Chapter 51: Niu Da's Confusion
I stopped and looked at Mao Xueying. I couldn't say anything like staying. The money and power in the secular world became an insurmountable obstacle between Mao Xueying and me.
"You're here, thank you for seeing me off." Mao Xueying smiled, her voice sad.
I was silent. I watched Mao Xueying turn around again and suddenly said, "I'll need some time to find you."
Mao Xueying stopped again. She didn't look back. After a moment, she said calmly, "I will be engaged at the end of the year, and will be abroad for two years. I hope you will come to see me in two years."
Mao Xueying left, leaving only her back figure slowly disappearing from my sight. I gritted my teeth and turned away.
Mao Xueying's meaning is very clear, two years is only two years. Using these two years, I must accumulate wealth, accumulate connections, and reach the level of dialogue with the Mao family.
"Ni Ge, some things cannot be violated. To be honest, I was really worried that you would rush in and act out a tragedy, but now I feel relieved." Qian Yunfeng walked in and patted my shoulder and said.
"Boss Qian, send me back to the Metaphysics Society."
The gathering held by the Metaphysics Society this time has brought in a lot of Even if it is only one-third, it is enough for me to start. One hundred million is an astronomical figure for ordinary people. I was also dumbfounded by this huge sum of money. But compared with the wealth of the Mao family, it is just a drop in the bucket.
Qian Yunfeng didn't say anything and took me directly into the car.
In the Metaphysics Society, Zheng Qihuai was sitting alone in the office, picking his toenails out of boredom. When he saw me coming over, he asked in surprise, "Ni Ge, why didn't you come with us?"
I sighed and said, "Ningxiang got the news about the two little ghosts' parents from the land god, and they have already rushed to the underworld."
Zheng Qihuai frowned, thought for a while, and suddenly slapped his thigh and jumped up: "Oh, what can I say to you? You've been fooled, you and Ningxiang, that silly girl, have both been fooled!"
I hesitated for a moment and asked in confusion, "Brother Zheng, what do you mean?"
Zheng Qihuai was so anxious that he turned around on the ground twice, like an ant on a hot pot. Then he said, "Are you stupid? Brother, Ningxiang has been a ghost for hundreds of years. How could she have any ghost relatives? Not to mention that this is the underworld. The underworld reincarnates every hundred years. Even if Ningxiang's relatives were reincarnated hundreds of years ago, they would have been reincarnated long ago. Besides, who is the land god? How can he be so easy to meet? Not to mention that the land god would pass on the news. I think this matter is strange!"
I suddenly became nervous: "Brother Zheng, Ningxiang left at midnight last night. We can't catch her back even if we chase her. What should we do now?"
I was also panicked and completely lost my composure for a moment.
Zheng Qihuai scratched his head and looked extremely anxious. After a while, he said, "Since Ningxiang has left, let's put this matter aside. After President Wu's master banquet is over, ask him to draw a talisman for you to go to the underworld and take a look. But it will be too difficult to get it out."
Zheng Qihuai was talking about going to the underworld. Mortals must have a special way to enter the underworld. The usual way of going to the underworld is just to draw a spell, gather the breath of the underworld spirits, and place tributes for the underworld messengers to enjoy. Then get the information you want from the underworld messengers.
There are also those who are highly accomplished and can enter the underworld physically. Of course, such people must be powerful beings who have reached the level of a venerable, and I am only a third-rank cultivator. Even if President Wu advances to the level of a master, it would be impossible for him to do so.
I sat down somewhat dejectedly. I felt helpless. Mao Xueying left and I was powerless. Ningxiang left. I knew that Ningxiang would be unable to move forward in the underworld with his obsession, but I was still powerless.
"Don't worry, brother. If we can't enter the underworld through normal procedures, we can sneak through. But since all these things are happening at the same time, we have to put Ningxiang's matter aside. With Ningxiang's strength, she probably won't suffer any loss in the underworld."
I looked up suddenly. I had never heard of sneaking into the underworld! Zheng Qihuai's words undoubtedly opened a door for me.
"How to smuggle?" I stood up, stared at Zheng Qihuai and asked impatiently.
"Don't worry. Whether this can be accomplished depends on how much benefit Old Man Wu can get at the Master's Banquet. When the time comes, the Grand Master will bless us with his magical power. When President Wu becomes stronger, we will choose a time to open the Yin-Yang Road. Then you can go in. With him here, you can find Ningxiang and the little ghost and get out, right?"
I nodded in agreement. Walking in the underworld is no joke. If you are not careful, you will get lost. No matter how powerful you are, you will still be trapped in the underworld.
Seeing that I had calmed down, Zheng Qihuai took my hand and said, "Come on, brother, let's talk about something happy."
As he spoke, Zheng Qihuai opened the drawer and took out an account book and a bank card.
