Bu Tian Gang

Winter Solstice was actually in the same mood as him, the two of them were relatively silent, and it took a long time before they finally recovered.

"Is this painting an auction item?" Liu Qingbo asked calmly.

Winter Solstice flipped through the auction catalogue: "It's not in the auction catalogue."

Liu Qingbo said without hesitation: "Find the owner of the painting and buy it!"

As long as the bid is high enough, he doesn't believe that there are things in this world that cannot be sold.

Winter Solstice: "We don't know the seller's situation yet, so we'll inquire first before we talk about it. There will be an auction in the afternoon, so don't worry."

Liu Qingbo read the introduction next to the painting again, and confirmed that the owner of the collection was not listed on it.

He asked the security personnel patrolling on this floor, but the other party didn't know anything.

Winter Solstice held him back: "Don't be impatient, it's not good to let others see that we care too much about this painting, someone might know."

Like the young lady who entertained them just now.

Although the other party is only responsible for entertaining guests, he must have a certain understanding of this exhibition, so it is suitable to ask around first.

Winter Solstice smiled: "Old Liu, here is your chance to show off."

Liu Qingbo: "...Why me?"

Winter Solstice looked innocent: "You look more tall, rich and handsome than me!"

Liu Qingbo never admitted that he was so flattered by this sentence, he reluctantly said: "I am here for the work of the Special Administration Bureau."

Winter Solstice gave him a high hat without hesitation: "That's right, your ideological awareness is nothing to say, you are the highest in our class!"

Liu Qingbo went there with arrogance, but within 10 minutes, he came back with a gloomy face.

"Isn't it? You can't even handle such a small matter?" Winter Solstice felt inconceivable.

Liu Qingbo rolled his eyes: "That woman is too difficult to communicate with."

Dong Zhi said: "What did she say?"

Liu Qingbo was angry: "I asked her who the owner of this painting was, and she said that the owner didn't want to disclose anything without a signature, and she couldn't disclose it. I said that if she told me, I would treat her to dinner. Give her two thousand dollars, who would have thought that this woman would still look down on me!"

Winter solstice Fu forehead: "You say that, how could people tell you!"

Liu Qingbo sneered: "That's why I said, this woman is too hypocritical. When she heard that I wanted to invite her to dinner, she obviously smiled, and she insisted on showing that she is rich and not promiscuous!"

Winter Solstice sighed and said: "If you don't say invite her to dinner, it might be better. She thinks you want to pursue her, but who knows that you just want to make a deal with her. Although love is also a deal, it is a romantic deal. Some people can equate romance with money, others won't compromise. Let me try!"

Liu Qingbo was taken aback by him: "Who said these words?"

The winter solstice waved his hand, as if he was reclusive in the world, and he flicked his clothes away: "Winter·Tchaikovsky·arrival."

Liu Qingbo: ...

He originally thought that the winter solstice would return in a feather, but he didn't expect the other party to come back soon with a spring breeze on his face.

"It's done?"

Winter Solstice grinned: "The veteran will go out, and one will be worth two. The owner of this painting is one of the organizers of the event, Xiang Mu."

Liu Qingbo didn't believe it: "How did you move her?"

Winter Solstice patted him: "Thanks to having you as a backstop, I told you that you never chased after a girl. When you came back, you regretted it so much that your guts were green. You asked me to come over and apologize, and I even booked a seat at a Michelin-starred restaurant nearby. Please be sure to appreciate her." Come."

Liu Qingbo: ...

He almost had the urge to twist the head of the man in front of him and kick it like a ball.

The winter solstice laughed: "Calm down, calm down, you are sacrificing your appearance for the sake of national construction, do you feel that your image is taller when you think about it?"

Liu Qingbo bit his cheek and smiled: "No, no, yes!"

Winter Solstice gave him an analysis: "Just now if I went there first, you wouldn't have to go the second time. If you messed up first, then I can only make up for you. Well, don't get entangled in such trivial matters. In short, wait At the reception later, Xiang Mu, as the host, should also be there. Let’s find him first, get close to him, and see if we can buy the painting directly. .”

