I created an extraordinary era

Chapter 154 Meeting an old friend in a foreign land

Ten minutes later, Liuzi left with a grim look on his face.

The thought of being turned away for so much money was a little hard for him to accept.

This resulted in him being listless throughout the entire day of practice after returning home, and it could be said that his mind was completely not focused on it.

Master Hai naturally saw it.

"What's wrong, Liuzi?"

Liuzi then recounted what had happened today.

"You're confused. Qingyue is right to do this. Even an old man like me thinks we shouldn't make this money."

"But only when we have money can we make the videos better and then expand the scale. I see others doing this."

Liuzi didn’t actually understand the reason behind it, but he still felt that what Qingyue had said before was a bit alarmist.

There will be some impact later on, but it won’t be that big.

What’s more, the most important thing is to get the money first so that you will have money to do more things later, thus forming a positive cycle.

He felt that Qingyue and his master's ideas were a bit backward. This was a fast-paced era, and there was no need to think so much. People would forget about it soon.

If you don't make money now, there will never be such a good opportunity again in the future.

Although he is the one operating this account, everything still needs Qingyue's approval, otherwise Liuzi would have agreed to the merchant's request long ago.

Looking at the number of views that has exceeded one million, he still can't feel happy.

On the other side, after Liuzi left, Qingyue sat in the yard and pondered for a long time.

From the last conversation, she probably guessed Liuzi's little thoughts.

This was partly due to money, but part of it was also due to his desire to become an immortal.

The latter may even account for a larger proportion.

In Liuzi's opinion, it would be best to let Xia Yuan come back so that he can continue to contact the immortals.

If not, then make money first.

Under the dual temptations of money and power, this young man has begun to lose control of his heart.

She had vaguely guessed something when Xia Yuan left before.

In the end, Qingyue just sighed.

Eventually, things were developing in the direction she least wanted to see.

Today, he doesn't really want to promote and popularize these cultures, but rather uses them as a tool.

Qingyue believed that Liuzi definitely did not think so at the beginning, but a lot of things happened recently, which made his thoughts change invisibly.

"I hope I can figure it out!"

Qingyue didn't make a decision so quickly. After more than a year of being together, Liuzi had given her a lot of help, and she didn't want things to go to the final step.

……

In the teahouse, Xia Yuan had no idea that a video going viral would cause so many things.

Not only externally, problems also began to arise internally.

In fact, the failure of a startup team often starts from internal problems.

At the beginning, when we have nothing, everyone is willing to work towards a goal.

But after achieving some results, people often start to become restless.

At this time, if there are internal problems, this fragile team will collapse instantly.

Although there are so many precedents and lessons, when seeing such huge benefits, some people will definitely be tempted.

The only lesson people can learn from history is that they have learned nothing. Everything remains the same.

Human hearts are complex and greedy.

Most people can only see the immediate benefits, otherwise there would not be only a small number of successful people in this world.

But at the moment he was completely unaware of it. In fact, even if he knew, he would just smile and think it was a good thing.

The sooner the problem is discovered, the better. As long as Qingyue itself is not having any problems, it is actually very easy to solve.

Of course, Xia Yuan’s attention is not on this now.

After finishing his chat with Qingyue, he went to check out the comments on his Moments.

I didn’t expect that even though I hadn’t posted on WeChat Moments for many years, as soon as I did, it attracted more than a dozen comments and likes.

In addition to a few close friends from college, there were also quite a few other classmates hanging out, most of whom were from college, with relatively few from junior high and high school.

However, other people's comments were more normal, with many encouraging and envious of his life.

Nowadays, not many people have the courage to just leave.

At this age, everyone is busy and tired with life.

To be honest, around 30 is the most awkward age in life.

Those who are not married have to prepare for marriage, so how could they dare to resign and take a rest like him?

The pressure will be even greater after getting married, and taking a break is unthinkable.

That's why so many people envy him for being able to do what he wants.

In life, as we get older, we have fewer opportunities to choose what we want to do.

Being free and easy is simple to say.

If he didn't have the panel and no longer had to worry about mundane matters, how could he be as leisurely as he is now?
Being a corporate slave is his best destiny.

