A few days later, it was another rainy day.
Tang Yan was still in a dilemma about whether to agree to Mo Beiying and cooperate with Qiu Guangming. I stayed at home bored, watching Tang Yan busy outside all day long, but I couldn't do much to help.
After all, it is someone else's family matter. Even if I am one of my own, I can't stretch my hand too far. Moreover, as a family member, I am still self-proclaimed and cannot withstand legality review.
I usually stay at home when I'm bored, and I just surf the Internet and play games. Later, I felt that I was too lazy, and I had to put in some effort to take what others had to offer, so I wiped my home spotless.
But no matter how big Tang Yan's mansion is, there will still be a day when it will be tidied up. But after I finished tidying it up, I found that its stain resistance is much better than that of ordinary homes. Many furnishings only need to be wiped occasionally.
Although it lasts for a year and a half, as for some guest rooms, they themselves have been idle all year round. After one dusting, it may take a certain amount of time to accumulate another layer of dust.
If I go to sweep it again, I'm afraid even Tang Yan will think I'm looking for trouble. In desperation, I can only find another job.
After much thought, I decided to go find Xu Duobao. It was not because the matter last time had not been sorted out, but to go to his shop to relieve my boredom. After all, the craftsmanship passed down from master cannot be lost, and the ability to appreciate antiques is very good.
It cannot be learned in books, it must be learned through practice.
Xu Duobao wished that a free "master" like me could come to his place every day and pay for it with just a few yuan of tea money. No need to think about salary. How could there be such a good deal in the world? So, Xu Duobao treated me like a master every day.
For example, whenever there is a difficult customer, he will ask me to take action. If I successfully win a few big customers, his flattery will flow like running water throughout the day, making me feel ashamed.
That day, near noon, the store door was pushed open and Xu Duobao came back.
I saw Xu Duobao come in, and I was about to say hello, but when Xu Yaxian behind him came into my sight, my face suddenly darkened.
Xu Yaxian wore a goose-yellow gauze skirt today, which completely brought out her charming and charming appearance. She saw the way I looked at her with a shy face, and didn't care. As soon as she entered the door, she glanced at the book shelf.
go.
"Lin Kun, thank you for saving my mother and Yaxian. I was supposed to go to your house, but it was not appropriate for us to go so presumptuously. I just wanted to express my gratitude to you today." Xu Duobao walked up to me.
Next to me, he said while delivering a thick red envelope in front of me.
"Old Xu, what are you doing? I've already taken your things, how can I ask for your money again?" I pushed the red envelope away.
Although this is the income I deserve, as a friend, I have to be humble. This is called favor. If you accept it carelessly, people will feel a little uncomfortable.
Seeing me doing this, Xu Duobao deliberately joked, "Lin Kun, if you don't accept the money, will you stop treating me as your brother? Can't you let me express my gratitude to our friends for so many years?"
"
Since Xu Duobao has said this, of course I can't refuse anymore.
At this moment, Xu Yaxian interjected without hesitation, "Lin Kun, didn't you say last time that many of my second uncle's things came out of ancient tombs?"
"Girl, you really have read too many Tomb Raider Notes! Are you going to spare your own second uncle?" I replied angrily, curling my lips.
"Humph! You said this yourself, not me." Xu Yaxian said as she walked to mine with her hands behind her back.
Beside him, "You brat, I came here today to thank you, not to quarrel with you. If I wanted to quarrel with you, I wouldn't have followed my second uncle here."
When I heard Xu Yaxian say this, I felt a little bit dumbfounded at the time. I asked you to come over to say thank you, but I had to greet you with a smile?
"Hmph! I remember that someone said they wanted to have sex with me when they were leaving the day before yesterday." Xu Yaxian tilted her head and circled around me.
I opened my mouth, but couldn't get the words out.
Xu Yaxian is indeed a difficult girl! She knew that it would be difficult for me to say something too outrageous in front of Xu Duobao. Therefore, when she said this, it was equivalent to blocking my mouth.
Xu Duobao saw that I was speechless with my mouth open, and knowing that Xu Yaxian and I were not dealing with each other, he quickly came out to smooth things over, patted me on the shoulder and said: "Let's go, Lin Kun, to express my gratitude to you, I'll treat you to a drink."
go."
After saying this, he put his mouth next to my ear and whispered: "My niece is really awesome. I am the boss of my old Xu family. You will have something to look at in the future."
I grinned bitterly, thinking that it doesn't matter to me whether Xu Yaxian is strong or not? I'm just a soy sauce person.
However, I happily accepted Xu Duobao's suggestion to go out to eat. On this rainy day, I was bored staying in the store, so I just went outside to get some fresh air.
But at this moment, two other people walked in from outside.
When Xu Duobao saw a guest coming to the door, he naturally greeted him enthusiastically. After they chatted for a few words, he walked quickly to my side and said, "Lin Kun, those two guests want to see you for something."
.”
"What's the matter?" Xu Duobao and I were about to go out for dinner. Of course we didn't want to be disturbed, so we waved our hands and said, "Old Xu, this is your store. You can make the decisions in the store. I'll be there."
