It was daytime when Wang Kunlun and the others arrived at Fifth Avenue, while Xiang Que and Wang Xuanzhen arrived at Hong Kong Island in the middle of the night.
The prosperity of Hong Kong Island decades ago reflected the backwardness of the Mainland. However, decades apart, the two places are basically indistinguishable when compared. Hong Kong Island also has several first-tier cities in the Mainland.
Even with the development of mainland China, it has the momentum to catch up with Hong Kong Island.
After getting off the container truck and stepping on the land of Hong Kong Island, as Wang Xuanzhen said, Xiang Que immediately felt the strong smell 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 huge 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 capital cities
The sky above is filled with Hongmeng purple energy, which is a sign that it has become a capital of the past or is now. Since Hong Kong Island has a developed economy, it naturally means rich wealth, so it is much easier to make money here than other places.
Reasonable.
Domestically, cities in the northwest and northeast have been clamoring for the revitalization of the northwest and the development of old industrial bases over the years. However, efforts have been made over the past few years with great intensity, but these two places just cannot develop.
It’s not that the people and the government here are not good enough, it’s that the wealth is too weak and if you don’t gather money, then naturally you won’t gather popularity. If you don’t have people and money, you have nothing, so what can you do to develop?
.
After getting off the container truck, the two of them checked into a nearby hotel. It was already midnight and nothing they wanted to do was suitable. They could only wait until tomorrow.
There was no conversation all night, and in the early morning of the next day, Wang Xuanzhen dialed his uncle's phone number in front of the hotel window.
"Uncle, let's get up"
"The person you are going to meet also knows his identity and knows some etiquette. Don't let people say that I, a junior member of the Wang family, am ignorant," Uncle Wang Xuanzhen warned carefully on the phone.
"I understand this measure."
"As long as you understand, that's enough. I'll call him and make an appointment. You can rush over when it's convenient for you."
After hanging up the phone, Wang Xuanzhen sat on Xiang Que's bedside, took out a cigarette and stuffed it into his mouth.
"Is something wrong?" Xiang Que said, holding a cigarette in his mouth and holding the shit in his eyes.
"Pa" Wang Xuanzhen took the initiative to order him, and then said: "We have to meet a big shot later. On Hong Kong Island, you may not be able to handle some things if you go to the government, the police, or the society, but it will definitely be easier to go to him, because this
A person on Hong Kong Island is like a flag, which is equivalent to a symbol of this city. You say you can't be empty-handed when you see such a person? Although he may not care about anything, we still have to be considerate."
Xiang Que smoked a cigarette and sighed, "You have to get a meeting 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 to the elder. Naturally, I have nothing to offer, so you have to do this.
"
"It should, it should. After all, are you running errands for me?" Xiang Que pointed to his torn canvas bag and said, "Go get it for me. There are useful things in it."
"This man is rich and powerful. No matter how valuable you give him, it might just be a pile of dirt in his eyes, so you have to take it by surprise." Wang Kunlun handed Xiang Que's canvas bag to him.
It's been more than half a year since he came out. In the end, Xiang Que only had the magic whip, the Tai Chi diagram and the half iron sword left in his bag. He had squandered all the things he had brought with him when he went down the mountain, but last time Xiang Que went back to the ancient well.
After the observation, as the old Taoist left, his uncle was in the underworld, and his senior brother was no longer here, so he went to observe the sky in Gujing Temple. When he went down the mountain, he brought out all the things he could bring from the temple, including quite a few.
Something you can get your hands on.
Xiang Que took out a fist-sized gourd from his bag, with a red rope tied in the middle. The texture of the gourd was very old and the original color on it had fallen off. When Wang Xuanzhen took it in his hand, it obviously felt rough and it was shaking slightly.
At that time, there was a slight clattering sound coming from inside. This thing looked very inconspicuous, and it might have been crushed by someone if it was thrown on the road.
"The gourd that gathers wealth? If it is a magic weapon, it is a good thing, but it doesn't look like it. It is relatively rare and you won't give it away casually." Wang Xuanzhen looked at the gourd in his hand and asked in confusion.
road.
"There are too many gourds for gathering wealth, so it is not noticeable when taken out. However, this gourd does not gather wealth. It is inconspicuous and has no effect. The important thing is the water in the gourd's belly."
"What the hell?" Wang Xuanzhen shook it again, and there was a slight clattering sound inside.
"When you send him out, ask him to hang this gourd on his body. Don't dare to tell him if there are more. I can guarantee that he will live for five more years."
"Oh, you're kidding me." Wang Xuanzhen was startled, and his hands suddenly felt a little heavy.
A five-year life span may sound very inconspicuous at first glance. To young people in their twenties and thirties, five years is just a blink of an eye, because young people can spend many five years in the second half of their lives.
But if you are an old man in his 70s or 80s, and you tell him to live for five more years, he will probably be able to give you all his life savings, because they have all lived by counting the days on their fingers, and suddenly they can live for five more years.
It's obviously incredible.
The man Wang Xuanzhen and Xiang Que were going to meet was over seventy years old, and he was still in control of the family business and had never retired. His words had been in the press in recent years.
"If I were given five years, I could build a huge business empire or take my company to the next level. Unfortunately, I don't have much time. I'm old."
It is conceivable that if the gourd in Wang Xuanzhen's hand was given away, what would it mean to the other party to live for five more years.
"The gourd contains the Styx water from the underworld, which can absorb a wisp of death energy from a person. If that person wears it on his body for many years, the death energy will be reduced by a few points when he gets older, and it can help him regain his five years of life.
years of life”
Wang Xuanzhen played with the gourd in his hand in surprise 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 upper world?"
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 Styx."
Lao in birth, old age, illness and death refers to death as a person ages. As a person ages, his vitality gradually disappears and his dead energy slowly emerges. After a long time, when all the vitality in his body is replaced by the dead energy, he is a normal person who dies of old age.
, then if the life energy is drawn out when a person is getting older, the time of death will naturally be delayed a little.
