Chapter 203: The Middleman

Liu Shangang said that Hu Nanqian has always been a dragon who has never seen the end, many people know her existence, but they have never seen her person, in today's world, there are no more than five who have seen her, and my master is one of them.

Some time ago, Master contacted Hu Nanqian and said that he was going to take me to meet with her, and if there was any business in the future, Hu Nanqian could contact me directly. But at that time, Hu Nanqian blurted out to refuse when she was not in Henan, until last night, Hu Nanqian called my master without warning, saying that she was going to stay in Henan for a week, and the implication was that my master could take me to meet her.

Liu Shangang also said that after Hu Nanqian rejected my master, he has been sending people to secretly investigate me, and when I was in the evil tomb, my master deliberately asked me to take the lead, to put it bluntly, it was also to deal with Hu Nanqian's investigation.

And the reason why Hu Nanqian investigated me didn't mean anything else, just to find out if I had the ability to take over my master's class.

Hearing Liu Shanqian say this, I felt that cold sweat began to break out behind my back: "Liu Shangang, listen to what you mean, at that time, in the evil tomb, there was also Hu Nanqian's eyeliner?" ”

"Brother Dao, you're making trouble." Liu Shangang grinned: "What's wrong with her eyeliner, it's impossible to follow us to the grave." Alas, in fact, there are many ways to collect intelligence, and she doesn't need to put eyeliner in the evil tomb, she can still know your performance. Do you still remember when Lao Bao interrogated Huang Changgui, at that time, Lao Bao even knew what Zhu Hongguang dreamed at night, didn't you think it was strange? ”

I nodded, "yes, it was amazing at the time." ”

Liu Shangang smiled again: "Hey, what's magical, Zhu Hongguang has the habit of talking in his sleep when he sleeps, Lao Bao let people find his neighbors and landlords in Thailand, these people have heard the content of Zhu Hongguang's dream talk, string these contents, and then speculate a little, you will know what kind of dream Zhu Hongguang had during that time." It's the same if Hu Nanqian wants to investigate you, she only needs to find someone to probe the tone of Lao Huang's family, and she can know how you behaved when you went to the tomb. Now that Hu Nanqian is in such a hurry to contact your master, it means that the people of the old Huang family appreciate your performance. ”

After it was over, Liu Shangang added: "In recent years, Grandpa Chai has pushed all the businesses that Hu Nanqian introduced to Grandpa Chai, and she must be in a hurry for you to make up for Grandpa Chai's lack now." ”

At this time, Liang Houzai asked Liu Shangang on the side: "How do you know these things?" ”

Liu Shangang grinned at him: "This morning, Grandpa Chai said that he would take you to Henan to meet a person named Hu Nanqian, so I asked Lao Bao in advance about the origin of this person." ”

When he came to the intersection of Wenhua Road and Changshan Street, Liu Shangang got out of the car, and he said that he would pack up for about an hour and come to my master's house to find me before half past seven.

I looked at my watch, and it was already a quarter past six in the morning.

After that, Liang Houzai and I went home to pack up the ceremony, my mother had already gone to work in the hotel, my father was sitting on the sofa reading the newspaper, and when he saw me and Liang Houzai packing up his big bags, he shouted at us: "You two are going out again?" ”

I tucked my clothes into my backpack and responded to my dad, "Ah, Master said he would take us to Henan, this time the trip was short, and I will be back in a few days." ”

After that, my dad told him "don't delay your homework" and didn't say anything more until it was almost seven o'clock when he put down the newspaper and got dressed and went to work.

After packing up our things, Liang Houzai and I took our luggage to my master's house and waited, Uncle Xia was still sleeping in the bedroom, but Uncle Zhao and Senior Brother Feng had already left, and there were still teapots and tea bowls on the coffee table in the living room that had not had time to be cleaned up.

My master came back at about a quarter past seven, and when he got home, the tin box he had taken out of the earthen house was gone. Five minutes later, Liu Shangang also came to Master's house with a huge suitcase.

The first thing Master did after returning home was to make breakfast for me and Liang Houzai, when Liu Shangang entered the door, Master was about to go to the yard to get onions and garlic, and when he saw Liu Shangang, he frowned: "Fat Dun, why are you here too?" ”

Liu Shangang patted his travel clothes and smiled at the master: "I'll go with you, it just so happens that Lao Bao has been looking for Hu Nanqian recently, she has appeared so easily, and I have to convey some things for Lao Bao." ”

My master took the onion and garlic, and as he walked towards the house, he said without looking back, "It's not okay to call, it's so far away, you still have to make a trip." ”

Liu Shangang followed my master into the house, and said: "It's useless to call, people don't answer at all, don't talk about me, she doesn't care about Lao Bao calling her." But Grandpa Chai, don't worry, I booked the tickets myself. ”

"Okay, if you want to go, how is Wang Dapeng's matter?" As the Master spoke, the man had already entered the kitchen.

Liu Shangang shouted in the direction of the kitchen: "It's all arranged." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the noise of the range hood came from the kitchen, and my master began to cook.

