After a while, we came to an upscale residential area. Along the road, you can see a row of ornate fences with barbed wire, and a large number of trees are planted inside, and a large canopy can be seen through the walls.

At the intersection ahead, turn left and see tall maple trees on either side of the sky. At the end of the straight road, I saw the gate, and when I got closer, I saw a person standing guard on the left and right sides of the gate, dressed in a uniform similar to a military uniform.

Just as we had stopped the car, one of them stepped forward, first gave a military salute, and then asked, "Hello sir, who are you looking for?" The master, who was sitting in the passenger seat, took out a business card and handed it to the man.

I took it, and when I held the thin business card in my hand, I felt that it was actually metal, surrounded by a hollowed-out pattern, and a name was engraved in gold-plated traditional characters in the middle

"Dong Zhiwei", I only had time to glance at it, and then handed it to the security guard outside. The security guard took it with both hands, and just glanced at it and handed it back with both hands, and I took back the business card and handed it back to Master.

The two security guards stood back at their posts and saluted us. The large iron door that had been closed was slowly opening, and I started the car and drove in.

I saw that there were trees inside, and at every other end of the distance, there were forks in the trees on both sides, and there was a sign at the intersection with the number written on it.

Looking inside from the fork in the road, you can see a very luxurious yard. I didn't drive far when Master told me to turn right and enter through a sign marked with the number eight.

Turn into the intersection and walk about 100 meters, and see a hollow gate in front of you. At this time, a man in a black suit came to the door, took one look at Master and me, and then the door opened automatically.

Then he drove inside the gate, and the Master said, "When you arrive, stop here!" The keys are left in the car. Then I opened the door and got out of the car, and I got out of the car with me.

A machine rattle was heard, and the openwork door closed automatically, and the man opened the door and got into the car, then started the car and drove to the left.

Master didn't pay attention to this, and walked to the hall in front of me, and I turned around and walked a few quick steps to follow Master.

At the door of the hall, there was a man in a black suit standing next to the open door. When I saw Master walk in, he didn't react, and I followed in, but he stretched out his hand to stop me.

At that moment, a voice said, "The old don't need to be searched." "I looked over and saw a man standing on the second floor of the hall.

The man was not very tall, with a flat haircut, thin cheeks, no beard, a floral shirt on his upper body, and a cup in his hand, and he was going down the stairs on either side.

The person who was blocking the way put down his hand, and I walked towards the master, secretly saying in my heart that this was not a normal place.

"I'm sorry to take a trip. Come on, make tea! It turned out that he was just wearing a pair of shorts and slippers on his feet, and he was talking before he walked to us.

"Come, come, sit down and talk." After shouting to make tea, he beckoned us to sit down, when a woman came out of the corner of the first floor, she slowly came to the sofa and began to boil water to make tea.

Master and I sat down on the sofa, and my first feeling was that the sofa was so soft that I couldn't sit down.

"Xiaodong, let me introduce you, this is my apprentice, called Fenglin." As soon as the Master sat down, he spoke.

He looked back at me and said, "He's the Dong brother I told you." I nodded and said hello, "Brother Dong!" But I muttered in my heart, Master didn't tell me.

Brother Dong on the other side put down the cup in his hand, looked at the master and said, "Old man, I called you here this time!" There's a tricky thing I want you to see. ”

"Oh! What is it? Master asked. Dong Ge took out a box from under the coffee table and said, "It was my horse who had an accident, and I couldn't wake up this morning, like I was dead." He took out a cigar from the box, sniffed it, lit it and smoked it, and continued as he smoked: "I also called the doctor to see it, and I didn't see anything wrong, saying that I was overworked and in a coma, so I prescribed some glucose for her to hang." He didn't let her do anything, so why was she overworked? ”

"Did she do anything unusual the other day?"

"Anomalies? Nothing out of the ordinary! It's just that the spirit is not very good, but that's what she sucks fans! Dong Ge smoked a cigar, half on the sofa, his feet already on the coffee table.

"Xiaodong, are you sure she's just sucking fans?"

"How the do I know, there's one in the house, and she sucks it a lot." The woman who was making tea next to her put the brewed tea in front of the three of us, and the master coughed and said, "Then will you be able to see her herself?" ”

"You take them to see it." Dong Ge said, kicking the woman who made the tea. Master stood up, and I sat outside, and I stood up as well, and the woman led us up the stairs on the right side to the second floor.

