In the courtyard of a single-family villa on the outskirts of Shanghai, the rich shade of trees shades the entire building, only revealing sporadic lights in the cracks. The yard is very quiet, on the grass, in the lotus pond, in the bushes, the energetic frogs and insects chirping and the restless movements of the owl birds in the day have now become quiet, and the air is faintly transmitted with the music played by the gramophone, which is the Cantonese minor tune that circulates in the Nanyang area, pure Cantonese slang, accompanied by Western music organ and wind music, has become popular at the moment. Occasionally, a few soft sighs were mixed with the tune, and the slightest bit of it was in tune.

"Turn it off, let's get down to business!"

The Guo brothers sat on the sofa in the living room with solemn faces, listening to the introductions of Guo Linshuang and Guo Daisy. They didn't interrupt their narratives, no matter how incredible the two of them said, this is a kind of upbringing, and it is the accumulation left after the integration of Eastern and Western civilizations. As the Guo brothers who went to Nanyang to make a living in the early days, keeping the great etiquette in their hearts, the beauty of uniforms, and the perfect combination with Western civilization are the foundation of their survival and reproduction. Therefore, in terms of educating their children, both of them lead by example and spare no effort.

"In this way, you still don't know why he understands so clearly in the end, but you know that his name is Wang Fan, and he is a student of Chengxin Academy. And he currently lives in the courtyard of the big world, and is a child under the age of eight? ”

Guo Le felt a little incredible, although he felt that his children couldn't lie, but this kind of thing didn't sound normal, but it revealed a strong conspiracy. "Could it be that those competitors have come to pretend to be ghosts, intending to calculate their own brothers? But even then, wouldn't it be better to find an old liar who looks better and has a fairy wind and bones than such a hairy child? Why bother blowing up its shortness and making people unbelievable! ”

Seeing Daddy asking, Guo Linshuang nodded again and again. "We learned about it from the doorman in front of the Sincere Department Store, and then we went to the shops along the street to ask, and it was similar to what the doorman said. The kid often ran past here, not intentionally waiting for us brother and sister, but because I had caused trouble by laughing at him first. In my opinion, it was an accident. ”

Guo Daisy also told all the actual situation under her father's repeated questioning, and she also agreed with Lin Shuang's brother's opinion. If it weren't for Brother Lin Shuang's deliberate embarrassment of the child named Wang Fan, it would not have caused such consequences at all.

Guo Le looked at Guo Biao and asked, "Brother, what do you think?" ”

"I also agree with the children that the appearance of this child is just a coincidence, but there is still a danger. If this kid releases the news that we are preparing to build a department store, it is secondary to raise the land price, and if it is corrected first, it will completely cut off the financial route. Therefore, we must learn to nip the problem in the bud, so that the small problem does not become a big problem. ”

Guo Daisy's heart tightened, as if her heart was being held tightly by a hand, and it was beating violently. The delicate and handsome appearance of the young man appeared in front of her eyes, although it was a little cold, but the deep eyes seemed to be right in front of her, instead of words, and pierced straight into her heart. If the boy had fallen in a pool of blood with a bloody face, and her eyes could never be opened again, the scene would have made her dare not think about it any longer.

"Daddy, you're not planning to kill people, are you?"

Guo Biao looked at his daughter's nervous appearance, thinking that she was just kind-hearted and didn't want to see them take such drastic measures, so he smiled and comforted: "Daisy, don't be afraid. We're not going to do that. Besides, if there really is someone behind this child, solving one problem will not solve all the problems. I mean take the initiative to ask this kid over and have a good talk. If it's just because he has a unique vision and a flexible mind to guess, then lure him with profit in exchange for him to keep his mouth shut. If there is someone behind him, then dig out the person behind him through him, and when the time comes, it will be civil or military, only depending on the choice of the other party. ”

"That's right! At the invitation of Mr. Sun, we returned to China for development, which is to contribute to the country and do good things for the benefit of the country and the people. If you are just afraid of leaking trade secrets and kill people, then what is the difference between it and banditry! ”

After Guo Le finished speaking, he thought about it for a while, and said to Guo Biao, and to the two children: "It's late today, so I won't alarm that child." Wait until tomorrow morning, stop him on his route to school, and I will talk to him personally. I believe that if I go out and deal with a small hairy head, I will still succeed. ”

Wang Mengxiong slept late because he read "Anthology of the West Wall". Although most of these are Zhang Yuqing's poems and articles, you can still get a glimpse of the essence of his Taoist thought in Longhu Mountain through the lines. In particular, one of the accounts aroused his strong interest. "Yongle eight years of Gengyin's heir teaching, Jiangsu and Zhejiang tides, is the book of iron talisman disciples Huang Duan has to throw it, when the waves are turbulent, if there are people and horses whistling, and then the water recedes, there is a division to hear, and the envoy is rewarded."

This record does not rule out the suspicion that he is boasting, but if this passage is true, then this Zhang Yuqing is really powerful and has real skills. In his opinion, the most precious thing about this "Xibi Anthology" is not the value of rare books and articles, but the fact that there is an illustration under this text. The above depiction is the scene of the ebb tide of the caster, and the iron rune lines on it are exquisite, as if it is really the original portrayal. Wang Mengxiong just took a closer look, and actually found that this talisman had been engraved in his mind and was clearly visible.

"Although I practice natural martial arts, I have nothing to do with the Taoist Heavenly Master. However, if the Heavenly Master Sect knew that their 44-generation ancestors actually secretly passed down a talisman in the article, I am afraid they would come to the door! ”

Wang Mengxiong knew that since the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, the monks and Taoists had been severely suppressed, but the Lamaism had been vigorously promoted. The inheritance of many sects has gone wrong, which is also the reason why there are more and more liars on the rivers and lakes, and there are fewer and fewer monks who are really capable. If the Heavenly Master taught this talisman to be handed down, they would definitely consider the risk of leaking secrets; If they lose the method of making this talisman seal, then this thing will become the treasure of their inheritance sect, and they will definitely come to the door to ask for it.

"If they are kind enough to ask for something, you can consider giving it back to them. If it is a bully and a hard robbery, Lao Tzu's fist is no worse than any Taoism! ”

That night, Wang Mengxiong had a dream, dreaming that the Qiantang tide, which was overwhelming and thunderous, was raging, and almost all the coastal defense projects along the river were damaged. There are all kinds of strange sea creatures in the waves, sinking or floating, or hiding at the bottom of the water, or flying over the waves.

A little black light flew out from the hands of the Daoist standing on the towering reef on the shore, and gradually turned into a shield-sized piece and burrowed into one of the most turbulent waves. The Dao man didn't know what to say in his mouth, and a golden light appeared on the shield in the depths of the waves, and a talisman flew out of thin air, exactly the same as the talisman engraved in Wang Mengxiong's mind. The golden light swept through all the spray and the bottom of the water, illuminating the shadows of the aquarium creatures that were raging in the water. Wang Mengxiong in his sleep seemed to be fixed, falling into the water like dumplings from those water tribes, and receding with the tide.

Suddenly, Wang Mengxiong woke up from his dream, sweating profusely, and realized that he had a strange dream. "What did the Taoist say? How could you not remember! ”
