The whole weird world is waiting for me to go to heaven

Chapter 458 White Banners Like the Sea
"Girl, I remember you."

After going upstairs, Taotao saw Liu Sheng and the first thing he said was this.

"You brought a little bear trick here for purification."

"Yes." Liu Sheng nodded.

"So what do you want to achieve by coming here this time and talking so much?" Taotao smiled like Maitreya Buddha, waiting for Liu Sheng's answer.

Liu Sheng looked at Tao Tao steadily and said, "I want you."

Taotao was completely caught off guard and was stunned.

"what?"

"You should be a master of refining, right?"

"That's right." Taotao nodded, a little dazed.

"That's fine. Our Qingyun Pavilion wants to hire you, Master Taotao." Liu Sheng said seriously.

[Need a master of refining? Then hire directly from the boss! ]

Liu Sheng and the others were all excited in their hearts.

They made this judgment based on Tao Tao's craftsmanship demonstrated last time. In addition, the fact that she could work in Xiaoxiang Tower represented her ability.

In addition, considering her age, she must have ten years of experience in refining equipment.

"Wait, wait, wait, where did your Qingyun Pavilion come from?"

Tao Da emerged from the corner of the attic like a thin fungus and said, "We... although it seems that we are riding on the fame of Xiaoxiang Tower, to be honest, behind it is really..."

Liu Sheng shook his head, looked at Tao Tao who had no expression on his face and said, "Yes, so what?"

"Do you think that the owner of Xiaoxiang Tower will take care of you after he returns?"

"In fact, he just used you to get rid of a batch of goods and then disappeared without a trace, right?"

The spiritual light flickered and then went out.

The attic fell into darkness.

Liu Sheng could see clearly in the dark. Tao Da gritted his teeth and was about to take out a spirit bead and put it in, but Tao Tao stopped him and lit a candle instead.

The flickering candlelight illuminated the two people's waxy pale faces, and Liu Sheng knew that he was right.

So she continued, "They are short of money and busy, so they can't take care of you."

"And your alley, I just walked along it and I also saw that it has become quite deserted..."

"The situation is changing, and with the survival crisis imminent, these industries will either become a way to numb themselves or completely decline."

How could Tao Da and Tao Tao, who have been struggling at the bottom of society for a long time, not know what Liu Sheng said?

Although these words were indeed Liu Sheng's spur-of-the-moment idea, they were also inferred based on his observations today and through comprehensive information analysis of the world.

So, what I said hit a sore spot for both of them.

"Yes... Mr. Huang's shop next door has also closed down." Tao Da murmured, "Those men and women were sent back home. They said that the nobles in the capital were not interested in doing such things, and the passing merchants were also in a hurry."

"Only Chang'an is peaceful. Outside of Chang'an, who has the money and energy to do this?" Tao Tao said coldly, "It's better to buy a few more evil-repelling mirrors to be on the safe side."

"Besides, if the temple is really built, most of our work will be cut off." Tao Da said dejectedly, "It's really unfair to Tao Tao's craftsmanship here..."

"It's just that Hongfu Hall is the only one in the industry. Their weapon-making masters are all employed by the Ministry of Industry, and we can't squeeze in."

"I don't have the money to open a proper equipment refining shop for you... Equipment refining requires materials, costs, and a storefront, which we don't have."

The more Tao Da spoke, the more frustrated he became, hunched over like a dejected reed.

Taotao shook his head silently and patted his brother's thin shoulders with his big hands.

Thinking of this, the two looked at Liu Sheng.

"So, in this situation, do you still think Qingyun Pavilion can survive?" Tao Tao asked in a deep voice, his round face tense.

Liu Sheng nodded: "What we do...is exactly what is needed now."

"For example, the evil-repelling mirror you just mentioned was produced by Qingyun Pavilion."

When they heard this, they looked at each other with some surprise.

Liu Sheng continued, "We have another big thing to do next, which will benefit the people's livelihood and we urgently need a master of refining equipment."

She once again displayed a page of light screen for demonstration. This page only had a rough sketch and was only released for three breaths.

