Disaster without reason is inevitable in the end.

As soon as Chen Tianhong stepped into another unfathomable whirlpool, he encountered additional challenges before he could settle down. This gave him a headache and at the same time had to face a bad situation.

In the face of the current situation and pressure, he concentrated on summarizing the successes and failures of the past, and successively made deployments to let the shops enter the operation process.

As the saying goes: freezing three feet is not a day's cold.

The operation of shops is inseparable from the accumulation of popularity and heritage. For example, the background includes shrewd and capable guys, strong financial and material resources, unique business characteristics, and so on, all the inner strength that can withstand the test. The time required can range from three to five years to more than a hundred years.

Therefore, the particularity of shop management determines that Chen Tianhong has to take the sword and find another way. The key to success lies in whether it is possible to form a strong impact with its own characteristics and thus open up the situation.

Before the impact, he did not hesitate to choose to show weakness. Of course, it is weak in itself, but it just follows the trend and does not deliberately charge the big-tailed wolf. In this way, everything looks more real.

First of all, he took care of Dangyangtang as a "'meat' shop". This is something he is very sure of, and it is also the best use of the artifact.

Secondly, use the difference in the price of the spirit stones earned from selling the meat to buy spiritual materials from other shops on Dangyang Street. This, no matter from that point of view, is tantamount to drinking water to quench your thirst and transfusing blood for others.

The shop enters such a cycle, and the opponent seems to be completely relieved. As a result, he obtained a three-month "honeymoon period" for the new treasurer.

Three months later, it was August of that year.

Chen Tianhong sat behind the counter, seemingly leisurely looking through the account books, but in fact his thoughts were chaotic. After the New Year, he was only twenty-eight years old, and he already felt that his life was about to reach the point of sunset. I can't help but miss my relatives on the other side, miss the people whose life and death are uncertain, grieve the dead, and hate the "people" who put themselves to death. And now, there is nothing he can do but let the time pass little by little, and he is getting old day by day, waiting for the emergence of a turning point in infinite passivity.

I have told myself countless times in my heart to be patient, but it is always difficult to suppress a restless heart.

At this time, Wu Cheng, who went to exchange spiritual materials, came back, and a bitter gourd face had already explained the situation.

Chen Tianhong looked over calmly, and still asked, "Price increase?"

Wu Cheng wiped the sweat from his face and replied, "Forbidden to sell." In addition, I heard that there has been a recent change in the Beast Mountain in the north of the city......"

Jubeast Mountain, located a hundred miles north of Tiantai City, is a half-ice and half-snow annular mountain range. The cold air in the mountain range swirls back and forth, never flowing out, and over the years, it has formed a special climate and spiritual power, nourishing and giving birth to unique animal and bird species. Similarly, the monster beasts and fierce birds that grow in the mountain range never take the initiative to leave.

There is also a mysterious reason why such a peculiar mountain area is called "Gathering Beast Mountain": no matter how the strong people of the human race hunt it, the demon beasts in this mountain area will never become extinct, and people have never found any trace of foreign demon beasts stationed in that mountain area. It seems that the Gathering Beast Mountain Range will produce and sell its own demon beasts.

There have been two beast tide movements in the Gathering Beast Mountain Range, both of which were vicious battles between demon beasts. Strangely, the Terrans also don't know the real reason for this, and only some speculation circulates.

As long as there is an abnormality in the Gathering Beast Mountain Range, the powerhouses in Tianqi City will quickly gather strength and go to hunt for treasure. The strong people in the city closest to Tiantai City, or the strong people who have already received the news, as well as some monks who are willing to take the risk to fight, will rush as much as possible to compete for resources or pick up leaks.

Chen Tianhong slowly glanced at the shop, Tian Tian and Hei Min stood aside, Cai, Yan, and Yu stood behind the counter, Wu Cheng stood at the door, and Fan Xiaozhang just walked into the shop from the backyard, and he sat on the shopkeeper's chair ten steps away from the counter. Such a force made him quickly dispel his plans to try his luck.

"Brother Cai, what is the total difference in the income of the spirit stone in three months?" Since the opening of the business, Chen Tianhong has not asked about the spirit stone, but just packed all the spirit materials purchased every day into Xiaoding.

"In total, the gross income is six hundred spirit stones, and the net profit is sixty spirit stones. ”

Listening to Cai Yixiao's reply, Chen Tianhong couldn't help but slowly close his eyes, an old figure appeared in front of him, and sighed in his heart: Now, even "drinking to quench thirst" has been rejected. If Lumber is here, he will teach me to break the game.