Liu Qingbo squinted at him: "I don't want to have dinner with that woman, you can figure it out yourself!"

Winter Solstice said: "Okay, okay, at worst, you go to order and pay, I will call you halfway, and tell you to leave early..."

With such a discovery, the two of them didn't have the time to watch the exhibition anymore, so they just walked around at will. After finally staying up until noon, the tourists who came to see the exhibition for free gradually left. Those who paid the deposit during the winter solstice were all invited to come. Enjoy a reception upstairs.

The specifications of the food at the reception were good, and there were a lot of good wines. This was an excellent occasion for socializing. Many people were not focused on eating. They were in small groups, talking and laughing happily. Winter Solstice and Liu Qingbo separated, each looking for Xiang Mu Dongzhi soon saw the middle-aged man surrounded by several men and women, who looked very similar to Xiang Mu who he had searched on the Internet.

Holding the wine glass, he walked over as if nothing had happened, pretending to be attracted by their chat, and stopped to listen.

A few people were talking about the recent market conditions and future prospects of antiques, and the lines were like a mountain. The winter solstice was very boring, and they couldn't walk away, so they had to continue to listen with a cheeky face.

Unexpectedly, Xiang Mu suddenly said: "Sir, you just entered this circle, right?"

Winter Solstice blinked and realized that the other party was talking to him, so he smiled and said, "Yeah, but I'm just good at painting and calligraphy. I've heard Mr. Xiang's name for a long time. I heard that you are holding an exhibition here today, so come over here quickly." Open your eyes, and listen to the teachings!"

Xiang Mu also smiled. He has read countless people, and he can tell at a glance that the other party is not in the antique circle at all, and he doesn't criticize them.

"What's your name?"

"Winter, winter's winter."

"Mr. Dong, the visitor is a visitor. I wonder what aspect you want to know?"

Winter Solstice said with a smile: "Ming people don't speak dark words in front of them, and they don't hide the truth. In fact, it's not me who likes calligraphy and painting, but my grandfather. However, he is too old to run around, so he can only let me run errands. Come here today." Afterwards, I saw a painting, which should be very suitable for the old man, and I heard that the owner of the painting is you, so I took the liberty to come here and ask if you would like to give up your love?"

Xiang Mu raised his eyebrows, he thought that the other party was a business rival who came to inquire about news, but he didn't expect that he came to buy paintings.

"Which one are you talking about?"

Winter Solstice: ""Shaohua Journey Map"."

That painting must not be in his heart for Xiang Mu, or it may be because he has a lot of collections, it took him a while to remember it, but he shook his head.

"Sorry, I don't sell that painting."

Winter Solstice's heart sank, the last thing he wanted to hear was such an answer.

"May I know the reason? If it's a matter of money, I believe I can finally give a figure that I am satisfied with."

The identities of the relevant departments are only considered as a last resort. Now that more and more things have happened, Winter Solstice has become more cautious. He is not sure whether there are traces of enemies hidden among ordinary people. The consequence is that all bets are lost.

Xiang Mu smiled apologetically: "It's not about money, that painting is a relic passed down from my wife's family, so I don't want to sell it."

He was obviously not interested in talking further with Dongzhi, and was about to turn around and walk over after replying, but his expression suddenly changed from calm to surprised.

Ignoring the winter solstice, Xiang Mu enthusiastically walked over to meet the person who was coming in from the other end.

"Master Chen, long time no see, finally waiting for you!"

When Dong Zhi saw the person coming, he almost couldn't control his facial expression, and laughed out loud on the spot.

The one who came was none other than Chen Guoliang, who Liu Qingbo had been "thinking about" all along?

This Master Chen was still dressed in a black mandarin jacket, and he was very imposing. With his assistant bodyguards, Shi Shiran entered the room. At first glance, it was the appearance of the protagonist, which attracted many people's attention.

After Chen Guoliang was released, he didn't have the face to stay in Lucheng any longer. He originally wanted to go back to Xiangjiang and not come to the mainland for a few years.

