Chapter 81. Trip to Chengdu (plus thank you Duan Hongchen _ The crown of the living person does not treat the flowers)
The next day, the day of the Midyear Festival. The beautiful doctor changed the dressing for me, and when I checked the wound, she said that it had been reduced, and the rest was just to wait for the wound to heal. Then I was prescribed a lot of inexplicable ointment potions, and gently reminded me that the stitches would be removed after 10 days, so I left satisfied.
Make an appointment with Hu Zongren, for the rest of this time, let's not do anything, don't go anywhere, and wait quietly for the eight pole seals on your body to completely disappear, and then we will formulate the next countermeasures. Because I was worried that Hu Zongren was not very well-behaved, I also quietly called Fu Yunni and told her the content of the conversation between us and Ma Daoren the night before, and asked her to help keep an eye on Hu Zongren, don't do stupid things, if there is anything wrong, call me and Master Situ as soon as possible. Only then did they rest assured that they would go home.
Three days later, Fu Yunni called, saying that Ma Daoren's mantra was useful, and the Baji seal on Hu Zongren's back had gradually faded from a fresh scar, and now it was dark red, and there was no obvious protrusion to the touch, and it might gradually disappear in two days, and she said that she would continue to observe. I also took advantage of these few days to take a good rest, do nothing every day, download a movie when I woke up, peel some fruit, drink beer and watch a movie. The nervous tension that lasted for a long time made me especially enjoy those few days of leisure. Sister Cai occasionally buys some of my favorite meats and comes back and cooks them herself to treat my stomach.
A week later, Hu Zongren came to my house with Fu Yunni, and the first thing he did when he entered the door was to lift his clothes and let me see his back. When I told Hu Zongren to call Ma Daoren and thank him, Hu Zongren said that he had already called, and the only phone number we could contact Ma Daoren had already handled the shutdown service, which means that we may not be able to find this person again.
During the meal, I asked Hu Zongren, what are your plans next? Now that the Eight Pole Seal is gone, it seems that we have no reason to go to Chengdu to meet that bad old man again, right? After taking a sip of beer, Hu Zongren told me that although the Baji Seal was gone, he would still go once, and some of the things he had caused at the beginning had to be solved in person. It seems that the blank space these days has made this unruly guy think about it for a while, and Zhilu Dao summarizes his shortcomings, and Zhilu Dao is impulsive and can only cause trouble. So I nodded and said that on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, let's go together, I just want to see who this Yao senior, who calls me the stinky boy of the Wu family, is who. Hu Zongren asked me, do you say that now the people of the Xuanyuan Society know that the Eight Extremes Seal on my body has been resolved? I said I don't know the way, but what if I know the way? Is it possible to do it again for you? I'm afraid that these elders still can't do such a thing. Hu Zongren shook his head and smiled, probably saying that you might be too simple to think about.
From the conversation between Hu Zongren and me that day, I could clearly feel that he had become a little relaxed, but he still did not let his guard down. I had a similar experience with him, after the contradiction between me and Cha Wudao was resolved because of Fu Qiang's relationship, although I didn't need to be afraid of anything, I would still sleep badly at night in the first few days, always dreaming of some terrible things, and even dreaming of the female ghost in red, so even if the crisis is temporarily lifted, the sense of crisis will still exist in my heart for a long time, which cannot be changed, so I understand Hu Zongren's mood very well at the moment.
On September 20, 2010, that is, on the 13th day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar, there were still 2 days before Hu Zongren and the Yao senior's appointment in Chengdu, I called Hu Zongren and asked him when he was going to leave for Chengdu, and he said that we will go tomorrow, one day in advance, and we will also go to visit my master, haven't you seen him for a long time? I said okay, Master Xing Yazi can be regarded as my nobleman, although I have only met once before that, but in such a short time of meeting, because of Master Xing Yazi's relationship, I got acquainted with Master Yin of Tibetan Buddhism, and because of this, I have an extra tattoo on my chest that does not move the Ming Wang mantra. This tattoo has blessed me for a long time, plus I am a chicken, the king of Fudo Ming in Tibetan Buddhism, is the patron saint of my physiognomy, even if I am not a believer in Buddhism, but I am also sheltered, all the chances, are also brought to me by Master Xing Yazi, I haven't seen it for a long time, it's time to visit.
