Bureau of Anomalous Biological Countermeasures Chapter 557: A friend who will never return

"Zhang Mingfang, He Chongyuan and Tan Chong?" Sun Xiaochuan blinked his eyes and continued to face Guibugui: "Do the three of them owe you money? How much do they owe you? For the sake of the three melons and two dates, it won't be like you. These old gods have traveled all the way to come here."

"Don't talk nonsense!" At this time, Bai Wuqiu finally couldn't help it, and shouted at Sun Xiaochuan: "Do whatever you want! Why do you ask so many questions? Do you want to pay the three of them back? You have already heard about the whereabouts of the three people you asked about. Remember, Zhang Chongyuan, Tan Mingfang, and He Chong, remember, don't ask me wrong..."

"Zhang Mingfang, He Chongyuan and Tan Chong..." Sun Xiaochuan corrected the mistake in this Erlengzi's words with a smile. However, it still caused a loud roar: "I know you haven't gone yet? Do you want to forget to go again? Remember Zhang Chong, He Mingfang, and Tan Chongyuan!"

At the beginning, Sun Xiaochuan had been beaten by a hundred Wuqiu, and he will now repeat the original scene every time in a nightmare. Seeing this idiot now, his eyes widened, and he didn't dare to stay in the carriage any longer. After opening the door, he jumped out of the car, and the few people who stayed in the car heard Sun Xiaochuan's voice and thought outside the car: "Master, have you heard of Zhang Mingfang, He Chongyuan and Tan Chong... Think about it, Are there any neighbors with the surname Zhang...the surname is Wang...the other side? The surname is Wang..."

The volcano, who was originally in charge of escorting the prisoners back to the museum station, was inquiring about people's lives on the street at this time, and the four prisoners were still sitting in the carriage. Wu Mian glanced at Sun Xiaochuan, who asked questions when he saw people outside the carriage, and said to the old guy, "Tell me, what are the names of those three people?"

"These three are actually one person" Kuai Bugui smiled and looked at Sun Xiaochuan outside the carriage. After a pause, he continued: "Speaking of which, this person and this Sun Xiaochuan are still a little bit like..."

Sun Xiaochuan was inquiring about the owner of the three names, Yinglu, who came from the royal bloodline of Qin. However, because their ancestors violated the king's law of the Qin state, the clansmen were exiled to the barbarian land in northern Qin. Yinglu's ancestors managed to cross 800 li of Qinchuan before returning to the Central Plains with their children and grandchildren.

After returning to the Central Plains, Yinglu's ancestors made a living by doing business. After several generations of migration, they finally settled in Linzi, the capital of Qi. Although the family relies on business for a living, Yinglu is not interested in buying and selling business. At that time, I was thinking of becoming an immortal and attaining the Tao, and finally went to the alchemist school, wanting to worship under the sect of the new great master Xu Fu.

It's a pity that Yinglu's wisdom roots are shallow, and he is not called an alchemist. He has the blessing of becoming an immortal with Xu Fu. He apprenticed three times but was rejected from the door and wall three times. In the end, Yinglu also sacrificed himself and knelt outside the gate of the alchemist sect. If he is rejected by Xu Fu this time, he will kneel to death at the gate of the sect. In the end, Xu Fu really couldn't wear him down, so he sent someone to bring Yinglu to the sect.

Xu Fu took Yinglu to the lecture hall, and after Bing retired the middle disciple, the two had a secret conversation for an entire afternoon. I don't know how Xu Fu told him, and finally Yinglu gave up the idea of ​​worshipping under the alchemist. It was not until it got dark that the great alchemist Xu Fu personally sent out the alchemist sect. When the man came out of the lecture hall, the little alchemist in the sect saw that the man named Yinglu had turned into a head full of white hair.

After the incident, Guangxiao and Guangyi had asked Dafang Shi several times, intentionally or unintentionally. When the elixir of longevity seldom goes outside the alchemist sect, why does the great fangshi have such a green eye on this Yinglu? So why not include him directly within the alchemist gate wall? Even if his Wisdom Root is a bit near, at least staying in the sect can be less dangerous.

But every time I ask here, Xu Fu always smiles and doesn't answer. In the end, he inadvertently said to Guibugui again: "Although Yinglu has no connection with my alchemist, he has a wonderful chance. Even without my elixir of life, he will be close to him under chance. Longevity. I might as well be a favored person to help him live long. Maybe one day, when the alchemist runs out of fuel, he can still breathe for a few more years with the help of this person."

