Chapter Thirty-Six: The Forced Cleanup of the Portal
Shen Yuan pressed the teacup on the table and bowed his head silently. He seemed to take a few deep breaths with all his strength and shook his head: "Old man, it's a bit too hard to have such a showdown with juniors all of a sudden、、、 right?" Can you let me rest for a while and sum it up、、、? ”
"Hahaha! Good! It's nature! Old Man Shen pinched his beard and replied cheerfully, with a hint of relief in his eyes--- this kid was not frightened by the sudden change, nor was he eager to jump up and down as soon as he heard the righteousness of his family and country, like a material for doing great things、、、
The words have been said thoroughly, the old man Shen seems to have let go of a thousand catties of boulder in his heart, the foundation of his father's hard work, the struggle of dozens of his brothers, children and grandchildren, and the hard work to expand the industry of the outer door, countless pains and sweat and even the lives of relatives! Just to get a chance to revive the mountain gate one day! Now、、、 success or failure depends on today!
"Door owner, do you want to go to the guest room to rest, sometimes you think about it quietly、、、"
"Good! It's time to take a break, I'm too tired during this time, and my heart is tired、、、"
"Well, that's fine, and it doesn't hurt to think about it for a few more days、、、"
"No, I've thought about it! I'm not sure about it, and I'm still a little confused in my head, but I don't want to go! ”
"Huh?"
Shen Yuan stood up and stretched his waist, the bones of his body made a crisp sound, and he looked down at the stunned old man Shen: "I said I thought about it, I won't go!" But my parents need to settle it as soon as possible. This matter is up to the old man, and now that the matter has come to this, I want to find out the whereabouts or ending of my grandfather first, and then do my best to complete his old man's ambitions. In addition、、、 the world is completely new, and those people still want to stir up strife in the world or have unrealistic plans on their own、、、 I still think it is a bit unrealistic. ”
Old Man Shen pinched his beard and asked, "You just thought about it?" ”
Shen Yuan shrugged: "Think about it!" In Minzhu Forest, Tongyuan Town Five Immortal Sect, I have been asking myself all the time. Whether I want to go on like this or not, my brain is afraid, but I can't fool my own heart、、、 I want to try! ”
Old Man Shen was silent for a moment, and suddenly burst out laughing: "Hahahahahaha、、、 so the old man is in good shape, so it doesn't matter!" 、、、 stormy old man took a family of children to go with the master! ”
Shen Yuan grabbed the joint muscles of his shoulders and arms with both hands, and said to Old Man Shen with a smile: "The ancestors and ancestors in the incense hall are listening upstairs!" Don't go back, old man! ”
Old Man Shen nodded: "The gentleman has a word, and he should be with him in life and death!" But 、、、"
"Oh? But what? Shen Yuan turned around and looked at Old Man Shen quietly.
"The master of the door must fulfill the old man's wish! Please take back this spirit jade in the old man's hand, and remove the old man's jade master as the hall master! ”
"Huh? Old man, are you playing with me? Coaxed me into this bottomless sinkhole, and then your old man abstained from voting as soon as he looked back? Don't you want to play like this? Shen Yuan was so shocked that he almost jumped up, because he could see that the old man's words were not like a joke.
