Ruins of the past

April, the seventeenth year of Yong'an.

The Qingyang Chamber of Commerce’s stock market is getting hotter and hotter.

All kinds of good news are flying all over the sky.

The shareholders of Qingyang Chamber of Commerce have almost invested all their money.

Jiubian Army Town is even more wealthy. Through the Yunzhong Chamber of Commerce, generals at all levels are still investing money in the stock market.

There were even wealthy families from other states who actually brought money.

Even the Northern Wolf Clan, the Immortal Way, or the Huangtian Way in the next state are ready to make a move.

But in the same days, Chu Qiguang began to prepare to quietly ship goods.

At noon that day, Qiao Zhi found Chu Qiguang and said with a strange expression: "Yi Siman wanted to buy stocks but couldn't. Ask me if there is any way."

Chu Qiguang's eyes lit up after hearing this: "Aren't we about to sell stocks? Let's make an appointment with him to meet him."

Qiao Zhi sighed inwardly, as if he had seen a bloody sickle pressed against Yi Siman's head.

Chu Qiguang suddenly remembered something and asked, "By the way, did the kick you gave him last time work?"

Qiao Zhi recalled Yisiman's current appearance, nodded slightly and said, "It should have worked."

…

That night, on a hillside outside Qingyang County.

Yi Siman sat on a big blue stone, looking at the moon in the sky with a lot of thoughts.

‘I’m going to meet the old demon Tongtian again. ’

Thinking of the old demon Tongtian, a strange feeling surged in Yisiman's heart.

More than a year has passed since the last time I met Old Demon Tongtian.

And ever since he received the guidance from this suspected Taoist monster, he has been carefully understanding every word he said.

Yisiman has the habit of keeping a diary.

Just like the diary of that trip to the north, he also recorded the changes in himself over the past year every day.

Just to keep confirming it back and forth and gain new insights.

‘Did I do the right thing this year? ’

At this moment, when he thought about the changes in himself, he couldn't help but open his diary and read through it under the moonlight.

The first page of the diary was the instructions given to him by Tongtian Old Demon, which he recorded.

…

"...Even if you put down the knife in your heart, what about other things..."

"...You not only have to put down the knife, but you also have to put down other obsessions in your heart..."

"...Heavens and beings are reborn, and all things grow..."

…

Yong'an 16 years, the third day of April

What Tongtian said makes sense. I decided to try to let go of my obsession with beauty tomorrow.

In order to say goodbye to my past self, I went to a brothel in Qingyang County.

Fourth day of the Lunar New Year

On the first day I let go of my attachments, I seemed to feel more relaxed, and I seemed to spend more time practicing and meditating every day.

fifth day

Failed……

The sixth day of the lunar month

Continuous failure...

The seventh day of the lunar month

Maybe what Tongtian said is not that right?

The eighth day of the lunar month

Money is gone, human brothels are too expensive. I decided to try letting go of my attachment again.

…

Yisiman shook his head slightly when he saw that in the first few months, he kept picking up and putting down, unable to get rid of the obsession in his heart.

July

It’s been twelve days. I haven’t touched a woman for twelve days this time.

I feel more energetic, have more time every day, and have more money.

September

Put aside your beauty and concentrate on martial arts.

October

I have completely given up.

December

Every thought is pure, and the heart is like a lotus blooming.

Yong'an 17 years, January.

What is the difference between men and women? Where?

…

Yisiman, who was checking his diary, suddenly moved his ears and heard a gust of night wind blowing.

He immediately put away the diary and looked in the direction from which the movement came.

Then he saw a tall and majestic figure coming through the moonlight.

The other person's cheek was shrouded in a mask, it was Tongtian Old Demon.

'He seems to be more unfathomable than he was a year ago. ’

Yi Siman's heart was slightly disturbed, he raised his hands and said: "Senior!"

Chu Qiguang looked at the seven tentacles at the opponent's feet and was slightly surprised: 'The combat effectiveness of two tentacles has been improved in one year? It used to take me a month or two to do this, right? ’

‘This Yi Siman is truly worthy of being the lucky son of the demon clan. ’

Chu Qiguang nodded and said in a deep voice: "You have improved a lot this year."

Yisiman said gratefully: "Thanks to senior's advice, I let go of my attachments and truly embarked on the right path."

Chu Qiguang said: "I heard that you want to buy stocks?"

Yi Siman said: "Yes, the stock price of the Qingyang Chamber of Commerce has skyrocketed, but it is becoming more and more valuable and unmarketable. We also want to get a share of the pie. I wonder if you, senior, can do anything about it?"

Chu Qiguang said lightly: "I do control several human races and bought some shares early."

Yisiman's eyes lit up: "I wonder if senior can give it to us evenly?"

Chu Qiguang sighed: "We are both demon clans, so we should naturally take care of each other. How much money can you give?"

Yi Siman thought about his private money, the contributions from his colleagues, and the contributions from his father, King Ning Hai... Finally he said with some embarrassment, "We can contribute two hundred thousand taels."

Today's Qingyang Chamber of Commerce's stock price is higher than gold. If you buy it, you will make a profit. He feels that buying so much in one go is taking too much advantage of the other party.

Chu Qiguang pondered for a while...

Just when Yi Siman thought that the other party was going to bargain, he heard the other party say: "That's it, I will suffer a little loss. You can bring the two hundred thousand taels."

Yisiman said gratefully: "Thank you very much, senior."

Chu Qiguang said: "No need to thank me, but I see that although you put down one thing in your heart, you picked up another."

"All conditioned phenomena are like bubbles in a dream, like dew or lightning, and should be viewed as such."

Listening to what Tongtian Old Demon said, a thoughtful look flashed across Yisiman's face.

…

After discussing with Yi Siman, he could cash out two hundred thousand taels in one go, but Chu Qiguang was still not satisfied.

‘If we cash out a large amount directly from the market, the impact will be too great. ’

‘We have to find more takeovers privately. ’

Thinking of this, Chu Qiguang looked at the young stock investor Luo Binghong on the side.

Being swept away by the other party, Luo Binghong felt a dangerous aura.

Chu Qiguang didn't say anything. He just smiled and asked Wang Cailiang: "How many shares do we have now? How much can we earn if we cash out all of them?"

Wang Cailiang calculated: "We started buying stocks from 1 tael and 9 yuan, and bought as the price went up. We invested 450,000 taels of silver and bought 180,000 shares."

"If we can sell them all next...then we can get 1 million taels of silver..."

He trembled slightly and said: "In this case, we will make at least 550,000 taels in this wave."

Qiao Zhi, who was in Chu Qiguang's arms, seemed very excited after hearing this. He sighed in his heart: 'Oh, if I could trade stocks with Chu Qiguang in my previous life, I wouldn't have to work every day. ’

Luo Binghong on the side has been following Chu Qiguang from beginning to end, knowing that the other party should have made a lot of money.

But at this moment, I was shocked when I heard these numbers: ‘This stock... is so profitable? ’

Thinking that the other party had made so much money in less than a month.

Chu Qiguang suddenly became mysterious in her heart, even more shocking than the strength he showed that day.

She was also very resentful at this moment, and she really hated that she didn't have the opportunity to buy stocks.

She shouted in her heart: 'He is right, if you buy it, you will make money! ’

Chu Qiguang looked at Luo Binghong, whose face kept changing and her cheeks were slightly flushed, and suddenly asked: "Do you want to buy stocks?"
