Chapter 254: Lu Zhishen
"What are you going to do again?" I just agreed with Zhang Momo and the others to get together, but saying this is tantamount to pulling me away. I've missed appointments several times, and if I leave now, the faces of the three of them will definitely fall to the ground.
"Oh, am I the kind of person who is troublesome?" Hearing the unhappiness in my tone, Mediterranean immediately explained: "It's strange, if you have time, it's best to visit, if you really don't have time, then ...... That's it. β
The Mediterranean Sea shouldn't be okay to pull me back and forth, he is a person who has seen the world, if it weren't for the fact that things were beyond imagination and control, he wouldn't have let me run to Fang Shan again at night.
I hesitated for a moment, I felt that I couldn't stand Zhang Momo and them, I was busy during this time, and I was negligent in contacting them, but today it was easy to take a break, everyone got together and was lively, and I had to leave again after half of it.
But when I think about it, what I am doing now actually revolves around major events, and I know which is more important, and the three of them should be able to understand it.
I asked Mediterranean to send me the address and went back to the dinner table. Lao Wang and Ning Kitten were chattering there, and I coughed and told them that there was something urgent I needed to deal with.
Sure enough, the faces of the three people immediately fell, and I hurriedly explained, and then left the hotel in a hurry.
Until I drove on the road, there seemed to be cold sweat on my forehead, and Zhang Momo's eyes were too sharp for me to parry.
At this time, I was very curiously reminded of a conversation with Blind San'er three or four years ago. At that time, I hadn't been involved in this matter, I was living in Qikongqiao in a bland way, like many young people, after work, I had some hobbies of my own, and that kind of life was not very happy, but it was normal.
Once, when I was drinking, Blind San'er might have drunk high and talked to me about life. He told me that God is actually very fair, that whatever He gives you, he will have to go, and if he wants to go, he will give you something.
To put it bluntly, this is called giving. If there is giving, there will be gain, and if there is gain, there must be giving, and it is impossible for one person to take all the good things.
The ancestors pondered this point very clearly, in traditional Chinese culture, nine is the extreme number, the largest number, there is no greater than it, ninety-nine is true, ninety-five respect. In fact, there are many numbers greater than nine, but nine is a hurdle that no one can cross.
In this world, there is no such thing as being truly perfect. Today's matter is just a trivial matter, I get together with Zhang Momo and them, so I can't go to the Mediterranean, and I have to let Zhang Momo and their pigeons go. It's a small thing, but there's a big truth in it.
This may be the helplessness of life.
I set off from Huayang city before eight o'clock, encountered emergency repairs on the county road on the way, and detoured the road, delayed a lot of time, until almost twelve o'clock in the night, before I came to Fangshan.
Theoretically speaking, at the foot of the square mountain to drive inside, you can still walk, but at most three or four kilometers later, there is a section of the road is particularly narrow, the car is dangerous in the past, and the side of the road is a ditch more than ten meters deep, a miss is a catastrophe, so I stopped to call the sea, the seasea said, he sent someone to pick me up at the intersection of the road, he had already sent it, let me go there to shout, the person who picked me up will come out.
I drove three or four kilometers from the foot of the mountain, and at the junction of the path, I saw their car coming from the Mediterranean. I stopped, and before I could shout, a young man of seventeen or eighteen accosted me.
As soon as I heard his accent, I knew that this young man must be from the north side of the new town. Some places in the north of the new city border Shanxi, and they also speak with Shanxi accents. Mediterranean usually speaks Mandarin when he communicates with people, but in fact, his own accent is exactly the same as this young man.
As soon as the two of them talked, this man was indeed sent from the Mediterranean, and led me down the path to the inside. This young man was only seventeen or eighteen years old, but he walked with great stride and looked particularly capable. I think he should have practiced martial arts since he was a child.
I wanted to ask him what was going on in the mountains, but the young man didn't know that he had come here to be a helper, and if Mediterranean didn't speak, he couldn't get close to the place where the incident happened. I can't tell if he really doesn't know, or if he knows and doesn't want to say.
Follow this path all the way, about a mile or so, the road is wide, but the terrain is a bit rugged and bumpy. The weeds on the side of the road grew so thick that they covered half of the road. This is the only road to Fangshan Taoist Temple, a long time ago, when Fangshan Taoist Temple incense was vigorous, this road was often walked, and it was completely deserted in these twenty or thirty years.
After walking for about an hour and a half, we arrived at Fangshan Taoist Temple. This is the first time I've been here, and when I look at it, the temple is really small and dilapidated, and two rooms have collapsed in half. There were about five or six people, squatting outside the dilapidated Taoist temple, smoking and chatting.
The young man who led the way brought me here, and then he didn't go any further, but pointed to me on a path on the right hand side of the Taoist temple. He said, "Walk three or four hundred meters down the path from here, and the Mediterranean Sea will be waiting for me over there."