Old Man Shen shook his head and said slowly: "Over the years, the outer hall has almost been incognito, and it has only focused on developing its strength, although the industry under the door is quite good, and the generation entrenched in Nanyang can be regarded as deep-rooted. But back on the mainland, it's still not enough to compare with those mountain sects that have been inherited for thousands of years. Low-key, forbearing, see the move. Stabilizing the position is the way to achieve great things. ”
"The old man wants to resign from the position of the head of this outer hall for three reasons. First, the old man is too old, and it is a great opportunity for young people to rise to the top at the beginning of the storm! Could it be that the master of the door could bear to take me, an old man in his old age, to run around? The days of swords and swords are only suitable for you young people、、、"
"Second, the old man's reputation on the bright side of the Nanyang generation has long been known for walking the rivers and lakes over the years, and it is easy to attract attention when he shows up! After all, it's not good to leave Nanyang for too long、、、 it's better to retreat behind the door master and secretly exert his strength. Three, the old man has been very strict with the mountain of the outer hall over the years. It has become a word, which is not conducive to the door owner to be able to do it in the future, and there is no doubt that this rabbit cub is smart enough to lack some stability! Let him take on this burden as soon as possible and go through the rivers and lakes with the master, it can also give him more qualifications and confidence, while the old man still has the ability, help the two of you one more way, so that even if the old man closes his eyes halfway, he can feel at ease、、、、、、"
Shen Yuan turned around and sat opposite the old man again, gently pushed the stored spirit jade back in front of the old man, and said: "Old man, your intention to fulfill me and the two of you understands, but this piece of storage spirit jade is still the old man's own!" This is a friendship between Grandpa Tai and Father Ling back then, and there is no doubt that he told me about some of the means of the outer hall, without the urging of this stored spirit jade, it is inevitably a little inconvenient to act outside、、、"
Old Man Shen waved his hand: "Door master, this piece of stored spirit jade was handed down to me by my old father, and there is a lifetime of guilt in it!" The brothers who should have lived and died together all died, and the last battle was even more abandoned at the time of life and death! The old man can be regarded as atoning for his father's sins, but he has a wish! The old man is indeed old, and there are not many ways to fight and kill when he was young, and there will always be children around him. In terms of safety, it should be fine, thank you for your concern. ”
Shen Yuan held this quaint jade pendant in both hands, carefully perceiving the faint but intimate spiritual power fluctuations of the jade pendant, this feeling of being connected by the same root and blood is so strange and so familiar.
In a trance, Shen Yuan was like seeing a vague back! Without hesitation, he walked slowly towards a dark and terrifying path、、、
"Alright! This matter is up to the old man, but the way forward is still up to the old man to give us two directions! I will carry this piece of jade with me, but I have a piece of talisman jade that I have cultivated, don't shirk it, old man, just keep it close to me! It is a filial piety of the younger generation to the old man. ”
As he spoke, Shen Yuan lowered his head and took off a small jade piece tied with a dark jade rope from his neck, which was a piece of Hetian jade seed material that Shen Yuan had received from a jade dealer in Northern Xinjiang earlier. The extremely oily green and white jade material was opened by Shen Yuan for a bracelet and two jade pendants, and he asked someone to carve two antique jade pieces.
One side of the jade is a hand-carved milk nail pattern, and the other side is a delicate hook cloud pattern, imitating one of the classic models of the Ming Dynasty! With the warm texture of Hetian jade, it looks very good.
Since he gained a little ability, Shen Yuan has been doing his best to use spiritual power to refine and nourish these two pieces of jade, thinking that after raising a little spirituality, he will give it to his parents as a talisman jade to ward off evil spirits and increase luck. This time, I took it out sincerely, wanting to appease Old Man Shen's precious loyalty to the mountain gate.
Old Man Shen took this jade with a smile and secretly used the means of going out of the hall to investigate, and he couldn't help but glance at Shen Yuangao in his heart.
In just a few months of hard work, you can refine this talisman jade with a little spirituality! It seems that this is the bloodline, this is the talent、、、! But he only thanked lightly: "That old man is disrespectful!" Thank you for the jade, hahahaha! ”
After chatting for a while, the two of them saw that the sky was already bright, so they simply went out and called Shen Budo to come to the restaurant, and a few people had breakfast together.
During the banquet, Shen Yuan Shen Siming and Shen Budo were accompanied by a taciturn and emaciated man in his fifties, who was a disciple of the outer hall who had followed Shen for many years and was nominally a senior assistant and legal adviser to Shen Laozi.
But this person is not a direct descendant of the Shen family in Malaysia, his surname is Tang and his name is Zixuan, and it can be seen that this person is very trusted by the old man Shen. He also knows everything about Nanyang inside the door.、Typical staff master.。
Shen Budo This second-rate son also looked respectful to this Mr. Tang, and at the beginning, Tang Zixuan insisted on refusing to sit with Shen Yuan, saying that this would lose the courtesy in the door.
Under Shen Yuan's persuasion several times, Mr. Tang was willing to sit at the last seat, and he didn't talk much during the banquet, but his loyalty to the outer hall and the mountain gate of the jade master was undoubted.
