Chapter 154: The Altar

As Brother Jiu was talking, an assistant came in outside and whispered something in his ear. The ninth brother said: "Another master has arrived?" Take my pass and invite him in. ”

After a short time, there was the sound of footsteps in the corridor, the door opened, everyone looked back, and an old monk came in outside.

The monk was dressed in gray monk's robes, with a shiny head and a white goatee on his chin. With a hippie smile on his face, he is extremely obscene, not like a monk, but like an old liar who eats and drinks on the overpass of the train station.

The old monk came in and folded his hands to salute: "Brother Jiu, you masters, it's too late, it's too late, forgive me." ”

Brother Jiu was interested: "You are Yuantong?" ”

The old monk said: "It's the little monk." The poor monk was recommended by Xiaoxue in the northeast and was the abbot of the Jiangbei Compassion Temple. ”

The table full of high-ranking people was dismissive and sneered.

Brother Jiu nodded: "Oh, yes, I once asked Xiaoxue to go out of the mountain, but she was very busy, and I couldn't save face." Hehe, just recommend me a high monk. It's you, good. Please sit down, please add a chair. ”

Yuantong's face is really thick, and he asked the cheongsam waiter to add a chair between me and Brother Xu, and the place was not big, so he squeezed in.

Yan Yuqing was quite interested: "Elder, I'm sorry, the table is full of meat dishes, otherwise let them fry some vegetarian dishes." ”

Yuantong waved his hand: "Don't be so troublesome, I am a monk, I am not jealous, I really can't do it, and I can deal with meat." As he spoke, he grabbed the crab with his hand and lifted the lid and broke his leg very quickly.

During the banquet, an old man frowned and said, "Aren't monks who don't eat meat?" ”

Round channel: "What's wrong with the wine and meat, it's through the intestines." What's wrong with the Buddha, keep in my heart. Out of the way, out of the way. ”

Brother Jiu smiled and didn't say anything.

Yuantong is new here, and he doesn't know what's going on, so while he is eating, Brother Jiu briefly talks about finding the bones of the ancestors.

Yuantong wiped his mouth and said, "I know, Xiaoxue and I talked about it, and I came here for this." ”

Brother Jiu asked, "Master Yuantong, how can you find the bones?" ”

Round channel: "I can't find someone, how to open the coffin and bury the bones, this is my strength." ”

The woman snorted: "Opening the coffin and burying it is something that one person can do." The question is how to find it. ”

Brother Jiu waved his hand: "Okay, okay, all of you are masters, everyone works together." ”

Everyone was silent for a while, only the pleasure of Yuantong eating, let's smack. I observed carefully, this monk said that he was eating meat, but in fact, he didn't move the big fish and meat, he just ate seafood, and he didn't even touch the wine, but drank water. This person seems to be very arrogant, but in fact, there is still a bottom line.

I secretly asked Huang Xiaotian in my mind, with your ability, can you find the bones.

Huang Xiaotian thought for a while and said, "You can try it, these masters here may be more powerful than us, but when it comes to looking for qi and finding things, then I dare to say that I can be ranked in the Northeast." ”

I said, "What do you need?" ”

Huang Xiaotian said: "First of all, we must determine the approximate location of the bones, at least within a radius of twenty miles, no matter how powerful I am, it is impossible to search the entire Xing'an Mountains." Little golden boy, you are not in a hurry to come out of this, look at it, the water is very deep here, and I intuitively feel that this matter is not so simple. ”

We discussed the idea, and I decided to keep a low profile, looking at my nose and nose, and not speaking.

I guess other people have the same mind as me, so let's take a look first.

Brother Jiu was obviously unhappy, his face was gloomy, "Everyone, do you think it's tricky, or do you have any concerns?" ”

The old man cleared his throat and broke the silence: "Brother Jiu, do you have any relics left behind at that time, it is best to have a direct blood relationship." My old horse has some slight skills, and in his early years, he learned to help people with masters. ”

Brother Jiu turned his sorrow into joy: "I have to say that Mr. Ma is powerful, and no one else can do it." Mr. Ma, if you can really help me find the bones of my ancestors, then you are the benefactor of our family. ”

The old man named Mr. Ma hurriedly politely: "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be." ”

Brother Jiu looked around: "What other ways do other people have?" ”

The people did not speak.

I didn't feel good, listening to the tone of Brother Jiu as if he was giving an ultimatum, I hurriedly said: "Brother Jiu, I am out of Ma Xiangtong, my old fairy is Huang Daxian'er, you can observe the atmosphere, maybe you can help when the time comes." ”

Brother Jiu was noncommittal. Yuantong glanced at me, smiled and didn't speak.

