Chapter 288: The Yin and Yang Family
The white house at the east end of the village is not far from the entrance of the village, with a piece of farmland in the middle, and some villagers are busy in the field.
For this trip, I have pinned a lot of hope, because in the past three years, I have traveled all over the country, and I have not found a trace of news about Gujing Lake, and finally fortunately I saw the murals in the ancient building, and now only the Zhang family may know some news about Gujing Lake.
The door of the Zhang family is open, and it is mostly the case in rural areas, as long as there are people in the family, the door is never closed.
Chen Xianyi and I came to the door and shouted into the house, is there anyone? Soon a middle-aged man in his forties and fifties came out of the back room, and when he saw me carrying a yellow cloth bag with a Tai Chi pattern, he regarded the two of us as Mr. Yin and Yang who walked the rivers and lakes here, so he said directly to us: "Two gentlemen, there is no disaster in my family for the time being, and there is no thing to break the ground. ”
When I saw that this person had misunderstood, I thought that we were looking for work at their house, so I hurriedly smiled and said, "Brother misunderstood, the two of us are not here to go to the rivers and lakes, but to find someone." I don't know if this is the Zhang family, a yin and yang family? ”
The other party was stunned, nodded, and said, "The Yin and Yang family doesn't dare to be, our surname is indeed Zhang." The two gentlemen were very angry, and they didn't know who they were looking for. ”
Seeing that the other party's surname was really Zhang, and he didn't deny that it was not a Yin and Yang family, I couldn't help but be overjoyed, knowing that there was almost nothing wrong, and the Zhang family I was looking for was them. So I reported to him that he went out of the house: "Chen Ergou, who is in the Lower Xianjing Gate, I don't know that the predecessor is Zhang Zhenglin?" ”
Old man Li once said before that the head of the Zhang family is called Zhang Zhenglin, and the man in front of him is forty or fifty years old, and he should be him.
However, what I didn't expect was that the man in front of me was not Zhang Zhenglin, I saw him say: "I am not Zhang Zhenglin, but Zhang Zhenglin is my father." ”
However, he was very surprised that we were from the Xianjing Gate, as if he didn't believe it, and asked us if we were really from the Xianjing Gate?
Chen Xianyi and I nodded hurriedly yes, and the other party nodded, with a little smile on his face, and seemed to be a little kind to us.
"Dad, there are two gentlemen looking for you." He shouted to the house, invited us to come in and sit down, and served us tea to wait. At the same time, he also told us that his name was Zhang Quan.
Soon, an old man came out of the back room, this person was about seventy or eighty years old, full of silver hair, with a long beard, even the long beard was silver-white, wearing a white horse coat, black pants, and cloth shoes, although he was seventy or eighty years old, but the walking posture was a dragon-shaped tiger step, very healthy, and it was clear that he could not see a little old, but he was old and strong.
To be honest, as soon as this old man came out, he gave people a feeling of being a master in the world, similar to the characters in the TV series.
Of course, it was fake in the TV series, but the old man with a silver-white beard in front of me, I knew that he must not be able to do it.
As soon as the old man came out, Chen Xianyi and I naturally understood that this person must be Zhang Zhenglin, so we hurriedly got up and made a gesture at the other party, and said, "Chen Ergou, a disciple of the Junior Immortal Sutra, has seen Zhang Lao's senior. ”
Zhang Zhenglin also replied, there are a few etiquettes, and he does not rely on the old to sell the old at all. While looking at the two of us, he smiled with some surprise: "I didn't expect it to be someone from the Immortal Scripture Gate, hahaha, please take a seat." ”
Chen Xianyi and I sat down again, and Chen Xianyi couldn't help but be curious: "Listening to the words of the seniors, it seems that someone who knows my Xianjing Sect?" ”
I was also curious, because just now his son also showed surprise that we were from the Immortal Scripture Sect.
"Not to mention acquaintance, the Immortal Scripture faction is very familiar to me!" Zhang Zhenglin nodded with a smile, but instead showed a natural expression, and asked rhetorically: "Did you come to me, but you didn't know my relationship with the Immortal Scripture faction?" ”
At this time, Chen Xianyi and I were stunned, and the two of them shook their heads stupidly, confused, thinking to themselves that this Zhang Zhenglin in front of him had no relationship with the Immortal Scripture Sect?