I asked Hu Zongren if you went to see the elders of the Xuanyuan Society this time, aren't you going to do anything to defend yourself? Hu Zongren said that he just had to not prepare, so he was embarrassed to bully me, an unarmed child. I said yes, but I was shocked that you called yourself a child. The next day we took the bullet train to Chengdu, the bullet train is very convenient, easy and cheap, get off the car Hu Zongren called Master Xing Yazi, and said, go to eat something first to see you. Then he dragged me to almost sweep all the food on Chunxi Road, and ate so much that we burped all the way to Master Xing Yazi's house. Just like the last time I visited, Master Xing Yazi hadn't added anything new for so long, except for a few more danqing paintings on the wall.
Master Xing Yazi was very happy to see us, and he smiled happily, he had no heirs, so in addition to being a disciple of Hu Zongren, he also treated him as his own child. However, the way Hu Zongren and Master Xing Yazi get along with me is somewhat similar to the way I get along with my master, respect is respect, but from time to time I still have to be unserious, at least I don't dare to call my master a dead old man like him. I told Master Xing Yazi that he had diabetes, and I also specially found a friend of mine who was doing wholesale business of medicinal materials near Chuqimen to get me a lot of three, namely pumpkin, bitter gourd, and loofah roots, all of which were dehydrated and dried, and filled with a large bag respectively, I told Master Xing Yazi to take three sticks of 20 grams each every day, boil water and boil soup, and try to replace boiled water or tea, because the taste is no different from white water, not only to control diabetes, but also to prevent gastritis and high blood pressure. These are common diseases. Hu Zongren is more unruly as a disciple, he asked Master Xing Yazi how he found out diabetes, and Master Xing Yazi said that of course it was found out by the doctor. Hu Zongren sighed, and then said, I thought you tasted your own urine and found it sweet...
Hu Zongren told Master Xing Yazi the purpose of our trip, and we learned from Master Xing Yazi that Master Yao of the Xuanyuan Society was not an open-minded person, and he had worked hard for decades to climb to the top of this organization, so he naturally didn't want people under his door to see him. And Master Xing Yazi's seniority status is there, and the other party is embarrassed to embarrass him, but Hu Zongren, as a junior, has naturally become the target of bullying, and even has become the standard used by Master Yao's disciples to compare the strength of the master. Last year, Hu Zongren became famous, and Xuanyuan wanted to persuade him to come back but was refused, which was a particularly shameless thing in Master Yao's opinion, so he made it difficult in every possible way, as if it was reasonable. Hu Zongren said, the main purpose of this visit is to draw a clear line with them, no one will mess with anyone in the future, each will go their own way, Master Xing Yazi said, I won't care much about the affairs of your juniors, your character is irritable and impulsive, you will forget the promise you made to me today, you are my apprentice, I know you too well, I just hope that you can turn a big thing into a small thing this time, more than one thing is better than one less thing, the so-called prestige status, when you reach my age, you will find that those are simply a fart.
In the evening, he accompanied Master Xing Yazi to drink some self-brewed wine, and Hu Zongren stayed at the master's house. The house is not big, I don't want to sleep on the sofa or the floor, and I don't want to sleep with Hu Zongren, so I went out and found a clean hotel to live in, and the next morning after going to say goodbye to Master Xing Yazi, I called according to Master Yao's phone before. The first thing Master Yao said after receiving the call was, yo, you haven't forgotten today's agreement? I said that we are already in Chengdu, you can name a place, and we will come to you directly. Master Yao asked me to tell Hu Zongren that it was the same place where he went wild last time.
After hanging up the phone, Hu Zongren told me that it was their incense hall, and next to it was a very famous Taoist temple of the Quanzhen Dragon Sect, and most of the people in the Xuanyuan Society in Chengdu were inextricably related to this Taoist temple. I asked Hu Zongren, wouldn't it be the Taoist temple I thought? Hu Zongren nodded and said, that's what you think. Then Hu Zongren told me that the incense hall was near the Taoist temple, and that Master Yao seemed to live there all the year round.