I walked 200 meters along the path, and the terrain became higher and higher, but the next 1200 meters, the terrain gradually turned lower. At the end of the trail, there is a relatively flat mountainous area. There were almost no people in the depths of the mountain, and the vegetation was quite lush, and as soon as I walked here, by the moonlight, I saw the Mediterranean Sea squatting there with a man.
I saw them, and they saw me, and they stood up together. The Mediterranean man was short, and the man next to him was almost a head taller than him, and he had to look like a meter eighty-five.
"Dude, I'm really sorry." Mediterranean knew how many hours of tossing and turning came before he called me here, and as soon as we met, he was busy apologizing, and I felt that he had been waiting here for a long time, with cigarette butts on the ground.
"It's important to get down to business, I'm here, what's polite."
"I knew that you were a man of general knowledge." Mediterranean pointed to the tower-like man beside him and introduced to me: "Brother, let me introduce to you, this is my hair small, really small, growing up together." β
When Mediterranean was introduced, I could imagine that his relationship with this big man should be unusual, and everyone else was blocked from the Taoist temple, and only the big man could follow, which showed that Mediterranean had very full trust in him.
The big man held out his hand to shake my hand, and I looked at each other and felt a little strange. The man was probably three or four years younger than Mediterranean, and was not only tall, but also very stocky. He has a bald head, two particularly thick eyebrows, and a beard, which is carved out of the same mold as Lu Zhishen in the Water Margin.
Thinking about this, I shook hands with the big man, and as soon as I touched his hand, I felt as if I was holding an iron pair of tongs, his hands were large, and the palms were thick, and the palms and knuckles were full of calluses.
This hand was so powerful that I suspected that he would be able to break my finger bones if he pushed hard.
According to the Mediterranean, this person's surname is Wuyi, called Wuyi, because the person is tall and big, has a bald head all the year round, and has a particularly thick eyebrows and beard, so people who know him have called him Lu Zhishen a long time ago. After calling him for so many years, no one called him by his real name.
The two of them are sworn friends, and they have a lifelong friendship. When Mediterranean was abducted by his fiancΓ©e, he had only savings, and he borrowed wine every day to drown his sorrows, and Lu Zhishen rushed over from his hometown and accompanied him every day. Lu Zhishen drinks a lot, and it is no problem to drink with the Mediterranean Sea for three days and three nights. The problem of sticky wine in the Mediterranean was developed at that time.
Lu Zhishen has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and he has been practicing diligently for twenty or thirty years, and later accepted a group of apprentices and relied on this to eat. After being depressed for a while, he met a nobleman and took him into the ancient line, and since then he has taken root in the ancient line and done business in this area. When his business became bigger, he called Lu Zhishen here.
At that time, the ancient industry was relatively chaotic, especially those who took the road of martial arts, relying on the strength of the crowd, bullying and dominating the market, and such a pure merchant as the Mediterranean, if no one covered it, would suffer every day. Lu Zhishen brought a group of apprentices who practiced martial arts to support the scene, and he immediately calmed people down. The group of little apprentices under him are all teenagers, no matter who the other party is, as long as they dare to find trouble, a group of people will come out with knives to chop people. The people in the ancient line are mainly seeking wealth, and no one dares to play with their lives as soon as they come up. Therefore, under the maintenance of Lu Zhishen, the foundation of the Mediterranean Sea is becoming more and more stable, and he can do business, and no one can move him for more than ten years.
The business of the Mediterranean is getting bigger and bigger, and Lu Zhishen's apprentices have received batch after batch, which is deeply rooted, even if it is Zhao Sanyuan of Xincheng, he will not do anything about the Mediterranean. The Mediterranean is very disciplined in doing business, does not force people to buy and sell, does not cheat people, no one is offended, and the relationship with all parties is maintained well, for this kind of person, there is no reason and no need to move him.
The Mediterranean brain is easy to use, and Lu Zhishen has a high force value, this is a golden pair.
I estimated that the Mediterranean told me that he would bring someone with him during this operation, and the person he might want to bring was Lu Zhishen.
When I shook hands with Lu Zhishen and greeted him, Yu Guang glanced at the side. There is no doubt that the pit that has just been dug out not far from the two of them must be the grave of Forgotten Dust.
Mediterranean used to say that he was buried in the dust, and it was a standard burial, buried in a coffin. I didn't see the coffin for a while, because the pit was covered with clothes and blocked the coffin.
"Brother Hai, what the hell is going on."
"How can I tell you this?" Mediterranean gave me a cigarette, scratched his bald head, and said, "You have been in the ancient line for so long, have you ever heard of demons?" β
"Demon? What demon? β
"It's a fox spirit, a yellow skin, a big flower snake, and these things." Mediterranean gestured for a moment and said, "Didn't someone say that if these demon fairies live for a long time, they can become humans." β
"That's." I shook my head, in Huayang folklore, there are indeed rumors of gods, ghosts, ghosts and ghosts, the eight great demon immortals, fox spirits incarnate to repay kindness or something, but these are just legends.
"It doesn't have to be." Mediterranean took two puffs of cigarette, threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stepped on it, stood up, took off the clothes covering the coffin one by one, and said, "You take a look first." β