Coincidentally, at this moment, he received an invitation to attend a reception and auction, to give lectures on Fengshui metaphysics to the distinguished guests, and then there was a private entrustment, which cost a lot of money to appear.Chen Guoliang was moved, he felt that God insisted on making money by himself, and he had no reason to make things difficult for God, anyway, it would not be too late to go back after finishing this vote, so he came here.

Unexpectedly, the enemy's road is narrow, and the world is so coincidental.

His smile froze completely when he saw the person next to Xiang Mu.

Seeing Liu Qingbo approaching from the other end, his smile could no longer be maintained and instantly collapsed.

Liu Qingbo also smirked: "Master Chen, what a coincidence, it's really a world where we don't meet each other, and we are destined to meet thousands of miles away!"

Chen Guoliang reluctantly pulled out a smile that he thought was very calm, and stretched out his hand: "So it's Mr. Liu, Mr. Dong, it really is destined!"

And it's evil fate, he added in his heart.

Liu Qingbo looked at him for a long time with a half-smile, and finally stretched out his hand when Chen Guoliang showed uneasiness.

Chen Guoliang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, quickly took his hand and shook it vigorously twice, and then warmly greeted the winter solstice.

Xiang Mu was very surprised: "It turns out that Master Chen also knows these two?"

"I know, I know!" Chen Guoliang twitched, and complained half-truthfully, "With these two masters around, why invite me over to Boss Xiang, really!"

Xiang Muguo was really surprised. He knew Chen Guoliang's reputation in Xiangjiang. Last time he went to Xiangjiang to discuss business, he was introduced by a rich man surnamed Li, so he got to know Master Chen. This time he was invited to come over for Feng Shui The lecture was only second, and more importantly, he encountered a problem that Chen Guoliang urgently needed to solve.

"Meeting is fate. Three masters. I have prepared a VIP room. Why don't you invite us inside to sit down and talk in detail. The lecture hasn't started yet. I just have a little personal question and I want to ask the three of you."

Maybe he felt embarrassed to reject Dong Zhi before, so he added: "If Mr. Dong wants that painting, in fact, I can't give it to me."

Winter Solstice said: "You don't need to give it away for free, as long as you make a price, we will try our best to raise funds."

Xiang Mu smiled: "I'm not short of money."

The implication is that he does not need to make money by selling paintings at all.

Thinking about the collections in most of the exhibition halls during the winter solstice, I was speechless.

Xiang Mu led them into the VIP reception room. It was indeed much more gorgeous than the outside, and there were many ornaments with a strong personal style. Dong Zhi guessed that this place, including the exhibition hall downstairs, should be his property.

No wonder the price of that painting is not taken seriously. For a rich man like Xiang Mu, even if the painting sells for hundreds of millions, it is just another figure for his property.

But his problems are often not solved by money.So ordinary people look at many rich people and laugh at them. After they are prosperous, they pray to gods and worship Buddha everywhere. In the end, they go to the wrong door and encounter many gods. The truth is that their own desires are too many and complicated, which can be solved with money in the world. The method is no longer suitable for them, and the gods are too vague to give them a quick solution. In the end, they can only turn to the so-called experts and masters for help. If they encounter Chen Guoliang, they will be fooled for a while at most. To Song En or Yamamoto and his ilk, it is estimated that they will not even save their lives.

Xiang Mu didn't have the habit of stating his privacy to strangers. He waited for Chen Guoliang to introduce the origins of Dongzhi and Liu Qingbo, but Chen Guoliang acted a little embarrassed.

The abnormality of the other party made Xiang Mu even more strange. He originally thought that even if Dong Zhi and Liu Qingbo had some skills, it was probably due to Chen Guoliang's humility and flattery, but now it seems that this is not the case.

"Master Chen, would you like to introduce me?" He finally broke the awkward atmosphere.

"The title of master is really unbearable. These two are the real masters and masters. Uh, Mr. Dong and Mr. Liu, I have already introduced them just now. Let them be the main ones today. I will just listen from the sidelines." Already!"