At that time, the relationship between Guibugui and Xu Fu was quite harmonious, but that was the case, and Dafang Shi only talked about it here. The old guy wanted to ask for more details, but Xu Fu didn't even bother to read anything.

This matter has nothing to do with returning or not, and he hardly took it to heart. Twenty years later, the monarch of the state of Qi sent someone to ask for a meeting with the great master Xu Fu. Ask Dafang Shi to send his disciples to Linzi to serve as the chief alchemist of the King Qi Palace. Several people with the beginning of the word Guang wanted to guard the master to practice the arts, but in the end it was not the responsibility of the errand. When he arrived in Linzi City, he worked as an alchemist for several years.

The general manager who did not return also did a leisurely job, except praying for the people of Qi on the 15th day of the first day, and refining medicine pills for the royal family of Qi. When there is nothing to do, in addition to accompany King Qi for a banquet every day, he is either wandering the streets of Linzi City, or visiting the houses of civil and military ministers. Since alchemists were not allowed to interfere in the national fortunes of various countries, King Qi had no intention of guarding against him.

One day, Gui Bugui was invited to have a banquet in the residence of Jiang Heng, an important minister of Qi. During the banquet, Jiang Heng introduced Zhang Mingfang, a wealthy businessman from the state of Qi, to him. At that time, when the state of Qi was a monopoly of salt and iron, all smugglers were beheaded and executed. And this Zhang Mingfang was the only private businessman who could sell salt and iron. At that time, let alone the Qi Kingdom, even the entire Seven Kingdoms, this Zhang Mingfang was a wealthy businessman who could rival the country.

After a few glasses of wine, Gui Bugui, who was already familiar, became friends with this Zhang Mingfang. After several exchanges, once drunk, Zhang Mingfang confided the truth to Gui Bugui. He was Yinglu who left the school of alchemists back then. After talking with Xu Fu for an afternoon, Yinglu realized that he had no hope of cultivating Taoism, and returned home and started doing business wholeheartedly to make a living. Over the years, the wind and water have been surprisingly smooth, and soon earned a lot of money

But because of his immortality system, he didn't show age after a few years. In order to steal his property, his relatives began to rumor that he had practiced sorcery and magic, and even went to the government office to report against him. Although it was suppressed by Yinglu's money campaign, the troubles of these relatives again and again made Yinglu very disturbed.

In the end, he devised a plan to divide up part of the family property in advance and hide it somewhere. Afterwards, he pretended to fall off a cliff while he was out to play. When his relatives were robbing the property, Yinglu invited someone to change his appearance. Then he dyed his hair black and appeared in Linzi City under the name of Zhang Mingfang. . With his business acumen and skill, after three or five years, he regained a fortune that was several times higher than his original fortune.

While his former relatives had acquired Yinglu's property, they were content with pleasure and no longer focused on doing business. The retribution was unhappy in the dark, and just when Zhang Mingfang got up again, the original winner fell in the way. Even the ancestral house was sold to outsiders, and after changing hands several times, it came to Zhang Mingfang. In the end, in desperation, the whole family moved away from Linzi and went to the bitter cold land of the Northeast to make a living.

After hearing that Zhang Mingfang, the wealthy businessman in front of him, was the former Yinglu, although he was surprised, it had nothing to do with him, but he didn't take it to heart. In the years that followed, the two were still friends. After another two years, the ruler of the state of Qi, Yan, took the throne of the new ruler.

The new monarch, the new man and the new policy, within a few days, he was relieved of his position as the chief alchemist of the returning court, and one of his relatives became the chief monk. It was enough for him to eat and drink for nothing, and he took it for so many years, so he returned to Fang Shizong without caring about it now.

Before leaving, Zhang Mingfang held a banquet to see him off. During the banquet and feast, the wealthy merchant from the state of Qi dismissed his servants, then took out a small copper box from his side, handed the copper box to Gui Bugui, and said, "Brother Fugui, my brother recently got a treasure. Although I know it's a treasure, but I can't tell where it comes from. Dude is a master of Dafang, so you can definitely see it."

I was half drunk at the time, I took the copper box and opened it, and there was a small turtle shell inside...
