Chapter 367: The Palace
However, if you want to go out "chic" for a month or two, you can get two beauties to eat in person, one bought a lot of good dishes and kept busy, and the other deliberately took time out of his busy work, Yuan Jinzhu was naturally happy, especially when Sister Yun, who was dressed in professional clothes, entered the door, and the mouth was almost never closed.
There is nothing to pack in the luggage, and a few pieces of clothes are stuffed into the "Qiankun Wuji Treasure Bag", which has everything, especially the "Qiankun Wuji Treasure Bag", which is dominated by small yellow books, even if the packaging is completed. So they packed their luggage, and when He Shuman, who drove over, arrived, and after they were full of wine and food, the master and apprentice were ready to leave.
"Fa Xiao, thank you for rushing over to see me off in your busy schedule, this friendship, surnamed Yuan, must be remembered in my heart, dare not forget." I don't know if it's the effect of alcohol, or if I forgot about it happily, after Yang Xiaotian went out with the dirty and old denim bag on his back, Yuan Jinzhu said to Sister Yun with an affectionate face.
"Don't be disgusting, my mother, I just heard that there is something delicious, come over for a meal, it's about you Yuan Jinzhu's eggs, don't be sentimental, and don't look in the mirror to see how disgusting you are, and you're still small, are you worthy?" If an unserious person is serious, it will only appear more improper, so this seemingly serious sentence is completely different when he hears Sister Yun's ears, so after spitting on the ground, he directly burst into a foul mouth.
He was scolded for splitting his head and covering his face, but Yuan Rotren was not annoyed, his smile remained unchanged, and he turned to look at Zhang Xiao and said with a smile: "Sister, I will think about you every day, and I want you to cook the best meal in the world." ”
The little daughter-in-law was slightly stunned, and then said with a smile like a flower: "Get out, I don't want you to think about it, and be careful to be beaten if you talk nonsense." ”
"I miss this thing for a lot of kinds, your man won't be jealous, he's not so stingy, and besides, you, the Taoist master, are the first to be optimistic, and the heaven-sent marriage is better than that of the fairy couple, and the credit of the Taoist master is indispensable, so he doesn't dare." Cheap skin is always cheap skin, thick skin can go straight to the moon, not scolded and uncomfortable, with a fan-like confident smile, this shameless guy even wants to learn from the foreigner to hug goodbye, was scolded by the little daughter-in-law slut to dodge, only to withdraw his hand and scratch his ears to look at me, affectionately said: "Brother, let's go." ”
The few goodbyes I had at this time had been wiped out, and I just thought that this guy who seemed to be born to disgust others quickly disappeared from front of me, so I blurted out: "Get out." ”
On the other side, Yang Xiaotian, who put the big bag in the trunk of the car, has also appeased Wang Xing, a fool who has almost never stopped crying since he learned that "Brother Xiaotian" was going to go far away, and he didn't even eat. And He Shuman, who came to pick up people, although he was cold by nature, couldn't help but smile under the stimulation of this indescribable harmonious picture.
"Get out, it's as you wish, don't miss me too much." In the end, in the laughter of the slut surnamed Yuan pretending to be arrogant, but in fact he was still extremely obscene, the master and apprentice got into He Shuman's car and gradually left.
"Brother Xiaotian, you have to come back early! I miss you every day! Just as the car was about to drive out of the street, the fool Wang Xing shouted loudly.
I have to admit that as long as there is this shameless guy, it will never be too cold and boring, so with his departure, the shop that has always been bustling with excitement by him suddenly became much more deserted.
Fortunately, there is another fool, otherwise if I am alone for almost half of the day, this day will be really boring. Although the IQ is only seven or eight years old, although I still don't like it, I still have someone who can talk.
As the renovation progress of the courtyard is getting deeper and deeper, not only the courtyard porch is getting more and more messy, but even the room is becoming more and more messy, and the chaos is almost impossible to live in, only the back hall dedicated to the ancestors of the past dynasties, and the rooms of the two old men have been spared. Naturally, the place where Master Zu lives can't be moved casually, not to mention outsiders, even I can't go in casually if I want to, and the old man is not happy to toss, he is used to the original furnishings of the room, so he will follow him as it is.
