Chapter 0059 - A Master of the Market
"Hey, heyβ"
Xiao Qiong smiled awkwardly. Fortunately, there was a spare tire in the rear trunk of the Hummer, and Xiao Qiong sweated like rain to change the tire, and it took more than half an hour.
When he returned home, Zhang Ye saw that the two young people were soaking wet, and he was so distressed. Dai Xiaoxiao coquettishly scolded Xiao Qiong for her "crow's mouth", but Zhang Ye once again admired Xiao Qiong's magical prediction. She urged Dai Xiaoxiao to take a shower, change clothes, and personally drove Xiao Qiong to the Oriental Baiyun Garden.
When parting, Zhang Ye's face was full of warmth, and his eyes were full of warm love: "Xiaoqiong, my girl is willful, you take the initiative." β
Xiao Qiong was stunned for a moment, and she didn't know how to respond! In fact, Zhang Ye has long meant this, and Xiao Qiong is not a fool? Ouyang Xue, who has been in love for four years, has been hiding in her heart, can she take the initiative?
shook hands with Zhang Ye and said goodbye, Xiao Qiong returned home full of loneliness. As soon as he mentions his feelings, he will think of Ouyang Xue. Dai Xiaoxiao is indeed beautiful, cute, and looks very similar, but she will never be able to replace Ouyang Xue. However, now there is no reason to contact her. This pain pierced Xiao Qiong's heart like a needle. He was looking forward to Shangguan Yun's news, and he was a little afraid to hear bad news.
At half past ten o'clock in the evening, Xiao Qiong just wanted to meditate and practice, when the call from the old man Zhang Zongchang came. His somewhat old but magnetic voice came, making Xiao Qiong feel a little like he had traveled through time and space. It turned out that the old man called to thank him, and if Xiao Qiong hadn't come to the rescue today, his niece would have been swept away by the flood.
Xiao Qiong struck while the iron was hot and proposed to visit the old man Zhang Zongchang. Mr. Zhang readily agreed, and he lived at No. 180 Zhushan New Village.
The next morning, Xiao Qiong once again pushed back the agreement with Li Ziwei, the female boss of Fenghua Trading Company, and took the psychic dog Xiao Hei to the residence of the old man Zhang Zongchang.
Zhang Zongchang's residence is located at the junction of urban and rural areas. A European-style villa, but completely according to the layout of traditional Chinese feng shui, with houses on the left and right, a hill behind, a clear stream flowing in front of the door, and endless mountains in the distance.
Xiao Qiong couldn't help but sigh secretly, the old man Zhang Zongchang was not only skilled, but also a blessed person, enjoying such a treasure of feng shui. I haven't seen him for a few days, and Mr. Zhang's complexion is ruddy and his spirit is shining. He happily welcomed Xiao Qiong into the courtyard and said excitedly: "Master Xiao, I really thank you very much. If it weren't for you, the consequences of my Xiaoqian would be unimaginable. This girl, I repeatedly persuaded her not to go, saying that there would be a heavy rainstorm, but she just didn't listen! Now that she has suffered a loss, she has learned to be obedient, and as soon as she comes back, she will tell me that you saved her. Your great feeling is really unrewarded. β
Mr. Zhang was serious. It's a lot of work. Those who learn are easy to learn, as they should. β
During the conversation, Zhang Zongchang's eyes suddenly lit up, and his eyes focused on Xiao Hei. The little black also kept wagging his tail at him, a little dΓ©jΓ vu!
Zhang Zongchang called softly: "Lingling, Lingling-"
Xiao Hei snorted a few times, and actually stuck to Zhang Zongchang's feet, lying on the ground and not leaving. This surprised Xiao Qiong. Zhang Zongchang's face was cloudy, so gloomy that he was about to drip water, and asked, "Mr. Xiao, where did you get this dog?" β
Xiao Qiong briefly told the old man about the wonderful experience of Sanqing Palace. Zhang Zongchang couldn't help but cry after hearing this!
Choked for a while, Zhang Lao first told Xiao Qiong that this little black was originally named "Lingling", and he was the pet of the head of the Sanqing Palace. And Tianyi Chang and he are old friends, the two have been dating for decades, and their feelings are deeper than that of brothers. Every time he went to Sanqing Palace, Ling Ling would "meet" him with Tianyi Chang. So, when it saw him, it had a sense of dΓ©jΓ vu.
Xiao Qiong asked: "So, Tianyi Chang has suffered an accident?" β
Zhang Zongchang wiped away a handful of tears and whimpered: "This-do you still need to say it? The spirits have been in the mountains and wilderness for so long, and Tianyi has long been gone. He told me before his death that there are two treasures that can only be treasured by those who are destined. This is a treasure that has been passed down from generation to generation in Sanqing Palace. One is the Qimen Dunjia God Plate, the material is made of cooked copper, just turn the God Plate, you can deduce the heaven, earth, people, and God Disk of the Yang Dun Nine Bureaus, Yin Dun Nine Bureaus, according to the analysis of these plates, predict the good luck and evil of things. According to legend, it was made by Liu Bowen, the founding strategist of the early Ming Dynasty. And one more thingβ"
Xiao Qiong immediately picked it up: ""Zhengyijing." β
Zhang Zongchang was stunned by Xiao Qiong's words, and asked rhetorically: "How do you know?" β
Xiao Qiong had no choice but to tell the truth about the fact that she had accidentally found a treasure behind the statue of Zhang Tianshi and was stolen by someone, and Zhang Zongchang sighed! Tianyi Chang said that the magic weapon should be given to someone who is destined, and Xiao Qiong was destined to get the magic weapon occasionally, but it was stolen by someone.
