Chapter 76: Brother Geng
Xian'er also noticed Renya's eyes and spoke tentatively to Renya: "Can you see me?"
Renya seemed to have not heard Xian'er's words, but she still looked at her eyes intently. After a long time, she said: "What a beautiful sister!"
She can really see the fairy!
I asked Renya in some surprise: "Can you open your eyes too?"
Her eyes were still staring at Xian'er, but she said to me: "Yes, I have had a heavenly eye since I was born, so envious... Huh? You just said 'I can't, too, do you have a heavenly eye too?"
As she said this, she turned her gaze to my face. She stared at me for a while, and suddenly stuck out her tongue: "You are so fierce."
When she saw Liang Houzai, she said Liang Houzai was beautiful. When she saw Xian'er, she said Xian'er was beautiful. When she came to me, she said I was fierce.
Whoever I call me!
Although I also know that over the years, the yang energy on my body has spawned a faint evil spirit, which is indeed a bit uncomfortable. In addition, my eyes are small, and it looks like a slit from a distance. Liang Houzai also said that my eyes are very important to my master, especially when I look at people, it is the same as when my master squints his eyes to see people. But my skin is white, and I am not so unpopular, right?
This is the first time someone commented on my appearance when I got so old. When I came up, I said that I was fierce. In the past, I thought I didn’t care about appearance, but then I realized that I actually cared a lot.
Xian'er was so happy that she smiled at me thief: "Look, I just said you don't like girls, you're too fierce. Hahaha, you're fierce, it's over, you're destined to be lonely for the rest of your life."
Xian'er's words made me feel annoyed. Renya asked me again at this time, "You are not here to rob, are you? Senior sister, there is a robbery here!"
Lu Renshuang turned her head and glared at Renya fiercely: "Xiao Renya, don't mess around!"
Only then did I know that the girl Renya’s surname is Xiao.
It can be seen that Lu Renshuang is still very intimidating to Renya. Renya stuck out her tongue on the spot, and then ran to Renshuang, holding Renshuang's arm, looking like she was acting coquettish.
Xian'er seemed to have a good impression of Renya, so she also crawled out from my shoulders and went to chat with Renya.
This is the first time since Xian'er became my companion soul, she has been so far away from me. The moment she left my body, I became drowsy, as if something was taken away by her. Even when I walked, my legs were inexplicably weak.
When Lu Renshuang took us into a small road in Dongshi, I heard Xian'er say to Renya: "I'll tell you, you're still young, don't have a boyfriend so early. Look at Liang Houzai, with a peach blossom look on his face, don't play with him."
Renya Hushuo Hushuo blinked his eyes, looked at Xian'er, and said, "I didn't like him, I just saw that he was very shy and wanted to tease him. Alas, why are you living in that robber?"
Xian'er: "I am his companion soul. You don't know who he is, so you hate it. Don't talk to him."
Renya actually nodded to Xian'er seriously: "Well, I ignore him. I'm not a good person at first glance. Oh, sister, you are his companion soul, then you are not miserable. Do you want to be with him every day?"
Xian'er sighed pretendingly: "Oh, isn't it? I'm afraid I'll follow him from now on."
When Xian'er spoke, she turned her head and smiled at me, giving me an inexplicable look.
I couldn't understand her eyes, but I felt a vague feeling. When Xian'er looked at me this time, she no longer had the usual jokes, but she had a strange gentleness. I don't know if it was gentle. In short, when she looked at her, something seemed to be touched and her heart was warm.
Not long after, Renshuang took us to a shop at the end of the road. When I entered the door, I found a blood-colored lantern hanging on the door, but it was a bare lantern with no word on it.
The decorations in the house are very simple, with a long table made of old wood and several chairs. In the center of the house, a middle-aged man in Tang suit was sitting. At this time, he was holding a cup of tea and savoring it carefully.
Renshuang saluted to the middle-aged man: "Uncle Geng."
Renya also licked her face and smiled at the middle-aged man: "Master."
The person in front of me was Senior Brother Geng Youbo, whom Renshuang mentioned to me before. He raised his head calmly, smiled at Renshuang and Renya respectively, then turned to me and said to me in a very peaceful tone: "It's Junior Brother Youdao, I haven't seen you for a few years and I've grown up."
Whether it was his every move or his expression, Senior Brother Geng revealed a calmness in dealing with things. When I heard him speak, my heart calmed down.
