It was daytime when Wang Kunlun and the others arrived at Fifth Avenue, and it was midnight when Xiang Que and Wang Xuanzhen entered Hong Kong Island.
The prosperity of Hong Kong Island reflected the backwardness of the mainland a few decades ago, and after decades, the comparison between the two places basically makes them indistinguishable from each other. There are also several first-tier big cities in the mainland on Hong Kong Island. Even with the development of the mainland has the momentum to catch up with Hong Kong Island.
Getting off the container truck and stepping on the land of Hong Kong Island, as Wang Xuanzhen said, Xiang Que immediately felt the strong stench of copper in this city. This feeling is not an adjective, but it is true.
In Xiang Que's eyes, the entire city of Hong Kong Island is shrouded in a mass of wealth. This wealth is gradually condensed with the development of the city. Just like in China, ancient capitals such as Xi'an and Nanjing and the capital The top is full of majestic purple air, which is a sign of being or is now the capital of a dynasty. Because of the developed economy on Hong Kong Island, it is naturally rich in wealth, so it is much easier to make money here than in other places. Reasonable.
In China, cities in the Northwest and Northeast have been clamoring for the slogan of revitalizing the Northwest and developing old industrial bases for these years, but they have worked hard and made great efforts in the past few years, but these two places just cannot develop. It's not that the people and the government here are not good enough, but that the wealth is too weak. If you don't gather money, you won't be able to gather popularity. If you don't have money, you have nothing. How can you develop? .
After getting off the container truck, the two found a nearby hotel to check in. It was already midnight and it was not appropriate to do anything, so we had to wait until tomorrow.
Having nothing to say all night, in the early morning of the next day, Wang Xuanzhen dialed his uncle's phone number in front of the window sill of the hotel.
"Uncle, we are up"
"The person you are going to meet also knows his identity and knows some etiquette. Don't let people say that I am a junior of the Wang family who is not sensible." Uncle Wang Xuanzhen reminded me seriously on the phone.
"I understand this measure"
"Just understand, I'll give him a call to make an appointment, see when it's convenient for you to rush over"
After hanging up the phone, Wang Xuanzhen sat by Xiang Que's bed and took out a cigarette and stuffed it into his mouth.
"What's the matter?" Xiang Que said with a cigarette dangling from his eyes.
"Crack" Wang Xuanzhen took the initiative to click on him, and then said: "We have to meet a big man later. In Hong Kong Island, you may not be able to do some things if you go to the government, the police, or the association, but it will definitely be useful to find him, because this A person on Hong Kong Island is a flag, which is equivalent to a symbol of the city. You said you can¡¯t empty your hands when you see such a person? Although he may not care about anything, we have to take care of it.¡±
Xiang Que smoked a cigarette, hummed, and said, "You have to get a gift, right?"
"Etiquette, etiquette, I am going to see him as a junior of the Wang family, so it is necessary to bring a small gift or something for the elder. Of course, I have nothing on me that can be handed out. You have to come here for this matter." "
"You should, you should, after all, are you running errands for me?" Xiang Que pointed to his ragged canvas bag and said, "Go get it for me, there are things in it that you can take out."
"This man is rich and powerful. If you give him anything valuable, it may look like a pile of dung in his eyes, so you should be surprised." Wang Kunlun handed Xiang Que's canvas bag to him.
It's been more than half a year since I came out, and the last thing left in Xiang Que's bag is the magic whip, the Tai Chi diagram and half of the iron sword. He squandered all the things he brought when he went down the mountain before, but the last time Xiang Que went back to Gujing After the observation, he left with the old Taoist. The uncle was in the underworld, and the elder brother was gone. Gujing Temple went to watch the sky. When he went down the mountain, he brought out some things that he could bring in the temple, and there were quite a few of them. Something you can get your hands on.
Xiang Que took out a fist-sized gourd from his bag, with a red string tied in the middle. The texture of the gourd was very old and its original color had been lost. When Wang Xuanzhen took it in his hand, it obviously felt very rough, and it shook slightly. At that time, there was a slight clattering sound from inside. This thing looked very inconspicuous, and it might be crushed by someone's foot if it was thrown on the road.
"Wealth-gathering gourd? If it were a magic weapon, it would be a fun thing, but it doesn't look like it. It's relatively rare in itself, and you wouldn't give it away at will." Wang Xuanzhen looked at the gourd in his hand and asked in confusion. road.
"There are too many gourds that gather wealth, and it is not eye-catching when you take them out, but this gourd does not gather wealth. It is inconspicuous and has no effect. The important thing is the little water in the gourd's stomach"
"What is it?" Wang Xuanzhen shook again, and there was another slight clattering sound from inside.
"When you send it out, ask the other party to hang this gourd on his body. Don't dare to say if there are too many. I can guarantee that he will extend it for another five years.life"
"Hey, you're kidding me." Wang Xuanzhen was taken aback, and his hands suddenly felt a little heavy.
Five-year lifespan sounds very inconspicuous at first glance, but to young people in their twenties and thirties, five years is just a flick of a finger, because young people can spend many five years in the second half of their lives.
But if it is an old man in his seventies and eighties, if you tell him to let him live for five more years, he may be able to give you all his life savings, because they are all counting the days on their fingers, and suddenly they can live for five more years. It was obviously too incredible.
And the person Wang Xuanzhen and Xiang Que were going to meet was over 70 years old, and he was still in control of the family business and had never retired. His words have been in the newspapers in recent years.
"If I can be given five years, I can build a huge business empire, or I can make my company to a higher level, but unfortunately my time is running out, I am old"
It is conceivable that if the gourd in Wang Xuanzhen's hand was sent over, five years of life would be nothing to the other party.
"The gourd contains the Styx water from the underworld, which can absorb a wisp of death energy from a person's body. If that person wears it on his body for many years, his death energy will be reduced by a few points when he is getting old, and it can help him regain his life. years of life"
Wang Xuanzhen played with the gourd in his hand in amazement and said: "I know the water of the Styx River, doesn't it mean that the water of the Underworld will evaporate when it reaches the Yangworld?"
Xiang Que pointed to the gourd in his hand and said, "It's locked inside. There is a magic circle on this gourd, which traps the water of the River Styx."
Old age in birth, old age, sickness and death refers to people getting old and dying. As people age, their vitality gradually loses and their dead energy slowly emerges. After a long time, when the vitality in the body is completely lost and replaced by dead energy, it is normal for a person to die of old age. Well, if a person is getting old at this stage, but the dead energy is drawn out, it will naturally delay the time of death a little bit.
