Chapter 8: The Past
"Alas! Actually, it's not too glorious! ”
"My father was at the end of the Qing Dynasty before his death, and when my father saw that the previous dynasty was powerless, he wanted to prepare a way back for future generations."
Master Ren said slowly, and when he saw that everyone was focused, he continued.
"My father is confused! In his later years, he listened to the words of a charlatan, who chose a blessed land for his father, and asked his father to find nine children who were born in the lunar year. ”
"Said that after the death of my father, I will set up a nine-baby coffin bureau to ensure the glory of the Ren family for a hundred years!" Let the old man tell me!
Nine children!
Shi Chen couldn't help but hear this, and slapped the table and got up.
"How could Old Lady Ren do such a thing that lost his conscience!"
"Literary talents should not be unreasonable!"
Uncle Nine hurriedly pulled Shi Chen and said with a shout!
"Nine Babies Carrying the Coffin Bureau, Lin has also heard of it, but it is not ashamed to be a cultivator because it is too cruel, but the Nine Babies carrying the coffin can indeed ensure the wealth of future generations for a hundred years!" Uncle Nine turned his head to look at Master Ren and said!
"I won't tell you that in the ten years after the death of my father, the Ren family was indeed thriving, but in the past ten years, the Ren family has repeatedly hit a wall in the shopping mall, and the loss is not small. Now there are only me and Tingting left in the Ren family, and in recent months, I have dreamed of my father every night, and every time my father scolds and says that he wants to take me away! Master Ren looked at Uncle Nine and said with fear on his face!
"Master Lin, you are the most famous master in these ten miles and eight towns, you must save the Ren family this time, you can rest assured, there will be heavy thanks after the deed!"
In the end, Master Ren even pleaded in his tone, obviously there must be other hidden secrets about Old Lady Ren's burial.
"Don't worry, since Lin is here, he will definitely not sit idly by, so there must be something strange about the situation of the nine babies carrying the coffin, it has passed noon today, why don't you take me to the grave of the old lady Ren at noon tomorrow, okay?"
Uncle Jiu's eyes narrowed, and he agreed, it is the duty of the Taoist disciples to eliminate demons and defend the Dao, and it is the duty of both public and private.
"That's good, that's good, then I'll trouble Master Lin tomorrow." Master Ren hurriedly agreed.
"I have booked a room in this restaurant, Master Lin invites the students to rest, if you have any needs, please tell anyone, you don't have to be polite." Master Ren said.
"That's good, then Lin Mou is better to obey his fate respectfully, then tomorrow we will take a look at the grave of the old lady together, by the way, I am going to take office of the old lady's birthday, and there is also a paper, ink, pen and knife!" Uncle Nine said.
"Okay." Master Ren agreed.
In the room, the three masters and apprentices sat down.
"Master, it's still early in the morning, it's rare to come to Shicheng County, it's better to let us go out for a walk." Qiusheng poured tea for Uncle Nine as he spoke, and did not forget to squeeze Shi Chen's eyebrows and make eyes, making a secret signal.
When Shi Chen saw it, he immediately echoed it.
"Yes, master, I usually don't come to this Shicheng County if I have nothing to do, so if I happen to be free today, it is better to let the two of you go out and see the world."
Uncle Nine took the tea poured by Qiusheng, took a sip and said unhurriedly, "It's okay to let you out, but you have to be honest, you can't cause trouble everywhere for me." ”
Qiusheng was overjoyed when he heard this, and pulled Shi Chen to walk out, and replied as he walked, "Don't worry, master, we will never cause trouble for you!" ”
Uncle Nine looked at the two beloved disciples who were in a hurry with the tea, and shook his head helplessly.
Shicheng County.
Surrounded by mountains, serving the water, it is only a short more than 20 kilometers away from Ping'an Town, but the mountain road is difficult, so it takes an hour to reach it by horse-drawn carriage.
Shicheng has a long history, there have been many literati since ancient times, and at the same time, it is also the largest county town within a radius of 100 miles!
The street is very lively, extremely spacious and spacious.
The ground is neatly paved with square stone bricks, which is smooth and beautiful.
The dazzling array of goods is dazzling and dizzying; The cries of selling one after another are endless; The fragrance is evocative!
Compared with the market in Ping'an Town, it is the gap between thatched huts and mansions.
Qiusheng pulled Shi Chen, and the two of them stood in the middle of the street like a pair of mountain cannons that had just entered the city, at a loss for a while!
"Huh! Eldest brother! Why are you here? Standing on the street and not knowing where to go, a familiar voice came from behind Shi Chen and Qiusheng!
Shi Chen turned his head to look.
Hey?
Isn't this Shen Haiwei, how can we meet again in Shicheng County yesterday?
So Shi Chen asked curiously.
"Little brother Haiwei, why did you come to Shicheng County too?"
"That's the case, Uncle Li said that there is a medicine in the pharmacy, he doesn't have it, but there should be one in this city and county, Uncle Li said that the medicine is helpful for my mother's illness, so I rushed over early in the morning, didn't I just arrive here and see Brother Wencai standing here!" Shen Haiwei replied.
"What about Brother Wencai, why did you come to Shicheng County? What is this again? Shen Haiwei said curiously.
"The family teacher was invited by the master of Shicheng County today, so he brought my brothers to this Shicheng County." Shi Chen said.
"This is my brother, his name is Qiusheng, and this is the little brother I met yesterday named Shen Haiwei!"
Shi Chen introduced Qiusheng and Shen Haiwei one by one.
"Then I'll go find medicine first, and I'll come to you later."
"By the way, Brother Shi, where do you live?" Shen Haiwei asked.
"Okay, we'll live above the Ligang Tea Restaurant, Haiwei, you can come to us then." Shi Chen replied.
"Then let's go around first and see you later!" Shi Chen waved his hand at Shen Haiwei, and then he and Qiusheng squeezed towards the lively crowd in front!
Looking at Shi Chen and Qiusheng who gradually disappeared into the crowd, Shen Haiwei smiled evilly and muttered in a voice that only he could hear.
"Interesting! Interesting! I thought that I secretly followed him to absorb his pure yang essence to completely break through the shackles of the jade brand, but I didn't expect that there would be another autumn birth, it was really a surprise everywhere in life! But Lin Jiu, the old horseman, is also there? Looks like we'll have to tread carefully..."
Then the black light in Shen Haiwei's eyes flickered, and his breath became completely dull again.
From the perspective of others, he is still the harmless little boy who is human and animal.
Qiusheng and Shi Chen naturally didn't know about the changes in Shen Haiwei behind them.
The two people's minds were not on that at all.
Qiusheng pulled Shi Chen with a wicked smile, and the two walked along the street.
"Nerd, how many silver dollars do you have?" Qiusheng raised his eyebrows lightly and asked.
"Why are you asking this?"
Shi Chen subconsciously tightened the pocket on his chest.
"I'll take you to drink flower wine!"
Qiu Sheng shook his body in a trembling manner, revealing a look that a man understands.
"This..."
Shi Chen hesitated.
Flower wine...
Tsk, I don't know what the girl in this world looks like...
Thinking about it, Shi Chen was also a little thoughtful, and even ignored his chest, the jade pendant given by the ninth uncle on his birthday the year before last began to tremble slightly.
Qiusheng and Shi Chen looked at each other and smiled, and the two hit it off and walked into a small building called "Juchun Building" on the side of the road.
