334. The Bagua Gate
"It's been an hour by car, it's pretty fast," Zhuge Yinglong nodded and said, tidying up his tie in the mirror behind the elevator.
Today is a big day, as grand as a memorial for him, so grand that he even changed out of the inherent set of white-washed ripped jeans on his body and put on a slim-fitting suit.
Of course, this suit was given to him by Li Zimu......
"Today's weather is very good, hahaha......"
"If you don't speak, keep your breathing steady, you're not so nervous"
Pudding glanced at him and said expressionlessly, this kid has everything in his head now, not only some movie clips, but also some lyrics or something......
"Uh...... Is it so obvious......" Zhuge Yinglong hurriedly rubbed the somewhat wet paper ball in his hand and smiled awkwardly.
"What's the panic, just go and have a trip" Li Zimu smiled, in this case, ordinary people will be nervous, after all, it is not simply to go to the banquet, but to kill someone, the person who killed is still his biological father......
"Mmmm, you can't see it, right?" Zhuge Yinglong took a deep breath and touched his face towards the elevator, this shadowless silkworm mask is really magical, when I didn't put it on, I felt that Li Zimu spent so much money to buy it, I just couldn't figure it out, and now I think, well, it's not a loss......
The elevator door opened, and the three of them walked towards the hall outside, Li Zimu took out the room card and left the room, and threw the car key to Zhuge Yinglong, who took the car key with interest and went to drive.
"What do you think are the chances of success for this kid?" Pudding looked at Zhuge Yinglong's back and said to Li Zimu next to her, she is no longer called Brother Zimu, and she doesn't even call her name......
"Thirty percent, it's all overestimated......" Li Zimu shook his head and said, Zhuge Yinglong can play some clever tricks, but he is too young and does not hide deep enough.
According to Li Zimu's speculation about Zhuge Zheng in his mouth, this person should also be an old fox, and it is impossible to say that he will be exposed when the time comes......
"Poor ......" Pudding shook his head, with a look of pity, but there was no pity in his eyes, but there was a sense of excitement......
The car drove out of the hotel parking lot and drove towards Xihua Avenue, and the car navigation showed that it was only 30 kilometers, and it was almost an hour to arrive.
"We are a gate sect, we have to press a little bit to pass, in order to have a row of noodles" Zhuge Yinglong said while driving the car, he was trying to adapt to his identity as a disciple of the Diancang faction, and looked at the watch on his wrist, half past nine in the morning.
Today's weather is indeed very good, the sun is big, and it is not hot, and there is no smell of rain during the Qingming Festival.
Li Zimu didn't talk, Zhuge Yinglong said by himself, and he didn't have anything to say, so he drove by himself.
An hour of time is not long, it is not short, the traffic lights on the road are also unimpeded, the green light saves a lot of time, but in more than 40 minutes, the car entered the fork in the fourth section of Shuyuan Avenue.
"Zhuge Village is in front...... Zhuge Yinglong turned the steering wheel, and the car turned towards the fork in the road, he was very familiar with this place, after all, it was a place from childhood to adulthood.
After so many years, this place has not changed at all, he looked at the scenery on the side of the road and thought to himself, most of the wanderers returned home with some joy in their hearts, even if Zhuge Yinglong's purpose this time was not simple, but there were still some expectations.
Zhuge Village is almost inseparable from villages all over China today, with flat buildings, cement roads, street lights, street signs, and cars coming and going.
Today is Qingming, the day of going to the grave, those who are close to home will come back to give the ancestors incense, and by the way they will have a meal or something, and those who are far away from home will be taken care of by the people at home.
Some of the graves on the hillside have been covered with colored paper, indicating that this tomb has an heir, and is not an ownerless orphan grave, so as to avoid destruction, and of course there are some other rules in it, which I will not go into detail here.
From time to time there was a sound of grave cannon in the distance, and on the road in front of the car, there was a surname archway similar to the mountain gate, on which were written three big characters of Zhuge Village, and there were pairs on both sides.
In the past, it was the boundary of Zhuge Village, Zhuge Yinglong drove the car slower, and pressed the windows down.
From time to time, a family walks by the roadside, this is the authentic countryside, and it is also the appearance of most rural villages in China now.
Most of these people walking on the side of the road are ordinary and honest villagers, although they are the aborigines of Zhuge Village, but most of them are honest farmers.
After all, the big guys all want to eat, and they sit at home every day, reciting the Tao in their mouths, but no one will send you food.
The village is very large, much larger than ordinary villages, after all, there is a sect living here.
"This mountain is the territory of Zhuge Baguamen"
Zhuge Yinglong parked the car on the side of the road, pointed to the mountain in front of him and said, it is also a mountain gate, and you can't see the road when you turn a corner behind the mountain gate, and then you can see the road again on the mountainside.
Some buildings can be seen on the hill, with pavilions and tiled houses with spires.
"Almost, you can go up" Li Zimu nodded and said, this mountain is not very high, behind the mountain should be the place of the Bagua Gate, on the surface, it is just a private territory, just like a local tyrant chartered the village and the first mountain built a private villa on it, it is not unusual.
Zhuge Yinglong nodded, stepped on the accelerator and walked forward, went straight through the mountain gate and drove inside.
Two people who looked like security guards walked over, Zhuge Yinglong handed them the invitation in his hand, the two looked at it, returned the invitation again, and raised the horizontal fence.
Sure enough, as Li Zimu expected, there are more buildings behind this mountain, and there is a river flowing below, and the feng shui here is not bad, after all, the Bagua Gate Zhuge family eats this meal, and the nest must have a good feng shui.
There is a Taoist temple behind the mountain.
The Taoist temple in this year is not like the ancient times, in the deep mountains and old forests, you can build it if you want, after all, at that time, those who dared to build a Taoist temple, the government had to weigh it.
Now that the situation has changed, if you want to build a Taoist temple, or keep the former Taoist temple, you need to go through procedures layer by layer.
Money and materials are just one of the insignificant processes, you have to go to the government to apply for land use rights, and then go to the relevant commissions to set up the project, and then you can build a Taoist temple, and after that, you have to find someone to accept it.
In addition, you have to go to the Religious Affairs Bureau to apply, wait for the approval, file it with the Religious Association, and the Taoist Association approves it, and your Taoist temple can be regarded as truly established......