Xiao Qiong asked, "Mr. Zhang, who do you think will steal the magic weapon?" β
Zhang Zongchang said angrily: "In the entire Sanqing Palace, except for the Qingfeng Dao Chief, who else can do such a non-asshole thing?" β
Xiao Qiong asked again: "Do you know Qingfeng Dao?" β
Zhang Zongchang replied: "This person used to be a proud protΓ©gΓ© of Tianyi Chang, or it can be said to be a closed disciple, Tianyi Chang taught what he had learned all his life without reservation, and I don't know what happened later." I haven't been in touch with each other for several years. I really didn't expect him to be an ancient man, and his dog would be in the wilderness. β
Xiao Qiong said sincerely: "In this case, I will still call 'Xiao Hei' 'Lingling' in the future." It is indeed not an ordinary pet, it is very psychic. These days, after careful breeding, it has regained its physical health. Mr. Zhang, since you and Tianyi have been good friends for many years, I am willing to send it to you with a spirit and let it accompany you through your old age. β
"I can't do it, I can't help it!" Zhang Zongchang hurriedly refused: "Since Lingling is destined for you, it proves that it has an unfinished mission." Let it follow you, and maybe it can play a bigger role. I'm old and I just want to live a life of retreat. If you have a place to use decay, you are willing to do your part. β
"Mr. Zhang is polite. Your Qimen Dunjia magic technique, the juniors sigh to themselves. β
The two chatted for a long time, and before they knew it, it had been a long time. The old man Zhang Zongchang proposed to go to the rooftop on the third floor to drink tea. Xiao Qiong followed the old man to the rooftop and found that there was a cave here. The rooftop is surrounded by plants such as full moon, laurel, violets, and tulips, which are full of fragrance. A large carved wood tea set sits in the middle of the rooftop, topped by transparent tempered glass. It's a perfect combination of natural and artificial.
The old man skillfully rinsed the tea set, took out a small piece of ripe water that had been treasured for many years, and brewed it with mountain spring water. Xiao Qiong took a sip, and suddenly felt refreshed, and there was a feeling of transparency in her internal organs.
After some contact, Xiao Qiong already knew something about Zhang Zongchang, so she directly expressed her views and said:
"Mr. Zhang, I suspect that the Qingfeng Dao Master stole those two magic weapons."
"Oh? Is there any evidence? β
"Nope. By feeling. The artifact was stolen that day, and I had dinner with Lingling and a few other friends in the restaurant on the second floor. Lingling screamed like crazy. I suspect the spirit is aware of something. If it was the Qingfeng Dao Leader, Lingling must know him. β
"Makes sense. This breeze is long, and there is a black mole on the left cheek, and there are two long hairs growing on the mole. According to my physiognomy analysis, this is a guy with a bad heart, and for some reason, he has won the appreciation of Tianyi and has become his closed disciple. If it were him, then he must know Lingling. β
Xiao Qiong wanted to tell Zhang Zongchang about what she found in Qingfeng Pavilion, but she held back. It is better to talk more about misfortune and less about it. This is the basic rule of being a human being. Zhang Zongchang is a friend of Tianyichang, but he doesn't know if Tianyichang is still in the world. Xiao Qiong suggested that he should occupy a hexagram to confirm the situation of Tianyi's longevity. Zhang Zongchang used the time hexagram method of "Plum Blossom Easy Counting", gently twisted his fingers, and turned between his palms and fingers, and couldn't help but change his face: "Brothers have become officials and ghosts." Tianyi is no longer in the world! β
Sadness abruptly arose, and the atmosphere changed abruptly. As for the cause of Tianyichang's death, there is no implicit information in the hexagram. I Ching has a predictive function, but it is not all-encompassing. Xiao Qiong and Zhang Zongchang looked at each other, not knowing what to do. Xiao Qiong couldn't be sure that the Qingfeng Dao Leader killed the Tianyi Chief.
But in the face of this situation, Zhang Zongchang still couldn't help but sigh: "That "Zhengyi Jing" is a Taoist heirloom, and it has been lost on the market for many years. If it falls into the hands of bad actors, the consequences are unimaginable. β
Xiao Qiong pointed to her head and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Mr. Zhang, it's here." β
Zhang Zongchang opened his mouth wide in shock, and couldn't close it for a long time: "What did you say?" In your head? β
It seems that Xiao Qiong doesn't seem to be telling a lie. This young man is very orthodox, and he is by no means a vain person. Xiao Qiong just flipped through it, and the whole book was clearly engraved in his mind, clear, clear, and safer than hiding anywhere.
Zhang Zongchang's understanding was obviously deeper than his, and the old man was silent for a while, and then suggested: "Since you have memorized it, quickly record it and organize it into an electronic version." Culture needs to be inherited, and it is not an insurance thing to exist only in your head. β
There are unpredictable circumstances in the sky, and people have good and bad luck. This could not be clearer. Xiao Qiong understood, and said that she must squeeze time to come out and fulfill a wish. But this thief is truly hateful!
From the momentary, the celestial and human induction, this time the prediction is the most accurate. Xiao Qiong wondered if it was the Qingfeng Dao Leader who stole the magic weapon? After concentrating and analyzing for a few seconds, his face couldn't help but change greatly.
