Tonight's reception banquet looks lively and calm on the surface, but behind it there are undercurrents and treacherous waves.
In Jianghai, a city full of games and fights, it shows the charm of being tolerant enough to be able to achieve nirvana, and it can naturally hide dirt and evil. It is this tolerance that has made Jianghai what it is today.
Today's rivers and seas, all kinds of powerful people and forces, good and evil, ugliness and greed, are all vividly reflected here tonight.
Fang Hongxing is now possessed by the Yellow Immortal. Although he intends to retreat to the second line and no longer interfere in the affairs of the Fangxing Group, no one will refuse to give him face due to his dominance in the past and his prestige in the world for many years.
Liu Xian, who is possessed by Zhuo Tingguan, is a newcomer in Jianghai and an outsider. Naturally, he does not have the authority of Fang Hongxing, but he is able to establish a foothold in Jianghai in a short period of time, which shows that he is indeed outstanding.
In the world of Jianghai, the richer the people, the more superstitious they are, and the more powerful they are, the more they believe in ghosts and gods.
Therefore, Yixue in Jianghai can be said to be blooming everywhere, and the Yixue Association came into being and was highly sought after and enthusiastic by the powerful in Jianghai.
Xu Maochun was possessed by the Gray Fairy and appeared as a member of the Yixue Association. Naturally, no one would be left out.
Although Lin Acan is possessed by Bai Xian, he is the protagonist today and the leader of Lin's entertainment. Naturally, no one dares to neglect him.
The four people knew the basics, secretly communicated, and worked together to put on a good show.
Tonight is not so much a luxurious feast as it is an organized and premeditated gathering of the 'Five Immortal Guards'.
The reason why the 'Five Immortal Guards' made such a big fuss was naturally because they wanted to take this opportunity to change the situation and make a strong comeback.
I thought I could deceive others, but I underestimated Yu Huo's abilities.
Although these evil spirits are hidden deep enough, ordinary people cannot see through their hidden identities.
Yu Huo was of the corpse-stitching lineage, and he was also a half-dead person walking in yin and yang. He could clearly tell whether the people in front of him were humans or ghosts.
As a corpse stitcher, it is Yu Huo's duty to slay demons, so how can he tolerate these evil spirits hidden among the crowd and do whatever they want?
But Yu Huo showed extraordinarily calmness and did not reveal the masks of these evil spirits on the spot.
Yu Huo behaves calmly and shows everyone's demeanor. This is the biggest change he has made.
As a descendant of the corpse-stitching lineage, he should have been at odds with ghosts, but due to a twist of fate, he became a "ghost" and had no choice but to associate with ghosts. This is a huge irony.
Humans and ghosts have different paths, and worldly perspectives make Yu Huo's half-human, half-ghost identity awkward and even heartless.
But now that it has become a fact, Yu Huo has to accept this reality. He tries to accept himself, and at the same time he is accepting these evil spirits in front of him.
Yu Huo's current identity is Wu Ya, and he is a man who lives in the world. Paying homage to the Yixue Association is naturally an indispensable ceremony. Then he came to Xu Maochun, raised his glass, and said politely: "President Xu, Wu I'm here for the first time in Ya. I'm just trying to make ends meet, so I'll check you in. I hope President Xu can take care of me in the future."
Although Xu Maochun is no longer the Xu Maochun before, things and people have changed, but his identity has not changed. Naturally, he needs to show the attitude of the president of the association, pretending to be profound: "It's easy to talk, I think Mr. Wu is young, but Being willing to devote your youth and blood to the inheritance of Chinese culture has allowed the association to see the attitudes of young people, and it has also given hope to the future development of Chinese studies. Do your best, and I only support you in the name of the agreement."
Xu Maochun's pretentiousness showed his flaw. Although he didn't know the origin of this evil spirit, he was at least certain that this evil spirit came from the abandoned nest, or from outside the abandoned nest territory.
Yu Huo unexpectedly discovered that the evil spirit possessing people in front of him was not only not afraid of light, but could also drink alcohol. How did he do this?
It is said that the evil spirits who are exiled outside the Lost Nest territory cannot change their status as "ghosts" after all. As "ghosts", they are naturally afraid of light, fire, and spells.
However, not only is the evil spirit in the form of Xu Maochun not afraid of light, Fang Hongxing, Zhuo Tingguan, and Lin Acan can also be free under the sun and do whatever they want, which is simply incredible.
Could it be that they found some way to break the curse of "Gui Ji" being afraid of light?
Soon Yu Huo discovered the clues. It turned out that the goblets held by Xu Maochun and the others were not filled with red wine, but human blood.
The smell of human blood can attract people's attention, and they improved it by adding some grape juice, kumquat and other auxiliary ingredients. With rock sugar and ice cubes, the smell of blood from the wine glass can be completely covered up.
At present, the origin of these fresh human blood is unknown. Where did this large amount of human blood come from? Have any innocent lives died as a result? None of this is known.
But what is certain is that constantly sucking human blood can change the discomfort caused by the 'ghost' status. If things go on like this, the curse of being afraid of light will eventually be broken.
Obviously, Xu Maochun, Fang Hongxing, Zhuo Tingguan, and Lin Acan, the four of them, the skin they are now possessing, has successfully achieved the ability to not be afraid of strong light, and can act like normal people, day and night, Move freely among the crowd.
Yu Huo drank one cup, and Xu Maochun drank one cup, but Yu Huo drank wine, while Xu Maochun drank blood.
