Chapter 1 Driving to Shanghai Pudong Airport

Then I took the morning flight to Jiamusi. After getting off the plane, someone from the car rental company was already waiting. After swiping my credit card to prepay, I drove straight for over an hour and arrived in Hegang city.

Today, the Late Night Bookstore group plans to rest here and wait until tomorrow to enter the mountains and drill into the old forests to find the location of the dragon vein.

There are many people here this time, and many animals too. We booked five rooms in total.

Zhou Ze and Yingying have one room, Little Monkey and Lawyer An have one room, Xu Qinglang and the white fox have one room.

Lao Zhang will have one room temporarily because Liu Chuyu, Zheng Qiang, and Yueya will arrive later. Because the decision to come was too hasty, they didn’t have time to gather in Tongcheng to set off together. They can only find transportation from their respective areas to get here as soon as possible. The latest one should arrive before tonight's midnight snack.

After all, the more people there are to find something, the better.

After settling down in the hotel,

The white fox went out first. This is the Northeast, although it is not in the old forest, it can be considered half of her territory. As a great immortal who came out of the old forest in her early years, she has to go out and say hello this time. The little ghosts, little demons, or fellow great demons will give her some face.

We don’t expect them to help find the dragon vein together. Even if they are willing, Boss Zhou will not let them join, but at least we can avoid them causing trouble.

Xu Qinglang came to Zhou Ze's room.

After entering, he found that Yingying was not there.

"Where is she?"

"She said it's not easy to go out, so she bought a few houses along the way."

"Heh, there are indeed more and more zombie houses now."

"There's no way, don't you have so many houses as a half-demon?"

"Me, a half-demon?" Xu Qinglang shrugged. "That's really a novel title."

In this era, the market is too big, and there are not enough people to take over. We can only rely on demons and ghosts to help speculate on houses to maintain our lives.

Many cities are starting to snatch up talent, lower the qualifications for settling down, and find people to take over. Those who have money to buy houses are talents.

In fact, we can take a different approach and develop the purchasing power of the non-human population.

"Actually, the houses here are not cheap. What is exposed on the Internet are resettlement houses in bad locations, but with this hype, the homeowners in this city are probably going to scold people. Their houses are equal to assets shrinking all of a sudden."

"Alright, we're not here to talk about houses. Tell me, what methods are there for finding the dragon vein?"

Zhou Ze sat down on the small sofa with the coffee Yingying made for him before she left.

"Doesn't the one inside you know the method?"

"Him? He only knows how to eat."

Besides eating, he knows nothing.

"Looking at feng shui is fine, but finding the dragon vein is too big of a topic. I don't even know where to start. Generally speaking, when a dynasty is founded, there will be great feng shui masters appearing, but their endings are usually not very good.

I can only sense a rough location through the formation, and then combine it with the white fox's experience to determine a similar area.

But you know,

Even if it's just poking a needle on the map, in reality, it's still a considerable area. In the end, we still have to slowly rely on people to find it."

"This has to be fast. I just called the pharmacy, and the old Taoist hasn't woken up yet."

"I'm just wondering, the old Taoist is already like this, why didn't you help the old Taoist renew his life before you came out?"

"His situation is different from what you think. From the current point of view, other methods are not very feasible. Only by finding the dragon vein can there be hope for breaking the situation."

"Okay, I'll go back and finish the last bit of the formation and try to get it done before midnight. After sensing a rough coordinate, we will go into the mountains to find it tomorrow."

"Thank you for your hard work."

"Lao Zhou, you're being too polite. It's all for the old Taoist. After all, we've been together for so long. Although we haven't expected to be together for a long time, at least we can be considered friends. We can't just watch him die."

"Yeah."

……………

Unlike the busyness of other people,

Lawyer An is a bit idle now.

It's not that he didn't think about letting the boss first find the old monkey to see if he could find a helper,

But everything still depends on the progress of finding the dragon vein in the next few days.

After all, favors are used once and then gone. If we really can't figure out anything, we'll ask the old monkey to come out.

As for whether it is convenient for the old monkey to come out or whether he has any unspeakable secrets,

Lawyer An has not thought about it.

After all, an old monkey who is so awesome actually guards the pond and eats fish all day long. It feels wrong no matter how you think about it.

But,

It's good to be able to use it.

I don't care if you have any problems or troubles.

If you don't say it,

I'll pretend I didn't see it, don't know, and don't understand.

The urban construction of Hegang is still good,

It just seems a little deserted.

On the street,

There are many shops,

Most of them are real estate agencies.

This is basically a common phenomenon in many small cities in China.

Of course,

There are also many entertainment venues.

If it wasn't for the fact that he had a wisp of his soul in the white fox's place to nourish the demon core,

Lawyer An really wanted to go in and relax.