In order to let me have a quiet place to recuperate, and not be upset by the messy environment when I am in pain, the little daughter-in-law will be under her constraints, not tossed too much by Yuan Jinzhu, and after the small room that is barely tidy is relocated, we also live in the store, so as not to run around in the morning and evening, and go back again the next day, and the family has a dinner together, but it didn't last a few days, because my mother went back to her hometown, so I still have to go back to make dinner every day. It doesn't matter if my father is still young, but the two old men can't do it, so they can only eat leftovers at noon, or outside meals, and the little daughter-in-law can't be happy enough, how can they have dinner, so they just lived in the store for five days, and the little couple lived back in the courtyard, going out in the morning and coming back in the afternoon.
After all, it is a rural family, and there are pigs and chickens and ducks at home, and it is not appropriate to ask others to take care of it for too long, so after hearing that an old man in Pan's courtyard has passed away, my mother went back to help, and decided to wait a few days to go home together to kill the New Year's pig, and then the family will go back to the provincial capital for the New Year.
As for the foolish boy Wang Xing, after I found the landlord to discuss and testify, I simply took the initiative to find the owner of an adult store, and bought all the remaining goods in the store at the wholesale price, and the advertising signs were also removed and disposed of at a low price. This fool doesn't understand what business is at all, basically selling blindly, selling money indiscriminately, others only need to say a few good words, they often buy the same and give a few things, and even from time to time there are mixed in for nothing, coaxing but simply rob the master directly, others can't prevent it at all, rather than lose like this, it is better to sell it at one time, the money is kept in my place, eat with us at noon every day, and then give him just enough money to eat at night, only go back to the store to sleep crisply, but also make people worry a lot.
Yang Xiaotian, who agreed to take care of this fool, has already gone out to train, and the little daughter-in-law doesn't have much time, so this kind of hard work can only fall on me.
No matter how rough it is in the dark, on the surface, it is still as calm as water.
It wasn't until the time approached the wax moon again, and the year was getting closer and closer, that there was finally a change.
When I returned to the courtyard that day, after dinner, the old man took out the key to the back hall with the door locked, opened the door and called me in.
Although I have been worshipping the sect for more than ten years, I have entered this hall where the ancestors of the past generations have lived very rarely, and it is the first time I have entered after returning to the provincial capital as a real painter.
The furnishings in the hall are also very simple, mainly the portraits of the ancestors of the past dynasties. The highest place in the middle of the front wall, the extremely open mountain patriarch Li Changmeng, the left position is half of the second generation of the patriarch, the right side is the third generation of the patriarch, and then with the same height, so as to distribute it to both sides, the left is double, the right is single, the generation is arranged in order, just hung all over the three walls, only at the end of the right wall there is a vacant position of a painting, exactly thirty-four generations of painters, except for the different heights, sturdy and thin faces, each of the clothes and decorations are exactly the same, It was the pure black robe that I had only seen the old man wear once, the lines were soft and lifelike, like three or four people staring at the room on the wall.
In addition, except for a long offering table and an incense burner, a handful of tribute incense, two candlesticks, a few bottles that were exactly the same as the strange bottles found in Pan Guanghai's pigsty, a small box with a lock at the bottom, and two futons, there were no other things in the whole hall.
There are no windows in the back hall, or there was originally, and it has been sealed later, only a yellowish and dim lamp on the top to illuminate it, but it does not make people feel damp, cold and oppressive, nor is it the feeling of being stared at by thirty or forty pairs of eyes on the wall, but it makes people feel a little comfortable.
And this kind of comfortable feeling is something I didn't have when I came here before.
After lighting a pair of white candles on the candlestick, putting on three sticks of incense, so that I could also put on incense, and kowtowing to Li Changmeng, the founder of the mountain, nine times, the old man sat down on the futon with his back to the offering table and face to face with me.