Zhuo Tingguan on the side seemed to have some opinions about Yu Huo. He picked up the wine glass in his hand, smiled at Yu Huo and said: "Like President Xu, can you pinch and count?"
"Just a casual meal, Mr. Zhuo."
Yu Huo didn't know Zhuo Tingguan's purpose of approaching him intentionally, but it was obvious that he was looking for trouble.
"Then you can help me calculate. Can the stock I buy tomorrow reach its daily limit?"
Seeing that Zhuo Tingguan was messing around, Xu Maochun wanted to stop him, but he secretly thought that Yu Huo was just trying to make ends meet. As a Feng Shui master, when faced with such a test question, he should show appropriate countermeasures no matter what. It’s time to test Yu Huo’s level.
"I don't know, Mr. Zhuo, which word do you want to test?"
As a direct descendant of the corpse-stitching lineage, Yu Huo is not a trickster in the world, but a real person.
Bagua test, this kind of pediatric trick, is just a basic skill for getting started. Faced with Zhuo Tingguan's provocation, there is no reason not to play with him.
In addition to drinking tea, Zhuo Tingguan likes fishing, especially wild fishing. When he saw a fish taking the bait, he immediately became excited, shrugged his shoulders, and then said: "Then I will test the word fish."
"The word fish, Mr. Zhuo, is really good at choosing. They say that making small money depends on technology, making medium money depends on psychology, and making big money depends on pattern. Mr. Zhuo's pattern is so grand!"
When Yu Huo said nonsense, Zhuo Tingguan became more energetic and asked fiercely: "You mean, I'm going to make a fortune?"
Unexpectedly, Yu Huo shook his head and said: "Small gambling is pleasant, but big gambling is harmful to the body. What Mr. Zhuo is asking for is a fish, leaping over the dragon's gate. What matters is grasping the buying and selling points. Judging from the situation tomorrow, I It is recommended that Mr. Zhuo sell the stocks he holds as soon as possible."
The reason why Yu Huo said this was naturally because he had some understanding and judgment of the stock market.
The principle of fish leaping over the gantry is actually to use the Pingyang line as a springboard to take off. Of course, there is a washout between the two Yang lines. Only after going through twists and turns can the jump be successful, and the key point of taking off is a Yang line as the signal.
This gameplay is relatively safe, so investors can explore the main operation intention and direction based on the trend of this tactic. Moreover, the buying point of this gameplay is relatively clear, and the safety technology is relatively high. Once the point is stepped on, Then there will be objective benefits.
But grasping the buying and selling points of this 'gantry', buying and selling, is as exciting as a fish leaping over the dragon's gate, which is enjoyable.
"this……"
Yu Huo asked him to sell the stocks in his hands lightly, which seemed like a slap in the face to Zhuo Tingguan, an old stock investor. Just when he was about to continue his attack, Fang Hongxing stopped him and said with a smile: "Zhuo Tingguan" Boss, just think of buying stocks as a game, why bother competing with a charlatan? Tomorrow our Franchise Group stock will definitely rise sharply, do you want to buy it with me?"
"Mr. Fang, it's true that Franshion Group's stocks are not as strong as our Lin's Entertainment stocks? When I came back, the stocks were soaring."
Lin Acan also followed suit, just to deceive others and make everyone present turn their attention to the stock.
Yu Huo's performance just now was quite satisfactory and did not meet Xu Maochun's ideal answer, but at least it passed the passing mark. There is no doubt about this.
However, Xu Maochun naturally knew that Zhuo Tingguan was deliberately looking for trouble, so he said instead: "Boss Zhuo, please don't embarrass this young man. A-chan, didn't you just get some cigars? Don't you plan to give them to me?" How about we old smokers try something new?"
Xu Maochun was looking for an excuse to change the scene. How could Lin Acan not know this and said understandingly: "By the way, if President Xu hadn't reminded me, I almost forgot about this. The new product just arrived, Mr. Fang, Mr. Zhuo, please give me a private room."
The four people greeted the guests in the hall one after another, exchanged pleasantries, and then turned and entered the private room.
Although the four people had the intention of diverting the attention of the public, they could not escape Yu Huo's professional sense. He had already guessed that these four people suddenly came back. To be precise, they were all resurrected from the dead, and the reason behind them must be related to the "Five Immortal Guards".
But due to the lack of direct evidence, Yu Huo couldn't draw a conclusion, let alone tear off their mask in public.
Yu Huo turned around and came to the place where the four of them were dining. He picked up the wine glass and smelled it. In addition to some grape juice mixed with it, the smell of blood could clearly be felt.
While Yu Huo was thinking about it, the waiter on the side came up to him alertly and said to Yu Huo with a smile on his face: "Sir, do you want to drink?"
Yu Huo put down the goblet filled with the smell of blood and asked, "I want to drink the wine that this boss drank, do you have it here?"
"Oh, sir, these wines were prepared by Brother Achan himself. He said he was going to entertain distinguished guests, so they have not passed through my hands. However, I have champagne and Lafite here. Do you want to..."
"No."
Yu Huo waved his hand and said thank you. From the waiter's mouth, Yu Huo got the answer. It was obvious that human blood mixed with grape juice was the bait for these evil spirits.
As for the origin of these baits, whether they are for the right reasons or are nosy, there is no reason for Yu Huo to turn a deaf ear and sit idly by.
