At that moment, I immediately said to Han Jingui, "Han Palace Master, the kid is still young, he can't compare to everyone here, how can he be qualified to receive this Fire Dragon Pure Yang Sword, I hope you will think twice." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

He frowned, his face sank suddenly, and he said, "Chen Jiu, don't you think that I said that you are the Fire Dragon Pure Yang Sword because of money?" ”

As he spoke, his tone was a little heavier, "As the Eight Immortals, I should send people to the earth for peace, and I can't be greedy for half a penny. ”

I understood what he meant, he thought that I didn't take the Fire Dragon Pure Yang Sword because of the old lady. After all, I am the old lady's life-saving benefactor, and the old lady has thrown so much money into the Eight Immortals Palace, which will inevitably make people think crookedly.

To put it bluntly, this society looks at money first, and then people.

"Han Palace Master, that's not what the kid meant." I hurriedly explained, frankly, I still have a good impression of Han Jingui, and from his point of view, he should belong to the more upright Eight Immortals.

"Since that's not what I mean, I'll take the Fire Dragon Pure Yang Sword." Then Han Jingui immediately said.

This makes me a little helpless, to say that I don't want to be the palace master, that's a lie, I'm just an ordinary person, naturally I also hope that I have a little identity, and I hope that my parents can be proud of me.

It's a rough reason, but it's the truest thought in my heart.

Seeing that Han Jingui didn't speak, he was about to speak, when the old lady on the side suddenly stood up and said: "Xiao Jiu, the lives of several members of the Fu family were all saved because of you, if you don't want to be the master of this palace, the old man is not interested in this Eight Immortal Palace, let alone invest money here, so let this Eight Immortal Palace slowly decay until it disappears in the long river of history." Mugwort! When I thought that the Eight Immortal Palace was going to disappear, the old body was like eating a few catties of yellow lotus in my heart, bitter! A good craft, just like that, it's gone. ”

Hearing this, I naturally understood what she meant, saying that it was a diversion, but in fact, she didn't want me to take over the Eight Immortals Palace. I glanced at Han Jingui, he nodded at me, and he didn't speak, I looked at Li Jiangang and the other eight immortals, and they all nodded to me, meaning to let me be the palace master.

"Brother Jiu, you are a big man, what are you still inking, isn't your dream to make the Eight Immortals live better, now is an opportunity." Na Lang Gao stood up abruptly and shouted directly at me.

I nodded slightly, this is true, so I smiled awkwardly and said to Han Jingui, "Can I really do it?" ”

"Definitely, as long as you care about the Eight Immortals, our Eight Immortals Palace will grow sooner or later, and one day in the future, when the coffin is mentioned, the world will think of my Eight Immortals Palace, and the craftsmanship of the ancestors can also be passed on." He dropped this sentence proudly.

"Xiao Jiu, I'm optimistic about you!" Then Li Jiangang shouted.

Immediately afterwards, one by one, the eight immortals spoke one after another, generally supporting me as the palace master.

Frankly, I don't know why they support me so strongly, and I don't know what Han Jingui means, I just feel that happiness came too suddenly.

Don't look at the dilapidated Eight Immortal Palace, as far as I know, the Hubei Eight Immortal Palace is the birthplace of the Eight Immortals in the entire south, and it is rumored that when Lu Dongbin became an immortal, it was in this place that he soared during the day.

Later, there were more and more legends about the eight immortals, and there were many large and small eight immortal palaces all over the country, and there were even hundreds. However, now the social reality is very real, the eight immortals everywhere are thinking about how to make their pockets bulge, where do they care about the eight immortal palaces, evolved to the present, the so-called eight immortal palaces are no longer holy places, but have become a place where the eight immortals gather, not to mention the palace master, even if some of the eight immortal palaces have palace masters, it is just a role equivalent to the 'contract foreman', leading a group of eight immortals to carry the coffin to make money, there is no discipline at all.

