Chapter 54 The Heroes of the Rivers and Lakes
It was already evening when I came back from Lanqing's Yiyuan, and when I got home, I saw Huo Qian walking back and forth at the door without saying a word, it seemed that there should be something very tricky.
Seeing Yue Thunder coming back, Huo Qian hurriedly greeted him and said in a bit of a panic.
"Brother Ting, Uncle Gu is here, I waited for you all night, I was going to send someone to invite you back, Uncle Gu said that there is no hurry, today is your big event, he is waiting for you!"
Yue Thunder frowned, looking like he was facing a great enemy.
"Huo Qian, you are usually quite measured, Uncle Gu came and you actually asked him to wait for me all day! Did you say anything? ”
"I didn't say anything, I was doing it in the garden, and Liu Hao was with him now."
I saw that Yue Leiting's expression was so nervous, presumably the people who came were not trivial, and just wanted to go back to the room with Xiao Lianshan, he was stopped by Yue Leiting.
"Yan Hui, you accompany me to meet Uncle Gu, Lianshan, you and Qianling help me arrange Anqi."
Gu Anqi is also Lan Qing's niece, she came from Hong Kong all the way away, Yue Lei Ting said that she would no longer let her live in Jinjiang Hotel, anyway, there are many houses, not too many people to live alone, so Gu Anqi was also brought back by the way, Lan Qing repeatedly told that the daughter of the deceased must take care of it.
If Yue Lei Ting is completely in front of Lan Qing, it is completely a fear of affection, but compared to the Gu uncle in Yue Lei's mouth now, it is obvious that the expression on Yue Leiting's face is more of awe, and I rarely see Yue Lei Ting have a look of jealousy.
"Brother Ting, who is this Uncle Gu?" I asked, following behind.
"People in their seventies don't stop, and it's probably not good to come here in the middle of the night." Yue Lei Ting said in a low voice, as if he didn't hear my question.
"Uncle Gu's full name is Gu Xiaotian, and when he was young, he was also a powerful figure who covered the sky with one hand, and people who mixed in the road talked about seniority, so they all called him Uncle Gu." Huo Qian explained to me next to him.
"Seventy?" I smiled in surprise and said curiously. "You are so old, it stands to reason that you should take care of your old age, Brother Ting, why did you hear that Uncle Gu was coming, and you were so nervous."
"Nothing to do in the Three Treasures Palace, Uncle Gu has not asked about things for more than ten years, and today he suddenly came to me, waiting for a whole day, there must be something extraordinary, I can let him go, I'm afraid it won't be a trivial matter." Yue Lei Ting said in a deep voice as he walked.
The old man sitting on the bench in the garden should be Gu Xiaotian, I haven't seen anything powerful about this seventy-year-old man so far, but judging from the degree to which Liu Hao bowed his head beside him, he was more in awe of Gu Xiaotian than Yue Thunder.
"Uncle Gu, if you want to come, you won't say hello in advance, I have to pick you up in person." Yue Lei Ting didn't dare to sit when he walked to the side, and stood next to him respectfully like Liu Hao.
"Look at your belly, I haven't seen you for a few years, and you've grown so big." Gu Xiaotian glanced at Yue Yue and said with a smile like thunder. "You're half in the coffin, you have to pay attention to your body, maybe you won't be able to get up one morning."
"Hehe, what you always say is, don't you have dozens of people to eat with you, you can't be idle if you want to, or you are in your seventies, and your body is still so tough, I also think about working for a few more years to be the same as you, washing your hands and caring for the elderly." Yue Thunder bent over with a smile on his face and said.
"What does it mean to be idle, money is not brought to life and death is not taken away, there is nothing left when you kick your feet, this body is our own, if you want to live a few more years, it is better to look away."
Gu Xiaotian patted the bench next to him as he spoke, motioning for Yue Thunder to sit down.
I looked at Gu Xiaotian on the side, a very ordinary old man, who even needed crutches to walk, dressed very simply, his hair was sparse and silvery, probably because of his age, and the person on his face was a little shriveled.
However, Gu Xiaotian sat on the bench, his waist was straight like a sword out of the sheath, giving people an inexplicable majesty, from the physiognomy, Gu Xiaotian Tianting was towering and the five mountains were arched, the young must be noble, between the foreheads, for the palace of the field slaves, if the square is expensive, thick is rich, Gu Xiaotian is square and round, and the lord is glorious in his old age.
And Gu Xiaotian is an iron-faced sword eyebrow, an iron-faced person, if the spirit is iron-colored, the sword-eyebrow person, the rib bones are like a sword, and the person with this appearance is decisive and decisively orders the Quartet not to disobey.
"Uncle Gu, you still go into the room to do it, if the cold air in the evening makes you freeze out of the problem, we juniors can't afford to wear it." Yue Thunder held Gu Xiaotian's hand and said sincerely.
"I heard that your kid has a good life and found the Ming Fourteenth Tomb?" Gu Xiaotian turned his head and asked lightly.
Yue Lei Ting was stunned, the corners of his mouth squirmed for a long time, and he said with a dry smile.
"The eight characters haven't been skimmed yet, it's just a little eyebrows, you can rest assured, when I really find it, I will notify you as soon as possible, and I won't forget the rules."