"The ancients used copper as a mirror, but they could be dressed, and the ancients were used as a mirror to know the rise and fall, and people were used as a mirror, and they could see the gains and losses. This is a thousand years of painting spirit inheritance, all the essence of the place, but also the only place where the fruit remains, thirty-four generations of painting spirit people are enshrined with this, there is time in the future, boy, you can come to sit more, more incense to the grandfather, to the ancestors of the past generations as a mirror, there will always be some benefits, remember not to be too greedy for men and women's love, fame and fortune. Although singing night and night is good, it is also the joy of ecstasy, boy, your soul is not neat, and it is not good to be too addicted. ”
Rao knew that the old man was talking about business, and he didn't mean to make fun of him, but when he heard the last two sentences, I still frowned slightly, a little red-faced, and then nodded slightly.
Since my body has gradually improved, it has basically no effect, and after I finally got my wish, it has been a little out of control, and it seems to be more frequent. After all, living in a courtyard and wanting not to spread any movement is too unrealistic.
Fortunately, the old man never stayed on a question for too long, often just clicked and stopped, and this was no exception, and after looking at me and smiling lightly, he changed the subject.
"The teacher will leave early tomorrow morning, and during this period of absence, you must also be more diligent, boy, and you must not slack off."
"Huh? Master, where are you going? I couldn't help but pause again, and then I realized what the old man was saying, and my expression suddenly became a little anxious: "Master, you mean that Xie Yifan's matter is not solved in the provincial capital, and even if the disciple has already entered the Gate of Soul Order, he still can't participate in this matter?" ”
I knew that even if I became a real spirit painter, with the temperament of an old man, he would not let me participate too much in dealing with Xie Yifan, but I didn't expect that he would directly exclude me as before, and he had no intention of letting me participate at all.
The old man smiled slightly, and after being silent for two seconds, he said: "Boy, when you meet people who are not ladylike and do not know people, you have caused the sect to fall into a crisis, this is originally the responsibility of the teacher, and even you are the victim of it, so in front of the ancestors of the past generations, how can you be completely involved as a teacher?" And in the rules of this door, there is a legacy that will not be passed on to the next generation, and it is necessary to protect the next generation of descendants from being harmed by the evil way, so if you are forced to do so, even if you think about it, you can't be implicated. ”
Listening to this explanation, I couldn't help but be stunned, and it took a moment to react, and I asked unwillingly: "Is there such a rule in the door?" Why have the disciples never heard of it? ”
"Draw the spirit of the door rules thirteen, used to restrain the disciples is only two or three out of ten, the rest are used to restrain the head of the people, only when you take over the head of the house, can you know all the content of the door rules, boy, you don't know that there is this, isn't it a very normal thing?" The old man said with a smile.
"But...... Only Master, can you deal with Xie Yifan and the many monsters he raised? "As soon as I heard that it was the door rules, I immediately felt a little wilted, even if I had doubts in my heart, in front of the portraits of the ancestors of the past generations, a full thirty-four pairs of eyes, I did not have the courage to question.
After speaking, I remembered that the old man had said that the twenty-fourth and twenty-fifth generations of ancestors had spent more than 30 years together to suppress the re-emergence of the Wu Yue line, and hurriedly said: "Master, the disciple remembers that you told me that during the period from the Ming Dynasty to the Sizong, the two generations of masters and ancestors worked together and spent more than 30 years to suppress the re-emergence of the world. ”
The old man smiled and explained, "Because the situation is different. When the twenty-four generations of the master and ancestor, there was no disciple who fell into the devil and rebelled from the master, but the Wu Yue lineage, which was not completely eliminated, reappeared, and naturally the two generations of masters and ancestors who were masters and apprentices at that time joined forces. But now the teacher is facing not Wu Yue's line, but the criminal, and he has not found out that Wu Yue's line still has clear information about collusion with him, so the teacher naturally can't implicate you. ”
"Really...... Isn't there room for negotiation? "Rao is the old man explained the difference very clearly, and I am still very unwilling.
The old man smiled and shook his head slightly.
My whole body was like a leaky balloon, completely deflated and wilted.
"How so? ……”
Seeing that I was muttering to myself, the old man smiled and was silent for a while, then stopped continuing the topic, reached into the breast pocket of his tunic and took out an extremely delicate, but only ten centimeters long, the thickness of the little finger, as crystal as white jade, and even the tip of the pen was snow-white, as if it had never been used.
Rao was full of unwillingness and powerlessness at this time, but I was still attracted when I saw this moment when it was as delicate as an exhibit, spotless, as if it was not a mortal thing.
