"Mr. Shu, I apologize. I should have gone to pick him up in person today, but there are so many guests at home that I really can't get away!"

Du Wenqiang walked across the lawn and greeted Shu Guan with a big smile.

Then he stared at his personal bodyguard who had just come in with a slightly reproachful look and said:

"Why don't you come in quickly and report? When a distinguished guest like Mr. Shu comes, I will definitely go to the gate to pick him up."

"Master Du, you don't have to be so polite, and there is no need to blame your subordinates."

Shu Guan said with a smile.

Since he was a guest at someone else's house, he no longer acted like a distant and indifferent superior. His smile at this time was no different from that of an ordinary and gentle young man.

This subtle change in mood and posture also quietly affected Du Wenqiang, and then Du Wenqiang seemed to be unaware of it. He smiled and took Shu Guan's arm and said:

"Come on, Mr. Shu, let's go in!"

A few days ago, he would never have made such an affectionate move towards Shu Guan.

But now, he did it naturally.

Shu Guan did not deliberately avoid it and allowed Du Wenqiang to hold his arm and walk forward.

At this time, the guests who saw this scene were still in a dazed state, and as more and more guests noticed what happened on the lawn, the originally bustling hall became quiet.

Everyone was thinking about a question at this time.

That is...who is this young man?

In Shencheng today, with Du Wenqiang's current status, there are definitely not many people who can welcome him in person. Moreover, everyone knows that Du Wenqiang's legs and feet are not good. Even if Du Wenqiang grows up in Shencheng, Du Wenqiang will not be able to stand up from the stairs. Walking up and down to greet each other is already considered a great honor.

Not to mention walking across a lawn to greet it!

Moreover, Du Wenqiang spoke loudly, and many people heard what Du Wenqiang said to the young man just now, which was extremely polite.

For a moment, everyone looked at the plain-looking young man in a long gown with doubts in their hearts.

Du Wenqiang took Shu Guan's arm and walked across the lawn to the steps of the hall.

The beautiful woman with first-class appearance and temperament finally came to her senses and walked down the steps with a smile.

But in her heart, she also had deep doubts like everyone else.

Of course, this woman knew more about the young man's identity than others.

When Du Wenqiang asked her to prepare for today's dinner the day before yesterday, he said that there would be an important guest at today's dinner.

At that time, she asked Du Wenqiang who was here, and Du Wenqiang said that he was a gentleman who could tell fortunes and read Feng Shui.

This answer made her stunned for a long time.

fortune teller?

What kind of fortune teller could make Du Wenqiang take him so seriously?

Du Wenqiang just said that the fortune teller was a man of real ability.

Now, this extremely beautiful woman finally met the fortune teller Du Wenqiang talked about. She didn't know whether this young man had any real ability, but Du Wenqiang still paid more attention to this young man than she expected.

But since Du Wenqiang values ​​this young man so much, she must take him seriously.

A smile appeared on the woman's face, she walked down the steps, and said to the young man politely and cordially:

"It turns out that this is Mr. Shu, whom Wen Qiang has been talking about these past few days. He is really a talented person."

Shu glanced at the woman and saw that she was twenty-seven or eighty years old. She had a beautiful and refined face, with a bit of heroism between her eyebrows. She was slender and slim, with a kind of erectness that was difficult for ordinary women to achieve. posture.

At this time, Du Wenqiang let go of Shu Guan's arm, took the beautiful woman's delicate hand, and introduced Shu Guan with a smile:

"This is Meng Linghui, a famous Liyuan master, and also my confidante, Mr. Du."

So Shu Guan also smiled and greeted the woman.

"Shu Xingyun has met Mr. Meng."

He has also heard of this woman's name, and he had already heard of it when he was in Jingcheng a few years ago.

As for the reason why he heard about it, it was naturally because he had a theater fan, the Sixth Brother. The Sangli people’s favorite opera actress was Jin Sufang, and the Meng Linghui in front of him was as famous as Jin Sufang and was known as Beijin Nanmeng.

The legendary emotional experience between Meng Linghui and Du Wenqiang is also well-known to everyone in Shanghai. From time to time, it will appear in some gossip tabloids. Shu Guan has seen several articles about this during this time. An article about the emotional entanglement between the two.

After introducing Shu Guan to Meng Linghui, Du Wenqiang motioned for Shu Guan to walk into the hall with him.

The moment he walked in, Shu Guan felt a slight chill wrapping around his body. It was like two completely different worlds from the hot summer evening outside the hall, as if he had gone from summer to autumn in one step.

At this moment, my heart was filled with ups and downs, and I even had the urge to cry.

After so many years, I finally have air conditioning again!

In the hall, everything looks so extremely luxurious.