Shen Yuan did his best to observe this obviously the core of the outer sect and the real power, and found that this middle-aged man named Tang Zixuan was extremely trustworthy to Old Man Shen! For these affairs of the outer gate, Shen Yuan knew that he had no qualifications to put his beak, after all, he was just taking advantage of a descendant's surname. But Shen Yuan still faintly felt a trace of unease、、、
This Tang Zixuan seems to have accepted his sudden appearance as a door master a little too quickly!
What era is it now? The era of the global village where technology explodes and information explodes! Although these places of the cultivation sect are extremely conservative and strange places, Shen Yuan still habitually marks the part of himself that he can't understand in his heart! 、、、、、、 Tang Zixuan! A trusted henchman by the side of Mr. Shen Siming! Shen Yuan always has a strange sense of estrangement towards this person,
After eating a plain breakfast, but in fact, everyone present understood that this was the first formal exchange between the top management of the entire mountain gate after the reopening of the Jade Connoisseur's Mountain Gate, and several people were a little cautious, a little excited and a little expectant. The four of them didn't eat much, and I'm afraid their hearts were filled with boundless thoughts、、、
After the meal, Shen Yuan and Shen Siming, the old man and Shen Budo, the three of them respectfully entered the incense hall to salute the incense, and after kowtowing to the main seat, Shen Yuan lit a note of incense alone in front of his grandfather's blank divine seat.
Under the curling cigarette, Shen Yuan silently prayed、、、 hoping that his grandfather, who had never met but was connected to his fate, would bless himself to keep the inheritance of the jade master firmly if he was still conscious, and then try his best to fulfill his grandfather's last wish. Bless your parents and relatives and be able to spend your ordinary life peacefully、、、
In the end, Shen Yuan came to the right side of the outer hall in front of the god seat of the previous generations of hall masters to pay homage, and deliberately bowed in front of the god seat of Shen Siming's late father as a contemporary jade connoisseur, and softly comforted the spirit of the old man who was still buried in the sky------ the jade master never dared to forget his old man who went overseas alone, and tried his best to leave a trace of revival for the almost extinct mountain gate inheritance.
Turning around, Shen Yuan found that Old Man Shen had already wet his cheeks with tears, and it seemed that this painful past in the hearts of the Shen family in Malaysia could now be explained.
After the incense was over, the three of them gently lowered the curtain and invited Elder Tang Zixuan of the outer hall to enter as evidence, Shen Yuan lived in the main seat, and the father and son of the Shen family simply completed a handover. A few earnest teachings, a few cold words and scolding! What is hidden under the words is actually the strong fatherly love and worry and reluctance of Old Man Shen for Shen Budo's young son.
Since then------ the outer hall of the Shen family and the jade master of Dama, and the nominal handover of the hall master has been completed in a low-key manner. The old man Shen Siming officially retired to the background and secretly presided over the overall situation to support all the actions of Shen Yuan and Shen Budo in the mainland.
In the brief conversation between the four people, it was implicitly that safeguarding the wishes of the seventy-first generation jade connoisseurs, finding the whereabouts of the seventy-first generation jade connoisseurs, and collecting and restoring the inheritance of the jade connoisseurs were the goals of this generation of jade connoisseurs.
Shen Yuan knew in his heart that the Malaysian Shen family still seemed to be unable to forget the tragic battle that almost wiped out the entire army, so why didn't he have great admiration for the fearless heart of his grandfather back then? Resentment against those who regard the common people as grass and mustard and so-called conform to the general trend!
The vicissitudes of life and the changes in the world have never been able to truly see through. Right and wrong, can really only be judged by future generations? Shen Yuan didn't know, Shen Budo didn't know.
The road ahead still seems to be a little vague, but it doesn't seem to be lonely, Minzhulin, the Five Immortals Sect, those few hidden Tongdao mountain gates------ as well as the Xuanyi Gate, which was known as the inheritance of a hundred mountain gates in its heyday, that is, the later Black-clothed Gate, this unpredictable but always huge and terrifying opponent since ancient times.
Shen Yuan chatted with the Shen family father and son plus Mr. Tang for a long time in the villa, and the old man Shen proposed to go back to Xiangjiang first to take care of the industry in the door, and then mention the person in charge of various places along the way. In the end, he sat in Nanyang and stabilized the foundation of the outer gate for Shen Budo.
Shen Yuan sincerely kept it, but the old man politely declined, and said bluntly, Shen Yuan's existence alone is enough to provoke some cultivation mountain gates in the world to move.