Oh no,

To use the words of praising Mount Tai,

It is that everyone is working hard, and they should comfort, help, and take care of each other's business.

"Hoo…………"

He yawned,

And looked at the sky again.

Most of the day was spent on the road and on the plane. At this time, it was actually getting dark.

After thinking about it,

I was too lazy to go back to the hotel to eat,

Just find a place to deal with it.

Lawyer An entered a barbecue restaurant.

It is said to be a restaurant, but it is actually a stall. The area is quite large. It's too early, and there are not many customers at this time.

When Lawyer An went in, there was only one customer sitting in the corner eating.

I ordered some things casually, and asked for a few bottles of Harbin beer.

Lawyer An also found a table outside and sat down.

First, he took out a small bottle from his pocket, unscrewed the lid, and drank the River Lethe oral solution.

Ha…

My appetite came all of a sudden.

Then I took a sip of iced Harbin beer,

The taste of life began to permeate.

Lawyer An was a little fortunate at this time that the impact of taking out a wisp of his soul was nothing more than the matter of x desire,

You will definitely want it very much when you think about it, but you won't die if you don't do that thing. If it affects your appetite, it would be really uncomfortable.

"No wonder so many people in ancient times cut themselves off to become eunuchs in order to eat."

Lawyer An refilled himself a glass of wine,

And offered a toast to the eunuchs of the past,

At this moment, he and they achieved a certain resonance in eating and that thing.

"What kind of oral liquid did you just drink?"

The customer who came earlier than Lawyer An suddenly turned around and asked.

"Vitamin oral liquid, to supplement calcium, iron, and zinc."

"Oh?" The middle-aged man seemed very curious about this and asked, "Which brand?"

"Sanlu's."

"Sanlu's?"

"Yes, this brand is very good. I've been drinking it since I was a child."

"Really? Then your body should always be very good."

"Yes, it's always been very good, except that I just had a kidney stone surgery a while ago."

"Oh, did stones grow in your body?"

"Yes."

"Wow, that's terrible. Stones can actually grow in the body."

"That's for sure."

"With more stones, will your conscience become harder?"

"Oh, it might really be like that."

Lawyer An thought that the other party was just chatting with him, so he deliberately cooperated. After all, who doesn't know what Sanlu is?

I always feel that this guy is very on the ball, maybe he is a crosstalk comedian.

Anyway, there is nothing else to do,

Lawyer An first handed the other party a cigarette,

The other party took it.

Lawyer An simply got up, picked up the beer, put it on the other party's table, and sat down next to the other party.

He greeted:

"Hey, boss, bring the food here."

Lawyer An lit a cigarette for himself first.

The other party also bit the cigarette in his mouth.

Lawyer An leaned over,

And lit it for the other party.

"Hoo…………"

"Hoo…………"

Lawyer An saw that the other party actually smoked the cigarette directly without spitting it out, and swallowed it.

"Damn, brother, you smoke so fiercely."

"Hehe." The other party smiled and said, "I don't usually smoke."

"Then don't learn. It's not good to learn this. To be honest, the harm of this thing is not as strong as drugs, but to be honest, quitting smoking is not easier than quitting gambling.

Because it's not expensive anyway, and you won't die from smoking."

"I remember there used to be a lot of opium."

"Where is there any opium now? It's outdated. Heh, but I did get a big opium pipe a while ago, tsk tsk, I always forget to buy some tobacco to try it out."

The opium pipe was brought back by Xu Qinglang from the shop opened by the two little monkeys according to Zhou Ze's instructions last time, and was discovered by Lawyer An.

"Come, let's have one together."

The two clinked glasses together,

And then drank it all in one gulp.

"Comfortable, happy, I still think the skewers in the Northeast are the most delicious and the most suitable for my appetite."

The other party also smiled, but smiled very implicitly.

It happened that Lawyer An's lighter fell to the ground. Lawyer An bent over to pick it up and found that there were two boxes of batteries wrapped in plastic film next to the other party's feet, with various sizes, specifications, and models.

"Brother, what are you buying so many batteries for? Do you do business in this area?"

"No, there is no electricity at home, so I bought more."

"Oh, then the living environment in your hometown is too bad. The houses here are not expensive. Aren't there still resettlement houses selling for a few hundred yuan per square meter? Why don't you buy one here and at least there is no power outage or water shortage, and bring your family to live here."

"There are more people in my family, so it's not very convenient. I'm also busy with work and don't have time to live here."

"Alas, there is no way, every family has its own problems. Speaking of work, I used to have a job too."

"Oh? What job?"

"It can be considered a civil servant, but you know, the leaders above are too fucking stupid, each and every one of them is like a moron.

Later, I was really bored with it, so I resigned and went into business on my own.

There is no future with those morons, and you don't even know how you died."

"Oh."

"Oh what oh, cheers, drink!"
