Old Fogey Goes Down The Mountain

Seeing the car start, Wei Xi turned around and called out: "Jieyi!"

The big apprentice hasn't come up yet.

Shuo Zong on the side silently closed the car window to block his view, and said calmly: "There is no room in the car, they will take a taxi to catch up."

Hearing this sentence, the driver in front couldn't help casting his gaze in the rearview mirror, wanting to say that there is still an empty seat for the co-pilot.

But Shuo Zong turned a blind eye to this. After saying this, he glanced at his mobile phone. There have been countless messages from Xia Shouren on it. He knew that they were all insulting. He unlocked and swiped around, but he didn't see the transfer. sign, turned it into mute and threw it to the side.

Wei Xi stopped worrying when he heard that the senior apprentice could take a taxi by himself. He glanced sideways, and Shuo Zong was looking at him quietly with his forehead resting on one arm.

When their eyes collided, Wei Xi was slightly taken aback. He always felt that the other party's silent demeanor was very familiar. In the past, the second apprentice seemed to be like this when he was silent: "Why do you..."

As soon as he opened his mouth, he heard the voice of the driver in front of him: "Mr. Shuo Zong, where are we going now?"

Shuo Zong stared at Wei Xi and asked, "What did you want to say just now?"

Wei Xi groaned, frowned and thought: "I can't remember."

Shuo Zong almost died of anger, and said to the driver with a dark face: "Go to the company. Also, don't talk."

The driver was a little curious about who the stranger next to him who got into the car with him was, but when he found that the boss seemed to be in a bad mood, he immediately shut his mouth, wondering in his heart that he was fine when he first got into the car, why did he suddenly get angry again?

The car fell into a deathly silence, Wei Xi felt a little bored, took out his mobile phone and sent a WeChat message to the second apprentice: "I'm back to the capital."

The mobile phone that Shuo Zong had dropped near him just now turned on the screen. Wei Xi glanced subconsciously. It was a message from WeChat. He found that Shuo Zong was also noticing it, but he didn't move.

Wei Xi didn't wait for the second apprentice's reply, and was playing with unlocking and unlocking the screen, when he saw this, he reminded him: "Someone sent you a message."

Shuo Zong looked at him, seemed to hesitate for a moment, but finally asked, "Who sent it?"

While he was waiting, Wei Xi directly frowned and dialed the mobile phone in his direction: "How do I know, can't you read it yourself?"

He had never been a curious person, and had no interest in the privacy of unrelated people.

Shuo Zong: "..."

Wei Xi found that Shuo Zong's breathing sound seemed to have become deeper, as if he had suffered a very heavy blow.

Too bad he didn't care about that.

*****

Wei Xi originally thought that the company the other party was going to was his sect, but after the car stopped, he realized that the "company" the other party was talking about seemed to have nothing to do with him.In the middle of the busy CBD business district during rush hour, there are towering office buildings clustered in the sky. Weixi glanced at the strange and huge company name outside the car window, and said reluctantly: "Queer didn't reply to me. The information may also be in the capital, and I want to go back."

Shuo Zong, who was about to get off the car, glanced at him angrily: "Don't worry, your apprentice can't be at home. The reason why he didn't reply to the message may be because he was mad at you."

Wei Xi: "?"

Shuo Zong got out of the car and took two deep breaths, then reached out and pulled him: "Come down, accompany me to register Qinglong's information."

He seemed to be a little angry, but the strength in his hands was not heavy. After Wei Xi got out of the car, he couldn't stand still and was supported on his back. What's more, there is the blazing heat on the back.

The man's jaw line was tense, his Adam's apple protruded sharply, and he looked down at him, his gaze was steady and unwavering, and the shadow cast by his eyelashes moved slightly.

Wei Xi was in a daze for a moment, feeling as if a familiar picture had appeared in the fragments of his memory, but he didn't know what kind of scene it was in.

The car door closed with a bang, and then Xia Shouren cursed aggrievedly: "Bastard, return all the money I sent you before!"