It is impossible to tell whether these people are friends or foes for the time being, and now we can only wait and see what happens. Tracing the inheritance and whereabouts of the old master and strengthening the hard power of the jade master on the mainland is the top priority now.
In the end, Mr. Shen proposed to transfer the leisure club and this villa that had just been bought not long ago to Shen Yuan.
Shen Yuan refused directly, he likes money, but he will never accept gifts for no reason easily, just like he has vague spiritual power and perception, and it has not been used in crooked ways over the years. What Shenyuan wants to pursue is the process of achieving the goal. Including fame and fortune!
The old man did not force it, but bluntly said that as long as Shen Yuan was the master of the door for one day, everything in the outer hall would be Shen Yuan's property. Shen Yuan smiled but didn't say anything、、、 all these years have passed, and the outer hall has long been self-contained overseas.
That is to say, Waitang has long had its own core interest circle, and Shen Yuan would not be stupid enough to think that just because he is the direct bloodline of the Shen family, the jade connoisseur, he can directly control a huge family industry.
Even if the father and son of the Shen family are loyal to the direct jade connoisseur, they will definitely not be able to suppress the collective resistance of the vested interest circle in the industry! Maintain the status quo、、、
In the inheritance and personal ability of the development and growth of the gradual development, and the outer hall in the core interests to achieve a win-win situation! That's the way to go! Mr. Tang, who faintly saw some of Shen Yuan's thoughts, couldn't help but be surprised for the first time by this young little master、、、 knew how to advance and retreat, and knew how to make trade-offs. Such people have the opportunity to achieve great things、、、
The old man hurried away on the fastest flight, and his steps seemed to be much lighter when he left. Shen Budo muttered to Shen Yuan outside the door, I hadn't seen him so happy when the old man married his third wife a few years ago、、、
Shen Yuan smiled quietly, the old man was relaxed because he let go of the biggest concerns of the father and son generations, but it seems that the old man also has his own shortcomings, that is, he is a little lustful, but this is fine. No one is perfect, flesh and blood, joys, sorrows, and sorrows live a true life. so that others will not be wary everywhere because they can't see through.
The place of the clubhouse is quite secret, but Shen Yuan does not plan to use this place as the base camp of his mountain gate, first, the smell of the outer hall here is too strong.
The second is that since Shen Yuan paid homage to the god in the incense hall, he always had an indescribable feeling in his heart, as if there was a place in the underworld calling him. It seems that that this is the place where the incense should be lit at the Jade Master Mountain Gate, which made Shen Yuan feel a little uneasy in his heart, so he simply stopped thinking about it.
Shen Yuan, who had been idle for another day, just wanted to go back to the unit building in Shengjing City to pack up his things and open for a few days, Shen Budo was also bored and discussed with Shen Yuan, and then went to the Mongolian District to find out if the tomb robbers who colluded with Wang Ziheng had left any clues.
Xiao Qi, who hadn't shown up for a few days, suddenly called Shen Budo! He said that he had bitten a few miscellaneous fish suspected of being related to the group of tomb robbers in Mongolia, and was approaching those people little by little.
It turned out that after suffering a loss and being injured at the hands of Wang Ziheng's group, Xiao Qi was thrown by Shen Budo to rest on the side of the club.
The inexplicable encounter in the Five Immortals Sect Tongyuan Fort Mountain made Shen Budo jealous, and before entering the mountain, Shen Budo sent Xiao Qi and a few subordinates to the western Liaoning region to sort out the information leaked out by the tomb robbers who were caught in the net.
By following the several lawyers hired by the tomb robbers without dead ends, Xiao Qi really found some clues.
Several unidentified people have been beating around the bush to provide a steady stream of support to a lawyer through the families of the two suspects. Money, curios, and even women can appear behind the lawyer and be used by him without even noticing.
Xiao Qi didn't dare to startle the snake, and tried his best to probe the heels of these people on the periphery. In the end, he set up a bureau to buy and use a 'second brother' with a high status in the local black forces to find a little opportunity to figure out the foothold of those suspected tomb robbers who slipped through the net.
Don't stop, don't worry about the road ahead, don't have any doubts, but ask for peace ------ seventy-one generation jade connoisseur Shen Xiyin