Liang Houzai and I still have the same breakfast every day, mainly milk and eggs, and some dry food and meat and vegetarian dishes, and cooked garlic is also indispensable.

Liu Shangang has always liked to eat my master's food, but he has no interest in breakfast.

Boiled eggs with milk, that is, people like Liang Houzai and I can stand the taste, and ordinary people really don't have that mouth.

After breakfast, the master lit a dry tobacco, and after swallowing the clouds and mist for a while, he asked me: "Listen to Lao Chen, did you do it with Wu Xiangsong yesterday?" ”

I nodded, "Speaking of which, that should have happened in the early hours of this morning." The reason was that Wu Xiangsong's method failed and introduced the yin qi into the mouth of the alley, and when I first met him, I thought he was deliberately leading the yin qi over. ”

Master smiled a little helplessly: "Wu Xiangsong, that person has been so-so all these years, and his mind has never been on cultivation. ”

I asked Master, "If I'm not mistaken, Wu Xiangsong is a monk halfway, right?" ”

Master nodded: "Well, he used to open a restaurant in Shixiao, and he ran into an evil a few years ago before he converted to Taoism. Speaking of which, Lao Chen was able to accept him as a closed disciple, which shows that this person's talent is still very high, and his character should be not bad, but it's a pity that he has such a ...... I can't really say. ”

I asked Master again, "If the yin qi in the river veins leaks out, there will be nothing wrong with the Mass Grave Mountain, right?" ”

"How can it be okay," Master spat out a mouthful of cloud smoke and said: "The yin qi of the river vein is too strong, and the corpse is the inner yin and the outer yang, now I am afraid that the yin qi in the river vein will exhaust the spiritual charm on the spirit rune within a year, and when the yin qi of the river vein and the yang energy on the corpse collide, the area around the Mass Grave Mountain will inevitably be in chaos." ”

Speaking of this, Master shifted his gaze to me and said slowly: "Now, no one can guarantee how long the spirit runes can last, if those spirit runes on the tomb door really can't resist for a year, we can only completely suppress the corpses." ”

After saying that, the master glanced at the offering table on the north wall, where Fantian Yin usually had always been placed.

At this time, Liang Houzai also asked my master: "Grandpa Chai, if the spirit rune really fails, will it not be long before it is replaced with a new one?" ”

Master shook his head and said, "If only things were that simple. The spirit rune that Lao Chen posted there is more special, and it can only be changed once a year, just a while ago, Lao Chen just changed the spirit rune on the door, and if you want to change it again, you must wait until this time next year. ”

After saying this, the master said nothing else, and smoked a cigarette sullenly.

Liu Shangang probably watched my master smoking, and he was a little greedy, so he also took out the cigarette case from his pocket and took out the lighter.

Who would have thought that my master would snatch all his cigarette cases and lighters, glared at him again, and said, "Take advantage of your vacation to quit smoking!" ”

Liu Shangang stared at the cigarette case and lighter in my master's hand, blinked, and asked, "Why did you let me quit smoking?" ”

"Smoking at a young age has damaged all my lungs," Master said in a very unhappy tone, "It's because of the bad lungs that I can't practice Qigong well." Oh, by the way, Fat Dun, I wasn't by your side two days ago, didn't you forget to practice Qigong? ”

When the master spoke, he kept staring into Liu Shangang's eyes.

In the past, I heard Master say that if a person tells a lie, his pupils will change. I still don't know how my pupils change when I lie, but every time I lie, as long as Master keeps staring into my eyes, he can easily see through me every time.

Liu Shangang hesitated for a moment before he stammered a little and said, "Oh, what, practice...... After practicing, I sink my face in the tank every morning, and it will take several minutes to practice. ”

A mysterious smile slowly unfolded on my master's face: "Oh, I practice every morning, it's not bad." ”

In the past, when I lied, once the master had this mysterious smile on his face, it meant that he had seen through me, and then there was a terrible punishment.

Liang Houzai and I saw that the situation was wrong, so we quickly packed up the dishes and chopsticks and hid in the kitchen to wash the dishes.

When I entered the kitchen, I still heard my master say to Liu Shangang, "Fat Dun, I remember that you used to be a very honest child. ”

Liu Shangang smiled very weakly and said, "Huh? Do I have one? Oh, yes, yes, it's good to be honest. ”

"Oh", my master replied, and asked him again, "How have you eaten these two days, and have you slept well?" ”

As soon as I heard Master talk about family life, I knew that Liu Shangang was definitely going to be finished.

My master chats with us juniors, and he almost never talks about this kind of homely things, and only in two specific situations does he talk about these things.

One is when he wants to talk, but he has nothing to say. The other is when he is about to kill us, usually at such times, my master will talk in a very normal tone, while squinting his eyes and looking at you with that kind of murderous look.

I hid at the kitchen door and eavesdropped, and I heard Liu Shangang also respond to my master: "It's good, it's good, my mother fried the fish yesterday, slept very well, it's all good." ”

To be honest, I admired Liu Shangang very much at the time, if it were me, I would have knelt just by seeing the master's squinting eyes.

Then I heard my master say, "How big is your water tank?" ”
