Chapter 5 Taoist priests enter the world to find the dead
Gaozhou, a satellite city of Licheng, has beautiful mountains and rivers and is livable.
'Jingle Bell'......
At twenty-two o'clock in the evening, the phone rang, and no one answered and turned into a voice message: I am Xu Changqing, I can't answer the phone for the time being, and I have something to leave a message.
"Changqing, it's me, Xuanji, I don't know if the original code is still valid, I can only try: ask the Taoist priest to go down the mountain." The male voice on the phone was full of exhaustion, but the words of 'please Taoist priest to go down the mountain' were sonorous and powerful, and finally said: "I now live at No. 18 Dingtai Villa, and I have been at home all day for the past two days." ”
More than ten minutes later, in the dark, Xu Qi, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed, opened his eyes, and at the same time, the light in the pendant of the eyes around his neck no longer flowed.
Quietly got out of bed, light like a cat, did not turn on the light, walked all the way to the living room in the dark, replayed the recording, stood fixed for a while, walked to the balcony, picked up a small watering can, and sprayed more than ten pots of flowers in turn.
The mist of water from the pot emitted a faint light, and a rainbow appeared in it, just like the scene when the sun was shining.
As he turned back to his bedroom, the plants in the pots stretched and grew in silence at a speed visible to the naked eye.
At seven o'clock the next day, he came to the balcony again, picked a dozen fat leaves, stuffed them directly into his mouth, chewed and swallowed.
Then he took out the robes from the urn and began to put them on.
Due to the need for professional secrecy, the robes were cut and made by himself, and the appearance was poor and the value was extraordinary.
At eight o'clock, he appeared in front of the outside door of Ding Taishan Villa.
The security guard Lao Zhang went to the communication room to make an internal phone call, and Xiao Liu was responsible for staring at the visitor.
Xiao Liu was very unimpressed by Xu Changqing's appearance.
He has really seen Tang costumes, Chinese style, since the country is rich and the people are strong, self-confidence and self-esteem, it has been a popular cultural element. But the one in front of him seems to him to be a bad culture.
It's not crisp or sagging, but there are a lot of folds, and the corners are a little twisted, just like pure cotton pajamas that are thrown in a dry bucket and worn directly on the body without ironing.
And it was also accompanied by a pair of cloth boots, not shoes but boots. This kind of outfit really embarrassed him.
What made him even more embarrassed was the calmness and confidence revealed in the other party's demeanor, he thought: "You wear a good altar outfit like this, and you can still have a sense of superiority, there is really no one!" ”
At this moment, two luxury cars came down the mountain road, one in front was a Rolls-Royce Phantom, and the other in the back was a Bentley Mulsanne.
The car is still some distance away, and the gate has been opened here.
Security guard Xiao Liu and Lao Zhang, who came out of the service room, stood up and saluted the passing luxury car, solemn and solemn, like professional soldiers on duty.
The rear window of the first luxury car was open, green smoke was rising, and a middle-aged man with a big belly was smoking a cigar against the window. Inadvertently, he glanced at Xu Changqing on the side of the road, the corners of his mouth curled, and he laughed.
When the luxury car was gone, Lao Zhang Xing came over and handed back Xu Changqing's documents with both hands: "Please forgive me for the inconvenience caused by the review process of the villa, and welcome to Dingtai Mountain Villa." ”
Xu Changqing put away his ID card, nodded at the two of them, and continued along the mountain road like a walk.
Xiao Liu looked at Xu Changqing's back as he drifted away, tilted his head and said to Lao Zhang: "You said that you are a good person, why do you have to do it?" You don't have good clothes, as long as it's clean and tidy, no one will say anything about you. ”
Lao Zhang smiled: "The forest is big." ”
Xiao Liu scratched his head: "I just can't figure out what level of IQ and EQ this is, how can I still feel good about myself." I don't want to think about it, if you can't do basic etiquette well, how can others respect you? ”
"Okay, a few words."
"I know that trouble comes from the mouth. By the way, Brother Zhang, the 'presence' you just used well, and it was quite spicy. ”……
The gate of No. 18 is open, and the inside is quite large, and it takes nearly ten minutes to walk to the main house in the shape of a 'concave'. Lawn trees, cloister fountain... There is no shortage of landscapes in European-style mountain villas.
Xu Changqing knows that this is also a feature of Dingtai Mountain Villa, and the most luxurious units are all occupied by one family, rather than a few or even a dozen households 'crowded' on a mountain.
As he walked near the sculpture fountain, he noticed the cars in the parking lot next to him, including the two luxury cars he had encountered earlier at the entrance to the villa.
Further inward, a gray-haired old man had already come out, his steps were hurried, and his expression was obviously a little excited.
"Fauber, I haven't seen you for six years, and your bones still look strong."
"Kozai!" Yu Fuxing came over and took Xu Changqing's hand, and walked until he reached the door of the main hall, Yu Fu's emotions calmed down a little, and said: "Xiao Xu, he has long regretted it, he has had a very difficult life in recent years......"
"Understood, I'm almost ready, and I was going to come over."
Yu Fu wiped the corners of his eyes. "The problems of your fathers and grandparents are all on your shoulders."
"It's not easy, but if you think about it, how many people are better than me and Xuanji's blessings? Bear grace and take risks, one and two. Xu Changqing is calm, but he is more like an elder who has gone through ups and downs.
Entering the door is the palatial front hall, where the middle-aged man with a big belly drinks tea, and with him a girl and two foreigners with deep eyebrows.
Seeing Xu Changqing come in, the foreigner took the lead in standing up, and the middle-aged man with a big belly was stunned and embarrassed at first, but he quickly adjusted his mood, stood up too, and pulled up the girl who was sitting there with her legs folded and her head supporting her head and looking around.
