The person on the phone is one of my group of fox friends, and is also my college classmate and roommate, surnamed Niu, nicknamed "Kraft Candy", after graduation went to a travel agency in charge of marketing, and because of the convenience of work, I have been to many places, often not in Shencheng, and as soon as I come back, he likes to pull me out to fool around.

Picking up the phone, I listened to the voice of kraft candy: "Zang Daguan, are you in the store?" What's the direction tonight, my brother just came back from the summer vacation in Bincheng, and the weather in Shanghai is too hot. Hurry up and take advantage of the dark wind to come out and get out of the gangsters! ”

I said that I had something to do at home, so I temporarily went back to Chuansha, Pudong, and I had to go back to the city tomorrow.

He was very disappointed and changed his mind and said forget it, and he would arrange a gathering of the old brothers tomorrow night, and let me be sure to attend, and there would be very important matters to discuss.

After hanging up the phone, I stopped thinking about tomorrow's party, and there were only two possibilities for the important things in the kraft candy mouth: one was to borrow money, and the other was to ask me to help him read the hexagram for free.

The structure of the old house is warm in winter and cool in summer, so there is no need for air conditioning at night, and it is already very cool to open the windows and doors.

After taking a shower and going to bed, he leaned on the head of the bed and fanned the Xiangfei bamboo folding fan.

While flipping through the mobile phone web page, while thinking about the various things encountered in the day, the mind at this time has slowly calmed down, many doubts in the heart before, now looking back, it seems to have some hazy answers.

For example, my family's rule that you must eat seasonal fruits and vegetables when eating, and you can't eat chicken, duck and fish made of hormones when you eat meat, I think it may be to ensure that the blood in the body is pure and not harmed by external toxins, right?

And before my father taught me to use saliva to draw a seal to ward off evil spirits, now I think about it, there is no suspense, just because our bloodline is different from ordinary people, since ghosts do not invade, natural body fluids also have a certain effect on dissipation.

This is also why mosquito nets are never used at home, and mosquitoes are not interested in us or avoid them, right?

As for the mystery of this Xiangfei bamboo folding fan that my father asked me to carry closely?

Open the fan and take a closer look: both sides are plain noodles of cooked Xuan, one side is a jet-black base, sprinkled with silver shading, the other side is a tooth-white base, sprinkled with gold shading, the size is also a very ordinary conventional nine inches and five minutes long, sixteen fan bones, a small flat head of the Soviet-style folding fan, the fan shaft is a horn, there is a small metal round buckle on it, it should be able to hang a fan pendant and other decorations, but I don't think it's cumbersome, I haven't been with a pendant.

According to my father, this fan was made by my great-grandfather before his death, and he said that he would pass it on to his great-grandson as an amulet in the future, so he didn't use it for three generations until my generation, and it was not until my generation that it was taken out and passed on to me.

Since my great-grandfather didn't have any other explanation, why did I pass this fan to me, and how to use it, according to my father's original words: "Your great-grandfather was a famous onmyoji, and he also served as Mr. Sun Wen's personal adviser back then.

After all, there are too many things to experience this day, and as soon as the brain is overly nervous, fatigue hits.

Before he was conscious, he took off the cigarette butt in his hand, put away the folding fan and put it under the pillow, and then stuffed the waist bag containing the secret room key and the Five Elements Jue under the pillow.

I closed my eyes, and my mind kept recalling "ancestral spirits, evil spirits, meat and eggs......

Except for the occasional chirping of insects and a few faint dog barks in the distance, there is only the rustle of the wind and leaves in the patio......

When I woke up, the sky was not yet bright, but the clouds had gradually turned white, it was estimated that it was about four or five o'clock, and the sleep time was basically fixed at six or seven hours every day.

I wanted to lie in bed again, but I heard what seemed to be a voice in the patio.

Put on his pajamas, took a cigarette on the bedside table, lit one, turned over and got out of bed, walked to the porch to look.