A huge crystal chandelier hangs from the roof of the hall that hollows out the entire second floor. The floor is paved with gorgeous glazed tiles. The surrounding walls are covered with famous oil paintings, velvet-covered sofas, and all the stairs leading to the second floor. It is all made of teak wood, which exudes elegance and sophistication everywhere.

Everything in this hall has the most luxurious and top-notch aesthetics and taste of this era.

In the front of the hall, another band is playing soothing jazz. In the hall, there are graceful girls in cheongsam or elegant gentlemen in neat suits. They were originally dancing to the music, but at this time they all stopped. , both looked at Du Wenqiang and Shu Guan at the entrance of the hall.

Du Wenqiang raised his hand to signal to the band opposite, asking them to stop playing music. Then he glanced at the guests in the hall, laughed loudly, and said to everyone:

"Mr. Du invites you all to come today. Firstly, because Du has encountered several happy events in the past few days. I want everyone to know that Mr. Du's words are still effective in Shanghai."

"As for another thing, Du wants to introduce a capable expert to everyone today. This expert is Mr. Shu Xingyunshu next to me."



Li family manor.

In the room where Li Tiansheng's body was located, in addition to Li Changqing, Monk Huaiyue, and Ye Fan, there were now two more people.

One is a thin young man who is full of bookishness, and the other is a charming woman wearing a gorgeous batik pleated skirt, with a curvy figure, and her whole body is filled with wild vitality.

The four major immortal species of the Seven Immortals Alliance in Shen City are now gathered in this room.

"Junior Brother Xi Chu, have you discovered anything over there?"

Li Changqing first asked the thin young man this question.

The Confucian immortal named Xi Chu shook his head and said:

"Other than the certainty that it was done by a practitioner, there is no discovery."

So Li Changqing turned to the extremely charming and sexy young woman and said:

"Junior Sister Muchisang, where are you?"

Mu Chisang, an immortal from the Moyun Sect in southern Xinjiang, turned his eyes with enchanting eyes and chuckled a few times. However, he did not speak directly. Instead, he took out a colorful, palm-sized sachet from his arms. He untied the tether and whistled.

Then, from the sachet, a three-inch long, white and plump little insect that looked like a silkworm but not a silkworm crawled out.

Mu Chisang opened his palm, and the cute little insect, which looked like transparent white jade, squirmed and crawled onto Mu Chisang's slightly dark but extremely delicate palm.

Li Changqing raised his eyebrows, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"Junior Sister Muchisang, could this thing be the legendary Time Sand Worm?"

Mu Chisang smiled and nodded:

"Yes, it is the Time Sand Worm. This insect was bred in the Time Sand Valley in southern Xinjiang. Only in that mysterious valley in the world can such extremely magical creatures exist. Only true immortals can safely enter that valley. , find the sand of time that can hatch into adult insects, and turn the sand into an insect."

"When I first joined the religion, I was given a precious Sand of Time by the leader. It took me ten years to feed it with my own spiritual power day and night, and then I finally turned it into a worm from the sand."

"And now this time sandworm can make everything that happened in the past ten hours in a radius of ten meters be reproduced before our eyes without missing a beat."

Mu Chisang explained to everyone in the room the miraculous nature of the white insect in her palm. The various methods of their Moyun Sect were mostly inherited from the witchcraft of ancient times. Among them, the most important Tao method is The imperial envoy cultivates various insect poison techniques.

Her Chinese sounds a little strange, not that it is hard to understand, but there is a strange rhythm between the words, as clear and sweet as the chirping of a lark in the mountains.

After saying that, Mchisang stretched out a spring-onion-like finger and scratched the sandworm a few times.

But the other three immortals in the room all felt the violent spiritual energy fluctuations between her fingers at the same time.

And the fat white sandworm, under the disturbance of Mu Chisang's fingers, twisted its whole body a few times as if it was really ticklish, and then it didn't know whether it was the tail or the end of the head, suddenly stood up. , a small hole not much bigger than the pillow eye appeared on it.

Then the sandworm's fat body suddenly shrank and expanded, as if something was sucked into the body by the sandworm and then spit out.

The next moment, everyone in the room, including the other three immortals in the Nascent Soul Realm, all felt a blur in front of their eyes, and then the scene in the room suddenly changed.

"Junior Sister Muchisang, can you please stop looking at these..."

Then Li Changqing's voice sounded faintly.

Monk Huaiyue had already closed his eyes immediately, whispered the Buddha's name, and muttered "sin, sin, sin".

As for Xi Chu, he turned his head and sighed, "Don't look at anything inappropriate."

Muchisang suddenly chuckled and said:

"The harmony of yin and yang is called the great gift of human relations by you people in the Central Plains. Why do you guys avoid it like snakes and scorpions?"