Chen Guoliang's face twitched slightly, he didn't dare to reveal the identities of Dongzhi and the others, in case he upset the other party and made trouble for himself, he could only pray that they would save him some face and not expose himself in front of Xiang Mu.

As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Qingbo showed him a half-smiley expression, which made Chen Guoliang shudder uncontrollably. His heart was on the dividing line between being exposed and not being exposed, and he was so entangled and disturbed that he was on the verge of death penalty.

Compared with Liu Qingbo, the winter solstice still saved Chen Guoliang a little face, or in other words, he has no intention of playing tricks on Chen Guoliang now.

"My name is Dongzhi, and this is Liu Qingbo. We have learned both hands, but the way is not the same as that of Master Chen. If you have any problems, Mr. Xiang, you can tell them, and we will discuss them together."

Hearing him addressing Master Chen, Chen Guoliang secretly heaved a sigh of relief. While being grateful, he hurriedly followed: "Yes, tell me, Mr. Dong and Mr. Liu must have a solution!"

As soon as he said this, Liu Qingbo gave him another blank look. Chen Guoliang was a little confused, and thought to himself, could it be that these two real people were not going to show their faces, but he accidentally exposed their identities?Can't help becoming more and more uneasy.

In fact, with his sense of proportion among the rich and powerful in Xiangjiang, he should not be so preoccupied, but last time he was overwhelmed by Dong Zhi and Liu Qingbo's subduing demonic energy, and then he received several days of ideological education. They are both respectful and in awe. Now they see the winter solstice and they want to take a detour. Who would have thought that Yuanjia's road is narrow, and when he ran to Shencheng, others would also go to Shencheng?

After Chen Guoliang was going back to Xiangjiang, he changed his name as a Fengshui master. From now on, he should keep a low profile, so as not to run into one or two high-level people again.

Xiang Mu exchanged a few words with them, from the calligraphy, painting and writing to the feng shui furnishings here, but he just refused to get into the main topic. Dong Zhi knew that this kind of successful businessman was usually very suspicious. If he didn't solve his doubts, he probably wouldn't follow them The one who confessed, said: "Mr. Xiang, this friend next to me is a descendant of Liu Yongjia, a well-known swordsmanship master in the Republic of China. Maybe you have heard of it. And I am a registered disciple of the Hezao School. Daoist Fang Yangfang of the Hezao Sect, and another master who is not a member of the Hezao Sect, so I won’t mention it.”

Chen Guoliang hurriedly said: "In the past, the Hezao faction was named after Longhu Mountain and Maoshan Mountain. However, it has been kept low-key since modern times. I have seen these two monster-hunters with my own eyes, and I highly respect them in my heart. !"

Compared with Dong Zhi and Liu Qingbo who met for the first time, Xiang Mu is of course more inclined to believe in Chen Guoliang who has already made a great reputation in Xiangjiang.

Winter Solstice did not expect that they would have to rely on Chen Guoliang to prove their identity in turn, and it was a bit ironic for a while.

Sure enough, when Xiang Mu heard this introduction, he suddenly became much more solemn.

"Just now I didn't know Taishan with my eyes. I didn't expect to bump into you by mistake and made you two abrupt. I'm very sorry!" Xiang Mu apologized to them.

Liu Qingbo was a little impatient: "Mr. Xiang, tell me about your business."

Xiang Mu smiled wryly: "Actually, this matter is really strange, and it has something to do with my wife."

It has been almost five years since Xiang Mu's wife passed away. They also have a daughter who is studying abroad. It stands to reason that Xiang Mu looks good, has a rich family, is middle-aged, widowed and has no son. Women must be around, but Xiang Mu is a The exception is that he has a good relationship with his wife. In the past five years, no matter what his friends persuaded him, he did not remarry.

His wife had a bracelet, which was passed down from her natal family. After her death, Xiang Mu kept the bracelet and planned to give it to her daughter when she got married, but the problem was the bracelet.

About a year ago, Xiang Mu began to have a frequent recurring dream. In the dream, he reunited with his late wife, who was still in her prime. The murmurs and murmurs quickly turned into confusion, and when he woke up, the pillow was still cold, and there was no trace of Yi Ren, and he felt lost for a long time.But after that, Xiang Mu began to meet his wife in his dreams from time to time, each time it started with a sexual dream and ended with a sexual dream. That jade bracelet also seemed to become more and more lustrous.

