When I returned to the Tianshi Pavilion, I said nothing or did nothing. I just calmly offered a stick of incense to the master, and then poured a glass of wine in front of the master’s tablet as a tribute to him.
Sitting in front of the master's memorial tablet, alone in a daze.
I have experienced so many things this week, and life feels like a roller coaster. Since I met Ren Lingling, my adventures have come one after another, including breaking the head, killing female ghosts, and slaying corpse witches. Each of my experiences is more and more bizarre. When the master was here, I had never been in charge. After the master left, I had to shoulder the responsibility. Thinking about it, I still admire myself. At least I have done the three things the master asked me to do!
I never dreamed that I could be so powerful. Sure enough, I have grown up and I have become the head of the family who can take charge of my own business.
Now, all the dangers on the surface have been lifted, and it is rare for my heart to calm down for a while, but my heart still feels empty, without any sense of achievement or satisfaction. I can only look at the master's spiritual body and think about things. , maybe I was too dependent on him before. The person in front of me...
I glanced at Deng Wanwan who was busy in the kitchen, and realized that I owed her. I rarely accompanied her, and I had not given her the happiness I owed her. It suddenly dawned on me that I made what I thought was the right decision. I cherished the person in front of me, so I decided to take her on an easy-to-go trip.
Seven days passed quickly. Geng Biaobiao also quit his job at the cemetery and returned to the Tianshi Pavilion to help me. However, my senior brother gave him a trick and only left him three thousand yuan to keep for himself. Next, I looked at the house and said in no uncertain terms that I wanted to take Wanwan on a trip.
I knew that this fat man was restless, so I shared Ren Lingling’s WeChat account with him. Regardless of whether it was wishful thinking or not, I would do whatever I could to help. Finally, I also told him that during my absence, he must behave himself and not accept casual calls. Business, as for the third senior brother, he often goes to visit when he has time.
After finishing the explanation, Deng Wanwan and I immediately booked two train tickets to Zhangjiajie on 12306 without stopping, and started our exclusive trip.
Riding on the special train to Zhangjiajie, known as the Holy Land of Wonderland, watching the densely packed passengers talking and laughing in the whole train, I felt that I was still alive, living in a society inhabited by humans. Thinking back to the 'thrilling' experience before, It really feels like a world away.
I moved my eyes out the window. The mountains and rivers flying outside the car window no longer felt beautiful. On the contrary, it was the people in this car that made me feel cherished.
I couldn't help but think to myself: "It would be great if I could be like an ordinary person, working nine to five, having a family, a wife and children, and doing an ordinary job..."
However, I still compromised with reality. Who made me the leader of the Yakuza sect? The purpose of the sect has destined my life to be extraordinary. I don't expect to live an ordinary life.
"The stop ahead is Zhengzhou Station. Passengers getting off the train, please prepare in advance. The train will stop for 5 minutes."
"Oh, we've just arrived in Zhengzhou. We're still seven or eight hours away from our destination! It's so annoying to sit there!" Deng Wanwan couldn't stand the bumpy ride and was getting impatient.
I put my right arm on her shoulder, pinched her chin with my left hand and said, "Hold on. Besides, isn't it wonderful to travel with me? The beauty of the journey is also worth remembering."
Deng Wanwan smiled, rested her head on my shoulder, and said coquettishly: "Yes, no matter when you go out with your husband, it is the most beautiful time."
I took out my mobile phone and checked the time. It was twelve o'clock sharp, so I pulled Deng Wanwan and walked towards the dining car. I even teased her happily and said, "Let's go eat. I'll treat you."
Compared to the crowded passenger compartment, the dining car is much deserted. The high consumption of the dining car has invisibly excluded many people.
After sitting down, I ordered two side dishes to the dining car waiter and urged her to hurry up. Then I glanced blankly around the entire car. A middle-aged man with a goatee and a black round hat caught my attention. Note that there is nothing surprising about his appearance, but his brows reveal the aura of an outsider.
At this moment, he was sitting at the dining table in the corner, drinking coffee and reading a newspaper. The painting tube hanging on his legs was particularly eye-catching.
He put down the newspaper and just picked up the coffee cup. He glanced at me inadvertently. He was a little surprised that I looked at him intently. After just a short while of looking at each other, he also noticed that I was unusual. He put down the cup and sat down. In front of me.
"I, Hu Li, am a wandering individual. It was fate that we met on this train today. May I ask where my brother is from?" The man didn't recognize his life at all and directly gave his name.
"My real name is Zhang Ruoxu, and my Taoist name is Yangsheng. I am from Shihou City, Northern Province. I run a Taoist temple and give people Feng Shui readings and divination."
After I said this, I thought he would laugh at me, but unexpectedly he praised me very much, "When I look at your temperament, I can tell that you are extraordinary. You are different from ordinary charlatans. You have real abilities." of."
I was a little surprised. This person's eyesight was really accurate and he could see my abilities. My intuition told me that this person was extraordinary.
"Since you are an expert, you must have noticed this too!" He patted the painting tube he carried with him. I nodded and said, "This is not a mortal thing."
He took off his round hat and exposed the Mediterranean Sea, and said: "You can't go wrong if you can figure out the extraordinary things in my painting tube. I wonder if my brother is willing to go to my soft bedroom and take a good look at it?"
I nodded and said, "Thank you for your consideration. In this case, you can tell me your carriage number and sleeper number. I'll have dinner with my girlfriend and then go visit her."
"Okay then, I'll take the berth No. 60 in Car No. 5. I'll have the whole room to myself. See you there or not."
After saying that, he put on his hat and turned around and returned to his carriage.
"Yang Sheng, what did you find again? Can't you take me to see it?"
"People without cultivation will not be able to figure this thing out. Obedient, let's eat first. I'll take a look and come back. It'll be fine."
Deng Wanwan was very obedient and didn't ask any questions. She just said "oh" and started to eat with me.
…
When we arrived at the appointed room, the man with the goatee was already waiting for me. Without saying anything, he took out the painting from the painting tube and spread it out for me to admire.
"Brother, this painting must be quite old. It should be a cultural relic with a history of two hundred years."
The man nodded and said: "It is indeed old, but this painting is not just an ancient painting, it is a castle."
I smiled and waved my hand: "There are 240 households in Yancheng, Shuzhou. If you look at this painting, it is clearly a miniature of an ancient town. Where does the castle come from?"
The man smiled again and said seriously: "This painting has its own beauty, just listen to me."