However, the other party did not answer our doubts, but asked: "Since you don't know my relationship with the Immortal Scripture faction, then I am very curious, old man, what is the matter with you looking for me this time?" ”
I said, "This matter is a long story, I don't know if Zhang Zhenren is the predecessor of your Zhang family?" ”
Seeing that I mentioned Zhang Zhenren, this time it was Zhang Zhenglin and his son who were stunned, their eyes were full of curiosity, Zhang Zhenglin's son Zhang Quan couldn't help but ask: "Zhang Zhenren is my grandfather, who has passed away for forty years, how can you know my grandfather?" ”
"Even the two fathers know it, which really makes the old man curious, but now few people know the name of the father." Zhang Zhenglin also said.
I also understand why they are surprised, knowing that a man who has been dead for forty years has indeed long been forgotten by the world, let alone from the mouths of two young people.
I said: "The reason why I know the name of Zhang Zhenren's predecessor is because I saw it in the mural of an ancient building in Shanxi not long ago, and the mural has a few words Zhang Zhenren of the Yin and Yang family in Ganzhou, so I found it." ”
"Is there such a thing?" Zhang Zhenglin frowned, surprised, obviously he didn't know about it.
I nodded, and then Zhang Zhenglin became even more curious, and he asked us what we were looking for him this time, and whether it was related to the murals?
"Yes." I nodded and said directly: "There is a story recorded in the mural, and that story is related to my life experience, so I came here to disturb my predecessors today, just to find out what is recorded in that story." ”
"Oh?" Zhang Zhenglin was obviously surprised by the purpose of our visit, and he smiled and said, "I thought that the reason why you found my Zhang family was that your master called you here. ”
"Our master?" I wondered, I don't know why he said this, could it be that he is very familiar with the Immortal Scripture faction?
Zhang Zhenglin didn't say much on this issue, but he was obviously also very interested in the story that his father left behind on the mural, and he asked me what the story of his father left in the ancient building in Shanxi, and how it was related to my life experience?
In order to get the information I wanted from his mouth, I told him about the harm I encountered in Shanxi, and told him that in order to save people, I went to a place that was abandoned by the plague, and there was an ancient building, and in the ancient building there were murals left by his father.
Of course, I also told me about my portrait in the mural and what is in the mural inside. Finally, I said to him, the evil star mentioned in the mural is my past life, and the purpose of my visit this time is to ask if you have heard Zhang Zhenren tell this story, do you know any news about the ancient realm lake mentioned in the mural?
After listening to everything I said, Zhang Zhenglin and Zhang Quan, both father and son, showed surprised expressions, Rao is Zhang Zhenglin's age, and he has experienced a lot of things, and it is still the same.
Zhang Quan said: "There is still such a thing? How could the story recorded by Grandpa be you? ”
Zhang Zhenglin also felt that what his son said was quite reasonable, and although he did not refute me, he still showed suspicion of me, obviously not believing all that I said.
Actually, I also know that they won't believe it, but if someone else comes up to me and tells me that he is a bad star, and my grandfather recorded his deeds in his previous life, I will also treat him as a psychopath. Therefore, it is normal for Zhang Zhenglin to be suspicious of everything I said.
I didn't quibble, so I said to Zhang Zhenglin: "My predecessor is a master of the Yin and Yang family, so I guess it must be okay to look at fortune-telling." ”
The other party nodded slightly, so I stretched out my palm, and then reported my birthday, and the other party quickly understood what I meant, and knew that I was asking him to calculate whether I was really a bad star.
Zhang Zhenglin first held my palm and looked at it, frowned, and then calculated my birthday for a while, and finally exclaimed: "It's true!" You're really a fateful game for the stars! ”
Zhang Zhenglin said here, and his son Zhang Quan over there was also finished, and he also showed a look of shock, obviously they would not be wrong about the evil star.
I nodded to the two of them, and then said, "I am indeed a sinister fate, and I am destined to be alone. I have met the two yin gods of black and white impermanence before, and I learned from them that my life is for a complete mission, and this mission is very likely to be related to the ancient realm lake recorded by Zhang Zhenren's predecessors, so in order to understand all this, I urgently need the help of my predecessors, if you know the story recorded by Zhang Zhenren, know the matter of the ancient realm lake, and ask the seniors to tell me, and the younger generations will remember this grace in the future. ”
After listening to this, Zhang Zhenglin said: "My father did go to Shanxi more than 40 years ago, and what you said about leaving murals may be true. ”
Hearing this, I hurriedly asked, "Then when he came back, did he tell you the story recorded in the mural?" ”
At this time, my heart has risen to my throat, because all of this is related to my life experience and whether I can change my fate as soon as possible.
However, what made me desperate was that Zhang Zhenglin sighed, shook his head and said: "It's a pity, it's not that I don't want to help you, it's just that I haven't heard my father mention this, nor have I heard him mention Gujing Lake, alas! ”