"If among some tribes in our southern border, if two people are in love and do such a happy thing in the wild mountains and forests, by the banks of streams, other people will not be surprised."

"The problem is, these three people are definitely not in love with each other."

Li Changqing put his hands behind his back and faced the wall.

"Does Senior Sister Li mean that if two people who truly love each other have sex in front of you, you can enjoy it to your heart's content?"

Mchisang asked curiously.

The woman who has lived in the deep mountains and old forests of southern Xinjiang since she was a child has a purity of mind that ordinary people cannot understand, which can also be said to be barbaric, and her speech is bold and bold that even men can't match.

"Junior Sister Muchisang!"

Li Changqing shouted angrily.

Muchisang suddenly let out another burst of laughter like silver bells, and then stretched out his fingers again to scratch the sandworm in his palm.

The scene in the room was naturally not the resurrection of Li Tiansheng, but the magical power of the sandworm when Mu Chisang passed by, recreating what happened in this room last night.

Li Changqing, Monk Huaiyue, and Xi Chu all had wry smiles on their faces.

Naturally, this sound will not affect their Taoism, but it is really awkward for the senior sisters and junior brothers, who are usually polite and respectful to each other, to hear this sound in the same room.

Then the one who faced the wall turned around, the one who had his eyes closed opened them, and the one who turned his head was finally able to straighten his neck.

The woman who spoke boldly also raised her head. Just now, Mchisang had actually just looked down at the Shishaworm in his hand.

Perhaps the only one who watched the whole process was Ye Fan, the Immortal Attendant standing in the corner.

The middle-aged man with mediocre appearance and temperament looked at it with gusto, his face full of envy, and at the last moment he let out a long sigh of unknown meaning.

The four immortals all looked towards the bed, and saw that on the bed, the boy who had been playing games crazily and two other women had fallen asleep hugging each other.

Li Changqing and others' expressions became a little serious.

They knew that this boy would be killed soon, and now they were waiting for the murderer to appear.

At a certain moment, a sudden drastic emotional change appeared on the sleeping boy's face. His eyes were still closed, but there were various expressions, including joy, hesitation, panic, and madness. And it changes very quickly, as if it's a nightmare.

"Someone is using the dream spell on him and looking through the memories in his mind."

Li Changqing suddenly said this in a deep voice.

"But there's no one in this room."

Xi Chu said doubtfully.

Li Changqing frowned and said:

"If you are a practitioner whose realm is above the realm of fetal movement, you can use the dream-entering technique on him from a distance. Maybe that person is still standing outside the house at this time."

Just as she finished speaking, the boy's head on the bed suddenly shattered with a "pop".

The moment the boy's head shattered, a faint shadow of a hand appeared above his head, and then disappeared immediately.

The practitioner who killed the boy had been standing at the bedside just now.

But they couldn't see that person.

"Not long ago, I used the sandworm to see what happened last night at the home of the young man named Liang."

Then Mchisang said slowly:

"The situation I saw was exactly the same as before. The boy named Liang was also cast into a dream, and then his head suddenly shattered, but no one else could be seen."

Li Changqing's expression became a little serious.

She took a deep breath and said something.

"I'll ask the three ancestors to come over and take a look."

Although her strength may be stronger than those three ancestors, she is only strong in strength.

If comparing experience, experience and other Taoist methods, Li Changqing knew that there was still a lot of gaps compared to the three ancestors.

So when he realized that his immortals might not be able to handle this incident, Li Changqing immediately thought of those three ancestors.

As for whether he can find the practitioner who killed three teenagers in a row today, Li Changqing is still quite confident at this time.

They, the Seven Immortals Alliance, still have many trump cards and tricks that are useless.



Shu Guan was chatting with a middle-aged man holding two iron galls in his hands.

This was the eighteenth stranger he had socialized with tonight.

Before attending Du Wenqiang's dinner and dance, he didn't know that he would be the protagonist of the dinner.

After all, Shu Guan felt that there was no need to make a divination for himself on this matter.

But since Du Wenqiang introduced him to the guests in public and said that Mr. Shu would be his good friend from now on, people kept coming over to toast Shu Guan and greet him, and politely asked where Shu Guan's horse racing studio was located. address, indicating that he would definitely go to Shuguan to ask for advice if he had the chance.

Among them were many very beautiful ladies. They came to Shu Guan and asked Shu Guan if he had time in the past few days. He could arrange to have afternoon tea or dinner together and discuss numerology. These women Without exception, they all showed great interest in the mysterious art of numerology.

Shu Guan always smiles at these guests who come to chat.

Because he wants to achieve his goals, expand his influence in Shanghai, and become the "Shu Immortal" in the hearts of Shanghai people, these social events are all things he must face.