"Notify me? Hehe. Gu Xiaotian smiled disapprecrovishly and said. Thunder, when you were young, I valued you a lot, ruthless, smart enough and righteous enough, the most important thing is that you kid dare to tell the truth, today, I will ask you, do you think my old bones still have a few days to live? ”
Yue Leiting heard Gu Xiaotian say this, but he was at a loss for a moment, and said with a smile.
"Your old body is so strong, it's easy to live to be ninety years old."
"Look, it is said that people live more and more finely, and even you don't have a word of truth in your mouth now." Gu Xiaotian shook his head seriously and smiled bitterly. "The body is my own, so where is your turn to compliment, Thunder, I won't tell you, I asked someone to buy the coffin last month, the shroud was chosen by myself, I found a piece of land in my hometown, wandered outside for a lifetime, always have to fall and return to the roots, and I don't want to be burned by someone after death, it's better to leave a whole corpse."
The more thunderous he heard, the more wrong he became, and he quickly stood up and said tremblingly.
"Uncle Gu, if you always have something to say, you can say it directly, I brought it out by you, if you point to the moon and say that it is black, the more thunder I will recognize the moon as black in my life, what you always say is what it is."
"Thunder, I have been rich and glorious all my life, and at this age, I have no interest in these things." Gu Xiaotian patted Yue Thunder's hand and smiled peacefully. "You also know, I started my home by digging the graves of the dead, there have always been rumors about the Ming Fourteenth Tomb in the industry, I heard people mention it when I was young, you said that such a big treasure trove, who doesn't want it, but unfortunately there is no such fate, your kid has a good life, and you actually let you find it, but there are mountains of gold, silver and jewelry inside, and you can eat it alone the more thunder? I'm afraid that before you can eat it, your life has already been put into it. ”
"Uncle Gu, about the Ming Fourteen Tombs, I only learned about it recently, and I found some clues by chance, but I really don't know where the Ming Fourteen Tombs are."
"What's the use of you telling me this, you should know the rules if you mix this business, we belong to the lower nine streams in the three sects and nine streams, and there are no rules, and there is no square circle, to tell you the truth, many people outside heard that you got the golden dragon turtle, which may be related to the Ming Fourteenth Tombs, and they all want to move you."
"Want to move me?!" Yue Thunder's face was fierce, and he said viciously. "These grandsons are tired of being crooked, and they beat me up with the idea of thundering, let them come, and Lao Tzu will prepare a coffin wreath for them."
"Thunder, you've been in the business for so long, why don't you understand the truth of gathering wealth and gathering people." Gu Xiaotian said with a faint smile. "People die for money, not to mention that you now hold the treasure trove of rich and rival countries in your hands, everyone wants a piece of the pie, how many people are there in your thunder? Are you going to be the enemy of the whole industry? You will soon become the target of the public, and when that time comes, you will be a rat crossing the street, and everyone will shout and beat, don't say that you find the Ming Fourteenth Mausoleum, my own coffin and shroud will be used for you first. ”
Huo Qian brought a cup of tea with just the right temperature to Gu Xiaotian and said modestly.
"Uncle Gu, you have been waiting here for a day, Brother Ting was brought out by you, you are always the most widely known in the circle, please show Brother Ting a way."
"Yes, Uncle Gu, what do you say I should do now?"
"Many people have come to me, and they all say that the more thunder you want to eat alone, you swallowed the 14th Tombs of the Ming Dynasty alone, I will temporarily press you, although I am old, but now it still works, but the following crowd is excited and you always have an explanation."
"Uncle Gu, why don't I ask these people out to talk?"
"You really think of yourself as a corner, and if you say something in your acre and three points of land, people will listen to you, and people in other places will buy your account?" Gu Xiaotian said lightly.
"Uncle Gu, say it, I'll listen to you!" Yue Thunder sat back on the bench.
"I have already arranged it for you, you handed over the golden dragon turtle, on the seventh day of the next month, according to the rules of the industry, the open competition, the leader takes the dragon turtle away, and those who have no ability do not have to complain, the competition is fair and reasonable and no one dares to disagree."
"Open competition?" Yue Thunder thought about it and asked with some hesitation. "Uncle Gu, what is this competition for?"
"The 14th Mausoleum of the Ming Dynasty is a rumor of feng shui in the public opinion world, according to the Taoist five arts, the phase, divination, mountain, life and fighting method, is a mule or a horse to know." Gu Xiaotian said as he looked at Yue Thunder. "You have Huo Qian by your side, and the odds are quite good, but the three sects and nine streams of the hidden dragon and the crouching tiger dragon and snake are mixed in the industry, and in the end, whether the Ming Fourteenth Tomb is yours or not, it depends on whether you have this wealth in your own fate."
After listening to Gu Xiaotian's words, Yue Lei Ting didn't even think about it, and nodded vigorously.
"Uncle Gu, then bother your old man, do everything according to your orders, and I will send someone to send you the Golden Dragon Turtle immediately."
"You don't need this, you keep it for yourself, I know better than anyone who you are." Gu Xiaotian stood up, suddenly turned his head, and said earnestly. "Thunder, you're not too young, what are you fighting for...... Hey, I'm old, and there are a lot of bits and pieces, you haven't said it to me, in short, you remember, wealth is like floating clouds, not to mention that you are now broken hands and feet, and you have enough food and drink, why bother to wade into this troubled water. ”