"This bracelet was originally worn by my wife for decades before her death. She never took it off. I wanted to put it in the bank with other things, but every time I saw the bracelet, I couldn't help but think about it. I can’t help but stay, so I put it in the bedroom.”

Speaking of this, Xiang Mu's face showed a trace of embarrassment: "I am not afraid of your jokes when I say it. I am not too old now, and I usually insist on exercising. I am a man with normal needs, but I have never had this kind of dream before. I I once wondered if I had some physical or psychological problems, but the results of the examination were all normal. It’s also because the dream is so beautiful, I seem to have returned to my youth, the time with my wife, as time goes by, it is inevitable that I will become a little addicted.”

All the people present were men, and none of them were ordinary people. Not only did no one expressed the meaning of ridicule, but they all nodded in understanding. Xiang Mu was encouraged, relaxed a little, and continued talking.

Every now and then, Xiang Mu would have erotic dreams, no matter how strong his body is, Ren Xiangmu would inevitably be mentally weak. What's even more strange is that he would occasionally have an extended version of the dream. After his wife was happy with him, she began to cry silently. , no matter how much he asked, he refused to speak, and kept crying until Xiang Mu woke up.

Since then, Xiang Mu's night has basically been trapped in such a dream, unable to extricate himself.

"You still keep the bracelet in the bedroom?" Liu Qingbo couldn't help asking.

Xiang Mu: "Yes."

Liu Qingbo frowned: "So many things have happened, why don't you hurry up and throw away the bracelet and destroy it? Are you still waiting to be drained of energy?"

These words were straightforward enough, and Xiang Mu was a little embarrassed.

"Actually, since my wife passed away, I have been missing her very much, and I have never remarried because of this..."

He didn't say any more, but the implication was already obvious.

Xiang Mu actually enjoys this erotic dream, not to mention that the object of the erotic dream is his wife. On the one hand, he can see his deceased lover in the dream, and on the other hand, he can relive old dreams with his young lover. Among them, knowing that something is wrong, but reluctant to withdraw.

Liu Qingbo rolled his eyes, and after hearing this, he knew that Xiang Mu was unwilling to break the bracelet, and was unwilling to stay away from it. The other party had to go around a lot of things that could be solved easily.

Winter Solstice asked bluntly: "Mr. Xiang, there must be something wrong with your bracelet, but we can't give you an answer until we see the real thing. I want to ask you first, how do you want us to help you?"

Xiang Mu pondered for a moment, and said, "I want to know, is it because my wife's soul is entrusted in that bracelet, entrusting me with dreams?"

Winter Solstice: "If so?"

Xiang Mu showed hesitation, and he hadn't figured out what to do yet.

Winter Solstice said: "Even if it's your wife's soul, human beings and ghosts have different paths, if this continues, it will not be good for you or her. She sucks your energy every night to nourish the ghost, and she will definitely not be willing to be trapped in a bracelet. Maybe they want to take your body away."

Xiang Mu laughed in horror: "This is impossible, she was very kind when she was alive!"

Liu Qingbo said: "There is nothing impossible. After death, everything disappears. If she misses the world and refuses to die, her temperament will definitely change. If she is really thinking about you, why would she be willing to suck you every night? Essence?"

Chen Guoliang also said: "Mr. Xiang, people cannot be resurrected after death. Human beings have human ways, ghosts have ghost gates, and the three realms and six realms have their own rules. If the rules are broken, your wife may be delayed in the end."

Xiang Mu sighed: "Can this be done? After the auction, I'll take you to my house first to see the bracelet. If possible, please help persuade my wife to let her go to reincarnation with peace of mind as soon as possible!"

Dong Zhi and Liu Qingbo looked at each other. The purpose of their trip was the painting, so naturally they had to help Xiang Mu solve the trouble first.

"can."

"Then I will trouble you!" Xiang Mu was very grateful.