When she reached the second floor, she opened the door of the first room on her right, and the three mermaids entered, and then the door was shut.

In the middle of the large room was a large red round bed, with a pink plush carpet on the floor, and the bedding on the bed was all red.

There is also a row of white wardrobes against the wall, and there are more than a dozen mirrors on the doors.

When I followed Master to the bedside, I saw a woman lying on the bed, covered with a quilt. With short hair, a pale complexion, dark eyes, and chapped lips, it is conceivable that she must have been a pure and beautiful woman when she was healthy.

Master whispered to her who brought us in, "Do you know what happened to her the other day?" The woman bit her lip, thought for a moment and said, "It should be the day before yesterday, I found that she was not in good spirits and didn't eat much." ”

"Did she go out the day before yesterday or yesterday?"

"No, she only came back with Brother Dong the night before yesterday, and they had a fight that night, and then they didn't go out of the house."

"How long has she been with Brother Dong?" Master asked with a frown.

"I didn't know, I saw her for the first time the night before yesterday too." Hearing this, the master sighed and said, "I understand, you help take out her hand and take the pulse." She stepped forward and reached into the bed and groped for a while, and a white hand was pulled out.

Master pressed his two fingers lightly on his wrist and closed his eyes slightly. There was not a single stain on the slender hand, and it was as white as a child's skin.

I stood aside, carefully examining her haggard face and white hands, and absurd thoughts appeared in my mind.

"Do you know her name?" Master asked, withdrawing his hand.

"I don't know, I heard Brother Dong just call her little baby." Hearing this, Master shook his head and said, "Let's go down now!" Leaving the bedroom on the second floor and returning to the living room on the first floor, when he saw us walking down, Brother Dong asked, "Old man, how is the situation?" ”

"Xiaodong, I want to talk to you alone." Master said.

"Oh! Then let's go to the study and talk. Dong Ge stood up and walked with Master to the left room on the first floor.

I sat back on the couch, my mind still haunting the appearance of the short-haired woman.

"Come for tea." The woman making tea interrupted my thoughts. I smiled and picked up my teacup, took a sip, and said without words.

"It's really good tea." But I don't really know anything about tea. She just smiled faintly and didn't say anything.

There were three people in the quiet hall, including me, but no one spoke. The security guard just stood there blankly, and the woman next to him just sat when she wasn't making tea, looking somewhere without saying a word, not knowing what she was thinking.

I glanced at them, pondering in my head. After a while, she involuntarily picked up the teacup and took a sip, and the dry teacup would be filled by her again, thinking about it and thinking about the short-haired woman who was now lying on the bed on the second floor.

She's the prettiest woman I've ever seen, is it because she's so well maintained? So how are snow-white hands maintained?

I subconsciously glanced at my hand, which was thin and short, with a lot of small scars, and the first section of the middle finger of my right hand also had a callus due to frequent writing.

Just as they were contemplating the body and the woman, Master and Dong Ge came out of the study. The Master did not return to his seat, but walked straight to the bedroom he had just had.

Dong Ge returned to the couch, and when I looked at him, he happened to look at me, and I immediately lowered my head and avoided his gaze.

"Little brother, what's your name?" Dong Ge asked. I wondered in my heart, didn't Master introduce me?

But he said: "Brother Dong, my name is Fenglin." ”

"Oh! How long have you been growing old? ”

"It's been almost a year."

"Oh! Did you learn something? ”

"What Master taught is very difficult to understand, and I haven't learned it yet." I replied honestly, my eyes fixed on the teacup in front of me.

"Follow the old and promising, come and drink tea." ..... Just as the East Brother was asking questions, Master came down from the second floor and sat down on the sofa.

"Xiaodong, people should be able to wake up in the afternoon, and then we will deal with it according to what we have discussed." Master said.

"Well, this time it's thanks to the old man. Come on, here's your cost this time. As he spoke, he took out a bulging envelope from another cabinet on the coffee table and handed it to Master.

The master took it and said, "Xiaodong, there are some things that I have already explained to you. It's better to pay attention. ”

"Understand, you can rest assured when you are old, come and drink tea." After a while, the master stood up and said, "It's not too early, let's go back first, Xiaodong, if there is any other situation, remember to inform me in time." ”

"That's for sure, you walk slowly at that age. Hadron asked people to drive out of the old car. Dong Ge said, only to see the man at the door muttering a few words to the collar.