It is based on these things that I have an idea in my heart, can we gather all the Eight Immortals, just like some novelists, who have writers' associations in various places, and like Great China has consulates all over the world, all things have the same root and the same origin, why can't we Eight Immortals be like this? Why do people mention the Eight Immortals and regard us as lowly jobs? is the same person, the same is paying for this society, why do we eight immortals make people look down on us, just because we eat the food of the dead? Just because we do the hardest and most tiring work? Just because of this, let our industry be clothed with the word low?

At this moment, I felt that a nameless fire was burning in my heart, so I said to Han Jingui, "Okay, I should!" ”

I still remember that day was October 06, and my life was precisely because of 'OK, I should!' These three words have changed, so that in the subsequent career of carrying the coffin, I no longer simply carry the coffin, but also want to seek some benefits for the eight immortals.

People are selfish, and I am no exception, and I also have my own little abacus.

When Han Jingui saw that I agreed, he laughed and immediately asked the Eight Immortals to start preparing for the memorial, saying that according to the rules of the Eight Immortals, the Fire Dragon Pure Yang Sword must be carried out in front of the portrait of the ancestor.

After a while, the Eight Immortals brought a table of Eight Immortals, placed a few simple offerings on it, and finally found a rooster and got some firecrackers, and the preparations were completed.

Next, Han Jingui began to arrange the Eight Immortals standing, which was arranged based on the qualifications of the Eight Immortals, and Lang Gao and Chen Erbei were arranged at the end.

What I didn't expect was that Li Jiangang actually stood in the second row, and from the age point of view, he estimated that he was around forty years old, much younger than the other eight immortals, I asked Han Jingui, he said, Li Jiangang and I are in a similar situation, at the age of 18, he began to enter the industry as a eight immortals, and he has been a little famous in Hubei.

After arranging the standing position, the old lady stood on the right side, Han Jingui stood in the middle, and I stood on the left side, then Han Jingui first shouted a paragraph, roughly about the eight immortals of some recitations, and then asked the eight immortals to light a firecracker, and finally took the fire dragon pure yang sword in his hand, and made three gestures towards the portrait of Lu Dongbin.

"Chen Jiu, this Fire Dragon Pure Yang Sword has been passed down in the Eight Immortals Palace for more than a hundred generations, and in your hands, Han Someone can't remember how many generations, I just hope that after you take over the Fire Dragon Pure Yang Sword, don't be delusional, don't be mercenary, don't ignore the same door, you need to remember one sentence, our Eight Immortals take respect for the dead as the premise, send the dead into the earth for peace, and form a good fate for eternity."

As he spoke, Han Jingui took a rooster, cut the throat of the chicken with the fire dragon pure yang sword, put some chicken blood, and then burned some yellow paper, and finally sprinkled the chicken blood on the fire dragon pure yang sword, and said: "Disciple Han Jingui, I am ashamed to have been the palace master for more than ten years, and I have failed to carry forward the thoughts of the ancestors, which is really worthy of the name of the eight immortals. ”

After finishing speaking, he handed over the Fire Dragon Pure Yang Sword and said in a deep voice: "Chen Jiu, take the sword." ”

I took a deep breath, and took the Fire Dragon Pure Yang Sword with a gloomy face, and felt that this sword was extremely cold, especially the blade gave people a feeling of cold light, no need to guess, this Fire Dragon Pure Yang Sword must be a rare sword in the world.

After taking the sword, I bent down towards Han Jingui to show etiquette, and saw that Han Jingui took off the Taoist robe on his body, even the crown of his hat was taken off, and handed it to me, saying: "Chen Jiu, this is the clothes of the palace master of the Eight Immortals Palace, because the Eight Immortals Palace is really poor and sour, and there is no money to buy new clothes, so I can only ask you to take a look." ”

I nodded slightly, took the clothes, and heard those eight immortals shouting, "Virtue accumulates from leniency, and blessing seeks from frugality." ”

For a while, there was a hustle and bustle in the Eight Immortals Palace, and it was from this moment that I took over the Eight Immortals Palace and became a real Eight Immortals, however, I knew that the road ahead was not easy. Because, I am no longer alone, but followed by dozens of Eight Immortals, whether they can feed and clothe, whether we can make our Eight Immortals respected, all on me.