Brother Jiu asked again, "What else can't do anymore?" ”

Yan Yuqing said: "Brother Jiu, I am from the Maoshan faction of the South China Sea, and our Maoshan technique is secretly passed on a secret technique, called the Soul Summoning Array, and you can find traces of the old man's bones." ”

Brother Jiu nodded, wiped his hands and stood up: "I'm going back to rest, please go back too." ”

We were sent back in such a daze. When I got back to my room, I hadn't eaten enough, and my stomach was rumbling with hunger, but this hellish place was almost the same as house arrest, and it wasn't enough trouble to get a pass to go back and forth.

I had to dig out instant noodles in my room and soak them in hot water to eat.

I subconsciously felt that this matter had nothing to do with me, and that I would be sent back tomorrow. Well, this kind of work is risky, and Brother Jiu is not a good talker, so once the time comes, the gains outweigh the losses, so it is better to go back now.

I slept soundly until the next day, when I was on the high pole, and no one looked for me.

In the afternoon, there was a knock on the door. When I opened the door, there were two waitresses of cheongsam standing outside, and they politely invited me to go with me.

This time, I brought the fur balls, took the things, and knew that I couldn't live here, so I guess I was going to give them out.

Who knew that we didn't go to the first floor, we went straight up to the top floor and to the private room. When I went in, I saw that there were still a few people there.

There is Mr. Ma who can help people find people, Yan Yuqing, and even Monk Yuantong, and then me.

In addition to the four of us, there was also a sixteen or seventeen-year-old child, with a childish face, standing beside Mr. Ma, who should be his apprentice.

Several people looked at each other and did not speak. They should have just arrived, and the atmosphere was solemn.

Monk Yuantong yawned, found a seat for himself, and sat down with a big grin.

We also found a seat to sit in. After a short time, the door opened, and Brother Jiu came in in with a dusty body, and said with a smile: "The big waves are sweeping the sand, and I finally selected the four masters who reassured me." ”

He said: "I have sent everyone else away, the Tao pays attention to the edge of the eye, and if you find the bones of the ancestors, you will fall on the four of them." ”

Mr. Ma was furious, "Brother Jiu, if you can afford me, I will sell my strength." You rest first, I'll take the lead, and I'll sell an ugly guy tonight and come to look for someone. ”

Brother Jiu hugged his fists, "I'm tired." He took out a small red bag from his bosom, and when he opened it, a dark black iron ring fell from it: "This is the only personal thing left by my ancestors." At that time, he was held in a Japanese labor camp, and after escaping, he could not take much with him, and this was the only thing. ”

He handed the iron ring to Mr. Ma, who held it in his hands and looked at it, the ring was very thin, narrow and narrow, it was a simple and deep dark black, and it was indeed an old thing.

Mr. Ma said solemnly: "I will not disgrace my life." ”

Brother Jiu asked: "Mr. Ma, you are looking for someone, can we watch from the sidelines?" ”

Mr. Ma was a little reluctant, but he still said, "It's okay, it's just to make everyone laugh." ”

"Then settle down, tonight, still here, please Mr. Ma open the altar." Brother Jiu said.

After the agreement, Brother Jiu took us to the private room of the restaurant to eat. The meal was very dull, and Yuantong also put away the banter and jokes, and was serious.

Brother Xu should have been sent away, I was embarrassed when he wasn't around, and it was very awkward to get along with these people.

While eating, I pondered: It's understandable that I, Yan Yuqing, and Mr. Ma stayed, but Yuantong, a monk, obviously didn't like him very much, why did he keep him too, could it be that Xiaoxue played a role in it?

I don't have much contact with Xiaoxue, and I know that she was born in the Northeast, but her home is in Jiangbei, and Yuantong came out of the same place. Xiao Xueli keeps Yuantong, maybe she really has a reason.

After eating and resting for a while, in the evening, we gathered in the private room again. The furnishings inside have changed, and the clutter has been cleared out, leaving an open space in between.

On the thick carpet, Mr. Ma set up the incense burner, incense, lanterns, candles and other things, and the sixteen or seventeen-year-old young apprentice quietly stood by the side.

Brother Jiu asked people to put down a few chairs outside the circle, let us sit down and watch, and when everything was ready, Brother Jiu said: "This field is handed over to Mr. Ma." ”

Mr. Ma lit three sticks of incense, inserted them in the incense burner, and then sat cross-legged on the carpet, holding Buddhist beads in his hands, lowering his eyes, and chanting words in his mouth.

After waiting for a while, suddenly an incense stick suddenly went out without warning. Mr. Ma opened his eyes, snuffed out the incense that had broken the fire, frowned and did not speak.

Brother Jiu looked surprised, so he asked, "Mr. Ma, are you okay?" ”

Mr. Ma said: "Light three sticks of incense, and the start of the ceremony has begun." However, Sanxiang extinguished a incense......" He paused and did not speak.

"But it doesn't hurt to talk about it." Nine Brother Road.

"I'm afraid it's not a good omen," Mr. Ma said, "It has been recorded in the classics that once this incense comes out, you should not use it for divination, otherwise a catastrophe will come." ”