After a long time, Chen Tianhong stood up, walked to the counter, threw all the remaining animal meat on the board outside the door, and immediately saw a stray dog rushing out, sharing the food, and said indifferently: "Brother Cheng, close the door." Everyone also rests for a few days. Let me think again. ”

With that, he walked slowly towards the back hall.

I came to the shadow wall in the backyard and saw the puppy sleeping stretching under the wall to bask in the sun. In three months, the puppy's four legs have grown another three inches, but there is still no change in the body. At first glance, it is lying on the ground, like a crutch in the shape of limbs.

Chen Tianhong was a little sleepy, and he also leaned against the wall, closing his eyes and resting.

Cai Yixiao and the others walked to the backyard, and when they saw this, they didn't bother, and went back to their rooms.

Wu Cheng's understanding of Chen Tianhong was not like that of others, and he was uneasy and did not dare to go back to the room, but stood silently under the shadow wall.

"Brother Cheng, if you don't mind, sit down. We bask in the sun together against the wall. ”

Wu Cheng sat aside silently and said, "Shopkeeper, are you going to ask Daddy Park about it again?"

In the past three months, in his spare time, Chen Tianhong would always ask about the old people and old things in Dangyangtang. In fact, he had already determined that Wu Cheng really didn't know anything. Wu Chengqi is just a street child adopted by the former old shopkeeper Park Hui. Pu Hui herself is only a beginner cultivator of the divine artistic conception, and she is good at blowing her feng shui physiognomy all her life.

No matter how you dig from that angle, it's impossible to find valuable clues.

The truly mysterious Dangyang Dazhen is afraid that there are not many people in the world today who know or know it.

Chen Tianhong has been pondering a question: What kind of considerations did the people who sent themselves to be Yangtang come from?

"When my father was sober, he liked to talk about astronomy and geography, and when he was drunk, he always talked about how mysterious he was when he was a real person. At least as far as I can remember, Daddy never had any friends or acquaintances. He always lamented that the world was declining and the world was hot and cold. ”

Wu Cheng saw that Chen Tianhong didn't speak, and he nagged again. Actually, he has been saying the same thing for almost three months.

Chen Tianhong still didn't speak, just leaned quietly against the wall, allowing himself to relax completely.

Wu Cheng also stopped talking, quietly leaning against the wall, his eyes blank, staring directly at the ground in front of him.

Nothing for a day.

Until late at night, Chen Tianhong, who had really fallen asleep, woke up slowly, and was hesitating whether to cultivate, when he suddenly felt a gentle tapping sound from his back. The whole person immediately became nervous, but fortunately, the habit he had developed over the years kept him calm and calm.

He didn't move, breathing evenly, his eyes still closed. Then, I felt it with my heart, and gradually determined that the source of this knocking sound was actually from the puppy lying next to him. Continuing to be sure, it is a rhythmic and regular pulse initiated from the puppy's limbs.

Chen Tianhong was sure that it was a false alarm, but he also dispelled his idea of cultivation, and simply continued to rest, but he couldn't sleep at all. Hell, my mind is full of the strange scenes in the old mansion of the broken family, and I can't get rid of it. Thinking of that ghost, I felt more and more that there was also one in the small courtyard at present, staring at me. I felt a pair of eyes hidden in the shadows, staring at me all the time.

As the saying goes: There are ghosts in the heart, and ghosts really exist.

For him, he has experienced many unbelievable adventures, so that he knows that the story cannot be repeated, but he always feels that he has been in the same story cycle.

In fact, it was a quiet night.

After dawn, Chen Tianhong still didn't get up, took out the old account book and looked through it. When Yangtang's old account book, he read it almost tens of thousands of times. I know that there are no flaws and gains, but I always can't control myself to look at it.

Wu Cheng stood up and walked to the front hall.

Chen Tianhong knew that he was going to open the door, but he didn't stop him. After all, it was already a habit that was deeply rooted in him.

"Who?"

Wu Chenggang bypassed the shadow wall and suddenly roared, but the whole person took three steps back, squatting on the ground with his butt, and his breath seemed to be suffocated.

The puppy was indifferent, just a pair of ears that were erected and drooped.

Chen Tianhong was also indifferent, calmly looking through the old account book.

The others had already rushed out of the room and gathered around. The farmland and the black man helped Wu Cheng up, and Wu Cheng's eyes looked straight ahead, as if his soul had been hooked away.

Everyone watched Chen Tianhong bury his head in the account book, and couldn't help but look at each other, not knowing why. They all thought to themselves: Wasn't Wu Cheng's roar the first to be heard by him? How could he be so indifferent?

After a while, Chen Tianhong slowly raised his head, everyone suddenly gasped, and when the weapon in his hand was swung out, when he flashed back five steps, he roared in unison: "Who are you?"