The voice turned out to be no one else, but Bingbing was practicing by the pool, probably the "Sixteen Duanjin", when I was a child, I often saw Bingbing practicing in the patio, and then she went to college, and now she shares a house with Xiaolian Xiaohe in the community near the shop, and I also rented a house alone in the city, so I haven't seen her boxing for a long time.

Today, taking advantage of the hazy morning light, I watched Bingbing, who was dressed in a black silk practice uniform, move by the fish pond, shoulder-length short hair, clear soup noodles without losing charm, petite body sometimes light as a feather swallow, sometimes slow as a snake, although the posture amplitude is very small, it is far from the momentum of Taijiquan's big opening and closing, but it is also quite similar to the charm.

The camphor leaves in the courtyard were blown down by the morning breeze and fell, and the girls danced in the wind among the fallen leaves. I didn't care too much about it every day before, but today I look at this set of boxing techniques carefully, and I really feel that there are subtleties that are suitable for both movement and stillness.

Seeing that the cigarette forgot to play and fell downstairs.

At this time, Bingbing also seemed to see me lying on the railing looking at her, picked up a small pebble and made it look like she was going to throw me, pointed at me, stared, her mouth moved but she didn't make a sound, I knew that she was scolding me for peeking, but I was afraid of waking up my parents so I didn't scold.

I shrugged my shoulders, spread my hands, and stuck out my tongue and smiled like a scoundrel.

Mom and Dad also got up at six o'clock, and after eating breakfast together, we were ready to leave for the city.

Before leaving, my father told me to be careful in everything, and again stressed that I should go out to find someone in a week, etc., and sent us out of the gate all the time.

On the way to the parking lot, I met Grandma Dongmen again, she was carrying two large bags of plastic bottles and other garbage that she had just picked up, and when she saw us from afar, she nodded and smiled: "I left so early, I have to go home often to play." ”

We said good morning, and we passed by.

After returning to the city, Bingbing first took the car around to the community they rented, picked up Xiaolian Xiaohe, and then went to the store together.

When I arrived at the store, Bingbing was downstairs helping to sort out the containers, and I went upstairs alone.

According to the custom, the first thing I do when I enter the store every day is to light candles and incense on the Buddhist platform in the warehouse, recite the Heart Sutra 10 times, and then come out to do my thing.

I rarely get up so early, the whole morning is as chaotic as if there is no jet lag, aimlessly searching for a few sets of keywords in front of the computer, such as "missing person notice", "eight-character birth certificate", "three thousand years ago war", "Shuzu" and the like, but there is no valuable content, I used the picture search function to search for words such as "gods" and "pure yang", but a lot of anime pictures popped up, and there were even a lot of erotic big-breasted photos or online game posters.

It seems that websites are not prophets after all, and if you want to find things unknown to mankind, then relying on the Internet to search can only be a waste of time.

I remembered that the five-element jue in my waist bag needed a chain, so I went into the warehouse in the back room and searched for suitable materials.

I put the five elements on the Buddha platform in the warehouse, and then went to the row of storage shelves with all kinds of lanyards to rummage, nothing more than some five-color ropes and other braided threads, usually hanging ordinary jade pendants are suitable, but it seems to be a bit cold with my rare treasure.

I opened the safe again to see if there were any more expensive materials, because I had just bought the goods once, there were still a lot of good things in the safe.

According to the principle of the five elements, if this five elements belong to the yang fire, then the pattern of "water and fire" must be unsuitable, and it is best to "wood to make fire", then it should be more suitable to match a strong wooden chain.

I took out all the small square boxes containing wooden beads in the cabinet and lined them up, and after comparing them one by one, I finally decided to use 108 agarwood beads from Kalimantan, Indonesia with a diameter of 3mm to weave them, and used a multicolored thread to weave the ritual with a Vajra knot of Buddha beads every 27 pieces, and made a double slider buckle at the back of the neck, and finally strung into a necklace lanyard.

Holding the newly strung chain on the chest, it is shorter than the length, almost the height of the heart of the chest, which is not so high-profile as a regular necklace that it is exposed to the collarbone, and it can be completely covered by wearing a T-shirt. So I tied the five elements tightly and pulled it, and I felt that it was strong enough. He put it back on the Buddha platform, recited some ancestral Yin and Yang Yishu opening mantras to the Guanyin statue, and officially put it on his neck.