The gaze that was staring at him quietly turned away, and Wei Xi heard the person in front of him speak nonchalantly and said to Xia Shouren who was rushing forward: "I think you want to die."

Xia Shouren thought of his friend's thunderous point, so he faltered for a moment, suffocating in place for a long time, his eyes glanced at Wei Xi and his buddies from time to time, and after a long while he could only say angrily: "Chongming, you pay for the car!"

Chongming: "...Why? Aren't you the leader?"

Xia Shouren's eye sockets secreted crystal liquid: "For this action of letting him go to Haishi together, I have already emptied all my savings."

He felt that he might be the worst leader in the entire company, and also the worst beast in the world, bar none.

Chongming gave the money with a long sigh, hesitated to speak, and finally couldn't help but said: "Actually, I have always wanted to know why there is such a big difference in strength between you, Mr. Xia, and Mr. Shuo Zong, who were also born in the prehistoric times. "

Xia Shouren's hair almost exploded when he heard this: "There's no difference, there is no difference in strength between me and him, okay? Is there a reason why people in today's modern society are too worshiping money and too utilitarian? People nowadays want money like crazy Now, which boss doesn’t have a statue of him in his house? Some people have to pour the first dish to him when they drink tea. Look, who has enshrined me? Don’t talk about me, look at yourself, you are also a god bird , who in our company got as many offerings as those awesome pretenders from the ancient times?"

Hearing this, Chongming's suspicion disappeared, and he still had the urge to cry: "What you said is so reasonable, in the new era of socialism, no one can beat Mr. Shuo Zong!"

*****

In the huge office building, the employees who left after work were bustling with each other. When they bumped into Shuo Zong who brought Wei Xi in, they all nodded their heads and said hello, seeing Unity Yi Wuwu enviously: "Master, when will our Taicang Zong get to this point? To build such a large-scale office building in the city center is really a mess."

Wei Xi also sympathized with this very much. Since he came down the mountain, he has been longing for these tall buildings outside, but unfortunately the land price in the capital is too expensive, and his financial strength is not enough, so longing is just yearning.

In the past, he always listened to Wei Dedao's bragging, saying that the Taicang Sect used to be famous in the practice world, with strong incense and countless disciples. The most frequent mentions were the two fairy mountains under his sect.According to Wei Dedao's bragging, there are twelve peaks in those two fairy mountains. The peaks and peaks are steep and unprecedented in scale, so that other sects in the practice world are all in awe and envy.

Whether this history is true or not is another matter. At the beginning, Wei Xi was really bluffed into looking forward to it, thinking that it was such an amazing wealth.

Now that he has come out to see the world, he realizes that Wei Dedao is a typical countryman who has no experience.What about the famous Dazong sect, with such a vision, he thought that having two mountains was something so awesome, and the whole practice world was in awe and envy——No matter how awesome the fairy mountains are, how can there be awesome office buildings in the capital?Later, he made a special trip to check the land prices in the nearby mountainous areas. Because most of the undeveloped mountainous areas are located in remote areas, the housing prices there are basically only a tenth of that in the capital, and the prices of the forests are even lower. At best, the contract fee will be five to sixty thousand in one year.Two fairy mountains, twelve mountain peaks, so many contracts, plus the extended period, the local government might give a discount on the price, and it will cost less than 100 million for a year.

But it is absolutely impossible to rent such a large office building in the center of Beijing for 100 million yuan.

Therefore, the more he understands the market economy, the more Wei Xi sympathizes with Wei Dedao. He always feels that Wei Dedao is really pitiful, so short-sighted that he can't even boast.

If it were him to blow the bullshit, he would definitely have to tell people that Taicangzong has more than two floors of office areas in the second ring road of the capital. This is not more reliable than some shit fairy mountain?

Wei Xi shook his head, feeling more and more heavy responsibilities on his shoulders, the big apprentice was right, when will the disciples of the Taicang Sect be allowed to sneak into the office building to practice.