At this moment, Chen Tianhong's facial expression was: a skeletal face that was hideous and deformed to the appearance of a non-human and non-beast.

How can a normal person's face become a skeletal face overnight?

Even if it's a skeletal face, how can it be deformed and transformed into a non-human appearance?

Suddenly, Chen Tianhong twisted his neck, and then, the weird face slowly returned to its original state, it was still a handsome face, with a deep smile.

Chen Tianhong stood up and kicked the puppy. The puppy reluctantly stood up and stood listlessly beside him.

"Hei Min, farmland, you two will help Wu Cheng back to the room and take care of it. Chen Tianhong instructed, "Cai, Yan, Yu, Fan, the four of you go to the city to see if you can find out more about Jubeast Mountain." ”

Fan Xiaozhang said angrily: "What did you mean just now? Did you deliberately scare us? Look at it, what did you scare Brother Wu Cheng into?"

Chen Tianhong did not respond positively, but easily turned around and walked towards the front hall. When he walked to the left side of the shadow wall, he gently patted the very ordinary wall, and stopped talking, and was silent for a long time.

"In this life, there will always be a fear in your heart that you never want to face. And this fear is mostly the other side of the person or thing that I am most familiar with. ”

With that, he walked to the front hall alone.

"This is the first time that the shopkeeper has stayed under this shadow wall all night, and it is definitely not the first time that Brother Wu Cheng has stayed. Judging from what the two of them had just encountered, this extremely ordinary shadow wall may have mysterious and strange hallucinogenic abilities. Cai Yixiao analyzed calmly and calmly, "I think Shopkeeper Chen has solved the puzzle." ”

"Brother Cai, are you saying that the account book and spiritual material record that the old silkworm looks through every day will have other secrets under this face-changing wall?" Fan Xiaozhang is really not stupid, and in this mysterious Dangyang Hall, everyone has been pondering all the possibilities, and when they see some abnormalities, they think of it more naturally, "However, we have all read the account book and the spiritual material record, and they are almost backwards." I don't look like there's a secret. ”

"Do you still remember the scene of the 'Extreme Realm' on the land of the Eighth Ring?" Yan Wuqing said indifferently, "I don't know why, I always feel that Brother Chen has a pair of mysterious eyes. ”

Fan Xiaozhang stiffened his neck and said, "He still has a 'black heart'!"

Cai Yixiao said: "Everyone should prepare, prepare, I think we will leave soon and go to a station." ”

Fan Xiaozhang Mu Ne, Yan Wuqing, Yu Jinlin smiled lightly, and the farmland and Hei Min were expressionless.

At this moment, a door in the west wing opened, and a beautiful girl walked out. Everyone looked at each other, and the girl walked over slowly, acting a blessing.

"Thank you for taking care of the eldest brother and two younger sisters. The little girl has been away from home for a long time and is going home. ”

She is the girl rescued by Hei Min, who has been recuperating in Dangyang Hall for several months and has fully recovered. At this time, if you want to leave, naturally no one will stop you. Fan Xiaozhang wanted to speak several times and stopped. Everyone watched her leave.

Just as she was about to walk to the front hall, she suddenly let out a strange scream.

Yan Wuqing and the others instantly rushed to the front hall, but saw a bloody blurred human head hanging on the door. The old and new spiritual materials and account books are scattered all over the place, and Chen Tianhong's whereabouts are unknown.

Farmland and Hei Min rushed out of the door as soon as possible, chasing them from both directions of the street.

Fan Xiaozhang's reaction was not slow at all, and immediately came to the girl's side, and said in a low voice: "Little sister, you go to the back hall and stay." ”

The girl lost her square inch and was at a loss, Fan Xiaozhang half-helped and half-dragged her, and led her to the backyard.

Cai, Yan, and Yu were surprisingly calm, and the three of them glanced at each other, nodded to each other tacitly, and walked out of the shop one after another. After walking north of the street for a moment, I turned into another alley and walked all the way down the dark alley.

At the end of the alley, there is a sealed wall. The trio jumped directly over the high wall and appeared under a hillside outside the city. There is a low and sparse grove on the hillside.

The three of them faced the hillside, saluted respectfully, and said in unison: "Juniors meet seniors!"

Hm~, Hm~, Hm~

Three jade plaques flew out of the woods, and they flew accurately towards the three of them. The three reached out to catch it. It was three palm-sized purple jade plaques.

"This is the reward that this seat gives to the three of you. Remember, you must be optimistic about the 'Fire Cloud Divine Pearl' for this seat. An ethereal voice came from the grove, unpredictable, "The matter here will soon be handled by Chen Silkworm." You will go to the next stop, which will be a new world that you have never heard of. At that time, the three of you will know the magic of the jade plaque in your hand. ”
