Chapter 46
Judging from his appearance alone, this man fits the description in ancient books as "a modest gentleman, gentle as jade." Although he didn't know him, Fang Shao still recognized him from his iconic outfit.
Yin Qianshang's subsequent introduction also confirmed Fang Shao's guess. "Boss Fang, this is the Danzhi Elder of Qingyutan, Ouyang Shaogong."
"Shao Gong, this is Boss Fang."
"Hello, Mr. Ouyang." Fang Shao said with a smile.
"Hello, Mr. Fang." Ouyang Shao bowed politely. Judging from his appearance, no one would guess that this person is the big boss behind the world of Gujian Qiji.
Although his appearance was unexpected, it was reasonable. After all, Yin Qianshang had the card in his hand, and as the boss's spy on the protagonists, he would tell them everything about the Yuan Bar sooner or later.
In fact, this was the first villain Fang Shao faced.
Long Ming doesn't count. After all, he was only there to solve the drought in the Demon Realm, and he had no personal grudges with anyone else. As long as it didn't hinder his mission and didn't violate his ideals as a king, he could be friendly and harmless. Feng Xi was at the other extreme. He was beaten in by Infinity, and he attacked Fang Shao nakedly from the beginning, and was directly suppressed by the bar.
"Where's the young hero Baili?" Fang Shao asked with a smile when he didn't see the familiar figure. "Why didn't he come this time?"
"My benefactor has returned to Tianyong City, saying that he wants to send the immortal wine to his master to heal his injuries. Although he looks cold, he is actually quite filial to his master. Look, he even asked us to bring the immortal ganoderma that he brought back with great effort to Qingyutan."
"So you've already returned from the sea." Fang Shao nodded. Yin Qianshang's seemingly casual words explained the current situation clearly.
"Although Boss Fang is guarding this tavern, he knows everything about what's happening in the outside world." Ouyang Shaogong glanced at Yin Qianshang, then turned to Fang Shao and smiled.
"No, no. I'm just an ordinary bar owner, but I have a little more information than others."
"Boss Fang, you still call him ordinary?" Yin Qianshang said exaggeratedly. "The location of your wine shop is uncertain, sometimes it is in the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor, sometimes it is in a foreign land, and now it appears in Qingyutan..."
"Tsk tsk, I don't know of any other tavern like this. And that bottle of immortal wine, I've always been thinking about it. If my benefactor hadn't said he wanted to give it to his master to make medicine, I would have been tempted to steal it and drink it."
"Thank you very much." Fang Shao smiled as he listened to the compliment. He opened a bottle of champagne, poured three glasses of wine, and pushed two of them to the two guests. "I feel embarrassed when the guests compliment me so much."
"It turns out that you can get some alcohol by saying nice things. Haha, it seems that I, the old drunkard, will have to praise Boss Fang more often in the future." Yin Qianshang picked up a glass and drank it all in one gulp.
Ouyang Shaogong's eyes darkened, but his smile remained gentle. "This wine has a light flavor, but a unique style. It may also come from another world like the immortal wine."
"I guess so." Fang Shao nodded. To the ancient sword world, the real world is also considered another world. "Try it?"
"Shao Gong is not a wine lover," Ouyang Shao Gong shook his head, and he took out two jade bottles from his arms. "But as a doctor, I am interested in the bottle of immortal wine bought by Baili Shao Xia. I wonder if these pills can be exchanged for a bottle?"
Fang Shao glanced at the inventory. The "Ancient Dreams" he bought before the Spring Festival were still there, but should he buy a bottle for the big boss in front of him?
Unlike the previous buyers of "Ancient Dreams", although Ouyang Shaogong still maintained a gentle and polite shell on the outside, his inner self had already collapsed and shattered. "Ancient Dreams" aroused such a fierce reaction in Tu Su, and I'm afraid he would perform a large-scale schizophrenia on the spot in front of the big boss...
Fang Shao thought for a moment. Seeing that he didn't reply, Yin Qianshang misunderstood his silence and said with a smile, "Boss Fang, you said I have a quota to buy wine, right? How about I buy it for you?" He took out a card, took the medicine bottle from Ouyang Shaogong, and handed it to Fang Shao with a smile.
Fang Shao sighed helplessly. He had to keep his word. Anyway, the effect of the immortal wine was good in the end. "Then let's see if these are enough." He said this, but he had a premonition in his heart.
[This is a bottle of low-quality marrow cleansing pills mixed with demonic power, 10 pills in total, with strong side effects. Estimated value: 400,000 yuan, would you like to trade? ]
[This is a bottle of cleverly designed Qinggu Dan, 20 pills in total. Taking a small amount can fight poison with poison and eliminate toxins in the body. Estimated price: 600,000 yuan. Do you want to trade? ]
The big boss's vision and financial resources were indeed on point. The value of just two bottles of elixirs was almost the same as the weapons and accessories that Tu Su had worked so hard to collect.
Ouyang Shaogong looked at the screen that appeared, but his eyes dimmed slightly.
This boss Fang really has the ability to identify elixirs. Even Lei Yan, the elder of the Qingyu Altar, couldn't identify the Cleansing Marrow Pill, but here he saw through the demonic power mixed in it at a glance.
If Tu Su really brought the Shuming Pill here...
Although he had already laid the groundwork by saying "I saw the prescription in an ancient book, but never tried it", Tu Su would not suspect him after the Su Ming Dan was exposed. However, his long-term plan would be in vain.
Tu Su was a tough person to begin with, and he was not as resentful of his own injustice and suffering as he thought. Without the trigger of his resurrected mother, how could he bring Tu Su to the brink of collapse?