Now thinking of that scene, I only feel that I was a little hasty to take over the Eight Immortals Palace, you must know that I was only nineteen years old at that time, where can I be qualified to be the palace master, and it can even be said that 50% of my position as the palace master is because of the old lady's money, and 50%, maybe Han Jingui takes a fancy to my future, or maybe Han Jingui knows that I have a master, what is the specific idea, then Han Jingui has never said, even to this day, he still refuses to tell me.

It's far away, let's get down to business.

After the ceremony was completed, Han Jingui asked the Eight Immortals to light a firecracker, and the transfer was completed, but Han Jingui stopped talking, silently moved the top Taishi chair away, and found a stool to put on Lang Gao's side, saying that from today on, he is just an ordinary Eight Immortals, let everyone stop calling him the palace master, and treat him as an ordinary Eight Immortals.

In this regard, I wanted to persuade him, but Han Jingui said with a smile, the so-called name of the palace master is just the name of our Eight Immortals, don't let outsiders hear it, otherwise it will make people laugh off their big teeth.

Of course I understand what he means, it's like a beggar, saying that he is a beggar king, but in fact he is still a beggar, will only attract the sarcasm of others.

I hummed and asked him, "Didn't you say there were three things?" What is this second thing? ”

He stood up and said with a smile: "The second thing is about the old lady, and the third thing is a private matter between you and me, when the meeting is over, you and I can talk privately." ”

So saying, he sat down and motioned to the old lady to say that the old lady said the second thing.

The old lady was not polite, and told us the second thing, roughly the Fu family funded the rebuilding of the Eight Immortals Palace, the construction period will take about a year, in this year, the old lady vacated the house in her hometown, to give us a group of eight immortals to make a temporary gathering place, the old lady promised that the eight immortals in the Eight Immortals Palace in the future, can receive six hundred yuan from the Fu family every month, regardless of the number of people, the six hundred one month's salary, as long as the old lady is alive, this salary will never be broken, it is a thank you for everything I have done to the Fu family.

According to my past character, I will definitely refuse the kindness of the old lady. However, now it's different, now there is a group of Eight Immortals behind me, if I refuse, the most basic living security of the Eight Immortals will be gone.

So, I didn't speak, it was a tacit acquiescence to the old lady's promise, but I didn't agree to the old lady's saying that she would give us the house in her hometown as a gathering place, mainly because the house in her hometown was too luxurious, and our group of eight immortals were just ordinary villages, and in that high-end house, it seemed a little out of place.

Subsequently, we thanked the old lady, each of us scraped together some money, and invited the old lady to eat a Chinese meal that seemed to be sumptuous, but was actually not sumptuous.

During the meal, the pear blossom girl and the middle-aged woman walked out, and their eyes were red from crying.

After the meal, we sent away the old lady and the middle-aged woman, as for Pear Blossom Sister, she didn't leave, saying that I was there, she was there, and I didn't know what the middle-aged woman thought, so she actually agreed with Pear Blossom Girl's statement.

In this regard, I'm also drunk, this pear blossom girl is sick, right? The Fu family has a big business, why do you follow me to carry the coffin? asked her why, she said, "Uncle Qiao explained when he left, let me take care of you." ”

It's okay not to mention Joyce, but when it comes to Joyce, I have a deeper opinion on Pear Blossom Sister, and I don't want to bother at all, so it is convenient for the eight immortals to simply introduce themselves, and it was not until six o'clock in the afternoon that those eight immortals returned home one by one, leaving only Han Jingui and Li Jiangang.

After those Eight Immortals left, Han Jingui found me and said in a deep voice: "Palace Master, follow me to the apse, I need to explain some matters about the Eight Immortals to you." ”