There are no acquaintances here, we should still eat."
"But they insist on seeing you by name, and they say they have something very important to talk to you about."
"A very important thing?" After hearing what Xu Duobao said, I looked at the two people standing in the shop.
I saw that the two of them were wearing gray Taoist robes. They should be Taoist priests. Even if they were not in a Taoist temple, they should be monks. They looked just like ordinary people. But when I noticed the tattoos behind their ears
, but the eyes felt as if they had been pricked by needles.
I knew that these two people were definitely strangers, so it seemed that I had to accept them.
I just don’t know how they found me and how they found this place.
Sensing my gaze, two Taoist priests came towards me.
Half a step ahead was an old Taoist priest with gray hair and a face full of wrinkles, like old tree bark; half a step behind, timidly hiding behind the old Taoist priest was a young girl who seemed to be unaccustomed to contact with life.
People seem a little nervous and uneasy.
Seeing that I had something to do, Xu Duobao said hello knowingly and took the initiative to give me the landlord's friendship, but he left first with Xu Yaxian.
Looking at the two uninvited guests in front of me, I really felt a little headache, but I couldn't turn them away and could only welcome them into the reception room.
"Taoist Master please!"
"Be polite."
After closing the door of the reception room, I was about to invite the two of them to sit down. At this time, I saw the old Taoist priest softly chanting a difficult-to-pronounce ancient pre-Qin proverb. At the same time, he closed his hands in front of his left chest and crossed his fingertips.
Make a weird gesture.
"You are reciting ancient poems from the pre-Qin Dynasty
?" Although I am not proficient in this ancient pre-Qin proverb, it is like a craft that makes a living, and you will be able to master it more or less in Yuling.
After hearing my words, a glimmer of light flashed in the old Taoist priest's groggy eyes. His originally slightly stooped waist straightened up a bit, and he solemnly made the same gesture on his right chest, using a kind of gesture.
The strange tune sang again.
"If I'm not wrong, this should be an ancient pre-Qin poem that was circulated in western Sichuan. It was born after the Qin State conquered Shu. However, I am not very knowledgeable and have not been able to understand the deep meaning."
My words are naturally a modest expression. His two pre-Qin ancient sayings and the weird gestures he made are not simple pre-Qin ancient sayings. They are actually "cuts" passed down from generation to generation in the Taoist school. The reason why they are called "cuts" is
It's not really used for connection, mainly because these Taoist schools are quite special. Their main business is not cultivating immortals and refining elixirs, but conquering demons.
When these Taoist priests travel around the world and meet fellow disciples or peers, they will use this "notation" to communicate. Just by listening to ancient poems and observing hand gestures, they can recognize the pulses they belong to.
The old Taoist priest smiled and said nothing, "You are too modest. This set of ancient pre-Qin proverbs by Pindao was passed down from my master, and my master was taught by Taishifu. After all, the real source of this set of ancient proverbs is not from my Taoist sect."
, and in——"
He paused deliberately before continuing: "Yuling!"
Unexpectedly, this old Taoist priest already knew my identity, which made me even more suspicious of their identities. Although I was basically certain that these two people should be demon-conquering Taoist priests in western Sichuan, what I couldn't be sure about was that these two Qianli
Are the Taoist priests who have come from such a far distance an enemy or a friend?
Even if this ancient saying is really passed down by Yu Ling, I can't take it lightly. After all, thousands of years have passed, and the times have changed. What is the purpose of the two Taoist priests who suddenly appeared? Moreover, for those who can be heard as fairy tales
I really don’t have much interest in the old stories about my ancestors.
The old Taoist priest didn't know what I was thinking, so he had a slight smile on his face and said, "It's okay if you don't believe me. I thought it would take a lot of talking to convince you of our identity, but I didn't expect that you actually know the ancient pre-Qin proverbs.
, it’s really rare.”
"To be honest, I am a Taoist priest from Yunxiang Temple in Jiuzhaigou."
"Yunxiang Temple?" As expected, I didn't know this Taoist temple.
"Caiyun, I came to see the Contractor of Gods and Ghosts." This was what the old Taoist priest said to the young female Taoist priest.
Upon hearing this, the female Taoist priest named Caiyun raised her little head that had been lowered, revealing a delicate face. Her eyes quickly glanced at me, then quickly lowered her head, like a frightened little animal, and timidly said:
"I've seen you, your Majesty."
The moment I saw this girl, I suddenly felt a sense of familiarity, as if I had known this girl a long time ago.
Have I seen her before? I frowned slightly and tried to recall the past, but I couldn't find any clues. Because I was too focused on it, I didn't notice at all that when the old Taoist priest looked at me and the girl, the expression on his face
A fleeting look of regret.
"Haha, I forgot to introduce myself. My Taoist name is Yunsheng, and her name is Caiyun. Although she follows me in Taoism, she is not a member of my sect."
The old Taoist priest's sudden words interrupted my thoughts, and I turned my attention from the girl back to the old Taoist priest.
Chapter completed!
