283.Chapter 283: The Coffin of the Nine Sons (3)
After Joyce left, I didn't go directly to Jiang Ye's side, but looked in the ancestral hall, and a familiar figure appeared in front of me, about fifty years old, with thick eyebrows and thick lips.
When I was in Dongxing Town, I always heard people say that he was the mastermind behind the funeral in our town, and after a hurried farewell from Li Cunci, after a few months, I finally saw him again.
Seeing that I was looking at him, the Shuiyun real person nodded slightly, and what made me wonder was that he actually smiled at me, as if he was looking forward to seeing me.
"Chen Jiu, the old Taoist can look forward to you." He walked over, patted me on the shoulder, and said, "Housheng Yanzi, about Dongxing Town, Lao Dao has always wanted to find a chance to thank you, why don't you come to my room tonight and have a drink?" ”
He patted me on the shoulder very hard, and there was a faint pain, and I remembered an idiom in my mind, 'Hiding a knife in a smile', and Shui Yun Zhenren probably gave me this trick.
I didn't show weakness, so I said, "It's better to meet by chance, why don't you go out and have a drink now?" To repay the kindness of Shuiyun Zhenren that day? ”
He was stunned, glanced at me, a hint of murder flashed in his eyes, patted me on the shoulder again, and said, "Descendants, you should learn to be restrained, and be careful that you will not be able to enter the hall in the future." ”
What he said was a threat to Chi Guoguo, and according to our custom, those who died outside were not allowed to enter the hall.
I smiled and said, "It's the same with you, the hall is not so easy to enter. ”
After hearing this, his eyes became a little more vicious, and without speaking, he walked to the table of the eight immortals and stood behind a blind man.
I looked at the blind man, who had long sharp-beaked monkey cheeks and wore a pair of sunglasses, and as for why I knew he was blind, it was because he was groping for a cigarette on the table of the Eight Immortals.
"Chen Jiu, come here!" I've been sitting there and never spoken Jiang Ye's words.
I nodded, walked to Jiang Ye's side, called Jiang Ye respectfully, and was about to introduce the stammering to him, when he stopped and said, "Let's have a meeting first!" ”
In desperation, I had no choice but to give up, standing behind him, quietly looking at the people in the ancestral hall, trying to find Su Mengke's figure.
After looking at it for about three minutes, I couldn't find her, so I shouldn't be in the list of invitees anymore!
However, there was a young man in this ancestral hall who caught my attention, sitting near the entrance of the ancestral hall, similar to my youth, eighteen or nineteen years old, with a knife-like face, a high nose bridge, a bit like a Korean star, and with that dark gray tunic, a serious expression, giving people a sense of grandeur.
"Brother Jiu, that person is a good cow!" Guo Fatzi pointed at the young man and attached his ear.
I know the reason why he said this, the thirty metaphysical masters sitting next to the Eight Immortals Table in the entire ancestral hall, the youngest of them were all forty years old, and only the young man, at the age of eighteen or nineteen, sat next to the Eight Immortals Table, which was enough to prove the young man's ability.
The man seemed to have good hearing, and before Guo Fatzi could speak, he looked over and nodded at me, which was regarded as a greeting.
People are so polite, I can't be rude, so I smiled at him, who knows, the young man didn't pay attention to me at all, but sat quietly, his eyes fixed on the Liuyun Dao Leader who was sitting on the top.
I smiled awkwardly, and didn't pay attention to the young man anymore, but looked at the Liuyun Dao Elder who was sitting at the top, and saw him cough a few times, stood up, glanced at the ancestral hall, and said lightly: "Some time ago, Qing Yangzi called the old man, he was entangled in mundane things, and he couldn't leave, so he sent his apprentice Qing Xuanzi to participate in this big event, count the days, his apprentice should be almost there, as a junior, let so many elders wait for him, it's a bit unreasonable, let's not wait for him, let's have a meeting!" ”
"Daoist Qingxuanzi has arrived in Quyang, and he will be in Lujia Village immediately." I hurriedly explained to Qing Xuanzi on the side.
He turned his head, glanced at me, and said angrily, "The elders speak, and the juniors don't intervene." Xiao Jiang, take care of your people. ”
"Yes!" Jiang Ye nodded apologetically at the man, and motioned for me to stand aside and listen quietly, and not to speak.
I paused for a moment, listening to this tone, the old man's identity seemed to be higher than Jiang Ye, and it was not easy to refute him. After all, before entering the ancestral hall, He Jianhua had already told me that these metaphysical masters had a very strange temper.
The Liuyun Daoist glared at me dissatisfied, stunned, and said: "Thirty metaphysical masters of our Metaphysics Association have been in this Lujia Village for nearly half a year, and they are really incapable of prolonging the life of the old hero. ”
Speaking of this, the chief of the Liuyun Dao picked up the teacup in front of him, took a sip, and continued: "Everyone here more or less knows the old hero's family background, his nine sons, all rich, whenever the country encounters a disaster, the nine sons of the Lu family always donate the most money, take the Tangshan earthquake as an example, the nine sons of the Lu family donated nine million, and now Zhongnanhai says that the main family is the main family, and it is also considering the idea of the nine sons of the Lu family. However, as we all know, there is no harmony between the nine sons of the Lu family, and they regard their brothers as mortal enemies. ”
"Since ancient times, the firstborn son, like the father, should be the firstborn." Granny Qiao spoke first.
"Granny Qiao didn't listen to what she said, Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty was the second son, didn't he also become the emperor, and achieved the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, in my opinion, the second son should be the mainstay." The person who spoke was blind, and Shui Yun Zhenren was standing behind him.
"Luo Blind, do you think your words are good? The folk have been circulating that Sanyang Kaitai, the third is an auspicious number, and it should be dominated by three sons. A man about fifty years old next to the blind man said.
", the four seasons are safe, it should be dominated by the four sons."
"The five sons are in the department, and the five sons are the mainstay."
"Six or six Shun, mainly six sons."
"My opinion is that the seventh son of the old hero is good, he is humble, and he is the most filial among the nine sons of the Lu family. This was said by Jiang Ye.
"Master Jiang, what you said is a bit crooked, who of you here doesn't know that you have a good relationship with the seventh son of the Lu family, you are too selfish. According to what I see, the eight directions come to wealth, and the eight sons of the Lu family are the main ones, which means that the Lu family is prosperous and prosperous, and eight is an auspicious number in metaphysics, so it should be dominated by eight sons. ”
