I looked at their distant backs, felt embarrassed, withdrew my hand, and silently followed. From this moment on, I developed a habit that when I met someone new, I would rather hold my fist than shake someone's hand first.

Qiu Tingting whispered to the master as she walked, the voice was very soft, I was not far away, but I couldn't hear a word. When they came to the third courtyard, the master's steps became slower and slower, and finally he did not enter the hall at all, and the uncle and nephew sat down in a secluded corner of the courtyard and talked in detail. I couldn't go over, just watched from afar. From time to time, there are staff coming in and out, and I feel a little strange when I see them.

"Sir, who are you coming with?" A manager-like girl came up to me and asked.

"Oh, I'm here with Qiu Baye", I said.

"Then Qiu Baye is yours?" She looked at me.

I groaned slightly, "Uncle." ”

She nodded, "It turns out that you are also a member of the Qiu family." ”

"No, I am a descendant of the Lin family in Tianjin!" I looked at her, "What's the matter, are you going to blast me out?" ”

She was stunned, "The Lin family? We don't seem to have invited anyone from the Lin family...... Oh, I see, are you Qiu Baye's apprentice? Then why do you say he's your uncle? ”

"He is my uncle and my master", I smiled without humility or arrogance.

She breathed a sigh of relief, "Since it's your master, it's no problem." ”

"So, if you don't have the surname Qiu and you are not a disciple of the Qiu family, you are not qualified to enter this courtyard?" My voice is a little cold.

"This is a regular gathering between the Qiu family and today's feng shui masters, once a year," the girl explained, "except for the disciples of the Qiu family and the masters, no one is allowed to come in." ”

"Oh, I see", I glanced at Qiu Tingting in the distance, "Is there anyone from the Ye family?" ”

"The Qiu family came forward to be the fourth master and the eighth master, and there are a total of five feng shui masters with foreign surnames, and there is no Ye family among them", she looked at me, "Among today's feng shui celebrities, is there anyone with the surname Ye?" ”

I glanced at her coldly, "Don't worry, on this day next year, you will meet the feng shui masters of the Lin family and the Ye family, and be invited in like a guest!" ”

The girl was a little embarrassed, "Ugh...... Mr. Lin, don't get excited, I didn't mean to despise you. ”

I glanced at her, "I'm not excited, you can go in a hurry, when the eighth master finishes talking to your Miss Qiu, I will follow him in, and I will definitely not trespass." ”

The girl's words gave me a small stimulus, and I felt a kind of humiliation of having to bow my head under the eaves of people. Our Lin family is also a feng shui family, and my grandfather was also famous in Beijing and Tianjin, but in my generation, he was mixed to the point that he would be suspected by the staff when he was a disciple. I took a deep breath, Master was willing to bring me in to promote me, this is his kindness to me. The face is given by others, and the face has to be earned by yourself, the reputation of the Lin family in the feng shui circle has declined for more than ten years, I can't blame others, I can only fight for it myself.

When I calmed down, Master and Qiu Tingting finished chatting and returned to me, "Lin Zhuo, are you feeling uncomfortable?" ”

"No Master, that young lady just now asked me some questions and chatted casually", I lowered my head.

Master smiled, "You still want to hide it from me?" If you can't see this little bit of care, I will be your master. Boy, don't be impetuous, your master has also come from this step. If you want others to look up to you, you have to rely on your true skills. Master will take you this time, and next time you will win glory for Master. ”

"Yes, I understand Master", I said without humility or arrogance.

Qiu Tingting smiled lightly, "Eighth Uncle, let's settle that matter, you go in first, I'll go to the door to greet Fourth Uncle." After saying that, she looked at me, turned and left, and the first time we met, she didn't even say a word to me. It is precisely because of this that I remember her, and I dare not forget it in my life.

Master patted me on the shoulder, "Lin Zhuo, are you still feeling uncomfortable?" ”

I forced a smile and shook my head.

"If your grandfather and his old man are still alive, you don't have to wait to enter the courtyard, as long as his car arrives at the door", he pointed to the middle hall, "all these so-called masters in there have to go to the door to greet them, respectfully invite his old man inside, and one by one they dare not sit down." ”

I nodded, "I understand Master, I am a newcomer, I have no place in the Feng Shui circle, and there is no reason for others to value me because of my background." ”

"Now, you are the grandson of Lin Wuye, the disciple of Qiu Baye, in the future, if you have the ability to let others mention me, saying that it is Xiao Lin Ye's master, then the master will be satisfied", he looked at me calmly, "Before entering the door, you rely on the reputation of your ancestors, and after entering the door, the face of your ancestors will depend on you to win glory." ”

Master's enlightenment, my heart suddenly calmed down. Starting from our ancestor Lin Nianshan, it has been five generations since I came here, and the secret of Wushuangpu has never been cracked. Master said that that domineering secret book is unique in the world, and it is not inferior to the secret art of any family. This is my mission, I don't care what my face looks like, I just hope that when my grandson comes to this kind of meeting in the future, he will not be so despised by others.

followed the master into the middle hall, and the people inside suddenly stood up and clenched their fists, "Eighth master, you're here, it's been a long time!" ”

After the master returned the salute one by one, he looked at me, "Boy, these are all the world's feng shui masters, they are your predecessors, let me introduce you, this is Mr. Zhao Yuwang, he is the president of the World Yin and Yang Federation...... This is Mr. Ma Nature, he is a master of physiognomy......"