I also imitated Renshuang and hugged Senior Brother Geng: "Senior Brother Geng."
When I was with Senior Brother Zhuang and Senior Brother Feng, I was always very casual and never treated so seriously. But when I face Senior Brother Geng, I would unconsciously become so serious.
Senior Brother Geng waved at me: "Junior Brother, come and sit down." Then he said to Renya: "Renya, go and get some hot water back."
Although Xiao Renya looked unrestrained in front of us, she seemed very well-behaved in front of her master. As soon as Senior Brother Geng finished speaking, she ran out to fetch water.
I sat in the seat next to Senior Brother Geng. Senior Brother Geng called Liang Houzai and Lu Renshuang again to let them take pleasure, and then said to me: "I heard that in this year's market, people from Jiufengshan are coming, too?"
Senior Brother Geng spoke without any emotional color, but I could feel that he might have to discuss something with me next.
To be honest, since I joined the master, I have seen fellow disciples, either my uncle or uncle, my senior brother, or my nephew like Renshuang and Renya. For the elders and senior brothers, I am just a half-baby boy with no hair. For the juniors, although I am young, I have a higher seniority than them in the master.
The elders and senior brothers took great care of me, and the nephews respected me very much. Only Senior Brother Geng would put him at the same height as him and discuss some things with me.
It was the first time I felt very equal after entering the master's sect. I have to say that such equality brought me closer to Senior Brother Geng in an instant.
Renya brought hot water at this time and washed it with tea. I picked up the teacup, took a sip, and then said to Senior Brother Geng: "I have heard Senior Brother Feng mention this before, but it is my first time in Ghost Market, and I don't know what Jiufeng Mountain is doing."
"It's a very special sect." Senior Brother Geng said while tapping the table with his index finger on his left hand, "The people in Jiufengshan are the most well-informed people in our industry. Haha, once they come this year, I'm afraid I won't have to do my business."
When Senior Brother Geng said this, he smiled bitterly twice, but I found that he was still normal when he spoke. When he smiled, the sound was extremely dry, just like someone pinching his throat, making it difficult for him to make a sound.
Senior Brother Geng took a sip of tea, as if he wanted to moisten his throat. After a while, he asked me again: "Has my uncle Chai mentioned to you about Jiufengshan?"
If it were Senior Brother Zhuang or Senior Brother Feng asked me this, I would definitely say "No".
But when facing Senior Brother Geng, my voice became particularly pretentious: "I have never mentioned it."
I felt that if I didn't act like this, I would be sorry for Senior Brother Geng's calmness and elegance.
I even feel that I usually speak a little vulgar, but I don’t know why I feel this way.
Liang Houzai probably had the same feeling. Although Liang Houzai was quiet, he usually looked like drinking water and eating, which was not much better than my master. But now he was sitting steadily on the chair, holding a teacup in his hand, sucking it in one mouthful, looking calm.
I know that Liang Houzai is definitely pretending to be like him by force.
Just a minute ago, I thought Senior Brother Geng was probably a very friendly person, but now, I want to leave his shop. I either hate Senior Brother Geng, or I am afraid that if I say something inappropriately, he will look down on me.
Senior Brother Geng seemed to want to ask me what I said, but fortunately, a customer came to the store at this time. Senior Brother Geng could only put down the teacup and said to me with some apology: "You Dao, why not go to the West City to have a look. I remember there is a corpse raising shop there, and you will definitely be interested."
In fact, Senior Brother Geng is giving an order to expel guests. I happened to be not going to stay, so I said goodbye to Senior Brother Geng and took You Renshuang to the West Market.
This is the whole process of my first meeting with Senior Brother Geng. It was very short and there was no big intersection. Even after a while, I almost forgot about Senior Brother Geng's appearance.
But it was this extremely short meeting that made Senior Brother Geng remember me. During the five years when I was 20 to 25, Senior Brother Geng gave me no less help and influence than Senior Brother Zhuang and Feng.
Of course, those are all later stories.
I heard that Senior Brother Geng mentioned the "corpse-raising journey", so I really wanted to take a look.
As early as when I encountered the bronze armored corpse, Liang Houzai mentioned the corpse raising people. From then on, I was full of curiosity about the mysterious and ancient business of corpse raising.
When we passed by West City before, there were not many shops here, but after a while, the door beams of those earthen houses were already covered with red lanterns.