Xu Changqing nodded to them, and then went straight to the second floor under the guidance of Yu Fu.
When he was walking on the stairs, he vaguely heard the girl's muttering: "Dad, isn't this the turtle you said before?" ”
In a large bedroom full of the smell of Western medicine, Xu Changqing saw Yu Xuanji, curled up in a chaise longue, covered with a blanket, decadent, tired, and his gestures were full of decay characteristics, like an old man in his last years.
"Xiao Xu, bask in the sun?" Yu Fu asked.
"Some light would be fine." Yu Xuanji didn't even seem to be able to speak.
The button was pressed down, and the curtains of the three large floor-to-ceiling windows were opened through a gap.
The sunlight shines through, bringing a bit of brightness to the room, but it makes Yu Xuanji's appearance more and more haggard.
Yu Fu withdrew and closed the door.
Xu Changqing pulled a chair and sat down. "It was more than I expected."
Yu Xuanji laughed a few times, "It's hard to say, and I blame myself for it." If I had listened to you back then, it wouldn't have been so bad. ”
"You should have found me sooner."
Yu Xuanji shook his head: "It can't be early, you have to wait until you have passed the hurdle of refining and refining qi." ”
"What passed half a year ago has been consolidated." Xu Changqing said again: "I even wore the magic robe this time. ”
"It turned out that my condition was one step ahead of the curve."
Xu Changqing said in a deep voice: "There must be a way, there must be someone who has a way." ”
"I refuse to invite outsiders."
Xu Changqing's expression was a little angry.
"Listen to me." Yu Xuanji said with a straight face: "The last time we had an argument, it was my mistake. Arrogant, self-righteous, and unscrupulous. Here, I have to give you a formal apology, I'm sorry. ”
Xu Changqing waved his hand. "Don't talk about old things, don't talk about right or wrong, we discuss how to solve problems."
"Okay, let's just say this solves the problem. In a word, the distant ancestors tied the bell and you untied the bell, there was already a comment, and there was no other way. That's what I've been doing for six years. ”
Xu Changqing was silent.
His distant ancestor Xu Yu, amazing talent, Xuanmen master, lived 108 years old, spontaneously combusted after death, there was a colorful light rising, and left a relic like a Buddhist relic.
When Xu Yu was alive, he calculated the birth dates of him and Yu Xuanji, and even gave them their names, and gave them the following words. And said: At the beginning of today, three prosperity, three peace, three declines, and the end of nine generations.
Yuan, Tai, Lie, Tian, Gao, Zeng, Ancestor, Father, to him and Yu Xuanji, it is the ninth generation.
His surname is Xu Mingqi, the word is Changqing, and the comment is: Where to find the fairy trace.
If you guess a word with a criticism, it is Qi, where to find the fairy trace? It can be found down the mountain. And the original meaning of this word is a man-made hill.
In the past, the word would have been easily associated with large underground tombs.
Coincidentally, the relationship between Xu Yu's two families was opened by a feng shui yin house of the descendants of Fuyin.
And the catastrophe that Xu Yu approved back then, now it seems that there is a big situation in the place where the ancestors of the Yu family are buried.
Yu Xuanji's single name is secret, Xuanji is a table word, and the comment is: There is no mystery in life.
And after he was twelve years old, he gained a special ability, Foresight!
This ability, which he once considered to be a super golden finger, has become the biggest problem in his life in recent years, and even with the increase of uncontrollability, it seems to have become a cursed existence.
can predict the future, isn't there nothing mysterious in this life?
It is also very suitable for his current state.
The more the names of the two are combined with the reality of the situation, the more reverie and awe they arouse.
After a long time, Xu Changqing nodded: "I understand, this matter belongs to the two of our families, and no outsiders are allowed to interfere in it, no matter what is good or bad." ”
"Don't be too stressed, I can still carry it, I called you this time, mainly because the opportunity appeared."
Xu Changqing's eyes couldn't help but light up, leaned forward, and asked, "A chance to find the secret realm?" ”
"Yes, someone knows the location of that secret place, because that's where he came from."
"Sure? Who? ”
"Xie Chongyang, a man who has been dead for a hundred and one years."
From the mouth of a man who has been dead for a hundred and one years. This may sound like a bit mysterious, but it's been officially started as a big project.
The project was not initiated by Yu Xuanji, but by Hu Nanguang, the richest man in Licheng.
Hu Nanguang is a legendary figure in the Licheng realm, and before the age of thirty, he was an idler at the end of the village, and he ate the last meal but did not eat the next meal. After the age of 30, he made his first pot of gold with antiques that he didn't know where to go, and since then his fortune has been unstoppable.
Energy, minerals, real estate, finance, what he does when it is hot, or in other words, every time he chooses an investment category, that category will usher in a golden period of development.
Now his career has spanned several fields, stable and prosperous, and has been judged as an outstanding entrepreneur in the province for several consecutive years, and he is also a famous philanthropist, which can be described as a success.
However, people in the rich circle, as well as people in Licheng and the surrounding areas, when it comes to this person, what they like to talk about most is not his self-made family history, but all kinds of anecdotes about his belief in feng shui and wealth and fortune.
For example, in life and work, Hu Nanguang pays the most attention to it, and when he sees guests and friends, there will always be someone to call the front station, and he is a completely unfamiliar place, and he can't even enter the door.
Another example is that he treats the people in the Xuanmen with special courtesy, and it is said that every year, the money that is 'borrowed' by witches and gods and others is not less than 10 million.
In the eyes of Xu Changqing, who has achieved cultivation, Hu Nanguang is an ominous toilet stone......
