Zhengse said to him: "Mr. Qi, you are wrong. I can achieve today's achievements entirely by my personal ability, and it has nothing to do with Daxian. And this is also the first time I've asked Daisen to help me. ”
Of course Qi Lu doesn't believe it, who would be so stupid to put a God of Wealth next to him and not take advantage of it? But he immediately saw Zhao Gongming beside him and told him affirmatively, saying that he had never given Yang Peng any help in wealth.
Immortals don't deceive people, and now Zi Qi Lu can't help but have a little more admiration for Yang Peng, a strange person.
Yang Peng said again: "Let's be polite, why don't you call me Lao Yang, and I call you Xiaoqi?" ”
Qi Lu nodded in agreement, such a friend without a shelf is worth associating.
"In order to show my sincerity, I will return your store to you now, and the matter is done, I will still pay you a million."
Qi Lu was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly expressed his gratitude. At this time, he heard Ding Xiaolan asking strangely beside him: "Is our company opened by Mr. Yang?" ”
Zhao Gongming said with a smile: "There, it's just that Qi Lu lost all his money when he gambled just now and lost the store to me." ”
Qi Lu was embarrassed, he just wanted to quibble a few words when he saw Ding Xiaolan looking at him angrily, and immediately understood that she was very angry in her heart, but because everyone was present, she was not good at having a seizure in person. Qi Lu had no choice but to smile awkwardly, and hide his embarrassment by bowing his head and drinking.
After drinking, Qi Lu calmed down a lot, and suddenly felt a little chill all over his body. Because one million is nothing to a rich man like Yang Peng, but how can there be a free lunch in the world, and he doesn't solve it if he has something to do, but asks Zhao Gongming to go to such great lengths to find a suitable candidate, it seems that this matter must be even more difficult.
But he fell into a trap and promised others, how could there be a reason that words don't count, so Qi Lu stubbornly asked: "Now you still tell me what do you want me to help you with?" ”
"It's a long story." Yang Peng said: "Legend has it that during the wilderness period, there was a sacred mountain called Kunlun, which was not only the capital of the Emperor of Heaven, but also the place where the gods lived. Later, I don't know what the reason is, the Emperor of Heaven suddenly disappeared, and the gods suddenly had no leader, so they left the sacred mountain one after another, and Kunlun was abandoned and buried in the dust of history, and no one knew its exact location anymore. ”
Qi Lu frowned and asked, "These rumors and wild history, Lao Yang, are you also interested?" ”
"Don't interject, listen to Mr. Yang's words." Ding Xiaolan complained about him next to her, and it could be seen that she was a little interested in this story.
Yang Peng continued: "However, there are also lost ancient books that say that the gods did not leave Kunlun voluntarily, but because after years of gods and demons war, most of the gods were killed and injured, and their strength was sharply reduced, and finally Kunlun fell into the hands of the demon clan. They destroyed everything on the sacred mountain, so Kunlun became a barren mountain and disappeared into the Three Realms. ”
Qi Lu was still frowning, but Ding Xiaolan asked with interest: "Then these immortals lost Kunlun, where did they go?" ”
"Some of them are nowhere to be found, some continue to cultivate in the newly built Heavenly Court, and a few gods have wandered into the human world, combined with the human beings in the mortal world, and started a family."
Ding Xiaolan said happily: "No wonder there were legends in ancient China such as the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, Xu Xian and the White Lady, and the agarwood splitting the mountain to save the mother, it turns out that they are all true." ”
Qi Lu said coldly: "Please, beauty, Bai Suzhen is a snake demon, she is not a fairy." ”
Ding Xiaolan glared at him, and asked Yang Peng again: "Then where are these immortals living in the mortal world now?" ”
"They're all dead."
"Immortals will die too?"
"I don't know why, maybe if they stay in the world for a long time, they will slowly lose their mana and become like us ordinary people. Therefore, they will also experience birth, old age, sickness and death, which is a natural law. ”
Ding Xiaolan couldn't help but sigh after hearing this, but Qi Lu sneered and said: "These are all illusory legends, and they have never been recorded in history. ”
"This is not a legend!" Zhao Gongming replied in a deep voice: "Although we juniors have not seen Kunlun with our own eyes, there are still a very small number of primeval primordial gods in the Heavenly Realm, and they have all lived in the paradise of Kunlun. Although the Sacred Mountain has disappeared for a long time, our Divine Realm has also looked for it many times based on the evidence provided by the survivors. ”
"Where did you find it?"
"No, it's still a mystery."
Yang Peng said: "Xiao Qi, you can not believe it, but I can tell you a secret now, and after you hear it, you will believe that I am not lying." ”
"What's the secret?"
"Because I am the descendants of the gods who have fallen into the mortal world."
"What!?" Qi Lu jumped up from the chair in shock.