Walking out of the living room door, the car pulled out to our right. I got into the car and sat in the driver's seat, and Master sat in the passenger seat.

Start the vehicle and go out of the community from the same road. Not long after leaving the community, Master said, "Xiaofeng, let's find a place to have lunch in front of us." "We stopped in front of a Sichuan restaurant, went into the shop, and together with Master, we ordered three dishes and one soup.

While waiting for the food to be served, the master said, "Xiaofeng, since you have mastered the method of meditation, I want to give you a lesson when I go back in the afternoon." ”

"Thank you, Master." I said happily. After thinking about it, he asked, "Master, what's wrong with that woman?" ”

"She lost three souls, although I don't know the specific reason, but now she has been recruited." Master took a sip of the tea brought by the waiter and said.

I thought of her face and asked Master, "Is she really Dongge's girlfriend?" Hearing this, the master frowned and said, "Xiaofeng, why do you care about this?" But it doesn't hurt to tell you, I don't know if she is Dong Zhiwei's girlfriend, but she is the daughter of the vice chairman of the Liao Group. "I have heard of Liao's Group, it is one of the largest companies in Guangdong, and our company has also had some business intersections with them.

"Oh! So how can you be with someone like Dong Ge? I muttered.

"At first, I was just suspicious, but then I asked Dong Zhiwei in order to summon the soul, and he said it himself. Xiaofeng, this kind of thing is very common, but it has nothing to do with us. Master said meaningfully.

Master's words are clear to me that people of their level really have nothing to do with me, but I vaguely want to understand her in my heart.

After lunch, Master and I went to His residence. Master's place of residence is not a residential area, it is a two-story house from the Republic of China period in the old city, and the house is made of red bricks.

There are square windows on the wall, which are carved and hollowed out of white stone, and you can see the lush greenery through the windows.

Master opened the gate and went inside, and sure enough, there were a lot of plants planted, and it was like a small garden.

Follow him through the living room, to the right room, which is a study, and on the left hand side of the wall is a whole shelf full of books, and in the middle there is a large vermilion desk, and in front of the desk are four vermilion wooden chairs on the left and right.

On the right hand side of the room is a table of eight immortals with intricately carved patterns, on which are placed old-fashioned porcelain pots and teapots, as well as a thermos flask and a plate of half-covered teacups.

Sticking to the wall is a conspicuous shrine, in the center of the shrine is the statue of the Emperor of the Arctic of Zhongtian crape myrtle, in front of a large incense burner, and then by the external saucer placed a row, enshrined fruits and desserts.

"Xiaofeng, you sit down first, and I'll go get the supplies." Master said as he walked towards the bookshelf, and I sat casually on a wooden chair and waited for Master.

After a while, the master came over with a wooden box and put it on the table of the Eight Immortals. I also followed, only to see him open the lid of the box, and there was a roll of yellow cloth, brushes, inkstones, etc., and then took them out one by one and put them on the table.

I watched from the sidelines and didn't speak. The Master opened the small box, took out a piece of red from it, and said as he made it, "This is cinnabar, which is mixed with wine and used to write the inscription." Master said as he did it.

I saw him spread out the yellow cloth and write vertically from right to left with a brush dipped in cinnabar. During this period, he also asked me about the date of birth and the specific time of birth in the lunar calendar, all of which were written on the yellow cloth.

After a while, a large sheet of yellow cloth was filled with dense red characters, and after writing, the master dipped his five fingers in cinnabar and pressed it at the end, and asked me to do the same again, and then put away the other things, leaving only the yellow cloth on the table.

After placing the wooden box, the master found two futons and placed them in front of the shrine, and then said to me, "Xiaofeng, you can just follow me for a while, and you don't need to speak." I saw him take out three sticks of incense from the small platform under the shrine and light them on the oil lamp, and I stood aside and followed along.

After lighting the incense, he returned to the futon, raised his eyebrows and knelt on the futon, and the master said: "Zhongtian Ziwei Palace Dongyangzi is fortunate to have an apprentice, the qualification is still good, and he is under his knees. The palace gate was opened, the preaching was given, and Dongyangzi and his disciple Nanshengzi kowtowed. After speaking, he bowed three times, and then inserted the incense into the incense burner.

"Xiaofeng, you continue to kneel." Master said, and I knelt back on the futon. The Master picked up the yellow cloth and began to recite it, and finally lit the yellow cloth and put it in the brazier, knelt back on the futon and prostrated again.
