Chapter XXXIX

Qiu Botao's matter is quite simple, that is, five days ago, he received an invitation letter inviting him to participate in a ****. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

After so many years in business, Qiu Botao can be regarded as a successful person, and this kind of thing is nothing new to him. Today's world is like this, with a little money, the scale of the enterprise is somewhat famous, and all kinds of people come to fight the autumn wind. Charities, hospitals, media, culture, education, and even religion, organizations and associations of all kinds come to the door under different banners.

Whatever the name of a seminar, a sorority, a sponsor, or a title of an outstanding person, the purpose is the same, which is to get money out of the hands of their bosses.

Qiu Botao's way of dealing with these things is also very simple, first look at the other party's background, and then look at the other party's appetite, if the background is deep, and the appetite is quite appropriate, then the money will be given, and it will be regarded as spending money to buy peace, and it also has some propaganda effect. If there is no background and the lion opens his mouth, then let the other party come and go back. Although he is not very rich, he also has thighs.

At first glance, he thought it was a local villagers' association, but if you look closely at the content of the invitation, it looks like some kind of spiritual class or something.

Nowadays, the pace of society is fast, and many people have too much pressure to work and live and have nowhere to solve it, so all kinds of spiritual training courses have come into being, although it sounds mysterious, in fact, it is to take the concept of "spirituality" in Western Yahism, and then install yoga, psychological counseling and various spiritual chicken soup and other materials, under the banner of helping people reduce stress and relax, collect money and cheat money.

Qiu Botao naturally had no interest in this kind of thing, and asked someone a little about it, this Nanxiang Association came out of nowhere, and it had no background and no relationship, so he just threw it in the trash.

Who knew that three days later, when he went out to run errands, he suddenly received a phone call in the car, and there was a gloomy voice on the other side, asking him to go to the designated place at the designated time, otherwise he would bear the consequences.

Qiu Botao almost scolded, but after all, he was a businessman, so he couldn't help it after thinking about it, and said lukewarmly: "I don't necessarily have time, you can say anything directly." ”

The accent on the other end of the phone was a little strange, although it was spoken in Chinese, but there was always a bit of tongue biting: "Didn't I send you an invitation, it has all of it." ”

"Invitation?" Qiu Botao thought for a long time, and then remembered that he had indeed received such a thing before, and he was not very polite at the moment: "What kind of Nanxiang club are you, I'm sorry, I'm not interested in you." ”

The other party sneered twice and hung up the phone.

Qiu Botao didn't care, he came out to visit a good friend in the business field, named Ding Wenying. A few days ago, I suddenly fell ill and now I am lying at home and not seeing any outsiders. Qiu Botao usually gets along well with each other, and recently there is cooperation on projects, so he came over to express himself and discuss business matters by the way.

As soon as he entered Ding's house, he smelled the smell of herbs all over the house, and saw Ding Wenying's family with grief on their faces, Qiu Botao was stunned, thinking that Lao Ding's condition was so serious. When he walked into the patient's bedroom and saw Ding Wenying's appearance on the bed, he was immediately surprised.

He had only eaten with Ding Wenying a week ago, when the other party was full of red light, and only a few days later, the strong man who was originally 1.8 meters tall and weighed 18 was almost thin. The skin was loose on the bones, most of the hair had fallen out, and the facial features on the face had begun to shrink, and if it weren't for the slight breathing on the wings of the nose, it would almost have been thought to be a skin-wrapped skeleton.

Qiu Botao almost vomited at that time, so he couldn't bear it, this situation is naturally not good to ask more, put down the gift, and asked the Ding family a little about the condition, no one can say why, only know that Ding Wenying is suddenly ill, and it has become like this in three days, and he can't find the reason when he goes to the hospital for examination, but he just says that the patient's organs are failing rapidly and he has been weak.

Seeing Ding Wenying's tragic situation, Qiu Botao didn't have the heart to stay longer, and when he was about to say goodbye, the corner of his eye suddenly swept to the bookshelf, and a pair of red letterhead was a little familiar, and when he looked over, it was an invitation from the Nanxiang Association.

At this time, Qiu Botao hadn't connected the two together, but he felt a little strange, and he felt even more uneasy in his heart. Hurriedly said goodbye and left, he inquired in his social circle again, and the news he got this time surprised him even more.