The guest he was chatting with at this time was a man in his late fifties, with a tall build and a bold face. On such a solemn occasion, he was wearing a homely sweatshirt.

This guest arrived even later than Shuguan. At that time, he was wearing an undershirt. A few buttons on the chest of the undershirt were opened, revealing dark chest hair. He had two large iron bladders spinning in his hands, behind him Following several burly men in black, they walked into the Du Mansion swaggering as casually as if they were walking into their own door.

When Du Wenqiang saw this man appear, he immediately greeted him out of the hall, walked across the lawn, and met the middle-aged man, shouting "Brother Zhang, why are you here?"

Hearing Du Wenqiang's name to the man from a distance, Shu Guan roughly guessed the man's identity.

Not long after, Du Wenqiang and the man with a heroic face came to Shu Guan. When they walked over, all the guests they met along the way bowed and greeted them respectfully.

When Du Wenqiang came to Shu Guan, he introduced the middle-aged man's name to Shu Guan, and Shu Guan knew that his guess was correct.

This man is indeed another one of the three tycoons of Shanghai Youth Gang.

It is true that Du Wenqiang is a powerful figure in Shanghai, but he cannot be said to be able to cover the sky with one hand in Shanghai, because there are also two youth gang leaders in Shanghai, and their power is definitely not weaker than his.

The three of them are known as the three tycoons of the Green Gang in Shanghai.

But if the three of them join forces, they can really cover the sky in Shanghai.

Even the president of Jinling has to rely on these three hands if he wants to do something in Shanghai.

Among the three tycoons of the Qinggang, Du Wenqiang is the youngest and the latest to start. At the beginning of his career, he also relied on the support of the other two tycoons. Therefore, although Du Wenqiang's current power has slightly surpassed the other two, However, he has always maintained considerable respect for the other two tycoons and treated them with the courtesy of a teacher and an elder brother.

And now, Zhang Hushan, who was as famous as Du Wenqiang in Shanghai, stood in front of Shu Guan, looking at Shu Guan up and down with an interested look.

"I heard from Brother Wen Qiang that you are very accurate in fortune telling? Are you also good at reading Feng Shui?"

After looking at it for about half a minute, Zhang Hushan said this slowly.

His voice was loud and clear, showing that although this man was nearly fifty years old, he was as powerful as a young man.

"That's Mr. Du's fault."

Shuguan answered with a smile, his expression neither humble nor arrogant.

Zhang Hushan narrowed his eyes, and then suddenly burst into laughter, and the two big iron bladders in his hands made a roar.

"Okay, looking at you, you do seem to have some skills. My old man, Zhang, just built a new house some time ago. Come over one day and show me the feng shui."

Although he smiled generously, there was not much politeness in his tone.

So Du Wenqiang on the side quickly said:

"Then let's do it the day after tomorrow. I'll send Mr. Ye here in person, and by the way, I'll also go to Brother Zhang's new house to broaden his horizons."

Zhang Hushan suddenly glanced at Du Wenqiang with some surprise, and heard the meaning of protecting the young man in Du Wenqiang's words at this time.

Then Zhang Hushan was about to speak when he saw Meng Linghui holding the arm of a new female guest at the entrance of the hall and walking in affectionately side by side.

When Meng Linghui stood with the woman, her beauty seemed to be suppressed by the woman.

And when the woman appeared behind the hall door, a burst of cheers erupted in the hall.

Zhang Hushan turned his head when he heard the sound. When he saw the woman holding hands with Meng Linghui, his eyes suddenly lit up, and then he actually said something excited.

"Brother Du, I didn't expect you to invite Miss Luan here today."

"Brother Zhang, that was invited by Ling Hui. I don't have the dignity to invite Miss Luan."

Du Wenqiang said with a smile.

"It's the same anyway, I'll go over and say hello."

Zhang Hushan waved his hand, and then the Qinggang tycoon walked over there with long strides.

And when Shu Guanzheng was a little confused about the identity of the woman, she actually caused such a sensation among the guests in the hall, making even a Green Gang tycoon like Zhang Hushan eager to go over and say hello. When it seemed that her appearance was even more prestigious than his own appearance, Du Wenqiang was surprised. He whispered to him:

"Mr. Shu, please come to the study with me."

So Shu Guan and Du Wenqiang walked up the stairs to the second floor.

At the entrance of the hall, Meng Linghui pointed at their backs and said something to the woman next to her who was even more beautiful than her.

At the beginning of this month, I asked everyone, I want the monthly ticket this month to be more than 1,000.

Everyone is very helpful. Yesterday, we worked more than 1,000 people. This is the first time since I wrote a book.

Si Liu once again expresses my heartfelt thanks.

I’ll start with 6,000 today. I’ll check the time tomorrow and try to get a double update. At least the minimum is 6,000.