Ouyang Shaogong fell into deep thought. This Boss Fang...
There was a gleam of sternness in his eyes.
But before that, he still had some questions to ask.
Fang Shao didn't notice the big boss's expression. Seeing Yin Qianshang nodded in confirmation nonchalantly, he went back to the warehouse and took out a bottle of "Ancient Dreams".
After getting the immortal wine, Yin Qianshang, who had previously said that he could not forget it, did not ask to taste it this time. It was not known whether it was because he did not dare to offend Ouyang Shaogong, or because the experience of drinking it last time was not as good as he said, so that even this drunkard lost interest.
Ouyang Shaogong also looked indifferent, as if he had forgotten his attitude when buying the wine just now. He didn't even look at the precious bottle of wine, and lightly flicked his sleeves, and the bottle in Yin Qianshang's hand was put away by him.
"Boss Fang just said that he has a unique source of information. I wonder what kind of channel it is. Could you let me hear it too?" Ouyang Shaogong said.
Hey, Big Boss, is he going to get to the bottom of this?!
Fang Shao half leaned on the bar, a half-smile on his face. "This is my business secret, it's not appropriate for the customer to ask this." He realized that rather than saying Ouyang Shaogong was trying to buy wine, it would be better to say that he was testing something. And he obviously got the result, and now his expression became much colder.
"'If you do something too much, your destiny will end early.' Boss Fang once asked Baili Shaoxia to bring this sentence to me. What does it mean?" Ouyang Shaogong changed the subject.
If you do things too much, your fate will end early.
Fang Shao was stunned. He saw that Ouyang Shaogong was still deceiving Tu Su to go out to sea to look for Xianzhi, and he thought that he didn't care about his suggestion at all. He didn't expect him to suddenly raise this question at this time.
"Mr. Ouyang, what do you think is your destiny? Or in other words, what is most important to you in this world?" Fang Shao asked tentatively.
“People who practice Taoism should keep their hearts pure and desires few, and cultivate their minds and tempers. Although I am not very advanced in practice, I don’t value anything in particular except the green jade altar and medical skills.” Ouyang Shaogong’s face showed a bit of indifference, and he really looked like a heartless immortal Buddha.
"In that case, Mr. Ouyang, why bother with this? Just treat it as a joke." Okay, you are the person involved, you have the final say.
Ouyang Shaogong smiled lightly, "A joke? Shaogong doesn't dare to take Boss Fang's words as a joke. The events of Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum were all within Boss Fang's expectations, so Boss Fang should also know what Lei Yan said before his death."
"Isn't it just to curse you to be lonely forever?" Fang Shao picked up the remaining glass of champagne on the bar and played with it boredly. "Didn't Mr. Ouyang just say that people who practice immortality have no distractions. Loneliness is the price to pay for practicing immortality. Why do you care?"
Fang Shao looked into Ouyang Shaogong's eyes and said, "It's impossible that Elder Danzhi is still thinking about the beauty of the red sleeves and the harmony of the harem."
Ouyang Shaogong said in a deep voice, "What does Boss Fang mean by this?"
Yin Qianshang, who was standing by, immediately understood that Fang Shao had touched Shao Gong's sore spot for some reason, and he did not come out to make jokes like usual. He just pondered Fang Shao's last words in his mind.
The beauty of the red sleeves, the harmony of the zither and the harp…
Could it be that the person that Shao Gong was looking for in Lei Yan's words was a woman? Suddenly, the young couple that Yin Qianshang had seen in the Memory City of the Sea of Thunderclouds appeared in his mind.
"Mr. Ouyang, since you are here to ask me a question, you might as well be frank." Fang Shao put down his wine glass and said in a deep voice, "To be honest, I know what you want to ask, and I also know the answer."
"You really know?!" Ouyang Shaogong's expression finally changed.
"Penglai fairyland, beautiful women are like dreams."
As soon as Fang Shao finished speaking, Yin Qianshang also blurted out.
"Princess Xunfang..."
Ouyang Shaogong was startled, and he looked at Yin Qianshang. Yin Qianshang smiled bitterly and said, "When we went out to sea to look for the immortal mushroom, we saw several illusions in the ruins of a sea of thunderclouds, which kept repeating the scenes from many years ago."
"Illusion..." Ouyang Shaogong's expression was dazed for a moment, and he said in a deep voice, "Xunfang is really not dead. Where is she now?"
Fang Shao smiled. "Mr. Ouyang, the question now is, why should I tell you?"
He was not stupid, and finally figured out the boss's purpose. The other party did not want to buy wine at all, but wanted to test whether he really had the ability to identify drugs. He had promised Tu Su to help him identify the resurrection drug made by Shao Gong. This violated the boss's taboo.
"you?!"
"If I'm not mistaken, once I tell you the answer, Mr. Ouyang will go on a killing spree."
“No, no.” Yin Qianshang waved his hands quickly, “Boss Fang, you worry too much.”
Ouyang Shaogong smiled coldly, not paying any attention to Yin Qianshang. "Boss Fang, that's not up to you." His eyes were cold, his face was as heavy as water, and a huge and solemn aura spread in the bar.
"What's wrong?" Feeling that the atmosphere outside was not right, Dave also walked out of the operating room and approached Fang Shao.
Although Yin Qianshang was trying to smooth things over just now, when he saw the current situation, he immediately stood next to Ouyang Shaogong.
"Meow~" Orange, who was taking a nap on the cat climbing frame, was also woken up from his sleep.
Several people in the bar were standing on opposite sides of the bar, and the tense atmosphere was about to explode.
Just at this moment, the door creaked open and the sound of wind chimes rang out.
Two more guests walked into the bar.