Xia Shouren instinctively felt a little cold, rubbed his arms and said to Chongming: "I seem to have detected some bad omens."

He was born with the ability to predict, and Chongming also knew it, and his expression immediately became serious: "Is there any specific omen content? Is there another disaster about to happen somewhere?"

Xia Shouren calculated for a long time, but he could only figure out that this seemed to be a great change in the world of practice.

But didn't the world of practice die long ago?

He couldn't figure it out, and in the end he could only shake his head with a bitter face: "Forget it, after the collapse of heaven, my ability will be greatly reduced. This time I must have miscalculated again."

******

Most of the company was emptied, but there were unexpectedly many people left on the top floor. Even though it was off-duty time, they seemed to be very busy, and they shuttled back and forth in the office area with solemn expressions.

Wei Xi vaguely heard their voices——

"Where did the new mail come from? What is it? Water Conservancy Bureau? The water level of the Wushan Reservoir has skyrocketed? Threats to the downstream villages? It doesn't seem to have rained there recently. What's going on?"

"Some local residents took pictures of strange monkeys appearing near the reservoir. Here, look, this is a photo."

"Fuck, Changyou, the picture is quite clear. This **** is not dead yet, and it came out of nowhere, which can really add to the chaos."

"Hey, which one of you is free, go on a business trip to the Wushan Reservoir in Liyun City? Report the trip to a five-star hotel."

Wei Xi: "Long right?"

Shuo Zong stepped out of the elevator behind him, and said in a calm tone: "A monkey-shaped water monster, if it appears, it will cause a flood."

The employees on the top floor were very different from the ones who had just left after work. When they saw Shuo Zong who followed Wei Xi out of the elevator, there was no fear and nervousness on his face. They just greeted very casually: "Mr. Shuo Zong, Lao Xia , Chongming, have you guys come back from Iuhai City? How is the green dragon handled? Can you come to work? There have been accidents everywhere at the end of the year, there were earthquakes and floods, and the brothers are almost overwhelmed."

Xia Shouren shook his head: "Just Jackie Chan, he hasn't transformed yet."

The red-haired man who spoke said regretfully: "The Dragon Clan is really useless."

Also has red hair, this person's hair color is brighter than Chong Ming's, the fiery red color is even mixed with a little golden glow, looking from a distance, it looks like a burning flame.

Xia Shouren thought so deeply, and asked again, "Bi Fang, why are you in such a hurry?"

Bi Fang let out an oh, pressed the down button of the elevator, then stepped into the elevator, stretched out his hand and covered the black area under the button that seemed to be an intercom device: "Wuhua is in a drought, Lao Qing went on a business trip and came back with a nest of fat Yi, it's locked downstairs, I'll go and see it."

There was a small gleam of light in that area suddenly, followed by a beep, and a metal plate at the bottom of the floor key slowly slid down.

Below the lowest negative fourth floor, there are more than a dozen more options.

After Bi Fang left, Xia Shouren showed a surprised expression: "It's because of Fei Yi? I haven't seen this thing for hundreds of years."

Wei Xi: "Fat Yi?"

Xia Shouren looked at him and felt that he had won: "You don't even know this? Are you too ignorant? A snake with one head and two bodies can cause severe drought."

Wei Xi was thoughtful: "Is it to protect animals?"

Xia Shouren: "...No."

But it is much rarer than protected animals.

Wei Xi: "Can I eat that?"

Xia Shouren: "..."

No one would eat this kind of thing...?

Shuo Zong put the information on the table, glanced back at him, but said indifferently: "Of course."

Xia Shouren: "???"

Shuo Zong: "And the taste should be good."

Xia Shouren: "..."

Shuo Zong: "Do you want to eat?"

Wei Xi walked towards him unsuspectingly: "Yes."

"Xia Shouren." Shouted Shuo Zong, "Go to the twentieth floor and ask Bi Fang to pick a fat bag and send it to my house."

Xia Shouren: "???"

The author has something to say: Xia Shouren: "I suspect my brother's species has changed."
