Gaiden Chapter 2: Shen Zaixian
Shen Zexian was born in a wealthy businessman in Huaizhou City. He had an older brother, Shen Zexicai, and a younger brother, Shen Zexicai. Shen Zexian's father, Shen Zhongliang, valued his brother Shen Zexicai very much. A business prodigy, his younger brother Shen Zexian worked hard to gain fame, but Shen Zexian was considered a waste by his father. Although Shen Zexian was not as good at business as his brother, Shen Zexian knew the importance of human relationships, and Shen Zexian often It was a loss-making business in order to pay favors. His brother Shen Leicai had already begun to take control of the family business when he was twenty-six years old. Moreover, the young and promising Shen Leicai had already married a beautiful wife and had a son. He is a cute child. Shen Zexian, who is two years younger than his brother, can only go out to do business to find his own sense of existence. But a sudden change happened at this time. Shen Zexian has been away from home for more than four years. , suddenly heard that there had been a severe drought in my hometown for three years, and the imperial court sent the prince to personally provide disaster relief. The prince's first step when he came to Huaizhou City was to confiscate the homes of many local wealthy businessmen, including the Shen family. After learning about this, many friends Shen Zexian was advised not to go back, but Shen Zexian had already made up his mind to go back. Just the day before Shen Zexian was to go back, a mysterious man came to him. This person was the Blood Lion. Shen Zexian that year Zexian was only twenty-four years old, and the blood lion looked like he was only in his early thirties. Shen Zexian didn't know why this person came to him. At this time, the blood lion said: "I am on the run now. You may not believe it, but your It's going to rain soon in my hometown of Huaizhou. As long as you do as I say, I guarantee you will be prosperous and wealthy!"
Although Shen Zexian didn't believe the person in front of him, but now Shen Zexian had nothing worth deceiving, so Shen Zexian listened to this person's words. Shen Zexian also asked the blood lion and said: "How can you help me like this?" ,what do you want?"
The blood lion took off his robe at this time, revealing a weathered face, and said: "I want you to help me rebuild the blood gate!"
Shen Zexian looked at the man in front of him. He had gray hair but a face that looked like he was only in his thirties. His eyes were very bright and the beard on his face was already gray. Shen Zexian couldn't tell what was going on in this man's mind. , but the next day he and the Blood Lion embarked on a journey back to their hometown. Shen Zexian also sold all the shops and returned to Huaizhou City with a lot of money. Along the way, Shen Zexian saw a large number of victims. I couldn't help but beat the drum again in my heart, but Shen Zexian was arrested as soon as he entered Huaizhou City. However, the blood lion had already told Shen Zexian that he must see the prince. When Shen Zexian was arrested, he shouted: "I have a way to pray for rain! I want to see the prince!"
That night in prison, Shen Zexian asked the Blood Lion, "How sure are you?"
The blood lion smiled slightly and said: "I never joke with my life."
Sure enough, Shen Zexian was taken away that night and secretly went to see the prince. Shen Zexian was taken to a small room, surrounded by people. In the middle sat a big man with a livid face and a very young age. He must be in his thirties. He had his eyes closed and didn't know what he was thinking about. Shen Zexian knew that this person was Zhu Hongyuan, the current king of Yi. Shen Zexian climbed two steps before and kowtowed and said: "The untouchable Shen Zexian kowtows to see the king of Yi!"
At this time, Zhu Hongyuan slowly opened his eyes and said: "Shen Zexian, you said you have a way to pray for rain. You must know that the lives of your family are in my hands. If you dare to lie to me, you will know the consequences. "
After hearing this, Shen Zexian kowtowed again and said, "I only need one month to pray for rain according to my method!"
After hearing this, Zhu Hongyuan stood up. The expression on his face was somewhat invisible in the dim room. He only heard a cold word: "I only give you half a month."
After saying that, Zhu Hongyuan walked out of the door. At this time, Shen Zexian breathed a sigh of relief. Everything was under the calculation of the Blood Lion. The next step was the next step. From then on, the Shen Mansion once again opened the warehouse twice a day to release grain. Within a few days, Shen Zexian spent all his money. At this time, a woman appeared next to Shen Zexian. This person was Lu Xue'e, who had played with Shen Zexian since childhood. This woman's family was also a businessman. Later, she relied on the Shen family for relief. Now Lu Xue'e used her savings to support Shen Zexian. Shen Zexian was also very moved. However, more than ten days had passed and there was still no rain. In the blink of an eye, the last day of the deadline came. Shen Zexian Zexian didn't sleep all night. When he got up early, Shen Zexian found white clouds in the sky. Shen Zexian knew that if it didn't rain today, he would be killed. At this time, the blood lion could not be found. Shen Zexian could only act as usual. The warehouse was opened to put grain, but today Zhu Hongyuan was also there. He closed his eyes and rested under the pavilion without saying a word. When it was time to put grain for the last time in the afternoon, Lu Xue'e came to Shen Zexian's side and stayed with Shen Zexian until The last disaster victim walked out of Shen's house. Shen Zexian sat down on the ground at this time. Shen Zexian's face was ashen and he said to Lu Xue'e: "You should leave quickly. I...will definitely marry you in my next life."
