"Ah!" Mei Lanting was arranging his clothes and screamed when he saw such a strange thing.
Liu Xilan and Lan Zhanjiang were more sensible and couldn't help but look there in surprise.
The hollow is only the size of a fist, surrounded by colorful lights, and the center is pitch black.
"Here... it should be the Phoenix Mask?" Zhou Banweng judged uncertainly.
No one could answer him. Lan Zhanjiang hesitated for a moment and asked: "Do you want to inform senior Zhu Hong? Inform old...Mr. Zhu Lan?"
"He's okay for the time being. Let's see. If he talks like this again tomorrow. This matter cannot be spread. You all must remember. Yilan has already done that. Speaking of which, everyone is responsible. There can be no more accidents in the world."
Liu Xilan and Mei Lanting supported each other and sent Zhu Tong to the guest room. Only Lan Zhanjiang and Zhou Banweng were left in the crystal hall.
"Grandpa Zhou, do you really want to live here for half a year?" Lan Zhanjiang had already taken off his tattered suit and took off his tie; he looked like a distinguished gentleman.
"When have my words not been counted? I want to see what tricks that dead fish can do." Zhou Banweng picked up the long pipe, lit it and took a deep breath; "Tongshan and I are here, Xilan has already given
Find a villa, and in a few days, when everyone has left, we will move there."
"You have such a bad temper." Lan Zhanjiang stood up and opened a window to let in the cool air.
"Grandpa Zhou, the Jiang family has done very well recently. Jiangjia Village is a famous billion-yuan village. The village chief of Jiangjia Village is also a deputy to the city's National People's Congress. All of this was planned by Jiang Huaiyu behind the scenes. Our people have investigated
, the result was surprising. The private salt business only represents a small part of Qingyang’s business. They invested in the catering and entertainment industry in Chongqing and built a resort near Jiangjia Village. Perhaps this is the real reason why Jiang Xiaoyu is dissatisfied with Orchid. If it had been earlier
After receiving this news, I will advise Yilan to give up this Orchid Building; or transfer the Orchid Building to Qingyang."
"When did you know that?"
"Before dinner, many of the flower baskets sent by colleagues in the industry had the logo of the Qingyang family. They were demonstrating. It was only then that I realized that we had been too careless with Qingyang."
Zhou Banweng closed his eyes for a long time before uttering: "Ignore them for now, Jiang Huaiyu can't leave Jiangjiacun. I will go to Jiangjiacun in a few days. I hope he still remembers what he said back then."
"Don't go." Lan Zhanjiang turned around and said, "Grandpa Zhou, at least until you understand the current situation in Qingyang, you can't go to Jiangjiacun."
"Why?" Zhou Banweng opened his eyes, and instantly, two rays of light were printed on Lan Zhanjiang's face; "Do you really think I am old?"
"That's not what you mean. Grandpa Zhou, you have taught us since we were young that we should think twice before making a decision." Lan Zhanjiang closed the window, sat next to Zhou Banweng and hugged his hand. "You are getting stronger with age, I don't want to let
You take the risk. Dad has repeatedly told me: Take good care of Grandpa Zhou. If something happens to you, how will I explain it to my family?"
"Hmph! You guys are the only ones with sweet mouths." Zhou Banweng withdrew his hand and continued to enjoy the taste of rich tobacco.
"Grandpa Zhou, you and Uncle Qin will stay with you for only a few days; just don't go to Jiangjiacun. I remember what Jiang Huaiyu said back then: If he takes one step out of Jiangjiacun, Fifth-Rank Qingyang will automatically withdraw from Jianghu Road.
.”
"That's it." Zhou Banweng opened his eyes again and looked at the lights outside the window, seeming to recall the passing time; "Men and women, alas, few of them got good results in the end. If you ask me, Qing Dynasty should have been cleared up back then.
How can you reason with them when Yang is expelled from the world and does something like that? Your father is too careful. Look at now, Jiang Huaiyu has hooked up with Kong Ji and raised a powerful son."
Lan Zhanjiang nodded, then shook his head: "Grandpa Zhou, my father also wanted to take care of the overall situation back then. At that time, Jianghu Dao had just started to improve, and it was easy to bring the eighth-level Jianghu together to expel Qingyang for personal grudges. What would others think?
We? That will affect everyone's confidence in Jianghu Dao. Jiang Xiaoyu was an accident. The money he spent to acquire the food company in Shanghai has nothing to do with the Qingyang family. He is what I am most worried about. Grandpa Zhou, for Zhumen
Regarding senior brother, Jiang Xiaoyu was once expelled from his home by Jiang Huaiyu. What did he do in the Western Regions in those years? Who did he make friends with? These are all unclear. In addition, Jiangjiacun developed too fast.
In just five years, it has grown from a quiet and poor mountain village to a billion-dollar village. The local media said it was a miracle. As you know, miracles cannot happen out of thin air. I suspect that there is a trace of the Xie family in it.
.”
"No way? Yin Qiang has always been very careful. It's only been a few years since they came from Taiwan? That girl Xie Jing has no such scheming."