After lunch, Kraft Candy called again, saying that he had contacted all the boys in our department who had not yet married a wife - in fact, there were only a few left, saying that at 21 o'clock in the evening, the largest VIP booth box was opened in the bar in Fuxing Park, and he paid for the whole expenses.

Since he paid for the whole process, it is estimated that he has been relatively rich recently, and he will not borrow money today, and I will not let me count the fortune by organizing so many people to meet in such a noisy place at once.

I don't know what new tricks he will come up with in today's "important discussions".

In order to have abundant energy at night, I lay down in the meditation room in the afternoon and took a nap for two hours, until Bingbing went upstairs to wake me up, and in the afternoon came two guests to ask eight characters, and a guest to tell the hexagram, it is not a big deal to figure and things, it is nothing more than a quarrel between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law at home, suspecting that the wife has a ** and other trivial matters, and finally went downstairs to invite a few bracelets home, needless to say.

After having dinner hastily dealt with in the store, I explained a few words to them, and then went back to my apartment to change clothes, although it was not a very important date, but after all, it was an old school reunion that I hadn't seen for many years, and I couldn't dress too casually. A few of them I haven't seen since I graduated, and I don't know how they're getting mixed up now.

Because I don't usually pay much attention to boring things like buying clothes, I often feel overstretched every time I want to turn over some good brands and wear them out, and I always make up my mind at that time, "Well, I must buy a few famous brands next time!" But after the incident passed, I forgot it completely, and so on.

In the end, I comforted myself, "Come on, it's just a group of men, don't be too particular."

So he changed into a pair of clean jeans, a pair of beige lambskin casual shoes, and a cotton shirt with small flowers on a white background. He shaved his upper lip clean, straightened the little goatee on his chin with a small comb, wore a bracelet of Indian sandalwood on his left hand, and an automatic watch on his right hand. Thinking that the smell of alcohol and cigarettes would inevitably be too strong in that place, I sprayed some amber perfume that Bingbing had made for me on my birthday last year.

Finally, before going out, I deliberately looked in the mirror, and the five-element jue was hidden about 3 centimeters below the second button that was unfastened. It shouldn't be exposed at will.

It's already 20:15, and I went out to take a taxi to kill the night game.

Just get off the bus and you'll be right at the main entrance to this bar, a nightclub in the park, surrounded by greenery and fresh air. The bright lights at the entrance of the bar and the deafening music coming from inside seem to have an eerie atmosphere that is out of place with the whole environment, but complements each other.

The security guard in front of the door is arranging for a few visitors to park; On the steps, there were some women smoking and chatting, looking at the people from time to time; A few steps away on the lawn, there were already people who were so drunk that they were leaning on the trees and vomiting; There were also people who looked like they had just arrived and were standing at the door on the phone...... I can see that the business of this shop is very hot, I took a rough look around, and sure enough, the door opened at the entrance of this feng shui fortune, I don't know if it was done on purpose.

All the way in, the lights were blurred, and the hiphop-style subwoofer gradually filled the whole brain, which made people feel a little excited, and the people were very crowded, I drilled around in the flow of people, all the way around to the innermost part of the entire dance floor, and finally found the card seat booked by Kraft Candy.

From afar, I saw Kraft Candy wearing a bright pink T-shirt, shaking his hands and shouting to the rhythm of the DJ stage's head shake, a gold watch shining in the fluorescent light, he saw me, he rounded his hands, and shouted to me, looking at the excited look, I knew he had been drinking for a while.

After I sat down, several of my classmates had already arrived, some of whom had often met, some of whom had not seen each other for a long time, and sat down with a cigarette, and the waiter had already poured me a glass of whiskey.

Kraft Candy also returned to the sofa, counted the number of people, and because the voice was too noisy, he said in a loud voice: "Brothers, except for the old loach who is temporarily working overtime and is late, the other six diamond kings and the fifth are here, let's have a toast together, I have important matters to announce to you later!" ”