Seeing the desperate Shen Zexian, Lu Xue'e also burst into tears. At this time, Zhu Hongyuan stood up, and his men on the side also took out handcuffs, preparing to arrest Shen Zexian. At this moment, a strong wind blew and there were more dark clouds in the sky. He got up, and then a flash of lightning flashed across, and heavy rain fell from the sky. Seeing the heavy rain, Shen Zexian looked up to the sky and howled. Lu Xue'e on the side also hugged Shen Zexian and laughed. At this time, the blood lion also appeared at the door. , Shen Zexian’s fate changed from then on.
The heavy rain fell all night, and everything began to recover. King Yi Zhu Hongyuan was also very happy. He not only released Shen Zexian's family members, but also returned some of Shen Zexian's property. However, just the day before it rained, Shen Zexian's brother The whole family committed suicide in prison, and his father also died of depression shortly after he was released from prison. Because of this incident, Shen Zexian gained great popularity, and the family business also improved. Soon he became the richest man in Huaizhou City, and Shen Zexian also Married Lu Xue'e as his wife, and soon after, Lu Xue'e also gave birth to a son and a daughter to Shen Zexian. Blood Lion also began to refine elixirs in Shen Mansion, but Shen Zexian also discovered that Blood Lion began to secretly contact the prince. Shen Zexian later Only then did they learn that the Blood Gate technique can delay human aging, and the Blood Lion successfully attracted Shen Zexian to join the Blood Gate and began to practice the Blood Gate technique.
But at this time, something unexpected happened again. Shen Zexian's younger brother, Shen Zezhen, was caught cheating when he was taking the imperial examination. The emperor had already found out about this and wanted to be executed immediately. This incident made Shen Zexian worried, but At this time, the Blood Lion found Shen Zexian and said, "I have a way. I will contact the prince to reassure you."
Shen Zexian also believed in the blood lion, and Shen Zexian also spent a lot of money to take care of everything. Finally, the prince responded. The court wanted to establish a business channel for transporting goods. The prince asked Shen Zexian to pay, but Shen Zexian had no choice in the end. Agreeing, King Yi Zhu Hongyuan also successfully established the Yun Gang, but this investment allowed Shen Zexian to successfully open up the road to business. In two or three years, Shen Zexian's net worth increased several times, and the Blood Lion His appetite is getting bigger and bigger, so he goes to Shen Zexian to recruit boys and girls to make elixirs for the prince. At this time, Shen Zexian is getting deeper and deeper, and his courage is getting bigger and bigger, so he secretly recruits boys and girls. During this period, many people came to make trouble, but they were all dealt with by the wise and capable King Yi. What really made Shen Zexian angry was that one year King Yi Zhu Hongyuan came to Huaizhou as a guest. At this time, the Jubao Villa had been established. This time Zhu Hongyuan also brought Shen Zezhen after five years of imprisonment. However, at this time, Shen Zezhen had been tortured to the point of going crazy and could not communicate with normal people. Shen Zexian looked at his biological brother covered in Despite his scars, he still had to smile at Zhu Hongyuan and secretly decided to leave Huaizhou City. After Zhu Hongyuan left, Shen Zexian began to build Treasure Island and also began to search for Fairyland Island. Unexpectedly, Shen Zexian discovered that he His son Shen Fu has already become a disciple of the Blood Lion and joined the Blood Sect. It’s not okay for his son to have no intention of doing business. Now that Shen Zexian is getting older, he must find a successor. The middle-aged Lu Xue’e is also depressed all day long. Shen Zexian still loves Lu Xue'e very much, so he thought of holding a treasure gathering conference. There was no human life transaction in the first treasure gathering conference, and the tasks on the note were also very simple. In order to make Lu Xue'e happy, Shen Zexian did the second thing at this time. The happy thing is that the blood lion's eldest apprentice Jin Long got married to his favorite daughter Shen Ge. Jin Long is also very business-savvy. Shen Zexian also handed over the business to his son-in-law Jin Long, but Shen Zexian didn't know Because of the treasure gathering, Shen Zexian aroused the jealousy of some people in the world. During a business trip, his son-in-law and his family died tragically and were murdered. The autopsy person said to Shen Zexian: "The murderers were at least three. People from the sect.”