"Xie Jing doesn't have this ability, but Xie Tenglong does. Although he doesn't dare to come to the mainland, he has already extended his hand. I once advised my father not to cooperate with Yin Qiang. He thought it was nothing. In the past few years, our
Money flows in and out of the mainland through Yinqiang's channels. Perhaps it was because of that period of cooperation that Yinqiang saw the prosperous prospects of Jianghu. Now it seems that Xie Tenglong has been secretly wooing Jianghu Dao, and he has connections with both Jinfo and Qingyang.
.”
"That's why I said you are too careful. These people nowadays don't understand what Jianghu is or the morality of Jianghu. It's a pity that Master Bamboo is a good person, but he is too stubborn. He is actually a good man, and we all misjudged him.
He underestimated him. But there is no regret. Only when a monk overcomes himself can he take that step." Zhou Banweng showed an expression of admiration. The realm of the bamboo Taoist priest was also his dream. He didn't care much about the silver spear.
.
"Yes, yes, from now on you will walk around more and tell them more about the past, especially the younger generation." Lan Zhanjiang did not say much and took out a book; "Grandpa Zhou, this is for you.
Please review the gift first."
"What is it?" Zhou Banweng took it and looked through it, then raised his head after a while; "Zhanjiang, this is not good, my business is not..."
"This is what my father and Aunt Zhu Hong have prepared for you. You are a hero. You have done all the things in it. You have killed twenty-four senior Japanese officers. This is all true. This book can make
Everyone knows that in the past years, people like you have made great efforts when the nation faced difficulties..."
Lan Zhanjiang talked eloquently, while Zhou Banweng's face remained calm, and the smile in his eyes became stronger and stronger. A name left in history is the greatest temptation for an old man.
"Among the descendants of the Lan family, Liu family, and Qin family, you are the eldest brother and the most considerate one. Zhanjiang, no matter what, I still think it is inappropriate to sell Orchid House to the Jiang family." Enough of the flattery.
, Zhou Banweng thought of what was happening before him again; "I don't want Lanhua's girls to be wronged the way Yilan is now. They are all poor children, and only Lanhua can give them a future. I know Jiang Huaiyu,
He doesn't treat them as human beings at all."
"I'm afraid that you will always have accidents. We are not ready to properly deal with Qingyang's sudden withdrawal from Jianghu Road." Lan Zhanjiang's worries are justified. He needs to be responsible for Banweng's safety.
"If you quit, just quit. It's not a good thing for such people to stay in the world."
"It's nothing just Qingyang. What I'm afraid of is what the First Grade Golden Buddha will do. As you have seen, their power has expanded rapidly in recent years. It seems that they have no problem leaving the world of Jianghu.
I'm thinking: Should I let Kongji suffer a big or small fall?"
"Yes, let him know how powerful he is and he will stop flying. It's only been a few years? He has forgotten how he got to the position of leader and who paid so much money? Without the foundation laid by you, Yipin
Isn't the Golden Buddha still guarding the mountain? Will those big shots know who he is?" Zhou Banweng said, patting his thigh, his beard trembling slightly.
"Grandpa Zhou, you can't say that. Kongji himself is also very shrewd. Don't forget, he is now a deputy director-level monk?"
"Hahahaha, this is the funniest thing." Zhou Banweng smiled heartily; "A monk who has nothing in the world still pays attention to this. Hahahaha, Kongji said these words without blushing; no wonder Suowonda looked down on him. By the way.
, how did Zhu Tong, a clever guy, accept this apprentice?"
"I don't know either. It seems to be related to the Bamboo Taoist priest." Lan Zhanjiang stood behind Zhou Banweng and lightly beat his back; "You have to pay more attention."
"It's okay, I just want to laugh when I think about it."
"Actually, Kongji has done a good job. After all, times have changed, and information is now developed and complete. Compared with history, those Buddhist scriptures that are full of loopholes cannot withstand the scrutiny of many thoughtful people. Kongji guided the Golden Buddha to the cultural field, and
You must compromise with the secular world. I think this is a good thing, and soon Yu Xuan will embark on this path. However, you need to talk to Yu Xuan. Dao Zong must not imitate the Golden Buddha. They have gone too far.
They are already denying the tradition and breaking away from the main line of Buddhism, which will lead to failure sooner or later. Please pay attention to Yuxuan Taoism and never forget that without Taoist tradition, they will become worthless."
"Okay, I know what you mean. Yu Xuan wants to stay here with me for a while. I will tell him these words. I will live here for the past six months and look after the Orchid Building for Xilan. She is still young and can take over such a
It’s a big stall, it’s difficult. Zhanjiang, what’s going on with that treasure? Is it real or fake? I think there must be something famous in it.”
"There is no difference between true and false. You see, there will be no results in this matter." Lan Zhanjiang frowned slightly, with a strange expression on his face, half smiling but not smiling.
"Then you still..." Zhou Banweng was enjoying himself and didn't see Lan Zhanjiang's expression.
"I am using this matter to delay time and draw their attention to the treasure hunt, so that the world can be calm for a while. There are secular laws and perfect social institutions, but people like them have nowhere to use their kung fu. It is really useless
Too idle; that's why so many boring things happen. The treasure is a dream that can temporarily unite the Jianghu. They may wake up at the next Jianghu reception. But by then, we should be ready.
"
Zhou Banweng was older, and he snored slightly as he listened.
