Mr. Mei only said one sentence and did not go into details. He was also involved in the third brother's fairy tale back then. It's just that there are countless practitioners, and almost no one has ever seen immortality. Moreover, once you enter the immortality temple, if you are not a real person who is the Jade Liquid Returning Pill, your actions will still be subject to many restrictions.
At that time, he was young and vigorous, and wanted to leave great achievements in the world instead of being buried in a deserted grave in the future, so he did not pursue the elusive eternal life. What's more, he has laid a huge foundation and can still use the resources at hand to practice, and he is much freer.
Thinking about it now, I was too arrogant at that time and always thought that everything went as I wanted. But after all, he was no longer the protagonist in the play, and his mood was not what it used to be.
But now I want to turn back and aspire to live forever, but I have missed the best age. The worldly chores of the East China Sea Alliance cannot be put down just yet.
He calmed down and continued: "Let's go thank the Taoist priest first, and then visit Boss Bai in the evening."
Youyou nodded in agreement, she knew the reason why the sect leader went to visit Boss Bai. Boss Bai is not only the owner of the Bai family gambling house, but also the leader of the Qingzhou Prefecture. The green forest heroes and even the official figures in the Qingzhou Prefecture have an intricate relationship with him. The East China Sea Alliance does a lot of business. Naturally, he has a lot of dealings with such local snakes.
Visit Boss Bai first, and then you can follow Boss Bai's line to contact Hu Daode. Otherwise, it is definitely not a good idea to rush to visit this strange man like Hu Daode.
The two of them went downstairs. Shen Lian was massaging Gu Weiwei's shoulders. Gu Weiwei looked satisfied. When he saw the two of them going downstairs, he couldn't help but blush, which made Shen Lian stop. It turned out that she used her mind to heat the water in the bowl according to Shen Lian's words, which was too laborious, so Shen Lian restored her energy through massage.
Mr. Mei naturally could see that even though Gu Weiwei had some cultivation, he was very shallow. He was very different from Shen Lian, a mysterious Taoist priest. But Shen Lian was obviously very concerned about Gu Weiwei. If he wanted to find out where Shen Lian came from, , maybe we can start from Gu Weiwei.
It's not that he has any thoughts about Shen Lian, it's just that he wants to find out what's difficult to understand out of habit. This is a habit he has developed over the years and has helped him get through thrilling dilemmas countless times.
Mr. Mei walked up to Shen Lian, bowed his head and said, "Thank you for your kindness. Mei Niansheng will be remembered in my heart. I know that Zhang Fei is a commoner and may not be useful to me, but I am living in the world of mortals, so I can't help but use it." Ah Duwu, with this gold medal, you can go to any Huitong bank in the fifty states of Great Zhao to withdraw money, so please be sure to accept it."
Shen Lian nodded lightly and accepted it unceremoniously, without asking how much money he could withdraw. Mr. Mei was even more surprised. He had thought that Shen Lian would shirk the problem. After all, no one who is truly a spiritual practitioner would be willing to get too involved with the secular world. However, Shen Lian accepted it directly, which was obviously different from the masters he had met in the past, and it also made him aware of Shen Lian's free and easy attitude beyond worldliness.
Gu Weiwei asked: "How much money can I withdraw from the bank for this gold medal?"
Mr. Mei smiled slightly and said: "The bank takes as much as it has." He was naturally confident in his words, because Donghai League was also one of the shareholders behind Huitong Bank.
Gu Weiwei was slightly surprised and didn't ask any more questions.
Mr. Mei immediately took a high look at Gu Weiwei. It was normal for Shen Lian not to care about the value of the gold medal, but Gu Weiwei was obviously still an ordinary person, and he had shown his desire for money before, but now he didn't value the gold medal much, which really surprised him. .
If he knew that Gu Weiwei had seen Shen Lian's method of turning stone into gold, he would know that Gu Weiwei's reaction was actually normal. Her desire to make more money by opening a restaurant is just an instinct developed over the years, and she is not really obsessed with money.
Shen Lian said: "Don't you want to deal with the corpse exorcist before?"
Mr. Mei said: "The corpse exorcist is called Zhong Tieyi, and he is quite famous in the world. He and I can't say we won't deal with him. We just have differences in cooperation."
Shen Lian said: "Oh."
Mr. Mei saw that Shen Lian was not very interested in their affairs, so he did not continue to mention it, and he had no intention of involving Shen Lian in order to avoid being discovered by Shen Lian and offending the master.
He is a very knowledgeable person. He has traveled extensively over the years and has gained a wide range of knowledge. Even Gu Weiwei is fascinated by the interesting stories he tells. Shen Lian is also very interested in chatting with strangers and responds to them calmly.