"Brother, this is the daily account of the past few days, as well as the account of the share of the gambling game I set up. Please take a look."
"What's so good about it? Could it be that I don't trust Brother Zheng?" I shook my head and pushed the account book back.
Zheng Qihuai had no intention of giving up. He opened the account book and said, "There were 1,230 participants in this meeting. There were 1,198 members. The total cost was 164,878,240 yuan. There were 936 people who enjoyed the package, and the total cost was 62,399,376 yuan. In addition, I opened a gambling game, and the total income was 32 million yuan."
"Hehehe!" Zheng Qihuai couldn't help but grinning as he read the bill.
"We made a fortune this time. A total of 200 million. Brother took 30% of it. Minus the rental fee of 600,000, brother is worth 67 million. Congratulations to brother."
Zheng Qihuai said this and pushed the bank card in front of me.
Holding this card with tens of millions of dollars in it, I was a little trembling. It was the first time in my life that I had such a huge sum of money. But soon the problem came. This money would not increase if it was left there, and I needed more.
I picked up the bank card, thought for a moment and asked, "Brother Zheng, how should I manage this money?"
Zheng Qihuai looked at me with wide eyes and asked in confusion: "You have a God of Wealth by your side, I should ask Miss Mao how to manage you!"
I shook my head and smiled bitterly, "Miss Mao left today too."
Uh! Zheng Qihuai was stunned for a while, looking at me with his mouth wide open.
It seemed that I couldn't get any good advice from Zheng Qihuai, so I simply got up and left.
"Brother Zheng, I'm leaving first."
Zheng Qihuai looked at my back as I left, and suddenly said meaningfully: "Brother, money is worldly stuff, it's just a resource for us. In fact, people of my generation live a transcendent life, and what we value most is strength."
A word awakens a dreamer. I was also hit so hard that I lost myself. Yes, the Mao family is rich and powerful, so what? They can make the world bow, but they can't make cultivators bow. As long as my strength is strong enough, I have the capital to talk to the Mao family.
"Hahahaha! Thank you, brother! I understand." After figuring this out, I felt much better, as if a seal on my heart had suddenly shattered. I felt that the world was vast and there was a way out everywhere.
After leaving the Metaphysics Society, I even felt like taking a leisurely walk on the street. Since entering Dongmen City, I have been in a hurry every day. I have never taken a good look at this city.
Walking eastward along the avenue of the Metaphysics Society and passing through a residential area, I suddenly discovered that there was a No. 44 bus that went directly to Donghua Village.
The driver was a strong man with a beard, but he looked listless and yawned from time to time. When he saw me looking at him from under the car, he said with dissatisfaction: "Are you going or not? If you don't go now, you will have to wait for an hour for the next bus."
I smiled and walked up to him, only to find that I had no money in my pocket. My face suddenly became a little embarrassed.
The driver gave me an impatient look and said, "You are talking without money."
While speaking, the driver actually took out two yuan in change from his pocket and threw it into the cash box.
I was about to get off the bus, but I didn't expect the driver to be so interesting, so I walked behind him and sat down. I said apologetically.
"Thank you. I'm sorry for the expense."
"Hey, why are you being so polite? It's just two dollars. Besides, everyone has difficulties when they are away from home! If you take my car again next time, just make up for it."
The driver said in a simple and honest way. I know that this is to save my face. I can't help but like this driver more.
"What's your name, Master?"
"My last name is Niu, and I am the eldest in my family. People call me Niu Da. You can call me whatever you want, brothers."
Master Niu looked left and right to make sure that no one was getting on the bus, then he started the bus and slowly left the platform.
I smiled as I looked at Niu Da's back, but his eyes became more and more serious.
"Master Niu, have you always felt sleepy lately?"
Niu Da scratched his head in embarrassment and said honestly, "It's strange, I keep dozing off whenever I get on the bus recently. But you know in our line of work, dozing off is fatal, so we can only think of ways to stay awake. Look, this is the third bottle of tea."
Niu Da shook a huge space cup at me.
I squinted my eyes, facing the sun, and looked at Niu Da's back. A ball of black air was slowly moving around Niu Da's shoulders.
This is Yin Qi, a breath that only exists in the underworld. This breath is impossible to appear on a living person. This is strange, Niu Da is obviously a living person!
"Master Niu! You drive during the day, can you still keep going at night?" I asked tentatively.
"Hey! Brother, you can't talk nonsense about the night now! My car is closed at 7pm. I dare not drive it at night. You know, something strange happened to this car. It's true. I'd be a fool if I lied to you. Before, a month ago, this car was driven by two people. Xiao Wang always drives at night. I don't know why he got in the car that night, and he was like a ghost, rolling on the ground and crying. In the end, we had no choice but to send him to the hospital. The car stopped."