But in just three breaths, Tao Tao was completely attracted, her eyes did not turn away, and after Liu Sheng put away the light curtain, she still looked unsatisfied. "If you are interested, go to Qingyun Pavilion in Qinglongfang before tomorrow afternoon and meet all the owners and managers. If there is no problem, you can be hired."

……

After leaving Xiaoxiang Tower, Liu Sheng asked the world: [According to your observation, has it worked? ]

The world said: [96.54% chance of success, they just need to pretend and raise their value. ]

【This is normal. 】

[However, I didn't expect that you were so optimistic about Tao Tao that you kept thinking about him. ]

Liu Sheng looked back at the dilapidated and deep alley, which seemed to be shrouded in darkness in the depths, and he sighed silently.

[I just think she shouldn't be buried here. ]

After telling Cuicui on the spiritual message that there would be a meeting with the weapon-refining master the next day and that he would also be there, Liu Sheng hurried back to the academy.

I have two articles on hand that need to be finished quickly.

Ever since she learned about a future that made her doubtful, Liu Sheng felt that time was increasingly pressing.

Time waits for no one, not even the cold night.

……

Chang'an, Lu family.

Wen Weilan brought Cuicui in, and saw a sea of ​​white flags fluttering in the wind, like wandering white tentacles, sweeping over the pale-faced Lu family members below, who were dressed in linen clothes, as if to swallow them up and turn them into complete zombies.

Deep in the mourning shed, covered by layers of pale cloth, was a coffin, dimly blending into the faint candlelight. The shadows of the cloth strips were like wriggling tentacles, seemingly waiting for an opportunity to move.

Several people were kneeling inside, with only their backs visible. Sobbing cries sounded in the shadows, weak and suppressed, floating out in fragments and scratching at the heart.

Cuicui looked at the strange scene inside and couldn't help but tightly grasp the corner of Wen Weilan's clothes, whispering: "Miss, why do I feel...something is not right."

Wen Weilan let Cuicui hold him, his eyes fixed on the depths of the mourning shed. The strange energy in his body surged, and he seemed to sense the disturbing atmosphere within.

Looking around, the yard was crowded with people, and almost all the noble families in the capital had sent people to pay their respects.

These well-dressed, solemn-looking mourners stood around, some talking in low voices, some remaining silent, creating a heavy and depressing atmosphere.

Wen Weilan even saw several familiar faces from the National Academy. It seemed that although he was busy with his studies, he still had to observe these formalities.

only……

"Why don't they go in?" Cui Cui also felt strange and asked in a low voice.

Wen Weilan shook her head, indicating that she didn't know.

However, the answer soon became apparent.

A young man who had just arrived wanted to enter the mourning shed, but was politely stopped by the old maid guarding the door.

"It's not time yet." The old nanny said calmly.

The young man frowned in confusion and asked impatiently, "When will it be? I'm in a hurry, isn't it just a formality?"

"It will be time soon."

The old lady was not annoyed by this. She remained calm and turned to look into the darkness deep in the mourning shed.

"When exactly?" the young man frowned and asked impatiently.

Judging from his temper, he seems to be of high status, as he dares to shout like that.

At this time, footsteps were heard in the mourning hall, and then a middle-aged woman with white hair came out tremblingly, supported by her maid. Her face was as pale as white paper, as if her entire vitality had been drained by endless grief.

"The son of the Marquis of Yiyong." The woman immediately revealed his identity upon seeing him. "After your father returned victoriously, you were also very busy. Now that you can come in person to pay your respects, the Lu family is deeply grateful."

Her voice was weak, but her tone was firm and resolute.

"But please wait a moment. We can start once everyone is gathered."

Don't hit a smiling person. Although the woman didn't smile, she was polite. The prince of Yiyong Marquis didn't want to get angry. He just frowned and asked, "What are you going to start?"

"Let's begin..."

The woman's eyes were stern, her lips were slightly pursed, and her voice was chillingly cold.

"spiritualism."

The candlelight flickered, the smoke curled up, and the mourning shed seemed even quieter.