Shen Lian is a true immortal walking in the mortal world. Even if he has never experienced many things, once Mr. Mei talks about them, he can draw inferences from one instance and even analyze more implications. Mr. Mei is a man of great talent and intelligence. After talking to Shen Lian, he couldn't help but be convinced. I even couldn't help but think that Taoist Shen looked young, maybe he was some old monster with good looks, and judging from the way he treated Gu Weiwei, could it be that Gu Weiwei was very close to Shen Lian in his previous life, so Shen Lian was Come to Baijia Town and prepare to transport her out of the mortal world.
He buried these words in his heart and did not say them out. Little did he know that his guess was already close to the truth.
It's almost time to see you.
Gu Weiwei interrupted the conversation and said, "Do you want Mr. Mei and Miss Youyou to have dinner tonight?"
Mr. Mei said: "It's not necessary tonight. I'm going to see someone later."
Gu Weiwei said: "A big shot like Mr. Mei must be going to meet a few celebrities in the town. Who are they?"
Mr. Mei secretly praised Gu Weiwei Bingxue for being smart and did not hide it, saying: "He is the boss Bai in the town. He is an old friend of mine."
Gu Weiwei said: "Then I won't keep you. Now that the rain has stopped, you can go quickly."
Mr. Mei bowed to the two of them and left the restaurant quietly with his maid.
Gu Weiwei said: "Ah Lian, I never thought that one day I would be able to chat and laugh with such a big shot like Mr. Mei. It's like a dream."
Shen Lian shook his head and said, "Senior sister, you are the big shot."
Gu sighed slightly, if I were really your senior sister, I would definitely be a big shot, but I am just an ordinary woman.
But she didn't want to correct Shen Lian's misunderstanding of her, and even hoped that Shen Lian would always regard her as her senior sister. Although she still felt a little sad about being treated as someone else, it was worth it.
She said softly: "Ah Lian, thank you, I am very happy now."
Shen Lian said 'hmm', looked at the door and said, "That guy Bai Xiaoyu didn't come back after all."
Gu Weiwei also reacted and said: "What's going on with this kid? Even if he loses, he should come back for dinner."
… …
It's not that Bai Xiaoyu doesn't want to come back, it's that he can't come back. It's not that he lost, but he won too much.
When other people win money, they must be happy, but now he is crying when he wins money.
Originally, it was fine before Youshi. Although he won some money, he still had losses and wins. As a result, he had so much fun that he forgot about time. Once the time passed, he felt as if he was possessed by the God of Wealth, and he never lost once.
He became so excited about gambling that he forgot all about himself. The gamblers around him naturally followed his lead, and it didn't take long for the banker to lose hundreds of taels of silver.
As a result, he was invited by the gambling house to join a higher-end gambling game, but he still didn't lose. He finally realized something was wrong and wanted to leave, but two fierce men around him held him down and stared at him fiercely. He dared not leave.
The croupier on the opposite side smiled secretly and said: "Brother Bai, do you think this hand is big or small?"
Bai Xiaoyu stammered: "Big."
The dealer said thoughtfully: "Why do I think this hand should be small? Have you thought about it?"
Bai Xiaoyu cried: "Little one." At this time, he knew clearly that the croupier must have done something wrong, but he still had to bite the bullet and buy the small one.
The croupier had enough time to ask: "How much do you want to buy?"
Bai Xiaoyu gritted his teeth, pushed a quarter of the chips, and bought Xiaoyu.
The dealer said: "Brother Bai, as the ancients said, 'The bold will die of hunger, and the timid will starve to death'. There are not many opportunities to make a fortune, so you have to cherish it."
Bai Xiaoyu said: "Brother, you are right."
He pushed out most of the remaining chips.
The croupier shook his head.
Bai Xiaoyu secretly sighed, it turned out that getting rich in gambling houses was just a fantasy, so he had no choice but to push out all the chips with tears in his eyes.
The croupier smiled and said: "We are all fellow villagers. I will never harm you."
He slowly opened the dice cup.
When Bai Xiaoyu saw the dice, his face turned pale, and beads of sweat rolled down his forehead.
The croupier saw his expression and said he was too sad to have lost all his money. It turned out that the two big men holding Bai Xiaoyu down also looked like they had seen a ghost, so he felt something was wrong.
The croupier looked down and saw that the dice were all one dot. He was almost spinning, he was obviously big, how could he become like this.
Bai Xiaoyu was extremely scared now. He really wanted to lose, and now he had to be skinned by the people in the gambling house.