It turns out that the Nanxiang Association has been spreading in Jiangdong for half a year, and it has been doing one thing, that is, to attract rich people to join the association. It is organized in a strange way, with no benefits for those who join, but a peace charm is issued. Membership is subject to a large membership fee, which is said to be held once a year.

This Nanxiang Association does not organize activities and no courses, but only has a strange rule: each member can find the principal with the help of peace charms, pay the corresponding price, and can give a "heavenly punishment" to non-members.

Yes, the word "heavenly punishment" is written on the regulations. The meaning of this was that Qiu Botao didn't understand it at first, and the person he asked was also vague, as if he didn't want to say it too clearly, but told him vaguely: If it wasn't very difficult, this would be able to get in.

Qiu Botao thanked the other party for the reminder, and after hanging up the phone, he immediately found the contact number of the Nanxiang Association in the call record and dialed it. After listening to his explanation, the other party first asked his name, and after a while, he told him coldly: You no longer meet the membership rules.

Qiu Botao felt that something was wrong at that time, and he slept in his room that night, tossing and turning, and he couldn't sleep well. I don't know how long it took, but suddenly there was a knock on the door outside, which was relatively gentle at first, and then became more and more urgent, and finally it was like a violent storm.

Qiu Botao's wife was so frightened that neither of them dared to get up, and after glancing at the time, it was already one o'clock in the morning. The couple kept their eyes open in bed, and it was almost dawn when the movement outside disappeared.

After getting up, Qiu Botao went outside to check as soon as possible, and found that the doors and windows were full of handprints, and what surprised him the most was a pair of gossip mirrors hanging on the door, and countless small cracks appeared on the surface.

Qiu Botao couldn't sit still at this time, and immediately found Zhang Zizai, who was startled when he heard about it.

This Nanxiang Club, Zhang Zizai has only just heard about it, although it has appeared in Jiangdong for half a year, but it has always been very low-key before, and it is mysterious and mysterious to attract people to join the club, and there is no big move.

It's just that in the past few days, this organization has suddenly become active, and invitations have been widely distributed everywhere, just like casting nets to catch fish, and in just a few days, there have been several tragic disasters like Ding Wenying, all of which are rich businessmen who do not know what is going on and refuse the invitation of the Nanxiang Association.

Last night, Zhang Zizai stayed at Qiu's house for one night, and also spent a sleepless night. This morning, with dark circles under his eyes, he told the Qiu family and his wife that there was nothing he could do, and he wanted to ask for another Gao Ming, and naturally, the two of them thought of Qiu Zhe.

"Comfortable," the car had already driven to the door of Qiu's house, and after getting out of the car, Qiu Zhe asked Zhang Zizai: "What did you meet at Qiu's house?"

"It seems to be a little ghost," Zhang Zizai said with palpitations: "I didn't dare to go out, there are constantly yin things outside that want to come in through the wall." Fortunately, I was prepared, and the town house spirit runes were laid inside and out, and I personally presided over it, so it was not broken. ”

"So you didn't see that feminine thing with your own eyes?" Qiu Zhe frowned, and as he spoke, Qiu Botao had already opened the door and led the two inside.

"No," Zhang Zizai said a little embarrassedly: "Uncle Shi, you also know that my main skills are to watch the wind, arrange feng shui and cast spells and draw talismans. ”

Qiu Zhe knew that what Zhang Zizai said was true, and he was no longer embarrassed for him at the moment, so he casually took the hot tea brought by a middle-aged woman, and Zhang Zizai introduced: "This is Mrs. Qiu, Mrs. Qiu, this is my uncle." ”

"Hello Qiu Zhenren, it's really up to you to save your life this time. "Housewives are most likely to accept these spirits, especially when they are substantiated. Mrs. Qiu was so panicked now that she had no master, and when she saw Qiu Zhe, she put all her hopes on him, and her words were simply respectful.

"It's okay, Mrs. Qiu, don't worry. Qiu Zhe didn't care too much, if it was really a little ghost, he didn't think it was tricky, but when he thought of the origin of the little ghost, his face was a little unnatural, and he said to Zhang Zizai: "What kind of Nanxiang will really be killed, even such a vicious thing as concocting a little ghost can be done." ”