There were a total of five people in the hall, three men and two women, the men were Zhao Yuwang, Ma Tiantian and Wang Tianye, a feng shui master from the Northeast, all of whom were forty or fifty years old. The two women are very young and do not seem to be very old, they are Xu Mo, a feng shui master from Guangdong, and Li Zixin, a crape myrtle master from Zhongzhou, Luoyang, Henan.

"Everyone, this kid is my apprentice, his name is Lin Zhuo, he is the grandson of Tianjin Lin Wuye, and the only son of Lin Erye", the master clasped his fists at them, "Please take him more in the future, I thank you here in advance." ”

"Hahaha...... The eighth master's words are too polite", Zhao Yu Wang said with a smile, "The descendants of the Lin family in Tianjin, and the personal disciple of the eighth master, it seems that there is another young handsome man in our capital feng shui circle!" This is a good thing, congratulations! ”

"Yes, Eighth Master, you are not often in Beijing, only the Fourth Master is alone here, with this little brother taking over, the title of Qiumen Two-Headed Dragon can live up to its name again, this is a good thing", Ma naturally agreed.

Wang Tian also walked up to me, "You are a descendant of the Lin family, have you ever seen Wushuangpu?" ”

"Yes," I said.

"Can you lend it to me another day?" He looked at me, "I heard from my ancestors that the peerless spectrum is very powerful, and no one has ever been able to learn it, I also want to try, I don't know what Brother Lin thinks?" ”

I smiled coldly, "Wushuang spectrum is my Lin family's secret technique, and I never pass on my surname, Mr. Wang's intentions, I'm afraid it's not appropriate." ”

Master glanced at him, "Brother Wang, what you said is a bit too much. ”

Wang Tian was also stunned, "Oh, Eighth Master, I'm playing with the child, don't mind." I often hear the elders say how powerful this peerless spectrum is, and I am the first time I have seen the descendants of the Lin family, so I ...... Brother, don't take it to heart, when you go to the Northeast, I will take care of you! ”

Xu Mo and Li Zixin have been watching us quietly, occasionally chatting a few words in a whisper, but they have never spoken.

Each of these five people also brought disciples, and the apprentices of the three men were okay, and the disciples of the two girls were younger than them. I sighed in my heart, I became a master at such a young age, but I am almost thirty years old, and I have to rely on the support of the master. If I want to say that the biggest takeaway from this visit is that it made me completely understand what I am.

While the masters were chatting, we disciples stood next to us and listened quietly. In fact, they chatted very casually, and it had nothing to do with the number of techniques at all. To put it bluntly, this kind of gathering is actually for connecting feelings, seeing each other often, and taking care of each other when there is something.

After chatting for a while, King Zhao Yu looked at everyone and cleared his throat, "Uh, eighth master, I received a call from Xiao Guosheng last night, he said that you should think more about that matter, you can ...... it."

Master waved his hand, "I won't talk about this today, I have my own arrangements for that." ”

"Okay, good", King Zhao Yu breathed a sigh of relief, "I'll rest assured." ”

As she was talking, Qiu Tingting brought another person in, and when everyone saw him coming, they stood up one after another, and the three men said in unison, "Mr. Qiu, you are here!" ”

The two girls didn't speak, just hugged their fists slightly, and sat down again. This scene is very strange, even my master didn't dare to slack off when he came in, how could the two of them dare to be so rude?

I frowned, thinking to myself that two young girls, even if they have some ability, how strong can they be? That's crazy, isn't it?

The next scene made me even more unexpected, the tall middle-aged man in his fifties who came in ignored others, walked straight to the two girls first, and smiled slightly, "Miss Xu, Miss Li, it's really rare for you to come, when did you arrive?" ”

Xu Mo stood up and spoke a nice southern Mandarin, "I only arrived last night, and she has to be early." ”

Li Zixin also stood up, "I arrived at noon yesterday." ”

"It's really hard for you two, please sit down, sit down and talk," the middle-aged man said with a smile.

I looked at the three of them, and they all looked at each other, and they didn't seem to think anything was wrong. After greeting the two girls, the man turned to look at my master, "Eighth child, you've always been nice, haven't you?" ”

"Okay, fourth brother, you are not bad", the master pointed to me, "This is my apprentice, the only seedling of Second Brother Lin, the grandson of Fifth Uncle, his name is Lin Zhuo." Lin Zhuo, this is your fourth uncle. ”

"Fourth Master!" I salute respectfully.

He held me up, looked at it, and nodded, "You are quite similar to your father, yes, you have the spirit of the Lin family." My name is Qiu Zhi, I am in Beijing, if there is anything in the future, don't be polite to my uncle, just come to me. ”

"Thank you, uncle."

Master smiled, "Fourth brother, I can remember what you said. This kid is in Beijing, and I'm running around, so I'll give him to you today. If there's anything wrong with him, you can teach him whatever I want. ”

Qiu Zhi smiled slightly, "Although this kid is young, his ability is not small, I'm afraid he is not under you and me, when it comes to lessons, it will be serious." ”

Qiu Tingting walked over, "Fourth uncle, eighth uncle, since they are all here, then please take a seat." ”

So everyone got up and went to the banquet hall, I was just about to follow the master, suddenly someone behind me pulled me, I looked back, it was the little girl next to Xu Mo, "Mr. Lin, wait a minute, I have something to ask you." ”