According to the agreed time, I went to the incense hall of the Xuanyuan Society. After all, the Xuanyuan Society is a relatively secret organization, and it is not like in the movie, hanging a big plaque, for fear that no one will know that this is a gang. When I saw Master Yao, I was still stunned, because whoever calls me an old-timer, I seem to be at least about the same age as Master Situ, but the person in front of me looks only about 50 years old, very thin, so thin that the white Taoist robe on his body looks empty, with black hair and black beard, he doesn't look like an old-timer at all, and if I want to say it, he is at most about the same age as Ma Daoren.
Out of politeness, we still greeted first, although Hu Zongren had put away his usual arrogance in his conversation, but his tone was still neither humble nor arrogant. As an outsider, I listened to their conversation without saying a word. Hu Zongren told Master Yao that the period of August 15 has arrived, and he came to the door today, first, to apologize to his predecessors for his previous recklessness, and also hoped that the seniors would not care about the villains. At first, Master Yao was still a little contemptuous, and sourly sarcastic with that kind of yin and yang weird accent, but when Hu Zongren told him that the Eight Pole Seals on his body had been resolved, and he came here today, he didn't bring anything, and he just wanted you to say a word, either he would kill me Hu Zongren here today, or let us go our separate ways, and we would never get along with each other.
When he heard that the Eight Extremes Seal had been solved, Master Yao obviously showed a look of disbelief. But when Hu Zongren lifted his clothes to show him, he believed it, and soon calculated that all this was the result of Ma Daoren's help behind his back. In addition to Master Yao in the incense hall, there were seven or eight people who seemed to be his disciples waiting on the side, and their eyes were also full of disdain for me and Hu Zongren, judging from this situation, I want Master Yao to give up, but I am afraid that in front of this group of disciples, he will not agree, when I was about to whisper to Hu Zongren, let's not waste time, this guy will not let us go, Master Yao suddenly said:
That Ma Wei'an Ma Daoren, did you give you a phone? Hu Zongren was stunned for a moment and asked, Yes, but how do you know the Tao. Master Yao sneered and said, he is an outcast of my disciple, do you think I know the Dao? That's fine, this Ma Dao man thinks he has done you a great favor, so I'll follow his path. After speaking, Master Yao said to one of the disciples next to him, do you know the phone number of Lu Dao? The disciple nodded. Master Yao looked at Hu Zongren and said, You have settled in that small place in Chongqing all the year round, haven't you? Hu Zongren looked at me and said yes. Master Yao smiled and said, Okay, I'll give you another chance, in December of the year, even if you finish one thing in half a month on average, it is called underestimating your strength, plus you have this stinky boy by your side to help you.
Stinky boy, that's talking about me, old bastard, if it weren't for the fact that you have so many disciples on the side, I would have tore off your beard.
Master Yao continued, I will give you half a year, you will complete twenty-four cases for me, if they can be solved smoothly, from now on Xuanyuan will be from all my protégés, and will never find your trouble to disturb your life again, but if you mess up one, you will obediently return to my Xuanyuan Society, promote my Xuanyuan Daomen, we will not take any of the income from the case, and we will not interfere with how you do it, as long as the result is done. This is a gentleman's agreement, don't put a spell on you, don't put pressure on you, do you dare?
Hu Zongren looked at me, and I shook my head desperately at him and told him not to agree. Hu Zongren suddenly raised the corners of his mouth with a strange smile, I know that at this juncture, the arrogance of this bastard has risen again. Sure enough, he no longer stood upright as before, but put his hands in his trouser pockets, tilted his head and tilted his chin to look at Master Yao, and said to him like a ruffian, Okay, then the gentleman will be difficult to chase after him.
I rolled my eyes, and this guy really did what his master said, and he forgot about it when he went out.
Master Yao stood up with a smile and said to the disciples beside him, Okay, apprentices, today we will be the east, treat these two little brothers for me, and when they return to Chongqing, there will be twenty-four cases, let's see. After saying that, he turned around and left the incense hall.
After that, several of Master Yao's female apprentices entertained us for lunch, although these Dao aunts are really good-looking, and the Chengdu girls are already beautiful, but I am not in the mood anymore. Until we went to the train station after dinner, I didn't say a word to Hu Zongren, but on the way back to Chongqing, I knew that this matter had become no way back because of Hu Zongren's impulse, so I said to Hu Zongren, then you have to ensure that Ma Daoren's phone will not be cut off at any time and there will be no arrears.
Hu Zongren didn't look at me, just reached out and bit his fingernails, and nodded gently.