Afterwards, Xia Yuan looked carefully again and found an unexpected person.

[Xia Yuan, it was you I met on the street that day, right? ]

This is the junior high school classmate I met on the street during the Chinese New Year.

The two of them haven't said a word to each other since they added each other as friends, but I didn't expect that they would show up now.

【Haha, guess what】

Xia Yuan still replied. Although the two of them no longer had much contact, they were still classmates after all.

[It's really you. You've changed so much after not seeing you for so many years. I pretended not to know you that day.]

[Okay, now that I've become successful, I won't recognize my old classmates anymore]

Soon, there was a new reply.

[No, no, do you think I look like a brilliant Tengda? I haven't been to work for half a year and I'm hanging out alone.]

【Isn’t this because I’m so bad at this?】

[What we said is pretty much the same. After the New Year, we junior high school classmates will get together again.]

[Okay, I'll definitely go when I'm free]

After a few words, the two ended the conversation.

The truth is that their relationship was just average to begin with. They barely exchanged a few words when they were in school, and now that they haven't seen each other for so many years, there's even less to say.

Now it's more of just small talk.

As for getting together with junior high school classmates, this kind of thing is just something to talk about, no one will take it seriously.

We haven't gotten together for more than ten years, and we may not even know each other's names. There is absolutely no point in getting together.

It’s still possible to have a reunion with college classmates, but the memories of junior high school are so distant now.

Of course, it could also be that he wasn’t invited to the party.

In any case, Xia Yuan didn't think there would really be a so-called gathering.

My current condition is like a ghost in the eyes of my classmates.

Who would dare to meet him if they don’t know him? Aren’t you afraid that he will ask you to borrow money?

Still having a party?
Get as far away from me as possible.

At this moment, another message came from the chat software.

[Are you in Shuwang City now? ]

[Yeah, what's wrong? ]

I'm going there tomorrow to handle a case. Let's have dinner together when I get there.

[What's going on? Why are you here in Shuwang City to investigate a case?]

[This is an interstate case that requires joint investigation. Please don’t ask for the specific details.]

After hearing this, Xia Yuan didn't ask any more questions. He still knew the case confidentiality regulations.

[Okay, then call me when you get there tomorrow]

The person coming here to handle the case tomorrow is none other than Fu Hongkang, the only old junior high school classmate I'm still in touch with. I didn't expect him to actually come to Shuwang City to handle the case; it's quite a coincidence.

Fu Hongkang knew a little about his abilities, and since he didn't ask for his help, it shouldn't be serious.

Even if you can come here, maybe all that’s left is the final finishing work.

Putting down his phone, Xia Yuan drank the last cup of tea in one gulp.

It is a good thing to celebrate when you meet an old friend in a foreign land!

Half an hour later, Xia Yuan appeared in Qingcheng Mountain again, looking like a tourist and blending into the crowd.

The purpose of my visit here is to visit Taoist Master Li again to discuss the doubts that were not answered yesterday.

However, he did not go directly to the destination. He was in a good mood at the moment, and it would be nice to walk up and enjoy the scenery along the way.

Unlike yesterday, Xia Yuan deliberately reduced his presence today, so not many people around noticed him.

He didn't want what happened last night to happen again.

We walked unsteadily up the mountain. Due to the hot weather, the further we went, the fewer people there were walking on the road.

It was a little after two in the afternoon, the hottest time of the day.

Most people hid in the shade to cool off.

There are many mountains here, and when you look up, you can see trees almost everywhere.

A gust of wind blew away the scorching heat, and many tourists showed comfortable expressions on their faces.

"This is a really nice place, surrounded by mountains and water."

As Xia Yuan walked along the mountain road, he heard people sighing from time to time.

"Come down quickly, be careful not to fall!"

When passing by a place, I saw a family of three enjoying the cool air under a tree.

There was a young boy climbing on the tree above his head.

Although the parents said this, there was no worry on their faces.

The tree grew on the mountainside and was not far from the ground, so even if they fell it would be no big deal. They were just giving it a habitual warning.

However, at this moment, a large rock suddenly slid down from above.

Fortunately, there were trees blocking it and it did not fall directly.

But it was precisely because of this impact that many branches of the tree were broken.

Because the boy was at a relatively low position, he was not hit immediately.

But the next moment, the entire stone and the thick branches above it fell down together.

The three people who were enjoying the cool air below also noticed this scene, and expressions of horror instantly appeared on their faces.

But at this moment, they had no time to escape. The rocks and branches above would fall in a second at most.

Those of them at the bottom might not be in any danger, but the fate of the boy in the tree was predictable.

"fast"

Before he could finish his words, the branch above was less than half a meter away from the boy.

Just when everyone thought that the young man would meet with an accident, he mysteriously disappeared on the spot.

In the blink of an eye, the man was back on the ground.

Even the broken branches and rocks above disappeared.

All this happened in a flash, and no one had yet to react, as if everything had just happened in a dream.

After landing, the boy's face was dazed, as if he was frightened silly.

Just now, he really thought he was going to die.

"Wow"

After realizing that he was still alive, the boy burst into tears.

At this moment, my parents and sister came to their senses at the same time.

"What happened just now?"

"Is he a god?"

Several people looked at each other.

"Don't climb around in places like this next time!"

At this moment, a long voice came into the boy's ears.

The boy stopped crying immediately, his eyes blank, and he looked around, not knowing where the voice came from.

Another burst of crying sounded again.
In the distance, Xia Yuan shook his head.

If the young man hadn't been climbing the tree, this wouldn't have happened.

The stone fell down because he kept shaking it.

Even if the person is not on the tree, the stone will not hit the person under the tree when it falls.

I can only say that this naughty kid is really brave.

But since we have met, it is a life after all, so I have to take care of it if it is convenient.

I hope I can teach him a lesson this time!

……

Not long after, Xia Yuan appeared at the door of Tianshi Academy again.

"Layman, this place is not allowed to visit. Please go somewhere else to visit."

At this time, a young Taoist priest came out of the door and stopped him.

"I'm here to see Taoist Li Qingxuan. Please let me know."

This time, Xia Yuan did not go in directly. Since he already knew someone there, there was no need to be sneaky.

"Superintendent?"

The young Taoist's face changed. This person came and said he wanted to see the abbot, but the way he was dressed obviously made him look more like a tourist.

What's more, this person is so young. He doesn't look like someone the abbot knows, right?
"How about you wait a moment, Mr. Layman? The abbot is busy right now. I'll inform him when he's done."

Although the young Taoist priest had some doubts in his heart, since the man said he knew him, there was no harm in letting him know.

But the dean is taking a lunch break at the moment, if I wake him up, then...
Thinking of Brother Li’s miserable condition last night, he shuddered all over.

But the truth definitely cannot be told to this person, so I can only find an excuse and wait until the abbot wakes up before reporting it.

"..."

Xia Yuan was speechless. He had already used his spiritual power to detect that Li Qingxuan was sleeping at the moment.

This little Taoist priest can talk.

He didn't want to make things difficult for the young Taoist priest.

It seems that the only way to get in now is to use unconventional means.

What is this called!
Just as Xia Yuan was about to sneak in, he sensed a familiar person walking towards the door.

The script of his departure suddenly stopped in its tracks.

"Layman, please go to the pavilion next to you and rest for a while."

However, just as he finished speaking, a young Taoist priest about thirty years old arrived.

"Brother Li, this lay Buddhist said he wants to find..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw Senior Brother Li showing a surprised expression and running over quickly.

It was as if he had seen a relative.

"Hello, Senior Xian!"

senior?

The young Taoist priest next to him was stunned.

Senior Brother Li actually called this young man "senior"?

"Brother Li, you and I look about the same age. There's no need to call me senior. Just call me by my name."

"That won't do. You and my master are fellow Taoists. How can I just call you by your name?"

"It's okay, let's talk about our own things. We are all young people, there is no need to be so rigid."

"..."

Li Tianyi's mouth twitched. Is this person really a young man?
He suspected that she was just pretending to be young.
